Didier Houssin returns to IEA as Director of Sustainable Energy Policy and Technology
(Paris) — 6 December 2012
Didier Houssin took charge this week as the International Energy Agency's new Director of Sustainable Energy Policy and Technology (SPT), bringing his expertise from five years as chief of Energy Markets and Security at the IEA. In his new role, Mr. Houssin is responsible for all aspects of energy sustainability, such as energy efficiency policy, energy technology policy and energy-related climate change policy, including carbon capture storage (CCS).
"It is with great pleasure that we welcome Didier Houssin back to the IEA team," IEA Executive Director Maria van der Hoeven said.
Before joining the IEA, Mr. Houssin had wide-ranging experience in numerous posts both in the French Government and the private industrial sector. From 1997 to 2004, he was Director of Energy and Mineral Resources, in the French Ministry of Economy and Finances, and from 2004 to 2007, he was Managing Director of BRGM, the French Geological Survey, with extensive management responsibilities over the 850-strong group. Among other matters, his responsibilities at BRGM included overseeing carbon capture and sequestration and in geothermal energy. From 1987 to 1990, Mr. Houssin held a position in European Affairs at Total, where he was responsible for developing EU strategy.
Of French nationality, Mr. Houssin graduated from the Ecole Nationale d'Administration and has a Masters in International Law. He also has degrees in Philosophy from Université de Paris 1 - La Sorbonne and in Political Science from the Institut d'Etudes Politiques de Paris.
He succeeds Bo Diczfalusy, whom Ms. Van der Hoeven lauded for his significant achievements and dedication in the office. "I wish to thank Bo for his invaluable contribution as SPT Director and wish him well for the future."

Caring for a sniffly, feverish child is a ritual as old as parenting itself, but this is hardly your mom's cold and flu guide. Today's parents can click, swipe, and download their way to better tools when faced with the six to eight respiratory infections young kids get each year. That adds up to about one a month during the cold and flu season we're heading into. As many as 42 percent of children also get the flu annually. Consider that each ailment can last an average of seven days, and we're talking a lot of potential downtime—and missed school and work—ahead. Arm your family with this digital tool kit and some all-natural ancient wisdom to help you track down and wipe out these nasty bugs.Bug-Tracking Tools
It may not sound quite as fun as NORAD's Santa Tracker, but Google Flu Trends (google.org/flutrends) is one cool tool. These expert data crunchers use patterns of search for flu-related topics to predict the presence of actual flu symptoms with surprising precision. And at the Flu Near You website (flunearyou.org), you can zoom in and see where flu symptoms are showing up in your own neighborhood.
BE PREPARED: Follow outbreaks online.
Another awesome new digi tool is Asthmapolis. It consists of a tiny GPS-enabled wireless sensor that attaches to an asthma inhaler. You pair it with your smartphone, and each time your child needs to use the inhaler, the data is stored in the phone app to create a detailed treatment record. But that's not all—the app also uses the data to map where and when wheezing is happening in your own community. Respiratory infections are among the most common wheezing triggers—especially if air quality (which you can see at airnow.gov) is unhealthy and pollen counts (pollen.com) are high. Keep in mind, too, that not all coughs are caused by cold or flu: 2012 has seen the worst outbreak of pertussis in 50 years. The HealthMap website (healthmap.org/local) is a great free resource for a quick view of the most important outbreaks in your zip code. Bookmark it.Germ Warmfare
When cold or flu viruses are in your neighborhood or daycare, or lurking on your television remote, it's time to ramp up prevention efforts. A few simple steps could head off a week or two of yuck. Evidence is mounting that getting enough vitamin D makes a big difference, perhaps cutting the number of colds in half (three to four colds a year is a whole lot better than six to eight!) and cutting swab-proven flu by as much as two thirds. Kids' vitamin D levels tend to be lowest during cold and flu season. I suggest giving them 1,000 to 1,200 IU a day.
Recent well-designed studies also suggest that taking a probiotic (beneficial bacteria) supplement can dramatically reduce the odds of kids' getting a fever, cough, or runny nose during cold and flu season. And if they do get sick, kids taking the probiotics tend to get better two or three days faster. You can talk to your pediatrician about specific brands, but they are available over-the-counter for purchase on your own, too. Just look for a mixture of at least two types of beneficial bacteria and a total of at least 10 billion CFU.
Try to stay clear of coughs and sneezes, cough into the inside of the elbow, and wash hands frequently, to help reduce family spread. Keep oft-touched germy surfaces clean, too. Thymol is a powerful, natural ingredient to look for in hand sanitizers and disinfectants that will kill germs without creating risk for your family.Digital Diagnosis
Too many times I've heard—and said—"It's a virus." But the common cold can be caused by more than 100 different viruses. And the flu is a set of somewhat similar, but often more severe, symptoms caused by the influenza A or B virus. Soon it will be possible to know exactly which virus your child has and what to expect when expectorating (OK, what to expect when coughing). I'm the chief medical officer of Scanadu (scanadu.com), where we're creating cool tools parents can use. The first of these, debuting in 2013, is called the Scanadu SCOUT: a palm-size tool to explore and learn about how your child's body works. With a simple touch, it can SCOUT oxygen levels, heart-rate variability, pulse transit time, skin surface temperature (and more). The device is linked to your smartphone, where the info is effortlessly stored and interpreted.
When you do have a medical question and your doc isn't available (read: 3 a.m. or Saturday afternoon), you can submit a question from your phone, tablet, or laptop 24/7 to HealthTap (healthtap.com), where more than 14,000 doctors are providing quick answers for free. For a road map when your child is sick, check out the Vicks cold-symptom forecaster (vicks.com). For example, day one is likely to bring complaints of a sore throat, whereas day four's symptoms are more likely to be congestion and coughing.Sick-Kid Cures
Serve up some zinc. There's new strong evidence that zinc really can help reduce the severity and duration of colds—if started in the first 24 hours of symptoms. Plus: Kids taking zinc supplements for at least five months get fewer colds overall and miss fewer days of school. (Give your child zinc in syrup form—the lozenges taste worse and may cause nausea.)
Turn on the water works. Topical saline is your first go-to liquid. With babies, administer saline nose drops with a bulb syringe. For older kids, use a saline spray or (in our family) Neti pot—a teapot-like container. The benefit? Evidence of decreased daycare or school absence, modest improvement of symptoms, decreased return of symptoms, and decreased need for other meds. Warm, humidified air has also been shown to have some benefit—just be sure to keep the device out of reach.
Honey trumps cough medicine. To some extent coughing is helpful, protecting the lungs and ejecting some of the virus from the body. But enough is enough, especially when it's keeping the whole family up at night. A spoonful of honey is one of the most effective cough remedies for kids over age 1. I suggest 1/2 tsp for kids ages 1 to 6, and 1 tsp for kids ages 6 to 12. The darker the honey, the better.
Warm things up. Fevers help kids fight colds by activating the immune system. Not all kids with colds get a fever, however, so you might consider wrapping yours up in some warm blankets or holding him close to increase his body temperature just a bit. Raising the room temperature, or positioning your child near a cozy fire (with proper safety precautions, of course), may also help.
Be a couch potato. There's a reason you feel wiped out with a cold: Your body needs rest. So let your child chill on the couch and indulge in some extra screen time. If he's having trouble sleeping at night, that's your cue to treat even helpful symptoms, such as fevers and coughs.Repeat after me, Dr. Alan Greene, … I will not give my child:
•CONVENTIONAL COLD MEDICINES, such as OTC decongestants, antihistamines, and cough suppressants. There are potential serious side effects and little evidence of benefit.
•ANTIBIOTICS. Still given too frequently when kids visit doctors, antibiotics do not work on viruses (which colds and flu are), only bacterial infections like strep throat and pneumonia.
More Tips:
•Stay at least three feet out of the blast zone of coughs and sneezes.
•It's 3 AM and your child needs a doctor: find one online at HEALTHTAP.COM
•Sore throat? Try JUST FOR KIDS organic teas.Homemade Feel-Better Brew
Recent science backs the theory that warm liquids can indeed provide immediate and sustained relief. When someone in my house is getting sick, we put on a pot of our go-to homemade brew:
2 cups of water combined with the juice of 1 lemon
zest from half that lemon
1/8 tsp. cayenne pepper
2 cloves chopped garlic
an inch of chopped fresh ginger
honey to taste (for kids over 1)
Bring to a boil, pour through a strainer, and serve with love and attention!

