The U8 division is a developmental soccer program where players become more familiar with soccer and handling the ball with both feet and hands. They are introduced to a larger six field with new lines, more players, goal keepers, and a larger goal area, which presents new challenges for children in this age group. The main emphasis of the program is FUN, and learning the techniques of soccer (dribbling, receiving, passing, shooting, tackling/defending the goal, and goal keeping). On each U8 team there are generally 10 players, they play with a #3 ball, and goal keepers are used.
The U8 play game one night a week, with the girls playing on Monday or Thursday evenings, and boys playing on Tuesday or Wednesday evenings (teams may be scheduled on either night, teams may not be selected by which day a player is available to play on). Practices take place one evening a week at a local elementary school, the exact day, time and location are determined by the coaches.

'Out of the Furnace' star Zoe Saldana only watches her movies twice
Zoe Saldana is in some pretty good company in the drama "Out of the Furnace," co-starring alongside Christian Bale, Forest Whitaker, Woody Harrelson, Casey Affleck, Willem Defoe and Sam Shepard in director Scott Cooper's follow-up to "Crazy Heart." Just don't expect her to watch it more than twice through.
It's quite the impressive ensemble in this. Who was already on board when you joined the cast?
Christian was already on board, Sam Shepard was already on board, then everybody else was still up in the air. But they were the names that were mentioned. Casey was almost a yes, I believe. So when I heard these names I really prayed that it was going to be everybody that joined the cast because those are actors that I've always wanted to work with. And to actually have them all together, it's like having pizza, cheeseburgers and ice cream at the same time. [Laughs]
I was explaining the plot of this film to a friend, and their response was, "So Uhura leaves Batman for Ghost Dog?"
I love that! Uhura leaves Batman for Ghost Dog. I'm going to tell Christian and Forest that. It's amazing.
Some actors can't stand watching their own films. How about you?
I only have it in me for maybe two screenings, and then after that I can't do it. I like to see it and feel very happy for everything first, then the second time you're watching it and you're paying attention to what everybody's doing, and then after the third time it's going to be about everything else — "Oh, my hair…" "Did they have to use this take? There was another take that was so good." After the third screening you just can't watch it anymore. You revisit it every two or three years when a family member forces you to sit down with them and watch it while they hold your hand. Which is what happens to me and my grandma.
You have to give them a little leeway because it's family.
Yeah. Like my poor grandma, she's been asking me to give her an autograph since I did "Center Stage" 15 years ago, and I'm not going to write my grandmother an autograph. That's just ridiculous. I'm your granddaughter. You get to cook for me. And if one day I'm sick you get to heal me. I'm not going to sign my name on a picture of myself and go, "Here, Grandma!" It's just uncomfortable.
Has it really been 15 years since "Center Stage"? Now I feel old.
Are you kidding? I turned 21 on that movie, and now it's like even if I wanted to play a high school student, I could never. That's the way I would see it sometimes, going, "OK, I'm 26 today, but I can still play like I'm in high school." And then that one day I remember I said it for the last time and [my agent] was the one that said, "Uh… no." I never thought about it again. [Laughs]

Zimmermann pitched six solid innings for the Washington Nationals, allowing no runs on four hits and five strike-outs. Milwaukee's only run of the night came in the 8th inning, when Jonathan Lucroy sent a solo shot over the center wall. Zimmermann is now 4-0 all-time against his home-state team. On an injury note, Brewers starting pitcher Tom Gorzelanny left the game in the second inning after being hit by a liner. Team officials say he suffered a left elbow contusion and x-rays were negative. The two teams meet again tonight with pregame coverage on WHBL beginning at 5:35.

In the dance world, all eyes will be on the Miami City Ballet.
This is the debut season from artistic director Lourdes Lopez, who set tongues wagging last year when she was asked by MCB's board to take over eight months earlier than previously scheduled, replacing company co-founder Edward Villella who was at the helm for 27 years. Lopez gamely finished out the season planned by Villella and triumphed with the wary dancers.

