CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - Despite three goals by Wentworth Institute of Technology in the third period, MIT scored twice in the final frame to propel it to a 6-5 victory in men's lacrosse action on Thursday. Tyler Sorba paced the Engineers (2-3) with two goals and an assist while Adam Keniston and Tim Lunt each notched a goal and an assist for the Leopards (3-3).
Patrick Shannon converted a feed from Tom Hay to open the scoring for MIT with 4:32 remaining in the first quarter. Just over two minutes later, Sorba doubled the Engineers' lead after being set up by Ebbe Strathairn. Wentworth ended the shutout at the 12:52 mark of the second stanza on an unassisted tally by Henry Padden. MIT extended its advantage to two (3-1) in the next three minutes when Dylan Roden set up Brennan Sherry for an extra-man goal. The slim lead would hold through the intermission.
The Leopards cut their deficit in half after 1:45 elapsed in the third quarter on a strike from Chris Wesche that gave Keniston the assist. Hay quickly connected on a pass from Sorba which raised the Engineers' margin to 4-2. Wentworth's unassisted goal by Kyle Beck closed the gap with 9:12 on the clock. Both sides struggled to find the back of the net until Derek Rupert set up Lunt for the equalizer with 12 seconds left.
After being held scoreless for almost 15 minutes, the Engineers regained the lead when Ryan Ballentine found Sorba. Sherry registered the game-winning goal on a pass by Jonathan Stolmeier with 4:25 remaining in regulation. The Leopards answered within the next 40 seconds as Keniston connected on a feed from Lunt. Wentworth had several opportunities to tie the game, but MIT's defense thwarted any scoring attempts.
Zach Brewer collected a team-high five groundballs and made 10 saves for the Engineers. Keniston led the Leopards with six groundballs as Nick Murphy tallied 13 saves.
Next up for MIT will be a Pilgrim Lacrosse League game at Springfield College on Saturday, April 7 while Wentworth will travel to New England College on Tuesday, April 10.

On Oct. 29, Hurricane Sandy made landfall in New Jersey and turned the lives of many people upside-down. Lives were lost, homes were destroyed, and day-to-day normalcy vanished.
Almost three weeks later, many of those people are still without power and sufficient food and water.
People are down and out.
Adults can't go to work.
Children can't go to school.
In an effort to restore a sense of normalcy for those people devastated by Hurricane Sandy, J.S. Jenks Elementary School is partnering with Ocean City Intermediate School and hosting a community Toy Drive to support those families in need.
Mary Lynskey, principal of J.S. Jenks Elementary, said that the "Chestnut Hill/Mount Airy community will be asked to donate toys to fill a school bus."
On top of the toys, each Jenks class will sponsor a frozen turkey to be donated to a family in need. The school will host a Dress Down Day to sponsor a Shelter Box for displaced families.
Lynskey said that Jenks' faculty would also be contributing to "a staff-to-staff gift basket for the faculty of the school we adopted in Ocean County, N.J."
When all the toys, food and other essentials are collected, on Dec. 6, students from Jenks' Arts and Music (JAM) program and staff chaperones will deliver the bus load of donations to Ocean City Intermediate School and perform for them in a brief assembly.
After the Toy Drive, Jenks will continue its relationship with Ocean City Intermediate by hosting two other donation drives: a food drive in February and a school supply drive in May.
"We are very excited about this budding partnership between the two schools," Lynskey said.
Until Dec. 5, you can drop off donations in the foyer of Jenks Elementary School.

Winners of the 2004 Farm Press Peanut Profitability Awards combined a year of record or near-record yields with innovative and efficient production systems to distinguish themselves among their peers.
This year's award recipients helped to achieve a U.S.-record average yield of 3,159 pounds per acre, while at the same time keeping an eye on their respective bottom lines.
Each of the winners represents one of the three major U.S. peanut production regions - the Southwest Region, the Southeast Region and the Virginia-Carolina Region. The awards program was established by Farm Press in cooperation with the Southern Peanut Growers Conference and the Southern Peanut Farmers Federation.
"U.S. peanut growers were blessed this past year with the weather conditions necessary to grow and harvest a bountiful crop," says Greg Frey, publisher of the Farm Press Publications. "But our Peanut Profitability Award winners recognize that production costs and price are as important as high yields in the profit equation."
The 2004 honorees, says Frey, are achieving high yields and grades while at the same time maximizing profits. "You can't have one without the other and remain in peanut production for very long," he says.
Recognizing deserving growers, says Frey, is only one part of the Farm Press Peanut Profitability Program. "Education is an equally important component of this program, and Farm Press accomplishes this by publishing numerous articles throughout the year focusing on production efficiency in peanuts. Growers also will benefit from reading about the production practices of our award winners," he says.
Another part of the education component, presented for the first time this year, is the Peanut Profitability Internship Program. Funds from the program are awarded to a deserving college or university student majoring in agricultural journalism or a related field. This year's recipient, Rebecca Bearden, is a senior at Auburn University.
The agricultural communications major is working the summer semester with Southeast Farm Press.
The winning growers will be honored during the sixth annual Southern Peanut Growers Conference at the Edgewater Beach Resort in Panama City, Fla., July 18-20.
This year's winners include:
Southeast Region — Sauls Partnership, Randolph County, Ga.
Virginia-Carolina Region — Joseph H. Ward, Chowan County, N.C.
Southwest Region — Jimbo Grissom, Gaines County, Texas.
Entries in the awards program are evaluated by Marshall Lamb, economist with the National Peanut Research Laboratory in Dawson, Ga., and a research fellow with Auburn University and the Alabama Cooperative Extension System. Lamb, who serves as adviser to the program, designed the nomination form that is used by growers in determining production efficiency.
One of the common traits among this year's Peanut Profitability winners, says Lamb, is that they were not afraid to spend the money required to make good yields, which ultimately benefited their bottom lines.
"We've had a couple of winners in the past who held back on inputs and sacrificed yields in the process. But that's not true with this year's group. They all made very high yields, and the Southeast benefited this past year from extremely good growing conditions," says Lamb.
The majority of the winning growers' cropland was irrigated, he says. But in the Southeast, where the Sauls family is irrigating 75 percent of their peanut crop, even the dryland yields were outstanding due to plentiful rainfall during 2004, says Lamb.
The 2004 honorees also practiced good crop rotation with their peanuts, he adds. "Another key to efficiency for these growers was detailed management. Their management skills translated into extremely good yields over a large amount of peanut acreage."
The Peanut Profitability Awards, explains Lamb, are based solely on production efficiency — honoring those growers who produce the highest yields at the lowest cost per acre. The awards are based on a producer's entire farm operation, and not just on individual farms or small plots.
The goal of achieving efficiency, says Lamb, has become even more paramount with the government's new peanut program.
"Under the old peanut program, we would fill our quotas and then sell additional peanuts. Now, our total production is marketed for a flat price. If you can make better yields, you can capture much more from your extra production. That translates into a boost in income for our better growers.
"The 2004 Peanut Profitability winners all did a super job marketing their crops," he says.
For more information on this year's winners and their production practices, see the articles in this issue of Southeast Farm Press.

