Dr. Howard Chudacoff Lectures on the Bachelor Sub-cultureby Royce Gregerson '09 • February 22, 2006 Share:
He wakes up and quietly leaves his sleeping quarters, a long, open room with stacked bunks. Others rise with him, others still sleep. After a long week of intense work, shared meals, and physical exhaustion, he spends his weekends bonding with his friends, drinking and commiserating on their bad luck with women. No, he is not a Wabash man. He is a bachelor at the turn of the twentieth century.
Brown University historian Dr. Howard Chudacoff introduced students and faculty members Feb 21 to the sub-culture of the bachelor around the turn of the century. According to Chudacoff, bachelors from all social classes lived in boarding or lodging houses and often took meals in the house or at eating establishments frequented almost exclusively by men. Bachelors spent their free time in saloons, pool halls, and barber shops. They spent almost every waking moment surrounded almost exclusively by men.
"Every direction [Dr. Chudacoff's] presentation took reminded me of Wabash," said Dan Gillespie '08, himself a Phi Kappa Psi. "He totally mirrored fraternity life and communal living, especially in the way we develop friendships, such as how many of us feel comfortable hugging in public."
Chudacoff began his presentation by analyzing the role models of American bachelors. According to him, upper class bachelors looked up to Theodore Roosevelt as a model of woodsmanship and masculinity. Lower class bachelors esteemed the independence of prize fighter John L. Sullivan.
"He would walk into a saloon and say, 'My name is John Sullivan and I can lick any son of a bitch who is here.' Lower class men of the day wanted to escape the domestic obligations and respectability of the patriarchal family, just like Sullivan," Chudacoff said.
In 1890, 40 percent of men over the age of 15 were bachelors, and two thirds of men aged 15 to 34 were unmarried as well. Rates were even higher among urban males. However, by 1960, only 22 percent of men were unmarried, but the rate is on the rise today.
"The initial statistics began my fascination with the life of the bachelor," Chudacoff said. "I was researching the history of the family, and when I came across those statistics I had to wonder what their affects were on society. With more men remaining bachelors now, I think it's even more important to understand the roots of bachelorhood.
Students connected most, though, with Chudacoff descriptions of bachelor life.
Chudacoff spoke of boarding house residents defining their relationships "like brothers."
"Bachelors established quasi-familial and loving relationships for social support," Chudacoff said. "There were also many instances where older bachelors would introduce younger men in the complexities and intricacies of bachelor life."
In saloons, bachelors, men escaped work and loneliness and defined their manhood and identity. Chudacoff also discussed how frequent attendees of saloons developed nicknames for each other, evoking the familiar concept of fraternity pledge names.
"Bachelors epitomized an independence that threatened their existence," Chudacoff said. "Many people in the greater city felt scared of the bachelor part of town." Afterward, Gillespie noticed how this concept of misunderstood identity mirrors the Wabash environment.
"I know there are many people in the community who don't understand or are even afraid of Wabash," he said. "I think living as a bachelor is a lot like being a Wabash student in Crawfordsville."
Chudacoff also met with students from 10 to 11 Wednesday morning for conversation. Chudacoff's book on the bachelor, The Age of the Bachelor: Creating an American Subculture, was published in 1999.
Chudacoff's appearance was sponsored by the Gender Issues Committee and the Hadley Fund.
Gregerson is a Wabash College freshman and writer for the student newspaper, The Bachelor.

Mumbai, Feb 18: Lisa Sthalekar, member of the newly-crowned ICC Women's World Cup champion Australia team, has announced her retirement from international cricket.
The Australian all-rounder's announcement follows her team's triumph in the World Cup final win in India Sunday, beating the West Indies by 114 runs. In her final match for Australia, Sthalekar took 2-20 and wrapped up the win with a fine catch to dismiss the last West Indian batter.
Sthalekar made her international debut in 2001 in a One Day International (ODI) match against England. She went on to play for Australia in eight Tests, 125 ODIs and 54 Women's T20 International matches.
The talented all-rounder made a name for herself with both the bat and ball. She has amassed a total of 416 Test runs, 2728 ODI runs and 769 T20I runs. Her bowling statistics are equally impressive, having claimed 23 wickets at Test level, 146 at ODI level and 60 in T20I matches. She was the first woman to score 1,000 runs and take 100 wickets in ODIs.
When rankings were introduced, Sthalekar was regarded as the leading all-rounder in the world. The 33-year-old is currently ranked the number one T20 all-rounder and bowler in the world and holds the number two ranking for ODI all-rounders and bowlers.
Sthalekar has been recognised with a number of awards, including her nomination for the ICC Women's Player of the Year in 2007 and 2008 and the ICC Women' s T20 Player of the Year in 2012.
She has also enjoyed a great deal of success with the national side, having been a part of the winning teams in the World Cup in 2005 and 2013 and the World Twenty20 in 2010 and 2012.
Sthalekar said the decision to retire from international cricket did not come easy.
"To finish my international career by playing in a successful ICC Women's World Cup in the country of my birth is quite special for me," Sthalekar said.
"I feel that this is the right time for me to retire and I've been fortunate to be able to represent Australia for as long as I have and to have been a part of some very successful teams.
"Women's cricket has changed a lot during my time in the game and it's been an honour to witness this evolution first hand. We have seen at this year's World Cup that the standard of women's cricket across the world has grown immensely in the last few years alone."

