08/1991 (BGVN 16:08) White plume from Welirang summit
11/1994 (NASA STS66) Steam plume in mid-November seen from space
03/2003 (BGVN 28:03) Thermal alerts indicate possible activity during August-October 2002
08/1991 (BGVN 16:08) White plume from Welirang summit
A plume from the summit area of Welirang . . . was photographed by Space Shuttle astronauts on 13 September at [1535] (photo no. S48-151-064) (figure 1). The dense portion of the apparently ash-poor plume extended roughly 50 km N and more diffuse material continued for another 65 km. The summit area was white and apparently de-vegetated. A plume was observed again on direct video downlink from the spacecraft on [17] September at [1306]. No ground reports were available at press time.
|Figure 1. Space Shuttle photograph showing a steam plume from Welirang (just east of the central cloud mass). Also, the lack of vegetation at the peak indicates volcanic activity. Volcanoes on Java form an E-W line of peaks the length of the island; five are in this image. NASA Photo ID: STS048-151-064, 13 September 1991.

11/94 (NASA STS66) Steam plume in mid-November seen from space
A photograph taken from the Space Shuttle in mid-November 1994 showed a possible steam plume originating from the summit of Arjuno (figure 2).
|Figure 2. This is a striking, oblique view to the south of the Indonesian islands of Java (right), Bali and Lombok (upper left). The linear array of dark regions across the photo is a chain of volcanoes. Plumes of steam can be seen rising from the summits of Arjuno (eastern Java, near the center of the photo) and Merapi (central Java, near the right of the photo). The region appears hazy due to an extended drought over Indonesia, New Guinea, and Australia resulting in huge fires and a regional smoke pall. NASA Photo ID: STS066-154-157. Approximate date: 14 November 1994.

03/2003 (BGVN 28:03) Thermal alerts indicate possible activity during August-October 2002
Thermal alerts detected by MODIS within the 2001-2002 period occurred only during August-October 2002 (figure 3) in the summit area. The first alert occurred on 13 August 2002 when a single alert-pixel had an alert ratio of -0.542. On 10 October the anomaly consisted of two alert-pixels with a maximum alert ratio of -0.409, and on 21 October the anomaly was characterized by six alert-pixels (clustered SW of the summit) with a maximum alert ratio of -0.571.

The Volcanological Survey of Indonesia reported that the volcano was at Status Level I (no activity) in October 2002. No observations were reported, but only distant tectonic earthquakes were detected at the seismograph station.
An explosive eruption took place in the NW part of Gunung Welirang in October 1950, and eruptive activity was reported on the NW flank (Kawah Plupuh) in August 1952. Steam plumes from the summit of Welirang were photographed from space on 13 September 1991 (BGVN 16:08) and in mid-November 1994.

The twin volcanoes of Arjuno and Welirang anchor the SE and NW ends, respectively, of a 6-km-long line of volcanic cones and craters. The Arjuno-Welirang complex overlies two older volcanoes, Gunung Ringgit to the east and Gunung Linting to the south. The summit areas of both volcanoes are unvegetated. Additional pyroclastic cones are located on the north flank of Gunung Welirang and along an E-W-trending line cutting across the southern side of Gunung Arjuno that extends to the lower SE flank. Fumarolic areas with sulfur deposition occur at several locations on Gunung Welirang.

Here's Heidi Klum, looking pleased as punch to spot a pap haunting the perimeters of a children's soccer game. That's her boyfriend/bodyguard Martin Kristen in the blue tee and sunglasses. Heidi is carrying an uber-covetable Reed Krakoff Boxer Tote. Heidi's Boxer seems to have a snakeskin flap – we couldn't find one quite so exotic online, but you can grab a similarly grey version for $1,290 at Saks.
Heidi's designer bag collection is quite extensive, of course, but strangely her edition of "The Many Bags of…" is one of the most uniformly loathed in PB history. Her taste in bags is indeed a tad eclectic, but her most recent bag choices have all been pretty solid – we haven't seen her carrying anything even remotely questionable in the last several months. (And we're watching. We're always watching.)