Ray Goossens is mainly known for his work in the animation field, but he also had a productive career as a comic artist. His first comic, 'Reynaart de Vos', was published in the Antwerp paper Het Vlaamsche Land in March 1941. He then enrolled in the Antwerp Acedemy of Fine Arts, where he met Jules Luyckx. Goossens and Luyckx started working on a 16 mm animation film and eventually founded the AFIM animation studios with Henri Winkeler and Edmond Roex in 1943. The studios employed future comic artists like Bob de Moor and produced such films as 'Smidje Smee' and 'Hoe Pimmeke ter Wereld Kwam'. World War II put an end to the activities of the studio in the Spring of 1944. Goossens and Luyckx went into hiding to avoid the German forced labour.
After the War, the artists found employment with the publisher Hoste. Using the joint signature of Regolux, Goossens and Luycks created the comic 'Ouwe Taaie' in De Zweep in February 1945. Goossens continued this strip on his own from September 1945 to 1954. The duo was also present in the scouts magazine Kampvuur with 'Jantje Pap', in De Zondagsvriend with cartoons and in Vrouw en Huis with 'Bouboule'. Goossens was furthermore an illustrator for Zondagsvriend, Volksweekblad and Gazet van Antwerpen. For the Handelsblad, Goossens illustrated the weekly comic 'Jeepke's Avonturen' and the irregular appearing stop comic 'Mr. Snor' in 1946.
Ray Goossens was one of the driving forces behind the Zondagsvriend supplement Kleine Zondagsvriend from its start in 1945, together with artists like Bob de Moor and the brothers Mark en Tom Payot. Still using the name Regolux, he and Luyckx began the gag strip 'Tijl Uilenspiegel' (later renamed to 'Tijl en De Lamme' or 'De Lamme') and 'Pimmeke'. When the team broke up, Goossens continued 'Tijl en Lamme', while Luyckx drew 'Pimmeke' until 1948. Goossens additionally created the adventure series of 'Snops en de Bende', of which six continuing stories appeared between 1946 and 1951. He then made another version of 'Reinaert de Vos' (1947-48) and his final creation for KZV is the gag series about the parrot 'Tsjoem', a character originating from the 'Snops' comic (1951-54).
He had already resumed his animation activities in the late 1940s. He made a cartoon about his comic character 'De Lamme', as well as several advertising films through his own animation studios in Antwerp. He got his breakthrough after his association with the Van Dam K.H. advertising agency in 1949. Goossens dropped all his comic activities in 1954 and by 1959, he became artistic director of publisher Lombard's Belvision studios. There, he worked on animation projects with the publisher's comic characters 'Chlorophylle', 'Spaghetti', 'Houmpa Pa' and 'Tintin', as well as the full-animation movie 'Pinocchio in Outer Space'.
He went independent again in 1965, and took assignments from among others the BRT. He was employed by TV Dupuis between 1969 and 1976, where he succeeded Eddy Ryssack as head of the studio and developed successful animation series like 'Musti', 'Tip en Tap', 'De Pili's and 'Boule et Bill'. Goossens moved his own studio to Deurne in 1976, where he continued to work on 'Musti' and a new series for the BRT, called 'Plons de Gekke Kikker'. Ray Goossens was a teacher in animation at the R.I.T.C.S. in Brussels from 1977 until his reitrement in 1989.

Hi Jeffrey,
My husband and I are renovating the second floor of our home. It's a 60-year-old, three-storey house and we are changing the floor plan to accommodate a large master bedroom with ensuite. The wall that our king bed will go on is 16 feet in length and nine feet high. I'm thrilled to have a large bedroom, but I feel like our bed and nightstands are going to get lost on this wall. Do you have any ideas to make it seem cozier? And although I love wallpaper, my husband told me to tell you he would move out if you suggest it in his bedroom.
Thank you, - Ashley
Well, Ashley, right from the start I see your husband and I aren't going to get along!
Or maybe he's touched a nerve with me because wallpaper is indeed my go-to wall treatment when I want to add atmosphere or coziness to a room. I'll have to dig a little further into my bag of tricks.
How do you think he will feel about an entire built-in wall unit that houses your bed and nightstands? That's what Vancouver-based designer, Kelly Deck (kellydeck.com) did with the master suite pictured on this page.
The wood stain of the built-in is similar in tone to the stain on the floor; it appears to continue up from the floor while everything else in the room remains neutral. The light tones of the bed, walls and upholstered furniture pieces are a great contrast to the floor and built-in.
The three-inch-thick profile running up the walls and across the ceiling gives the piece a substantial feel and the clean lines of the nightstands appear to be floating weightlessly beside the bed. The bed platform is upholstered in the same fabric as the individual panels above. Notice the three lights inset in the wood above the bed, providing perfect pin lighting for atmosphere or reading.
For your room, draw this bed and built-in a few times over on plain pieces of paper. Now assume the role of decorator and alter this design to suit your needs. Perhaps you would like to see panels of mirror run from the top of each nightstand to the ceiling? Or maybe you will incorporate shelving into your built-in or larger fabric panels in pattern and colour? Even if you have a window on your wall this could look amazing built around the window, using it as a feature. Maybe you want to put moulding on the back of your built-in and hang art in the centre of each panel? (I won't even recommend putting wallpaper in the centre of each panel.) I suggest you hand over one of your blank drawings to hubby, so he can have input as well. Between the two of you, you should have no less than half a dozen working sketches by the time you're done this exercise.
My point is that this design has great bones and can be easily adapted to suit yours and your husband's needs. Treat this photo as a launching off point and make it your own.
Good Luck, Jeffrey

The squid will be fully attached (so no one can rip him off the railing) and will eventually have two longer tentacles that wrap around.
Hahaha look! There's a Star Wars poster in the background. What a nerd! Oh wait.
Here's another toothless that I completed on commission this week. It's not like you haven't already seen about ten of these already.

