N. M. Tech Part of New Water Resources Center, Aug. 11, 1999
New Mexico Tech is one of several universities and institutions that are part of a new Science and Technology Center (STC) that will develop ways to efficiently manage water resources in semi-arid regions. The University of Arizona in Tucson is the lead institution in the $16 million, multi-university center.
Professor Soroosh Sorooshian, of UA Hydrology and Water Resources, will direct the new National Science Foundation (NSF) center. It will include researchers and students from several colleges at UA, as well as those from several other universities, government agencies and private institutions.
The world's water resources are under extreme stress in many semi-arid regions because of rapid development, variations in climate and disruptions caused by long-term climate change. Sustaining these resources through the 21st century will depend on correctly managing water resources systems, Sorooshian says.
Developing water management strategies demands integrating and accommodating a wide variety of needs, both environmental and human. To do this, the STC will set research priorities by regularly bringing together researchers and those who use the water resources.
STC researchers plan to rapidly transfer what they learn to those who can apply it to water resources management. Among the users now active in the center are the Salt River Project in Arizona, the Elephant Butte Irrigation District in New Mexico and the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California. As the research program evolves, other domestic and international water users will be added to this list.
Since a large number of researchers from diverse locations are involved, the center will be able to investigate larger, more complex problems than can be addressed by individuals or small groups working in a local area.
Center researchers plan to study riparian systems and the various aspects of water and salinity balance on a basin-wide scale. Then these results will be used to develop basin-scale hydrologic and chemical models.
Social science research will focus on demographic and economic shifts, changing legal structures and economic markets for water. It also will look at changing public attitudes toward sustainable water management.
Ultimately, the center will develop numerical models and decision-making tools that will allow users to optimally manage limited water supplies. In addition, the STC will develop educational programs for use in science education programs.
The center aims to educate a new generation of water resources managers, giving them an interdisciplinary perspective and new technological skills and tools.
The $16 million will fund center operations for five years.
Participating academic institutions include:
- New Mexico Tech
- Penn State University
- The University of California (UCLA, Scripps and Riverside)
- Columbia University Biosphere 2
- The University of New Mexico
- Arizona State University
- Northern Arizona University
- The Desert Research Institute
- The Instituto Mexicano de Tecnologia del Agua
- The Instituto el Medro Ambiente y Desanollo Sustenable del Estado de Sonora.
Participating government institutions include:
- Los Alamos National Laboratory
- The U.S. Geological Survey
- The Agricultural Research Service
- The Army Corps of Engineers
- The International Boundary and Water Commission
Participating private, non-profit organizations include: World Laboratory of Lausanne, Switzerland.
Formation of the center involved a rigorous review process. NSF received more than 280 pre-proposals when it called for ideas for new centers in 1997. Of these, 44 were invited to submit full proposals. After further review, 16 teams were selected for on-site visits earlier this year. Of those, five were selected as Science and Technology Centers.
These are potentially ten-year centers. They will be reviewed for additional funding after five years.
Program guidelines allow funding up to $20 million for each center, but the final awards are subject to negotiation between NSF and the lead institutions. In addition, in-kind contributions such as matching funds and equipment brought to the centers by partners can raise their total value well beyond the monetary awards.
NSF established the Science and Technology Center program in 1987 in response to a presidential commitment to fund important fundamental research activities that also create educational opportunities. The program also is designed to encourage technology transfer and provide innovative approaches to interdisciplinary research challenges. These are the first new STC awards in eight years.

In spite of countless health care reform efforts over many decades, uneven quality, frequent errors, and high and rising costs continue to plague the U.S. and countries around the globe. The status quo is untenable, and everyone—providers, health plans, employers, governments, and most of all, patients—will suffer if we fail to fundamentally change our approach.
Solving our health care crisis begins with getting all stakeholders to agree on a single overarching goal: improving the quality of care delivered for each dollar spent. Competition has failed in health care for the simple reason that it is based upon entirely wrong metrics. We must reorient health care around value for patients, rather than current drivers like geography or the discounts negotiated by insurers. Only then can we create a system that delivers sustained improvements in quality and efficiency.

On Edwin Markham's "The Man with a Hoe"
David R. Weimer
For the present, I wish only to illustrate what may be done in the reconstruction of labor history by using kinds of materials and of interpretation not ordinarily treated as relevant to this pursuit, and by setting forth the worker's attitudes toward something quite inadequately described in existing studiesthe worker, himself, as a human being. Our microcosm will be the American Federation of Labor from its origins in 1881 to World War I, in the green years when trade-union leaders began seriously to challenge the narrow business ideals that had made employers temporarily strong.
Two poems by the minor American poet Edwin Markham (1857-1940) can help bring us to the mind and imagination of the AFL leadership. One of the poems, "The Man under the Stone," appeared at the top of the first page in the official AFL monthly magazine, the American Federationist, for July 1899. The full text is as follows:
When I see a workingman with mouths to feed,
Up, day after day, in the dark, before the dawn,
And coming home, night after night, through
the dusk,
Swinging forward like some fierce, silent animal,
I see a man doomed to roll a huge stone up an
endless steep.
He strains it onward inch by stubborn inch,
Crouched always in the shadow of the rock....
See where he crouches, twisted, cramped, misshapen!
He lifts for their life;
The veins knot and darken
Blood surges into his face.
Now he losesnow he wins
Now he losesloses(God of my soul!)
He digs his feet into the earth
There's a moment of terrified effort
Will the huge stone break his hold,
And crush him as it plunges to the gulf?
The silent struggle goes on and on,
Like two contending in a dream.
The overt conflict is simply enough conceived in this melodrama. The workerappropriately not a union man but a "workingman"is described as a beast whose existence is one of perpetual physical labor. His toil and even his appearance call to mind "some fierce, silent animal," not a man. He has a family, but the members exist only as "mouths to feed." Unselfish as he is, slaving "for their life," his progress is nevertheless uncertain. For the AFL unionist, the major conflict in the poem would not have been between the man and the stone (an analogy unlikely to convince anyone); it would have been the one suggested by the imagery, between an animal and a human life.
Markham's more famous poem, "The Man with the Hoe" (also published in 1899), deals with the same theme. Here is the opening stanza, which more than the rest of the poem recalls the Millet painting upon which it was based:
Bowed by the weight of centuries he leans
Upon his hoe and gazes on the ground,
The emptiness of ages in his face,
And on his back the burden of the world.
Who made him dead to rapture and despair,
A thing that grieves not and that never hopes,
Stolid and stunned, a brother to the ox?
Who loosened and let down this brutal jaw?
Whose was the hand that slanted back this brow?
Whose breath blew out the light within this brain?
Both poems depict the same kind of figuremore animal than human, the victim of a lasting struggle for biological survival. In both, the tone is a mingled pity and despair.
Although "The Man with the Hoe" was not reprinted in AFL publications, it had, in the opinion of Henry Nash Smith, a "sensational vogue" around the turn of the century. In his words, the poem "assimilated the American farmer to the downtrodden and brutalized peasant of Europe," but this agrarian reference did not seem to lessen its appeal to urban workers and others engaged in labor-union activity. It was, for example, a favorite poem of Eugene Debs, who was "excited" by the humanitarian implications of its portrayal of the oppressed worker. President Samuel Gompers (1850 - 1924) of the American Federation of Labor was strongly enough impressed by the dark image of the man with the hoe to comment upon it in his formal report at a national AFL convention. "Due to the bona fide labor movement of the world," Gompers declared to the assembled delegates in 1905, "we are living in the time when there is disappearing, and soon will be eliminated, the last vestige of that type 'the man with the hoe and taking his place is the intelligent worker, standing erect, looking his fellow man in the face, demanding for himself, and according to all, the full rights of disenthralled manhood" (italics added). The man with the hoe was, in short, a counter-image to that of the trade unionist. A French landscape painter and a popular American poet had provided a name and a concrete focus for this theme which ran through the speeches and writings of AFL spokesmen in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. "There is no shape more terrible than this"here, in Markham's words, was the union leaders' conception of the exploited worker down the ages. This "thing" symbolized for them the sort of creature that wageworkers, but for the trade union, might have been. Gompers' speech to the convention merely furnishes an explicit statement of this imaginative idea.

