The Melges 20 — In A League Of Its Own
27 January 2017
ZENDA, Wisc. (Jan. 27, 2017) - As sailors thirst for higher levels of competition, sportboat industry leader Melges Performance Sailboats has answered the call with an all-encompassing, worldwide racing competition — the Melges 20 World League.
With more than 100 teams expected to participate for ultimate Melges 20 supremacy, this new competition includes North American, European and Asia/Pacific Divisions, culminating at the 2017 World Championship in Newport, RI on October 2-7 hosted by the New York Yacht Club.
Using point totals accumulated from racing at sanctioned events throughout the season in both overall and Corinthian standings, only time will tell which region will claim superiority, and who will be crowned the very first Melges 20 World League Champion.
With a record number of participants at the 2016 Worlds, the Melges 20 continues to assert itself as a premier one-design Class.
"The goal of the Melges World League is to unite teams around the globe and provide another layer of world-class competition for Melges sailors," said Harry Melges, CEO of Melges Performance Sailboats. "The new format organizes regattas under one single circuit with aligned scoring and management, giving boat owners confidence that they will have the best racing experience at each regatta in the Melges 20 Class."
North American Class Manager, Sam Rogers is excited about the new Melges 20 World League: "Melges 20 owners are accustomed to top-flight, competitive events and the World League represents that and more. It will be very exciting for teams to participate, especially with another prestigious title on the line. We have some big goals for the Melges 20 World League going forward."
The Melges 20 World League kicks off on February 3-5 at one of the greatest sailing destinations around the globe — Biscayne Bay for round two of the 2016/17 Miami Winter Series. Teams attending will definitely get a jump start on the standings, but as the summer heats up, the European and Asian Divisions will look to close the gap.

With Bernards-based business communications firm Avaya announcing it plans to lay off workers and consolidate services as a strategy to cut costs, a New Jersey analyst of initial public offerings said the company is hurting its chances to court potential investors if it moves on a previously announced effort to make its stock public.
"Cost-cutting measures naturally connote a company is in trouble, whether it actually is or not. Potential investors start asking, 'Is the company losing money? If they don't do cutbacks, will they be out of business or bankrupt?' " said David Menlow, president of Green Brook-based IPO Financial Network. "Sometimes, the reason for cutbacks is because a company has sold off divisions and is moving into other areas that make sense because its products or services have changed. But with growth potential in the communications industry not as prominent right now, for Avaya, it seems like the general attitude is, 'I can't believe they're still in business.' "
But an Avaya spokeswoman said the company has been implementing measures aimed at growing its divisions alongside its cost-cutting tactics, noting it acquired Tel Aviv-based videoconferencing services provider Radvision Ltd. on June 5.
Avaya "is positioned for growth, with strong offerings in the growth areas of enterprise mobility, video collaboration and the midmarket segment," spokeswoman Marijke Shugrue said. The cuts and acquisition "are part of our corporate strategic plan to pursue profitable growth."
According to a Sept. 24 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, Avaya has disclosed to investors it will downsize as a way to reduce costs between $135 million and $235 million during its fiscal 2013 — continuing the $105 million in cost cuts it already enacted on June 30, which end Sept. 30. Though it did not specify where the consolidation will take place, the company said it expects to produce pretax profit between $1 billion and $1.1 billion for fiscal 2013 as a result of it.
Fran Caulfield, research director of Mountain Lakes-based Insight Research Corp., said the company's plan is "certainly not positive," and since other businesses on the equipment side of New Jersey's telecommunications industry "continue to contract in terms of employment and resources and investment," Avaya's announcement signals "the company can't grow its revenue, so it's cutting costs to improve its bottom line."
"Avaya right now is in a challenging business. The services side of the industry is doing OK with modest growth, but the equipment side is not — even though it supplies products to services companies, like AT&T," Caulfield said. "Since companies always try to make their financials as strong as possible before they go public, this might be a last-ditch effort to do it."
Avaya's owners, private equity firms Silver Lake Partners and TPG Capital, registered for an IPO in June 2011, but the company still has yet to go public.
Shugrue said the company is unable to comment on the IPO.

To keep the player engaged, certain missions are signaled out with an "!". These story driven levels move the central campaign along and provide some cinematic cutscenes. Unfortunately, the cutscenes suffer from horrendous voice acting and sloppy dialogue. The voice actors have terrible cliché accents and spout cornball phrases. While these scenes do present an opportunity for character development, the potential is wasted. The characters are mainly concerned with either victory, nationality or money, and little else.
Even in the graphical department Bladestorm is a mixed bag. Omega Force has done a commendable job with the amount of troops rendered on the screen, but once the camera swoops in to show the detail you'll realize there's not much there. The character models are decent, but they leave much to be desired. Things can get hectic with hundreds of characters on screen and a little slowdown is the inevitable result. There is an option to install a cache file on the system which dramatically reduces the load times and number of slowdowns.
The gameplay quickly becomes a grind as missions revolve around capturing bases over and over again. Occasionally an extra contract is thrown in - such as escort mission - but this is the kind of variety you'll want to skip. This formula is rinsed and repeated so you can expect to get somewhere around 60 hours out of Bladestorm. The reason the word "around" is used is because the game could not be finished. There is a bug in a mission near the end of the game the might stop some players dead in their tracks. Whether it is isolated to the Xbox 360 or PlayStation 3 version is uncertain.
It is really hard to recommend this title, especially considering the next-gen price tag. The game is marred by technical problems and, if anything, is an exercise in mediocrity. Ambitious on so many fronts, Bladestorm ultimately never finds a satisfying home. Take heed: this blade is dull.