Albion 4, Dagenham & Redbridge 3 A no lesser luminary than William Shakespeare once wrote that timing is everything.
That has certainly been the case for Albion this season.
Evening games always have more of an atmosphere and the final night match at Withdean was an absolute humdinger as Gus Poyet's Seagulls clinched promotion in extraordinary style.
Championship football coinciding with the move to The Amex next season was always the dream ticket.
Poyet's team have delivered the dream with a brand of passing football not normally associated with the lower divisions.
Dagenham, fighting to avoid relegation, did their utmost to wreck the party but Albion, as they have done throughout the campaign, found a way to win.
Poyet predictably kept changes to a minimum following Saturday's accomplished 2-0 home victory against Sheffield Wednesday.
The only alteration was in the centre of defence, Tommy Elphick deputising for suspended skipper Gordon Greer after the Glaswegian's red card for elbowing in the closing moments against Sheffield.
Inigo Calderon once again took over the captain's armband in Greer's absence.
Dagenham also made one change to the side which ended a five-match sequence without a victory by beating Notts County 3-1 at home on Saturday.
West Ham loanee Oliver Lee came into a five-man midfield at the expense of former Seagull Darren Currie, whose legs cannot cope with two matches in quick succession these days.
Currie joined another ex-Albion player, Bas Savage, on the bench.
Poyet warned in the build-up that victory would not be a formality.
Dagenham had a big incentive to live up to their billing as party poopers, considering they arrived just two points and two places above the relegation zone.
John Still's team had not read the script. They stunned a sold-out Withdean into silence with a goal after just 21 seconds.
A header by Adam El-Abd fell to John Akinde, the visitors' solitary striker. His ensuing shot took a deflection off Elphick past the wrong-footed Casper Ankergren for his second goal in as many games since joining the Essex strugglers on loan from Bristol City.
You do not get to where Albion are by being fazed by such an inconvenience. They responded in the manner of champions.
Craig Noone was their inspiration. The lively winger had a sweetly struck shot from 30 yards athletically tipped over the bar by Tony Roberts, Dagenham's 41-year-old custodian.
Noone then finished a jinking run with another fierce effort from just outside the penalty area which rattled the bar.
Albion were level moments later, El-Abd flicking on an Elliott Bennett corner for Calderon to toe-poke in at the near post.
What a season it has been for the Spaniard. He now has seven goals to his name, which is some going for a right-back.
With parity restored, it took the Seagulls only a minute to take the lead. Noone's cross was met at the far post by Glenn Murray with a well-directed header which a defender tried to hook clear but was over the line when Chris Wood made sure, giving Murray his 21st goal of the campaign.
Dagenham, to their credit, did not crumble when confronted by such a swift and rousing recovery.
The Seagulls continued to look ill at ease at the back without Greer's calming influence in an entertaining first half.
Akinde was a menace. He had an angled drive tipped over by Ankergren and, shortly before the interval, finished a strong run with a low shot which again had Albion's dependable Danish keeper at full stretch.
If fortunes fluctuated in the first half, it was nothing compared to the opening 11 minutes of the second half, as Albion suddenly and unexpectedly found themselves behind again, then level again.
Dagenham's equaliser, like Akinde's quick opener, was fortuitous. Romain Vincelot rolled a pass for Jon Nurse to turn inside the box and shoot past Ankergren via another wicked deflection, this time off Calderon.
Dagenham went ahead three minutes later, Danny Green converting his 12th of the season from the spot after El-Abd brought down the ubiquitous Akinde.
Once again Albion's mettle was severely tested and, once again, they found a thrilling answer. Liam Bridcutt made it 3-3 in the 56th minute with a beauty, a rising drive into the roof of the net from 20 yards.
An extraordinary contest took another twist in Albion's favour seven minutes later. Ashley Barnes, on in place of Wood, headed a Bennett corner into the roof of the net for his 16th goal of the season.
Poyet does not like games like this. He calls it 50-50 football, as opposed to the controlled manner in which his side have secured the vast majority of their victories this season.
The Withdean faithful lapped it up, of course – goals galore, numerous close shaves at both ends and the dramatic shifts in momentum made for a riveting spectacle.
Albion have rarely looked so vulnerable in defence with nerves increasing as the prize drew closer.
Ankergren, much busier than normal, was forced into another good save from a Green free-kick before Mark Arber, the Dagenham captain and centre half, lobbed just wide amid recriminations in the Seagulls' ranks.
It was an uncharacteristic way for Albion to haul themselves over the finishing line but enthralling all the same.
ALBION (4-2-1-3): Ankergren; Calderon, Elphick, El-Abd, Painter; Bridcutt, Dicker (Kishishev, 85); Bennett, Murray, Wood (Barnes, 56), Noone (Sparrow, 65). Subs not used: Brezovan, Navarro, Sandaza, Dunk.
Scorers: Calderon (18), Murray (19), Bridcutt (56), Barnes (63).
Booked: El-Abd (82) foul, Ankergren (90) time wasting.
Dagenham (4-5-1): Roberts; Ogogo, Arber, Doe, Ilesanmi; Green, Vincelot, Gain, Lee (Currie, 83), Nurse; Akinde.
Subs not used: McCrory, Antwi, Savage, Bingham, Lewington, Lancaster.
Scorers: Akinde (1), Nurse (48), Green (51) penalty.
Booked: Green (41) foul, Vincelot (68) foul, Ilesanmi (73) foul.

Ozone Park, NY (Sports Network) - Odds-on favorite Caixa Eletronica battled for the lead and then ran away down the stretch to win Thursday's $75,000 Uncle Mo Stakes at Aqueduct.
Making his first start since November, Caixa Eletronica, ridden by Javier Castellano, broke from the inside post in the six-furlong race and was joined on the lead by 13-1 longshot Broad Rule.
The top two runners battled around the far turn and heading into the stretch when Caixa Eletronica pulled away. Trained by Todd Pletcher, the 1-5 favorite left his four rivals far behind down the stretch and registered a 2 3/4-length victory.
Broad Rule finished second followed by Ponzi Scheme, St Liams Halo and Chasin the Cash.
The time for the Uncle Mo was 1:10.59 on a fast track.
Owned by Mike Repole, Caixa Eletronica added $45,000 to his earnings which now total $1,643,205. The overnight stakes was the 8-year-old's 20th career win in 61 starts.
Caixa Eletronica wrapped up his 2012 season with a four-length win in the Fall Highweight Handicap at Aqueduct. His biggest win last year came in the $1 million Charles Town Classic. He also won the Rise Jim Stakes at Aqueduct last year and the True North Handicap at Belmont Park.
Caixa Eletronica returned $2.30, $2.10 and $2.10. Broad Rule paid $4.20 and $2.40, and Ponzi Scheme paid $2.20 to show.