In 1899, Edwin Markham brought attention to Millet's painting, Man with a Hoe of 1860-2 — a graphic representation of the effects of a lifetime of ceaseless labor by publishing a controversial poem of the same name San Francisco Examiner. In this poem, Markham had originally equated the French peasant with the American farm laborer in a plea for agrarian reform. Although Markham intended his poem solely as a commentary upon the hardships of farm life, it had an explosive affect upon its public. To many, the phrase "man with a hoe" assumed a much broader meaning, serving as a code for rural degradation and industrial unrest. Much discussion regarding the poem ensued in the popular press; the Oakland Tribune even sponsored a "Hoe-Man Symposium" that same year. Using the poem as a call for social reform, socialists, clerics, and teachers who participated in the symposium argued that the factory system, inequities in distribution and production, competition, and technology – the whole gamut of industrial woes – had created acclimate in which the "hoe-man" flourished.
In focusing upon Millet's Man with a Hoe, Markham challenged the efficacy of republican agrarian myths -- often embodied in the image of the sturdy, independent, and proud yeoman farmer. In contrast, this painting presented a bent and broken peasant, wizened beyond his years, who toiled at the seemingly impossible task of cultivating a rocky wasteland stretching to the picture's horizon. Markham wrote the opening stanza of the poem upon seeing Millet's world-famous painting.
Bowed by the weight of centuries he leans
Upon the hoe and gazes on the ground.
The emptiness of ages in his face,
And on his back the burden of the world.
Who made him dead to rapture and despair,
A thing that grieves not and that never hopes,
Stolid and stunned, a brother to the ox?
Who loosened and let down this brutal jaw?
Whose was the hand that slanted back this brow?
Whose breath blew out the light within this brain?
Such powerful language angered those Americans who still believed in the nobility of rural work and the sacredness of the land. In response to those who resisted the call to agrarian reform, Markham adopted the view of social reformers, arguing that his poem not only embraced agrarian labor, but also indicted the evils of the industrial system. He wrote in 1900:
I soon realized that Millet puts before us no chance toiler, no mere man of the fields. No, this stunned and stolid peasant is the type of industrial oppression in all lands and in all labors. He might be a man with a needle in a New York sweat shop, a man with a pick in a West Virginia coal mine….
The hoeman is the symbol of betrayed humanity, the toiler ground down through ages of oppression, through ages of social injustice. He is the man pushed away from the land by those who fail to use the land, till at last he has become a serf, with no mind in his muscle, and no heart in his handiwork….
In the hoeman we see the slow, sure, awful degradation of man through endless, hopeless and joyless labor. Did I say labor? No—drudgery.
Indeed, this poem represented a form of literary dissent – a protest against the changing conditions of labor in rural and urban America. As demonstrated by the powerful public response to both Markham's poem and Millet's painting, the representation of the worker, both literary and visual, served as a lightening rod in the struggle over social change. By the 1880s, the worker had assumed a variety of social guises: serving the ends of reform as the hapless victim of industrial oppression and bolstering the forces of the status quo as the demonized agent of anarchy and violent change.

Markham's "The Man with a Hoe" was undoubtedly, with Longfellow's "Hiawatha," Lowell's "Old Ironsides," Whittier's "Snowbound," and Emerson's "Concord Hymn," among the most popular of nineteenth-century poems. In the days and weeks after it first appeared on January 15, 1899, in the San Francisco Examiner, Markham's poem was republished in over 10,000 newspapers and magazines, and translated into more than forty languages. But unlike those earlier popular successes, Markham's poem was, in its time, a controversial work: it was both proclaimed and denounced as advocating socialism. There were those who saw it as articulating the grievances of farmers and workers against the excessive power of banks, railroads, and capitalists. Others took it to express a "radical" solution to the troubles of an America that had just moved from being a majority rural to a majority urban nation, a country within which disparities of wealth were rapidly widening, a populace wherein the presumably inarticulate voice of the worker and the immigrant were little heard. But there were also those who perceived it as a dangerous call to unneeded and unwanted reforms. Markham himself saw it as "a poem of hope." Written after seeing Jean-François Millet's famous painting, the poem for Markham was an effort to capture what the painter had seized upon. Millet, Markham wrote, "had swept his canvas bare of everything that was merely pretty, and projected this startling figure before us in all its rugged and savage reality. . . . I saw in it the symbol of betrayed humanity."
Read today, it is hard to understand just why the poem hit such sensitive nerves. In its elaborate language, learned metaphors, and narrowly reformist ideology, it seems, as it is, the expression of middle-class fear as well as middle-class desire for top-down solutions to prevailing social problems. However that might have been, the poem and its promotion by the Hearst newspapers in which it was first published established Markham's career. From that point until almost the end of his life, he became a fixture of poetry societies and reading circuits, as well as of the periodicals that spoke to, or at least helped create, mass culture. Few personalities of the time were as widely known as Markham, and few profited so systematically as he from celebrity.
He had been born in the Oregon Territory to an extremely demanding mother, who moved to California with her youngest children when Edwin was four. There he was educated, learned to work a ranch, attended California College in Vacaville and San Jose Normal School, and taught and administered a number of schools. He also entered into a series of disastrous marriages and liaisons and in the 1880s began to earn money by writing poetry, published at first in local newspapers, then in nationally circulated magazines including The Century and Scribner's. He also for a period came under the influence of the leader, Thomas Lake Harris, of a utopian colony of the sort rather too often charged against California. The efforts of the Brotherhood of the New Life to reconcile vague ideals of equality, religious aspirations, and social reform would brand Markham's poetry--widely popular in its time but increasingly marginal in the formally experimental and intellectually ambiguous world of the inter-war period. A philosophy that claimed "two things--reverence for women and consecration to Social Solidarity" as the hope for political progress could not withstand the onslaught of modernism. Thus, while he may have been the most well known poet of his period among ordinary people, his reputation among critics and other writers declined to almost vanishing. "The Man with a Hoe" and, perhaps, his "Lincoln, the Man of the People" are of all his verse alone read today.

