FULLER, Kathryn Virginia
Kathryn Fuller of La Cañada Flintridge, actress and member of the
Screen Actors Guild (SAGAFTRA) - and Actors' Equity Association
(AEA)-who was affectionately known to her family as "America's Favorite
Actress"-passed away peacefully at home on May 24, 2012, due to natural
causes. She was 89. Services and interment were conducted May 31, 2012,
at Mountain View Chapel in Altadena
Kathryn was born on June 5,
1922, in Delaware, Ohio to Gilbert and Ruth Eagon. She earned a degree
in Theatre Arts from Ohio Wesleyan University. There, during the Second
World War, she met her future husband, Mark H. Fuller, who was then
enrolled in the U.S. Navy V-12 Unit at Ohio Wesleyan. They were married
in July, 1945, at Christ Church in New York City. Following the War,
Kathryn and Mark resided in California; they lived in Altadena, Arcadia,
South Pasadena, and then for 52 years in La Cañada Flintridge.
Kathryn began a professional acting career with performances at the
Pasadena Playhouse, Theatre Americana (Altadena), and Glendale Centre
Theatre. Eventually she would make many appearances on television, in
films and on stage. She was a gifted actress, director and writer-but
Kathryn will also be remembered as a loving wife and mother, with four
sons and two daughters. She managed a busy household that often included
extended family members.
For over 40 years, Kathryn and her family
were active members of Holliston United Methodist Church; she taught
pre-school at Holliston's Merryland Nursery School. She volunteered in
her community, reading books at local schools and directing theater for
non-profits-such as Foothill Service Club for The Blind, where she
directed a play cast entirely with blind actors.
In over 50 years of
work, Kathryn influenced the careers of fellow actors and touched the
hearts of many. In 1962, she was a co-founder of Studio Theatre
Playhouse in Los Angeles, which today remains a venue for new theatrical
talent. As a playwright, she authored: "Lightning in the South" (from
the life of Mary Todd Lincoln) and co-authored "Lutie" (a comedic romp
set in New Orleans). Both premiered at Glendale Centre Theatre. Her many
performances with The Colony at Studio Theatre Playhouse included:
Terrence Shank's adaptation of John Steinbeck's "The Grapes of Wrath",
Eugene O'Neill's "Long Day's Journey into Night," and the world stage
premier of Ray Bradbury's "The Martian Chronicles." When "The Grapes of
Wrath" was picked up by the Louisville Regional Equity Theatre, Kathryn
was cast in the featured role of "Mama" for an extended run.
television, Kathryn's recurring roles included Mabel Cummings in "Days
of Our Lives," Mrs. Shellenback on "Happy Days," and Mrs. McGregor on
"Valerie's Family." Numerous other appearances included "Laverne &
Shirley," "Little House on the Prairie," "Highway to Heaven," "Remington
Steele," and "Newhart". Her favorite motion picture role was that of
Faye Kennedy in "Yes, Georgio" co-starring with Luciano Pavarotti.
Kathryn is preceded in death by her parents and her sister Sue Jacobs.
She is survived by her husband Mark; sister Meredith Rode and brother
Richard Eagon; children, Mike (Tina), Elin Alto (John), Scott (Susanne),
Tim (Gail), Babette Coverdale (John) and Matt (Shyrlee), eight
grandchildren and three great-grandchildren. She is loved and missed by

RIP Doris Singleton
Recurred on 'I Love Lucy' as Carolyn Appleby
By Variety Staff
Actress and comedienne Doris Singleton Isaacs, who recurred on "I Love Lucy" as Lucy's near-sighted neighbor and sometimes nemesis Carolyn Appleby, died Tuesday. She was 92.
Singleton guested in a large number of both comedies and dramas during her 30-plus career in television.
After performing as a featured dancer with the American Ballet Theater in her teens, the Brooklyn-born Dorthea Singleton began in showbiz as a vocalist with Art Jarrett's orchestra in the late 1930s. Her distinctive voice led to a career in radio, where she was an actress on "The Whistler" and other shows during WWII, performing at times with the likes of George Burns & Gracie Allens, Bob Hope and Jack Benny.
Singleton met Lucille Ball in the late 1940s during a performance of the radio show "My Favorite Husband"; a few years later, Ball invited Singleton to join the cast of TV's "I Love Lucy" as Carolyn Appleby. Singleton appeared on 10 episodes of the show from 1953 to 1957.
By the mid-1950s the actress was busy with TV guest appearances on programs including "Adventures of Superman," "The Loretta Young Show," "The Great Gildersleeve," "The Bob Hope Show" and "Alfred Hitchcock Presents."
Singleton also appeared in a few feature films during the 1950s: "Terror at Midnight," "Affair in Reno" and "Voice in the Mirror."
She was a series regular on the brief 1960 series "Angel," recurred on "My Three Sons" as Margaret Williams and guested on "The Munsters," "The Dick Van Dyke Show" and "Gomer Pyle, U.S.M.C." during the decade; she also returned to work with Ball on episodes of "The Lucy Show" and "Here's Lucy" as well as the 1980 telepic "Lucy Moves to NBC," and she made appearances on dramas including "Gunsmoke," "Twilight Zone," "The Fugitive" and "The F.B.I."
Her credits during the 1970s included "All in the Family," "Marcus Welby, M.D.," "Phyllis" and the daytime soap "Days of Our Lives." Singleton made one of her last appearances in a 1982 episode of "Dynasty."
Singleton also appeared as an interviewee in the "American Masters" documentary "Finding Lucy" in 2000 and in an "E! True Hollywood Story" episode devoted to "I Love Lucy" in 2005.
Singleton's husband Charles Isaacs, a comedy writer, director and producer to whom she was married for 61 years, died in 2002.

