Securing a right to land for women, we expect to find that it will protect her economic security and also her livelihoods, as well as her rights in divorce and inheritance. We don't often think it will also protect her right to say 'no'. Yet, some studies highlight that securing a land right for a woman, goes far beyond the direct obvious benefits of secure tenure. These additional benefits include assuring control over her sex life.
A report by OSI, called Securing Women's Land and Property Rights' refers to research which makes distinct connections between securing control of economic assets, in particular land, as a important for women to also have control over their sex lives.
To give some examples:
- One study from Western Kenya shows that the integration of women's property and inheritance rights with HIV prevention and treatment reduces HIV risk.
- Research in Kerala, India shows that 49 % of women with no property reported physical violence compared to only 7 % of women who did own property. This is an enormous difference.
These would both suggest that feeling secure about property and livelihood, make women also feel secure in her home and regards her emotional relationships.
A quote from Rasghida Manjoo, Special Rapporteur on Violence Against Women, also brings this home:
"Inequality and sex-based discrimination with regard to land ownership and its effective control, is the single most critical contributor to violations of the economic, social and cultural rights of women among the agrarian economies of most developing countries."
As does one from Caroline Sweetman, in a paper for Oxfam:
"Efforts to fight HIV and AIDS around the world are ineffective in protecting young women in particular from infection because they fail to focus sufficiently on the need for women to have control of economic assets if they are ever to gain control over their sex lives."(Caroline Sweetman, 'How Title Deeds Make Sex Safer: Women's Property Rights in an Era of HIV,' From Poverty to Power: Background Paper, Oxfam, 2008.)
It is easy to forget or overlook the links between issues such as land and reproductive rights, yet so enlightening when links like these are made. When we work in the NGO sector, we are all too often encouraged to focus on only one topic, with little time to explore the connecting issues. Yet, when you think about it, it makes so much sense: providing a woman with secure ownership and decision making power over the place where she lives and earns her livelihood, allows her to make empowered choices in other parts of her life and most especially inside her own home.
It makes we wonder, how can we highlight these links more often into our work? Or are there ways to strengthen these benefits by being aware of them?

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – Zack Schilawski and Shalrie Joseph scored early goals and goalkeeper Matt Reis made five saves to help the New England Revolution secure a 2-1 win over D.C. United on Saturday afternoon at Gillette Stadium.
The victory was the Revolution's (1-0-1, 4 pts.) first of the season after claiming a draw last weekend in LA, while the loss was United's (1-1-0, 3 pts.) first setback following a convincing victory over the Columbus Crew. This is the fifth straight year the Revs have won their home opener.
The Revs scored early for the second straight game, taking a quick lead through Schilawski's first goal of the season in the eighth minute. Joseph added a second from the penalty spot in the 17th minute – his second of the season – while Charlie Davies notched a consolation goal for D.C. with a stoppage-time penalty kick.
Revolution head coach Steve Nicol opted to employ a 4-5-1 formation for the second straight week, but with three changes to the lineup which started last weekend's season opener against the LA Galaxy. Right back Kevin Alston and left back Didier Domi returned from injury to replace Darrius Barnes and Chris Tierney on the backline, respectively, while Sainey Nyassi took over for the injured Marko Perovic (L hamstring strain) on the left wing.
It took the Revs only eight minutes to open the scoring, as Schilawski's persistence paid off with an early goal. Joseph began the goal-scoring sequence with a searching pass for Schilawski, who brought the ball down 12 yards from goal. The second-year forward's initial shot was blocked, but he corralled his own rebound and buried his second effort inside the right post.
Joseph put his own name on the score sheet just nine minutes later, converting from the penalty spot after Pat Phelan was taken down by Dax McCarty inside the box. D.C. goalkeeper Pat Onstad stretched to get a hand on Joseph's effort, but it was perfectly placed inside the lower right corner to extend the Revolution's lead to 2-0.
The two goals proved to be the only quality scoring chances of the opening 45 minutes, but the remainder of the first half was not without incident. Right midfielder Zak Boggs was replaced by Kheli Dube in the 32nd minute after a midfield collision opened up a gash on his head, while United's Kurt Morsink picked up a 40th-minute yellow card for a shove on Joseph.
D.C. made a pair of halftime substitutions in an effort to shake things up, bringing on Manchester, N.H., native Davies and Brazilian midfielder Fred, with Josh Wolff and Rodrigo Brasesco making way.
The moves appeared to pay dividends as the visitors pressed after the break. Chris Pontius got on the end of McCarty's corner kick in the 58th minute, but Alston was well positioned on the right post to clear the danger with Davies looming. Pontius threatened again in the 66th minute, blasting a 20-yard shot over the crossbar after a deft layoff from Fred.
Reis made the save of the game in the 83rd minute, diving full stretch to his left to deny Pontius' first-time effort from Davies' pull back to the top of the box, but he could do nothing to prevent Davies from driving a penalty into the middle of the goal in the first minute of stoppage time. The penalty was awarded during a scramble in the box following a McCarty free kick.
Davies' goal didn't mark the end of the action, however, as D.C.'s Dejan Jakovic was shown a straight red card in stoppage time following a skirmish near Reis' goalmouth.
The Revs will play their second straight home game next weekend against the expansion Portland Timbers. Kickoff from Gillette Stadium is set for 7:30 p.m. on Saturday, April 2.

Brian d'Arcy James, Tonya Pinkins and More Set for THE BROADWAY MUSICALS OF 1937 Tonight
The Town Hall presents the first of four concerts of their acclaimed series BROADWAY BY THE YEAR tonight, February 11th. The season begins with 1937, a year that witnessed the opening of the Golden Gate Bridge, the sudden death of George Gershwin, the Hindenburg disaster and a world on the brink of war.
The 13th Season of Town Hall's signature series, Broadway by the Year, begins tonight, February 11th at 8 PM with an all-star cast led by two-time Tony Nominee Brian d'Arcy James (Shrek), Tony Award winner Tonya Pinkins (Caroline or Change), Drama Desk Nominee Kevin Earley (Death Takes a Holiday), Elizabeth Stanley (Million Dollar Quartet), and Nightlife Award Winner Carole J. Bufford. Among the classic Broadway shows that will be revisited from 1937 are Babes in Arms, Hooray For What?, and I'd Rather Be Right.
Broadway By The Year takes the audience on a musical journey through the best of the Great White Way, featuring show-stopping numbers as well as lesser- known gems and little known facts and humor about our favorite shows.
Since its inception thirteen years ago, Broadway by the Year, created, written, and hosted for Town Hall by author/critic Scott Siegel, has offered a total of 50 concerts that have celebrated the rich and varied history of The Great White Way. In a statement, Scott Siegel said, "Broadway by the Year has offered its stars the opportunity to sing the greatest songs in the history of American musical theater. We start this season with one of the finest casts in recent memory. Having such major stars as Brian d'Arcy James and Tonya Pinkins together with such bright stars as Elizabeth Stanley, Kevin Earley, and Carole J. Bufford will be a Broadway by the Year concert that will surely be remembered."