Opinion: Withdrawing the U.S. from the Iran nuclear deal is the right move
EDITOR'S NOTE: Boris Epshteyn formerly served as a Senior Advisor to the Trump Campaign and served in the White House as Special Assistant to The President and Assistant Communications Director for Surrogate Operations.
WASHINGTON (Sinclair Broadcast Group) - President Trump is withdrawing the United States from the 2015 Iran nuclear deal and re-imposing sanctions on Iran.
This is the right move. The original agreement with Iran was a mistake.
Iran is widely reported to still be working on its nuclear program. Beyond nuclear capability, Iran has continued to develop ballistic missiles, cause and support unrest throughout the Middle East and fund terror groups such as Hezbollah and Hamas.
The nuclear deal directly gave billions of dollars to Iran. Billions more flowed into Iran because of the of unfreezing of bank accounts around the world and new international business for the country as a result of the lifted sanctions.
Iran's initial reaction will be to talk tough. Do not let their words scare you. It is Iran's wrongdoings up to now which are scary. Those have to be stopped.
Going forward, the Iranian regime definitely does not want to see sanctions come back in full force. The large-scale sanctions will cripple the Iranian economy and could cause the Iranian people to finally topple their dictatorial government.
Here is the bottom line: any safety that the current Iran deal seems to provide is fake. The agreement appeased Iran and allowed it to basically do whatever it wants. As we have seen with North Korea, rogue states respond best to strength and power. This withdrawal now gives America and our allies a real chance to pressure Iran to destroy its nuclear program forever and to stop its dangerous activity on all fronts, not just nuclear.

Pointless Stats: Number Of Patents Held By Apple, Google And HTC
from the that's-not-how-it-works dept
More troubling is the report's conclusion:
"While litigation appears to be an increasingly common cost of doing business," he concludes, "we view Apple's willingness to aggressively defend its patent portfolio favorably and welcome the defense of its IP."Historically, this is generally not a good sign. It's usually a sign that a company has run into an innovation stumbling block, and doesn't think it can really continue to innovate at the pace the market is expecting, so it seeks to hold back competitors and pump up revenue through litigation, rather than innovation. A smart research report would note that breaking out the offensive patent lawsuits is generally a warning sign. But, then again, this is a research report that thinks the overall number of patents a tech company has is a meaningful metric.

The State Institute for Nature Protection of Croatia and the Croatian Academy of Sciences and Arts have launched two bird conservation publications of great importance, the Red Book of Birds of Croatia and the Croatian Bird Migration Atlas. On this occasion, all the so far published Red lists and Red data books of Croatia were exhibited, celebrating the 50th anniversary of The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species™.
The Red Book of Birds of Croatia (eds. V.Tutiš, J.Kralj, D.Radović, D.Ćiković and S.Barišić) published by the Ministry of Environmental and Nature Protection and the State Institute for Nature Protection of Croatia, represents the foundation for the protection of bird populations in the country. It evaluates the vulnerability of each bird species nesting, wintering or regularly migrating across Croatia and reveals that 39% of 235 evaluated nesting bird species are facing the risk of extinction, being listed as Critically Endangered, Endangered or Vulnerable.
The Croatian Bird Migration Atlas (eds. J.Kralj, S.Barišić, V.Tutiš and D.Ćiković) published by the Croatian Academy of Sciences and Arts reveals the results of a 100-year long ringing project (1910-2010) in Croatia, during which 1.163.962 birds have been marked. The atlas offers an insight into the dynamics and routes of Croatian birds' migration, as well as the European populations migrating over or wintering in Croatia. "The Red lists/data books are the contemporary tools we apply to measure the extinction rate of biodiversity," said Dr Matija Franković, Director of the State Institute for Nature Protection of Croatia opening the publications' launch on 5 March in Zagreb.
The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species™ is widely recognized as the most comprehensive, objective global approach for evaluating the conservation status of plant and animal species. It is a "living tool" which requires permanent revision, so that it can reflect the possible changes of the species' conservation status. First Red lists and Red data books of Croatia were published in the 90's. However, since 2000 a more systematic approach in line with the IUCN Red List Criteria has been taken, resulting in 19 Red Lists and 11 Red Books published so far.
"The two recently launched publications are key for assuring a science-based approach to species conservation," said Mr Boris Erg, Director of IUCN Programme Office for South-Eastern Europe. "It is our pleasure to see the continuous progress on Red Lists development in Croatia. However, the figures reveal that there is a need for less pressure on biodiversity if we want to see the bird populations on the path of recovery," Mr Erg added.
Throughout 2014 a significant contribution of The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species™ in guiding conservation action and policy decisions over the past 50 years is celebrated. In this period many species groups including mammals, amphibians, birds, reef building corals and conifers have been comprehensively assessed. However, there is much more to be done and increased investment is needed urgently to build The IUCN Red List into a more complete 'Barometer of Life'. To do this the number of species assessed from the current count of 71,576 to at least 160,000 has to be increased by 2020, improving the taxonomic coverage and thus providing a stronger base to enable better conservation and policy decisions.

New valve cover gaskets are often the cure for messy oil leaks. OPGI has two solutions to choose from in order to keep the oil where it belongs. Standard thickness 3/16" rubber gaskets are a great choice for all standard applications. Also available are extra-thick 5/16" cork gaskets, which provide necessary clearance with some roller rockers or poly locks. The extra material is a great alternative to costly spacers and is a great idea when installing new valve covers.

I really love these mauvey/pinks/maroon colors on you. It's your JAM.
I grew up riding horses, so I have so many of these pants around my house. I just can't bring myself to wearing them casually. It's like they're already associated with riding and I can't think of them as stylish on me.
You however are rocking them with those runners legs of yours. The WHOLE SHEBANG is A+ work Amanda.

Oh hey.
Me again.
I think this is the best outfit I've ever seen on the internet.
I am so in love with that blouse and its haphazard tuck-in. The VINTAGE riding pants, and your hair, the flats. Dear me, it's literally perfect.
I hate to be so crude and vulgar, but were I Matt, I would have ravished you this day. True story.

