WARRENVILLE – All six Geneva and St. Charles boys and girls cross country teams successfully navigated the muddy course at the IHSA Class 3A Wheaton North Regional on Saturday at St. James Forest Preserve to advance to next weekend's St, Charles East Sectional Meet.
The area girls' teams took the top three positions and had eight of the top 10 finishers.
Geneva won the girls regional with 35 points. Sophomore Brooke Nusser (17:54.0) came in second followed by teammate McKenzie Altmayer (18.04.0). Geneva's Kathryn Adelman took fifth (18:21.1) and Sydney Geils came in eighth (18:37.9).
"It was so muddy and we were slipping around everywhere but it was fun," Nusser said. "You had to take the corners a little wide and you had to slow down a little bit to make it around."
The North girls (59) took second and East (70) came in third. North Star freshman Nina Olshever (18:09.2) came in fourth in the race. Teammate Kaylee Wessel took seventh (18:35.1).
Saints Torree Scull (18:39.7) and Sara Hill (18:44.0) rounded out the top 10.
In the boys race, North came in second with a score of 74 behind host Wheaton North's 34 points.
North Star Nick Borger (15:38.3) led his team with a fourth place finish.
Geneva finished in fourth (104) and East (136) took sixth place.
The Saints' Max Rowland (15:36.1) paced his team in third place while Nathan Wendt's (15:49.0) ninth place finish was tops for the Vikings.ĀĀĀ
The top seven teams advance to the sectionals along with the top five runners from the remaining three teams.
DeKalb runners took first in both races. Marc Dubrick won the boys race with a time of 15:26.7 while Kelsey Schrader's time of 17:30.5 won the girls competition.
"Times were a little slower but the impact wouldn't be more on anybody else than it would be on us," Geneva coach Bob Thomson said about the course conditions.
"Winning it (the regional) is icing on the cake," Thomson said about his team's first place finish.Ā "We don't usually have the goal to win a regional. Our goal is to qualify through from regionals to sectionals and from sectionals to state so this is one of the steps along the way."
Thomson is optimistic about the girls' chances at the sectional.
"Next week looks good," Thomson said. "Right now if you look at rankings, the girls should make it."
"I was very happy with how we ran," said North Stars boys coach Kevin Harrington. "It wasn't perfect but that's the nice part. We ran well but our perfect race is waiting out there. We ran confidently and we ran well."
"It was great to have Nick Borger come in the top five," Harrington added. "He ran a great race he was right up there on the tail of the leaders the whole time."
North's Spencer Gray's finish was impacted by the sloppy course conditions.
"Gray, who's been our normal number one, he took a bite of mud," Harrington said. "He was third all the way until one of the last turns, then he went down. Spencer got up and took sixth."Ā
The St. Charles East Sectional will be run at LeRoy Oakes Forest Preserve next Saturday, starting at 10 a.m.

The King Center Imaging Project was initiated and driven by JPMorgan Chase's Technology for Social Good group. This team within JPMorgan Chase is focused on leveraging the technology resources and talent within JPMorgan Chase to help nonprofits and NGOs across the globe. Collectively, The King Center archives houses over one million documents that chronicle Dr. King's life as well as The Civil Rights Movement. Until the launch of this website, the archives were generally only accessible to scholars who visited The King Center and made a request for access. Below, you will find a list of the technology partners and technologies used to execute this project and make it a success.
AT&T and EMC generously donated the cloud storage required to warehouse the digital assets and derivatives created by this project. These digital assets are housed on AT&T Synaptic Storage as a Service℠ (powered by EMC's Atmos ® cloud enabled storage). This on-demand storage service enables the King Center to store, manage and make available unprecedented online global access to its digital archive from any location, anytime, using any Web-enabled device.
The design of the imaging lab and the processes for capturing images were engineered by Scott Geffert of imagingetc. The archival master versions of images were captured in accordance with Metamorfoze and FADGI preservation imaging guidelines based upon ISO standards.
Once documents are imaged, they are imported into an open source document management system called Alfresco. During the processing workflow, images are QA'd and cropped, appropriate pages are rendered and assembled into a single document and metadata is assigned. Alfresco was customized and implemented by Micro Strategies. Inc.
The user interface and graphical design of the site was executed by C&G Partners. The website runs on Drupal, an open source content management platform. Drupal was customized and implemented by Palantir.net.
The website is hosted in the cloud by Acquia. All of the networking, storage, and server infrastructure at The King Center for this project was setup and configured by Micro Strategies, Inc.

Furious rock with distorted guitars, hammering rhythm section and acid synth line starting in the middle of the track. At some points in the track, I've added large crowd shouting samples for more power and impact. This track could be used in various projects and situations requiring aggressive, fast and powerful rock music with an attitude.
There are 60 and 30 seconds edits included in the main download file, along with the full version. Here is the list of included files:
1. Speedmonsters & Superpunks (2:12);

I think Twittervision, and Flickrvision are really cool. However, I thought, to be even better, why not have them as a screen saver?! So, last night I whipped up a MacOS X screen saver that shows these. You can choose one or the other, or have it randomly choose which one to use. This is literally a quick hack. I plan to add some other visualizations, such as Breathing Earth, and others (send me your suggestions).

Totally cool. I don't know what it is about Twittervision and Flickrvision, but I have always found them very hypnotic.
With the screen saver, my productivity is doomed!

Chris, your screensaver is awesome. I have a Mac Pro with two monitors and it dutifully puts up Twittervision on one and Flickrvision on the other. I will point others to this. I started to open Quartz composer to set up something like this but that area's not my strength. Thanks for a great addition to the family!

