On Friday, May 3, 2019, we will celebrate the 7th Annual School Lunch Hero Day! School Lunch Hero Day is a chance to showcase the difference school nutrition professionals make for every child who comes through the cafeteria. School Lunch Hero Day provides you with the perfect opportunity to recognize the hardworking professionals in your school cafeterias. SNA has partnered with author Jarrett J. Krosoczka, of the "Lunch Lady" book series, to remind everyone—directors, managers, parents, students, and school staff—that school nutrition employees are superheroes that deserve some recognition. Want to learn more about the inspiration behind School Lunch Hero Day? Watching the video below! You can also check out Jarrett Krosoczka's Ted Talk about School Lunch Hero Day by clicking here!

In 1994, under the new Clinton White House, the Republican Party fielded a strong pack of candidates in the midterm elections. The result was that they took 54 House seats from the ruling party and wrested control of a Congress that had been largely under Democratic sway for several decades. That was also the year that Tim Kaine, a civil rights lawyer by trade, first won a seat on Richmond, Va.'s City Council, thus beginning a career in Democratic politics that would land him in the governor's seat and eventually find him co-chairing Barack Obama's presidential bid.
Now the chairman of the Democratic National Committee, Kaine is in a far different position than he was in 1994. The election season, however, seems familiar. With a Democrat-controlled Congress and a progressive president presiding over a country in dire straits, many Republican voters are angry and desirous of change. It's now Kaine's job to thwart them and avoid a repeat of the year that saw Newt Gingrich rise to power.
Currently on a national tour to drum up support from the Democratic base, Kaine took a break to speak with The Root, address the Tea Party and predict that the Democrats will keep the House and Senate. Nobody said he wasn't ambitious.
The Root: In the lead-up to the November elections, you've been on a whirlwind tour to reach out to the African-American community. What prompted this?
Tim Kaine: It's kind of who I am. I was a civil rights lawyer who never thought I'd be in politics; I was doing fair-housing cases in Richmond and then got sidetracked. I went into politics in my very diverse community in the city and became mayor. The thing that I love most about our party is the thing I love most about our country; I'm a big-tent guy.
I've been in 40-plus states as DNC chair already. And pretty consistently, I've tried to interact very significantly with African-American leadership. And now we're out telling the story of a great president's successes. But as [President Obama] said last night, there's still much more to do.
The election is more about what's still to be done rather than what has been done. And we need to make sure that — while the other guys want to take the country back — we have the president's back, and that we turn out and support candidates who are pledged to work with him rather than folks who come into office pledged to oppose him.
TR: Voting and general political enthusiasm is down among African Americans. How can the Democrats remedy that?
TK: First, we have to just acknowledge and be realistic about the fact that enthusiasm is down compared to 2008. It's not just African Americans; nobody votes in a nonpresidential year the way they vote in a presidential year … especially in 2008, which was a very energized, cathartic, emotional election, because we were making history in this country. And no one felt the pride in that more deeply than the African-American community. So it's hard in a year where the president isn't on the ballot … for there to be the same level of enthusiasm and excitement.
But here's what we see: Polling that over the summer showed a big gap in enthusiasm between Republicans and Democrats has dramatically narrowed. Polling that showed a generic edge of Republicans over Democrats has dramatically narrowed — and just last week, there was a Gallup poll that showed Democrats with an edge.
The key is, now that the primary season's over, that enables us to talk not about generic ballots but about who's up in these races. And we think we can paint a very accurate picture of a Democratic Party that has been doing heavy lifting in the toughest economy since the 1930s, turning the economy from shrinking to growing, ending the war in Iraq, reforming the health care system and expanding student loan opportunities. Contrast that with a Republican Party that has not yet articulated anything they're for. They are unified in being against what the president wants. Their opposition goes beyond policy to challenging his religion, challenging whether he's a United States citizen and more nonsense.
TR: This year saw dozens of African Americans running for office on the Republican ticket. Can you see a future in which a majority — or even half — of African Americans are Republicans?
TK: I don't think there's anything permanent about American political life. If you had asked this question of the head of the Republican Party in 1880, if there were going to be a future where a majority of African Americans were Democratic, they'd say, "Are you kidding?"
So I'm not going to say anything is permanent, but what I will say is this: We gather everyone around the table, and not in a token way, but a meaningful way. The Democratic Party's commitment to inclusion is something that I think is going to be very, very hard for the Republican Party to match for a very long time.