Allegheny College's Steven Ramsdell tossed a six-inning no-hitter and the Gators swept Hamilton College in a non-conference doubleheader at Lake Myrtle Park in Auburndale, Fla., on March 22.
Allegheny (6-4 overall) won 11-0 in a nightcap that was stopped due to rain after Hamilton batted in the top of the sixth. The Gators used a four-run seventh inning to win the first game, 7-3.
Ramsdell was dominant in Game 2 as he struck out six batters. Ben Kirchler, Matt Sardini and Matt Pezzone all finished with two hits. Pezzone had a double and a triple, scored two runs and drove in one. Adam Bronson had two runs batted in.
Allegheny scored a pair of runs in the second and third innings for a 4-0 lead through three. With one out, Pezzone doubled down the left field line and came around to score on Zach Sutton's ground-rule double. A single through the left side by Bronson plated Sutton for a 2-0 lead.
In the third inning, Zach Gray and James Kim walked to put runners on first and second. Gray stole third base and trotted home after the throw sailed into left field, and Kim scooted to second. Pezzone then tripled to the gap in right center and drove in Kim.
The Gators put the game away with a seven-run fifth inning. Kim led off with a double and scored on an error that put Pezzone at second base. Sutton was hit by a pitch and walks to Eric Weyant and Bronson scored Pezzone. Allegheny scored four more runs after back-to-back errors and plated the final run on Gray's single up the middle.
In Game 1, Allegheny broke a 3-3 tie with four runs in the top of the seventh. Eric Brandt threw a complete game, allowing three runs and striking out five. Joe Killian had two singles, including the go-ahead, two-run hit. Kim and Frank Triozzi finished with one hit and one RBI apiece.
Alex Pachella '15 allowed two earned runs on five hits and struck out seven in five strong innings, and left with a no-decision. Nick Taylor '15, Tyler Reinhold '15 and Tim Burke '16 all collected two hits. Taylor picked up two RBI and Burke had the other.
Allegheny came out swinging in the first inning as the Gators jumped out to a 2-0 lead. Kirchler led off with a bunt single, stole second and advanced to third on a ground out. Gray drew a walk and put runners on the corners, and Kim drove in Kirchler with the first run. Gray and Kim moved up on a wild pitch, and Gray scored on a passed ball third strike.
The Continentals got one run back in the second inning. After Steve LaRochelle '14 walked and Taylor hit a single, Reinhold moved the runners up to second and third with his sacrifice bunt. On the next play, Burke hit an infield single that plated LaRochelle to make it 2-1.
Hamilton scored two more runs in their half of the third and went up 3-2. With one out, Ben Goffin '15 singled and Joe Jensen '15 doubled for runners at second and third. Following a strikeout, Taylor roped a two-out, two-run single up the middle. Reinhold singled on a hit-and-run and stole second, and the Continentals were threatening again with runners at second and third. However, Brandt coaxed a ground out to third to end the inning.
Pezzone tied the score for Allegheny in the fifth when he led off with a triple and scored on Triozzi's ground out. The Gators put two runners aboard with two outs in the sixth, but reliever Mike Williams '16 got out of his own jam as Pezzone ended the inning with a fly out.
The Continentals loaded the bases in the sixth after a double by Becker and walks to Gabe Klein '13 and Jensen. But with two outs Brandt induced a groundout to second, and the inning ended in a 3-3 tie.
Williams went back out for the seventh inning, but three walks loaded the bases for the Gators with two outs. Tommy Moriarty '14 replaced Williams and had a full count on Killian, but Killian laced the next pitch back up the middle for a two-run single and a 5-3 lead. With Killian on second and Kim on third, Mike Kastelic reached on an error and both runners came around to score. Moriarty struck out the next batter and Hamilton was still within striking distance.
Brandt came out for the final inning and allowed singles to Reinhold and Burke with one out. But Sam Fuentes '13 flew out and Becker grounded out, and the Gators held on.
The Continentals play two non-conference games against Carroll University on Sunday, March 24.
Hamilton baseball swept by Allegheny

Alluring! If there is someone who can come close to doing The BFG justice, it is none other than Steven Spielberg himself. He nails it and creates this enchanting image of the giant that we had always marveled about as kids. Spielberg brings him to life with his astounding powerful direction well supported constantly by the flick's beautiful CGI.
Mark Rylance is absolutely outstanding as the Big Friendly Giant, wearing his benevolence on his sleeves for us to notice him. He has such a beautiful soul that you cannot imagine anyone else wearing the character so perfectly. He fits into the persona like a glove. You can't help feel sorry for him when he struggles with the words. Yet in his occasional balderlash, he manages to say things that generate effortless musings.
I hears your lonely heart, in all the secret whisperings of the world.
If you pay close attention to his demeanour and follow him up with a childish gaze, it would be hard not to fall in love with his goodwill. Spielberg's CGI manages to capture his every expression making every moment melting.
Screenplay is brimming up with Roald Dahl genius, and well moulded by Melissa Mathison for Cinema. Beautiful words from the book still lurk there, and they manage to rivet you with the kind of pace Steven Spielberg and all of us love.
It was the Witching Hour, when the Boogeyman comes out when people go missing. The girls say the Witching Hour arrives at midnight. I think it comes at three in the morning, when I'm the only one awake. Like always. Like now.
Ruby Barnhill was a great choice for Sophie too. Her cuteness level is endearing to watch. Her conversations with the BFG is what helps in putting things into perspective.
The score of BFG is equally enchanting; setting the right mien to let you experience the wonder. The artistry on dreams was stunning as well. The whole concept of catching a dream, creating it, blowing it, is so well thought of that you cannot clap enough for Dahl's creativity.
Watch the Giant storm past the trees swiftly and you will see how gorgeously his movements have been captured. The time when Sophie is picked up from her bed, as she beholds the dodgy pathway through her blankets, will tell you how Steven Spielberg never fails to give painstaking attention to his frames. He lets us in on Sophie's vision to show what she sees. There is poetry lurking in his direction which makes the whole cinematography affair even more winsome.
Apart from changing little facts from the Roald Dahl's creation, Spielberg brings back the lost charm of his ingenuity to the front page. He makes it happening via the tranquility in his frames something only his finesse could ace.
Whilst those who haven't come across the children's book before, they might find the story a bit fantastical, but to be really candid, you need to turn back time for this. Witness the movie through the eyes of a little girl who comes across Giants for the first time in her life and goes on a whimsical little adventure to the Giant Country.

