There's an unfortunate surprise waiting at the end of those long gas lines in the Northeast: sharply higher prices.
Continue Reading Below
Gas prices jumped across New York and New Jersey over the weekend as officials rationed gas from the stations that remained open after Superstorm Sandy. The price increases are a final blow to the region, experts say. They won't spread to other parts of the country.
Outside of the Northeast, gas prices have been dropping, and they're expected to continue to do so. The national average gas price fell to $3.47 per gallon Monday, and it could drop as low as $3.35 per gallon by Thanksgiving, says Patrick DeHaan, a senior petroleum analyst at GasBuddy.com.
Prices are currently heading in the other direction in New York, where they rose by an average of 3.4 cents per gallon statewide during the past week, according to AAA's Fuel Gauge Report. Gas prices added 9.4 cents per gallon in New York City. In New Jersey, AAA said a gallon of gas increased by an average of 6.8 cents during the past week and 11.2 cents in Newark.
Is this price gouging? Not really, says Tom Kloza, chief oil analyst with the Oil Price Information Service. Most stations are simply trying to recoup the lost sales for the days they were out of service.
"When you have lines 200 cars long, and everyone's clamoring to get to your station, then yeah, maybe you're going to charge a little markup" for the gas, he says. "If you're charging 50 cents or more, that's gouging. But 5 (cents) to 10 cents, that's not."
What's happening in New York and New Jersey is actually quite normal following a natural disaster. Last year in New Jersey, the state average jumped by nearly 6 cents per gallon after Hurricane Irene slammed into the Atlantic Coast. And prices surged by 24 cents per gallon in Louisiana after Hurricane Katrina hit in 2005.
Hurricanes unerringly cripple a region's energy supply by flooding the electrical grid and cutting off fuel supplies. When Sandy swept into the Northeast last week, it smashed entire neighborhoods, flooded coastal regions and left many communities in the dark.
Refineries serving the East Coast were forced to temporarily shut down, and fuel tankers stayed clear of New York Harbor. Sandy also temporarily cut off the Colonial Pipeline, a crucial artery for transporting gasoline and other fuels from the Gulf Coast to the Northeast.
The U.S. government says that Sandy cut off more than 300,000 barrels per day of fuel production to the Northeast.
Petroleum experts are advising drivers in the region to relax a little and avoid filling up out of concern for gasoline shortages. There are ample supplies to serve everyone. Power outages are just making it harder to get the gasoline. It'll eventually get back to normal.
However, if you need to fill up now, here are a few tips for saving time and money.
Save time, money filling up
Don't fill up unless you must. It's tempting to top off your tank out of fear that more supplies won't be coming. But that's not going to happen. Gasoline will become more available as the power gets restored. "I have a half tank in my car now, and I'm not worried," Kloza says.
Try to fill up in areas where multiple stations are open. The best way to protect yourself from price gouging is to make sure you're buying from someone who has competition across the street.
Use gasoline websites, blogs and apps for tips on the cheapest stations. GasBuddy, for example, gathers price information every day from thousands of volunteers around the country.
Combine trips and carpool. This is simple advice that's sometimes easy to forget. But if you find ways to conserve, you won't need to go to the pump so often.
The silver lining, if there is one, is that Sandy hit later in the year, well after the summer driving season when fuel demand is at its peak. That means the storm will have a gentler impact on gas prices than hurricanes Irene and Katrina, which both made landfall during August -- though in different years.
"In terms of impact on gasoline supply and prices, it was one of the better times for a hurricane to hit," Kloza says.

Dear Opening Credits,
Continue Reading Below
I am 18 and have never had a credit card before or used one or understood how to use one. If I get a credit card, can I buy something or pay a medical bill even if I don't have the money? Is the point of a credit card so you can buy something or make a payment on something when you don't have the money yourself, and you just pay off the credit card when you get the money? And how much money can you use/take at a time?
- Elizabeth
Dear Elizabeth,
What, really, is the point of having a credit card? Can't you just use cash? Sure you can, but credit cards offer advantages that go far beyond those of the dollars in your wallet or bank account. The first thing to remember is proper use of credit will help you build a a great credit score, which can help you down the road when you're looking to finance a large purchase, such as a mortgage or a car. The higher your credit score, the more lenders will view you as creditworthy -- allowing you to borrow large sums at the best possible interest rates. Improper use of plastic can earn you a poor credit score, which can prevent you from getting favorable loans -- or even a job or an apartment.
When you pay for something with a credit card, you're not using your own money but borrowing it from the financial institution that issued you the card. If you charge correctly, credit cards are terrific. When you don't, they can be terrible. Here's the scoop.
Each charge is a loan. Every time you use the card, you're tapping into a line of credit, which is a predetermined amount of money that you can spend that is set by the issuer. Once you get approved for a card, you can choose to borrow some or even all of what is available to you. Therefore, if your credit line (sometimes called a credit limit) is $1,000, you may charge up to that amount.
Putting funds at your disposal is the issuer's end of the deal, and you can charge at many places, including stores, gas stations, online retailers and, yes, most doctor's offices.
Your end of the deal is to use the card responsibility. Because credit cards allow you to make partial payments, you don't have to send every penny you spend right away. As long as you send the minimum payment (usually a small percentage of the balance plus interest) by the due date every month, you're fulfilling your contractual obligation.
Mind, though, that there are some serious potential problems associated with overcharging and not paying the entire balance off on time. While it's nice to have the goods immediately yet pay incrementally, extending a debt for more than a few months makes whatever you buy very expensive. Interest is added to unpaid balances, and it compounds, meaning that over time you are paying interest charges on top of the previous month's balance and interest.
If your card's interest rate is high and you only pay the minimum payment month after month, too much of your payment will go toward interest and not toward the amount you spent -- it can take months or even years to pay off what you owe. Charging only what you can afford to repay in about 30 days is the best policy, at least in the beginning. After you know you can handle credit well, you can consider financing a more costly purchase over a set period of time. However, the monthly payment must always be easily affordable and low enough for you to get out of debt in a few months.
Additionally, it's critical that you pay your credit card bills on time. The issuer will send your payment activity information to credit reporting agencies. A large portion of your credit score is calculated based on your payment history and outstanding debt. Using the card regularly and keeping debt at zero or very low will build a good credit rating. Paying late and carrying too high a balance will lower your credit rating.
Essentially, the point of having a credit card is for you to pay for what you can afford, not what you can't. Although the credit card issuer may allow you to charge a large sum, it's up to you to decide when enough is enough. Use caution and foresight when swiping. Whether it's for a bracelet or braces, the bill must always be one you can repay quickly and easily.

It's just a photograph, I tell myself, as I recover from the unexpected shock of seeing my long-dead father stare back at me from my computer screen. The misleading subject line of the email from Bob, my dad's once-young protégé, read: "Attached is your father's portrait."
My dad painted and after my parents separated in 1968 my mom offloaded his two dozen or so paintings to a couple of his close friends (I managed to rescue a few, arguing that the ones my dad painted of my brother and me belonged to us and weren't hers to give away). So I thought that Bob, who had recently called to ask if I wanted one of the paintings Mom had given him—a portrait of a yogi—was sending a photo of the painting so I could decide if I wanted it. Instead, what he sent was a black and white portrait of my father that he shot not long before Dad overdosed and died in December 1970. My father was forty-four. I was twelve.
Most of how I remember my dad is from photographs when he was in his twenties and thirties, when he and Mom were newlyweds and then later the parents of young children. There are very few photos of my dad from later in his troubled life, and nothing like the intense—and intensely sad—image on my computer. If you didn't know that my dad suffered from depression and killed himself, you might think that he simply looked thoughtful and contemplative, which he was. But knowing what I know about his death—knowing what I can never forget as much as I would like to forget—I see sadness and heartbreak. His sadness. My heartbreak.
I've ticked off the passing years since my dad's death with something approaching ritual every December 16, although since I marked my own forty-fourth birthday, I no longer worry that I'll wind up killing myself too—which I've learned is something that children of a parent who takes his or her life often fear. And the pain of Dad's suicide has long since faded from crushing and persistent to a simple (simple!) occasional ache. It does indeed get better with time, a long time.
But that photograph makes me more than ache. I see myself in that face, a face that I can see in my own, and Dad looks as sad as I feel when I think of him and what I lost. He's a man I hardly knew, who died eight years shy of the age I am now, yet his absence still has the power to take my breath away and bring tears to my eyes when I look into his eyes.

I am so proud of you. What a wonderful article about your dad . I will pass on to the S.O.S. in my area. Stay in touch. ♥ Virginia
Jonathan Singer says:
The photo of your dad is beautiful and haunting – more so knowing that he died by suicide. You write so simply and beautifully. When I read how you teared up looking into his eyes I found myself tearing up. I'm not sure why. Perhaps the tragedy of it all. Thanks for sharing such an intimate experience. I look forward to checking out your book.
David St. Michael says:
Thank you. xo
Jessica says:
I really appreciated your post. It rang very true for my situation as well. My mom also shot herself, four years ago this May. My husband's biggest fear is also that I will die at my own hand too. It scares me but I just have to keep telling myself I have so much to live for, a son, and husband. I really don't want to hurt them like I was by my mom's decision. I was 21, but I had a very complicated relationship with her. My mom suffered from bipolar disease and I developed it as well into my young adulthood. I also experience similar emotions when I see photos of her. I see her fake smiles and her sadness. I wish I could have known what she was feeling but the distance (physical and emotionally) that she put between us made that nearly impossible.
Thanks for your time.
Dawn Hood says:
Mr. Marcus,
When you reading this story it gave me me goosebumps. I lost my dad a little over 6 years ago to suicide in which he shot himself. It has pointed me in the direction of suicide and I have a sort of "obsession" as to why. I just finished my master's degree in Public Health and I have researched a lot of papers concerning suicide and mental health. Your book "Why suicide" will be my next purchase because now I have time to read books on my free time. Thank you for sharing your story, it has touched me.

YES, I completely relate when I look at photos of my brother from his last years. Contemplative gazes take on a whole new meaning.
Thank you for starting this blog.

….."yet his absence still has the power to take my breath away and bring tears to my eyes when I look into his eyes."
Exactly, how I feel about my daughter, who died by suicide 6 1/2 years ago. It never ends. Thank you, Eric, for helping others (try to) understand about the aftermath of suicide on a person/family.
Kate Hilly says:
What a touching and very real comment about the kind of grief a loved one suiciding brings. I so relate to the crushing and persistant pain that has ebbed to an ache…..yet the pain can pierce through at many unexpected times. My brother suicided almost 10 years ago now – I marvel at the joy he brought our family in all the best parts of himself….and also the great pain. I think of him now when I play with my son and talk to my husband both of whom he'll never know. We loved him and so his loss hurts…but my prayer is for all the young kids who experience bullying (like my brother) and that they receive the help and find a way through their pain and confusion to make a better life for themselves…..I pray for the services for those suffering depression and other mental health issues to be properly funded and given so families don't fight alone against that darkness. I pray for hope for everyone in a dark place….cos there is a new day and it is worth waiting for…
Kim G. says:
My son's name was Eric too. He committed suicide in 1996. As a parent of a child who comitted suicide, you worried about your suriving children dying this way. Suicide does run in families. My son was 16 at the time of his death. My daughter was 12. On her 16th, I threw her a party.My way of facing that horrible age.The age I lost my son.
Suicide is a wound that never quite heals the family. There is always a raw place deep in your heart of a life that never was, but should have been.
I graduated this year with my Master's in Soical Work. I work in Mental Health. I know this is a path, I would have never had gone down, had my son not died the way he did.
So Sorry for your loss. I try to think about his life before he died. He was more than the act of suicide. He was loved by his family and friends.I'm sure your father was too.
God Bless,
Mother of Eric Whitt
ericmarcus says:
Hello Kim,
Congratulations on graduating! Amazing how this kind of traumatic loss can change the trajectory of our lives–and in some positive ways, too. I sometimes feel a bit guilty for getting any kind of pleasure or satisfaction from the work I do around suicide–work that I never would have done if not for my dad's suicide. All so complicated. Thanks for your comment. Again, congratulations! Best, Eric
Lori says:
Thank you Eric for sharing so personally and honestly about your father's suicide. I am inspired to locate a photo of my godmother who I lost to suicide when I was 18 (23 years ago). I want my young daughter to know about this beautiful woman who was such a part of my childhood that she'll never have the opportunity to meet.
Jenny W. says:
Hello, I lost my son to suicide coming up on 4 years, July 31. He was 18, lovely, sensitive, contemplative, charismatic, funny, sad, depressed, anxious, diagnosed with depression and SAD, went on meds and took himself off, he drank with the rest of the 18 year-olds on campus, he was a perfectionist, he worried a lot about his appearance and his clothes. He died July 31, 2007. He ran his 2002 Mustang into a tree at 85-100 mph and died on impact. Our family and friends are left with the remains of what his life was while rebuiling ours. I, particularly take great effort to help myself and to help others on their journey through the unnatural, unthinkable act (to those of us that are "rational") of taking one's own life, helping them heal to the point where they can go on while keeping their loved-one in their head and heart and can talk about them. Thank God this is out there and thank Eric also for making this possible. Peace.
Linda Kessler says:
I'm up late as usual since my son died one year ago I don't sleep well..sometimes too much..sometimes not at all. My son Eric was(Ireally hate was)a very good looking , bright young man with a pretty girlfiend,job ,family thumbs and fingers, a cell phone,feet. mouth and voice, celebrated a birthday, and upon turning 26. who in a dark moment 1 day upon upon turing 26 hung himselfLeft six notes. I'm crushed. My twin brother had a stroke one week after Eric's death. Never married, Eric meant the world to him. He has suffered two more..My surviving son is now bonding with his Dad who I divorced 17 years ago. The headstone of Erics grave "afamily plot" depicts them as "married on".and their wedding day…my son Eric says Eric -son. He looks like their son. Along story about that.long week, planning a funeral you never wanted nor expected. But this year has passed and I am still standing, it hurts, people are cruel, insensitive and ignorant. Please make mood disorders as socially acceptable as diabetes, cancer or aides. We have no class. But damn it's your brain that is very important. Would someone walk up to yu and say..heard your heart is dying..hahahah, can't eat sugar, you're fat…etc. Mood disorders kill. Treat them , prevent them..stop defending secrecy in shame. No shame, we all got a brain.
Howard Tonkin says:
Thanks for this window into your journey that will speak to so many people. I think it is so important to remember those who have past despite how painful it is to make the choice to do so or the nature of their passing. Warm wishes

Husson University Student Dies on Sugarloaf Mountain
A Husson University student died while skiing on Sugarloaf Mountain today. Resort officials told the Associated Press that the 21-year-old from Hoosick, New York lost control and hit some trees.
Carrabassett Valley Police Chief Mark Lopez told the AP that the ski patrol and an ambulance crew performed CPR on Stephen Colvin this morning, but to no avail. A Lifeflight helicopter was activated but was canceled once Colvin was pronounced dead.
Lopez said Colvin wasn't wearing a helmet when he lost control on the black-diamond Hayburner trail and struck several trees in the woods.He was spending the day skiing with fellow members of the Husson University football team. The last time a skier died at Sugarloaf was in January 2012.

As winters go, this one has been pretty darn wonderful. And compared to last year, it's like spring every day. But, let's face it, it's not spring yet, and the beach-loving, toes-in-sand-craving wanderer in me is ready for some sun. And not beautiful-winter's-day sun, but must-wear-sunblock sun. As February becomes March and my booted feet cry for some air, I'm ready for a vacation. The one problem is deciding where to go. These are my top choices for warmth, palm trees, and some R&R:
La Samanna, French St. Martin
This beachfront Orient-Express gem is a little piece of French paradise on one of the Caribbean's most gastro-fabulous islands. La Samanna is the perfect place to enjoy St. Martin's most beautiful beach, wander through scented gardens, and enjoy a wine cellar rivaling those in France. By day, you can experience mind-blowing spa treatments, and by night you'll dine al fresco on a candlelit, ocean-side terrace, enjoying giant Caribbean lobster and haute French cuisine.
What's extra special: This gorgeous resort is getting even better. Now in the midst of an $8 million renovation, 50 of the property's 83 rooms, suites, and cottages have been fully renovated and updated, and now include original local artwork.
Maroma Resort and Spa, Mexico
Ahh, Maroma…simply one of my most favorite places on earth. Another Orient-Express property (okay, I'm just a little obsessed), this 25-acre stunner, located on a coconut plantation on the Riviera Maya, pretty much has it all. White-sand, blue-water beach: check. To-die-for rooms and cottages with luxurious Mayan decor: check. An outdoor spa with gardens, fountains, and outstanding services: check. Phenomenal food, including a tequila and ceviche bar, a tapas restaurant, traditional Mexican cuisine, and more: check. Uber romance factor: check. And if you're really looking for something mind-blowing, go for the traditional, centuries-old Temazcal, after which you'll emerge nothing short of transformed and utterly renewed.
What's extra special: Every Wednesday night, "La Noche del Pescador" or "The Fisher's Night," takes place, when Executive Chef Juan Pablo serves fresh seafood straight from the grill. Torches and live performances enhance the experience, and 50% of the proceeds go to "Amigos del Sian Ka'an," a local organization dedicated to wildlife protection and sustainability in the Yucatan region.
Ka'ana Resort and Spa, Belize
As one of the world's few remaining unspoiled areas, Belize is the hidden gem of Central America that is as easy to reach as it is far from it all. Its most luxurious, coveted resort is the boutique property, Ka'ana, owned by two charming Irish brothers who've created a heavenly oasis. In fact, the name means "heavenly place" in Mayan, and this 15-room, two-villa eco-resort is nothing short of extraordinary. In a lush valley between the Maya Mountains of the Cayo District, the property embodies the spirit of the Mayan natives, utilizing all locally sourced materials, serving food grown in their organic garden (all gourmet and spectacular, of course!), and embracing the aesthetics of the rich native culture. Belize's natural wonders blend seamlessly with the Hannan brothers' knack for luxury, as guests are equally encouraged to explore the surroundings and enjoy special touches, such as Western Belize's largest wine cellar.
What's extra special: Only here can you experience an overnight stay in an ancient Mayan ruin, complete with the creature comforts of Ka'ana. If the Mayans were right and it's all going to end, I'd like to experience this before it's too late!
Jamaica Inn, Ocho Rios, Jamaica
The blue of Jamaica Inn's elegant walls matches the blue of the sea that the resort overlooks, and the 700-foot, "champagne-colored" beach is perhaps the best in Jamaica. As you lounge there all day, sipping complimentary Planter's Punch, you'll understand why this small, classic, oh-so-special resort has been a favorite since 1950. All of the 47 suites overlook the beach, and private balconies or verandahs welcome the breeze in to the impeccable rooms. This is where the Caribbean of the past–simple, stunning, and spectacular–meets the needs of today's demanding traveler.
What's extra special: Jamaica Inn's tastefully decorated rooms, all with enchanting views and classic decor, have no televisions, radios, or clocks. There's nothing to get in the way of your total enjoyment of the glorious surroundings, and about an hour into your stay there, I promise, you won't miss them. In fact, you might be tempted to throw your iPhone directly into that turquoise water.
Hotel Christopher, St. Barts
On one of the Caribbean's most exclusive islands, Hotel Christopher is all about barefoot elegance, unpretentious luxury, and easygoing joie de vivre. The modern, minimalist decor blends seamlessly with the drop-dead-gorgeous scenery, and recently renovated rooms and suites are all airy, light, and large. The free-form freshwater infinity pool overlooking the crystal clear ocean is the perfect spot to relax while enjoying an incredibly delicious pina colada, and the casual, water-front restaurant, Mango, is where guests dine on delicious grilled seafood while running their toes through the sand. Now the boutique luxury resort is officially complete, as they are soon opening a brand-new, state-of-the-art spa that will offer a full range of treatments in the paradise that is Hotel Christopher.
What's extra special: French gastronomy meets the Caribbean's proximity (and beauty and serenity and…), as guests here are treated to classic French foods and pastries that are simply divine. Homemade breads, dark chocolate creme brulee, and ridiculously good macarons might make you hesitant to put on that teeny bikini, but boy are they worth it.

NEW: Because of all the great, high-quality entries, we will offer a second prize of $100!
Price Protectr allows people who have bought something to submit the URL of an item they've recently bought, and request an e-mail on how to get their money back if the price goes down at that retailer (because many retailers have price protection policies).
The page to be designed is the "Deals" page of the Price Protectr website. http://www.priceprotectr.com/deals.jsp
The "Deals" page is a core functionality of the site, and allows people to see price drops on items being protected, as well as the ability to see coupons at some of our covered retailers.
The "Deals" page also allows the user to sign up for a "Deal Alert" based on a few key words.
- The top of the page must have the Price Protectr name, mascot (Lowlo the Owl), the tagline "Your shopping companion", and master navigation buttons with animated drop-downs.
- The basic design must be easy to replicate across the entire site. In other words, the design should have some consistent structure (e.g. 1+1 column, 3-column) and format.
- Color scheme should center on muted green and gold. Nothing neon or too bright. Definite Web 2.0 feel, with simplicity being the hallmark.
- The site mood should inspire confidence, but not be as stodgy as a law firm or insurance company website. For overall designs we like, see leveragecard.com, shoeboxed.com, indiegogo.com, as examples (but they all have elements we're not too crazy about, too, so don't rely too much on them).
- Simplicity
- Here's a mock of a new home page we paid to have designed. This is not a final, so feel free to use it for inspiration. We like many things about this design, so it should be a very good guide, but don't look at it as set in stone. http://www.priceprotectr.com/site/index.html
- Too many words
- More than 4 colors on a page
- Small text

This has been the season of virtual conferencing for me. I've given two talks via Elluminate, had training for iLinc, and am organizing my first virtual discussion. I've been trying to think about how best to move presentations and discussion into this new environment, and am pretty excited about the possibilities.
Before I gave my Library 2.011 talk, I attended Debbie Faires fantastic talk "Don't Just Sit There! Tips for Engaging Participants in Online Sessions" and took advantage of her tips to make my own talk more engaging. Elluminate has some great features, and I found the shared whiteboard features very useful (you'll see in my slides how I created blackboard moments and asked participants to share on the large white board space. I think it worked really well).
I've also just scheduled a virtual meeting for Midwinter for the Info Commons discussion group. We put a lot of thought into how to move our very popular physical discussion into a virtual environment. We're limited by the capabilities of iLinc, which mostly meant we wouldn't be able to indulge my first idea of replicating our breakout tables into virtual rooms.
The first thing we did was schedule a great speaker, and a good topic. Instead of introducing and highlighting their Commons, Don Beagle will kick us off with a presentation about his recent ECAR white paper "From Learning Commons to Learning Outcomes." We're also breaking away from our usual time constraints; Don will have time to give a full presentation and build upon more recent publications and also address questions that folks have asked him about his paper since it's publication. (we have also left more time for discussion than we normally have during the tightly scheduled conference).
I've also asked the Discussion Group members to consider putting together 2-3 slide decks about their assessment projects and findings, and get those to me ahead of time (so I can upload them). This way, we can show and share assessment instruments, graphical and statistical findings, or anything else, in ways we have never taken advantage of in our physical meetings. And since they will have to come to me ahead of time to be organized and uploaded, I'll be able to look for common themes in the submissions and draw parallels with the lead presentation, thus allowing me to be a better facilitator.
I'm looking forward to seeing how this works; it definitely has taken more time to organize & imagine than the usual Discussion Group meeting. I have a feeling it's going to be worth it — and that I'm going to learn a lot doing it too!
And in case you might like to attend, here's the meeting info:
Information Commons Discussion Group Midwinter meeting (virtual)
For Midwinter this year, the InfoCommons Discussion group will be meeting virtually. We're very excited to try this out. We've reserved an iLinc room via ALA, and will meet January 112012, 1-2:30 pm Central Time. The log-in instructions are below, and on the Connect space.
Our Midwinter discussion will continue the assessment conversation we had at Annual 2011. Don Beagle will kick off our meeting with a 20-minute presentation based on his EDUCAUSE report, "From Learning Commons to Learning Outcomes." This report was posted on Sept 27 by the EDUCAUSE Center for Applied Research (ECAR), and within 6 weeks had become the #1 most-downloaded ECAR research bulletin of 2011. Don's comments will also go beyond the ECAR report to look in more detail at 1) recent research into cultural impacts on user expectations of service delivery (especially pertinent to "Affect of Service" as measured by LibQUAL+® , and 2) recent research by Derek Rodriguez into library impacts on student outcomes in capstone courses, and how this might be adapted for Commons model assessment.
I'd like to extend this invitation to all of you: if you have information about service assessment at your Commons that you would like to share, please feel free to put together a PowerPoint slide or two and send that to Rudy Leon by January 9. Because of the nature of iLinc, I will need to upload slides ahead of time. Slides are not necessary if you want to participate, or contribute! But if you do have something visual you want to share, we have the opportunity to do so.
We've scheduled 70 minutes for discussion following Don's presentation. I'm very excited about this, and hope you are as well.

The upcoming Marvel adaptation of "Ant-Man" starring Paul Rudd will also feature Chicago theater actor-turned-filmmaker David Dastmalchian, whose semi-autobiographical indie "Animals" (which examined addiction with a sly and unexpected dose of low-key comedy) screened in town earlier this spring.
Dastmalchian lives in L.A. these days but remains a Shattered Globe Theatre ensemble member. "Ant-Man" will be his second experience on a superhero movie; his film career kicked off with a memorable appearance in "The Dark Knight," playing one of the Joker's thugs.
"Ant-Man" has weathered personnel changes in recent weeks, with Peyton Reed now in place as director (he also helmed the Chicago-shot comedy "The Break-Up") and Second City alum and "Anchorman" director Adam McKay on board reworking the script. Dastmalchian says he expects to begin work in Atlanta sometime in August. "I feel very vindicated that I kept my comic book stash growing as a kid," he said Wednesday.
Dastmalchian has also landed a role in the drama "Chronic," from Mexican filmmaker Michel Franco ("After Lucia"). The film stars Tim Roth and is about a "nurse practitioner who assists terminally ill patients." The film begins shooting in a few weeks.
'Workaholics' star in new comedy
Evanston native Anders Holm (a recurring character on Fox's "The Mindy Project" and one of the co-creators and stars of Comedy Central's "Workaholics") is currently filming Nancy Meyers' latest, "The Intern, " which features Robert De Niro interning at a fashion website run by Anne Hathaway. But first Holm will be seen in the upcoming adaptation of Thomas Pynchon's "Inherent Vice" (the cast also includes "Veep" co-star and former Chicago actor Timothy Simons). According to Deadline, Holm is developing a comedy for 20th Century Fox Studios and will begin work on the fifth season of "Workaholics" in the fall.
Improv actor lands role in heist caper
Chicago improviser and iO regular Ross Kimball has landed a major break, playing one of Owen Wilson's henchmen in the heist comedy "Loomis Fargo" (a title that will reportedly change at some point), which begins shooting this month from "Napoleon Dynamite" director Jared Hess and is being produced by "Saturday Night Live's" Lorne Michaels. The film features "SNL" alums Kristen Wiig and Jason Sudeikis, plus current cast member Kate McKinnon. Zach Galifianakis and Ken Marino are in the cast as well.

Author Notes: These mini cheese cakes are a very good alternative for a cheese course. The assortment of cheeses which you would like to serve (such as Fontina, good quality Sharp Cheddar, Brie, fresh Mozzarella, Gorgonzola, Stilton or other blue cheeses) can be very successfully used instead of Ricotta, goat cheese and Pecorino Romano. I some times bake a Pesto Cheese Cake, which looks marbled like blue cheese; cut it in thin slices and serve with crackers and my Pear Carpaccio with Lemon-Lime and Mint Vinaigrette, which I made for the Pear contest, and posted here on Food52. This time I served the little cakes with a delicious, slightly spicy prepared Mango Ginger Chutney, imported from India. —Kukla
Makes: 12
For the crust and topping
• 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 3 tablespoons freshly grated Pecorino Romano cheese
• 2 cups fresh bread crumbs (about 4 slices, processed in food processor with 3/4 cup toasted nuts), I used walnuts
For the filling
• 6 slices center-cut bacon, chopped in 1/2-inch pieces
•1 cup packed, fresh whole milk Ricotta cheese,softened
• 1 cup packed, soft goat cheese
• 1/2 sour cream
• 3 large eggs, room temperature
• 1/2 cup chopped mixed fresh herbs (such as basil, mint, tarragon, rosemary, thyme, oregano and parsley), I used parsley, thyme and chives
• 1or 2 large pinches cayenne pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• Kosher or Sea salt to taste
• 2 teaspoons of lemon zest
- In a skillet, cook bacon until crispy; remove with a slotted spoon to a plate lined with paper towels.
- Line a 12-cup or two 6-cups 3-inches in diameter muffin pan with baking paper cups and lightly spray with cooking spray. Combine crust ingredients; divide evenly and lightly press 3/4 of the mixture in the bottom of the muffin cups. Chill while preparing filling.
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. In a bowl of an electric mixer combine Ricotta, goat cheese and sour cream; beat until smooth. Add eggs one at a time; beat until smooth. Transfer to a mixing bowl and stir-in herbs, lemon zest, bacon (leaving about 3 tablespoons for the top), cayenne and black pepper and salt.
- Pour evenly the cheese filling over chilled crusts into muffin cups, top with the remaining bacon and crust mixture. Bake for about 35 minutes or until the center is just set.
- Transfer to a cooling rack; cool to room temperature. Serve as a cheese course with grapes, apple or pear slices.

A couple of you have asked me to journal the process of opening Cook & Brown and becoming a professional bartender, so today I'll begin a series of (I hope) weekly updates documenting the process.
The first big news to announce is that the Bolins closed the deal on Friday, which means the restaurant is officially theirs. It was tricky to publicly discuss the location, since it was an operating restaurant. The owner told his staff on Tuesday, "Hey, we're closing tomorrow; you're canned." But with that behind us, I can announce the location: 959 Hope St., Providence.
Opening is scheduled no later than March 1. They're operating as a new business and not a turnkey operation, so it's not as simple as closing a few days to clean the kitchen. They need to repaint, make minor repairs, rebrand the exterior, thoroughly clean (especially the kitchen), hire staff, stock the restaurant and bar, etc. We could open sooner, and in fact they're hoping to open somewhere around the 20th. One thing they've decided which I think is smart is to not shoot for Valentine's Day. That's only about 3 weeks away and would require everyone to rush too much. The last thing we want is to spoil a couple's romantic evening by being unprepared. Bad hospitality, bad PR.
With the restaurant in their hands, the Bolins welcomed Jen and I up for lunch yesterday afternoon. (Jen had the holiday off.) She was eager to meet them; after all, I'll be seeing them more often than I will Jen after the restaurant opens, and she wanted to start to get to know them. As often happens when I meet up with Nemo, the conversation flew and we talked for hours.
I was eager to get behind the bar and see the setup the previous owners left behind. The Bolins agreed to buy up the place lock, stock, and Apple Pucker–which they had fun discarding over the weekend–so I wanted to get an idea of what equipment, glassware, and bar stock was left behind. (By the way, if anyone wants Purplesaurus Rex Smirnoff, let me know. I won't be needing it.)
We wound up pitching in, using razor blades and elbow grease to scrape the Restaurant Oak decals from the windows, signaling to the neighborhood that things were changing. Alas, we had to cut the conversation short. Tomorrow's our (fourth) wedding anniversary, and Jen needed to get home to start braising the oxtails we'll have for dinner.
Tomorrow, I'll be back up there, with tentative plans to meet a friend who's a distributor; he's the guy who brought Bols Genever into Rhode Island and will shortly be distributing Haus Alpenz products here–a good man to know. I've been poring over cocktail books and the Rhode Island Beverage Journal for weeks, thinking about our opening cocktail menu, and it'll be fun to sit down and talk about the practical aspects of alcohol distribution.
Also, I'm working on staffing the bar, and getting a kickass team in place. More on that later.
DISCLAIMER: I am no longer a part of Cook and Brown.

I read in an article of Erdős ("Extremal problems in number theory") that he had a proof of the multiplicative version of the Erdős-Turán conjecture. The statement of this theorem is
Let $a_1 < a_2 < \cdots$ and denote by $g(n)$ the number of solutions to $n=a_ia_j$. Then $g(n)>0$ for all $n>n_0$ implies $$\limsup_{n\to \infty} \ g(n)=\infty.$$
He also claims that this follows under the weaker assumption: let $A(x)=\sum_{a_i < x} 1$. Assume that for every $k$ we have $$\limsup_{x\to \infty} \ A(x)\left(x\left(\frac{\log\log x}{\log x}\right) ^k \right)^{-1}=\infty$$ than the same conclusion follows. However he also says that the proofs are difficult and haven't been published yet.
Since that article is from 1965 I am assuming he must have published something about this theorem afterward, but I don't have a reference. I have seen a proof of the first statement before (not by Erdős), but not the second one. Does anyone know if these proofs were published, simplified or generalized?

2009 Offseason: Rule 5 results, Manny threatens retirement
December 12, 2008 1 Comment
In the first round of the Rule 5 draft, the Red Sox selected 24-year old RHP Miguel Gonzales out of the Angels organization. SoxProspects.com already has a page on him; he throws in the low 90s with good command, mixing a slider and a changeup. He has worked as botha starter and a reliever at Double-A, but missed all of 2008 with a knee injury. He seems to be fully recovered, as he played well in the Mexican Winter League. According to Rule 5, he must stay on the Major League 40-man roster all year, or else be sent back to the Angels.

VIDEO: Relive Team USA's dominating win over Finland in slow motion
BILBAO, SPAIN — Forget the defections and the no-shows. The stars gathered here on the U.S. Men's Senior National Team already have. They did that in the lead up to the FIBA World Cup, sorting through different roles and a tweaked style of play that has been tailored to this group.
With no Kevin Durant or Kevin Love or Paul George, superstars who were expected to serve as the leaders and anchors for this competition, the U.S. put on an absolute defensive showcase in their opener, smashing Finland 114-55.
It was a show of force that this particular crew was eager to display, if only to remind themselves what they are capable of when they lock down defensively and spread the wealth offensively the way coach Mike Krzyzewski demands.
"We prepared the last couple of weeks for this moment and every single moment that we play in," James Harden said. "Practices are the same way. We go hard and when it's time to go out there we take care of business. We don't go out there to pace ourselves. We go out there with intensity from the beginning of the game."
It certainly helps to have talent like DeMarcus Cousins, Rudy Gay, Klay Thompson and even former NBA MVP Derrick Rose backing up the starters.
"That's the beauty of it," Harden continued. "That's why I said we don't pace ourselves. We go out there with the intensity from the beginning of the game and guys come off the bench with the same thing. It's the beauty of this team. We've got 10-12 guys willing to go out there and contribute in any type of way."
It also helps to open with a Finnish side that was clearly over its heads.
A thorough beating is what was expected and that and more was delivered. It's the ultimate sign of respect for not only the opponent but the game, something that has become the hallmark of the U.S. Men's Senior National Team under Coach K and during their 55-game win streak in World Cup (formerly World Championship) competition.
Play up to the magnitude of the moment and the results will be what they will be. No short cuts, no letting up and as we saw against Finland and have seen often in recent years, no mercy.
If you're going to be the overwhelming favorite every time you take the floor and face hostile crowds on foreign soil, you might as well embrace that part of the process, too.
When the U.S. was busy crushing Finland with a smothering second quarter defensive display (a basket-free 29-2 surge that forced the crowd into the reality that any upset hopes were officially doomed) the joy on the floor and from the bench was obvious.
"Our coaches were encouraging us to keep up that effort by telling us every timeout, every dead ball, they only had two points or whatever," Stephen Curry said. "That's just motivation to keep doing what we're doing. Defensively, that's going to be the key for us throughout this tournament. We're going to make some shots and we're going to miss some shots every night. It's just a matter of how our defensive effort is every night to get where we want to go."
And while some teams with reasonably young and in some cases unproven stars, at least in the context of international competition, might succumb to the sort of electric crowd that greeted the U.S. Saturday, Curry loved it.
He was an integral part of the team that won gold in Turkey in 2010 and played before a hostile home crowd there in the final game.
"It was awesome," he said of the crowd that stayed mostly silent as they piled on Finland. "They were energetic regardless of the score. It seemed like every basket Finland made was a game winner. That's the beauty of the World Cup and it being here in Spain. A lot of teams fans can travel and see their teams play and support them. It brings a great atmosphere and one that we love to play in."
Things get a bit trickier now with back-to-back games, the U.S. faces Turkey Sunday. But if any team in this competition is prepared for that grind, it's the U.S.
"We've got to bring the same energy and effort against a good Turkey team we have a lot of history with," Curry said. "So we're looking forward to it."

text: This is all huge decibel junk man. So any centrifugal fan is out of the question if it produces that much noise right next to my desk :) In general spoken i don't understand why so many persons accept from manufacturers those huge soundlevels. The fans i got here, the 18 CM ones are 700 RPM @ 19 decibel, you don't hear them. The 1500 RPM aerocools 12 CM, you do hear them, but with their own rubbers and 1.5 meters away it's acceptable noise, though it depends upon the heatsinks you got a lot and i had to buy some floor isolating material that absorbs a lot of decibels, to quiet down things more. Requirement 1 is : it must be low noise of course. Would be very bad to have something of 60-100 decibel next to professional sound equipment.

An animal-rights group has sent letters threatening legal action to two Orange County chefs who serve foie gras.
The chefs serve fattened duck liver at Arc in Costa Mesa and Broadway by Amar Santana in Laguna Beach, drawing the ire of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA).
California banned the sale and purchase of fattened duck liver on July 1, but chefs Noah Blom of Arc and Santana found what they believe are legal ways to continue serving the French delicacy to their customers.
"No one has the right to tell people what to eat or not eat," Santana said. "Just because you're vegetarian, vegan or love animals, it doesn't mean your neighbor feels the same way."
Santana was offering a free side of foie gras with an order of a $55 glass of wine.
"The wine is very popular," Santana said.
Last week, Broadway served 50 orders of wine and went through about 12 pounds of foie gras, Santana said.
PETA, however, took issue with the chefs' efforts to continue serving the dish.
"You should not think that you can skirt the law's prohibition on sales by 'giving away' foie gras to customers or providing it 'for free with the purchase of a $55 glass of Sauternes," PETA attorney Matthew Strugar wrote in an April 8 letter to Santana.
Santana is flouting the law, Strugar said in an interview.
"The ball's in their court. We will seek enforcement in any way we can," Strugar said. "We're not just going to go away."
Blom received a similar letter for using foie gras in some of his off-menu dishes.
He was rendering foie gras into a sauce for a 42-ounce steak dish and said because the ingredient wasn't a focal point of the item it wasn't advertised on the menu.
"People don't even know they're getting until it's on the plate. That's where PETA and I disagree," Blom said.
As long as foie gras is in a dish that is sold, it is illegal, Strugar said.
"If you order a side salad, and it's listed as a salad, and you get tomatoes, nobody thinks you're getting free tomatoes," Strugar said. "If it's part of a dish which he is charging money for, it's a sale, it's a transaction and it's prohibited."
Prohibiting ingredients that add a great element to a dish takes the passion and love out of what chefs do, Blom said.
Instead, opponents have merely driven up demand for the foie gras, he said.
"PETA has made it more sought-after, creating this cult craze," Blom said.
Irvine-based Tasting Spoon food truck chef Joe Youkhan said he sold nearly 100 orders, or 28 pounds of foie gras, selling out in less than four hours, on June 30, the last day to buy or sell foie gras in California.
An earlier version of this story reported that the 28 pounds of foie gras was sold on June 31. That date does not exist.
"Customers came out specifically because they knew it was going to be the last day and others wanted to try it because they knew it would be banned," Youkhan said.
Although the ban is in effect, Blom and Santana agree that it is not uncommon for Orange County chefs to prepare foie gras for their diners who bring the ingredient to the restaurant or for regular customers that chefs have come to trust.
"Now that I'm on the radar with PETA, I'm more careful," Santana said. "I think they're sending people already to order it and try to catch me in action."
Strugar could not confirm PETA was sending in representatives to order foie gras at Santana's restaurant but confirmed PETA does occasionally send in people to see if allegations are true, including to Hot's Kitchen in Hermosa Beach which PETA is suing.

From the earliest of times, painted eggs have been exchanged at Easter, from the ancient Egyptians, Greeks and Romans, Sportsbook to the Persians, Chinese and the Saxons – they were all at it! The egg itself (as a gift) has continued to evolve over the centuries from dyed goose eggs, to beautifully decorated papier-mâché eggs in the 17th and 18th centuries. Fabergé, of course, hit the heights of man-made eggs with his jewel-encrusted works of art. But the online betting most exciting evolution for us happened in Europe in the early 1800s when chocolate Easter eggs first started to appear. However, being made from fairly basic, gritty dark chocolate, they were still worlds away from our modern day Easter eggs. It wasn't until 1873 that the first mass-produced egg appeared, the Cadbury Easter egg. And we had to wait until 1905 for the first milk chocolate egg to appear. Who'd have guessed that march madness our love affair with chocolate Easter eggs, Easter baskets and the Easter Bunny had such ancient roots? And in 2008 the Easter egg takes another step forward with Hotel Chocolat's gorgeous range, including cute Egg Sandwiches, beautiful Cocoa Pod Eggs, Extra Thick Eggs and the enormous Extra Large Easter Eggs.

UK Prime Minister David Cameron is hoping to teach US President Barack Obama a thing or two about the iPad.
According to a report in the Telegraph, Cameron is keen to show Obama an iPad app, known as "Number 10 dashboard".
The app is described in a case study on this civil service website. Number 10 dashboard "was designed to give the Prime Minister, other Ministers, and senior Whitehall officials an at-a-glance overview of everything that's happening in government and elsewhere," explains the article.
"The dashboard is an internet application which the Prime Minister views on his iPad. With a few taps or swipes of his fingers, he can see very quickly what important new information has come to light, how certain government services are performing, and a selection of relevant and important news reports."
According to Alice Newton, who worked on the dashboard project, Cameron particularly liked the statistical side: "Where we could give him quotable facts about what was going on," she added: "He found it useful to have a hard evidence base."
"He liked it so much, he was looking forward to showing it to President Obama at the G8 summit," she revealed.
Cameron has helped with the development of the software by giving feedback. A source told the BBC: "He's used it, given feedback on it to help improve it - and there is now great demand for it right across government."
The Telegraph report notes that Cameron is a fan of the iPad, and has apparently been criticised for spending too much time playing Fruit Ninja.
The UK government aren't alone in using the iPad. The company tasked with managing the debt restructuring of Greece devised a process that used iPads because it enabled the decision makers to have access to the necessary tools and secure connections when on the road.

This is in reference to the Associated Press article, �US adoptive moms get their Russian kids� (Telegram & Gazette, Feb. 10).
Is adoption of children, citizens of other countries, the same as 11 million children of illegals� proposed path to citizenship? Do these children become citizens by adoption, or when do they apply to be naturalized? They will be raised with the last names of the parents who adopted them, like a naturalized citizen, thus circumventing citizenship.
Are there not a lot of available citizens of the U.S., or is there a shortage in the U.S. of native-born children?
The Russian children are being brought here and raised by citizens, but they are Russian. What about 11 million children brought here by illegals as children, being given a path to citizenship over legal citizens? Are the 11 million illegals all these years being deported as illegals, or are they given legal status, ahead of legal immigrants, who come here and wait seven years, learn English, and are sworn in, in court by a federal judge?
This is not democratic; this is political football.
There is enough corruption now in our immigration program, statewide and nationally. There are issues with voting, school tuition, driver�s licenses, welfare payments � on and on.
My family came to the U.S. in 1644, from Germany; legal immigrants. Does our Constitution not apply anymore?