Thanks for all the great comments folks. In terms of the speed issues, I don't know, is the straight answer. The screen saver simply uses a WebKit/Safari window to display it. From what I see, the performance is the same, or quite close to running it in Safari. I'm welcome to any ideas/suggestions for improving it.
- May 16, 2007, 11:23:00 AM
- Chris said...
Very very cool. I especially like having flickrvision on my main display, and twittervision on my 2nd display.
Would it be possible to have an option to have one on each monitor (assuming you have 2 monitors) all the time rather than just sometimes when on random?
Thanks for putting this together.
- May 16, 2007, 11:56:00 AM

Chris and Dave, thanks for the comments about the multiple monitors. I'm traveling at the moment, but once I'm home next week, I'll be able to work on the multiple monitor stuff. That's a great idea to have one on each monitor.

Awesome screen saver. A suggestion, though, which will help performance. ... zoom the map a little further out, so it doesn't have to jump to a location. On a 2-GHz MacBook w/2GB of RAM, it still chugs moving from one side of the map to the other.

Many People ask me for a Flickrspy Screensaver. I'm wondering how you did the twittervision screensaver. that would be the same for the flickrspy, i could provide the online code if you could catch it. (http://leumund.ch/v3/flickrspy)

@leumund: I will add FlickrSpy as an option in my screensaver. I have a new version in process that also adds Twittervision 3D. Hopefully have a new version out within the next week (I'm at RailsConf right now, and busy finishing up two presentations, etc.).

For some reason the screensaver keeps crashing my System Prefrences window, when I click Test in screensaver settings window. Not sure why.
Hope I can get it up and running and see how the screensaver is.

re: Slowness.
I use Firefox normally. Expanding the Firefox window to full screen, there is some SLIGHT stuttering, but it's hardly noticeable, and perfectly acceptable.
Then I started Safari, which I almost never use, and loaded Flickrvision on a max-zoomed window. EXACT same stuttering I see in the screensaver. It appears you're off the hook. It also appears I can't use your screensaver without stuttering, which sucks.
Possibly playing with zoom settings would help. I zoomed my Safari window out so there was no scrolling, and it was fine. Possibly a configurable zoom setting?
- May 18, 2007, 8:44:00 AM
- Chris said...
Re Stuttering, speed, etc... I'm hoping to work with Dave Troy to get zoom settings on the API so I can set the zoom based on your screen size, and work around the stuttering issues.

Do you have it for windows xp?

Hey, Chris. Just want to add to the chorus here about how great the screensaver is. I've really enjoyed it for the past few days. The Twittervision part does stutter for me, so I just leave it on Flickrvision and all is well. Thanks again for doing this. I'll look forward to watching it evolve!

Chris, excellent work, since I'd never get around to going to Flickrvision otherwise. I've mentioned the screensaver in TidBITS; see "Visions of the Sublime and the Inane" at http://db.tidbits.com/article/9013.
One suggestion that no one else seems to have made. With the Flickrvision screensaver, it would be great if you could figure out how to do the mouseover so the pictures expand to a larger size. I can make it happen in System Preferences, but obviously moving the mouse while the screensaver is running doesn't work. :)
cheers... -Adam

Adam, thanks very much for the mention on TidBITS! I'm going to post shortly on some updates. I don't have a new version yet, but a lot of requests have come in, so I'm working on things (multi-monitor support, more visualizations, more options, etc.).
A lot of folks have requested the mouse over ability. I think enough now that I will see about making it an option. I just have to look into how to disable mouse movement turning off the screen saver.
Anyway, hopefully I'll have an update in the next few weeks.

I'm interested in learning how to program an RSS screensaver for a Mac OS X platform. I need to know which development tools, programming language, etc.
I've created a short screensaver using VB on a Win2k platform with .net.
But I've been wanting to develop something for Mac for some time.
Will you be sharing that info anytime soon?
- Jun 27, 2007, 4:58:00 PM
- Chris said...
Jake, I used the Screen Saver project template in Xcode to get the basic framework. Then, you will need to write the code to do all the display, etc. There are ample docs on the ScreenSaver classes in Cocoa on Apple's web site (or with the documentation in the Xcode install). I believe there may also be RSS classes for Cocoa, or you can likely find something out there.
If you don't know Cocoa, and Objective-C, then you'll need to start by learning some of that. I would highly recommend Hillgass's book, Cocoa Programming for Mac OS X". If you know C, or better, C++, then Objective-C is pretty easy to learn, and it's actually pretty cool (can't wait for Obj-C 2.0, which adds some great stuff).

