The road, in particular a season-opening nine-game road trip, was thought by many to be the Rangers' early season nemesis, but as New York (10-11-0, 20 pts) begins a stretch of five straight away from Madison Square Garden Thursday night against the Dallas Stars (11-7-2, 24 pts) it has become clear that the team has embraced the challenges of winning on the road and has achieved some of its more impressive successes so far in enemy territory. With stops in Dallas, Nashville, Tampa, Florida, and Boston awaiting over the next nine days, the Rangers are riding a four-game winning streak on the road and have played .500 hockey (6-6-0) away from home ice.
The Rangers did lose four of their first five, and six of their first eight, road contests this season, and were embarrassed by their play out in San Jose and Anaheim, but they turned things around with a 3-2 overtime win over the Red Wings out in Detroit on October 26th—and have since followed with road victories on Long Island three nights later, in Columbus two weeks ago, and in Montreal last Saturday.
While each of those road wins was impressive in their own right, the ones in Detroit and Montreal stand out due to the tenacious, near-desperate, effort exhibited by the Rangers as the visiting team. Of course the fact that the Rangers had not won in Montreal since the 2008-09 season makes that 1-0 victory Saturday step to the forefront, as well.
Their six road wins are tied for most among all Eastern Conference teams; and the Rangers' road success hopefully marks a return to how it played away from The Garden the three seasons prior to last year. Beginning in 2009-10 the Rangers won 20, 24, and 24 games on the road, and in 2011-12 the team owned a 24-12-5 road mark, good for a franchise-record 53 points away from MSG. Last season, though, the Rangers slipped to 10-12-2 on the road during the lockout-shortened campaign.
Despite their recent road success, the Rangers begin this road trip having lost three of their last four games overall—with all three losses coming on home ice where the Blueshirts are just 4-5-0 on the season. The main reason for the lack of wins the past week or so is an inability to score. The Rangers have scored just four goals in their last four games, none at even strength in their past three. Each of their last two goals---one in Tuesday's 2-1 defeat to the Bruins and the other in Saturday's 1-0 victory over the Canadiens---have come on the power play. However in the last four games the Rangers have poured 35, 33, 37, and 44 shots on goal—outshooting and outchancing the opposition each game by a wide-margin, just without the reward of actually finishing their chances.
However as Brad Richards pointed out Wednesday after practice, earlier in the season the Rangers were having troubles scoring AND generating scoring opportunities. Now their overall games is quite good at both ends of the ice, they are just not putting the puck in the net. Richards, Ryan Callahan, and Alain Vigneault are among those the past few days who have pointed out that as long as the team is playing this way and this well, the goals---and more wins---will come.
Vigneault said Wednesday that Michael Del Zotto will return to the lineup Thursday night in Dallas. Del Zotto, who has not displayed much consistency in his game according to the head coach, was scratched the previous three contests, with Vigneault hoping a fire is ignited in the 23 year-old defenseman similar to what happened when Mats Zuccarello was scratched earlier in the season. Del Zotto, who is 1-3-4 in 16 games, will take the place of either Justin Falk---who played the last three games after being scratched 11 in a row, or John Moore—who is 1-2-3 while playing in all 21 games to date this year.
Dallas comes off a perfect 3-0-0 road trip, and has won six of its last seven games overall, though interestingly they are winless in their last three contests at American Airlines Center (0-1-2). The Stars last win on home ice was a 5-1 victory over the Calgary Flames on October 24th, and Dallas is just 3-2-2 at home so far this season.
Impressive rookie Alex Chiasson may be forced to miss Thursday's game for the Stars. Chiasson was struck in the face with a puck during practice Wednesday. Head coach Lindy Ruff, in his first year with Dallas after his long run as coach of the Buffalo Sabres, said afterwards he was concerned about Chiasson, but did not have an update on his condition. Chiasson has had a terrifc rookie campaign so far, tied for third among all NHL first year players with 12 points (5-7-12) in 20 games.
Veteran Ray Whitney, who has been out injured the past three games, did practice on Wednesday and Ruff said he will be a game time decision against the Rangers. The 41 year-old Whitney, who has 1,040 points in 1,278 career games, has scored only one goal in 17 games played this season.
Henrik Lundqvist, 3-3-0 with a 1.99 career GAA against Dallas, is expected to face Kari Lehtonen in quite the goaltending matchup on Thursday night.

Sidestep the Sniffles
By Matthew Solan
All too often, the return of autumn means another round of nagging colds and flus. Don't want to spend the next six months wrapped in a cocoon of blankets, downing hold-your-nose cough syrup and mystery capsules? Forget about starving the cold and feeding the fever, and follow the lead from three healing methods—ayurveda, naturopathy, and traditional Chinese medicine. Their safe and effective remedies can stop a sickness at first sniffle or throat tickle and have you back in action before the Kleenex boxes pile up.
The centuries-old Indian healing practice of ayurveda views colds and flus as signs of dosha imbalance—in Western terms, when your biological energy or constitution goes haywire. These maladies strike more often in autumn and winter because both seasons increase vata, the dosha associated with wind and cooler weather. Ayurvedic practitioners believe the change from hot to cold weather weakens our digestive fire or agni and, with it, our immune system, leaving our body with an excess of toxins called ama (that filmy, white gunk coating your tongue). This "sticky" environment makes the body more susceptible to illness-causing viruses.
As if that weren't enough, too much ama can bring on an excess of kapha, the dosha associated with cold and wetness (known in cold-speak as phlegm and mucus). A kapha imbalance will leave you feeling heavy and sluggish with lots of congestion and thick, heavy nasal discharge. A cold caused by a vata dosha imbalance, on the other hand, shows up as fatigue and sleeplessness and is usually accompanied by a dry cough, a sore throat, and a watery, runny nose.
Rx For Prevention: You can counteract the effects of the cold and windy vata season by keeping your body temperature up. At the first sign of a sniffle or cough, begin a morning ritual of abhyanga, a head-to-toe heated sesame oil massage. (Fill a glass jar with oil, and run it under comfortably warm water.) Follow with a warm bath or shower. This added warmth helps stimulate your digestive fire so your body has an easier time "burning off " phlegm and mucus.
Keep your immunity at its strongest by taking any (or all) of the following herbs: ashwaganda (600 to 1,000 mg daily, divided into two or three capsules); amalaki (250 to 500 mg twice a day); and gotu kola (500 to 1,000 mg daily). "All these build up resistance to stress and other external invaders that can weaken your immune system," says Mark Toomey, PhD, director of health science at The Raj, a Maharishi Ayurveda Health Center in Fairfield, Iowa.
Rx For Treatment: Generally, you can treat both cold types with the following remedies, says Toomey. First, cut back on all dairy, like yogurt, cheese, and milk, and foods made with sugar and oils, all of which tend to increase kapha and mucus. Up your intake of warming herbs and spices, such as cinnamon, ginger, pippali (known in the US as long pepper), basil, cloves, and mint to soothe kapha and vata. Toss them...