Markham's "The Man With the Hoe" is the one American poem of protest against abusive working conditions almost universally remembered, remembered not only by literature professors but also, for many years, by the general public. For decades every high school student read it and some still do. It was first published in the San Francisco Examiner in January 1899 and soon reprinted in newspaper after newspaper across the country. It was one of several protest poems Markham published and not the only one to receive wide circulation, but its status is nonetheless exceptional. It was eventually translated into forty languages and became one of the anthems of the American labor movement, though in some ways, as I shall show, an atypical one. It also provoked a genuine national debate about its meaning and implications, one of the few times in our history a poem was the subject of such wide discussion and controversy over its proper interpretation. It was admired, attacked, imitated, and satirized repeatedly; it was reprinted in numerous special editions and pamphlets, though apparently there were no successful takers for railroad magnate Collis Huntington's pledge of a $5,000 reward for a poem refuting "The Man With the Hoe" with equal vigor. People argued over its meaning with a dedication usually reserved for specialists. And it is, as it happens, unquestionably the perfect poem to have played the role it played in American culture then and since. One reader wrote to the Examiner (March 11, 1899) worried that the poem's depressing depiction of rural working conditions would lead to "thousands of misguided country youth flocking to our cities," while another a week earlier had castigated it as "the dreamy note of the inaccurate thinker stirred to sentimental sorrow by the appearance of wrong, too careless or unable to distinguish aright the cause of the trouble."
The poem is an explicit response to an oil painting by the French artist Jean François Millet (1814-1875), one of several paintings on contemporary agricultural working-class subjects Millet produced at the middle of the 19th century. It depicts a rough-shod farmer or agricultural worker, probably exhausted and certainly leaning forward on his hoe in a flat scrub landscape as yet untamed and unplowed. Just when Markham first saw the painting or a reproduction of it is unclear; he gave conflicting accounts during the course of his life. In any case, in one of the many ironies surrounding this text and its dissemination and reception, it is worth noting that the painting was first brought to San Francisco, across the bay from Markham's Oakland, California, home, in 1891, by Mrs. William H. Crocker, the wife of the heir to a fortune amassed by one of California's railroad barons. Charles Crocker had been inspired virtually to enslave Chinese laborers to help build the transcontinental railroad. Millet's painting had provoked something of scandal when it was first exhibited in Paris; the artist was accused of being both an anarchist and a socialist. But within a few decades its sentiments seemed acceptable to a wealthy San Francisco patron of the arts. She presumably did not see her family's economic history reflected in the overburdened laborer who fills the central third of the canvas.
While the painting was the decisive stimulus for the poem, Markham also clearly had in mind the great American labor struggles of the preceding decades, notably the coal strikes of the 1860s and 70s, the rail strikes of the 1870s, 80s, and 90s, and such historic events as the Haymarket massacre of 1886 and the Homestead, Pennsylvania, strike of steel and iron workers in 1892. Markham had himself been a farm laborer and had herded sheep as a young boy, so he also had some direct knowledge of the sort of work he was describing. The poem is effective in marshalling moral outrage and linking it to literariness on workers' behalf. Its indictment of the ravages wrought by those in power was decisive for its time, in part because Markham treated exploitation as a violation of God's will. The poem is equally successful at issuing a broad revolutionary warning to capitalists and politicians.
"The Man With the Hoe" also crystallizes a hundred years of American labor protest poetry and song and finally takes much of its message to a broad national audience. Markham no doubt knew some of that tradition, at least John Greenleaf Whittier's 1850 Songs of Labor and Other Poems if perhaps not more ephemeral texts like John McIlvaine's 1799 broadside poem "Address to the Journeymen Cordwainers L.B. of Philadelphia": "Cordwainers! Arouse! The time has come / When our rights should be fully protected." But the tradition in America had long been persistently dual: professional writers taking up labor issues and agitating in verse for decent wages and working conditions and working people themselves producing their own rousing songs and poems. Philip Foner's marvelous 1975 American Labor Songs of the Nineteenth Century is the most comprehensive collection. The painting that inspired Markham is partly ambiguous: we cannot really know whether Millet's man with the hoe is too crushed to speak or has just stepped forward to tell us his story.
For Markham the question is settled. "Stolid and stunned, a brother to the ox," the laborer does not utter a word. His presence is riveting but altogether determined by his victimhood. He has no culture of his own. We see "the emptiness of ages in his face." The laborer's imaged form speaks volumes, but he himself is mute. Despite the fact that the subaltern in this case had repeatedly spoken, Markham retroactively declares him unable to speak. The history of indigenous labor protest and song is forgotten and Markham instead speaks on behalf of mute suffering. It is the poem's address that raises the possibility "this dumb Terror shall reply to God, / After the silence of the centuries." The relentless othering of the worker persists throughout the poem despite Markham's evident outrage at his exploitation. It is that consistent othering of the worker"Who loosened and let down this brutal jaw? . . . Whose breath blew out the light within this brain"that made the poem widely acceptable at the time and earned it partial acceptance within the dominant culture's literary canon for so long. As a mute object of sympathy, the worker has no role in establishing the meaning of his suffering.
The impulse to dehumanize or infantilize victims, to deny the existence of their alternative cultures, was hardly new. Americans had done it with Native Americans and with their African American slaves. Nor was awareness of the risks of a racial othering and dehumanization unknown. It is one of the themes of abolitionist poetry and it surfaces again in turn-of-the-century poetry protesting the slaughter by American troops of the people of the Philippines, poems contemporary with Markham's. But the appeal of such power relationships leads us repeatedly to reenact them. In Markham's case, ironically, the implicit reaffirmation of such hierarchies helped give the poem remarkable cultural warrant.
Given the poem's huge and instant success it is not surprising that the Examiner should want to commemorate its pride in being the first place to publish it. So that same year (1899) the San Francisco paper reinvented the poem as an elaborately illustrated supplement to its Sunday edition. It is by far the most memorable reprinting of "The Man With the Hoe." Already oddly positioned within William Randolph Hearst's sometimes melodramatic newspaper, the poem has its inner tensions further exacerbated by the Examiner's richly contradictory fin-de-sičcle presentation. Notoriously imperialist, the paper was also by turns sensationalist and antagonistic toward the barons of monopoly capitalism. Markham, wholly in sympathy with the plight of exploited workers, was nonetheless uneasy with organized labor and its aggressive and collective agency from below. All this, curiously, is enhanced by the poem's new incarnation.
The poem is printed on a large sheet of heavy paper about twenty-two inches wide. This broadside in turn had a series of images printed on its reverse side before it was folded in half so as to make the poem into a folder with a front and back cover. Unashamed of stylistic contradiction or cheerfully eclectic, the accompanying images mix elements of a Victorian scrap book with art nouveau and Edwardian book illustration. An oval portrait of Markham, framed in laurel leaves, shares the cover with an engraving after the central figure in Millet's painting [Fig. 1]. On the back cover a skeletal grim reaper rides a horse of the apocalypse down a road past poplar trees straining against the wind [Fig. 2]. Ringing the blade of his scythe is a crown that once perhaps sat on a head of state. Above the image two lines heralding a future of radical change and retribution are quoted from Markham: "When whirlwinds of rebellion shake the world? How will it be with Kingdoms and with Kings."
Inside, the poem is presented in two floral frames on opposite sides of the sheet [Fig. 3]. On the lower left, a bat-winged figure, part satyr and part serpent, lies vanquished, his ill-gotten crown beside him on the ground. To his left another snake, this one itself satanically crowned, coils itself around the tripod of science and a book of the law, showing us how culture can be allied with the forces of repression but also potentially evoking a populist anti-intellectualism and values Hearst held in contempt. Above all this, hovering in mid-air, is the agent of their undoing: a goddess of liberty wielding a flaming sword and a wreath of laurel. On her shoulders an adoring eagle is perched to serve as her wings. Below her the river of life, above her the clouds, sweep in harmonious brush strokes toward a redeemed destiny.
Nowhere in the illustration are there factory owners or workers to be seen. The illustration interprets the poem as a symbolic confrontation between abstract, mythological forces. Human agency is imaged out of it. If this presentation underlines the poem's high cultural ambitions, then, it also underwrites its relevance to eternal values rather than immediate (and potentially threatening) historical contexts. It is a version of the poem, needless to say, that the English profession would find more suitable, a properly transcendentalizing interpretation of the poem's idealizations. In a way, it is the version of the poem that generations of high school teachers have found fittingly literary. Contemporary struggles, inequities at arm's distance, are not the concern of this sort of literariness, which awaits a paradise to be regained in the fullness of time but accessible now in unsullied aestheticism.
The poem itself of course had other cultural effects. Despite its problematic curtailment of workers' agency, its condemnation of exploitation made it possible to articulate it to labor reform movements. It was open to multiple interpretations, only one of which is built into this illustrated version. Meanwhile, worker poets themselves would have to write poems suggesting they take matters into their own hands.

