House of Cards
Instead of wasting brain space in front of the television last night, I reached for my new "House of Cards" game. Charles and Ray Eames designed this graphic puzzle, and it's sold through the MoMA store, which naturally stocks a number of highbrow design offerings like the iconic Eames Lounge Chair and the surreal Rnd_Time Clock with its cool, scattered numbers.
Each card in the "House of Cards" deck has a quirky illustration on one side, and the familiar Eames modernist dotted star on the other, along with six slots. This is basically Jenga with playing cards, and it's an absolutely seductive way to waste time. Between the endless building possibilities, and the delightful graphics, it turned out to be a fun and challenging evening diversion.
The game was sent to me by the folks at DesignMyRoom.com, one the many online decorating businesses popping up these days. DesignMyRoom allows users to upload a room photo, then drag and drop paint colors, furniture and the like into the picture. You also can look at cyber-rooms other people have created, and glean inspiration from celebrity tastemakers like Robert Verdi from "Surprise By Design." Users can tackle one project for free, or upgrade for a small fee and work on multiple rooms at once.
I haven't used one of these online design services yet. Have you?

Computer Labs are the ugly ducklings of libraries, very rarely get discussed, very few presentations on best practices, disgruntles reference librarians everywhere "I did not go to library school to help somebody play with Facebook", and all that jazz. I have never understood that opinion but I am not here to try and change anybody's mind about the need, but to discuss the future of computer labs in libraries (my experience is in public libraries).
As background, mpow's computer use statistics were down from last fiscal year, and this year looks to be down again. At our height we were at nearly 140,000 uses per year (that is a lot of bodies in the library, even including the people that come in 3 times a day – there is your need) for a town around 70,000. Last year we were at about 121,000, this fiscal year I think we will be around 112,000 at best. And, for those of you wondering, we have good computers, up-to-date programs, and a dedicated, friendly staff. We are also in the midst of remodel and have added no new computers, probably a first for a remodel in the last 10 years, right? In fact, I have purposely designed the new computer commons to degrade gracefully to work areas for laptops users in a few years. But even if your statistics are going up, you see the writing on wall don't you?
What are we going to do when usage goes down to 90k, 35k? Is the computer lab something we are going to be glad to get rid of? Is it even important to the mission of the library of the future? Most importantly, how are we going to keep these library patrons engaged with us (don't give me any of that crap that computer users aren't real library patrons)?
I don't have the answers, but I do have ideas. I hope you have some to share as well.
Perhaps, depending on your community, it is time to really think about creating a Media Lab, Maker Space, Craft Area, Art Room, Game Center, Music Center, Tech. Petting Zoos, Philosophy Discussion Rooms, Idea Box and other spaces. Design a space that people cannot easily or cheaply create, and pulls together the community.
It is time to consider how to better start teaching technological literacy via group, 1 to 1 classes, and by video. Become the obvious neighborhood expert. No more should teaching be optional for librarians, no more should user instruction classes be optional for library school students.
We have, through computer labs, already positioned ourselves as technology experts to a large portion of our community. I believe we need to grasp that label as hard as we can and expand on it. I think all librarians should say a thank you to computer labs for providing one potential future.