HAMPTON ROADS is the channel through which the waters of the converging James, Nansemond, and Elizabeth Rivers flow into Chesapeake Bay. This four mile roadstead, 40 feet deep and navigable throughout the year, is bounded on the north by the shore line from Newport News to Old Point Comfort, on the east by the Rip Raps and Willoughby Spit, on the south by Willoughby Bay and Sewall Point, and on the west by a line from Newport News to Sewall Point. Because of its central location on the Atlantic seaboard and its many railroad facilities, Hampton Roads is one of the most important harbors in the country and the east coast rendezvous of the United States navy. There is a combined water frontage of about 50 miles, of which Some 22 miles have been improved or developed.
Spacious Hampton Roads seems never crowded. The pattern of boats on its ample surface changes as constantly as the color of the water, the spots of oily bilge, the seaweed, and the circling gulls. Freighters parade in and out the Capes, followed by a black plume of smoke. Some set their course to or from the upper Chesapeake Bay, but most steam straight in or out from the open sea. Trim steam ferries shuttle back and forth, and tugs tow barges filled with freight cars, lumber, or brick. Scattered about are tramp steamers, anchored and swinging in the tide or nosing toward the black skeletons of coal piers. Warships and cruisers, gray and lean against the horizon, thread their way toward dry docks. Sporadically, government boats tow large red targets into the glittering distance and hurriedly move away as Fort guns boom in target practice. Occasionally, the Virginia pilot boat that lies in wait for incoming vessels off the Capes weighs anchor and comes in for supplies and fuel. Trawlers and oyster boats chug toward hidden fishing banks, while elegant yachts and cabin cruisers glide toward less trammeled waters. Along the shore bob dories, bateaux, and rowboats, filled with fishermen. At dusk the white.painted Bay and coastwise passenger steamers sidle up to Old Point's dock, then steam away into the gathering darkness. The lights of Buckroe Beach, the Fort, and Newport News blink at those of Ocean View, the Naval Base, and feeble farmhouse lights to the west. Precise and intermittent gleams from lighthouses cut arcs across the water, and channels are marked by swaying light buoys and doleful bell buoys. Bridges arch across river mouths, their concrete length festooned with yellow lights broken at the draw by green and red.
Newport News, at the mouth of the James, and Norfolk and Portsmouth, along the Elizabeth River and its several branches, with their harbors, anchorage, customs, and other facilities, constitute the Port of Hampton Roads. Federal services and regulations of port activity consist of quarantine, under the Public Health and Customs services, Treasury Department; Immigration Service, under the Department of Labor; and the improvement of rivers, harbors, and other waterways under direction of the Secretary of War and the Chief of Engineers of the United States Army. Local jurisdiction over the port is vested in the State Port Authority of Virginia, created in 1926, which is charged with development of the port and promotion of its commercial and maritime interests. It regulates such services as fire protection, pilotage, dockage, towage, and handling of cargoes.
The total tonnage of water.borne commerce handled through the port in 1938 was 24,083,019 of which 826,739 tons were imports and 1,992,564 were exports. Wood pulp and ore were the largest items of import; coal and scrap iron the largest items of export, the latter reflecting the current trend toward international rearmament. Petroleum products, sugar, gypsum, and paper manufactures were other important items of import. Exports include grain, tobacco and tobacco products, lumber and logs, cotton and textiles.
The Norfolk Navy Yard, on the Portsmouth side, and the United States Naval Operating Base in Norfolk consume a great volume of coal and have created many industries deriving power from the same source. These government properties themselves, worth about $50,000,000, add to the port's commercial stature. Within Norfolk are the United States Public Health Service Hospital, a branch of the United States Hydrographic Office, the Navy's principal fuel reserve depot, a naval air station, a submarine base, and the St.Helena Reservation, now used as a naval air base.
From 1607, when Sir Christopher Newport brought his band of pioneers to effect the first permanent English settlement in America, throughout the Colonial period, Hampton Roads was a point of entry to the seat of government in Virginia. Ships bringing other settlers and supplies sailed through its broad waters into the James. Later it was the hunting place of pirates and hostile British ships, and, during the War between the States, the scene of important naval conflicts.
On June 22, 1807, occurred a naval engagement rising from the presence of four alleged British deserters on the American vessel, Chesapeake. The British frigate Leopard pursued the Chesapeake through the Capes, then fired a broadside into the American vessel, which surrendered without firing a shot. The Chesapeake was boarded and the deserters were taken. Commodore James Barron (1769.1851), commander of the Chesapeake, was afterwards court.martialed 'for neglecting in the probability of an engagement, to clear his ship for battle,' and deprived of rank and pay for five years. On his return to duty, he was refused an active command through the influence of Commodore Stephen Decatur,Jr. This resulted in a duel between Barron and Decatur in 1820, and Decatur was killed. Barron was later commandant of the Gosport Navy Yard in Portsmouth.
On the afternoon of March 8, 1862, occurred the battle that changed naval warfare. The Virginia, formerly the Merrimac, a wooden ship which had been sunk, raised by the Confederates, and converted into an ironclad, attacked the Federal fleet, which was armed with 204 guns and aided by land batteries. By six o'clock the Virginia had sunk the Cumberland, burned the Congress, driven the Minnesota ashore, and compelled the St. Lawrence and the Roanoke to seek shelter under the guns of Fort Monroe. On March 9 the Virginia encountered the Monitor, an ironclad more heavily armored and more efficient by reason of her light draught and revolving gun turret. For four hours the two ironclads battered each other, until at last a shell from the Virginia exploded on the eyeslit of the Monitor's pilot house, blinding her commander, Captain John L. Worden. 'Tactically,' said R.S.Henry in The Story of the Confederacy, 'it was a drawn fight, in its results a victory for the Monitor.'
FORT WOOL, mid-channel on the ferry course, is on a man-made island, constructed of rocks sunk on a shoal called Rip Raps from the rippling of the water. Begun after 1830 and called Fort Calhoun, the fortification was not complete when war broke out in 1861. Hurriedly mounted guns, however, aided in silencing Confederate batteries on Sewall Point and Willoughby Spit on May 9, 1862, when Union forces crossed these waters to take Norfolk. The fort was renamed for General John E. Wool, Union commander of the department of Virginia. During the World War defense nets were spread from its foundations to trap submarines.

"The fundamental building blocks of all computing devices could be about to undergo a dramatic change that would allow faster, more efficient machines. Researchers at computer firm Hewlett Packard have shown off working devices built using memristors - often described as electronics' missing link. These tiny devices were proposed 40 years ago but only fabricated in 2008. HP says it has now shown that they can be used to crunch data, meaning they could be used to build advanced chips."