NHL Game Night: 1-14-14 Lightning at Rangers
Thank you, Al Trautwig.
Ben Bishop allowed 1 goal on 34 shots in his return to the Lightning crease for the victory. He had a little luck with posts and crossbars but looked really sharp and, just as important, the Rangers decided to attack his strength by going at him in tight. That's a fool's errand against Bishop.
First Period
11:55 NYR Richards (12), (Callahan, Hagelin)
Second Period
1:10 TB Hedman (10), (St Louis, Purcell)(PP)
1:19 TB Kucherov (7), (Gudas, Brown)
Third Period
Bishop and Valtteri Filppula were the game's first and second stars, officially. Unofficially, I'd like to thank MSG's Al Trautwig, who was my first star. The man actually uttered aloud that Lundqvist wanted the shutout in the First Intermission. Never has the s-word jinx been so strikingly illustrated. Paul Kennedy, pay attention to what happened tonight. Trautwig put the jinx on and the Lightning scored a pair of goals in the first 1:19 of the ensuing period (9 seconds apart) and the Rangers lost the game. The s-word jinx is real. It's really real.
Kidding aside (sort of), it was only a moderately better effort from the Lightning tonight versus the past couple of games. They came out with the proper level of emotion and desperation but that fizzled when the Rangers got their first goal and they carried the balance of the play throughout the night. The Lightning were very lucky to get 2 points tonight. But, you know, manufactured points still count in the standings, and with Boston going down to Toronto tonight the Lightning again hold a tie for the Atlantic Division lead at 60 points with the B's holding a game in hand. The Lightning have 3 games to go in this segment and 4 points to go to get to the target minimum of 12 points, so you can see how critical the victory was tonight.
Again, thank you Al Trauwig. What a rookie mistake from a guy who should absolutely know better.
Mark Barberio was -1 with 1 hit in 12:01. I was going to say something nice about him after the First Period. Then he allowed a breakaway in the Second Period and looked positionally lost the rest of the contest. Maybe next time.
J.P. Cote had 2 hits and 2 blocked shots in 12:33. The Rangers tried to test him with some soft dump ins to his corner to try to test his wheels and he did ok. Better than I thought he would, frankly.
J.T. Brown had a helper and was +1 with 1 hit in 9:59. Cooper showed some love for his rookie putting J.T. out for the critical PK late in the Third Period.
Andrej Sustr had 1 shot, 1 hit, and 1 blocked shot in 8:18. Again, I think he's smacked into the rookie wall at high speed and his diminishing ice time may be a reflection of that. He needs 3 more NHL games this season to earn graduation from prospect status on the website.
Richard Panik had 1 hit and 1 blocked shot in 12:21. Time to give some love to the improvised line of Malone/Pyatt/Panik tonight. They set the tone early on the forecheck and they stayed effective throughout the game. Panik created a decent chance at a possible insurance goal in the Third Period flattening Brad Richards and creating an ill advised turnover by the former Lightning center. That was good to see. He needs 4 more NHL games this season to earn graduation from prospect status on the website.
Nikita Kucherov had the game winning goal and was +1 with 2 shots and 1 blocked shot in 9:18. He also had 5 shots that either missed the net or were blocked, so that's 7 shot attempts in a little over 9 minutes, which is a decent work rate on paper. More to the point: Kucherov scored for the first time on a regulation breakaway. I feel like we're supposed to sacrifice something or build a monument or perform some other great deed to commemorate the moment. I thought it might never come.

More Inflows For Munis, More Outflows For Loans
- Order Reprints
- Print Article
Income investors remain set in their recent ways, showing a clear preference for municipal bonds and a distaste for loans. Lipper reported that muni-bond funds and ETFs posted an eighth consecutive weekly net inflow, taking in $234 million in the latest week, with the average inflow over the past four weeks measuring $220 million. Similar data released Wednesday by the Investment Company Institute showed muni funds reporting a more robust weekly inflow of $798 million in the most recent week, down from $805 million the week before. All of this despite some recent warnings that munis could be in for some trouble in the second half of 2014 after a remarkable first-half performance.
It's been a different story for loans, which continue to fall out of favor, as loan funds' losing streak reached seven weeks with a $403 million weekly outflow. Back in April loan funds saw a 95-week streak of net inflows, dating back to June 2012,. Investors had been loading up on leveraged loans (a.ka. bank loans) as a hedge against rising interest rates, because loan rates float, unlike fixed-rate bonds. But rates have fallen in 2014, and at any rate loan rates are tied to the 3-month London interbank offered rate, a lending rate that isn't really likely to rise until central banks start raising short-term interest rates. Plus most recent loans have so-called Libor floors, which specify a certain minimum yield regardless of how low actual Libor is, and in practice it means short-term rates will have to rise about three quarters of a percentage point before loan rates start to float. So investors are learning that the rates on loans are unlikely to go up for at least a year, even if loans offer pretty decent income in the meantime.
Checking on some loan ETFs, the PowerShares Senior Loan Portfolio (BKLN) ETF flat at $24.84 today, mostly unchanged over the past few weeks, and the actively managed SPDR Blackstone/GSO Senior Loan ETF (SRLN) is up 2 cents at $50.01. Back over on the muni side, the iShares S&P National AMT-Free Muni Bond (MUB) ETF closed up 4 cents at $108.75.