Regular S vs Performance
Regular S vs Performance
I've been considering the same thing. I think the only other differences are a spoiler and performance interior which is leather + alcantara, which looks really nice.
In terms of 0-60 times, I currently drive a BMW 328 and the difference between the regular and performance appears to be about the same as the difference between a 328 and an M3.
I drove a performance model S last week and it was super fun, but flooring it scared my wife and mom and made me feel like I had just dropped down the first hill on a roller coaster.
There is no way you will be disappointed with a 'plain' S. I have the performance and it is scary fast, but the linear, no-gear-change, punch-it-at-any-speed of the electric power train in both models is the thing that differentiates the S from everything else on the road.
Remember that even the non-perf out accelerates most things on the road, and when accelerating to overtake at highway speed will blow away pretty much anything.
You will not be disappointed in a standard unless you are absolutely an acceleration junkie. Or need to drag race from stop lights a lot :-).
The acceleration on the standard S is enough to make my 2nd grade son say "whoa" even when I didn't completely floor it.
@dmaescher: I specifically requested a non-perf car for my test drive because I didn't want to be tempted to upgrade. It had incredible power and was far-and-away the best car I've ever driven. After finalizing my configuration for a 60kWh (non-perf), I went back and test-drove a performance S just for comparison. I could hardly tell any difference between the two in normal driving conditions. I'm sure you would lose some drag races in the non-performance car, but assuming that's not worth the extra money, you won't be dissapointed with the non-performance.
dmaescher. It all comes down to your expectations. What is important to you? 1.2 seconds and approx. $15K is a big difference. If the price isn't an issue get the Performance, this way you will not regret not getting something you really wanted.
To me, the Performance 'S' isn't worth it because I don't race on the streets. I may not be the perfect person to poll since I ordered a 60kWh battery.
@Jamon, that was exactly my reason for driving the non-perf during the Get Amped event, too! I didn't want to get tempted into something I couldn't afford, and I too finalized on the 60 kWh. I have yet to drive/ride in a Performance. My delivery is within a month!
I purposefully test drove the none-perf. knowing that I am getting the Perf. model, and I love my P85.
"You will not be disappointed in a standard unless you are absolutely an acceleration junkie. Or need to drag race from stop lights a lot"
That last sentence describes me totally. Has anyone rolled the front windows down when you punch it?? The car is so quiet, you don't realize how fast you are going, when you roll down the window and both hear and FEEL the wind struggle to get out of your way, man, it's so much fun!!
I can perhaps provide an interesting posint of view. I currently drive a v10 M5 and test drove the 85kwh non-performance S. The accerleration both off the line and while crusiing was a different feeling and still gave me the acceleration I desired. I am not one to forgo performance for the sake of economy, I finalized a non-performance S because it still gave me the thrill you get in an M5.
I have a non-Performance version, but test drove the Performance at the factory tour. There is a difference, albeit slight, at takeoff. The Performance throws you back immediately, and the non-Performance throws you back but it takes a fraction longer to happen. That was the only real difference I could sense. The 0-60 times are probably overestimated by Tesla, as Motor Trend got 3.9 s out of the Performance, but hasn't reported a non-Performance time, which I am guessing is right around 5.0 s from my own crude testing :)
This past weekend, I floored the car with 4 passengers and golf clubs in the back, and it threw everyone back in their seat and planted them there, with varied screams of delight and terror from the passengers. It was awesome, and I don't regret not having the Performance version at all. I also think the Performance version without the 21" wheels is kind of a waste of $, and those tires won't get the mileage I need for my purposes.
Talk about "unnoticeable", the 60 kWh battery gets you 0-60 mph in 5.9 sec vs. 5.6 in the non-performance S. That's Bang For The Buck for us 60 kWh reservation holders!
Actually, 6.5 sec for a standing start 0-60 is damn fast. I think even the 40 kWh cars are going to be quicker than people anticipate (except for you M owners and other speed junkies).
@E60 M5 Owner
Oh really? you drive an M5? I had no idea =P
I was driving behind an M5 yesterday in the Bay Area with plates that read, "NICE TRY"
I wanted to give him a try against my P85 but the traffic was too heavy... :(
Rd2 has it right about the perceived performance, however Motor Trend did test the standard model S too so we have hard numbers.
The results are standard P85 vs Perf P85.
0-30 2.3 vs 1.7
0-40 3.1 vs 2.4
0-50 4.0 vs 3.1
0-60 5.0 vs 4.0
0-70 6.1 vs 5.0
0-80 7.4 vs 6.3
0-90 8.9 vs 7.7
1-100 10.8 vs 9.5
45-65 1.9 vs 1.7
1/4 mile 13.2 at 110.9mph vs 12.4 at 112.5mph.
Note how quick the standard is after 30mph.
Although not as fast as the performance version these are really fast and once beyond 30 mph (and probably less) in the BMW M5 league.
Oh and 30-90 is 6.6 vs 6.0! This standard MS is only .3 sec slower than the 2013 BMW M5 at 6.3sec. That is hardly noticeable.
Almost anyone would be happy with performance like that. Also it saves about $13,500.
I know everybody has seen the P85 vs. M5 video, just remember that is 0-100 mph, past 100 mph, in a half mile, mile, or track the M5 will dominate.
It's true that the M5 will dominate past 100 mph, but in reality none of us ever need to drive that fast. For 99% of real world driving scenarios the Model S is the faster car.
Depends on the individual, I quite regularly take the M5 past 100, and occasionally track it. With a top speed above 200 mph, its a force.
That being said, I am getting an MS and believe its a sign of the times not just from an eco friendly perspective, but also performance
Since you go to tracks that extra oomph over 100 mph does make a difference :)
I ride motorcycle & enjoy sports cars. The top end of a vehicle isn't as fun for me as getting from 0-speed limit & passing quickly. I test drove the S & SP before deciding on the SP. I couldn't tell much of a difference but generally go for my vehicles fully loaded. At this point I may be selling my motorcycle come Spring. The joy of accelerating in the S is meeting my needs for speed(& I have Winter wheels on). I am confident that S & SP owners are having the same experiences.
Sold my Yamaha YZF-R1... and the money is going towards my MS! :)
All I can say is... http://green.autoblog.com/2012/10/09/tesla-model-s-vs-bmw-m5-drag-race-v...
Seriously, the MS Peformance is stupid quick in real-world driving, and very little can overtake it (even exotics), because the torque is so instant. In Germany, on the Autoban, I am sure most V8's will overtake in in the long-run, however, I don't live in Germany, and where it counts in typical eveyday driving, the MS Peformance destroys EVERYTHING (Lambo's, 911GT's, M's, etc).
Here're the 30+ deltas from that table:
0-30 2.3 vs 1.7 (+0.6)
30-40 0.8 vs 0.7 (+0.1)
40-50 0.9 vs 0.7 (+0.2)
50-60 1.0 vs 0.9 (+0.1)
60-70 1.1 vs 1.0 (+0.1)
70-80 1.3 vs 1.3 (+0.0)
80-90 1.5 vs 1.4 (+0.1)
90-100 1.9 vs 1.8 (+0.1)
45-65 1.9 vs 1.7 (+0.2)
The interior details tipped the scale for me. I don't care for perforated leather and that is the only leather option available in the standard model. I liked some of the other interior details as well.
Unless the folks at Tesla made a horrible mistake assembling my car, the standard has non-perforated leather.
The Perf interior has the alcantara accents on the seats, the alcantara headliner and the piping. I'm told lots of folks move up to the Perf to get the red piping that goes with the black leather interior.
Thanks Brian H,
You saved me from having to do it myself. I got a bit lazy with my last table.
Maybe the perforated leather only applied to the Signature models. I see that they took down the specifications for the Signatures on the webpage so I couldn't check to see if that was the case.
My main reason for going with the performance version is that the carbon fibre is the only interior option I really like. I also like the Alcantara accents on the seats and the dark wheels. The actual performance upgrade is nice, but I wouldn't pay $10k for that alone.
And the perforated leather was only delivered on the Signature non-perf cars.
This is one of the most informative threads in the forum - thanks!
Very useful thread indeed! Are there any performance numbers for the 60 kwh? I am assuming the above non-perf numbers a from the 85 kwh model s. Are those getting the 60 and 40 kwh going to have the same fun passing cars?
I don't have the actual numbers because the P60 has not been tested. However extrapolating from the data that Tesla has provided (just two numbers plus HP and torque) and a factor for the difference between Tesla results and Motor Trend results.. Here is my best guess (using a curve fitting technique) if MT had tested it.
0-30 2.4 sec
0-40 3.2

Note that the 0-60 and 1/4 mile times are less than Tesla... this is because MT has come in with shorter times in their tests for the P85 and S85 (partly because MT uses a 1 foot rollout as most other testing agencies do, which I believe Tesla did not.
The acceleration curves I provided were relatively easy to calculate for the P60 car. The acceleration curve will likely be indicative of the real thing although not exact because of not having enough data points. I have not even attempted to do the P40 however, because the acceleration curve is harder to extrapolate and is likely to be off by a considerably larger margin.
It will be interesting to see what the real test data shows.

