Right now, the best ebook readers are from the big guys - B&N and Amazon - in terms of both the hardware and the convenience of use. But what it someone else developed a killer feature, like multitouch? What then?
The Bookeen Orizon ebook reader, due this May for $US250, features a 6-inch, 800x600 display, along with Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, 1GB of storage, microSD and an accelerometer. It can read both ePub and PDF.
But its standout feature, the reason anyone is talking about it, is multitouch support on the display. Unfortunately, I can't come up with a single reason that'd be useful. On LCDs with instantaneous refresh rates, multitouch expands functionality exponentially, from button presses to real-time gestures. On electronic paper, you're faced with a noticeable, inherent delay every time you'd just like to flip a page.
Pinch to zoom becomes pinch... screen flashes black... screen flashes white... oops I zoomed too much, but maybe you could make a game out of it or something. [E-reader-info via Electronista]

Liberation Through Hearing in the Bardo:From the Six Wonderful Methods for Enlightenment Without Cultivation.Here I [Padmasambhava] shall explain the profound meaning of liberation through hearing
for the ones who have arrived at the time of death.
Among the three kinds of bardos, the first is the time of the bardo of dying.Fortunate one of noble family, listen one-pointedly. Pay heed. Do not wander.
Every experience in this world is Mara's dream-like illusion.
Everything is impermanent, everyone is subject to death.
Noble one, turn away from further painful states.The experiences of whiteness, redness and blackness are all the magical display of your mind.Read More
These experiences are nothing other than yourself.
Do not be afraid. Do not fear them.