Not that they shouldn't try. I think that both parties should reach out; it's what we ought to do. But one party supports significant reform of a health care system that has left 20 percent of African Americans without health insurance, while the other party opposes that and wants to roll it back. One party supports a significant expansion of financial aid for students who have demonstrated financial need, while the other party would not even produce one vote to support expanded financial aid.
We have been trying for months to provide ways for small businesses to get loans from community banks, which would be a huge benefit to minority businesses. The Republicans had blocked it for months, and finally we broke their filibuster in the Senate and are now moving forward on that.
At the end of the day, it's the policies that matter. So when you've got marquee Republican candidates running and saying that the Civil Rights Act wasn't that important, we didn't need to have a Fair Housing Act or Social Security is a Ponzi scheme that should be privatized, those policies ultimately are the things that speak loudest to voters.
TR: It makes strategic sense for the GOP to reach out to minority groups, but they haven't made it a priority at all. Why do you think that is?
TK: I'm no historian professionally, but the Republican Party — beginning with the Nixon presidency — decided that, in the aftermath of passing the Civil Rights Act, the Republicans should make huge gains in the South. When President Johnson signed the Civil Rights Act, he said he knew it was going to be consigning his party to minority status in the South for a long time to come. And the Nixon campaign in '68 made a very calculated effort to exploit some of the tensions that were out there. That was the Southern strategy, and I think that that strategy and that attitude persisted in the Republican Party for some time.
You still see that element of the party when you've got folks like Rand Paul, who says that the Civil Rights Acts weren't needed. You have key Republican leaders saying we should redraft the 14th Amendment to the Constitution, the equal-protection portion of the Constitution. Now, they're doing that to deal with issues of the Latino population of the United States, but again, they're sending off a signal where you question whether they're really a welcoming party.
TR: What do you believe to be the appropriate Democratic response to the rise of the Tea Party movement?
TK: I think the Tea Party is a grass-roots movement, and my feeling is that whenever there's energy on the other side, you've got to respect it. I respect the energy. I disagree with a lot of their positions. I disagree with what I take to be some of their motivations. And I also think, frankly, some of the Tea Party energy that I do respect and that we have to take seriously is getting turned against [itself]. In other words, we're going to win some races in November that we wouldn't have won if it weren't for the Tea Party.
The right response for us is to do what we know how to do. We've always been a grass-roots-driven party. In recent years, what has developed is that the heart of Republican campaigns tends to be TV ad buys, while the heart of Democratic campaigns tends to be canvasses and field efforts. And that's certainly what we're doing at the DNC.
We have the Organizing for America department that has 300-plus full-time community organizers all over the United States. We were able to engage 3 million Americans to take some affirmative steps to help us pass health care. We've been able to engage 5 million Americans to take volunteer, affirmative steps to get some part of the Obama agenda passed through Congress, and we are now engaging that network of staffers and volunteers heavily around the midterms.
The right strategy for us is first to point out our differences of opinion with the Tea Party guys; second, we ought to see that [Tea Party] energy and redouble our efforts to be energetic, grass-roots and person-to-person in our political outreach.
TR: Looking toward the November elections, it's not a very rosy outlook for the Democrats. In the wake of defeat, what will be the DNC's next step?
TK: I think we're going to hold on to both houses. I'm not conceding defeat. I believe we will. You want to have the election on the right day, when you're on the rise rather than on the drop. Even in my own gubernatorial campaign in Virginia, I never saw an internal poll that had me ahead until about 10 days before the election.
We've got some good strong poll movement coming our way, not only nationally but in a number of these key states. I'm glad the election's five weeks from today and not tomorrow, but we are seeing some good movement coming our way. The president's rally last night, which was to kick off a series of four rallies in different parts of the country, will, I think, be very helpful.
We know that midterms are tough. Since Teddy Roosevelt was president, the average president in [the] midterm loses 28 House seats and four Senate seats. And we're not living in average times, so we have to assume our headwind is a bit stiffer than normal. But we're planning on holding on, and holding on to both houses.
And then the president is going to continue to do the heavy lifts and the hard things that the American public asked him to do. After a lost decade, America has finally turned a corner and is heading in the right direction. Now we've got to keep heading in the right direction.