Alright, this week I NEED to get back into gear. I will NOT let my new job be an excuse to stress out and not planning.
I'm currently at 181.4 lbs, same as last week. This NEEDS to change, I want to see the 170s again badly.

Well I hate to admit it but I am looking around for another plan. This is not working well with me gaining week after week instead of losing. I am going to stick it out one more week and see what happens but then I don't know what I will do. I am very aggravated, had me a good pity party and got next to no work done this morning. So now here I sit trying to finish up and have a little time with DD tonight.

mickee, do you mean something other than WW?
Tell us what you decide.
Yes I do mean something other than WW. I do like WW and it used to work for me, but it just isn't right now. I have been looking into going back to Protein Power (Drs. Michael and Mary Dan Eades) which is low carbing. I lost 83 pounds doing that. Or I am thinking of good old calorie counting and using a Body Bugg. I just don't know. I know when I was off plan I at least maintained, and now on plan I am gaining. So something has to give. I will let you know what I decided to do. I am going to stick it out another week here at least and then maybe decide. I have invested so much in books, e-tools, etc. that I hate to give WW up, but talked to a leader today who did not have a whole lot of options either.
Urgh yesterday was a total mess up day, super high calorie - but impossible to count because of a nasty stomach flu. I wasn't going to ponder how much of my meal came up.
So instead, I'll just start fresh buddies!
Mickee - I understand your frustrations. I'm right there with you. So I started looking at my old journals and seeing what ended up working for me. I'd love you to still stay with us and post what you're eating, without worrying about the points.
I'm going back to something I did like the Abs diet, just a lot more proteins and a lot of fruits/veggies.
My plan will always look like this from morning right up until dinner:
Breakfast will be a smoothie with soy milk and vega (4)
snacks will be nuts (5) and fruit, or oatmeal (4)
lunch will be kashi almond flax cereal(5) with soy milk and fruit.
Dinner will be lots of veggies, whole grain and a source of protein.
Snacks will have to be a smoothie, fruit or oatmeal.

B: rainbow smoothie
L: large green salad with kidney beans, pineapple and applie slices
S: valentine's treats (no more WPA's left)
D: rice and beans, shredded wheat and soy milk, pineapple, salad
All done for the day and no food until tomorrow's breakfast.
mickee keep us posted and I hope you find something hat fits for your lifestyle right now.
Mickee- I'm sorry for how things are going right now. Is it possible to merge plans and see how that goes? Can you count points following the low carb plan and still make it all work? Kind of like when you eat Core foods but count the points to monitor portion control? Is there anything going on health-wise that might be affecting things? I know that I really only lose one week out of the month. That's my only real weight loss. The other weeks I either maintain, gain or have a slight loss. That's been my pattern for ages.
Kimberley - I just don't know. Just in a rut and trying to think through it. When you low carb that means only 30-40 ECC (cab minus fiber) carbs a day. To give you an idea of what that would mean, half a banana has 10 cabs, my 2% milk has 12 carbs, slice of bread 14 carbs, greek yogurt has 20 carbs. So that means you eat, protein, meat, cheese, nuts to your hearts content. My minimum protein requirement would be 57 of course you can eat more, but not less. So I thought of trying to do that years and years ago, combining the 2 plans, but it really doesn't work like that. I may have to just come to terms of not losing and be content knowing I am eating better and just stay fat. We will see what happens.
glad to report that I successfully stopped eating at dinner time last night.
Mickee, I have never followed one of those low carb diets and, to be honest, the idea of eating only meat, cheese, eggs, and nuts in order to put my body into an artificial state ( ketosis?) also does not seem sustainable.
I know it is frustrating. Have you been going back and forth between SFT and points? I think you have mentioned how you do not plan too far ahead for meals and maybe that will have to change. As the old saying goes, if we keep doing the same things we get the same results.
My results are not so great lately because my tracking is not accurate and I go over my WPA's. I know this, I know I can change this. If I did not arrive here daily I would have no accountability anywhere, and on my own has not been successful.
I hope you can come to some plan for yourself.
WPA free as I have non left!
B: Rainbow smoothie
L: leftover rice and beans for lunch, thawed frozen berries for lunch dessert
D: chickpea kale soup, lite toast, salad,
S: banana, orange, rice/soy milk and shredded wheat, potato with salt

I really felt much better when I did low carb. I did it for a year, lost 83 pounds, but got off for Thanksgiving and then never got back on. it is one of those things if you stay consistent it works for you, if you don't it doesn't. Kinda true with every plan, with the exception of the first time you low carb is golden and when you try to go back it never works as well repeat times as it did the first go around.
The first month I did SFT and lost well, but then when I was able to get the products from the farm with the additional fat, I decided counting would be better to incorporate them into my diet, but then I didn't lose weight either. So yes, I have tried both plans and so now just stuck in a quandary of what to do. I do count everything, but do go over sometimes too. So just trying to think it out. I have spent a lot on e-tools, books, etc. so hate to give up WW but hate to continue gaining too.
Mickee - I would hate to see you give up because of gains. I've had gains too since the new program, but I think with this one - it's to just really measure/count everything. I was doing "Oh, this is about 1 cup - if it was 4 pts on the old plan, it must be 5 now"
And you don't need to go low carb either, perhaps try to only eat whole grains. This is my challenge this week, to ensure it's either bulgur, brown rice, whole wheat couscous, etc.
I've cut sugars this week and it seems to be REALLY helpful!
Post your menus for a few days and maybe we can help you out!