Expelled features anti-Semitic anti-Darwinist
John Lynch has discovered an unintentional irony in "Expelled." While the movie tries to argue that Darwinism led to Hitler, one of the anti-Darwinists interviewed in the film, Maciej Giertych, also happens to be an old-fashioned anti-Semite who thinks that Jews intentionally create ghettos to live in, are unethical swindlers who do not have any moral respect for the law, and who move to rich countries in order to exploit them. One commenter points out that Giertych has also praised Spain's fascist leader Francisco Franco (who is still dead). Another observes that Giertych is, in at least a small way, a Holocaust denier, denying that gentile Poles carried out the Jedwabne pogrom of 1941.
Giertych has also been published by Answers in Genesis' Creation magazine, in 1995, and is a signatory to the Discovery Institute's "A Scientific Dissent from Darwinism" statement.
Clearly, racism does not require a belief in evolution.

Three years ago, I wrote here about the cookbook Roald Dahl's Revolting Recipes. Filled with recipes and illustrations of the foods named in Dahl's books, some dishes are so odd and gross that they may suitable for a Halloween party table. Revolting Recipes is not intended to be a Halloween cookbook; however, I recently found a relatively new book in our collection that fits the bill perfectly.
Ghoulish Goodies is called a frightful cookbook, and rightly so! Cookbook author Sharon Bowers creates spooky and whimsical recipes for Halloween get togethers, whether a party with finger foods (pun intended) or a sit down meal.
The recipes are imaginative and not difficult to make. Plus, as the color photos indicate, the finished products look darn cool! How about bringing Monster Eyeballs, Chocolate Mice and Ladies' Fingers (not lady fingers!) to the table, or cupcakes resembling the space aliens from The Simpsons, a cake modeled on Edvard Munch's The Scream or a Jack O'Lantern? Maybe Eyeball Meatloaf with a side of Orange Rice or Ghostly Mashed Potatoes is a tamer menu for you! There are even a few recipes for using leftover candy. Bowers also provides practical advice on working with ingredients, party planning and little Halloween history.
Though part of our children's collection, Ghoulish Goodies is probably intended for adult cooks, so the young chef will require adult supervision; pre-teens and teens with some kitchen experience should be okay with even the more challenging dishes.
Between these two books, you'll find foods for your Halloween party that will delight and fright your guests!
Ghoulish Goodies and Roald Dahl's Revolting Recipes are available at CCLS libraries. Click the titles above for availability, or ask a librarian at your nearest branch.
Other Halloween cookbook books are available at CCLS. Click here to see available titles in the PINES catalog.

Kay Doyle is retiring after a 32-year career at UMass Lowell.
Prof. Kay Doyle's passion for the success of her students has never wavered, even after 32 years of teaching. And now, true to form, she has turned her retirement celebration into an opportunity to support students by giving the gift of education.
Doyle's celebration on May 9 attracted more than 130 colleagues, friends and family members who recognized Doyle's legacy as a pioneer, scientist and teacher. The event raised $20,000 for the new Kay Doyle Endowed Scholarship Fund – $10,000 was raised from tickets sales and $10,000 from a University match. The goal is to raise $25,000.
"You are a pioneer in your field," said Executive Vice Chancellor Jacqueline Moloney, in remarks at the event. "This scholarship is a testament to all that you've accomplished – you are a role model for students and for all of us. You work tirelessly in the local community helping others and on the national level creating high standards for the profession of medical laboratory scientists."
Knowing that many students put themselves through school and are first-generation college students, Doyle – who received master's and Ph.D. degrees at the University in 1977 and 1986, respectively – was always driven to help them succeed.
"I think of UMass Lowell as the 'American Dream University,'" said Doyle, professor and program director of the Clinical Laboratory and Nutritional Sciences Department. "I am very honored to have this scholarship in my name. We have many deserving students. I know firsthand the effect that a first-class education can have on a life, on a family."
Doyle has dedicated her career to creating the best medical laboratory science program in the country. As director of the program, she has continuously garnered support from 18 medical laboratories to provide rotations for students. She also led the accreditation of the program in 2010, receiving a perfect score from the National Accrediting Agency for Clinical Laboratory Sciences.
"Kay is a medical science leader," said Shortie McKinney, dean of the School of Health and Environment. "She has raised the bar again and again, never settling for second best. Because of her leadership and drive, our program will maintain its high-quality standing."
Doyle expressed her appreciation to everyone who has supported her over her long career at the University.
She said: "I will never forget my time here and I will never forget you. Thank you for making this a great career and a great life."
Influence at UMass Lowell and Beyond
As a scientist and global leader within the American Society for Clinical Pathology (ASCP), Doyle participates in the certification of medical laboratory professionals in this country and extends standards for laboratory medicine across the world.
The ASCP is the oldest, largest and most influential professional organization in laboratory medicine in the United States. Doyle has been part of an international effort to extend the ASPC's standards of excellence for laboratory medicine to South Korea, Panama, Philippines, Hong Kong, Japan and Guyana, with many more to come.
Doyle has served on the board of the Greater Lowell Community Foundation for more than a decade. Her leadership helped the Foundation's assets grow from zero to about $20 million, with about 200 community endowments in its portfolio. Through its grant programs, more than $3.5 million has been distributed to nonprofit organizations since 1997. She has won many awards over the years, including the 2009 UMass President's Public Service award, which honors faculty members who have provided exemplary public service to the Commonwealth.
Both Doyle and her husband received undergraduate degrees at UMass Amherst, as did their two daughters.

A TeePee and a Sore Knee
Mets vs Rockies
Weather: 71 degrees, cloudy.
Wind: 9 mph, Out to CF.
T: 2:35 (:50 delay) for rain and hail
Att: 31,007.
Back at Coors after a not so great road trip.
The sky was ugly but it was warm. I'll take warm anytime. Batting practice was better than usual for me today and I snagged three ground rule doubles. The first one I'm pretty sure was from Chris Iannetta and as it bounced into the first row I barehanded it.
The second bounced over Robert and Geoff"s head and I had a better spot in the tunnel which put me there first.
The third was a really nice catch off the bounce. All three were given away.
Today I discovered a "Purple Margarita"
It's not often I drink something purple but I'll admit it was pretty good.
Rockies were down two nothing in the second until "The Duece let loose with the juice"
Tulo hits a beauty off of Pelfrey. The Right field crowd realizing the baseball is headed their way.
If you look closely in-between the railing you can see Tulo's homer.
Then the mad scramble for it.
All you can see here is a hand with a watch holding a ball.
In reality the dude with the black shirt and black hat snagged the ball and his little girl is holding it.
Not long after Seth Smith does the same thing. You can see Smith's homerun ball top of the picture in the middle.
All I can say is if that was my wiener I'd be treating it a little better…Can you say condiments?
But totally bobbles the second one…They boo-ed him…LOL

