Comfortable Fall OutfitMonday, November 21, 2016
This seems to be my uniform at the moment. I have been having a really hard time actually trying hard to look cute lately, because I have so much going on and it's also cold.

Your executive and clinical teams are excellent brand ambassadors, but getting them involved when developing content can be a challenge. Whether you need a President's Message for your annual report or a physician's quote for an e-newsletter, consider these tips the next time you're securing content from a member of your leadership team.
Be mindful of your timing. Speak with the leader in person or by phone, if possible. Raise the topic of the upcoming marketing piece and your interest in involving him or her in the content. Make sure the timing of your conversation gives ample time to fulfill the request you're about to make.
Provide helpful information. Succinctly communicate details about the who, what, where, when, how, and why. Explain the purpose of the marketing piece, the person's role, and exactly what you want. Give examples to help clarify, and specify anything that may require preparation. Set expectations for the time commitment and the deadline.
Ask nicely. After setting the stage, don't forget to actually ask. Avoid assumptions that the leader is interested and able to take on the commitment. If he or she is agreeable, list next steps in clear detail. It is helpful to clarify who will contact him or her, what to look for, and preferred method of communication.
Offer support. Confirm that the message will be used for marketing purposes coordinated by the organization—not the press; there's no need to worry about making it perfect. In fact, you should give him or her the chance to review and approve the message before it's finalized. Offer to provide a draft for convenience.
Write it yourself. If completing the project on time appears to be a challenge or you simply need it as quickly as possible, go one step further by providing written content to edit or approve at his or her convenience.
Have a backup plan. A good plan will allow you to continue moving forward even if the leader isn't able to come through. For example, if you planned to interview him or her, include a headshot and contact information in a sidebar. Instead of a President's Message, include a Mission Moment or Introduction using the draft you provided.
Not only will these tips help smooth the process, but they will set the stage if you need content from the leader again in the future.

Biggest Pet Peeves of Buffalo Sabres' National Anthem Singer Doug Allen
by Jeff Wozer, Buffalo Sports Page Humorist
Sabres anthem singer Doug Allen is a Buffalo icon. But sports humorist Jeff Wozer has some ideas about what may be bothering the pointing performer.
- He has only the organist for pre-anthem soccer warm-ups.
- The Pegula's remain cool to the idea of him dressing in drag as Kate Smith and singing God Bless America
- Lauren Hall keeps rejecting his offers to join him on the ice for an "O Canada" duet.
- Rental tuxedo shoes look lame.
- Feels being pigeon holed as "that national anthem singer" is why he has yet to receive any Las Vegas offers.
- During rehearsals the organist always arrives drunk and with Yoko Ono.
- Given the Pegula's Nashville connections it angers him to no end that they won't give his phone number to Faith Hill.
- When dining at Dave & Buster's people constantly interrupt his meals asking if he wouldn't mind singing the Star Spangled Banner before dropping quarters into restaurant's Bubble Hockey machine.
- Walking on to the ice without his national anthem set list.
- Not as fun anymore when he used to sing while crazed on smelling salts.
- During the taping of Inside the Blue & Gold segments he's always asked to work as Brian Duff's stunt-double.
- He must share his national anthem singer locker room with the Zamboni driver.

Altcoins, NEO, Holochain, Pundi X Undergo Major Corrections as Global Market Plunges
Recent gainers from the altcoin ranks underwent the biggest corrections on Thursday, as $11 billion was wiped off the global market in the space of a few hours.
The flash dip continues to edge slowly downwards at time of writing, with Bitcoin already down 7% in a fallback to the $3,800 range. Ethereum's fall was twice as severe, as ETH fell 13% back down to the $130 range.
But, as always, it's the recent winners who get slaughtered the most in a bloodbath, and that held true on Thursday too, as Holochain (HOT), NEO (NEO) and Pundi X (NPXS) all lost close to, or more than, a quarter of their market caps.
Holochain (HOT) Price
Holochain surged to 92% gains in the past two weeks alone. The HOT token value took several leaps forward from December into January, and clocked in 25% growth upon the release of the latest Weiss Cryptocurrency Ratings. That was followed soon afterward by a 31% leap fuelled by mainstream media attention regarding the upcoming token swap to Holo Fuel.
Most of that progress was wiped out Thursday morning, as HOT fell 27% in value, from a price of $0.000762 down to $0.000553. Binance remains the source of most liquidity for HOT trades, and its BTC and ETH markets account for close to 85% of the total daily volume.
NEO Price
NEO momentum built all throughout December and January, as the coin price soared past monthly highs and returned to mid-November levels in the high $9 range.
When the dip struck, NEO was hit for around 16% of its market value, falling from a coin price of $9.77 down to $8.17. Another 10% fall would wipe out gains going all the way back to December 22nd.
Unlike Holo, NEO was primarily traded against USDT, as over 40% of the $187 million daily volume came from Tether markets.