Really nice with red river hot cereal and almond milk, and the cut up kiwi.
Don't know yet about the rest of the day, but I'm starting off with a nutrient dense meal!

October sees the pheasant, woodcock and capercaillie shooting season begin and so listed below are The English Manner's top etiquette blunders to avoid at all cost when out in the fields.
– Never attend a shoot if you have never held a gun or had adequate training. Being dangerous is considered frightfully rude
– Pick up all spent cartridges at the end of drives. This used not to matter but now in the environmentally-friendly society we live in, it is considered bad form not to
– Make sure you mark your quarry for pickers-up and their dogs: never leave a dead bird to rot
– Always ask what one is allowed to shoot before commencing. Hosts will have different rules from each drive to the next
– The polite guns never boast about their scores
– In the unfortunate circumstance that one shoots something that one is not supposed to, or that you cause a fellow gun an injury, it is expect that you leave the party immediately. Other guns are expected to be discreet about the incident, too. NB: If a major accident occurs, unwritten rules of etiquette dictate that the guilty gun never shoots again
– Restrain yourself: a shoot is not the place for loud, bawdy behaviour
– Under no circumstances should one shoot a white pheasant
– Never swing your gun along the shooting line or in the direction of other guns
– Make sure each bird shot is dead before proceeding onto the next one. It is better to use both barrels on one bird than two barrels on two birds (with the first barrel not yet fully killed).
– Do also remember to tip the keeper. Anything from £15 upwards is usual; more if he has cleaned your gun.
Unsure about the terminology used in this blog? Next week: a beginner's guide to shooting terms.

