NORTHAMPTON, Mass. - In a New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) doubleheader, the MIT softball team defeated Smith College with a score of 9-0 in the first game and 2-1 in the second. The Engineers are now 14-9 for the season and 4-4 in NEWMAC play, while the Pioneers dipped to 6-16 and 0-10 in conference action.
Senior Leah Alpert (Needham, Mass.) and freshman Alexandra Marshall (Glen Head, N.Y.) led MIT in the first game with two runs apiece, with Alpert going 2-for-3 and Marshall going 1-for-2. Freshman Tori Jensen (Holliston, Mass.) went 2-for-4 with one run and three RBIs.
The Engineers' offense came alive at the top of the sixth inning. Junior Sarah Van Belleghem (Los Gatos, Calif.) kicked off the four-run inning with her first homerun of the season. Off a double by Jensen, Marshall scored her second run of the game. To end the inning, both Jensen and sophomore Ellie Fodor (Trenton, Mich.) scored, bringing MIT's total runs to nine. Senior Anna Christensen (Vernon Hills, Ill.) and sophomore Kelly Wang (La Canada, Calif.) also added a run each earlier in the game.
Fodor pitched all six innings, allowing only three hits and zero runs, while striking out seven.
Van Belleghem earned MIT's first run in the third inning of the second game off a single by Christensen. The Pioneers answered this small lead with their first run of the day at the bottom of the fourth. The score remained tied at 1-1 until the top of the seventh inning when freshman Alex Burgess (Chelmsford, Mass.) scored off a single by Marshall. With the Pioneers unable to score in the final inning, the game ended with an MIT victory.
Van Belleghem was 2-for-3 with one run, while Burgess was 1-for-3 with one run. Marshall was at the mound for all seven innings, allowing five hits and one run and striking out eight.
The Cardinal and Gray will return to action tomorrow when they host fellow NEWMAC foe, Babson College, at 12:00 and 2:00 p.m., after having to reschedule due to rain.

Oil Companies Accused of Anti-Competitive Practice, Wildfire Victims Getting Financial Help
- After a year, Iowa Senator Chuck Grassley and Minnesota Senator Amy Klobuchar have again asked the Justice Department and Federal Trade Commission to study possible anti-competitive practices regarding certain oil companies.
Grassley and Klobuchar want the DOJ and the FTC to review the Renewable Fuels Association's comprehensive analysis on how some oil companies are blocking the sale of renewable fuels, investigate the claims and reply with an evaluation of the agencies conclusions regarding possible anti-competitive behavior along with any proposed solutions they will take to resolve the issue.
- Tree fruit industry victims of the wildfires in Washington's Okanogan County are getting some help via a tax deductible charity that is being set up.
The Community Foundation of North Central Washington Brewster/Pateros Tree Fruit Fire Victims Fund will channel help directly to those working in the tree fruit industry that have lost their homes and suffered great loss.

Boston/Back Bay
Get in[edit]
The Back Bay is bordered by the Charles River to the north, the Public Garden to the east, Fenway-Kenmore to the west, and the South End to the (you guessed it) south.
By car[edit]
Like most of downtown Boston, driving in the Back Bay is a terrible idea. While, unlike the rest of the city, the streets are laid out in a grid, the traffic tends to be bad to terrible. Newbury is the worst, as trucks frequently double park and pedestrians brazenly walk in front of cars. Boylston and Mass Ave are also frequently congested. If you must drive there are several parking garages in the area, and Exit 22 off I-90 East (only) serves the area. Storrow Drive is also another point of egress, although during rush hour it is often gridlocked.
By subway[edit]
Orange Line: the Back Bay station is near the border of the South End, near the Copley Place mall and the Prudential Center. Also served by the 10 and 39 buses.
Green Line: Several stations on the Green Line are located within Back Bay. The Green Line splits into multiple branches here: the following listings will indicate which branches serve which stations.
By train[edit]
The Back Bay station is served by Amtrak trains, and by MBTA commuter rail (Attleboro/Providence, Framinghham/Worcester, Needham, and Franklin lines).
By bus[edit]
Routes CT1, 1, 9, 10, 39 and 55 service the area. The 1 bus is the most useful to tourists, as it runs on Mass Ave and connects the Back Bay with Central and Harvard Square in Cambridge.
Catch-a-Ride also provides bus service from Brooklyn NY and The Bronx NY directly to their Boston stop in Back Bay at 39 Dalton St. Schedules and tickets are available on their website.
See[edit][add listing]
With no specific destination, the best way to explore the Back Bay is to start at the Public Garden and walk up Newbury St. The shops slowly change from extremely high end to more bohemian. At Mass Ave, going to the right will bring you to Commonwealth Ave; a split road with a tree-lined pedestrian mall in the center. Bordering Commonwealth Ave are some of the most elegant townhouses in the city, rivaled only by those on Beacon Hill. Going left as Mass Ave will bring you into the Berklee College of Music, many more shops and eventually Symphony Hall. Left off Mass Ave is Boylston Street, a vibrant avenue that has many bars and restaurants on the one side, and many popular Boston attractions such as the Prudential Center, Copley Square, and Hynes Convention Center on the other.

