On Tuesday, November 30, 2004 at 11:00 a.m, the second annual Jeffrey M.Trent Lecture in Cancer Research was presented by Dr. Lee Hartwell, a 2001 Nobel Laureate and the President and Director of the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center. The lecture, entitled Opportunities to Improve Cancer Outcomes took place on the National Institutes of Health (NIH) campus at Lipsett Auditorium in Building 10.
Dr. Lee Hartwell has been studying the yeast cell for more than 35 years. Using the budding yeast that is essential for brewing beer and baking bread, Dr. Hartwell identified many genes that control cell division. Using yeast as a model organism presented many advantages for this work, including its rapid division time, its facile genetic system, and its budding shape. The genes that control cell division in yeast subsequently have been found also to control cell division in humans and often to be the site of alteration in cancer. In addition to displaying alterations in cell division, cancer cells, unlike normal cells, also are genetically unstable. Dr. Hartwell also turned to yeast to investigate the basis for accurate cellular reproduction and discovered what are now called "checkpoint" genes. These genes are involved in detecting mistakes have been made during cellular reproduction and can halt cell division so that repair can take place.
Dr. Hartwell was born on October 30, 1939, in Los Angeles. In 1961, he earned his B.S. at the California Institute of Technology and, in 1964, earned his Ph.D. from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology under the mentorship of Dr. Boris Magasanik. He performed his postdoctoral work at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies in 1964-1965 with Dr. Renato Dulbecco. Dr. Hartwell was an assistant professor at the University of California, Irvine from 1965 to 1968. He joined the University of Washington faculty in 1968 and has been a Professor of Genome Sciences there since 1973. In 1996, he joined the faculty of the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle and, in 1997, became its President and Director.
Dr. Hartwell is the recipient of many national and international scientific awards, including the 2001 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine. Other honors bestowed upon Dr. Hartwell include the Albert Lasker Basic Medical Research Award, the Gairdner Foundation International Award, and the Alfred P. Sloan Award in Cancer Research. He is a member of the National Academy of Sciences.
Dr. Trent was the National Human Genome Research Institute's (NHGRI) founding Scientific Director, serving in this role for more than nine years. His leadership and vision was instrumental in establishing NHGRI's Division of Intramural Research as one of the premier research programs in the world devoted to genetics and genomics. In recognition of his significant contributions to the research environment at NIH, NHGRI established the annual Jeffrey M. Trent Lecture in Cancer Research. This lecture is given by a prominent cancer researcher who brings the kind of energy, creativity and enthusiasm to cancer research that Dr. Trent has exemplified throughout his career.

I wear them and mix them with just about everything. In fact I have a vest on right now. I'm always chilly and I love layering so they're a no brainer. Here's a round up of some of my favorites. That Lulu Lemon number is definitely on my wish list and I own the cherry read J.Crew pretty #1.

Alternate headline: "Christie not running in 2016."
Larry Sabato, director of the Center for Politics at the University of Virginia, says that Republicans remain frustrated with Christie. "We get a slew of e-mail and tweets from Republicans, basically saying, 'forget hell,'" about Christie, he says. "They're not going to forget nor forgive what Christie did at the end of the 2012 campaign. They're just not."
And in Iowa, Republicans are also frustrated with Christie's decision to team up with Obama. "I think it is something they're going to remember," Craig Robinson, former political director of the state GOP and editor of The Iowa Republican, says…
New Hampshire GOP strategist Mike Dennehy agrees that Christie is risking alienating GOP-primary voters. "I think everyone understands in a crisis elected leaders getting together to view devastation," Dennehy remarks. But, he says, Christie "just has to be careful about being seen as too cozy with a president who has been sticking his thumb in the eye of Republicans all across the country." Toward near the end of 2016, he says, "Obama will be most disliked Democrat president Republicans have ever seen." And the Republicans Christie is alienating are some of the most involved in the volunteering, fundraising, and organizing that is so crucial to win primaries in the early states.
"Obama and the Republican governor appeared to be the best of friends Tuesday, smiling and backslapping their way across the Garden State," reports Time. (Jay Carney earlier called Christie's Sandy relief efforts "excellent.") Below you'll find vid of them trying to throw footballs through a tire at a boardwalk game stand; Christie nailed it on the first try while O, true to form, went 0 for 5. (Those weren't his biggest misses today either.) Why would Christie, far ahead in the gubernatorial polls, double down with another conspicuously chummy photo op with Obama knowing that he'll be bludgeoned with it if he runs in 2016? I think he's simply committing to his national brand. He was always going to have trouble winning conservative votes in a national primary but his post-Sandy embrace of Obama last October and subsequent endorsement of gun control sealed the deal. If he runs now, it can only be as an overt out-and-proud centrist, aiming to scoop up 35-40 percent of the GOP electorate while hoping that Rubio, Paul, Jindal et al. split the conservative vote several ways. Either that or he's quietly planning an independent run. Whichever it is, he'll use his friendship with Obama to prove that he's bipartisan and that he can bust through D.C. gridlock like no one else on the political landscape. In the meantime, though, expect to see the photo of Obama clutching that bear in a few thousand Republican primary attack ads.
After the video, go read John Sexton's post on Obama's "emotional" defense to scandal. As silly as today's shenanigans with Christie are, this little Sandy-related photo op is helping O politically just like the last one did.

Andy's Dinosaur Party
Andy wanted a dinosaur party this year, and he wanted to do the menu by himself. He's awesome. However, he asked for a REAL cake this year! Uh...I do doughnut cakes, son, which consists of stacking Krispy Kremes on a plate, maybe your forgot.
Enter Sam's Club. Real live cakes may not be my domestic forte, but easy and efficient are. In fact, you could say when it comes to all things low effort, I'm a pro. Self proclaimed. So I bought a chocolate cake from Sam's and stuck an awesome T-Rex on top. Voila! Dinosaur Cake!!
I bought jars from the dollar store, glued a dino on top and filled them with gumballs, a rocky bouncy ball, Pop Rocks, and a geode for their "thanks for coming" gift.
And for the activity? to the park!! They searched for hidden dinosaur skeletons on the way home, and all were pre-historically happy and well fed.
I love simplicity.
And I love Andy.

Andy is a doll for sure...such a guy !!!!!
Good party. I always did "simple" too when my kids were little.
I just was not that creative with parties.
Matt LOVED dinosaurs and has a whole collection of them which will be handed down to Collin.