Pundi X (NPXS) Price
How rosy it all looked for Pundi X just a few hours ago. A successful day out at CES 2019 saw Pundi's blockchain-based XPhone unveiled and covered by mainstream publications. Meanwhile the firm's XPOS point-of-sale device was recently demonstrated in Norway – the first instant crypto POS sale in the nation.
All of that resulted in a 23% price hike for the coin. But as of Thursday, most of that was gone, as the coin price fell from $0.000563 down to $0.000435 – a 22% loss in less than twenty-four hours.
Global Pump and Dump?
If we look at the global charts from the past two weeks, it appears as though the entire market may have been subject to a pump and dump.
After the Christmas surge, the normal move would have been for a correction, however, on December 28th, a sudden influx of $10 billion entered the market in a two hour period. Just enough to get everyone excited for a New Year bull run.

In urban planning, sophisticated simulation models are key tools to estimate future population growth for measuring the impact of planning decisions on urban developments and the environment. Simulated population projections usually result in large, macro-scale, multivariate geospatial data sets. Millions of records have to be processed, stored, and visualized to help planners explore and analyze complex population patterns. We introduce a database driven framework for visualizing geospatial multidimensional simulation data based on the output from UrbanSim, a software for the analysis and planning of urban developments. The designed framework is extendable and aims at integrating empirical-stochastic methods and urban simulation models with techniques developed for information visualization and cartography. First, we develop an empirical model for the estimation of residential building types based on demographic household characteristics. The predicted dwelling type information is important for the analysis of future material use, carbon footprint calculations, and for visualizing simultaneously the results of land usage, density, and other significant parameters in 3D space. Our model uses multinomial logistic regression to derive building types at different scales. The estimated regression coefficients are applied to UrbanSim output in order to predict residential building types. The simulation results and the estimated building types are managed in an object-relational geodatabase. From the database, density, building types, and significant demographic variables are visually encoded as scalable, georeferenced 3D geometries and displayed on top of aerial photographs in a Google Earth visual synthesis. The geodatabase can be accessed and the visualization parameters can be chosen through a web-based user interface. The geometries are encoded in KML, Google's markup language, as ready-to-visualize data sets. The goal is to enhance human cognition by displaying abstract representations of multidimensional data sets in a realistic context and thus to support decision making in planning processes.
Due to the steadily growing flood of data, the appropriate use of visualizations for efficient data analysis is as important today as it has never been before. In many application domains, the data flood is based on processes that can be represented by node-link diagrams. Within such a diagram, nodes may represent intermediate results (or products), system states (or snapshots), milestones or real (and possibly georeferenced) objects, while links (edges) can embody transition conditions, transformation processes or real physical connections. Inspired by the engineering sciences application domain and the research project "SinOptiKom: Cross-sectoral optimization of transformation processes in municipal infrastructures in rural areas", a platform for the analysis of transformation processes has been researched and developed based on a geographic information system (GIS). Caused by the increased amount of available and interesting data, a particular challenge is the simultaneous visualization of several visible attributes within one single diagram instead of using multiple ones. Therefore, two approaches have been developed, which utilize the available space between nodes in a diagram to display additional information. Motivated by the necessity of appropriate result communication with various stakeholders, a concept for a universal, dashboard-based analysis platform has been developed. This web-based approach is conceptually capable of displaying data from various data sources and has been supplemented by collaboration possibilities such as sharing, annotating and presenting features. In order to demonstrate the applicability and usability of newly developed applications, visualizations or user interfaces, extensive evaluations with human users are often inevitable. To reduce the complexity and the effort for conducting an evaluation, the browser-based evaluation framework (BREF) has been designed and implemented. Through its universal and flexible character, virtually any visualization or interaction running in the browser can be evaluated with BREF without any additional application (except for a modern web browser) on the target device. BREF has already proved itself in a wide range of application areas during the development and has since grown into a comprehensive evaluation tool.
The visualization of numerical fluid flow datasets is essential to the engineering processes that motivate their computational simulation. To address the need for visual representations that convey meaningful relations and enable a deep understanding of flow structures, the discipline of Flow Visualization has produced many methods and schemes that are tailored to a variety of visualization tasks. The ever increasing complexity of modern flow simulations, however, puts an enormous demand on these methods. The study of vortex breakdown, for example, which is a highly transient and inherently three-dimensional flow pattern with substantial impact wherever it appears, has driven current techniques to their limits. In this thesis, we propose several novel visualization methods that significantly advance the state of the art in the visualization of complex flow structures. First, we propose a novel scheme for the construction of stream surfaces from the trajectories of particles embedded in a flow. These surfaces are extremely useful since they naturally exploit coherence between neighboring trajectories and are highly illustrative in nature. We overcome the limitations of existing stream surface algorithms that yield poor results in complex flows, and show how the resulting surfaces can be used a building blocks for advanced flow visualization techniques. Moreover, we present a visualization method that is based on moving section planes that travel through a dataset and sample the flow. By considering the changes to the flow topology on the plane as it moves, we obtain a method of visualizing topological structures in three-dimensional flows that are not accessible by conventional topological methods. On the same algorithmic basis, we construct an algorithm for the tracking of critical points in such flows, thereby enabling the treatment of time-dependent datasets. Last, we address some problems with the recently introduced Lagrangian techniques. While conceptually elegant and generally applicable, they suffer from an enormous computational cost that we significantly use by developing an adaptive approximation algorithm. This allows the application of such methods on very large and complex numerical simulations. Throughout this thesis, we will be concerned with flow visualization aspect of general practical significance but we will particularly emphasize the remarkably challenging visualization of the vortex breakdown phenomenon.