ARE YOU WELL?THE STORY OF "ARE YOU WELL?" Linda Mary Montano, Saugerties NY, 2015
I preach art is life and life is art and a few years ago I actually practiced it. Here is how my attempt to eliminate the boundaries between the two imploded on me, exposing and exploring my theory . Notice how I didn't really pass the art/life test of seamless, pleasant, transparent union of the two. Here is the story: One afternoon I was standing on the front of the line at the Port of Authority, NYC, waiting to board the NY to Kingston Adirondack Trailways bus. Usually people are still in city mode and keep to themselves unless they have to go to the bathroom and then they might break silence and ask the person in front or back of them to watch their stuff. So when I heard a voice from way in back call out in a friendly and cute way, "Hello Linda, are you well?" I bolted, blanched, bleated and barfed a spontaneous spoken word intervention and answer from deep in my bowels and in not so good performance artist in action fashion, literally sounded, shouted and not so happily addressed the question with the following rude answer to the said female actress I hardly knew. It went like this: "Am I well? Am I well. What do you mean am I well. I have alzheimers (a fear); dementia (a fear); leaky gut (a fear); urinary incontinence (a fear)." And maybe I said more. I don't remember. And then I said, "Shelly, are you well?" I am forgetting what happened next because it was all so traumatic, the appearance of my performance artist persona off the stage, that is. And what is notable is that it was dementia-like of me to respond that way which totally complicates the entire scenario. Fabulous art/not so fabulous life.
Stuffing the event deep into my unanalyzed and therapeutically untreated back brain, it recently got triggered again. You see, Shelly was a few years ahead of herself using the are you well greeting because NOW, everybody is saying it or emailing their endings, "Be well. Or, hope you are well." I'm obviously not over the big, pulsing need to correct them when they say the "well" stuff but the worst part is that the performance artist is over it, but Linda the non performance artist is addressing the situation in a way that is completely embarrassing and out of order. The wreckage is much more personally damaging than my Port of authority slippage because NOW, I'm correcting friends, acquaintances and non-friends when the words are heard in my presence or written in emails. And it is not pretty. I don't know Linda the corrector as well as I do, Linda the performer and as an uncertified stop-wellness officer, I am becoming scary to myself and a persona non grata to those who might want to say Hi to me but are afraid that I might bark a correction. This is not good and it is taking me soon, I promise, to a therapist who I hope will help me trace the trigger to the source. Ooopps, trigger is a bad word too!! And by the way Shelly, if I ever see you again, I will say, " Remember that day at the Port of Authority? I'm SO sorry. I was wrong, wrong, wrong!"But meanwhile, (notice the word mean), I went to my Facebook community and email community and posed the question.
I am collecting 1-2 sentence responses that you FB me to my question, "Why r people saying "ARE U WELL when they greet each other?" And why do they end emails, "Be well. Hope you are well!!" Will include your responses in an essay. Thanks, Linda
Here are their answers:SUZANNE HELLMUTH: Well,well,well I had to find the entomology. The word comes from Latin vele to wish, & earlier proto-Indo-European that evolved to Germanic, old English, Welsh having double meanings of good/fair/kind/health & related meanings to that group AND drawing/springing forth as water from a spring… tears from the eyes.Would a spring or well of water be good as in a fulfillment of wish –thus a water source or a well –& that water-wish word came to also mean for good/fair/kind/healthy…? Or, having water…is well, is source of well-being– ? Etc.English have towns with Wells in their name for example, Turndote Wells, where there are natural springs. Wellington, etc.
But, really, what is wellness now?Margarat Nee I blame Garrison Keillor for "be well" because he closes his poetry segments on the radio with it. I've never been greeted with "are you well" but it seems like a very clunky substitute for the usual "how's it goin" "how ya doin'" etc.
(My complaint is that people shouldn't open with that unless they really want to know, otherwise dopes like me forget sometimes and answer the question)Mary Disney good ? I wonder if people are trying to shorten their correspondence and at the same time heighten their meaning with the CAPS. I think people are saying in the emails when they sign off is that they hope their friend is doing all they can to be well. I often end my emails with "Bee well" because I am a beekeeper.Abina Manning When I moved to the U.S. and people would ask me "Are you well?" I would answer them. Until I saw their eyes glaze over. smile emoticon.Margarat Nee When I was in Ireland it took me awhile to understand that when when folks behind a shop/cafe counter asked "are you ok?" they meant did I want to buy/order something from them.CAROL SACHAL I learned a long time ago, 50 years or more, NEVER to ask my Ukrainian Grandmother, Nanny, "How are you?" when I went to visit her each week, 3 times a week as required in my family. The reason: she would tell me: "This hoits, that hoits, oh my, the pain!" (hoits=hurts) If I didn't ask her, she wouldn't tell me and it was a much more uplifting visit, so I learned to not ask that question.Linda Mary Montano im learning alot keep them coming.Eileen Kane Here in Tucson, where lots of my neighbors are elderly, we don't ever ask that question!Victoria Singh In New Zealand people tend to say "howzit goin?" no equivalent to "be well" springs to mindMary Puddycat Collins My friends and I started closing our letters with the Latin "Vale" – be well – that we learned in high school.Tobe Carey Well…or when I ask my "older" friend how he is, he always answers, "Rotting away, thanks."Paul W McMahon Humans need water to survive, even more than food but not air. so if you are well, you are also well and water of life flow thru you. if you are not a well you may be getting swampy so dig deeper in order to be well again! it's meta 4 4 minstrel psychical. i never met a 4 i didn't like.Gene Loeb (Shinananda) I think when they ask " Are you well, " they are asking u to say to yourself, "Why, do I look like shit?"Lizbeth Rymland ( I cant find her response but I remember she said something like, forget it when it happens or maybe she was saying , it isn't worth the energy, getting upset about someone saying, "ARE YOU WELL?"
RICH BRANDES: Research reveals that travelers in Merry Olde England visiting pubs and taverns in unfamiliar villages might ask an establishment if they served a favorite dish known as Beef Wellington. The question "Are you serving any Beef Wellington?" was shortened to "Are You Beef Wellington?" and later to simply "Are You Well
As meat eating has become less popular the phrase "Are you well" has fallen out of favor.CONCLUSION: Thanks to all of the participants, I'm cooled down. I promise I will never correct WELL again when it is said or written because I have found the source of my trigger in Eileen Kane's response: "Here in Tucson, where lots of my neighbors are elderly, we don't ever ask that question!"Be,Linda
WIKIPEDIA ,…LINDA MARY MONTANOWIKIPEDIA: LINDA MARY MONTANOLinda Mary Montano has been performing her art-life since birth. Her mother's pregnancy never "showed" and when Linda was born her mother supposedly said, "Linda, you were a shock to everybody," or something like that. Montano has performed and shocked herself and others for many years and continues to this day in her upstate NY: SAUGERTIES ART/LIFE INSTITUTE & TRANSFIGUARATION HOSPITAL where she is learning: HOW TO LOVE.
Linda Mary Montano is an inspiring figure in contemporary feminist performance art and her work since the mid 1960s has been critical in the development of performance and video by, for, and about women. Attempting to dissolve the boundaries between art and life, Montano continues to actively explore her art/life through shared experience, role adoption, and intricate life altering ceremonies, some of which last for fourteen or more years. Her artwork is starkly autobiographical and often concerned with personal and spiritual transformation. Montano's influence is wide ranging – she has been featured at museums including The New Museum in New York, MOCA San Francisco, SITE Santa Fe and the ICA in London.
Montano's first major performance, Chicken Woman (1972) was based on her MFA sculpture show at the University of Wisconsin, Madison. There she exhibited nine live chickens in three 8-foot (2.4 m) by 16-foot-long (4.9 m) minimalist chicken wire cages on the roof of the art building. It was titled "The Chicken Show," 1969.
Linda had moved to San Francisco 1970 with her husband the photographer, Mitchell Payne, and it was there that she established herself with performances like "Handcuff" (1973 with Tom Marioni) where she was physically bound to Marioni, and "Three Day Blindfold" (1974), where she lived for three days blindfolded and had to find her way around via the help of others; attempting to prepare for life in the future when she might need assistance. The murder of Mitchell Payne, her ex-husband, led to further exploration of art as a healing modality ("Mitchells' Death", 1978) and she continued her art-theology dialogue by living in a Zen monastery for three years and also resided at Ananda Ashram in the 1980s where she studied with Dr. Ramamurti Mishra for over 30 years. His influence and appreciation of her vision encouraged both her art and life. Upon meeting Taiwanese performance artist Tehching Hsieh who was looking for someone to be tied to him as art, they performed a collaboration whereby the two artists were bound to each other by a length of rope 24 hours a day for a whole year (from July 4, 1983 to July 3, 1984). They never touched during this endurance and audio taped every word they said and each worked at seperate jobs while tied.From 1984 onwards Montano performed another ambitious project titled "Seven Years of Living Art", 1984-1991 in which she lived in her home in Kingston wearing strictly monochromatic clothing, spent a portion of every day in a coloured room, and listened to a designated tone, all of which corresponded to the energetic qualities of a specific chakra. She changed colour every year, and after the project was finished followed it up with "Another Seven Years of Living Art",1991-1998 in part to memorialize her mother, Mildred Montano, who died in 1988 of colon cancer. This time she focused on the 7 Chakras, as taught by her Guru Dr. Mishra, she wore the colour clothes but let go of the many other imposed penances/disciplines, allowing nature to lead her to healing instead of her forced ego. In 1998, Montano inaugurated "Another 21 Years of Living Art " 1998-2019, a self designed "school" which inspired those attending to choose their own unique way to bring art and healing to the 7 energy centers of the body. Participants were: Betsea Caygill, Michelle Bush, Barbara Carrellas, SC Durkin, Koosil-Ja Hwang, Vernita N'Cognita, Esther K. Smith, Krista Kelly Walsh, with satellite projects by Victoria Singh & Kurtis Champion, Steven Reigns, Elizabeth Stephens, Annie Sprinkle, EK Smith and Nells Fasty. Montano has always freelance taught performance art, and was on the tenure tract at the University of texas, Austin for 7 years. She came back to upstate NY , 1998, to care for Henry Montano, her father and also collaborated with him on video before his stroke, continuing to tape the 3 years of managing and caring for him at home until his death , 2005. Montano;s interest in self-healing via art has allowed her to share her information with others via "Art/Life Counseling", a technique she used for seven years at The New Museum where curator Marcia Tucker had built a private room and allowed Montano to counsel people once a month in the window installation which was painted the same color that Montano wore for that year. At that time (1984–1991) Montano used tarot, palm and psychic readings as tools of discovery as well as attentive listening so that she could respond to the questions of her clients and she intended to find the most creative way to respond to their problems and difficulties. (Currently Montano still does "Art/Life/Laugher Counseling" but without the assistance of tarot, palm and psychic readings because they are forbidden by her current practice of Catholicism).Read More
The influence of her father led Montano to return to Catholicism and ultimately to Church attendance, and since 2005 she has taken gathered prayer requests to more than ten Catholic pilgrimage sites throughout the world. Montano also meets with others in Catholic Churches for 3 hours silent retreats, re-seeing the concept of endurance from new Catholic-eyes. Since returning to Catholicism, Montano has made numerous videos exploring the faith, including Father Lebar: Catholic Priest and Exorcist; Saint Teresa Of Avila By Linda Mary Montano, and she currently performs AS Mother Teresa of Calcutta, and endures, sometimes for 7 hours at a time suspended on a scissors lift, lipsynching as Bob Dylan and Paul McMahon, an upstate musician/songwriter. Since 1975, Montano has used video as a practice and for the last 20 years, her videos have been edited and animated by Tobe Carey of Willow Mixed Media. After Occupy Wall Street when Montano saw a sign that said, COMPASSION IS THE NEW CURRENCY, Montano has offered her videos for free viewing on You Tube, except for "Dad Art" a video-performance document of her father's last 7 years which is designed to be performed with Montano and 7 collaborators.
Her work investigates the relationship between art and life through intricate, life-altering ceremonies, some of which last for seven or more years. She is interested in the way artistic ritual, often staged as individual interactions or collaborative workshops, can be used to alter and enhance a person's life and to create the opportunity for focus on spiritual energy states, silence and the cessation of art/life boundaries.
Montano's archive is now at Fales Library and Special Collections at NYU since 2013.
Videos produced with Tobe Carey's editing and animation, can be seen online here, and more information is on her blog,lLinda Mary Montano Blogspot, as well as her website, WWW.LINDAMONTANO.COM
Her seven published books can be located via her website.

