- "A wonderful book from Gilderoy Lockhart, who really knows his household pests."
- —Description[src]
Gilderoy Lockhart's Guide to Household Pests is one of the many books written by Gilderoy Lockhart. It includes advice on how to get rid of household pests.
It can be assumed that Gilderoy Lockhart is not the real author, due to his fraudulence, although the real author is never identified. Similarly, the methods inscribed within may not have been devised by Lockhart, but instead by someone else.
- "This book, by Gilderoy Lockhart, gives advice about the nature of magical household pests, and on how best to remove them."
- —Introduction[src]
Molly Weasley used it to find instructions on how to get rid of the Doxies that were in the curtains at 12 Grimmauld Place[1], and at The Burrow, to help Harry, Ron, and Fred and George get rid of the gnomes in the Burrow's garden, but the twins said that they already knew how without the help of the book. In Mrs Weasley's opinion, it was a "wonderful book" and she felt that Lockhart really knew his household pests.[2]
Behind the scenes
- Unlike most of Lockhart's other works, it actually provides practical advice, though most if not all of it was likely devised by other wizards or witches, whose memories were later removed via Memory Charms.
- As with certain of Lockhart's other works, the cover image, rather than concerning the subject, instead features a portrait of the author.

Municipalities and provinces have been reducing their culture budgets in recent years and more cuts are expected.
A Cultural Survey: Developments and Trends in Cultural Life in the Netherlands (2014) will help guide the policies of the Minister of Culture in the coming years.
Netherlands/ 3. Competence, decision-making and administration
3.2 Overall description of the system
In order to understand the Dutch cultural policy system, it is important to bear in mind four key issues:
- the relationship between state and other levels of government;
- the role of advisory committees;
- the role of funding bodies in the arts; and
- law-based regulations for planning cultural policy.
The relationship between state and other levels of government
Public governance in the Netherlands is organised as a three-tier system consisting of central, provincial and municipal government. In each tier, a system of dual responsibility prevails: parliament, county councils and local councils have the right to amend the financial and governmental recommendations of the cabinet, provincial deputies and mayors and aldermen. All three tiers pursue their own cultural policy with their own funding and advisory streams. In collaboration with the other tiers, they attempt to create an effective cultural environment throughout the country.
In preparing and fixing regulations, laws and cultural policy programmes, central government takes the lead, although it covers only one-third of all expenses related to art and culture. The main role of central government in this field is to take responsibility for subsidised arts and cultural institutes and companies. Central government subsidises those museums with a collection of national importance, symphonic orchestras, opera, theatre and dance companies, plus some other organisations of (inter)national importance. Central government is also responsible for the national digital library, monuments of national importance, and the national public broadcasting system. Another important task of central government is the drafting of laws concerning cultural and media-related issues. Examples of these laws are the Copyright Act 1912, the Media Act 2008 and the Fixed Book Prices Act (see chapter 5.2 for an overview of the legislation on culture).
Municipalities and provinces are primarily responsible for the implementation of their own cultural policies. Moreover they are both responsible for cultural interactions between the local and the regional levels. The majority of Dutch museums and libraries are financially dependent on municipalities. Municipalities also play an important role providing and subsidising facilities concerning education in the arts and culture (see chapter 8.4.1). They are responsible for maintaining the various venues and facilities and for scheduling performances. The provinces are given the task of spreading, regulating and maintaining the supply of culture at the provincial level.
Central government also has the task of creating conditions within which the other levels of government and the cultural organisations can function at their best. In 2010, the Rutte I Cabinet (2010-2012) reconsidered the government's role in cultural support. His aim was to open up the sector to the private market, to create an enabling environment for a market system in the cultural sector, and to stimulate cultural entrepreneurship. This, in combination with the economic crisis which began in 2008, led to budget cuts and targeted choices in awarding subsidies. In this way, central government created more distance between itself and the cultural sector.
In 2012, the total culture budget was over EUR 3.4 billion, of which EUR 1 billion was provided by the central government, EUR 307 million by the provincial governments and almost EUR 2 billion by the municipal governments (see chapter 6). Provinces and municipalities are subject to budget cuts. Expenditures from the 12 provinces decreased 23% on average between 2013-2015, but especially the arts were not spared: 40%, as some provinces cut the arts altogether out of their budget. (Bekkers et al., Boekman #103, 2015). Between 2010 and 2016 average expenditure by Dutch municipalities on art and culture decreased by 21 percent (Cultuur in beeld 2016).
Inter-administrative relations
All three tiers of government pursue relatively autonomous cultural policy objectives. For this reason, cooperation between central government, the provinces and the municipalities is of crucial importance. This prevents bureaucracy and fragmentation and stimulates effective policy-making. Shared responsibility has been embodied in joint financing agreements (covenants) between central government, regions and cities for co-financed activities. The partners involved are the eight "covenant partners", as they are known, namely the three largest cities - Amsterdam, Rotterdam and The Hague - plus five clusters of provinces and larger cities: the Central, Northern, Eastern, Southern and Western Netherlands.
The framework for policy coordination between the regions, the three major cities and the three governmental tiers is laid down in the General Framework for Intergovernmental Relations with respect to Culture.
This framework is based upon consultation between the umbrella organisation for the provinces: Interprovincial Coordination for Culture [Interprovinciaal Overleg Cultuur, IPO]; that for the municipalities: Association of Netherlands Municipalities [Vereniging van Nederlandse Gemeenten, VNG]; and central government. The framework includes policy priorities and the distribution of finances over the cultural sectors, funds and programmes. It forms the basis for the cultural covenants to be made between the partners involved. The framework also elaborates on the division of tasks between the three governmental tiers. All matters that deal with linking central government policy to the policies of provinces and municipalities are discussed on an annual basis.
The agreements and the policy plans for the period 2013-2016 are incorporated in the latest general framework. The framework includes joint principles concerning cultural heritage and cultural education. In both cases, central government is responsible for the financial and the legislative framework while the provinces take responsibility for regional distribution and the maintenance of institutions beyond municipal borders. The municipalities have the task of (1) enabling the institutions to function; (2) providing policy directions; and (3) ensuring diversity and high quality. Minister Bussemaker, in order to reduce the complexity of the cultural system, aims to improve cooperation between the three governmental tiers and the public cultural funds.
The role of advisory committees
A basic principle of the Dutch government is to remain neutral in assessing arts issues. The government is expected to focus solely on policy issues, which is the reason why the government leaves decision-making about the arts mainly to various committees of independent experts. The cultural institutions and the cultural funds directly funded by the central governmental are part of the so-called national basic infrastructure (BIS). For the period 2017-2020, the BIS comprise 88 institutions and six public cultural funds (see chapter 7.1 and chapter 7.2). The advisory committees provide advice.
The Council for Culture [Raad voor Cultuur] is a separate body that advises the government on the principles and implementation of policy plans. Advisory bodies also exist at municipal and provincial level including, for example, the Amsterdam Arts Council.
In order to advise Minister Bussemaker over the period 2017-2020, the Council produced a Cultural survey: developments and trends in the cultural life in the Netherlands (2014). In this document current trends are summarised: the arts form new connections, amongst others with science; cities are the focal point of cultural activity, cultural policy should bear that in mind; digitisation changes cultural production, distribution and access; artists and cultural institutions are becoming more internationally oriented; while regulation increases, the cultural field is increasingly informally organised; new financial sources and models are scarce; knowledge and expertise are under pressure in the heritage sector; artists are often self-employed; the roles of creation, professional, expert, amateur or audience are starting to blend; the development of talent of young professionals is increasingly off the beaten track. The cultural survey was the basis for the Agenda voor cultuur 2017-2020 en verder [Agenda for Culture 2017-2020 and further, 2015, summary).
In Advies culturele basisinfrastructuur 2017-2020 [Recommendations on the national basic infrastructure 2017-2020] the Council motivates which cultural institutions in the national basic infrastructure in its opinion qualify for a four-year state subsidy from 2017 onwards. 118 applications were assessed by the Council based on the criteria of quality, education and participation, social value (including public outreach and entrepreneurship) and geographical distribution. The Council for Culture has given positive recommendations to 77 grant applications from cultural institutions. 14 institutions are given a second chance; they must submit a new plan before the start of the new funding period.
The Council is enthusiastic about the attention which the institutions pay to talent and education, aimed both at students and pupils and at adults or senior citizens. The Council believes that the institutions should make a greater effort to attract an audience that better reflects the changing demographics in the Netherlands. That also applies to the often unbalanced composition of the supervisory boards. In their plans most institutions still pay too little attention to diversity. Also the way in which they implement the Cultural Diversity Code is often limited.
According to the Council the Dutch "cultuurbestel" is due for a re-evaluation. Trends and developments within and outside the cultural sector make it necessary to redefine the function of the BIS and cultural funds, and the relationship with regional cultural policies.
In the current cultural system, the central government does not pursue specific policy regulations regarding ethnic minorities. Instead, policy includes all Dutch citizens, without any division between minority groups (see chapter 4.2.4 for more information about cultural diversity).
The role of funding bodies in the arts
There are six government-subsidised cultural funds: the Performing Arts Fund NL [Fonds Podiumkunsten], Dutch Foundation for Literature [Nederlands Letterenfonds], Mondriaan Fund [Mondriaan Fonds: visual arts and cultural heritage], Cultural Participation Fund [Fonds voor Cultuurparticipatie: cultural education, amateur arts and popular culture], Netherlands Film Fund [Nederlands Filmfonds], and the Creative Industries Fund NL [Stimuleringsfonds Creatieve Industrie: applied arts] (see chapter 8.1.1). The responsibility of central government goes no further than furnishing money and determining the specific conditions under which the funds must operate (also the minister has to approve all arrangements). Parliament has the final word when it comes to the size of the budget. The Council for Culture [Raad voor Cultuur] evaluates these public cultural funds every four years. Furthermore, there are several private foundations that support the arts, such as the VandenEnde Foundation, VSB Fonds, Prince Bernhard Cultural Foundation [Prins Bernhard Cultuurfonds] and Buma Culture[Buma Cultuur]. The media has its own funding bodies: the Co-production Fund National Public Broadcasting [Co-productiefonds Binnenlandse omroep] and the Dutch Journalism Fund [Stimuleringsfonds voor de journalistiek]. The Dutch Cultural Media Fund [Mediafonds] will be dismantled on 1 January 2017. The tasks of the fund will be taken over by the Dutch Public Broadcasting (NPO) and the Dutch Journalism Fund (see chapter 7.3).
Law-based regulations for planning cultural policy
In 1993, the Cultural Policy Act [Wet op het specifiek cultuurbeleid]was introduced. This act determines aspects of cultural policy, such as the government's obligation to submit a cultural policy plan to parliament every four years. This four-year plan outlines activities for the forthcoming period, as well as reviewing achievements from the previous period. Furthermore, it regulates the government's option of issuing subsidies to provinces and municipalities. In 2009, an amendment was added to the Cultural Policy Act to the effect that subsidy requests from smaller cultural institutions and companies would no longer be part of the four-year cultural policy cycle, but would be submitted to the public cultural funds (see chapter 5 for a complete overview of the cultural legislation).