This goes to show it is the pizza maker, not the oven, that succeeds. I love the crumb. What was the final temperature?John
Way old topic, but I have finally modded my pizza oven. Though I would like to repeat that this is NOT a G3 Ferrari Oven. It is a Bestron DLD9070. Edit: Actually, browsing that topic you linked, it seems this Bestron (which is really like a budgetbrand here in the Netherlands) is a rebranded or perhaps a copy version of the G3 Ferrari Fantasia..Even with the previous mod, the bottom part did get really hot, like, crisp charred bottom of the pizza in a minute or so. But the top.. It was my opinion that the top of the oven does not have enough heat capacity. When you open the oven and add your pizza on the stone, if the thermostat does not switch on then, the elements stay off, and the top part cools down rapidly by opening. So I have managed to insert another stone in the oven! I took a Dr.Oetker 33 cm round and 1 cm thick stone (12 euros) and used my angle grinder to cut of a 3cm edge round the entire stone. Now it fits behind the top element in the oven. I then was planning to drill holes in the stone, so the heat elements screws could go where they originally went, and fixating the stone at the same time. Unfortunately, disaster struck, and the stone cracked right down the middle with drilling hole nr 1.. However, the other two went fine, and the two halves were even easier to install. It was a bit of a tug to get some (longer) screws secured, but all in all, I am satisfied with the result.Been testheating it for a while, runs fine now. Gave a few shortouts earlier, but that turned out to be moist from the top stone that was in it because I used the tap to get rid of the dust on it. It was being expelled by the heat and dripping inside the housing .The Ultimate Bestron Pizza Oven Mod:
Very nice MaximusTG, that was exactly the idea I came up with when reading all things about modding those bestron's, i.e. to put a stone in the upper part. Did you also swap the heat elements/rings?And what do you mean by 'shortouts', moist and dust? Sources of a short-circuit?

In the face of a heightened focus on aircraft emissions reduction in the industry, electric-powered and hybrid aircraft, as well as aircraft that use biofuels, offer viable alternatives. This blog has explored the development of the electric aircraft before in "Electric Aircraft May Soon be the Standard in the Business Aviation Industry." Recently, the development of electric aircraft took another step with the announcement that European helicopter maker AgustaWestland has built and flown the world's first electric tilt-rotor aircraft.
Named "Project Zero," the aircraft employs two electric-powered rotors, one on each wing. The rotors, which are located within the wingspan, can be rotated more than 90 degrees so that they can be used for lift-off and as propellers during normal flight. This model is completely electric; however, AgustaWestland is considering a hybrid model that uses a diesel engine. For more information, please visit AgustaWestland's website.

A week after an outage at Amazon's Web Services business that crippled the online movie streaming service of Netflix, the Web retail giant issued a lengthy explanation for the event — with an apology.
Quick recap: Amazon has a large and fast-growing business unit called AWS for short (Amazon Web Services) that offers a variety of services for businesses, such as data storage and cloud-based application processing. Netflix is one of AWS' most high-profile clients, and uses the service to stream movies and TV shows to Netflix users over TVs, tablets, smartphones and other devices. Amazon offers a movie streaming service of its own, though the company says it runs AWS as a separate entity from its main retail business, driving this point home with a 10-minute appearance by Netflix CEO Reed Hastings during a keynote at an AWS conference in Las Vegas last month.
The outage in question crippled the Netflix streaming service on Christmas Eve for several hours. Netflix said at the time that the outage was caused by a problem at AWS, which has spent the last week investigating the problem.
In its statement Monday, Amazon detailed the problem. The statement is long on technical jargon, but basically says the problem was caused by the inadvertent deletion of some data by an unnamed developer client who had rare, high-level access to make such changes. Amazon said it has made changes to its system and protocols to prevent further such occurrences – and to speed up recovery in any future events.
"We know how critical our services are to our customers' businesses, and we know this disruption came at an inopportune time for some of our customers," the statement read. "We will do everything we can to learn from this event and use it to drive further improvement in the ELB (elastic load balancing) service."
The effect of the outage on Amazon's business is unclear, and will likely remain that way, at least until the company reports fourth-quarter results sometime in late January. The segment containing the AWS business accounted for about 4% of the company's total revenue for the nine-month period ended Sept. 30, up from about 3.5% in the same period last year.

I can give my life for Pakistan: Pervez Musharraf
Refutes newspaper report that claimed his return was result of understanding brokered with Nawaz Sharif's party and facilitated by Saudi government. Musharraf: Pakistani ex-dictator back in line of fireworld Updated: Mar 25, 2013 03:28 IST
Amid death and arrest threats, former president of Pakistan Pervez Musharraf returned to the country on Sunday.
"I am here to save Pakistan," Mushrraf told the media at the Karachi airport where over thousand supporters had gathered to cheer their leader.
However, due to security reasons, the former military ruler was whisked away soon after his arrival.
Musharraf: Pakistani ex-dictator back in line of fire
Musharraf: Pakistani ex-dictator back in line of fire
Talking to journalists at the airport, he said that he faced a number of challenges on his return: "I face political challenges, security challenges and legal challenges," he said.
Musharraf has already been granted pre-arrest bail in several cases.
Earlier, it was reported in an English newspaper that the retired general had arrived after an understanding was brokered with Nawaz Sharif's PML-N party, which was facilitated by the Saudi government. However, when asked, Musharraf refused to comment on this and said that as a Pakistani citizen he had a right to return to his homeland as and when he wished. But he did add that the Saudis were insisting that he not return under the present circumstances.
Addressing his supporters at the airport, Musharraf said that this was not the Pakistan he had left when he went into exile. "We were a strong nation then. Look what we have been reduced to by the present rulers," he said. He also lamented the fact that his party was denied permission to hold a rally in the city center for security reasons.
Musharraf will stay in Karachi and has based his headquarters at a local hotel here. He told his supporters that he would discuss administrative matters and settle party issues before proceeding to Rawalpindi and Lahore. "I am confident that my supporters will now come out and support me. I am sure that my presence in Pakistan will be a source of strength to them."
Musharraf said that he had been advised by many not to return to Pakistan, especially after the threat issued by the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP). But he said that he had stayed away too long. "I can give my life for Pakistan. In the past too I have put everything at take for Pakistan," he told journalists.