THE SAGA OF MY NOSETHE SAGA OF MY NOSE AS OF 2016 LINDA MARY MONTANO1. CHILDHOOD The theme and focus of my childhood dreams was always MY NOSE! Nightly the nightmare was that a long, gooey, squidish and unending disgusting mass would unroll from and be able to be slow motion pulled from both nostrils. I was amazed, intrigued and the vision/dream continued for a long time. The only reference I was able to make was to the cultural history of Egyptian funerary rites which indicated that the mortuary people drained the brains from the nose of the dead before mummifying them. Did I dream this? Is it true? I must google the answer some fine day. Eventually the dream stopped.2. YOUNG ADULT During high school I was the outsider, having come from a small, Catholic grade school to a not that large high school in our village. Neurotic that I already was, it took this disrupt to activate my anxiety button and I expressed my upset by imagining and insisting that " I SMELLED!" The collection of and more than once daily use of cancer producing aluminum-infused underarm deodorants never allayed the supposed dispiriting attacks on my happiness so I conscripted a posse of friends to walk close to me and "smell" me and I would ask, " Do I stink?" They would always say, " You don't stink, Linda." Not appeased for long, I would ask again as we walked down the hall to our next class. That ended and I forget how my fear shifted to my next phobia. I don't remember asking people that question when I went to college but there was a smell issue in the convent when I "found" some wet/smelly papers in the "nun-clothes" locker in my cell. Oooopss. Too much info.3. ARTIST LIFE My teacher from India, Dr. Ramamurti Mishra, also later known as Shri Brahmananda Saraswati, was a phenomenal genius, radical doctor, McGill trained neurosurgeon, teacher, mystic and friend to all. His knowledge of Ayruveda was included in his tool bag of Cures That Shift Consciousness, and he brought this particular nose technique out as needed. It was called, NASAL NETI. Did he demonstrate the insertion of a snake-like male cathedra into his own nasal cavities so that it could clear the passages and eventually slither out of his mouth? I don't think so. Maybe he had one of us demo it, I don't remember. But I do know that I loved it, having spent my childhood focused inside my nose already in dreams and as was my wont, I began including Nasal Neti in my performances as a device that invited audiences to join me in viewing the ART OF SHOCK, a practice I always prefer, which allows the artist and viewer to move from everyday daily worry-hurry mind to the mind of NOW. Case in point, who can think about the insult the neighbor just hurled your way when there is a slimey male cathedra coming out of your nose or the nose of a performance artist trained to offend-as-art? So for years, I used Nasal Neti live, in performance, and in videos even as we speak, thanks to the 20 year collaboration with Tobe Carey video artist/editor who has helped me edit Nasal Neti into my current video: Endurance Then and Now.4. CURRENT LIFEIST NOSE EVENTS As a child, my parents had left a medievalish, Nicola Tesla-looking "tanning" sunlamp someplace in the house. Of course I found it and burned myself/face to blisters many, many times and in fact, had almost permanently fused plastic buttons to my closed eyes because I had used button as "goggles," placing them over my closed eyes so the lamp's BIG C causing light would not burn my eyelids.( Eyes are the subject of another body modification post most probably forthcoming. A post just as problematic in detail.) Back to my nose. My nose: i've always loved it….. it's aquilineness; it's long, straight, haughtiness; it's almost Italian-ness. It is a nice friend of my face but as I age, it rears it's head, just as it did in childhood when my brains spilled out of it in dream-sleep. A year ago, I presented a bump-scab-raised on my nose something to the over 90 year old skin doctor who treated Nagasaki-Hiroshima WW11 survivors of after-bomb skin injuries and she put a liquid on my nose. For weeks, I walked around as if my nose literally survived Nagasaki because it festered, blew up, spit out gangerous green from both now bulbous external sides. I was a walking leper for awhile and went everywhere like that… a class fool, a pariah, a freak. This time, I wasn't USING my nose for Art, but my nose was life-performing without my permission and without my wanting to videotape the mess, a practice I always do; for to self-document is to cure, is my creed. This time I was not interested in sending my situation to you tube as a way that I cleverly fix my life via art via Tobe's collaboration. So it cured, it burned out the toxicities, it ate up the BIG C, the Esteemed and Saintly Dr-Healer said. And then more nose events began.A. Somewhere I heard that it is good to put Gas Treatment in your gas tank occasionally. Silly me, I never checked this out with my smart, smart siblings who know everything about everything, so I bought a container of it in Dollar General and left it in the car until I was ready to put it in my now-I like-you car and you can guess the rest. It opened in the car, just a little, BUT the fumes were over the top, fusing themselves into my long, aquiline 74 year old nose. I felt them immediately and now that I am compromised with a neurological chronic affliction called Dystonia, my nervous system said, " OYE WHATTTTTT DID YOU JUST DO TO ME? IM GOING TO TWIST YOUR NECK AND YOUR BRAIN AND YOUR HEAD IN RETRIBUTION." So the new medical chess game began…I slapped a Lidocane patch on my neck, called Poison Control whose female voice of reason said, "Don't worry, there is no poison in Gas Treatment," and not believing her, I went to my Irish PA who looked up my nose and said to use a gel to coat inside my nasal passage. I sniffed Cocoanut Oil into it instead. And although I was doing SO WELL with controlling neck spasms before this event, they re-appeared with a vengeance and as a result I have to drive my throbbing neck over across the river to get it injected with Botox so that I can fathom sitting on an overnight flight to Ireland in a month. There goes my let's get off the rat poison Botox injections and let's use alternative meds plan! I'm afraid to tell my siblings this story.B. I wake throughout the night and Ayruveda says that remembering what time you wake, is an easy way to see if one of the organs of the body is asking for attention. That is , 3 am is the liver "calling." Whatever!!! Two mornings ago, at an hour that I will have to see if I can remember which organ was calling me, I smelled SKUNK. It wafted up the side of the house and into my bedroom window. When I told David and Jeanne this story, she said that skunks are kind and don't just squirt but warn first and I do recall a kind of scratching sound outside which I interpreted as someone trying to break into the house but no, it was not that, it was the skunk warning the dog next door to pull back, retreat and get out to the way. But no such luck because this beautiful, humongous, furry, gorgeous, smoky black, loving and perfectly behaved canine with 14 inch long fur got squirted. But so did the neighborhood or at least the inside of this house where I am sitting and smelling skunk smell as we speak. I'm a wreck. My nose is on overdrive. I've saged and squirted Holy Water in every room. And when I told a really close and dear and totally funny friend about this drama, he said, " Maybe you stink , Linda," and that's the closest that this issue will come to a deeper analysis of the dramas which are inviting me to want to find out why I am up my nose so much? Too embarrassed to re-call the Poison Control because I might get the same woman, I went to The Church of Google, typed in skunk words, totem animal words, what does skunk smell indicate words and this is what I got:"Who hasn't run up against a lesson from this amazing creature-teacher at one time or another? The smell of Skunk Medicine is something that one doesn't soon forget. Skunk Medicine brings the lessons of Reputation , Respect, Sensitivity, and Confidence.Skunk says, "If your ego is not your amigo, you know it stinks!" When one learns to assert, without ego, what and who you are. Respect follows. Your self-respectful attitude will repel those who are not of like mind, and yet will attract those who choose the same pathway. As the odor of Skunk attracts others of its kind, it repels those who will not respect its space."5. CONCLUSION Deep breath in, deep breath out. It is all medicine.LINDA MARY MONTANO , SAUGERTIES NY 2016.