In urban planning, both measuring and communicating sustainability are among the most recent concerns. Therefore, the primary emphasis of this thesis concerns establishing metrics and visualization techniques in order to deal with indicators of sustainability. First, this thesis provides a novel approach for measuring and monitoring two indicators of sustainability - urban sprawl and carbon footprints – at the urban neighborhood scale. By designating different sectors of relevant carbon emissions as well as different household categories, this thesis provides detailed information about carbon emissions in order to estimate impacts of daily consumption decisions and travel behavior by household type. Regarding urban sprawl, a novel gridcell-based indicator model is established, based on different dimensions of urban sprawl. Second, this thesis presents a three-step-based visualization method, addressing predefined requirements for geovisualizations and visualizing those indicator results, introduced above. This surface-visualization combines advantages from both common GIS representation and three-dimensional representation techniques within the field of urban planning, and is assisted by a web-based graphical user interface which allows for accessing the results by the public. In addition, by focusing on local neighborhoods, this thesis provides an alternative approach in measuring and visualizing both indicators by utilizing a Neighborhood Relation Diagram (NRD), based on weighted Voronoi diagrams. Thus, the user is able to a) utilize original census data, b) compare direct impacts of indicator results on the neighboring cells, and c) compare both indicators of sustainability visually.
Due to remarkable technological advances in the last three decades the capacity of computer systems has improved tremendously. Considering Moore's law, the number of transistors on integrated circuits has doubled approximately every two years and the trend is continuing. Likewise, developments in storage density, network bandwidth, and compute capacity show similar patterns. As a consequence, the amount of data that can be processed by today's systems has increased by orders of magnitude. At the same time, however, the resolution of screens has hardly increased by a factor of ten. Thus, there is a gap between the amount of data that can be processed and the amount of data that can be visualized. Large high-resolution displays offer a way to deal with this gap and provide a significantly increased screen area by combining the images of multiple smaller display devices. The main objective of this dissertation is the development of new visualization and interaction techniques for large high-resolution displays.
Sound surrounds us all the time and in every place in our daily life, may it be pleasant music in a concert hall or disturbing noise emanating from a busy street in front of our home. The basic properties are the same for both kinds of sound, namely sound waves propagating from a source, but we perceive it in different ways depending on our current mood or if the sound is wanted or not. In this thesis both pleasant sound as well as disturbing noise is examined by means of simulating the sound and visualizing the results thereof. However, although the basic properties of music and traffic noise are the same, one is interested in different features. For example, in a concert hall, the reverberation time is an important quality measure, but if noise is considered only the resulting sound level, for example on ones balcony, is of interest. Such differences are reflected in different methods of simulation and required visualizations, therefore this thesis is divided into two parts. The first part about room acoustics deals with the simulation and novel visualizations for indoor sound and acoustic quality measures, such as definition (original "Deutlichkeit") and clarity index (original "Klarheitsmaß"). For the simulation two different methods, a geometric (phonon tracing) and a wave based (FEM) approach, are applied and compared. The visualization techniques give insight into the sound behaviour and the acoustic quality of a room from a global as well as a listener based viewpoint. Furthermore, an acoustic rendering equation is presented, which is used to render interference effects for different frequencies. Last but not least a novel visualization approach for low frequency sound is presented, which enables the topological analysis of pressure fields based on room eigenfrequencies. The second part about environmental noise is concerned with the simulation and visualization of outdoor sound with a focus on traffic noise. The simulation instruction prescribed by national regulations is discussed in detail, and an approach for the computation of noise volumes, as well as an extension to the simulation, allowing interactive noise calculation, are presented. Novel visualization and interaction techniques for the calculated noise data, incorporated in an interactive three dimensional environment, enabling the easy comprehension of noise problems, are presented. Furthermore additional information can be integrated into the framework to enhance the visualization of noise and the usability of the framework for different usages.