Not to be outdone Cargo gets his first homerun at Coors this year in the sixth inning.
You can see Cargo's homerun just above the yellow line on the right side. On the left side of this picture you can see Douglas cheering.
In the seventh inning with Dexter Fowler at bat the game gets delayed for rain and depending on where you were sitting…hail.
Out comes the tarp. Notice there are eight guys in the picture.
Here's the dude just before he gets completely covered.
The groundkeeper stuck here under the tarp looks like a Teepee. Guys remind you of anything in the morning?
Here he is making his exit to a cheering crowd.
After fifty minutes they removed the sand bags, folded up the tarp and Dexter Fowler was back up to bat.
Dexter fouled one off his knee and goes down quick.
Dexter exited the game and Ryan Spilborghs took his spot.
Here are some random pics.
Jon Herrera daring someone to cross this line.
I call this set of pictures:
"Hawaii Bob doin his Job"
"Excuse me sir may I see your tickets?"
"Sir these are Rockpile tickets. You're sitting in the wrong section"
Hawaii Bob gives them the boot and sends them on their way with a smile.
Ian Stewart broken bat series.
Cheers to you Jersey Geoff.
Best jacket of the game 🙂 Mets take this one 4-3. I hate losing to the Mets at home.
Mike…The Rox Addict standing tall in the Homeboy Hangout.
Mark, Tracy and Tom Post Game.
Other than Mike, Robert and I, these were really the only other Rockies fans hanging out after this loss.
That got us a little TV time. Thank you Joy for sending me this.
The first time I've ever heard the words Rockpile Ranter uttered on Television and it's followed by the Cowboy saying I've got fleas and Tom saying I've got ants in my pants.
No worries, you get what you get when you're a white boy and you shake your groove thing on TV.
You can expect a different dance now every time the Rockies lose and Mike and I are there postgame
Cheer on your Rockies, believe me you don't wanna see us dance.
I'm "D" The Rockpile Ranter and this is the purple mohawk dude.
We both agree, it's time for the Rockies to get a grip and stop this slip….D

Welcoming the Media History Digital Library to NitrateVille
Many participants here are no doubt already familiar with the Media History Digital Library and its search platform Lantern, which scans and offers for public use over 800,000 (as of this writing) pages of media-related publications from the early years of film and mass media, from trade publications to fan magazines. It is the work of David Pierce, who has been a participant at NitrateVille, and Eric Hoyt, together with many collectors who have scanned and offered them the publications they have in their collections. The vast opportunities for new forms of research which the availability of this material creates are well discussed in this thread here and in this blog post by John McElwee, to name two.
NitrateVille is pleased to announce a new partnership with this project: we are creating a dedicated forum which will serve as the discussion platform for issues related to the operation and use of the Media History Digital Library. This relieves the MHDL of having to manage a discussion forum itself, and allows it to focus its (volunteer) energies on its chief mission of growing its library, while for NitrateVille, it creates an entry point for independent researchers and enthusiasts to discover our forum and join in discussion here.
There are just a couple of rules I would like to make people aware of:
1. For all who participate in discussion here: the Media History Digital Library forum is specifically for issues related to using the MHDL and its search platform Lantern for research. When a discussion veers from "How do I find what German distributors thought about Clara Bow?" to "That Clara Bow, she's one hot mama" it should be broken off (with a link if you want) and taken to the appropriate general NitrateVille forum, i.e., Talking About Silents, Talking About Talkies, Image Gallery, etc. The moderators will, when they deem it necessary, split threads which have traveled from that focus on the MHDL, with a link to where discussion continues.
2. NitrateVille aims to be a friendly, moderated forum. Participants are strongly encouraged to maintain the existing civil tone, and moderation, lightly but firmly practiced, will be employed as necessary. More about that here. Also please note that as a public forum, we discourage discussion that features blatant copyright violation in public; more about that here and here.
If you are having trouble registering for NitrateVille, please email me at mikegebert at gmail dot com.