Sometimes I adjust the speed of my ride in order to better mesh with traffic. It's purely voluntary, but in a lot of situations, I find that I'm more comfortable riding faster than I would otherwise prefer to and I'm willing to pedal a little harder in order to gain the advantage of mixing in with cars a little better. Like I said, it's voluntary (and given my level of fitness, I can keep it up for about 13 seconds), but sometimes it feels "safer."
Legs felt good so I took the long way. Counted 110 bicyclists on the CCT with 7 going in my direction and 103 going the other way. This isn't the highest count I've ever had, but it's still pretty substantial. Does anyone know if there's a more formal/scientific process by which the NPS
Legs felt good enough going up Macomb and Glennbrook and Loughboro and that was a welcome surprise. I guess it's only Tuesday and I didn't ride this weekend, but I'm always pleased when a ride turns out to be less strenuous than I expect.
Is there any conceivable reason for me to get a trunk bag? Probably not, right?
Sorry to anyone on the trail that I passed too closely. I hate getting cut off and I regret that I did it a couple of times. I guess you could either blame me or the person riding in the other direction, but realistically, it's more fair to blame me since I'm the one who actually did it. Or we can all settle on blaming drivers for some reason. Boo drivers! (Note: this is

In related news, Jerry Only's long-awaited MISFITS side project showcasing punk covers of 1950s-era classics, dubbed PROJECT 1950, has finished recording its debut album, due later in the year.
Featuring the all-star core lineup of Jerry, Marky and Dez, PROJECT 1950 includes a special guest vocal appearance by '60s icon Ronnie Spector on two tracks and keyboards by Jimmy Destri (of BLONDIE) on two tracks. The release is "truly unique and not to be perceived as a traditional MISFITS album but rather a special project," reads an official press release. Only states: "The backbone of punk has always been the 3-chord progression which was ultimately inspired by classic rock and roll of the 1950's. I've always wanted to record some of the music that inspired the MISFITS to show fiends where it all began. With this album...I will."
A special MP3 sneak preview clip of the DEL SHANNON classic "Runaway" from the upcoming "Project 1950" CD can be downloaded from this location.

Lawyer made videotapes of 14-year-old daughter's sexual encounter with man in motel
By Lynne Tuohy
Associated Press
CONCORD, N.H. (AP) — The allegations were almost too heinous and far-fetched to be believed. A New Hampshire lawyer who graduated at the top of her class and credited her success to Christianity was accused of using her 14-year-old daughter as a sexual pawn, at one point even engaging in a sexual act with the girl on camera.
But believe them a jury did, convicting the woman Thursday of eight counts of exploiting the teenager, who is now in foster care. Her attorney called no witnesses during barely a day of testimony, only imploring jurors in his closing arguments to put aside their emotions as they deliberated.
In a recorded phone conversation with her daughter from jail in December, the woman told her, "I should have been the mom, not the friend."
She was neither, according to a U.S. attorney and testimony at the brief trial in U.S. District Court in Concord, which included two men recounting sexual encounters with the mother and daughter.
A Canadian named Kevin Watson testified that he met the girl online in 2012, that they had sexually explicit Skype sessions, and that he spent Memorial Day weekend last year with mother and daughter in a motel room in Niagara Falls, Ontario, about three weeks after the girl's 14th birthday.
The woman told him it was her daughter's first time having intercourse, and she videotaped that and other sexual encounters during the weekend, Watson said. It isn't clear whether Watson knew the girl's age at the time.
Brandon Ore, of Lebanon, N.H., testified he met the two after responding to a personals ad placed by "two girls, 18 and 33, looking to party." He moved in with them in July 2012 and said it was weeks later that he learned they were mother and daughter, and that the girl was 14.
He moved out two months later and turned himself in to police, triggering the lawyer's arrest.
"The partying was out of control, the sex was out of control and she was charging high rent," Ore said.
The men testified they often had sex with the mother with her daughter present.
The Associated Press generally doesn't identify victims of sexual assault without their consent; it is not naming the mother to avoid identifying the girl.
A friend testified Wednesday for the prosecution that the lawyer is a devout Christian, someone she befriended a dozen years ago when the two met regularly in a home Bible studies group.
The defendant put herself through college after nearly a decade of convictions for driving under the influence of alcohol and driving while her license was suspended, according to records published in the New Hampshire Union Leader in the 1990s and early 2000s.
She was valedictorian of her college's graduate and professional studies program in 2005. In her address, she credited Christianity with saving her from a life of drugs, alcohol and abusive marriages, the Union Leader reported then.
"When I became pregnant with my daughter, I now had the responsibility for a second life," she said in her speech.
The lawyer was a member of, and had advocated for, a Christian legal group that fights against same-sex marriage and for other conservative causes.
Testimony at the trial was graphic and wrenching.
As jurors watched recordings of various sexual encounters, the defendant averted her eyes from the laptop screen in front of her and dropped her head into one hand.
The final video, prosecutors said, depicted the woman having oral sex with her daughter.
Before introducing it into evidence, prosecutors had the girl's father — the defendant's ex-husband — identify the voices captured on tape. He wept uncontrollably after identifying the voices as his daughter's and his ex-wife's, and he left the courtroom before the tape was played for the jury.
As the tape played, its audio track filling the courtroom, the defendant clapped her hands over her ears and wept. The judge ordered the video stopped partway through.
"This goes on for quite a while," the judge said. He had prosecutors skip to the end.
In other recorded, expletive-laden phone calls to her parents in December, the defendant called her daughter a liar and blamed her for her predicament.
"This is not her daughter's fault. Tell her by your verdicts she should have been a mother," U.S. Attorney John Kacavas said in closing.
"The defendant was her pot pusher, her pornography producer and her predator," he said.
Defense Attorney James Moir had an uphill battle defending his client against the layers of graphic videos the defendant was alleged to have planned and produced. He said she didn't force or prompt her daughter to engage in the sex acts but called no witnesses.
"You can hate her. You can be morally outraged by what she did," Moir told jurors in his closing argument. "You can have these emotions, but you have to put them aside when you deliberate."
The jury signaled in less than an hour that it had reached a decision.
The daughter sat in the courtroom, apparently unnoticed by her mother, as the verdicts were read Thursday. Neither mother nor daughter showed a visible reaction.
"The evidence was pretty overwhelming," said juror Peter Evans, of Manchester. "She's going to deserve whatever she gets."
The mother has been behind bars since her arrest in November and faces at least 25 years in prison when sentenced in April.