I just saw the chapter. Poor cassandra, I really feel bad for her. Roxanne is just ugly as her mole portrays her to be. She's such an evil bitch, like really...
and lol at audrey being all freaked out
so if we draw parallels to Miria's fake death, all the warriors who participated in Cassandra's death were afraid to kill her too, but they were also afraid of Roxanne...
I'd love to see miata, galatea and clarice vs roxanne

Was Roxanne right about Cassandra being nothing more than a number 5 without her technique? If so, then even an awakened Cassandra wouldn't pose any threat to Roxanne, if the latter is indeed one of the strongest number ones to exist.
Unless a Claymore's technique (and/or its potential) is somehow carried over into their awakened form, but it's not really clear how the awakening process works.
For instance, Priscilla as a Claymore could fully supress her yoki, and she has that as an awakened being.
I'd expect Miria's awakened form to be possibly the fastest thing out there (excluding cases like Priscilla).
And Irene's awakened form could use its appendages in a QS-like manner. But on the other hand, Clare's awakened form seems to be very fast, while she doesn't seem particularly fast as a Claymore.
So unless Cassandra's technique is expressed into her awakened form, she's toast. But she's doomed anyway, by virtue of having awakened. Which is sad, since she seems the most likeable out of the three.

I wonder though if Cassandra really awakened. If she would release lots of youki or half-awakened it would be a more fair fight with Roxanne. But if she would awaken it will either mean a chain reaction and others will awaken too or that Roxanne will be decimated rather easily or that Roxanne is of Priscilla level. I'm really curious where Yagi is going with this. This chapter is only a teaser of what's coming next. Heck, it's even possible that Hysteria and Miria will join forces. They're in a deadlock it seems and it doesn't look like Hysteria is willing to use more youki and awakened #1 would pose a problem especially if Hysteria/Miria were exhausted because of their fight. Each of them had a perfect opportunity to use this distraction to attack the other but they were too cautious.

I dunno, @ ulqui, the big X-scar is definetely gone, however there is still some scar or stain around her right eye in some shots, this might either be a remnant of the old scar or a new wound inflicted by hysteria, or some blood and goo from the fight, but yeah, the big one is definetely healed - also, they exchange heavy blows with blood spurting heavily from both of them - so it makes sense her regen-ability is pretty maxed out atm.
as for what gooral wrote, yeah, big teaser basically and kinda cliffhangerish in many ways, but I rly enjoy this one - I think Miria vs Hysteria being a draw for now is about the best turn of events one could hope for regarding the logic of Miria's powerup (no matter how much I would have enjoyed her giving hysteria a through sppanking )
I think it is highly likely Roxy truly awakens cause there is some serious speed lining for the release, more so though because of the flashback and specially because of the reopening of wounds - that seems to indicate that her psychological trauma has intensified to such an extent that her body reacts involuntary - hence - awakening imminent. Next chap might very well start with a double spread of her awakend form...
Anyways, rly wonder what Miria and Hysteria talk about XD I also want clarification on what technique Roxy used to ex Cassy in the flashback - did she use toe lowlevel-use-the-swordhilt thing? or was this crush with the tip of the sword pommel something else? btw like the symbolism of it - the move is just what you would to with a stick to a snake writhing on the floor in front of you, stab down fast n hard, like exterminating vermin... boy she sure is one hell ofa piece of work... damn its true what spoilers mentioned, I rly feel sorry for cassy. she didn't deserve that. smh.