The Valentines
Don't Say Goodnight
Valentines lead singer Richard Barrett was so busy behind the scenes with label owner George Goldner that it's a wonder he had any time to make new platters with his New York-based Valentines. Barrett had brought Frankie Lymon and The Teenagers to Goldner's Gee logo, and more recently played a similarly mentor role with The Chantels. With all that extracurricular activity, the handwriting was on the wall for his group, which had enjoyed East Coast popularity with their rockers Lily Maybelle and The Woo Woo Train for Goldner's Rama label (you'll find them on our 1955 and '56 discs, respectively).
They'd go out on a high note with the exquisite ballad Don't Say Goodnight, issued on Rama in the spring of '57 with I Cried Oh, Oh on the opposite side. There had been a couple of personnel changes. Baritone Eddie Edgehill and tenor Raymond Briggs had been replaced by Carl Hogan, the original second tenor of the group when they were known as The Dreamers (he'd also been half of the duo Charles & Carl on the Red Robin label), and a recent member of The Pearls, David Clowney (aka Dave 'Baby' Cortez), who doubled on piano. Baritone Mickey Francis and bass Ronnie Bright remained on board.
Barrett and Hogan were joined in the writers' credits on Don't Say Goodnight by one Moishe, no last name proffered. That would be Moishe Levy, the boss of Roulette Records, who had recently bought Goldner's Rama and Gee labels to reportedly square George's gambling debts. George formed a couple of fresh logos, Gone and End, and went right on recording. Someday Levy would own them too.
Not long after that, The Valentines called it quits. Barrett would continue to enjoy success as a writer and producer, maintaining his Svengali role for The Chantels and later The Three Degrees. Barrett cut some solo sides as a singer, notably Some Other Guy in 1962 on Atlantic. He died August 3, 2006 of prostate cancer in Gladwyne, Pennsylvania. Hogan formed The Miracles (he should have trademarked the name) and made an early '57 single for Bobby Robinson's Fury label that may well have been out even before The Valentines' swan song. Bright played the title role in Johnny Cymbal's '63 pop hit Mr. Bass Man, a spoof of the doo-wop era, and replaced Dub Jones in the Coasters.

Bookshelves often seem to burst. You always try to squeeze in another book into the last gap which is far too narrow. "Platzhalter" gives in to force and makes space for more books by literally bursting. An initially hidden board stretches between the split halves and widens the usable surface. The more books you add to the shelf, the wider it opens. The classical rectangular shape turns into a V-shaped outline until the shelf reaches itsdefined limit.

Mushkin HP3 10666 2x2GB Review
While two gigabytes of memory was sufficient enough to run your Windows XP based computer, two gigabytes just is not quite enough for Windows Vista. So what do you do to fix the problems with slow loading programs and having those programs constantly paging out to the swap file on your hard drive? More system memory is usually one of the solutions. With DDR2, the costs involved really make this a no-brainer. I have seen standard 4 gigabyte kits available as low as 50 bucks after rebate if you can catch a deal. More realistically, 60 dollars is about the low point on DDR2. DDR3 on the other hand is not quite that inexpensive. A nice performance 2 x 1 GB set with decent timings will run you around $150 and up. A 4GB set of performance DDR3 will still take a chunk out of your computer budget. But you have to pay to play ,the question is how fast do you want to go?
With the cost of performance DDR3 coming down as its use becomes more widespread, it was time we showed what a 4GB set of DDR3 can do. The Mushkin HP3 10666 modules are part number 995562 and includes two, two gigabyte modules with timings of 7-7-7-20 at a frequency of 1333MHz(666FSB) using just 1.7 to 1.8 volts.
Closer Look:
If you have never seen Mushkin packaging before, it comes without all the flash that some kits carry. The logo is simple and understated and rides right under your radar. The front carries the modules in plain sight with the "Get More" slogan as well as the company logo. The rear view carries the installation instructions and some troubleshooting tips, should you have a problem with the modules.
Part number 995562 is the Mushkin HP3 10666 DDR3 2x2 gigabyte set of memory. This kit is designed to run at a frequency of 1333MHz with latencies of 7-7-7-20 with a modest 1.7 to 1.8 volts to the modules. The modules use Mushkin's proprietary Frostbyte Technology heatspreaders much the same as most of the Mushkin performance lineup. The heatspreaders are blue signifying that these modules are part of the HP line up. These modules are not rated for the extreme speeds and voltages of the Ascent lineup, so the Frostbyte technology will do just fine.
The Frostbyte heatspreaders had a little movement in them so i decided to try and slide them off, just to see what was underneath the blue anodized aluminum. The modules used for this set of memory are made by Elpida and carry the part number J1108BASE -DJ-E. After trolling Elpida's website, I found the documentation on these module. They are rated for 1333MHz at 1.5v with timings of 9-9-9. The increase in voltage to 1.7-1.8 is needed to run these modules at latencies of 7-7-7 at 1333MHz.
Now that we know a little more about the modules, I think it's high time to find out what kind of performance they offer.

For making dough:
Maida or plain flour-2 cups
Sugar-1 teaspoon
Salt-a pinch
Sooji-1 tablespoon
Ghee-2 tablespoons
Mix above ingredients in a big bowl and make it into a stiff dough and leave it for half an hour.
For filling:
Almonds-1/2 cup
Sugar-3/4 cup
Cardamom powder-1 teaspoon
Transfer all the ingredients into a mixer jar and make into a powder.
Oil for deep fry
How to make:
Divide the dough into lemon sized balls and roll them into thin poories (circlular shapes). Take the kajjikayalu mould and apply some oil in it and put a poori inside it. Fill one side of the poori with one tablespoon of the filling and close the poori. Join the two edges inside with wet fingers. Now close the mould and press it. Open the mould and take out the kajjikaya carefully. Do the same with the rest of the poories and heat the oil in a frying pan. Deep fry them in batches on a low flame until they turn golden brown in colour. Allow them to cool and store them in an air tight container. They will keep for 4-5 days…