Qualifizierung der integrierten Innenstadtentwicklung durch Visualisierung und Simulation im stadtplanerischen Entwurfsprozess (2011)
Angesichts des anhaltenden demografischen, ökonomischen und gesellschaftlichen Wandels steht die Stadtplanung großen Herausforderungen gegenüber. Insbesondere die Reaktivierung und Revitalisierung der innerstädtischen Bereiche als den räumlichen, funk-tionalen und emotionalen Zentren der Städte bilden hierbei ein wesentliches Handlungsfeld. Neben den Auswirkungen auf den gesamten Planungsprozess beeinflussen die daraus resultierenden Handlungserfordernisse insbesondere den stadtplanerischen Entwurf im Sinne der Organisation räumlicher Strukturen und ihrer Wechselwirkungen. Aufgrund der hohen Komplexität der zu bewältigenden Aufgaben beim Entwerfen im innerstädtischen Kontext kommt hierbei den informationstechnischen Möglichkeiten der I&K-Technologien in Form von Visualisierungen und Simulationen große Bedeutung zu. Vor dem Hintergrund der Herausforderungen des Entwerfens im innerstädtischen Kontext liegt das Ziel der Arbeit in der Erarbeitung von Ansätzen zur Qualifizierung des stadtpla-nerischen Entwurfsprozesses durch computerbasierte Visualisierungen und Simulationen. Hierbei gilt es zunächst, die gegebenen Rahmenbedingungen und Entwicklungstendenzen in den Innenstädten hinsichtlich der daraus resultierenden Handlungserfordernisse für das stadtplanerische Handeln zu untersuchen. Besagte Erfordernisse umfassen beispielsweise die Stärkung der Innenstädte als Wohnstandort, als Zentren des Handels, der Dienstleistung und der Kultur sowie als Bereiche hoher Dichte und Nutzungsmischung. Gleichzeitig gilt es, den Forderungen der integrierten Innenstadtentwicklung gerecht zu werden, in deren Rahmen ein tragfähiger stadtplanerischer Entwurf, unter Berücksichti-gung ganzheitlicher Strategien, zum raumverträglichen und zukunftsfähigen Ausgleich der unterschiedlichen Ansprüche und Interessen beitragen muss. Bezogen auf die Möglichkeiten zur Unterstützung und Qualifizierung des Entwurfsprozes-ses durch Visualisierung raumbezogener Informationen und möglicher Entwicklungszu-stände steht neben der Analyse bestehender Techniken und Anwendungen die Ausei-nandersetzung mit einer Vielzahl technischer Neuerungen im Fokus. Diese technischen Neuerungen zeigen sich insbesondere in den Bereichen der GI-Systeme, der 3D-Stadtmodelle, der sog. 'Neogeografie' sowie der 'Augmented Reality' und 'Virtual Reality'. Im Rahmen der Notwendigkeit zur Simulation dynamischer urbaner Prozesse bildet die Suche nach flexiblen, modular erweiterbaren Simulationsarchitekturen sowie die Möglich-keiten zur Simulation räumlicher und gesellschaftlicher Prozesse mittels automatenbasier-ter Modelle den Schwerpunkt. Zusammenfassend erfordert der effektive und ökonomische Einsatz von Anwendungen der Visualisierung und Simulation die enge Verknüpfung und Abstimmung der gegebenen Einsatzmöglichkeiten mit den inhaltlichen und methodischen Anforderungen des stadtpla-nerischen Entwurfs. Im Ergebnis werden zwei Ebenen zur Qualifizierung des innerstädtischen Entwurfspro-zesses durch Techniken und Anwendungen der Visualisierung und Simulation identifiziert und daraus Ansätze für neue Entwurfstools abgeleitet. Die erste Ebene beinhaltet die me-thodisch-inhaltliche Auseinandersetzung mit den Möglichkeiten zur Verknüpfung von Vi-sualisierungen und Simulationen mit den jeweiligen Stufen des stadtplanerischen Ent-wurfsprozesses sowie den dort zu leistenden Aufgaben. Die zweite Ebene bildet schließlich die Auseinandersetzung mit den Möglichkeiten zur zielgerichteten Weiterentwicklung und/ oder Synthese bestehender Techniken und Anwendungen.
The recognition of patterns and structures has gained importance for dealing with the growing amount of data being generated by sensors and simulations. Most existing methods for pattern recognition are tailored for scalar data and non-correlated data of higher dimensions. The recognition of general patterns in flow structures is possible, but not yet practically usable, due to the high computation effort. The main goal of this work is to present methods for comparative visualization of flow data, amongst others, based on a new method for efficient pattern recognition on flow data. This work is structured in three parts: At first, a known feature-based approach for pattern recognition on flow data, the Clifford convolution, has been applied to color edge detection, and been extended to non-uniform grids. However, this method is still computationally expensive for a general pattern recognition, since the recognition algorithm has to be applied for numerous different scales and orientations of the query pattern. A more efficient and accurate method for pattern recognition on flow data is presented in the second part. It is based upon a novel mathematical formulation of moment invariants for flow data. The common moment invariants for pattern recognition are not applicable on flow data, since they are only invariant on non-correlated data. Because of the spatial correlation of flow data, the moment invariants had to be redefined with different basis functions to satisfy the demands for an invariant mapping of flow data. The computation of the moment invariants is done by a multi-scale convolution of the complete flow field with the basis functions. This pre-processing computation time almost equals the time for the pattern recognition of one single general pattern with the former algorithms. However, after having computed the moments once, they can be indexed and used as a look-up-table to recognize any desired pattern quickly and interactively. This results in a flexible and easy-to-use tool for the analysis of patterns in 2d flow data. For an improved rendering of the recognized features, an importance driven streamline algorithm has been developed. The density of the streamlines can be adjusted by using importance maps. The result of a pattern recognition can be used as such a map, for example. Finally, new comparative flow visualization approaches utilizing the streamline approach, the flow pattern matching, and the moment invariants are presented.