Roxane and cassandra is the only good part – can't wait for English version
Miria seems boring, more like filler
The twins injuries are a little bit too much – hope that only the twins are able to do that. we don't want yuma and the other to heal brain injuries, do we?
And not showing cassandra awakened form in the end is a crime
The bandits were normal men
Ophelia was a normal child ( she show up her true colors in the end)
Roxane would still be a sociopath ( I think that this guys are born already this way; I can be wrong but I am convinced this way)

The unfortunate part of that is, is that all my fears about each spoiler, are essentially now rolled into one -- for example, how on earth is Cassandra suddenly wounded like that? Just because I think of a past bruise, doesn't mean it suddenly comes back. My theory on that one is, is that the revival never actually healed it -- truly, like Frankenstein, they all still carry the wounds they had when they died and the damage only now just caught up with her, which in turn, made her remember her past memories.
If i'm right, then it also means the same undoubtedly for the other two, which means Miria could suddenly have a big advantage over her fight with Hysteria.
Which brings me to my second fear, that one of them might actually die - I've already whined about this enough, but I think it's a solid complaint; no, nobody has actually died, but I simply don't want that to happen at all, flat-out. Whether one of them awakens or not, I guess isn't so bad....but still, we've had the original Big Three all this time, for years...if one of them dies now, I can't express how astronomically anticlimatic that would be, especially after all the drama and fuss about bringing them to life.
On the flip side though, their were all sorts of things I liked about this chapter; the artwork in particular, perhaps it's just been awhile since I read a recent Claymore chapter, was beautiful as ever -- even though it's not exactly new that Yagi has been very lazy with new hair-styles for a long time now (Cassandra's friend is just a glossier/flaxen version of Cynthia; and I swore I thought I saw Renee for a second (Hysteria ), the faces, the little details...everything is just very very good. Miria noticably looked like an AE when she powered up.
And speaking of which, Roxanne beating out Ophelia as the greater maniac feels like it wins out even more -- and the parallels between Cassandra and Miria go even further: heck, her entire flashback felt like one giant parallel to the Extra Chapter that starred her and Hilda....Cassandra however went further then Miria because, unlike Miria, Cassandra caught some foul-play and immediately pointed the finger at Roxanne. I don't know the dialog (waiting on English version), but Roxanne undoubtedly had a snippy reaction that sent Cassandra off the edge...
Which makes me wonder something else: one of the things I liked about one of the spoilers, is the weakness in Roxanne not replicating Cassandra (whether because it was too scary/too much/couldn't do it etc)...I thought it was silly last month that she didn't do it, as it would have been her crown achievement, but if the spoiler is true, their is a reason --- but more then that though, if she didn't copy her technique, the expression on her face when Cassandra goes berserk tells me that she maybe did all this, simply to ensure Cassandra's demise and take the No.1 rank for herself -- even without her technique, she had more then enough power to win the title. Shame though that the others never caught on though, because I mentioned last chapter that other warriors undoubtedly began to suspect what Roxanne was doing to her 'friends'.
As for the Twins surviving head-shots...the only thing kind of reminds me of Riful in that she as able to move her innards around her ribbonly body -- she was an Awakened Being (an Abyssal at that), so it makes sense that she could do that...but the Twins; it makes sense to me that they have this sort of ability as well as, like with Alicia and Beth, the Organization was/is trying to get high-powered AB/Abyssal strength/abilities in normal warriors.
I'll write more as they come to me.

hm. kinda unusual for you shieky to be be so sceptical (MEH CHAP) without even having the translation?! I opt for the opposite, all in all a very good chapter. yeah, cliffhanger suck, but nicely done and a many things that could have sucked thankfully did not happen
well let's wait for some partial translations I guess. or one I wouldlike to knwo what hysteria is thinking about Miria and the lines they exchange - of particular interest is alsod the scene before flashback where roxy looks over to M vs H and seemingly comments: what does she say about the two speedfighters?
I saw tom bombadil lurk half an hour ago but sadly he seems gone...

Go Cassy!!! GO! Kill that b****!!!
Im a bit sad if she really awakens since i hoped she would join the ghosts....but on the other hand, that could force Roxy to awaken,this way 2 of the new abyssals will be born.....and Miria could force Hysty to awaken,this way we'll have again a full set,lol.
About what happened with the twins,imo its Rafty's doing but i could be wrong.
In this chapt there is a good amount of dialogue,so i'm sure it will be even more interesting when the eng version will come out.

Altona Evangelical Mennonite Mission Church (Altona, Manitoba, Canada)
The Altona Evangelical Mennonite Mission congregation in Manitoba began services in 1949. The first building was occupied in 1951, with subsequent building programs in 1968, and 1986. B.W. Sawatzky and Wilhelm Falk are considered the founding leaders of the group. The congregation originated through division from the Sommerfeld Mennonite Church.
The congregation grew with the dissolution of EMMC churches at Neubergthal, Eigenhof and Rosenfeld.
In 1965 there were 200 members; in 1975, 255; in 1985, 369; in 2000, 658. The congregation has been affiliated with the Evangelical Mennonite Mission Conference. The languages of worship are English and German; the transition from German occurred in the 1970s.
Pastor Frank Friesen served in 2008 as a congregational leader.

Biology has transformed into a quantitative science with the advent of technologies that produce large amounts of data, whose analyses demand advanced computation. The bioinformatics research group in CSE develops computational tools to enable biological discoveries.
In Proteomics (the study of active proteins in a cell), the group is engaged in the analysis of mass spectrometry data to identify and quantify proteins, discover post-translational modifications and processing, sub-cellular localization, the genes that encode these proteins, and study of proteins from non-cultured organisms (meta-proteomics). In Genomics/Genetics, the group studies problems relating to genome rearrangements, structural variation, deep-sequencing, and population genetics. In each case, our focus is on novel analyses of data from high throughput technologies including sequencing, genotyping, mass-spectrometry. CSE Bioinformatics is an integral part of a vibrant Bioinformatics PhD program on campus with faculty from Biochemistry, Bioengineering, Biology, Mathematics, Medicine, Pharmacy, and Cancer Biology.

