| "Obesity is a major public health challenge. More than one-third of the U.S. adult population is considered obese, a figure that has more than doubled since the mid-1970s. Among children, obesity rates have more than tripled over the same period. Not only is obesity associated with numerous medical complications, but it incurs significant economic cost. At its simplest, obesity is a result of an energy imbalance, with obese (and overweight) people consuming more energy (calories) than they are expending. During the last 10-20 years, behavioral scientists have made significant progress toward building an evidence base for understanding what drives energy imbalance in overweight and obese individuals. Meanwhile, food scientists have been tapping into this growing evidence base to improve existing technologies and create new technologies that can be applied to alter the food supply in ways that reduce the obesity burden on the American population. Leveraging Food Technology for Obesity Prevention and Reduction Effort examines the complexity of human eating behavior and explores ways in which the food industry can continue to leverage modern food processing technologies to influence energy intake. The report also examines the opportunities and challenges of altering the food supply--both at home and outside the home--and outlines lessons learned, best practices, and next steps."--Publisher's description.

Ken's Sumo LocoThursday, April 19th, 2007
Good morning from Ken's House of Pancakes!
Presenting the Sumo Loco (and keiki fries). This is what you call a heavy breakfast. Can you finish one?
From the menu: 6 scoops rice, choice of spam (4), 5 oz. Lean "Home Grown" beef patty (2), or 6 oz. mahi-mahi. Gravy + 3 eggs any style.
We chose the traditional beef patties, cooked medium. If they don't ask you how you want it cooked, let them know because otherwise, they cook it pretty well-done.
Knowing I couldn't finish a sumo loco by myself, I brought some help. I really don't think Bev pulled her weight though.
We tried and tried…
… and this is about how far we got (note Bev still had some left in her smaller bowl we used to share).
Ken's fries go so well with their loco mocos… so crisp!
Definitely one of the best loco mocos in Hilo, whatever size you get.
- Burger: 28/30pts (excellent quality hawaii grown beef, grilled)
- Gravy: 26/30pts
- Egg: 20/20pts
- Rice: 20/20pts

VOA's Red Wine & Seafood to have a clambake theme
[media-credit name="Provided by Volunteers of America" align="aligncenter" width="495″][/media-credit]
A traditional New England clambake is a feast that, in addition to clams, will include lobster, mussels, potatoes, corn and hot dogs. Yes, hot dogs.
Now, we can't promise that the latter will appear on Feb. 23 when the Oxford Hotel ballroom, 1637 Wazee St., is transformed into a seaside resort for the 17th edition of Red Wine & Seafood, but this much is certain: Stephen Vice, executive chef of the sponsoring McCormick's Fish House and Bar, always makes Red Wine & Seafood quite the culinary extravaganza. And so if he decides against putting weiners on the clambake menu, it's doubtful they'll be missed.
Red Wine & Seafood is put on by Volunteers of America as a benefit for its Brandon Center, a 118-bed shelter for homeless female veterans and women and children escaping domestic violence situations.

Campagnolo Athena Skeleton Dual-Pivot Brakes
Select style & size:Select options
- Black,One Sizesale $68.09
Tech Specs
No bones about it.
As cyclists, we tend to make considerable sacrifices in pursuit of lower weight, but trading safety for weight just seems boneheaded to us. That's why we're pleased that Campagnolo is now offering dual pivot calipers in the front and rear on the Athena Skeleton Dual-Pivot Brakes. They do gain a few grams over a dual/single set, but the extra stopping power may mean the difference between a close call and a bad end to a ride.
Dual-pivot brakes have a greater lever length on both sides, so they produce more power on the wheel's braking track. Previous setups have used dual-pivot up front but a single-pivot model in the back. Two dual-pivot brakes means that you've got maximum stopping power for maximum safety. This is further complemented by the forged skeleton design, which was and remains focused on stopping power, ease of use, and lightness. Its strength is due to the fact that no part of its body is machined.
The Athena brakes don't have the orbital adjustment of the Chorus, Record, and Super Record branded brakes, and they weigh a claimed 19 grams more than the heaviest of those three. Other than that, they enjoy all of the functionality of Campy's other brakes, including the special compound brake pads and the safety tab that keeps them in place. The tab is in the back half of the shoe and is released with a little leverage from a small, common screwdriver.
These are re-branded TRP's
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
It's maybe not that big a deal except to say these aside from the TT brakes these are the only ones made by TRP.
I only found out when wondering why my Mavic Exalith pads were not fitting properly.
After speaking with Campy US. They said this is the first year they have done this.
I'm not sure how other carbon or rim specific pad is going to fit but if your running Mavic Exalith don't try to run it without the screw and don't force it in as your going to push the pad out from sitting flush.
I think for $100 the price is right but it would have been nice to know in advance there aren't a Campy made brake.
If you don't want to go the DIY route you can use another pad holder but only the Super Records fit the TRP's which probably cost more than the brakes themselves.
If your using the supplied Campy pads you won't have any headaches.