The Hunger Games: Catching Fire [1] is finally here, and to celebrate, we've been thinking of ways to bring our fanaticism to an entirely different level. What if the Games were happening right now? What if the tributes were our favorite celebrities? We're sharing who we'd sponsor as our own male and female tributes in the Hollywood arena and why our picks have what it takes to be crowned a victor. Find out who would charm up a storm in the Capitol, who would be a master at camouflage, and who might be an expert manipulator inside and outside the Games. Let us know in the comments if you think we missed a star who has what it takes to win. Happy Hollywood Hunger Games, and may the odds be ever in your favorite celebrity's favor!
Christian Bale:
He's shown off an enviable, chiseled physique in movies from The Dark Knight to American Psycho, but Christian Bale is also no stranger to deprivation. Remember how scary skinny he was in The Machinist? With his high tolerance for hunger, obvious capability to focus on an end goal, and the ability to sweetly sing his allies to sleep with a rendition of his Newsies hit "Santa Fe," I think Christian is a shoo-in.
She's tough, quick-witted, and doesn't pull any punches. She's also lasted four decades in the notoriously tough music industry, so in comparison, how hard can the arena really be? Plus, those biceps. Any time I'm suffering through a tough workout, I think to myself: What would Madonna do? Definitely not give up.
— Lindsay Miller, entertainment editor
James Franco:
James Franco is a jack of all trades, and that alone makes him an outstanding candidate for the Games. He's constantly surprising the world with a newfound skill, so I wouldn't be shocked if some of those hidden talents would work in the arena. He's gotten lost in so many different roles before, which means he could charm, terrify, and manipulate others. Plus, it's a proven fact that James Franco never sleeps (except in class), so he could use that extra time to stalk the other tributes or just plan his next move.
Betty White:
Everyone loves Betty White; she's a national treasure. She definitely wouldn't be the most athletic, but she's got the most life experience. Plus, no one would be able to kill Betty White and face themselves again the next day.
— Becky Kirsch, director of entertainment
Matthew McConaughey: Alright, alright, alright. You can't kill Matthew McConaughey. It's impossible. That is all.
Chloë Moretz:
Are you KIDDING me? Not only does Chloë have amazing skills as a fighter, as honed in Kick-Ass, she is also superscary. She has the added bonus of being cute as a button, so she could really make people think she's weak and feeble before snapping their necks. CGM FTW.
— Maggie Pehanick, assistant entertainment editor
Mark Wahlberg [2]:
Mark Wahlberg is so buff (did you see Pain & Gain?!), He'd take out the other tributes with sheer muscle, and he'd do it all with a Boston accent. Oh wait, did I mention he's been to prison? And then totally turned his life around? Talk about rising up in the face of adversity. The arena has nothing on Mark.
Gwyneth Paltrow [3]:
If two-hour daily sweat sessions with Tracy Anderson aren't enough to give Gwyneth Paltrow the strength and endurance to go the distance in the arena, I don't know what is. Add to that her cooking skills (the cornucopia has gluten-free options, right?), friendly smile (the better to make allies with), and pension for detox diets (no food for days? no problem!), and you've got a winning combination.
— Lauren Turner, celebrity news editor
Will Smith:
Not only is Will Smith still a superbuff action star, but likeabilty is an important part of playing The Hunger Games. Who doesn't like Will Smith? And if we know anything from his Fresh Prince days, Will can smooth talk his way out of any sticky situation.
Kristen Stewart:
Kristen Stewart may not be known for hitting the gym, but she's one tough cookie, and she did get to show off some fight moves in Snow White and the Huntsman. Plus, her loyal fans around the world would be sure to send her sponsor gifts whenever she was in trouble.
— Molly Goodson, vice president of content
Channing Tatum:
Obviously Channing Tatum would win in the Games; he can pretty much do anything. He has the charming personality to win over possible allies, the muscles to succeed in any physical challenge, and most importantly, the dance moves to mesmerize and confuse opponents.
Emilia Clarke:
She may be beautiful, but Emilia Clarke has proven that she can also be fierce as Game of Thrones heroine Daenerys Targaryen, aka the Mother of Dragons. As strong as she may be, she also has that look where she could be kind of weak. So watch out, because she'll get you after you underestimate her. That's a proven strategy in the arena!
— Shannon Vestal, entertainment editor
Matt Damon:
He's older, wiser, and after playing Jason Bourne could clearly outsmart any of these younger tributes. Plus, he was a genius in Good Will Hunting, a con artist in The Talented Mr. Ripley, a poker pro in Rounders, and a thief in Oceans Eleven. Each role has basically prepared him for winning the Games. Also, have you seen his arms lately? Clearly he's gearing up for something big. Might as well throw him into the arena and see what happens.
Nina Dobrev:
She's a devoted yoga fanatic, which helps mold her perfect body into an ass-kicking machine on The Vampire Diaries. Before becoming an actress she was a gymnast — a perfect talent for a tribute. She has great hair, which would look amazing in a side braid. Plus, she's already proven with her hardcore fanbase that she could start a revolution.
— Lisa Sugar, editor in chief
Hugh Jackman:
Not only is Hugh Jackman capable of surviving the physical demands of The Hunger Games (he is the Wolverine, after all) he also has that special something else: charisma. He would be able to charm his enemies intro trusting him with his Aussie accent before he went in for the kill. Plus, who on Earth would ever want to kill Hugh Jackman?
Scarlett Johansson:
Sure, she may not be an obvious choice, but Scarlett is in top physical form thanks to hours on the set of the Marvel films playing the Black Widow. If she can kick superheroes' butts, she can take on a couple of tributes without batting an eyelash. Plus, don't underestimate Scarlett's seductive charm — she would be able to convince both men and women to join her alliance with one raspy joke.
— Maria Mercedes Lara, associate editor
Justin Timberlake:
Justin Timberlake, aka actor/singer/dancer/superhero, seems to be able to do just about anything. (Even Ben Affleck thinks so [4]!) Plus, based on his crazy-busy year, Justin's definitely got the endurance. Even better? His boy-band background proves that Justin works well on a team — but he obviously wouldn't be afraid to handle things solo and strike out on his own, either.
Emma Watson:
Emma Watson could really throw off her competitors — she's sweet and nice and seems like she wouldn't be a threat, but based on her This Is the End cameo, she can totally turn up the crazy . . . and wield an axe. Emma's years of plotting and scheming on screen as Hermione would pay off, too, and that British charm means she'd win over viewers along the way.
— Laura Marie Meyers, assistant news editor
Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson:
They call him The Rock for a reason, you know. Dwayne Johnson will trump the competition thanks to his brute strength, massive muscles, and winning grin (and eyebrows). He'll be the first guy that fellow tributes will want start an alliance with, because he can pick you up and carry you when you're weak and keep you warm during those cold nights in the cave; I would seriously just let him wrap me in cloth and carry me like an adult Baby Bjorn.
Lady Gaga:
The art of disguise will be Gaga's biggest strength in the Games — nobody will ever know where she is, because she can so easily blend into the trees, dirt, or jungle with her crazy costumes. Whether she smears herself with blood, makes a bikini out of shells, or just wears all of her weapons like a weird metal dress, Lady Gaga will succeed at not only being more creative than her fellow tributes but totally creeping them out, too.
— Britt Stephens, assistant entertainment editor
Henry Cavill:
Everyone knows Henry Cavill as the Man of Steel, but few people also forget that he trained hard to be Theseus in Immortals. He was chosen by Zeus to fight against evil. If you layer that on top of his British charm and superhero charisma, it's hard to imagine a situation in which he wouldn't rise to the top.
Angelina Jolie:
Where do I even begin with Angelina Jolie? On screen, she's played Lara Croft, double agent Evelyn Salt, undercover assassin Jane Smith, Grendel's mother, and now evil queen of darkness Maleficent. That means she has expert combat training, a masterful grasp on silent espionage, and she can turn into a dragon twice over. Off screen, she's married to Brad Pitt [5]. Any questions?
— Ryan Roschke, editorial assistant
Tom Hanks:
Everybody loves Tom Hanks. He seems trustworthy, and he'll make you laugh; all good reasons to keep him around in the arena. Based on his film résumé, he's also trained for some pretty intense experiences, including spending hours in a enclosed life boat with pirates in Captain Phillips and learning to survive all by himself in Castaway.
Kerry Washington:
Before fighting to the death, Kerry Washington could train with her professional football-playing husband Nnamdi Asomugha. You know she'd be in good shape. And if she's learned anything from Scandal's Olivia Pope about manipulating people to get out of an impossible situation, she could be the last tribute standing.
— Annie Gabillet, news editor

