CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - Nationally-ranked No. 25 and top-seed MIT defeated No. 4 U.S. Coast Guard Academy, 30-24, 30-28, 33-31, in a New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) Women's Volleyball Championship Tournament semifinal match on Friday. The Engineers (34-1) will host No. 2 Wellesley College in the title match on Saturday, Nov. 3 at 4:00 p.m.
With the opening game tied at seven, a tip by Barden Cleeland sparked a 6-1 run that gave MIT the lead for good. The Bears (20-6) were able to close the gap to one on two occasions, the last occurring at 18-17. The Engineers gradually established a six-point advantage (26-20), but Coast Guard quickly cut its deficit in half. MIT captured three out of the next four points with a spike by Amanda Morris to seal the game.
Corrine McCormack's strong jump-serve helped turn a 5-4 deficit into an 8-5 advantage for Coast Guard in the second stanza. The Bears' lead eventually grew to six (16-10) and they maintained a slim cushion for most of the frame. MIT continued to attack and evened the contest at 24. Coast Guard captured the next point however the Engineers won the next two to regain the lead. The Bears once again tied the game, but it would be the last time as back-to-back points put MIT ahead, 28-26. Each side traded points to close out the frame.
In the final game, Coast Guard slowly crept out to three-point advantage which it maintained for as late as 22-19. A service error led to a five-point run that featured an ace by Morris and two blocks and a kill from Cleeland. Undeterred, the Bears countered with three straight points that evened the contest at 25. Both squads exchanged points before Coast Guard went ahead, 28-27. Following their own timeout, the Engineers posted the equalizer on a strike by Katrina Ellison. The Bears picked up match point, but back-to-back blocks gave MIT a 30-29 lead. After trading points, a kill by Jenny Li put the Engineers up for good as they closed out the match on their ensuing serve.
Li paced MIT's attack with 13 kills, followed by Cleeland (12), Katie Rowe (11), and Rose Zhong (10). Morris tallied 37 assists, 16 digs, and two aces as Carrie Buchanan racked up 19 digs. Zhong and Rowe each contributed five blocks while Zhong completed the double-double with 12 digs. Cleeland and Li rounded out the blocking corps with four and three blocks, respectively.
McCormack finished with 24 kills, eight digs, three aces, and three blocks for Coast Guard. Nicole Gurr contributed 13 kills while Megan Durbin chipped in 11 digs. Anne Staley dished out 40 assists as Mary Bitzer led the way with five blocks.

LOS ANGELES, Calif. – Early runs in each half helped propel Occidental University to a 54-41 win over MIT in a non-conference women's basketball game on Saturday afternoon. The Tigers, champions of the Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic Conference the past four years, improved to 2-1 on the year while the Engineers' ledger lowered to 3-2 this season.
Sophomore Rachel Hunt (Arlington Heights, Ill.) paced MIT's balanced attack with 10 points in addition to four rebounds, two steals, and one block. Freshman Mari Kordell (Ijamsville, Md.) posted seven points and three rebounds while classmate Alexxis Isaac (San Antonio, Texas) tallied six points, six rebounds, and two assists. Junior Lauren Sascha Burton (Seattle, Wash.) notched six points and four boards as fellow junior Rebecca Odim (Brooklyn, N.Y.) added five caroms.
Occidental opened the game with six straight points, but baskets by Kordell and Isaac kept MIT close. Burton's jumper drew the Engineers within three (10-7) at the 15:22 mark; however, the Tigers responded with a 14-2 run during the next five minutes to break the game open. Trailing by 17 points with 1:45 left, two Kordell free throws and a Burton basket narrowed the Engineers' gap to 31-18 at the break.
Both squads posted four points to start the second half, but Occidental mounted a 16-6 run establishing its largest lead of the day (51-28) at the 11:04 mark. After almost two minutes of scoreless play, sophomore Tamara Pena (Aliso Viejo, Calif.) buried a three pointer that sparked a 13-3 game-ending run for the Cardinal and Gray.
In its return to Cambridge, MIT will kick off NEWMAC play with a home game against Wellesley College on Wednesday, Nov. 30.