I became passionate about genealogy through personal experience. After I started seriously researching my own family history I experienced a sense of connectedness that was profound. It wasn't important that my ancestors were mostly farmers and peasants. What was important important is that they belonged to me and I belonged to them. I haven't been able to let go of my passion for genealogy ever since.
My passion is a bit overflowing and ever since I've wanted other people to experience the same satisfaction that comes from family history and genealogical research as I've experienced. I wouldn't mind if the whole country became as obsessed with genealogy as they are with football and baseball.
For this reason, I really try to keep close tabs on the pulse of genealogy. Over the years we've seen a gradual increase in general interest in genealogy with the PBS programs African American Lives and Ancestors.
Last year things started to really heat up with PBS' Faces of America and NBC's Who Do You Think You Are? (WDYTYA) Dare I be so bold as to say that WDYTYA was the tipping point?
WDYTYA represents the first serious attempt to bring genealogy to the people. And it seems to be working. Not only is WDYTYA coming back for a second season but now the Disney Channel is getting on board as well. They will be broadcasting a genealogy program geared toward kids.
So why do I care about all this?
I love the genealogical community - both non-profits and the for profits. I want to see them thrive.
I started tooting the horn a numbers of years ago (on the APG list) saying that the big genealogy wave is coming. It's here NOW.
What are you doing about it?
In a previous post (The Holy Grail: New Genealogists) I wrote about the importance of connecting with these new potential genealogists and gave suggestions for how different sectors of the genealogical community could engage them.
Thinking Out of the Box
Now I am tracking examples of groups and organizations that are putting ideas into action. Those groups that are thinking out of the box to attract new genealogists who are not coming from traditional channels. I'm pleased to say that I am starting to see it happen.
In yesterday's "The Weekly Genealogist" eNews the New England Historic Genealogical Society (NEHGS) announced that they are teaming up with the Boston Center for Adult Education (BCAE) to provide genealogy classes in September. This was a brilliant move of thinking out of the box to attract a new audience. If you want the attention of the 20- and 30-something crowd in Boston then BCAE is the place to do it. They regularly hold classes on all sorts of topics including the ever popular wine tasting. The timing is perfect for adding a genealogy class. Now if NEHGS were really clever they would cross the river and do the same thing with the perhaps even more hip, Cambridge Center for Adult Education.
The Providence, Rhode Island Public Library
In October the Providence Public Library will be holding its first ever First Annual Genealogy Symposium. For a first time event, they are going all out. They will be hosting three speakers with the headliner being none other than Megan Smolenyak followed right on her heels by The Photo Detective, Maureen Taylor. I will disclose that I am the third speaker but honestly that was just luck on my part. They picked me from the Boston Public Library posted schedule. They didn't know my name beforehand. While technically holding a genealogy symposium is not "Out of the Box" it does show a non-genealogical organization that is very much in tune with what their audience wants and they are ready to provide it.
Note to genealogical organizations: Keep your eye on public libraries - they have a great sense of what their patrons want. Why not be proactive and approach them about a program?
The Massachusetts Society of Genealogists (MSOG)
The MSOG Middlesex Chapter is responding to current trends by providing a new "Family Research Day" in addition to their regular Annual Meeting Seminar. The Family Research Day will be held this Saturday, September 11, 2010. What is unusual about this program is that beginning genealogy classes are being offered throughout the entire day not just during one track. That shows a recognition of current trends and initiative to provide a place for new genealogists to gather and learn.
Are you thinking Out of the Box?
Do you have more examples of groups or businesses that are thinking out of the box to engage the latest wave of new genealogists? If so, send them to me. I'd love to write about them as well.

It's Time to Think Out of the Box

FamilySearch has been adding FaceBook and Twitter to its means of reaching out. They started newFamilySearch first for members to try and clean up their trees before releasing to the world. IGI gets a bad rap, but the new LDS genealogists recognize much was before training, records being available and family tradition. They are working to clean it up.ReplyDelete
I think another tool that is just starting to be utilized (us included) is social media... connecting to other genealogists and trying to spark interest with the online (generally younger) crowd.ReplyDelete