The biggest cause for argument here in the comments seems to be budget. Some of you are considering budget as part of the equation and some aren't.
With little to no budget for a mobile site, of course using CSS Media Queries to make the site a little friendlier for mobile users is a good idea. But if the client has budgeted appropriately for a separate mobile experience, then I have to agree with @Sarah and @Aral that CSS Media Queries are probably not going to cut it.
The article has some excellent tips about web development on the iPhone, so thanks to @Sarah for that. However, I have to agree with @Jeremy and @Simon that there is definitely some questionable bits (redirecting with JS and the display:none comment).

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – The 2012 New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) men's soccer all-conference teams were released on Tuesday, revealing the names of four Engineers. Freshman Sean Bingham (Garden City, N.Y.) was voted as the NEWMAC Rookie of the Year and was joined by sophomore John Kramer (Glastonbury, Conn.) on the Second Team. Senior Ben Lewis (West Hartford, Conn.), the conference's Most Outstanding Player, and sophomore Nick Diamantoni (Belle Mead, N.J.) were named to the First Team. MIT also received the Sportsmanship Award following the close of conference competition over the weekend.
Bingham, who has scored a team-leading 15 goals during his first season at MIT, is currently tied for first in the conference in goals and is second in points (32). He is also third in the MIT record books for most goals in a season. Bingham is the only player on the team to have started all 19 games this season.
Having scored seven goals and tallied two assists to total 17 points, Kramer is second on the team in goals and third in points. He has played in all 19 games this season, starting all but one of them. This is the first time that he has been named to the all-conference team.
Lewis collected his fourth league award and third straight first team honor after totaling three goals and one assist for seven points. He was named as the NEWMAC Tournament Most Outstanding Player after his performance at the championship finals against Springfield over the weekend.
Diamantoni, who was recently named to the CoSIDA Academic All-District First Team, has scored five goals and a team-leading nine assists to total 19 points. This is the first time that he has been named to the all-conference team.

Well, so another year's in the books. Following my annual jokes on the Chinese and Jewish New Years, this morning I caught myself almost dating today 2017, so there's still an adjustment period to work through, for me at least. The regular season for tackle football ended with the old year, and hats off to Mr.Tact for winning our annual Pigskin Pick'em Pool by picking 172 winners (as usual, removing our hats is the only prize here beyond the all-important bragging rights). I ended in ninth place this year with 161 winners, just off the 163 total that won last year. On the more challenging, but less active point spread pool, WarPig went whole hog and won with 133 correct picks. I was a stronger contender in this one with 131, good for third place. So yes, I would have won the spread pool and possibly the straight pool too, if I simply picked against the Giants every week (the price of loyalty). But dwelling on the past, time to move on to the postseason. I've created a new Playoff Pool on PoolTracker with the same criteria as the past few years. The password is "carnage," and you can feel free to join and invite friends.

[Floor 5] «Arioch»
(100% Floor Mapped)
[Safe Area] «Balandor»
The prosperous Kingdom of Balandor is located at the heart of Arioch and extends throughout a whole mountain. Even though only the residential area is accessible to players, the scale of its walls are truly outstanding. The kingdom is built with white marble; a sturdy and attractive mineral commonly found only at Arioch. The city sky lights are filled with blue glowing banners hanged from roof to roof which seems to have some magic encapsulated within. The city is prosperous with abundant items and equipment for sale. The city's staple trade are raw crystals which could be made to usable crystals such as Antidote Crystals, Health Crystals and Teleport Crystals.
[Combat Field] «Forest of Myth»
Living up to its name, the Forest of Myth is an unwelcoming combat field populated by mythical creatures, both friendly and hostile. Because this combat field is located on a separate continent from Balandor, players would often use ferries to get across and utilize the many outposts scattered across the continent to rest and prepare for their adventure. Different levels of the forest define the difficulty of enemies that lie ahead.The upper stratum which is a rocky wildlands is inhabited by Rampaging Centaurs and Baby Dragons. The lower stratum, or the mossy swamp is inhabited by Fire Drakes and Hylek Frogs.