June 1st marks ninety-three years since as many as 300 African Americans lost their lives and more than 9,000 were left homeless when the small town was attacked, looted and literally burned to the ground beginning in 1921. It's impossible, however, to realize what was lost in Greenwood, which was affectionately known as "Black Wall Street.
The Tulsa Race Riot was a large-scale, racially motivated conflict on May 31 and June 1, 1921, in which whites attacked the black community of Tulsa, Oklahoma. It resulted in the Greenwood District, also known as Black Wall Street' and the wealthiest black community in the United States, being burned to the ground. During the night and day of the riot, deputized whites killed more than 300 African Americans. During the 16 hours of the assault, police arrested and detained more than 6,000 black Greenwood residents at three local facilities, in part for their protection. An estimated 10,000 blacks were left homeless, and 35 city blocks composed of 1,256 residences were destroyed by fire.
The events of the riot were long omitted from local and state histories. In 1996, the state legislature commissioned a report to establish the historical record of the events, and acknowledge the victims and damages to the black community.

Black Wall Street - Tulsa, Oklahoma (Documentary)
Shavuot is the Hebrew name for the Jewish Feast of Weeks. In Greek it is called Pentecost, because it takes place 50 days after Passover (for its relation to the Christian celebration of Pentecost, see June 8). This Jewish festival commemorates the giving of the Ten Commandments at Mount Sinai and celebrates the harvest season in Israel.
Since 1983, June 6th commemorates the date on which Gustav Vasa was crowned king in 1523, which laid the foundation of Sweden as an independent state, and on which a new, important constitution was adopted in 1809. The day was made an official public holiday in 2005 and replaced the Whit Monday.
There have been some people who have questioned the logic of celebrating this day as the national day because of the fact that it was not celebrated for several decades. However, it marks the conclusion of the Kalmar Union, ruled by the Danish, and in a way signals Swedish independence.

Juneteenth is the oldest nationally celebrated commemoration of the ending of slavery in the United States. Juneteenth commemorates African American freedom and emphasizes education and achievement. It is a time for reflection and rejoicing. It is a time for assessment, self-improvement and for planning the future. In cities across the country, people of all races, nationalities and religions are joining hands to truthfully acknowledge a period in our history that shaped and continues to influence our society today.
Boston Events for Juneteenth!
There are approximately 45 million displaced people in the world today, forced from their homes by war, persecution, famine, or natural disaster. The United Nations General Assembly in Resolution 55/76 decided that, beginning in 2001, this date would be celebrated as World Refugee Day This occasion respects the bravery, power and strength of mind of women, men and children who are required to flee their mother country under danger of discrimination, clash and aggression. The day is devoted to lift up consciousness of the state of affairs of expatriates all through the world.
African Refugee Day had been formally celebrated in several countries prior to 2001. The UN noted that the Organization of African Unity (OAU) had agreed to have International Refugee Day coincide with Africa Refugee Day on 20 June. In the Roman Catholic Church, the World Day of Migrants and Refugees is celebrated in January each year
Since John the Baptist is the patron saint of the Puerto Rico and the namesake of the capital city (San Juan), his saint's day is widely celebrated by big parties on the beaches on the Eve of the holiday. One tradition is to walk backward into the ocean and fall in 12 times at midnight on the beginning of the 24th.
Canadian Multiculturalism day was founded in 2002 by then-Prime Minister Jean Chretien, who designated June 27th of each year for the occasion. Canadian Multiculturalism Day is an opportunity to reflect on both the contributions of Canada's various cultural communities and the values that we all share: freedom, democracy, individual rights and the rule of law.
This day commemorates the 1969 riots that occurred between police and members of the GLBT community in Greenwich Village. The Stonewall riots inspired LGBT people throughout the country to organize in support of gay rights, and within two years after the riots, gay rights groups had been started in nearly every major city in the United States.

Ramadan is the ninth month of the Muslim calendar. Ramadan is a time when Muslims concentrate on their faith and spend less time on the concerns of their everyday lives. It is a time of worship and contemplation.
During the Fast of Ramadan strict restraints are placed on the daily lives of Muslims. They are not allowed to eat or drink during the daylight hours. Smoking and sexual relations are also forbidden during fasting. At the end of the day the fast is broken with prayer and a meal called the iftar. In the evening following the iftar it is customary for Muslims to go out visiting family and friends. The fast is resumed the next morning.
During Ramadan, it is common for Muslims to go to the Mosque and spend several hours praying and studying the Quran. In addition to the five daily prayers, during Ramadan Muslims recite a special prayer called the Taraweeh prayer (Night Prayer). The length of this prayer is usually 2-3 times as long as the daily prayers. Some Muslims spend the entire night in prayer.
On the evening of the either the 21st, 23rd, 25th, 27th or 29th day of the month, Muslims celebrate the Laylat-al-Qadr (the Night of Power). It is believed that on this night Muhammad first received the revelation of the Holy Quran. And according to the Quran, this is when God determines the course of the world for the following year.