THE AUSTIN-BASED Farm Credit Bank of Texas, a $7.4 billion wholesale lender, has reported strong earnings for 2003 and one of the largest patronage distributions in the bank's 87-year history.
Bank net income of $64.8 million for 2003 was nearly double the previous year's income of $32.5 million, due largely to the sale of the bank's mineral rights holdings in November 2003 — a one-time event.
These earnings allowed the Farm Credit Bank of Texas to declare $50.8 million in patronage distributions last year to its stockholders — 22 rural financing cooperatives located in Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi, New Mexico and Texas. These lending associations provide loans and financial services to agricultural producers, agribusinesses, country homeowners and other rural landowners.
"We are extremely pleased that we were able to share our success with our stockholders, who are also our customers, by paying them a substantial patronage on our earnings," said Larry Doyle, the FCBT's chief executive officer. "That is our way of reducing their effective net cost of borrowing, and it is the single greatest advantage of doing business with a cooperatively owned bank."
The bank's gross loan volume of $5.8 billion at Dec. 31, 2003, reflected a modest $8 million increase from Dec. 31, 2002. This figure was impacted by the bank's sale of $300 million in participations in its direct notes from associations in November 2003.
Shareholders' equity at Dec. 31, 2003, totaled $477.6 million, compared with $369 million a year earlier. Return on average assets and return on average shareholders' equity for 2003 increased to 0.92 percent and 16.21 percent, respectively, compared to 0.53 percent and 9.43 percent, respectively, for 2002.

First Lady Michelle Obama, has invited 30 students - five of them from Milton - to help garden at the White House next week, April 4, 2013.
Five Milton students will get the once-in-a-lifetime chance to meet First Lady Michelle Obama next week after being invited to help her plant vegetables in the White House garden.
Superintendent Dr. John Barone said Obama's assistant called him last Friday, and he could barely keep the news quiet.
"Getting a call from the White House is not a daily occurrence," he said.
Barone learned the first lady was aware of the school's efforts in serving healthy, whole foods as called for in federal regulations Mrs. Obama champions.
Food Service Director Steve Marinelli's blog post, "Five Simple Tips to Get Kids Excited about Fruits and Veggies, Vermont Style," was recently featured on the Let's Move blog, Obama's initiative to get kids active and healthy.
Marinelli, five fifth-graders, two teachers (Mrs. Judy Brady and Mr. Christopher Schmid) and a handful of chaperones will fly to the nation's capital on April 3, the day before the event, Barone said.
The five students - Sara Schmoll, Cassie Allen, Hannah Svenson, Nolan Deep and Will Muzzy - were selected by lottery after each homeroom picked three candidates at random. The finalists were selected by their homeroom teachers and their Principal, Mary Jane Stinson. In addition the students wrote essays about the Vermont farm-to-school movement.
Milton received a $7,500 grant to support our Farm to School Initiative. Vermont Agriculture Secretary Chuck Ross told Marinelli his food service model - which makes use of local, fresh produce - is a model for the nation.
And now Milton kids will get a chance to show the nation what they've got. They'll join 25 others at the garden, Barone said.
The superintendent estimates the trip will cost roughly $15,000.00 for airfare, lodging, in-city transportation and meals for the group of 13. The Milton Town School District would like to thanks the following businesses/organizations for their donations to help make this possible:
• The Vt. Community Foundation
• Common Roots
• Hunger Free Vermont
• Vt. Farm to Plate
• Husky (both the local affiliation and the corporate offices)
• Gardner's Supply
• The Vermont Dairy Council
• The Vermont Education Health Initiative (VEHI)
• The Milton Community Youth Coalition
• The Milton Teachers' Association
A special thanks to the Vermont Agency of Education for their encouragement and support.

The Bronze Medal is an honor/souvenir given to celebrate an athlete coming third in an Olympic event. This earns them a place on the podium with the gold and silver medallist, with their flag just below the silver medallist's. Minting these is the responsibility of the host city, with their own custom design upon it.

A piece of the strong-correlations puzzle?
"Quantum matter is everywhere, from the interiors of neutron stars to the electrons in everyday metals. Like ordinary, classical matter, it is made up of many interacting particles. In classical matter, however, it is possible to think of each particle as an individual entity, whereas in quantum matter Heisenberg's uncertainty principle forbids us from telling individual particles apart: their behaviour can only be described collectively. In spite of this, many types of quantum matter are quite well understood from a theoretical point of view. For example, the "electron liquid" that is responsible for the flow of electricity through ordinary metals, the magnetic properties of many insulating materials and the normal and superfluid phases of helium at very low temperatures have all succumbed to the probing of theorists.
But the behaviour of some forms of quantum matter has proved a much harder nut to crack. High-temperature superconductors, for example, are not really understood despite more than two decades of research since they were first discovered. Also mysterious are various exotic types of magnet; while the electrical resistance of most metals increases with the square of their temperature, T, for some magnetic metals like manganese silicon the resistance is proportional to T1.5. And then there is the quark—gluon plasma, which occurs when neutrons are pressed together so tightly that their quarks lose their identity and form a single homogenous liquid. Such a plasma is believed to have formed during the first few microseconds after the Big Bang, but has also recently been recreated in the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) at the Brookhaven National Laboratory in the US, with further experiments planned at CERN's Large Hadron Collider.
All these forms of quantum matter have one thing in common: very strong — rather than weak — correlations between the particles from which they are composed. Materials with weak correlations are relatively easy to understand: as the component particles barely interact with each other, one can extrapolate the behaviour of non-interacting particles (like those in an ideal gas) to get a good insight into how they behave en masse. Strong correlations, however, lead to qualitatively new behaviour. High-temperature superconductors, for example, display not only an unconventional superconducting phase but also mysterious "bad metal" and "pseudogap" behaviours."