Adversity builds character
Wolf, being the first to enter, unlocked the new floor to the rest of the players. As Balandor swiftly became flooded with excited players, Wolf couldn't help but admire the beautiful white marble that made up the giant city. There were many groups of buildings and beautiful pathways that connected them. "I could never imagine living here," Wolf thought to himself. "But I definitely could see visiting here from time to time just to sight see."
Thanks to Wolf's decently leveled <<battle healing>>, his hp was at 90% at this point and time. They had a rough battle and he just wanted to rest somewhere. But he knew he couldn't. He went to the edge of town in order to find out how to get to the combat area.
He walked up to the sign that showed the times for the ferry to leave. "I'll just take the next one."
Wolf turned around after he read the sign. The Ferry is the only way to and from the combat field. He couldn't help it if it wasn't running at the moment. Resisting his urge to fight, Wolf decided to find some random food store and check out what arioch has available to eat.
Eventually he came across a store named <<MYTHellaneous Meats>>. It was placed in between the portal and the ferry so that meant that players had to pass by it in order to get to the combat zone. Wolf decided to check it out. "This place could be interesting."
With my blade by my side, I'm never alone.
Hearing that the boss for level four had been cleared Amon was saddened that he had missed all of the action. Although word was spreading that a few players had almost died during the encounter but he thought that he could have fared fine enough.
Walking through the portal his first thoughts were that the area looked incredible. A little high class for what he was looking for buying wise but extraordinary all the same. "It is amazing what can be done in this virtual world" Amon thought. Looking to buy a new weapon and maybe some better armor Amon went straight to the shopping district to hopefully find something a little more durable than his two handed sword which was about to break. Seeing a nearby shop that looked like it had reasonable prices he wandered in.
Old times are good times
From the boss room, Asuna walks to the 5th floor and the first thing she notices was how white everything looked. The walls around the city looked very impressive and high. The vast amount of white marble structure also caught her eye. This seemed like a place she wouldn't mind spending time in. In the real world, she never visited a place as interesting as this. Sometimes she forgot how amazing the virtual world actually was even though it was actually a prison to all of the players at the moment.
Right now she was not eager to head straight off to the combat zone. She was still weary from the boss fight and wanted to take a brief rest. However at the same time she wanted to try out her new golden rapier that looked very durable and strong. The first thing she did once she entered onto this new floor was head to the nearest restaurant and get a small meal. One day she wanted to get the cooking skill and utilize it effectively.
Even though nick was active when he was ascending the stone stairs to the fifth floor,
but when he reached the top, the battle he just fought caught up to him.
Damn, guess it was a bit harder then i thought.
He took a good look around. This place is so clean and white... all this marble.
The city looked breathtaking and it was the kind of place he could visit beween downtimes and bossfights.
Even if it was a virtual prison, this was the only place he wanted to be, for now.
His stomach growled, even though he wanted to go to the combat fields.
Nick started walking around and saw a store named <<MYTHellaneous Meats>>.
Why the hell not? He asked himself. Entering the store.
from the dark we can always see the light
When Mizuko appeared in floor 5 at the portal, she was amazed at everything around her. Everything looked so...... white and beautiful. Stepping off the portal, she noticed when her HP bar appeared that it had went down to 70%. Fortunately, she had already mastered <<battle healing>> and as she watched, her HP bar began to slowly recover.
She smiled when she remembered the battle in floor 4. She had wanted to get the last attack, but of course the other rapier user took it. Inside her, she actually felt happy, and glad that the boss was finally defeated. When the boss had swung the pillar towards them, she thought that that would be the last of her. "This means one step closer to victory" She whispered and continued walking.
Shortly after observing her surroundings and remembering them, she saw a sign a few feet away from where she was standing. Looking from afar, she read it. The only way to the combat field was the ferry which had just left. "Guess I have to wait for the next one." she thought and turned around. Suddenly, she heard her stomach rumble and she remembered : she haven't eaten since the entrance to the boss room! Swiping her hand in the air, her inventory poped out. Scrolling down until she reached the bottom, she realized she didn't have any food either in her inventory. Knowing that she had to eat something before the next boss battle, she walked into the town and came across a store that seemed pretty interesting. A sign hung outside labeled, " <<MYTHellaneous Meats>>". Without much thought, she entered the store.
Roses of the Night
The blue haze surrounded Vyse's vision as he was transported to the fifth floor. It soon dissipated, and Vyse felt the floor appear beneath him. As his vision cleared, he saw the wonderful city before him. The white marble shone in the early morning sun, and the spires in the distance sprouted so high that the mingled with the clouds. Beyond the stark white walls lay a sheer blue ocean, expanding further than Vyse could see.
Players had flooded the starting area, and The crowds were getting too much for Vyse. He set off into the grand city, searching for a smith or weapon shop to replace his lost sword. He wondered what treasures he could find in the new shops as he searched them one by one. Eventually, he came across a small food store named <<MYTHellaneous Meats>>, and as if in response to the shop, his stomach growled. "Couldn't hurt to stop for a meal.. he thought, and pushed open the doors.
We are soldiers, stand or die.
Black had been leaning against a wall opposite of a restaurant. He had just stood there remembering how close he had come to death. How quickly it all could have been over. The first thing that he had done was go to a weapons merchant and bought the cheapest spear he could find. His sword was good but for some reason he just felt like it wasn't exactly his fighting style. He kept his sword just in case and then he had just leaned against the wall. The other players had walked in and if there was a calling they had all gone into the same shop, for some reason he felt separate somehow. Like he wasn't quite part of the group anymore and so he hesitated before entering the shop. They got together for boss battles but other than that they hadn't really hung out or had too many reasons to be together. Feeling hungry and too tired to look for another restaurant he headed inside and looked around for the group. Might as well, and besides what he was feeling was just his imagination.
One must never forget ones past.
Stepping out of the swirling portal with a sigh of agrivation, Yuuki collapsed onto her knees. She had barely gotten to do anything last fight! She silently whistled to Olive, feeling comforted when he rested atop her shoulder, even if he was clawing at her blue hair passively. Everyone seemed to have been heading to a store; a resturaunt she presumed, since they must be tired and hungry. Something to alleviate their worries and doubts would be good for her, Yuuki was pretty sure she was starting to have a mental issue. Slowly making her way over to the small shop in the distance, making sure not to get pushed over because of the throngs of people flooding in, Yuuki chuckled slightly at the name.
"<<MYTHellaneous Meats>>, couldn't have picked anything more suspicious." She pondered, wondering about their mental health as well. Opening the door, she was met with the smell of roasted meat, and her presumptions had been right. Other people from the group were already there, talking heartily about random things. Feeling out of place, she trudged over to the table in the corner, placing Olive on the wooden counter as he made soft cooing noises.
She stroked under his chin, thinking of her brother and just what was happeing in the real world.
Most of the group that took care of the boss came into this shop,
it was like they're drawn towards it.
They we're all chatting on one table while eating.
Nick was watching quietly when he saw a female player enter, she was one of the clearers as well
and she had a pet dragon which made her stand out more.
She looked towards the group but decided to sit in the corner of the shop.
Nick got up and walked towards her.
Hey, you did good in that fight, to help us and protect your dragon.
Why not sit with the rest of the group, get to know each other better, we'll be here a while,
so better to make the best of it... right?
from the dark we can always see the light
Finding a suitable weapon Amon heads over to train only to find that the ferry is out. Looking around to see if there was a different way, he saw a peculiar looking shop on the lakeside and decided to investigate. Upon further inspection he noticed that the shop sold and rented swan paddle boats. "What is with the game and swans?" Amon chuckled. Seeing as they did not cost too much for a day rental he took one and was about to start across the lake but as he was about to get in he heard his stomach growl. "Why now?" he sighed as he got out of the boat to grab a quick bite. Looking for a place with a small line to eat he figured a place called <<MYTHellanious Meats>> wouldn't have too big a line. So as he walked in he noticed that the store was relatively bosy. Sighing Amon pushed through the crowd and looking at the menu, the only thing that looked relatively good was the swan burger. "Seriously another swan..." Amon thought as he ordered the burger. Biting the burger Amon thought that it wasn't half bad and ordered another one for later in case he got hungry while training.
Old times are good times
As the players starting piling up, Wolf began to notice how strange the food here really was. There was a definite problem though, the food was MYTHeriously delicious. Ranging from a Centaur Sandwich all the way to Hylek Wings. First, biri biri, then Nick, Mizuko, Vyse, Black, then finally Yuuki, Wolf decided to order two samplers for everyone to share and try out a little bit of everything.
Beating Wolf to the punch, Nick got up and invited Yuuki over. Wolf felt something strange when he looked over at her, it was almost like they had a past life together or something. He set those feelings aside quickly when the aroma of food invaded his nostrils.
By the time the food had arrived, which in fact didn't take very long, Wolf was starving. He quickly tried a little bit of everything, moving so fast that he pretty much blocked the hands of everyone around him, for that quick second. Soon enough he knew what he wanted to order.
"I'll take a baby dragon special," Wolf said, salivating at the thought. This meal was the most expensive on the menu and Wolf was soon to find out why. Once his dish arrived, again, very swiftly, Wolf was astonished at the size of it. A small bucket of deep fried dragon meat appeared before him along with a side of what looked to be mashed potatoes and some sort of biscuit type ordeal. "Itadakimasu!" Wolf said moment before devouring his meal.
With my blade by my side, I'm never alone.
Yuuki sat down at the main table, squashed in between Mizuko and Wolf, who, mind you, weren't all that bad to be pressed tightly against, but Wolf had a bad habit of using a little too much emphasis on his words. He swung his hands around, slapping her in the face more than once. Yuuki shrank into her seat as far as she could, trying to blot out the rest of the annoying noise with a nonexistent sigh. Nuzzling her head into Olive, her ears perked up at the mention of 'baby dragon special', practically shouted from the person next to her. She looked on with horrified eyes as he wolfed down the food, ignoring the waiter calling for her attention. Finally she got up the courage to do something, and placed her hand on his chin, pointing the still eating man's direct vision towards her. She raised her hand and brought it across the befuddled man's face, sitting back in her seat with a satisfied sigh, as she had effectlively acquiered her much needed silence.
But she could hardly be irritated at the boy for much longer, much to her surprise.
Amon was about to walk out the door when he heard a slap that echoed throughout the entire store and he turned to see what was going on. He looked at a nearby table to see a shorter looking girl with a blue dragon slap the living heck out of a much larger man who was eating a very large piece of meat. "They MUST be dating" he thought. There is no way a girl would hit a guy like that unless she had feelings for him. "Time to go fuck with people's love lives" Amon thought joyfully as he walked over and sat down next to the man who had just been slapped. "The name's Amon" he said. "What are you and your girlfriend doing in a place like this?"
Old times are good times
As Wolf's face was suddenly turned to face a most irritated Yuuki, he still had a giant piece of 'baby dragon' meat in his mouth. His eyes shifted from Yuuki's pet dragon to her now raised hand. "This can't be good," Wolf embraced for impact. Eyes closed, Wolf awaited his fateful moment. A loud sound echoed throughout the room as the attack was executed. "Did she hit me yet? Wolf thought.
He opened his eyes to see that she had returned back to her normal posture. "Tsun..... tsun..," the words unconsciously left Wolf's mouth but was soon interrupted by a passerby whose name happens to be Amon.
"Girlfriend?" Wolf said being left almost speechless. "There's no way a berserker like me could be so lucky to have such a beautiful girl for a girlfriend," Wolf said using his words wisely. Wolf was almost bipolar when it came to things like this. He could quickly change from a babbling idiot to a full on serious guy depending on the situation.
By this time, Wolf had already finished his meat and was going to devour his side dish before he was taken over by a much needed interruption. Wolf accidentally let out an overwhelming burp that completely ruined it for himself. "Great."
With my blade by my side, I'm never alone.