Linux Folders
I have a network attached external hard drive that is running Linux. While it was attached to the network all was well, however it died and I now have lost my files. I can read the drive and see what is on it but I have no idea what to look for in the files. I have excel docs that were saved in windows and put on the drive but don't know what the extension of the files would be. Any help would be great.
The Normal Extension
The files will be saved with same name and extension that they'd have on a Windows system, for excel files that's normally .xls.
The larger problem you may have, assuming you're trying to access the drive directly and access it from a Windows system is that it probably isn't formatted with a Windows compatible file system (FAT or NTFS). Most likely it's formatted with the EXT2 file system. There are programs out there that will allow you to read these from a Windows system, for example explore2fs.
Mitch Frazier is an Associate Editor for Linux Journal.
Thank you so much. As soon as I got the file installed it worked great.
Thanks Again
As Linux continues to play an ever increasing role in corporate data centers and institutions, ensuring the integrity and protection of these systems must be a priority. With 60% of the world's websites and an increasing share of organization's mission-critical workloads running on Linux, failing to stop malware and other advanced threats on Linux can increasingly impact an organization's reputation and bottom line.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

The Crown® PCC®-130 is a surface mounted small cardioid microphone of professional quality. This handsomely styled unit is appropriate for use on the most elegant boardroom table or lectern. Other applications include churches, courtrooms and teleconferencing. With its small size, the PCC-130 is less conspicuous on a conference table than comparable mics. Because of its highly directional pickup pattern, the PCC-130 minimizes background noise and feedback.
The microphone uses the principle of phase coherency achieved by mounting a small-diameter mic capsule very near a boundary. Direct and reflected sound waves arrive at the mic in-phase, and add coherently. This enhances sensitivity, clarity and reach. Self-contained electronics eliminate the need for an in-line power module. Powered by 12-48V phantom power, the PCC-130 has a low impedance balanced output which permits long cable runs without hum pickup or high frequency loss. Included with each PCC-130 is a 15-foot (4.6-m), two-conductor shielded microphone cable with a TA3F connector (mic end) and 3-pin male XLR-type connector (output).
Capable of withstanding up to 120 dB SPL without distortion, the PCC-130 will never overload in practical use. Its electret-condenser capsule provides a wide, smooth frequency response from 50 Hz to 20 kHz. RFI suppression is included. Self-noise is low and sensitivity is very high. A bass-tilt switch allows the user to tailor the low-end response for particular applications. Permanent mounting is enabled by screw holes in the base. Engineering attention-to detail has assured years of reliable use from this trouble-free microphone.
The bottom of the microphone features a three-position BASS-TILT switch: FLAT, CUT, and BOOST. Low-frequency response is adjustable.

PARIS (Reuters) - Chris Chadwick, president of Boeing's
"We had phone calls within the first hour after we were awarded the KC-46 from international customers. There's a pent-up demand for this kind of capability," Chadwick told Reuters in an interview at the Paris air show.
Boeing is preparing for the start of a critical design review of the new KC-46 refueling plane, based on its 767 airliner, that it is building for the U.S. Air Force.
Chadwick said the company's primary focus now was completing development of the new military aircraft, which will be used to refuel warplanes in mid-flight, as well as driving down the cost. But he said Boeing was working closely with the U.S. Air Force to respond to strong international demand for the planes.

I searched for two years to find a scent that met my standards. Rose is a beautiful subtle scent with just a hint of green tea to mystify, it makes me feel happy when I put it on every morning. My only wish is that the scent stayed a little longer. I would like to try the perfume rather than the eau de toilette for a little more intensity.

Bank stock rally faces earnings test
Shares of big banks are gaining as investors anticipate falling credit costs. Now the companies must deliver the goods.
By Lauren Tara LaCapra, TheStreet
The performance of big banks in the first quarter will depend on whether they boosted profits in booming areas or stitched up wounds in still-troubled ones.
Capital markets continued to improve last quarter. Wealth management, stock and bond issuance, advisory services and proprietary trading businesses are likely to have grown during the first quarter. Net interest margins probably expanded as credit costs eased.
On the downside, lending is weak and new regulation has curtailed fee revenue from sources such as overdrafts, credit cards and deposits. It's unclear how mortgage modification programs are faring with charge-off and foreclosure rates still high. It's also difficult to tell whether fees from strong refinancing volume and new home purchases will be enough to counter those losses. Banks that took advantage of shifting interest rates early with smart hedging strategies may have offset housing losses entirely.
Collins Stewart analyst Todd Hagerman issued a report on Monday that cited the positive trends for the group. He upgraded Wells Fargo's (WFC) stock to "buy" and reiterated the same rating for JPMorgan Chase (JPM) and Bank of America (BAC). He rates Citigroup (C) stock "hold."
Find a new broker and start trading online
"Bank stocks have soared this quarter as cheap valuations, combined with the likelihood that credit has finally reached an inflection point, have provided the necessary fuel to propel the group higher," Hagerman said in his report.
Deutsche Bank (DB) analyst Matt O'Connor says negative factors are "known issues" and identified several areas that have room for "potential positive surprises." He says margins could expand because of low funding costs and revenue could increase from mortgages, nonperforming loan sales and trading in bonds, currencies and commodities.
"We think more banks will talk about becoming profitable at some point this year," O'Connor says.
Performance hinges on expectations too, and the positive Wall Street sentiment on banks may end up leading to a rally that falls flat when the companies report. The KBW Bank Index ($KBX) soared 22% during the first quarter, with JPMorgan gaining 7%, Wells Fargo adding 15%, Bank of America climbing 15% and Citigroup soaring 22%.
During the first week of the second quarter, they have continued to surge. Bank of America shares have risen every day this week, topping $18 five days in a row, something the stock hasn't done since November 2008.
Bank of America is expected to earn 8 cents per share on revenue of $27.6 billion, the average estimates of analysts surveyed by Thomson Reuters. Analysts predict JPMorgan will report a profit of 65 cents on $26.6 billion in revenue. Wells Fargo is projected to earn 40 cents on $21.6 billion in revenue. Citigroup is forecast to report a slight loss but break even on a per share basis on $20.9 billion in revenue.
With the bulls charging in ahead of the earnings reports, any minor disappointment could set the stocks back. O'Connor lowered his "normalized" annual profit estimate for Bank of America to $2.09 per share from $2.82 after doing a "deep dive" into the firm's profit fundamentals.
O'Connor says the elimination of certain fee sources, along with reductions to Bank of America's home equity, auto and credit-card portfolios will impact the company more than Wall Street expects. The firm is also rebalancing its assets to keep pace with changing interest rates, which may limit profits in the near term. Most analysts expected normalized estimates of $3 per share or more, according to O'Connor, something that's not realistic given the headwinds, he says.
O'Connor says Wells Fargo is a "top pick" because of its asset exposure to a steep yield curve and strong mortgage business. He also expects Wells Fargo to pick up business as Bank of America and JPMorgan get rid of some assets and customers.
"With the stock trading at about eight times our normal earnings per share estimate (versus 9 times for the overall group), we think the valuation is very attractive," says O'Connor.
Citigroup's results stand to be muddled as ever, as the company keeps works through bad mortgage bets and business divestitures. Its core business lines appear to have improved and its stock has gained. The Treasury Department plans to sell its 30% equity stake over the course of the year.
In a note to clients last week, Rochdale Securities analyst Richard Bove joined a growing number of analysts and investors arguing that Citigroup's book value is understated. He said its recent Primerica spin-off showed there's more value in Citi Holdings assets than many assumed, and proved there's a market for other assets the firm is trying to sell.
"Buyers for the stock that the government is about to sell are likely to line up," Bove wrote. "The issue will be sold sooner rather than later."
If credit costs improve, investors will question when these banks will be able to consistently increase revenue again. Bank of America, for instance, is expected to post sequential sales growth for the first time in year.
Ladenburg Thalmann (LTS) said in a research note this week that banks will have to focus on reinvestment this year to set the stage for future growth. Questions about credit will shift to questions about revenue.
"We think normalized earnings means more than just lower credit and operating costs," the firm wrote. "To us, it means a return to growth levels that modestly exceed nominal US gross domestic product growth (recent economic forecasts are 3.5% to 4.5%)."