Fire companies will not be required to provide health insurance to volunteers under the Affordable Care Act, according to Sen. Chris Coons, D-Delaware.
Fire companies will not be required to provide health insurance to volunteers under the Affordable Care Act, according to Sen. Chris Coons, D-Delaware.
In a letter sent Friday to Coons, the U.S. Treasury Department relayed it would issue new guidance to reconcile a conflict in the tax code that would require fire companies to count their volunteer members as "employees" and potentially trigger the Affordable Care Act's coverage mandate for businesses with more than 50 employees.
In a prepared statement, Coons said while the ACA is already doing a lot of good for a lot of people, it isn't perfect.
"The issue facing our volunteer fire companies needed to be fixed, and since Republicans' commitment to repealing the law is making it impossible for us to repair the law, it was important for the president to step in," Coons said. "The action taken by the Treasury Department will spare Delaware's 60 volunteer fire companies from a significant unintended financial burden."
Coons and Sen. Tom Carper, D-Delaware, co-sponsored the Protect Volunteer Firefighters and Emergency Responders Act, introduced in mid-December to clarify the employer requirements for volunteer fire departments and emergency responders in the ACA.
"These volunteer departments operate on very limited budgets and traditionally don't offer benefits to volunteers," Carper said earlier this week. "This measure makes it clear that volunteer firefighters and emergency responders should not be counted toward the employer mandate in the health care law, ensuring that these volunteer departments aren't on the hook for additional costs and can use their limited financial resources on the tools and equipment they need to help keep our communities safe."
The legislation was assigned to a committee but is now moot and no longer needs to be considered, according to Coons' office.

With a soft spot for his old club, Elliott Whitehead had more than a passing interest in the unveiling of Bradford's new head coach on Tuesday morning but he maintains his departure for Catalan Dragons was the best move he could have made.
The Bradford-born second rower left the Bulls exactly 12 months ago after falling out with then boss Francis Cummins and submitting a transfer request.
He was snapped up by the Dragons and, after taking some time to settle into a new lifestyle in the south of France, he is now producing the best form of his career.
Whitehead, who came through the ranks at Odsal and burst into the senior side in 2009 at just 19, was only the second Englishman to sign for the Catalan club since they entered Super League in 2006.
Leon Pryce was the trailblazer and Whitehead is grateful to his old Bradford team-mate for helping him make the adjustment.
"At first it was hard," said the 24-year-old bachelor. "I'd never been to a different club, never mind a French club where no one really speaks English.
"I lived with Leon for two months and he made it a lot easier for me.
"A lot of the boys when they come, especially if they haven't got families with them, get put in a place called Malibu which isn't really the nicest place.
"Leon told me I wasn't going there - he said we Bradford lads have to stick together - so he threw me in his mansion.
"I was grateful for that. Him and his missus looked after me.
"I've got my own apartment now and I'm learning how to cook and clean. I had my mum to do all that. I haven't killed anyone yet when I've cooked tea so I'm doing alright.
"I speak a little bit of French. It's not the best to be honest but I get by and the lifestyle is a lot better than Bradford. I live right on the beach and every morning I'll have breakfast outside. I can't complain about that."
Whitehead played in the Dragons' last seven matches of the 2013 season and really found his feet this year.
Along with Wigan second rower Liam Farrell, he is the most prolific forward in Super League with 12 tries so far and his form earned him selection in England coach Steve McNamara's 34-strong training squad.
Whitehead flew over for a three-day camp at Loughborough University and, although there was no mid-season match this time, he is hoping to put himself in contention for the end-of-season Four Nations Series in Australia and New Zealand.
"It was good to get called up," he said. "I know it was just training but I'll keep on doing what I've been doing at Catalan and hopefully I'll get the call at the end of the year.
"Last year I was with the Knights and I felt I had to move from Bradford to progress my career. I feel I'm playing better now and I'm more confident in myself. I feel I've achieved one of my goals by breaking through into the England squad.
"There's a lot of good back rowers but l'll keep on performing and trying to improve parts of my game. I think I'm playing well but I feel always there is a bit more I can do."
Whitehead is contracted with the Dragons to the end of 2015 but is already thinking about extending his stay in Perpignan.
"I've got the rest of this year and then another year," he said. "Maybe I'll start speaking them this year to sign again. Everything is good and hopefully they'll want to keep me."
Meanwhile, Whitehead is hoping the unveiling of James Lowes as Bradford's new head coach can help spark a revival at his old club.
"I've got a lot of mates at Bradford and it's not nice seeing them struggle," he said. "It's my home-town club and I still want them to do well."

Homeland Security 'Fusion' Center Director: We're Not Spying On Americans... Just Anti-Government Americans
from the uh-that's-not-how-this-works dept
Apparently, the Fusion Centers are trying to rehabilitate their own image, but they might want to send their officials to press training a bit more before sending them out into the wild. Reason alerts us to an interview that the director of the Arkansas State Fusion Center did with some local TV stations in which he appears to completely contradict himself -- first arguing that the Fusion Centers don't spy on Americans... and then saying they spy on "anti-government" Americans. First, there was this:
"There's misconceptions on what fusion centers are," he says. "The misconceptions are that we are conducting spying operations on US citizens, which is of course not the fact. That is absolutely not what we do."Okay then. We've established won't you don't do. So, tell us, what do you do?
Davis says Arkansas hasn't collected much information about international plots, but they do focus on groups closer to home.Okay, hold on a second here. It would seem that his first statement is completely proven untrue by that second statement. Unless he's arguing that if someone classifies you as "anti-government" then you're no longer a US citizen, which would be a rather unique (and wrong) interpretation of the Constitution.
"We focus a little more on that, domestic terrorism and certain groups that are anti-government," he says. "We want to kind of take a look at that and receive that information."
Elsewhere in the article, Davis defends what he does by playing the patriotism card, in which he can't actually explain what good he's doing, but just the fact that he's "doing something" after 9/11 is important.
"I do what I do because of what happened on 9/11," Davis says. "There's this urge and this feeling inside that you want to do something, and this is a perfect opportunity for me."This line of argument is such ridiculously lazy and dangerous thinking. People who feel they need to "do something!" without caring as to what that something is or (more importantly) if it actually helps (or hurts) are not doing anyone any favors. They're just bound to cause more trouble.

Michael Lohan: Engaged to Kate Major (Jon Gosselin's Ex)
Lindsay Lohan's father, Michael Lohan, is engaged to former tabloid reporter Kate Major, who dated Jon Gosselin. Here's what the bride-to-be shared with People:
On when the wedding is: "I've already talked to some of the bridesmaids, and it will probably be in New York, probably at the end of this year."
On Lohan asking her father for permission: "I'm very traditional, so I wanted him to talk to my father. Michael went down with me to Florida for Easter, to meet my father to ask for his permission, and my father gave his blessing."
On the wedding: "I'm ecstatic. I'm very happy. Michael and I have known each other for four years, and it's meant to be."
On their 23-year age difference (Kate is 27 and Mike turns 50 later this month): "It's never been an issue."
Mike added, "I'm ecstatic. I've never met anyone who's been there for me like Kate. She's always been there for me. The one thing about Kate is that she doesn't come with baggage."
Lindsay Lohan's about to get a new step-mom!