BURLINGTON, Massachusetts, November 6, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --
Attunity Ltd. (NASDAQ: ATTU), a leading provider of information availability software solutions, announced today the release of Attunity Managed File Transfer (MFT) for Hadoop. The new generation enterprise data transfer solution is designed to accelerate Big Data collection processes and integrate them seamlessly into and out of Hadoop, the open-source programming framework for large-scale data processing. Building on the proven and enterprise-scale capabilities of Attunity MFT, the solution empowers organizations to collect and transfer Big Data in both the cloud and enterprise data centers for strategic initiatives including log and machine-data analytics, business intelligence (BI), and data archiving.
As volumes of business data continue to increase, organizations are adopting Hadoop to store, manage, and process Big Data. However, like other Big Data projects, IT organizations are struggling to efficiently and effectively move the data for BI and analytics. Similarly, organizations that are seeing Hadoop as a lower cost alternative for archiving run into the same Big Data movement challenges.
Attunity MFT for Hadoop is designed to overcome the Big Data bottleneck by providing an enterprise-scale gateway to the Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS), a distributed file system that enables scalable storage and processing of "internet-scale" Big Data. The Attunity solution facilitates the process of transferring data to HDFS by providing robust capabilities including automation, scheduling, security, and auditing. Seamlessly integrated with HDFS, Attunity MFT for Hadoop enables moving data into and out of Hadoop in either batch or real time.
Attunity MFT for Hadoop features:
- Enterprise-scale automation and scheduling for IT processes that collect and transfer data into HDFS, with advanced dashboards and notifications to monitor and control data transfer
- Support for many sources of data including enterprise as well as cloud files systems, web protocols like HTTP/S and S/FTP, email, and desktop
- Support for any Hadoop distribution based on standard HDFS 1.0 or higher, such as those by Apache, HortonWorks and Cloudera
- Web Services API for seamless integration with enterprise business platforms (ie. ERP, BPM, & CRM)
- Multi-stage processing of the data being transferred with extensive security configuration options to meet the needs of highly regulated industries
"Hadoop has quickly become the platform of choice for storing, managing and analyzing big data. We are pleased with the Attunity MFT solution that addresses the challenges that enterprises face with large volumes of data and a variety of sources and formats," said Mitch Ferguson, vice president of business development at Hortonworks, a leading commercial vendor of Apache Hadoop. "Our goal is to make Apache Hadoop become the next generation data platform. Our partnership with Attunity helps bring an enterprise solution to market that facilitates the adoption of Hadoop."
"Enterprises that leverage Big Data gain greater insight into their customers, operations, and business environments," explained Matt Benati, VP Global Marketing at Attunity. "Attunity MFT for Hadoop, the first of several Hadoop solutions that Attunity will unveil, is designed to deliver on the great promise of Hadoop by helping organizations achieve faster time-to-value for Big Data analytics projects. With the release of Attunity MFT for Hadoop, Attunity is able to increase its addressable market, provide broader options for customers, and help companies harness the power of Big Data to drive new insights and deliver competitive advantage."