I was 18 weeks pregnant, lying on my back, my bladder about to burst, waiting for the technician to arrive for my routine ultrasound.
I was nervous. But it wasn't the shape or size of the fetus that had me so jittery, or whether the individual parts were developing all right. For some reason, I had an amazing amount of confidence about these things, a strong hunch that the baby inside me was healthy. What was I nervous about? That the baby might be a boy.
From the time my husband and I thought about having kids, I knew I wanted a girl. It had been a vague wish, something felt more than articulated—until a few weeks before the scheduled ultrasound, when we took a trip to Cape Cod, and I realized how strongly held my preference really was.
It was near the end of the season, and there was plenty of beach available, but we steered away from isolation and parked ourselves among the families with their rafts and sunblock and towels, animal crackers in small plastic bags, brightly colored shovels and pails. This would be our first baby; we wanted to get a glimpse of what was in store. So we sat looking and listening, day after day, our thick novels spread open on our knees, the pages not turning.
I saw a girl who again and again chased the tide as it shrank into the ocean, and then about-faced and ran to higher ground, squealing, as the cold water rolled back in. I saw a girl who leaned her back up against her father's shins and flipped through the pages of a magazine, her mother's sunglasses sliding down her nose, her hair a cascade of auburn curls. I saw two sisters who sat face-to-face on their heels and piled a mound of wet sand between them, their voices crisscrossing in the air, mixing with the screeches of gulls. There were boys on that beach, too, of course, but nothing about them engaged me. I noticed them there, but it was the girls I couldn't stop watching. Why?
On one level, the pull was purely visual. I loved the way their bellies pushed out, the way their wet bathing suits clung to their butts, the way they held themselves, a certain softness and grace entering whatever they did. There was something about their long hair, the sheen of which a day in the wind could not fully conceal, that made me want to lay my hands gently upon their heads, something about their eyes that made me wish they would look my way. Never mind that, as my husband jokingly pointed out, their beach clothes were a whole lot cuter.
Still, I knew enough to recognize that aesthetics are subjective, that they are dictated by something much deeper. There was no inherent reason one little girl's high ponytail and clam diggers would grab me, while her older brother's football jersey turned me off.
What Little Girls Are Made Of
Girls have more mellow energy, I decided after a few days of observation. They're more willing to converse. Their play is contemplative. It doesn't involve tearing around at full tilt, limbs flailing. It doesn't include violence, a piece of driftwood transformed into a gun, a schooner on the horizon suddenly an enemy ship.
Girls read books, they collect shells, carefully picking through hanks of ragged seaweed, attentive to hidden, tiny worlds. I found that even their shrieks of delight had a kind of bubbling delicacy; it was a quality I wanted to touch with my fingertips, to hold onto.
I knew, of course, that I was stereotyping. I could recognize that the boys and girls on that beach probably weren't really all that different, that I was choosing to see different things in them. Gender stands out; it's an aspect of identity that registers before hair color or personality. Maybe, because I am one who prefers conversation to activity, who thinks hard and wonders often, who finds the pattern of waves infinitely more interesting than the experience of riding them, I assumed these girls—simply because they were girls—had those qualities, too; and I gravitated toward what I thought I saw.
Perhaps it was something beyond that, too: I think that in the brown-haired 4-year-old who grew tearful when her sand castle disappeared beneath a surprise wave, I may have seen myself as a small child, and the darkness of my own uncertain world.
In my youth, it seemed, things toppled and sometimes there wasn't much I could depend on to hold steady. My older brother drew me in with his affection and then, in an instant, turned cruel; my parents sat across from each other at the dining room table, and there was a coldness between them I couldn't explain; we drove by a smashed bird in the road, and I wanted more than anything to bring it back to life. In yearning to comfort this little girl on the beach, I may have also been wanting to comfort myself, to pick my way through the broken pieces of the past, return to all the ruined sand castles and rebuild what I had long since lost. Maybe mothering a daughter would become a way to be mothered, too.
Whatever the complexity of reasons, I knew this: Every time I saw a girl, something inside me twisted and surged, a longing so profound it felt like pain.
The Moment Of Truth
"Do you want to know the sex?" the technician asked, rolling the wand over my belly like it was a Ouija board, something to predict the future. We did. My husband, having no particular preference, was simply curious. I happen to be intolerant of secrets. Besides, I reasoned, if the baby was in fact a boy, I didn't want the birth itself to be tainted with disappointment. I wanted, as much as possible, to get that part out of the way.
The fetus looked fine, the technician was telling us. There were hands and feet, she said, there were kidneys and a liver, and there was a heart that had four chambers.
"That's the umbilical cord," she said, pointing with her cursor. "And that dot just below it—that's a winkie." She tapped on her keyboard, moved in for a close-up, click click. "Yup," she nodded, "that's a winkie, all right."
"Wow," I said. I tried to smile. I didn't want the technician to think I was ungrateful, or just crazy. "Wow," I heard myself say again.
On the drive back home, I was in tears. "Healthy is what I want," I had heard other pregnant women say. "Beyond that, I don't care." I envied them. I felt guilty, too, having hoped so hard for a particular outcome, having taken the baby's apparent health for granted. So many women struggle to get pregnant; so many times, the joy of pregnancy is shadowed by confusing test results or, worse, confirmed health problems.
"It'll be okay," my husband said. "You'll love him anyway. You'll love him so much you won't even believe it."
But I couldn't keep my disappointment in check. And I was a little afraid, too, fearful of all the wild energy I assumed—rightly or wrongly—that this thing growing inside of me possessed.
Looking Inward
I'm a moody person. Sometimes I struggle for equilibrium. I didn't need that sense of chaos and disorder on the outside, too—a toddler running circles around a couch, a 7-year-old falling out of trees. I lacked the inner stability, I thought, to withstand it. What I wanted on the outside, instead, was peace and quiet: a girl coloring at a table, humming softly.
All I could think of, as we drove along the highway, my head pressed against the window glass, were toy trucks banging against walls for hours on end, fist fights, dirt and bugs and screaming.
I spent the next couple of months in a panic. I worried, despite my husband's assurances, that I wouldn't be able to love my son; I could imagine the damage I would do to him, being a mother who always wished he were something other than what he was.
For a long while, I harbored a hope that the technician had made a mistake, that what she thought was a "winkie" was actually some other body part she hadn't accounted for. I kept picturing the moment of birth and the midwife announcing, "It's a girl," and the feeling of having been blessed with a miracle. And to be honest, I still have moments, well into my third trimester, when I wonder, What if?
I feel conflicted, it's true. But isn't so much of motherhood about ambivalence, no matter who your child is, no matter her size and shape, his preference for violin or football? I have realized this more and more as my pregnancy has progressed. There are always second thoughts, twinges of regret. Already, part of me is in mourning. My breasts will no longer be my husband's and mine to explore. My schedule will be dictated by someone else's demands. I will have so much—too much?—responsibility.
In those early months, it was easy for me to blame all those fears and concerns on the one concept of gender. As gender became the focus, it obscured the universality of my doubts. I could almost trick myself into thinking that if only the boy were a girl instead, I would be riding high day after day, without reservation or remorse. I know now that's not true. I also know that my regrets about not having a girl are real. They may have masked my other worries about motherhood earlier on, but they have their own weight and validity.
But I have, over time, opened myself up to ambivalence. And doing so has allowed me, paradoxically, to open myself up to love, too. Sometimes I feel such a strong connection to this creature that the time I have to wait until I actually get to hold him seems like torture, and the days pass at an unbearably slow pace.
And maybe he will surprise me. Maybe I am wrong about the way that boys are; maybe the stereotypes are just that. Maybe my son won't ram trucks into walls, maybe he won't always be running and doing, a streak of muscle zooming from room to room, no time to reflect and consider. Maybe he will want to color, take walks in the woods, talk to me about what he is thinking, sit by my side and read.
But maybe I will surprise myself instead. I don't want to make this my child's burden; I don't want to saddle him with the responsibility of bending his sturdy body to my wishes, of tamping down his exuberance to accommodate my sensibilities, my fragile wiring. Maybe I will discover that there is nothing more fun than putting on bright red rubber boots and jumping with full force into a mud puddle, that a lion's roar reaches down and finds the power inside you the way a kitty-cat's tame meow never could.
Maybe those are things I used to know myself but then forgot, as I learned to be what people expect from a little girl, as I figured out what made my own parents happiest. Maybe when my son runs around the house with his friends after school, his tube socks sliding off his feet, the color rising in his cheeks, and he accidentally knocks a vase off the mantel, I will hear chimes in the shattering of glass. I will not feel broken myself. I will see danger in those hundreds of sharp-edged parts, yes, but I will also see a bright new surface: something twinkling, lovely.