(NewsUSA) – Now more than ever before, Americans face a new reality regarding their health coverage. As a result, it's so important to understand your choices.
A recent report by Healthgrades, an online resource for comprehensive information about physicians and hospitals, reveals how hospital selection can dramatically affect a patient's health. Understandably so, individuals are far more likely to die or suffer complications at hospitals receiving lower ratings.
Given that health care coverage is the focal point of many conversations these days, the report prompts new discussions around the steps consumers need to take.
"We urge consumers to do their homework when picking a plan to find out which physicians are covered and whether … the physician practices at a hospital with a low risk of mortality or complications," says Roger Holstein, CEO of Healthgrades. "Picking a plan is not just about cost," he adds, "consumers should pick their providers before choosing a plan and Healthgrades should be their first stop."
Sadly, most people are unaware that their choice of a physician is directly linked to the their choice of a hospital, and in turn, its importance in predicting better outcomes.
Highlighting this point is a recent study by Harris Interactive, which found that fewer than half of Americans over age 26 gather extensive and detailed information before selecting a hospital or physician, and are more likely to choose a hospital based on convenience or copay versus quality data. Yet, the decision could mean the difference between life and death.
"Consumers need accurate information to make meaningful choices between plans," says Archelle Georgiou, M.D., strategic advisor to Healthgrades. "With the Affordable Care Act expanding access to care, it's more important than ever to understand your options, including the quality of care offered at the hospitals and affiliated physicians in your plan."
Interestingly, the Healthgrades report notes that better quality can result in lower overall costs, stating that the direct costs of caring for a patient who experiences a complication are, on average, nearly two times the cost of caring for those patients who did not experience a problem.

2014 Volvo V60: New York Auto Show
What is it?
The 2014 Volvo V60 is a five-door, midsize station wagon based on Volvo's S60 sedan. On sale in Europe since 2011, the V60 is now coming to the U.S. to bolster Volvo's lineup. Powertrain specs are unknown, but we think it will offer the same engines as the S60. That means a 250-horsepower turbocharged five-cylinder in the base-level V60 T5, with standard front-wheel drive or optional all-wheel drive. The V60 T6 will have a 300-hp turbocharged six-cylinder and standard all-wheel drive. Reportedly, a plug-in hybrid is also coming, which would be Volvo's first-ever hybrid.
How much?
Pricing isn't official, but we expect the V60 to be slightly more expensive than the S60. The S60 T5 starts around $32,500, while the T6 starts around $41,000. Pricing for the V60 plug-in hybrid is unknown.
When can you get it?
The V60 should arrive early next year; the plug-in hybrid should come soon after.
Add it to your shopping list because...
To create the 2014 Volvo V60, Volvo took its S60 sedan and added more room in back. That means the V60 retains all of the S60's virtues -- like its comfortable seats and great engines -- and adds more cargo space. Shoppers who don't need all-wheel drive can get by with the V60 T5, while drivers looking for muscular power will enjoy the 300-hp V60 T6 AWD. The V60 will also likely include the S60's standard features, meaning items like Volvo's City Safety braking system and WHIPS whiplash protection front headrests will come at no charge. Shoppers looking at luxury sedans who could use a little extra space might want to consider the V60.
Other cars to consider:
Acura TSX Sport Wagon: A five-door TSX Sport Wagon joined Acura's lineup for the 2012 model year. It starts around $32,000, making it the cheapest upscale wagon available. But its 201-hp 4-cylinder may leave enthusiast drivers wanting more.
Audi Allroad: The new Audi allroad boasts increased ground clearance over the previous A4 Avant. With standard all-wheel drive, it's a direct competitor to small crossovers and the V60. Its only drawback is a price that starts above $40,000.
BMW 3-Series Wagon: A wagon bodystyle joins the popular 3-Series lineup this year. With rear or available all-wheel drive and a turbocharged 4-cylinder, the 3-Series wagon will be one of the V60's sportiest rivals.
Used Mercedes E350 Wagon: The E350 wagon is larger than the V60 and comes with standard all-wheel drive. With 302hp, it's also more powerful -- even compared to the V60 T6. But with a starting price of more than $58,000, a certified pre-owned model is a better match for the V60.