It is a sad end to 2013 for the global press freedom community.
With the sudden death of CPJ Mexico Representative Mike O'Connor, 67, on Sunday, Mexican journalists have lost one of their most formidable advocates. Mike will be remembered as someone who was on the forefront of the struggle for press freedom. His superb skills as an investigative journalist helped scores of reporters across the country during a period marred by violence and censorship.
Since he started working for CPJ in January 2009, Mike played a critical role as an advocate for the rights of Mexican journalists to report the news without fear of reprisal. He was an exceptional journalist, truly committed to the cause of human rights and press freedom, and his extensive travels across Mexico gave him a profound understanding of the problems that local journalists face in a climate of lawlessness and fear.
Javier Garza Ramos, former editor of the embattled newspaper El Siglo de Torreón in Coahuila, remembered Mike with great admiration. "Mike's presence was essential during a crisis. In the rush to take protective measures, Mike's phone calls, several times a day, were not only a reminder that we were not alone, but a guide amid confusion," he wrote. "His death leaves a great void in the struggle of Mexican journalists for security and protection. And it leaves me with an unpaid debt for his generosity, support and friendship."
Mike often wrote about how reporters and their families were affected by the violence that has made Mexico one of the world's most dangerous countries for the press. His first special report for CPJ, which described the dire situation for journalists in the border city of Ciudad Juárez, is an excellent example of his outstanding skills as a reporter. But perhaps the most impactful one was "Silence or Death in Mexico's Press," which CPJ presented to former President Felipe Calderón in September 2010.
Mike's work had a tremendous impact on one of CPJ's biggest successes in recent years. On May 3, in what CPJ called "a step forward in the fight against impunity," Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto signed legislation to implement a constitutional amendment giving federal authorities broader jurisdiction to prosecute crimes against freedom of expression. Mike's contribution to that milestone was huge. He campaigned tirelessly for more involvement from the federal government in prosecuting press crimes, and persuaded journalists, advocates, legislators, and officials that the passage of the amendment would provide the country with a better framework to protect freedom of expression. He finally prevailed.
A particularly frank colleague, Mike would never hesitate to tell Mexican officials how he felt about the risks that his Mexican colleagues faced. Former CPJ awardee Javier Valdez Cárdenas, one of the founders of the Culiacán-based magazine Ríodoce, remembered a comment Mike made in 2012 during a press conference in Culiacán. "Who is in charge in Sinaloa? Is it the governor or them ...?" Mike had asked at the time. The statement was interpreted, Valdez said, as a description of the influence that Mexican drug cartels exert over state officials, a topic that Mike had covered extensively. Valdez said his Sinoloa colleagues never forgot the comment.
"We will always remember his dignity, his laughter and his witticism," Valdez said. "'Maicol,' as we called him in Ríodoce, was a true friend."
Mike had a long and brilliant career as a foreign correspondent. He covered the Palestinian-Israeli conflict for NPR, and the former Yugoslavia and Central America for NPR and The New York Times. He earned an Overseas Press Club award for his reporting from Haiti. He covered Latin America for CBS News and was a television reporter in the San Francisco Bay area and Los Angeles.
I had the honor and privilege of working with Mike for five years. His words and his actions on behalf of press freedom will continue to be an inspiration to all of us. We will miss his commitment to press freedom, his sarcasm and sense of humor, and his friendship.
Our deepest condolences go out to Mike's wife, Tracy Wilkinson, to his family, and to his many friends. If you knew Mike, we invite you to share your memories of him in a comment below.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass.— The Harvard men's hockey team, riding a four-game unbeaten streak, seeks its third Ivy League win in five days as it welcomes travel partner Dartmouth to Bright Hockey Center Tuesday at 7 p.m.
Game Notes (PDF): Hi-res | Lo-res
Standings: ECAC Hockey | Ivy League
Scoreboards: ECAC Hockey | National
$10 Tuesday
Tickets to the game are $10 when purchased online. Click here to buy.
Game On
• Dartmouth and Harvard are wrapping up their season series. The teams skated to a 3-3 tie Nov. 25 at Thompson Arena in Hanover, N.H.
• With home wins against Yale, 4-3, and Brown, 3-1, over the weekend, Harvard moved into sole possession of fourth place in the ECAC Hockey standings and second in Ivy League. The Crimson can climb to within two points of Ivy frontrunner Cornell with a win against the Big Green. Harvard has Ancient Eight games remaining at Brown and Yale Feb. 17-18.
• The Crimson leads the NCAA in power-play efficiency at 31.8 percent (27 for 85). Harvard has scored at least one power-play goal in 18 of its 20 games, netted multiple power-play goals in eight games and converted its first power play in eight of the last 11 contests.
• Alex Killorn (Montreal, Que.) leads Harvard with 26 points and 14 goals. He ranks 12th nationally with 1.30 points per game and eighth with 0.70 goals per game. Both averages rank first among players in this year's Beanpot. He scored the tie-breaking goal in the third period of each game last weekend. Linemate Marshall Everson (Edina, Minn.) has three goals and five assists in the last five games.
• Harvard boasts two of the nation's highest-scoring defensemen. Danny Biega (Montreal, Que.) ranks second nationally in defenseman scoring at 1.15 points per game (5-18-23) and 14th among all players with 0.90 assists per game. Patrick McNally (Glen Head, N.Y.) ranks 10th among defensemen, second among freshmen on the blue line, with 0.85 points per game (4‑13‑17).
Last Weekend
Harvard posted back-to-back wins against its two oldest rivals in front of sellout crowds at Bright Hockey Center. Alex Killorn scored his second goal of the game with 1:19 left on the clock, guiding the Crimson to a 4-3 win against rival Yale Friday night with a national television audience watching on NBC Sports Network. Marshall Everson set up the winning goal after scoring to give Harvard a lead earlier in the third period. Luke Greiner (Faribault, Minn.) also scored. Steve Michalek (Glastonbury, Conn.) made a career-high 36 saves, including 16 in the third period, while Danny Biega and Colin Blackwell (North Andover, Mass.) logged two assists each. Click here for Harvard-Yale highlights.
Eric Kroshus (Calgary, Alta.) scored the tying goal and assisted Killorn on the game‑winner later in the third period as Harvard came from behind to defeat Brown, 3-1, Saturday. Steve Michalek made 24 saves to help his team claim sole possession of fourth place in the ECAC Hockey standings. Danny Biega sealed the win with a final-minute, empty-net tally from deep in his own zone after Harvard entered the third period trailing by a goal. The Crimson killed all five Brown power plays. Click here for Harvard-Brown highlights.
Clutch Killorn
Alex Killorn's weekend game-winners were his second and third of the season. He also netted the game-tying goal in the Crimson's 2-2 draw at No. 9 Cornell Jan. 21, so he has scored to earn Harvard a point in each of the last three third periods. Killorn has totaled six game-winning goals in his career. Three have come in the third period, including the lone goal with 8.2 seconds left last season against Rensselaer.
The Drawing Board
Harvard has tied eight games, breaking the previous program record of six set in 1991-92 and matched in 2008-09. Minnesota State set an NCAA record with 10 ties in 2002‑03. Colorado College matched that mark in 2008‑09, as did Western Michigan last season. The Crimson has six ties in ECAC Hockey play, one shy of the record held by the 1991-92 Yale (11‑4-7), 2003‑04 Dartmouth (10-5-7) and 2010-11 Quinnipiac (6-9-7) squads.
Point Men
The Crimson has taken at least one point from 11 of its 15 ECAC Hockey games. With a 2-1-5 record in league road games, Harvard has taken points from seven of eight away contests.
Crowded House
Five points separate third through 10th places in the ECAC Hockey standings.
Survey Says
Harvard has received votes in 12 of the 16 weeks of the USCHO.com national poll, including eight points last week. A new poll will be released Monday afternoon.
The Crimson is a team under consideration for the NCAA tournament and is tied with Bemidji State and Michigan Tech for 28th in the PairWise Ranking.
Poll Positions
Harvard had played seven ranked opponents in its last eight games before last weekend. The Crimson was 0-3‑4 against those seven ranked opponents and is 1-3-5 against ranked foes this season. Dating back to last season, Harvard is 3-5‑6 against its last 14 ranked opponents.
Comeback Crimson
Harvard has entered the final period trailing in 13 games but has rallied to win or tie in eight of those, including Saturday's defeat of Brown.
Harvard has trailed 27 times during play this season and has come back to tie 22 times. The Crimson trailed twice each in its win against No. 18 Colgate and its ties against No. 19 Quinnipiac, Dartmouth, No. 18 North Dakota, No. 14 Union and No. 9 Cornell. Harvard scored seven goals over the final two periods to rally from a four‑goal deficit and defeat New Hampshire, 7-6, and erased four separate one‑goal deficits in a 4-4 tie at Massachusetts. Harvard is 2-5-6 when trailing after two and 4-5-8 when trailing at any point.
Magic Numbers
The Crimson is unbeaten when scoring four goals or more (4-0-2) and has lost just once when allowing three goals or fewer (5-1-6).
Time and a Half?
Nine of Harvard's 20 games have gone to overtime, including eight of the last 13. The Crimson has played 42 minutes, eight seconds of overtime.
Power Surge
Dating back to 2010-11, Harvard has netted 31 power-play goals in its last 21 ECAC games. The Crimson has had three man-advantage goals in three of those games and two in nine others. The Jan. 13 shutout loss to Union ended a Harvard streak of 18 games with a power-play goal.
Special Forces
The Crimson is on pace to post the 17th-highest power-play percentage in NCAA history. The last team convert at least 35 percent of its power plays over a full season was the 1986-87 Harvard squad at 35.9. The last school to break 30 percent was Colorado College in 2002-03 at 30.8. The NCAA record for power-play efficiency is 40.2 percent, recorded by Boston University in 1970-71.
The Killers
Harvard has killed 19 of its opponents' last 21 power plays, including all six last weekend.
Outside the Box
The Crimson has allowed its opponents only 74 power plays this season, the nation's lowest total and an average of just 3.7 per game. That is 10 fewer than Cornell and New Hampshire, which are tied for the nation's second-fewest power plays against. Only 10 other teams have allowed their opponents fewer than 100 power plays.
Close Calls
Only two of Harvard's games have been decided by more than two goals. Fifteen of the 20 games, including 14 of the last 16, have been tied in the third period. At a point in every third period but one, the score has been tied or the teams have been separated by one goal.
All Even
In addition to Harvard's .500 overall record, the Crimson owns even marks at home (4-4-1) and on the road (2-2-7), as well in each month of the season so far (3-3-2 in November, 1-1-2 in December and 2-2-4 in January).
Harvard has held five of its last seven opponents to two goals or fewer and seven of its last eight to three goals or fewer.
The Crimson has outscored its opponents, 24-14, in third periods this season. Harvard has owned a 6-1 advantage in last three third periods.
Nov. 25 at Thompson Arena
Three different Crimson players scored goals and Danny Biega registered a pair of assists as the Crimson tied Dartmouth, 3-3, in Hanover, N.H. Mike Seward scored his first goal for Harvard at even strength in the first period, and Alex Fallstrom and Luke Greiner added power‑play tallies to erase a pair of one‑goal deficits in the second. Steve Michalek made 24 saves, while Max Everson blocked five shots. Tyler Sikura, Eric Robinson and Doug Jones scored for the Big Green. James Mello made 24 saves to combat a 37-26 shots edge for Harvard.
Series History
Harvard owned a 6-1-1 record in the previous eight meetings with Dartmouth before the Big Green swept the 2010-11 regular-season series. The Crimson owns a 126-60-10 all-time series edge. The teams first met Feb. 7, 1907, a 12-3 Crimson win at Harvard Stadium.
The teams faced off for a thrilling ECAC Hockey quarterfinal series last season. Visiting Harvard won the first game, as Alex Killorn, Alex Fallstrom and Michael Del Mauro '11 scored and the Crimson hung on, 3-2. In Game 2, Michael Biega '11 scored in the third period to tie the game, but Dartmouth's Andrew Owsiak bounced a puck off a defender 97 seconds into overtime for a 2-1 win. Fallstrom scored twice in the third game, but James Mello's 35 saves keyed a 4-3 Big Green win to advance to the league semifinals in Atlantic City.
Scouting the Big Green
Dartmouth has scored 15 goals over the course of its last three games, including four unanswered in a 5-4, come-from-behind win in overtime at Colgate Jan. 21. Following a 6-2 win against Brown, the Big Green saw the tables turned by Yale Saturday. The Bulldogs came back from three goals down for a 5-4 win, dropping Dartmouth's record to the .500 mark.
Doug Jones paces Dartmouth with 17 points, while Eric Robinson and Tyler Sikura share the team lead with nine goals each. Matt Lindblad has a team-high 12 assists. Three different goaltenders have started games for the Big Green. James Mello has been in net for 12 games, posting a 3.23 goals-against average and .890 save percentage.