It's a real-life unicorn! The spiral narwhal's tusk may well have given real-world support to unicorn myths, but the real animal is fascinating in its own right!
The Narwhal (Monodon monoceros) is the most northern whale, living in frigid waters along the edges of the permanent arctic ice-pack. The amazing tusk is its only tooth, erupting through the lip of the males as they mature. In spite of its remote habitat, it is economically important to the Inuit of northern Canada and Siberia. This pack contains male, female, juvenile, and calf forms to populate your arctic scenes.

Ed Levine's Serious Diet, Week 77: Good Snacks Come In Small Packages
As many of you know, I have gone cold turkey on 100 calorie snack packs. Unfortunately, that doesn't mean my cravings for the occasional sweet or chocolate have gone away. Let's face it, serious diet or no serious diet, sometimes you need the spiritual, emotional, and physical boost only a piece of something chocolate-covered or nutty can provide. I find that is true any time of the year, even now, when I have been eating locally grown strawberries, cherries, peaches, and blueberries with great pleasure. Stone fruit and berries are amazing gifts from nature, but once or twice a week I need something a little more decadent.
Given my weight, my body type, and my ability to metabolize such treats, I have set a limit of 200 calories for them. So twice a week, once on a weekday, once on the weekend, I treat myself to one of the following.
The list, after the jump.
Paul Newman Organic Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups: I have extolled their virtues previously on the site. They come three to a pack, and they're 60 calories apiece, so you can even have one mid-morning, one mid-afternoon, and one in the early evening. You get three times the pleasure without having to portion the treat out yourself.
Kind Bars: I've been meaning to share my passion for Kind Bars for awhile, and while this is not the appropriate post to do so, they are a great treat for people watching their weight. Kind Bars are less than 200 calories; they're big, so it takes awhile to eat one; and they're made with fruit and nuts and other reasonably healthy things. I like the macadamia and mango and the cranberry almond varieties they sell at Starbucks. In fact, Kind Bars may be the best food they sell at Starbucks.
I just discovered two small 200-calorie mini-treats at Pret A Manger. The handmade Love Bite, created by famed British chef Sally Clarke (think the English Alice Waters), is made with dark chocolate, coconut, walnuts, almonds, chopped dates, granola, raisins, butter, and graham cracker crumbs. A fudgy, blessedly unsweet chocolate brownie contains only bittersweet chocolate, vanilla, sugar, eggs, butter, flour, and salt.
The Weigh-In
It's been a rough week, with a couple of review meals and lots of good food arriving at Serious Eats World Headquarters. I've been reasonably careful, but sometimes reasonably careful doesn't cut it. Here we go: 215. Damn. Too many tastes of too many seriously delicious things. When I eat too much, small treats don't make much of a difference. Next week will be better.

JPMorgan Chase stands accused of allegedly precipitating the collapse Lehman Brothers Holdings by freezing Lehman assets days before it filed for bankruptcy protection.
Lehman creditors have accused JPMorgan of freezing $17 billion in cash and securities on Friday, Sept. 12, according to a published report. Lehman filed for bankruptcy the following Monday.
The news comes as the disgraced head of Lehman, Dick Fuld, tells Congress that banking regulators knew exactly how the company was pricing its distressed assets and about its liquidity in the montsh before its collapse.
For months while Lehman's fortunes continued to sour, it continued to assure the investing
public it could survive. Fuld held numerous conversations with JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon during this time.
Dimon's capital markets chief Steve Black met with Fuld days before the firm's bankruptcy. Its
unclear what Fuld told these insiders, but it is clear they were increasingly worried about the Lehman's future.
Rep. Henry Waxman, the Democratic chairman of the U.S. House of Representatives Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, has called Fuld and former chief executives of insurer American International Group to appear at hearings into the financial excesses that led to the collapse of the companies.
Here is a brief timeline of what happened to Lehman Brothers:
- Early summer: JPMorgan is the clearing bank on behalf of clients who have exposure to Lehman trade. These are money market fund and pension funds. JPMorgan also makes intra day loans to Lehman
- July: The head of JPMorgan's risk department begins asking for collateral from Lehman as it becomes clear that Lehman's problems aren't going away and clients are getting nervous
- JPMorgan asks for $5 billion in July, but does not receive it until August. And it receives structured securities, which JPMorgan considers difficult to value. When valued, JPMorgan feels they're worth significantly less than $5 billion. It is unclear why JPMorgan accepts these securities. But it should be noted that Lehman has publicly stated at this time that it is looking for capital and that it wants to sell its investment management business.
- Early September: Lehman still has not raised capital. It has approached several banks about possible mergers. Nothing happens. It sets a course to sell its investment management division to raise capital. But the firm's prospects begin to dim considerably; counterparties getting anxious; credit default swaps spiking.
- September 4: Lehman is really teetering. This time, JPMorgan asks for another $5 billion in collateral in cash. JPMorgan's internal analysis shows that the initial $5 billion tranche deteriorated significantly -- worth around $1 billion. JPMorgan demands the money on behalf of money market fund clients who are demanding collateral on trades with Lehman. The money doesn't come in.
- September 9: Steve Black, head of capital markets, knowing that Lehman has not paid the $5 billion from the week before, asks for another $5 billion in cash. He personally reaches out to Lehman CEO Dick Fuld. Fuld obliges with $3 billion. Black agrees, but JPMorgan is getting increasingly nervous: It is worried that Lehman will go bankrupt if it doesn't raise money. That same day JPMorgan also finds out Lehman is going to preannounce its losses and plans to raise capital.
- JPMorgan and Citigroup both call a meeting with Lehman's head of capital markets. Both ask Lehman not to go ahead with the announcement. It will spook markets unless it raises significant capital -- the sale of the investment management division would not be enough. Lehman said it was worth $8 billion but Street estimates were less than $3 billion. The firm needed around $4 billion in capital. However, nothing happens.
- September 10: Lehman does the pre-announcement and conference call to analysts. They assure investors the firm is healthy despite all the problems the firm had delivering capital to JPMorgan. Deutsche Bank analyst Mike Mayo asks the question about the need to raise $4 billion in capital. Lehman's CFO says it doesn't need that much.
- September 11-12: JPMorgan discovers that its initial $5 billion wasn't paid. It demands $8 billion immediately. Over those two days Lehman delivers the money.
- September 12: CNBC breaks the story that Lehman is selling itself
- September 13/14: The Fed tries to save Lehman through a private sector bailout, but this fails
- September 15: Lehman files for bankruptcy
In his testimony, Fuld said the SEC and the Fed conducted regular and at times daily oversight of Lehman's business and balance sheet, Fuld said.
On Tuesday, the committee will take on former AIG CEOs Robert Willumstad, Martin Sullivan and Maurice "Hank" Greenberg.