4k partition alignment - a Seagate article
Post by:
28. September 2013., 16:21:02
See original article for graphs and links. Below a copy paste:
"Transition to Advanced Format 4K Sector Hard Drives
Hard drive companies are migrating from 512 bytes to a larger, more efficient sector size of 4096 bytes, referred to as 4K sectors
A change is coming in the hard drive industry. As storage densities have increased dramatically over the years, one of the most elemental aspects of hard drive design, the logical block format size know as a sector, has remained constant.
Beginning in late 2009, accelerating in 2010 and hitting mainstream in 2011, hard drive companies are migrating away from the legacy sector size of 512 bytes to a larger, more efficient sector size of 4096 bytes, generally referred to as 4K sectors, and now referred to as the Advanced Format by IDEMA (The International Disk Drive Equipment and Materials Association).
This paper provides the context for this migration as well as pointing out the longterm benefits to customers and potential pitfalls to be avoided in the move from 512 bytes to 4K sectors.
For over 30 years, data stored on hard drives has been formatted into small logical blocks called sectors. The legacy sector size is 512 bytes. In fact, many aspects of modern computer systems still have design assumptions with regard to this fundamental format standard.
The legacy sector format contains a Gap section, a Sync section, an Address Mark section, a Data section and Error Correction Code (ECC) section (Figure 1).
Figure 1. Legacy Sector Layout on Hard Drive Media
The structure of this sector layout was designed as follows:
Gap section: The gap separates sectors.
Sync section: The sync mark indicates the beginning of the sector and provides timing alignment.
Address Mark section: The address mark contains data to identify the sector's number and location. It also provides status about the sector itself.
Data section: The data section contains all of the user's data.
ECC section: The ECC section contains error correction codes that are used to repair and recover data that might be damaged during the reading or writing process.
This low-level format has served the industry well for many years. However, as hard drive capacities have increased, sector size has increasingly become a limiting design element in improving hard drive capacities and error correction efficiency. For example, comparing the sector size to the total capacity of earlier to more recent hard drives, you can see that the sector resolution has become extremely small. The resolution of the sector (the ratio of sectors as a percent of total storage) has become very fine and increasingly inefficient (Table 1).
Capacity Total Sectors Sector Resolution
Very fine resolution is good when managing small, discrete amounts of data. However, applications common in modern computing systems manage data in large blocks, much larger in fact than the legacy 512-byte sector size.
More importantly, the small 512-byte sector has consumed a smaller and smaller amount of space on the hard drive surface as areal densities have increased. This is a problem in the context of error correction and the risk of media defects. In Figure 2, for example, the data in a hard drive sector is consuming smaller areas, making error correction more challenging because media defects of the same size can damage a higher percentage of the total data payload and, therefore, require more error correction strength.
Figure 2. Media Defects and Areal Density
A 512-byte sector can typically correct a defect of up to 50 bytes in length. Today's hard drives are beginning to push the limits on error correction with leading areal densities. Consequently, the migration to larger sectors within the hard drive industry has become a fundamental need relative to gaining improvements in error correction and achieving format efficiencies.
The Transition to 4K Sectors (Advanced Format)
The storage industry has been collectively working on a transition to larger sector hard drive formats for years; significant work at Seagate and with our peers in the hard drive industry dates back at least five years (Figure 3). In December of 2009, through a coordinated effort within IDEMA, Advanced Format was nominated and approved as the name for the standard of 4K-byte sectors. In addition, all hard drive manufacturers have committed to shipping new hard drive platforms for desktop and notebook products with the Advanced Format sector formatting beginning in January of 2011. Prior to this date, Advanced Format drives will begin to enter the market. Western Digital began shipping an Advanced Format drive in December of 2009, and Seagate has been shipping large sector drives for some time to OEM customers and in branded retail products, most notably USB-attached external hard drives such as the Seagate® FreeAgent® series.
Figure 3. Key Milestones in the Development of the Advanced Format Standard
The Long Term Benefit to 4K Sectors
As all hard drive manufacturers have agreed to transition to the Advanced Format sector design by January 2011, the industry must adapt to and embrace this change to minimize potential negative side effects. Short-term benefits to end users will not be dramatic in terms of immediate capacity increases. However, the migration to 4K-sized sectors will most definitely provide quicker paths to higher areal densities and hard drive capacities as well as more robust error correction.
Improved format efficiency by reducing the amount of space used for error correction code
In Figure 4, the legacy 512-byte sector layout is shown, where each 512-byte sector has non-data-related overhead of 50 bytes for ECC and another 15 bytes for the Gap, Sync and Address Mark sections. This yields a sectorized1 format efficiency of about 88 percent (512/(512 65)).
Figure 4. Legacy 512-Byte Sector Layout
The new Advanced Format standard makes the move to a 4K-byte sector, which essentially combines eight legacy 512-byte sectors into a single 4K-byte sector (Figure 5).
Figure 5. Advanced Format: 4K-Byte Sector Layout
The Advanced Format standard uses the same number of bytes for Gap, Sync and Address Mark, but increases the ECC field to 100 bytes. This yields a sectorized 1 format efficiency of 97 percent (4096/(4096 115)), almost a 10 percent improvement.
Over time, these format efficiencies will pay off, helping to yield higher capacity points while also improving data integrity.
Reliability and Error Correction
While the physical size of the sectors on hard drives has shrunk, taking up smaller and smaller amounts of space, media defects have not. Consider Figure 6, which displays images of what we would consider very small objects. In relation to the fly height of a hard drive read/write head, these objects are relatively large. Microscopic particles much smaller than those in this diagram can create media defects on a hard drive.
Figure 6. Small-Scale Representation of Hard Drive Fly Height
The larger 4K sector in the Advanced Format standard approximately doubles 2 the size of the ECC block from 50 bytes to 100 bytes, providing a much needed improvement in error correction efficiency and robustness against particles and media defects.
Together, the benefits of improved format efficiency and more robust error correction make the transition to 4K sectors well worth the effort. Properly managing this transition to capture the long-term benefits with minimal side effects is a key focus for the hard drive industry.
Understanding the Impacts to the 4K Transition
As noted earlier, there are many aspects of modern computing systems that continue to assume that sectors are always 512 bytes. To transition the entire industry over to the new 4K standard and expect all of these legacy assumptions to suddenly change is simply not realistic. Over time, the implementation of native 4K sectors, where both host and hard drive exchange data in 4K blocks, will take place. Until then, hard drive manufacturers will implement the 4K sector transition in conjunction with a technique called 512-byte sector emulation.
512-Byte Sector Emulation
The introduction of 4K-sized sectors will depend heavily on 512-byte sector emulation. This term refers to the process of translating from the 4K physical sectors used in Advanced Format to the legacy 512-byte sectors expected by host computing systems.
The 512-byte emulation is acceptable in that it does not force complex changes in legacy computing systems. However, it carries the potential for negative performance consequences, particularly when writing data that does not neatly correspond to 8 translated legacy sectors. This becomes clear when considering the reading and writing process required by 512-byte emulation.
Emulated Read and Write Processes
To read data from a 4K sector formatted drive in 512 emulation mode, the process is very straightforward, as shown in Figure 7.
Figure 7. Potential Read Sequence for 512-Byte Emulation
The process of reading the 4K block of data and reformatting the specific 512- byte virtual sector requested by the host computer is performed in the drive's DRAM memory and does not measurably impact performance.
A write process can be more complicated, particularly when data the host computer attempts to write is a subset of a physical 4K sector. In these cases, the hard drive must first read the entire 4K sector containing the targeted location of the host write request, merge the existing data with the new data and then rewrite the entire 4K sector (Figure 8).
Figure 8. Potential Write Sequence for 512-Byte Emulation
In this instance, the hard drive must perform extra mechanical steps in the form of reading a 4K sector, modifying the contents and then writing the data. This process is called a read-modify-write cycle, which is undesirable because it has a negative impact on hard drive performance. Minimizing the probability and frequency of read-modify-write instances is the most important aspect of making the transition to 4K sectors smooth and painless.
Read-Modify-Write Prevention
Write requests that are misaligned because of logical to physical partition misalignment
Write requests smaller than 4K in size
Aligned Versus Unaligned Hard Drive Partitions
Up to now we have not discussed how host systems and hard drives communicate the location of sectors on the media. It's time to introduce the Logical Block Address (LBA).
Each 512-byte sector is assigned a unique LBA, from zero (0) to the number required based on the size of the disk. The host requests a specific block of data using the assigned LBA. When the host requests to write data, an LBA address is returned at the end of the write telling the host where the data is located. This becomes important in the transition to 4K sectors since there are eight different possibilities for where the host LBA starts.