RIP Joan Scott
June 27, 2012, 12:03 p.m.
In 1950s Hollywood, screenwriter Joan Scott seemed so adept at turning out tough-guy scripts that she became known as "the girl who writes like a man."
What the studios didn't know was she wasn't the writer. Her husband was.
She was married to Adrian Scott, the screenwriter who was blacklisted after refusing to cooperate with the communist-hunting House Un-American Activities Committee. Cited for contempt of Congress, he went to prison as one of the Hollywood 10.
When he was released he was unemployable, so Scott became his "front," taking his work to story conferences, keeping track of the revisions and giving him the notes at home so he could do the rewriting. When his work made it onto television shows, she took the credit under a pseudonym, Joanne Court.
Those were bitter years with one unintended benefit: "It was how I learned to be a writer," she told The Times years later.
Scott, who had a colorful career in her own right scripting stories for such popular shows as "Lassie" and "Have Gun – Will Travel," died June 19 in Woodland Hills, said her friend, Candy Tanaka. She was 91 and had vascular dementia.
Blacklisted herself, Scott fought to gain proper recognition of her work from the Writers Guild of America, which in 1980 began restoring credits to the authors of hundreds of screenplays who had been forced to use aliases or "fronts" during the McCarthy era. She was a technical advisor with a small walk-on part in the 1991 blacklist film "Guilty by Suspicion," which starred Robert De Niro.
In the 1990s the guild changed the screenwriting credits for the 1962 MGM release "Cairo" and the 1960 Disney film "The Magnificent Rebel" from Joanne Court to Joan Scott.
"She had a bitter life to some degree," said Patrick McGilligan, a historian who co-authored the 1997 oral history of the blacklist era "Tender Comrades." "I think of her as a stand-in for all the wives—and, in some cases, husbands—who were affected by the blacklist profoundly, horribly in her case, and never found their voice. Joan found her voice partly as a consequence of the blacklist, as a front for her husband. She emerged as a very sharp writer in her own right, not Oscar-nominated or famous but with a very interesting career."
She was born Joan LaCour in Long Branch, N.J., on May 21, 1921. Her mother performed in vaudeville, which led to a peripatetic childhood. Her father deserted the family when she and her identical twin sister were 2.
As the Depression deepened, she moved with family to Los Angeles around 1934 and attended Hollywood High School.
After World War II, when her disastrous first marriage to an Army lieutenant ended, she joined the left-leaning Hollywood Independent Citizens Committee of the Arts, Sciences and Professions as a volunteer and later as a staff member. She also joined the Communist Party but quit after six months.
In the early 1950s, she was executive secretary of the Television Writers of America union when a Hollywood columnist wrote an attack piece alleging Scott was part of a plot to get Communist propaganda into TV scripts. She was blacklisted and called to testify before the House committee investigating subversives in the movie and television industries.
She met Adrian Scott at a rally for the Hollywood 10 and began dating him after he was released from prison in 1951. In 1955 they were married at the home of another Hollywood 10 member, screenwriter Dalton Trumbo.
Adrian, who had produced the Oscar-winning 1947 movie "Crossfire," struggled writing story lines for comic books until he decided to try the then-new medium of television.
Many writers in his boat had turned to fronts in order to make a living, but the Scotts knew that was risky; some fronts were trustworthy but others, she said, "rooked you completely, shamelessly."
They eventually decided that Scott, who had been working as a typist, was the best person for the job. "It was a mistake in a lot of ways," she said in the oral history for McGilligan. "There were times when it almost severed our marriage. Then again, there were times when it also saved us."
She began fronting for her husband in 1955 on "Lassie," the popular children's series featuring the adventures of a brave collie and his young master. One night when Adrian and his story editor were stumped for ideas, she came up with one they loved. From then on, she wrote for the show herself.
"There were funny things about writing for that show," she told McGilligan. "You had to learn to think like a dog. We used to say, 'Lassie is classy, not like Flipper,' " a reference to the 1960s-era series about an adventure-loving pet dolphin.
She felt the strains of leading a double life, writing for "Lassie" while fronting for Adrian on other shows, including "Meet McGraw," "77 Sunset Strip" and "Surfside Six." Often he would explode in anger when she came back from story meetings with changes the producers wanted in his scripts.
One time she almost blew her cover in a story conference when she was asked about a crucial plot change that he had forgotten to tell her about. "I had to do all this double-talk until I'd got the producers so bewildered that they gave up and let it go," she told The Times in 1997.
Her husband eventually began writing under his own name again but his work went uncredited. He was only 61 when he died of cancer on Christmas Day in 1972.
"He'd had too much despair and disappointment," Scott said in 1997. "He died of cancer, but in my mind it was the blacklist that really killed him."
Scott, who had no children, is survived by her sister, Jean LaCour of Topanga; and a nephew, Doug Scott of Ann Arbor, Mich.
After her husband's death, Scott continued her career, writing for daytime soap operas and prime-time hits such as "The Waltons" and "Marcus Welby, M.D." She wrote an unpublished memoir, which she named, with a large measure of irony, "Adrian's Wife."

RIP K.S.R. Doss
Kannada film director KSR Doss passes away
Well-known south Indian filmmaker-editor KSR Doss, credited with successful movies in all southern languages, died in Chennai Friday evening. He was 75. He died at the Apollo Hospital where he was admitted for treatment of age-related health problems.
Terming the successful director's death as a great tragedy to the south Indian film industry, actor-filmmaker Dwarakish, who has made several Kannada and Tamil films, remembers Doss as a great human being and a talented director. "In the year 1975, I brought Doss to the Kannada film industry to direct an action entertainer like 'Kalla Kulla' which was a runaway success.
"He directed several commercially successful Kannada films later. He was always a producer's director," said Dwarakish. He also said Doss made several blockbusters with southern stars like NTR, Rajinikanth, Dr. Vishnuvardhan, Krishna, Ambareesh and Shankar Nag.
Film director D. Rajendra Babu, who worked with Doss as an associate director in many projects, described the latter as his mentor. "Doss was a film technician with exceptional talents. He taught me everything from editing, direction, shot composing in film direction and also how to behave with top stars, cine technicians and producers. He treated me like his own son," said Babu.
"Doss sir's death is a big tragedy in my life," added Babu. K.V. Chandrashekhar, president, Karnataka Film Chamber of Commerce, said Doss made great contributions to the Kannada film industry.
Doss, born in a small town of Andhra Pradesh, directed more than 20 Kannada films. He did many films with Telugu top stars NTR, Krishna (more than 30 films), Chiranjeevi and Shobhan Babu. He also directed Tamil and Malayalam films. Doss started his film career as an assistant editor to become one of the most sought after film directors in the south. He directed about 100 films in Telugu, Kannada, Hindi, Tamil and Malayalam.
Doss, who received the prestigious Puttanna Kanagal award, stayed in Bangalore for a long time and moved to Chennai just a few years ago. His other films include 'Sahodarara Savaal', 'Snehithara Savaal', 'Chinnadhantha Maga', 'Bangaaradha Gudi' and the superhit film 'Khaidhi, which gave a major lift to Dr. Vishnuvardhan's career. Doss directed 12 films with Vishnu and one successful film 'Thirugubaana' with Ambareesh.
He was also credited with introducing women-oriented, full-length action movies with 'Rowdy Rani' (1970) and cowboy movie 'Mosagallaki Mosagadu' (1971).