Urethritis is swelling and irritation (inflammation) of the urethra. The urethra is the tube that carries urine from the body.
Alternative Names
Urethral syndrome; NGU; Non-gonococcal urethritis
Urethritis may be caused by bacteria or a virus. The same bacteria that cause
Other causes include:
- Injury
- Sensitivity to the chemicals used in spermicides or contraceptive jellies, creams, or foams
Risks for urethritis include:
- Being a female in the reproductive years
- Being male, ages 20 - 35
- Having many sexual partners
- High-risk sexual behavior (such as anal sex without a condom)
- History of sexually transmitted diseases
In men:
Blood in the urine or semen
- Burning pain while urinating (
- Discharge from penis
- Fever (rare)
Frequent or urgent urination
- Itching, tenderness, or swelling in penis or groin area
- Pain with intercourse or ejaculation
In women:
- Abdominal pain
- Burning pain while urinating
- Fever and chills
- Frequent or urgent urination
- Pelvic pain
- Vaginal discharge
Exams and Tests
The doctor or nurse will examine you. In men, the exam will include the abdomen, bladder area, penis, and scrotum. The physical exam may show:
- Discharge from the penis
- Tender and enlarged lymph nodes in the groin area
- Tender and swollen penis
Women will have abdominal and pelvic exams. The health care provider will check for:
- Discharge from the urethra
- Tenderness of the lower abdomen
- Tenderness of the urethra
Your health care provider may look into your bladder using a tube with a camera on the end. This is called cystoscopy.
The following tests may be done:
- Complete blood count (
CBC) C-reactive protein test
- Pelvic
ultrasound(women only)
- Pregnancy test (women only)
Urinalysisand urine cultures
- Tests for
gonorrhea, chlamydia, and other sexually transmitted illnesses (STI)
The goals of treatment are to:
- Eliminate the cause of infection
- Improve symptoms
- Prevent the spread of infection
If you have an infection, you will be given antibiotics.
See also:
Chlamydia Gonorrhea
You may take pain relievers, including nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs or phenazopyridine (Pyridium), which works on the urinary tract, along with antibiotics.
People with urethritis who are being treated should avoid sex or use condoms during sex. If an infection is the cause of the inflammation, your sexual partner must also be treated.
Urethritis caused by trauma or chemical irritants is treated by avoiding the source of injury or irritation.
Urethritis that does not clear up after antibiotic treatment and lasts for at least 6 weeks is called chronic urethritis. Different antibiotics may be used to treat this problem.
Outlook (Prognosis)
With the correct diagnosis and treatment, urethritis usually clears up without any complications.
However, urethritis can lead to permanent damage to the urethra (scar tissue called
Possible Complications
Men with urethritis are at risk for the following complications:
- Bladder infection (
cystitis) Epididymitis
- Infection in the testicles (
- Prostate infection (prostatitis)
After a severe infection, the urethra may become scarred and then narrowed (
Women with urethritis are at risk for the following complications:
- Bladder infection (cystitis)
Cervicitis Pelvic inflammatory disease(PID -- an infection of the uterus lining, fallopian tubes, or ovaries)
When to Contact a Medical Professional
Call your health care provider if you have symptoms of urethritis.
Some causes of urethritis may be avoided with good personal hygiene and by practicing safer sexual behaviors such as monogamy (one sexual partner only) and using condoms.

Profile of Sinead O'Connor
Irish singer Sinead O'Connor's first album, The Lion and The Cobra was released in 1987, and its popular and critical acclaim made her an instant star of pop music. She then produced her second album in 1990, I Do Not Want What I Haven't Got, a critical success that included her hit single "Nothing Compares 2 U" (a song written by Prince). Over the course of her career, O'Connor became as well-known for her political beliefs as for her music (she once shredded a photo of Pope John Paul II on U.S. television), earning a reputation as a controversial artist or, in some cases, an inadvertent argument for self-censorship. In 2003 she announced her retirement from the music business, but she returned with the 2007 album Theology. O'Connor proved a return to form in 2011, when she made headlines for her very blunt, public appeal for a sex partner. By the end of that year she had married and divorced her fourth husband, Barry Herridge (the marriage lasted 16 days), and completed a new album, What About I Be Me And You Be You.

Glimpsed at the March of Dimes Signature Chefs Auction: Jessica Klug
Black and white is anything but boring the way Jessica Klug, 34, puts it together in her contemporary style. For the March of Dimes Signature Chefs Auction, the Howard Community College purchasing coordinator started with a black and white faux-wrap dress with brown belt from JC Penney, then added a black Belle De Jour shrug from Macy's and an amber and black bead multi-strand necklace she'd had for a while. The Pasadena resident finished her outfit with black sheers, black suede Michael Shannon flat boots from DSW, a wristlet from the Coach outlet and a black satin hard headband embellished with black braid from Ulta. It's all about accessories for her. "I always add a little bit of flair," she said. "I think of the movie 'Office Space.' [The female lead] always had to wear 'pieces of flair.' "