First man off can always be subbed by Malkin or Crosby, so maybe you overlap a possesion with both of them on the ice. Keep Letang-NIskanen out there as long as possible. Sub in Despres-Martin for the last 20 seconds. Rotate which unit (Crosby or Malkin) goes on for the first minute so there's no competition.
This doesn't make any sense. You'd rather keep Letang and Niskanen on the ice as long as possible than keep Crosby and Malkin on the ice as long as possible. I understand the thought that splitting the two makes for two quality units, but who's to say there's even an opportunity for a line change? Then you've got one of the top two players in the world riding the pine.
One huge issue with the PP is Letang as the best qualified QB then there's a massive drop off after (Nisky is serviceable, Martin can carry the puck but can't shoot for toffee, then nothing unless Despres wins a spot).
I'd keep Letang and Nisky on the ice as long as possible (irrespective of Sid/Geno) just to avoid seeing Martin! Whilst it seems like a waste not having one of the greatest on the ice, why put them in a position they aren't suited to (such as Geno on the left side)? Sid, Geno and Neal are all lefties so are far more dangerous on the right, but with no one-time threat from the other side of the ice it becomes easier to shut down. TK and Sutter are light years behind in terms of talent but could one time a shot from the left side and force the PK to be honest...
Well, it looks like Malkin will be on the right side, with Kunitz in front, Neal roving along blueline and down the left side, and Letang point. I'd like to see Crosby work a bit more from directly behind the net, funneling pucks to either wing and right up the middle, but I'm not sure things will evolve that way. Regardless, it appears Neal will be the guy who spends the most time on his off side, but to me, he seems like a capable enough shooter to capitalize on scoring chances regardless of the side of the ice he is on. Maybe I have overconfidence in Neal, but what I have seen from him is a versatile shooter who can and will do what is asked of him.

"First law on holes - when you're in one, stop digging!" Denis Healey, former UK Finance Minister.
It is clear that Drug Discovery is in a "hole". The worries about the patent cliff, and the slowing rate at which new drugs are discovered is well documented. So Denis Healey's advice is pertinent. Instead of working feverishly harder at what has worked in the past, perhaps standing back to look more reflectively might be the way forward. In a way, standing back and being reflective is what Universities are for. So the University of Edinburgh is offering a Distance Learning course to take a fresh look at the problem.
But this reflection is not from the ivory tower. Three people behind the course have close up experience of the rough-and-tumble of the pharmaceutical industry. Professor Malcolm Walkinshaw, holder of the Chair of Structural Biochemistry at the University of Edinburgh, has spent 10 years in Switzerland with Novartis as head of their Drug Discovery Group. Dr Paul Taylor led a database project in Novartis and Cyclacel and Dr Doug Houston has spent time at Cyclacel Pharmaceuticals and was recently Program Coordinator of a Scottish Enterprise drug discovery project which resulted in the spin-out company UB Pharma. The ideas they have were developed in a fertile environment. Edinburgh is one of the top 25 Universities in the world. They have benefited from the investment the University has made in Systems Biology, an area the University almost invented before its time by the work of Henrik Kacser in the 1970's. It is also well known for its excellence in Informatics and for its computing infrastructure.
One of the new ideas centre on Doug's work for considering how to handle the avalanche of data that systems approaches can create when screening a large number of potential drug candidates. Doug has developed a jury method to consider multiple sources of information together in order to rank those that are most likely to be successful. As an example, a recent project aiming to discover chemicals active against parasitic nematodes has resulted in dozens of active compounds. Malcolm's work on glycolytic trypanosomal targets has benefited from modelling glycolysis in order to better predict which are going to be more effective. What started as a collaboration with Prof Paul Michels from the University of Louvain, Belgium, who is a world expert on trypanosomal glycolysis, is to become even closer as Paul will soon move to Edinburgh permanently.
The Distance Learning course also benefits from contributions from friends in the industry who are successful entrepreneurs in their own right. They have contributed material on how to bring a successful lead compound through to a commercially successful drug. Students will also benefit from their advice about how to build a career in the Pharmaceutical Industry and hear their take on what someone starting out now should pay particular attention to.
Many professional choose Distance Learning courses in the University of Edinburgh not only because they fit into their busy lives, but because they also provide the discipline and focus to ensure that they engage with new thinking rather than letting it be continually knocked down their agendas.
The benefits of doing this course to a career are:

by Lou Mancinelli
American politics, even at its most elevated, can seem like boxing without rules. So writes Mt. Airy historian Hal Gullan in his new book, "Toomey's Triumph: Inside a Key Senate Campaign," (Temple University Press, 2012). The author's seventh book tells the story of Pat Toomey's 2010 Pennsylvania senatorial race from inside the Republican camp.
According to Gullan, the race between Republican Toomey and Democrat Joe Sestak, both former congressmen, served as a microcosm of the national political divide of the times. Against a backdrop of a rising tide of dissatisfaction with Congress, Toomey and Sestak worked to sell their plans for fixing a slouching economy and creating jobs.
And the men involved illustrated a fascinating dynamic in which two men may be friendly, yet they maintain that each harbors dangerous ideas.
"I thought maybe this could potentially be that rarity in American politics that generates discourse where two guys like each other but feel if the other guy wins, it would be devastating to the American way of life," Gullan said.
Toomey's team granted Gullan unprecedented access to their operations, from the war room to finances, to strategists tracking the polls. Gullan organized the book in chapters that center on a theme or event every month. The narrative picks up when the campaign began to simmer in March and concludes when voters go to the polls in November.
Gullan said he was originally interested in following the campaign but was willing to work with any candidate. He started the project by calling all three camps: Arlen Specter (who was, at the time, in the middle of a primary fight with Sestak), Sestak and Toomey. The former two told him to send an email.
When Gullan called the Toomey campaign, the campaign treasurer answered the phone, and Gullan proposed his idea. Toomey's campaign manager Mark Harris, a young man in his mid-20s, liked the idea, and Gullan chose to focus on one camp.
What Gullan found in the Toomey camp was a calm and confident candidate who was focused on strengthening his base in the middle of the state. On the Democratic side, Gullan felt Sestak was stuck with a somewhat frantic message that was burdened by answering to Specter's party flip-flop and shortcomings.
While the book falls short of being the account of a reporter documenting the experience of the campaign trail – a fact Gullan stresses in his preface – it is a historian's presentation and analysis of the facts as they evolved during the months that led to the election and Toomey's celebration speech in the early morning hours of Nov. 3, 2010, because the election had been so close. It was so close, with many counties, like Montgomery, reporting late, the Toomey camp had to scramble with its lawyers to prepare for a last-minute recount. Toomey won by 2 percent of the vote.
"My disappointment was that the national media didn't put the focus on this [election] it deserved," Gullan said.
He said the media covered it as a bland election between two candidates who lacked character. But Gullan saw it as just the opposite: two candidates evocative of the American success story. It had intrigue.
Who would the people like? They were offered, in Gullan's opinion, two good options. Toomey was a free-market Republican concerned with national debt. Sestak was a big-government Democrat who insisted that his office be kept open seven days a week when he served as Delaware County's congressman.
At the beginning of the book, Gullan is unsure who will be the Democratic candidate. Sestak challenged five-term incumbent Arlen Specter. But Specter had only been a Democrat for one term. The son of an immigrant salesman, Specter was raised on the New Deal, and was a registered Democrat who in 1965 ran for District Attorney in Philadelphia on the Republican ticket, giving birth to his political career.
After more than four decades with the GOP, he jumped back to the Democratic Party when he supported Obama's stimulus bill. Sestak's camp launched devastating ads, branding Specter as a candidate interested only in reelection, and Sestak became the candidate in May.
While Toomey's people painted Sestak as a liberal, they tried to stabilize Toomey's image by saying the same thing as many ways as possible: less government – more jobs. Toomey concentrated his campaign in the center of the state between Pittsburgh and Philadelphia, two cities that go Democratic in just about every election. Toomey's people believed he could win by strengthening his presence in the middle of the state with his consistent message.
He traveled in a van to his victory centers (Gullan sometimes watched speeches or debates on Pennsylvania Cable Network) or campaign centers and worked to reenergize the Republican Party. According to Gullan, he had almost all the whole party behind him. After all, it was as if the main priority of Republicans in the 2010 mid-term elections was to get rid of whatever Democrats were in office at the time.
The key to Toomey's successful campaign, Gullan believes, was the candidate's demeanor. He won not because of his policies but because of who he was and who he appeared to be in debates, how he was presented before the public eye – confident, low-key, and authentic.
Meanwhile, Gullan sensed an inauthentic schizophrenic tone to Sestak's campaign. Sestak changed his position and claimed he was not a liberal. He called himself a pragmatic problem solver.
"If you look at them and believe what they are saying," Gullan said, "you may vote for them."
That's Gullan's 80 percent principle: If you agree with 80 percent of what a candidate says, your disagreements may be bridged by a politician's character, or is spin the word?
Before turning to writing, Gullan, 80, was raised in Baltimore and graduated from Johns Hopkins University, where he was an indifferent student but earned a degree in philosophy in 1953. After graduation, he became the youngest executive at the nation's oldest advertising agency, N.W. Ayer & Son, in Washington Square, Philadelphia.
After his marriage to Elizabeth, who worked for the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society, the couple moved to Mt. Airy, where they have lived for more than 40 years. Their home was designed by architect Frank Furness, who also designed the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts on Broad Street,
At 58, after working in the advertising agency for years, Gullan decided he wanted to do something meaningful with his remaining time and went back to school. He earned a master's degree in education from St. Joseph's University and went on to earn a Ph.D. in history from Temple University in 1998 at age 68.
He has taught history at West Chester, Temple, La Salle and St. Joseph's universities. His other books include one about Gullan's take on the 1948 Truman election as an upset, counter to popular theories that it should have been a landslide, the stories of the fathers and mothers of America's presidents, a season of University of Pennsylvania basketball, and collaborations with SJU basketball coach Phil Martelli and Phillies broadcaster Chris Wheeler.
As for the current Republican primaries, Gullan said he is sure Mitt Romney will be the candidate and that Rick Santorum continues to hang around because "people look at him and believe what he's saying."
In contrast, he noted, Romney "is like the guy in school who wants to be the regular guy, who was driven to school by his chauffer."
And that is just the kind of wit and insight Gullan provides in "Toomey's Triumph."