GLEN ELLYN – Sandra Pihos, a current state representative, announced Tuesday her candidacy for the 48th District. She was first elected to the General Assembly in 2002.
In her candidacy announcement, Pihos, R-Glen Ellyn, proposed a four-part plan to help restore Illinois' economy. This proposal focuses on reforming the state's pension system, reducing government spending, creating new jobs and developing quality education and workforce opportunities.
"It is no secret that Illinois government is simply not working," Pihos said in a news release. "The political hierarchy is entrenched in gridlock, unwilling to work together for the common good. Rather than perpetuating this fight, I will utilize my experience in working across the aisle to address our problems that require bi-partisan solutions."
Pihos is a 41-year resident of Glen Ellyn. She taught elementary and middle school before becoming a high school guidance counselor. She later served for 10 and a half years on the Glenbard District 87 Board of Education, and ended her service as board president. She is also a small business owner.
House District 48 includes Lombard, Wheaton, Glen Ellyn, Downers Grove, Lisle, Oakbrook Terrace and Villa Park. Pihos will run in the March 2014 primary against Peter Breen, R-Lombard.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – A seven-goal run that spanned the first and second halves helped power MIT to a 15-6 victory over Mount Holyoke College in a quarterfinal game of the New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) Women's Lacrosse Championship Tournament on Wednesday. Erica Little paced the Engineers' attack with four goals while Ava Gottschall led the Lyons with two goals.
The No. 3 seeded Engineers (13-4) will continue play on Saturday, May 2 when they take on No. 2 Springfield College in semifinal action at 2:30 p.m. with Babson College serving as the host site. Following its first postseason meeting with MIT since 1993, No. 6 Mount Holyoke closed its campaign with a ledger of 5-11.
Little put the Cardinal and Gray on the board first with an unassisted marker after 2:05 expired. Clara Raugei found Hilary Bombard for the equalizer four minutes later, but a trio of free-position shots, two by Stephanie Brenman and one from Edith Reshef, gave the Engineers a 4-1 edge at the 15:59 mark. A free-position shot by Raugei and then an unassisted goal from Gottschall brought Mount Holyoke within one (4-3) with 9:14 on the clock. Katie Kauffman and Brenman increased MIT's margin with free-position goals before Taylor Hedges tallied a free-position shot for the Lyons. Two goals by Kelly Duncan late in the frame gave the Engineers an 8-4 advantage at the break.
MIT carried the momentum into the second stanza, tallying five straight goals while its defense thwarted several attacks by Mount Holyoke. Little registered three goals during the spurt that resulted in a 13-4 lead with 13:33 left to play. Gottschall connected on a feed from Hedges over a minute later to end the scoring drought for the Lyons. Kauffman countered with a solo effort which was followed by Vika Planson converting a pass from Bombard at the 8:17 mark. Mount Holyoke won the ensuing draw and quickly put a shot on goal, but MIT goalie Molly McCartin came up with save. Following a successful clearing attempt, the Engineers held on to the ball until Reshef capped the scoring with 4:04 on the clock.
MIT had a slight advantage in groundballs (22-16) and shots (24-18), but the biggest difference was in free-position shots. The Engineers converted seven of their nine attempts while Mount Holyoke was 2-of-9 from eight meters out.
Brenman recorded a hat-trick on three free-position shots in addition to posting five groundballs and two draw controls. Reshef notched three goals as Samantha O'Keefe totaled five groundballs, five draw controls, and three caused turnovers. Duncan registered two goals while Kauffman finished with two goals and an assist. Alex Wright tallied three groundballs and three caused turnovers as McCartin collected nine saves and three groundballs.
In addition to her team-high scoring performance, Gottschall posted three draw controls. Bombard, Hedges, and Raugei each recorded one goal and an assist for the Lyons. Bianca Young led the defense with five groundballs and four caused turnovers while Bombard contributed four groundballs and two caused turnovers. Hedges chipped in four draw controls as Jeanmarie Peterson stopped seven shots.

The Veterans Affairs Department's inspector general, whose reports on apparent misreporting of veterans waiting times at medical centers triggered the current scandal, has subpoenaed a whistleblower advocacy group for records on reported abuses at VA facilities.
The nonprofit Project on Government Oversight declined to cooperate with the May 30 demand. In a letter sent to the IG on Monday, POGO said the subpoena infringes on the group's constitutional "freedom of speech, freedom of press, and freedom of association rights as they relate to all whistleblowers and sources."
Just as the VA controversy was breaking, POGO on May 15 announced it was teaming up with the Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America to launch a whistleblower website called VAOversight.org. It has since received 700 reports of alleged mismanagement at VA medical centers, POGO reported, a fourth of which are from current or former VA staff. The remainder are from veterans, family members or friends of veterans, a POGO spokesman said.
The letter from acting VA Inspector General Richard Griffin demanded "all records POGO has received from current or former employees" of the VA, veterans and other individuals or entities relating to wait times, access to care, or scheduling issues at any VA facility.
Providing legal citations backing its position, POGO also noted that it promised confidentiality to those who made reports to its website pending POGO's own investigations, and that many of the people who made reports had also reported their complaints to the IG's office.
"The inspector general's demand stands opposed to POGO's mission and to good government reform -- both of which serve the public interest," said POGO Executive Director Danielle Brian, who signed the letter with POGO General Counsel Scott Amey. "Our focus is squarely on investigating the problems in the VA healthcare system and trying to find some solutions."

OK let's just agree that diagrams and graphs are pretty effective explanatory devices.
Here's the standard representation of an IS-LM model.
To use it you must know how the curves shift when an exogenous variable changes, e.g. government spending increases and shifts the IS curve to the right.
... and here's an alternative representation of the same model, as a qualitative causal graph.
The arrows and the signs of the effects allow a causal story to unfold.
This is a non-standard representation, but I think you'll agree it has explicative power.
This representation is quite natural for macroeconomics because the economy comprises sets of interacting systems and subsystems.