Quoted from the ad: "Must have a Teacher License/Teacher Registration/Sub-teacher Certificate" Having taught in a Korean public school for 2 years, I'm really interested in teaching at a Taiwanese public school. But I'm skeptical of this. I contacted another recruiter asking about this, and they said that a sub-teacher certificate isn't sufficient/that they won't place people in PS with just that. I've thoroughly searched the cafe for an answer to this question, and haven't found any definitive answer. I have read that occasionally private schools will hire a teacher and that they have the choice to hire someone without a proper teaching license. I just contacted someone from ESL-Dewey, but I was hoping that someone might have landed a PS job with a sub-teaching certificate. Regardless, I'll come back and report what I hear from the Dewey recruiter so that others might benefit.

CHICAGO — President Barack Obama won re-election Tuesday night despite a fierce challenge from Republican Mitt Romney as well as the weak economy and high unemployment that encumbered his first term and crimped the middle class dreams of millions.
"This happened because of you. Thank you" Obama tweeted to supporters' as he secured four more years in the White House.
The president sealed his victory in Ohio, Iowa, New Hampshire and Colorado, four of the nine battleground states where the two rivals and their allies spent nearly $1 billion on dueling television commercials.
Ultimately, the result of the brawl of an election campaign appeared likely to be the political status quo. Democrats won two more years of control of the Senate, and Republicans were on track to do likewise in the House.
Romney was in Massachusetts, his long and grueling bid for the presidency at an unsuccessful end.
Obama's campaign projected confidence Tuesday night as election results rolled in, but waited nervously for some of the biggest prizes to be awarded.
Obama aides said their internal numbers had them on track for victory. And staffers at the president's campaign headquarters in Chicago were cheering and high-fiving as the results came in.
Still, the campaign was laser-focused on the 18 electoral votes in Ohio, the Midwest swing state where Obama and Republican Mitt Romney competed fiercely. The Democratic ticket was optimistic about its prospects in the state where the president's bailout of the auto industry is widely popular.
Obama's team was also closely watching Florida to see if more Democratic votes materialized in a state that Obama won in 2008. Yet the president doesn't need a victory there to reach the required 270 Electoral College votes.
Obama, along with his wife and daughters, left his Chicago home around 10:30pm EST and headed to the downtown hotel where several longtime aides were watching the election results. The Obamas were expected to stay at the hotel until the race is called.
Despite their outward confidence, Obama and his aides were leaving nothing to chance. The president indulged his superstitions by engaging in a traditional Election Day basketball game with friends, as the race that will determine his political future was finally in the hands of voters.
Obama's team won, ensuring him at least one victory Tuesday.
The president kicked off Election Day with a surprise visit to a campaign office near his South Side home.
Thunderous applause from about two dozen volunteers, many with tears streaming down their faces, greeted Obama. Removing his suit coat, he sat down to make some calls to volunteers in neighboring Wisconsin. "Let's get busy," he said.
"Hopefully we'll have a good day," he said on one call. "Keep working hard all the way through."
Speaking to reporters afterward, Obama said: "We feel confident we've got the votes to win but it's going to depend ultimately on whether these votes turn out."
The president also congratulated his Republican rival Mitt Romney on running "spirited campaign", saying he knew the GOP nominee's supporters were "just as engaged, just as enthusiastic" as his own.
Late Tuesday, Michelle Obama issued a message through Twitter thanking supporters: "I am so grateful to every one of you for your support and your prayers. -mo"
The president headed into Election Day locked in a close race with Romney, according to national polls. But he appeared to have a slight edge in some key battlegrounds that will decide the contest, including Ohio, Iowa and Wisconsin.
Obama said late Tuesday in an interview with Denver television station KDVR that he had prepared both a victory speech and a concession speech for election night.
"You always have two speeches prepared because you can't take anything for granted," Obama said. Romney on Tuesday told reporters he has only prepared a victory speech.
There was no traditional Election Day photo of Obama voting Tuesday because he did so in Chicago last week, part of his campaign's effort to promote early voting. First lady Michelle Obama voted by absentee ballot.
One tradition Obama kept, however, was his Election Day basketball game.
A savvy basketball fan, Obama was joined by former Chicago Bulls star Scottie Pippen, childhood friends Mike Ramos and Marty Nesbitt, and Education Secretary Arne Duncan, a former captain of Harvard's basketball team.
Others who played included Obama's chef Sam Kass, first lady Michelle Obama's brother Craig Robinson, former Bulls player Jeff Sanders, and Alexi Giannoulias, the former Illinois state treasurer and 2010 Democratic U.S. Senate nominee.
He was expected to speak at his campaign's election night party at McCormick Place convention center.