A blueprint for high-volume, high-quality lung cancer screening that is detecting cancer earlier—and helping to save lives
When Kaiser Permanente Northern California rolled out a new electronic health record (EHR) system for outpatients a few years back, a team of researchers considered it a golden opportunity to evaluate how such systems affect care and outcomes.
The staggered implementation of the EHR system at 17 KP-owned medical centers from 2004 to 2009 allowed researchers to "examine the association between use of a commercially available certified EHR and clinical care processes and disease control in patients with diabetes," says the study "Outpatient Electronic Health Records and the Clinical Care and Outcomes of Patients With Diabetes Mellitus" in the Oct. 12 issue of Annals of Internal Medicine.
Mary Reed, DrPH, the lead author, tells Managed Care that "patients' diabetes and cholesterol control were actually significantly better when their physicians used an EHR compared to when they didn't. We found that the patients who needed the most care, meaning their lab values were furthest out of control, were most helped by using the EHR."
The study included nearly 170,000 patients and found that use of EHRs led to better control of diabetes and dyslipidemia.
The report says that when an EHR was used, patients with the greatest needs got increased testing, treatment, and physiologic improvement, and people already meeting glycemic and lipid targets had "decreased testing and treatment intensification."
There's a lot at stake, the study points out. Federal incentives for "meaningful use" of certified EHRs total about $29 billion, as much as $44,000 per doctor, and financial penalties for lack of certified EHR begin in 2015.
"The outpatient EHR completely replaced the paper-based medical record and a limited patchwork of pre-existing nonintegrated health IT tools" at the 17 medical centers," says the study. "Use of those early health IT tools was limited because paper-based alternatives were still in use."
It's good to know that the investment will be worth it because "even with federal incentive payments … implementing a complete EHR system requires a large up-front investment in money and time, with careful coordination...."

My latest Guardian column, "Automated calls, fraud and the banks: a mismatch made in hell," reacts to the news that UK banks are using robo-call machines to check in with customers on possibly fraudulent transactions, and going about it in the worst way possible:
The banks, bless them, are only trying to prevent fraud, but this is a pretty silly way of going about it. For starters, there's the business of calling up people and asking them to give you all the information necessary to prove that they are indeed a bank customer – all the information that a fraudster needs to impersonate that person at the bank, in other words. The banks have spent decades systematically conditioning us to give our personal information to fraudsters, which is a strange way to prevent fraud.
But at least this silliness had one saving grace: a fraudster can only make so many calls per day, and so the scope of losses from such a programme of bad security education is limited by the human frailties of con-artists.
Enter the robo-caller. The banks are now outsourcing their fraud prevention to computers that can make dozens of calls all at once, around the clock, fishing (or phishing) for someone who just happened to have made an unusual purchase and is thus willing to spill all his details down the phone to get it approved. Note that most of the categories of purchase that trigger false positives from fraud detection systems are also the sort of thing that customers are anxious to see go off without a hitch. The unusual and the urgent often travel together.