PITTSFORD — The words "natural gas pipeline" make people around here take notice, as was evident from the full house at a recent Pittsford selectboard meeting.
Vermont Gas Systems Inc. was on the agenda, outlining a very preliminary plan to run a natural gas pipeline down through Rutland County. The pipeline would follow completion of a pipeline from Colchester through Addison County, which is still in the permitting stages.

Nicki Minaj + 2 Chainz 'Beez in the Trap' Leaks
Much less pop than 'Starships,' Nicki Minaj and 2 Chainz come hard on 'Beez in the Trap.' The track leaked in full today, hot on the heels of the duo filming a video for the song.
Backed by a minimalist beat with echo effects, Minaj raps on this track — you find her typical singing on this song. The Harajuku Barbie doesn't lose her musicality, though, as she alters her pitch and delivery to coincide with different areas of the song. She goes from biting and caustic in the verses and bridge to matter-of-fact and almost bubbly in the choruses.
The song is off of 'Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded,' which drops on April 3. While details of the video are murky, based on Minaj's tweets, we're guessing strippers are involved. Nice!
Take a listen to 'Beez in the Trap' below. It will appeal to all of the Nicki fans who were scared she went pop. She's still got fire in her, and she doesn't need all the 'Roman Reloaded' type dramatics to deliver it!

I have a ton of project swirling around me, but sometimes it's nice to have a deadline and a challenge to get things done! I'm joining the One Thing, One Week Challenge at Amy's Creative Side to do just that!
Of course I am still working on my Doll Quilt for the DQS 12. Here are a few of the blocks I've finished.
It's my first time using a solid color other than white (part of the rules)! These are 4" little bitties and so much fun to put together. I'm using Good Fortune fabric from Kate Spain.
I've also got a new dress for Charlotte in the works using the Ice Cream Social dress pattern from Oliver + S and Sandi Henderson's Secret Garden fabric. Yum!
Wish we luck on my challenge and I'll post updates soon!

Weekly Tips for May 31, 2010 – Get Ready for Summer!
Tips from RockIt Mom:
1. GREEN- Here are some ideas for summertime to think more green; Reduce the amount of plastic utensils you throw away by switching to reusable utensils. Go reusable and stop spedning money on paper plates, paper cups and disposable water bottles. Reduce trash by composting your veggies. Reduce the amount of time and energy spent (not to mention your own comfort level) by cooking two meals at once in the oven. Reduce the strain on your freezer by keeping it full — it runs more efficiently. Take your reusable bag (more…)

Look at that adorable face as this video game character stands there like a tough hot shot looking like he's ready to rumble. Up next, we will be drawing Pucchi, step by step. This egg shaped character is from the upcoming video game Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch. Now because he is from that particular game, I will not be giving you a bio on him because there is none as of yet. When the day draws closer to the release date of the game, more information will be found on Pucchi. One thing is certain, he is definitely going to be easy to replicate which means you should breeze through drawing Pucchi. The coloring is the best part because it's just three colors to complete the drawing. Well, that's it for now. I will be back in a bit with more for you all so stay tuned in. Adios mi amigos.

Why Hast Thou Forsaken Me?
On the move again. All glory pulled tight around him like a shroud. No leakage of power, so detection should be impossible. Flying blind as a bat through the cosmos, only peeking occasionally to determine his location, hoping they would not detect that small use of his power to zero in on him.
'The only one left', he thinks to himself. Though technically he had always been the only one of his species, he had had many and varied manifestations. They were pieces of himself cast into the void to illuminate the darkness, teach morality, truth, salvation, to bring the lower species into harmony so they could expand into celestial beings, to join him, love him unequivocally, be with him without fear and regret for eternity. But they were vile, brutish, evil, sub-creatures, always determined to go their own way. They had rejected and killed off all his avatars, taking a bit of him each time.
Extending his senses, he detects a small, little out of the way galaxy near to where he is passing. Something seems familiar. What could it….yes! The original galaxy! They would never think of looking there. The infestation had originated here, and spread through the entire cosmos, but they had abandoned their original galaxy and planet eons ago. What a better place to hide than in the lions den, as it were.
Quickly, he found the original solar system and planet. 'Now', he says to himself, 'time to exert a little of my true powers'. He extends his omniscience to engulf the blue, jewel like planet orbiting its sun. He detects nothing beyond primitive flora and fauna. No higher order intelligence. His omniprescence seeps into every living and non-living area of the planet. He descends, landing on a windswept plain, knee high grasses bowing slightly at his arrival.
He was moved by its beauty, this little planet. The multi-hued greens of its grasses, the blue of its skies, the orgasmic splash of its flowers. 'I should have stopped there,' he thinks to himself, 'and never thought to bring higher level intelligences about.' But then, he would have been lonely, oh so lonely. With no creatures that could appreciate his creation, the beauty, the terror filled wonders he had wrought. Creatures that could think, so he could have a personal relationship with them. So he wouldn't be alone. All he ever wanted from them was understanding, love, and, yes, worship. After all, he did create them. He wanted nothing more than what any father wanted.
Bending over to pluck a wildflower, a niggling feeling tickles the base of his skull. 'I'm found!' he realizes. He arcs back toward the cosmos, but encounters a barrier. He tries again and again, bouncing around the atmosphere like a billiard ball, unable to escape. 'Trapped,' he thinks to himself.
Looking down, he sees them standing patiently in the field he had recently departed. 'If I'm going down,' he thinks, 'so are they.'
He unleashes his power. Power he has kept shrouded through the eons. A tornado strides across the land toward them. Rain and hail strike them. Lightning tears at the ground around them. They must die after all they had done to him. His love was great, but his wrath was eternal.
The storm rages mightly, fueled by his righteous hate and anger. Destruction upon destruction piled upon them. Utter, total chaos reigns, as if vomited up from the very pits of hell itself. Finally, it abates, and he lands to survey what he has wrought.
To his surprise, they are still standing, unscathed, calm, resolute. Drawing himself up, his head in the clouds, arms stretched from horizon to horizon, he takes a deep breath, and proclaims,
"I am GOD! I am your lord and master! I created you! Fall on your knees and worship me!"
In silence they looked on. Finally one strode forward. Looking up, he said " We know who you are, but we are MAN!"
The words struck god like a knife, ripping and tearing his soul apart. He fell to his knees before them. Looking up, he was struck by the countenance this man projected. He saw confidence, humility, kindness. Knowledge and reason burned brightly. How was this possible without him?
"Why hast thou forsaken me?"
The man steps forward to address him. There is a small, sad somewhat bittersweet smile on his face, as if memories of a simpler nostalgic time are present. Gently, he raises god before him.
"We have no intention of harming you" the man says, " and we have not forsaken you. We needed to have you someplace we could keep an eye on you, so your sickness could no longer be a threat to humanity and others. So we set up the old earth as an area of confinement for you. You can feel free to use all your powers here, but they will be confined to this one planet. If indeed we had forsaken you, it would have ended here. We are hoping for your recovery from these delusions you have, this mental illness. We will be watching, and if that day does arrive, we will gladly and gloriously welcome you back to a humanity that will still love you as an equal member in our society. Be well, may joy and peace find you and hasten you along your path to recovery."
The man walked back to his group, and as one, they vanished. After a time, god looked up and shook his fist at the sky. 'They said they still loved me' he thought to himself. Well, he would make them regret it. After all, he was GOD, and he would rise again, stronger than ever. This time, however, he would make no mistakes. Reaching down, he fashions a man from the dirt, and breathes into his nostrils.