I lucked out too, because unlike most French people who hate to read and like everything dubbed for them, FBF also likes to watch things in VO, voix originalle (original voice).
While trying to decide upon a movie to watch, FBF suggested Star Wars. I excitedly agreed, only to find out that the only copies of my beloved Star Wars movies he owns are dubbed. I decided to take one for the team, as well as attempt to improve my French, and we put on Episode V – The Empire Strikes Back.
Movie posters for the American and French versions
We didn't get too far into the film before I started having major issues with whoever did the translations. They were not doing the film justice. I tried my best to ignore the bad translations, which I did, until this happened.
Let me set the scene. Han Solo has just rescued Luke Skywalker from certain peril wandering around aimlessly on the planet Hoth. Han, Chewie, C3PO, R2D2, Luke, and Princess Leia are all in Luke's hospital room. Han teases Leia and accuses her of doing this on purpose in order to get him to stay at the rebel base longer. Then she calls him some names! Some very specific, Star Wars-y names!! She calls him a scruffy-looking nerf herder.
Proof she calls him a nerf herder!
While I don't, and didn't, know the translation for scruffy looking, I expected to hear the word NERF. This word did not leave Princess Leia's lips.
I immediately reached over and paused the movie.
I asked FBF, "est-ce qu'elle a dit 'nerf herder'?" (did she say nerf herder?)
"Non," he replied, "elle a dit, 'Mon dieu, vous êtes si prétencieux, si imbécile, si mal fichu, si effronté.'" (No, she said, 'my god, you are so pretencious, so stupid, so poorly presented, so shameless!)
As you can see, she did not make any allusions to nerf herding what so ever, and choose to instead ramble off some half-rate insults. I was visibly upset. In an effort to calm me down, FBF said, "….mais personne française ne sait quoi est un nerf herder," (…but no French person knows what a nerf herder is).
I exploded. "NOBODY KNEW WHAT A NERF HERDER WAS!! THEY INVENTED IT FOR STAR WARS!!!"
Needless to say, I couldn't bring myself to watch the rest of the film.

Design & Planning Bathroom
From space-saving designs to the latest in sophisticated style, our design tips are made with you and your dream bathroom in mind.
Tips to Avoid Design Disasters
Design Do's & Don'ts
So maybe you still don't know exactly what you should do to design the kitchen or bath of your dreams, but Moen offers you a few tips on some definite do's and don'ts for your upcoming project.
Lighting - always look at the lighting
Many kitchens and bathrooms have fluorescent lighting—which only belongs in the garage. Kitchens and baths are the worst places for fluorescent light, because it gives everything a blue tint, making your food and people unattractive, so change out that fluorescent fixture. If you have the ability, try adding halogen lighting to your space, since it gives the closest approximation to daylight and makes everything sharper, clearer and cleaner in your kitchen or bath.
Appliances - coordinate kitchen appliances
Don't mix and match your appliances! If you have the ability, get your appliances to coordinate, since having one black, one white and one stainless appliance makes your kitchen look disjointed. The key to proper design is to universally communicate a message, so appliances are key. Same with hardware, knobs, faucets and accessories, be cautious that you're communicating the finish universally.
Storage - create adequate storage to avoid clutter
Don't leave too much out on the counter. Since insufficient storage is a problem for many kitchens or bathrooms, people tend to clutter countertops and toilets, making the space seem cramped and uncomfortable. Look for other storage solutions, such as countertop organizational systems, or find ways to organize your pantry and cupboards to accommodate more items that you could put away rather than leaving them out. The rule is, have out only what you need and figure out a way to organize and put away the rest that you're not using consistently.
Metal Finish - coordinate finish for a polished look
One of the easiest ways to create a professionally designed look in your bathroom is to coordinate the metal finishes. Start by updating the faucet with a new, sleek style in a hot new finish, such as antique nickel, oil rubbed bronze, brushed nickel or stainless steel. Coordinating the finish throughout a room is a great way to pull it together. Be sure not to stop with the faucet—change your drawer pulls, knobs, towel bars, faucets, showerheads, accessories and even your framed artwork. Not everything needs to be exactly the same finish, but be sure the tonal colors are relatively the same hue.
Accessories - less is more
Don't over do it in your kitchen and bathroom. In kitchens, tops of wall-hung cabinets tend to be a trap for clutter with ivy or other fake plants. Instead choose one beautiful plant on your countertop that adds the vibrancy of a plant or adds a color, such as an orchid. It will bloom quickly and loves the moisture that kitchens and baths provide.
For baths, choose accessories that are beautiful and functional to pull together your design. Adding complementary or contrasting color towels, bathmats and shower curtains can brighten up your bathroom and create a finished and cohesive look. In addition, accessories such as toothbrush and cup holders, towel bars and soap dishes available in coordinating finishes to match your faucets can add not only style, but additional storage solutions to avoid clutter. Just remember, depending on the size of your bathroom space, you may need to limit your choices. Be sure to choose your favorites that communicate your message effectively while maintaining a clean look and feel.

Though he overcame cancer, Jack Marshall Shimko was no match for the recent large ocean swells and rough seas off the Southern California coast.
The Newport Beach native had to divert his quest to paddle to each of the eight Channel Islands — more than 200 miles — and was forced to skip an island and rest for a day.
But Shimko picked up his paddle again Monday and resumed his quest. This, his second annual Paddle 2 Live, concludes at the Newport Pier on Saturday.
Saturday's events, including a stand-up paddling race and an after party, are intended to raise funds for the John Wayne Cancer Foundation. The group makes grants to organizations such as Reel Recovery, which takes male cancer patients fly fishing, and the John Wayne Cancer Institute, which conducts research and oncology training.
Shimko, who survived Hodgkin's lymphoma, planned a 260-mile journey from Point Conception to each of the islands and then into Newport Beach. He alternates between a stand-up paddleboard and a traditional prone board, depending on the ocean conditions. But on Sunday he stroked against 30-knot gusts and 4- to 8-foot swells, and had to re-chart his course, skipping San Nicolas Island.
Followed by a 125-foot catamaran support boat, Shimko is expected to reach Blackies beach, between the Newport Pier and the 22nd Street lifeguard tower, at noon Saturday. More information is available at http://www.paddle2live.org.

"Perfect for my French doors"

I wanted shades that would fit French doors and block a view of a house directly across from mine while still allowing a view of the sorroundind landscape. These are perfect! The up/ down feature is just what I needed. They are a beautiful fit on the doors and look great. Delivery was amazingly fast after I placed the order and installation was quick and easy. Wonderful product and great service.View this product
"Perfect Fit"
By cathy from Portland, ME
Great price on these Bali Shades. The color enhances the room and makes it cozy when the shades are drawn. When the shades go up they are thin and almost go away. Great product and have recommended them for years.View this product