The only thing better than one Kermit is two. And the only thing better than two Kermits is one with a Russian accent. Throw Tina Fey into a gulag, force Ricky Gervais to play second fiddle to a nefarious frog, stick Ray Liotta in a chorus line and you have a sense of the zany extremes to be found in "Muppets Most Wanted."
After the magically nostalgic return of the fuzzy-wuzzies to the big screen in 2011's "The Muppets," it's natural to think of "Most Wanted" as a sequel. Don't. Even when the film kicks off with a glittery showstopping number poking fun at Hollywood's penchant for them.
This film is an entirely different creature than the gentle storybook tale that featured Jason Segel and Amy Adams teaming up with the puppets as they tried to resurrect their failing stage career.
Slightly more formulaic, "Most Wanted" as the name suggests, has the Muppets on the run instead of on the rise. It goes a bit gaga on the cameos, with Lady Gaga, Christoph Waltz, Sean Combs, Usher and Celine Dion among others.
There are nearly as many movie genres as famous faces hijacked for high jinks: It's a caper, it's a prison movie, it's a love story, it's a mistaken-identity story, there might be a wedding, there may be a heist, Interpol gets involved. Though there are many delicious little moments tucked inside, the action heads in so many directions it can be dizzying to keep up.
"Flight of the Conchords" co-creator James Bobin directs the film, as he did its predecessor, with a light touch. Bobin and Nicholas Stoller, who co-wrote "The Muppets" with Segel, craft the "Most Wanted" screenplay.
The caper begins as Dominic Badguy (Gervais), who is in collusion with the world's No. 1 criminal and Kermit lookalike, Constantine, persuades the Muppets to take their act abroad. In no time, Badguy (pronounced, with a bad French accent, Bad-gee) packs them onto an ancient train for a European tour filled with calamities, competing egos and Miss Piggy's ongoing quest to get Kermit to commit. How the train gets from Hollywood across the Atlantic is only one of many unsolved mysteries.
While Kermit, Miss Piggy, superfan turned Muppet member Walter and the rest of the Muppet regulars are putting the final touches on their road show, in a very distant Siberian gulag the inmates are stirring — and singing. Top prison guard Nadya (Fey) runs a tight ship, while she nurses a Broadway obsession. She completely misses the prison escape of Constantine, the film's scene-stealer fabulously voiced by Matt Vogel, who like many of the Muppets' alter egos, voices numerous characters.
Meanwhile in Paris, an Inspector Clouseau-ish Jean Pierre Napoleon (Ty Burrell) is not paying attention to anything beyond his well-manicured mustache and his terribly amusing French accent.
With all these planets in orbit, the filmmakers set about having them collide. It will involve Constantine masquerading as Kermit (Steve Whitmire) despite his complete lack of talent, the accent and a difficult-to-disguise beauty mark, while he puts in motion a major international heist.
Meanwhile Kermit, mistaken for Constantine, is sentenced to hard time in Siberia, where he helps Nadya stage a prison revue. Liotta and Danny Trejo are among the prisoners conscripted into the act. It's a hoot.
Indeed the musical numbers are responsible for much of the "Most Wanted" fun. Bret McKenzie, who won an original song Oscar for "The Muppets," is back contributing, as is Christophe Beck, who handles the score. Veteran choreographer Francesca Jaynes is footloose — there are stages danced on everywhere and the opener is a high-kicking classic.
Much of the Muppet charm is the way in which the puppets interact with one another and with humans as if there were no differences. That essential punch depends on interspecies chemistry. While not quite as explosive as "The Muppets," the interplay in "Most Wanted" is witty and smart. If anything, Fey, Gervais and Burrell are a bit too deferential to their costars.
Because of the mix of talent — both species and size — it is always a challenge to ensure the various realities are stitched together seamlessly. The terrain varies widely as the film moves between Hollywood, London, Berlin, Siberia, Spain and Dublin. The weather that accompanies is equally unpredictable. And yet director of photography Don Burgess, production designer Eve Stewart and costume designer Rahel Afiley do an excellent job of making "Most Wanted" visually pop.
With the film's sensibilities constantly shifting, the filmmakers forget to include as much of the emotional quotient as we expect from the Muppets. Underneath all that fuzz, their humanity is their heart. Still there is the real Kermit, and the fake Kermit with that Russian accent, so it is hard not to have a good time anyway.

A quick trip to Amsterdam for lunch and a wander around Albert Cuypstraat's market was very cheering .... I'm really looking forward to seeing someone carrying one of these bags over one shoulder this spring
and Disney-esque bluebirds being worn ( you'll find the tattoed lady's on her shoulder ) . Though the restaurant was so full I ended up at a table tucked under the stairs , the company was pleasant ,
and lunch delicious .
And , in a strange shop a bit further up the street , I found just the knife I've been hunting for ; devilishly sharp German steel , perfect for peeling potatoes ... and only a couple of Euros , so I bought two . Since the shop also stocked herbs and spices , a huge supply of fruit and herbal teas , old-fashioned sweets with names like Polkabrokken ( caramel cushions to chew or to melt in hot milk as a bedtime drink ) and Hete Bliksem ( Hot Lightening ) , sage-flavoured cough drops , an enormous range of whisks , garlic presses , cheese slicers , incense and brushes and , they boast , "592 other things " , I was there a while .
Oh , and the mice ? Well , I met YD later for a drink before I got the train back and as we sat in the covered terrace with some wine , we were startled to find a tiny brown mouse popping in and out between the tables . When a couple of women sitting at a table further up squeaked and fled , we realised that our mouse must have brought his mates with him ... a party , perhaps ... but there seemed to be enough room for everybody , so we finished our drinks in peace before we left .
Back at home , when not waving the flag for yet another Dutch skating medal ( we won't be asked next time , I fear ! ) .... I've been reading Rosie Tremain's Music And Silence ... and loving it .
But it's just as well Sochi ends this week . It's about time I got off my behind and stretched .....