Waxman has a reputation for raking high-profile corporate executives over the coals as cameras roll. Last month, Waxman asked the CEOs to provide internal documents and communications transmitted to and from the executive suites during a 180-day period leading up to Sept. 16, the day after Lehman, the 158-year-old investment bank and Wall Street fixture, filed for bankruptcy.
Last week, lawmakers in Washington finally approved a $700 billion rescue package after much political wrangling, while European governments were forced to ride to the rescue of several major European banks.

As a result, new operations and maintenance (O&M) models such as reliability-centred maintenance and reconditioning programmes are becoming increasingly popular. However, these improvements are just the first glimpse of a much more ambitious and promising opportunity: turbine life extension.
Reliability-centred maintenance
Two years ago, as part of an aim to reduce the cost of energy of its worldwide fleet of turbines by 30% — bringing it close to price parity with other sources of energy — turbine manufacturer Gamesa looked at maintenance, and particularly reliability-centres maintenance (RCM). This is a process that has been used for more than 50 years in other industrial sectors such as nuclear, aeronautics, rail and aerospace. It involves studying failure modes of each component and their possible consequences on a more complex system. RCM optimises maintenance tasks, defining predictive, preventive and corrective actions, and finally determining when a component should be upgraded with the latest design.
So rather than just fixing a broken turbine component with the same component that could fail again, RCM is a dynamic process nurtured by operational experience, which configures each maintenance programme based on the evolution of the turbine, and at the point of its life cycle it has reached. This guarantees optimised maintenance and allows an extension of the original useful life by identifying where it is possible to make some hardware or software upgrades to boost reliability or ease of maintenance.
But RCM is about more than simply upgrading individual turbine components and software systems. Such improvements will certainly increase the time between turbine failures, but the productivity of a wind farm can also be affected by a turbine's regular downtime, and this stems mainly from a lack of parts, limited technical experience of the personnel and low operational efficiency.
Logistics upgrade
With this in mind, another key element of successful RCM is the complete overhaul of logistics networks and the roll-out of cutting-edge mobility solutions to ensure the right components are in the right place at the right moment for swift and timely maintenance work. Advances in logistics processes and tools, for example, now mean that technicians equipped with tablet computers have at their fingertips the necessary systems to identify parts digitally using barcode scanners and order spares, as well as being able to access online user manuals and best practice documentation. Meanwhile, all service tools, such as spare part replenishment and task managers, have been interconnected with an internal weather and lightning forecast tool. As a consequence, all maintenance scheduled tasks are performed on turbines during low wind periods.
Better availability
The profound and continuous transformation of Gamesa's new maintenance — which incorporates design and service process improvements with the aim of delivering 99% turbine availability — was conceived precisely to increase revenue and cut running costs. By the start of this year, more than 25% of the fleet maintained by the company had been upgraded with this new programme, improving the average availability of turbines by 1% in just one year.
Meanwhile, by overhauling the maintenance processes the average downtime of the fleet can be reduced by as much as 71%, finds Gamesa. What's more, reliability-centred maintenance has been found to reduce the impact of preventive maintenance on wind farm revenues by 80% and, overall, wind farms' operating expenditure by 10%.
Reconditioning of major components
The real challenge for the wind industry, in order to achieve a cost of energy comparable with other sources of energy, is to upgrade the existing fleet. Currently, more than 70GW of turbines around the world have been running for more than five years. Upgrading these turbines could make the wind farms profitable beyond their original useful lifetime, with no need for subsidies.
Gamesa's reliability maintenance programme undertakes the reconditioning of major components, such as blades, gearboxes and generators, enhancing their constituent parts or replacing these elements with the latest technological advancements. In some cases, as a preventive measure, or during repairs, the damaged parts are replaced with the same original element.
Gear geometry
For example, reconditioning a turbine gearbox can involve redesigning the gear geometry, reinforcing the crown gear, replacing the existing bearings with a different design, and changing auxiliary systems connected to the gearbox to improving working conditions. This significant redesign can double the gearbox operating life for less than 20% of the cost of a new gearbox. It can also reduce maintenance costs.
Extension of the useful life of wind turbines can be achieved by investing in preventive and corrective activities to keep the turbines working for 30 years, compared to the 20 years of useful life originally envisaged for early models, and giving additional years of revenue from a wind farm.
Additionally, upgrading components with state-of-the-art technology will improve the turbine's efficiency and performance, which cuts running costs and keeps them low over the long term. The useful life extension programme prevents an aging wind farm's running costs steadily increasing over time, stabilising them at the levels of a 10-year-old wind farm and making them compatible with a the €50/MWh price of energy.
Life extension of wind farm assets also allows an automatic increase in the company's asset value, potentially raising the value by 33% for five-year-old turbines to 100% in the case of 15-year-old turbines. The total value of the company (equity) and the profits increase automatically without any need for investment, as asset amortisation and financial costs are spread over a wider period.
Finally, many of the projects in mature markets that were not profitable, with a price of energy at €50/MWh, now become attractive.
In the past 15 years the whole wind industry has drastically increased its technical know-how and operational experience, making a longer operational lifetime possible.
Improved aero-elastic models
Certifying agencies validate manufacturers' turbine design, ensuring that security margins are sufficient to bear loads during the entire original useful lifetime of 20 years. Eighteen years of operational experience has provided the necessary know-how to improve and cleverly tune mathematical models in order to simulate the evolution of turbine structural elements (frame and tower) over the long term.
Real, useful data
Condition monitoring has been used for many years in power plants and industrial facilities. At the beginning, it was scarcely used in wind turbines because of scepticism about its advantages for end-customers, and even today it is often seen as merely 'nice to have' for onshore turbines
However, some manufacturers do use the continuous and critical data from condition monitoring to improve the design of existing main components (reconditioning), and to design new gearboxes and blades for out-of-production turbines, such as Gamesa's G47 and V47 turbines.
Credit crunch effect
Only five years ago, few people in the wind industry believed in the life extension programme, as the entire market was instead favouring repowering of older wind turbines. As the turbine's power rating was increasing quickly and financing was not an issue, most of the manufacturers were planning to replace the oldest turbines with new ones.
However, with the recent and potentially long-lasting credit crunch that is being faced by the industry, many customers are no longer willing to take such a risk.
For turbines with nominal power of above 500kW, maximising existing investments at the lowest cost and with complete security is the most appropriate solution, until the economic turmoil finally comes to an end.
It is possible to extend the life of most wind turbines, and original manufacturers are one of the key stakeholders in the process.
First and most obviously, the original manufacturer must still exist, as it would be difficult for any third party to develop a comprehensive solution that would drive turbines up to 30 or even 35 years of operational life.
Second, in order to develop cutting-edge solutions, the original manufacturers must have all the appropriate resources such as research and development, operational experience, investment capacities, and so on, which could be the real challenge when you plan to extend the operational life of 15-year-old turbines.
The company must also have an adapted service strategy and strong operational experience to be able to offer full-scope maintenance contracts for the next 15 years of operations.
This ability to keep operational expenditures under control over the long term ensures cash flow certainty to banks and investors who might agree to renegotiate loan repayment terms with wind plant owners.
Spare parts
The original manufacturer must have the ability to supply, at a reasonable price, all spare parts for the 30 years of operation. From this perspective, manufacturers that maintain a substantial part of their oldest turbines will have the adapted supply chain to guarantee it.