The Giants won, and that is amazing. I would never be able to express how much that means to me and my City. We need to also put into perspective what is happening in Sports and relate it to our own business models.
The Yankees have bought the best team imaginable, yet they didn't win. The Texas Rangers had the best offense in the league but they didn't win. Texas is more humble than NY so we like them a whole lot better. It reminds me of a night in Vegas when one of our convention attendees just announced "Just follow the New Yorker…" like the rest of us from all across the world were just schmucks. Arrogance, even when substantiated, is not attractive. After the "New Yorker" was slicing logs dreaming of Steinbrenner's underwire, my now wife took a couple of our friends to the bar under the waterfall of the Bellagio. We were blessed to attend their wedding in India a little over a year ago. Flash has its limitations. Steinbrenner is dead and Jeeter is as old as my mother. Confidence is good, arrogance is not. In the new "Social" technology it's all about the no crap offering of an added value and a no-bullshit way of offering it. The New York Yankees are great, but old, both literally and figuratively. People that work that way will be old very soon – if not literally, then certainly figuratively. The Giants are the new "America's team" from sea to shining sea. My brothers all over the country embrace them. It's not because they were the best team, although at the end they were certainly gaining traction and probably could have won 8 out of 10 more playoff games. The love affair for these guys is that they pulled together as a team. Barry Zito was a quintessential example. His end of year was disappointing, but if any of his 9 wins were omitted they wouldn't have been at City Hall yesterday. Left off the playoff roster, he still joined the team and pitched batting practice throughout the series, without grumbling. His Zen wouldn't let his ego acknowledge that he is still the highest paid pitcher on the staff. Let us all, in business, learn from what a few "misfits "can do working together, with humility, for a common goal.

Judge Gives Stadium Win to UC
The first round of the legal battle over the Memorial Stadium ended late Tuesday, and lawyers for the losing side are preparing their appeal.
Michael Lozeau, attorney for the Panoramic Hill Association, said he was working on the documents to file with the state Court of Appeal.
The decision by Alameda County Superior Court Judge Barbara J. Miller followed a brief hearing in her Hayward courtroom Monday morning.
Lozeau and Stephan Volker, attorney for the California Oak Foundation, were opposed by Charles Olson, the San Francisco attorney who led the university's defense in the lengthy and complex hearings in Miller's Hayward courtroom.
Also present was Harriet Steiner, the outside counsel hired by the City of Berkeley to represent the city's interests in the case. The City Council declined to vote to appeal Judge Miller's first version of her ruling late last month.
"Judge Miller gave us five minutes," said Volker after Monday's hearing. "We said that we wanted the university to confirm that if wefiled an appeal in two days they would maintain the status quo until the appellate court ruled on our writ of supersedeas."
Volker said the university gave its assurances, though the judge had declined to state whether she would enforce their promise with the power of the court.
The writ the plaintiffs want would halt enforcement of Miller's ruling while the appellate court was mulling the merits of their challenge to the lower court's decision.
They have until Thursday to file the appeal, and even then there is some question whether or not a 20-day ban on new construction activity—including tree-clearing—would be automatically granted, given that Miller's ruling Tuesday dissolved her earlier injunction against new construction.
During Monday's hearing, the university agreed to a two-day delay to give the losing side time to appeal, and university spokesperson Dan Mogulof Tuesday confirmed the university's intention to honor the delay.
The lawsuit, filed in December 2006, challenged the regents' approval of the Student Athlete High Performance Center, a four-level high-tech gym and office complex planned immediately to the west of the landmark stadium.
On a broader level, the plaintiffs challenged the environmental impact report for a group of projects the university has dubbed the Southeast Campus Integrated Projects.
Plaintiffs, who also included a group of Berkeley residents, charged that the project violated the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the Alquist-Priolo Act, which governs building within 50 feet of active earthquake faults.
Judge Miller found that some aspects of the university's original plans violated the seismic law, but withdrew her objections after the university scuttled the parts of the plans she had cited.
While she also upheld the city's challenge, which had charged the university wrongly certified that it couldn't detail the impacts of seven new annual events planned for the stadium, she allowed the project to move forward after the university removed the events from their plans.
An earlier filing with the state Court of Appeal was rejected after judges there declared that Miller had issued her first ruling before she had finished with the case, making an appeal premature. Then the plaintiffs withdrew their motion for a new trial, clearing the way for Monday's hearing.
Miller promised at the end of that hearing to rule promptly on the case.
The university's plans for the gym require the leveling of most of the trees in the grove now located at the site—inspiring the ongoing tree-sit that has kept campus police busy at a time when crimes of violence at Cal have been soaring.
While Miller's decision would pave the way for construction of the gym, it raises serious questions about just how much work the university can do on the stadium itself.
The judge sided with the plaintiffs on one of their key contentions, that the university could spend no more on the extensive renovations it plans than half of the stadium's current market value. The university's lawyers argued that replacement value should be used.
The aging stadium sits directly over the Hayward Fault, which federal scientists say is the most likely site of the Bay Area's next major earthquake. All sides agree the stadium is in poor shape and in need of a seismic retrofit if it is to become comparatively safe in a major temblor.
The university's planned renovations to the stadium include a complete interior retrofit, the addition of a new press box topped by luxury sky boxes for big ticket donors along the western wall, and a new bank of raised seating on the eastern side, as well as replacement of all the existing seating throughout the stadium.
The university plans to overlap work on the western half of the stadium with construction of the gym complex.
The long legal battle thwarted one of the university's hopes, a landscape cleared of tree-sitters by the time of the first home game of the Cal Bears.
With the protesters still aloft and little likelihood of their disappearance before the Bears tackle the Michigan State Spartans Saturday, Athletic Director Sandy Barbour, campus Police Chief Victoria Harrison and Vice Chancellor Nathan Brostrom have posted an open letter to attendees on the campus website.The letter promises that "we will have a robust police presence around the stadium to deter and to respond to any unlawful behavior."
Because of the elimination of access through the grove, the university has added eight new gates and 91 entry and exit points, with a concentration both above International House and at the north end of the stadium near Maxwell Family Field.
Kickoff is slated for 5 p.m.
At the tree-sit itself, the week has passed in relative calm, following in the wake of the university's aggressive moves last Thursday.
During the morning, contract arborists moved to isolate the protesters by slicing off all the lower branches of their last remaining sit in a redwood in the northern part of the grove. The crew, working for a Watsonville firm, also sliced off strategic branches from two nearby oaks, further isolating the tree-sitters.
Later in the day the arborists were back, stripping away the weatherproof tarps used to shield the tree-sitters' supplies and removing some of their belongings—a move a university spokesperson said was aimed at making sure the protesters had no weapons.