by Anthony Aiello
As you are working on your garden this spring and deciding what to plant, why not consider a vine? Growing vines is one of the best ways to add dimension to your garden.
Vines can be used for a multitude of purposes – as screens, to soften hardscape, conceal structures, provide lushness, and most importantly, to add vertical flowering interest on arbors or trellises.
There are a variety of forms and flower colors with vines, and because their growth is mostly upward, their presence in the garden adds a spatial and seasonal element, often in locations where there is not enough room to use other plants.
The idea of growing vines has often received a bad reputation because of some aggressive non-natives such as English ivy (Hedera helix) and wisteria (Wisteria floribunda and W. sinensis). But with the proper selection of native or well-behaved non-native vines, you can add a new level of interest to your garden. A few to consider are:
• Campsis radicans "Jersey Peach" – Jersey Peach trumpetcreeper
This variety of native trumpetcreeper bears the long-tubular flowers characteristic of this species, but features flowers that are pale peach-yellow, instead of the familiar orange-red of the species. Set against a rich backdrop of dark green foliage, this plant is quite striking when in bloom. Trumpetcreepers need sun for best flowering, and are very vigorous growers best used in large-scale situations with strong supports. Their striking flowers attract hummingbirds and a variety of insects.
• Bignonia capreolata "Dragon Lady"- Dragon Lady cross vine
PHS Gold Medal Award Winner
Native to the southeastern U.S, Dragon Lady cross vine is an exceptional evergreen vine, with dark green leaves that turn purple in winter. It grows by climbing tendrils and adhesive rootlets making it adaptable to a variety of climbing situations. Cross vine has attractive red trumpet-shaped flowers in June and July that also attract hummingbirds and butterflies. Dragon Lady is very hardy in the Delaware Valley, and more floriferous than the species. It is adaptable to a variety of sites, preferring at least a half-day of sun.
• Wisteria frutescens "Amethyst Falls" – Amethyst Falls American wisteria
PHS Gold Medal Award Winner
While there are native wisterias, this variety is an excellent alternative to its aggressive Asian cousins. Slightly fragrant, lavender-blue 5" flowers cover this twining vine in May and June with recurring blooms through August. Tough and adaptable, it is suitable for a variety of landscapes, including small suburban or urban gardens. It grows well on a trellis or arbor, over fences, and in containers. This variety grows to about 15" and is best planted in full or part sun.
• Gelsemium sempervirens "Margarita" – Margarita Carolina Jessamine
PHS Gold Medal Award Winner
This vine is native to the southeastern U.S. and into Texas. Carolina jessamine is normally not cold hardy, but this variety is well suited for our area, providing a profuse display of clear yellow trumpet flowers in late spring, with semi-evergreen foliage throughout the winter. This is a twining vine that can be used in any number of situations, including as a groundcover, on fences or other garden ornaments, or simply climbing up a stout shrub or tree. The result is a mass of color and wonderful texture throughout the year.
When discussing vines, of course it is hard not to mention at least a few clematis that make great additions to any garden. These are not native, but are generally better behaved than the familiar sweet autumn clematis (Clematis terniflora).
• Clematis "Roguchi " – Roguchi clematis
Arguably one of the finest bell-shaped clematis ever introduced, this plant blooms from May through September. Roguchi is a hybrid of C. integrifolia × durandii and is covered with two-inch cobalt blue flowers. You do not need to worry about pruning: it grows to 4-6", but as a perennial, it will die to the ground each season. Roguchi prefers sun and performs best when it can clamber over a small trellis or fence.
• Clematis montana var. rubra – Pink anemone clematis
This clematis is a vigorous Chinese species that is an excellent choice for covering chain-link fences or arbors. It has small (2") lightly fragrant, rosy-red flowers in late spring and will ultimately grow to 20-30". It a fine garden plant that is reliably floriferous. You can find it at the Morris Arboretum growing well along the Pennock Garden trellis.
Most of the vines mentioned above can be found at local garden centers. So this year, think vertically, and consider how to incorporate some of these great vines into your garden.
Anthony Aiello is the Gayle E. Maloney Director of Horticulture and curator of the Morris Arboretum of the University of Pennsylvania

Taylor Swift, Jason Aldean + More Attend 2011 CMT 'Artists of the Year' Celebration
On Tuesday, Nov. 29, stars of all types came out to Nashville's Bridgestone Arena to honor country's Taylor Swift, Jason Aldean, Kenny Chesney, Brad Paisley and Lady Antebellum, who were celebrated for being chosen as the 2011 CMT Artists of the Year. The second-annual event — with pictures from the party seen here — brought entertainment from non-country artists Gavin DeGraw and the All-American Rejects, as well as the company of Lionel Richie and William Shatner and the humor of host Rob Lowe.
"It's great," Paisley commented before the party, which was taped to be shown later. "It's neat. It's not like an awards show where you have to wonder if you're going to win. And if you don't, they were mean. They psyched you out. And it's one where they feed everybody and give you alcohol. We need more of those shows."
The 2011 CMT 'Artists of the Year' celebration will air on Dec. 13 at 9PM ET.