When I was a kid and travelled up to the big city, my sister and I would point out the car window and cry "dinosaurs" when pylons appeared on the hills. In this Icelandic dreamland, kids would shout "people!"
Or maybe start singing The Village People's YMCA.
Every year, Iceland's pylon design competition turns up some stunners. This particular entry, created by Choi+Shine in Brookline, Massachusetts, took inspiration from human life - as evidenced by the large male and female figures dotted around the imaginary landscapes.
While they're unlikely to be constructed in Iceland any time soon, the designers came up with half a dozen poses for the 45m-tall figurines, which could be used depending on the load of wires or height needed. Incidentally, in Australia pylons are often referred to as "ironmen" - perhaps the land Down Under can commission Choi+Shine to build these figurines for them, considering Iceland didn't select this design as the winner in the 2008 competition.

Tenth Avenue North Takes Fans Inside
- 2011 1 Mar
Artist: Tenth Avenue North
Title: Live: Inside and In Between
Label: Reunion Records
Live CD/DVD shows both depth and rock facet of this maturing band ...
In a short time, Tenth Avenue North has already captivated audiences with its unique brand of pop/rock, filled with signature hooks and profound lyrical content. On the band's first live CD/DVD recording, fans are treated to a closer look at the members behind the band.
Live: Inside and In Between captures two sides of the group that many fans miss unless they have seen Tenth in concert. For starters, charismatic frontman Mike Donehey is a pastoral leader of sorts. His depth and knowledge of theology is surprising when you hear his monologues from stage. The DVD portion depicts this side of Donehey well, providing short snippets of what the project dubs "song parables," revealing the young lead singer delving into deeper issues with the camera capturing him at once on the beach or on a rooftop and then switching back to Donehey talking live on stage. These short story segments provide insight into Tenth Avenue North's songs as well as Donehey's perspective and personality, allowing fans to understand where the band is coming from more clearly.
Second, the CD/DVD provides a look at the band's live show which is more up-beat than the majority of the band's polished pop found on its studio albums. From the first strains of the band's out-of-the-box hit "Love Is Here" to the closing notes of "By Your Side" (which also incorporates the powerful chorus of "Hallelujah" from its debut), the band showcases a high-energy live performance that is all at once cohesive, entertaining and innovative.
Both the DVD and CD contain the same six songs, with selections split evenly between the band's debut and The Light Meets the Dark. Donehey's vocals are quite raw and imperfect at times, but that's what gives this live recording a warm, organic quality. In fact, his voice is reminiscent of Jon Foreman, reminding listeners why the band has often been compared to Switchfoot.
In addition to live performance footage, mainly culled from the band's recent opening slot for Casting Crowns as well as its own headlining tour, the DVD contains behind-the-scenes features; stories behind the songs; all three of its official music videos and a unique, humorous look at the group's origins, as told by the band.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – Christina Kessler stopped 29 shots to record her second shutout against No. 2 Minnesota in as many days, as the Crimson skated to a 0-0 tie against the Golden Gophers before 703 fans at Bright Hockey Center Saturday afternoon. With the tie, Harvard moves to 7-3-2 and extends its unbeaten streak to seven games (5-0-2), while Minnesota is now 13-3-2 overall.
The Crimson mustered 13 of the first 16 shots on goal to start the game, holding a 14-7 edge in shots during the first period. Minnesota was whistled for two penalties in the first and three more infractions in the second period, but Harvard could not score on its chances with an extra attacker, finishing the day 0-for-8 with 10 shots. With time winding down in the second stanza, Minnesota's Chelsey Jones had the best scoring chance of the first two frames, as her shot from just inside the left faceoff circle went through Kessler's legs. However, the puck hit her left skate before rolling away from the crease.
Harvard earned a two-skater advantage at 5:51 of the third period when Minnesota was called for back-to-back cross-checking and hooking penalties. The Crimson only fired one shot during the 5-on-3, a chance off the stick of Leanna Coskren, but Minnesota goaltender Noora Raty kicked it aside. With 4:00 remaining in regulation, Minnesota was whistled for high sticking, creating Harvard's eighth power play of the evening. Moments later Katharine Chute came inches away from getting Harvard on the scoreboard when her wrist shot struck the cross bar above Raty. In overtime, Coskren and Kate Buesser each took shots on net, but Raty was there to make both saves before the game ended in a tie.
The Crimson, which has now killed 25 straight power plays by opponents, recorded 29 shots on the day. Harvard also led on the dot, holding the edge in faceoffs, 31-29.
The Crimson will host Connecticut in Harvard's third straight game against a non-conference opponent Tuesday, Dec. 8 at 7 p.m.

The Winston-Salem Department of Transportation (WSDOT) maintains all street name signs within the city limits.
Street name signs are made to retro-reflect a driver's headlights, so they appear to shine at night. Retro-reflection means the sign reflects light directly back to the oncoming vehicle, rather than allowing it to scatter into the darkness. This is done using special plastics for the face of the signs, containing millions of glass beads or prisms.