Arlen Specter running more successfully as a Democrat for reelection and receiving a 71 - 16 percent approval rating from Democrats. Clay F. Richards, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Polling Institute, is available to comment. Attached are highlights from the March 25 poll, also available at http://www.quinnipiac.edu/polling.xml, or call (203) 582-5201. Longtime Pennsylvania U.S. Sen. Arlen Specter trails former Congressman Pat Toomey 41 - 27 percent in a Republican primary for the 2010 Senate race, with 28 percent undecided, according to a Quinnipiac University poll released March 25. Overall Pennsylvania voters have a 45 - 31 percent favorable opinion of Sen. Specter, but he gets a 47 - 29 percent unfavorable score from Republicans. The Republican gets a 60 - 16 percent thumbs up from Democrats and a 41 - 35 percent positive from independent voters, the independent Quinnipiac (KWIN uh-pe-ack) University poll finds. Voters approve 52 - 33 percent of the job Specter is doing, with a 71 - 16 percent positive from Democrats and a 41 - 37 percent boost from independent voters, off-setting a 52 - 36 percent disapproval from Republicans. This is Specter's highest approval among Democrats and lowest approval among Republicans since Quinnipiac University began polling Pennsylvania in 2002. Specter's support of President Barack Obama's Stimulus Package wins 87 - 6 percent support from Democrats and 56 - 38 percent support from independent voters, while Republican voters disapprove 70 - 25 percent.

Here is a schematic of the hardware and how its hooked up.
2) this is a diode used to protect the hardware from unwanted emf signals.
3) an NPN transistor used to provide enough current for the relay coil. The coil relay requires more current than the Arduino output pin can provide.
Bluetooth works just outside my home, but ideally I want to control the garage from anywhere I want. I will be modifying my App in order to communicate it with a computer through the internet. Stay tuned...

It took me a while to work out what she meant: but it was pasta with pesto or pasta with tomato sauce, I felt slightly ashamed. I realised how limited my cooking had become. Almost every night it was red dinner or green dinner.
Last night I made her purple dinner. She's still pretty fussy. So I covered up her eyes before giving it to her, but she peeked. "I'm not eating that!" She tasted. "I'm only eating it because I'm starving. You are starving me." she announced dramatically.
The teen is revising for her As level exams. (If I call them A levels I get in trouble "You don't even KNOW WHAT EXAMS I'M DOING! THAT'S HOW LITTLE YOU CARE!!!")
This consists of hours sitting in the living room, looking wan, staring at her laptop with a packet of digestives next to her. But on actual exam days, I do my bonne maman bit, rise early, and make her a high protein breakfast: a cheese omelette, or smoked salmon and scrambled eggs, a glass of juice and some milky coffee. She hates eating breakfast but I insist on those days "Brain food!" I declare.
The rest of the year I've given up the battle.
I don't get up early before she goes to school anymore. I did it for years: the eye-watering school run. I used to spend almost three hours a day in the car taking her to school and back. She went to a French primary school in Kentish Town that was 45 mins away. Every morning we'd get into my old banger, a wreck I'd driven back from France which leaked rain and smelt of mould, so nobody wanted to share the run with us. I'd do the worst drive in London: across Hampstead at school run time. The narrow roads were glutted with yummy mummies in four-wheel drives, who didn't know the length and width of their own vehicles. The back ways of Hampstead echoed with shouting velvet hairbanded mothers amidst a Boden catalogue of uniformed kids strapped in the back. Hell hath no fury like a middle class mother late for prep school.

Hi mj,
If my aim is to carve out a career track of a quant developer or front desk quant, may I know which areas of financial mathematics should I aim to focus and specialise in? For research or when doing a PhD topic for example.
I may be considering to apply and get admitted into the MSc Financial Mathematics at Kings, and then probably go on and complete their PhD in Financial Mathematics as well. But so far, it seems like LSE and Warwick are ahead of Kings in terms of their MSc FinMath, so will doing a MSc FinMath by Kings help to get me a quant or junior quant role? and whats your opinion on KCL's MSc FM at present? On the other hand, should I focus on completing my PhD in FM before seeking out a quant career? and for a PhD in FM, whats your opinion on the one by Kings? Or are others better?


text: Being a self-reliant homeowner is a wonderful thing. It is also a far easier thing now that the Do-It-Yourself industry has grown so immensely. There are many TV shows on the air, as well as helpful videos on the Internet that give easy, concise directions on how to fix things that go wrong in the house, saving you money. However, although many DIY projects can pay off for the homeowner, there are others that occur that need to be left to the professionals. After all, there would not be professionals in these particular industries if the work could be done by simply looking at an Internet video.

Behind a combined 33 kills from sophomore Leah McNary and freshman Melanie Jereb, No. 21 Creighton defeated Illinois State, 3-1, in the MVC Volleyball Tournament semifinals on Friday, Nov. 23.
The win lifted the top-seeded Jays to 27-3 on the season and extended the program record win streak to 15 matches. Illinois State, the fifth seed in the MVC Tournament, saw its season come to a close at 18-12.
The Jays took the opening set 25-21, but did so in uncharacteristic fashion as Creighton did not record a block until set number three. Trailing 5-4 early on, the Jays took control of the opening set with a 10-3 run to claim a 14-8 lead. Senior Megan Bober set the tone for the Jays with two kills and an ace to get Creighton going, while Jereb delivered the final two points with two of her five kills in set number one.
Illinois State evened the match at 1-1 with a 25-20 win the second set. The Redbirds captured eight of the first 11 points to take control at 8-3. Creighton made a brief push on consecutive kills by McNary to cut the deficit to 8-5, but the Jays would get no closer. The Jays were held to a .089 hitting percentage in the second set with 12 kills and eight errors on 45 swings.
Coming out of the break it was clear that Kirsten Bernthal Booth emphasized the importance of blocking as Creighton delivered five blocks in the third set to claim a 25-19 win. Bober and Thorson started the Jays' block part on the fourth point to give Creighton an early 3-1 edge. Seven kills in the set by McNary and the improved Jays' defense (Illinois State hit just .027 in the set) allowed Creighton to build a nine point edge at 21-12 and cruise to a 2-1 lead in the match.
Set four offered the first back and forth battle of the match, featuring 11 ties. Knotted at 17-17 the Jays used a slide play from Bober to sophomore Kelli Browning followed by a Jereb kill down the middle to bolt out by two at 19-17. Finally the Jays earned the first three-point separation of the set by forcing an Illinois State attack error to extend their lead to 20-17. Following a Redbird kill, Browning pushed it back to a three point edge with a cross court kill. Jereb delivered a lethal blow with an ace on the back line to make it 22-18.
The Jays move on to the MVC Tournament Final for the second time in school history on Saturday, Nov. 24 at 7 p.m. Creighton will face No. 3 Wichita State at 7 p.m. The game will be televised on Fox Sports Midwest and can also be seen on ESPN3.