Mayor's Office
Residents can now register and pay online for classes and programs offered by the Lincoln Parks and Recreation Department. The new service at http://lincoln.ne.gov/aspx/city/proctor/ was announced just as the new summer program guides are being mailed. Those who do not receive the guide through the mail or in their newspaper can find it online and at all Parks and Recreation facilities beginning Tuesday May 29.
"We are proud to offer a wide variety of programs and activities for all ages," said Parks and Recreation Director Lynn Johnson. "We encourage residents to use the new online registration system that allows them to review program offerings and to register from the comfort and convenience of their home computer. We also hope residents will take advantage of the many opportunities Parks and Recreation offer to be active and have fun."
Johnson thanked the City's Information Services Division for its work on the online registration system, the latest e-pay service offered at lincoln.ne.gov.
In addition to the program guide and the online registration, the Parks and Recreation website also includes information on summer day camps and on public swimming pools which open Saturday. All neighborhood pools are open from 1 to 6 p.m. daily. Highlands and University Place pools are open from 1 to 8 p.m. Monday through Friday and 1 to 6 p.m. Saturdays and Sundays. Star City Shores is open every day from 12:30 to 8 p.m. Season passes are still available for all locations, and several pools will again offer $5 family swim nights during the week. All locations will remain open until August 12.

Ah, the pleasures of the global blogiverse. I'm at a conference today, between workshops, trapped in the exhibitors' hall. Booth after booth of outwardly perky people who are dying on the inside, because at some point in their lives they made a tragic vocational decision that they would give anything--a crucial body part, for example--to undo. This goes especially for the many many many banks that market credit cards (and the seductive Buy Now, Pay Later lifestyle) to teenagers. They know a fertile market when they see one, and they also know their ticket to hell has already been punched. So now they're living out the string, trying to seem as though their lives have any meaning, and hoping you'll please subscribe to their FREE e-newsletters, so that you'll agree to infest your inbox in exchange for the fleeting FREE chance to win a FREE iPod shuffle.
After about an hour of 1) not making eye contact and 2) talking into my dead cell phone, I found a bank of live ThinkPads (one of which might also be FREE if Dame Fortune smiles upon me). The circumstances for posting (motive and opportunity!) are great, but this is also the first post I've ever written standing up. I can't say I recommend it.
But never mind that. I honestly didn't intend this to be a rant about Labyrinths of Despair. I'm actually in a pretty good mood, because of last night's sushi dinner. We were celebrating a lot of stuff: For me, the end of a particularly onerous work week; for Robert, the beginning of Spring Training and another summer of Yankee Fixation. But the biggest news is that little TwoBert, who has been peeing in the toilet regularly for the last week or so, spent yesterday entirely in underpants. He has finally bought in to the concept that walking around with a soggy sack of effluent around your privates is a bad thing. So he put on the little training undies first thing in the morning, played in them, napped in them, and wore them to the restaurant without incident. And lo, the choir of angels sangeth Hallelujah.
There is a little extra spring in his step, which sometimes sends his waistband a little south of the border. But now, instead of a protective layer snugged to his waist with Velcro, the undies slump with the pants to expose his little coin slot. Never before have I derived such joy from a butt crack, let me tell you, and I intend to savor this feeling for as long as possible, until his inevitable first accident with No. 2 sets forth a Maelstrom of Awful.
So huzzah for that! And now I have to sit down, because I can't feel my legs.

Component giants SRAM are generally characterized as an American company based in Chicago, Illinois and rightfully so – that's their main base of operations, after all. However, they've diversified into a decidedly global entity. These days, nearly all of their drivetrain development is done in a lesser known – but arguably more significant – facility in the German industrial city of Schweinfurt, about two hours outside of Frankfurt.
SRAM built the facility in 1998, shortly after acquiring Sachs Bicycle Components. Back then, the 17,000m2 (183,000sq ft) building was primarily used for the production of internally geared hubs. That aspect of the business has since moved overseas so it's now home to about 180 employees and serves as SRAM's main mountain bike and road drivetrain development resource – in fact, most of the new SRAM Red group was designed and engineered here, not in Chicago.
The company's engineers don't just design new components here, however. There's a full machine shop and prototype facility to build new concepts in-house as well as a sprawling test area for both validating ideas and confirming the durability of production components. Virtually every major drivetrain component SRAM makes can be tested here, including internally geared hubs, traditional derailleurs and shifters, chains and complete wheels.
Much of the test equipment is as you'd expect: rotating machinery to pack on mileage with computer controlled shifts, environmental chambers for torture testing components in extreme conditions, and various pieces of hydraulic gear for measuring fatigue life and failure points. Also included in the inventory, however, is a bike set up with a mountain of data acquisition gear (SRAM engineers not only measure empirically how often people tend to shift but even what gears are used most often) plus a high-speed camera to better gauge shift performance.