DOYLESTOWN (PA) – Delaware Valley College scored 42 unanswered points and blanked Division III's second-highest scoring team in the second half as the 12th-ranked Aggies routed archrival Widener University, 56-28, for a perfect 10-0 regular-season, sole possession of the Middle Atlantic Conference (MAC) championship and the league's automatic berth to the NCAA Division III playoffs.
It is just the third 10-0 record in program history as the 2011 edition joins the 2004 and 2005 squads on the exclusive list. The MAC title, of which a share was assured with last week's win at Lycoming, is the fourth straight while the team will head to the postseason for the third consecutive year.
The win also puts Delaware Valley in a position where it possibly could be one of the top four seeds for the upcoming, 32-team playoff. The Aggies will find out for sure where they are seeded and who they will host for next Saturday's first-round contest when the NCAA holds a webcast at ncaa.com on Sunday evening at 6:00 p.m.
So much was on the line in the game as Widener entered with an 8-1 record and was looking for its first conference crown and NCAA berth since 2007. Instead, they will more than likely compete in an ECAC Bowl Game. Delaware Valley also reclaimed the Keystone Cup, the trophy that is handed out annually to the winner of the contest, after losing it last season.
The Aggies racked up 580 yards of total offense with freshman quarterback Aaron Wilmer leading the way. The rookie completed 17 of 31 passes for 333 yards and four touchdowns and also rushed for 56 yards and a score.
Meanwhile the Delaware Valley defense held the powerful Pride to 319 yards, including just 141 yards in the second half. Widener was averaging 49.1 points and 460 yards heading into Saturday.
The Pride used their strong special teams play to score two touchdowns in a 42-second span in the second quarter for a 28-14 lead. Laquan Robinson, who burned the Aggies for a punt return for a touchdown in last year's upset, did it again as he brought a boot back 51 yards for a score. It was his second punt return for a score this season and the fifth for the team.
The ensuing kickoff got hung up in the wind, bounced on the ground and was fielded poorly by a Delaware Valley player. Widener's Marquis Stewart pounced on the loose ball and the Pride took over at the Aggie 24-yard line. Three plays later, Terrant Morrison scored on a two-yard touchdown run for the 28-14 advantage with 5:22 remaining in the first half.
From there, it was all Delaware Valley. It started with the ensuing drive as the Aggies took over at their 35 and needed just three plays to reach the Widener 18-yard line. They netted seven yards over the next three plays and faced a fourth-and-three when Wilmer hit Rodney Blango with a seven pass to move the chains. Kyle Schuberth rushed for two yards on each of the next carries, the last putting him in the end zone with 1:12 left in the half. Jake Sobchak added the extra point as the Aggies trailed by just seven, 28-21, at the intermission.
The Pride received the opening kickoff of the second half and moved into Delaware Valley territory before stalling. A Kevin Huelster punt trapped the Aggies as it was downed at the six-yard line.
Delaware Valley responded by putting together a 10-play, 94-yard scoring drive to tie the game with 7:51 to go in the third. Twice, it faced third-and-long and twice Wilmer hit Blango. The first was for 18 yards on a third-and-nine and the second was a 51-yard catch-and-run on a third-and-15 that put the ball at Widener seven-yard line. After Wilmer gained two yards with his legs, he then hit Tyler Neal out of the backfield for a five-yard touchdown.
The Pride went three-and-out and the Aggies took over just past midfield. Their ground attack netted all 48 yards on the drive and Wilmer capped it with an 18-yard sprint into the end zone and the team's first lead of the game at 35-28 with 3:15 left in the quarter.
Widener quickly moved downfield and reached the Aggie 12-yard line where it faced a fourth-and-two. However, Chris Haupt's pass to Anthony Clayton fell incomplete and the Pride turned the ball over on downs as the third quarter came to an end.
With Delaware Valley throwing into the wind, the Aggies had a second-and-14 from the eight-yard line. Wilmer found Lewis Vincent on a crossing pattern and Vincent raced 61 yards before being horse-collared at the Widener 31. The penalty on the tackle moved the ball up 15 yards and, after a one-yard run by Kyle Schuberth, Wilmer found Chris Ruiz all along in the end zone for his third passing touchdown of the game. Sobchak's extra-point upped the Delaware Valley advantage to 42-28 with 13:34 on the clock.
On the first play after the ensuing possession, Haupt was intercepted by Ken Fowlkes and the senior linebacker returned it 35 yards to the Pride 13-yard line. The Aggies faced a third-and-10 when Wilmer found another wide-open receiver in the end zone, this time senior Isaiah Hall, for a three-touchdown lead with 12:10 remaining.
After Widener turned the ball over on downs at the Delaware Valley 27-yard line, the Aggie offense went back to work and put together a seven-play, 73-yard scoring drive. Neal capped the drive and put an exclamation point on the win as the senior raced 40 yards for a touchdown and a 56-28 score with 5:47 left in the game. Delaware Valley then just had to kill the clock to celebrate its championship and NCAA berth.
The teams combined for four touchdowns and a 14-14 score in the first 16 minutes of the contest. Widener's first possession saw Morrison cap a 59-yard drive with a 46-yard sprint down the left sideline for the advantage just 3:20 in. Delaware Valley matched it as a nine-play, 56-yard drive culminated in a four-yard scoring run by Schuberth with 8:11 left in the opening quarter.
Later in the first, the Pride needed just a one-play scoring drive a Haupt found a streaking Cedric Clayton for a 47-yard touchdown with 2:31 on the clock. The Aggies responded with a nine-play, 82-yard possession that Wilmer completed with a 24-yard strike to Vincent just 34 seconds into the second quarter. Widener followed with its strong special teams play and a 28-14 lead before Delaware Valley took control and never looked back.
Schuberth carried the ball 24 times for 90 yards and two scores and the sophomore will enter the playoffs just 13 yards of the 1,000-yard mark. Neal had 70 yards and a score on six carries while also catching a touchdown toss. Blango made six grabs for 122 yards while Vincent had four receptions for 121 yards. Defensively, Chris Vega led the team with seven tackles while John Robinson and Ken Fowlkes combined for 11 tackles and two interceptions.
For Widener, Haupt completed 29 of 52 passes for 267 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions. Cedric Clayton caught 10 passes for 112 yards and score while Dom DePasquale added six grabs for 64 yards. Morrison ran just six times for 54 yards and two touchdowns. Dylan Ditmer paced the defensive effort with 11 tackles while Joe Wojceichowski added nine stops and one sack.

MIAMI — A byzantine maze of maritime rules and regulations, fragmented oversight and a patchwork of nations that do business with cruise lines make it tough for consumers to assess the health and safety rec-ord of the ship they're about to board in what for many is the vacation of a lifetime.
Want to know about a ship's track record for being clean? Or assess how sanitary the food is? It's not easy to find, in part because there's no one entity or country that oversees or regulates the industry with its fleet of ships that are like mini- cities floating at sea.
In the case of Carnival Cruise Lines, the owner of the Carnival Triumph that spent days in the Gulf of Mexico disabled after an engine fire, the company is incorporated in Panama, its offices are based in Miami and its ships fly under the Bahamian flag.
For potential passengers seeking ship information, there's no central database that can be viewed to determine a track record of safety or health inspections. No one agency regulates everything from the cruise line's mechanical worthiness to the sanitation of its kitchens.
The U.S. Coast Guard inspects each cruise ship that docks in the U.S. every year for a range of issues, from operation of backup generators to the lifeboats. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention maintains a database of recent disease outbreaks and other health-inspection information for cruise ships.
Had Triumph vacationers looked up information about the cruise ship through those two agencies before boarding, they would have found mostly clean marks.
Records for the Triumph show it was last inspected by the CDC's Vessel Sanitation Program on July 7. It scored 96 out of 100.
When something goes wrong, as it did on Triumph, the Coast Guard is limited in how much it can investigate.
These are not new issues — they had been raised by members of Congress before the Triumph incident.
"This horrible situation involving the Carnival Triumph is just the latest example in a long string of serious and troubling incidents involving cruise ships," said Sen. Jay Rockefeller, D-W.Va., who led a committee hearing on cruise safety last year.
Last year, after the Costa Concordia ran aground off the coast of Giglio, Italy, Rockefeller held a Commerce Committee hearing to examine deficiencies in the cruise-line industry's compliance with federal safety, security and environmental standards and review industry regulations.
"As I remarked then, they seem to have two lives: One is at port, where the Coast Guard can monitor their operations; the other is at sea, where it appears once they are beyond 3 nautical miles from shore, the world is theirs," Rockefeller said in a letter he wrote last week to Adm. Robert J. Papp Jr., the commandant of the Coast Guard.