A blogger who retaliated against a New York newspaper that came under fire for identifying people with gun licenses in its circulation area explained on Thursday why he published the names and home addresses of the paper's employees.
"Well, I just thought they were being hypocrites," said Christopher Fountain on CNN's "Early Start." "In the aftermath of Newtown, it was obviously one tragedy, but somehow they were conflating legal gun owners with some crazed tormented devil up in Newtown and putting the two together. And I was offended by that and I wondered how they would like it if their addresses were published."
Fountain's blog on Wednesday linked to a map that identified — with pictures — employees of the suburban New York newspaper, the Journal News, as well as their places of residence. That move came several days after the Journal News published interactive maps of Westchester and Rockland counties, which named people with gun licenses and included their addresses — igniting outrage from the right and from some readers.
"We knew publication of the database [as well as the accompanying article providing context] would be controversial, but we felt sharing information about gun permits in our area was important…

Archaeological Conservation Program
Highlighting Our Work with Archaeological Projects
The Archaeological Conservation Program [ACP] seeks to improve the partnership of conservation and field archaeology through an innovative combination of opportunities based in the Objects Laboratory at the Smithsonian Center for Materials Research and Education [SCMRE]. The program offers advanced internships in archaeological conservation, carries out conservation work in conjunction with archaeological projects, pursues in-depth technical study of archaeological materials at SCMRE, and provides other educational offerings focusing on conservation issues in both conservation and archaeology venues.
Several new collaborations marked the Archaeological Conservation Program's activities in 2003 (Fig.1). The primary addition to the roster of participant sites was the San Bartolo Archaeological Project (Petén region, Guatemala), with conservation teams involved during both the winter-spring field phase and the summer laboratory phase in Antigua. During the summer work period, conservation assistance was also provided to the La Casa de las Golondrinas Archaeological Project (Antigua Valley, Guatemala).
The ACP conservation team members this year included Batyah E. Shtrum (a graduate student from the University of Delaware/Winterthur art conservation program), who took part in San Bartolo's field phase [Fig.2]. Caitlin R. O'Grady and Kristina Martin (graduate students in conservation from New York University's Institute of Fine Arts and Erfurt's University of Applied Sciences [Germany] programs, respectively) spent the summer in Antigua working principally with the San Bartolo project, and also assisting the La Casa de las Golondrinas project [Fig.3].
San Bartolo Archaeological Project
San Bartolo had been an unknown site until March 2001, when William A. Saturno (University of New Hampshire and Harvard University's Peabody Museum), along with several guides, stumbled upon it in a remote part of the lowland jungles of the Petén region. What caught his attention were glimpses of elaborate mural paintings within one of the overgrown ruins - exceptional for both their quality and apparently early date (ca. 100 AD). Under Saturno's direction, the San Bartolo Archaeological Project returned in June 2001 to undertake a site reconnaissance, followed by test excavations in June 2002 and then a full-scale field season in 2003. These excavations are showing that the pyramid complex, with which the painted room is associated, and other prominent clusters of structures are at the core of what had been an impressive pre-Classic settlement, beginning perhaps as early as 1000 BC and terminating in the Early Classic period (by 500 AD).
Conservation was envisioned as a component of the archaeological project since its inception, with mural conservators Leslie H. Rainer and Angelyn Bass Rivera quickly incorporated into the team to carry out in situ wall painting stabilization. The artifacts conservation component, phased in once the wall paintings component had been established, was implemented during the 2003 season.
The primary goal of our site visit in March was to gather information about the kinds of artifacts that were being excavated, and the site conditions and excavation procedures that might influence their state of preservation. This information would help us prepare for the project's summer laboratory phase in Antigua, a Colonial-period city near Guatemala's capital, where all materials would be brought at the end of the excavation period. Our schedule was also coordinated with the wall paintings conservators' work at the site, to give us a chance to become familiar with these activities.
During the field visit, the artifacts conservators carried out in situ treatments, including the reconstruction of a damaged stone monument (Fig.1, Fig.4). It was a pot-bellied seated figure carved from a boulder, which appears to have been visited for ceremonial reasons, based on the impressive heap of smashed ceramic vessels found around it. These ceramics date to the Late Classic period, when the site no longer appears to have been occupied. Some of the sherds from this deposit can still be seen in the walls of the trench (Fig.4). The ACP conservation team also continued stabilizing some of the stuccoed walls at the site, including exterior portions of the Mural Room (Fig.5).
During the summer, conservators joined the project team members in Antigua for the laboratory phase (Fig.6). Painted stucco wall fragments collected in 2001, 2002 and 2003 from tunnels and excavation areas associated with the Mural Room were conserved and rehoused for protective storage (Fig.7). The conservators also began the long process of reconstructing the intentionally smashed ceramics from the ceremonial deposit, for more detailed information about stylistic types and number of vessels brought to the site. Ceramics reconstruction was of particular interest to the archaeologists, and a workshop was presented to all the team members covering topics such as selection of appropriate conservation materials and basic reassembly techniques.
La Casa de las Golondrinas Archaeological Project
A dramatic 30 meter wall of volcanic tuff provides the setting for the largest rock art site in the Guatemalan Highlands, near Antigua (Fig.8). More than 100 painted motifs distributed over the surface may date to the Postclassic period (ca. 1300 AD) but artifact deposits reflect visitation extending from the Pre-Classic (beginning ca. 1000 BC) to the Post-Conquest period. Archaeological investigations at the site, directed by Eugenia J. Robinson (Montgomery College, Rockville, Maryland, and the Centro de Investigaciones Regionales de Mesoamérica, Antigua), have focused on documentation of the paintings and test pits of ceremonial deposit locations near the rock face.
During the summer work period, ACP conservation staff had an opportunity to visit the rock art site and the local storeroom, where some of the finds from test excavations are temporarily stored. One of the most remarkable of these was a special offering of weaving implements placed in a large ceramic jar, dated to about 1300 AD. Archaeological objects made of organic materials rarely survive in climates that are neither extremely dry nor extremely wet. As a result, the palm nut spindle whorls and gourd bowls with textile remnants found in this deposit form a particularly unusual and rich assemblage for study. Their damaged and fragile condition, however, meant that they needed to be well protected in storage. Using stable synthetic materials, ACP interns produced some customized storage containers that would allow the objects to be easily viewed and at the same time safely housed (Fig.9).