But you are in a bubble; we arent. I hear four primary evidentiary arguments for the existence of this bubble, and I would like to provide a counterargument for each.
Many students complain about a lack of cultural opportunities on campus. To these students, I draw your attention to Viva La Raza and Asia Weeks. Attendance for these and similar student-organized cultural opportunities is notoriously low, and it is certainly not due to poor advertising. Santa Claus doesnt visit campus every year and dictate what events we will be exposed to: St. Olaf students (thats you) actually decide what speakers come, what organizations exist and what said organizations do. Just because you do not go to a cultural event on campus does not mean it didnt happen.
There are more abroad opportunities than Caf options on campus, and more abroad opportunities here than at most small liberal arts colleges. Many of you take advantage of these, and many of you actually bring back a few of your very own cultural influences. Hookahs dont grow in Chanhassen, you know.
For those who blame St. Olaf for your ignorance about current events, I ask you this: Is St. Paul any closer to Iraq? Are free newspapers, the Messenger, The Carletonian, computers every 10 feet and a library with 1,000,000 volumes and Interlibrary Loan not enough to satiate your need for up-to-date news? Did you even know we get The Carletonian?
Some say St. Olaf is geographically isolated. I will concede this point to you, but only with a caveat: If it is so hard to get into downtown Northfield, then why is it that every time there is a cultural event at the Grand or the Legion, I see a mass exodus from campus? Do you know that Dawns is actually past Northfield, in Dundas? To you I say, thank goodness we have a dry campus otherwise you might never leave!
Yes, Northfield is a rural community. Yes, it doesnt have as many Thai food restaurants as your beloved hometown does. But guess what? There is rural culture too! How many of you have made an effort to participate in a part of rural culture since you have been at St. Olaf? STOGROW, the Northfield Community Action Center, Reaching Our Goals, and numerous mentoring and tutoring programs, provide opportunities for St. Olaf students to participate in activities and projects that are unique to Northfields diverse (what did I say?) culture.
Involvement is an action word. That means you have to do something. Our campus infrastructure cannot make you less aware than St. Pauls infrastructure can. Do you really believe that all Macalester students attend every cultural event on campus and somehow know more about Darfur than we do? What about an urban setting (or rural setting) facilitates ones ability to read a newspaper or go to a cultural event? Ignorance is not unique to St. Olaf.
I do not want to admonish anybody who doesnt read a newspaper or ever leave campus; thats a choice that youre entitled to make. Certainly, I am not arguing that students should not go to bars or parties. What I am arguing is that if you do not make an effort to inform yourself culturally and practically about the world around you, information will not fall into your lap. Dont blame the bubble; blame yourself.
We cannot simultaneously argue that we are responsible adults and that we are unable to inform ourselves of goings on in the real world. Our parents were not born with a Star Tribune in hand. Being informed and involved is a conscious process that requires habit forming as well as a willingness to step outside of your world. Part of being at college is transitioning from an environment in which your parents always had the news on into one in which you find out about the world outside of your bubble.

Narrow your search
Razer's newest gaming laptop trades ultralong battery life for a fantastic screen and even better graphics. It's a trade worth making: this is the best Razer gaming laptop, and the best thin gaming PC anywhere.
Small size and low price distinguish this battery, but we can't recommend it over the Electrovaya PowerPad 160 or the Valence N-Charge VNC-130.
Pricing not available
Caseable laptop and gadget sleeves are blank canvases for creative minds, letting you tweak patterns and colors, or even upload your own images.
If you're one of those people who need to tote a MacBook and iPad around at the same time, the Cocoon CLS456 is custom-made for you.
The Logitech diNovo for Notebooks looks sexy and is comfortable for typing, but it's a pricey upgrade for a keyboard that lacks integrated USB ports and backlit keys.
This Webcam provides plenty of settings options for users while providing solid video, photo, and instant-messaging performance.
Pricing not available
This portable Webcam has solid picture quality and is a convenient partner for instant-messaging programs, but its sound and color quality leave room for improvement.
Its innovative design and mechanical face-tracking capabilities make this top-of-the-line Webcam a true conversation piece.
A built-in raincoat, plus enough room for a 17-inch laptop, makes the Targus Flare worth a look, if you don't mind looking like you're on your way back to the dorms.
Ditching gimmicks and delivering on function, Razer's slim 14-inch gaming laptop marries true power and good battery life in an excellent PC. All it lacks a stellar display.

After a year of careful recalibration of its business model that led to a tightened 2013 schedule, Georgia Shakespeare plans to expand its offerings in 2014.
The just-announced season will feature five all-new productions.
"We've heard a great deal of feedback from our supporters who have made it clear that they want more theater from us and more Shakespeare from us," producing artistic director Richard Garner said in a statement. "We are rebuilding in a smart, intelligent way that will make us truly sustainable. … We are ready to move forward with our freshest, boldest work yet."
The '14 productions include (final dates still to be determined):
A few notes about the what Georgia Shakespeare is planning:
Georgia Shakespeare is also in talks with potential partners to tour the Shakespeare in the Park production beyond Atlanta, possibly as soon as '14.
"We believe that simplifying our approach to summer will make it much easier for our audiences to see our shows," Garner said.

They're on tour and their hit, "Radioactive," just set a new record for the longest time spent on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. Now the guys in Imagine Dragons find themselves with a problem: lots of songs kicking around and no time to record them.
In a chat with Billboard at the South by Southwest Music Festival, Dragons frontman Dan Reynolds says, "We're still on tour right now...[so we have lots to do] before we step foot into any studio. We keep toying with the idea of taking a little bit of time off, which keeps sounding more and more appealing, but we're really bad at that."
The band discloses to Billboard that there are approximately 50 song demos done, but drummer Daniel Platzman says, "We took a long time to make sure [our current album] Night Visions was up to standard, and a lot of our favorite records growing up were that way. It's not like, 'Here's a song. Here's another song.' It's the album journey."
Reynolds called the band's new material, "definitely different. It's still Imagine Dragons, but we've got a lot of growth and maturing to do as a band."
The band members said that despite fans' wanting new material as soon as possible, they are determined to be relaxed about putting any new songs out there.
Imagine Dragons have two U.S. dates left -- Chicago on March 13 and Denver on March 15 -- before heading to South America for a few shows.