Photographers Gather at Yosemite
Read the story. Click the "LISTEN" button at the bottom of the page to hear the story. When you are done, click the "NEXT" button.
Amateur photographers traveled to Yosemite National Park on September 15, 2005. They were trying to take the same picture as a famous photographer. His name was Ansel Adams. The picture he took was made on September 15, 1948.
The snapshot that Mr. Adams took was of the moon at night. It is a black and white picture. It has turned out to be a very famous picture. The photo shows the moon hanging in the sky. Mountains are below the moon. Adams named the photo "Autumn Moon." Park rangers expected a lot of photographers would go to Glacier Point. That is where Ansel Adams took the well-known picture.
Mr. Adams was known for his record-keeping. When he took a picture he wrote down details in his notebook. He noted the kind of camera settings and film he used. One thing he did not write down was the date that he took the photo. People are not sure when the picture was taken.
Some experts who study the stars have looked at Mr. Adams' picture. They wanted to learn when it was taken. They looked at the picture very closely. They measured the angles of the shadows. This helped them find out where the moon was in the sky. Next, they looked at old charts and maps of the stars. They figured out where the moon would have been when Mr. Adams took the picture. They think that the picture was taken on September 15, 1948. They also think the picture was taken at around 7 pm.
Every 19 years the moon is in the same position as it was in Mr. Adam's picture.

[All episodes now available] Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May return for a new season of the world's greatest show about three middle-aged men rampaging around the world, driving amazing cars, and engaging in a constant argument about which of them is the biggest idiot. Although it's also the only show that combines these things so the 'greatest' title is pretty much uncontested.
For the opening episode, We are in Switzerland where the presenters compare a Lamborghini Aventador S, a Honda NSX and an all-electric Croatian supercar called the Rimac Concept One in a battle of past, present and future. Richard's hillclimb takes an unexpected turn. And Ricky Wilson of The Voice UK and David Hasselhoff from America's Got Talent go head-to-head in the all-new Celebrity Face Off.
We are in New York to find the fastest way from the Big Apple to Niagara Falls in a race featuring Jeremy in the new Ford GT versus James May on public transportation, dragging an injured Richard Hammond. Also, Jeremy tests the Mercedes-AMG GT R at the Eboladrome, cricketer Kevin Pietersen goes against baseball's Brian Wilson in Celebrity Face Off, and The American test driver is replaced.
In this show Jeremy blasts from the South of France to the Alps and then on to Turin in the 1479 HP Bugatti Chiron, James races the Kia Stinger GT against skateboarders, and Richard tries to relieve the boredom of office lunchtimes with the all-new sport of car park racing. Plus, actor Hugh Bonneville goes against naturalist Casey Anderson to find the world's fastest person who lives with a bear
In this show The Grand Tour is in Croatia to make a completely unscripted film featuring Jeremy in an Audi TT RS, Richard in an Ariel Nomad, James making a fire engine out of an old Lada, and everyone trying to find a non-existent link between the three. Also in this episode, Richard tests the McLaren 720S and singers Michael Ball and Alfie Boe go head-to-head in Celebrity Face Off.
Jeremy Clarkson makes his own take on a Ken Block-style car skidding video, James May tests the new VW Up GTI at the Eboladrome, and Richard Hammond smashes around Dubai in a high-poweredtank called the Ripsaw. Plus, Preacher star Dominic Cooper goes against comedian Bill Bailey in Celebrity Face Off.
Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May try to prove that old Jaguars are not only stylish and roguish, but also strong and reliable with a road trip across Colorado featuring a dirt track, a dangerous runway and a brave attempt to go skiing in cars. Plus Luke Evans and Kiefer Sutherland go head-to-head in Celebrity Face Off.
Richard Hammond and James May relive the tedium of getting fuel by inventing a new system for filling up without stopping and Jeremy Clarkson recounts the epic battle between Audi and Lancia during the 1983 world rally championship. Plus, Hammond is at the Eboladrome to test the Lamborghini Huracan Performante and boxer Anthony Joshua goes up against WWE star Bill Goldberg in Celebrity Face Off.
Jeremy Clarkson and Richard Hammond tour Europe in brand new British sports cars built to designs from the 1950s, an undertaking spoilt by the arrival of James May in a modern Honda Civic Type R. Back in the UK, Jeremy is at the track to test the Ford GT, and Celebrity Face Off sees Stewart Copeland from The Police go head-to-head against Pink Floyd's Nick Mason in a battle of the drummers.
Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May attempt to build a road-legal amphibious car with which they can smash a British water speed record. Elsewhere in this show, Jeremy looks back at two 1990s supercars, the Jaguar XJ220 and Bugatti EB 110 SS, and Celebrity Face Off finds the world's fastest magician as Dynamo goes head-to-head against Penn & Teller.
The Grand Tour tests the Alfa Romeo Stelvio, Porsche Macan, and Range Rover Velar in the rugged and challenging landscape of Canada. Back in the UK, Jeremy conducts a legally perilous test of the Tesla Model X and Rory McIlroy takes on Paris Hilton in Celebrity Face Off.
In a mini special The Grand Tour decides to tackle world hunger by transporting fish from the bountiful coast of Mozambique to the impoverished interior using a Nissan pick-up, a Mercedes 200T, and a TVS Star motorcycle. Along the way they encounter mud, accidents, and fish preservation issues on what turns out to be an epic, challenging and extraordinary journey.
Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May return for a new season of the world's greatest show about three middle-aged men rampaging around the world, driving amazing cars, and engaging in a constant argument about which of them is the biggest idiot. Although it's also the only show that combines these things so the 'greatest' title is pretty much uncontested.