Jay Moxey provided Kell with the hot start and the strong finish and did a lot of the dirty work in between, leading the Longhorns to a 35-20 victory against east Cobb rival Lassiter at home on Friday.
Moxey's interception and 21-yard return of a Will Anderson pass on the third play of the game set Kell up on the 19-yard line and led to a 40-yard field goal by Cameron Massung with 9:25 to play in the first quarter that gave the Longhorns a 3-0 lead they never relinquished.
Moxey's second interception stopped Lassiter's final drive at the Kell 15-yard line with 27 seconds remaining in the game.
The 5-foot-7, 165-pound senior also scored two of the Longhorns' four touchdowns. His 1-yard run on the fourth play of the second quarter gave Kell a 13-3 lead, and his 17-yard scoring run with 1:41 to play provided the final score of the night and essentially put the game away.
Lassiter trailed 28-10 entering the fourth quarter and eventually cut the lead to 28-20, but the Trojans' final two drives ended with a punt and an interception.
Moxey rushed for 75 yards on 15 carries for Kell, which finished with a 303-302 advantage in total offense. Kell quarterback Matthew McGuigan completed 20 of 32 passes for 197 yards.
Kell (3-0), the fifth-ranked team in Class AAAAA, picked up its third consecutive victory against a AAAAAA team. The Longhorns opened the season by beating Chattahoochee 26-16 in the Corky Kell Classic and Woodstock 41-21 last week. Lassiter, which fell to 1-2, will begin play in Region 5-AAAAAA next week at home against Cherokee.
Kell took advantage of good field position on its first three possessions to take a 13-3 lead, and then drove 89 yards late in the first half for a touchdown before settling for a 20-10 halftime lead.
After Moxey's first interception set up a field goal, Kell got the ball at its 48 after forcing a Lassiter punt. The Longhorns drove to the Lassiter 12, where they got a 29-yard field goal by Massung to make it 6-0.
After Lassiter's Luke Hardin kicked a 27-yard field goal to cut the lead to 6-3, Kell's Julian Burris returned the kickoff 42 yards to the Lassiter 48, setting up an eight-play drive that was capped by Moxey's 1-yard touchdown run.

Kell took advantage of Lassiter drops seemed to get a couple of breaks on a punt and a kickoff from Lassiter. I think both could have easily been Lassiter ball, but no idea what the refs did/did not see. Lassiter did not help their cause with dropped passes either. Gotta make those plays to win a game like tonight.
Was also surprised that Lassiter didn't use both QBs. Aarons looked very good last week. Anderson was up and down, but like I said above, a lot of that had to do with some huge drops by guys who are generally sure-handed. Those will hurt at anytime in a game, but especially on some big 3rd and 4th down plays that could have led to points or at least give the Lassiter D some extra rest.
Anyone know the status of Waters, the freshman RB at Lassiter? I am hoping the injury looked worse than it turns out to be. He had looked very good this year and was showing he was going to be a force the next 4 years there.
Both teams with a lot of talent, but Kell got the better of Lassiter tonight.