Multi-Field Visualization (2011)
Modern science utilizes advanced measurement and simulation techniques to analyze phenomena from fields such as medicine, physics, or mechanics. The data produced by application of these techniques takes the form of multi-dimensional functions or fields, which have to be processed in order to provide meaningful parts of the data to domain experts. Definition and implementation of such processing techniques with the goal to produce visual representations of portions of the data are topic of research in scientific visualization or multi-field visualization in the case of multiple fields. In this thesis, we contribute novel feature extraction and visualization techniques that are able to convey data from multiple fields created by scientific simulations or measurements. Furthermore, our scalar-, vector-, and tensor field processing techniques contribute to scattered field processing in general and introduce novel ways of analyzing and processing tensorial quantities such as strain and displacement in flow fields, providing insights into field topology. We introduce novel mesh-free extraction techniques for visualization of complex-valued scalar fields in acoustics that aid in understanding wave topology in low frequency sound simulations. The resulting structures represent regions with locally minimal sound amplitude and convey wave node evolution and sound cancellation in time-varying sound pressure fields, which is considered an important feature in acoustics design. Furthermore, methods for flow field feature extraction are presented that facilitate analysis of velocity and strain field properties by visualizing deformation of infinitesimal Lagrangian particles and macroscopic deformation of surfaces and volumes in flow. The resulting adaptive manifolds are used to perform flow field segmentation which supports multi-field visualization by selective visualization of scalar flow quantities. The effects of continuum displacement in scattered moment tensor fields can be studied by a novel method for multi-field visualization presented in this thesis. The visualization method demonstrates the benefit of clustering and separate views for the visualization of multiple fields.
Linking Automated Data Analysis and Visualization with Applications in Developmental Biology and High-energy Physics (2009)
Knowledge discovery from large and complex collections of today's scientific datasets is a challenging task. With the ability to measure and simulate more processes at increasingly finer spatial and temporal scales, the increasing number of data dimensions and data objects is presenting tremendous challenges for data analysis and effective data exploration methods and tools. Researchers are overwhelmed with data and standard tools are often insufficient to enable effective data analysis and knowledge discovery. The main objective of this thesis is to provide important new capabilities to accelerate scientific knowledge discovery form large, complex, and multivariate scientific data. The research covered in this thesis addresses these scientific challenges using a combination of scientific visualization, information visualization, automated data analysis, and other enabling technologies, such as efficient data management. The effectiveness of the proposed analysis methods is demonstrated via applications in two distinct scientific research fields, namely developmental biology and high-energy physics. Advances in microscopy, image analysis, and embryo registration enable for the first time measurement of gene expression at cellular resolution for entire organisms. Analysis of highdimensional spatial gene expression datasets is a challenging task. By integrating data clustering and visualization, analysis of complex, time-varying, spatial gene expression patterns and their formation becomes possible. The analysis framework MATLAB and the visualization have been integrated, making advanced analysis tools accessible to biologist and enabling bioinformatic researchers to directly integrate their analysis with the visualization. Laser wakefield particle accelerators (LWFAs) promise to be a new compact source of highenergy particles and radiation, with wide applications ranging from medicine to physics. To gain insight into the complex physical processes of particle acceleration, physicists model LWFAs computationally. The datasets produced by LWFA simulations are (i) extremely large, (ii) of varying spatial and temporal resolution, (iii) heterogeneous, and (iv) high-dimensional, making analysis and knowledge discovery from complex LWFA simulation data a challenging task. To address these challenges this thesis describes the integration of the visualization system VisIt and the state-of-the-art index/query system FastBit, enabling interactive visual exploration of extremely large three-dimensional particle datasets. Researchers are especially interested in beams of high-energy particles formed during the course of a simulation. This thesis describes novel methods for automatic detection and analysis of particle beams enabling a more accurate and efficient data analysis process. By integrating these automated analysis methods with visualization, this research enables more accurate, efficient, and effective analysis of LWFA simulation data than previously possible.

NEW HAVEN — Corey Hooks didn't play much in the first three games for North Haven after suffering a concussion in the season opener against West Haven.