Obama re-elected President defeats Romney after hard-fought campaign

Every Harvard student who opens a laptop to catch the latest episode of "Girls" owes a debt of gratitude to Mark Zuckerberg.
The Facebook chairman and his dorm-room buddies, who created the $64 billion social-media site at Harvard in 2004, sparked a startup culture at the university that's still gaining momentum.
One campus-hosted company, Tivli, is using software and TV-network deals to offer the HBO series and other fare to students. The startup is not only breaking a longstanding restriction on cable in Harvard's housing, it's also vying to reshape how pay-TV is delivered.
Harvard is fostering a reputation as a hotbed for innovation, working more actively than in the days of Mark Zuckerberg — or Bill Gates before him — to promote entrepreneurship and weave it into campus life.
The school's Innovation Laboratory, or i-lab, is the headquarters for Tivli and more than 100 fledgling companies founded by students and alumni.
"Harvard's attitude toward entrepreneurship today is a complete 180 from what it used to be," said Tuan Ho, who founded Tivli in 2009 with Nicholas Krasney — in their dorm room. "Now, computer-science classes encourage students to come up with ideas and take them over to the i-lab to turn them into businesses. That would never have happened years ago."
Located next to Harvard Business School in Boston, the 18-month-old i-lab also hosts student-founded companies such as RallyPoint, a networking website for military members, and Vaxess Technologies, which is working on a way to reformulate vaccines so they don't need refrigeration.
Harvard plans to use the facility as a hub of innovation for the entire university, much as the seeds for Yahoo and Google were planted in Stanford University's California computer labs. It's a way to avoid losing students like Gates, who dropped out in 1975 to found Microsoft.
"There's always been a focus around here on investment banking and consulting, but you can feel an entrepreneurial spirit sprouting," said Will Ahmed, who graduated from Harvard last year and now runs i-lab tenant Bobo, a technology and data- analysis company providing health feedback for athletes and coaches. "At Stanford, starting a company is a career path. Now it's beginning to be one here, too."
For Tivli, Harvard is both a home base and a blue-chip client.
The company provides a way for the university to offer cable channels via Internet connections, allowing students to watch on computers and tablets for free, akin to applications offered by pay-TV providers such as Time Warner Cable.
While companies such as Comcast, Dish Network and Intel are working on similar concepts, Tivli is offering its service to universities in partnerships with pay-TV providers. Users can view live and on-demand TV and are able to record shows to watch online later.
The channel lineup includes Time Warner's HBO, which sees Tivli as a way to directly market its programming to college students — a group the cable industry is concerned may never sign up for pay-TV after becoming accustomed to free online video.
Harvard is paying Tivli for its service and providing it for no extra charge to students who live on campus. That's a big shift for the university, which long resisted giving students cable TV in their rooms for philosophical reasons, Leo Donnelly, Harvard's information-technology infrastructure director, said in an interview.
The original idea was to prevent students from watching too much TV, a principle that's become impossible to enforce in the era of YouTube and Netflix.
"It used to be that Harvard had some control of the amount of video students could watch," Donnelly said. "Those days have changed."
Zuckerberg, who met with Tivli's founders when he visited the i-lab in 2011, didn't have the kind of support from Harvard that the TV startup and its cohorts now enjoy. When Facebook was getting off the ground, the university didn't adopt the site as its official online "facebook," sticking with its own less- developed house directories.
Zuckerberg declined to comment, according to Larry Yu, a Facebook spokesman.
"While student entrepreneurship has been historically less of a focus at Harvard, the university has developed a novel and innovative approach," Gordon Jones, the i-lab's managing director, said in an interview.
Facebook grew by spreading among colleges, campus to campus, a tactic Tivli is imitating.
The TV startup has struck deals with Yale University, Texas A&M University and the University of Washington, among others. Once it gets enough traction with colleges, Tivli plans to market its service to hotels and apartment complexes, according to President Christopher Thorpe.