Israel: Conflict over recognition, not territory
May 01, 2013, 2:28 PM EDT
Getty Images
JERUSALEM (AP) — Israel's prime minister gave a cool reception Wednesday to a new Arab Mideast peace initiative, saying the conflict with the Palestinians isn't about territory, but rather the Palestinians' refusal to recognize Israel as the Jewish homeland.
The remarks signaled trouble for U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry's new push for Mideast peace and risked reinforcing Benjamin Netanyahu's image as a hard-liner unwilling to make the tough concessions required for peace.
Netanyahu has not commented directly on the Arab League's latest initiative, but his words questioned its central tenet — the exchange of captured land for peace — and appeared to counter a modified peace proposal from the Arab world that Washington and Netanyahu's own chief negotiator have welcomed.
The original 2002 Arab initiative offered a comprehensive peace between Israel and the Muslim world in exchange for a withdrawal from all territories Israel captured in the 1967 Mideast war. Sweetening the offer this week, the Arab sponsor said final borders could be drawn through mutually agreed land swaps.
Netanyahu questioned the premise that borders are the key.
"The root of the conflict isn't territorial. It began way before 1967," he told Israeli diplomats. "The Palestinians' failure to accept the state of Israel as the nation-state of the Jewish people is the root of the conflict. If we reach a peace agreement, I want to know that the conflict won't continue — that the Palestinians won't come later with more demands."
The Palestinians have rejected Netanyahu's demand to recognize Israel as a Jewish state, saying that would undermine the rights of Israel's Arab minority as well as millions of refugees whose families lost properties during the war surrounding Israel's establishment in 1948. The fate of the refugees is a core issue that would need to be resolved in a final peace deal.
After meeting U.S. congressmen Wednesday, Netanyahu said he appreciated the efforts of President Barack Obama and Kerry to restart negotiations but said that for talks to succeed, the Palestinians must also guarantee solid security arrangements. "We're prepared to discuss many things, but I will never compromise on Israel's security," he said.
Qatari Prime Minister Sheik Hamad Bin Jassem Al Thani tried to allay some of the Israeli concerns as he presented the offer on Monday.
Speaking on behalf of an Arab League delegation, he reiterated the need to base an agreement between Israel and a future Palestine on the 1967 lines, but for the first time, he cited the possibility of "comparable," mutually agreed and "minor" land swaps between the Israelis and the Palestinians.
The sides were reportedly close to an agreement based on these guidelines during the last serious round of talks in 2008 but the talks failed. Swaps of territory were also a basis for a failed summit in the U.S. in 2000.
Negotiations have largely been frozen since 2008, and the new U.S. administration has been trying to get the peace talks back on track.
As part of his effort, Kerry has been pushing Arab leaders to embrace a modified version of the Arab peace plan. The changes are meant to win Israeli support by allowing it to keep parts of the West Bank and east Jerusalem as part of an agreement.
Though Netanyahu's office has remained silent on the modified Arab proposal, his chief peace negotiator, Justice Minister Tzipi Livni, has welcomed it, as have Israel's president and the main opposition parties. However, Netanyahu's own political base and one of his main government coalition partners are either opposed to giving up land or suspicious of the Arabs' motivations.
Former Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, a rival of Netanyahu, said the initiative disproves the belief held by many in Israel that "there is no one to speak to."
"We cannot, under any circumstances, again be the ones that express doubts about a process that can lead to negotiations," Olmert told Israel's Channel 10 TV, urging Netanyahu to capitalize on "a historic opportunity."
Opposition Israeli lawmakers also urged Netanyahu to embrace the new Arab outreach.
"It was bad enough that we ignored it once. Ignoring it now ... after everything that is happening in the Arab world, I think it would be a very, very big mistake," said Merav Michaeli, a lawmaker from the centrist Labor Party. She said if Netanyahu does not respond, it would show that he does not want a peace accord.
Kerry called the new peace plan a "very big step forward," though Palestinian officials have been cool to the concept, insisting that negotiations still need start with the 1967 lines.
The original 2002 Arab peace initiative offered Israel peace with the entire Muslim world in exchange for a "complete withdrawal" from territories captured in the 1967 Mideast war. The Palestinians claim the West Bank, east Jerusalem and the Gaza Strip, all seized by Israel in 1967, for their future state. Israel withdrew from Gaza in 2005.
Though the latest proposal appears aimed at the Palestinians, the original formula refers to other territories as well. Israel also captured the Sinai from Egypt and Golan Heights from Syria in the 1967 war, withdrawing from Sinai in 1982. Peace talks between Israel and Syria over the fate of the Golan failed more than a decade ago.