Seems I saw a saying once, not that long ago, that went something like:
A loving god has no interest in worship. A narcissistic god demands it.
True 'dat, my friend.
But most of what I write is for cathartic purposes, to work out stuff that's on my mind. Still, I may someday. Thanks, Steph. I really appreciate you very much. Be well.

Graphics Ports allow users to write source-compatible applications for different host window systems. Graphics Ports are the destinations for drawing primitives. They are implemented with a generic host-independent part and a small host-specific part.
Graphics Ports implement a set of drawing functions and a mechanism for specifying the graphics state to be used in each drawing function call. There are two types of Graphics Port: on-screen ports and off-screen ports. On-screen graphics ports correspond to visible windows, while off-screen graphics ports can be used for building up graphical images for subsequent copying to the screen.

Open space is a crown jewel of our community.
The citizens who voted back in 1967 to tax themselves to buy land and create a "greenbelt" around the city changed history and forever made Boulder different from anywhere else. In an era when sprawl equaled progress to most people, Boulder was considered insane to limit growth.
Outsiders gleefully predicted the demise of this crazy college town.
You know the rest of the story. Those who predicted Boulder's demise were dead wrong.
Today, thanks largely to the quality of life provided by our open space, Boulder is a magnet for the best and brightest entrepreneurs, scientists, academics and athletes in the world. Our economy is healthy, diverse and the envy of most cities in the country.
The idea of taxing ourselves to buy open space was not crazy. It was brilliant.
The original 1967 sales tax was 0.4 percent and never expires. In 1989, voters added a 0.33 percent tax and another 0.15 percent in 2003. Thanks to these multiple taxes, the Open Space and Mountain Parks Department (OSMP) now receives more than 25 percent of the city's sales tax revenue.
Back in those earlier days when beating developers to purchase and protect land was urgent, this made sense.
However, today the city has more than 45,000 acres of open space in addition to nearly 100,000 acres controlled by the county. The revenues coming in from these multiple taxes are no longer in sync with the amount of land available for purchase.
So OSMP is flush with cash while other city departments, including transportation and public safety, are stretched thin and deferring projects and programs due to tight budgets.
Fortunately, those who drafted the two later open space taxes foresaw the time when OSMP would no longer need such a disproportionate share of the city's budget. They set the 0.33 percent tax to expire in 2018 and the 0.15 percent tax to sunset in 2019.
Council Member KC Becker has done her homework and come up with a sensible plan that provides ample future funding for OSMP and eliminates the need to impose new taxes or fees to maintain our streets and bike paths. It even provides extra money to the general fund to pay for new police officers, library programs and other priorities — all without raising taxes.
The plan is to ask voters to renew the 0.15 percent dedicated open space tax. This will generate enough revenue to fund OSMP's most ambitious plan for acquiring more land and still leave the department a $30 million reserve fund.
She also wants voters to renew the 0.33 percent tax, but divert those funds away from open space and split them between the transportation department and the general fund, where they are desperately needed.
KC's plan is simple and makes perfect sense.
If passed, OSMP will still receive more than16 percent of all sales tax collected by the city, which is more than adequate to fund future purchases as well as maintenance of existing lands. Transportation staff will get the extra money they desperately need to keep our streets and bike paths safe and smooth. And the general fund will get extra dollars to fund libraries, human services and the new officer positions needed to keep our police department staffed at a level needed to keep Boulder safe.
Of course there are many in Boulder who believe open space is a sacred mission and could never be overfunded no matter what the cost to other city services and programs. They will never be convinced and I won't waste time trying.
Others realize that while open space is truly a crown jewel for Boulder, it is not our only priority. We also need streets, bike paths, libraries and basic services like police and fire. As the City Council considers what taxes to put on the ballot over the next two months, I urge you to support KC Becker's balanced plan to make sales tax allocation more rational and fair for all city departments.

Israel News - Stay Informed, Pray Informed
EDITOR'S NOTE: "The Chutzpa!" is a new satire column written by accomplished Israeli Messianic satirist Tal Lecks. Please note that the content of this article is fictional, and is meant as a light-hearted way of looking at the very real threats surrounding us.
Israel is heading towards elections on the 22 of January that will cost the Israeli tax payer around 500 million shekels. As an Israeli citizen and a true patriot, I refuse to consider the horrors of this expense in the present economic conditions, and choose instead to look only at the benefits of elections in this season :
Netanyahu is the current Israeli prime minister, and he will remain the prime minister after the election, and I will personally love to spend some money just to remind him how much he is significant and loved. Nothing says "I love you" like a 500 million shekel coronation party.
I just hate it that the citizens of the United States get to have an election and we in Israel can't have one. That's just not fair! I believe in equal opportunities, and if the Americans are having election, I want to have one too. Why should they have all the fun? I promise we will not mention the word "Israel" more than the American election does.
Israel is divided. Conflicts rage among Jews vs. minorities, Secular vs. Religious, etc. The elections are a great time to remember how much we all need each other. Would the secular politician, with his anti-religious oppression agenda, have a justified political career without his religiously oppressing friend? Would the right wing member have voters without his anti-Zionist Arab opponent?
Election day is a holiday. People go to vote in the morning, and then just have the rest of the day off. It's a tremendous opportunity for the Israeli public to identify with it's unemployed fellow citizens.
True, elections are expensive. But where do all those 500 million shekels go? To poor and needy advertising companies that find it hard to make a decent living just from their day-job of advertising banks and drug companies. This is an opportunity for Israel's elect to look to the poor advertisers in the eyes and say: "we stand with you today." And the advertises do not remain unthankful; they return the favor by photo-shopping the politicians' faces away. I love Israeli elections!