CUERDA SECA CERAMIC TILES: EXPLORATIONS OF RESIST FORMULAS IN VARIOUS FIRING RANGES by Carla Aubin Sotelo A Thesis Presented to the FACULTY OF THE USC SCHOOL OF ARCHITECTURE UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree MASTER OF HISTORIC PRESERVATION May 2012 Copyright 2012 Carla Aubin Sotelo

|In the 1920s and 1930s, residential and commercial buildings built in the popular Spanish and Moorish inspired designs throughout California were decorated with interior and exterior installations of cuerda seca art tiles. Decades later, replacement of damaged fabric, such as parts of tile schemes, forms a large part of the conservation and preservation ethic. How can preservation transpire if, in preservation, documenting details of aspects such as building conditions, materials, maintenance, etcetera are crucial and information about the materials, such as the cuerda seca resist formulations are unavailable? ❧ The goal of this thesis was replication of the cuerda seca resist using various proprietary formulas, commercially available and mixed based on historic information and empirical research to discover suitable black line resist formulas. Various oils (linseed oil and olive oil), oxides (black iron oxide and manganese dioxide), and fluxes, (lithium carbonate, soda ash, and borax) were tested with appropriate clay bodies and glazes for three firing ranges: cone 06, cone 5 and cone10. In all of the firing ranges tested, successful formulations were found and would be suitable for conservators to use to preserve the cuerda seca art tiles that already exist and for artists to use in order to preserve the cuerda seca tradition.

"Are, are you sure?" she asked quietly. She could almost see Jake's expression turn from joy to seriousness—she hated having him remember painful times. "Yeah, Kira," he said, his tone somber, but Kiralee noticed a hint of self-realization. "Yeah," he repeated, and she could hear his confident smile. "I'm fine." She smiled, relieved. "Well, then I believe I will be seeing you." He laughed, the somberness gone. "Alright, when will you be here?" "Well, I'll leave when my mom gets home…which will be soon. Probably fifteen minutes.

Nipissing tops a field of eight for Sunday's Woodbine Oaks
Spring in the Air, Nipissing tops a field of eight for Sunday's Woodbine Oaks, presented by Budweiser; Plate Trial also on Sunday at Woodbine
TORONTO, June 6 - John Oxley's Spring in the Air, last year's Sovereign Award winner as Canada's top juvenile filly, heads a field of eight Canadian-bred three-year-old fillies for Sunday's $500,000 Woodbine Oaks, presented by Budweiser.
CBC-TV will televise both the Plate Trial and Woodbine Oaks as part of a special live one-hour telecast from 4:00 p.m. -5:00 p.m. ET.
Oxley and trainer Mark Casse sent out last year's favourite in the Oaks in Dixie Strike, along with second choice Northern Passion, but could only finish fifth and second, respectively, to Irish Mission.
Spring in the Air enters the Oaks off a determined half-length win over Smartyfly in the seven-furlong Fury Stakes on May 4. It was her third start of the 2013 campaign after finishing second to stablemate Spring Venture in the Ocala Breeders Sales Championship Stake March 11, followed by a disappointing ninth place run to Emollient in the April 6 Ashland Stakes at Keeneland.
The bay filly, purchased for $130,000 at the 2012 Ocala Breeders Two-Year-Olds in Training Sale, is the field's leading money winner with $541,510.
With regular rider Patrick Husbands recuperating from an injury, Casse has secured the services of North America's leading money-winning jockey this year in Joel Rosario. Rosario, of course, piloted Orb to a popular score in the Kentucky Derby on May 4 and also was aboard Animal Kingdom for his brilliant win in the Dubai World Cup in March.
"I hope that she'll be an improved filly from that start," said Casse. "We're not sure why she didn't run better in the Ashland at Keeneland, but she's trained really well since then and if she brings her 'A' game, she's going to be very tough to beat. I'm not worried about the distance at all."
Chiefswood Stable has two viable homebred Oaks candidates in Nipissing and Original Script.
Nipissing, trained by Rachel Halden, was unbeaten in four starts last season, highlighted by her gritty win in the prestigious Princess Elizabeth Stakes. The daughter of Chiefswood's 2004 Plate winner Niigon has started twice this year, finishing a sixth (ahead of Spring in the Air) to Emollient in the Ashland at Keeneland in April, before most recently winding up the runner-up to Coffee Clique in the mile and one-sixteenth Selene Stakes, May 19, while giving the winner seven pounds.
To be ridden as usual by Steven Bahen, who won the 1996 Oaks aboard Silent Fleet, Nipissing will try to duplicate the feat of Roan Inish, the 2010 Oaks winner who also scored in the Princess Elizabeth as a juvenile. Overall, the bay filly has won four of six starts and $334,430.
"A mile and an eighth definitely suits her," said Bahen. "Even in the Selene, she galloped out with the winner. Hopefully we get a good break and get position so all she has to do is run down the lane."
Original Script, a daughter of Malibu Moon, will be handled by Jesse Campbell, who was aboard for all three of her starts last year, including two wins and a stakes placing to Aunt Els in the Ontario Lassie.
This year, the Paul Attard trainee enters the Oaks off a front-running score in an allowance contest on May 18 over one and one-sixteenth miles. She had made her seasonal debut in the Gulfstream Oaks on March 30 at Gulfstream Park, but was a victim of Dreaming of Julia's monstrous 22-length romp when finishing sixth.
Trainer Malcolm Pierce will send out a pair of Sam-Son Farm homebreds in Smartyfly and Dance Again.
Smartyfly, a daughter of Smart Strike, pushed Spring in the Air to the limit in the Fury Stakes, May 4, closing for second, just a half-length in arrears. A one-time winner in five career starts, including a third place finish to Nipissing in last year's Princess Elizabeth while still a maiden, Smartyfly will be ridden by Eurico Rosa da Silva.
Sam-Son Farm will be seeking a record eighth win in the Oaks, following Classy 'n Smart (1984), Tilt My Halo (1988), Tiffany's Secret (1990), Dance Smartly (1991), Catch The Ring (2000), Dancethruthedawn (2001) and Eye of the Sphynx (2004).
Dance Again, a daughter of 1997 Queen's Plate winner Awesome Again, is a one-time winner in five starts but will be making her debut on Polytrack. She's raced four times on the grass but broke her maiden in February on the main track at Fair Grounds in New Orleans. Shaun Bridgmohan rides.
Rounding out the field are Pink Trillium, Tiz Ro and Rutherford Road

For six years the Dutch photographer Willeke Duijvekam followed the lives of Mandy and Eva, documenting their inner and outer attempts to align their sex assignments at birth with their gender identity — both girls were born as boys.
"Willeke Duijvekam reveals how for both girls the radical transformation into self-confident young women was chiefly an internal process. Her subdued photographs show how Mandy and Eva are absorbed in their everyday activities, or in their own thoughts. They are two remarkably normal girls — the one more vivacious, the other quieter — who do nothing other than live according to the dictates of their feelings." (Source)
Duijvekam presents this series as an ingenious photo book, Mandy and Eva. The best designs enhance the subject matter, bringing new interpretations and depth to the work without taking over the narrative. In Duijvekam's book, the subtle photos of the two transgender girls are incorporated into an interleaved book. In the video of the book, the pages are separate but related, each girl always present in the other's spreads, advancing and retreating at the turn of a page. It is a masterful match of form and content. The book progresses backward through time, reversing the expected progression and reinforcing that these are two girls. The bodies that they were born into are much less important than the bodies in which they have become themselves.
"In my work I am guided by what moves and surprises me. … Ideas for projects are constantly unfolding and possibilities reveal themselves around every corner. The trick is to be open enough to recognize them the moment they appear and driven enough to pursue them. Diversity is what draws me to the people I meet, but at the same time I'm fascinated by our similarities."