When LBA 0 is aligned to the first virtual 512-byte block in the 4K physical sector, the logical to physical alignment condition for 512-byte emulation is termed Alignment 0. Another possible alignment is when LBA 0 is aligned to the second virtual 512-byte block in the 4K physical sector. This situation is termed Alignment 1 and is shown in comparison to the Alignment 0 condition in Figure 9. There are six additional possibilities for unaligned partitions that can result in read-modify-write events similar to the Alignment 1 condition.
Figure 9. Alignment Conditions
Alignment 0 conditions work very well with the new 4K sectors in the Advanced Format standard. This is because a hard drive can easily map eight contiguous 512-byte sectors into a single 4K sector. This is accomplished by storing 512-byte write requests in the hard drive's cache until enough contiguous 512-byte blocks are received that form a 4K sector. Since modern computing applications deal with chunks of data which are typically larger than 4K, runts are extremely rare. However, the Alignment 1 situation is another matter.
When hard drive partitions are created that result in an unaligned condition as shown in Figure 9, this results in read-modify-write cycles that can slow hard drive performance. This is the key condition that must be avoided in the implementation of Advanced Format hard drives, and is discussed later.
Small Writes
In modern computing applications, data such as documents, pictures and video streams are much larger than 512 bytes. Therefore, hard drives can store these write requests in cache until there are enough sequential 512-byte blocks to build a 4K sector. As long as hard drive partitions are aligned, the hard drive can easily map 512-byte sectors into 4K sectors without any performance penalties. There are, however, certain low-level processes that can force a hard drive to deal with runt situations which are not associated with unaligned partitions. These occur in rare instances where the host makes discrete write requests that are actually smaller than 4K. These are typically operating system level activities dealing with the file systems, journaling or similar low-level activities. Generally, these occur in small enough numbers so that overall performance is not significantly impacted. Still, it's recommended that system designers consider proper modifications to any of these processes to maximize performance as the 4K transition becomes reality.
Preparing for and Managing the 4K Transition
Now that we understand the benefits of migrating to 4K sectors as well as the potential impacts to performance, it is time to examine how best the industry can manage this transition. This topic is best discussed in the context of the two most popular operating systems deployed in modern computing: Windows and Linux.
Managing 4K Sectors in the Windows Environment
The single most important aspect of managing the transition to 4K sectors is related to the alignment issues described above. Advanced Format drives work well in an Alignment 0 condition, where the physical to logical starting position are equal. Alignment conditions are created when the hard drive partition(s) is created. Partitions are created by software that falls into two general categories:
Windows OS releases
Hard drive partitioning utilities
In the case of partitions created with the Windows operating system, there are three Windows releases that warrant discussion: Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7. Microsoft was involved with the community planning the transition to larger sectors. Consequently, they released 4K-sector-compatible software beginning with Windows Vista Service Pack 1. Software that creates partitions of Alignment 0 (those that work well with the Advanced Format standard) is referred to as "4K aware." Table 2 describes the situation relative to current generations of the Microsoft Windows operating system.
Operating System Release 4K Aware? Results
Windows XP No Creates primary partition with Alignment 1 condition (unaligned)
Windows Vista-Pre Service Pack 1 No Large sector aware but creates partitions incorrectly (unaligned)
Windows Vista-Service Pack 1 or later Yes Creates partitions with Alignment 0 condition (aligned)
Windows 7 Yes Creates partitions with Alignment 0 condition (aligned)
Clearly, new computer systems shipping with the latest versions of Windows will be in a very good situation relative to the use of Advanced Format hard drives. However, for systems that are still using Windows XP or Windows Vista, pre- Service Pack 1, there is significant risk of reduced performance relative to the partitions created by the OS.
In addition to the potential for unaligned partitions created with older versions of the Windows OS, there are also a number of software utilities that are widely used by system builders, OEMS, value-added resellers and IT managers that can also result in unaligned partitions. In fact, it is more common for partitions to be created with these types of utilities rather than with the Windows OS itself. Thus the risk of creating unaligned partitions, and therefore an environment that can result in degraded hard drive performance for drives using 4K sectors, is significant. To complicate the matter, hard drives shipped in systems today typically consist of multiple hard drive partitions. This means that each partition on the hard drive must be created with 4K-aware partitioning software to make sure proper alignment and performance is ensured. Figure 10 shows the potential results of creating multi hard drive partitions with software that is not 4K aware.
Figure 10. Multiple Partitions and Alignment Conditions
Dealing With Unaligned Conditions
There are three potential methods to avoid and/or manage an unaligned condition that has the potential to impact hard drive performance.
Use a new version of the Windows OS or work with your partitioning utility provider to get a 4K-aware version of the software.
Use a hard drive utility to realign disk partitions.
Depend on your hard drive supplier to manage performance regardless of the alignment condition.
Using a 4K-aware version of Windows to create hard drive partitions is a simple and straightforward method to avoid unaligned conditions. Vendors of software utilities that create hard drive partitions should be able to tell you if 4K-aware versions are available. If so, migrate to these versions to avoid further concern.
Some hard drive manufacturers are dealing with this issue by offering utilities that examine existing hard drive partitions and realign as needed. This alternative takes additional time and adds steps to the system building or upgrading process.
Ultimately, hard drive manufacturers will develop more sophisticated methods to manage unaligned conditions while avoiding negative performance impacts.
As the transition to Advanced Format drives gains momentum, all of these methods will play a role in maximizing the industry benefits while also avoiding any potential performance impacts.
Managing 4K Sectors in the Linux Environment
The key strategies in managing the transition to 4K sectors in a Windows environment also apply to Linux. Most Linux system users have access to the source code, giving them the ability to customize the OS to fit their specific needs. This provides an opportunity to proactively update their Linux system to properly manage Advanced Format hard drives.
Properly creating disk partitions that are well-aligned to Advanced Format drives and minimizing small system level writes that can generate runts independently of alignment issues can largely be avoided by making modifications to your Linux system.
Changes have been made to both the Linux kernel and utilities to support Advanced Format drives. These changes ensure that all partitions on Advanced Format drives are properly aligned on 4K sector boundaries. Kernel support for Advanced Format drives is available in kernel versions 2.6.31 and above. Support for portioning and formatting Advanced Format drives is available in the following Linux utilities:
Fdisk: GNU Fdisk is a command line utility that partitions hard drives. Versions 1.2.3 and above support Advanced Format drives.
Parted: GNU Parted is a graphical utility for partitioning hard drives. Versions 2.1 and above support Advanced Format drives.
The industry transition away from the legacy 512-byte sector is a certainty. Hard drive manufacturers have all agreed to adopt the Advanced Format standard no later than January 2011 for new models shipping into the notebook and desktop market segments.
This transition will provide hard drive engineers with another tool to continue to drive improved areal densities and more robust error correction. Consumers will benefit as hard drives continue to offer higher capacities, lower costs per gigabyte and continued reliably levels expected by hard drive technology.
The key to a smooth transition is a well-educated storage community, so that potential performance pitfalls can be avoided. The most critical aspect of a smooth and successful transition to 4K sectors used in Advanced Format is to promote the use of 4K-aware hard drive partitioning tools. As a system builder, OEM, integrator, IT professional or even an end user who is building our configuring a computer, be sure to:
Use Windows Vista (Service Pack 1 or later) or Windows 7 to create hard drive partitions.
When using third-party software or utilities to create hard drive partitions, check with your vendor to make sure they are updated and confirmed to be 4K aware.
If you have customers who commonly re-image systems, encourage them to make sure their imaging utilities are 4K aware.
If you are using Linux, check with your Linux vendor or your engineering organization to make sure your system has adopted the changes to become 4K aware.
Check with your hard drive vendor for any other advice or guidance on using Advanced Format drives in your systems.
Together with our industry colleagues and customers, we can make the transition to Advanced Format 4K sectors smooth and efficient, leveraging the long-term potential benefits for the entire storage industry.
1 Sectorized format refers strictly to the data sectors and does not take into account overhead associated with servo data and other sector layout inefficiencies.
2 Not every implementation of a 4K sector exactly doubles the ECC bytes when moving from 512-byte to 4K sectors.
business hard drives, advanced format 4k sector hard drives, enterprise servers, cloud computing