Lowry relishes 'midwifing' students' creative process
Veteran theater arts professor studies, teaches lamentation ritualsSchools, theaters and prisons: Marya Lowry, an associate professor of theater arts, has performed and taught in all of them. A theater and voice professor and founding member of the Actors' Shakespeare Project in Boston, where she will perform in "The Two Gentlemen of Verona" this year, Lowry is interested in equipping students with more than just stage skills and technique.
As a longtime actor with the Riverside Shakespeare Company in New York – where she worked for a decade before teaching fulltime – and a variety of showcases and regional theaters, she's been in their shoes and wants to help instill in them a sense of confidence and offer a support system.
"I was of a generation where there really wasn't very much mentoring," says Lowry, who quit college after one semester and was swept up in the upheaval of the late 1960s before returning to finish her degree at three different colleges and earn an M.F.A. at Ohio University, one semester at a time, as a single mom. "We were really finding our own way and getting whatever information we could however we could get it. I think that's one of the reasons I'm so passionate about mentoring my students."
This fall at Brandeis, she'll direct "A King of Infinite Space – Hamlet in a Nutshell," for which students will draw upon their ability to devise new work, a skill she says actors increasingly need in modern theater. Based on Shakespeare's "Hamlet," they'll create moments based on ideas and themes.
Lowry began teaching full time at Brandeis 22 years ago, drawn by the M.F.A. program's reputation, but has since pared down to part-time to better balance teaching with her own stage work and raising a family in Newton, Mass., where she lives with her husband, Adjunct Associate Professor of Theater Arts Bob Walsh. But she still gets the panicked midnight calls from alumni looking for reassurance, and relishes the deep, personal relationships she builds with her students.
BrandeisNOW: How did you first become interested in theater?
Lowry: I first discovered theater my first semester of college. There wasn't really much that was interesting to me at that point in my life. I didn't know what I wanted to do, I just knew you had to go to college. I started at a school called Daemen College in Buffalo, N.Y. I fell into the theater. The first production I did was "Trojan Women." I've been haunted by the Greeks ever since. There's no getting away.
What interests you about teaching?
I teach voice and acting so the nature of what I teach is human to human. It's deeply personal contact. The difference between that and my professional work is that I think of teaching as midwifing someone else's creative process and I love that.
I feel like the theater department and the university in general has given me a lot of room to grow. It is one reason why people who still practice their artistry also teach. Working with students and exploring new things and having to work with them to deepen their work and develop their work is constantly challenging to me. Sometimes I see an actor do something in my class and I think "Oh, I wish I could do that." Or I'll see an actor working on a role that I have played and I'll think "I never would have thought of that" and that's thrilling.
Do you often hear from students after they've graduated?
I got two emails in the middle of the DNC convention saying "Marya, I can't stop thinking about you as I'm listening to all these speeches" because, of course, in the studying of Shakespeare, we do a lot of studying about rhetorical skills and we also look at great speeches in the voice class.
Sometimes people just call and they just need some affirmation about where they are in their life. I just had a conversation with a student who – it's been 20 years – on the phone because she's involved in a certain kind of theater that I'm not involved and so I called her for a little advice. She's been calling me for 20 years, so we flipped the coin in that one. They filter in and out.
Some want to go into teaching careers. I help them put their CVs together, because putting a CV together for someone who is in the performing arts and then is going to be teaching in the performing arts – it's a very different animal.
What kind of research do you do?
My research for the last 10 or so years in terms of the voice work has been on what I call ecstatic voice and lamentation. I started doing research in 1990 on lamentation rituals from ancient day to modern times around the globe. I've been developing work on how one incorporates that extended voice work into actor training. So I teach workshops on the outside on ecstatic voice and lamentation.
People have been lamenting their sorrows and their deportations from as long as we've been keeping track of history. We have examples of lamentations in Homer, in the Greek plays, in Shakespeare, all the way… As I started doing my research, there's a lot written on it, lamentation rituals, how to bury the dead well. But there's very little oral… how do we do it now, in a play, in our lives. We actually work on those sounds that people incorporate in lamentation.
How did you research those sounds?
I started by reading. I used a third-year M.F.A. class here as my guinea pigs and we explored doing what people were talking about in books. We took quite a bit of one semester in their third year where they have a lot of training and they are very strong vocally and we explored and played and experimented with how to do it. In the process, of course, we were also stumbling on little examples. I was giving a workshop in Wales and I found this amazing treasure trove of ethnomusicology from around the world. I would listen to records and recordings and music from other cultures until I could begin to cull certain sounds that were repeated no matter what the culture was.
You work with incarcerated youth and women through the Actors Shakespeare Project. Do you see a connection between that and your professional life?
It's an extension of what I do here but on a much different level. I'm always compelled by those who don't get the same breaks the rest of us got. I know how valuable it is to have someone sit with you and hear your story and not try to judge you or fix you, but just be with you. It's really powerful for me to see something that for me started out as an artistic adventure become so life changing for young people.

Banks settle W.Va. credit card protection suit
CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) — Three banking companies have settled a lawsuit that alleged they used deceptive or misleading tactics to sell credit card payment plans to customers.
The lawsuit alleged that the companies' practices violated West Virginia's consumer protection laws. The attorney general's office filed the lawsuit in 2011.
Attorney General Patrick Morrisey announced the settlement with holding company United National Corp. and subsidiaries First Premier Bank and First Premier Bankcard on Tuesday. He says the companies agreed to pay a total $112,500 to the state.

