the Rihanna blanket
You know that crochet has gone interstellar when Rihanna's got a granny square blanket in one of her videos. I mean who cares that RiRi is dancing around with her boobs out or that Drake is trying his best not to giggle at her bum waggling in his direction, there's a crocheted blanket on display, a really cool one too, crochet has made it my friends.
The video is the second video for her latest single "work" (they run one after the other so you can't miss it) and it is frigging awesome (the video and the blanket). So shut the front door, get out your crochet hook and make like Rihanna.
Of course I saw it and immediately had to make one, it was either that or her string dress from the first video! Do you do this too? Screenshot from videos, movies and television shows that have crochet in them? I've got screenshots from Mad Men, Breaking Bad and a whole ton of other cool shows because only the best telly has crochet blankets on set.
The best bit about this one is the wild colour scheme. It's so refreshing to use colours that I normally wouldn't (neons and black anyone?). To be honest it is a little bit difficult to make out the exact colours in the video because there is a pink tint that distorts everything but I'm pretty sure it's made up of pinks, yellows, oranges and black with a white overall border.
The design of Rihanna's blanket is a fairly simple granny square, the original and the best, with a lovely feature of having two rounds of each colour instead of the usual one. The pattern tutorial is below and includes a how-to for joining your granny squares as you go - my favourite way to make up a blanket and super quick too. What are you waiting for then, video below, happy crocheting YO!
Happy crocheting YO! (especially if you are Rihanna)

Integrative Structural & Chemical Biology
+33 (0)126.96.36.199.31
Yves Collette (INSERM) - Xavier Morelli (CNRS)
Drug discovery is an inherently inefficient process, particularly in oncology. The difficulty in matching the immense and complex chemical world with a desired physiological effect is illustrated by limitations such as harmful side effects and drug resistance, which defy the most powerful chemotherapeutics available. Novel therapeutic targets and new ways to identify, to characterize and to develop anti-cancer drugs are needed. Most drug discovery efforts by pharmaceutical companies concern the development and/or expansion of their pre-clinical and clinical pipeline primarily targeting G protein-coupled receptors, nuclear receptors, ion channels and the active sites of enzymes (eg kinases). Although this strategy is understandable for historical reasons and risk management, inhibitors of protein-protein interaction represents an alternative and almost unexplored reservoir for drug development in oncology. Thus, targeting protein-protein interaction interfaces appears a valuable and promising strategy, which is further underscored by an expected reduced occurrence of resistance that might arise due to mutations in the protein-protein interface. In this context, our objectives are to identify, to understand, to validate and to target protein-protein interaction interfaces critically involved in tumor cell signaling, with the specific purpose of facilitating the transfer of therapeutic and pharmacological targets into preclinical and clinical development programs in oncology.

Distance from Lamont, KS to Ocean View, HI
Driving distance between Lamont, KS and Ocean View, HI is 0 miles (or 0 kilometers). If you drove an average car (using about 3.6 gallons of gas per mile), the gas would cost you around $, since you would need about gallons of fuel.
Leaving from Lamont, KS you would reach Ocean View, HI in about 0 seconds if you keep an average speed of miles per hour, assuming you don't make any breaks or get stuck in traffic.