RIP Juan Luis Galiardo
Spanish actor Juan Luis Galiardo has died.
The actor had a successful career, which included more than one hundred films, theater and many television series, and worked until his last days, combining the filming of the series 'Grand Hotel', which is scheduled to return in fall to Antena 3, with the end of the tour of 'The Miser', his last and successful theater project. The actor's body will be cremated and burial will be held privately. The family has made a request to all friends and journalists to respect this request and thanked them for the affection received in recent days.
Juan Luis Galiardo Comes, was born in San Roque (Cadiz) on March 2, 1940, he participated in more than one hundred projects since his beginning in the world of acting, debuting with a role as a leading man in 1960 and after leaving studying Agricultural Economics and Engineering in Madrid. That record as one of the leading men of Spanish cinema led him to make the leap abroad, especially in Mexico, where he played various roles and developed a large television audience. On his return to Spain he co-founded a production company with several friends, Penelope Films, responsible for the film "El disputado voto del señor Cayo" (1986), by Antonio Giménez Rico, and the TV series "Turno de oficio", which launched the actor John Echanove, with whom he formed a partnership in Spanish cinema, they worked together in Spain, and Portugal. Throughout his career he combined leading roles with secondary characters. Titles like "Soldadito español" (1988) by Antonio Giménez Rico, "Don Juan, mi querido fantasma " (1989) by Antonio Mercer, "Pajarico" (1997) by Carlos Saura, and more recently "El caballero Don Quijote" (2002) by Manuel Gutiérrez Aragon, and "El oro de Moscú" (2002) by Jesus Bonilla, which gives a good account of the variety of films of his prolific career.

RIP Richard Adler
Composer, lyricist Richard Adler dies at 90 in NY
NEW YORK (AP) — Composer and lyricist Richard Adler, who won Tony Awards for co-writing snappy and infectious, songs for such hit Broadway musicals as ''The Pajama Game'' and ''Damn Yankees'' and who staged and produced President John F. Kennedy's birthday celebration featuring a breathy Marilyn Monroe, has died. He was 90.
Adler died Thursday at his home in Southampton, N.Y., his widow, Susan A. Ivory, said.
Some of Adler's biggest songs are ''You Gotta Have Heart,'' ''Hey, There,'' ''Hernando's Hideaway,'' ''Whatever Lola Wants,'' ''Steam Heat,'' ''Rags to Riches,'' and ''Everybody Loves a Lover.''
Adler staged and produced several shows for U.S. presidents, including the unforgettable 1962 extravaganza for Kennedy at Madison Square Garden where Monroe sang ''Happy Birthday.''
He and Jerry Ross wrote the music and lyrics to ''The Pajama Game,'' a light comedy about labor-management relations at the Sleep-Tite Pajama Factory, which won the best musical Tony in 1955.
In a 2006 interview with The Associated Press, Adler recounted how the song ''Hernando's Hideaway'' began from ''The Pajama Game.'' The show's authors, George Abbott and Richard Bissell, needed a tune for the second act, and Abbott approached Adler.
''He said, 'Write a song that can be performed in a dimly lit, smoke-filled nightclub with a lot of fervent-looking people. Oh, and make it Latin,''' Adler said. ''It was a piece of cake for me.''
What emerged was a frothy Latin tango with the lyrics: ''I know a dark secluded place/A place where no one knows your face/A glass of wine a fast embrace/It's called Hernando's Hideaway... Ole!''
The song went on to have a successful life outside the theater, hitting the top of the pop charts and later being recorded by Archie Blyer, band leader Billy May and even Ella Fitzgerald.
Did Adler think it would be a hit? ''No. I had no idea,'' he said.
Adler teamed up with Ross again for ''Damn Yankees,'' in which a rabid baseball fan sells his soul to the devil in exchange for a chance to lead his favorite team to American League pennant glory. It won the best musical Tony crown the next year.
The fruitful Ross-Adler union ended when Ross died of a lung ailment in 1955 at age 29. Adler went on to earn a Tony nomination for writing the lyrics and music for 1961's ''Kwamina.''
Adler was born in New York City in 1921 and graduated from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 1943. He served in the U.S. Naval Reserve during World War II.
He composed several symphonic works, including ''Wilderness Suite,'' which was commissioned by the U.S. Department of the Interior, and ''The Lady Remembers,'' to celebrate the Statue of Liberty's centennial. He also composed two ballets for the Chicago City Ballet: ''Eight by Adler'' in 1984 and ''Chicago.''
Adler also produced works on Broadway, including the play ''The Sin of Pat Muldoon'' and the musical ''Rex.'' He is a member of the Songwriter's Hall of Fame.
Adler is survived by his wife; his children, Andrew Adler, Katherine Adler and Charles Shipman; and three grandchildren, Damien and Scarlett Adler and Lola Jane Shipman

As discussed earlier, newer hepatitis C treatments are currently being studied that hopefully will not only cure more people but will also reduce its many side effects and length of therapy. In the meantime, a gene called IL28B has been found that may help predict how effective hepatitis C therapy will be in certain people. Not only is it associated with long-term responses to current standard therapy, it also helps forecast how fast the treatment response is.
In November 2009, results from the IDEAL study of 1,600 people showed that the "CC" version of IL28B (getting the gene from both parents) is associated with the best response to treatment. The "TC" type (only one IL28B gene from one parent) and "TT" type (no gene from either parent) were associated with poorer outcomes. Other factors that influenced treatment outcomes were hepatitis C viral load, ethnicity, liver fibrosis and fasting blood sugar. This gene will also have to be studied in all of the newer drugs now in study.
Confirming these results with more research is the next step. Nevertheless, developing a test that detects this gene could change medical practice for treating hepatitis C. Test results would give doctors and patients alike more information to make better decisions before starting therapy. Hopefully a new test will be developed quickly, perhaps before the end of 2010.