MYFOXNY/AP -- New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio's administration has blocked three charter schools from using space inside public school buildings, reversing a decision from his predecessor and making good on a campaign promise to rein in the influence of private education providers.
De Blasio, a Democrat, accused former Republican Mayor Michael Bloomberg's administration of trying to "rush" the co-location decisions to give free space in city-owned buildings to the charter schools in the final days before leaving office last year.
Bloomberg was a strong proponent of the taxpayer-funded but privately run charter schools, which grew from 17 to 183 during his time in office, while de Blasio has pledged to charge rent to "well-resourced" charter schools and has called for a moratorium on allowing new charters to share buildings with traditional schools.
"We were handed a series of last-minute moves by the Bloomberg administration approving a number of co-locations," de Blasio said Thursday. "We knew that if they could get away it, they would."
A spokesman for the former mayor declined comment.
The three charters denied the space are part of the Success Academy Charter Schools system run by former City Councilmember Eva Moskowitz. They had aimed to open this fall and had already hired teachers and were in the process of admitting approximately 600 students.
"Explaining to students and families that they won't have a school next year is the most heartbreaking thing I've done at Success Academies," Moskowitz said in a statement. "No parent should have to go through this."
"I'm so upset. It's more than just a school. It's a family. We all work together. I don't know what's going to happen to my son. I will not put him in regular public school. No way. This whole plan is not about the kids, it's about his attack on Eva," said assistant principal and mother Shea Reeder to FOX 5 morning program 'Good Day New York.'
Though de Blasio was a frequent critic of charter schools on the mayoral campaign trail last year, several other charter school co-locations plans were approved. Of the 49 schools that had been approved for co-location reviewed by the Department of Education under new Schools Chancellor Carmen Farina, only nine were rejected: the three charters and six regular district public schools.
The head of the teachers union applauded the decision.
"I'm glad the DOE has taken an important first step in vetoing some particularly troublesome pending co-locations," said Michael Mulgrew, president of the United Federation of Teachers.
"I can't understand why anyone would throw the number one in math in the entire state of New York … out on the street; evicting them from their school," said Moskowitz during 'Good Day New York' on Friday.
De Blasio has said that he wants a moratorium on placing charter schools in public school buildings and suggested that future decisions would include meetings with neighborhood groups and parents.

Years ago, Heidi Kunz learned that one of her students planned to take two English classes that would require reading Moby Dick and Paradise Lost simultaneously. She tried—and failed—to talk her out of it.
A few weeks into the semester, Kunz asked the student how she was handling the heavy reading load. "It's no problem," the student said. "They're both really the same story."
That student's important literary connection excited Kunz, a Randolph English professor. "I love the kind of student who decides to come to a liberal arts college with small class sizes," Kunz said. "They are intellectually engaged students, and that's any teacher's dream."
Another aspect about Randolph College that Kunz loves is the opportunity to be intellectually engaged herself. While her focus is primarily teaching, she also dedicates time researching and writing about an assortment of literary and historical topics.
"I love having the ability to pursue what interests me without being limited to one area of specialization that I'm expected to follow forever," she said.
Kunz's research has gained attention during the past two years. In 2011, she was chosen to present at the international Fitzgerald Conference in France, and she was recently named to the editorial board of the prestigious journal The F. Scott Fitzgerald Review. She also has been invited to author chapters for several books.
One such chapter appeared in F. Scott Fitzgerald in Context, a book in the respected series by Cambridge University Press. Her piece, "Gender in the Jazz Age," explained how Fitzgerald's novels and short stories depicted evolving gender roles in the 1920s. At that time, some women adopted a "new feminism," which involved pursuing a career while maintaining a family life. In response to the empowerment of women, the criteria of American masculinity also changed, with a focus on the development of the male body, she wrote.
"A lot of scholarly attention has been devoted to Fitzgerald's depictions of women. Very little, until quite recently, has been explicated about his understanding of manhood and masculinity," Kunz said. "I'm fascinated by how insightful he was."
Kunz was also selected to contribute a chapter to The Poetics of Science: Literary Explorations and Cultural Difference. That work explored the contemporaneous American literary responses to Maria Mitchell, the first professional female astronomer in America. In addition, Cambridge invited her to write an essay for Edith Wharton in Context. In this chapter, Kunz covered criticism of Wharton's writing and broke new ground by including the reviews Wharton wrote of her own work.
"The scholars who have written about the reviews have not included Wharton's own thoughts," Kunz said. "I was really delighted to restore her to the contemporary conversation about her work."

Food Scented Gifts: Yay or Nay?
Food-scented candles and other gifts seem to either smell wonderful or a little strange. Sugar cookies and gingerbread scents are great for candles, but what about body lotion?
I love the Aunt Sadie's pumpkin pie candle I found at Anthropologie a few years ago. I burn it to get rid of kitchen odors or when I want the place to smell like, well, I have a pumpkin pie in the oven! However, the cinnamon bun body wash I received as a gift doesn't really do it for me. It smells great, just like cinnamon buns, but why I would want my body to smell like baked goods is lost on me.
Food scents are hit or miss. I love basil and mint scented hand soaps and lotions but lemon can become overpowering. Williams Sonoma does a good job of capturing light scents -- I love their new lemongrass ginger lotion and soap. Another favorite is Burt's Bee's almond hand lotion. However, sometimes its strong almond scent makes me feel as though I've spread marzipan on my hands instead.
Do you look forward to or cringe at food-scented gifts?