CW PROPERTY TODAY probes into the reasons behind building collapses and explains how regular structural audits can control these mishaps.
Across India, this story is all too familiar - and tragic. A building declared unsafe, yet occupied, ultimately succumbing to the harsh weather and collapsing, leading to injury and death. Just look at the headlines: In Andhra Pradesh, five people die after a building collapses in the rainy season; in a similar incident in Kolkata, the first floor of a 90-ft building collapses; and near Mumbai, a two-storey building collapses. In most such situations, the buildings are old and dilapidated.
City records
According to the records of the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC), around 35,000 buildings are more than three decades old. Varanasi Municipal Corporation (VMC) has identified over 200 decrepit buildings in five zones across the city at a risk of caving in during monsoons. As per current records with the general engineering department of VMC, there are as many as 242 dilapidated and rickety buildings in the city. Similarly, in Bhopal, around 350 structures pose an immediate threat of caving in a thunderstorm.
And, nearly 800 buildings in the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) area are in dilapidated condition.
Many of these old buildings have excavated cellars, which weaken the structure. Another regular source of monsoon fatalities is the failure to take precautions in case of RCC retaining walls.
By the law
Experts say that monitoring of structural health is a must, especially if a building is over 30 years old. The Municipal Corporation of Greater Mumbai, the Thane Municipal Corporation and many other ULBs have made it mandatory for buildings over 30 years old to conduct a structural audit. If done in a timely manner, this can help increase the life of the structure as well as maintain its value.
As per Clause No.77 of the revised Bye-Laws of Cooperative Housing Societies: The society shall cause the ´Structural Audit´ of the building as follows:
Way to audit
A structural audit involves three stages: examination, evaluation and prescription. A reputed agency or structural engineer who is registered and has a structural license from the municipal corporation should be appointed to carry out the audit. Depending on the size of the society, structural auditing may incur about Rs 25,000 onwards for a building.
The examination stage involves detailed visual observation and light hammer tapping of all structural elements. Evaluation is done with data from all the visual observations, test reports and preliminary information collected. It should be presented in the report with a detailed analysis and comment on the structure´s health. The purpose of a structural audit is to understand the possible solutions for the damage that may have been observed in the building. The report should provide a brief recommendation on a possible retrofit and repair scheme if necessary, which is said to be the prescription.
Reality check
The effective implementation of structural auditing enhances the lifespan of the structure and prevents deterioration of the building, leading to sustainability. In reality, while notices are sent to such buildings regularly, further action is often delayed or ignored. Ashok Burpalle, Assistant Commissioner, Thane Municipal Corporation, says, ¨For any building that needs a structural audit, we send notices for the same, requesting the residents to respond by taking necessary actions for any mishap to be controlled.¨ However, disputes between tenants and owners and co-owners, court litigation and sentimental considerations often prove to be stumbling blocks, causing delays. A senior officer from Bhiwandi-Nizampur City Municipal Corporation (BNCMC) adds, ¨Along with auditing, one has to implement what the audit report informs. At times, the report may ask for a building to be vacated, to which the residents do not agree.¨
Nevertheless, corporations have no option but to put forward more stringent rules to get the auditing done and make our buildings - and lives - safer.

Senior Portraits!
Oh joy.
Apparently my photographer thought my smile was unattractive, because after the first two shots he refused to let me smile for the camera.
Hence, the unattractiveness of these proofs.
Hence, the problem I have deciding which of these photos is the lesser evil that I don't mind commemorating in the yearbook forever and ever.
My question to you readers is:
Which one of these pictures (only the blue-ish background ones, according to the school code) should I choose?
The smiley ones:
(Apparently he didn't know how to center my body, either.)
Or the Un-smiley ones:
And the just-for-funs:
My personal favorite. Aside from that strand of hair that is bugging the poop out of me.
The "It could've been better if he let me smile because I can't non-smile".
And, best for last, the "emo".
Oh, and whichever I choose will be photoshopped, though to what extent I have no idea.
Pick a number 1-4, the "winning" photo will be announced soon!

The Navy's senior foreign area officer and director of International Engagement, Rear Admiral Douglas J. Venlet, told a group of more than 80 officers at a Foreign Area Officer Conference that their job is to use their unique language and culture skills in order to build and maintain international relationships and partnerships throughout their careers.
"We live in a globalized world. If we are not connected linguistically, we are out of the picture," Venlet said, at the Defense Language Institute Foreign Language Center in Monterey, Calif. "You need to be elite…Focus on the language you are studying now and get to that 3/3 level," he said, referring to a high level of foreign language proficiency. "Study, study, study. Don't settle for anything less than full capability," he advised.
Foreign Area Officers are a specialized group of officers from all branches of the service who possess a set of skills that come from a training program that involves formal study of a language, a period of in-country training in their Area of Responsibility, and attaining a master's degree in a field compatible with their focus. Because of their expertise, FAOs normally serve in U.S. Embassies around the world either as security assistance officers or as military attaches.
Venlet, a key note speaker during the four-day conference organized by the FAO office at the Institute, graduated from the Russian language program in 1974. Venlet told students that his FAO background led him on an interesting career path, which aside from "driving ships," also allowed him to work at the White House as the deputy executive secretary of the National Security Council in the executive office of the President.
"I was in charge of fielding more than 180 calls between George W. Bush and (Russian President Vladimir) Putin. I worked for (Secretary of State Condoleezza) Rice and found out that she understands Russian very well, probably better than me," he recounted with a chuckle.
Venlet's career led him to being a senior military attach' at the U.S. Embassy in Moscow between 2010 and 2012.
"Since it had been a while since I graduated from DLI, I took a refresher course in 2009," he said, explaining that the course was facilitated through the DLI Washington D.C. office.
"I would like to emphasize to the FAO spouses that this career path is a family affair and that you are a part of the team," Venlet told spouses present. "My wife played an important role in establishing and maintaining bonds between families," he added, explaining that many relationships were formed with staff from other embassies of foreign nations, also stationed in Moscow. "Her ability to speak Spanish and Russian was invaluable."
Venlet also had an opportunity to receive a DLIFLC command brief, detailing the various programs of the Institute, visit a Russian classroom, and have lunch with service members.