Since Braxton Miller's starting position as Ohio State quarterback was challenged against Northwestern — the offense was stagnant and Miller struggled that night — he has played his best football at quarterback for the Buckeyes.
Ever since Kenny Guiton warmed up behind the Ohio State bench in Evanston, Ill., four weeks ago, Braxton Miller never looked back.
He didn't have to look over his shoulder.
He could feel Guiton breathing down his neck.
Since Miller's starting position was challenged against Northwestern — the offense was stagnant and Miller struggled that night — he has played his best football at quarterback for the Buckeyes.
So much so that Miller could breathe life back into a Heisman Trophy campaign. While that's a longshot, Miller's playing his team into the national title picture isn't.
In his last two games, Miller has completed 40 of 51 passes for 474 yards and five touchdowns. He has gained 170 yards on 29 carries and scored two touchdowns as well.
"I don't think it's a coincidence," head coach Urban Meyer said of Miller blossoming since the coaches were on the verge of making a change.
"I think he knows, and I've told him ... if our center doesn't play well, we're going to make a change. He knows that. He's not used to being second fiddle. I love him to death. He's like a son to me. We get along great. But he knows I have a job to do, and that's to make sure the best players are on the field.
"The guy behind him happens to be a very good player, very good leader."
Miller's passing ability is remarkably better than it was a year ago. The junior is completing 70.6 percent of his passes (89 of 126). He has 11 touchdowns and just two interceptions.
And Meyer believes there is still room for improvement.
For example, against Penn State, Meyer pointed to four plays where he showed Miller on film the quarterback panicked under pressure and lost sight of his check-down option.
"He cowboyed it a few times," Meyer said. "He needs to know where his check down is. He panicked in the pocket three or four times ... that's a problem. That's not good quarterback play."
This is the point in the season, however, where a demanding Meyer becomes more demanding. He believes his offense, which produced 686 yards in the Penn State win, can play even better.
They head to Purdue on Saturday to play the struggling Boilermakers. Meyer, again, wants to see improvement.
He isn't just talking about quarterbacks now.
"When you recruit fairly well, they know there's a guy right behind you," Meyer said. "If you want to go take a few plays off, there will be someone else in there. That's when you start getting a good program. (Braxton) knows the guy behind — the friggin' stadium is calling (Guiton's) name. He better be pretty good."
Ohio State's offense is playing at such a high caliber and scoring so many points, though, the offensive coaches feel like there isn't a thing unavailable to them to call on game day. The Buckeyes are fifth in the country at 47.3 points a game.
What Meyer has created in two seasons is a competitive atmosphere in the locker room. When Carlos Hyde found himself dodging legal problems from an altercation in a nightclub, Meyer didn't hesitate to sit him for three games, although no charges were filed.
That's easier to do with Jordan Hall and freshman Dontre Wilson good enough to start for the Buckeyes. Now Hyde is playing with a sense of urgency.
Meyer essentially said his receivers were the laughingstock of the offense a year ago. Now?
They're a strength.
None of that, including Miller's development, happens without internal competition.
"Fundamentally, he's a much better player than he was a year ago, and knowledge of the offense (has improved)," Meyer said of Miller. "Those are two things I see every day. The thing we can't do, and I challenge our coaches and myself all the time, we can't get bored and create new plays because you're bored with the old ones. The old ones work fine, just do it over and over."

Here's Part II of Best for Babes' exclusive interview with our Champ for Moms Gabby Reece, fitness expert, author, and wise-mom-philosopher, on exercise for nursing Babes! To win a hand signed copy of Gabby's inspiring new book, My Foot is Too Big for the Glass Slipper, read on! For Part I of this interview, click here.
Gabby is cheering on the incredible participants of Team We've Got Your Back, Babe! – – the first Nationwide Personal Fitness Challenge to back breastfeeding co-hosted by Best for Babes and Breastfeeding USA. 30 teams (and growing!) across the nation are sweating for the love of moms and babies and showing America that breastfeeding — the foundation of health — is a cause for everyone — dads, uncles, cousins, grandparents, siblings, friends –to get behind. There's still time to double-down on saving boobs and lives this fall! Join Team WGYBB through October 31 and help us stake the protection under our noses and the breastfeeding cause!
BFB: You mentioned that you got back to working out slowly but soon after you had Reece and Brody. How did you deal with the fatigue?
GABBY: An older gentleman I know who is taking care of a wife with Alzheimer's once said to me that you learn that life is about acceptance, and yielding to the process. After I had my kids, I was much more fatigued in my whole being, the way you might feel when you are 8 months pregnant! You're running on less sleep. You're nursing. There's a lot going on! So I learned to ride it out and not to force myself to go beyond my means, or to beat myself up about it, "what's wrong with me? I could do this before?" Instead, I reminded myself, "you'll get there again, it's just you're not there right now!"
BFB: After you have a baby, your whole body has changed. Your center of gravity has changed. And when your milk comes in, it changes again! How do you suggest moms make adjustments in their workout plans for that?
GABBY: You are top heavy when you are breastfeeding and your balance can be off kilter. So the first thing is to be extra aware that your center of gravity is different and keep your proprioceptors alert and awake. You don't want to get clumsy, you're already tired! If you are doing one-legged mini drills — like lunges– that don't require any weights, aim to keep your scapula (shoulders) back and down; when you are nursing and holding a baby, you spend a lot of time hunched over. It's all about understanding and accepting that you are in a temporary new body and learning how to be efficient and effective in it!
BFB: What exercises and for how much time per day would you recommend a new/nursing mom start out with to begin her climb back to being fit?
GABBY: Knowing who you are and what you need so you can maximize even just 20 minutes a day is what's really important. I always say that if you can get your hands on a foam roller and roll your whole body to try to keep yourself in balance, that may be better than going to bang a bunch of iron! But if a woman knows that what she needs is going for a quick little walk or run because that is her therapy, then do that. No matter what you choose, it's about moving in ways that feel good to you, and that will be beneficial for you.
BFB: What other exercises are particularly good for a breastfeeding mom's body?
GABBY: I really encourage women to get into other postures besides sitting and holding their baby because it makes your hip flexors tight, which makes your back tight, and so on. The more I read about sitting, the more I learn about how bad it is for your body. A really good stretch you can do with your baby lying on the floor next to you to help alleviate that tightness, is the Psoas stretch. To do it, kneel down on one knee and extend the other leg on the floor behind you. Lean into the bent leg and hold that stretch for 2-4 minutes on each side. You will stretch that whole front line of your body which gets really tight from sitting, and still be freely interacting with your baby. Another good one for nursing moms is to lay back on a stability ball with your knees bent and your feet anchored to the floor. If you feel secure enough you can lay your baby on your stomach at the same time. But do this on a carpet surface, or someplace where it's real sticky, so the ball is not rolling. This will really open your spine and build core strength. Do it for 5 minutes a couple of times per day. [BFB notes: If you are not yet stable enough to have your baby on your belly, then make that core work your goal!]
BFB: Did you find that you needed to plan breastfeeding around your workouts?
GABBY: I was never a big scheduler. Especially with a younger baby – the first 4-5 months –I was very much of the belief that when they need to nurse I should be there. However, I did generally nurse right before a workout. [BFB notes: Most women find that it is more comfortable to empty their breasts before a workout and it can help you avoid clogged ducts which occur from tight-fitting (sports) bras.] And of course, if I was gone for more than an hour, they would always want to nurse right away when I came back! A schedule, however, might work well for a mom who works out of the home or is training for a race. But for me, because of the nature of my job, where I can be at home, or take my kid on the road, I didn't have a schedule.
BFB: What is your top tip for a nursing mom trying to establish a workout routine?
GABBY: That you don't have feel guilty on the days that you don't enjoy it! You need to put yourself in the most positive environment when you have a new child, and when you're trying to nurse. What that means is, no friends that don't support the mission. No family members that don't support the mission. No one's allowed to come into your zone that doesn't support you, because you're trying to support the baby!
BFB: We love that. We have always said that the best gift for a new mom is a gravy train of help from family and friends for things other than feeding the baby, like doing laundry, dishes, making dinner, or watching the older siblings.
GABBY: You know my husband used to joke with me as he was leaving to go surfing, and say "I'd be worthy if I could give milk!" But the fact is, they don't! So the next question is what do I want him to do that would be helpful to me? What do I need from anyone around me that will be supportive of me accomplishing my mission? I think if you know how to manage it, and ask for help, people don't feel alienated and are more than happy to do it.