Tolerance; or, You Ignorant Bigot/
If God were to destroy Sodom today, all He'd have to do is plant a huge EMP and take out the Internet.
Inside of the Internet is where the people live who toe the line between absurdity and an elaborate joke so well that it's often difficult to discern which side of that fence they fall on.
I'll give you an example, since you obviously needed one.
If you don't know a lot about the website Tumblr, it's probably best that you remain in your well-lighted utopia. I was trying to figure out a clever way to describe Tumblr for those who don't know what it is, but decided to just paste a few Urban Dictionary definitions instead.
You get the picture.
Here's how it works. Everyone on Tumblr has a blog--a space where they can post rants or photos or re-post trinkets that other people have said with the intention of agreeing or disagreeing, depending on what the issue at hand is. The posts are generally short and witty, and are usually hashtagged so that people can search for whatever topic they're searching for.
While it used to be a place where people simply shared what was on their mind, in the vein of Livejournal or Myspace statuses, Tumblr has become a place of would-be social justice advocates. In fact, a significant portion of Tumblr's time is now spent accepting people no matter who they are, what they're into, or whatever kind of lifestyle they desire to live.
It prides itself on being a place where you can speak your mind without judgment or ridicule or whatever, so it creates a really interesting (and by interesting I mean desperately sad) culture wherein all of its adherents become increasingly detached from the real world and lost inside of themselves.
Because extremes make for really good, interesting examples, I will illustrate this point with an example that is particularly bizarre. I wonder if there is something off with this widespread-acceptance policy, considering this strange development?
These are screenshots from actual Tumblr posts.
Let me paraphrase this for you: in the land of Tumblr, you are Autistic as long as you feel like you're autistic and self-identify as such.
The ultimate, absurd end of a culture of infinite tolerance and unbridled narcissism is the trivialization of things like Autism--which affects actual people in my actual, real, non-Tumblr life. Some of these people even posted a quiz to determine how "autistic" you are in an effort to self-diagnose it. It churns the stomach, frankly.
So what happens is these people take the thing by which they self-identify and then define themselves by it. And it gets a whole lot more absurd than that. Let's take a look at a few of the Tumblr bios that are floating around out there.
(Let me preface this by saying that the examples I am posting here are not, to the best of my knowledge, parody accounts--though those do, and should, exist. Also, translations of some of the terminology used in these bios are in the captions. I had to look some of them up, too.)
Keep in mind that the content of the blogs I referenced here was almost exclusively related to the types of things by which they identified themselves in their short introductions. They are unafraid to shine a light on any corner-crouching part of their personality and sexual proclivity and behavioral disorder and whatever else because they know that Tumblr is a place for you to be accepted no matter what you believe.
Unless, of course, you are a Christian. Or a person who believes in some degree of morality.
This person I am about to quote is warning another person about speaking out about things that he believes in (particularly religion) because "there are people on here who might not agree with you" and he "might get bashed." Bashed, of course, meaning "said mean things about," not "bashed over the head with a heavy object":
Or here's one from what I'm assuming is one of the tolerant, open-minded people making fun of the "intolerant" or "closed-minded" people or something. I'm losing track:
The last one I'll give (I like things in groups of three, okay?) says that Tolerance is not enough; they need more:
The Problem With Tolerance
Let's first get something straight. Tolerance is not encouragement. To tolerate something is, by definition, to allow it to continue without your interference. In fact, in most cases, tolerance is used to describe your actions towards something that you dislike--something that you are allowing to continue DESPITE your dislike for it.
For instance:
I tolerate mornings without coffee because I know it will make the next morning even more beautiful.
I tolerate running because I know it helps me stop being unhealthy.
I tolerate The Bachelor because my wife and her family get together on Monday nights to watch it, and I enjoy spending time with them.
This is tolerance. Sure, I'm not super pumped for any of it, but I'm certainly not actively trying to make it stop (though if I were president, The Bachelor would be the first thing to go).
But what has happened to this word is that, like anything that enters the non-real world of Tumblr, it has been hijacked, particularly by leftist media. For example: if I do not believe that biblical marriage can consist of a homosexual union, I am being intolerant.
This is, of course, absurd. I have never barged my way into a homosexual wedding and torched it to the ground, held them at gunpoint and forced them to quit, or voted against homosexual couples getting the same tax breaks and legal recognition that I have because of my wife. I'd even go so far as to say if one of my gay friends wanted to invite me to his wedding, I'd probably go. I've made my position on the issue clear, but I can't imagine that alienating the people themselves would do any good. This is the very definition of tolerant. Toleration has nothing to do with how I feel towards the issue of homosexuality at large (which is a post for another day), it has entirely to do with what I allow to continue uninhibited.
What somebody calling for reform in any of the political hot-button issues (gay marriage, abortion, pedophilia, whatever) is really looking for is not tolerance, as Twitter would have us believe, but exactly what the last Tumblr screengrab I posted above is looking for: acceptance.
The logic goes like this:
I feel a certain way.
I cannot deny that I feel this certain way.
"The way I feel" and "The way I should be" are the same thing.
Therefore, I am how I should be.
Therefore again, you should accept me as I am because I am how I should be.
I'll return to this.
On Bigotry
Frequently paired with its cousin "intolerance" is the also-misused word Bigot. Here. I'll copy out a definition for you and source it so that you can see that I'm not just yanking chains.
: a person who strongly and unfairly dislikes other people, ideas, etc. : a bigoted person; especially : a person who hates or refuses to accept the members of a particular group (such as a racial or religious group) [source]
Let's talk about this.
A bigot is somebody who strongly dislikes other people or ideas, particularly by refusing to accept the members of a particular group. It cannot simply be strong dislike, though; it must be unfair dislike, also.
Like, for instance, when people post open, violent threats against somebody who thinks your lifestyle isn't okay.
Or when they think that wishing suicide on toddlers is the warranted response for not liking somebody's political views.
Bigotry, it seems, works in almost the opposite way that most claim that it does. If I say that, based upon my particular religious beliefs, a certain action or behavior is not one that should be undertaken, I am not a bigot; I have simply used a methodology to arrive at a conclusion about how one should live, and it doesn't happen to gel with another person's. If, however, I respond to someone saying such a thing about my lifestyle with a response resembling "You are an ass-clown; go shoot yourself" or "I hope his children run away or kill themselves," I'm probably a bigot: a stubbornly planted, unfairly incensed, and strongly, irrationally angry opponent of the ideology which dares to defy my lifestyle.
On Lifestyle