Next week will see the release of arguably the most important monthly jobs report in recent memory. Securities markets are closed Monday for the Labor Day holiday.
Continue Reading Below
The August report from the U.S. Labor Department, due out Friday, is widely expected to play a key role in the Federal Reserve's decision regarding when and how the central bank will begin scaling back its long-running easy-money policies.
Most investors and analysts believe only an extremely disappointing report will stop the Fed from announcing later this month a plan to begin scaling back its $85 billion a month bond purchasing program. The Fed's two-day September meeting is scheduled for Sept. 17 and 18.
For months the Fed has been signaling its intention to begin phasing out the bond purchase program known as quantitative easing. In statements and public comments, some Fed members have supported moving away from stimulus sooner rather than later, possibly as early as September.
Global securities markets, which have surged under the Fed's unprecedented interventionist policies in the wake of the 2008 financial crisis, seem prepared for a policy shift announcement on Sept. 18 at the conclusion of the Fed's two-day meeting.
It's widely believed that if next Friday's jobs report comes close to expectations it will prompt the Fed to announce some form of tapering, probably a slight reduction in the number of mortgage-backed securities purchased each month. The Fed has said it will keep interest rates at their near zero range for the foreseeable future.
July's report showed an increase of 162,000 jobs and the unemployment rate ticked lower to 7.4%. Although hardly robust, the report fed the view that the U.S. economy broadly and labor markets specifically are on the mend.
The Fed has made improvements to the labor market the primary focus of its policies for much of the past year. The latest round of bond purchases, initiated last September, were specifically intended to spur job growth.
Also on tap for next week is the ISM Manufacturing index due Tuesday, and motor vehicle sales and international trade figures on Wednesday.

Peter, Paul & Mary: Carry It On
Share this:
Send this via e-mail
The importance of being earnest is vividly illustrated in Carry It On, which chronicles the enduring work of folksingers Peter Yarrow, Noel Paul Stookey, and Mary Travers, who at the time of this comprehensive, 80-minute documentary had already marked their 40th anniversary as a trio.
There are nearly three dozen tunes (or parts of tunes) here, ranging from "Lemon Tree" in 1962 to several new performances from '03. And while their earlier music now sounds somewhat tame, even quaint (or, in the case of "Puff the Magic Dragon," cringe-inducing), at the time, Peter, Paul and Mary's pro-civil rights, anti-Vietnam War stances were considered rather radical, helping pave the way for Bob Dylan (whose "Blowin' in the Wind" they performed at the same '63 rally in Washington, D.C. where Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. gave his "I have a dream" speech) and the evolution of pop music's social conscience.
These days, they've found a niche performing for kids and making programs for PBS (it's the perfect match). And while they may have lost their hair and their figures, Peter, Paul and Mary remain as committed as ever to making music that provokes, inspires, and entertains.

Bibliographies are So Not Boring
Bibliographies have been on my mind recently. I don't mean like today and yesterday. I mean more like the last few months. I'm worried that I'm becoming obsessed with bibliographies. I love bibliographies whether I find them in other books or when I create them myself.
One of the first things I do when I read a new historical book is to check the bibliography. I do this for two reasons: 1) to find further resources on the same subject (one of the best techniques when you are beginning research on a new topic) and 2) to judge the book by how good its bibliography is. I'm a harsh critic when an author has a weak bibliography.
When I start a new project one of the first things I do is to start a bibliography, right from the get-go. Not only does it document the sources that I've used but it becomes a great reference to use again in the future.
As a house historian, I often create bibliographies for specific towns. It's sort of a natural progression from my canvassing a town exercise. This helps me to see everything about that town that is in publication. I include maps in the bibliography as well. It's critical for me to try to understand what maps have been printed for an area and when.
But I also do bibliographies on specific people. Even with house histories I will end up researching specific people, especially when they are fairly well-known. Nothing helps more than understanding what has already been published about that person and what primary resources those authors used. That saves me time and forces me to think creatively to unearth other possible resources.
Lately, as I've been wearing my macro glasses, I can see applying bibliographies to genealogical research as well. Instead of just researching the specific documents related to my ancestors in Montgomery County, New York I could create a bibliography of publications related to the town they lived in. I could also create a time specific bibliography covering say, 1800-1850, in New York generally. By trying to learn more about the social history surrounding my ancestors at that time and perhaps learning about the associates who resided in the same town, I may finally unravel some of my unanswered questions about my own family history. For this type of bibliography I think I would also try to hunt down as many journals and first-person accounts as possible.
I hope I've caused you to think twice about bibliographies. They are not just an after-thought at the end of a book. When thought out properly, a bibliography can guide your research and save you research time as well. The next time you start a project, take the time to create a bibliography as you go and make it a dynamic part of your research experience.