We are reaching the end of the beginning with WebRTC and real systems using this technology have begun to appear. One challenge that faces every WebRTC deployment (in some form or another) is identity management. For example, if you have an existing service – possibly built on a variety of different PaaS/SaaS offerings – and you want to add real-time communications you are faced with a challenge relating to user management, authentication, authorization, and validation. Service providers will want to use their existing identities, but these will have credentials already that are (hopefully) ir...

Time for the next installment in Peace & Glove's ongoing "5 tweets with …" series!
Pitcher Seth Harvey was selected by the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim in the 43rd round of the 2009 amateur draft. Lucky for Brewers fans, Seth declined their offer and returned to Washington State University for his senior season.
I didn't ask Seth what his motivation was for returning to college for another year, but assume it was because the Angels play in what is usually referred to as the "Junior Circuit" because, other than during interleague play and postseason games played in National League parks, pitchers never have to pick up a bat.
Seth Harvey had a remarkable high school career that included winning an all-state awards in Washington as a pitcher and a second-team award as an infielder. He batted over .370 during his junior season and, as a senior, hit a cool .400 as he led his team to a Pac-9 championship and a fifth-place finish at the state tournament. Oh, he also finished with a 1.50 ERA that year.
The Milwaukee Brewers selected the 6-foot-3 right-hander in the 39th round of the 2010 amateur draft. Seth spent the last part of 2010 playing rookie ball in Arizona and all of 2011 playing rookie ball at the Brewers affiliate in Helena, Mont.
He began 2012 in America's Dairyland, playing for the Wisconsin Timber Rattlers in Appleton. In 22 games with the T-Rats, Seth compiled a 4-0 record with a 2.24 ERA and also had 13 saves. Those numbers prompted a promotion to the Crew's high-A affiliate, the Brevard County (Fla.) Manatees.
Seth pitched in 16 games for the Manatees, going 3-0 with a 3.24 ERA. Between both leagues he finished with an outstanding win-loss record of 7-0, a 2.96 ERA, and finished off 24 games.
I tweeted at Seth to ask if he would be interested in helping me out, and he replied almost immediately that he would be more than happy to help. It never ceases to amaze me that these professional ballplayers are so willing to give their time to answer a few questions. You can follow him on Twitter at @MrSethHarvey.
Introducing Milwaukee Brewers right-hander, Mr. Seth Harvey…
TT: So what do you keep busy with in the off-season? Do you go home to WA?
SH: I do go home to Washington, to the capital city of Olympia. I enjoy the climate, as wet as it may be! To keep busy, I run clinics and individual lessons at On Deck Performance, a facility I work at. I also like to play soccer and get outdoors as often as I can.
TT: Awesome. Nice job with the 7-0 this year! Any coincidence you started the season in the land of the cheese? The BEST cheese?
SH: Thank you. It was a very fun year, and I was fortunate enough to play with a great group of guys in Wisconsin and Florida. Those wins are a direct reflection of an entire team effort and a culmination of teamwork and an expectancy to be great. I have to admit, the cheese was awesome in Wisconsin. I bug my host family to send some every now and then!
TT: Haha. We love our cheese. So what's the coolest thing to happen to you since being drafted?
SH: Tough question, because two things immediately come to mind. The first is when I was selected to represent the Western Division in the Midwest League All Star Game. The second, and I feel more rewarding, was watching the Timber Rattlers win the championship! Although I wasn't there, I was stoked for the team and the town, and happy that I could contribute in bringing a title to Appleton.
TT: I've got family in Appleton, they appreciate your efforts! Any idea where you may be starting the season?
SH: I do not have an idea where I may be starting, but I do have goals to where I want to be and plan to work hard and perform at a high level come spring in an effort to reach those goals. Control what you can control.
TT: Right on. You and Tommy Toledo had similar timelines this season. You guys get into any Words With Friends battles?
SH: Tommy is one of my very close friends so I was stoked to see him make the move to Florida with me after Wisconsin. We reserved the battles for XBOX 360 and FIFA 13. We both love that game and get pretty competitive in that!
TT: So who kicks whose tail?
SH: It's a toss up, but I think we'll have to crown a kind of FIFA 13 come Spring Training, LOL!
TT: Nice. You had some saves this year, too. Is the end goal to finish big-league games?
SH: I think it would be awesome to be in a position to close out games in the big leagues, but my goal right now is to be as versatile as possible and perform my best in any role asked of me.
TT: Good attitude. What's in your pitching repertoire?
SH: I throw a fastball, 4 seam and 2 seam, along with a change-up and a slider. I've been working hard on developing a cut fastball for this year and plan to have it dialed in for spring.
TT: Sounds like you're focused on what needs to be done with the right attitude along the way. I won't bother you any more plus I need to whip my son in Madden! Thank you for your time! I'll tweet you when I get this posted! Kick some ass this year, man!
SH: Thanks Tim! Had a great time. Wish you all the best in the new year!