Appeal brought on 1 March 2019 by Ryanair DAC, formerly Ryanair Ltd, Airport Marketing Services Ltd against the judgment of the General Court (Sixth Chamber, Extended Composition) delivered on 13 December 2018 in Case T-165/16: Ryanair and Airport Marketing Services v Commission
(Case C-205/19 P)
Language of the case: English
Appellants: Ryanair DAC, formerly Ryanair Ltd, Airport Marketing Services Ltd (represented by: E. Vahida, avocat, I.-G. Metaxas-Maranghidis, Δικηγόρος, G. Berrisch, Rechtsanwalt, B. Byrne, Solicitor)
Other parties to the proceedings: European Commission, Council of the European Union
Form of order sought
The appellants claim that the Court should:
set aside the judgment of the General Court of 13 December 2018 in CaseT-165/16; and
annul Article 1(4), and 2 to 4 of Commission Decision (EU) 2016/2871 of15 October 2014 on State aid SA.26500 — 2012/C (ex 2011/NN, ex CP 227/2008), or in the alternative, refer the case back to the General Court for reconsideration; and in any event
order the Commission to pay the appellants' costs of this appeal and of the procedure in Case T-165/16 before the General Court.
Pleas in law and main arguments
The appellants submit that the judgment under appeal should be set aside on the following grounds.
First, the General Court misapplied Article 41 of the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights and the rights of defence of the appellants in the proceedings before the Commission. The General Court: erred in drawing a distinction between the specific rights in Article 41(2) of the Charter and the general right to good administration provided in Article 41(1) of the Charter; erred in finding that the rights in Article 41(2) of the Charter do not apply in State aid investigations; erred in finding that there is a conflict between Article 41(1) and (2) of the Charter and Articles 107 and 108 TFEU; and erred in finding that the appellants could merely be considered as a source of information in the investigation.
Second, the General Court violated Article 107(1) TFEU by misinterpreting the notion of advantage. The General Court: erred in concluding that there is no hierarchy of methodologies for applying the market economy operator ("MEO") test between the comparative analysis and other methods; erred in finding that the Commission was entitled to depart from the comparative analysis and reject the comparative evidence submitted by the appellants; and erred in concluding that, when applying the incremental profitability test, it is not necessary for the Commission to satisfy itself that the expected incremental costs and expected incremental non-aeronautical revenues reflect how an MEO would have operated the airport.

Experts Helping Military Kids Deal With Loss of Parent
By Rudi Williams
American Forces Press Service
HOUSTON, July 27, 2006 - Experts with the Military Child Education Coalition are working to help military children deal with the death of a parent through a new initiative: "Living in the New Normal; Supporting Children through Trauma and Loss."
"In the schools, the children are able to enjoy a predictable environment. The educators are certainly able to assist children in very compassionate and caring ways," Patty Shinseki, a member of the coalition's Board of Directors, said.
The primary loss military children experience when a parent dies is often compounded by secondary losses, such as the need to relocate, the loss of the familiar military community and culture, and changes to their support network and friends, Shinseki wrote in a recent article. Shinseki chairs the committee working on the initiative. She said MCEC is grateful for the volunteers working on the project.
"The bottom line is that death is such a tough topic," committee member Marlene Lee said. "It makes people uncomfortable. It's difficult to talk about. It's something a lot of people avoid. ... How do you take this really tough, really uncomfortable topic that needs to be discussed and break that communications down in a way that helps educate people?"
Lee is an expert in "thanatology," the study of death, dying and grieving. Her book, "The Hero in My Pocket," is aimed at children affected by the loss of a member of the armed forces. "Whether we like it or not, we have to talk about issues related to death, dying and, as importantly, positive recovery," Lee said.
Karla Shinners, a counselor and expert in risk prevention for children, said the project will provide guidance to people around children who experience such a loss. "How do you explain it to the whole class if this child has experienced a loss?" Shinners said. "How long should the child be away from school? Should you send them right back to the classroom, or should they stay home for a little while? Should the child attend the memorial service?
"We have to look at the factors as to how to make that best decision to help a child," she said.
The initiative promotes "an environment of resilience and non-victimization of the military child," said Army Maj. Jeff Bergmann, who teaches psychology at the U.S. Military Academy, at West Point, N.Y. He is also a member of the program's committee.
"Since I'm in the military, I ... educate the officers, noncommissioned officers and the future leadership about resources available from MCEC and specifically this initiative, 'Living in the New Normal,' because it's going to become increasingly important based on the global war on terrorism," he said.
The death of a military members leads to transition and dramatic change in families' and children's lives, retired Army Dr. (Col.) Stephen J. Cozza said. Also a member of the committee, Corza is associate director for child and family programs at the Center for Traumatic Stress, a part of the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences, in Bethesda, Md.
"During that change, there are certain vulnerabilities that families and children may be exposed to," Cozza said. "They have to figure out how to tolerate and reestablish their families in new places or new situations with the loss of a loved one."
Cozza said MCEC wants to support such children and families so they come out on the other end healthy, happy and adapted. "Part of what we want to do is to help rally the resources around children," he said. "MCEC is naturally well-suited for that because the educational setting is the setting of kids. The teachers will be the ones that kids spend most of their days with."
Cozza said he'd like to develop a transition packet that parents, children and schools can complete that transfers information from one school to the next. "The worse-case situation would be that a child goes to a new school and no one is aware of the special challenges or changes that have that have occurred in that family," he said.
He said some educators don't recognize that a child's behaviors, difficulty in learning or emotional state may be related to adverse events in their life.
Shinseki said the program will lead to a system of resources for educators and parents. "Some of the themes we're following acknowledge the wonderful positive attributes of our children."

We had a massive program planning meeting on Monday, laying out the schedule through next December. This is what my schedule looks like, roughly:
- Monday - Afternoon, staff meetings and stuff. Evening, information desk.
- Tuesday - Morning, run registration for Miss Pattie's two sessions of toddler storytime (we're going to limit attendance at the door which is going to be a hard transition for people). Afternoon, children's desk and a few hours on the information desk.
- Wednesday - Preschool Interactive, early afternoon outreach, late afternoon children's desk and tween/teen herding.
- Thursday - Morning, outreach while Pattie does baby storytime. 12-2, information desk and after school programs Messy Art Club and Lego Club from 3-5:30
- Friday - Morning, We Explore (new program that combines storytime and other stuff). Afternoon, depends. Some days I will be at the children's desk, some days at the information desk, or if I'm working Saturday I'll go home. So far, this is what I have lined up for We Explore - fall storytime, monster storytime and costume swap, color storytime with painting, Kohls' Wild Theater, Welty Environmental Center, 3 Healthy Snacking multicultural programs from Miss Pattie, and I'm talking to an education person from the Ice Age Trail, fire chief about doing a fire safety program, appliance store for a big box program, and I still have a few slots to plan storytimes for!
- Our cataloger is going to do a teen book club once a month on Thursday nights. She did this at her previous library. I'm going to do the publicity for it and hope for the best.
- Miss Pattie will also be doing her twice monthly evening storytime and a monthly family game night.
- I already have one daycare signed up for three visits a month - one on Wednesday, two back to back on Thursday - for their 4k classes. I have a remote collection set up with another preschool. I'm hoping to have the biggest preschool bring 100 kids to a couple of our big We Explore programs. I will probably get some school visits/tours from the two elementary schools and possibly the Catholic school and I'm going to make a concerted effort to have them come on Thursdays.
- I have 2 special programs, a homeschool meet and greet on a Tuesday evening in September and a cookie decorating program on the last Saturday of the session in December.
- We're also going to do 1,000 Books Before Kindergarten starting in September.
Then I have system committees and meetings, my ALSC Committee, Cybils I hope!, and whatever additional outreach and projects happen.