I'm with you on bibliographies. I used to give them a once-over, and gradually started looking at them with increasing care, even using them to figure out whether I am going to buy a book.ReplyDelete
I completely agree. Bibliographies are our friends! Thanks for the great post.ReplyDelete
Marian - thanks for writing this! You gave me something to think about re my own books and articles. I wrote a post about it this morning which I linked back to your article. Please see Bibliography or Footnotes?ReplyDelete

I tend to to import my trips after the fact, and sometimes not in the same year. The trips default to the current year. The solution proposed in the support threads is to manually adjust each trip in the importer interface. This is tedious, but it is made even more tedious and frustrating because the editing interface is really slow. Sometimes it takes 5-10 seconds for each click to register. For example, I click "edit" and wait a while. Then I can change the year. Then I click "save" and wait a while. Nothing happens during the waiting period. I might have 50 trips to do this to, which might take several hours depending on what else I go off to do while I wait for the clicks to happen.
So my first request would be to allow us to specify the year when we are importing the trips, just as we are able to specify the zulu/local.
If that's not possible, I'd request that we have the ability to bulk edit the trips. This would likely also provide utility to other users who want to edit things other than the date in bulk.
Finally, if that's not possible, can we please make the interface work in real time so that there isn't any perceptible delay between clicking on "edit" and actually being able to edit, etc? This would be nice to have regardless of the status of the first two.

California First Theater - Monterey, California
One thing I've learned about my grandmother, Loraine Gunzendorfer, is that she loved to go out, especially to the theater. And she's even left me some programs and descriptions about what she saw.
Sunday - Sept 6 - 1914 - Bryan and Gene came from Hollister to stay a week or so - In the afternoon we went for ride to Grove - After I obtained the above - Then we all - Hallie, Bryan, Gene & I went to the Monterey Theatre where I got ------->
See where she wrote this with the arrow?
Wikipedia describes this as a silent movie from 1914 set in the period of the Second Punic War (218-202 B.C.).
From the looks of the inside of the program this seems about right.
Here's a few other programs.
|A wonderful play - comedy
enjoyed it every minute
I don't think she cared for this one as much.
Margaret, Hallie, Elfie, Helen, Mary and I were asked to usher for "The Hazard of the King." It was quite a good production, scenery, costumes, etc. but play wasn't much.
It's funny how seeing things she wrote nearly 100 years ago brings back a memory for me. I remember when she didn't like something much she'd say "I couldn't give it much".
How I wish she were here to tell me about these plays!

|1944 Dale Harvill
Still looking for a family member so his WW2 letters to his parents can go home.
This morning I found the obituary of the brother's mother Josephine
Tulsa World (OK) - Friday, September 26, 1997
Deceased Name: Drumright -- Josephine Thiry Harvill
|1945 Drumright High School
I was hoping it would provide details on her sons and possible grandchildren but no luck. Perhaps there are obits for the brothers or their father. It does provide a maiden name for their mother so it is possible that cousins could be found for the boys

Then we move into a circus carnival section with descending synth effects. The final dramatic section ends with an almost Spanish/Mexican styled theme. It is a light hearted, childlike and playful, cheerful piece with a fun party atmosphere and a sense of humour and comedy cartoon fun. Ideal for children's programming or educational projects.

Egypt's interim prime minister has filled several key ministerial positions as efforts continue to assemble a new cabinet. Meanwhile opposition leader Mohammed ElBaradei has been sworn in as interim vice president.
Former ambassador to the United States, Nabil Fahmy, accepted the post of foreign minister on Sunday. His appointment is widely considered a symbol of the emphasis the new government places on relations with the United States, which offers $1.3 billion (995.3 million euros) a year in military aid.
The appointments came as caretaker Prime Minister Hazem El-Beblawi (pictured above left) held a second day of meetings with candidates for his new army-backed cabinet. It is expected to have around 30 ministries and is likely to be unveiled within the next few days.
It will replace Egypt's first democratically elected government under President Mohammed Morsi who was ousted by the military almost two weeks ago. The military has pledged to hold parliamentary elections in around six months.
Earlier, Egyptian reform advocate Mohammed ElBaradei, who led the country's main opposition group, the National Salvation Front (NSF), took the oath of office before interim president Adli Mansour.
Under the 71-year-old Nobel laureate, the secular NSF led opposition to former President Morsi's Muslim Brotherhood.
According to NSF spokesman Khaled Dawoud, ElBaradei no longer heads the coalition.
"He is now a vice president for all Egyptians," Dawoud said.