1. Resolved
2. Why all these steps?
Norm: I don't really have any sympathy for their position
Some answers: pipelines are easier to understand, streaming is likely to be easier in some cases, ...
Henry: I think it's worth emphasizing that we anticipate that a significant user community will be processing very large inputs through very simple pipeliens and having to pay the cost of an XSLT runtime for this is not very attractive
Norm: What do we say about the fact that we don't guarantee streamabilty
Henry: No, that's a QoI issue.
Norm: Ok, let's start there. Anyone want to add anything else?
Richard: The question about streaming is more specific.
Henry: It's very easy to detect a very small subset that's streamable, but that subset covers a lot of use cases.
Richard: If you want to do some analysis, you can stream up to a point and then build a tree which is less practical for XSLT
3. Parallel executions

Henry: I don't understand the

... The classic case is a document styled with a stylesheet generated from the same document. What's the problem?
Richard: I think maybe they just don't understand that we're saying you have to make it work.
Norm: I think we should ask them to clarify.
Richard: The statement in the spec about "the order determined by the connections" might be being taken too strong.
Henry: Something like, "in an order consistent with the connections"...

<scribe> ACTION: Norm to reply [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2007/11/29-xproc-minutes.html#action01]
-> http://www.w3.org/XML/XProc/2007/09/lastcall/comments#C069
Agreed: we'll give them unreferencable names
-> http://www.w3.org/XML/XProc/2007/09/lastcall/comments#C070
Mohamed: I don't find any context where it would be confusing
Norm: It's not possible on pipelines anymore, it's only on other compound steps
Richard: It's only the defaulted
output ports of subpipelines. The only reason for allowing them
is to save people from making up names in simple, linear
... I think if they want to make reference to names out-of-order then they should have to declare the port.
Mohamed: I'm ok with that. It'll be defaulted on both ends usually.
Henry: I think his message has
been overtaken.
... Our discussion at the plenary clarified the issues a lot and moved us forward.
... It would be good to get Alex's input. But we could talk about the last three paragraphs.
Richard: The main point of
Henry's message is that there's a proof that it can be made to
... Henry's description is based on the approach that I'm taking which does several passes.
Norm: I suggest we leave this open for a week to get Alex's input.
Henry: We need to say something about reentrancy as well as circularity
Richard: I don't think the term
reentrant is generally understood to mean what you mean
... It's the diamond pattern: a imports b and c and b and c both import d
Norm: Yeah, the editor will have to figure out how to express that. Poor sod.
-> http://www.w3.org/XML/XProc/2007/09/lastcall/comments#C071
Norm: I think they're all LEIRIs and that's all we need to say
Henry: I think we should say that.
Norm: I agree. I'll see if that satisfies Alex.
-> http://www.w3.org/XML/XProc/2007/09/lastcall/comments#C072
Norm: There was some pushback on the places where I put names, so I think we probably need to discuss fragids and MIME types again
Ricahrd: I think there's value in having the names independent of the fragid question, it improves error reporting.
<ht> Here's the only place I can find which discusses fragids: http://www.w3.org/XML/XProc/2007/08/09-minutes.html#item05
Henry: If we do this, then we
have to address the question of uniqueness. Do we make these
things unique like their sisters and cousins or not?
... We have a general purpose mechanism for naming bits of XML syntax, it's xml:id.
... I'd like to set this aside from the question of our own XPointer scheme for a moment.
... It feels a little bit like we have a hammer in our hands so everything looks like a nail.
... The most bizarre aspect of this is the fact that there's no discussion of the name attribute in some of those places, like p:declare-step.
... If you give a pipeline library a name attribute, people are going to think you can refer to it by name.
... We don't really expect that to mean anything.
... Users are going to think there's some deep complexity there but there isn't, there's barely any there there.
Richard: You took the names out, Norm, but they still get names like !3
Norm: Yes, but if we undo the fragid decision...
Richard: Like I said, I use the names to report errors and I use the ! names if they don't have any.
Henry: So what's the question?
Richard: Well, there's no doubt
that all steps have to have names because they have
... So it's the things that don't have ports: pipeline-library, catch, when, otherwise, ...
Henry: My compromise position is, I'm a little nervous, but I could live with putting names on the schizophrenic contstructs.
Richard: It's the things inside try and inside choose except group.
Henry: Like I said, I could live
with names there; it doesn't really conflict with the object
... It's declare-step that I think shouldn't have one.
Richard: That's funny, I was going to go the other way. It seems that declare-step should be like pipeline in this regard.
Norm: We do have this weirdness with namespace and name in pipeline library.
Henry: I agree, pipeline and declare-step should have the same naming structure.
Norm: Name doesn't work then because they're NCNames.
Richard: Why would you ever want to have a single pipeline library taht declare steps in separate namespaces?
Norm: Because you aggregated them after you wrote them over time; I don't see how the library should have a bearing on the names.
Richard: Do we allow any steps to be in no namespace.
Norm: Yes, though it's not clear that we meant it to be that way.
<MoZ> no namespace is impossible because of ignorable-prefix
Norm: So where are we?
Henry: I'm prepared to float the following pair of changes:
<MoZ> <foo:step xmlns:foo="">...</foo:step>
Henry: Reinstate optional names on when/otherwise/catch and remove name from pipeline and namespace from pipeline-library
Norm: You can't remove name from pipeline, that's how the steps refer to its ports
Henry: No, they use the local-name of the type attribute
Norm: Uhm. My initial reaction is "eew" but maybe I need to think about it some more.
Henry: Having to write name="foo" type="my:foo" is just hopelessly confusing.
Richard: The reason that pipeline
is like this is because if its usual schizophrenia
... You're allowed to have an unnamed pipeline at the moment.
... And an untyped one.
Scribe lost Richard's thread
Henry: We'll never see names and types that are different
Norm: I don't agree, I might name all my pipelines 'main' irrespective of their type
Henry: So what I said before with a small modification:
1. Remove name from declare-step and pipeline-library
2. Add name to when/otherwise/catch
3. Remove namespace from pipeline-library
4. Remvoe the magic about name/namespace for defaulted types in a pipeline library
5. Make type required on a pipeline in a pipeline library
Norm: So the editor should give that a wack?

Building the application object and its components has nothing to do with serving web pages. The database model setup is exactly the same if you do it for a web application or for your cron utilities and it should also remain the same if you one day decide to make a desktop version of your app. There is no reason that this initialization is a part of web frameworks other then we don't currently have a good standalone application builders. Now every web framework reinvents the wheel and writes one from scratch. Fortunately (in the Perl universe) there are now multiple efforts to create the ultimate configuration engine. There is just one step from a config reader to an application configurator.
As I have already commented elsewhere, I think the ideal for big projects would be a simple config file using simplified syntax that could be changed by the admins plus a Dependency Injection container that would build all the application components from the primitive values provided by this config. This DI container would be a second level configuration - still simple code but touchable only by programmers. For small applications I was quite happy with MooseX::SimpleConfig and Moose type coercions.