It is challenging to find a ringing in the ears treatment that works for everyone. Since the tinnitus causes are different from person to person, this is take place. But lots of individuals don't discover a cause for their weird sound in their ears so they might never ever really understand exactly ways to treat their tinnitus.

June 17, 2009
BOSTON, MA - The University of Massachusetts Boston has announced its 2009 Athletic Hall of Fame class today, naming Leo Dawson, Andreen Gilpin, Brian Leahy, Ed Miller, Quazi Sadruzzaman, Pat Sperduto and Wayne Starkey along with the 1967-68 Boston State College men's ice hockey team, as its new inductees. The electees were voted in by a 13-member Hall of Fame committee in May and will be formally inducted at a ceremony on October 14, 2009 at 6:00 p.m. in the Campus Center ballroom on the campus of UMass Boston. For ticket information please contact David Marsters at 617-287-7802.
The Hall of Fame recognizes and honors former outstanding UMass Boston/Boston State College student-athletes, coaches, administrators and friends of the athletic program for their accomplishments and services to the Department of Athletics.
Leo Dawson is known as one of the greatest defenseman in Boston State College men's lacrosse history. He was a Co-Captain on the 1974 team that compiled an 11-3 mark and captured the United States Intercollegiate Lacrosse Association Colonial League Championship. The Warriors also made an appearance in the ECAC Division III Championship Tournament that year as Dawson earned All-New England and All-Colonial League honors as well as a spot on the New England Division I College All-Star Game roster. These accolades were not new to Dawson, who helped Boston State register a 28-13 record during his three-year career, as he was named to the All-Colonial League team the prior year as a junior. He was an integral part of the 1972 team that finished with an 11-2 record and the USILA Colonial League crown. The Warriors advanced to the quarterfinals in their first appearance in the USILA National Championship Tournament that year, due in large part to Dawson and the defense's tremendous feat of allowing just 4.1 goals per game. Following his 1974 graduation from Boston State, Dawson Leo continued his playing career with the Brine Lacrosse Club of Cambridge, Massachusetts in the United States Club Lacrosse Association from 1975-1982. He and fellow Warrior lacrosse players, Bill Rafuse and John Yeager led the Brine team to the 1976 USCLA National Championship Tournament in Baltimore, Maryland, where they advanced to the title game, before falling to the Mount Washington Lacrosse Club. When he wasn't playing lacrosse he was coaching it as Assistant Coach for Gordie Webb at Boston State College from 1974-1976 and later as the Varsity Head Lacrosse Coach at Merrimack College from 1976-1982. His 1979 Merrimack team earned the New England Lacrosse Coaches Association, Most Improved Team Award. Dawson remained in the game following his coaching career as a referee at the NCAA level for 10 years and is presently the Principal of the Atlantic Benefits Group in West Chester, Pennsylvania.
The art of rebounding the basketball and Andreen Gilpin go hand-in-hand. Gilpin stands as UMass Boston's all-time leading rebounder with 1,342 boards for her career, which also ranks her 12th in NCAA Division III history as does her 13.2 rebounds per game. The post player ripped down 15.7 caroms per outing during her senior campaign to lead the nation and establish a school record with 408 total rebounds, while also averaging 16.2 points per game to give her 422 points on the season to become the only player in school history with over 400 points and rebounds in a season. A 2004 graduate of UMass Boston, Gilpin is also the only player in UMB history to post 300 or more points and 300 or more rebounds in three different campaigns. She showcased her rebounding prowess early in her career when she pulled down an NCAA Division II/III record 38 rebounds during her freshman year vs. Rivier College on February 11, 1999 and went on to post four of the top nine season rebound totals in school annals. The Boston native averaged 13.7 rebounds during her rookie season and ranked 18th in the nation with 11.9 as a sophomore and 15th with 11.8 the following year. Gilpin was named a Little East Conference All-Star three times to become just the fourth Beacon to earn the honor at least three times, including twice as a First Team selection. She was a force on the offensive end of the court as well for UMass Boston, averaging 12.6 points in 102 games for a total of 1,380 to rank third on the UMass Boston career scoring list and posted 61 double-doubles (points-rebounds) during her career. She improved her accuracy at the line throughout her tenure at UMB, sinking 346 free throws for the most in school history and capped her career with the sixth-most efficient season percentage in school history as a senior. Gilpin altered opponents' offense in the paint as well with 125 career blocked shots to stand fourth on the Beacons' career list.
Brian Leahy is known as the "Godfather of Boston State College Football". Following a two-year football career at Boston College and a tour of duty in Vietnam for the United States Marines, Leahy earned his degree from Boston State College in 1971. In the time he spent with the Warriors, he was the driving force behind the school's football program becoming a reality. Leahy, who was the BSC Student Government President in 1969-70, gained approval from Athletic Director James P. "Gus" Sullivan and the Board of Trustees to begin a football program with entry on the club level for the 1970 season. He raised the funding, solicited players, secured playing fields and developed a schedule, all while leading the team as an offensive lineman. He was named the Captain and Most Valuable Player for the team as well. His vision became a reality the following season when the Warriors were granted NCAA varsity status following his graduation. Leahy also competed as a heavyweight for the 1970-71 wresting squad that finished with an 8-5 record and a second place showing in the New England State College Athletic Conference Tournament. He received his Master's Degree from Boston State as well and in the 30 years before passing away in January of 2009, he was the Retirement Director for the Massachusetts Water Resources Authority, Manager of Mayor Kevin White's Little City Hall in Dorchester, a community activist in Neponset and a legendary Coach in Dorchester youth sports. Known as the" Mayor of Dorchester, he could also be seen making his traditional New Year's Day swim with the L Street Brownies in his beloved Dorchester Bay.
Legendary Boston State College Head Men's Basketball Coach Jim Loscutoff said, "Ed is doing what no other player before him has done for me at State. He takes complete control of the coaching while on the floor. He is like a general out there, he really takes command". That's high praise for Ed Miller, considered one of the greatest point guards in Boston State history. The guard helped the Warriors to a 56-25 three-year record, good for a .691 winning percentage. Miller was the Most Valuable Player as Boston State's Co-Captain in 1970-71, while leading the squad to a 20-7 record and its first-ever New England State College Athletic Conference Championship. He netted 22 points and dished for a pair of assists in the semifinal contest vs. Rhode Island College, en-route to the title and was later named All-New England following the campaign. Miller led that team with 3.5 assists to go with a career-high 16.4 points per game to as the team's second-leading scorer and poured in a career-high 39 points vs. Bentley, earlier in the season. He finished the season with a .752 (124-165) free throw mark and never shot lower than 70% from the line in any season during his career to finish with a career percentage of .753 (216-287). His 175 lifetime assists stood as the highest total of any player in BSC history at the time to go with 762 points in 80 games. Miller finished his career with one season of baseball for Boston State as a shortstop. Following his 1971 graduation from BSC, he compiled a 275-130 (.680) record as a Head High School Varsity Boys Basketball Coach with stints at North Quincy (1972-87) and Marshfield (1987-94), before becoming the Director of Athletics for Marshfield Public Schools from 1992-99. He assumed the same position for Quincy Public Schools from 1999-2006 as well. He has remained a prominent figure in youth basketball circles, serving as a Vice-Chairman for the Massachusetts Interscholastic Athletic Association Basketball Committee, President of the Suburban League Coaches Association, Atlantic Coast League Athletic Directors and the International Association of Approved Basketball Officials Board 54 Basketball Officials. Miller is being inducted into his third hall of fame with membership as one of the elite for the Massachusetts High School Basketball Coaches and North Quincy High School Athletic Halls of Fame.