Along with the rising number of cremations in recent years comes a wide range of options for storing cremated remains and memorializing deceased loved ones. Among those options, cremation jewelry is quickly becoming a favorite choice of survivors who wish to pay tribute to their departed loved ones and hold them forever close at heart.
Here are some of the reasons more and more people are choosing cremation jewelry from the large assortment offered by Perfect Memorials:
- Cremation jewelry comes in many styles, themes, shapes and sizes.
- Personalization is offered on many jewelry pieces.
- Allows your departed loved one to remain close to you forever.
From simple cylinders, to traditional hearts and religious symbols, to unique and exquisite works of art – cremation jewelry comes in a wide range of styles to suit any taste. The cremation jewelry pieces offered by Perfect Memorials are crafted from a variety of materials, including:
- Stainless steel
- Sterling Silver
- White or yellow solid 14K gold
- 14K gold vermeil
- Glass
- Wood
- Stone
Cremation jewelry may be adorned with synthetic stones, such as diamonds, rubies, sapphires, and emeralds. Most cremation jewelry selections can be personalized with engraving of text, photos and artwork.
Following the death and cremation of a loved one, there is question of how to store or share the cremains. Rather than burying or storing the cremains in one large urn, cremation jewelry is a perfect way to share the urn with family or friends who may want to keep a small portion.
The cremation jewelry is designed to hold a small portion of cremains, locks of hair, burial soil or memorial flowers. Most jewelry will hold about ½ pinch of cremains, with the exception of the cylinder-shaped jewelry that will hold about one pinch of cremains.
Perfect Memorials offers cremation jewelry to fit any budget, from simple pieces under $29.95 to the most exquisite designs made of precious metals and gemstones.
Filling and Caring For Cremation Jewelry
If you are considering a purchase of cremation jewelry, you may be wondering just how the ashes will be placed in the jewelry you choose. The process is really quite simple.
Included in each order is a fill kit that will assist in filling the pendants with cremains, hair, soil or burial flowers. One fill kit per 5 pendants or jewelry pieces is sent with each order. Additional fill kits can be purchased separately on the website.
Each cremation jewelry piece can be filled with a small funnel through a screw-type opening, which you can open by twisting with your fingers or with a small provided screwdriver, depending on the design. A small toothpick can help you guide the cremains through the funnel and in to the cremains chamber. The toothpick will also be used to remove any cremains in the threads of the piece as well.
Most styles of cremation jewelry are designed with a secure seal, however it is recommended to use the included glue to permanently seal the piece. Simply apply the adhesive to the screw before re-inserting it into the opening, then twist to close tightly. The included glue does take 24 hours to cure and will only dry on areas closed off from oxygen (the glue can be wiped off the pendant if any should bleed when the screw is re-inserted.
It is not recommended to wear your cremation jewelry while bathing, sleeping or any other strenuous activity. Further care instructions will be included with your order.
Should you wish to have someone help you fill your cremation jewelry, simply call your local funeral home or crematory. Most funeral service professionals will be happy to assist you for free or at a small fee.

How to select the right size urn
Enter in an approximate weight of your loved one before cremation and we will tell you the size needed
Need more help?
Try finding an urn with our easy cremation urn finder.
Choosing the right size urn is easy. For every one pound before cremation you will need 1 cubic inch of volume. For example, a loved one weighing 200 pounds will need an urn that is at least 200 cubic inches or larger. Choosing an urn larger then you need is OK.

Bonus Content En Espanol, More on avoiding residues En Espanol NMPF's Guide on Preventing Drug Residues 1% Too Many Any slip-up, however, can mean a unpleasant call from your milk handler and a potential visit from your state department of agriculture. Avoiding residues takes constant vigilance and attention to detail, says Norbert Nigon, a veterinarian with the Minnesota Department of Agriculture's Dairy and Feed Inspection Division. "Continuing to rely on testing cows that are known to have been treated will only keep milk residues at current levels," he says. "Most violations are caused by treated cows that had no identifying information at the time of milking to indicate that their milk was to be withheld from the bulk tank." Follow-up visits to Minnesota farms with reports of residues in milk show that 95% of residues were caused by milking a treated cow or dry cow by mistake. And only one in seven farms tested the bulk tank before loading the milk onto a tanker or had written treatment protocols from their veterinarians. There are seven simple steps to reduce the potential for residues, Nigon says: 1. Keep detailed animal treatment records for at least two years. Records should include cow ID, date and time (a.m. or p.m.); diagnosis, drug used, amount of drug given, route of administration (intermuscular, subcutaneous, IV or intramammary) and initials of person giving the drug. 2. Marking all cows, especially dry cows, with highly visible indicators before treatment. 3. House treated cows in a separate treatment pen. 4. Limit product treatment to 10 cc intramuscular or 15 cc subcutaneous per injection site. 5. Withhold milk for the entire prescribed withdrawal period, even if the milk test is clear earlier. 6. Test the tank before loading. 7. Check animal treatment records before any animal leaves your farm for any reason. Follow withhold periods for marketing animals for meat consumption. Back to news

This is part 1 of a new series entitled 'Under the Radar'. In it, we will be looking at stories we believe will have a major impact on MotoGP and World Superbikes in the next season, but which are not currently receiving much attention. While everyone expects Marc Marquez in MotoGP to be a big story, or Valentino Rossi's return to Yamaha, these are the stories which you won't hear much about by the start of the season, but which could end up playing a major role in 2013.
Everyone can guess the big names that are likely to make an impact in MotoGP in 2013: Marc Marquez will clearly be an exciting rookie to watch, Valentino Rossi should be competitive on a Yamaha, Pol Espargaro looks set to dominate Moto2, and Maverick Viñales and Luis Salom will be major players in Moto3. But look beyond the obvious candidates, and there are a number of candidates who could cause a surprise in 2013. Here are some of the riders to watch this season.

Down 2-0 as the Western Conference finals shift to Oklahoma City, the Thunder held a team meeting Wednesday to try and regroup before Game 3 against the San Antonio Spurs.
The Thunder have struggled to corral a San Antonio offense that is clicking on all cylinders during a 20-game winning streak, the longest any NBA team has been able to maintain into the playoffs.
Trying to rally from a 22-point deficit in Game 2, the Thunder may have found something that works. They toughened up, turned it into a more physical contest and cut the lead to six.
Coach Scott Brooks says the Thunder will need that rugged approach and a better sustained effort to beat San Antonio in Game 3 on Thursday night.