Drivetrain testing at SRAM's Schweinfurt headquarters
Recently, SRAM have been converting part of the Schweinfurt facility into more of a support hub, with the creation of a new Dealer Services Direct base to serve the German, Dutch, French, British and Scandinavian markets. Shops can send items directly to Schweinfurt for service when needed and there are six benches and five mechanics on duty at any given time, plus a dedicated parts inventory (we even spotted a damper for an old RockShox Duke Race).
"If we have spares, we'll work on it," SRAM European MTB PR and communication co-ordinator Simon Cittati told BikeRadarduring our visit. According to Cittati, DSD mostly services forks and brakes in about a 50/50 split – shops are generally reasonably comfortable handling the rest on their own.
The final main portion of the building is dedicated to SRAM's European race shop – the base of operations for SRAM's road, mountain and cyclo-cross sponsorship and event support. Team and athlete inventory is staged here before shipment and there's an enormous bay big enough for SRAM's gigantic race support rig. Prior to major outings, SRAM's support staff will dock the trailer here – indoors – load, unload and reconfigure as necessary, and then head back out the door.
All in all, there's a lot more going on inside than the modest exterior would suggest. SRAM are still a US company but after spending some time in Schweinfurt, it seems that it'd be safe to say that they're a German one now, too. Check out our image gallery for a tour of the facility.

text: Lower Corn Production Fueling Calls for Ethanol Waiver August 16, 2012 09:31 AM Tweet TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By University News Release Email By Tracy Turner, Ohio State Extension/Ag Answers With USDA's forecast that corn production this year will drop 13% to a six-year low as a result of the historic drought nationwide, the calls to divert more corn for food versus fuel are likely to grow more urgent, Ohio State University Extension economist Matt Roberts says. In its monthly crops report, USDA last week cut its projected U.S. corn production to 10.8 billion bushels, down 17% from its forecast last month of nearly 13 billion bushels and 13% lower than last year. The projected corn production would be the lowest since 2006, meaning there will be intense competition for the reduced crops. The USDA said it expects corn growers to average 123.4 bushels per acre, down 24 bushels from last year. In Ohio, those numbers translate into a projected 126 bushels per acre, which is down 32 bushels per acre from last year for corn. For livestock producers already suffering because of poor pasture conditions and high hay costs from the historic drought, that means higher feed costs and the potential that more of them will be forced to sell their herds because they can't afford to feed them, Roberts said. This is prompting increased calls to divert less corn this year to ethanol by easing the U.S. ethanol mandate, he said. Under the Renewable Fuels Standard, U.S. fuel companies are required to blend 13.2 billion gallons of ethanol into gasoline in 2013, or about 10% of total gasoline usage, which requires converting some 40% of the U.S. corn crop into the biofuel. "There is more and more pressure for the ethanol mandate to be reduced for the current year to increase the availability of corn for livestock feeding," Roberts said. "Given the yield forecast, coupled with this extreme reduction in feed demand, it will strengthen the case for an ethanol standards waiver. "These calls began as a trickle for a temporary waiver of the ethanol standard, but the calls have since grown stronger." In fact, Roberts said, 25 U.S. senators sent a letter earlier this month to the Environmental Protection Agency urging the agency to use its waiver authority to adjust the country's ethanol mandate because of the negative impact on corn prices caused by the drought, which is the most severe in the country in 56 years. As it stands now, ethanol will be produced from 38% of this year's crop, down from 41% last year, according to government estimates. But the EPA could waive the renewable fuel standard if it causes an extreme disruption in the input markets or if the fuel is unavailable. "Many people are calling for the waiver on the grounds that the mandate is causing extreme disruption, but many in the ethanol and renewable fuels industry don't want to see the waiver granted because they see it as a slippery slope for future repeal of the renewable fuel standard," Roberts said. The calls to waive the ethanol standards come as most of Ohio, except for some counties near the Kentucky, West Virginia and Pennsylvania borders, is experiencing moderate drought, with some counties near the Indiana and Michigan borders experiencing severe and extreme drought as of Aug. 7, according to the most recent U.S. Drought Monitor. Nationwide, 80% of the U.S. is experiencing drought conditions, up from 40% in May, according to the monitor. The lack of rainfall has decimated many corn crops, which were damaged as a result of not getting enough rain during their crucial pollination period. So even though growers planted a record acreage of corn this year in anticipation of a strong year with record yields, the lack of rainfall has caused yield forecasts to continue to decline, Roberts said. The drought has hit the livestock industry hard, he added. The lack of substantial rainfall, extreme heat and dryness have left many producers short on hay and silage supplies and looking for any alternative forages they can plant to make up for the shortages. That includes diverting less corn to fuel, considering that it takes longer for livestock producers to rebuild feed demand than it does for the ethanol industry to increase production, Roberts said. "Ethanol plants that shut down or go bankrupt if the waiver is approved will still exist and can easily return to production when prices return," he said. "But with cattle, it takes 2 to 4 years to build up a cattle herd. "So if these high feed prices cause cattle herds to decline, then in the best-case scenario, it will take multiple years to rebuild those herds." As a result, the livestock industry is asking for an ethanol standard waiver, in any amount. "Any waiver would help livestock through lowered feed prices, so from the livestock industry perspective, the bigger the waiver, the better," Roberts said. "And with last week's lowered yield forecast, that argument is given more weight." Read and watch more Power Hour news, blogs and videos.