The high cost of worrying about money
A new survey reveals that a lot of workers spend a good portion of their day too worried about finances to be productive.
This post comes from Kimberly Palmer at partner site U.S. News & World Report.
If money worries are getting you down, you might want to figure out how to release some of that tension. A new survey suggests that financial worries eat up a substantial portion of one's day -- and that, in turn, can be a costly distraction from work.
In a survey of more than 1,000 people, the McGraw Hill Federal Credit Union found that 36% of respondents said they spend at least two hours a day either worrying about their finances or handling them. (The survey took place in the spring just before taxes were due, which might account for such a large portion of the day spent on money matters.)
That's a lot of time to spend worrying while at work. And it comes on the heels of another study, "Stressed at Work," from Bensinger, DuPont & Associates, an employee-assistance program provider, that suggests almost half of workers are so stressed out that it interferes with their ability to get their jobs done. About 44% of male respondents and 49% of female respondents said they had "difficulty concentrating" as a result of "personal problems and stress." Meanwhile, Gallup's 2013 State of the American Workplace report finds that seven in 10 workers are not engaged with their work.
Employers might want to take note: According to "Stressed at Work," stress costs American businesses around $300 billion every year, with about half of American workers saying they are less productive as a result of stress. Bensinger, DuPont & Associates urges employers to consider offering their employees wellness programs to help them manage stress.
The Gallup report comes to a similar conclusion: Companies that boost workers' well-being see higher productivity levels as well as lower medical costs. Helpful benefits include health-related ones, such as access to healthy snacks and exercise equipment, as well as financial ones, such as 401k's.
Shawn Gilfedder, the president and chief executive of the McGraw-Hill Federal Credit Union, says helping people get on top of their finances can go a long way toward relieving some of that daily pressure they feel, which in turn lets them focus during the workday.
"So many people go about their lives living paycheck to paycheck, and they don't have a plan in place. They don't have a simple budget," Gilfedder says. The problem is compounded by the fact that consumers easily spend money they don't even have. "When I grew up, you dove into dad's wallet, and that was the entertainment budget. In today's electronic world, (money) is intangible," he says. That makes it harder for families to plan out their spending and stay within limits.
Employers, he says, can help lower the stress levels of their employees by helping educate them about finances. Even simple steps, such as helping them organize or pay off debt, avoid credit card fees or get all of their financial accounts organized, can go a long way, he says.
Gilfedder says employers should think of financial wellness just as they do physical fitness. "If (employers) give you $40 a month and you go to the gym, you're a lower health risk for their plans. Why not do the same thing on the financial side?" he asks. People with personal trainers are more likely to show up at the gym, he adds, just as people with financial planners can be more motivated to stick to their financial goals.
For stressed-out employees, Gilfedder has some words of wisdom, too: "The first thing you have to do is not panic," he says. The best approach varies by person. Shortly after he met his wife, for example, she showed him a block of ice in the freezer that held her credit cards. She called it her "debt management system."
"Not everyone will do that, and that's why it's important to have resources in place to help you live a healthy financial life," Gilfedder says. Those resources can include an online management system such as Mint.com, which members of his credit union have access to through their accounts. The aggregation tool lets them put all of their financial information in one place, he says. Certified financial planners and counselors can also help.
While getting on top of finances helps relieve daily stress, the bigger payoff comes when something unexpected -- a car accident, health scare or other negative event -- threatens to throw everything off course. "Without a plan, when life happens, it becomes that much more insurmountable," Gilfedder says. "It pays dividends when things are going well, and it really pays dividends when things are not going well."