OVNI Orquestra de Violoncelos Noturnos Interplanetários - Brasilia Cello Ensemble
OVNI is a Brazilian Cello Orchestra established in 2015, which its first performance was at the Brasilia Planetarium, in October 1st 2015.
"OVNI" means UFO in Portuguese. A nice play of words to show the jolly spirit of the group.
Since then, students are improving the repertoire of cello ensemble for beginners, and playing music while the public can listen and see at the same time stars, planets, galaxies, the cosmos and all the wonders planetariums can provide.
The orchestra does its rehearsals at the Escola de Música de Brasilia (the capital of Brazil, just a few yards of the National Congress) under the supervision of cello teacher Danilo Chaib.
In 2017 the group changed the initial I which originally was meant for "Iniciantes" (Beginners) to "Interplanetários" (Interplanetary) which at this point makes more sense :)
I love anime and play anime songs on my instrument but some people can't do this group will make music for the anime. Name chosen by candyandy22101.

Banana group
I have written a few compositions with the word "banana" in it. Banana refers to the fruit or to music that is bananas. This all started because the Downy Yellow Dingle Dork (.a famous bird who even was even in a musescore opera) loves bananas. Submit any composition with a fruity silky amusing funny theme or jwhat themheck, put anything in there because I may think it's funny. I laughed at Beethoven and Mahler (especially Mahler) so your may seem amusing also. I try to comment on every piece. hey, fuss at me if I forget and don't comment.
This group is for all ocarina players and people who are interested in the instrument. It's also meant to bring more awareness to the wonderful world of sweet potatoes, English pendants and all other shapes and forms of this ancient vessel flute.
Synthwave, Synthpop and other old electro song
You can share here your own Synthwave, synthpop or old electro composition as well as covers.

Over the past few years, tech and health-care companies have demonstrated that Apple's (NASDAQ:AAPL) iPhone has plenty of potential as a portable medical device.
Beyond being a phone, the iPhone is a powerful ultraportable computer with a touchscreen, onboard cameras, a microphone, and motion sensors. Those features make it a viable replacement for the brains of many modern medical devices -- allowing for the creation of much cheaper and smaller systems.
Let's look at five surprising medical uses for the iPhone, and some familiar companies that are associated with these new uses, such as Sanofi (NASDAQ:SNY), Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT), Qualcomm (NASDAQ:QCOM), and Google (NASDAQ:GOOGL).
The iPhone as a glucose meter
Diabetes patients have to check their blood sugar levels regularly with glucose meters. These devices traditionally require a pinprick to dip a blood sample onto a strip of glucose paper, which is then inserted into the glucose meter to be measured.
Sanofi recognized that the iPhone and the iPod Touch could be used as replacements for traditional glucose meters, since many patients already carries them around on a regular basis. In 2011, the FDA approved Sanofi's iBGStar, a small dongle that attaches to the bottom of either device and reads compatible test strips.
The device is then used like a regular glucose meter, but the accompanying app on the smartphone is considerably smarter than traditional devices -- it automatically synchronizes the blood glucose readings over the Internet, giving the user an accurate record of reference that can be shared with others.
The iPhone as a blood pressure monitor
The Withings Blood Pressure monitor connects an external blood pressure cuff to the iPhone, turning the iPhone into a control panel for the device. It is also compatible with the iPod Touch and the iPad.
The monitor also automatically records the readings, dates them, and keeps an accurate log of previous blood pressure readings to share with other people.
The device also comes with the option to store the collected data in Microsoft's electronic health records service, HealthVault, which health-care professionals can access.
The iPhone as a portable ECG device
Last December, the FDA approved AliveCor, a device that turns the iPhone into an ECG/EKG (electrocardiograph) reader. The device attaches to the back of the iPhone to read and record a patient's heart rate via an app.
The $100 device, invented by Oklahoma cardiologist David Albert, can be used to conduct a regular ECG test to assess cardiac problems, such as rhythmic disturbances. The device was recently ported to Google Android and has also been approved for veterinary use.
The low cost of the device and widespread availability of smartphones make the AliveCor an ideal device for treating patients on the field in developing countries. By comparison, a lower-end ECG system can cost roughly $1,200.
Qualcomm is a major investor in AliveCor, which is in line with the tech giant's stated long-term goals of merging technology with medicine. In August, Qualcomm and Palomar Health started Glassomics, an idea incubator focused on focusing on the development of new portable and wearable health-care devices, with a specific focus on Google Glass and smartphones.
The iPhone as a dermatologist
Smartphone cameras are improving at a breakneck pace. Although the 8-megapixel camera on the iPhone 5S still doesn't hold a candle to Nokia's whopping 41 megapixels on its Lumia 1020, the iPhone's camera is more than powerful enough to analyze photos of skin problems.
A major advantage that smartphones have over traditional cameras is that they can analyze photos and attempt to match the photo to similar ones in color, size, and shape through programmed algorithms. In addition, the photos can be documented in detail for future reference and shared with others.
This makes it a highly useful tool for diagnosing skin problems. For example, FotoFinder has released the Handyscope Dermatoscope, an attachable case and lens which provides 20x magnification for the iPhone's camera for close-up shots of moles and other skin conditions. The device doesn't actually scan and analyze the moles -- it documents them and maps them out on a virtual patient.
The App Store has plenty of other apps that try to scan for cancerous moles through algorithms and digitally sent photos. However, trials have shown that these apps can be wrong up to 30% of the time, so they shouldn't be considered reliable replacements for professional dermatologists just yet.
The iPhone ultrasound
Last but not least, the iPhone can also be used as an ultrasound device.
Mobisante's MobiUS SP1 ultrasound system for the iPhone was approved in 2011. Like the other devices mentioned in this article, the MobiUS is an attachable ultrasound device which uses the iPhone as a display and record keeping device.
Traditional ultrasound machines can cost from $10,000 to $200,000, while the MobiUS system costs between $7,000 and $8,000.
Therefore, Mobisante's smaller and cheaper device could be a very attractive product for rural areas and developing countries, since ultrasounds are necessary for a wide variety of medical conditions, such as cardiovascular and gastrointestinal problems.
The Foolish takeaway
These devices and apps only represent the tip of the iceberg for the medical uses of the iPhone and other smartphones. However, it's easy to notice a recurring theme here -- by connecting devices to the iPhone, companies can make cheaper, cloud-connected medical devices that allow for easier backup and sharing of accumulated patient records.
However, Google Glass could change all of that in the near future. These devices could also be connected to Google Glass via Bluetooth, and could even become more convenient because of Glass' hands-free form factor.
In closing, dear readers -- what other jaw-dropping medical uses of the iPhone do you think will be popular in the future? Please share your ideas in the comments section below!