Several years ago, the city changed from six-inch to nine-inch tall street name signs with white borders. WSDOT did this to increase the sign's visibility for older drivers and to provide better indicators of intersection locations. These new signs are installed at existing locations as the old signs wear out.
Developers of residential properties are responsible for the cost of the initial installation of street name signs in their developments. The WSDOT installs and maintains all standard street name signs. Any problems with the street name signs should be reported to City Link at 311 or 336-727-8000.

Narrow results by city
Rent to Own Homes in Maryland
The below results are primarily rent to own homes in :
With shorelines meeting the Chesapeake Bay and the Atlantic Ocean, Maryland is one of the best places to live in the United States if you want to enjoy life by the water. The shoreline along the bay is home to Fort McHenry, the state's science center, an aquarium and many other popular tourist destinations. Blue crabs are served up in abundance at bayside crab shacks, satisfying seafood lovers from around the world. If you're a commuter, you may also appreciate that this small state is conveniently located near Washington D.C. and West Virginia.
Residents of Maryland enjoy spending time outdoors, but they also invest heavily in education and historical exploration. The state is home to the University of Maryland as well as the Southern Maryland Community College. Baltimore is a port city with tremendous historical significance to United States history, and it's a great place to spend time walking through museums.
For cultured residents and visitors, Baltimore City is a rich source of entertainment that the whole family can enjoy. Whether you're visiting the wild horses at the Assateague Island National Seashore and State Park on the eastern Maryland shoreline or hiking the mountains and watching historical reenactments in western Maryland, there's never a shortage of fun in this state.
Buying a Home in Maryland
The average price of a single-family home in Maryland is $150,000, but there are some exclusive and waterside neighborhoods where the prices can easily double or triple that figure. There are areas where you can secure beautiful homes for less than $100 per square foot, and then there are neighborhoods where final prices are substantially higher.
Many of Maryland's larger cities are centered on condos and apartment complexes, but you can find a variety of single-family homes in rural and suburban areas. Before you start working with a realtor to explore your options, determine your ideal budget as well as your maximum budget. You may also want to determine the features that you must have in your home, including the number of bedrooms needed and whether you want luxury amenities like a swimming pool. Once you know what you want, an experienced real estate agent can help you identify homes throughout the state that will meet your needs.
Popular Neighborhoods in Maryland
Frederick, Maryland is one of the best neighborhoods for business professionals, entrepreneurs and families of all sizes. While it is located rather close to Washington D.C., it also has its own thriving economic center with jobs available in a variety of industries. There are exclusive streets lined with upscale shops as well as ball fields, art museums and theaters. The city is also home to some of the best public schools in the state.
If you want to live in Baltimore, consider buying a home in thriving neighborhoods like Canton. This area is full of small restaurants and local entertainment venues, including a women's roller derby team, a community pool and a karaoke bar. If you prefer a more rural living environment, you may find the perfect home in the suburb known as Cockeysville.
Buying vs. Rent to Own Homes
You experience a unique sense of achievement when you sign the contract for your first home purchase. While the process of selecting the perfect home is often daunting and the process of sealing the deal with the current owners is typically scary, there's nothing like picking up the keys and knowing that you are now a homeowner. Unfortunately, this is an experience that many people may never experience because they are hesitant to walk into a lender's office and start the traditional process of applying for a home loan.
An alternative to the traditional home-buying process is now giving many long-term renters the chance to secure their own homes. This alternative is the rent-to-own contract. If you choose this path to home ownership, you start out renting the property. You get to move in right away, but the current owner retains legal rights to the property until you purchase the home at a later date. There are a variety of specific terms that may define this type of agreement, so make sure to read the fine print and ask questions before determining if this is the right home-buying option for you.
Cost of Living in Maryland
The overall cost of living in Maryland is approximately 16 percent higher than the national average. This largely reflects the cost of housing, which is more than 40 percent higher than the national average. Other expenses range from 5 to 10 percent above the national average, and some goods and services may fall slightly below average. Since some cities and neighborhoods are more expensive than others, it is possible to find homes that fit with virtually any budget. You just may not have as many options if you are shopping on a tight budget in this state.
Located close to Washington D.C. and surrounded by large bodies of water, Maryland is a beautiful city with a thriving economy. Residents can choose between large cities like Baltimore or many smaller towns offering homes in a more rural setting. You can live by the port and enjoy fresh blue crabs any day of the week or head out into more remote areas to live on a farm. You can live miles away from the nearest store or just minutes from a street lined with boutiques. While the state is small, it manages to deliver a comfortable living environment for everyone.