The Outdoor Track & Field season started with a bit of both for Lipscomb Friday and Saturday at the University of North Florida Invite in Jacksonville, Fla..
Though the distance changed from the mile to the 1500m for outdoor track, Ryan Chastain continued his record breaking campaign. His winning time of 3:51.54 eclipsed the previous Lipscomb school record of 4:00.44 (Bob Martin, 1977) by nearly nine seconds.
Freshman Isaiah Greer also broke the school record in the race with a time of 3:59.95.
"Both Ryan and Isaiah ran great!," head coach Bill Taylor said. "What can I say? Ryan is running at a whole different level than he has in the past. Mostly it's confidence. He believes!
"Isaiah is already putting together an amazing freshman season. He led off our conference championship DMR and is as tough and consistent as anyone on the team. We shouldn't forget that Isaiah broke a 33-year-old school record today too."
Isaiah earned his own school record on Friday in the men's 3000m Steeplechase, finishing third overall with a new school record of 9:48.56, breaking teammate Jonathan Williams's school record of 9:52.36 from 2008. Freshman Ashton Fisher also broke the school record with a time of 9:51.58.
In the women's 1500m Amanda Twigg continued her excellent freshman campaign, winning a tactical race in 4:52.44. She led a trio of Lipscomb freshmen women under 5:00 in the first outdoor meet of the year (Meredith McFarlin 4:58.05, Emily Longden 4:58.94).
"Amanda had to lead the whole thing and the pace was very slow through 1100m because nobody wanted to push the pace. Then Amanda put in a nice surge and eventually pulled away late on the backstretch.
"When I inherited this program three years ago we didn't have a single woman break five in the 1500m. Last year, my second year here, we had five women break five."
This year three freshmen women finish under five in the first outdoor meet of the season. Priya Pappu ran 5:00.12.
"It was nice for Amanda to get a win in the 1500m," Taylor said. "In the 800m Friday night a girl cut off the leaders and knocked three women down at the 200m mark. Amanda was one of them. She got back up, shook it off, worked her way back into the field and amazingly ran 2:22 finishing fourth. It was frustrating for her, though these things happen in races. I was proud of the way she reacted and made the best of it.
"I know we aren't where we need to be yet, but look at the progress we have made in less than three years. I'm not satisfied at all, but I am happy with how far we have come already and where we are going. We get better every year and this is going to be a great season…a terrific next step in our quest to be one of the top NCAA Division I programs in the nation."
Two other school records were set at the meet. Sara Stephens posted a 200m time of 25.79, bettering Cree Nix record of 26.35, finishing 13th. Sara then anchored the women's 4x400m relay that included Anika Piorkowski, Valerie Winkler and Amanda Twigg, to a fourth place finish in a school record 4:03.33.
"Sara ran very well," Taylor said. "She has a ton of talent and range from 100m to 800m. We had three freshmen on the relay. We are a young team with a very bright future."
The 10,000m runs were also a highlight for the Lipscomb teams.
"Both teams gained a lot of respect for the 10,000m race and how hard our three athletes worked here," Taylor said. "They literally ran until they had nothing left. I rarely put a freshman in the 10,000m.
"In fact, we've only had two people even run a 10K in track since I've been here. Jeff is made for this race though so I made an exception. He is such a strong true endurance runner."

Please note: You are viewing an archived Bucknell University news story. It is possible that information found on this page has become outdated or inaccurate, and links and images contained within are not guaranteed to function correctly.
LEWISBURG, Pa. — The Bucknell University Board of Trustees has approved the construction of Academic West, a new facility to house 70,000 square feet of classrooms, offices, laboratories and meeting areas. The building, which the University expects to complete in 2013, will form the west side of a new quad extending south from Bertrand Library.
"This is a major step forward in the excellence of this great campus," said Bucknell's president, John Bravman. "In recent years, Bucknell has added dozens of faculty members to achieve the five-course teaching load and reduce the student-faculty ratio, creating more time for faculty-student interaction around scholarship, research and mentoring. Academic West is a critical step in supporting these goals."
Bucknell is constructing Academic West as part of the Campus Master Plan initiated in 2007, which serves as a blueprint for future campus buildings and green spaces. Moving faculty in the social sciences to the new facility will create a domino effect on campus, freeing up offices and classrooms for other academic programs.
Preparing for the future
"Everything we are putting in the ground now is preparing Bucknell for the future," said Dennis Hawley '72, associate vice president for facilities.
The three-story building will contain 59 faculty offices, along with large and medium-sized classrooms, laboratories and hearth space for faculty and students to gather outside of class time. It will be LEED certified at a silver level, meeting strict standards for energy efficiency and environmental impact and stewardship.
"An important way to prepare for the future is to make sure that we are environmentally responsible," said Hawley, who is also the chair of the Campus Greening Council.
In fall 2010, the University began investing $17 million in the infrastructure for the new quad, establishing utility distribution systems, such as steam, fire protection, water lines, electric and internet lines, roads, walks and parking lots, plus essentials for any new construction. Two existing fraternity houses are being demolished to make way for the new project, and two new affinity houses are already under construction as homes for those fraternities. The work on the 50-acre site is the largest facilities project in Bucknell history. || Photo gallery
Construction costs nearly covered
Pledges and gift revenues have accounted for almost $22 million in private donations to cover the estimated $24 million cost of construction. Major donors include Trustee Emeritus Robert C. Rooke, trustees William Morrow '70 and Steve Holmes '79, who is chair of the comprehensive campaign and parent of three Bucknell children. Bucknell continues to raise funds for the facility and will begin seeking construction bids in early 2012.
Other proposed structures for the area south of the library include Academic East, a 60,000-square-foot facility facing Academic West; residence halls; a student commons and an arts building.