Nature has been conducting continuous experiments into processes, and has been doing it for millions of years. The environment has been metamorphosing its materials, to form new existence, in an ever-changing society. My investigation into environmental processing is to explore an understanding of nature's rhythm in our culture and how we as people interact with it as well. Everyday we hear of tragedies that happen upon our earth and these tragedies bring forth the loss of living elements. With growing concern in environmental issues, the understanding of nature's rhythm and the recycling of materials have become more important and this has peaked my thoughts in how I work. I respectfully approach this environmental processing by incorporating recycled matter as well as low-valued materials mostly which I have gathered. Gathering and collecting objects / materials are very important parts of my work process. Because I believe my works are the outcome of the collaboration between those objects / materials and I, and that collaboration starts from that moment. In the process I examine nature to understand its language through shape, pattern, color, texture, scale and its changes. My works are produced as a result of conversation between nature and I. Through this process, I want to have my work carry the beauty and the power that I see and feel in nature.

Every week, Food52's Senior Editor Kristen Miglore is unearthing recipes that are nothing short of genius. Today, a blueprint for the smoothest, most scoopable ice cream -- no yolks allowed.
- Kristen
Back in the olden days before this summer, it seemed the only way to lock down a smooth, scoopable, re-freezable homemade ice cream was to get eggs involved and make a proper custard. This is fine, when you're up for willing egg yolks not to scramble and ice cream that always seems to taste a bit like French Vanilla. Then this June, Jeni Britton Bauer -- who already owned a string of artisanal scoop shops in Ohio and Tennessee -- went ahead and translated her flawless, eggless technique for the home cook and got us all abuzz. (In fact, if you opened a food magazine this summer, any of them, you probably already know how cool she is.)
At some point in the fifteen years she's been making and selling ice cream, Bauer realized that an eggy custard base has a nasty habit of muting other flavors. Here's why: The butterfat in cream will melt and bloom as soon as it hits your tongue -- loud and clear, you're tasting roasted pistachio, dark chocolate, or cognac. Egg yolk fat isn't so quick on the uptake. It sits on your tongue and gets in the way. Yolk is great and all -- for enriching a hollandaise or painting on a pie crust -- but here, it acts like some washed up lounge act with the real talent just left to hum and sway in the background. So Bauer kicked the diva to the curb and developed a formula to put the butterfat in charge while keeping gritty ice crystals at bay too -- all with the help of readily available baking aisle staples.
Most of her recipes start with the same comforting step, prepping three bowls (see above, left): a lump of soft cream cheese whisked with salt; a cornstarch and milk slurry; and an ice bath, with a sturdy Ziploc bag bobbing in it, waiting to cool down your base fast, fast, fast. This is like food chemistry lab for preschoolers. "You can do this," say the three bowls. Because once you have them lined up, you're halfway to ice cream.The Sweet Corn Ice Cream with pockets of Black Raspberry Sauce alone is worth buying the book, the ice cream maker, the corn, and the berries before summer fades (Anti-ice cream maker? Saveur has a few workarounds). The Basil with Honeyed Pine Nuts is confusing and delightful, and only a little bit like pesto candy. The Salty Caramel is as life-affirming as it sounds.
But Bauer's genius is also in giving you tools: she provides the blueprint, plus the science behind it in digestible form, so you can go your own way with brittles and infusions and variegates, like she has.Dolling up her basic formula for ice cream (or frozen yogurt) can be as simple as steeping a vanilla bean or making a lemon syrup, or as complicated as you like. Cones, marshmallows, caramelized white chocolate freckles; they're all within reach. Though her recipes lean noble and from-scratch, there's also the occasional, well-played indulgence. To wit, there is a sundae, the Chocomole, that involves a Chocolate Frito Crunch. (Before you cringe: When was the last time you looked at the ingredients on a bag of Fritos? There are exactly three, and Michael Pollan's great-grandmother would recognize all of them as food. I say: Frito on, Jeni.) All Fritos aside, below you'll find the blueprint, and a simple Lemon Cream Ice Cream. It will charm you any time of year, from the stickiest last days of summer to the peak of winter citrus season: it's racy yet mellow, clean yet rich -- and show-stopping, in a way egg yolks would never stand for.