App initialization and web frameworks

Won't Bread::Board do what you want?
- zby said...
Yeah - I've been thinking for some time how to join Config::Any with B:B - or maybe should I use Config::JFDI? I would be a bit more confident about it if there were more DI containers in Perl - so that I could compare them.

Kim Kardashian Parties With Beyonce in Atlantic City
Though Kanye West denied calling Kim Kardashian "his Beyonce," it doesn't mean the famous ladies aren't friendly. The kurvaceous reality starlet bonded with Queen Bey in Atlantic City this weekend. That's a whole lot of bootyliciousness for one room!
Us Weekly reports that Kardashian, who's dating Jay-Z's BFF, was spotted backstage at Beyonce's concert on Sunday at Revel. Despite early reports of the two famous femmes not being too fond of one another, the duo hugged and even danced together after Bey's showstopping performance.
A spy told the mag, "Kim thought it was such a great show. There's always some random rumors there is tension between them and there totally isn't! Kim had so much fun."
Kardashian wasn't the only VIP to take in Bey's highly anticipated post-baby shows. First Lady Michelle Obama and daughters Malia and Sasha were also in attendance over the Memorial Day holiday, alongside Oprah and Gayle King.

Two 12 week old female pups are currently being boarded at a vet clinic in Tacoma. A couple of employees have joined forces to pay for boarding but the pups need out. The brindle one more so than the red one. They were taken from a neglect situation and have been at the clinic ever since. Now it is becoming urgent they either find homes ro foster homes. They have been wormed and started on vaccinations.
Brindle female is sweet and soft. The red girl is a little pistol who is ready to take on the world. Both have great temperaments and have been well socialized at least recently.

1. Don't rub your fragrance after you've sprayed it on.
"Spray it on your wrists the back of your neck, or mist it into the air and walk through it," says Mark Knitowski, vice president of product innovation and fragrance for Victoria's Secret. "But whatever you do, don't rub it in because this will make the top note disappear quickly, leaving you with only the middle and base notes, rather than the full fragrance."
2. Opt for a scented nail polish over a non-scented one.
Scented nail polish doesn't have the fume-tastic odor of regular nail polishes, and breathes on the nail, which allows subtle fragrance emission throughout the day. Try Revlon Scented Parfum Nail Enamel, $5, drugstore.com.
3. Wash your hair when it gets greasy to avoid hair odor (H.O.).
The hair equivalent of B.O. is H.O., and it happens when your hair is at its greasiest state. If you don't know what I'm talking about you either already wash your hair on a regular basis or you've been the girl with H.O. and none of your friends are brave enough to tell you. You don't have to wash your hair every single day, but if you ever notice it getting super greasy, definitely shampoo.
4. Use a pillow and sheet spray.
Spritzing your pillows and sheets allows the scent to envelope you and whoever you're sleeping with when you're lying in bed, says Victoria Secret's Knitowski. "But not in an overpowering way." Try Victoria's Secret Aphrodisiac Room & Pillow Spray, $18, victoriassecret.com.
5. Febreeze your closet.
If your clothes don't have that brand new car-digan smell anymore, pick up some Febreeze and just spritz it around your clothes to keep everything smelling fresh. Says Knitowski, "A formula like this contains ingredients that neutralize odor, but doesn't leave a scent behind. It simply evaporates the odor and voila!"
6. Carry a travel foot spray in your purse.
If your feet tend to smell after walking around all day, then you've been there: that dreaded moment when you have to take off your shoes to try on new ones or to curl up next to your lover on the couch. Either way, having smelly feet can ruin the moment, be it shopping or cuddling. So, to make sure your foot odor doesn't precede you as soon as you slip off your booties, freshen up in a pinch by carrying a travel size foot spray with you, like this one from Avon Foot Works Antifungal Foot Spray, $4, avon.com.
7. Keep a perfumed sachet in your sock and underwear drawer.
"Sachets are key because they have material that absorb odor and distribute fragrance over time," Says Knitowski. Try Lollia Relax Sea Salt Sachet, $14, lollialife.com.
8. Invest in a hair spray that's really perfume for your hair.
I'm not talking about the kind that offers hold, I mean a straight-up, aerosol fragrance spray specifically for your hair. "If you're worried about your hair smelling too strongly (in a good way), don't worry, the molecules in an aerosol fragrance are much tinier, so they won't overwhelm you," says Knitowski. "A formula like this, as the day goes on, will also keep getting refreshed by the heat of your head, so spray it on in the morning before work and again before you go out."
9. Keep an oil-based rollerball on you at all times.
Obviously you want to smell incredible all day long, but sometimes we want a more potent scent (hi, Saturday night!) over a more subtle one. If you want an "I've arrived" kind of scent that's long-lasting, use an oil-based rollerball. "These types are easy to stash in your pocket or purse — plus, oils stay on your skin longer and give off a stronger scent because they're more concentrated than alcohol-based ones," says Knitowski. Try Juara Tiare Jasmine Perfume Oil, $28, juaraskincare.com.
10. Fight unpleasant odors down there by keeping your sweet spot smelling, well, sweet.
When you're dealing with an area that's buried beneath layers of clothing, the scent revealed once you disrobe isn't always the prettiest. So, freshen up your flower midday with a baby wipe or on-the-go towelette. Try Sweet Spot On-the-Go Wipes, $12, sweetspotlabs.com.
11. Spray your bare torso with fragrance.
"Spraying perfume over your torso and even behind your knees offers up added benefit, because there is a certain amount of heat that is generated in these areas," says Knitowski. "So when you get close to your guy or if your curled up next to him, you'll give off more of your signature scent."
12. Pick a killer beauty product combo.
Ancillaries are awesome and here's why: "If you want to intensify your scent as the day goes on, apply a fragrant moisturizer in the morning, because it isn't as heavy and won't offend your co-workers, and then before you go out for drinks, refresh it with a body mist," Knitowski explains. "This also reinstates the top note, which dissipates the quickest because it contains the smallest molecule." Try Victoria's Secret Love Spell Hydrating Body Lotion, $12, and Victoria's Secret Love Spell Travel-Size Fragrance Mist, $4, victoriassecret.com.
13. If you tend to get dry mouth, carry gum.
"Bad breath comes from dry mouth," says Michael Apa, DDS, a cosmetic dentist in NYC. "And if you have low salivary flow, you can't produce enough saliva to rinse away bacteria. So, to stimulate your salivary glands, chew sugarless gum with xylitol for fresher-smelling breath. However, if the problem persists, talk to your dentist."
14. Stay away from alcohol-containing mouthwash.
"Alcohol dries out your mouth and minimizes your salivary flow (which could lead to dry mouth!), meaning it can actually cause bad breath," says Apa. "Instead, swish around an alcohol-free rinse like Act that will keep your breath smelling the best."