Church member Ned Workman has been responsible for overseeing the food bank for the past two years, with the help of his wife, Linda, and a group of about 25 volunteers. He said it was not uncommon to distribute food to 200 or more families monthly.
The cost of renting the truck was $200 a month, and the food cost an additional $600 each month. Workman said private donations and church bake sales were the sources of revenue to pay the $800 monthly cost.
By MARY BARKER
CHEBOYGAN — Cheboygan County has one less food pantry available to those in need with the recent closing of the Cheboygan Community Food Bank, which has been housed in the Cheboygan Community Wesleyan Church, 625 E. Sixth St., for the past four years.
An array of factors including budgetary constraints; a lack of control over the type of food coming into the bank; and an inconsistency with the goals of the church were cited by church officials as reasons for closing the food bank.
The Rev. Gregg Haskell, of Cheboygan Community Wesleyan Church, explained that the church took the food bank under its wings four years ago when one of its members who had a close contact with the East Michigan Food Bank convinced the board to use its facilities for a food bank program. The East Michigan Food Bank out of Flint is under the umbrella of the nationwide Feeding America program, which supplies food pantries throughout the United States. The local food bank received a truckload of food once a month and distributed it the next day.
"Through attrition here, the original founders of our food bank moved on, and it fell into the lap of some of our long-term members," said Haskell. "There have been some major struggles, particularly in the last six months, which led to us questioning the effectiveness of the program and how it is impacting what the church mission is all about."
Church member Ned Workman has been responsible for overseeing the food bank for the past two years, with the help of his wife, Linda, and a group of about 25 volunteers. He said it was not uncommon to distribute food to 200 or more families monthly.
The cost of renting the truck was $200 a month, and the food cost an additional $600 each month. Workman said private donations and church bake sales were the sources of revenue to pay the $800 monthly cost.
"Our budget has been dwindling," said Workman. "We depended heavily on the bake sales and for the last five months we haven't been able to cover the cost. We have been getting under $200 on our bake sales. We did have private donations, but even with those we weren't making it. In the program's early going we had enough and then some."
In addition, Workman said the local food bank officials had no say on what type of food it would receive on any given delivery.
"In the last four years it has changed a lot," said Workman. "We were getting a lot of bread, cakes, snack food. … It didn't seem to make a lot of sense."
He said the East Michigan Food Bank did indicate in its original contract that the food delivered would be of a nature that people would not typically purchase at the store.
There were cake mixes, donuts and a ton of crackers. One of the best things we got recently was a whole bunch of Starbucks coffee," said Workman. "We were even getting stuff that wasn't food. For example, we got a huge amount of single-dose cold sore packets. And I hate to say this, but in our last load there were four boxes on condoms. In the last three months the whole thing just went downhill."
Workman said the church wanted the food bank program to be "more than just giving food away."
"We wanted to have an impact in the spiritual realm as well," said Workman. "For eternity, we wanted to enhance relationships with God and with a lot of the people we were seeing, they were not working toward that goal.
"We decided we had to stop and re-evaluate the whole program. Who knows, we could do something again. Be it would need to have a much stronger direction."
With the closing of the Cheboygan Community Food Bank, the county and surrounding area is left with food pantries at The Salvation Army and St. Thomas Lutheran Church, both in Cheboygan; Joy Fellowship Assembly of God, between Indian River and Wolverine on S. Straits Highway; and Church of the Straits in Mackinaw City.
In addition, the Lord's Kitchen at the Cheboygan Nazarene Church, 221 North Bailey Street, offers lunch at no charge Monday-Friday. The kitchen opens its doors at 9 a.m. with coffee and sweets and social time. The meal is served between noon and 12:30 p.m. In addition, visitors can sign up to do their laundry at the church. When school is closed due to bad weather, the Lord's Kitchen also is closed.
Salvation Army Business Manager George Olson said there has been a slight increase in traffic at the food pantry there since the recent closing of the Cheboygan Community Food Bank, but it remains to be seen what impact it ultimately have on the Salvation Army's food pantry.
A spokesperson from St. Thomas Lutheran Church could not be reached for comment about any impact on its food pantry.

Dear Annie: My husband and I have been married for 23 years, and we have two teenage daughters. Our biggest issue is disciplining the kids. I think they should do more household chores. My husband agrees in theory, but does nothing to hold them accountable when they don't cooperate, so the burden of discipline falls on me.
Dear Annie: My husband and I have been married for 23 years, and we have two teenage daughters. Our biggest issue is disciplining the kids. I think they should do more household chores. My husband agrees in theory, but does nothing to hold them accountable when they don't cooperate, so the burden of discipline falls on me.
I'm sick of being the bad guy and living in a slovenly house that no one else cares about. I've talked to them until I'm blue in the face. I've tried letting things go to see whether they'd eventually do something, and that doesn't work either. Usually, I end up so frustrated that I throw a big hissy fit and clean it myself.
I'm ready to move out. To me, it's more than the mess. It's teaching the kids to be independent, to have some work ethic and to be accountable for their actions. To them, I'm being a nag. What should I do?
— Tired in Rural Oregon
Dear Tired: Nagging is part of your job as a parent. And it's OK to let some things go. The girls' rooms are theirs. Leave their clothes on the floor and their beds unmade. Tell them those things are their responsibility, and show them how to use the washer and dryer. If you can't stand the sight of the mess in their rooms, close the doors.
Common areas will be tougher, but they are counting on you to give up. Firmly and repeatedly remind your husband and children to do whatever chores you assign. Do not do these things for them out of exasperation, and try not to become angry. Offer incentives in the form of increased or decreased allowance. Help them understand that you are not a servant. Being a member of the family means doing your share. If your husband won't help, discuss hiring outside cleaning assistance.
Dear Annie: I am a senior in high school and plan to have a family graduation party next spring. However, I haven't spoken to my maternal grandparents in six months. They have never been a part of my life and have said and done some hurtful things over the years. They often start fights at family get-togethers.
I have no desire to invite them, but my mom says I should because I would otherwise regret it later. Honestly, I'd be happy never to see them again, but I don't want to hurt my mom by not inviting her parents. Should I?
— East Coast Senior
Dear Senior: Yes — not only because it would please your mother, but also because it will give your grandparents a chance to behave better. One should take advantage of opportunities to reconcile when possible.
Dear Annie: "Washington" said her mother was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis 30 years ago. She had been active in her church and had lots of friends, but at age 49, she was in a nursing home. Now the only person who visits is her daughter.
I was diagnosed with MS in 1961 at age 19. In 1962, I became wheelchair bound. I'm fortunate to have a loving, caring husband of 52 years who does the things I cannot do for myself. This disease turns your life upside down. It makes the MS patient feel like a burden to society. But disabled people want to be loved, too.
I have a chin-controlled power chair to move around in. I can use the computer with a voice-activated system, and I listen to books on tape. I stay as active as my limitations will allow. But with everything I do, someone has to assist me. I am blessed to have my husband.
For people who say they're bored: How about volunteering for the disabled?
— Faithful Follower in Florida
Dear Florida: A wonderful suggestion. Approximately 400,000 Americans are currently diagnosed with MS. For those who want more information, please contact the National MS Society at nationalmssociety.org.
Please email your questions to email@example.com, or write to: Annie's Mailbox, c/o Creators Syndicate, 737 3rd Street, Hermosa Beach, CA 90254.