Blake's Mole & Leighton's fringe
Leighton Meester was photographed yesterday in New York leaving the Ritz Hotel promoting her new movie Monte Carlo wearing a new(ish?) fringe. HATE it. Love everything else – the dress, shoes, all of it – but the fringe...cheapens it, non? I know you think I'm biased about a fringe, and I am, but this girl is fresh and beautiful and young and now, now she looks hard and low classy. All because of that goddamn fringe. And then there's Monte Carlo. Not surprisingly the reviews are ...not good. But then again, it wasn't made for reviewers, and I'm not sure reviewers can review for 14 year old girls. That's the audience for Monte Carlo, isn't it? Selena Gomez fans?
Having said that, while I understand Selena Gomez's involvement, I'm not sure this is a good idea for Leighton. For Leighton to be associated with this kind of project. I mean, she already fulfills that kind of flavour in Gossip Girl. And she's kinda doing the same during hiatus. Of course Monte Carlo was shot last summer, yes, and she, hopefully, has a better strategy happening right now. But, you know, this is what your team is for. To be able to project, calculate, plan, look ahead...
Leighton is a good actress. She's easily the best among a lot of sh-t on Gossip Girl. And yet here's Blake Lively leaving a table a read for The Savages the other day with Salma Hayek and Benicio del Toro. It's an Oliver Stone project. They say that the script was brilliant. And Blake, while she does play "the girlfriend" again, is said to have landed a part that many of her peers really wanted.
Here's yet another example of the better actor not getting the better opportunities.
Can we talk about the mole on Blake's face? She's not wearing any makeup. I like her better without. And I like the mole too. It has character. It's actually really cute. But we never say that about our own moles, do we? My mother made me remove one right above the corner of my mouth on my left side when I was a teenager because according to Facial Feng Shui it was something really bad. She has a mole underneath her mouth that she's never had removed because it was good luck. Sarah Jessica Parker got rid of hers on her chin just a couple of years ago. Obviously she didn't like it. Do you think Blake will keep hers?

(Varanus varius)
Although averaging 1.5 metres in length, the Lace Monitor has been known to grow to 2 metres. Its colouring is typically dark blue with many scattered cream, yellow or white scales. Larger spots or blotches may also be formed by groups of scales. There is also the "Bells" form which is found along the Australia's east coast and central regions, and its colour difference is marked with broad yellow and black cross-bands. All Lace Monitors have toes equipped with long, strong claws, which are used for climbing and digging. Their tails are extremely long and are usually almost twice the length of the monitor's head and body.
The Lace Monitor is found along the East Coast of Australia inhabiting forests and coastal tablelands. The Lace Monitor is arboreal and will often seek shelter from the heat and cold in tree hollows or hollow logs.
The Lace Monitor feeds upon birds, insects, reptiles, small mammals and carrion. It also actively forages for nesting birds' eggs.
The Lace Monitor is usually a solitary species but will come together in spring and early summer during the breeding season. Most females breed every year and 4-6 weeks after mating will lay 6-12 eggs. The female will dig a hole in the side of a termite mound to lay her eggs. The termites then close up the hole, keeping the eggs safe and at a constant incubation temperature of 30 degrees Celsius. After 8-9 months the young will hatch and the female will actually return to dig them out.

Control White Balance for True-to-Life Colors
Wherever you are, whether the light is bright and sunny, the pale glow of sunrise, or the dimness of a cloudy day, your eyes adjust to the lighting around you. Unfortunately, your camera isn't always able to do that - at least, not without help. When a camera reads the lighting wrong, the colors in your photo can appear too warm or too cool. To get the most true-to-life colors in your photos, you can manually control the white balance on your photos, or, in otherwords, you can tell your camera what type of light you are in and that it needs to adjust accordingly.
In your program mode, select the white balance icon (usually shown as a "sun") and choose one of the preset options. The most common presets are listed below and will help you achieve true-to-life photos, no matter what the lighting is.
Still uncertain about your camera's capabilities? Learn more about Common Camera Terms, or download the Camera Modes and Settings Cheat Sheet, and refer to it whenever you like!
For a complete guide to taking your camera off of auto and other amazing tips for taking great photos, check out Creating Keepsakes special issue, Better Digital Photos and Scrapbooking (available in both print and digital formats). It's full of ideas to help you make the most of digital technology for taking, editing, enhancing, sharing, and scrapbooking your photos.

Big 12 Summer Update: Texas LonghornsPosted by dnspewak on August 2nd, 2012
In an effort to remind you that college basketball does in fact exist during the summer, Big 12 microsite writer Danny Spewak (@dspewak) will roll out three summer updates per week during the next month. The goal is to compile every bit of news and information from the summer months for each team and package it into neat, easy-to-read capsules for your convenience. Next on the list — Texas.
2011-12 record: 20-14, 9-9 (6th place, Big 12)
The worst nightmare happened for Texas' J'Covan Brown: He went undrafted in June. It's easy to play the role of revisionist historian with regard to Brown's decision to enter the NBA Draft and skip his final year of school in Austin. In hindsight, though, perhaps he should have stayed in school and tried his luck in 2013. In reality, Brown made the decision with his family in mind. He has a daughter to take care of, and he'll find a way to make a lot of money playing this game somewhere. After averaging 20.1 points per game as a junior and taking almost all of the shots for the young Longhorns — sometimes earning the team a reputation as a One-Man Show — his decision to bolt for the pros this summer now leaves a major void for Rick Barnes in 2012-13. It would be silly to use the cliched "addition by subtraction" theorem in this situation because Brown was so important and frankly had a terrific junior campaign without much experience surrounding him, but there's no doubt Barnes will have a different team without him on the court. With heralded point guard Myck Kabongo ready to take a leap in production as a sophomore after growing up considerably by the end of his freshman season, Barnes should have no trouble qualifying for yet another NCAA Tournament. Despite a close call a year ago, he's still never missed the NCAAs during his tenure at Texas, and even though his team is maddeningly inexperienced, it should certainly make leaps with a stud recruiting class and improving group of sophomores.
Summer Orientation: Barnes welcomes six new scholarship freshmen to his roster, headlined by one of the Big 12's presumed top newcomers in center Cameron Ridley. Say goodbye to last year's woes of lacking a true post presence. Ridley's 6'10", 245-pound frame speaks for itself. So does his game. He's a traditional center with back-to-the-basket post moves, a rarity in this age of Kevin Durant and European-style hybrids. The Texas native's decision to stay home changes the dynamics of Barnes' roster, and so does fellow freshman big Prince Ibeh. He's considered more of a project than Ridley and has a leaner body type, but he's another true center who could become a monster if he develops his offensive game. Barnes told ESPN's Andy Katz this summer that both Ridley and Ibeh are right on track to contribute as freshmen, but that article actually mentions another freshman as the biggest surprise of the off-season. That's DeMarcus Holland, a 6'3" shooting guard noted by Barnes as performing like an "every day" kind of guy. That's some of the highest praise a freshman can achieve before stepping on the court, and it's the kind of comment that leads us to believe Holland could be a valuable reserve in his first season. Point guard Javan Felix will need to grow up quickly in order to backup Kabongo, and three-star small forward Ioannis Papapetrou finds himself in an interesting role as one of the only true wings on this roster. To round out the class, Connor Lammert will fight for minutes in a crowded frontcourt. The 6'7" power forward had a decent outing in a summer All-Star game by scoring 14 points. As is the case for every single team in America with rather large freshmen classes, the Longhorns' Big Six will have to sort themselves out by the end of the offseason and October practice. Ibeh and Ridley are early bets to see a ton of playing time, but there's no telling who else will emerge in their rookie campaigns. Overall, though, this appears to be a good group with a lot of potential down the road, and 2012-13 should serve as a solid foundation for this class.