A lot of big stars, including Sylvester Stallone, Martin Scorsese and Uma Thurman, are going to have to work harder after losing millions to an alleged Ponzi scheme run by a well-connected money manager.
Kenneth Starr is accused of reaping $30 million in a fraud that sources told NBC New York also emptied the wallets of Ron Howard, Caroline Kennedy, Natalie Portman, Wesley Snipes, Goldie Hawn, Henry Kissinger and Annie Leibovitz. The 65-year-old money man, no relation to the Clinton-era special prosecutor of the same name, was charged in a federal complaint along with a once powerful New York politician, Andrew Stein.
"He used his access to famous and powerful clients to burnish his image of trustworthiness, leading his clients to entrust him with management and control of their financial affairs," IRS Special Agent Robert Beranger charged in a complaint filed by the U.S. Attorney in Manhattan, which charges Starr with multiple counts of wire fraud, money laundering and lying to the IRS.
In some case, Starr collected his clients earnings, then invested their money in risky schemes or simply diverted it to himself, according to prosecutors. Starr has also been accused of giving bad advice, such as allegedly telling Snipes he didn't have to pay income taxes, which Starr has denied, and advising Leibovitz to take on a crushing $24 million loan. Stallone sued Starr in 2002 over a soured Planet Hollywood investment.
Prosecutors said that when clients demanded money, he gave them cash from other clients, which "was characteristic of a Ponzi scheme."
Last month, Starr bought a condo on Manhattan's tony Upper East Side for at least $7.5 million, using his clients' money, according to the complaint. The condo includes five bedrooms, six bathrooms a 32-foot lap pool and top of the line fixtures, prosecutors said.
Two clients, Manhattan jeweler Jacob Arabov and his wife, were allegedly cheated out of $13.9 million. Starr met the couple when he bought a $70,000 watch from the jeweler at a 2006 auction, and won them over as investors, prosecutors said.
A source familiar with the case told NBC New York Starr was able to meet some of his clients through parties thrown by Denise Rich. Rich, a singer, is a philanthropist who is divorced from one-time fugitive billionaire Marc Rich.
Stein, a one-time City Council president and mayoral candidate in New York, is accused of making false statements to the IRS. Prosecutors say Stein worked closely with Starr in some of the risky investments made on behalf of the celebs.
Liebovitz released this statement to Gawker: "News of Ken Starr's arrest does not come as a complete surprise to me and I will follow this story with great interest. Ken Starr no longer represents me and has not for some time."

University statement on athletics conference realignment
JMU President Jonathan Alger and Director of Athletics Jeff Bourne comment on the departure of George Mason University to the Atlantic 10 Conference beginning July 1, 2013...
In speaking for the institution and many of our fans, we are extremely disappointed in this decision, as GMU, a founding member of the CAA, represents the key characteristics by which we judge our own conference affiliation.
This news comes at a time when instability and movement within conference membership continues across the country. The immediate strategy by the conference involves the CAA continuing to look at potential new members, a process that began earlier this year with the addition of the College of Charleston.
From our internal athletics perspective, we are actively engaged in a strategic planning process as a component of the university's Madison Future Commission. In pursuing this plan, we are working with Carr Sports Consulting to assist us in establishing a comprehensive strategic plan that addresses all of our programs and long-term actions. While this process is set to conclude this summer, our planning is fluid and will help position and prepare us for important long-term decisions that are in the best interest of our student-athletes, coaches and the institution.
We look forward to working with our many constituents, both on-campus and around the country, in developing and sharing a strategic plan which positions our institution for long-term success.

Looking Inside: Kids' Organized Closets
Admittedly, closet organization isn't the most glamorous topic but what's the point of a room that looks great, but doesn't work well? The parents who put these rooms together not only have design chops, but they've put the time and effort into creating organized, functional closets for their children too. Here are fifteen super serviceable kids' closets to inspire you to invest in the underpinnings of your home.
Most of these closets are for young children with tiny clothes so, obviously big kids will have different needs. I noticed a few trends among these closets:
• many of these are open, doorless closets, some with curtains
• where there's room some parents put dressers right into the closet
• capitalizing on the small size of clothes, many parents included two or more levels of hanging clothes
• some parents used large wardrobes or armoires used as closets
• bins, bins bins!

Did Ndamukong Suh Deserve to Be Fined for Kicking Matt Schaub? — Sports Survey of the Day
Detroit Lions defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh has earned himself a reputation in the NFL as a dirty player, but was his move on Thanksgiving intentional?
In what we are dubbing "the kick heard round the world," Ndamukong Suh and his foot met up with Houston Texans quarterback Matt Schaub and his groin. Suh says it was an accident.
However, the NFL seems to think that it was deliberate. They have fined Suh $30,000 for the kick. According to Yahoo, that means that Suh basically played for free last week. Did he deserve a fine? NFL policy says yes, but Suh is maintaining his innocence.