Blog entry Where in the world did your rice go?
Since Freerice began doing what it does best in 2007, Freericers have raised enough rice to feed over 4.3 million people.
Here are just a few of the places in the world where your rice and the World Food Programme have helped reduce hunger, and put smiles back on hungry faces:
In Myanmar we helped feed people whose lives were affected by cyclone Nargis, and in the immediate aftermath to feed 750,000 cyclone affected people.
In Bangladesh we helped 27,000 refugees from Myanmar sheltering at Cox's Bazaar in Bangladesh.
In Nepal we helped feed 108,000 Bhutanese refugees.
In Cambodia we helped feed 13,500 women for almost 2 months as part of WFP's Mother and Child Health programme (monthly take-home rations of 4 kg of rice for pregnant and nursing women).
In Uganda we fed 66,000 school children.
From January 2011, all rice raised through Freerice will be going to help the people of Haiti. You can find out more about why Haiti needs our help here.
Click here to test your Haiti hunger IQ – and feed a child in Haiti (it cost you nothing but brain cells).
Thank you Freericers for all that you do! Let's see what we can do this year.
@hannahrose95, while hunger is certainly present in all countries worldwide, when we talk about hunger we're talking about chronic hunger, which is life threatening.
Take a look at this hunger map to get an idea of the scale of hunger experienced worldwide: http://documents.wfp.org/stellent/groups/public/documents/communications...
People don't realize that hunger in the US is huge. It goes under the radar way too much. 1 in 6 children in the United States is struggling with hunger. A portion of this rice needs to go to those kids.
@iamawesomeatthisgame Freerice is owned and managed by the World Food Programme. We've managed to raise enough to feed 4.6 million people, it's definitely not fake.
iz free rice fake?
well, i want my rice to Pakistan and India, those flood victims, ya, im from Pakistan
i think this is the best idia send some to hatie PLEASE:)
It's great that were feeding Haiti and all , but what about all those other countries ? Did we just stop giving rice to them ?!
procrastinating and helping end world hunger at the same time....awesome.
No matter how any one thinks we help with those in need, we save those who are hungry, we give from all that we have to give, and no matter what...WE ARE HEROES. With no power we are heroes, for we have the grates power of them all...are heart and are love.
Can't some rice go to palestine!!!!:) PLEASE!! THEY NEED IT!!!!
pressing buttons is changing the world :)
I'd been feeling like i was cooped up in my house and at school doing nothing when i could have been out changing the world. but now that i've found this site, i don't feel that way anymore!!! To everyone on this site: YOU ARE CHANGING THE WORLD!!!
Free Rice is a great way to donate rice to the hunger and it also helps you build up your education for free. Some educational services let you build education for money. If you have any time, please invite any of your friends to free rice to build more knowledge and help donate more rice to the hungry ones. You might complain to your parents why you eat the foods you don't like. But you should be thankful. Some people still don't have ANY food to eat. If you are one of those who are not complaining, I give all my thanks to you. Thank you.
I love this site! I think that it is great that we are helping Haiti, and I understand their plight, but couldnt we still give a little to other countries too?

I love to know that I am helping the world by doing something as simple as answering questions correctly!! If everyone in the world joined this website, together we could end WORLD HUNGER and make our planet a better and more comforting place to live! I was excited to hear about this website and to learn that it is actually helping make a difference in the world! Thank you FREE RICE for giving me the opprotunity to help out our planet!
I have been participating on this website for years, but just recently made an account. I appreciate what the WFP is doing and all of the people on this website are doing to aid them in giving aid to others. :)
Please let us know how many people you were able to feed in Haiti at the end of January, thanks!
How can we feed the poor starving hungry people in the Philippines!
hey, since we are telling everybody, that everyone with a computer will play this website, everyone!!! tahts good right
Much respect to Free Rice, WFP and all of the players out there. The power of the collective makes all the difference in fighting the war on hunger.
The Haiti quake easily fits into the top 20 worst disasters of the decade, and with the recent cholera outbreak while most of Port-Au-Prince still remains in ruins one year after the disaster makes the story even sadder. Knowing that January's rice is gonna help our brothers and sisters across the ocean instills an even stronger desire to keep the questions rollin'.
Also, ever since I started playing the game I couldn't help wondering about the people who genuinely don't like rice. I know at the end of the day food is food, but is it possible to cater for the people who genuinely prefer bread, or some vegetables with their rice?
Keep up the good work!
This is so easy and fun, and if it helps stop world hunger then i'm like so in.
Wow this is so cool to actually know where the rice is going. I hope we conyinue to get updates. Thanks freerice!
It is very good to know that all of the Free Ricer's efforts have paid off, in the millions (of grains). For those of you that want to join my group, it's calls Floridians Fighting Hunger. I love Free Rice!

The writing minor is designed for students majoring in all academic disciplines who enjoy writing and want to enhance their writing skills. The six-course minor covers a variety of genres, including essay writing, fiction, poetry, screenwriting and playwriting, memoir, and other forms.
Students who minor in writing often register for individualized study in writing or take part in an internship with The Gettysburg Review, the College's award-winning literary journal that features works by many of the nation's leading writers. Student interns work closely with the editorial staff of The Gettysburg Review to gain hands-on publishing experience.
Each year a new Emerging Writer in the early stages of his or her professional career joins the faculty to work closely with students. In addition, many writers, poets, and scholars visit the campus each year to present readings and lectures and to interact with students.
Writing Minor Requirements
The writing minor requires six courses.
- Introduction to Creative Writing (Eng 205)
- Three courses from the grouping Eng 300-309, 405
- Two electives:
-One or both may be 200- or 300-level writing courses.
-JOUR 203 may count.
-One may be a 200- or 300-level English literature course.
-One may be an academic-year internship or individualized study.

Seventh Place After Day One
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. — The Yale women's fencing team could not overcome tough competition on the opening day of the Mar. 2-3 Ivy League Championships, posting a 0-4 record that puts the team in seventh place with two rounds of fencing to come.
Fencing got underway Saturday morning at Harvard's Albert H. Gordon Track, several weeks after the originally scheduled Feb. 9-10 dates; competition had been postponed because of Winter Storm Nemo, which dumped several feet of snow in the Boston area.
In the opening bout of the day, Yale fell to Penn 18-9. The Bulldogs were unable to regain their footing throughout the day, falling to Harvard 20-7 and Columbia 22-5 and Princeton 26-1. In a testament to how difficult Saturday's competition was, both Princeton and Columbia wrapped up the day sitting together atop the leaderboard, with 4-0 records. Yale concluded the day in seventh place with a 0-4 record.
On Sunday, the Bulldogs will face Brown and Cornell.
Report filed by James Lu '14, Yale Sports Publicity.