Cobra Class Pre-Con Tactical Base:
Considered one of the best of the Pre-Con base designs, the Cobra remains in production. The structure when assembled is 500 meters across and three stories tall. Firepower is deployed from three primary turrets and supported by a variety of wall cut outs and mounts. The Cobra class base has a level one command and control center, a large medical surgical hospital, and six pre-configurable bays.
Available Bay-configurations:
1. Mech Support Bay: this bay can handle minor and moderate mech repair, as well as rearmament and reloading. The bay can handle four mechs at a time, or can be fully deployed for major repair of one mech at a time. The bay has gantries as well as basic equipment for handling repairs, but comes with no integral inventory or parts. This must be procured seperately.
2. Armor Support Bay: Like a mech bay, this configuration allows for the service, resupply, and repair of armored vehicles. It can service six at a time, splitting into 3 alcoves on two levels. Vehicles under 65 tons can use the upper bay, more than this and they are confined to the lower bay. All repairs, minor to major can be carried out in this bay set up.
3. Infantry Barracks Bay: This pre-configuration provides barracks, an arsenal, and recreation area for an infantry company. This includes a first aid station for non-life threatening injuries.
4. Weapon Emplacement Bay: This pre-configuration increases the firepower of the base, mounting either artillery grade weapons for long range support, or heavy direct fire weapons such as large bore autocannons, dual mount plasma or particle cannons, or other weapons set-ups.
5. Cargo Bay: This bay provides armored and secure storage for base supplies. Generally any Cobra class base will have at least one bay automatically configured to supply storage. The bay has explosive countermeasures, an ammunition explosion will destroy the bay, but the base will survive siad explosion with a minimum of damage to its other systems.
6. Advanced CIC Bay: mounting enhanced electronics and communications equipment, this bay can function as the primary CIC for an entire planetary force. These bays come with the bonus feature of providing ECM functions for the entire base, making it much harder to locate.
The Cobra class base has three weapons towers each topped with a mobile weapons turret. The armored turret, like the bay system, comes in a variety of configuarions.
1. Hammerhead: The turret mounts a pair of 20 tube swarm missile launchers. The turret is effective against air and ground targets.
2. Salamander: The turret mounts twin-linked particle cannons. Accurate and deadly, this turret is effective for eliminating enemy mechs and armor.
3. Buster: Turret mounts four linked medium autocannons. The guns can project a variety of ammunition including flak, anti-infantry flechette, and armor piercing rounds to deadly effect. The Buster does require an ample ammunition supply.
4. Thor: The turret mounts a single computer controlled gauss rifle/rail gun. The Thor matches the Salamander's firepower without the heatwash at the cost of requiring ammunition.
The Pre-Constructed Tactical Base
The Pre-Con Base was designed to support a technologically advanced military force operating on undeveloped or primitive worlds. The base is assembled from preconstructed pieces that are generally transported in place by dropship. While not a match defensively compared to built in place fortresses, the Pre-Con base can be dismantled and repacked onto a dropship and moved as the situation warrants. This mixture of firepower, mobility, and defensive power make the Pre-Con bases popular, if expensive, additions to a military force.
Repairing a Pre-con Tactical base is also easy. Damaged sections or components are usually either left in place or destroyed completely with demolition charges and replacement pieces are put into the base. With proper logistical support a Pre-Con base can be almost indesctructable.
Costs and Limitations
The Pre-Constructed Base requires a large single, or series of factories to support its construction. The pieces it is constructed from may not be complicated, but they are large. Moving the Pre-Con base also isnt an easy proposition. The walls and the supporting members are easy enough to store in a large cargo bay, the components such as the gun turrets are large and cumbersome, and keeping track of all the equipment contained in the various bays can be a tedious process. That being said, the usage of construction mecha, computerized inventories, and large dropships, these problems can be overcome. Once the cost and manufacturing and logistical bases are covered, the Pre-Con base is an attractive alternative to the quick set up canvas tent, or easily captured or destroyed mobile HQ vehicles. Also, when operating on primitive worlds that lack the infrastructure to work on mecha, a pre-con base is indispencable.
Roles of the Pre-Con Tactical Base
Planetary CIC Base: utilizing the advanced command bay, the Planetary CIC base provided intel and coordination when conducting planetary scale operations. This can be a quick deploy by an assaulting force, or a secondary command center for a defending force. This type of installation with be located in a remote area, and have large supply bays and rely more on secrecy than firepower.
Forward Fire Base: the fire base mounts heavy weaponry at the expense of any repair bays. With artillery installed and heavy turret guns, the forward base is an anchor for an attacking force. While advancing, it can provide firepower at range and coordinate air strikes and such. On the defensive it is a strongpoint to rally the besieged attackers.
Mobile Yard: Mounting almost nothing but repair and resupply bays and cargo bays, the mobile yard keeps a fighting force on its feet, keeping mecha and vehicles in solid condition and ammo bins full. This sort of base will either be part of a logistical resupply area, deploying a quick set landing pad for dropships to resupply, or will be a forward repair hub keeping an heavily embattled force on the go. Mobile yards are frequent targets, and lacking weaponry beyond the turrets, are highly dependant on their mecha and armor forces for defence.
Planetary Infiltrator: The PI is deployed in a remote area and serves as a recon and observation base. Like the CIC base, it relys on stealth rather than firepower. Once planetary actions commence, the PI can easily switch over to Planetary CIC control.
Population Control: The least popular type of Pre-Con base, this base mounts infantry barracks bays and supports a large garrison of troops. It is deployed in areas of civil unrest to operate as a pacification base. PopCon is a slang term for a base that operates on draconian gestapo tactics to keep a rebellious population in line. PopCons are most common on recently conquered worlds with strong loyalties beyond their immediate location.
Because knowing is half the battle!

Salvador Dalí on "What's My Line."
In his own mind at least, he was performer, sports figure, leading man, humorist, comic artist, published author, and, oh yes, painter. This made him a tricky candidate for the old TV game show "What's My Line?" where contestants tried to guess a person's profession.
Notice how he shrewdly sizes up the room at the outset, and then maintains a deadpan sprezzatura afterward.

If you'd like to help with Clojure tickets, there are always plenty of tickets that need attention. Please review the overall JIRA workflow and become a contributor before you look for ways to help! That way your contribution can be accepted quicker later on in the process.
In several of the items below, it is important to refer to the guidelines described in:
If you are a Contributor but not a Screener, you can help in the following ways:
- Review the Needs Patches report - these are vetted tickets for the current release that do not yet have a patch. Add a patch and set the Patch field to Code or Code and Test as appropriate. This ticket can then be screened by a Screener.
- Review the Incomplete report - these are vetted tickets for the current release with a patch that has issues. In many cases, the patch author will be working this but if an incomplete ticket has lain dormant for a while, you might be able to update it according to the comments and move it forward.
- Review the Open report - these are new tickets. Review them according to the guidelines for tickets and patches and what Screeners look for when triaging in JIRA workflow. Update the ticket or add a patch to improve the quality of this ticket.
- Review the Screenable report - if you'd like to practice to become a Screener, check out the advice in Screening Tickets.
If you are a Screener, you should work through the following activities:
- Screening
- Review the Screenable report: these should be tickets that have been triaged and vetted as good problems and that have a patch. Decide whether ticket and patch are good (Screened) or insufficient (Incomplete).
- Review the Incomplete report: these are tickets that have previously been screened and marked as Incomplete. For tickets that have changed recently, check whether the patch author has updated their patch or ticket and re-screening should occur.
- Triaging
- Review the Open report: these are new tickets that should be evaluated for Triage.