Seems a little tacky.
Depends on the smell and the product it is being infused into but generally, anything that goes on the body-no thanks. But, if it is a candle with a subtle aroma or a room diffuser, then I may be more inclined to enjoy it.
Food scented things are hit or miss. Smelling like a fruit (strawberry, raspberry) or mint is one thing. That's usually quite pleasant. Smelling like "warm vanilla sugar" is another thing entirely. I think it's tacky to smell like an artificial baked good. If I want to smell like a sugar cookie, I'll go make some.
So, to answer the question, I dread them. They are usually returned or re-gifted. Don't tell my sisters.
I think that food scents tend to be sickly sweet and even chemically smelling--I don't like them. However, I love herb scented candles and body products: bergamot citrus perfume from Fresh; the all-purpose environmentally friendly cleaner I use which is scented with parsley essential oil; rosemary olive oil soap. I can't get enough of that type thing....
Nay. Especially the fruit and vanilla scents. I do like some of the herbal scents.
A good vanilla is about all I can stand for sweet scents. Citrus are good but can be overpowering at times.
I despise food scents for the body. I have a whole hoard of warm vanilla sugar body lotions, sprays, washes and soaps that people keep getting because they think "she likes to bake, therefore she wants to smell like fake vanilla and sugar."
Fortunately for any future girlfriends, I told my little brother early on that you never get a girl food scented body things unless she specifically asks for it.
As for candles and things, it's on a smell by basis. I think some can smell delightful and other just gross.
Nyet on the food smells, with exceptions for herbs that tend to show up in body products for their own legitimate reasons (like lavender and mint).
One exception I make is grapefruit. I craved grapefruit to a ridiculous degree when I was pregnant and even was using grapefruit body wash. Still am! But I put that down to a hormonal weirdness--I wouldn't gift it to anyone else.
I have a friend that works for Philosophy, home to all things food-scented. And I have been gifted on more than one occasion with that very same cinnamon bun scented body wash! If I'm unable to return it, I pass it along to my 14 year old niece (who loves it), but I wish there was a graceful way to say, thanks so much for your thoughtfulness, but please, no more!
I hate food smelling body wash and lotions. My mom has bought quite a few cake or frosting smelling ones for me in the past and getting out of shower smelling like that just nauseates me.
On the other hand I like a lavender and rose body spray, or sometimes a plain vanilla one. But I pick those out myself and wear them sparingly.
I wish people would just stop buying food (or any weirdly scented) things for me. I love and appreciate the gesture of gift giving, and the notion that I should pamper myself, but I just think it's too hard to guess what someone will like or use, and too easy to buy something unlikeable.
I've just taken to telling people I have an allergy to most lotions, etc., so I can buy my own. I feel bad buying it, but do I really need another [insert ridiculous food scent] [insert personal care product] ?
DanielleM, could you gently hint to your friend, "I've been dying to try that new lavender [or insert more appealing scent here] body wash you guys have!"
My therapist would be ticked if she knew I was suggesting such a passive agressive approach...
I dont mind some things, but others? Ew. For example: almost everything at bath and body works: GROSS. but, almost everything at yankee candle: awesome!
that being said, i use boots' body wash in 'brazil nut and vanilla' scent. i absolutely adore it, but i had my mom smell it and she recoiled -- she hates vanilla scented anything.
I, for one, am pretty sensitive to artificial scents, be they candle- or lotion-based, so I'm not really a fan of scented stuff to begin with. If anything, I'd like a mild, realistic citrus or mint smell.
Yes, I'm one of those semi-annoying types who says, "I'd rather just smell THE REAL THING!" :)
it is too hard to know what others like, i don't gift them.
I agree with ericasullivan - you just can't replace the real thing.
If they're realistic enough, I love them. However, there is little more unpleasant than the plasticky-chemical food scents that are sold by the mall-type stores. :(
Please NO VANILLA. I can't stand vanilla-scented things. It's the worst scent ever! Gross!
I love real vanilla-baked things, but will never in a million years find vanilla-scented items to be anything but revolting.
However, I have enjoyed cinnamon-scented items. :)
I guess I'm alone when I say I love food scented products, but I am careful to choose those that smell nearly identical to the food itself. It never occurred to me that I may cause people to recoil when I walk by smelling like vanilla or peppermint.
I work at Bath & Body Works and I agree that many of their scents, even those that don't smell like food, are nauseating. However, they make an awesome Hot Buttered Rum candle that I burn around the holidays.
I love Bath & Body works lemon hand soap. It smells like pie. Many of their scents I can't handle, though. Too many chemicals.
I hate scented products as they give me a headache, so if someone gave me one I'd have to hide it or give it away.

The DeKalb County school board needs to find a new chairman. Current chair Eugene Walker announced Monday that he is stepping down from his leadership position, though he will remain on the board.
Last week, the board tried to vote on a new chairman. However, they couldn't come to an agreement, so Walker kept the post.
Walker said stepping down is an effort to show the board is working together.
"We want the public to know that we are a board and we will make whatever sacrifices are necessary to move us forward and move us forward in a positive way," said Walker.
The Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS) put the district on probation last December after an investigation found mismanagement of money, an abuse of power and a lack of leadership.
"He felt it was necessary to let new leadership rise to the occasion and I'm very proud of the position and the decision he made today," said interim school superintendent Michael Thurmond in reaction to Walker's resignation as chair.
The board hopes to elect a new chairman by Wednesday.
But some parents actively involved in the district want the entire board removed.
"Remove this board," said Betsy Parks. "Replace them with temporary people that can right this ship."
Parks has gathered nearly 1,600 signatures on a petition that urges Governor. Deal to suspend board members. She plans to present them after a hearing at the state board of education on Thursday.
Also Monday, the DeKalb board voted to hire a firm to provide leadership training to them. It is a key concern of SACS.
"I don't have a magic wand," said Thurmond. "We won't address all the challenges that we face but you know it's first step in the long journey back to full accreditation and I'm very excited about that."
On Tuesday, DeKalb County CEO Burrell Ellis will meet with interim DeKalb County Superintendent Michael Thurmond.
They will discuss what actions the school district is taking to come off probation, and how county officials can help.
CBS Atlanta New will have more on this story at 6 p.m.

Mt. Juliet police say they have located the person of interest who approached an 8-year-old girl and reportedly asked her to get into his car.
Officers were called about 3 p.m. Sunday to the 200 block of Ridgeview Preserve Drive, where the girl's mother said a man drove up and began talking with the girl while she was playing outside.
The mom saw the car near her daughter and yelled for the girl to get away from the man. As the man drove away, police said, he yelled to the mom that her daughter did the "right thing."
Police said the man saw the story on the news, realized he was the one they were looking for and then he called police.
After speaking with the man, police said there will not be any criminal charges, and they said the situation was a "misinterpretation of the subject's intentions."
Still, officers said you can never warn your children enough about the importance of avoiding strangers.
"If a child is possibly forced by this person to get in a car or grabbed, then the child needs to do everything he or she can to get away," said Mt. Juliet Police Sgt. Tyler Chandler. "Scream, draw attention to themselves and run away, and definitely talk to an adult."