Tackling Tax Fraud And Evasion In Europe
On the eve of the EU Summit, where minds will be focussed on finding the right mix of governance, solidarity and growth to exit this crisis, today's Communication could not be more timely.
It sets out concrete measures to tackle the immense problem of fraud and evasion in the EU, which is estimated at around €1 trillion a year.
In the spirit of fiscal union, these measures would ensure greater tax coordination, to better address a shared challenge.
In the spirit of fiscal consolidation, they can deliver vast revenues if effectively applied.
And in the spirit of growth, they would give Member States more leeway to create job-friendly tax systems and to invest in growth-promoting measures.
Mutual Interest
Tax evasion is not a problem that any Member State can tackle alone. Fraud and evasion are pervasive, and they thrive on national mismatches and insular thinking.
Therefore, using our strength as a Union is the best weapon that we have to fight these activities and to reclaim enormous sums of public money for honest EU citizens.
For this, there must be more trust, more solidarity and more coordination at EU level.
By trust I mean opening up and sharing more information. The automatic exchange of information between Member States has already proven to be a success where it is applied.
We should explore how it can be extended and also how information can be made more readily usable.
An EU tax identification number would be practical in this regard. Member States should also be prepared to go the extra mile in terms of transparency, for example by granting each other access to their national databases when relevant.
By solidarity, I mean ensuring that tax measures introduced at home don't undermine your neighbours.
Fair tax competition is one of the pillars of good governance in Europe, and this must be respected.
In implementing national tax reforms, Member States should be mindful of the impact on their EU partners, and refrain from measures that unfairly steal revenues.
Meanwhile, coordination entails working more closely together, to foil the tax evaders. Member States should make better use of the administrative cooperation tools in place at EU level. The Commission is also working on the extension of Eurofisc and the development of a quick reaction mechanism for VAT fraud, to facilitate a swifter crack-down on tax evasion schemes.
Greater coordination must also be applied in our relations with non-EU countries, and in dealing with tax havens. The Commission will outline, before the end of the year, how we can use our collective muscle to target those who shield EU tax evaders and encourage good governance internationally.
This common approach to fighting tax evasion and fraud needs to be backed up with greater governance and stronger instruments.
First and foremost, Member States must put their own houses in order. Poor administration and weak enforcement mechanisms undermine all efforts to combat fraud and evasion.
The Commission has recommended that 10 Member States in particular, and the eurozone as a whole, take steps to improve their tax collection capacities. We will closely monitor the follow-up and stand ready to provide technical assistance to any Member State that needs it.
At EU level, the most pressing priority is to agree on the revised Savings Tax Directive, and also on the mandates to negotiate stronger savings agreements with 5 neighbouring countries.
Once again, I urge all the Council to move quickly towards consensus on these files. Blocking agreement is akin to blocking much needed revenue for all the other Member States.
Finally, we need to ensure that fraudsters and evaders have no place to hide within the EU.
They must not be able to play with the differences between national legal systems in order to avoid prosecution. Therefore, I believe that minimum EU sanctions for fraud and evasion could be useful, to ensure sufficient deterrence against these activities.
The Commission intends to explore this idea further.
As a last point, I would like to say a few words on the role of businesses for fair and efficient tax systems.
Today's Communication outlines ways in which tax compliance can made easier for businesses in the EU, because I do appreciate the administrative burdens that companies – especially SMEs – often face.
Beyond this, however, there is a need to address the "pay as little as you can" attitude of some companies. Paying taxes may not be pleasant, but it is what holds our society together.
Why should teachers, nurses and shop-keepers carry a heavier tax burden just because large companies can employ clever tax planners to avoid paying their share?
The fight against evasion and fraud is also a way to create a level playing field for honest businesses who will no longer be in unfair competition with evaders.
Today's Communication suggests a taxpayers' charter, as part of the Social Responsibility initiative. And before the end of the year I will propose measures to tackle aggressive tax planning in the EU.
To conclude, there is no doubt that the political will to enhance the fight against tax evasion is there.
We have heard it from EU leaders at the March Council, and we have heard it from the Parliament. Now it is time to translate that will into action. I therefore look forward to strong support from all sides in pushing ahead with the measures I have outlined today.