Quazi Sadruzzaman is the greatest men's tennis singles player in UMass Boston history. Period. He is the only player in history to win the Little East Conference Flight One Singles Championship all four times and also captured the Flight One Doubles crown with partner Dat Nguyen in 2004 to give him five overall LEC titles. A four-time LEC Player of the Week, Sadruzzaman played all 56 of his singles matches from the number one spot in the lineup and won 50 of them for an astounding winning percentage of .893 for the highest mark of any player at UMB with over 20 matches played. His win total is also the most in school annals. The netter didn't just win matches, he dominated them. From April 27, 2002 to May 8, 2004, he won 28 straight singles contests to go undefeated for the final two and a half seasons of his career and won 25 of those matches in straight sets, including a string of 17 straight outings, where he dropped no more than four games in a set. Sadruzzaman made it his trademark to play short matches, having won 44 of his matches in straight sets and proved to be tough even in defeat, taking his opponent to three sets in half of his six losses. His success wasn't limited to singles play as evidenced by a 36-17 record in doubles action for a .679 career winning percentage to rank eighth among players with two or more seasons at UMB. A 2004 UMass Boston graduate, his victory total in doubles play stands as the second most in school history and contributes to an overall combined record of 86-23 for a .789 winning mark to rank first in combined wins and fourth in combined winning percentage for players with two or more seasons for the Beacons. A native of Bangladesh, who immigrated to the United States in 1994, he finished his collegiate career in style, posting a 24-3 combined record as a senior for an impressive .889 winning percentage and won 12 consecutive matches to close out his career, including six in doubles play.
UMass Boston's football program began in the mid 1980s as a club program, before reaching NCAA varsity status in 1988. Pat Sperduto saw action on the club team, before playing two impressive seasons at the varsity level in 1988 and 1989 at linebacker and fullback for the Beacons. He led the team with 75 tackles, including 43 solos and six sacks during the 1988 season and gained 33 yards on 10 carries as well. Sperduto enjoyed an outstanding senior campaign, leading the team with 96 tackles, including 54 solos and five sacks to go with a pair of fumble recoveries and was named to the New England Football Conference First Team for his efforts. He graduated from UMass Boston in 1989 and still ranks third on the school's all-time sack list with 11 in just two seasons. He continued his playing career following his time at UMB with a stint in the Canadian Football League with the British Colombia Lions, before joining the Tampa Bay Storm of the Arena Football League from 1991-93, where he helped them win a pair of ArenaBowls. He also began his coaching career during this time as an assistant with Murray State University, prior to taking over football operations for the American Sports Foundation of Macelatta in Tolentino, Italy in 1992. He began to focus solely on his coaching career as an assistant for the Storm in 1994 and 1995, helping them to another ArenaBowl crown in 1995. He spent 1996 as the defensive coordinator and director of player personnel for the Connecticut Coyotes (AFL) prior to joining the Nashville Kats' staff in 1997. He was the defensive coordinator and player personnel director during the 1997 season and was elevated to assistant head coach/defensive coordinator for the 1998 campaign. He guided the Kats to a 27-15 mark over the next three seasons and led them to a pair of ArenaBowl appearances. Following the sale of the franchise, Sperduto joined the Tennessee Titans of the National Football League in 2001 as a member of the coaching/scouting staff until 2008. During this time, the Kats returned to Nashville and Sperduto took over the coaching reins again for the next three seasons, before moving on to his current position as a scout for the Kansas City Chiefs.
Wayne Starkey made an impact on both ends of the ice for Boston State College and is considered one of the best offensive defensemen in school history. The blueliner was a part of two historic Warrior teams, having made a significant contribution to the 1965-66 team that finished with a 20-0-0 mark and a number one national ranking with 15 points on nine goals and six assists and the 1967-68 team that finished fourth in the country after advancing to the national semifinals with 17 points, including five scores and a career-high 12 assists. Starkey played on Boston State's top penalty killing unit for his entire career and stands third among the school's defensemen with 68 career points. He also ranks seventh among BSC blueliners with 32 assists and second with 36 goals, including a school-record total of three goals in one period during the 1966-67 campaign. He was named All-East and All-New England following his senior year that saw him lead the Warriors' defensemen with a career-best 21 points on 10 goals and 11 assists. He also helped Boston State to a fourth straight Codfish Bowl Championship, while being named ECAC Player of the Week for the third time in his career. He helped the Warriors to compile a 58-34-1 mark during his 90-game career and graduated from BSC in 1969. Following his time at State, Starkey served his country for the Army from 1970-72 and was a member of the Honor Guard at Arlington National Cemetery in 1972. He has stayed active in amateur leagues for parts of 17 years and has served his community as a Eucharistic Minister for Infant Jesus Church in Port Jefferson, New York and for Special Ministry to Echo Arms Adult Home. He is also a member of the Board of Directors for the Knights of Columbus.
Boston State College has produced its share of great teams, but it wasn't until the 1967-68 Boston State College Men's Ice Hockey Team that the school would see its athletes compete in the national semifinals. The Warriors finished with a 16-9-1 record for Head Coach Ed Barry that season and defeated Salem State College, 4-3, on Captain Bob Cunio's overtime goal to capture the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics Eastern Regional Championship and earn the right to represent the East in the inaugural NAIA National Championship in Saint Paul, MN. Boston State would join Bemidji State College, Lake Superior State College and Gustavus Adolphus College in the final four, before falling to Bemidji State in the semifinals and Gustavus Adolphus in the consolation game to finish fourth in the nation. The Warriors enjoyed some memorable victories along the way that year, winning the Third Annual Codfish Bowl with a 5-4 triumph over University of Massachusetts Amherst, behind the goaltending of tournament Most Valuable Player, Bill Berglund. Boston State also took down Division II national powerhouses University of Vermont, Norwich University, Oswego State and Bowdoin College. The team's offense averaged over five goals per game and was led by sensational leading scorer Terry Barry (20-19-39), Cunio (8-20-28), Dick Leahy (16-19-35), Edward Sullivan (15-14-29), Dick Kelley (7-21-28), Bob Russell (13-14-27) and Gerry Geary (10-14-24). The defense, anchored by Berglund, an NAIA All-American, allowed just three goals per outing. Berglund was backed by a defensive unit that included Wayne Starkey, Kelley, Richard Craven, Joseph Campbell, Lamont Barry and one of the best checking lines in the nation with Joseph McLean, David Crusco and Timothy Murphy. Other members of the team included George Anastas, Jim Danahy, Carl DeSimone, Howard Duvall, Ronald Favreau, Paul Lentini, Kevin McLatchy, John Wappel and team managers Peter Golden and Robert Reardon.