Cleveland researchers use experimental nerve 'bridge' to restore breathing in rats with spinal cord injuries (video)
Published: Wednesday, July 13, 2011, 1:00 PM Updated: Wednesday, July 13, 2011, 3:29 PM
By John Mangels, The Plain Dealer The Plain Dealer
CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Using tools familiar to any gardener -- a chemical fertilizer and a sort of high-tech trellis -- Cleveland researchers have coaxed skittish nerve fibers to bridge a gap in rats' damaged spinal cords and forge new connections.
The repairs, though experimental, revived the rats' partially paralyzed diaphragm muscles, restoring normal or near-normal breathing in nine of 11 test animals, the Case Western Reserve University scientists report Thursday in the journal Nature.
"It's pretty amazing," said CWRU neuroscientist Jerry Silver, who led the research project and described it as the culmination of 30 years of effort. "Our work is one of the most convincing demonstrations [to date] of the return of robust function" after paralysis.
The CWRU approach blends two nerve-regrowth methods, leveraging the power of each.
"The experiments are significant in demonstrating that this combination of two repair strategies can work together to enhance recovery in the complex circuitry that controls breathing," spinal cord injury researcher James Fawcett, who heads Britain's Cambridge Centre for Brain Repair at the University of Cambridge, said via email. "This paper from the Silver laboratory shows that a combination treatment can be very successful." Fawcett was not involved in the CWRU project.
Researchers have tried many techniques over the years to overcome the devastation of spinal cord injuries, which affect 12,000 Americans annually. Progress has been slow, a testament to the human nervous system's complexity.
Much of that experimental work has focused on re-establishing the ability to walk, a goal that remains unmet. Silver's lab has concentrated instead on the challenges of regaining breathing and bladder control. "Our goal was to target one critical muscle that [paralyzed] people would like back," he said.
Those two bodily functions are far less complicated than walking in terms of making neurological fixes. The shortest stroll requires a suite of highly coordinated limb and trunk movements involving dozens of muscles; by contrast, breathing and urination basically involve flexing only the diaphragm or the sphincter. Restoring them could boost paralyzed patients' long-term survival and dramatically improve their day-to-day lives.

Bill Cosby is returning to sitcoms.
E! News has confirmed Cosby has signed to star in a new NBC sitcom as a patriarch in a multigenerational family. The network has not ordered a pilot yet and no writer is currently attached. No word on the sweater situation...yet.
Deadline first reported on Cosby's TV comeback
U.S. & World
Stories that affect your life across the U.S. and around the world.
Cosby partnered with veteran producer Tom Werner for the new NBC project, Deadline reports. Werner and Marcy Carsey were producers on NBC's The Cosby Show and CBS's Cosby.
READ: Bill Cosby Talks Black Culture, "No-Groes" Racial Stereotypes
No stranger to the TV viewer, Cosby previously starred in The Cosby Show for eight seasons on NBC from 1984-1992. Following, Cosby starred in CBS's Cosby from 1996-2000. Both shows co-starred Phylicia Rashd, who was recently seen in NBC's short-lived Do No Harm.
Cosby recently had a standup special, Far From Finished, on Comedy Central. Promoting the special, he told Yahoo he was interested in returning to TV fulltime.
"I want to be able to deliver a wonderful show to [a] network," Cosby told Yahoo. "Because there is a viewership out there that wants to see comedy, and warmth, and love, and surprise, and cleverness, without going into the party attitude."
NEWS: Peter Pan live musical coming to NBC!
Cosby added he thinks viewers would like to see a married couple who "acts like they love each other, warts and all," and children who respect their parents. "[T]he comedy of people who make mistakes," he said. "Warmth and forgiveness."
Cosby's star-powered sitcom is just the latest for NBC. During NBC's recent 2014 TCA presentation, a reporter asked NBC's Robert Greenblatt if he is more cautious about betting on star power in the network's comedies based on the lackluster ratings for new comedies The Michael J. Fox Show with Michael J. Fox and Sean Saves the World with Sean Hayes. "It's hard to launch comedy even in the best of circumstances, so I guess I would say I'm more weary," Greenblatt said. "It just means we have to work harder. Comedy is hard."
(E! and NBC are both part of the NBC Universal family)

jawsdk necessitava di un nuovo design di logo e ha lanciato un contest su 99designs.
È stato scelto un vincitore tra 100 design presentati da 54 designer.
I need logo for the word "WebProof". The word itself needs to be the logo. It will be used on physical print as well as web. This means invoices, letterheads, business cards, website, GUI in our software, magazine articles etc.
Desired Style:
- The word WebProof should be the logo.
- Remember to make a logo that still looks nice when printing on grayscale printer and whan faxing on black/white fax.
- Need a logo with a subtitle and one without. The subtitle is "anytime, anywhere...".
Accepted File Formats:
The word "WebProof" is what we wan't our customers to remember. WebProof is also the name of our advanced software product. The product is a web based proofing system for graphical businesses. This means it's a centralized place to put all information regarding a proofing process between different people, when creating graphical material (magazines, ads, websites, images, 3D models etc.). It's like a database and versioning control system - dedicated for graphical proofing. You can also get inspiration from the word "flow" because information flows in our software and gives shorter production time for eg. a magazine.
This is a total price of US$ 400. I need the same design for stationary and logo. So I will only award a design that includes both stationary and logo design together - so they match.
I hope this gives you some ideas on how to design the logo. I look forward seeing the result.
This contest was originally listed in multiple categories:
- Logo Design
- Stationery Design

Skyrim's Dawnguard beta invites are out, and now you can live out your wildest Tom Cruise Interview With a Vampire fantasy in the world of Tamriel (sans Brad Pitt of course). According to this great, cautious preview from our own Allistair Pinsof, the full version will net you around 15-20 hours of extra content, much like Oblivion's Shivering Isles (not bad!).
I really like the idea of a Bethesda beta test -- maybe if they keep up with this tradition, we'll have less signature "Bethesda glitches" to complain about. Plus, a Fallout 4 beta would be real nice (are you listening, guys?).
Be sure and let us know if you got one, and what your experiences are so far. Fangs for everything, Bethesda! Yuck yuck yuck.

Mammals, once tiny creatures scampering on the forest floor, grew larger as the amount of oxygen in the air increased over millions of years, a new study says.
WASHINGTON Mammals, once tiny creatures scampering on the forest floor, grew larger as the amount of oxygen in the air increased over millions of years, a new study says.
Today mammals, ranging from dogs and cats to elephants, dolphins and people, dominate the planet.
It's a success story Paul G. Falkowski of Rutgers University and colleagues say was helped by the more than doubling of oxygen in the air over the last 205 million years. Their findings are published in Friday's issue of the journal Science.
The researchers measured samples of material deposited on the seafloor going back millions of years. By measuring the amount of carbon-13 in the samples they were able to estimate the amount of oxygen in the atmosphere at a particular time.
They found that the air contained only about 10 percent oxygen at the time of the dinosaurs.
By 50 million years ago the oxygen level had risen to 17 percent and it was 23 percent 40 million years ago, they reported. Currently the air contains about 21 percent oxygen.
The rise of oxygen "almost certainly contributed to evolution of large animals," the researchers reported. The oxygen needs of mammals and birds are three to six times as high as reptiles.
The impact of an asteroid or meteorite about 65 million years ago is thought to have contributed to the demise of the dinosaurs. Their elimination also created an opportunity for the rise of mammals.
There was an increase in small and medium-sized mammals in the first few million years after the end of the dinosaurs, the researchers reported. A second surge, from medium to large sizes, was seen between 50 million and 40 million years ago, they reported.
The research was funded by the National Science Foundation.