LCD TV shipments are expected to see a rebound in 2013, with an on-year increase in shipments of 5.7% due to demand from emerging markets and a revitalization of the US economy. China will also be an important market in 2013 and China-based TV vendors are expected to surpass Japan-based vendors in LCD TV shipments, with their total surpassing 50 million units. However, Korea-based TV vendors are expected to still hold the highest proportion of LCD TV shipments in 2013 at 37%.
Approximately 61 million, or 28%, of the LCD TVs shipped in 2013 will be outsourced to OEM manufacturers (as opposed to own-brand shipments), an on-year increase of 8.6%. Taiwan-based TV vendors are also expected to bump up their OEM shipments in 2013 by 18.6% to 44.5 million units, which will comprise 20% of global LCD TV shipments.
One reason for the slight increase in the share of OEM shipments will come from Japan-based TV vendors, which have increased their proportion of OEM-type shipments due to continuing losses in the LCD TV segment. The vendors have also been supplementing their R&D and production of entry-level to midrange products via Taiwan-based vendors and are looking for partners to help clear out their factories abroad. Among all Japan vendors in 2013, Toshiba may have only 23% of its shipments done in-house, which indicate that it will release over 10 million LCD TV order to OEMs. Meanwhile, Sony is expected to outsource 60% of its LCD TV production while Panasonic and Sharp are both expected to outsource about one third of their production, compared to less than 20% in 2012.
Taiwan-based LCD TV OEMs include TPV Technology, Foxconn Electronics, Wistron, Amtran Technology, Compal Electronics and Unihan, with most of their clients being in Japan. But the TV vendors are also expected to gain shipments through partnerships, such as the case between TPV and Philips as well as between Amtran and Vizio. Overall, TPV is expected to remain the largest Taiwan-based OEM in 2013 with an OEM market share of 38%, followed by Foxconn.
Ultra HD TVs will be a focus for LCD TV vendors in 2013 as well, and panel makers are expected to continue developing Ultra HD panels. Moreover, narrow bezel designs will also be a key design component for vendors in 2013 and LED backlit TVs will largely replace CCFL units during the time period as well.

ST. LOUIS, Mo. -- The Brandeis University women's soccer team dropped its second-straight University Athletic Association match, 2-1, at the hands of Washington University today. The Judges, ranked 20th, fall to 10-3-1, 1-2-1 in the UAA, while the fifth-ranked Bears move to 12-1-1, 3-0-1 UAA. WashU sits atop the UAA standings, tied with No. 1 Emory, while the Judges are currently tied for fifth place with Case Western Reserve.
Washington got on the board in the first half with some nice ball movement. Becky Berels and Lilly Toaspern completed a nice give-and-go action, with cross to the far corner, where Emily Gosche was waiting to knock it home for her third goal of the season. The Bears carried the 1-0 lead into halftime, outshooting Brandeis, 11-3, in the opening 45 minutes.
Brandeis looked to sway momentum in the second half, taking two of the first three shots. The Judges finally got an equalizer in the 54th minute when junior Kelly Peterson (Houston, Texas/Clear Lake) booted a free kick from nearly 40 yards out high over the leap of Bear goalkeeper Clara Jacques. It was Peterson's second goal of the season.
WashU looked to respond quickly, getting three straight shots on goal, but Brandeis sophomore Michelle Savuto (Ridgewood, N.J./Ridgewood) made the saves. The Bears broke through with the game-winning goal in the 71st minute, when Allie Betley crossed a ball to Lauren Steimle, and the reserve knocked it home for her third of the season. Washington was able to keep up its pressure on Savuto, getting the next five shots off. The Judges had one final surge late, but Jacques made the stop on Brandeis sophomore Dara Spital (Miami, Fla./Gulliver Prep) in the final minute of play to preserve the win for the home team
For the game, Savuto made five saves, but suffered the loss, while senior Francine Kofinas (Dix Hills, N.Y./Half Hollow Hills West) had two stops in the first 45 minutes. All four of Jacques' saves came in the second half for the Bears.
Brandeis next steps out of conference for two games, kicking off a four-match homestand on Thursday evening against Lesley College at 7 p.m.

MGP-2 – My Chapter One Homework Assignment
We have started the second round of study of the Mastering Genealogical Proof in the DearMYRTLE Genealogy Community on Google+.
I am again reminded, in the Preface of this book, about how many of us started in the study of family history. One thing I learned at the beginning was "Cite Your Sources". I have done that, thankfully. I knew why, at the time, mostly so that I could answer the question "Where did you get that information from"?
The first go time through this book, I learned lots. Mostly from the Conversation that took place with the Panel, and the Community as we worked through the book.
So why am I doing it again. To learn more.
Dr. Jones mentioned, in the preface, about being self educated. I got that one. But he continued about attending conferences to learn more. I can say "Been there, Done that". I learn something every time attend one. Either a local meeting, of which I try to attend 2 different ones a month, and up to Roots Tech 2014. Each time, I pick up a GEM at each one.
But my learning experience is now taking form by 'teaching' at two local senior centers locally. I am not sure that it's as much teaching as it is sharing my experience.
Without the tools, like this book, I would not have taken that next step. I learn from each class that I share. But the foundation is working through these home work assignment in my own way, based on the principals in this book.
One of the questions that was raised in the book is about the word Genealogy. I have seen a number of discussions about a genealogist and a family historian. Is there a difference? Should there be a difference?
If wasn't until I was asked to give a presentation at a local Historical Society did I start to understand the difference. My thought was the methods that a Genealogist does in their research. I wasn't there, that was for the professionals. I just wanted to get those names, dates, and places. I did that, BUT, what I realized was that I was capturing their Stories. The local Historical Society was capturing the story of the community, and I the stories of my families. For me it was a transition or the desire to find out who these people were and to try to tell their story for those that might follow.
The genealogists do have their principals of how they "work" and this workbook spells out the Genealogy Proof Standard. The five steps! Only five steps????
Looking for all of the records that you can find. I have talked about that in the blog from time to time. It's exhausting at times. But the trick that I learned between the MGP-1 and MGP-2 Study Group, is to go back and look at what you already have. After all, we / I have learned new "stuff" from the first time I looked at that record.
I did cite all of my sources the first time, but were then detailed enough. Easy answer, NO. I am not a student, so I didn't know how to cite correctly but my genealogy database program provided a feature to more accurately cite my sources.
That lead to the next step, which I "sort-a" did. I knew when something didn't look right, or appear right. But didn't know why. Somewhere along the way, I learned that I needed to evaluate what I was looking at. Does THAT make sense? I don't though the bad out, but know that the information I was looking at isn't mine person, or something is wrong with that piece of information. The puzzle pieces don't fit together.
The next step is to identify and resolve conflicting information. One of my students taught me this one. We had conflicting information on what a persons name was. The son of the person with the conflicting information was in the room. We were looking at a census record when we saw the conflict, and the student asked me to scroll up the page and down the page. OK, I did. He pointed out that the Census Taker wrote everyone's name the same way. Surname, Middle Initial, First Name. Easy resolution to that conflict. That resolution was put into the research notes for that fact, so that we knew that there was a conflict and how we resolved it.
The last step, isn't so easy for me, and that is to write up a proof statement. It's that writing down of the conclusion of your research that is very important. Of course, that conclusion may change with the next piece of information that you find. I have that in my own research, where the "paper trial" says one thing, but DNA test results shows another.
The most important lesson that I learned several times now, is the first step in this process. That is to have a Clear, Specific, stated Goal or Question to be answered.
For me, to get there, I have found that I need to cycle through these steps several times. Testing our findings, comparing and contrasting this new piece of information against what I had before.
One important thing that I learned / relearned this 2nd time through was the reminder that the jobs that I have had over the years, each had their own way of doing "things". Standards of how we worked. Before I retired, I worked with a group that did this all of the time. We knew how things were to be done, we put measures in place so that we could tell if we were doing a good job, created plans to improve what we were trying to do.
The real life learning experience has helped me with my family research. We could do lots of things really well, but other things, not so much. In our case it was the customer experience. The customer was seeing our overall performance, and would be the judge of how well we did.
Our research is the same. Each step is related to the others. Researching very well, without evaluating that research, my not lead to the correct conclusion.
I look forward to our continuing discussion on this book.