Sign Up Now To Paint The 'M'SOCORRO, N.M. October 14, 2011 – Calling all Techies!
The annual ritual of hiking up Socorro Peak and painting the 'M' is next week. Students are encouraged to make the 2.5 mile trek up the mountain and help give the iconic letter a fresh coat of "paint" (it's lime mixed with water, actually). Faculty, staff, alumni and community members are invited to participate as well.
Another new feature this year is that the Vigilante Band -- made up of Tech graduates -- will entertain with a special unplugged set atop the mountain while hikers eat their lunches.
|Students make the final ascent to the 'M' during the 2010 49ers.
The terrain is rugged and the weather is expected to be sunny and hot. Hikers should wear closed-toe shoes and sunscreen. The fastest hikers – those running up the mountain, that is – will finish in less than an hour; normal humans should expect to be hiking for 1.5 to 2 hours. Water will be provided. All participants must sign a release form. To facilitate a timely start Friday morning, people are encouraged to sign and return the form before the event. By registering via email, Tech will send the form via return email.
All hikers should gather at 9 a.m. at the Athletic Field. Tech will bus hikers to the base of the mountain. The first 20 individuals and teams (of students) to reach the 'M' with a bag of lime will receive $50. All students who make the climb will get some freebies – a commemorative T-shirt, a hat and other goodies. All participants will get a hamburger lunch at the staging area just below the 'M.' Tech will provide transportation via vans back to campus as hikers finish their lunch.
Techies first surveyed the peak and laid out the 'M' in 1911. For this year's centennial celebration, Dr. Van Romero is mobilizing the troops to give the iconic letter a facelift.
"This is an important milestone," said Romero, the Vice President of Research and a Tech graduate. "We're pulling out all the stops this year to make the Paint the 'M' event as memorable as possible."
Romero hopes that moving the event to Friday will encourage more students to participate. "Many students are worn out by Sunday morning. I'm hoping we can catch Techies before they spend all weekend celebrating. This can be the beginning of a great weekend," he said.
Romero has enlisted the assistance of a surveying class in the mineral engineering department to re-mark the edges of the letter. Chemical engineering faculty and EMRTC staff are investigating new materials and methods of painting, expecting to make the 'M' stay whiter throughout the year. Students will be encouraged to help carry materials up the mountain, mix the paint and then paint the 'M.'
Participation in the annual event had dwindled over the previous decade – until last year, when more than 150 students made the hike up the mountain. This year, Romero hopes to have more than 200 students, alumni and employees pitching in to help. He has also invited local residents to participate by hiking the mountain and helping whitewash the 'M.'
"Painting the 'M' is much like going to school at Tech – it's difficult, but worth the effort," Romero said. "Every student should experience this at least once during their career here. I'd like to see more students get involved. It's a great tradition and I hope we get a great turnout this year."

Alyssa Olson Honored Twice, March 7, 2000
SOCORRO, N.M., March 7, 2000 -- Many New Mexico Tech students distinguish themselves while attending the university or do so later in their professional careers, but Tech graduate student Alyssa J. Olson is one of the few who can say she's done both at the same time.
Olson, who currently is pursuing a master of science degree in hydrology at New Mexico Tech, was named the Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) "Student of the Month" in a recent issue of The LANL Newsbulletin. (Scroll about halfway down for article on Olson.)
In addition to being a Tech grad student, Olson also is one of LANL's graduate research students who is employed through the national lab's prestigious Pipeline Student Program -- an initiative developed to help talented and motivated secondary and post-secondary students identify and secure placement in progressively more challenging educational, student employment, and career opportunities in science, mathematics, engineering, technology, or other fields crucial to LANL.
The American Geophysical Union (AGU) also recently chose to honor Olson by naming her as one of the dozen or so nationwide recipients of the AGU Hydrology Section's "Outstanding Student
Paper" award.
Olson's research paper, "Convective Transport in a Cavity/Chimney System after an Underground Nuclear Test," done in collaboration with fellow LANL researchers, was presented at the AGU Fall Meeting in San Francisco this past December.
"Alyssa Olson is one of the best students I have ever had the pleasure of working with," says Andrew Wolfsberg, Olson's research mentor at LANL, who also is one of the co-authors of her award-winning paper.
"This truly is an honor for the Laboratory to have Alyssa working here and bringing home such a distinguished award," Wolfsberg adds.
The research work which Olson presented in her paper at the AGU Fall Meeting involves the development of computer models that simulate groundwater flow and the transport of chemicals in groundwater.
Her thesis work at New Mexico Tech, being completed under the direction of Tech hydrology professor Fred M. Phillips, entails analyzing carbon and oxygen isotopes in lake sediments to determine ancient climate records for mid-continental regions.
When Olson isn't working on her thesis or research work at LANL, she also finds time to volunteer as a tutor at Santa Clara Pueblo in northern New Mexico.

This is probably the shortest Presto Pasta Night Roundup since I started it back in 2007. It even took me some effort to come up with my own pasta dish this week. What with American Thanksgiving over and everyone eating turkey leftovers, plus the rush of holiday gift shopping and baking, it's no wonder there's little time to whip up something over the top.
So hats off and a HUGE thanks to Tigerfish and Jamie for coming up with super easy and super satisfying dishes to get us all through the season.
Tigerfish of Teczcape has the absolute perfect dish for this time of year... something quick to prepare and nourishing for both body and soul... Chicken & Vegetable Soba Noodle Soup. Cold and dreary days be gone!
Cookin' With Moxie... and next week's Presto Pasta Night host... used my favorite ingredients... mushrooms, Italian sausages, and a new red sauce for a very interesting Spaghetti alla Salsiccia. that doesn't take the usual two hours to simmer the ragout but packs an awesome punch.