Lots of good constructive observations above. JMHO, but I believe many of them could be guidance to changing the title of the blog article. Whenever I've used absolute terms I've always had to eat them The burden of proof was on me to show that there were no exceptions or no equally useful ways to see what I was describing. I've always lost that particular battle
Escaping that delusion is a great set of goals! I worked in something similar for most of my working career, which was all before I began practicing Buddhism, btw. If you can imagine someone trapped in samsaric processes working to relieve suffering of others, that was me - chuckle.(from the blog)...The fundamental delusion that characterizes our species in the age of barbarism is the belief that enduring happiness can be attained and sustained by bringing unhappiness to others.
My two cents worth, I wonder how many of our 6+ billion particualr species have that belief, especially that "bringing unhappiness" to others is a requirement. I don't have that motivation, for example. Even pre-Buddhism, I knew that happiness didn't require bringing unhappiness to others. Treatment could have been indicated for for persistent beliefs like that, though I may be wrongly reading how you are using the terms.
Re animals can't have an abstract concept....my dog would argue with you, then ask if you had interviewed all members of all animal species She does communicate to me that she wants to play - an abstract concept. She knows when it is time for supper or a treat and comes to get one of us if we are late according to her internal clock - then leads us to where we are supposed to be. Experiencing hunger might not be conceptual. Getting someone's attention that we are off schedule and correcting it sure seems that way. Without communicating it (a concept), she would be left simply feeling hunger, but she's learned to associate us with the process of getting fed. That association is part of the hard-wiring for survival, in most Western thought, but that process is one of forming concepts to interface with data.
So as a reader, I would take issue with "proof" and "inviolability." There are differences in the understanding of kamma/karma according to which tradition you are looking at. But just the other day I read one from Pema Chodron in her book, "Start where you are." She said that karma gives us the lessons we need to soften the heart, or words like that. I don't believe she was describing an aware process that karma chooses. It was more in line withpast karma "sets the stage" to repeat past life choices, but we can choose differently (my interpretation of what she said). I've read similar in Ajahn Chah's books, I think, that life gives us plenty to practice on each day, and that today is made (largely) of past kamma.
I don't think that is inconsistant with part of what you say. It says that the process of kamma is inviolabile - like the natural law quotes above, you can't escape physics. The results of kamma can certainly be subject to change and there's a lot written on that. I actually like the part of Tiltbillings tag line that "karma is the way to freedom (or words to that effect)" because I can choose in eadch moment to repeat the mistake or to choose the intent and my action.

The bronze is of Toussaint L'Overture and is one of my favorite sculptures by Dr. John Moossy. Haiti is on my mind and I expect I'll say a bit about the situation there. But first I left a comment at Gay Uganda's blog and it's been troubling me ever since.
As an American I don't think it's strange in the least when people I meet online from other countries are interested to find out more about the USA. But there is something a little odd about my interest in Uganda. One of the odd things about is my presumption that people outside the USA are interested in it. And that presumption goes hand in hand with a presumption that by virtue of being an American I have something interesting to say to them. Maybe, but I'm sure the problem has something to do with presumptuousness.
I got online rather late in the game, but when I did I was fascinated by the social aspects of the Web. I also quickly got hooked on searches and the range of news and informative Web sites astounded me. And I fell enthrall to cyberutopian visions. That link is to a video of David Weinberg speaking at Reboot 11. I know most people don't have time to watch yet another video, so here's my quick summary: The Internet can enable people to create something good, but to do that it requires of us activism. Ethan Zuckerman, always excellent, has written several posts on cyberutopianism and this piece provides plenty to think about contra the notion. Anyhow I got charged up along with millions of others that together online people could come together in incredible ways not possible before. I had been chatting with people online from all over, but noticed I had not chatted with anyone from Africa and so sought them out.
I first began chatting with a young man who tended a computer lab at a high school in Uganda. We've been talking ever since. One thing led to another and so I've met more people in Uganda and other African countries. In 2002 my friend from the computer lab at the high school along with his brother and other friends began forming a community based organization. Early on there were some group dynamic issues I was keen to understand better and began searching through Yahoo Groups for other Ugandan groups. In the process of doing that I became acquainted with some Ugandan activists working on behalf of gay people.
I'm not saying that my interests in Uganda is noble. What I am saying is that I see the Internet as a tool that people can use to work together to get through what we're facing. And my interest in Uganda has been sustained over for nearly ten years now primarily through online friendships with Ugandans in various parts of the country and who have their own views.
Another way I've fed my interest in Uganda is to follow Ugandan bloggers. Gay Uganda provides a voice that's rarely heard and has been doing so since 2006. The 27th Comrade is in my view a brilliant writer, but in any case clearly is wickedly smart. He rarely tends his blog Communist Socks and Boots these days, but from the title you can tell he's a communist and as such is another unusual voice among Ugandan bloggers. Comrade 27th has also left frequent comments on the blogs by Ugandans and has done much to promote cross-blog communications.
Gay Uganda has written eloquently since October about a truly horrendous Anti Homosexuality Bill pending in Uganda. Comrade 27th has been critical of Gay Uganda's encouragement of people outside Uganda to work towards the defeat of this bill. I made the mistake of leaving one of my rambling comments on one of Gay Uganda's posts. I wish I'd learn to get to the point and I guess that comes down to thinking before I post.
Comrade 27th has made the point I'll loosely summarize as the USA's foreign policy is often heinous and the culture heedless and immoral; so why should Ugandans look that direction? I'm sure I differ with Comrade 27th on a multitude of details, but I've got to give it to him that in the larger sense of it he makes a good point.
The Box Turtle Bulletin has a great page where they've listed their coverage of the issue chronologically--just click on the link BTB's Uganda Coverage. Just scrolling through their stories an understanding why Americans, even if they could care less about Uganda, ought to care about this bill can be gleaned. Americans are involved in promoting this intolerance and this agenda often has more to do with politics in the USA than Uganda.
Few people care what I think, most people think me pretty goofy, which of course I am. When I talk to my American friends about what concerns me about American politics mostly the response is that eyes roll. If I use the word "plutocracy" I hear back: "Well what else is new." When I then use the word "oligarchy" they tell me: "The correct word is plutocracy." When in exasperation I use the word "fascism", well then I'm just beyond the pale and a nut. I am a bit nutty, but in general try to avoid such generalized talk in favor of more specific topics. But that doesn't mean I think people are not acting on some very bad ideas, or to put it succinctly that there are no bad guys.
The issue of homosexuality in Uganda brings together powerful Ugandans with powerful Americans up to no good. And the story of this confluence of the powerful is long and winding. Gay Uganda has a good handle on the map of it and so it's easy for him to see common cause with people outside of Uganda. I'm with him against a vengeful oligarchy. But I'm not often very clear what to do about it. I certainly cannot presume to tell Ugandans what they ought to be doing. And 27th Comrade at least is making the case that those in the West who are totally confident they do know what to do in Uganda, are deluded. I think he's probably right about that. The real issue is not the argument but what it is that we all should be doing? Imagining how Comrade 27 would answer, he might point out that if a white guy is doing the planning, the plan probably won't help him or Uganda.
A Federal Court in San Francisco is reviewing the decision to uphold the infamous Proposition 8--a voter initiative in California retracting the right of gay people to marry. Firedoglake has extensive coverage of the trial. This trial is seen by many as a risky gamble and that if the case goes to the Supreme Court with it's very conservative majority it will be overturned regardless of the legal arguments. An expert witness for the plaintiffs testified about how the odds are stacked against legislations to ensure the rights of gay and lesbians. He pointed out that in the past 20 years legal protections agains bias-motivated on gays and lesbians have been:
The struggle for basic rights is far from complete in the USA. And the politics governing what a small minority can do in the face of an often militant majority is not easy to work out.Overturned by popular plebiscite. Initiatives have rollewd back gains. 150, not counting marriage, G&L antidiscrimination votes, in 20 years. 75% of these have lost.
I am in favor of LBGT rights in the USA. I stand for the right of adult people everywhere to be in control of their own bodies, to love who they love, and to express that love together as they consent to. How to stand up for our rights is very particular to the context. In the case of the Anti-Homosexuality Bill in Uganda I've encouraged other Americans to find out about it and to contact their political representatives. I have also tried to convince people that there is more at stake politically in this legislation than simply gay rights, that the bill inhibits rights of association and of the press. What that comes down to is basically I'm a blowhard, all talk and no action.
The safety of Gay Uganda worries me a lot. From the outside looking in, it seems to me that Comrade 27th should be an ally of Gay Uganda. Actually it seems to me that he is. As I understand Comrade 27th, he thinks that even well intentioned white people seem inevitably to diminish the personhood of Ugandans in hundreds of often trivial ways. He may be right about that, but I believe that people have the capacity to empower one another to be more fully human. And that the two points are not entirely mutually exclusive.
I don't feel like I've said anything useful in regards the thread at Gay Uganda. I've been thinking about it for days, so that probably means I'm just confused. But there's a loose connection with the situation in Haiti after the catastrophe and the Anti-Homosexual Bill in Uganda. As an America there should be no question that this country's relationships vis a vis Haiti is an ugly one. This 2006 piece in the LRB by Paul Farmer is the best short history lesson I've seen online.
Haiti is the result of a successful slave revolt. That revolution shared the ideals of the revolution that brought the USA into being and the over turning of the Ancien Regime. Europeans like to think that they invented enlightenment values. How then to incorporate Haiti? One alternative is to suggest that these are values of human invention and of shared patronage. The old order is never replaced without a struggle and the struggle for liberty and fraternity is a long one.
I'll quote Barak Obama, a politician I frequently struggle with, who is in turn quoting Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.:
"Dr. King once said that the arc of the moral universe is long but it bends towards justice. It bends towards justice, but here is the thing: it does not bend on its own. It bends because each of us in our own ways put our hand on that arc and we bend it in the direction of justice...."I believe all of our hands matter. Growing up in where I have and how I have means that I must be responsible. We all must be. We can find ways to struggle together.