Pioneering North County organization will celebrate the anniversary with a Members-only show
Back in 1951, North County's art scene was still in its fledgling stages, but a group of emerging artists had a plan to collaborate on something big.
That effort became the Carlsbad-Oceanside Art League, better known as COAL, which celebrates its 62nd anniversary this month with a members-only show.
Oceanside artist Diane Adams, who joined the League in 1976, said she believes that COAL is the oldest surviving art association in North County.
"When I joined, we had no gallery. They were using a little house in Carlsbad off Grand Avenue," Adams said.
Over the years, membership has grown steadily. League President Charles Dozer said there are now 259 active members.
Adams said that besides offering local artists exhibition space, league membership is a good social outlet.
"It's great if you enjoy being a part of the arts community," she said. "There's a fair amount of networking that goes on, you can meet people with common interests, and you can find out about the latest materials, technology, techniques and supplies."
This month's all-media, members-only exhibit was juried by Daniel Foster, the new executive director at the Oceanside Museum of Art. Dozer said all show judges, like Foster, are nonmembers who are respected in their fields. To ensure objectivity and high quality, members are not guaranteed a space in any show.
Dozer, a photographer, said COAL's mission is to promote fine arts in the community. It hosts Art on the Green shows at the Carlsbad Village Inn, free weekly art demonstrations at the Calavaras Hills Recreation Center and the high school students' art show Oceanside Days of Art, and it gives out a dozen scholarships each year to high school students destined for careers in the arts.
The COAL gallery, supported by members' dues and gallery wall rentals, hosts a different show each month, including several themed exhibitions ("Animal Kingdom" is coming up in April, "Black and White" in June, and "Food" in October). Dozer said that for big shows like the Open Show in August, as many as 300 submissions are received.
"The COAL Gallery is a long-standing, well-respected and community-active organization for North County artists," Dozer said. "Not a lot of galleries can do what we do anymore. We've been blessed to do what we set out to do 62 years ago."
COAL Gallery 62nd Members Only Awards Show
When: 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Wednesdays, Thursdays and Sundays; 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays. Through March 31.
Where: 300 Carlsbad Village Drive, Suite 101, Carlsbad
Admission: Free
Phone: (760) 434-8497

I would like to set up a file server that is searchable, preferable via the web. I'm wondering if it would be possible to achieve this using the bittorrent protocol and have a single client sharing every single torrent on the server. I guess I could use some available tracker solution for the webinterface or write one myself.
My concerns are the if there are any limits to the number of torrents a single client can share since this may potentially be >10k torrents.
The number of downloading clients is very small, only myself and my relatives. The idea is to have a single place to host everything from vacation photos to musical creations.
Is there any other options for this kind of file server. It should also be easy to upload files to the server.

Celebration of Undergraduate Research, Scholarship & Creative Activity
Celebration of Undergraduate Research, Scholarship, and Creative Activity (CURSCA)
What is the Celebration of Undergraduate Research, Scholarship, and Creative Activity? It is an annual showcase of student scholarly and creative work, and provides a forum for students to share their work with, and be celebrated by, the Marist community. The first celebration was held in April 2002 and was limited to a display of posters.
Who must present? All students who have received any financial support for their research, scholarship and creative activities from the College are required to present at CURSCA, and will be given priority if space and time constraints arise. Students must have a faculty sponsor to submit and present their work.
What types of work may be presented? Students may present research or scholarly/creative activity that they have already prepared or presented for another purpose, such as an independent study or senior project, a conference presentation, or a recital. We prefer that students present work that goes beyond a course assignment; that is, work that represents a higher level of independent scholarship; however, work that was undertaken as part of a course is acceptable. A Faculty Committee will review and prioritize submissions based on available time and space. Please indicate any special needs (e.g., audio-visual or room configuration) regarding your presentation on the registration form.
What types of presentation are possible? (Please indicate your preference for presentation type on the registration form):
- Oral presentations will occur in the Performing Arts Room(SC3101) and will be limited to 12 minutes (10 minutes for presentation, with 2 minutes for a question & answer session).
- Posters should be set up between 10:30-11:00 AM in the designated spaces (SC3102-5) on easels and should remain up until 1:30 PM.
How much space is available to display posters? We can accommodate posters up to a size of 48 inches wide x 36 inches high. We will supply easels and presentation boards, but presenters should bring their own push pins or thumb tacks.
- Works of artistic expression (paintings, digital media, sculpture, music, dance, theater) will also be accommodated.
What if there is more than one author or presenter on my project? All co-authors may act as co-presenters. The registration form asks you to indicate one of the authors to serve as the Contact Person for the group. List other presenters' names after yours. Remember, each submission must have the approval of a faculty sponsor to present their work; this faculty sponsor will validate the quality of your work
How do I/we register? By completing the registration form and submitting it electronically.
Further questions? First see your faculty sponsor. For questions that they are unable to answer, contact a CURSCA Committee member from your school:CURSCA 2019 Committee:
Jessica Boscarino Associate Professor of Political Science
Kate Donham Associate Dean for Academic Affairs
Neil Fitzgerald Assistant Dean of Science and Professor of Chemistry
Raymond Kepner Co-Chair, Associate Professor of Biology
Elizabeth Reid Assistant Professor of Mathematics

Update on the Brian Aitken Case
A New Jersey appellate court has just reversed Brian Aitken's criminal convictions on two of three counts. Brian Aitken got caught up in New Jersey's gun regulations as he was moving from Colorado to NJ. His firearms were lawfully purchased in Colorado but ran afoul of certain NJ rules. The jury pleaded with the trial judge three times for additional guidance as to its options in the event they were persuaded that Aitkin was indeed moving. Each time the jury was rebuffed. The judge said not to worry as he had already determined that Aitken did not qualify for the special moving exemption in NJ law. The appeals court has now ruled that the trial judge erred (pdf).
Some may recall that Governor Chris Christie took action in this matter—he commuted Aitken's seven year sentence. Brian's legal battle continues nonetheless. A criminal conviction makes his life difficult—among other things, it affects child custody, credit, and his ability to keep a gun in his home for self-defense.
One happy twist to his ordeal with the state has been that Brian now works for liberty with our friends at the Foundation for Economic Education.