Who should answer the questionnaires?
The first person to think about these questions is the Institutional Coordinator. Every university is different when it comes to data—some are highly centralized and can fill in data on the Institutional and Program Questionnaires centrally. Others are not. The IC will be responsible for sending the program questionnaires to the right place and collecting them before transmittal to the NRC. The Faculty Questionnaire will be populated with the program name by the Institutional Coordinator's office. Then they should be sent back to the NRC, which will distribute them, with passwords, to the faculty members, who will be asked to return them to the NRC. The Student Questionnaire will also be sent by the NRC to a list of advanced doctoral students supplied to the NRC by the Institutional Coordinator. These will be in five fields: English, Economics, Physics, Neuroscience/Neurobiology, and Chemical Engineering. IC's will be notified a month before the distribution of the Student and Faculty questionnaire and asked to raise awareness of the impeding data collection effort.

Our Education Program is creating Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS)-aligned lesson plans so students learn how to recognize and analyze primary sources using Presidential records in the public domain related to the initiatives of President George W. Bush and Mrs. Laura Bush. Once the Primarily Teaching program begins, an index for all lesson plans and curriculum guides will be added. In the meantime, explore these resources.
Using a vocabulary activity, brainstorming, and "Source Scenarios," students learn to differentiate between primary and secondary sources. They will also consider the role primary and secondary sources and historical events play in their lives.
Top of Page
As history detectives, students learn how to analyze historical clues shared with them by the images and objects compiled in the Object Analysis PowerPoint. Students work through National Archives' records in a group analysis activity and test their understanding with one of the independent activities included. They complete their detective work and demonstrate understanding of historical analysis through selection of an included writing prompt. The lesson plan has been scaled for elementary and secondary levels, and includes reference information for teachers as well.
Although formal lesson plans are not included with these Interactive Modules, educators may assign students to research the The First Ladies and Their Roles through examination of primary sources highlighting 7 diverse domestic and global initiatives of Mrs. Laura Bush. All records included in the modules are provided by the George W. Bush Presidential Library and Museum, and available for download. Check out the "Links for Additional Information" in each module, offering links to external sites for lesson plans and student projects.
SOAPPS-Tone is a commonly used document analysis strategy in the Advanced Placement classroom. The concept has been modified to create the ABC acronym, which is recommended for use with younger students. The STAC'D (Stacked) Method is useful for analyzing archival video and can be modified according to the students' level.
Designed and developed by our Education staff, these worksheets can help students understand how to analyze and evaluate the holdings of the George W. Bush Presidential Library and Museum.