When it comes to musings from Gwyneth Paltrow, I usually fall in the camp of less is more. I don't mind an occasional recipe from GOOP, but listening to her sanctimonious dribble is like nails on a chalkboard at times. So I braced myself for her latest interview in Self magazine. But Gwyneth actually offers advice that could help improve every frazzled mom's marriage. Seriously.
The Oscar winner says that her low-carb, gluten-free diet isn't just good for her body, it has improved her relationship too ... well, sort of. With this new "clean" diet, Gwyneth feels more open about expressing her feelings of anger. When she "sucked it up," that led to yelling at traffic in her car or wildly tugging at hangers stuck together in her closet. Now, she no longer makes other people's feelings her top priority and the result is a new level of calm -- at least for her.
Ugh. Poor Chris Martin. Those conversations can't be easy for her husband. Still, I have to give the girl kudos for putting her emotional needs first. That is a rarity among moms and wives. So much of what we do is making sure everyone else is nurtured and cared for. We tend to put our family's needs above our own. It's no wonder so many women are tired, cranky, and on edge. What wife hasn't had a momentary freak-out due to frustration?
Most of us are so worn down by a million responsibilities -- and a bad diet -- but still never manage to make the changes we need to take care of ourselves. If we did, I bet most of us would feel like completely different people and much more content in our relationships. So Chris may have a ton of eye-roll worthy chats with Gwyneth coming his way, but in the end, the old adage is always true: Happy Wife, Happy Life.
What do you think of Gwyneth's plan to express her anger more?

The excuses from Ravens offensive coordinator Cam Cameron about not using running back Ray Rice are getting old.
They are about 3 years old, which coincidentally, is the time the Ravens and Cameron have spent trying to build the offense around quarterback Joe Flacco.
I understand what they were trying to do, and I think they fell in line with everyone else about the NFL becoming a pass happy league. Maybe that's true, but to adopt that theory you need a great quarterback.
In Flacco, the Ravens have a good one, but one not consistent enough to carry an offense. So basically, the Ravens are back to where they have been the last three years. This is still Rice's offense.
It's time Cameron admitted that as well.
I'm tired of hearing how he is trying to save Rice. If that is indeed the case, then use rookie running back Bernard Pierce more. You don't have to totally abandon the running game.
Also, we keep hearing about how the conditions of the game and the score have dictated when to use or not use Rice.
In the Philadelphia game, the Ravens stopped giving Rice the ball after the first half in a close game. In the Houston game, they took him out of the game plan after the first SERIES.
It was embarrassing.
I'm hoping now that John Harbaugh has instructed Cameron to use either Rice or Pierce more. I'm still bothered by the overuse theory on Rice. The Ravens went to Houston with a chance to have the best record in the AFC and possibly gain the edge for home-field advantage in the playoffs, and there is concern about saving him for a stretch run and the postseason.
Let's just forget all the excuses and just give Rice the ball. Not only is he the best offensive player, but it allows the Ravens to control the clock. In case no one on the offensive staff has noticed, the Ravens are getting dominated in time of possession.
It's time the Ravens were less concerned with reputation and more concerned about what is best for the entire team.
Since Rice entered the league in 2008, the Ravens are 13-2 when he has rushed for more than 100 yards, and 33-5 when he has had 15 or more rushing attempts.
In the words of Bill Clinton, you do the math.

Pocatello, Id — Idaho State University will take construction bids next month for a proposed $6.3 million addition to the school's student recreation center.
Plans for the addition include a fitness center, multipurpose rooms, lounges and administrative offices. Work on the two-level expansion could start this spring, and the addition could be ready by the fall of 2009.
The school began collecting student fee money, which will pay for the addition, in 2003.
Students had rejected one proposed addition that included an Olympic-size swimming pool that would have cost about $22 million.

Free Gone Wrong... Or Free Done Wrong
from the it-happens dept
Along those lines, our keynote speaker of the day, Chris Anderson, recently posted a story of "free gone horribly wrong" written by Jon Lund, the head of the Danish Internet Advertising Bureau. It's a fascinating and worthwhile read, all about a sudden influx of "free newspapers" in Denmark that weren't just free on street corners, but were freely delivered to homes. Basically, it created a bubble, with everyone getting overwhelmed with multiple free newspapers delivered to their doors every day. The market was overly saturated and it hurt everyone and the whole thing collapsed.
It's definitely an interesting tale -- and one that I think fits with some of what Alex will say. But, I tend to wonder if this is really a case of free gone wrong or free done wrong. First, I'm always a bit skeptical of "free" business models that rely on a "free" scarcity (such as physical newspapers). While it can work in some cases, it's much more difficult. You're not leveraging an infinite good -- you're putting yourself in a big hole that you have to be able to climb out of. Second, in some ways the model that was set up was a static one where everyone focused on the "free" part, and no one looked at leapfrogging the others by providing additional value where money could be made. The trick with free is you need to leverage the free part to increase the value of something that is scarce and that you control, which is not easily copied. That wasn't the case here. Everyone just copied each other, rather than trying to offer something different and better.
Still, it's an important point that bears repeating. Free, by itself, is meaningless. Free, with a bad business model, isn't helpful either. The real trick is figuring out how to properly combine free with a good business model, and then you can succeed.