FreeHeat™ Perimeter Insulation System
Insulation in the right place saves you money, every day!
The investment in constructing a self-supporting shell allows Arctic Spas to insulate differently than everyone else. For our hot tub design inspiration, we didn't have to look far though – our homes in northern Canada provided us all we needed.
We insulate the exterior walls, the floors and most importantly the attics of our homes and we tuck everything important to us within this insulated envelope.
Ambient heat from the pump penetrates the spa shell and heats the water. In winter this heat returns to the pump area in the event of a power loss.
We have always believed that insulation below the water surface is of small value if the areas above and directly to the sides of the water are not adequately insulated (seriously, doesn't heat rise?).
The "attic" of our design is our Mylovac cover, which at 5" of thickness and featuring a full-length baffle is capable of retaining even more of your energy dollars.
Next, high density polyurethane foam is applied to the cabinet walls and lip underside to a thickness that stops heat loss.
We finish off this insulation envelope with the same foam applied into our floor systems. Then, we place all our equipment inside this cocoon, creating a perfect, stable operating environment.
More Innovation
To monitor this increased capacity for trapping waste heat, we have enabled our spa packs to take in internal cabinet temperature data and to activate the innovative RossExhaust™ system to balance the cabinet temperature when required.
Other Spas: Beware!
Insulation On Shell = Wasted Heat
Full Cabinet Insulation = Wasted Heat
Arctic Spas ®
Lowest Running Costs
This maintains spa water temperature and eliminates many of the heater cycles that other designs, particularly foam-filled insulated designs have to run. Fewer heater cycles mean a lower power bill each and every month.
True Freeze Protection
One last benefit of the FreeHeat design that we hope you never need is the ability of the spa water's heat to keep the cabinet from freezing in a power outage situation. Without any insulation between the water and the cabinet, heat energy transfer can work in both directions.
In our testing, and from anecdotal evidence, you have about 5 days, at -20ºC before freezing occurs within the cabinet and adding an alternate heat source (space heater, trouble light) can prolong this grace period indefinitely. Nice to have some margin for error, isn't it?

(AP) — Minnesota Attorney General Lori Swanson is distributing money to patients who claimed they were subject to aggressive collection tactics at Minneapolis-based Fairview Health Services.
Swanson has distributed $364,000 to 90 people. The money comes from a July agreement in which Fairview vendor Accretive Health paid $2.49 million to settle allegations that the company broke Minnesota debt collection and consumer protection laws.
A Swanson spokesman tells the St. Paul Pioneer Press (http://bit.ly/TWp86c ) former state Supreme Court Justice James Gilbert acted as a special master in deciding how to distribute the funds.
Individual awards vary from $1,000 to $7,000. The remaining $2.1 million will go into Minnesota's general fund.
Swanson alleged that Chicago-based Accretive Health instituted overly aggressive collection tactics at Fairview. The company admitted no wrongdoing as part of the settlement.