Spirit Stories: In Your Own Words
Jesus on a Bicycle
How could Linda and I possibly know we are about to meet Jesus — on a bicycle?
After spotting dolphins and then meditating along the jagged cliffs of the Pacific Ocean, we make our way back to the park's steep entrance road as the sun is setting behind us. Emerging from the coastal desert landscape, we find ourselves about three-quarters of the way up the hill. What a relief! The park brochure tells us this road rises three hundred feet in 0.8 miles, but we don't have too much further to walk. We begin heading for our car in the parking lot at the top of the road. The park is closing.
Linda is quite thin due to her illness, so we take our time and walk slowly up. And up. And up. We're enjoying the soothing twilight and peaceful meditative state that has overtaken both of us. From behind we hear the clanging of an old bicycle. Who would be coming into the park . . . on a bicycle . . . as the park is closing?
We turn to spot a young man about twenty feet away, easily peddling up the hill on a clunker one-speed bicycle. He greets us with a warm smile, his brown, wavy, shoulder-length hair softly blowing in the wind. He's not out of breath.
How can this young man peddle up this steep hill with seemingly no effort?
Approaching, he tenderly gazes into our eyes and from this gentle being we hear the words, "I have a message for you from a parallel universe. I have but a moment within which to bring you the message. Sananda loves you."
I immediately stop breathing. I'm mesmerized by this young man, his energy, his message. Spellbound, I manage to respond with a monotone, "Thank you." Linda is frozen into silence.
As he seems to float past us up the last stretch of this impossibly steep grade, we simply stand and stare until he disappears into the flat parking lot.
My mind can't seem to come to grips with what I've just experienced.
All at once, a dozen questions come zipping into my head. I hear myself sputtering, "Did you see what I saw? Did you hear what I heard? How did he know I'm going to write a book called Messages from a Parallel Universe? Who would bicycle up this unbelievably steep hill at sunset just as the park is closing?
"How could this guy so effortlessly peddle up this sheer grade . . . on an old clunker of a bike . . . smiling pleasantly . . . breathing easily . . . speaking clearly? He looked just like Jesus, on a bicycle!"
And then one last question comes out of me, "Who is Sananda?"
In a flat voice Linda explains, "When he walked the earth we called him Jesus. His energy on the other side is known as Sananda."
"You're saying that in a parallel universe, Jesus is called Sananda?"
What am I hearing? I feel my head shaking. No, this can't be happening.
Linda and I hold on to each other, unbelieving and at once confirming what we've seen, heard, experienced. As the sun hovers over the horizon behind us, we glance around to see if anyone else witnessed this exchange between us and Jesus . . . Sananda? We're the only ones remaining on the road.
With arms wrapped around each other's waist and a sense of wonder and growing apprehension, we begin walking up to the crest of the hill. We know there's only one way in and out of the San Diego Torrey Pines State Park . . . this road. Reaching the parking lot we search with our eyes. He's nowhere to be seen. Silently, we wait. Perhaps he's in the ranger station?
The few cars remaining stream out of the parking lot and begin their descent. Within minutes the sun has set. The park closes. We are the only civilians left. The Rangers signal us to leave. He and his bicycle have simply disappeared.
A few years before this mystical experience, during a meditation it had come to me that I'd write a book entitled Messages from a Parallel Universe. I trusted it. I knew it was true. I just didn't know when the book would come through me or what the content would be. Sananda's words confirmed this for me. It took me several more years to write a book filled with channeled Messages from my Master Spirit Guides, Paularyo— who reside in a Parallel Universe.

Your words were brave that time you went to a rodeo and exclaimed that you could ride a 2,000-pound bull just as easily as those professionals out there. And with no one jumping up to let you climb on a bull, you walked away from your foolhardy comments without harm.
But thanks to the folks at PBR Rock Bar, inside the Miracle Mile Shops at Planet Hollywood, your buddies are going to be sure to let your words come back and bite you.
PBR Rock Bar lives up to its bull-riding namesake with a mechanical bull inside one of the most realistic setups in Vegas. The bull lives inside metal corral fencing, just waiting for you to take a ride -- that is if you're brave enough.
But perhaps you need a little liquid courage before climbing aboard. PBR Rock Bar is more than a fancy place to ride a fake bull. The bar comes from the same folks who brought you Rockhouse Bar and Nightclub.
That means the same guitar souvenir cups you loved so much are available here. PBR makes it easy with a walk-up window inside the Miracle Mile Shops to provide that adult beverage when shopping is taking too long.
And when football season is in full swing -- or any other sporting event for that matter -- PBR has you covered with 105 high-definition TVs, which means no matter where you look you're going to have a handful of TVs within site. If you're outside you don't have to miss the games either, thanks to TVs surrounding the outside bar.
While much of PBR Rock Bar is in place, there are numerous additions on the way. Most of them revolve around the décor and getting the full nightlife element in place. But PBR's general manager, Mateo Reyes, said he was more concerned about getting everything right rather than trying to rush the process.
One of the biggest additions coming up is bull rider memorabilia. You will see the bar transform into a semi-shrine to the brave (or crazy) bull riders with chaps, hats and other items on display from riders like Ty Murray, who you may know from "Dancing With the Stars."
And your friends may be sure to remind you about that time you called out those dancers from "Dancing With the Stars." So which words would you rather try to live up to, that you can ride a fake bull or that you can wear skin-tight clothes and dance the samba?

"Podere Il Pero" is situated in a charming rural area just near the gates of the city. The farmhouse is completely restored by keeping the original style typical of the Senese countryside farms, still providing with all kinds of modern comforts.
Every single room - Girasoli, Granaio, Uva Passa , Loggia - is different from the others, with its own features. The rooms are furnished in old poor style and the beds are made by wrought iron.
The 4 double bedrooms with en-suite bathroom (hairdryer and courtesy kit), have Satellite TV, Wi-Fi Internet, central heating and Air Condition. Availability of the 3rd bed.
Each morning we serve a very good breakfast.
Outside there is a Wide Garden with Gazebo, big lawn where the Childs can play.