But Indians are
still tied for 2nd
It wasnŌĆÖt a pretty week for the Colville High School baseball team.
The Indians (4-4, 5-5), despite playing at home the entire week, managed only one win in four games. Colville started the week back on April 10 with a 14-4 loss to Northeast A League-leading Lakeside (7-2) and followed that up one day later with an 8-0 loss to Freeman (2-4).
On Saturday, the Indians managed a split with Newport, losing the opener 7-3 and coming back for a 3-1 win in the second game.
Colville High had no trouble improving its spring fast-pitch softball record to 6-0, 8-2 last week with Northeast A League wins over Freeman, Riverside and Chewelah.
The Indians, winners of five straight and seven of their last nine, started the week back on April 10 with an easy 16-0 drubbing of visiting Freeman at Dean Vaagen Park.
On Wednesday, Colville swept host Riverside 11-0, 12-0. On Saturday, back home at Dean Vaagen Park, CHS rolled to easy 15-1, 11-0 wins over Chewelah.
Moses Lake next April 20-22
The Colville High School Equestrian Club has the opportunity to compete in a variety of classes during their meets.
The team recently competed in their second meet at Wenatchee. Hannah Gormon placed third in Dressage and has the opportunity to advance to State at Lynden in May.
McKenna Iverson placed first; Mikala Harris was second and Brianna Short was fourth in Poles at the last meet.
S-E Sports Editor
Northport High got more solid pitching and timely hitting in a 10-0, 13-3 sweep of Columbia/Inchelium back on April 10.
Josh Konkler and Daulton Burke combined on a one-hitter in the opening game.
The Mustangs took full advantage of walks and hit batters in both games.
ŌĆ£We scattered around 11 hits and used a lot of bases on balls and hit by pitch to have runners on base all day,ŌĆØ NHS head coach Don Baribault said. ŌĆ£We chipped away, but never had that huge inning.
Kettle loses tough outing
at Colfax
Kettle Falls High (3-5, 3-6) got a key outing from junior right-hander Tyler Vining when they needed it last Saturday and the Bulldogs were able to salvage a doubleheader split with league-leading Lind-Ritzville/Sprague at home.
After Kettle Falls dropped a 12-1 decision in the opener to the Broncos, the Bulldogs were able to ride ViningŌĆÖs second sterling outing of the week to a 5-1 win. It was the first win of last weekŌĆÖs four- game set against LRS and perennial 2B power Colfax.
But Indians tested against
The unbeaten Colville High School girlŌĆÖs tennis team faced a rigorous test on Tuesday when ChewelahŌĆÖs upstart tennis team, an upset winner of Lakeside last week in Northeast A League tennis play, visited the defending NEA champion Indians.
Chewelah dropped a narrow 3-2 decision earlier this season to Colville.
ŌĆ£That might prove to be a bit more interesting than I had expected,ŌĆØ CHS head coach Phil Johnson said after Chewelah downed always tough Lakeside. ŌĆ£There wonŌĆÖt be any room for error against them.ŌĆØ
Players sought for
second year league
Bambino Baseball Buddy Ball will embark on its second season in Colville next month.
The league for special needs youngsters got its impetus last spring with seven players. This spring, coordinators Heather and Brandon Judd hope to sign up 15 youngsters for this unique and rewarding program.
The Colville Kiwanis Club-sponsored Little League supports the program and has reserved field space for Bambino Buddy Ball, which is a division of Babe Ruth Baseball.
ChewelahŌĆÖs baseball team finally got to spend some time on the diamond this past week, playing five games since last Monday. So it goes when the early spring has been uncommonly wet and inclement.
Jenkins High School head coach Luke Jeanneret isnŌĆÖt too worried about all the games in a short, quick stretch. Jeanneret figures his pitching is deep enough and able to take the wear and tear so many games can put on a staff.
Indians face
NEA League foes
Colville HighŌĆÖs rapidly improving soccer team will face a pair of Northeast A League opponents this week in games that will go a long way toward determining the league champion and post-season pecking order.
Sure, itŌĆÖs still early in the season, but in a minimalist league like the NEA, the Indians and head coach Dave Rarrick will get a pretty good idea by the weekend what the pecking order might be.
Big match with Lakeside
on Saturday at CHS
Colville HighŌĆÖs defending Northeast A League and District 7 tennis champions, currently leading the NEA race this soggy spring, are back in action this week after being idle over Spring Break.
CHS hosted Deer Park on Tuesday and will entertain Lakeside Saturday in a match-up that will go a long way toward determining this seasonŌĆÖs NEA champion. Lakeside and the Indians battled for the league and district championships last spring.
SaturdayŌĆÖs match on the CHS courts is scheduled for an 11 a.m. start.

Arisaig Provincial Park
5704 Hwy 245
Northumberland Shore
May 17 - October 14
DescriptionArisaig Provincial Park is a small picnic park located near the community of Arisaig, 27 km (17 mi) north of Antigonish in the Northumberland Shore region. Arisaig Provincial Park overlooks the warm waters of the Northumberland Strait and offers a fascinating window to life on earth some 443 to 417 million years ago. One of North America's most continuously exposed sections of Silurian rock, representing 4 million years of earth history, is found here. These sedimentary rocks are rich in fossils and features that have helped geologists interpret the ancient environment of this area. A 1.6 km (1 mi) loop trail provides access to many interesting features. From the interpretive kiosk, the trail winds towards the shore through a forest of white spruce. The shoreline portion includes a viewing platform and several access points to the beach. Another viewing station overlooks Arisaig Brook. From Arisaig Brook, the trail climbs a short but steep hill to the top of a small open field, where it returns to the kiosk along the ridge.