I hadn't known about the "right to be forgotten" until Europe's top court ruled last week that Google was required to remove links from its search engine upon an individual's request.
A new right! I should be happy.
According to the court ruling, people are entitled to shape what is seen about them on the search engine, our collective memory aide.
The ruling won't affect U.S. Google users, yet it could spur calls here for "right to be forgotten" reforms.
While being able to selectively erase people's memories has a utopian appeal, I worry about another long-held right, one that isn't in the U.S. Constitution either — my Right to Google.
Like many people, I feel entitled to find out stuff about people without them controlling the experience.
Googling someone is what we do before and after we meet potential baby sitters, tax preparers, gardeners, mayoral candidates, karate instructors, long-lost friends — in other words, everyone. Often it's a frivolous pursuit, but it can cough up critical information that can change the course of lives.
"There is a marquee quality about the top 10 links," said Jonathan Zittrain, professor at Harvard Law School and the Harvard Kennedy School of Government. "One or two search engines hold the power to define you. This is your background check."
If someone can erase unsavory parts of themselves on the search engine, Googling, or as Google Executive Chairman Eric Schmidt put it, "the right to know," could be at risk.
Most of us of course don't just stop with Google. We also scour Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter to check each other out.
But those services let people shape their images. Google, in contrast, seems indifferent, although there are some ways to adjust the results.
"Most users don't understand that search results are not the truth," said Jonah Stein, founder of ItsTheRoi, a search engine marketing company. "If you can hire people, you can manipulate it."
But that's going to cost you. Currently, individuals and corporation can pay search engine reputation companies to improve what is seen in Google results.
The European ruling offers an alternative for individuals, Stein said.
In the European court case, a Spaniard complained that when his name was Googled, it linked to an old newspaper article about his long-resolved legal troubles.
The court said the article could stay, but the link from Google had to be deleted.
"It is about protecting yourself, and having a bit of privacy," said Michael Fertik, chief executive of Reputation.com, who welcomed the ruling. "Now you have a different way to address your Google problem."
Some described the ruling as akin to saying a book can stay in the library, but the index to find it has to be ripped up. Now a person has to go to the library to find the book, effectively. That reminds me of the bad old days when information was harder to find.
My inconvenience, Fertik said, is less important than the suffering of people who are grappling with Google results that forever link them to old court cases and bankruptcy filings, as well as mean things an ex-spouse blogged years ago. This can be painful and damaging.
"You may have to be a little less lazy," Fertik said. "You may have to go three websites. You may have to go to the library again. On the other hand if you are someone being attacked, your life, income and livelihood is under threat."
Mug shots are a good example of the problems of information in the digital era. They are public, but are often unseen especially if an arrestee isn't well-known and isn't charged. Some websites, however, collect and publish arrestees' mug shots and then offer to remove them for a fee. Last year, Google tweaked its algorithm to lower the links to these websites in a person's Google results.
Given the gravity that Google results can have on a person's life, perhaps the answer is to give everyone control of the first few pages, as long as it's clearly labeled, Zittrain suggested.
That sounds fine if it makes people feel better.
But if the right to be forgotten is established in the U.S., thus trumping the right to know, I'm not sure where I'll turn. Yes, I can go to the library and courthouse, but I won't do that to find out a little more about a new neighbor.
It wouldn't be Information Armageddon but Googling — the liberating feeling that you can find out something quickly by typing in a few words in a search engine — wouldn't be the same.

A few things have really struck me over the past few months.
One: Making games is hard. Whether you are an indie working at home to AAA in a studio with thousands of people.
Two: Everyone who makes games are different. We all have flaws, weaknesses, strengths and motives. But we all love our craft. And we all have our own reason for wanting to make games
Three: You can work your ass off, pour your heart and soul into a game, but it doesn't mean everyone will get it.
This has all come mostly from watching Indie Game: The Movie, my past year working at a AAA studio and by extension; my lack of time for playing games.
Firstly, Indie Game: The Movie! For those who haven't seen it I recommend doing so as so as you can! It follows Team Meat on their final push and release of Super Meat Boy, Phil Fish and the development of Fez, then finally a retrospective look at the development and release of Braid from Jon Blow. All the devs come across very well in the documentary, mostly for the fact we see their very human selves. These people are far from perfect. Since they are just people like ourselves. But the one thing they all have in common is their incredible drive to communicate to the rest of the world through the medium of games. The desire to create worlds and experiences for people to enjoy and by doing so, they put not only their skills, but their entire being on show for everyone to see, experience and criticise. The internet is a scary place, where people can troll others, pick them to pieces for sport and doing so anonymously. Where people can hide behind screen names and avatars and tear down years of work and dedication with just a few choice words. As Fish says "an army of ass-holes" and it's totally true.
So why do it, when there are such big stakes to play with and lose? Well, as I'm sure any artist knows, it never feels like it's a choice. It's something you just have to do. That no matter what we may lose. That we need to give it our best shot or die trying. Since all we have in this world is to try and make a positive impact on other people's lives. This is the only way we can ever feel like we have achieved what we set out to do. Whether it be with pictures you paint. Models you sculpt. Code that you build. Worlds you create. Or a life affirming experience you craft.
My time in AAA has been an interesting time to say the least. In fact my life in general has been a mish-mash of some of the best and worst times of my entire life this past year. Stuff that I will never forget and will permanently shape me for the rest of my life. It's taught me that life is hard. But that following your dreams and passions is the most important thing. That no matter what life takes from us. That we can still control our dreams and make every effort to aim straight for them.
But working in a big(ish) studio means there's a lot of pressure and things that you can't change. So you have to learn to be flexible and work with how things are. With deadlines you need give all you can to get your work done. And the pressure can be quite exhilarating but also can be a strain on both your mind and body. So, with the little freetime I have. I like to make sure I'm using my time wisely. This will normally be trying to do art work outside of work. But also catching up on the media I love; GAMES! I'm mostly a PC gamer and am very keen on classic adventure games among other. I would love to play games that are 80+ hours long, but I do not have the time nor patience. Sad fact - gamers in full time employment often have a HUGE back catalogue of games to catch up on. It was with the disappearance of my freetime that I got more into indie games. Small passion projects created by a few individuals. Normally with no budget and no publishers. These experiences are unadulterated and are about you have a direct link into that developers head.
These experiences are often very cutting edge. But while gamers love to say they love the new and exciting. They can also be a breed that is commonly scared of change. This is why so much AAA is based on iterative sequels of well known (and well received) IP. Now, these are great, well polished games that are epic and very shiny. But being someone who comes from a background of pixel goodness with amusing writing. These games tend to miss a trick for me personally, mostly due to their lack of personality and quirks. It's hard to get personality and quirk right, but when you do, my god it's good! And so many developers who go indie share this as their ethos for making games. And aren't afraid to show it.
So, in short, please support indie devs as well as AAA. Know that if you need to feel connected to something on a more personal level, experience a crafted experience, even if it's not perfect. It will be how someone else wanted you to experience it. So vote with your nerd dollars/pounds/yen/euros, since we often forget, these are people, individuals. So if you like them, let them know by buying their games and support them in being able to make more in the future.