Lexington grad Alex Tanney under center for Cowboys
Quarterback Alex Tanney, a former all-stater at Lexington, made an appearance on national television Sunday night when the Dallas Cowboys faced the Miami Dolphins in the Hall of Fame Game in Canton, Ohio. Tanney, shown here handing the ball off to running back Joseph Randle, quarterbacked the Cowboys the entire second half. The Division III all-American from Monmouth College is trying to make the team as a backup to starter Tony Romo and second-string QB Kyle Orton. He is battling Nick Stephens for the third-strong roster spot. Stephens quarterbacked the first half of Dallas' 24-20 victory over the Dolphins.

I was watching TV in bed a few weeks ago and was about to turn in when PBS announced a Nova special: Engineering Ground Zero. The program was so interesting that I stayed up to watch it.
This program isn't so much about what happened 9/11, 2001, it is about the rebuilding of this 16-acre site.
The film is inspiring, hopeful, with leaders who are full of innovative ideas that will amaze you!
Yes, when they first began talking about rebuilding a skyscraper, I admit, I thought they had lost their minds! But after seeing this film, I feel very reassured and that is why I wanted to write this post, to share with you what I learned from this program.
There were many bitter disagreements, starts and stops in this rebuilding process, but when momentum took hold, Michael Arad was chosen as the architect and designer of the 9/11 Memorial. It was a design that was chosen out of 5,000 entries.
In no particular order, the film mainly covers:
The 9/11 Memorial (the cascading pools)
The MemorialPlaza (includes the 400 trees)
One WorldTradeCenter (the skyscraper)
The underground massive museum
The steel
The concrete
The glass panels
The bronze panels
The 9/11 Memorial
The Memorial is a phenomenal structure of two flowing water pools where the twin towers had been. I get goose bumps when I think about it because water has so much significance when you think about it. To me it signifies cleansing, purity, sustenance, life, and healing properties. Each of these pools is 30,000 square feet, almost an acre of void. The design calls for 52,000 gallons of water to cascade over the walls every minute, drop 30 feet, and disappear into a second, inner pool. What Arad created was brilliant, genius!
The Bronze Panels
Names of the 2,982 individuals whose lives were lost are not listed alphabetically, but by the locations where individuals died: the South Tower, the North Tower, Flights 11, 93, 77, 175 and the Pentagon. First responders and those who died in the 1993 attacks are also grouped together. One-hundred-fifty-two bronze panels will surround the pools with these names.
For fifty percent of the people that are on the Memorial, no remains were found, so this is going to be, for many families and many loved ones, the place that they will go on those special days: the birthdays, anniversaries. Unfortunately, this is the final resting place of the deceased.
They wanted the memorial part of the site to be completed on the 10-year anniversary of the attack, September 11, 2011. They accomplished that goal and you get to see this beautiful memorial from start to finish in the film. When fully completed, the entire site will include a train station to rival Grand Central, six new towers, and, at its heart, the 9/11 Memorial.
The Skyscraper
One World Trade Center skyscraper begins with world-renowned architect David Childs who is striving for a balance of security with beauty. The first 20 stories are like a bunker, built to withstand the force of a truck bomb. As it rises, the tower transforms into eight interlocking triangles, covered in huge panels of clear glass. More than a hundred stories up, a broadcast antenna brings the total height to a symbolic 1776 feet. The cost? More than three billion dollars, Childs' design will be one of the most expensive skyscrapers ever built and one of the most innovative.
The Concrete
The core of One World Trade Center contains critical safety systems like extra-wide stairwells. It's made of a material that's strong like steel, but more fire-resistant: concrete.
The cores in the Twin Towers were compromised on 9/11, because they were made of steel wrapped in thin sheetrock. Childs' design calls for super-strong concrete. So strong that it had to be developed in the lab. In testing this new concrete, they formed a four-inch-diameter cylinder of the concrete. It can accommodate a thousand Americans standing on this one cylinder. Challenges are getting the concrete to the site before it hardens, not to mention pumping it up 40 stories high.
When finished, One World Trade Center will contain almost 500,000 tons of this material, much of it in its core, which has walls up to six feet thick. Inside, the core protects a total of 70 elevators, as well as the extra-wide stairwells that are pressurized to keep smoke out. Smoke is the real killer.
Childs has a vision of using prismatic glass at the podium to add to the beauty of the structure. Cutting grooves into glass this thick and this large has never been done before. The only way to do it is to build a new machine from scratch.
The Glass Panels
Each glass panel consists of laminated safety glass on the inside, an insulating air space, and another thick pane of glass on the outside, lined with an energy-saving coating. The coating lets sunshine in while reducing heat, resulting in cost savings in office lighting and air-conditioning.
Installing these panels is a painstaking task: they can weigh up to 5,000 pounds. There are around 13,000 panels. When this wall of glass is complete, it will wrap around the entire building from the 20th floor to the top. I don't know about you, but that blows my mind!
The Podium
The podium of One World Trade Center is a square about the size of the original towers. But as it rises above its base, at the 20th floor, the corners taper in. A square becomes an octagon. Four sides become eight interlocking triangles. Finally, at the top, it resolves in a square once again. Above the podium, One World Trade Center is going up a floor a week.
The "Green" Building
One World Trade Center is designed to be a certified green building. Steel contributes to that, because much of it comes from recycled materials like old refrigerators, cars, even toasters, all melted down into liquid.
Some of the largest steel pieces are called nodes. They can be as large as 60 tons and stand three stories high. Nodes are giant joints that hold multiple pieces of steel together. They come in all shapes and sizes and make it possible for the building to shift form, from four sides into eight. And they also help re-distribute the weight as the building rises.
Working with steel this big takes experience. Peter Jacobs is a member of the Mohawk Nation, famed for their work on skyscrapers and bridges for over a century. For more information about the Mohawk Nation, click here.
The Museum
A massive underground museum is being built beneath the Memorial plaza. People are going to be looking up at the underside of the plaza above, which is 60-70 feet above. There will be a very large volume of space. People will understand the enormity, and the scale of what was lost.
The Trees
Four hundred trees are being prepared to be taken to their new home: Ground Zero. They originally come from the three places where people died: New York, Pennsylvania and the Washington, D.C. area. These trees have their own computer chip in them. They have their own monitoring system for aeration and irrigation. Some weigh 18,000 pounds each.
The Conclusion?
The rebuilding of Ground Zero won't be finished for years. David Childs' original concept to cover the concrete podium with prismatic glass has been scrapped. Its replacement is yet undecided in this film. Many of this skyscraper's safety features are likely to make it one of the most influential buildings in America.