I know many of our money worries would be solved if the breadwinner's salary were commiserate to the breadwinner's Master Mechanic status. But, why would a multinational billion dollar company want to pay its Master Mechanics enough to support even a small family with an affordable at the time it was purchased mortgages?
Why indeed allow the person working to keep the big trucks safe on the road, the one person who when he signs the VCR the driver KNOWS the truck is fixed...why pay that person enough to not have to worry about the house going into foreclosure...which it is...
But, it is the worker's fault isn't it...not the company that hires them and them pays them half-wages because it is assumed the family will not bother with a stay at home parent and have both parents working for half-wages...it is all the worker's fault.

The 2009 Ladera Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon produced a fruit-driven wine with an intense nose and flavors, great texture and seamless balance. Aromas of ripe plum and black cherries are complemented by notes of cedar and anise. The palate is layered with black fruits, sweet oak spice and ripe tannins that linger to a long velvety finish.
Ladera Vineyards is located in the Howell Mountain appellation of the Napa Valley at an elevation of 1800 feet.

Stephanie Seaborn had a game-high 21 points, with all her points coming from beyond the 3-point arc as she hit 7-of-14. Jennifer Hamson added 19 points along with 13 boards for the game's lone double-double. Kim Beeston added 13 points.
Loyola Marymount's Alex Cowling, the WCC's all-time leading scorer, ended her stellar career Friday scoring a team-high 17 points for the Lions.
The Bulldogs earned wins against BYU in both regular-season contests this season; a 74-59 victory in the McCarthey Athletic Center, Jan. 17 and a 66-55 win in Provo, Utah, Feb. 23. Gonzaga was led in those two wins by Sunny Greinacher and Taelor Karr. Greinacher averaged 13.5 points and 4.0 rebounds, while shooting 50.0 percent (11-of-22) from the floor in the two games, while Karr averaged 12.5 points, 5.0 assists and 4.0 rebounds, while also shooting 50.0 percent (10-of-20) from the field.
Last season, the Cougars - the No. 2 seed, defeated the No. 1 Zags in the championship game of the WCC Tournament by the score of 78-66.
Gonzaga leads the all-time series 6-5 and has won 2-straight.
The Bulldogs game can be seen on BYUtv or online at www.BYUtv.org. Fans can also listen to the game on 1050 AM.

Trade-off between formal and informal care in Spain
AbstractThe remarkable growth of older population has moved long term care to the front ranks of the social policy agenda. Understanding the factors that determine the type and amount of formal care is important for predicting use in the future and developing long-term policy. In this context we jointly analyze the choice of care (formal, informal, both together or none) as well as the number of hours of care received. Given that the number of hours of care is not independent of the type of care received, we estimate, for the first time in this area of research, a sample selection model with the particularity that the first step is a multinomial logit model. With regard to the debate about complementarity or substitutability between formal and informal care, our results indicate that formal care acts as a reinforcement of the family care in certain cases: for very old care receivers, in those cases in which the individual has multiple disabilities, when many care hours are provided, and in case of mental illness and/or dementia. There exist substantial differences in long term care addressed to younger and older dependent people and dependent women are in risk of becoming more vulnerable to the shortage of informal caregivers in the future. Finally, we have documented that there are great disparities in the availability of public social care across regions.