DUBLIN, Ohio (AP) - Matt Kuchar crossed the Memorial Tournament off his wish list and then set his sights on a couple of other items - grabbing a major championship and winning again at Muirfield Village later this year.
Kuchar made a clutch 5-foot, par-saving putt on the 17th hole and then closed out a two-stroke win over Kevin Chappell by holing a 20-foot birdie putt on the final hole Sunday. It gave Kuchar one of the biggest wins of his career and assurance that he can start checking off other items on his to-do list.
'There are a couple of things I thought were missing from my pedigree, my golf history,' he said after a 4-under 68 left him at 12-under 276. 'A major championship is on the list, and a multiple-win season was on the list. That's something that at the beginning of the year when I set goals. And making the Presidents Cup team was on the list.'
Coming up on his 35th birthday later this month, Kuchar, who won earlier this year in the Match Play, has a clear shot at hitting those goals.
He'll be among the handful of top names bandied about at the U.S. Open the week after next at Merion.
'I'll have a lot of confidence,' Kuchar said. 'I'd love it if I could show up and play good enough golf to win a major. It's something that is up there, No. 1 on the list. I want to do it and feel like I'm ready to do it. But I can only control so much of that equation.'
Later this year, he's almost a lock to return to Muirfield Village as a part of the U.S. side in the Presidents Cup matches in October.
'To have kind of sealed the deal with winning this tournament feels really good, to make the team,' he said. 'Team championships are so much fun. The crowds here are spectacular. I can't wait to see what a Presidents Cup will be like.'
Kuchar is known as a steady, if unspectacular player, an optimist with few holes in his swing or his mental approach. Those strengths loomed large in a week during which gusting winds and three weather delays on Thursday seemed to completely frustrate others.
Tiger Woods, the defending champion and a five-time winner at the Memorial, opened with rounds of 71 and 74 but then watched things fall apart. He suffered through 8-over 44 - his worst nine-hole score as a pro - in the swirling gusts on Friday. His round of 79 - matching his second-worst score since turning pro - included two double-bogeys and a triple-bogey.
On Sunday, Woods was already 16 shots behind third-round leader Kuchar going into the round and then had a triple-bogey on his third hole.
He will head to the U.S. Open with several major questions as a result of his erratic iron play and errant putting.
Asked what he'll work on back home in Orlando, Fla., before heading to Merion, Woods didn't narrow it down much.
'Everything,' he said. 'You want everything clicking on all cylinders, especially at the U.S. Open. Because everything is tested in the U.S. Open.'
Rory McIlroy, the 2012 PGA Championship winner and the 2011 U.S. Open champion, like Woods was never a factor in the Memorial. But he felt as if he ironed out some problems after shooting a 72 that left him two shots ahead of Woods at 294.
'I hit the ball much better today. I actually putted a little better, too. It feels pretty good,' he said. 'I get to see Merion a couple of days next week, too, so that will be beneficial. It's not that far away.'
Chappell, who birdied the final two holes to put some pressure on Kuchar, said he never really felt like he could overcome a player who's so steady.
'I wasn't part of the conversation all day,' he said. 'I played a solid back nine to get close. I hit a good iron shot on 17 and then made the putt. I kind of figured Matt would make his putt. He's world class with that putter and I figured it was over with.'
Kuchar conceded that his margin of victory was a little misleading. He felt as if Chappell was right on his heels - particularly as he stood over that testy 5-foot par putt on the next-to-last hole. A miss and his lead would be down to a stroke.
'The putt on 17, I'd say that one I knew I had to make,' Kuchar said. 'That was the one point where I felt like if I don't, I could lose this.'
After he dropped in that putt, he followed by hitting his drive into the fairway on the difficult, uphill closing hole. From there his second shot ended up 21 feet from the hole. With a mammoth gallery surrounding the green and watching from the newly reconstructed clubhouse, he then curled in the birdie putt to double his margin.
Kyle Stanley shot a 71 and was at 281, alone in third and three shots back of Chappell. Tied for fourth were Scott Stallings, who matched James Driscoll for the low round of the day with a 67, and second-round leader Bill Haas (71). Russell Henley (69) and Matt Jones (72) were at 283. First-round leader Charl Schwartzel shot a 72 and led a group another shot back.
After Kuchar, who climbed to a career-best No. 4 in the world rankings, hit his clinching putt on the final hole, he was met by a happy greeting party: wife Sybi, sons Cameron and Carson. They smiled, kissed and hugged to celebrate his sixth career PGA Tour victory.
Also there was Memorial Tournament founder and host Jack Nicklaus, shaking Kuchar's hand after high-fiving Carson.
'We're delighted that he is our champion,' Nicklaus said. 'I know that this will probably not be his last win here or elsewhere.'
If that's true, Kuchar's wish list will be getting even shorter.

TAIPEI, Taiwan - French film director Luc Besson on Friday slammed paparazzi in Taiwan for interfering with the shooting of his latest film starring Scarlett Johansson, but denied reports that he considered leaving the island early to underscore his disgust over their actions.
Besson spent 11 days in Taipei filming "Lucy" with Johansson, who plays a drug mule whose contact with a "super-serum" endows her with superhuman abilities.
Meeting reporters in Taipei a day after he finished shooting the Taiwan part of the film, Besson blasted the paparazzi for dogging the production, saying it was his right as a director to keep details, such as Johansson's hair style and her wardrobe, out of the public eye until "Lucy" is released.
"We don't want pictures with new dresses of Scarlett," he said. "Sometime I lost a bit of my concentration because I'm bothered by that."
"Shooting at nighttime was a nightmare" because of constant paparazzi intrusions, he said.
Besson singled out two unnamed agencies from Hong Kong for special condemnation, but labeled as incorrect news reports that he wanted to leave Taiwan early to register his disapproval of their actions.
"I read in the newspaper that I was ready to leave," he said. "This is wrong."
Besson also said it was incorrect to say that drug smuggling was the focus of the film, saying it comprised only a very small part.
"The film is about pure intelligence," he said, declining to elaborate. "We're basically using 10 percent of our brain. What happens when we use more?"
Besson said work on the film would take another year, and that it was still too early to talk about a release date.