Eighty-six percent of bank executives agree that the widespread use of AI provides for a competitive advantage beyond cost. The newfound awareness of artificial intelligence to power change, growth and innovation points to more opportunities for banks to improve their operations.
Banks that capture competitive value from intelligent automation in their digital transformation must master its secret sauce: pairing intelligent automation with people to fundamentally change the way bank employees work and the type of work they do. It means making important adjustments to the bank's organization, culture and skillsets to develop people with confidence.

Previously we looked at the graphAuts1 function, which lists all symmetries of a graph, and the graphAuts2 function, which lists a set of generators for the symmetry group of a graph: that is, a few symmetries, from which all the rest can be generated as products / sequences.
This time we're going to start looking at some particular graphs.
Recall that the complete graph, k n, is the graph on n vertices which has every possible edge.
For example:
k n = graph (vs,es) where
vs = [1..n]
es = combinationsOf 2 vs
> k 5
If we look at the symmetries of this graph:
> mapM_ print $ graphAuts2 $ k 5
Remember that graphAuts2 tries to find symmetries that take the 1 vertex to the 2, 3, 4, or 5 positions, symmetries that leave 1 where it is and take the 2 vertex to the 3, 4, or 5 positions, symmetries that leave 1 and 2 where they are, and so on. In this case, it seems to have found everything it's looking for.
That's because, for the complete graph, any permutation of the vertices is a symmetry. Recall that a symmetry is a permutation of the vertices that moves edges to edge positions and non-edges to non-edge positions. In the complete graph, every position is an edge position, so there are no non-edges, and every edge moves to an edge position, no matter what we do.
Let's just check. We know that the number of permutations of n objects is n!. The "elts" function lists all the permutations generated by a generating set.
> length $ elts $ graphAuts2 $ k 5
So it works (5! = 120). The group of all permutations of [1..n] is called the symmetric group, S n. "graphAuts2" found 10 generators, but in fact we could have generated all the elements from just two generators:
The two generators are an n-cycle s, which cycles all n positions, and a "transposition" t, which just swaps two positions. Let's check that s and t really do generate all permutations:
_S n | n >= 3 = [s,t]
| n == 2 = [t]
| n == 1 = []
where s = p [[1..n]]
t = p [[1,2]]
> length $ elts $ _S 5
> map (isGraphAut (k 5)) (_S 5)
What about the complete bipartite graphs kb m n? Recall that these consist of m vertices on the left and n on the right, with every left vertex joined to every right vertex by an edge.
For example:
kb' m n = graph (vs,es) where
vs = map Left [1..m] ++ map Right [1..n]
es = [ [Left i, Right j] | i <- [1..m], j <- [1..n] ]
> kb' 2 3
G [Left 1,Left 2,Right 1,Right 2,Right 3]
[[Left 1,Right 1],[Left 1,Right 2],[Left 1,Right 3],[Left 2,Right 1],[Left 2,Right 2],[Left 2,Right 3]]
> mapM_ print $ graphAuts2 $ kb' 2 3
[[Left 1,Left 2]]
[[Right 1,Right 2]]
[[Right 1,Right 3,Right 2]]
[[Right 2,Right 3]]
This is saying that we can take any left vertex to any other left vertex, and any right vertex to any other right vertex. Moreover, we can do the left and right moves independently of one another. However, we can't take a left vertex to a right vertex - unless m = n.
So on the left side, we have the full symmetric group S m acting on the left vertices, and on the right side we have the full symmetric group S n acting on the right vertices - and they are acting independently of one another. This situation is called the cartesian product of the two groups. In the HaskellForMaths library, there is a "cp" function to construct the cartesian product of two groups H and K:
(Recall that permutations are implemented using Data.Map - hopefully you can see what's going on here.)
cp :: (Ord a, Ord b) =>
[Permutation a] -> [Permutation b] -> [Permutation (Either a b)]
cp hs ks =
[P $ M.fromList $ map (\(x,x') -> (Left x,Left x')) $ M.toList h | P h <- hs] ++
[P $ M.fromList $ map (\(y,y') -> (Right y,Right y')) $ M.toList k | P k <- ks]
So hs is a list of generators for a group H acting on a, ks is a list of generators for a group K acting on b. What this function does is create a copy of hs in the left part of an Either a b, and a copy of ks in the right part. Taken together, these generate a group which is isomorphic to the cartesian product of H and K.
For example:
> mapM_ print $ _S 2 `cp` _S 3
[[Left 1,Left 2]]
[[Right 1,Right 2,Right 3]]
[[Right 1,Right 2]]
What is wrong with the following alternative definition of cartesian product of groups?
cp2 :: (Ord a, Ord b, Num a, Num b) =>
[Permutation a] -> [Permutation b] -> [Permutation (a, b)]
cp2 hs ks =
[P $ M.fromList $ map (\(x,x') -> ((x,1),(x',1))) $ M.toList h | P h <- hs] ++
[P $ M.fromList $ map (\(y,y') -> ((1,y),(1,y'))) $ M.toList k | P k <- ks]
(By the way, I hope that the cp and cp2 functions convince you of the beauty of having made our Permutation type polymorphic.)
Anyway, I hope you're beginning to get a feel for how this graph symmetry thing works.
Time to look at some more interesting graphs. This is the Petersen graph:
It's defined as follows:
The vertices are the 2-subsets of [1..5] (see the labels on the picture), with edges between 2-subsets that are disjoint.
petersen = graph (vs,es) where
vs = combinationsOf 2 [1..5]
es = [ [v1,v2] | [v1,v2] <- combinationsOf 2 vs, disjoint v1 v2]
I'll just mention in passing that the 2-subsets of [1..5] have a natural interpretation as the edges of k 5, so that in fact we have:
> petersen == complement (lineGraph' (k 5))
Now hopefully you're thinking to yourself "Hmm, from the construction, I wonder whether there is an action of S 5 on the Petersen graph.".
Indeed there is. The action of S 5 on [1..5] induces an action on the 2-subsets of [1..5]. Because the construction is "symmetric" on the 2-subsets (the 2-subsets are all treated the same way), the induced actions are actually symmetries of the Petersen graph.
Here's some code which can be used to calculate the induced action:
For example:
action xs f = fromPairs [(x, f x) | x <- xs]
> action (combinationsOf 2 [1..5]) (-^ p [[1,2,3,4,5]])
So the 5-cycle [[1,2,3,4,5]], acting on [1..5], induces an action on the 2-subsets of [1..5] which consists of two 5-cycles, for 2-subsets {x,x+1}, and 2-subsets {x,x+2} (mod 5). If you look back at the picture, you'll see that this is an anti-clockwise 2/5 turn. On the other hand:
> action (combinationsOf 2 [1..5]) (-^ p [[1,2]])
If you look at the picture, you'll see that this is a rather more intriguing symmetry of the Petersen graph, which swaps the inner 13,25 edge with the outer 23,15 edge.
(Note: The above code is a slight improvement over the code for this task in v0.1.3, and will be included in the next HaskellForMaths release.)
It turns out that all the symmetries of the Petersen graph are induced by this action of S 5:
> elts (graphAuts2 petersen) == elts [action (combinationsOf 2 [1..5]) (-^ g) | g <- _S 5]
That's about it for now. I'll leave you with something to think about.
If you give me a graph g, and show me what "graphAuts2 g" returns, I can tell you at a glance how many symmetries g has. (That is, I can tell you what "length $ elts $ graphAuts2 g" would return, but without running it.) How do I do it?
For example, here's the dodecahedron graph.
> mapM_ print $ graphAuts2 dodecahedron
I can tell just by looking at that list that there are 120 symmetries in total. How do I do it?