He missed the second week of the season and played a little in the third week.
But after having a bye last week, Hooks returned to the backfield with a big night as the Indians scored 42 points in the final three quarters to break things open en route to a 49-14 Southern Connecticut Conference victory over Hillhouse Friday night at Bowen Field.
"One of the things we do have is quite an arsenal of running backs," North Haven coach Tony Sagnella said. "They are all different, but Corey runs the power play really well. He read the blocks very well. He's starting to finish the runs well."
WEEK 5 High School Football Scoreboard / Schedule
Hooks carried the ball 20 times for 154 yards and a pair of touchdowns in the first half as North Haven (4-0), needed eight minutes get on the scoreboard as the Hillhouse defense was able to keep the Indians from a big play.
Finally, after quarterback Shamus Meehan connected with Devan Brockamer on a 27-yard pass play to get the Indians down to the Academics' 2-yard line, Hooks scooted into the end zone to open the scoring.
Hillhouse came right back on its very next possession with Demelle Turner, making his first start at quarterback for the Academics, scoring from two yards out to make it 7-6 at the end of the first quarter.

"I have to credit Hillhouse," Sagnella said. "They aren't lying down and they were playing physical."
But after that, it was all North Haven from there. The Indians received rushing touchdowns from Max Augustine (2 yards), Hooks (14 yards) and Nick Pastore (1 yard) to grab a 28-6 halftime edge.
"We just kept pounding the rock with 48 (the power dive)," Hooks said. "Just follow the fullback and sooner or later it's going to bust open."
North Haven tacked on touchdown runs by Nick Dodge (8 carries for 88 yards) and Meehan connected with Brockamer again for 37 yards, this time for a touchdown pass to make it 42-6 after three quarters. That invoked the CIAC 35-point running time rule on the clock.
North Haven tacked on its final score of the night with 1:17 to go when Augustine scored his second touchdown if the night on a 14-yard scamper.
Hillhouse closed out the scoring when All-State track hurdler Deshaun Poole took the ensuing kickoff back 92 yards for a touchdown.
The Academics fell to 0-5 this season.
"We hung in there for a while, but we have a young team," Hillhouse coach Reggie Lytle said. "Every day isn't going to be like this. We're taking our lumps and bruises, but we'll be back."
North Haven's Corey Hooks, who rushed 20 times for 154 yards and two touchdowns.
"We had to, believe it not, elevate our game to their level of intensity. Once we did, we started to play the kind of football we're capable of playing."

Things you need to know about plywood
The trickiest and most important part is the plywood
The most important part factors determine plywood's ability and a shear walls performance to resist earthquakes and each of these factors must be considered. The type of nails or staples used, their size and length, plywood thickness, the species of wood, the manufacturing of the plywood, and the wall framing all play a part in the plywood installation.
The table below is from APA Research Report 154. Below are some instructions on how to read it.
The black and red arrows point at numbers that represent the pounds of earthquake force each linear foot of plywood can resist if nailed in a manner consistent with the table. For example, if we go the bottom row of the table that starts with 15/32 and follow it left to right we see that:
(1) The Panel Grade is Structural 1 plywood.
(2) The plywood's thickness is 15/32″
(3) The penetration into the framing is 1 1/2 inches.
(4) The nail size is 8d (8d or 10d is simply a way of describing nails a certain length and diameter)
(5) The plywood is nailed on the edges 6″, 4″,3″ or 2″ apart.
Plywood Strength Makes All the Difference
In this case we get different strengths, for example a shear wall will have 430 pounds of resistance per linear foot if the "Nail Spacing at Edges" is 4″ apart with 8d nails and 870 pounds of resistance when nailed with 10d nails 2″ apart. What kind of nailing would you want for your house?
These higher capacity shear walls are not always feasible, and only the person who determines the shape, size, and condition of your existing house can make that determination.
In this case we get different strengths, for example a shear wall will have 430 pounds of resistance per linear foot if the "Nail Spacing at Edges" is 4″ apart with 8d nails and 870 pounds of resistance when nailed with 10d nails 2″ apart. What kind of nailing would you want for your house?
The Science of Plywood Nailing
The best plywood in a seismic retrofits is called Structual 1. It has been specially formulated to brace walls against earthquakes, including cripple walls. The closer the nails are on the edges of the plywood when nailed to the 2 by 4 wall framing, the stronger the plywood will be. All retrofit guidelines require nailing that is 4″ apart, even though plywood nailed at 2″ apart makes the earthquake resistance of the plywood 58% stronger. Depending on how your retrofit was designed, your proposal may mention that the plywood will be nailed 2″ apart.