Ah, I said it. Lifestyle: the pattern of behavior which defines the way somebody lives. It is the pinnacle of personal liberty: what you do with the bald-eagle-given-freedom we celebrate here in the land of the free. In 21st century America, we worship the almighty lifestyle. I don't think that I have to do very much explaining of that statement right here.
I won't even refute it; it's already been refuted better than I ever could in one of the finest (and funniest) films ever made.
In The Emperor's New Groove, Kuzco is a young, narcissistic, egocentric, cruel, selfish emperor who runs the kingdom in whatever way will bring him the most pleasure, no matter whom he hurts (Kuzcotopia! Oh yeah). During the opening number--which is his theme song--he is in the middle of dancing when he bumps into an old man who happened to be standing in his way. Kuzco pouts: "He threw off my groove!", a burly, painted bodyguard announces to the poor old man, "I'm sorry... but you've thrown off the emperor's groove," and the old man is promptly tossed out the window.
Pacha stumbles across this man later and the following conversation ensues:
Pacha: What happened?
Old Man: Well, I threw off the Emperor's groove.
Pacha: What?
Old Man: His groove! The rhythm in which he lives his life. His pattern of behavior. I threw it off. And the Emperor had me thrown out the window.
Pacha: Oh, really? I'm supposed to see him today.
Old Man: Don't throw off his groove!
Pacha: Oh, okay.
Old Man: Bewaaare, the grooove.
Pacha: Hey, are you gonna be all right?
Old Man: Grooove...
Pacha, of course, meets Kuzco (who gets turned into a llama. Don't ask questions; just accept it), endures a series of hijinks, and then there's the fun resolution at the end where Kuzco realizes he's been a bit of an idiot by forcing everybody to accept his lifestyle.
Notice the thread and the surprisingly conservative (small-c, as opposed to Conservative, like the political party) message that The Emperor's New Groove is arguing here. Kuzco begins as a person, lives according to his groove, realizes that his groove sucks, and gets a new groove. Hence, the title.
I'll rephrase it. At the beginning, Kuzco was yelling for everyone to "accept my lifestyle; I was born an emperor, I feel like an emperor, and so you should allow me to do all of the emperor things that I feel like doing!" And at the end, his tune was a little bit different: "I acknowledge that my emperor ways were probably not okay, and I have changed my course instead of insisting that you bend to mine."
On Christianity
I know that it seems like I'm picking especially hard on sexuality in this essay (Even if it is subliminally; I promise that I've tried to keep things as broad as I can; it's simply easier to pick a specific and roll with it in my head), but it is simply the easiest lifestyle choice offered today to examine. It seems as though every fourth conversation is about sexuality--accept this, ban that, legislate him, prohibit her--so it was simply the low-hanging fruit. The dangling carrot. But it's also the easiest to see. The sexuality discussion is not about someone's proclivities--to one degree or another, it's something that we cannot help--it is about someone's behaviors.
And there is nobody more infamous for calling out perceived sexual misconduct than Christians. It's a point that almost always comes up in the LGBT conversation. After all, "God hates fags", right?
Let me try to be a mediator here. In the great sexuality debate, most Christians come across as standing on their high ground, shouting at the homosexual sinner to change his ways or burn in hell forever. Frankly, they often say just that. And what the person being yelled at hears is "I'm better than you; my God loves me better than you; I am a better person than you." They hear what they perceive as hate from somebody whose God is called love.
It is a nigh-irreconcilable difference, is it not? Sure, there are some aberrant theologies attempting to use sly tricks and sleights of hand to make it seem as though Scripture does not even address the issue of homosexuality at all, or rather only addresses some faulty expression of homosexuality or somesuch twist. But even that misses the point.
Here's the point of Christianity: in this example, both the person being shouted at and the person shouting are wrong. So is the one standing on the sideline not shouting. So is the Hindu. So is the Muslim. So is the Sunday Christian. So is the devout disciple of Christ. We're wrong. We're innately, unarguably backwards by nature. Whether you're born straight or gay or pansexual or asexual or a boy or a girl or a white person or a black person or a technophobe or a gospel singer, you are desperately, hopelessly lost and beyond the hope of this world's ability to save you. No matter what groove you were born with, you need a new one, whether that groove you have innately is funky or flat-out boring.
The "God is love" bit means this: even though we're all shades of jacked up, even though our innards are twisted and our minds are backwards, the Creator has not abandoned His creation; rather, He gave of Himself to make us whole again--and we can only be whole again when we shoulder the burden of the cross we were born with and, once we realize we don't even have the strength to lift ourselves onto it, drop it at the feet of the One who could.
Our crosses come in all kinds of shapes. They are bitter, selfish, gay, football-worshiping, food-engorging, stingy, crosses. They all put something ahead of a relationship with the One who gave them shoulders to even lift it in the first place. What the Christian who is shouting should be saying is not, "turn or burn, fag," it's "I was the chief of sinners, the most depraved of my species, a child of wrath engorging myself in the desires of my mind and my body, and it all weighed me down so much that I couldn't even throw it on a piece of wood to kill it. How fortunate for me that my death was died for me, then. If you'd like the burden of your sin, which pales in comparison to mine, to be lifted as well, I'd love to help you figure out how to do that."
I began this talking about self-identity (remember, on the internet, as long as you identify as Autistic, you are. Ugh, sorry for remind you about that), so I'll end it that way, too. It seems that as we have grown to understand the way that we tick, we learn more and more about the ways that we are. I cannot help but dislike watching sports, no matter how many sports I watch. I cannot help but dislike the idea of ketchup squirted, globbed, into my mouth, no matter how much ketchup you pour into it. So naturally, I use these things as part of how I am identified: I'm a dude who doesn't like watching football very much and would prefer to avoid ketchup.
But that's not who I am. Who I am is a desperately sick person who generally sucks most of the time. I'm sometimes short-fused, often selfish, frequently bitter, generally cynical, prone to wander and wallow and sulk, and quick to praise myself when I'm none of these things. And I happen to have found a way out of such a rapid descent into either crushing destruction or destructive haughtiness: and it is only by grace, not at all by anything I can do. No matter what move I make towards the outstretched, bored Hand, it was reaching out to me first. It would be irresponsible to not call a spade a spade of course, but it is pointless if I don't first recognize it in myself. We should be intolerant of sin and sinful behavior--but I have to ensure that before I can describe the sin of somebody else, my own sin must be dealt with. I cannot have it wriggling around on my back and boring its way into my head while I'm trying to give you directions.
Tolerance is a gospel primarily of self-worship, sure, but so is self-righteousness. It is crucial that my believing friends not try to expect unbelievers to behave like believers, but if they are not living in such a way that the absolute unbearable lightness of their burden is not supernatural and overwhelmingly apparent, it's probably not their space to point sinners towards the pit of flames. They should, instead, be so fixedly marching towards the Savior who takes their burdens as though they were His own that all who look at them can't help but follow suit.

Reversing course after years of bans, the Fresno City Council voted Thursday to allow medical cannabis dispensaries and other state-licensed businesses in the city. The decision came after after a lively public hearing that lasted more than two hours. The original proposal by Council President Clint Olivier and Council Members Oliver Baines III and Paul Caprioglio called for medical-only dispensaries, but would have allowed other licensees to serve both the medical and adult-use markets.

City Council will hear 'recreational' cannabis ban
The Fresno City Council will hold a public hearing on a draft ordinance to prohibit adult-use or "recreational" cannabis businesses. The ordinance was prepared after a 4-3 council vote to ban dispensaries and other business types made legal by Proposition 64, the Adult Use of Marijuana Act. Although the city has portrayed the proposed ban as only addressing "recreational" businesses, but it comes on top of the city's existing ban on medical cannabis dispensaries. Medical [read more …]
City set to exempt 6 plants from cultivation ban
UPDATE: On June 22, the City Council voted to a) modify its existing cultivation ban, and b) draft a new ban on adult-use cannabis businesses. The cultivation ordinance came up for final approval July 20 but failed to pass by majority vote. It will come up for another vote as consent agenda item 1-M. Read the draft ordinance here: https://fresno.legistar.com/LegislationDetail.aspx?ID=3107540&GUID=24FBE0CF-29DF-426A-A370-B3F282BF44E7 Any member of the public may request a consent agenda item be pulled for separate [read more …]

Mother Of All Bans set for June 22 hearing
The Fresno City Council will hold a public hearing to discuss a proposal to ban all adult-use cannabis activities in the city. Medical marijuana cultivation and medical dispensaries have been banned for several years. This meeting is a watershed moment for Fresno and every Prop. 215 patient living here. Around the state, cities and counties are working hard to implement regulations for commercial cannabis activities, which are authorized under the Medical Cannabis Regulation and Safety [read more …]
Faced with opposition from Prop. 215 patients, the Fresno City Council voted down a cannabis cultivation ordinance to allow limited indoor growing. Thursday's 4-3 vote represented an about-face from the March 26 hearing, where the council voted 5-2 to approve the ordinance. The measure would have allowed patients to grow up to four plants indoors after securing a "special permit" from the city. Under Fresno Ordinance 2014-20, all growing is prohibited.

You have received many supportive posts so far, but I wanted to add mine to the list. I have taken time off, not once, but twice. The first time was midway through my B.S. when I woke up and suddenly realized I hated engineering. That was a five-year leave with a couple very good jobs in industry. The second was after my B.S. degrees were completed. I was in debt up to my butt (non-school related expenses, I had a scholarship, thank God) and I needed to work to pay off my car and other stuff before I went back onto a grad student austerity budget. Surprisingly, my grad school university allowed me to take a one year admission deferral, and I used it to work for a technical writing and auditing firm. The experience was invaluable. Writing my papers and my dissertation is not near as daunting as it would have been without the experience. I started my graduate education at 30 yrs. old, and I am not the youngest in my class, either. So, my motivations were certainly less noble than yours, and I have managed quite nicely, and, incidently was heavily recruited by both universities and labs, and managed to net an NSF Graduate Research Fellowship. Go for it. The time off is well worth the delay, and as a general rule, I think people come back calmer and more focused. Good Luck, Robbin :)

I've had to go by means of the dealership just before and even although I knew I was getting ripped off, there was absolutely nothing I could do about it simply because they have been the only ones who could get the components to fix my car.

Emerson is exactly where technology and engineering come collectively to create solutions for the advantage of our consumers, driven without compromise for a planet in action. Trace more than your design and style with dimensional fabric paint or 3D craft paint from the craft or sewing shop and cure it without having heat according to the manufacturer's directions. Maintain your hours per C/P Repair Order (RO) at a minimum of 2.5" says Don Reed, CEO of DealerPro Coaching Options. I was a tiny worried because I know there are a lot of aftermarket parts out there, and I would not be able to tell the distinction if I had been sent the incorrect point. Regardless of whether to personal yourself, or give as a present to someone you adore, automotive fine art exhibits your refined taste and appreciation for specialty automobiles and the fine artists that painted them.

Calgary/Winnipeg, 10 December 2012: Today marks the first day of operation for the newly completed West LRT line in Calgary. While the event will be met with fanfare, the cost of the project is staggering. The total construction cost of the West LRT is $1.5 billion. Daily ridership is projected to be 35,000. Most of these riders will be existing transit users, however. The total cost of $42,857 per rider would have made it cheaper to buy each rider a new mid-range automobile. According to Frontier Centre policy analyst Steve Lafleur, the $195 million per kilometre ($313.5 million per mile) is likely the most expensive LRT line ever constructed in North America.
In a 2011 study The 30th Anniversary of the C-Train: A Critical Analysis of Calgary's Light Rail System, Lafleur noted that the initial estimate for the project was $700 million. At the time of writing the study, the estimate had increased to $1 billion. The final price tag was more than twice the initial estimate, and 50 percent more than the estimate when construction began. While this is a higher than usual cost overrun, urban rail projects typically cost much more than initial estimates. A widely cited 2007 study by Bent Flyvbjerg in the journal Transportation Planning and Technology found that the average cost overrun for urban rail projects in North America is 35.8 percent. Moreover, average ridership was 60 percent lower than projected for the North American urban rail projects analyzed.
Though the cost escalation for the West LRT was unusually high, it is precisely what the literature predicted. Calgarians agreed to a $700 million project, a price that was never remotely probable. The West LRT should serve as a reminder to citizens that rail projects are rarely as cheap as advertised. The West LRT is another case of provincial grants funding lavish, highly visible projects instead of providing pragmatic, affordable, and effective transportation solutions for Calgary.

Abstract Biofuel production using microalgae is believed to have the advantage of continuous year-round production over crop plants, which have strong seasonality. However, actual year-round production of microalgal lipids using outdoor mass cultivation has rarely been demonstrated. In our previous study, it was demonstrated that the oleaginous diatom, Fistulifera solaris, was culturable in outdoor bioreactors from spring to autumn, whereas biomass and lipid production in winter failed because F. solaris did not grow below 15 °C. Therefore, another candidate strain that is culturable in winter is required. In this study, a cold-tolerant diatom, Mayamaea sp. JPCC CTDA0820, was selected as a promising candidate for biofuel production in winter. Laboratory-scale characterization revealed that this diatom was culturable at temperatures as low as 10 °C. Subsequently, F. solaris April–October and Mayamaea sp. JPCC CTDA0820 November–March were cultured in outdoor open-pond bioreactors, wherein year-round production of diatom lipids was successfully demonstrated. The maximal values of areal productivities of biomass and lipids reached to 9.79 and 1.80 g-m2 day for F. solaris, and 8.62 and 0.92 g-m2 day for Mayamaea sp. JPCC CTDA0820, respectively. With the combined use of these two diatom species, stable year-round production of microalgal lipids became possible. View Full-Text

Only 5 months after her jazzy and soulful debut album Stone Café, Leah Dou has made her Los Angeles debut last week at The Sayers Club in Hollywood. Leah, daughter of famous Chinese musicians Dou Wei and Faye Wong, has started her career on a very strong note. Singing primarily in English, Leah has managed to carve out a distinct style separate from both of her parents.
Leah's recorded music up until now has been primarily downbeat jazz-influenced pop. Her music could play in any coffee shop in the U.S. and fit right in. The Chinese musician's two biggest hits from Leah's previous album highlight her range and capability as a vocalist and songwriter. Both of the pop track are layered with depth. Leah has announced her sophomore release for later in 2017.
Her performance at the Sayers Club last Wednesday to a small cozy crowd gives hope that she is already working towards refining and innovating her sound. Watching Leah's electric performance revealed why she's been gaining so much traction lately. Her performance was intimate and personal, her clothing looked like something she picked out herself, and her band played casually. It seemed like nobody was trying too hard, but in a god way. In this way, Leah Dou's aesthetic choices allowed for her singing and songwriting to make an even greater impression. Her soulful, bluesy style created a relaxing yet upbeat mood. Leah comes across as an artist with untapped emotional depth, and I can't wait to see what she does with it.

STATUS: Retired / member of President Obama's 2014 Olympic Delegation / member of President's Council for Fitness, Health and Nutrition - May 2014 / passed Illinois Bar - October 2014
Caitlin's Olympic journey began in figure skates. The only hockey player in her immediate family, Caitlin became acquainted with the ice when her mother Barbara, a formerly Nationally ranked figure skater from Ohio, brought her to learn to skate lessons at the Yale University rink. Though she quickly moved to the head of the class, her progress stopped short one afternoon when the Yale women's hockey team had a game against Dartmouth College immediately after her lesson. One glance at girls like her in hockey gear and Caitlin was sold. The next morning she had her mother sign her up for in-house hockey, and she never looked back. She played on a boys hockey team through her freshman year of high school for Yale Youth Hockey and joined her first girls team, The Southern CT Stars in the fall of 1998. Though the Stars had never won a State Title, they won the State, Regional and National Championships in 1999, the last spurred on by Caitlin's game-winning goal on a breakaway in the third period.
She continued to play with the Stars while at The Hotchkiss School, and won numerous All-New England awards. From Hotchkiss she went on to Harvard University where she shared the ice with current U.S. National teammates Angela Ruggiero and Julie Chu. Her senior year Caitlin captained the Crimson to a 32-2 record, winning the Beanpot, Ivy League, ECAC Regular Season and ECAC Tournament titles, the last, again sealed by her game winning goal in sudden death overtime. She was named an NCAA All-American as well as Academic All-American, a testament to her abilities both on and off the ice. In addition, she was awarded the Radcliffe Prize as Harvard's Top Female Athlete of the class of 2008. In four years, she competed in 4 NCAA tournaments including 3 trips to the Frozen Four and graduated 14th on the Harvard Women's Hockey all time scoring charts, a significant accomplishment for a defenseman.
A member of the US Women's Hockey Team since 2005, Caitlin has contributed both offensively and defensively for the squad. She is a two-time world champion, leading the tournament in defensive scoring both times. In 2008, she scored the go-ahead goal in the must-win semi-final against Canada, which spring-boarded the USA to its second World Championship. Following her return home, she awarded the Bob Allen award given by USA Hockey as the top American-born Player of the Year.
The next year in 2009, she scored two goals in the Gold Medal game, the first coming 21 seconds into the first period, the fastest goal scored in the history of IIHF World Championship game. Her second goal in the third period solidified the first back-to-back World Championships for the US Women's National Team. She was awarded the Player of the Game award for her efforts. Most recently she was received the media award as the Top Defenseman of the Hockey Canada Cup, the pre-Olympic test event held in Vancouver in August. Team USA won the Gold Medal at this event.
With all this momentum in her favor, Caitlin was primed for Olympic glory. Her dream is to win a Gold Medal for her country and return a hero and model stateswoman, continuing her extensive work in community service. Sadly, the United States fell short in the Gold medal match 2-0 to Canada, thus coming home with a Silver.
She has been a Hockey ambassador to the US Olympic Committee's "Team for Tomorrow" program, helping to lead the charge in spreading the Olympic spirit through volunteerism. She has her own annual breast cancer fundraiser that has raised over $16,000 for research and awareness to date.
Caitlin has been studying law at Boston College and graduated in May of 2014. During the first two years at BC, Caitlin balanced her law studies while playing for USA Hockey and the (CWHL) Canadian Women's Hockey League's Boston Blades. During the 2012-13 school year, Caitlin took what would have been her final year of law school off recovering from post concussion syndrome after getting injured just prior to the 2012 World Championship while playing for Boston.
Caitlin received a clean bill of health (after treatment from the Carrick Institute in Atlanta, GA) and played in the CWHL but at the end of the season, she retired from her hockey career in the Spring of 2013 after winning the CWHL Clarkson Cup in which she was the Captain of the Boston Blades.
Today, she is a member of the Board of Directors for CWHL as their American representative and in the Summer of 2014 she took the Illinois Bar Exam and was notified of her passing the bar October 1, 2014.
Caitlin today works as a law clerk to the US Federal Bankruptcy Court in Chicago, IL.
December 17, 2013, Caitlin was named as a diplomat representing the United States at the Closing Ceremonies of the 2014 Olympic Winter Games in Sochi by the White House. Due to failing health of Opening Ceremonies delegate, Billie Jean King's mother, Caitlin and Billie Jean swapped roles and Caitlin participated in the Opening Ceremonies instead.
The official delegation will attend athletic events, meet with U.S. athletes, and attend the Opening Ceremony.

FIFA's introduction of video assistant referees (VAR) to the 2018 World Cup has, well, it's had its moments.
Some want it to go die in a fire. Others think it's been good, and just needs a few tweaks to the rules, and more confidence from the referees, to make it great.
But there's one simple tweak (no, really) that would solve its biggest problems - and bring an end to players spending half their lifetime arguing with referees.
Give the players some control.
Give the players a referral system.
Sports like tennis, cricket and the NFL include video review systems with just such a rule system. They didn't always start with a perfect track record but, as their rules were improved, what made them feel fair and equitable was player referrals.
If you're out of the loop, these referral systems give a team a set number of times when they can challenge a decision and have the video review team overturn a decision if it was incorrect.
Example. Let's say you have two referrals. Correct? The decision gets changed and you keep two referrals - you were right, after all. Wrong? You lose that referral. Wrong twice, you have no more referrals to work with.
In football, arguing with the referee somehow became an essential part of on field performance for many players.
They like nothing more than standing as close as possible and shouting in faces, demanding that they couldn't possibly have fouled someone, or that someone was definitely offside, or whatever other grievance they may feel.
It's never been a strategy to getting a decision overturned, of course. It's just a nasty process to try and intimidate and influence future decisions. You need a thick skin to be a referee out there.
With the VAR under its introductory system, one of the biggest complaints has been over the times a referee has opted to not even check with the video assistants. If a team felt aggrieved, why not check the situation?
But no one really wants football stopping constantly to go back to the video review. You want the game to flow, and to have referees make decisions on the field with confidence as much as possible.
A team referral system puts control into the hands of a captain. If a player is certain he was truly fouled, or did not foul, a captain can signal for a review to ask VAR to check what really happened.
This makes football better in two incredible ways.
One, a team must put up or shut up. Are you sure that call was wrong? Is it so critical it could cost you the match? Challenge the call or get on with the game.
Two, a player can't spend forever diving and screaming they were unjustly impeded anymore. Really? If it actually happened, you can call for a review. Oh, you're faking it? You just wasted your team's precious referrals.
A team needs to know not to waste a referral on just any old frivolous challenge. No one wants to run out of referrals and then have a truly egregious error knock them out of a tournament.
And in the midst of this, a referee can still call for a VAR anytime they want to check something they weren't entirely sure about.
Everyone, players and officials, get some control and, therefore, greater agency over the flow of the game and the fairness of the decisions made.
No, none of this stops weird errors of judgment from occurring in the VAR booth once a referral takes place. Cricket has faced this situation a number of times since its referral system was introduced.
But these errors can eventually become an exception, and rules can be adjusted over time to ensure these video assistants are making decisions as fairly and accurately as possible.
It has not been perfect. But granting some control of the VAR system to the players on the field should be a no brainer.
It would be a leap toward the ideal scenario, where everyone feels confident that the decisions being made are happening with all eyes wide open.

January - March 2013 Season
The English Premiere
The Finborough Theatre is sad to report that on Sunday 13 January, actor David Carlyle, who plays the leading role of James in the Finborough Theatre's production of Somersaults by Iain Finlay Macleod was rushed to hospital with viral meningitis. All the performances for the week commencing Monday 14 January were cancelled, but it is sadly now clear that, for the first time in his career and despite winning rave reviews for his performance, David has had to withdraw from the production.
However, we are happy to announce that the production will resume for its final week on Tuesday 22 January 2013 at 7.30pm. From Tuesday, the role of James will be played by Simon Harrison who has taken over the role at the last minute, while Cary Crankson joins the company to play the role of Mark.

"If you were to go home tonight and the language that your mother spoke, the language whose sound you heard first when you came into this world, that ordered the world for you, if that language was dying. How would you feel? If all of it was obliterated. If it was all silence…"
James is a successful entrepreneur living the metropolitan life with a beautiful wife and a swanky London flat. But when the creditors move in and his wife moves out, James suddenly finds he's left with nothing. Nothing but words.
James' father is dying – his last connection to his childhood and the language of his birth, Scots Gaelic. With this link gone, James fears he will simply cease to exist. As the words start to slip away, he journeys home to confront his past and search for his true identity – as he desperately struggles to remember the language of his birth and the word for 'somersault'.
A stunning new play exploring the role of language and how it defines who we are by the UK's leading Scots Gaelic playwright Iain Finlay Macleod. Somersaults was originally produced by the National Theatre of Scotland, premiering at the Traverse Theatre, Edinburgh in 2011, directed by former National Theatre of Scotland Artistic Director Vicky Featherstone.
Somersaults in performed in English with some Gaelic sequences.
Playwright Iain Finlay Macleod made his English theatre debut at the Finborough Theatre in 2009 with I Was A Beautiful Day in a production which subsequently transferred to the Tron Theatre, Glasgow. His play Atman was also produced at the Finborough Theatre in 2011 starring Lucy Griffiths, following a staged reading as part of the Finborough Theatre'sVibrant – A Festival of Finborough Playwrights with Jasper Britton and Alan Cox. Iain Finlay has written many works for theatre, radio, film and television. Writing in both English and his native Scots Gaelic, Iain has also directed numerous documentaries, and was series director of the BAFTA-winning show TACSI, which won Best Arts Series in the Scottish BAFTA's and Best Entertainment Programme at the Celtic Film and Television Festival. Television includes Machair which won a Writers' Guild Award for Best Foreign Language Serial Drama. His work for theatre includes Somersaults (National Theatre of Scotland), St Kilda - The Opera; a multi-discipline work performed simultaneously in five countries, The Pearlfisher, Broke, Homers and Alexander Salamander (Traverse Theatre), Salvage (Tosg Theatre Company). His work for BBC Radio 4 includes Mr Anwar's Farewell to Stornoway, The Watergaw, The Gold Digger and an adaptation of Angela Carter's The Kitchen Child. Other radio includes Frozen and an adaptation of The Pearlfisher for BBC Radio Scotland. His film work includes Seachd:The Inaccessible Pinnacle. He is also the author of several novels.

"One thread of the Finborough Theatre's enterprising programming is to stage plays that highlight the languages other than English in the UK. Coming up in February is a play staged in Welsh (Saer Doliau), with English surtitles, and here, in Somersaults, the focus is on Scottish Gaelic...a playful, poignant piece by Iain Finlay Macleod, first staged by the National Theatre of Scotland, that considers identity and the part language plays in defining who we are." Sarah Hemming, Financial Times
"Somersaults showcases compelling theatrical ideas and performances" Imogen Sarre Blogspot"Macleod passionately puts the case for the preservation of minority languages; at the same time, he suggests that Scottish Gaelic speakers lack the forcefulness of their Celtic counterparts in Wales, and that millions are spent making Gaelic TV programmes that few people watch" Michael Billington, The Guardian
"Played with exquisite realism by David Carlyle" Imogen Sarre Blogspot"The scenes between James and his father are immensely moving, beautifully handled here – in a mix of English and Gaelic – by Tom Marshall as the father and David Carlyle as James." Sarah Hemming, Financial Times
"The Finborough is famed for quietly defying convention, and doing it beautifully. As such, Russell Bolam's production of Iain Finlay Macleod's play Somersaults feels typical of this lovely leading Fringe theatre."

Sanborn maps are special maps produced to assist insurance companies in determining risk and setting rates. The maps show the location, occupancy, and construction of commercial buildings within a town.
Reading the maps generally require some mastery of the key. For an example the Bank Building is 2 story with a composition roof with a 12 inch fire wall. Each interior floor has a 12 foot ceiling and the building is 26 foot wide (see 1926 map).