Window Treatments & Blinds for High Windows
- Cover high spots for additional privacy
- Consider light control needs on high windows
- Protect interior from UV rays and heat gain
- Versatile top down/bottom up to preserve view
- Add motorization for easier operation
A tall wall full of windows provides great views and plenty of light, but may let in damaging UV rays or unwanted heat. Hard to reach areas usually require custom made blinds for high windows. Determine how much light control you need and if you'd like your shade to be adjustable. If you don't plan on raising or lowering your shades, choose a cellular shade with light filtering qualities that fit your needs. For total control over your shade, we suggest motorization that will allow you to raise, lower, or tilt your blinds with a remote control instead of struggling to grab a hold of those hard to reach window treatments.

U.S. Coast Guard Academy Sports Information
NEW LONDON, Conn. - MIT fell to the U.S. Coast Guard Academy, 1-0 and 2-0, in a NEWMAC doubleheader on Saturday. With the losses, the Engineers drop to 4-16 overall and 0-10 in conference play.
The Bears scored the only run of the first game in the third as DeCarol Davis and Meagan Schoenhardt led off with back-to-back singles. Davis advanced to third on a wild pitch before Heidi Miller's RBI ground-out plated the only run of the game.
Tech threatened in the seventh as Adrianne Hee led off with a triple. Batya Fellman grounded-out to third. As the throw was made to first base, Hee sprinted home. However, Coast Guard's Stephanie Kimmel came off first base, took the throw, and blasted a strike to Miller behind the plate, putting the tag on Hee.
On the mound, Leah Bogsted allowed just three hits and struck out 12.
In game two, Coast Guard got all it would need in the first inning as Schoenhardt led off with a single. She was bunted to second and scored on a RBI single by Adams. The Bears got an insurance run in the fourth. Kimmel led off with a single and stole second. Adrian Harris posted a double, scoring Kimmel.
Amanda Jason broke up the no-hitter in the sixth with a two-out single. Bogsted had another strong outing for MIT as she scattered four hits, walked one and struck out 10.

Broccoli Salad
1 1/2 cup fresh broccoli (cut into tiny florets)
3/4 cup shredded sharp cheddar
4 bacon strips, cooked and crumbled
1/4 cup onion, diced
3 tablespoons mayonnaise
2 tablespoons white vinegar
1 tablespoon sugar
In a large bowl, combine the broccoli, cheese, bacon and onion. In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, vinegar and sugar until combined. Pour over broccoli mixture and toss to coat. If you used a bowl with a tight fitting lid, you could also mix the salad together by putting the lid on and shaking the bowl like maracas and dancing around the kitchen. Cover and refrigerate at least 1 hour before serving.

Disruption. It is a fitting word to describe the current human services landscape. Consider the reality of the launch of major changes in demographics, funding, infrastructure and technology.
When disruption is the new normal, what does leadership look like? Successful leaders respond in innovative ways. They become adaptive, inclusive and propose dynamic, innovative programs using new technologies to promote data driven programs. Disruptions become a catalyst for better business models that guide families and communities to self-sufficiency.
To harness and share these lessons, Leadership for a Networked World, Accenture, the Technology and Entrepreneurship Center at Harvard and the American Public Human Services Association (APHSA) convened human services leaders for The 2013 Human Services Summit: Leadership in an Era of Disruption.
Originally published by Leadership for Networked World, this report captures insights from this unique event.

In an attempt to show dealers and customers that it is stronger than ever, McCormick introduced two families of tractors and model additions to its high-horsepower line. Top executives from McCormick USA and parent company Argo SpA based in Rio, Italy, spent the summer visiting dealers across the Midwest to show the nine new models and an updated look, which are part of the company's strategy for growth in the U.S. (See "Here tomorrow," page 4.) It was the company's biggest launch since reentering the U.S. market in 2001.
"Each one of these products is addressing fairly high-volume sectors in the marketplace where we have not been active in the past," says Rodney Miller, vice president of sales and new products. "We now have tractors that go from 28 to 280 hp, which is a broad range that allows us to address some new market segments."
High-horsepower models
McCormick added two new high-horsepower models: the 145-hp XTX 145 and the 167-hp XTX 165. "We didn't have a high-horsepower offering between our 130-hp MTX and 175-hp XTX tractors," says Paul Wade, training manager. "Now we've filled that gap."
The new models have the same eight-speed powershift transmission used in their larger counterparts but in a smaller, more maneuverable frame. The tractors provide eight speeds instead of the conventional four in each of the four ranges so operators can maintain a maximum working speed without having to stop and shift between ranges.
Wade says these tractors are tough enough to be used for heavy tillage yet are lighter weight than higher-rated models, resulting in less fuel use and soil compaction. Plus they have a shorter wheelbase and swivel front fenders to provide a tighter turning radius and better maneuverability.
The tractors are also the first to feature a brand-new look and body style that will eventually be carried to all models. A new one-piece hood maximizes engine access for daily maintenance and cleaning of radiators. The new styling features fresh paint, new wheels, modified lights, and a new decal scheme and striping that bare a striking resemblance to Spiderman.
"People have said they want McCormick to have its own brand identity and not look like a carryover from Case IH," says Wade in reference to the fact that at one time both Case IH and McCormick tractors were manufactured out of the same factory in Doncaster, England. "This styling has given us a new direction I think."
Suggested list prices for the XTX 145 and 165 tractors range from $88,682 to $100,440. Circle 117.
Lighter utility tractors
The company also introduced a line of utility tractors, the CL series, assembled by McCormick's parent company, Argo SpA. "It is not a Landini heritage tractor or a McCormick heritage tractor painted red," says John Sargeant, vice president of marketing and logistics for McCormick USA. "It is a brand-new product for us."
The tractors are positioned as a lighter-duty alternative to McCormick's traditional C series utility tractors designed for the farm. The series consists of three models ranging from 52 to 67 PTO hp. All are powered by a 3-cyl. Perkins engine. Other features include an open station platform; an independent, 54-rpm, single-speed PTO; and an optional telescopic lower link arm.
Suggested list prices range from $23,332 to $28,623 for the 2-wd tractors and $27,789 to $33,996 for the 4-wd models. Circle 118.
Other big news is McCormick's entry in the under-40-hp compact tractor segment with the launch of the CT series for the rural lifestyle, landscape and estate markets. The series consists of four models ranging from 28 to 47 hp (23 to 41 PTO hp).
McCormick is making a full line of implements, including loaders, backhoes and mowers, to be used with the tractors. The compact tractors are built in Korea and shipped to Kiehl, WI, for final assembly.
Suggested list prices for the CT series compact tractors range from $16,995 to $23,020. Circle 119.