It is very clear that these guidelines only allow this low strength plywood nailing. These guidelines recommend the use of the Nailed Blocking Method. Because these blocks split so readily it was decided that no more than 4 nails would be allowed for each block. Each nail can resist 117# of force. Multiply that by 4 and you get 471# of resistance. There is no point in nailing the plywood such that it exceeds the strength of these blocks. It was therefore decided that 8d nails would be spaced 4″ apart which provides 484# of resistance per linear foot. An almost exact match.
If the Nailed Blocking method is not used closer nailing is not a problem as born out by the hundreds of tests done by the American Plywood Association. The APA's allowance of this spacing is quite conservative meaning it has no problem in condoning this nail spacing in the nationally adopted International Building Code. Retrofit has not seen any problems with nail spacing even as close as 1″ apart, let alone 2″ apart as approved
Aspect Ratio-This is very technical
An aspect ration is the ratio between the height and the width. For example, a shear wall that is 8 feet long and 4 feet wide has an aspect ration of 2h/1w (the height is twice as long as the width).
To use the values listed in the shear wall tables above, a shear wall must have a 2/1 aspect ratio or less. If the aspect ratio is greater 2/1 but less than 3.5/1, the per linear foot of earthquake resistance of the shear wall must be reduced by what is called a reduction factor.
This maximum 3.5/1 aspect ratio translates into an 8 ft. shear wall 27.5″ wide. Any narrower than this and you have a post.
The way you figure out the aspect ratio of a shear wall is to divide both the height and the width by the width. For example: if a shear wall is 64″ high/18″ wide, we divide both the height and the width by 18 to get a ration of 3.5/1. If the wall is 96″ tall then 96″/18″ = 5.3/1. This is a post and not a shear wall.
Once we determine the aspect ratio, assuming it is less than 3.5/1, we use a reduction factor of twice the width 2w/h (height). So if we have a shear wall that is 96″ tall and 32″ wide the reduction factor is twice the w/h = 2 x 32/96 = 0.666. The allowable shear in the table is multiplied by this factor to get the reduced shear capacity of the narrow wall.

The contemporary dance trailblazers of the eighties played an important role in establishing Montréal's current reputation as a dance epicenter. Several of these forerunning leaders in dance direct their own companies, such as Marie Chouinard. Including, up until 2016, Ginette Laurin with O Vertigo, and Édouard Lock with La La La Human Steps. Based on size, budget and breadth of activity, the three most important companies in the province today are Marie Chouinard, Ballet Jazz Montreal and Les Grands Ballets Canadiens de Montréal. Initially, they all struggled for recognition and financial stability. Now, these companies present internationally, hire salaried dancers and administrative staff and operate with annual budgets that reach into the millions.
Montréal is also host to a growing number of mid-sized companies ranging anywhere from five to twenty years old. These include, amongst others, Daniel Léveillé Danse, Par B.L.eux (Benoît Lachambre), Flak (José Navas), Nyata Nyata (Zab Maboungou), Sinha Danse (Roger Sinha), and Carré des Lombes (Danièle Desnoyers). More recent companies weave themselves into the fabric, such as MAYDAY (Mélanie Demers), Dave St-Pierre, and RUBBERBANDance Group. Most of these artists started out as independent choreographers who eventually formed companies in order to be eligible for operating grants, amongst other reasons. Operating funds allow them to hire full-time administrative personnel. The dancers that work with these companies are self-employed, and work on a contract-to-contract basis.
Recently, certain companies have begun to integrate independent artists under their name, such as Clara Furey and Dana Michel with Par B.L.eux, or Catherine Gaudet and Frédérick Gravel with Daniel Léveillé Danse. Alternatively, certain independent choreographers joined together to form a company as with Je suis Julio or Lorganisme. These new models developed predominantly out of a desire and need for mentorship, sharing, and pooling administrative resources.
To be termed an "independent" choreographer, as is the case for many choreographers working today, there must be an absence of Non Profit Organisation (ONBL) status and a Board of Directors. These independent artists have any number of years of experience, and range from established (Georges Stamos) to mid-career (Nicolas Cantin, Helen Simard) to emerging. Every year, many emerging choreographers begin to ply their craft in Montréal as independents. Some take the traditional route of first working as dancers for several years before delving into choreography. While others may be recent graduates of one of Montréal's several professional or university dance programs. After all, the paths and possibilities are manifold.

Margaret River – I love you. (Meeka, you're alright too)
Pete and I recently went to Margaret River for a holiday, located in the beautiful south-west corner of Western Australia.