Small, round, brown and famously covered in spines, the Hedgehog is one of the most familiar of Britain's wild mammals. They are most commonly spotted in parks and gardens, where bushes and hedges provide the perfect day-time getaway, and insect-rich lawns and flowerbeds make excellent feeding grounds at dusk.
Hedgehogs eat all kinds of invertebrates, as well as amphibians, birds eggs and anything else they can catch; they particularly like big, crunchy beetles, earthworms and slugs, making them a gardener's best friend.
How to identify
A unique and unmistakeable animal. Look out for the signs of hedgehogs: medium-sized, black droppings consisting of bits of beetles and other insects, often found on the lawn.
Where to find it
Widespread, found throughout the country except for the Channel Islands and some Scottish Islands.
When to find it
- April
- May
- June
- July
- August
- September
- October
How can people help
The once common Hedgehog is now under threat from development and habitat loss. Combined, our gardens provide a space for wildlife larger than all our National Nature Reserves, so by gardening in a wildlife-friendly way, we can help our spiny companions to find a home and to move safely between habitats to find mates and food. Hedgehogs will also helpfully hoover up any unwanted slugs and snails, so no need to use poisonous slug pellets. If you have a Hedgehog in the garden, you can help it out by putting down a little cat food and leaving a pile of leaves or logs for it to hibernate under. But don't forget to check your bonfire before you light it!

Physics Facilities — Optics Lab
Our department features a state-of-the-art optics laboratory where students have the opportunity to perform experiments to observe and measure various optical phenomena. One such experiment involves using a helium neon laser to split the laser beam into multiple, small intensity beams. One of the pictures above shows the optical setup with the laser passing through a series of lenses and beam splitters.
Another type of experiment is spectroscopy on various light sources. Spectroscopy involves separating the various wavelengths of light by using a diffraction grating or crystal. One of the photos below shows the basic setup for a spectrometer with a crystal and a mercury vapor lamp (blue light) as the source.

Frasca Food and Wine in Boulder wins James Beard Award for Outstanding Wine Program
"I didn't think we were going to win," said Frasca Food and Wine partner and master sommelier Bobby Stuckey, just minutes after his restaurant won the Outstanding Wine Program award at the James Beard Awards ceremony in New York City. "I thought Blackberry Farm would win, or A16. I didn't have a speech."
But Bacchus was smiling on little Frasca, in little Boulder. This was the fourth time Frasca was a finalist for the award. Stuckey, who is one of fewer than 130 master sommeliers in the United States, said most of the credit should go to Matthew Mather, the restaurant's sommelier.
"This is a man who locks it every night," said Stuckey. "He is the best sommelier I have ever worked with."

Have Something to Say About Your iPhone? You Can Tell Tim Cook On Twitter
Apple CEO fires off his first 140-character update.
Sept. 20, 2013 -- Sure, iPhone lines won't let up and iOS 7 has been downloaded in droves, but Apple's CEO still has time for the people. Not only did Tim Cook take time out today to visit the iPhone shoppers at the store in Palo Alto, Calif., but Apple's chief also joined Twitter.
"Visited Retail Stores in Palo Alto today. Seeing so many happy customers reminds us of why we do what we do," @tim_cook tweeted at 3:02 p.m. ET today. Since firing off that tweet it has over 3,297 retweets and Cook himself has gained over 65,500 followers.
Apple confirmed to ABC News that this is in fact Cook's official Twitter account and not one of the many fake accounts, like @TimCookAppleCEO or @TimCookParody.
Cook, who became CEO of Apple in August 2011 when Steve Jobs stepped down, is a very private person. Very little is known about his personal life and he has only spoken to a handful of reporters since taking over the helm.
Cook isn't the only Apple executive on Twitter; Apple's senior vice president of Internet Software and Services Eddy Cue and its Senior Vice President Worldwide Marketing Phil Schiller are also on the social network. Those executives rarely tweet, but perhaps Cook will change the 140-character tide.

This isn't about a banker going to jail, this is about a homeowner going to jail.
I got an e-mail the other day from Richard Engle telling me that his son Charlie would be getting out of prison this month. I was happy to hear it.
Charlie's ordeal isn't over yet, of course. When he leaves prison on June 20, Charlie, 49, will move temporarily to a halfway house, after which he will be on probation for another five years. And unless he can get the verdict overturned, he will have to spend the rest of his life with a felony on his record.
Perhaps you remember Charlie Engle. I wrote about him not long after he entered a minimum-security facility in Beaver, W.Va., 16 months ago. He's the poor guy who went to jail for lying on a liar loan during the housing bubble.

New York, June 17, 2011--The Committee to Protect Journalists joins with our colleagues in Pakistan in mourning the death of of reporter Shafiullah Khan, who died Friday of injuries he had sustained in a June 11 suicide bombing in Peshawar, the administrative center for Pakistan's strife-torn Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) along the border with Afghanistan.
Pakistan media reports and the Khyber Union of Journalists said that Khan, 28, died on Friday morning in the intensive care unit of a local hospital.
"We stand with Pakistan's journalists and the Khan family as they strive to cope with this loss," said Bob Dietz, CPJ's Asia program coordinator. "This tragic death underscores the terrible price that Pakistani journalists are paying to bring us the news."
Khan had recently completed his master's degree in journalism from Gomal University, in the town of Der Ismail Khan in FATA, according to Yousaf Ali, general secretary of the Khyber Union of Journalists. He had been working as a trainee for one week in The News International's Peshawar bureau when he was wounded, the paper reported.
Local and international media reports said at least 34 people were killed and more than 90 injured in the June 11 double blast. An initial smaller blast at the Khyber Super Market drew a crowd, including journalists covering the story. The second, larger blast, apparently a suicide bomb, went off after the crowd had grown. Asfandyar Khan, who worked with different media organizations and had recently joint Akhbar-e-Khyber, died in the second explosion.
Pakistan had the highest number of killed journalists in the world in 2010. It also ranks 10th on CPJ's global Impunity Index, which calculates unsolved journalist murders as a percentage of each country's population. A CPJ delegation met with President Asif Ali Zardari on World Press Freedom Day (May 3), to address the lack of investigations into these murders.