DURHAM — Public health in New Hampshire is the subject of the next Seacoast Science Café at the Portsmouth Brewery Wednesday, Feb. 13, at 6 p.m.
At the first in the spring series of cafés, University of New Hampshire professors Michael Palace and Rosemary Caron will discuss two health threats familiar to New Englanders: Lyme disease and lead poisoning.
Seacoast Science Cafés provide a unique chance for members of the public to learn about issues in contemporary science from scientists who lead the research in the relaxed atmosphere of a pub.
Lyme disease is the most common tick-borne disease in the world and infections can lead to severe health problems. Because of the complicated aspects of this disease, it requires knowledge of ecology of multiple host species, which is directly tied to vegetation structure and landscape characteristics.
Lead poisoning is a public health issue that predominantly persists in children residing in urban communities in New England. How common is childhood lead poisoning in New Hampshire? What are the consequences for children with elevated lead levels? How can we prevent children from being poisoned by lead?
Palace is an environmental scientist focusing on tropical ecology, landscape ecology, and geospatial science. His research ranges from field studies of forest structure to using satellite imagery in an effort to both predict disease and understand past human settlement patterns. He is an assistant research professor in the Earth System Research Center at the Institute of Earth, Oceans, and Space at UNH. He is a faculty fellow at the Sustainability Institute and coordinator for the environmental science interdisciplinary undergraduate major, both at UNH.
Caron is a toxicologist and epidemiologist who works with communities by using participatory research methods to reduce public health issues affecting their populations. She is an associate professor in the department of health management and policy and former director of the master's of public health program at UNH. She is also a UNH Carsey Fellow and faculty member in the UNH master's program in development, policy and practice. Prior to joining academia, Caron practiced public health at the Manchester Health Department; Department of Health and Human Services in Concord; and in an environmental-based consulting firm in Mass.
Their presentations will be in The Portsmouth Brewery's Jimmy LaPanza Lounge, but attendees should feel free to come in early for a bite and a pint.
Other cafés in the spring series are:
■ March 6: Sustainable Communities, Public Health, and Transportation: Connecting the Dots
■ April 10: Going Underground — How the Soil Beneath our Feet Affects Climate
■ May 8: Warmer Water, Riskier Coasts: How Climate Change is Affecting Shellfish and Recreation
■ May 15: The Science of Beer
The Seacoast Science Café provides a unique opportunity for researchers to talk with Seacoast residents about the science that directly impacts our lives. The casual environment encourages people to join the conversation, even if they don't know much about the topic right away. Everyone is welcome, and no tickets or reservations are necessary. The Café series is co-sponsored by University of New Hampshire and EPSCoR, New Hampshire's Experimental Program to Stimulate Competitive Research.
Portsmouth's Community Radio, WSCA 106.1 FM, will record each event for replay on the radio, as well as via podcast. Podcasts are archived on the web at http://nhepscor.org/sciencecafe.
For further questions or to be added to a mailing list regarding future events and broadcasts, contact: Evelyn Jones NH EPSCoR at (603) 862-1804 or email@example.com or JT Thompson of the Portsmouth Brewery at firstname.lastname@example.com.

FAYETTEVILLE — Arkansas coach Dave Van Horn believes the Razorbacks are dangerous in a three-game series because of their pitching depth.
His team's success in Southeastern Conference play is proving it.
Arkansas has won seven of nine series in conference play with Sunday's victory against Tennessee. The Razorbacks won the three-game series despite falling in a 0-1 hole following the 8-3 loss Friday night. But the Razorbacks outscored the Volunteers 21-3 the final two games of the series to improve to 17-9 in SEC play.
"It was a great job by our team," Van Horn said. "They did a great job of being extremely focused, really, the last two days after a disappointing first game. I felt like it was a lack of focus combined with a great pitching performance by Tennessee's (Zack Godley). Saturday was outstanding. (Sunday) was a carbon copy."
Arkansas' only series losses came at home against Ole Miss and LSU.
The Razorbacks dropped both with extra-innings losses in the finale.
The 7-2 series record equals the program's best since 1999, when the Razorbacks won eight of their 10 conference series en route to the SEC championship.
The Razorbacks can't win the SEC title (Vanderbilt clinched it last weekend) or the SEC West (LSU has won the division crown) this season. But Arkansas has secured a top four seed for the 2013 SEC Tournament, which ensures a first-round bye.
It also keeps Arkansas' hopes of being named one of the NCAA's 16 regional hosts alive. The Razorbacks close the regular season with a three-game series at Auburn, which begins Thursday night. SEC Tournament play begins next Tuesday.
The Razorbacks — who remained No. 11 in this week's Baseball America poll — haven't hosted an NCAA Regional since the 2010 season.
"We'd love to play at home and in front of this crowd," Arkansas senior Matt Vinson said. "It's tough to win here at Baum. If anybody comes here, we feel like we can win. But at the same time, we feel fine on the road. We feel just as comfortable there.
"So it would be great to have a regional. But it's not that important to us."

Eight out of 10 women are wearing the wrong size sports bra, says Heather Cvitkovic, a product manager at Moving Comfort, the women's fitness clothing company that sells more sports bras than any other brand. But when it comes to choosing a sports bra, size isn't the only thing that matters.
"The style of bra you wear needs to fit the type of activity you're doing in it," she says.
A compression bra, one that presses the breasts against the chest wall to restrict movement, is best for small-breasted women who do low-impact activities like swimming. A bra that combines compression with encapsulation — semi-molded cups — is better for women who have larger breasts and need more support than they will get from compression alone. And an encapsulation bra — a style that "lifts and separates" — is best suited for larger-breasted women who do medium- and high-impact activities such as running or jumping rope.
No matter which style you choose, "the bottom band should fit more snugly than a lingerie bra does because that's where the support comes from," says Cvitkovic. You should be able to take a deep breath without feeling uncomfortable, she adds, but it should feel tight. The bottom band should also lie flat and straight across the back. Here's a look at some of the latest styles:
