Aladdin didn't call Mogamett a good person, he called him a gentle one.
Mogamett isn't mislead by his ideals, since all he does is care for the people he deems most worthy. He isn't illnatured like the people who are guided by "black ruth".
The problem is that the difference between good and bad is a matter of perspective. The rukh aren't drawn to what we call the overall justice of the world, they are drawn to pure motives.

And so with Titus getting a new kitty to play with, he's suspicions on Dumblemort will quickly die down. It's actually a great play on his part, give the kid what he wants and he'll shut up, it's like a parent to a whiny child.
That said, Aladdin is now pretty much the only known one in that place that sees Dumblemort for what he really is. He was not wrong when he said the guy was a gentle person, he seems to truly love Magicians and has only thoughts of protecting and bettering them, the problem is simply how he views Goi as animals.
The way he treated those kids, it bothered me quite a lot...you cannot say a person is good and kind after treating children like that, even if they were really animals...
And one thing I noticed, Dumblemort referred to Magi as Legendary Magicians, in other words he considers Magi to be to same "species" as him, despite Magi being obviously superior (I really wanna see what Aladdin can do with his full power now, he should be quite devastating what with knowing how to properly work with magic but now without any magoi restrictions). I was actually expecting Magi to be placed above magicians in their mind...but I guess in Dumblemort's mind, Magicians are pretty much at the top of the food chain and anything stronger is simply a small and rare part of his species.
I really want to see how Aladdin solves this, his allies are diminishing and joining Dumblemort's belief's or being distracted like Titus (who I doubt with complain for a while having a new pet to play with).

So At the very youngest she would be 42. More likely she is in the 50's at the youngest. Probably keeps young with magic.

For anyone interested in the ethical question of whether it could ever be acceptable to treat an innocent child horribly for the greater good, I recommend the award winning short story "The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas" by Ursula K. LeGuin.
(It is an educational site so I assume linking to it is acceptable.)

A perfectly reasonable desire, XFire, but would you really blow it up knowing tens of thousands might die in the upheaval, hundreds of innocent children starve to death, and whatever members of your family unlucky enough to survive would live out their days in abject poverty?

@Misconceptions of the system
Firstly, there is zero indication that most young ones die early like Marga. I am not sure where people pull that idea from, but the existance of young of non-dying young children is shown again and againm and the fact that there are actual youths (like in the teens) in the 5th would indicate that MOST 5th goi do not die young. Only people born with low Magoi, like Marga (or Morgiana if she was born here), would die young. Mogarett already said that death rates are far lower than it was before, this cannot be true of the young are dying en masse (considering the amount of screwing going on in the 5th, I doubt there is a lack of for such data to be "invisible").
Secondly, I don't really see the chancellor as a "Nazi". Again, he is more of a colonialist who thinks that the "barely human savages" should live under the "enlightened rule" of their betters. Replace "Magicians and Goi" with "Americans/Europeans and Rest of the World", and you have the thinking that still persists in some circles till this day. I think there should be clarity on the difference between "Colonialist" thinking and actual "Nazi" thinking. Mostly because, Nazi is such a loaded word that it becomes thought terminating these days. He already said he is not out to abuse or kill all the Goi (that would make him Nazi), he merely thinks that the Goi are not capable of ruling themselves and needs to be kept down permanently for the good of everyone, including the Goi themselves (that is Colonialist thinking).
Thirdly, Mogarett doesn't have black rukh because he seriously believed in what he is doing. He does sincerely want a place for Magicians. The girl from Kou already said how she is seen as a freak back at home, while Sphintus showed us how Magicians are being used by non-Magicians for political purposes, then discarded. All I can say again, is that Mogarett is basically what Magneto is originally, before they watered down his character. I don't see how he mentions he is "superior of Scheherazade", he merely says that he wants to help people with magical potential like Yamu and Scheherazade to avoid the fate of being exploited by the Goi for their own ends. Note that if Yamu really IS burning her own lifespan to help Sinbad, I would consider Sinbad to be as horrible as the Mustaphim nobility in terms of exploitation. And from what I see of Sinbad, that is totally within what he is capable of if it protects his Kingdom.
Of course, his view of seeing Goi as merely animals is detestable. But as Aladdin said, this makes him beyond good and evil...just...well...crazy...with some good intentions and alot of trauma from his own past.
@How to solve the problem
Ultimately, the question is really complex here. "Blowing shit up" isn't going to save anyone. To save everyone, the real difficult questions are as follows.
1) Without the magoi contributions to the magical devices, how is the nation supposed to maintain the level of crop production that made it possible to feed everyone? Remember, the 5th Goi are no longer subjected to things like famine, despite their unproductivity. One of the defining features of the current regime is that the Goi basically pay for their own food with their Magoi (which is actually fairer than forcing magicians to use their Magoi on crops for the sake of the Goi). Blowing stuff up merely will cause mass famine for everyone, including the Goi that such an action is meant to help.
2) Despite the unhappiness of some of the young 5th at a destiny they never chose for themselves. A large population of the 5th do not want to be productive, as seen on the "field trip" of the magician students. They will never get such an impression if most of the 5th Goi actually want out.
More problematically, they had been unproductive for a long time (10 years). That amount of time being unproductive make people lose essential skills that are needed for work. Especially if a majority had not farmed in years? More importantly, the young of the 5th have absolutely ZERO skills to speak of. By releasing them from this system, how are they suppose to find employment or be productive when they don't even know how to farm?
Everyone can say that everybody can pick up themselves by their bootstraps, but people who think like that never saw people who have been out of the labour market for decades. In reality, "going back to work" after a prolonged period of "not working" is difficult. This is due to the suden liefstyle change and the fact that these people do not possess the skill that is in demand by the economy by then.
3) The 5th Goi youths might be unhappy with their current existance. Yet the real question is that under the old Mustaphim, would their lot really be any different? Right now, they are fed, given medical care and kept warm, but are condemned to a life of unproductivity and zero opportunity. Under the old monachy, they would be hungry, vulnerable to disease and cold, while still being condemned to a life of slaving in the fields with almost no other opportunity. Any "blowing up" of a system like this requires answering how are things such as opportunity are supposed to be afforded to the youths of 5th?
4) What kind of status should the Magicians have in this new system? While I do not buy Mogarett's idea that they are fundamentally a different species from the normal humans, the fact is that their abilities already make them functionally different from normal humans. As a result, equality of treatment is nearly impossible, in the light of their natural abilities that normal humans do not have. Are they obliged to help the Goi at the expense of their own lives when there are natural disasters (like in the old Monarchy), just because they have the power to? How are we supposed to prevent the exploitation of the magicians by the masses? Right now the system basically make every 5th Goi "substitute" the livelihood of other 5th Goi by draining Magoi indiscriminately, instead of the old way of making the Magicians "substitute" the livelihood of the Goi by burning down their lives. In some sense, it is actually fairer than it was before.
If it was up to popular vote, the Magicians would almost always be outvoted on situations in which the magicians would sacrifice for the "greater good". Democracy does not necessary solve that problem, without basic decency from the electorate (which is lacking, seeing how they behaved in the old Kingdom). In a non-magician-ruled kingdom, the Kings/Aristocrats would always monoplize and oppress the Magicians as they are the key to political power, which would have led us back to the Mustashim situation. So, how do we make sure there is no repeat of such shit?
I am interested to see what kind of proposal people who want to "blow up the system" have to answering such issues.

Though to be perfectly honest, I'd probably forgo physical destruction as opposed to freeing the child and leaving the city to it's fate. Either they abandon or die with the city, or they try to get someone else to replace the child. And I'm sure that wouldn't start a civil war or anything.

Dude she's like, two hundred years old.
I'm not certain Dumberdumb realize just how Magi is on a totally different plane of existence.
I'm willing to bet her REAL age is in triple digits, if not quad.
I mean, the Al-Sarmen in meetings talked centuries like it was mere week ago, not to mention one of the magician when confronted with Aladdin pretty much verified he existed since the ancient days of Solomon.

Depends on what the intention is in behind 'blowing up the system'. It's easy to say, 'Kill em all and let God sort them out' - it denotes a lack of wanting the responsibility for all the lives ruined by that act. It's one thing to lack a certain basic skill because of being lazy and slothful and it's one's own damn fault. It's another thing to place the same sort of blame on someone who doesn't know anything else BUT to be slothful because that's all they've ever known. On a black and white scale, both are still wrong. Question is, what to do about it?
To get a truly perfect system on this earth is impossible all because 'someone' will buck it. Yet, to have a nigh perfect system rest upon someone who has NO chance of escaping having the weight of living negatively from everyone one else, or even receiving relief from it can't be a truly perfect city.
I can only suggest broad things to do for 5th and unfortunately, many people will not survive the change. Only those who want to change themselves will find the strength to move past it. You won't be able to save everyone in that city because not everyone wants to be saved. Does it make you wrong that you will basically let them die in favor of the others that will follow? It's common sense to do it - salvage what you can and count your losses. Saving everyone is impossible, even God won't be able to save everyone in the end (Hell exists for a reason, ya know). It might seem callous but only if you don't put our upmost effort into trying to save as many as possible.
So, what would I do? Make them uncomfortable - take away their comforts that they've come to rely on. Break them off at a measured pace that gets them agitated enough to start questioning and wondering. You then show them what is needed for them to get the food that they are hungry for. You show them the work that needs to be done. Yes, many of them will turn their noses up and refuse to work but the age-old trial of 'No Work, No Eat' hasn't become out-dated. If they don't at least attempt to help, then they won't eat. They'll probably need a lot of time to get used to that concept. Good work is rewarded with a simple wage of having enough to eat, bad work is corrected/retrained and cheating/laziness is punished severely. I'm not suggesting a completely totalitarian or a socialist state - there are so many little tweaks that need to be in there that should be applied, but it's late and I don't want to go into that right now.

He said:
"But...It doesn't matter if she is Magi or not"
"That's right, what that matters is that she thinks she must sacrifice herself (for the sake of the Goi) due to her "special powers", thinking that it is what she wants and what she must do."
"I am sad is for these magician children (that think this way)..."
"I am anxious for them.."
"I want to help them!"
I don't think he is under any illusion that the Magi are far stronger than he is. However, what he wants to free them off is the idea that they (meaning all Magicians, including the Magi) should sacrifice themselves for the Goi, just like he did in the past. It is a ideology thing than a superiority thing. To him, it is like stopping a person from doing a suicidal attempt to help a lost/stupid cause. Note that he also refered to Yamu and other magician children towards the end.
We all know that he already dropped the bomb that Yamu could possibly die young from how she helps Sindaria. From what we know of Sinbad, I think he would totally do that if it means further securing Sindaria. Then there is always the possibility that Yamu simply keeps it from Sinbad that she is burning her own lifespan to help a nation she loves.
I think you are making it sound more unreasonable then it is.

Heck, even Scheherazade isn't fully confirmed to be a Magi yet at this stage. Who knows the reality behind that?
Sure, Zeus can vaporize me in a instant if he exists, doesn't stop me from still thinking or even saying that he shouldn't have f***ed around left and right. If I actually challenged him to a duel, then yeah I am in over my head. However, commenting/calling him out on what I think he does wrong? Not so much.

He thinks Yamu is supplying the magoi herself.
He's not even aware that Sindbad, you know, the friggin' MAGOI TANK SUPERSTAR is actually pitching in.

As for how to stop him... you don't need to blow up his whole city. You just need bring him down. Once Aladdin or someone else defeats him, things will move from there. With some modifications to make things more fair for the goi the system could even be left in place. After the all, they don't need to treat them like livestock and force them to stay there for the system to work. They do that right now just due to Mogamett's prejudice.

Switching wsconsole screens with Alt-Fn in NetBSD and OpenBSD
1a. Introduction.
The Linux console provides a number of "virtual terminals" (VTs) which can be accessed with the key combination Alt-Fn (n=1,2,...). FreeBSD provides a similar facility with the same keystrokes.
In NetBSD and OpenBSD the default console is called wsconsole (short for WorkStation console), and provides several virtual screens that are accessed with the key combination Ctrl-Alt-Fn.
Neither of these two key combinations is "right or wrong", and which is "better" depends on what you're used to. New users coming to NetBSD or OpenBSD who are used to the Linux convention Alt-Fn may find it frustrating to have to also press Ctrl- to switch screens. This can be particularly true when simultaneously working on two machines which use different conventions.
This guide will show how to change the NetBSD or OpenBSD screen switching keys to Alt-Fn, which I find to be easier. The basic principles on the two OS's are the same, but the syntax differs in places.
1b. Purpose and scope.
This guide is intended to be practical, rather than perfect.
2a. Changing the NetBSD key map on the fly.
This subsection focuses on NetBSD. The modifications for OpenBSD are summarized in the next subsection.
The keyboard mapping can be inspected, and changed, using the wsconsctl(8) command as root. For NetBSD this command may use the -k flag to access the keyboard (rather than the mouse or display), but -k can be left off since it's the default.
The existing keyboard map can be inspected with
# wsconsctl -k map | less
Of particular interest to the topic at hand is to find map entries containing the items Cmd1, Cmd2 and Cmd. For example, on my machine I get this output:
# wsconsctl map | grep Cmd1
keycode 29 = Cmd1 Control_L
# wsconsctl map | grep Cmd2
keycode 56 = Cmd2 Alt_L
This means the left Ctrl key also acts as Cmd1 and the left Alt key also acts as Cmd2. By default, Cmd1 and Cmd2 are both required together with Fn to switch virtual screens.
We want to change this so there is only a single Cmd key required, on Alt. I'll show how to do this in the context of the above example; if your keycodes are different, then make the appropriate changes. To do this we get rid of Cmd1 on left Ctrl (keycode 29), get rid of Cmd2 on left Alt (keycode 56) and add Cmd to left Alt. This can be done with the commands:
# wsconsctl -w map+="keycode 29 = Control_L"
# wsconsctl -w map+="keycode 56 = Cmd Alt_L"
The -w flag tells wsconsctl to write the changes to the map.
Doing the above should allow any wsconsole commands previously accessible with Ctrl-Alt-* to be invoked with just left Alt-*, including switching screens with Alt-Fn, but this will only stay in effect for the current boot-up.
2b. Modifications for OpenBSD.
On OpenBSD, wsconsctl has no -k or -w flags. The syntax is
# wsconsctl keyboard.map | less
etc., and
# wsconsctl keyboard.map+="keycode 29 = Control_L"
# wsconsctl keyboard.map+="keycode 56 = Cmd Alt_L"
You may want to change Control_R and Alt_R as well.
3. Making the changes permanent.
If you want these changes to take effect automatically every time you boot, put them in the appropriate config files.
I begin with NetBSD. First, define a keyboard map file by adding the following line, or similar, into /etc/wscons.conf,
mapfile /etc/wscons-keymap.local
# Change Cmd_ "prefix" from Ctrl+Alt- to Alt- (all Left) # This is done by using Cmd rather than Cmd1 and Cmd2 ! # Remove first entry Cmd1 on RHS for left Control key: keycode 29 = Control_L # Remove first entry Cmd2 on RHS for left Alt key, and add Cmd: keycode 56 = Cmd Alt_L # Above could make Alt-Esc enter the debugger (dangerous?) # so let's turn off this capability which I never use anyway. # Remove first entry Cmd_Debugger on RHS: keycode 1 = Escape
Turning to OpenBSD, it's only necessary to modify a single config file,
to which changes in the form variable+=value are added, e.g.:
keyboard.map+="keycode 29 = Control_L" keyboard.map+="keycode 56 = Cmd Alt_L" keyboard.map+="keycode 1 = Escape"
wscons.conf(5) [NetBSD]
wsconsctl.conf(5) [OpenBSD]
OpenBSD FAQ Section 7.1 is minimalist.
5. Disclaimers.
* I have had this not work on an HP USB wireless keyboard.
* I never tried to change the Linux keys to Ctrl-Alt-Fn.
* I don't have a deep understanding of BSD wsconsole key mapping, as I didn't find any clear, friendly and thorough documentation. A study of the source code may be needed to learn more.
* Comments, criticisms, suggestions, etc., are welcome.

Just for clarification, IdOp is referring to the typical F1-F12 function keys, not the Fn modifier key found in laptops.
Thanks for the clarification, BSDfan666. I missed the potential for confusion due to not having a laptop. I added some colour in the first paragraph to emphasize your point, but didn't put an upper limit of 12 since not that many screens are configured by default.

Barefooted Friends (Korean: 맨발의 친구들) is a South Korean reality-variety show; a part of SBS's Good Sunday lineup, along with Running Man. It was first aired on April 21, 2013. The show is an "real outdoor hardship variety"; a spin on typical outdoor variety shows. The members travel to foreign countries to experience "real happiness" with locals. The words, Barefooted is supposed to mean essence, sincerity, and real hardships, where as Friends not only represents the cast, but the locals that are met as well. It has garnered attention as being the come-back program for Kang Ho-dong, the main MC of the program, after leaving Good Sunday's X-Man in April 2007.

Comments please, re: feeding..
Hello to all,
I have a 3 yr old Gordon Setter (Ozzy) and a 4 yr old Irish Setter (Chase). For the past year or so, we have been feeding them the following twice a day
- dry kibble (1st 5 ingredients...Chicken, Chicken meal, Cracked pearled barley, Millet, Brewer's rice) = approx. 8 oz
- canned (various brands/flavours) = approx. 5 oz.
- boiled rice = about 2 heaping scoops using a tablespoon from my cutlery set (not a measuring spoon)
- plain yogurt = about 1 heaping scoop
- occasionally some table scraps (a few morsels given as treats away from the table)
Anything particularly wrong with the above menu??
I want to start introducing boiled meats & veggies into their diet but I haven't yet been able to convince the hubby to go strictly homecooking so I was wondering what ratio of kibble, canned & cooked meat/veggies I can set them up with that would give them the nutritution they need.
My Gordon is a little overweight at 86 lbs; my Irish is about 78 lbs.
Thanks for any info.
I would say to omit the rice as there's already more barley, millet, & rice combined than meat in the dry food you are already feeding. You can top off their meals with meat and veggies (vegetables should be blended or juiced for optimal digestion, not fed in chunks). What kind of canned food are you using?
"Education is a progressive discovery of our own ignorance." -Will Durant
Hi Thanks for info.
As to the canned, it varies to brand and flavours. It depends on what the hubby decides to buy on his way home from work. It could be any national or store brand. Anything that is a firm texture as the dogs do not do well on anything that contains gravy. We try to keep their total intake of food during the day (including treats) at around 2-3% of their body weight.
When the hubby is home (he works & resides out of town 3 days a week), he is in control of their feeding. On the QT, I want to try different feedings when he is away so, at the moment, I am preparing to boil 1 lb ground pork with about 8 oz fresh turnip. When this mixture is drained and cooled, I was going to add a small amount of leftover mashed potato and a couple hard boiled eggs. I agree with you about the rice. His sister gives her sled dogs rice so he believes he should also. I will have to try and talk him out of it. Anyway, my thoughts regarding the concoction I am mixing up is to give them maybe about 1/4 to 1/3 cup with each of their next feedings of dry kibble (8 oz); canned (5 oz), including the dollop of yogurt. I am hoping this will not upset them too much. If they become out-of-sorts for any reason, Im in trouble.

The World's Deadliest Distinction
Why aren't the oldest living people getting any older?
This article arises from Future Tense,a collaboration among Arizona State University, the New America Foundation, and Slate.
Last month, a 114-year-old former schoolteacher from Georgia named Besse Cooper became the world's oldest living person. Her predecessor, Brazil's Maria Gomes Valentim, was 114 when she died. So was the oldest living person before her, and the one before her. In fact, eight of the last nine "world's oldest" titleholders were 114 when they achieved the distinction. Here's the morbid part: All but two were still 114 when they passed it on. Those two? They died at 115.
The celebration surrounding Cooper when she assumed the title, then, might as well have been accompanied by condolences. If historical trends hold, she will likely be dead within a year.
It's no surprise that it's hard to stay the "world's oldest" for very long. These people are, after all, really old. What's surprising is just how consistent the numbers have been. Just seven people whose ages could be fully verified by the Gerontology Research Group have ever made it past 115. Only two of those seven lived to see the 21st century. The longest-living person ever, a French woman named Jeanne Calment, died at age 122 in August 1997; no one since 2000 has come within five years of matching her longevity.
The inventor Ray Kurzweil, famous for bold predictions that occasionally come true, estimated in 2005 that, within 20 years, advances in medical technology would enable humans to extend their lifespans indefinitely. With six years gone and 14 to go, his prophecy doesn't seem that much closer to coming true. What happened to modern medicine giving us longer lives? Why aren't we getting any older?
We are living longer—at least, some of us are. Life expectancies in most countries not ravaged by AIDS have been rising gradually for decades, and the average American today can expect to live 79 years—four years longer than the average in 1990. In many developed countries, the superold are among the fastest-growing demographics. (There is evidence that this progress may be grinding to a halt among some demographics, however.) But raising the upper bounds of the human lifespan is turning out to be trickier than increasing the average person's life expectancy. This may be a case where, as with flying cars, a popular vision of technological progress runs afoul of reality's constraints.
In the past few years, the global count of supercentenarians—people 110 and older—has leveled off at about 80. And the maximum age hasn't budged. Robert Young, senior gerontology consultant for the Guinness Book of World Records, says, "The more people are turning 110, the more people are dying at 110."
Young calls this the "rectangularization of the mortality curve." To illustrate it, he points to Japan, which in 1990 had 3,000 people aged 100 and over, with the oldest being 114. Twenty years later, Japan has an estimated 44,000 people over the age of 100—and the oldest is still 114. For reasons that aren't entirely clear, Young says, the odds of a person dying in any given year between the ages of 110 and 113 appear to be about one in two. But by age 114, the chances jump to more like two in three.
It's still possible that the barrier will eventually go the way of the four-minute mile. Steve Austad, a former lion tamer who is now a professor at the University of Texas Health Science Center, argues the apparent spike in mortality at age 114 is merely a statistical artifact. Today's oldest humans, he's reminds us, grew up without the benefit of 20th-century advances in nutrition and medicine. In 2000, he bet fellow gerontologist S. Jay Olshansky $500 million that someone born that year, somewhere in the world, would live to be 150. Olshansky, an Illinois at Chicago professor who wrote about the paradox of longevity for Slate last fall, doesn't expect to be around in 2150 to collect his winnings. Even a cure for cancer or heart disease would do little to extend the maximum length of human life, he argues, because there are simply too many risk factors that pile up by the time a person is 115 years old. He believes supercentenarians owe their longevity more to freakish genes than perfect health; the 122-year-old Calment smoked cigarettes for 96 years. Olshansky and Austad agree on one point: A technological breakthrough, perhaps in the realm of genetics, that slows the aging process could send life spans surging upward.
Is such a discovery imminent? At this point, the question is little more than a Rorschach. Young, the Guinness World Records consultant, compares the quest for superlongevity to the efforts of alchemists in the Middle Ages to turn lead into gold. They were right to think it was possible, but wrong to imagine they had any idea where to begin: Scientists finally succeeded in transmuting elements in the 20th century only after first unlocking nuclear physics. By that time, alchemy was largely irrelevant; the real trick was splitting uranium atoms.
The same may be true of enabling humans to live to 150. Age, it's worth remembering, is more than just a number. Young, who has spent time with dozens of supercentenarians, says even the hardiest humans turn frail by 110. As for Besse Cooper, the new world titleholder, Young reports that she can still talk, though her eyesight is failing. "As a quality-of-life issue, I think she could handle another year. I've seen some that, bless their hearts, probably shouldn't be here anymore."

The National League and American Rookie of the Year Awards will be named shortly. It hasn't been a busy day in Mets history as they've only had four winners: Tom Seaver (1967), Jon Matlack (1972), Darryl Strawberry (1983) and Doc Gooden (1984).
The award is just a reminder of how dry the Mets farm system has been. Barring injury, the only farm products the Mets know will be in their 2010 starting lineup is David Wright and Jose Reyes (the latter is coming off surgery).
Further rubbing it in, is that two of the three finalists, and the likely winner, will come within the NL East, that being Florida outfielder Chris Coghlan and Atlanta pitcher Tommy Hanson.
Coghlan, the favorite, led major league rookies in batting, on-base percentage, hits and doubles. He was sixth in the NL in hitting at .321. If Coghlan wins, he will be the Marlins third Rookie of the Year in the last six years, joining Dontrelle Willis (2003) and Hanley Ramirez (2006).
Because I favor pitching, I would have chosen Hanson at 11-4, and led major league rookie starters in ERA (2.89), WHIP, batting average against (.225) and strikeouts per nine IP (8.18).
The third finalist is Pirates outfielder Andrew McCutcheon.
The American League finalists are Texas shortstop Elvis Andrus, considered the favorite, Oakland reliever Andrew Bailey and Tigers starter Rick Porcello.

NCN Supported Tools
NCN Tool Support Commitment
nanoHUB.org is operated by the Network for Computational Nanotechnology (NCN) funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF). While being open to contributions from the community we cannot provide the same level of support to all tools. We have identified a limited list of tools for which we commit the following level of service:
- monitor support tickets, questions, and wishlists and provide a response within one business day.
- fix simple bugs within a week.
- move long term projects and tool improvement requests to a public wish list.
NCN@University Support Structure
The NCN consists of 6 Universities with different sets of expertise, personnel, and funding levels. Given the level of commmitment above, each NCN@University program maintains its own list of tools.
- NCN @ Purdue Tools
- NCN @ Northwestern
- NCN @ Berkeley
- NCN @ University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
- NCN @ Norfolk State University – does not support tools
- NCN @ UT El Paso – does not develop or support tools
Objective, Challenge, and Approach
nanoHUB.org is designed in the spirit of research and educational support through online simulation. Everyone in the community is encouraged to contribute tools and seminars to the Nanoscience and Nanotechnology community! However, we are faced with issues of "Quality Control" and "Software Support" as a central cyberinfrastructure provider. Clearly we cannot be responsible to support all the contributed tools and materials. We therefore take a two-pronged approach to tackle the issues of "Quality Control" and "Software Support": We distinguish between two different sets of tools:
1) contributed tools supported solely by the tool contributor. nanoHUB.org puts processes and infrastructure in place that makes the tracking of bugs, questions, and improvement requests as automated as possible. We request that the tool authors provide enough supplemental materials to their tools such as scientific heritage, tool validation, tool limitation discussions, tutorials, and even possibly usage scenarios (homework or project assignments).
2) NCN@University supported tools: nanoHUB.org is operated by the Network for Computational Nanotechnology (NCN) which consists of several University nodes. NCN@University nodes support a limited set of tools with their local expertise. The level of support is such that we monitor the support tickets, questions, and suggestions for improvement very closely through NCN@University support persons and interact with the user community through these venues rapidly. Our level of service commitment is that we aim to answer questions within 1 business day, fix simple bugs within a week, and manage a list of tool improvements publicly.

ZURICH (Reuters) - Roche has picked Deutsche Lufthansa Chief Executive Christoph Franz to succeed Franz Humer as chairman of its board, filling the top post at a time of change for the world's biggest maker of cancer drugs.
Franz, 53, who has been a member of Roche's board since 2011, will stand for election at Roche's annual shareholder meeting on March 4, the Swiss drugmaker said on Monday.
"Roche is getting a chairman with outstanding personal qualities and an impressive record as head of a major global company," said Humer, who is retiring as announced in March.
"I am sure that his extensive experience, exceptional global network and strong links to Switzerland will be great assets."
While the move is a coup for Roche, whose family owners had expressed a preference for an inside candidate, it comes as the German airline is in the middle of a strategic overhaul to try to cope with rising fuel costs and low-cost competition.
Analyst Fabian Wenner at brokerage Kepler Cheuvreux said Franz fitted the demands of Roche's family owners by being a German speaker with the right cultural connections, but there would be questions over his depth of knowledge of the drugs industry.
The Hoffman-Oeri family, descendents of Roche's founder Fritz Hoffman-La Roche, hold 50.01 percent of the company's shares and have a key say on who is chairman.
Although it will be a non-executive role, the new chairman will have to navigate local politics as Swiss lawmakers hammer out a new corporate tax law, and find his way in a global industry in which some of Roche's top-selling medicines are expected to face competition from cheaper copies from 2016.
One of his toughest challenges may be negotiating with cross-town rival Novartis over the possible repurchase of Novartis's stake in the company, analysts believe.
Novartis has also just appointed a new chairman and the changing of the guard at Switzerland's two biggest drugmakers has fuelled talk that Novartis may finally sell its multi-billion-dollar stake in Roche.
Shares in Roche rose 0.6 percent by 3:56 a.m. EDT to 238.1 Swiss francs, in line with the European healthcare sector index.
In a two-sentence statement, Lufthansa said Franz - who had spent just over three years at the head of the German carrier - had told it he would quit when his current term ends next May, giving him eight more months to press on with his turnaround plans.
Before becoming head of Lufthansa in January 2011, Franz had been installed as CEO of Swiss International Air lines by the German group after it purchased the ailing carrier and was responsible for leading its recovery program.
He still has his home base in Zurich, giving him the Swiss local knowledge and connections in local business and politics deemed crucial for the Roche chairmanship.
Reports suggest Lufthansa to pick an internal candidate to replace Franz rather than bringing in an outsider.
German newspaper Die Welt cited industry sources as saying Carsten Spohr, head of Lufthansa's passenger airlines business and Lufthansa Cargo CEO Karl Ulrich Garnadt as candidates.
Sueddeutsche Zeitung also said Harry Hohmeister - in charge of Lufthansa carriers Swiss, Austrian and Brussels Airlines - could be named.
Franz, who studied industrial engineering and holds a doctorate from Darmstadt Technical University in Germany, has also worked at Deutsche Bahn for nine years.

Asked by Lisa, A southern state
How do I put my 11-year-old daughter on a diet? She is 50 pounds overweight, though she only looks about 20 pounds over. She has a lot of muscle. She plays sports year-round.
She is a picky, picky eater. She has asked to go on a diet, but I don't think that an 11-year-old should, even though it's unhealthy to be so overweight. I have told her she will need to give up sweetened drinks, sweet snacks and white bread products.
Any other ideas that will not be too drastic but will show results?
Diet and Fitness Expert
Dr. Melina Jampolis
Physician Nutrition Specialist
Hi Lisa. I answered your question a couple of months ago but I received some excellent feedback from pediatric endocrinologist Craig Rudlin MD, FAAP, so I wanted to expand on my answer and make a slight correction based on the information that Dr. Rudlin provided.
A 2005 paper from the Pediatric Endocrine Society about childhood obesity suggested a more aggressive approach based on the associated health complications of overweight children, including high cholesterol, high blood pressure and pre-diabetes.
Specifically, for children with a BMI (body mass index-- here's a calculator) of 85-95 percent, rather than focusing on weight maintenance, as I previously stated, the paper recommends "a modified diet with decreased sedentary activities."
They go on to recommend an even "more aggressive approach toward children and adolescents with BMI at or above the 95th percentile or in less obese children who suffer metabolic, orthopedic, or cardiopulmonary complications and/or psychological distress."
Dr. Rudlin, who treats overweight and obese children, says the weight loss goal should be about 1 pound per week, and that some older children and teens can safely lose 2 pounds per week.
When I expressed concerns about losing weight while children are still growing, he explained that a nutrient dense, portion-controlled diet, which he advocates rather than avoiding any particular food group, could actually improve growth.
"If they are eating a balanced diet of all five food groups, they are getting all the nutrients, protein, calcium, vitamins they need and the weight loss is from the loss of adipose tissue, which is desirable."
He also suggested measuring height every three months if this is a concern.
Regarding my suggestion to eat more vegetables, he suggested that I emphasize that parents try to increase their children's consumption of non-starchy vegetables, especially green vegetables.
If your child refuses to eat vegetables, try to re-introduce foods over the years as taste buds change. It is also critical to be a good role model and consume a variety of vegetables yourself on a regular basis.
In addition to my previous suggestions, which included eating breakfast daily, increasing fiber intake and limiting juice consumption, here are a few more suggestions from the childhood obesity consensus paper that I think would be useful for you to adopt as a family to support your daughter's weight loss efforts.
1. Eat meals as a family in a fixed place and time.
2. Do not skip meals, especially breakfast.
3. No TV during meals.
4. Use small plates and keep serving dishes away from the table.
5. Avoid unnecessary sweet or fatty foods and soft drinks.
6. Remove televisions from children's bedrooms; restrict times for TV viewing and video games.
And finally, although you mentioned that your daughter was very active in sports, make sure that she gets at least 60 minutes per day of exercise per the latest exercise guidelines for children.
In case you need the reference, here is the consensus statement regarding childhood obesity.
Next question:
What are healthy qualities in infant formula?

What to Do in South Dakota's Black Hills and Badlands
Discover the Black Hills and Badlands [1]
Inspiration juts from a wall of sheer granite, hanging above pine and spruce trees that blanket these rugged hills like a fur cloak. No matter how many times you see it, Mount Rushmore, a uniquely American artwork set amid a sweeping landscape, evokes emotion. The memorial, 23 miles southwest of Rapid City, ranks as one of America's must-see destinations. But don't just stop at the 60-foot-tall faces of George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt and Abraham Lincoln. An entire vacation's worth of sights -- natural and made -- await in the Black Hills and nearby Badlands.

Mount Rushmore National Memorial [9]
Enjoy the view at Mount Rushmore National Memorial, the movie explaining why these presidents are included and the visitors center that details the process of creating the monument. Memorabilia includes letters from presidents, newspaper clippings, old photographs and descriptions of the conditions workers endured. A hands-on display allows you to "blast" rock off the mountain during the building stages. (605) 574-2523; nps.gov/moru [10]
Crazy Horse Memorial [13]
Ruth Ziolkowski (wife of the late Korczak, who in 1948 began carving the image of Crazy Horse astride a horse) and seven of their 10 children continue the work on this massive sculpture, not accepting any government money to do so. A spacious visitors center tells the story of the carving with a short film and celebrates Native American life and culture with exhibits and displays. A large outdoor deck has great views of Crazy Horse Memorial and a restaurant (try the Native American tacos). (605) 673-4681; crazyhorsememorial.org [14]

Both Mount Rushmore National Memorial and Crazy Horse Memorial offer dramatic summer evening events. Mount Rushmore's nightly amphitheater film and talk end with lights outlining the monument. (605) 574-2523; nps.gov/moru [10]
A laser show at Crazy Horse memorial uses the emerging sculpture of the famous Lakota chief as a backdrop. (605) 673-4681; crazyhorsememorial.org [14]
Custer State Park [20]
At 71,000 acres, Custer is one of the nation's largest state parks, known for granite spires called Needles and the 1,500 head of bison that wander freely throughout the park. Seeing them shuffle through a campsite never loses its thrill. Iron Mountain Road into the park from Keystone takes lots of switchbacks, offering absolutely stunning views. (605) 255-4515; gfp.sd.gov/state-parks [21]
Badlands National Park [24]
Follow any road piercing 244,000-acre Badlands National Park (about 75 miles east of Rapid City) to enter an almost otherworldly landscape of shale and sandstone. Cut by eons of rain and runoff, the soft rock is a maze of knife-edge pyramids, mammoth tortoiseshell mounds and broad, grass-capped mesas. To learn the secrets of this landscape, join park rangers daily (summers) for prairie and geology walks, fossil talks and other programs originating at the Ben Reifel Visitor Center.

The Mammoth Site [35]
In 1974, a home-builder stumbled upon a prehistoric sinkhole holding intact skeletal remains of 58 young male mammoths. The Mammoth Site in Hot Springs (about 60 miles south of Rapid City) has been a dig-in-progress since, complete with a narrated tour and a museum. Walkways provide up-close views of the animals where they died 26,000 years ago. (605) 745-6017; mammothsite.com [36]
Black Hills Wild Horse Sanctuary [39]
Explore the southern part of South Dakota's Black Hills on guided tours of the 11,000-acre Black Hills Wild Horse Sanctuary, home to more than 500 mustangs and other horses (14 miles south of Hot Springs). Tours are pricey but help support expenses for the nonprofit group. Even non-horsey types should enjoy the panoramic views as well as information about native plants, petroglyphs and ranch life. Check the website for information on different tours available; we enjoyed the three-hour tour with a private guide (and air-conditioned vehicle!). (605) 745-5955; wildmustangs.com [40]
Wind Cave National Park [43]
Just south of Custer State Park, Wind Cave National Park offers two contrasting experiences -- guided tours of 130 miles of mapped passageways below ground and hiking and camping along backcountry trails through nearly 30,000 acres of mixed-grass prairie. (605) 745-4600; nps.gov/wica [44]
Spearfish Canyon [47]
Architect Frank Lloyd Wright declared the northern Black Hill's Spearfish Canyon the most magnificent he'd seen; and, yes, he'd been to the Grand Canyon. Forest Service roads lead to picnic spots and miles of exploration in the Black Hills National Forest. For unrivaled scenery, take the Spearfish Canyon Scenic Byway, 20 miles of meandering creek beds, craggy cliffs, plunging waterfalls and serene forest. spearfishcanyon.com [48]
Bear Butte State Park [51]
Rising from the prairie just northeast of Sturgis, the summit of this sentinel mountain provides panoramic views of the Black Hills and grasslands. Respect the privacy of Native Americans who frequently gather here -- Bear Butte is a Lakota and Cheyenne holy place. The park features a campground and buffalo herd. (605) 347-5240; sdgfp.info/parks [52]
Sturgis Motorcycle Rally [55]
If a party with 400,000 of your closest biker pals sounds like your kind of vacation, come to Sturgis in the Black Hills in August for the annual Sturgis Motorcycle Rally. It's a haven for people watching. (605) 720-0800; sturgismotorcyclerally.com [56]
The Journey Museum [59]
In Rapid City, The Journey Museum's exhibits take visitors through the history of the Black Hills area. You'll find dinosaur bones, Sioux clothing and weapons, and photographs of South Dakota explorers, pioneers and prospectors. (605) 394-6923; journeymuseum.org [60]
South Dakota Air and Space Museum [63]
At Ellsworth Air Force Base in Box Elder (just east of Rapid City on I-90), the South Dakota Air and Space Museum's indoor and outdoor displays feature four missiles and 25 historic aircraft, including B-29, B-52 and B-1 bombers as well as fighter jets. Free. (605) 385-5189; sdairandspacemuseum.com [64]
Wall [67]
Perched on sun-burned cliffs, the town of Wall (population: 843) takes its name from the rugged ramparts that form the north rim of the Badlands. (888) 852-9255; wall-badlands.com [68]
Stop at the Wall Drug Store, (pictured) a sprawling, kitschy roadside attraction near the Badlands; it has lured motorists since 1931 with souvenirs, clothing, food and 5-cent coffee. (605) 279-2175; walldrug.com [69]
Tribal tourism [72]
Just south of the Badlands and about 100 miles southeast of Rapid City, Pine Ridge Indian Reservation hosts the Oglala Nation Powwow and Rodeo every August. In all, South Dakota tribes celebrate nearly 30 of these colorful dancing and social gatherings every year. Visitors are welcome at most. (605) 773-3415; sdtribalrelations.com [73]
Fall and winter in the Black Hills [76]
In fall, the slopes of the Black Hills are bathed in the gold of aspen trees. The season also brings mellow weather, smaller crowds and less expensive lodging.
In winter, snowmobiles zip through landscapes so jaw-dropping you'd swear you were in one of the great Western national parks. Terry Peak is the Midwest's highest downhill ski area, but beginners can test their skills on plenty of zippy hills, too. Or just head to the woods with a pair of rented cross-country skis and swoosh through the snow-covered pines.

they do appear bronze in the picture, and steel is good and all, but bronze would be awesome!
1 question. the steel color, is it like Flat silver on bricklink?
Thanks! I'm definitely working on getting these produced in a bronze-ish color. Give me a few months.
The steel color is close to Lego Pearl Dark Great, but is slightly lighter.

The mace and axe are two of my favorites too. No need for you to make a custom one anymore...you can just use a BrickWarriors one!

China Center Chart of the Week: The coming end of the WMP boom
Publication Date:
August 2013
This China Center members-only chart shows monthly issuance of wealth management products (WMPs) by Chinese banks in cooperation with trust companies, along with the average annualized expected return for these products. Despite July's jump, WMP issuance looks set to resume slowing. Recent news reports have indicated that total WMP issuance fell slightly in July, by 0.84 percent month over month (the chart only depicts bank-trust co-issuance). If authorities can continue to gain control over growth in the trust sector and related WMP markets, it could mark a significant move toward re-intermediating the banking system.

A Rough Transition from New FamilySearch to Family Tree?
The email exchange was not conducted in pleasant terms. As Ron Tanner pointed out, what are these people who claim ownership to their genealogical information going to do when they find out they have no "control" over the data on Family Tree? I am expecting to receive similar demands from other distant relatives as I get into the Family Tree program and start to make changes. In my case, I have been preparing for something like this for years. I have multiple sources for most individuals in my pedigree. When I get back to some of my remote ancestors, I could list almost a hundred sources for some lines and yes, I intend to put all that documentation into Family Tree. I hope they don't have a limitation on the total number of sources for any one individual.
One lesson I hope is learned by the genealogical community that is apparently a problem with some, is that making demands on people to change their genealogical information is not a good tactic. I do not handle unfounded and impolite demands well after 37 years of legal practice.
I hope that this email exchange is not a harbinger of future exchanges, but I fear that these people are out there and are going to be upset when they realize they have no real control over what they put online.

Well *I* for one would go for the whole wikipedia-style tree sharing if I were sharing one with you, that's for sure. Thanks for the thought-provoking post. I, too, and sort of bracing myself for this proposed family tree . . .ReplyDelete
Thanks for a very thought provoking post. Interestingly, I have a similar but slightly more embarrassing issue. *I* posted a family tree very early on (15 years ago) that was done with a full heart but terrible research. I would LOVE, LOVE to have the opportunity to remove that tree from the Ethernet. However, I can no longer access it. So, today, as a Genealogist, I have to provide full disclosure that some of the information I entered and posted originally was wrong. Sadly, I know there are people out there happily cutting and pasting that incorrect information without thought to its veracity. This is also why, as a Genealogist, I will not publish another family tree on-line. The material I have is in ged.com form, which I'm happy to share, but I am not putting my research on-line at this time.ReplyDelete
You final sentence says exactly what will happen for sure. Thousands of people are going to be really upset! I don't think there's a cure for my-tree-itis. They'll just have to get over it, won't they! By the way, I imagine you and Ron Tanner are cousins. Am I right?ReplyDelete

A collaborative open wiki environment for genealogy already exists at werelate.org and it is growing more robust and more popular every day. It is non-profit and run in conjunction with the Allen Co. library in Indiana. Before you begin to work on yet another site, please take a look at werelate and consider making your contributions there.ReplyDelete

Denver Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning took on his former team, the Indianapolis Colts, Sunday night, and the homecoming turned out to be a massive draw for NBC's "Sunday Night Football."
NBC easily won the night in primetime with an average audience of 21.5 million viewers, according to early numbers from Nielsen that are not adjusted for time zones and therefore subject to change for live sports.
The Colts beat the Broncos 39-33.
In Nielsen's metered market ratings, which are time-zone-adjusted, the game scored a rating of 17.3 from 8:30 p.m. to 12:15 a.m., making it the highest rated October National Football League telecast in 15 years, and also posting a 48% gain over last year's Week Seven primetime game on NBC.
The game also came out victorious in the advertiser-desired 18-to-49 demographic with a rating of 10.0, besting AMC's "The Walking Dead," which posted a 6.1.
Assisted by an NFL overrun, CBS drew an average of 12.3 million viewers Sunday night and a 2.7 in the key demographic, the second-biggest draw among the big four networks, with "60 Minutes" (14.9 million viewers) "The Amazing Race" (9.02 million), "The Good Wife" (8.97 million) and "The Mentalist" (7.91 million).
Fox was also affected by football overruns so its numbers are likely inaccurate too. Still, according to the tentative figures, Fox, which had all reruns in its animated comedy lineup, drew an average of 2.69 million viewers and a 1.1 rating.
On ABC, "Once Upon a Time" fell 17% from last week to a series low of 2.0 in the 18-to-49 demographic and drew about 7 million viewers.
The network's new 10 p.m. drama "Betrayal" rose 13% in the 18-to-49 demographic to a 0.9 and 24% in total viewers to 3.58 million. In the 9-10 p.m. slot leading into "Betrayal," "Revenge" posted a 1.5 in the 18-to-49 demographic, down 6% from last week, though its total viewership increased 2%.