When NFA has the ball
Xavier coach Sean Marinan was surprised to see how much the Wildcats "share the wealth" when he first watched a video of their game with Staples.
"That's not good for us, from a defensive standpoint," Marinan said. When a team has a talent such as Marcus Outlow (143 carries, 1,388 yards), opposing teams generally are expecting a steady diet of the running back.
"I thought that Outlow would have been a bigger part of their offense," Marinan said.
The Wildcats have two 1,000-yard rushers; quarterback Joey Paparelli (118-1,006) cleared the mark against Staples on Sunday.
"They fly to the ball and they play very physical defense," Paparelli said of the Falcons, "but I think our offense is so fast and can hit you in so many ways that if we catch you sleeping one time, that's all it takes."
The backs and offensive line will have to deal with a big Xavier front line, including 6-foot-2, 269-pound tackle Max Schumann, who "has been having a great year for us," according to Marinan.
NFA coach Jemal Davis said the Falcons run a 3-3 stack up front and like to move their linebackers around.
"They try to confuse you in terms of who's coming and who's not coming," Davis said, "so we've really been focusing on the (offensive) line knowing who their responsibilities are because we haven't seen that all year."
When the Wildcats throw the ball, they had best know where No. 4, Nate Gonzalez, is. The junior defensive back already has seven picks this season.
"He's had a tremendous year. He's a little bit of a surprise," Marinan said. "He's actually a good offensive weapon as well, but he broke his thumb and only a week or two ago, he got out of the splint and got his hand back. He's been playing with a club in the secondary for most of the season and still has all those interceptions."
The Falcons will be watching Ryer Caruso (18 catches, 502 yards, nine touchdowns) closely, but Outlow (10 catches, 206 yards) and Ramel Williams (who also blocks well on the corner) also are threats for the Wildcats.
"I think we will be able to move the ball," Paparelli said. "Coach Davis is famous for making up plays on the fly. He will be calling in plays from the sideline and I will look at Marcus and ask, 'What is this play?' His famous line that we always tease him about is 'Just run it,' but he's very good at making adjustments. His brain is just firing at all times."
When Xavier has the ball
The first thing that NFA defensive coordinator Mike Murphy noted about Xavier was its balance; the Falcons balance the run and pass almost 50-50.
"Once again, we're faced with a challenge, a high-powered offense that we have to try and hold down," Murphy said.
That's difficult because of how well Xavier can mix it up.
"You tend to want to do some things based on tendencies, and when they have that balance, it makes it difficult," Davis said.
Start with Tim Boyle, the 6-foot-4, 202-pound quarterback who has verbally committed to play for Boston College next season. The senior threw for more than 1,800 yards with 18 touchdowns this season.
"He's a legitimate Division I quarterback, and that's great to have," Marinan said. "He's a weapon, and the big thing is that he has two years experience, which has helped him tremendously. He has learned how to let the game come to him."
Murphy said Boyle differs from Staples quarterback Jack Massie in that Boyle "throws a great ball," especially on the short routes. While Massie was a scrambler, Boyle does so only when pressured.
Like Staples, however, Xavier will attack out of the spread.
"They do a lot of bubble screens, kind of like New London, where they hope you jump the bubble screen and they hit the go route," Davis said. "If you play off, (Boyle) will throw to the open receiver and he has the arm and size to see down the field."
Boyle also has plenty of targets, starting with Kris Luster, who has more than 1,000 yards receiving this season with eight touchdowns.
"We work really well together," Luster said. "We've been together four years ever since we were freshman, and as the season has progressed, we started to see things at the same time.
"He sees a hole in the defense and I see the hole at the same time, and he will just look at me and say 'Do it.' I get open, he throws me the ball. We just know what they're going to do and capitalize on it."
If Luster is not open, Boyle also has the option of going to his outside receivers, James Sullivan and Joe Carbone, who has been coming on of late. If Boyle isn't looking ahead, he's handing off behind, where DeAngelo Berry, who finished with more than 1,500 yards and scored 32 touchdowns, has been a workhorse.
"It's kind of funny. We weren't paying attention and (Berry) has all these touchdowns. It's like, wow, where did they come from?" Marinan said.
Both Marinan and Murphy describe Berry as "elusive," a combination of fast and quick.
"He has quick feet and good balance, and that's what makes him dangerous," Murphy said. "He has good vision, too."
Press clippings from the game against Daniel Hand indicated that the Falcons were thrown off by the Tigers' physical style of play. The same could be said for Staples when it played NFA; the Wildcats just punched the Wreckers in the mouth, so to speak.
"It's probably the biggest thing that we bring to the table. We're just a physical team," offensive lineman Cody Brown said. "Again, it's the weight room where we put the work in and we love to hit kids. That's basically the bottom line."
It's also the name of the game, according to Murphy.
"I think it's extremely important," he said. "It wakes people up and tells them it's for real. Obviously, they're going to come out and do the same thing, try to be physical with us."
A key for the Wildcats will be trying to get some pressure on Boyle; give him time to throw and he's going to eat it up.
"The question is, can you do it?" Murphy said. "You have to find ways to do it because you have a quarterback who can spread you out and you have to take guys out of the box."
Independent view
The only coach to beat Xavier in the last three years has been Daniel Hand's Steve Filippone. His Tigers beat Xavier, 40-20, on Oct. 13.
"How do you beat Xavier?" he said. "Let's see. First of all, you had better be ready to play very physical football because they're going to play physical. You have to get a couple of breaks, I will tell you that, because we certainly had them. We had a ball bounce into one of our lineman's hands on a 4th-and-4, which eventually turned into a touchdown.
"So, No. 1, you have to be physical. No. 2, it has to be your night. If you're not physical and they play their best game, I don't know if anybody beats them. But I've seen NFA play, and they have the ability to beat them. They have the speed (and) the ability to throw the football, and if anybody can do it, they can pull it off.
"I think what (Xavier) learned after our game, and this is just my thought, was that you just can't count on running the football against a good defense. You have to develop your passing game, and if they had thrown more against us, they might have been in a better spot.
"But coming into our game, they had such success with Berry running the ball that it wasn't part of their game plan. Now it is. Half the state believed Staples was the best team in the state, better than us, better than Xavier. They're a great program, but they're not here (at the championship banquet Monday) because of (NFA)."

Admit it, crew: at some point over the past 10 years, you wore something truly heinous. It was often a rough decade for fashion, and we all have the hilarious pictures to prove it. So why not send them in?
We all made some mistakes over the past decade; I spent much of the year 2000 with my face coated in roll-on glitter, and, over the course of the next ten years, watched many of my friends work their way through faux-vinyl pants, trucker hats, velour tracksuits, and other horrible trends of the era before realizing they looked, well, pretty stupid. Am I proud of my days walking around looking like a human disco ball? No. But when I see the pictures, I have to laugh. That's the best part of terrible fashion missteps: at some point, the evidence moves from being humiliating to being hilarious. Ready to laugh at your own fashion disasters? Then send pics of your best (or worst) fashion faux pas of the 00s to me at firstname.lastname@example.com with "Past Fashion" in the subject line. Be sure to include a brief description of the outfit and the year the photo was taken. The last day for submissions is next Sunday, December 19, so dig out that old photo album and hit the scanner!

Rally Reminder!
Don't forget about the Columbus State Veterans Rally, to be held tomorrow at 9 a.m. near the Columbus statue. We'll salute our own veterans on campus, and cheer them on as they march downtown to join the Columbus Veterans Day Parade, starting at Nationwide at noon. There will be live music, singing of the National Anthem, appreciation remarks, and a fundraiser for Blue Star Mothers (mothers of military service members). The downtown parade begins at noon at Nationwide Blvd. and High St., officially welcoming home our Iraq War veterans.
Welcome Wagon and moving consultant rolled into one
Leslie Hoffman, Building Services, was so helpful and enthusiastic about setting up the new Long Street offices last year, that "she was like Welcome Wagon and a moving consultant all rolled into one," says Tom Lyons, Knowledge, Resources and Planning.
Lyons nominated Hoffman for Staff Employee of the Month, amazed at her dedication and ability to anticipate their every need at the new location. Hoffman was given the November SEOM award at a ceremony held Nov. 7 attended by her co-workers and a roomful of supporters. You can see a video of the ceremony here: http://youtu.be/ICIIg-Gcz7s.
"Leslie is easily one of the best fellow employees I've met here at Columbus State," says Lyons. "She showed uncommon interest in making our move successful. She showed up every day in our new offices to bring supplies and equipment. She dusted, checked light bulbs, and asked if we needed extension cords. In short, she took it upon herself to take care of all the little details—all delivered with her special brand of enthusiasm."
Hoffman also has a special bond with Columbus State, having graduated here in 2000 and worked with Aramark catering on campus until 2010, when she was hired by Physical Plant to join Building Services. "We are very fortunate to have her on our team," says Supervisor Chris Terry. "She truly goes above and beyond in her efforts every day. Thank you for recognizing Leslie's excellent performance!"
Kreger and students help Channel 6 with election coverage
Political Science instructor Jon Kreger spent part of election night as a political analyst for WSYX-TV (ABC 6) in Columbus. He was part of their continuous live coverage on the station's low-power channel. It was simulcast on one of the station's digital cable channels. Kreger also took a couple of his students from one of his classes, who assisted in the newsroom by monitoring political websites and taking notes. That information was then filtered through a producer who passed on key points for the anchors to mention on the air. See Channel 6 video here. (scroll down to "Election Day Panel" story)

Coming from eclipse I've developed my own coding standards which I got used to. In Visual C# 2010 however, it appears that some coding standards that MS recommends are enforced in the default configuration.
E.g.: I'm used to write conditional statements like this:
if (somecondition) {
return true;
} else {
return false;
But the braces are forced to a newline in visual c#. Is it recommended to use that standard ?