Flatirons, Colorado
I have been fortunate to climb big mountains all over the world. These pictures are some of my favorites climbing scenes that have people in them on Everest, Broad Peak, Aconcagua, Denali and of course, my Colorado 14ers.
The Mountains Gallery has pictures without people.
I own the original hi-resolution versions of all these images if you are interested in purchasing one.

Hi again. Why am I not in favor of ecological apocalypticism (or in fact of any form apocalypticism)?
It's just not good for ecological being-together. If your view is that the world is ending (and soon), then why worry, why bother?
I think it also marshals the masochism and sadism we sublimate in elegy: in ecological apocalypticism, we witness our deaths, from an impossible future vantage point.
Frank Zappa's words about religious war could also apply to ecological disaster, and the long-term, no-gratifiation energy it will take to deal with it:
You can't run a race without no feet, and pretty soon there won't be no street for joggers to jog on and doggies to dog on. Religious fanatics can make it be all gone. It won't blow up and disappear, it'll just look ugly for a thousand years.

How Do We Fulfill the Promise of Public Transit in Los Angeles?
November 5, 2013
More News & Resources:
With a $40 billion voter-approved transit investment being deployed over the next 20 years, Los Angeles County residents are charting a path to a new future. The transit system expansion will add 102 miles of rail transit and almost 100 new stations, while creating 400,000 new jobs.[1] While the City of Los Angeles is ground zero for much of this change - at the core of the transit network and with 113 current and planned stations - 63 other jurisdictions across the County will also enjoy frequent transit, making the scale of change as record-breaking as the pace of change.
How does public transportation affect economic mobility?

More News & Resources:
$code Jeff Wood, Reconnecting America's New Media Director and Chief Cartographer, participated in a radio program on Bay Area station KALW on Sept. 10. The Your Call program featured a conversation about how the expansion of mass transit system would affect economic productivity. The show discussed Reconnecting America's Moving to Work in the Bay Area report and new research by UC Berkeley showing that depending on the size of a city, the economic value of transit could be worth anywhere from $1.5 million to almost $2 billion dollars a year. In addition to Wood, program host Rose Aquilar's guests included Dan Chatman, assistant professor of city and regional planning at UC Berkeley, and Debbie Hale, Executive Director Contract Performance Goals and Objectives The Transportation Agency for Monterey County (TAMC).

Across The Regions: Income Mobility And Access To Opportunity
July 25, 2013
More News & Resources:
A lot of attention has recently been centered on what is considered to be "the most detailed portrait yet of income mobility in the United States" The study, jointly conducted by economics faculty at Harvard and UC Berkeley, reinforces past research on the subject of income mobility, in that children born into poverty face great difficulty in rising out of poverty over their lifetime. What makes this particular study unique is how it highlights the stark differences of opportunities for lifetime income mobility across the metropolitan areas of America, which, as summarized by David Leonhardt of the New York Times, "allows researchers to consider local factors that previous mobility studies could not – including a region's geography."

Written by contributing writer, Trina Holden.
Chances are this week you're in the thick of making a list and checking it twice and I'm sure you don't think you need one more thing to think about. But even while encouraging simplicity this Christmas, I'm gonna throw out a unique challenge.
I'm gonna suggest you add one more thing to your list.
Your husband.
Yes, I know you have him on your list already, and maybe you've already found just the right gift to bless him on Christmas Day. But what about today? What about the busy weeks counting down to Christmas, when your time and energy are stretched to fulfill all that this season requires of you as a wife and mother and homemaker? Is there a way you can keep this most important relationship – this man God has given you, in the forefront of your thoughts, maintaining your friendship even in this hectic season?
There is a way you can add a little holiday spice to your marriage. It's so simple, it's almost corny. But I've been keeping this little tradition with my husband for 6 years and every year he says it's his favorite part of the whole season.
We call it "Twelve Days" but it has nothing to do with Partridges and Pear Trees. The idea is that I give him a little gift on each of the twelve days leading up to Christmas. The gifts are not big, often just a favorite cookie or candy, but the value of the gift lies in that I've thought of him. When he finds 3 envelopes on the 'Third Day of Christmas' or a half a dozen of his favorite cookies on Day Six, his eyes light up like a kid at Christmas, and I fall in love with the tradition (and him!) all over again.
If you'd like to start this tradition in your house, it's not too late! I usually call Dec. 13th our 'first day', so you still have time to gather some things from around the house or on your next trip to town. Here's a list of items to get you started…
Day 1: Any single object – this is where I usually spend a little money and give him something I'd otherwise have tucked under the tree. A hat, tool, piece of masculine jewelry, etc.
Day 2: Think pairs! Socks, gloves, matching mugs for him and her, sunglasses, pants, long underwear, tickets to a concert or a game.
Days 3, 4, 5, and 6: What comes in packs? Golf balls, socks, briefs, favorite candy, guitar picks, favorite beverage, refills for his razor.
Days 7, 8, 9, 10, 11: Higher numbers get a little trickier – just think 'small' and you can do it! Cookies, packaged and delivered to work. A CD with 11 songs. Post-it-note love notes hidden through the house.
Day 12: Think 'by the dozen' or '12 months in a year'. A magazine subscription, coupons for a monthly date night or a dozen chicken wings for lunch.
More ideas…
- A book or film with a number in the title
- A series of emails or texts sent to him throughout the day
- A gift certificate or coupons for his favorite meal
- A collection of poems (Haiku is a quick and easy!)
- One year I publicly praised my husband by posting 10 things I loved about him on my blog
Get Romantic!

Once you've collected your little gifts, wrap the items up and stash them away where he won't find them. I jot down which gift I'm giving him on which day in my day planner so I don't forget. I also like to plan when and how to present each gift — under his pillow, on his vehicle seat, in his work boots — so I have everything thought out in advance, and I can pull off our little tradition with ease despite the rush of those final days leading up to Christmas.
It takes just a little extra effort on my part to fit this in with everything else, but it is totally worth it for the sparkle it brings to our relationship at a time where it might otherwise suffer. It helps me keep my man my priority even when so many other things call. I look forward to Dec. 13th and eagerly anticipate to the look on his face when he realizes his favorite tradition has begun again.