The last time every Muhlenberg team was on the road, two weekends ago, it turned out to be a very successful day, with the Mules going 5-1 at McDaniel. How will the road trips go tomorrow? Here's a short preview:
Men's Soccer at Haverford (Saturday, 1:00)
The Mules (5-2, 2-1) look to bounce back from last night's home loss to Swarthmore with a game against defending Centennial Conference runner-up Haverford (5-4, 2-1). The teams are currently tied for second place in the CC, just a point behind Swarthmore and Dickinson. Haverford's lone CC loss was to Johns Hopkins, a team Muhlenberg beat.
The series has been one-sided since the start of CC play, with the Mules winning 17 of 19 meetings. The Fords' lone series win during that span came in 2001 (the 1998 game ended in a tie). Muhlenberg won 2-0 last year.
Live stats: http://www.haverford.edu/athletics_stats/soccerm/statslive/xlive.htm
Live video: http://client.stretchinternet.com/client/haverford.portal
Cross Country at Dickinson Long/Short Invitational
It will be the biggest meet of the season to date for both Mule teams, who took first place at Cedar Crest last week. The women, ranked seventh in the region, will compete against two of the teams ranked ahead of them – Dickinson (2) and Elizabethtown (6).
Results: http://www.motiontiming.com/node/85
Field Hockey at Dickinson (Saturday, 11:00)
Both of these teams were 5-12 last year. The Mules (5-3, 1-2) have already matched their 2011 win total, and the Red Devils (4-5, 0-3) are just one away. All five of Muhlenberg's wins are by one goal, two in overtime, and Dickinson has played a pair of overtime games. Last year the teams played a wild game that came down to the final seconds, with the Mules holding on for a 4-3 win.
Volleyball at Dickinson (Saturday, 11:30)
Muhlenberg (8-5, 1-2) is looking to get back on the winning track after dropping back-to-back CC matches to Haverford and Johns Hopkins last week. Dickinson (1-11, 0-3) has lost seven straight. The Mules have not won in Carlisle since 2001 but took last year's meeting at home, 3-1.
Football at Susquehanna (Saturday, 1:00)
Muhlenberg (3-1, 2-1) looks to bounce back from its first loss of the season, last week to Johns Hopkins, against a Susquehanna team that, although winless in the Centennial Conference, is still dangerous. The Crusaders (1-3, 0-3) led undefeated Gettysburg in the fourth quarter last week and lead the CC with a plus-8 turnover margin. The Mules are plus-5 themselves and have not turned the ball over in their last 10 quarters.
Muhlenberg leads the series, 11-9, and has won both meetings since Susquehanna joined the CC for football. The Mules travel well, especially on defense – they've allowed one touchdown or fewer in five of their last eight road games.

Women's Soccer at Dickinson, 5:00
This will be Muhlenberg's fifth game against an opponent ranked in the top 10 in the region. The Mules (3-6-1, 1-2) beat Johns Hopkins (3t), lost to Messiah (1) by three and suffered one-goal losses to Haverford (3t) and Wilkes (9t). Dickinson (6-2, 1-1), ranked sixth in the region, also lost 1-0 to Haverford and is coming off a 2-0 loss to Messiah. The Red Devils have won the last five series meetings, the last two by a final of 1-0.
Men's Tennis at ITA Southeast Regional (Saturday-Sunday); Women's Golf at Gettysburg Fall Invitational (Saturday)
Men's tennis concludes its fall season; women's golf plays the second of its three scheduled fall matches.

This thesis investigates the electrochemical performance of flexible implanted electrodes for the purpose of neuromuscular electrical stimulation. Electrodes performance is validated through their conductivity, stability, and charge delivery capacity (CDC) to avoid irreversible faradaic reactions during stimulation. To study these requirements, electrodes were fabricated by depositing platinum (Pt), gold (Au) and titanium (Ti) thin films on the flexible liquid crystal polymer (LCP) substrate. Their electrochemical properties were then studied using surface and interface characterization techniques including atomic force microscopy (AFM), electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), cyclic voltammetry (CV) and a theoretical model. The EIS results demonstrate that larger electrodes provide higher conductivity and double layer capacitance. In terms of material, Pt offers the best conductivity in neuromuscular stimulation frequencies of 1- 250 Hz, followed by Ti and Au, respectively. Above 250 Hz, similar values of conductivity is offered by the electrodes. This material dependence of impedance magnitude is related to the surface morphology, structural quality and deposition parameters of the electrodes and is explained using surface roughness measurements and interface model parameters. Electrode long-term stability is explored by regular EIS measurements through 42-day experiments. With progressing time, an increase in surface roughness, decrease in chargetransfer resistance (Rct) and capacitive quality (¯) are observed due to the change in capacitive and faradaic behaviors. However, in the comparative evaluations, Au electrode shows the most consistency in keeping its capacitive behavior to perform reversible charge transfer, followed by Pt and Ti, respectively. Further, cyclic voltammetry (CV) curves were used to understand the charge transfer reactions and calculate charge delivery capacities (CDC) of Pt, Ti and Au. Pt with highest CDC value suggests the best electrochemical reversibility followed by Au and Ti. In the case of deposition pressure, for Ti electrode, lower deposition pressure yields higher charge delivery capacity. These results may make lower pressure deposited Pt electrode with high conductivity and CDC the best material for the short term applications of neuromuscular electrical stimulation, while Au possessing improved stability but lower conductivity and CDC is suggested for long term applications. This result provides deeper insight into the design and miniaturization of electrochemical electrodes for the further development of neuromuscular prostheses.