A heretic is a person who while a Christian creates controversy, dissension, and division concerning doctrine and belief within the Orthodox Christian church. Such issues arose early in Christ's Church, being noted in a number of the letters of the Apostles, notably in Titus, Timothy, Peter, and John.
As used in Titus, in the New Testament, the word heretic comes from the phrase hairetikon anthropon which is best translated as "one who fosters factions

Vocalist Michael Bublé's 2013 studio album, To Be Loved, is a slick and classy Bob Rock-produced affair that follows up his hit 2011 holiday album, Christmas, and once again showcases the Canadian crooner's take on swinging pop music. Most longtime Bublé fans will have a sense of what to expect here and, in that sense, should be quite pleased with the album. As with previous Bublé releases, To Be Loved finds the vocalist tackling a handful of American Popular Song standards and some more contemporary pop covers. This time around, Bublé even peppers the album with a few very vintage '60s soul-sounding numbers. To these ends, Bublé kicks things off with a brightly swinging take on "You Make Me Feel So Young," turns in a neo-soul version of the Bee Gees "To Love Somebody," and digs deep into Smokey Robinson's "Who's Lovin' You." Also adding flavor here are a few guest appearances including duets with actress Reese Witherspoon, Bryan Adams, and the Puppini Sisters. As with Bublé's last few albums, he gets some co-writing credits, with songs like the sunshine pop-sounding, 'It's a Beautiful Day," and the atmospheric orchestral ballad, "I Got It Easy," registering as two of his best originals. Ultimately, To Be Loved isn't just a perfect showcase for Bublé's voice, it's also one of his most diverse and enjoyable albums.

Mumbai: TV actor Rohitashv Gour, seen as Mukundi in the second season of SAB TV's show "Lapataganj - Ek Baar Phir!", praises the channel for being consistent and focusing on the common man.
"The best thing about SAB TV is that it's consistent in one thing and that is comedy. It's a comedy channel, so it is making comedy only," Rohitashv said here Monday on the set of 'Lapataganj - Ek Baar Phir!"
"Secondly, it has changed its comedy style a lot. Earlier, the shows focussed on high-class families, but now it has shifted its focus to common man's life," he added.
Various shows on SAB TV like "Jeannie Aur Juju", "Chidiya Ghar", "Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah" and "F.I.R." are quite popular among the viewers and the credit goes to the strong and appealing content.
"The channel is now coming up with more and more literary work-based shows. Like our show 'Lapataganj'. Initially, it was based on Sharad Joshi's stories, but later it changed."
If "Lapataganj" was set in a hypothetical village where basic amenities are scarce, but emotionally the residents were contented, "Lapataganj Ek Baar Phir!" shows people have got water, electricity, mobile phones and ATM facilities, but they continue to struggle as nothing works properly.
"Now, the whole scenario has changed. It's not a drawing room comedy," he added.

I was actually toying with the idea of doing a crossover with my comic this morning. On the one hand, it'd be cool and fun to do, but on the other hand, my comic is still very new, I'm still getting to know my characters, and I just started a new story arc which will define where the comic is going for the next while. I'm not even confident enough to pimp it out at Keenvention, for crying out loud.
Erm. In a nutshell, I s'pose I'm saying "I would be interested, but it's probably a little premature for me."

Finally I have a chance to sit down and write this all out!
With our recent training trip to NYC (more on that to come later), I've now had my Fenom Gi for approximately one month and have washed it countless number of times, and used it extensively. I've worn it for approximately 20 classes.
I won't give specific measurements because each gi shrinks and changes shape as they're washed and used. The following gi review is my personal opinion only and not endorsed by any individual or company.
For reference, I'm 5'4″, 136lbs and my measurements are: 34″, 28″, 36″ (Bust, Waist, Hips)
Fenom Kimonos – Fenom Lotus Gi – White (Size A1)
The Fenom Kimonos website is easy to navigate and I quickly found the standard white gi I was looking for. They advertise the following qualities regarding the Lotus gi.
- Single Piece Crystal Weave Top
- Rubberized Collar
- Embroidery on Sleeves, Jacket and Pant Leg
- 100% Cotton, Light-Weight Canvas Reinforced Pants with Drawstring
- Stays Soft with Air Drying
- Shrink to Fit

Reviewed by Bailey W. (age 7)
I liked this book because it has not just one mystery but a bunch and I kept on wanting to read more and more and more. I think my friend Kathryn would like to read this book because she is intelligent, like the book! I liked Kenny and Graham because they are main characters. Part of this could happen in real life, but only in medieval times. I think it's cool that they made the dragon live on a tall hill. The book teaches you that you don't judge people by what they look like.
I would recommend that Kathryn should read this book. She is like the book because she is intelligent. She would like the part when George and Graham fight! It's so cool because I never see people really fighting that much-it's really different.