Some films help us to move on from an uncomfortable place. This is one of those films.

Hi Maki,
I hope you are feeling better. I said in another comment, I love your website. I re-read my copy of Just Bento about once a week. I've tried out other books, but I still love yours. It's really got me started cooking again and I really love making bentos. I <3 you!
If you have time, maybe you could answer a question for me. I live in Tokyo with my Japanese boyfriend. I'm Canadian and am not a big rice eater (unless it's your takikomi gohan recipe(s), which I love!) and only eat it about once a week. We always have the problem of cooked rice that has been around too long. I know rice should only be kept for 24 hours (or so?), but there always seems to be left over rice that my boyfriend will NOT throw out. His solution is always, 'Just leave it, I'll make chahan' (fried rice for anyone reading). I know the answer is probably, don't eat expired rice, but that's just not an option - he'll eat it regardless as some sort of bizarre man-cooking concoction. Is there anything I could make with it, or is there any way to re-fry it, that makes me feel a bit more happy about putting it in a bento? Usually I will make myself a different bento with a few of the same items, so I probably won't eat whatever the rice dish is. I usually only cook two rice cooker cups of rice but lately I have been making so many other things there's barely room for rice in the bento box! Maybe another solution is just cook one cup at a time.
Thank you!!!
Hello menkoiii
I'm answering here as I know this problem well. When my husband lived with his father in Tokyo he had the same difficulty. His dad would make a batch of rice up and keep eating it until it was gone. If my husband had a job where he was away from home for several days that rice would go off, but it would still be eaten, his father would NOT throw it out either.
Now that his son has moved to London to live with me, my father-in-law has come up with a solution. Perhaps it will suit you guys. He makes up a batch of rice then puts it into several containers, each enough for a single serving. The portions of rice are allowed to cool, sealed and placed in the freezer. His Japanese microwave has a setting specifically designed to cook a cup of frozen rice.
No more funny tummies!
Another approach that might suit you as you're not that fond of rice is to make bread with it. You can get a new breadmaker for 5 or 6 thousand yen and second hand ones turn up regularly in the classifieds for sayonara sales. You'll need to use it before it goes off, of course, but it might be a way you can add more rice to your diet.
I make a version of rice calas, or fritters. The sort you get in Lousianna are usually deep fried, like beignets- but to avoid the fat, and deepfrying, I do mine on a griddle like pancakes. I usually use 2 cups of cold rice. In a bowl, beat up a couple of eggs, a spoonful of sugar, and about a cup or so of milk. Add the rice and let that sit while you get everything else ready, so the rice gets a bit of moisture absorbed. I mix together about 2 cups of flour, 2 teaspoons of baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Add that to the rice/milk mixture, aim for a thick pancake batter consistency. If you like, and my kids do- add in cinnamon and nutmeg to your own taste, plus a dash of vanilla. Heat up the griddle or frying pan, grease it lightly with a pat of butter or margarine. Drop the batter on by spoonfulls, and cook like you would a pancake. When they are done, and while they are still hot, sprinkle on either cinnamon sugar (the favored topping in my house) or powdered sugar. Or eat them as is, with jam or whatever. Sorry I can't give you more exact measurements- but I've done it so often I do it on autopilot now. In fact, they are so popular my kids will put extra rice in the cooker to be sure there is leftover rice. Primarily, you make up a pancake batter and add in the cold rice- so if you have a favorite recipe for pancakes it will work as well. I also freeze rice packed in 1 cup amounts to make the morning packup for hubbie and eldest daughter (college student herself) easier. You can toss left over rice into just about any kind of broth as well, for soup. You can mix in any kind of dried fruit or veggies you like, roll it into balls, and have that as lunch as well. Make rice pudding, or reheat the rice in milk with a bit of sugar and raisins, add a pat of butter, and call it breakfast. So far as not liking to throw out rice, I was told by an old Korean grandmother that it was considered bad luck to do that. She told me her mother told her that you would go hungry one day for every grain of rice you wasted. My grandmother was kind of the same way about bread, in fact. So I imagine it has some cultural roots in the past, when food could be scarce. You just didn't waste it when you had it. The fritters will travel well enough in the bento, as would the pudding. And frozen rice, while not as nice as fresh cooked- can save packup time in the morning. And when it's cold, the rice soup or morning breakfast porridge are nice.
Hi Loretta - I never thought to use rice in bread? That reminds me I need to look into a bread maker though. If I think there is too much, I will also try to freeze some next time. Lori - that recipe sounds great! I am a terrible lover of sweets and carbs, so that sounds like something I could have for a breakfast snack on my 1.5 hour commute! I think the idea of not wasting rice is related to the hardships the Japanese population endured during WW2, but I'm not completely sure. Anyways, rice has to be REALLY bad before it gets thrown out in my kitchen (unless I do it on the sly for real fear of food poisoning!) so I really appreciate these great ideas!!!

text: These kernels were built with Project Elite in mind, but should work with any rom. This is still an early build, but it is stable. It's based off of Peter Alfonso's kernel source with some additional tweaks and modifications to the source. I plan to do my best to keep these kernels up to date with the needs of Project Elite, and provide a stable alternitive to the original PE kernels. Features! SmartMoD governor - This is a governor Erasmux created under the name smarta$$, I chose to rename it for my kernels. I have tweaked the settings of this governor and optimized it for maximum performance with great battery life. This is my prefered governor but interactive is set as default. New Interactive governor - Pete added this one to the source, I tweaked it to require less of a load from the cpu to ramp up the clock speed. A great choice for default governor if you don't need to worry about battery life. New and old compcache support - I include both ramzswap (old) and zram (new) in the zip. Zram is a thanks to Pete, ramzswap is a thanks to CVPCS. NOOP Scheduler - I find this scheduler to be the fastest in my kernels so it is set as default.