Why See Five Finger Death Punch?
A Punch to the Gut
As the name suggests, Five Finger Death Punch aren't your grandmother's band. Named after the nifty and deadly martial arts technique in Tarantino's Kill Bill, this heavy metal fivesome formed in Las Vegas in 2005 and have been climbing the metal ranks ever since. Led by vocalist Ivan Moody, Five Finger Death Punch are renowned for their ferocious stage presence and expert blending of thrash, alt rock and classic metal elements.
Heading out on quite a trek this year in support of 2017's Greatest Hits and their upcoming seventh album release, the much anticipated 'and justice for none'. Now multi-platinum sellers, the guys will be joined by Shinedown May 6 - 20 and then will pair up with Breaking Benjamin November 6 - December 12.

Deacon Steve: A Threefold Ministry
Deacon Stephen Hodges
Ordained 2008
Pastoral Associate
SS. Peter & Paul Cathedral Indianapolis, IN
For the past 15 years, Steve Hodges of Greenwood, IN, had been looking for ways to be more involved in his parish and in his faith. So when the Archdiocese of Indianapolis established a permanent deacon program in 2003, Steve and his wife, Mary, attended the first information session.
"From the moment we walked into that room, it just seemed like that was what I was supposed to do," recalls Steve. Eventually, he and 24 other men were selected for the first class of candidates to begin a formation program to prepare them for ordination.
The program is designed and delivered by Saint Meinrad Seminary and School of Theology, which began its Permanent Deacon Formation Program in 1999. A diocese selects its candidates for the program, and Saint Meinrad provides the formation on location in the diocese.
Steve's class was typical. They began once-a-month weekend classes in September 2004 and continued for four years, taking summers off. In addition, Steve continued his fulltime work of representing firms that make commercial kitchen equipment and furniture for the hospitality industry.
The program was rigorous, Steve says. Classes began on Friday night and continued all day Saturday and until mid-afternoon Sunday. "In between, we'd have books to read and different assignments."
He adds, "The first weekend of class was probably the biggest shock for most of us. Most of us hadn't been in college for 20-some years."
He found the courses on Scripture to be particularly meaningful. "They really prepared us for what we, as deacons, need to do with the Word. Deacons have a threefold ministry. We have a ministry of charity, which is really our primary thing, but we also have the ministry of Word and the ministry of liturgy."
A better understanding of Scripture also was valuable in learning to preach. Although the formation program is held in the diocese, an intensive homiletics component takes place on the Saint Meinrad campus, where the men take advantage of a state-of-the-art homiletics facility.
With a laugh, Steve recalls the unease he felt about preaching. "I think preaching can be very intimidating. And that's one thing that when I got into the program, I thought, 'You know, God, you're calling me to do this and I'm a pretty competent guy, but when it comes to preaching….'"
"Having four years of studies helped. Having a major emphasis on Scripture helped and then we also went through the homiletics week at Saint Meinrad." During that time, each man wrote and delivered homilies, which were videotaped and critiqued by their peers and the homiletics faculty.
In addition to academics, the program takes a holistic view of formation, focusing on spiritual development, ministry experiences and even human factors such as nutrition and exercise. The candidates are encouraged to attend Mass often, meet regularly with a spiritual director and pray daily the Liturgy of the Hours.
To gain practical experience, Steve participated in jail ministry. "About twice a month, I would go to the local county jail and do communion services for some of the offenders. We would read Scripture. We would read the readings for the following Sunday and reflect upon those.
"We would always have some opportunity for sharing. I found it to be very useful, especially when we were taking our Scripture studies. It was amazing to me how many times I'd read the readings and say, 'We studied about this.' You could talk about some of those things you learned about Scripture and how God speaks to us through His words."
He also took part in hospital visits and was the spiritual director for his parish's Christ Renews His Parish team. "It would give you a different flavor, different experiences. As we're going through formation, we could work on some things and experience some things that we would probably do once we're ordained," he explains.
Steve and his classmates were ordained in June 2008. His first assignment was at nearby St. Rose of Lima Parish in Franklin. Besides assisting at Mass, he preached about once a month and continued his jail ministry, an outreach of the parish in recent years. He is now assigned to Saints Francis and Clare Parish in Greenwood.
Deacon Steve is also the chaplain for the Indianapolis chapter of Courage, a Church-sanctioned support group for men and women who struggle with same-sex attraction. He's led the group since its inception in 2008.
"Saint Meinrad's program was well done," says Steve. "We had some excellent instructors. We were fortunate. We were really blessed."

Alex and Sarah's Seafoam Green Kitchen
Alex and Sarah's Los Angeles home is a tribute to their well-traveled life. Their style (described as "world traveling eclectic with a handcrafted modern twist") features lots of texture, pattern, color, natural materials, and ethnic accents. The couple tells Apartment Therapy that friends often remark on the wonderful shade of seafoam green in their kitchen! We're certainly smitten with it.
The decorative accents in the adjoining dining room are also eye-catching. Pretty patterned bowls and dishes, photos, books, and other travel souvenirs line the bookshelf, and together with the bright orange chairs create a cozy, yet vibrant space for eating and entertaining.

Languages as Libraries, PLDI 2011
posted by Sam Tobin-Hochstadt
We've just finished up the final version of our PLDI 2011 paper on language extension in Racket. The paper describes how the module system and the syntax system work together to support new languages with new static semantics, such as Typed Racket. Here's the abstract:
Programming language design benefits from constructs for extending the syntax and semantics of a host language. While C's string-based macros empower programmers to introduce notational shorthands, the parser-level macros of Lisp encourage experimentation with domain-specific languages. The Scheme programming language improves on Lisp with macros that respect lexical scope.
The design of Racket—a descendant of Scheme—goes even further with the introduction of a full-fledged interface to the static semantics of the language. A Racket extension programmer can thus add constructs that are indistinguishable from "native" notation, large and complex embedded domain-specific languages, and even optimizing transformations for the compiler backend. This power to experiment with language design has been used to create a series of sub-languages for programming with first-class classes and modules, numerous languages for implementing the Racket system, and the creation of a complete and fully integrated typed sister language to Racket's untyped base language.
This paper explains Racket's language extension API via an implementation of a small typed sister language. The new language provides a rich type system that accommodates the idioms of untyped Racket. Furthermore, modules in this typed language can safely exchange values with untyped modules. Last but not least, the implementation includes a type-based optimizer that achieves promising speedups. Although these extensions are complex, their Racket implementation is just a library, like any other library, requiring no changes to the Racket implementation.
To learn how to implement your own new language in Racket, start with this documentation.

1 minute 1 second increment
Hi, I would like to request some 1 minute + 1 second increment games. This will force people to play "real" chess moves, even in bullet games. Some players will any move, as long as its fast, sometimes even giving up there queen. This not chess. I like the 1 minute games, but let's have the 1 second increment, so we can have a "real" chess competition!
