Student Work
To radically question conventions of sustainability, Energy and Environments turns its critical attention to construction material. While it is often inadequately framed, matter is but captured energy and must account for its embodied memory—the social, geographic, and historic narratives that have contributed to its formation.
Carlos Cerezo Davila (MDesS '13)
During his time as a student in the Energy and Environments concentration area, architect Carlos Cerezo Davila carried out work on the Life Cycle Energy Analysis and in research on the holistic energy understanding of the built environment. Emphasizing the trans-disciplinary approach carried out at the GSD, Davila has focused his research on the relationship between environmental and historic conservation. Work in the concentration area is never tethered just to the classroom. Davila also works as a Research Assistant in the Energy, Environments, and Design Research Lab, where he carries out investigations in the Material Geographies initiative. He is also the Co-Director of Green Design GSD, a student organization meant to sponsor discourse about energy and sustainability.

A federal grant of more than $489,000 will help Auburn authorities replace an aging airport office building at Farington Field.
The grant from the Federal Aviation Administration requires a local match to cover the full project cost of more than $620,000.
The current building will be torn down. It will be replaced by a new 980-square-foot structure that will include an office, toilets and utilities.
The old driveway will be replaced and several trees will be taken out for safety reasons.

Perhaps the most perplexing aspect of the negotiation process during this lockout is how the two sides can have such a diametrically opposed version of their own reality. Youd expect them to have conflicting viewpoints and a propensity to put their own spin on the issues. But what has been utterly incomprehensible is how each side presents its version of the events as truth and how they can be so different.
A prime example of that occurred last Thursday night when talks between the two sides blew up in Manhattan. The players and owners could not have been coming from more polar opposites. And it makes you wonder how much each side is actually listening to the other when their recollection of what happened is so opposed.
After the meetings, Winnipeg Jets defenseman and the de facto leader among the players, Ron Hainsey, said the players were told both by NHL deputy commissioner Bill Daly and outside counsel Bob Batterman Wednesday night that any attempt to have NHL Players Association executive director Don Fehr rejoin negotiations would be viewed as a deal breaker.

The Norman Transcript
NORMAN — If you have a chronic condition like hypertension or diabetes, a carefully planned diet can have a significant impact on managing your symptoms and improving your health. During National Nutrition Month in March, the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics encourages consumers to develop a healthy eating plan that is centered on personal health concerns and "Eat Right, Your Way, Every Day."
Most people understand the role a healthy diet plays in overall health. What they may not fully grasp is the fact that a healthy diet can actually manage, and in some cases, prevent specific diseases. For example, eating heart-healthy foods can help lower blood pressure. This in turn reduces the risk of both heart attack and stroke. And even if you don't have high blood pressure, a heart-healthy diet reduces your chances of heart disease in the future.
A healthy eating plan not only keeps health concerns in mind, but also incorporates individual needs such as personal nutrient requirements, food preferences, lifestyle and physical activity.
For those individuals with hypertension and heart disease, you should "Eat Right, Your Way, Every Day." or these health conditions, this included balancing calories with physical activity to manage weight and consuming fewer foods with sodium, saturated fats, trans fats, cholesterol, added sugars and refined grains.
It's also a great idea to increase the variety of nutrient-rich foods, such as fruits, vegetables, whole grains, fat-free and low-fat dairy products and seafood.
A person needs to understand how food and nutrition affect the body in order to successfully manage diabetes. Good health depends on eating a variety of foods containing the right amounts of carbohydrates, protein and healthy fats, in addition to vitamins, minerals, fiber and water.
Eating meals and snacks at regular times and eating about the same amount of food at each meal or snack can be beneficial for people who have diabetes. Select foods such as whole-grain breads, beans, cereals, pastas and rice, along with vegetables, fruit, lean meat, fish, poultry, tofu, low-fat or fat-free milk and oils instead of solid fats. Keep in mind carbohydrates affect your blood sugar more than protein or fat. Keeping track of the amount of carbohydrates you eat can help control your blood sugar.
To help combat obesity, it is vital to establish a balance between calories consumed and calories burned through physical activity. Keep an eye on portion sizes in an effort to manage calories intake. Cut back or limit empty calories from added sugars. Make sure your diet included fruits, vegetables, whole grains and beans. These fiber-rich foods offer lots of vitamin and minerals while helping you feel full longer.
No matter what health concerns you have, a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, low-fat dairy and lean protein is sure to get you started living a healthier life.