Coming from stinkin' hot Meekatharra with long boring highways lined by even more boring mulga shrubbery (it has its own kind of beauty but it wears off when you drive through it for hours and hours…Sorry Meeka.) it was magnificent driving into Margaret River, through tall trees, windy roads lined with vineyards and milk cow grazing country. It was very pretty. And then we pulled up outside the Eco Boutique and my heart jumped a little with joy. We were both a bit hungry so we went to the next best café and they served matcha lattes (and almost frown at you if you want cow's milk, not almond or soy milk) and had a brownie made with pretty much nothing but cacao and honey and organic locally grown nuts, and my heart made another leap of joy because it was YUM! I thought I had arrived in heaven and thought it couldn't get any better, until we went to the supermarket to get some supplies and got non-homogenized local organic milk (oooh!) and local meat (oooh!). And at the checkout they had a corner full of used cardboard boxes that you packed your groceries in, instead of a plastic bag! Oooh! Heaven was getting better and better! And then (I know, the Greenie experiences just kept going!) we went to the bakery which was gorgeous and quirky and got freshly baked beautiful sourdough bread. Oh oh oh I couldn't get over myself with all these artisan, locally made, family owned, organic, healthy goodies around me.
It was as if I'd stepped into some other corner of the world. Not the laid-back-somewhat-behind-Meekatharra-where-nothing-ever-happens-in-a-hurry-and-healthy-trends-don't-take-foot, or the consumerism-city-suburbs-built-to-get-us-to-spend-our-money-at-massive-conglomerates-that-rule-our-food-supply. No, Margaret River felt like a community that was proud to live where it lives and recognizes the wealth and beauty that nature provides them with.
I realize that Meekatharra won't ever be like Margaret River. We don't get hipster surfers (5 hours drive to the coast anyone?), the climate is not as pleasant (45 degrees Celsius in summer instead of a lovely 27. Not quite hiking weather.), we don't have rolling hills for world-class vineyards (but we might be quite good at cultivating raisins? Anyone ever thought of that?), trees in Meeka country grow a mind-blowing 2 metres high instead of the 30 metres Jarrah, Karri and Marri forests of the southwest (Meeka trees are probably scared they might touch the sun, understandably so), and a chocolate factory like the one in Margaret River would just be hilarious in Meeka – hot chocolate anyone? Bring a cup.
So, I realize that Margaret River has unique things going for it that other regions and towns can't just copy. We all need to work within our limits.
But a café serving healthy cacao brownies? Doable! A supermarket offering cardboard boxes instead of plastic bags? Not impossible! A butcher selling locally raised beef from surrounding cattle stations? Absolutely possible! Artisan shops showcasing local goodies? Of course! In fact – we have one! (YAAAY Meeka is cottoning on!) A Meekatharrian (born Canadian) set up an Arts & Heritage Association with a lovely shop and gallery giving Meeka artists an outlet for their art and showing tourists that we have talented people, too. Yeah, get that, Margaret River, we don't just sit in our aircon all day, we actually do something too! Not much, but something nonetheless. Some people. Sometimes. When it's not too hot…
Anyway, my point is that Meeka (or your home town wherever you live) could probably be more environmentally friendly. Just imagine if Margaret River's population (all the hipsters, greenies, ecos, farmers, families, surfers) were picked up by a magic hand and dropped into your town – do you think they would make some changes? Give it a year and I'm sure your town would be just as quirky and would have its own unique greenie projects going. You, me, us humans are the ones who shape our towns. It's up to us to make it happen. Don't be defeated by your environment but work with it. Yes we all have a unique set of circumstances on our hands (hot, cold, green, not so green, humidity, sunshine, clouds, fresh water, salt water, no water, coastal, inland, big suburb, small town, …) and there is no one-fits-all-environmentally-friendly-scheme that you can apply to every town. Work with it and make your community, your town, your suburb, your house unique and well-adapted to the landscape. There is no "too hot" or "too far away" or "too small" or "too big" – it just means that we haven't adapted our ideas properly yet to the environment and the circumstances we have at hand. We just gotta keep chipping away, one step at a time, keep amending and adapting. That's what we humans are good at. (And it seems I personally am quite good at rambling on. Oops. As you can see – I get a bit passionate about this. Just a little bit more, then I'm done 🙂 )
I love discovering quirky little shops and cafés that serve food made with love and care, not just mass-produced chain-store I'm-just-another-number-in-their-books kind of feeling that sometimes leaves you a bit bloated in your tummy and a bit deflated in your heart. Instead you walk out of little cafés elated with a healthy gut and a happy brain full of ideas. That's how I felt anyway. Let's face it. I had so many ideas in my head and so much energy in me that I set up a frickin' website to write about this. Come to think about it, that must have been one amazing cacao brownie. I can recommend it. Sidekick Cafe, Margaret River. (Just be careful when you ask for cow's milk.. 😉 )
Do you know that feeling when you've been to an amazing seminar or workshop? That's what I feel like at the moment. You walk out with all these amazing ideas and so much inspiration and motivation. It's gonna change your life – absolutely! And whilst we all know that it never all sticks and your normal everyday life and surroundings will slowly but surely bring you back into your old habits, who knows, maybe something will stick. Maybe in a couple of years you go shopping in Meekatharra, in the laid-back Outback where nothing ever happens quickly, and instead of getting a plastic bag for your shopping you will be asked if you'd like a cardboard box. We don't cotton on to trends quickly but things do change. Eventually.