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. -- The Ivy League has announced the names of 80 student-athletes - including 10 from Harvard-who have been named to the fall 2009-10 Academic All-Ivy League team.
The honorees are starters or key reserves on officially recognized varsity teams who have cumulative grade-point averages of at least 3.0. Each of the eight Ivy League schools nominates five men and five women from its eligible student-athletes.
The football team headed the men's list with two selections, while women's soccer produced three of the five female selections.
Senior Lizzy Nichols of the women's soccer team makes her third appearance on the Academic All-Ivy team after being named All-Ivy League for the fourth straight season. A finalist for the Lowe's Senior CLASS Award, Nichols led Harvard to its second-straight Ivy crown.
Joining Nichols from the soccer team were sophomore Melanie Baskind and junior Katherine Sheeleigh.
Sheeleigh, a three-time All-Ivy selection, was also named to the ESPN The Magazine Academic All-District team. She led Harvard in scoring with 21 points and goals with eight. Baskind also earned mention by ESPN The Magazine and scored twice in the championship-clinching win at Columbia in the final game of the regular season.
Junior Claire Richardson was one of two cross country representatives on the team. Richardson is a two-time NCAA qualifier in cross country, a two-time all-region selection and a two-time all-academic pick. This season she earned all-league status and had a top 100 finish in the NCAA Championships.
Elizabeth Goodman-Bacon rounds out the women's selections with the senior field hockey player earning the nod after captaining the team and starting all four years at midfield and back for the Crimson.
Senior linebacker Jon Takamura and junior safety Collin Zych led the men's selections with both earning all-league status. Takamura led Harvard in interceptions and sacks despite missing a game and starting just two. Zych meanwhile, led the Ivy League in pass breakups and passes defended while ranking third in the league in solo tackles with 53. He was named team MVP at its awards banquet and will be the next captain of Harvard football next fall.
Junior Daniel Chenoweth makes a return to the list after finishing among the top 45 runners at this year's NCAA Championships for a second consecutive season. An Ivy League Heptagonal champion, Chenoweth is a two-time All-Northeast Region selection and All-Ivy League honoree.
Egen Atkinson represents the men's water polo team with the senior attacker and team captain finishing a fine career with 28 goals and 10 multi-goal efforts including two hat tricks this fall. He also was named to the All-Northern Division first team.
Andre Akpan finished an amazing career by being named the Ivy League Player of the Year. A four-time All-Ivy League pick and two-time All-American, Akpan stands first in Harvard history with 127 career points and 33 assists while ranking tied for first in program history with 47 goals.
The Ivy League will publish two more editions of the Academic All-Ivy League team during the 2009-10 academic year, one following the winter season and one at the end of spring competition.

My name is Franck. Before beginning, let me apologize if I make mistakes but I'm French and, as you know, the French are not known to speak foreign languages correctly! I will try to do my best (and Google traduction will help me!).
I have recently joined your community, but I'm a great fan of The Fixx since 1984 and the discovered of the wonderful "Phantoms" album (and my passion is intact after all this time ...).
As The Fixx has never been successful in France and unfortunately remains completly unknown here, and as we cannot find any information in french about the band on the Web (except the Wikipedia french page that I've already created), I recently built a french Website devoted to The Fixx.
You can visit it at this adress : http://thefixx.wix.com/the-fixx
If you know french people which can be interested in the activity of the band, just let them know the existence of this Website.
I hope you'll enjoy it. You will also discover some of the fantastic pics taken and sent by Heimo after the recent German "Beautiful Friction" tour (thank you again Heimo!)
Have a nice day and long live to The Fixx!

BALTIMORE – UMBC sophomore Mercedes Jackson (Huntingtown, Md./Huntingtown) broke her own school record in the 60m dash twice while competing against a national field at the Penn State National Invitational on Friday evening.
Jackson, who previously reset her record to 7.42 two weeks ago at the Penn State Relays, was the top qualifier in the preliminary round with a time of 7.44. She then blazed past this time as the top attached runner with a semifinal time of 7.39. Jackson was not done, however, finishing in 7.34 in the finals.
In the field events, senior Amanda Deller (Aberdeen, Md./Aberdeen) placed 18th in the weight throw with a toss of 15.15m (49'8.50").
On the men's side, freshman Thor Serafenas finished seventh in the weight throw after recording a personal-best heave of 16.95m (55'7.50"), the fifth-best throw in the conference. Junior Yao Adantor (Laurel, Md./Reservoir/Morgan State/Maryland) finished three places back, also notching a personal-best toss. His toss of 16.66m (54'8.00") moves his up to sixth all-time in UMBC history.
Freshman Hassan Omar (Frederick, Md./Thomas Johnson) also put together a record-breaking performance at Penn State. Omar finished fifth in the 5,000m run in a personal-best time of 14:54.04 to move into third all-time in UMBC history. Omar's time also ranks as the second-fastest in the America East this season.
Also for the men, senior Dennison Long (Greenbelt, Md./Eleanor Roosevelt/FIU) advanced to the semifinals in the 60m dash. He placed tenth in the heat with a time of 6.90, just two-one-hundredths off his personal-best of 6.88 which he set two weeks ago on the same track.
Senior Trae Proctor (Brandywine, Md./Thomas Stone) also advanced, reaching the semis in the 60m hurdles.
The Penn State National Invitational will continue tomorrow, while other UMBC track and field athletes will compete at the Patriot Games at George Mason.

My current apartment lacks air conditioning of any kind. Good for the environment and the utility bill, but bad for me and my restless sleep. News today of some crazy 90% more efficient AC has made me feel worse.
This miraculous AC does what it does courtesy "DEVap." For the layman, and me, this means it uses liquid desiccants and "evaporative coolants" to effectively cool previously hard-to-cool dry heat. And instead of nasty CFC refrigerants, the DEVap uses a salt solution. Less global warming that way— a good thing!
Of course there's the usual caveat: This is lab-only for now until researchers decipher a way to mass market it to sweaty schleps like me. Then again, since you're a well-read individual used to fantastic discoveries being described as "available in the future," you already knew this. [NREL via Engadget]