Seib & Wessel: What's North Korea Up to and Why?
Kurt Campbell, head of the Asia Group and former Asst. Sec of State for East Asia & Pacific, talks with WSJ's Jerry Seib and David Wessel about what's behind North Korea's recent actions and why the U.S. has responded with so much muscle.
This transcript has been automatically generated and may not be 100% accurate.
the ... Jerry Sithe ... Wall Street Journal ... Wessel and today for Campbell who was until recently the assistant Secretary of State for East Asian and Pacific affairs ... now that the group ... in a guy who's watched the North Koreans ... close for awhile ... they're pretty interesting this week are ... a lot of elk those words some low-cost actions ... some from American responses I guess my first question is ... are we seeing anything this out of the ... ordinary from the North Koreans ... or is this the same ol stuff Yet both sexes Crichton is you guys appreciate ... the chance to chat and it's a challenging can always do in the far ... north and lockers ... I think two things happened yesterday that were significant and I would watch carefully ... obviously the North Koreans are putting on a daily barrage of provocations today it was the ... closing down and destroying the ... commercial facility in North Korea yesterday ... it was another in the pronunciation of the armistice between ... on South Korea and on the north ... but if you look carefully at the White House to ... basically with the White House said is look we take very seriously ... these are statements and these are very hot ... syrup alarming rhetorical flourishes however if you look carefully ... journalists changed on ... almost no units are on the higher state of alert their feud on the North Koreans on the north inside we're on a very high low ... and a lot of leaves even counseled South Korea weakened ships ... artillery battalions everything to ... support our effort on the Korean peninsula but ... Americans have been very careful so they know exactly ... how to walk ... right it's the wire but then not turn her crisis ... the problem is that people forget that this is the most don't rise ... a somewhat higher than it has been for sixteen years ... and one ... misunderstanding one miscalculation could lead to ... just a tragedy ... and what's happening in South Korea ... his than in past South Koreans have been very content to allow these kind of folks like this on a daily basis ... South Koreans have gotten very close to saying I'm not taking anymore and there is the very real chance at some point ... that an incident or an accident create could create a miscalculation with with terrible asked so it's it's trying carefully ... this move up on some of the waters this was the point of all this military might buy the U S applying still and all that ... what you you've got to stand strong ... message of deterrence that North Korea cannot ... contemplate that they would get away with anything ... ALM that would be perceived as a threat to the SEC and that has been an enduring quality of American diplomacy for decades ... it's important that it underscores our commitment to peace stability and is part of what ... makes us a great our nation is he's a very clear message to China ... that they need to get ... their friends and counting ... while the switch on and on Monday when the ... U S one other question first you have on the scene right now ... in this picture you're talking to several factors you got a new leader in North Korea is the new young leader North Korea ... the new government South Korea and a new government taking shape in China ... are those all factors in other words ... the North Koreans ... doing some of this because are sending signals to new actors on the stage around them ... I think that is part of the of the creation in addition we have a new government in Japan it's well obviously they have an interest on the onthe pencil ... the irony though ... Jerry is that we have a situation ... for the first time a onetime a leader in South Korea very sophisticated for world please Madam Park ... who has made it clear in private meetings I was there the delegation created her on in her transition ... that she wanted to begin the process of dialogue with North Korea ... and we were ironing out how the process with two players of course that North Korea ... proceeds to actually undermine the political support in South Korea ... for such an endeavor ... ultimately I believe will try to find a way in the months to come to ... reach out to North Korea but ... with each ... activity of the North Koreans missiles of ... nuclear tests provocation ... they undermine the confidence of Western democracies of South Korea United States ... in Japan that anything can be accomplished ... and so they put themselves in a very difficult circumstance however time is going to go through the process and then at the end of that say okay so what's in it for us exactly that but what's happening on our I saw myself are accruing government ... is ... you know is the rarest of people that says hasten the end of that year ... chip right and so ... so political leaders have to calculate ... the risks from last time we had very close to an agreement is lead here cream and very able to mine and David's ... negotiated theory tough very heart of ... one of diplomatic achievement in the North Koreans go home their diplomatic team ... basically we're continually undermined by this new leader ... the problem with um ... the new leaders his ... first was almost nothing about ... um that's not unique for ... the North Korean leaders ... but he she is clearly unpredictable ... aam and ... he is ... using pages of the old playbook but then adding other ... patients from Disney World and other ... things in India has left everyone including ... our friends can be changed very much on the ... cost of our presentation ... I think this looks to them stay ... in control of the situation all happened so they're extremely anxious ... it was their interest and slowing down or if they aren't giving us today ... well as their primary interest is the maintenance of peace and stability on the peninsula and to keep what they would conceived as a buffer state complex in North Korea ... RYN always to them was if this is a buffer state you know what what good is a trend ... that North Korea has done so many things that are antithetical to China's point policy national security interests ... China cannot be happy with the ... really massive show of force ... that were stained building on the Korean Peninsula ... United States South Korea support from other nations ... because of the actions that North Korea has taken ... aam increasingly China's trade links their political dialogue is more with this out ... oh we have seen is the rather ... almost bizarre political said interactions between ... China and North Korea if you witnessed those interactions ... you would be opp frankly given difficult place for cigarette who was the great powers the smart car ... China's extremely careful with their equaliser ... the practice of very gentle brand of diplomacy quite contrary to ... what they've done with Japan or the Philippines or Vietnam in certain circumstances ... I think what's happening in Beijing now as they're starting to re evaluate ... has this approach served our interests ... I would be all surprised in the coming months to see a tougher line from Beijing I e you better get your act together they could turn out the lights North Korea in what could be could shut the place down overnight if they want to but ... again what would happen it could create instability ... on the Korean Peninsula ... in that in this sense ... the North Koreans have figured out China's bottom wind ... and they're ... testing China as much as their testing ... South Korean unit said it was ... I've wondered for awhile now with the Chinese thinking about the Korean Peninsula is about twenty years to pay just to say ... on the error theory is that a unified Korean Peninsula would be ... would produce a ... of an influx of refugees of this chaos that would ... ensue ... in the week presented us heavily armed US satellite on its southern border ... does that really is the only way they are thinking that this ... will look ... you know I'd I think you could ... argue that we were you there are generational lines on the current consensus among people that I have to look for instance ... that are at the tail end of the diplomatic person will name names I can sense very clearly ... that their hearts ... was sure was a in the Korean War Red the sense of ... the camaraderie and support for their upcoming spring in the north ... different younger generation takes a more pragmatic and I think in some respects calculating viewing recognizes ... that the show we say that this level leadership is out of step ... with ... the trends in northeast Asia ... but I think of all smugly the ... whines point to China re evaluating ... and thinking more clearly over time with church teaching interest ... the the the the the challenge here though is that both South Korea and its units its havoc on China ... to talk about the future of the Korean Peninsula ... but for a whole host of reasons the weeky leaks are ... no ... anxiety about talking about ... really challenging issues we've never really been able to have been ... one to really ... talk about the future and what fundamentally Aaron China's interests ... we've done a little bit and certain tracked to an academic but not ... in ... the appropriate high-level councils of government will the minister to Gaza cover station in the app ... look we had SOEs crustaceans the nineteen nineties ... aam but in recent years we have not that I'd I'd ... have to underscore ... its its compare the United States and China ... work together ... and find a way forward ... are ... too sheer ... he and the peace and prosperity GM's the region ... in my interactions with even the most worldly ... China's lockers ... underneath ... he is still ... or growing ... a very substantial distrust of the nine states and the worry that some of these ... you now on gambits are staged by the ten states to ... put pressure on China ... so it will not be an easy ... decision for them to put North Korea ... under pressure because they are worried ... that they would almost prefer to deal with the difficulties that they know ID a ... very provided leadership of the north then ... those that they don't know that could come from you ... rescue ... requests more about China and about us time ... the Chinese have been doing a lot of hacking of American computers a lot of attention ... when you think is going through the minds of the Chinese leadership now in what should be the American response will Pursell the red alert you to stillness it was the president made ... the dash screen bustling ... TomTom one ... the the irony here aam David is that ... in China's actions ... are actually the seeds of the strategy ... to go after what what is the most important ... prime directive of Chinese foreign policy ... to not take actions that allow ... collective group ... to steer the kids ... right ... and by their frankly just ... random indiscriminate attacks against businesses against ... commercial entities begins to govern us ... that's ready as ever heard today ...