Tufts University: 'Cox' T-shirt
Category: Free Speech
Schools: Tufts University
In April 2012, members of the men's crew team wore T-shirts at Tufts' Spring Fling featuring a silhouette of a rowing team on a boat and the phrase "check out our cox" (referring to a boat's coxswain). According to multiple accounts, several members were suspended from the team after a bias incident report was submitted due to the shirt's content, two senior captains were removed from their positions, and team members had to write apology letters. The accounts reported a dean exerting disciplinary pressure on the team, stating that the shirts promoted rape and aggression toward women. Additionally, a confidential source reported to FIRE that Tufts' rowing director ordered his assistants to choose a punishment, which he and the dean's office would then approve. After intervention from FIRE, Tufts President Tony Monaco reinstated the suspended members of the men's crew team in May 2012.

Free Speech at Tufts University "Deja Vu" All Over Again
Boring Campuses: Not Just the Fault of Helicopter Parents
April 16, 2014
In a new article, Slate's Rebecca Schuman laments the phenomenon of colleges and universities becoming toned-down, less playful, even boring. Schuman argues that this is in part due to parents over-planning their kids' lives, leaving them incapable of finding creative ways to have fun when they're older and on their own: A recent trip back to my beloved alma mater, Vassar—combined with my interactions with students where I teach and some disappointing sleuthing—has made it apparent that much of the unstructured free play at college seems to have disappeared in favor of pre-professional anxiety, coupled with the nihilistic, homogeneous partying […]» Read More
Tufts President Responds to FIRE in 'Cox' Case
May 10, 2012
Tufts University President Anthony P. Monaco has replied to FIRE's letter of May 2 regarding the suspension of several members of the Tufts men's crew team due to their "check out our cox" T-shirts. In an email to FIRE, Monaco states that the Tufts administration (at least from the decanal level or above) did not pressure the coaching staff to take action. If we learn any new, credible information to the contrary, we will report it. President Monaco also wrote: I can assure you that our coaches share with Tufts University and me a strong commitment to the principle of […]» Read More
Victory at Tufts after Crew Team Members Suspended for 'Cox' T-shirts
May 4, 2012
Facing a rising tide of criticism and intervention from FIRE, Tufts University President Tony Monaco reinstated the suspended members of the men's crew team late on Thursday, just in time for this weekend's New England Rowing Championships. After the members wore T-shirts reading "check out our cox" (referring to a team's coxswain), the university had suspended them, pressed as many as four team captains to resign, and asked the members to deliver apologies for the "offense" caused by the T-shirts. Kudos to President Monaco for honoring Tufts' commitment to free speech. As I described yesterday in The Huffington Post, the […]» Read More
Censorship of 'Cox' T-shirt Creates Waves of Outrage as FIRE Intervenes
May 3, 2012
My FIRE colleague (and Tufts University alumna) Alison Meyer blogged yesterday about a fast-developing controversy at Tufts, where the men's crew team has been punished for a rather tame double entendre printed on a T-shirt for Spring Fling (below). All involved rowers have been barred from rowing in this weekend's New England Championships, and two senior captains have been removed from their positions. The "cox" in question is, of course, a reference to the crew team's coxswain. Nonetheless, the T-shirt was reported to Tufts under the university's bias incident policy, which allows complaints to be submitted anonymously, and a Tufts […]» Read More
Tufts Cuts Off 'Cox' T-shirt
May 2, 2012
The administration of Tufts University, whose infamy for disregarding the basic rights of its students and faculty members has landed the college a spot on FIRE's Red Alert list, has added another incident to its roster of abuses. This time, allegedly under disciplinary pressure from a dean, the director of Tufts' men's crew team not only suspended the entire team from racing at a championship event scheduled for this weekend, but also removed two students from the position of captain-all because of this T-shirt: The crew team had created this T-shirt for the school's annual "Spring Fling," an outdoor concert.