Hurricane Sandy is the biggest storm to hit the Northeast since the 1938 New England Hurricane ripped through the region, killing hundreds and causing millions in property damage.
Not that Findlay S. Douglas—former head of the USGA—or Richard S. Francis gave half a fuck. The pair were the only two to refuse a delay at the Senior Tour Championship the day the storm struck, and while they both shot a 90+, for a brief shining moment they held the lead over 143 cowards.
1938, when catastrophic hurricanes were "downpours," and Senior Tour golfers had some hair on their chests. Two of them, anyways.

Although I was a mere 5 years old when Ferris Bueller's Day Off was released, I remember always catching it on reruns in the late 80's and early 90's on HBO. It's one of those movies that doesn't get old. When I spotted this tee from Busted Tees, it took me a while to figure out what image was of. Then it came to me, water tower!Â
You can pick up Save Ferris from Busted Tees for just $8. That's cheap for an American Apparel shirt no matter how you swing it. You should wear it the next time you skip out of work (or school).Â
And if you'd like to go even cheaper than $8, you could always go the 6DollarShirts route and pick up their Save Ferris rendition.

Searching For Chiropractic Clinics Near You?
If you frequently deal with back pains, neck pains, spine, and sports injuries, you might be searching for the best chiropractic clinics near Blaine Minnesota. Chiropractic care is considered a holistic and alternative treatment option that triggers the body's natural healing abilities. It is a non-invasive treatment option where millions of Americans are benefiting at the moment. The approach is shown to treat more than a dozen of different conditions. One of the best things about chiropractic care is that the method is 100% drug-free and helps heal your body naturally. The treatment option is effective in dealing with headaches, back pains, ear infections, neck pains, joint pains, arthritis, bowel irregularities, blood pressure, asthma, improved mental clarity, and a host of other conditions. With hundreds of chiropractic clinics near Blaine, one should be cautious when selecting the best practitioner in the area. Here are important tips to consider when choosing the best chiropractic clinics nearby your location.
Despite the popularity of the treatment method, there are many misconceptions about the field of chiropractic care. Many patients are still confused when it comes to how the practice works and how chiropractic professionals are trained. In fact, most of the chiropractic programs incorporate an entire year of Ph.D.-level training in different subjects. Hence, a chiropractic doctor is a highly skilled and trained individual out there. Like with all other professions out there, there are many quacks operating in this industry too. That is why it is important that you perform extensive research before deciding to work with the right chiropractic doctor in your Blaine area. Your homework is essential to choosing the best candidate for the job.
Causes of Lower Right Back Pain
People experiencing lower right back pain may be wondering how in the world this isolated pain occurred. While lower back pain is very common, pain isolated to just the lower right side of the back only affects a handful of people. Here are some common reasons you may be experiencing lower right back pain.
Note: This article will discuss possible causes of the pain, not the diagnosis. It is important to discuss all of your medical conditions and concerns with a licensed healthcare professional.
While your isolated back pain could be caused from a variety of activities, there are three common causes that should be discussed.
1. Overuse or Misuse of Body
2. Sleeping Habits
3. Lack of Exercise and Stretching
1. Overuse or Misuse of Body
Most people are right-handed and thus primarily use the right side of their body for most common activity. This consistent use can lead to overuse in the muscles and joints on your right side. Where do you carry your purse or carryon bags? If you are right-handed, you probably carry them over your right shoulder. Where do men carry their overstuffed wallets? Probably in their right back pocket. When they sit down this adds a lot of stress to their lower right back and unnecessary weight on their left side.
Muscles and joints that aren't moved and exercised daily become weak and inflexible. This means that when you do use them for a simple task, like washing the dog, it could cause you major discomfort in your lower right back.
The exercise and stretching you do, should not be too intense or difficult. They should not hurt or cause you discomfort, and you should never feel dizzy or nauseas. Taking a walk around your neighborhood, climbing stairs, touching your toes, and practicing yoga are all great ways to stay active and prevent this back pain.
For more detailed information on lower right back pain causes, prevention and treatment, please visit http://www.lowerrightbackpainhq.net.
Most of the wellness and health benefits associated with chiropractic care are due to the chiropractic adjustments received by the patients. These adjustments are important to place your body in the proper position so that it can heal itself. In fact, chiropractic adjustments help reduce the stress placed on the patient's immune system. This will release energy that is vital for maintaining homeostasis and preventing diseases. The treatment option addresses the whole body of the individual thereby improving his or her ability to think and act more positively.
A professional Blaine Minnesota chiropractor prides him/herself on taking a drug-free, natural approach to helping the patient improve his/her wellness and health in the long run. In fact, the entire principle is built on the basis that the body has an innate ability to heal itself under the right conditions. The chiropractic doctor will help create the right environment for the body to start healing itself. The practice focuses on keeping one's spine properly aligned at all times. The nervous system controls every organ and cell in the body. Hence, if the spine shifts out of its proper place, it should be brought back into alignment without delay to prevent issues in the nervous system which can manifest as various diseases in the body. That is where a professional and experienced chiropractic doctor comes in handy.
Middle Back Pain On Right Side - What To Do?
Backache is a common problem, and middle back pain right side is one of many different types of back problems that can be experienced. The location of the pain is an important factor in helping to determine just what might be causing the problem, and if you are experiencing discomfort towards the right side of your back there could be a number of things that are causing the problem.
Of course, if you cannot get rid of the pain that you are experiencing you should always seek medical assistance, as out of the various problems that could be causing this pain some are more serious than others. Some of the possible causes of middle back pain right side could be very simple - such as accumulated gas - and may simply resolve themselves. However, other problems, such as slipped disc, are more serious and will need medical attention and treatment in order to both alleviate the pain and resolve the problem.
Inflamed gallbladder or gallstones: This can be a common cause of this type of back problem. Although the pain may stem from the middle back and right side it can spread upwards towards the upper back and even the shoulder. If left untreated gallstones can cause serious problems so it is important to get this checked out as soon as possible.
Trapped wind: Trapped wind that has accumulated could be another cause of the discomfort, and although not one of the main causes it can trap nerves in the back thus causing the discomfort and pain.
Simple ways that could help resolve the discomfort
The American Chiropractic Association states that there are more than 70,000 chiropractic professionals operating in the United States alone. With so many to choose from, finding "any" chiropractic doctor is fairly easy. But you don't need "any" chiropractic when it comes to treating your condition. In fact, you want the "best" chiropractor in Blaine to treat your specific condition. This is a bit trickier than finding just any chiropractic doctor in the area. There are many things to consider when choosing the right professional to treat your condition.
When provided by a highly skilled and experienced professional, chiropractic care is quite effective in healing a wide variety of conditions. The right professional should have a combination of knowledge, skills, attitudes, and experience. A personal referral from someone you trust is a great starting point when searching for any type of professional near Blaine Minnesota. Ask your existing health care team, friends, family members or co-workers for recommendations in this regard. You may also hop online and read patient reviews and surveys on professional chiropractors operating in your area. Make sure you do the homework properly before scheduling your first appointment with the potential candidate.
Don't forget to check the credentials and experience of the potential candidate. Chiropractors are also known as doctors of chiropractic (DCs). They are highly trained professionals who have completed nationally accredited graduate-level programs. In addition to their 4-year undergraduate degree, a chiropractor should have a 4-year doctorate degree – similar to doctors of osteopathy (DOs) and medical doctors (MDs). Make sure the candidate you choose is licensed and a graduate of an accredited school of chiropractic. Evaluate his/her experience before you work with them. These are some of the most important things to look for when choosing the best chiropractic clinic in Blaine Minnesota.