I'm having some issues with what Alex and Nora are asking for from Santa. They are small issues—literally. Here's what I mean:
Alex's list:
- a violin
- a marshmallow gun
Nora's list:
- candy
- something pink
And…that's it! We grill them almost every day now to see if they've come up with more ideas and the lists haven't changed. We offer ideas and they don't bite. Alex has been obsessed with a violin ever since his idol (my nephew Andrew) started playing it at school but I'm not going to buy him a real violin so I need to see if they make fake ones that look real because he won't go for anything that doesn't look exactly like his cousin's. And because it's one of only two things he wants, I feel like I have to get it for him, right? I have no idea what a marshmallow gun is but I just googled it and it seems violent and messy and sugar-laced. Do I really have to buy him that? Nora's list is just as vague and silly as last year (she wanted a flash light above anything else), and it's classic Nora. The good thing is I know my kids will be happy with whatever Santa comes up with but the bad thing is they've given me zero ideas. And, naturally, I'm behind and overwhelmed and stressed out about all of it already.
Even more troubling: I'm fielding daily calls from my mom, my mother in law, my sisters, the north pole etc., wondering what my kids want for Christmas. "Can you just give me an idea?" they plead. I wish! To be honest, anything I've thought of that the kids might like, I want to get them so that there is something under the tree! I don't want to wind up with a lot of filler crap though so I really do want to get them stuff they want and will like and use. Which requires thinking and research and time, which I just don't feel like I have right now. I know we have 19 more shopping days and I don't even plan to light a fire under myself until at least next week but this lack of a list is really stressing me out. Particularly since I am kind of picky about this stuff to begin with. Nick and I perused some online sites last night and pretty much vetoed everything (a pink, princess-themed easel? why?!). Of course I know I can get Alex art stuff and sports stuff and cooking stuff and he'll love it. Ditto for Nora and I'll throw in a doll or two and maybe a pink flashlight. But I also want them to get some things that they specifically ask for because that's what makes the whole Santa thing fun, right? And that's what makes my job a little easier. So how do I get them to ask for stuff? They don't watch TV with commercials so that's out. I remember the giant Sears catalog that would come to our house as kids and we'd scour it and doggy-ear it and circle stuff we wanted. Do they still make that thing?
Have your kids given you a list for holiday shopping? Any tips for drawing ideas out of them?
*I got some mean/judgy comments about this post over at parenting.com's facebook page and I know I'm not supposed to care but I do and so I'm going to defend myself :) This was meant to be a funny, light-hearted post. I'm not really worried about my kids' lack of a list and I realize it's not a real-world issue. I should have said that obviously I'm grateful that my kids don't want a ton of expensive crap and that we're not pushing it on them by any means and also that we just don't buy that many gifts period. Any the kids don't expect it. We are not materialistic. Asking them what they want is more for the family members who hound me for ideas. And because it's fun to talk about giving and getting this time of year. But believe me I know what Christmas is all about and we donate a ton of stuff to toys for tots and other charities. OK, I'm done! (That said, thanks for all the other helpful comments and ideas!)

Bret Stephens, one of my favorite commentators, acknowledges that he was wrong to support Israel's disengagement from Gaza in 2005. Max Boot stops just short of such an admission.
Thus prompted, I decided to check out what I wrote about disengagement from Gaza at the time. Here is what I said:
Natanyahu [who had just resigned from the government in protest of leaving Gaza] is correct on the merits of the pull-out. The notion that Israel somehow is better off with Hamas in charge of Gaza is odd enough that the pull-out would make little sense even if Israel had received something in return, which it did not. Cal Thomas may be over-dramatic is seeing the pull-out as the beginning of the end for Israel, but it could well be the beginning of a new round of big trouble.
Actually, it turned out to be the beginning of several rounds of big trouble, with more, probably, to come.
I hadn't remembered that Netanyahu left the government in protest of the pull-out. In explaining his opposition to exiting Gaza, Netanyahu said he fears the pullout will turn Gaza into a "base of Islamic terror" and endanger Israel.
Ironically, but not altogether surprisingly, he is now left to deal with the consequences of the ill-advised, fuzzy-headed decision he opposed (albeit not entirely consistently).

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – MIT's men's tennis team made it three in a row to open the spring season this afternoon as the Engineers took a 7-0 victory over Salem State University. With the win MIT improves to 4-2 while Salem State fell to 0-1 with the loss.
MIT took the early advantage with wins in all three of the doubles matches. Juniors Brian Oldfield (St. Thomas, Virgin Islands) and Andrew Cooper (Albuquerque, N.M.) started things off on the right foot at No. 1 doubles with an 8-1 win. The Engineers also took an 8-3 decision at No. 3 before completing the sweep with a close, 8-6 win at No. 3 where the team of freshmen Christopher Hunter (Melville, N.Y.) and Jeffrey Sperling (Los Angles, Calif.) outlasted the Salem State duo of Joe Kim and Johan DaSilva.
In singles play MIT wrapped up the match with straight sets wins in the first four flights. Nos. 6 and 7 were not finished, with MIT up a set in each of those matches. Junior Larry Pang (Torrance, Calif.) had the most impressive win for MIT, taking a 6-0, 6-1 victory at the No. 3 position. Senior Elia Hamatz (Huntingdon Valley, Pa.) took a 6-2, 6-1 win at No. 1 over Eglis Bizhoti, while junior Matthew Skalak (Croton-on-Hudson, N.Y.) dropped just three games in his No. 4 match as well, getting a 6-1, 6-2 triumph. Oldfield picked up the other win for the Engineers, scoring a 6-2, 6-3 victory over Matt Lee at No. 2 singles.
MIT will swing back into action on Saturday, March 8 when the Engineers will host their fourth straight match to start the spring season when Colby College visits Cambridge for a match that will begin at 3:30 p.m.