Landscape painting did not grow out of a love of nature. It grew out of a love of God. In the fourteenth century when the first traces of landscape painting began to appear as backgrounds in religious works, nature was still something to be feared, something to be overcome, its beauty unrecognised and something to be taken for granted. As artists embraced the Bible and the richly rewarding commissions to decorate churches that came with it, fostered to enlighten illiterate worshipers, it quickly became obvious that it was impossible to paint Adam and Eve without a Garden of Eden, or Christ in the wilderness without a wilderness. But rather than go out and study nature, artists improvised and imagined it. A typical example can be seen in Duccio di Buoninsegna's The Calling of the Apostles Peter and Andrew. Painted around 1308, the background is gold leaf, the rocks contrived and monochromatic, the sea calmly flat but abounding richly in fish, calling to mind the "fishers of men" analogy.
Even 185 years later when Albrecht D³rer painted View of the Arco Valley we find him imposing his own order upon the scene, eliminating neighbouring hills to emphasise the noble character of the mountaintop Italian village. And where he didn't impose his own will, he depicted in great detail the will of his fellow man all about the scene, even the imagined face of a man seen in one of the rocky cliffs. His rendering is rich in medieval detail yet strangely sterile in natural colour. The theme is man's apparent triumph in his domination of nature.
The Dutch artist, Jacob van Ruisdael, in 1670, some 165 years after D³rer, when the lowlands of Holland were awash in a newly discovered love affair with landscape painting, chose to obliquely illustrate and ennoble his countrymen's victory over the sea, the prosperous business of producing linen, their neat, carefully ordered homes, and towering city buildings on the horizon. His View of Haarlem from the Northwest with the Bleaching Fields in the Foreground draws attention not to the land, which is flat and almost featureless, but to the ways in which his friends and neighbours were thriving upon it. Overhead we see two-thirds of his composition given over to the cloud formations of a threatening sky. Indeed, the whole history of Holland is an uneasy truce with nature.
And so it has been, down through the centuries. In Thomas Gainsborough's bucolic The Watering Place, in Claude Monet's almost scientific study of Wheatstacks, Snow Effect, Morning, in Canadian artist/photographer Jeff Wall's angst-ridden A Sudden Gust of Wind (after Hokusai) today (1993), we find as many moments of conflict as of peace. No matter how strongly modern man professes a love of the great outdoors, no matter how wealthy become those who brave the forces of nature to paint it, no matter how faithfully they do so, what they bring back is mostly just another chapter in the saga of man's insistent efforts to orchestrate his vision of that which is increasingly becoming so rare as to be familiar only in painted memorials. Now, as in the past, what we are really seeing in such paintings are not landscapes, but "manscapes."

The part that had me confused was why were you trying to change the exposures. A properly working TTL system with the optical sync should show pretty much the same exposure at all reasonable f stops.
That part had me confused too :-) My memory recall . Optical connected.
I was photoing nudi branch about 18in away ( ~f11 to 14, 1/200sec, Nikon flash default TTL), 240 @ sttl and EV at B. Overly exposed result. Then I dial the EV to 6 oclock (f11), better. Then switch to sttl-low, EV still at 6 oclock, under expose, move it up to f4.5 (3 oclock), better. So I became confuse ...
This was in sttl-low and EV at 3 oclock (f4.5) - http://www.flickr.co...ver/3872257784/
This was manual and EV at 5 oclock electronic sync - http://www.flickr.co...ver/3936602620/
I need to try some more this coming Sat to sort out my confusion ...

Janet Babin- Dike 14 is about 4 miles from downtown Cleveland. It was built in the late 1970's as a confined disposal facility for dredged material from the Cuyahoga River. Over the years, migratory birds stopped over on property to rest, because of its location next to Lake Erie.
The League of Women Voters Environmental Committee calls Dike 14 the only significant wildlife habitat along 80 miles of highly urbanized Lake Erie Shoreline between Huron and Mentor. The National Audubon Society has designated Dike 14 as an "Important Bird Area."
In 1999, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers closed the 88-acre site next to Gordon Park. But fresh sludge was almost dumped on the Dike this month.
LTV Steel needs a place to put 30,000 cubic feet of dredged material, and it was close to ending up at Dike 14, because the Army Corps of Engineers hadn't opened another Dike nearby -- but Senator George Voinovich stepped in.
George Voinovich- What LTV wanted was permission to use the dike that the Army Corps of Engineers uses and we were able to get that done. We expedited it, and (the Army Secretary) agreed to accept the dredged material so we could keep the dock open and help preserve future park land.
JB- Barbara Martin with the The League of Women Voters of Ohio says the League's Environmental Committee is pleased with the Senator's contribution.
Barbara Martin- I know people wrote letters and emails to contact the Senator to indicate the importance of protecting Dike 14 and we're very happy that he was successful.
JB- The group hopes Dike 14 will be saved as a bird sanctuary. The League is calling for a public planning process with public review to determine highest and best use of the land. Senator Voinovich says any additional dredge placement requests will have to go through a similar process. In Cleveland, Janet Babin, 90.3 WCPN.

Thirty years ago, clothing existed in two worlds. One of fashion, where opulent designers like Christian Lacroix created crinoline-filled ball gowns covered in ornate tapestries. And one of retail, where practical garments were sold at affordable prices for reasonable people.
Then the '90s happened, and fashion became more than a playground for those who could afford couture gowns. French luxury conglomerate LVMH (Moet Hennessy Louis Vuitton) and PPR (which owns Gucci, Balenciaga, Stella McCartney and more) began bringing in billions of dollars in sales a year. The money was made from, yes, clothes but also fragrances, handbags and accessories. The turn of the century brought us fast fashion, in which discount retailers—including H&M, Zara and Topshop—ripped styles right from the runways and sold them at a scandalously low prices.
Now, fashion is a $500 billion-plus industry, with the potential to make a lot more: particularly in emerging Asian markets. Click ahead to see who is currently setting the trends—and cutting the deals.