This beautiful contemporary 8 bedroom villa is situated a hillside between Ibiza town and San Jose. The 12 x 7 metre pool is located to the rear of the property with a large comfortable sitting area and chill out zone. In addition you have the luxury of a private floodlit tennis court with its own cabana.
Is Ibiza the new foodie capital of Europe?
The glorious island of Ibiza was once only known for its party culture but has come a long way since then. After returning from our visit there in September we are delighted to report that it now boasts an incredibly vibrant food culture. Some of the worlds most famous chefs are now opening restaurants on the Island including Boris Buono's Taller de Tapas (Boris is ex Noma, the worlds number one). This is a relaxed tapas restaurant using fresh local ingredients and featuring natural wines. Ferran Adria of el Bulli fame oversees the kitchens at Heart Ibiza, one of the most spectacular cabaret venues in the world, and now there is even a new Nobu Hotel and Restaurant.
Ibiza has a flourishing organic food culture with farm to table restaurants popping up all around the island, El Portolon being just one example and health food restaurants and juice bars in nearly every town and village. For beach restaurants there are still the usual suspects including Nikki Beach, Blue Marlin and el Chiringuito and we can highly recommend Tropicana, a real toes in the sand experience, quiet and relaxed with really fresh food, or Babylon Beach, a lovely family restaurant.
We have partnered with a superb food and drink villa delivery company who can supply anything and everything, and for the discerning wine buffs there is now a superb wine merchant, Somm in Santa Gertrudis, run by one of the worlds top sommeliers.
On top of all this Ibiza boasts stunning beaches, quaint villages, great shopping and some of the most amazing holiday villas in Europe.
When you are on holiday you want a stress free time so your own personal concierge provides that little bit of extra luxury. Whether it be recommending and booking local restaurants before you get to your villa, making sure that your arrival is smooth organizing airport transfers and a rental car delivered to you and that the fridges are full or advising on day trips, sightseeing, shopping and beaches then your concierge is there to help.
For some people leisurely trawling of local food markets and then cooking at home is an ideal part of the holiday and our experts can advise the best places to go. If however you never want to see a food shop or market then we can organize fresh food deliveries for your arrival and during your stay, pre cooked meal deliveries or, the ultimate indulgence is your own private chef or cook as well as a waiter or butler and we have a selection of some of the best.
Sometimes just gazing at the water isn't enough. For the active we can help to organize water skiing, wake boarding, kite surfing snorkeling and diving or for those wishing to relax on a boat we can organize day charters of motor yachts or sail boats for exploring or simply people watching.
In most destinations we can organise the ultimate in pampering. Perhaps a beautician for that essential pedicure, or hairdresser for a blow dry before that special dinner. We have excellent proven service providers or we can even get them to come to your villa, perhaps even a relaxing massage by the pool. If fitness is your thing then we know the best local gyms, yoga and Pilates classes or we can organise private instructors to visit your villa.

Costa rejects Scolari claims
Atletico Madrid striker Costa has elected to play at international level for Spain, where he has played club football since 2007, rather than his native Brazil.
Costa was rewarded for a stellar 2013-14 season with Atletico - which saw him score 36 goals in all competitions and help the club to their first Liga title since 1996 - with a place in Vicente del Bosque's 23-man squad for the World Cup.
The 25-year-old's decision to declare for his adopted homeland caused plenty of controversy, and Scolari appeared to stoke the fire earlier in the week by saying he had told Costa he would be included in Brazil's World Cup squad before he pledged allegiance to Spain.
However, Costa has refuted the Brazil boss' comments, while insisting he will give his all for Spain as they seek to defend the trophy they won for the first time in South Africa four years ago.
"Scolari never called me by telephone," said the forward, who played in two friendlies for Brazil in March 2013.
"The only coach that I spoke with was Del Bosque, who showed interest in me, invited me for a meal and made me realise that I was in his plans.
"I am Brazilian and that is not going to change, but I want to win the World Cup with Spain."

LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Michael Ansara, a television and movie actor whose roles included a Klingon on "Star Trek," has died.
A longtime friend and spokesman for Ansara says the actor died Wednesday at his home in Calabasas, Calif. after a long illness. He was 91.
Ansara's family emigrated from Syria when he was 2 years ago, according to published reports. The family settled in Lowell, Mass. for a decade before moving to California.
Besides the "Star Trek" role, Ansara appeared on dozens of TV shows, including "Broken Arrow," "Law of the Plainsman," "I Dream of Jeannie," "Hawaii 5-0" and "Murder, She Wrote."
His film credits include "Julius Caesar," "Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea," "The Greatest Story Ever Told" and "The Comancheros" with John Wayne.
Ansara was predeceased by his son, Matthew, with former wife Barbara Eden. He is survived by his wife of 36 years, Beverly, a sister and a niece and nephew.

LAKEWOOD RANCH, Fla. (Nov. 9, 2013) - In the team's final weekend of fall play, junior Lyn Yee Choo (Kuching, Malaysia) gave the ETSU women's tennis squad a premiere win to build upon heading into spring competition.
Choo picked up a marquee win on the second day of the Dick Vitale Intercollegiate Clay Court Classic, beating 35th-ranked Britney Sanders of Notre Dame, 6-0, 4-6, 10-2.
The win marked the highest-ranked opponent Choo has even beaten.
"Today's win will give Tessie the belief that she can win against these top-ranked players," ETSU head coach Travis Sandlant said. "She has played these types of players close all year, so it's good to see her finally pull one out."
Teammate Ana Gerbasi (Caracas, Venezuela) was unable to overcome a narrow first set loss, falling to Princeton's Sivan Crems, 7-6 (7-3), 6-1.
Over the two days of competition in the tournament, Choo has amassed a singles record of 2-1, while Gerbasi went 0-3. Together, Choo and Gerbasi competed in doubles play, falling to Notre Dame's Molly O'Koniewski and Julie Sabacinski, 6-2, 7-5.
Despite the mixed results of the weekend, Sandlant is looking forward to building upon these performances as the team looks ahead to spring competition.
"It's the last tournament for the year," Sandlant said. "We are going to stay fit and work on our explosiveness before we start back up for spring."
Sivan Crems (Princeton) d. Gerbasi, 7-6 (7-3), 6-1