When you loose the one you love every thing goes down Hill. Who wants another guy to be raising your Kid?

The internet is where compassion goes to die. Though I wouldn't doubt they have compassion for the mugshot of the guy busted for waving around a gun with road rage. I have impressions, but no real opinion on these cases without knowing facts -which frankly, I won't ever have time to find out. Good luck to you and your friend. Hopefully you can help his child out somehow
Maggie Rotermund February 06, 2013 at 10:22 PM
@Thomas - your comment was removed for inappropriate language.
Mike K February 06, 2013 at 11:28 PM
Ignore @Thomas. I guess he got a little worked up. Good riddance. Be a Dad for your kid. And if you an your child's mother split up, you need to know that the system is biased against Dads and you have to fight to keep DFS and the judges from allowing it. Because, for some reason, every mother I've seen plays the "single mom victimhood" card, uses the child as a weapon against the father, files false DV charges, denies the father custody granted by the judge, kidnaps them to a "women and children's shelter" (as if single dads don't have children to protect from violent mothers), etc. And your friend didn't help his case a whole lot by adding criminal activity to the factors the family court judge will be looking at in determining his child's access to his father. Just be the best friend you can to your friend.

The Daily Star
---- — When you step outside on a springtime morning, there's a freshness that stimulates your senses.
The trees are budding and the grass is turning green. If you don't have a bunch of allergies, there's a smell that fills your nostrils and regenerates your soul.
The aroma of spring reminded me of an incident many years ago.
I moved to Wells to teach junior high English and Social Studies in 1969. Winters were rough back then. When spring arrived, Ray Brennan took his nine sixth-graders — yes nine, the total number of students in the sixth-grade class — out behind the school on a nature hike one afternoon. The weather was warm and the four feet of snow had finally disappeared.
When they returned to the classroom, they cleaned a delicacy they had pulled from the ground. Every one of kids sampled the wild plant that they had dug up. A few minutes later, the entire class went down the hallway in perfect order to the principal's office.
Frank looked up from behind his desk, questioning the sudden appearance of the entire class when Ray spoke up.
"We brought you something."
All nine kids who had circled the desk took a deep breath and exhaled toward the principal. The smell nearly knocked him from his chair and brought tears to Mr. Belmont's eyes.
Without saying a word, he got up and quietly walked toward the door. Immediately, the bells started ringing. Because of the offensive smell in his office, he had pulled the fire alarm and evacuated the building.
It was nothing serious. Ray's class had just eaten wild leeks.
I have to laugh. Things like that couldn't happen today. It wasn't that the principal's office wasn't much bigger than a janitor's closet, but breathing such a stench at the principal could easily be construed as an act of terrorism today. Heck, parents would have been called in for "forcing" their children to eat an unapproved plant and Ray's job may have been on the line.
A lot of things have changed today, but the wild leek still grows in the woodlands.
Wild leeks are often called ramps. They have an extremely pungent odor and are considered to be part of the garlic family. When pulled from the ground, they look much like a scallion or green onion and have a flavor which is like a combination of onions and strong garlic. The rural people have used this easily found plant to flavor their food for many, many years.
The leek is April's wild food of the month because as spring breaks, these plants start sprouting about the same time that the crocuses peek through the barren ground. They like moist soil in the woods and along wandering streams. Not only are leeks used for flavoring other foods, they are used to make soup and can even be steamed or sauteed like asparagus. It has become a delicacy in some of world's finest restaurants.
The leek's broad leaf is light green in color and looks a lot like that of a tulip. The plant grows in clumps and is easily found from Quebec to the Carolinas. If you aren't sure you're picking the right plant, just pull one and smell your hands. There's no doubt about it.
Mother Nature offers us a wonderful array of edible plants. It's just that some must be used more sparingly. The rule of thumb — don't eat leeks before going on a date or kissing your wife.
Trust me, it won't be good.