Phoenix police said they believe impairment was a factor in the death of a 61-year-old motorcyclist early Tuesday morning in north Phoenix.
A Phoenix police spokesman said the motorcyclist suffered the fatal injuries after he struck a curb near the intersection of Cactus and Cave Creek roads about 2:30 a.m. and fell from the motorcycle, said Phoenix Police Sgt. Steve Martos.
He was not wearing a helmet, Martos said
The man was riding with a second motorcyclist, who was not hurt.
The intersection was partially closed for the police investigation and was expected to affect the morning rush-hour commute.
Alternate routes include Seventh Street instead of Cave Creek Road and Sweetwater Avenue instead of Cactus Road.

Motlanthe highlights importance of low carbon economy - 5 March 2009
Midrand - President Kgalema Motlanthe has expressed hope that the National Climate Change Conference will through its deliberations draft a national framework which will lead South Africa in becoming a low carbon economy.
The President, addressing the conference on Tuesday, said stakeholders must agree on a policy that would forward the country's response to climate change with the aim of halving South Africa's carbon emissions peak between 2020 and 2025.
"We are duty-bound to define the future response of our nation to this growing challenge of climate change. It is not a surprise that climate change has jumped to the top of government's agenda.
"What is necessary is for comprehensive and concrete global action in order to deal with the growing challenge.
"South Africa is playing a proactive role in the fight against climate change and is active in multinational organisations," the President said.
He added that by the time nations meet at the Copenhagen Climate Change Conference in December 2009, they must have achieved the delicate balance between the needs of developed and developing countries.
Africa is least responsible for climate change, but will pay the highest price for it, Mr Motlanthe said, explaining that the conference was taking place against the backdrop of a global financial crisis.
He said the economic crisis is similar to climate change in that developing countries were not responsible for it but would bare the greatest brunt of its effects and in particular the poor.
"Poor communities are the innocent bystanders in this situation, but we must act and act now. We hope that the summit will draft policies that lead South Africa into a transition to a low carbon economy," Mr Motlanthe said.
Minister of Environmental Affairs and Tourism Marthinus van Schalkwyk similarly told the conference that the world had learnt much about climate change in the last four years.
Previously a number of climate change sceptics disputed the scientific fact that climate change was destroying the environment and the issue of climate change never featured prominently in government discussions, Mr van Schalkwyk highlighted.
Last year, however, China, India, Brazil, as well as South Africa and other countries drafted various white papers, policies and draft regulations to mitigate the effects of climate change.
Minister van Schalkwyk expressed hope that political and public support is mobilised at the Copenhagen Climate Change Conference in December 2009, accompanied by massively upscaled support for policy implementation.

She said the first-grade boys bathroom is "constantly plugged up. It's smelly. It's dirty."
"Our facilities can't handle the overcrowding as some of the other schools can," Mah said.
Mah also said that the school has lunch periods over two hours throughout the school day. She fears what will happen should the school become more crowded.
"Kids are having lunch from 10:45 (a.m.) to 1:30 (p.m.)," Mah said. "Next year, when you have another group of kids, that's probably going to be even earlier and even later."
Mah said teachers are having to become more creative to maintain learning standards for students.
"Our staff and administration is incredible and they bend over backwards and do everything they possibly can to make sure our kids are still doing everything they possibly need," Mah said.
However, Mah said that short term solutions such adding more portable classrooms or more teachers are becoming less of an option as the years go by.
"If we got more teachers, we wouldn't know where to put them," she said. "Getting trailers is something we definitely have to do in the short terms. It is not a long term goal."
First District Councilman Tom Quirk has a personal interest in the overcrowding at Hillcrest. His daughter is a student at the school and his son, now at Catonsville Middle School, previously attended.
"I'm very intimately familiar with the overcrowding problems there," Quirk said.
He said he is doing everything he can, as a parent and an elected official, to get Hillcrest, and Catonsville's other overcrowded elementary schools, help.
"I couldn't agree more with the parents' concerns," he said. "I'm doing everything I can to advocate for them."

2nd Watch, a Seattle-based startup, made a fair amount of noise at the recent AWS re:Invent show in Las Vegas, announcing 2W Atlas, a SaaS application that is deeply integrated with cloud products offered by Amazon Web Services.
The company builds, deploys, and manages AWS-based IT operations for enterprise customers. In particular, 2nd Watch assists customers in evaluating the economics of moving IT operations into AWS; designs and builds highly reliable and scalable AWS-based enterprise IT platforms; and provides software tools and management services that enable enterprises to deploy, manage, and optimize cloud-based IT operation infrastructures.
[ Also on InfoWorld: New Fling installs VMware Tools on nested ESXi virtual machines | Startup Adallom takes on SaaS security challenges | Track the latest trends in virtualization in InfoWorld's Virtualization Report newsletter. ]
Matt Gerber, executive vice president of sales and marketing at 2nd Watch, told InfoWorld that 2W Atlas "is the first solution of its kind to visually harness the robust features of the AWS cloud. Today, IT organizations are asked to deploy infrastructure faster and at a lower cost, but still maintain IT corporate governance standards. 2W Atlas creates a bridge to accomplish these goals through a visual SaaS application that allows IT departments to quickly create, deploy and monitor approved cloud architectures."
The purpose of 2W Atlas is to provide organizations with increased peace of mind when moving to the public cloud. It does this by solving the IT governance and cost management challenges associated with migrating to the cloud, as well as alleviating the complexity of managing enterprise-scale deployments.
"IT departments today lack integrated governance solutions that enable them to combat some of the issues preventing enterprises from moving to the cloud, including data breach risks, unauthorized access to networks and uncontrolled spending," said Gerber. "Furthermore, IT professionals are being asked to deploy cloud infrastructures as quickly and cost effectively as possible. Yet most lack the in-house expertise to build and manage a cloud deployment, let alone do it fast and on budget."