About the Book
What can good farming teach us about nurturing ourselves?
Family physician Daphne Miller long suspected that farming and medicine were intimately linked. Increasingly disillusioned by mainstream medicine's mechanistic approach to healing and fascinated by the farming revolution that is changing the way we think about our relationship to the earth, Miller left her medical office and traveled to seven innovative family farms around the country, on a quest to discover the hidden connections between how we care for our bodies and how we grow our food. Farmacology, the remarkable book that emerged from her travels, offers us a compelling new vision for sustainable health and healing—and a wealth of farm-to-body lessons with immense value in our daily lives.
Miller begins her journey with a pilgrimage to the Kentucky homestead of renowned author and farming visionary Wendell Berry. Over the course of the following year, she travels to a biodynamic farm in Washington state, a ranch in the Ozarks, two chicken farms in Arkansas, a winery in California, a community garden in the Bronx, and finally an aromatic herb farm back in Washington. While learning from forward-thinking farmers, Miller explores such compelling questions as:
- What can rejuvenating depleted soil teach us about rejuvenating ourselves?
- How can a grazing system on a ranch offer valuable insights into raising resilient children?
- What can two laying-hen farms teach us about stress management?
- How do vineyard pest-management strategies reveal a radically new approach to cancer care?
- What are the unexpected ways that urban agriculture can transform the health of a community?
- How can an aromatic herb farm unlock the secret to sustainable beauty?
Throughout, Miller seeks out the perspectives of noted biomedical scientists and artfully weaves in their insights and research, along with stories from her own medical practice. The result is a profound new approach to healing, combined with practical advice for how to treat disease and maintain wellness.
Educator and Librarian Resources
Critical Praise
"What does the practice of sustainable agriculture have to teach modern medicine? What are the links between soil health and the health of the people who eat from that soil?…A highly original and compelling work of exploration with large implications for our understanding of health." —Michael Pollan
"Dr. Miller's wit, compassion, and willingness to learn from the people who take care of the land make this a vibrant and important book. It is about so much more than just personal well-being; it is about the health of our food, our farms and farmers-the entire planet." —Alice Waters
"In Farmacology, Daphne Miller expands the field of medicine from the classical boundaries of the symptom-cure concept toward a more complex and holistic approach that takes into account the tight balance between Man and Nature." —Carlo Petrini, founder of the International Slow Food Movement
Miller's journey begins in serendipity and remains alive to surprise…[The] web of associations…will surprise even those [who know] that healthy soils make for healthy people. It's startling to think that few if any doctor-authors have attempted this hybrid of field work…patient case histories…and conversations with scientists. —Acres U.S.A.
"Farmacology…explains how sustainable farms serve as a model for a healthy human body…Soil is the star of this story. Its vigor is clearly connected to the vitality of the plants, animals, and human beings it supports…Think like a farmer, and you'll likely cultivate better personal health." —Booklist
San Francisco Chronicle bestseller —San Francisco Chronicle
"Miller steps outside medicine's orthodoxy to explore the connection between sustainable farming and healthy living…Working hands-on and also picking the brains of the farms' operators, [she] observed farmers taking a holistic…approach…that she has found to be too often missing in the modern practice of medicine." —Kirkus Reviews
"An eloquent call for better systems of sustainable agriculture and humanistic health care. . . . lovely, touching, and sometimes quite funny. [Miller's] insight: both soil and people do better when treated as complex systems, not fragments. This is a fresh, original, and utterly charming book." —Marion Nestle, Professor of Nutrition, Food Studies, and Public Health at New York University and author of What to Eat
"[Here] explorer and integrative physician Daphne Miller learns the principles of best farming practices and considers their applicability to medicine. Her observations are revealing and inspiring, offering a vision of new and more effective treatments for a variety of human ailments, from allergies to cancer. A rewarding read." —Dr. Andrew Weil, author of 8 Weeks to Optimum Health and True Food
"Sustainable agriculture and holistic medical practice find each other as soul mates…The issues raised deal with profound economic, social and cultural dilemmas…and Miller's hearty, personable writing style makes it a good read for travelers, lovers of character studies and medical and farming professionals alike." —Lou Fancher, Mercury News
Some of Miller's discoveries are simple, others groundbreaking, but all feel important for their medical implications as well as for what they can teach us about our connection to other living creatures... Miller... delves deep into the science, translating dense medical text into practical information. —Orion Magazine
"It's alternative living in a big way, whether you're the field, the cow, the cultivated insect, or the patient of a type of physician [Miller] calls "medical ecologists." Miller had fun, writes exuberantly, and wants to infect us in the best way possible with the spirit of these places." —Harvard Medicine Magazine
"[Daphne Miller is] such a fearless, intelligent, and charming guide on the food-filled journey between medical and ecological sciences that by the end of Farmacology you won't just think that medical ecology is fascinating--you'll wonder how we managed to live without it for so long." —Raj Patel, author of Stuffed and Starved