Stretch for Greater Flexibility
Still not getting the results you want from your exercise routine? Blame tight muscles, says Ashley Borden, a celebrity trainer based in Los Angeles. "When one muscle group, like your quads, is stiff, that prevents others, like your glutes, from firing correctly," she explains. End result: compromised performance (and calorie-burning ability), not to mention an increased risk of injury.
Old-school static stretches, where you bend and hold for what seems like an eternity, aren't necessarily the most effective approach to increase your flexibility. Borden swears instead by her "Stretch and Fire" method, which she uses to teach clients like Mandy Moore. Based on a principle called Active-Isolated Technique, it involves contracting one muscle group while stretching the other. This triggers a muscular reflex that will increase your range of motion and deepen the stretch. Best of all, her workout — which targets most women's tightest muscles — takes just minutes a day.
Try these six stretches after your regular cardio or strength workout (aim to do them five times a week). You'll see improvement to your flexibility in as little as two weeks and gains in both your strength and endurance in less than one month.
1. Active Pigeon
Target: The Piriformis (a deep gluteal muscle)
- Begin in a full push-up position, palms aligned under shoulders.
- Place left knee on the floor near shoulder with left heel by right hip.
- Lower down to forearms and bring right leg down with the top of the foot on the floor (not shown).
- Keep chest lifted to the wall in front of you, gazing down.
- If you're more flexible, bring chest down to floor and extend arms in front of you.
- Pull navel in toward spine and tighten your pelvic-floor muscles; contract right side of glutes.
- Curl right toes under while pressing ball of foot into the floor, pushing through your heel.
- Bend knee to floor and release; do 5 reps total, then switch sides and repeat.
2. C-Curve
Target: Lower Back
- Sit on floor with knees bent, feet on floor about 12 inches in front of butt.
- Interlace fingers behind hamstrings, pointing elbows out to sides.
- Round back, tightening pelvic floor and pulling navel in toward spine; focus on your belly button with jaw pulled in. Inhale through your nose.
- As you exhale, draw navel in even tighter and lift left leg, pushing left heel toward wall in front of you while pulling back with pinkie toe; at the same time, push down on right foot (not shown).
- Return to start and repeat.
- Do 5 reps; switch sides and repeat.
3. Modified Cobra
Target: Abdominals
- Lie facedown on the floor with thumbs directly under shoulders, legs extended with the tops of your feet on the floor.
- Tighten your pelvic floor, and tuck hips downward as you squeeze your glutes.
- Press shoulders down and away from ears.
- Push through your thumbs and index fingers as you raise your chest toward the wall in front of you.
- Relax and repeat.
- Do 5 reps total.
4. Hamstring Stretch Series
Target: Hamstrings
- Place a small folded towel behind your head and lie faceup on the floor with legs extended and feet flexed.
- Bend right knee to chest and interlace fingers behind hamstrings as close to your groin as possible; gaze at your chest and keep your chin down, neck long (not shown).
- Tighten the muscles of your pelvic floor and extend leg, pushing through the heel and contracting quads.
- Return to start and repeat; do 5 reps.
- Repeat, turning thigh outward (heel points in), for 5 reps.
- Relax and repeat, turning thigh inward (heel points out, toes point in), for 5 reps.
- Switch legs; repeat series for a total of 15 reps on each leg.
5. Split Squat
Target: Quads, Calves
- Stand with feet hip-width apart.
- Step right foot about 12 inches in front.
- Curl toes of your left leg under; keep weight equal between both feet. Interlace fingers, placing hands under ribs; press shoulders down away from ears.
- Tighten the muscles of your pelvic floor; tuck your pelvis under and squeeze glutes.
- Slowly bend both knees, coming down in 3 counts; feel the stretch along the left quad.
- Press into floor to rise back to start in 3 counts.
- Do 5 reps; switch legs and repeat.
6. Quadrupeds
Target: Shoulders
- Kneel on all fours with wrists aligned under shoulders and knees under hips, toes curled into floor (not shown).
- Bring your forehead toward the floor and slide the pinkie edge of your left hand along the floor in front of you (keep your right palm flat on the floor).
- Press shoulders down away from your ears and squeeze your glutes.
- Return to starting position by pushing down on your right palm and sliding your left hand back toward your shoulders.
- Do 5 reps; switch sides and repeat.
The Best Time to Stretch
Question: "What's the best time to stretch — before or after a workout?"
Answer: "Some studies have shown that stretching right before exercise can actually hamper performance," says Mike Bracko, EdD, director of the Institute for Hockey Research in Calgary, Alberta, and a fellow of the American College of Sports Medicine.
One Theory: When you stretch, protein filaments in the muscles expand, then stay elongated for a short time, making the muscle weaker for about 10 to 15 minutes. Better? Warm up to increase blood flow, then stretch post-workout, when your muscles are more flexible.
The Forgotten Area You Must Work
You've probably heard that Kegel exercises will strengthen your pelvic floor after pregnancy and ramp up your sex life anytime. But these moves (developed by Arnold Kegel, MD, in the late 1940s) are also crucial to building a firm foundation for any movement, says trainer Ashley Borden.
"It's vital to strengthen both the muscles of your pelvic floor and your deep abdominals," she notes. "These muscles work together to create a solid base on which everything else can build."
Build Up Your Pelvic Floor and Deep Abdominals
- To engage the area, think about stopping the flow of urine midstream.
- Keep the muscles contracted while pulling your navel in toward your spine.
- Hold this position during each stretch.

Kitchen. Saturday , December 22nd , 2018 - 05:27:43 AM
Typically, in a kitchen, there is little decoration. The most decoration will come from the color chosen for the cabinetry, furniture and appliances. Some choose to paint everything a single color. Others choose to paint the walls and cabinets a single color while choosing appliances and cookware that is painted in a sharply contrasting color. If your kitchen space is small, you can create the illusion of space by choosing a single color for your walls and appliances. If your kitchen is larger, you can create textures and a decorative feel by choosing contrasting colors.
By standard definition, a modern kitchen is any kitchen that uses electricity or natural gas. So technically speaking, I guess every kitchen in the western world is known as a modern kitchen. However for the purposes of this article, we're going to expand the definition and focus on the conveniences of modern kitchen design and the benefits that you can potentially enjoy every day no matter your lifestyle.
Technology is typically the first association people make with the word 'modern.' And if you want your kitchen to be technologically advanced you will focus on computer chipped appliances and computers. Today appliances use computers to set temperatures, timers, food expiration dates, and even alerts for inventory restocking. A modern kitchen may very well include a large flat screen TV to display recipes, family calendars, household schedules, and it's certainly more fun to cook while watching videos, searching websites, or listening to music.
If the chairs in your kitchen can serve many purposes while still being chairs they are modern chairs. If the chairs can be used as works of art, they are modern/contemporary chairs.
Are your kitchen chairs modern kitchen chairs? Do you know to tell the difference? Aren't you pretty sure that all kitchen chairs are technically considered modern? Is there a difference between modern chairs in your kitchen and contemporary kitchen chairs? If there is, should you choose one over the other? How do you make all of these decisions? When did choosing kitchen chairs become so complicated?
Contemporary furniture - if you've decided you want a modern kitchen, don't just update the cabinets and countertops. There are a multitude of contemporary chairs, tables and other pieces of furniture - you have literally hundreds of options. Instead of buying traditional or plain kitchen chairs, go for contemporary stools to go with your island. Little touches like this can go a long way.