The Toronto PET User's Group (TPUG) has placed a number of 2009 and 2011 World of Commodore (WoC) presentations online at http://www.youtube.com/TorontoPETUsersGroup. Yours truly is in some of the 2011 ones, discussing EasyFlash 3 and ZoomFloppy. I guess, now that presentations will be online forever, I'll have to do a better job or presenting and ensuring all information is accurate (I think there's a few inaccuracies in my WoC presentations).

Disneyland's Main Street Station population sign displays the actual number of unique individuals who have passed through the park's gates (using a paid admission or complimentary pass but excluding guests of cast members and including babies who entered free of charge with their parent(s) or legal guardian(s)) during either regular business hours or during non-private after-hours events, rounded to the nearest half a million. This statistic, painstakingly maintained by the park's official statistician since opening day, has proven so popular that it was copied by record companies ("## million Elvis fans can't be wrong), McDonalds ("## billion served"), and various delis ("Now serving number ##").
The elevation figure listed on the sign is the elevation of the sign itself, not of the park.

The First & The Finest
Nestled in a spectacular setting next to the Charles River and with the Boston skyline on the horizon, Harvard Stadium ranks among the nation's finest college football facilities.
Built in 1903, it is also the nation's oldest stadium. Harvard Stadium is a horseshoe containing architectural elements of a Greek stadium and Roman circus and is considered an engineering marvel, as it was the world's first massive reinforced concrete structure and the first large permanent arena for American college athletics. With a seating capacity of 30,323, Harvard Stadium is praised for its outstanding sightlines for fans.
Harvard Stadium once accommodated as many as 57,166 spectators when steel stands were built in the north end zone. Those stands were removed in 1951.
National Recognition
Harvard Stadium is recognized as a National Historic Landmark and is one of just three athletic arenas to be so designated. The Yale Bowl (built in 1914) and the Rose Bowl (built in 1922) are the other two.
A Gift From The Class of 1879
The Stadium was a 25th anniversary gift of the Class of 1879. However, before it became a reality, people had to be convinced of its feasibility and necessity.
Some believed that concrete couldn't survive a New England winter, and others had a notion that football was a passing whim. The Stadium was constructed in four-and-a-half months at the cost of just $310,000.
Prior to the Stadium's opening, Harvard played its home football game at a number of sites. Jarvis Field, where the Littauer Center (home for the government and economic departments) now stands, was the setting for the Crimson's inaugural contest against McGill in 1874, and its first intercollegiate game against Tufts in 1875. After several seasons of playing home games at the South End Grounds, Harvard returned to Cambridge in 1881 and played at Holmes Field, now the site of Langdell Hall. Football, and most of the school's outdoor teams, moved to Soldiers Field in 1894.
It Changed The Game
The close proximity of the stands to the field at the Stadium led to one of the most successful innovations in football history. In 1906, debate raged about the sport's roughness and several colleges had dropped football in favor of rugby. When the football rules committee met to discuss changes, Walter Camp proposed widening the field by 40 feet. However, that idea could not be implemented without considerable alterations to the Stadium. Ultimately, the committee adopted the forward pass.
More Than Harvard Lacrosse
In its 103 years, Harvard Stadium has been the site of more than 600 Crimson football games. Track and field, rugby, lacrosse, professional football, and even ice hockey have been played there as well.
The NFL's Boston Patriots called Harvard Stadium home for two years from 1960-61 and played the first American Football League game here - a preseason game against the Dallas Texans.
The Stadium also hosted Olympic soccer competition in the summer of 1984 (Cameroon, Canada, Chile, France, Iraq, Norway and Qatar all competed), and was the site for the University's 350th anniversary celebration in 1986. The facility is also now the home of the Boston Cannons of Major League Lacrosse and the Boston Breakers of Women's Professional Soccer. During the summers of 2010 and 2011, Harvard Stadium hosted the MLL All-Star Game.
Prior to the construction of McCurdy Track in 1984, Harvard's track and field teams held their outdoor meets in The Stadium. The U.S. track and field Olympic trials were held here in 1916 and 1920.
Historic Yet Modern
The last major renovation of the Stadium infrastructure took place in 1984, and recent structural testing confirms that Harvard Stadium will be as functional well into the 21st century as it was in the early 20th.
In recent years, the playing field was recentered to improve the view for fans seated in the closed end and accommodate the 1998 construction of the Murr Center.
Perhaps the most dramatic change to Harvard Stadium took place as part of a 2006-07 upgrade to the facility that included replacing the natural grass surface with FieldTurf, the addition of lights to allow for nighttime use of the field, and the installation a removable dome-like "bubble," that allows for the year-round use of the facility.
The bubble completely covers the playing surface from November until the spring, which gives the Crimson a fully functional home for spring football practice. Entrace to the facility will be through a revolving door to maintain proper air pressure within the bubble, and the temperature will be controlled at approximately 63 degrees. Sensors attached to the bubble will stabilize the structure during heavy winds, and will raise the temperature of the exterior to melt snow.
In addition to providing a permanet home for the Crimson football and lacrosse programs, the bubble, along with the new lights and the FieldTurf playing surface opens Harvard Stadium to a wide range of users. All of Harvard's varsity programs that compete outdoors will have access to the Stadium as a practice facility, while the upgrade exponentially increases the number of club sport, intramural and recreational offerings available to the campus community.
Jordan Field
The stadium, one of the premier soccer facilities in the Northeast, features seating capacity of up to 2,500 fans, including permanent bleachers which seat 1,000 spectators, as well as additional space for standing room only sections.
Jordan Field also has a permanent press box and lights, which allow for games to be played at night. This field provides Harvard with an excellent facility for student-athletes and fans alike.
Jordan Field consists of a 116 yards x 74 yards FieldTurf pitch for matches and practice for Harvard men's and women's lacrosse and men's and women's soccer.
Cumnock Turf
In addition to Harvard Stadium and Soldiers Field Soccer/Lacrosse Stadium, Cumnock Turf is located on the north side of the Harvard Athletic complex and features two playing fields for off-season practices and serves as an early season game venue for the Harvard lacrosse teams.
Locker Room
The men's lacrosse locker room was renovated in 2009 and provides student-athletes with a state-of-the-art, first-class team area with word-paneled lockers, ample space and a projector for video and film.