United States' climate change goals are consistent with and supportive of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), which set an ultimate goal of stabilizing greenhouse gases (GHGs) in the atmosphere at a level that avoids dangerous human interference with the climate system. There is international recognition that climate change concerns cannot be addressed in isolation from other pressing needs, such as economic development, energy security, and pollution reduction, especially in developing economies. Successfully addressing these complementary concerns will require the development and commercialization of advanced technologies, particularly, but not exclusively, those that have the potential to fundamentally alter the way we produce and use energy. It will also require a sustained, long-term commitment by all nations over many generations and a substantial degree of international cooperation.
It is within this broad context that the United States is pursuing a comprehensive strategy on climate change. This strategy includes implementing policies and measures to slow the growth of GHG emissions, investing in climate science to improve understanding of climate change and provide information to decision-makers, accelerating the development and adoption of energy and other technologies that reduce, avoid, or capture and sequester GHG emissions, and promoting international collaboration. In this way, the United States is working to ensure a bright and secure energy and economic future for the Nation and a healthy planet for future genertions (Figure 10-1).
Under the auspices of the Cabinet-level Committee on Climate Change Science and Technology Integration (CCCSTI), the Climate Change Technology Program (CCTP), led by the Department of Energy (DOE), represents the technology component of this strategy. Authorized by the Energy Policy Act of 2005, CCTP functions as a multi-agency planning and coordination entity. CCTP is charged with reviewing and prioritizing the Federal Government's climate-related technology programs. Its activities are guided by the CCCSTI and carried out by representatives of the participating R&D agencies. CCTP provides strategic direction for and coordinates an investment portfolio of climate-change related technology research, development, demonstration and deployment (R&D) of nearly $3 billion in Fiscal Year 2006.
10.1 SummaryThe CCTP Strategic Plan is an important milestone on the road to accelerating the development and adoption of advanced climate change technologies. The Plan articulates a vision for the role for advanced technology in addressing climate change concerns, provides a supporting long-term planning context with insights from analysis, and establishes goals, approaches, and guiding principles for Federal R&D agencies to use in formulating climate change-related technology components of their respective R&D portfolios.
CCTP's strategic vision is to attain, on a global scale and in partnership with others, a technological capability that can provide abundant, clean, secure, and affordable energy and other services needed to encourage and sustain economic growth, while simultaneously achieving substantial GHG emissions reductions to mitigate the potential risks of climate change from increasing GHG concentrations. To give substance to this vision, CCTP's portfolio pursues six complementary strategic goals: (1) reduce emissions from energy use and infrastructure; (2) reduce emissions from energy supply; (3) capture and sequester CO2; (4) reduce emissions of other GHGs; (5) measure and monitor emissions; and (6) bolster the contributions of basic science. The Plan outlines seven approaches to attain those goals, including next steps.
Long-Term Planning Under UncertaintyCCTP operates within a planning environment characterized by uncertainty. First, the complex relationships among population growth; economic development; energy demand, mix, and intensity; resource availability; technology advancement; and many other societal variables make it difficult to estimate with confidence future global GHG emissions over CCTP's long-term planning horizon. This creates uncertainty about the scope and scale of the technological challenge. Second, evolving climate science, as well as the uncertain nature of the (as yet undetermined) UNFCCC's stabilization objective, adds uncertainty about the appropriate pace of technology development. Finally, research and development itself is risky, such that the future readiness, cost, and performance characteristics of the many advanced technologies envisioned to facilitate GHG emissions reductions are unknown. This adds uncertainty about deployment and which, if any, technologies will ultimately emerge as successful.
Estimated Cumulative GHG Emissions Mitigation (GtC) from Accelerated Adoption of Advanced Technologies over the 21st Century, by Strategic Goal, Across a Range of Hypothesized GHG Emissions Constraints
Goals for Technology DevelopmentUncertainties notwithstanding, CCTP sets ambitious goals for technology development in each of its strategic areas. By addressing uncertainties systematically through analyses of options, or scenarios, under a range of varying assumptions, CCTP can illuminate its technological challenges in the form of bracketed insights regarding reductions or avoidances in GHG emissions, comparative costs, and the timing of significant technology adoption. These insights, in turn, can be used to guide R&D portfolio planning, as well as inform specific near-, mid- and long-term technological development objectives.
Regarding reductions or avoidances in GHG emissions, CCTP envisions significant contributions from the accelerated adoption of advanced technologies in each of its four emissions-reduction strategic goals. [3] Across a wide range of atmospheric GHG concentration levels and hypothesized emissions constraints (from "low" to "very high"), CCTP explored the potential contributions of three contrasting technological futures over a 100-year planning horizon. Table 10-1 provides a representative sample of the range of GHG emissions reductions, accumulated over this period, that may be possible should the promise of advanced technologies associated with these goals be realized (see Chapter 3).
Across all four goals, as well as among the many technologies within each goal, the accelerated adoption of advanced technologies is shown to be potentially capable of contributing significantly to GHG emissions reductions and avoidances. The underlying assumptions for technology performance can help inform long-term technology R&D planning and goal-setting. The significance of the potentials across all four goals suggests the importance of pursuing a diversified R&D portfolio.
Potential to Reduce Mitigation CostsCCTP analysis suggests that significant economic benefits could accrue, if advanced technologies with high emission mitigation potentials were to be successfully deployed. Figure 10-2 presents the results of a comparative analysis of the cumulative costs over the 21st century of GHG mitigation, with and without the accelerated adoption of advanced technologies, across a range of advanced technology scenarios and variously hypothesized GHG emissions constraints. The relative cost reductions are significant in all cases. As one would expect, the absolute cost reductions are more significant under the higher emissions constraints. [4] The results of modeling these hypothetical scenarios suggest the potential for advanced GHG-reducing technologies to reduce mitigation costs.
Considerations of TimingWith regard to considerations of timing and commercial readiness of the advanced technology options, insights were gained by analysis of the lowest cost solutions across a range of technology scenarios and hypothesized GHG concentration levels. Generally speaking, the lower the level of GHG concentrations hypothesized, the earlier the need for the commercial readiness of the advanced technologies.
Using the metric of when the first GtC per year of reduced or avoided GHG emissions could be achieved by the accelerated adoption of advanced technologies, across a range of assumptions, scenarios, and GHG emissions constraints, the analysis indicates that, in relative terms, advanced technologies for end-use energy efficiency contribute first, followed soon thereafter by technologies for mitigation of non-CO2GHGs, advanced energy supply technologies, and carbon capture, storage, and sequestration. The timing of such contributions for each CCTP strategic goal, however, may vary by decades depending on the GHG concentration level assumed, as shown in Table 10-2. Allowing for capital stock turnover and other inertia inherent in the global energy system and infrastructure, it is noted that for advanced technologies to achieve one GtC per year, they would need to be available in the commercial marketplace and gaining market share years before the periods indicated on Table 10-2.
Estimated Timing of Advanced Technology Market Penetrations, as Indicated by the First GtC-Eq./Year of Incremental Emissions Mitigation [5], by Strategic Goal, Across a Range of Hypothesized GHG Emissions Constraints
Strategies for Technology Development and DeploymentIn Chapters 4 through 7, the Plan lays out dozens of technology-specific strategies for research and development for key technologies including, where appropriate, strategies for technology deployment that show promise for realizing such gains. In Chapter 8, the Plan addresses the cross-cutting technology area for measuring and monitoring GHG emissions. For each technology area, the Plan examines the role that advanced technologies can play in contributing to each CCTP strategic goal, establishes strategic direction for R&D, highlights current R&D activities, and identifies promising directions for future research. A thematic timeline for technology development, evolution and adoption is provided for each of these five CCTP strategic goals.
Climate Change Technology Development and Deployment for the 21st Century [6]
Figure 10-3 presents an integration of these five timelines, for the near-, mid-, and long-terms. In general, advanced technologies appear in the figure at the point where commercialization is achieved and a favorable investment environment supports their adoption. Although many technologies are shown, only those that offer cost-effective options, compared to their competitors, would achieve significant market representation.
In the near-term (in less than 20 years), the CCTP strategy envisions commercial readiness, such that significant market entry can occur, by hybrid cars, high-efficiency buildings and industrial processes, selected technologies to capture, store and sequester CO2, coal-based integrated gasification-combined cycle power plants, and methane capture and use technologies. In the mid-term (20 to 40 years later), the early technologies would be followed by significant market shares of hydrogen fuel cell vehicles, "smart" buildings, transformational technologies for energy intensive industries, improved CO2capture, methane emission reductions, and advanced nuclear energy In the long-term, such technologies would be improved and extended more broadly and more advanced technologies would enter the marketplace. Ultimately, societies could see extensive adoption of low emissions infrastructure and communities, low emissions intelligent transport systems, wide-spread adoption of renewable energy and nuclear power, large scale adoption of zero-emission power plants with carbon sequestration, fusion power plants, and high levels of management of emissions of non-CO2GHGs.
Key InitiativesSince early 2002, when CCTP was first organized, there have been a number of portfolio realignments. Foremost among these has been the identification of key technology initiatives that advance multiple technology goals, such as enhancing energy security, reducing air pollution, and promoting economic growth and productivity, while also addressing important thrusts of CCTP strategic goals. These key initiatives complement a core portfolio of technologies in energy efficiency, renewable energy, nuclear power (Figure 10-4), and highly efficient and clean use of coal (Figure 10-5). Although many of the key initiatives are not motivated exclusively by CCTP strategic goals, each is an important contributor to these goals. Collectively, they lend strategic focus and coherence to the many underlying research activities across programs within and among the agencies. They also give visibility to major technology thrusts and complement the regional and international partnerships. Key initiatives are mentioned throughout the Plan in their respective technology areas. [7] A current list of the key initiatives, with links to current programmatic information, may be found at the CCTP Web site. [8]
Contributions of Basic ScienceRegarding CCTP's Goal #6 to bolster basic science contributions to technology development, the Plan recognizes the critical importance of new knowledge in enabling and accelerating progress in the applied areas. Discoveries in biology, nanosciences, computational modeling and simulation, physical processes, and environmental sciences could result in important breakthroughs for both emissions-related technologies and in measuring and monitoring capabilities. Three strategic thrusts to be pursued by CCTP in basic science include: (1) conducting basic research in areas inspired by the technical challenges in applied climate change R&D; (2) carrying out an exploratory research on innovative concepts and enabling technologies that have great potential for breakthroughs; and (3) improving R&D planning and integrative R&D processes.
Emerging PrioritiesThe CCTP working groups plan to review regularly the adequacy of the CCTP portfolio to attain CCTP's strategic goals and, where needed, make recommendations to prioritize and strengthen the portfolio, as outlined in Chapter 2. Each goal encompasses many different technologies with varying degrees of GHG reduction potential, likelihood of technological and commercial success, and private sector interest and incentive to invest. CCTP must consider these factors, along with criteria presented in Section 2.4, when recommending priorities for Federal investment.
In this way the CCTP portfolio is strengthened on an ongoing basis. This has resulted in the realignment of the portfolio in certain areas, evidenced by changes in investment levels over time. Climate change strategy also has provided compelling rationales for entirely new or revamped programs. These are described in Chapters 4 through 9 in the current portfolio sections.
Within the overall CCTP portfolio, certain activities are identified as priorities associated with President's National Climate Change Technology Initiative (NCCTI). NCCTI priorities are defined as discrete research, development, demonstration, or deployment activities that address technological challenges that, if solved, could advance technologies with the potential to dramatically reduce, avoid, or sequester greenhouse gas emissions. The NCCTI priorities appearing in the Fiscal Year 2007 budget request include, as ordered by strategic goal, the following:
2. Low wind speed technology, cellulosic biomass (Figure 10-6), biochemical platform R&D, hydrogen storage, nuclear hydrogen initiative, integrated gasification combined cycle (IGCC), and advanced fuel cycle/advanced burner reactor (Strategic Goal 2).
3. Sequestration (Strategic Goal 3).
4. Methane partnership initiatives (Strategic Goal 4).
Also included among the NCCTI priorities is CCTP program support. Details on these activities can be found in Appendix B. Current and updated programmatic information in this regard may be found at the CCTP Web site.9
Advances in climate change science under the Climate Change Science Program (CCSP) are expected to improve our knowledge of climate change so that its potential impacts and uncertainties about the causes and effects of climate change will be better understood. This will help to inform the potential risks and benefits of various courses of action. Similarly, advances in climate change technology under the CCTP are expected to bring forth an expanded array of advanced technology options that can meet a range of societal needs, including reducing GHG emissions, with better performance and lower costs. Improved options will enable and facilitate actions that may be called for and informed by science.
Finally, should widespread adoption of advanced climate change technologies be pursued, as guided by science, it would likely need to be supported by appropriate technology policy, potentially including market-based incentives. As Federal efforts to advance technology go forward, broadened participation by the private sector in these efforts will be increasingly important to accelerate both the innovation and the commercialization of advanced technologies.
Such participation can be encouraged by appropriate and supporting technology policy. This is evidenced today, in part, by a number of market-based incentives already in place, by others proposed by the Administration, [10] and by still others, as may be appropriate, to GHG-reducing technology investments, soon to be implemented in accord with the provisions of Title XIII of the Energy Policy Act of 2005. [11] Title XVI of the Energy Policy Act of 2005 sets the stage for future development of policies that would facilitate new technology adoption. CCTP will support CCCSTI in implementing the provisions of Title XVI. Additionally, CCTP will explore a number of technology policy options, as listed in its next steps below.
10.2 Next StepsCCTP's next steps focus on a number of broad thrusts. First, the CCTP will continue its coordinating role and provide support to CCCSTI and its IWG. These activities are expected to include multi-agency planning and analysis, portfolio reviews, interagency communications and information exchanges, technical assessments of research needs, and formulating and presenting recommendations. The CCTP will contribute its expertise and provide support to the CCCSTI and IWG as they address issues of climate change science and technology, weigh policies and priorities on related science and technology matters, make informed decisions, and make recommendations to the President and the agencies. Second, the CCTP will continue to work with and support the participating agencies in developing plans and carrying out activities needed to advance CCTP's vision, mission, and strategic goals. Third, CCTP anticipates opportunities to work with technical representatives of other countries to further international cooperation in related planning and program coordination, particularly on joint and multi-lateral technology initiatives.
CCTP intends to pursue specific activities to ensure progress toward achieving CCTP's strategic goals. These activities, organized by approach, are outlined below. CCTP does not expect to pursue all activities immediately, or simultaneously.
Strengthen Climate Change Technology R&D
Strengthen Basic Research Contributions
Enhance Opportunities for Partnerships
Increase International Cooperation
Support Cutting-Edge Technology Demonstrations
Ensure a Viable Technology Workforce of the Future
Provide Supporting Technology Policy
In carrying out these activities, and in accord with its management structure (Chapter 2), CCTP will be advised by the CCTP Steering Group, assisted by its multi-agency CCTP Working Groups, informed by inputs from varied sources, and supported by CCTP staff and resources. Results will be conveyed to the CCCSTI via the IWG. The CCTP also plans to issue periodically reports on its current activities, future plans, and research progress.
10.3 ClosingThe United States, in partnership with others, is now embarked on a near- and long-term global challenge, guided by science and facilitated by advanced technology, to address concerns about climate change and increasing concentrations of GHGs. This CCTP Strategic Plan is a first step toward guiding Federal investments in R&D to accelerate technologies that will address these concerns. The Plan will be updated periodically, as needed.
Footnotes1 A "very high constraint" scenario is associated with low GHG emissions and low GHG concentrations. A "low constraint" scenario is associated with higher GHG emissions and concentrations. 2 Source: Clarke et al. 2006, as described in Chapter 3. The 100-year cumulative values shown are consistent with Figure 3-19. Values have been rounded to the nearest 10 GtC. 3 Non-CO2GHGs include a diverse group of gases, such as methane, nitrous oxide, and chlorofluorocarbons. They are expected to contribute as much as 20 percent to total radiative forcing throughout the 21st century. 4 In the associated analysis (Chapter 3), the cumulative costs over the 21st century are undiscounted. Accordingly, relative comparisons (percents) are likely to be more meaningful than those showing absolute costs. Variations among the advanced technology scenarios are shown by the shaded area in Figure 10-2. 5 The years shown in the table represent the period, according to the analysis (Chapter 3), in which the first GtC (or GtC-eq.) of incremental emissions reduction (below an assumed Reference Case) is projected to occur due to the lowest-cost, accelerated adoption of each class of advanced technology in any one of the advanced technology scenarios. The Reference Case, without advanced technology, includes significant penetration of energy-efficient end-use technologies, nuclear, renewable, and biomass energy, terrestrial sequestration and non-CO2emission reductions. The table shows ranges of values because results vary among the advanced technology scenarios. "Energy Supply" means net-zero or very low-emissions energy supply technologies. 6 Note: Technologies shown are representations of larger suites. With some overlap, "near-term" envisions significant technology adoption by 10�20 years from present, "mid-term" in a following period of 20�40 years, and "long-term" in a following period of 40�60 years.