It's been a long while since I did any anime concept lessons so because I felt like a nut, I went ahead and made a tutorial on "how to draw a happy anime face", step by step. Not only am I feeling a little perky, I also wanted to fill a few requests that wanted this type of tut. The face is a typical looking anime gal as she is cheesing happily for you all. The excitement in her face really conveys how happy she is. You can choose to draw a boy's face, and that can be achieved by leaving out the girly hair and by making the eyes slightly different. Anyways, enjoy people and remember to leave some feedback to let me know what you all think. Peace out amigos.

Pond aerators are very useful in maintaining a pond. Whether the pond is for landscaping or farming purposes, it will certainly need an excellent aerator to supply more oxygen in the water. One of its notable benefits includes reducing the growth of algae and scum in order to create an ideal living environment for the fishes and other living things. For that, here are the fundamental factors that have to be considered when choosing aerators:
Types of Aerators
There are actually two types of aerators: diffused and surface aerators. Diffused aerators or bottom aerators, infuse oxygen at the bottom part of the pond. On the other hand, surface aerators infuse oxygen by splashing the water. If the pond's depth is more than 6 feet, a bottom aerator is a better choice than a Kasco Fountain.
Number of Aerators
The number of aerators for a pond will basically depend upon the size and shape. The bigger the pond is apparently the more aerators are required. The size of the pond must also be considered. If the pond is oddly shaped, it is harder for only one aerator to supply oxygen in the entire parts of the pond. Hence, more aerators are needed.
Generally, an aerator's cost will depend upon its type. Bottom aerators are actually more expensive than surface aerators. But there are also surface aerators that shoot water into the air and create a fountain effect. Those surface aerators are referred to as display aerators which are usually the most expensive. You can find very reasonably priced pond & lake aeration systems at Living Water Aeration.
Energy Requirement
Typically, standard aerators have 110-volt systems. However, more powerful aerators have 220-volt systems.
Additional Features
Aside from the aerators that shoot up water into the air, there are also such things as heating aerators. From the name itself, they can provide heat to maintain the ideal temperature of the pond.
Those are all the factors that have to be considered when choosing pond aerators. This task is fairly easy. Just follow all the considerations stated above and acquiring an excellent aerator is most likely possible.

expeditions into Burma, the first in February 1943 Operation

Thursday, in March 1944 was on a much larger scale. It
was the second largest airborne invasion
of the war and consisted of a force of 20,000 British and
Commonwealth soldiers with
air support provided by the 1st Air Commando USAAF. Tragically
their leader, General Wingate, was killed a few weeks after the

The text inside reads
During the 1939/45 War a Special
force was trained in Commando methods to infiltrate behind the
Japanese lines in Burma. They were known as the CHINDITS, a name
given to them by their leader, Major-General Orde C. Wingate, D.S.O.
After the initial expedition in 1943 the full force was marched or
landed in the jungle on makeshift air-strips by glider or Dakota
aircraft 200 miles behind enemy lines in March 1944.
The mission was successful and called Operation Thursday, this
eventually started the rot, which led to the Japanese surrender.
The force suffered many casualties killed, wounded or taken

In conjunction with the folks at Miller Electric, Rod & Custom is proud to launch its brand-new column, Metal Shop, dedicated to the DIY builders. All too often, our fabrication-related how-to articles don't provide as much information as some of our readers would like to know regarding the tools and equipment used in the process. That's all a thing of the past, at least for the next 12 months, as Metal Shop will focus on the equipmenthow it's used, what the pros and cons are, and what particular product is best for you.
Fabricating and building hot rods and customs from scratch, using your own two hands, is undoubtedly something many readers love to do. And whether you like to admit it or not, a little advice now and then never hurts. With Miller (a company known worldwide for its unbeatable line of welders, plasma cutters, and accessories) now onboard with us on a monthly basis, you'll be able get an insider's view of their latest products that are most beneficial for working in garage or home shop environments.
For those of you thinking Metal Shop will be nothing more than regurgitated press releases or excerpts from a Miller catalog, think again. While indeed there will be plenty of input on Miller's behalf, via photos and information, all the equipment we feature will be used by us, not professionals who probably helped design the product(s) in the first place. And with that hands-on testing you'll receive feedback and evaluations based on our experience and opinion, not theirs.