Meredith's Colorful Work in Progress

- What I Love About My Small Home:
- What I love is that small space living has forced me to keep (and add) only things that I truly love. When I moved to NYC and started unpacking, I put each item in 1 of 3 categories - "love", "like" and "could live without." After putting out everything in the "love" pile, I was out of room and had to donate the rest! I also love that it's a blend of things I've purchased and things I've DIY'd. Best of all, even though it's a tiny space, it's a constant work in progress and never really done.
- Biggest Challenge of Living in a Small Space:
- Keeping the furniture I moved here with and creating "zones" that were functional in a studio apartment was not easy. space. It got more difficult with all dumpster dive furniture finds I kept bringing into the space. Everything (just) fits because so many of the pieces double as storage. I've got extra linens stored in my ottoman, the Expedit room divider stores closet overflow, and every skirted piece of furniture has stored items underneath.

My Room: Sophia, Ava and Olivia
Amy and Jon's three girls share this terrific room. Amy tells us more: We currently have our three daughters, Sophia (age 5), Ava (age 3), and Olivia (aka Baby O, age 1) all sharing the same bedroom. The room is only 9′ by 14′ which was an obstacle to overcome. But the room works well for them and they still have plenty of room for play.
We did the walls in bright white and left their toys to fill in the color. All of their shelves are normal floating shelves that we hung, filled the gap between the wall and the shelf with caulk, then painted them the same color as the walls so they appear to be built right out of the wall.
Did you know that a queen sized comforter can be divided exactly into four to create four perfectly sized comforters for a crib/toddler bed? I purchased an Alexander Girard comforter and divided it up so Sophia and Ava have matching bedding, costing a fraction of the cost of most crib bedding. All of their furniture is from Oeuf which has held up beautifully over the past five years.
I collect vintage toys and also wood animal sculptures which decorate the high shelves in their room. Their book collection is their prize possession and they all (including Baby O) sit and look at books together.
Thanks Amy, Jon, Sophia, Ava and Olivia!