Over the past few decades, opera has reinvented itself, emphasizing the theatrical side of the art form where previously the music was perhaps the main focus. Increasingly, many directors have reinterpreted classic works in highly dramatic, sometimes explicit terms, leading some audience members to complain of shock tactics such as an emphasis on themes of sex and violence.
Such themes have in fact long featured in opera narratives as well as productions. Monteverdi's L'incoronazione di Poppea (1643), one of the earliest operatic masterpieces, tells the story of the tyrannical and passionate Roman emperor Nero and his corrupt mistress Poppea who seduces her way to power with deadly consequences for those who cross her.
But have directors overstepped the mark in portraying such narratives with an explicit focus on their sexual or violent content? Ahead of Royal Opera productions of Wozzeck and Les Vêpres siciliennes, and following recent stagings of Written on Skin, The Wasp Factory and Elektra, let us know what you think using the comment field below:
Do you think that modern opera productions rely too much on sex and violence, or are such themes an inherent part of the art form, key to the theatrical experience?
A selection of your comments from Twitter:
@TheRoyalOpera @RoyalOperaHouse most operas are about sex and violence. So what's the problem ?
— Minjas Zugik (@Curtain_Calls) October 10, 2013
@TheRoyalOpera "Modern" productions risk self-referentiality; "traditional" ones risk the boredom of habit. It's complexity vs simplicity.
— Marta Maria Casetti (@mmcasetti) October 10, 2013
@TheRoyalOpera Let's have modern (ie 'challenging') *and* traditional (as with Shakespeare). This is just 'sexed up' resistance to change.
— Adrian (@Adrian_Specs) October 10, 2013
@TelegraphOpera @Rupechri Much to agree with. Equal problem, however, are audiences who completely close their minds to anything updated.
— Michael Volpe (@MikeOHP) October 10, 2013
@TheRoyalOpera @RoyalOperaHouse Operas r highly dramatic: tragedy, love, loss n revenge. There r ways of representing such themes visually.

@TelegraphOpera opera company managements are getting so arrogant that they risk alienating even their most loyal supporters
— Rupert Christiansen (@Rupechri) October 10, 2013
@TheRoyalOpera @RoyalOperaHouse opera doesn't need saving, it's flourishing,no longer elitist,gets the best talent & the S&M is a bonus.
— John Keevill (@otoid) October 10, 2013
@Curtain_Calls @RoyalOperaHouse @TheRoyalOpera Thank goodness there's no violence or sex in that nice Herr Wagner's 'Ring'.

Petition of the day
The petition of the day is:
Issue(s): (1) Whether Section 6662 of the Internal Revenue Code, which prescribes a penalty for an underpayment of federal income tax that is "attributable to" an overstatement of basis in property, applies to an underpayment resulting from a determination that a transaction lacks economic substance because the sole purpose of the transaction was to generate a tax loss by artificially inflating the taxpayer's basis in property; and (2) whether the district court had jurisdiction in this case under 26 U.S.C. § 6226 to consider the substantial valuation misstatement penalty.

After going all the way to MLS Cup 2003, the Fire missed the postseason for the first time in club history the following year, losing 2-1 on the final day of the regular season at New England. The team regrouped and finished third in the East the following season, setting up another first round clash with D.C. United…
#2 D.C. United vs. #3 Chicago Fire – Eastern Conference semi-finals (total goals)
Chicago Fire 0, D.C. United 0 (Game 1)
Soldier Field, Chicago, Ill.
October 21, 2005
In what would be the club's final competitive match at Soldier Field, the Fire had the better of the play, outshooting D.C. 8-4 and holding United without a shot on goal.
In turn though, United played strategically, just trying to leave Chicago without a blemish and conceded only two shots on goal, both from Chris Rolfe in the 58th minute.
WATCH: Chicago Fire 4, D.C. United EC (Semi-final Leg 2)
United would get their wish, earning a 0-0 draw and leaving all to play for at RFK Stadium for the second leg nine days later.
Chicago Fire 4, D.C. United 0 (Game 2)
Soldier Field, Chicago, Ill.
October 30, 2005
United's plan for the series would backfire early on in Game #2 when Thiago's corner from left bounced through the six yard box to find Jack Stewart streaking in at the back post. The then-Fire rookie would tally one of only two goals in a Fire shirt, sneaking his header past Doug Warren in the 10th minute.
Just before the half, another Fire rookie would help make his mark. This time Chris Rolfe danced into the box on the left and chipped in a cross from the end line before Brandon Prideaux headed away. The ball fell perfectly for Ivan Guerrero and the club's 2005 MVP buried his left footed effort in the 37th minute.
Guerrero would show why he earned the award deep into first half stoppage time. Again Rolfe danced like a ballerina on the ball just outside the area before laying back for Guerrero who hit first-time blast that left Warren flat-footed as the ball sailed inside the left post.
#1 New England Revolution 1, #3 Chicago Fire 0 – Eastern Conference Final
Gillette Stadium; Foxboro, Mass.
November 6, 2005
The Fire and Revolution would begin a five-year consecutive streak of postseason meetings with the Eastern Conference final at Gillette and once again an early goal would play the part.
The Revs would go up 1-0 in the fourth minute when Daniel Henandez's ball over the top found Shalrie Joseph in the box on the right. The veteran midfielder hit a low effort towards the back post which connected with Clint Dempsey sliding through to give New England the lead.
A chippy first half made things difficult for either team to find the goal but Jack Stewart provided the best effort in the 45th minute when he ran through midfield before unleashing a low shot that just went wide of the right post.
The Fire came close again in the 63rd minute as Ivan Guerrero collected the ball on the left before cutting inside and hitting a blistering right-footed effort that Matt Reis punched away at the far post.
A minute later Chad Barrett and Thiago played a quick combination which saw the Brazilian blast a drive towards the left post that Reis did well to hang on to.
A number of dangerous crosses and displays of Reis rolling on the ground later, the Fire found themselves with an apparent equalizer in stoppage time when Thiago's forward ball out of midfield found Gonzalo Segares in stride and saw the rookie defender tap the ball past Reis and into the net.
Stepping out of the goal, Segares' immediate joy turned to disbelief as linesman George Gansner held his flag up on the sideline resulting in a number of Fire players to crowd him. In the melee, Segares' fellow countryman Andy Herron was red carded for dissent, effectively ending the Fire's chances of sending the match to overtime.
The replay would vindicate Gansner's call, showing Segares was just a shade past the Revolution backline when Thiago hit the ball, leaving the team to rue a missed opportunity at a fourth MLS Cup appearance in eight years.