The Springfield Police Department announced the expansion of the ShotSpotter system in the city's North End Thursday afternoon.
The expansion was made possible through donations from local businesses.
"It enhances police officers' safety, it enhances the safety of the public and it is another technology tool for the police department," said Springfield Police Commissioner William Fitchet.
He says the expansion of the ShotSpotter system is a great tool to help police officers fight crime.
"I call it a force multiplier," said Fitchet.
The gun detection system was first launched back in 2007 and the recent expansion, which essentially doubled the coverage area from three to six miles, went into effect around six months ago.
"We have sensors deployed throughout the city strategically and what it does is it looks for an impulse sound that the computer system has determined to be a gunshot," said Officer Sean Sullivan. "It's giving us an edge in trying to catch a person with a gun and getting them off the street."
Annually the system enables police to arrest around 14 individuals and recover just as many guns.
Jose Claudio, the director of community development for the New North Citizens Council, was instrumental in making the expansion possible.
"It was important for us to go to the next level. We had done the street leaders; we had done everything that we had to do to make it work," said Claudio. "And, I said now we got to bring it to the next level how can we deal with the shooting and all this and all that."
With the help of local businesses, in less than four months Claudio was able to raise a $120,000 commitment for the system for the next three years.
And many residents say they're thankful for all of the action that has been taken to help reduce crime in their neighborhood.
"I feel like my kids can go out and play because it is a safer environment," said North End resident Eloiza Mussenden.
The hope is that the expanded technology in addition to the work the C-3 policing unit is doing in the area will continue to cut down on crime throughout the North End.