Welcome everybody again to a new Let's Play! This time, i want to talk about P-UAE. What's P-UAE? P-UAE is a Commodore Amiga emulator for Linux. It's easy to use, free, and highly customizable. Well... Let's go!
A hard choice... Or not?
P-UAE is a native linux Commodore Amiga emulator, so there's no choice.
Talking about performances...
First of all my hardware:
agp_aperture_size: 256
cpu: AMD Phenom(tm) II X4 955 Processor
cpu_ghz: 0.80
distro: Ubuntu 11.10 oneiric
kernel: 3.0.0-13-generic
machine_bitness: 64
memory: 3960
soundcard: HDA ATI SB at 0xfbcf4000 irq 16
soundcard_driver: ALSA Version 1.0.23
videocard_direct: True
videocard_driver_version: 4.1.0 NVIDIA 280.13
videocard_manufacturer: NVIDIA Corporation
videocard_ram: 1024
videocard_type: GeForce GTX 550 Ti/PCI/SSE2
x_version: X.Org X Server 1.10.1
This time there's no comparison because being an old games emulator, performances depend by the emulator itself and not by the OS.
Anyway, performances are great on Ubuntu (this time, 11.10 64-bit version)!
The process takes about 10 minutes (including program download, alien download, rpm to deb converting and program installation).
The site at the beginning of the video is "http://pkgs.org/download/p-uae".
Feel free to send me an email or leave a comment if you got some problems or if you just wanna ask me a question. I will always answer you!

Acquired over the previous offseason, right-hander Pedro Martinez electrified the Fenway Park crowd like few others before him. With Martinez dominating every fifth day, the Red Sox earned a Wild Card berth but were bounced once again by the Indians in the ALDS.
Record: 92-70, 2nd in American League East (Wild Card)
Manager: James F. Williams
Attendance: 2,343,947
Postseason: Played in American League Division Series
In Fenway Park's 1998 home opener, Seattle's Randy Johnson struck out 15 Boston hitters through eight innings and left with a 7-2 lead. Undeterred, the Red Sox staged a furious comeback against Seattle closer and former teammate Heathcliff Slocumb in the bottom of the ninth and ended the game on a Mo Vaughn walk-off grand slam. Vaughn had endured a tumultuous offseason after his involvement in a January auto accident but all was forgotten when the first baseman hit the slam. As Vaughn circled the bases, the Fenway PA system began playing The Standells' "Dirty Water," which quickly became a Fenway Park tradition. The song is still played after every Red Sox home win.
Pedro Martinez pitched his first game in Fenway Park the following afternoon and struck out 12 in a two-hit, complete game shut out. As the year progressed, more and more Dominican flags appeared at Fenway Park. Martinez went 19-7 with a 2.89 ERA and 251 strikeouts in first season with the Red Sox.
A fully-healthy Bret Saberhagen contributed a 15-8 season and Tim Wakefield went 17-8. Tom Gordon became the closer and saved 46 games in 1998.
The Red Sox finished well behind the 114-win Yankees in the AL East but the team qualified for the Wild Card and earned an American League Division Series matchup with the Indians.
After losing 13 consecutive postseason games, the Red Sox finally broke the streak with an 11-3 victory over Cleveland in Game One. However they promptly lost the next three games and were eliminated from playoff competition.
Due to uncooperative weather, the 1998 Baseball Beanpot didn't have a tournament winner. Harvard and the University of Massachusetts won their semi-final games and were ready to meet up in the championship on April 23, but rain forced a postponement and the game was eventually cancelled. In late June, a team of Massachusetts High School All-Stars beat a collection of Connecticut High School All-Stars, 2-1.
|1998 Non-Red Sox Baseball At Fenway Park
|April 21
|Harvard 11, Northeastern 0 (Beanpot Semi-Finals)*
|April 21
|University of Massachusetts 7, Boston College 2 (Beanpot Semi-Finals)*
|April 23
|Boston College 9, Northeastern 8 (7 innings) (Beanpot Consolation)*