The Deming Family Scholarship Winner
Pictured left to right: Mary E. Larew, Anastasia Dolak, and Larry Deming
The Danbury Music Centre has awarded its Deming Family Scholarship to Anastasia Dolak, who is a Violin Performance Major at The Juilliard School in New York City. The scholarship is for $1,000. Ms. Dolak was awarded the Deming Family Scholarship by the new DMC Executive Director, Mary E. Larew, and Larry Deming, son of Danbury resident Mary Deming and the late Robert Deming.
Ms. Dolak graduated from New Fairfield High School in 2012 and is now a Junior at The Juilliard School where she is studying violin with Glenn Dicterow, the concert master of the New York Philharmonic. She recently performed in a benefit concert at Carnegie Hall with members of the New York Philharmonic, the New York Metropolitan Opera Orchestra, and the Los Angeles Philharmonic. This summer Ms. Dolak will be a fellow at the Music Academy of the West in Santa Barbara, CA.
In her scholarship application, Ms. Dolak wrote, "It is hard to express in words the love I have for what I do. Music has the undeniable power to stir emotion, create unbelievable beauty, tell stories without words, and bring people from all over the world together to create something so pure and inexpressibly magical."
The Deming family has made this scholarship available since early 2000 in appreciation of the many musical opportunities the Danbury Music Centre provides for the community. The Deming Family Scholarship is awarded each summer to a student or students from the greater Danbury area attending an accredited college or university for advanced study in music.
For information about the next round of scholarships, contact the DMC office.

Mary is thrilled to join the Danbury Music Centre at this exciting juncture in its rich history, and very much looks forward to getting to know the whole community through music-making and conversation.
Nancy Sudik Retires
From Our Board President
Dear Friends,With great regret the Board of Directors of the Danbury Music Centre announces that Executive Director Nancy F. Sudik will be retiring from her position effective June 2014.
Nancy was named Executive Director in 1984 and we owe her a huge debt of gratitude for her 30 years of dedication. She has been an exceptional leader who has overseen the growth and development of our organization. She has worked enthusiastically and tirelessly to raise the level of excellence of our programs.
Nancy says,
"There is a time for everything and it's time to turn over the reins of Executive Director to someone else. It has been an amazing 30-year journey and I would do it all over again, but a 30 year commitment is plenty long and there are still many things I'd like to do – join a literary club, walk dogs at the dog pound, study Latin, garden, practice, learn the bagpipes, clean the house – and much more.
We will miss Nancy's guidance and expertise and we wish her many happy years of retirement.
Laura Flachbart
A Letter to the Editor in the Danbury News-Times
The obvious enthusiasm and skill of the orchestra and chorale in response to their leaders was perfect.
There was also a special performance by the emeritus director of the symphony, James Humphreville, and African drummer Ase-AmenRa Kariamu, which added to the enjoyment of the afternoon.
Our community is fortunate to have this outstanding group of artists perform several times a year. There is no charge to attend the performances and donations are accepted.
Kudos to all and thank you.
Judy Dougherty
A Letter to the Editor in the Danbury News-Times
If you were in the vicinity of downtown Danbury at precisely 10 p.m. on Dec. 21, that loud noise you heard was the thunderous applause accompanying the standing ovation being given to the Danbury Music Centre's annual production of 'Messiah.' And well deserved, it was.
The location of this year's performance was at First Congregational Church on Deer Hill Avenue, a departure from its usual venue of St. Peter Church.
No matter ... the smaller accommodations seemed somehow to only magnify the beauty of the production. I imagined Handel himself, smiling down on all in attendance and nodding in approval at the magnificent voices and the soaring orchestral sounds.
And who better to conduct this masterpiece than Richard Price. With his baton, he brings vibrancy, emotion and great joy to the performance. It is obvious that this gifted man enjoys "Messiah" and that all those under his baton respect and admire him. Danbury is privileged to have him.
If "Messiah" doesn't reveal to you the true meaning of Christmas, then I don't know what it would take. My husband and I have enjoyed attending virtually every performance over the past 30 years. It is one of the true highlights of our Christmas season.
Kudos to all — Mr. Price, the soloists, the Danbury Concert Chorus and the Baroque Chamber Orchestra. And Merry Christmas to all.Margaret Piela

Devils Beat Rangers in OT posted by Richard Kagan
New Jersey beat the NY Rangers in game 6 in OT to oust the Rangers from the Eastern Conference Finals. I live in NY and follow hockey and admit I was rooting for the Devils to prevail 3-2. They did when rookie Adam Henrique scored early in OT to send New Jersey in the Finals, the fourth with Martin Brodeur as goalie. Brodeur is on his way to the Hall of Fame when his career ends, and it is fitting that he reaches the Finals to try to go out on top.
Offensively, the Rangers are challenged. They have a great goalie in Henrik Lunqvist, who literally, carries this team on his back, every game. The Rangers just don't have the firepower. You can't win the Cup when you score 2-3 goals a game. It's just not going to happen. You have to put the puck in the net and give your goalie a night off, so to speak. Let the wingers or centers be accountable. NY had a great run. The Devils are the better team.Continue reading "Devils Beat Rangers in OT"

The Cracker Barrel: New York, New York
Every sixty years or so I get around to visiting New York.
The first time was back in 1953. The second time was last week.
Both times I happened to visit several interesting places, and cross paths with celebrities. And both times I was glad to get back home.