Zelda: Ocarina of Time Coming to 3DSPrior to a roundtable discussion with Shigeru Miyamoto and Eiji Aonuma, Nintendo showed a teaser of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time running on its upcoming 3DS handheld gaming system. There wasn't much to this brief clip, but it was certainly enough to whet the appetites of millions of longtime Zelda fans. Bringing back one of the most beloved games in the Zelda series also ensures that the Nintendo faithful will be along for Nintendo's foray into 3D gaming.
In the non-playable teaser, Link is shown riding on his trusty steed Epona. The camera angle changes several times to show the effectiveness of the 3DS'...uh...3D. While the clip wasn't interactive, it did a good job of showing how exploration can be potentially fun and different in a 3D version of The Ocarina of Time.
On a related note, Aonuma apologized for the Water Temple section in Ocarina of Time and promised that things will be much different in the 3DS version. A lot of gamers loathed that section because of its difficulty, while others thought it was just cruel and poor game design. Aonuma said that taking the iron boots on and off -- one of the reasons this section was so annoying -- will be easy and natural thanks to the 3DS' touchscreen.
A new version of a great game that uses cool, new technology and ditches one of its biggest flaws?!? I'm sure loads of you are down with that, right?

Breakdown: St. Paul's fans may not want to hear the word 'rebuilding' when it comes to their beloved Crusaders, yet, in essence, the 15 juniors, nine sophomores and freshman on the current roster will be a work in progress.
The most conspicuous returnee — and the one who will draw the most attention from rival defenses — is Spencer Parks (North Carolina), a serious Player of the Year candidate as a hybrid attackman/midfielder.
His senior classmate Gavin Llewellyn (Hobart) is a dangerous dodger from behind the goal and will run on the same unit with sophomore Henry Riehl and freshman Carter Flaig.
Other midfielders include seniors Ben Brehene and Austin Toland (Mt. St. Mary's), juniors Ben Linkous, Andrew Nelson and Greg Louzan and sophomore B.J. Mattheiss.
Defensive middies, such as senior Sam Sunderland, juniors Maike Mayer (Georgetown) and Jordan Thompson and sophomore Conor Sheehan, will aid junior defensemen Travis Wood (Hopkins), and A.J. Fradkin and sophomore Bennett Moore inside.
They will all be trying to shield senior goalie Will Rego.
The Crusaders, who already boast a pair of one-goal verdicts — and a blowout loss — this season, have enough talent to stay in the hunt if the youngsters grow up quickly.
2011 record: 7-8
Coach John Cummings' quote: "We are very deep and solid on defense, especially at goalie."
Breakdown: That goalie is returning All-American senior Connor Skeen, who will be anchoring a veteran group that includes senior tri-captain Thomas Kibbe, senior Freddy Taylor and junior Drew Turner.
Seniors Aaron Doty, Nick Ridgely and Teo Walker, juniors Paul Dykstra, Thomas Eick and Colin Parts and sophomores Will Huckenpoehler and Brian Pflaum will vie for playing time on defense along with reserve goalie Will Thornton.
Senior tri-captains Dan McGovern and Pat Huckenpoehler headline a midfield that includes seniors Brennan Young and Eric Kimball, junior Quinn Likens, and sophomore Noah St. John.
Senior Drew Evenson and juniors William Atkinson and Harrison Gilbert will also be in the midfield mix.
The attack is spearheaded by seniors Seth Merrick and Christian Starr and junior John Lockwood with juniors Eric Carlson and Charlie Kibbe waiting in the wings.
Juniors John Hunt, Kyle Miller, Alan Buagas and Scott Vinyard are striving for playing time under first-year coach Cummings.
The former Ohio State standout and Loyola Blakefield graduate, whose brother Joe plays for the University of Maryland, returns to the area after coaching in San Diego the past three years.

Mark Edmundson
Adult Nonfiction BF109.F74 E36 2007
Summary: A dramatic revisiting of Freud's escape from Nazi-occupied Vienna , his final days on earth, and his most controversial work-- Moses and Monotheism . When Hitler invaded Vienna in March of 1938, Sigmund Freud, old and desperately ill, was among the city's 175,000 Jews dreading Nazi occupation. The Nazis hated Sigmund Freud with a particular vehemence: they detested his "soul-destroying glorification of the instinctual life." Here Mark Edmundson traces Hitler and Freud's oddly converging lives, then zeroes in on Freud's last two years, during which, with the help of Marie Bonaparte, he was at last rescued from Vienna and brought safely to London. There he was honored as he never had been during his long, controversial life. At the same time he endured the last of more than thirty operations for cancer of the jaw. Confronting certain death, Freud, in typical fashion, did not let fame make him complacent, but instead wrote his most provocative book, Moses and Monotheism , in which he questioned the legacy of the greatest Jewish leader. Focusing on Freud's last two years, Edmundson is able to probe Freud's ideas about death, and also about the human proclivity to embrace fascism in politics and fundamentalism in religion. Edmundson suggests new and important ways to view Freud's legacy, at a time when these forces are once again shaping world events.