I have a wooden pencil box that has been a fixture on my desk since grade school. I believe my sister gave it to me... or perhaps I stole it from her; my memory is a little hazy when it comes to how things once hers came into my possession. A new pencil box instantly sends me back to crisp fall days dressed in even-crisper white shell-button blouses, itchy wool skirts and droopy knee socks. What does all this have to do with our cool little corduroy zippered pencil case with the cute front-buttoned pocket? Nothing really. But it was a sweet story, wasn't it?
Our cool little corduroy zippered pencil case with the cute front-buttoned pocket is an ideal matching accessory for our Back to School: Perfect Slouchy Book Bag. Make them both, then give them to your sister... you probably owe it to her for all that stuff you stole.
Sewing Tools You Need
- Any Sewing Machine (we recommend the Janome JNH 1860)
- Zipper foot
Fabric and Other Supplies
- Fabric scraps to fit the cutting dimensions shown below: we used Valori Wells' Nest Corduroy from Free Spirit Fabrics in Autumn Paisley for the exterior fabric and Moda Fabric's Bella Solids in Natural for the lining.
NOTE: If you don't have enough scraps on hand, you will need ⅓ yard of exterior fabric (based on a horizontal corduroy wale; ¼ yard will work if you use a plain fabric) and ¼ yard of lining fabric.
- 9" zipper
- 1 small carabiner in a coordinating color: we used lime green
- 3" of ½" wide coordinating grosgrain ribbon for carabiner hook: we used an orange with white polka dots
- 7-8" of 2.5 mm waxed cotton cord to match fabric: we used dark brown
- One ¾" button
- Two large-hole wooden beads
NOTE: Hole must be large enough to thread onto waxed cord.
- All purpose thread in color to match fabric
- All-purpose thread in color to contrast with fabric: we used dark brown
- See-through ruler
- Seam gauge
- Fabric pencil, pen or chalk
- Iron and ironing board
- Scissors or rotary cutter and mat
- Straight pins
Getting Started
- From the exterior bag fabric (Valori Wells' Nest Corduroy from Free Spirit Fabrics in Autumn Paisley in our sample), cut the following:
NOTE: We wanted the corduroy's wale to run horizontally for our pencil case, and so cut all our pieces accordingly.
TWO 10" wide x 7" tall rectangles for case body.
ONE 8" wide x 6" tall rectangle for the front pocket.
ONE 4" x 4" square for the front pocket loop.
- From the lining fabric (Moda Fabric's Bella Solids in Natural in our sample), cut TWO 10" x 7" rectangles.
At Your Sewing Machine & Ironing Board
Making and placing pocket and loop
- Find the 8" x 6" pocket piece.
- Press under ½" along both 8" sides and one 6" end.
- On the opposite 6" end, make a simple 1½" hem. To do this, press under ½", then press under again 1", pin in place, and stitch close to the fold to finish.
- Sew the button at the exact center of this hem line on the front of the pocket.
- Find the 4" x 4" loop piece.
- Fold it in half diagonally, right sides together, to form a triangle.
- Stitch ½" away from the fold. Folding and stitching on the diagonal will make the loop bias-cut, which will allow it to curve without wrinkling.
- Trim the seam allowance to ¼" and turn right side out with a safety pin, loop turner or hemostat. Press flat.
- Place the pocket, right side up, on the right side on one 10" x 7" exterior piece. It should be positioned approximately 2" from each end and 1" from the top and bottom. Slip the folded loop in place and test its position with the button. Pin everything in place.
- Adjust the loop as needed to best fit the button, also making sure the top edge of the pocket stays flat beneath the loop. When it fits just right, pin the ends in place.
- Sew the loop ends in place with a line of stitching, going back and forth several times to secure.
- Edgestitch the pocket in place along both sides and across the bottom, pivoting at the corners.
Inserting the zipper
- The process outlined below is very similar to how we inserted the zipper in our wristlet tutorial. If you are new to inserting zippers, you might want to review this tutorial; there are several additional photos, which help you walk through the process.
- Place the finished front of the case right side up on your work surface.
- Lay your zipper upside down on top of it (teeth facing down on the right side of the fabric). The edge of the zipper tape should be even with the fabric's raw edge.
- Lay a 10" x 7" piece of lining, right side down, on top of the front piece, sandwiching the zipper in between the two layers of fabric. As above, line up the top raw edge with the edge of the zipper tape. Pin all three layers together, being careful to pin through just the top of the zipper. You need to be able to open and close the zipper; you can't do that if you've pinned through the whole thing.
- Fold back the lining to reveal the zipper, and zip it open about half way.
- Fold the lining back down into position and take the assembled layers to your machine. Attach your zipper foot. Your needle should be in the left-most position.
- Stitch as close to the zipper as the foot will allow, removing the pins as you sew.
- Go slowly. When you get to the middle, where you can start to feel you're approaching the zipper pull, stop with your needle in the down position. Twist your fabric around slightly and open up the layers so you can access the zipper. Be gentle! Carefully close the zipper. Re-position your fabric and finish sewing to the end.
- When finished, your lining piece should be on one side of the zipper and your front piece on the other. Fold the lining and front piece wrong sides together, so the zipper stands straight up, and press.
- Repeat to attach the other side of the zipper between the back exterior panel and the other piece of lining.
Final assembly
- Find your 3" piece of ribbon. Fold it in half, wrong sides together.
- Pin it to the right side of the front of the case just below the zipper tape, as shown below. The raw edges should be flush and the loop facing in. Machine baste it in place.
- Un-zip the zipper about half way and fold the case right sides together.
- Align the raw edges of the sides and the bottom, all layers, and pin in place.
- Using a ½" seam allowance, stitch down both sides and across the bottom, pivoting at the corners. Clip the corners and turn right side out through the zippered opening.
- Push out the corners and press well.
Optional French seam
- The final assembly steps above work just dandy, but do leave a raw-edged seam allowance on the inside of your case. I made a French Seam to create a finished inside edge.
- After attaching the ribbon loop as described above, un-zip the zipper about half way and fold the case WRONG sides together.
- Align the raw edges of the sides and the bottom, all layers, and pin in place.
- Using a ¼" seam allowance, stitch down both sides and across the bottom, pivoting at the corners.
- Trim the seam allowance back very close to your stitching – to about 1/8".
- Turn wrong side out through the zippered opening.You'll need to carefully poke out the bottom corners with a blunt tool, like a large knitting needle or a chopstick, but don't be rough or you'll poke right through the seam.
- Using a 3/8" seam allowance, stitch AGAIN down both sides and across the bottom, pivoting at each bottom corner and being careful to start and finish as close as possible to the head and tail of your zipper.
- Turn the case right side out again through the zippered opening. Poke out those bottom corners again... carefully. And you have a lovely French seam for a clean inside finish.
Zipper pull and carabiner
- Clip the carabiner onto the ribbon loop.
- Find your length of waxed cord.
- Cut one end at a diagonal to make it thin enough to thread through the zipper pull.
- Once through the pull, thread a bead on each end and make a knot on each side of each bead to hold them in place. Tie both ends in a knot against the zipper pull to secure.

Walters matched her career-high with eight blocks Friday against Columbia (Gil Talbot).
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – Taylor Docter and Erin Cooney recorded 11 kills apiece as the Harvard women's volleyball team fell to Columbia Friday night, 3-1, at the Malkin Athletic Center. The Lions took the match by set scores of 27-25, 19-25, 25-18 and 28-26.
Docter added 13 digs for her 11th double-double of the year while Cooney chipped in five blocks. Docter's 11 kills pushed her past assistant coach Suzie Trimble '08 into eighth place in program history with 955 career kills.
Hannah Schmidt registered her eighth double-double with 23 assists and 11 digs as Beth Kinsella dished out 25 helpers. Harvard (8-14, 5-6 Ivy League) also received strong a performance from its middle blocking duo of Caroline Walters and Caroline Holte, as Walters recorded nine kills, eight blocks and a .368 hitting percentage with Holte contributing eight kills, five blocks and a .615 hitting percentage.
Megan Gaughn led Columbia's (11-9, 6-5 Ivy League) attack with 20 kills as Colleen Brennan recorded 57 assists.
The Lions led throughout the early stages of the first set until a 3-0 run capped by a Docter kill evened the score at 11. Harvard took its first lead off a Wallace kill, 14-13, and held a 17-15 advantage following another kill by Docter. Columbia rallied with three straight points to regain the lead and held off the Crimson down the stretch for the 27-25 win.
Harvard was forced to play from behind again in the second set as Columbia opened a 14-10 margin. A 5-1 spurt by the Crimson evened the frame at 15 before a block by Walters and Docter finally put Harvard back on top, 20-19. Another block by Walters and Cooney moved the score to 21-19 as Harvard scored the final seven points of the frame to earn the 25-19 victory.
The teams found themselves tied at 15 midway through the third frame, but a 4-1 stretch allowed the Lions to open a 19-16 advantage en route to the 25-18 win. The fourth stanza was much closer as the squads traded the lead seven times and found themselves tied 16 times. With Columbia on top 24-22, Harvard rallied to tie the score three times when facing set point but the Lions eventually prevailed, taking the set and match, 28-26.
Harvard will return to the court tomorrow as it hosts Cornell at 5 p.m. on Senior Day.