*Starting in 1990, Fenway Park has hosted the annual Baseball Beanpot, baseball's version of the longstanding Boston hockey tradition. Originally, the competition featured the same schools that battle for Hockey Beanpot: Boston College, Boston University, Northeastern University and Harvard University. However, when BU dropped their baseball program after the 1995 season, the University of Massachusetts took their place. The Baseball Beanpot has been held at Fenway Park every year since its inception except for in 2004 and 2010, when the tournament was played at Campanelli Stadium in Brockton, MA.

I had a GREAT time doing SEO this past summer. I was one of the interns at Cleary
Bump - any more insights into SEO Corporate Law? I just applied for this, just made the deadline for the second round which is today. I do want to rest up before law school but I can't resist an opportunity like this, esp. since I want to work in corporate law anyway.
Just got an email saying I've been selected for an interview in NYC. Anyone else get this? I'm pretty stoked. Does anyone know if they supply any kind of reimbursement for the travel costs of the interview?

NFL superstar Randy Moss, whose sour attitude often overshadowed his electrifying talent, has decided to retire.
Moss, a certain Hall of Famer, is second all-time among wide receivers in touchdowns, trailing only Jerry Rice. Drafted by the Minnesota Vikings in 1998 out of Marshall University, Moss led the league in touchdowns as a rookie, with 17. Later in his career, he teamed with New England's Tom Brady to put up one of the greatest seasons a wide receiver ever had, catching 23 touchdown passes in 2007. The team went undefeated in the regular season, but lost in the Super bowl to the New York Giants.
But he was always criticized for not giving enough effort on plays in which his number wasn't called and he had several off the field incidents that hinted at a character problem. As his talent diminished, coaches seemed less inclined to give him a long leash.
U.S. & World
The day's top national and international news.
"After weighing his options and contemplating offers, he's decided to retire," Moss's agent Joel Segal told ESPN's Adam Schefter.
Moss began last year with the Patriots, but after complaining to the press about his contract, he was traded back to the Vikings. There, he complained about a team meal and was such a distraction that the coach cut him without consulting the team brass. He finished the second half of the season with the Tennessee Titans, but was ineffective.

Mobile network Everything Everywhere (EE) has announced plans to rollout 4G services to its customers before the end of 2012, subject to regulatory approval.
EE is hoping that communications regulator Ofcom will grant it permission to use its 1800Mhz spectrum to provide 4G services, following a trial that is due to take place in Bristol in April.
It claims that the trial will provide EE with "key learnings" on the performance of 4G LTE over its existing 1800Mhz spectrum.
However, even if Ofcom grants EE approval, not all of its customers will benefit from the faster services immediately. An EE spokesperson confirmed that the rollout of 4G services will occur on a "region by region" basis, and no details of timelines could be provided.
EE is also undergoing a nationwide upgrade to its current 3G technology, where it is rolling out HSPA+ 21 across its network.
According to the mobile operator it has already upgraded 60 percent of the network, and is due to complete in the third quarter of 2012. HSPA+ 21 should enable EE customers to receive an estimated 50 percent increase in data download speeds, and up to 100 per cent faster upload speeds.
EE is also planning trials of HSPA+ 42, which offers faster speeds than that of HSPA+ 21, in the second quarter of this year, with a goal to roll out the technology to customers in the fourth quarter of 2012.
"Everything Everywhere's vision is to launch 4G for Britain as soon as possible, and the roll out of 3.5G HSPA+ and our 4G trials across Britain are major steps towards delivering on that promise," said Olaf Swanteee, CEO at Everything Eveywhere.
"Subject to regulatory approval by the spring, Everything Everywhere will be in a position to begin the roll out of 4G before the end of the year," he added.
"There is a great opportunity for the UK to have the 21st Century network that it so deserves, putting the nation on a level playing field with other parts of Europe, the USA and Asia".
The UK's 4G spectrum auction has been riddled with problems in recent months, with Ofcom facing legal challenges from the network operators around the rules of the spectrum sale. It has been delayed numerous times but is now set for the fourth quarter of 2012.
It was also announced this week that mobile operators are going to have to spend up to £180 on implementing solutions for households that experience intereference with their digital terrestrial TV as a result of the 4G rollout.
Three, Vodafone, O2 and Ofcom were not able to provide comment at the time of publication.