After receiving a BA from Northern Iowa in psychology and PhD from the University of Washington in biopsychology (specifically, animal learning and motivation), I engaged in a post doctoral fellowship in behavioral ecology at the University of Toronto, St. George Campus, before coming to St. Lawrence. Over the years, introductory psychology, research methods, and learning theory have developed into my teaching specialties, but more recently, I've been engaged by the psychology of happiness and offer seminars on that topic. My early theoretical interests pursued the topics of animal learning and motivation, and then, human decision making. More recently, I have moved along a path which connects program evaluation in liberal education to both scientific and self evaluation, through a scale-independent model of self-regulation. That's about all I think about any more when I'm not enjoying my family's hobby farm out by Waddington or watching college basketball on TV. The farm provides wetland and riparian habitats for my wife, Susan, and me, two dogs, two cats, two horses, and innumerable wildlife. We would like to bequeath the farm and its old stone farmhouse to an organization like the Audubon society who might be able to preserve the flora, fauna, and habitat for posterity.

How beautiful! Do you display these each year as part of your Christmas decorating??

Hi Diana. No I don't, or at least I haven't up until now. I recently "found" them as I've been working my way through a box of old letters from Poland. Many of the Christmas cards were tucked inside of letters. What a good idea though.

Your cards are beautiful, and the third is so vibrant. Isn't it wonderful that our parents, or grandparents thought to save these? In my family, nobody wanted my grandfather's hand made cards, only me!

I love Christmas cards in foreign languages. Diana has a good idea - these might look lovely in a frame or display case of some sort.

This is the name under which we group all the products and services that reduce your fuel consumption and can thus contribute to reducing environmental impact. Through vehicle technology, making our trucks especially efficient. And through seminars, training courses and advice with a positive effect on your balance sheet and on the environment. We give our all for such efficiency and sustainability.

Rule #1 - Be Patient - Rule #2 - Don't ask when, if you don't contribute - Rule #3 - You have coding skills - LinuxMCE's small brother is available: http://www.agocontrol.com
you should not add the devices with the aeon stick button but with an inclusion controller. I'm not sure if the HA07/09 can do this but all recently made portable controllers support inclusion controller mode. Use the "Add node" in the web admin to add the controller. You need to consult your controllers manual to identify the key press/sequence needed on the HA07/09 to get it included as inclusion controller. Then add your devices with the HA07/09.
you should reset every device with a controller before including it again.

Hello all,
I'm looking for energy audit training centers in the Boston, MA area. Can anyone make any recommendations ?
Views: 192
BPI.org has a list of bpi trainers in the Boston area. You can check with these places to see if they have a course in auditing. You can join linkedin and then the resnet group and ask for training in the Boston area. Also, if you need IR training go to the Snell group and see when they offer training in the area.
Check community colleges to see if they have green collar auditing training.
Hi Paul,
Do you work with that organization? I tried to get a hold of the coordinator but it looks like she is on mat leave. I'm going to be in the Boston area for a few days in March and was looking to visit a few training centers, potentially give free training materials and do Retrotec equipment introductions for those interested.
They definitely are still in business. I teach their BPI courses for them. Silvie, you should conact Megan Amsler email@example.com I'm sure she would love to hear from you.

I don't want this to be a chance for you to tell me what is wrong with the theocratic abscess burrowed; the thorn in your side or the vacant imperfection imposed upon the resident scapegoat. I care not to afford you the opportunity to lick your wounds in my sight or to appease the cultural norms subscribed.
Without the fear on the other side of the fence nor the ruckus in the alley way I want you to tell me what the benefit of an atheist lifestyle is had the social and political majority not absolved you and the necessary protestation of that artificial insemination had manifested itself in hindsight.
In other words, had there been no myth where would you see yourself rather than where would you see yourself in light of it.

Yes, we are - you and I have been through this before --
That's debatable and depends on your definition of certain words
Well we are all born atheists similar to being born gay or hetero.
Is not correct.
Totally different, one is culture and the other is biology.
I'm not sure which premise you're saying, "not correct" to, Greg, that we are born atheists, or the assertion that the two conditions are similar - I suspect the latter, as it should be obvious that we are born without a belief in ANYthing. You might even call us, a-omniests --
Yes, can you make more effort in writing them please?
Spewing water through the nose is almost always a good thing.
Hot coffee does a better job of clearing out the sinuses, but avoiding one's keyboard in the process is certainly preferable.
Mixed metaphor.
Further, babies are born without the capacity of belief, they are born with undeveloped brains.