What are Piksters?
Piksters are an Interdental Brush that very effectively cleans the gaps between teeth and removes decaying food particles which may cause bad breath, plaque formation and gum disease.
About Piksters
Piksters are interdental brushes. The following is general information about interdental brushes and how they relate to gum disease and oral hygiene.
What is Plaque?
Dental plaque is a sticky residue of bacteria, acid and food particles that can irritate your gums and eat away at tooth enamel. It is the bacteria in the plaque that causes dental diseases, that is tooth decay and gum disease.
Plaque grows in protected areas on the teeth. It grows on the tooth next to the gums, in between the teeth, and in the grooves of the back teeth.If it is not cleaned off the teeth, it will eventually grow and completely cover the teeth.
Links Between Gum Disease & Heart Disease
The mouth is the window to the body. It is both an indicator of the body's overall health, and a potential starting point for inflammation of the gums (periodontal disease), which affects three out of four adults age 35 and over, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Several theories exist to explain the link vetween periodontal disease and heart disease. One theory is that oral bacteria can affect the heart when they enter the blood stream, attaching to fatty plaques in the coronary arteries (heart blood vessels) and contributing to clot formation.
What about floss? How does it compare to interdental brushes?
The fact is that most people don't floss... probably because they find it too fiddly and awkward to use, but floss is an excellent way to clean the gaps between your front teeth and if you already floss you should continue.
Are interdental brushes only for unhealthy or inflamed gums?
No, they can be used for daily plaque control on healthy or inflamed gums in conjunction with your normal toothbrush. They are also an excellent aid for those who wear orthodontic wires or teeth that are splinted (wired together) for orthodontic retention or for periodontal support, because they clean between the teeth under the wires where it is hard to get floss. Implants need special care, as do bridges. Plastic coated interdental brushes are very good for these areas as they can clean around the artifical teeth without damaging them, and are quick and easy to use.

NORMAN — Editor, The Transcript:
Jim Inhofe, known primarily for his diatribes against the environmental movement, has temporarily shifted his attention to the food stamp program.
Recently, he introduced his Food Stamp Restoration Act which would make it extremely difficult for those in the program to receive benefits without undergoing major hassles.
One of the act's restrictive provisions requires drug testing for all prospective recipients. This is based on the false assumption that fraud prevails in the program. To the contrary, the USDA reported that fraud cases in 2011 included only one tenth of one percent of program participants.
The Food Stamp Restoration Act is one more example of why Inhofe reigns supreme as champion of the unenlightened and one who is never bothered by the facts.

The Grammys, celebrating their 56th annual awards show on Jan 26, are notorious for their fails.
Lately, though, the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences has been pretty good about doling out their awards and nominations to deserving musicians—it's been five years since the worst "Best Album" award ever— but they still offer up a few head-scratchers.
While not as embarrassing as last year's nomination of unknown keytarist (Hello, Al Walser in the electronic dance music category, this year's dishonour goes to Led Zeppelin.
The disbanded rock band somehow landed a Best Rock Album nomination for "Celebration Day." Now we love Led Zep as much as the next breathing human, but if this live album from a 2007 one-off reunion concert full of songs from the 1970s is one of the five best rock albums of 2104, than perhaps we should just can the category altogether. Or at least force the voters to listen to actual new albums rather than vote on name recognition. (Note: Led Zeppelin is up against Black Sabbath, Neil Young and David Bowie with only Kings of Leon and Queens of the Stone Age repping this century.)
Zeppelin is also nominated for Best Rock Performance for... "Kashmir," a song that first came out in 1975. Oh, and if they win, it will be the classic rockers FIRST Grammy, as they've previously only won a Lifetime Achievement Award in 2005.
Of course, this would not be the first time the right act was nominated for the wrong album, our list of Grammy fails is full of them. Not to mention the nominees and winners that were wrong across the board.
And so, the worst Grammy nominees and wins ever, in chronological order, are...
David Seville - "The Chipmunk Song (Christmas Don't Be Late)", (Nominated), 1959
Nominated: "Record of the Year", 1959 "The Chipmunk Song" didn't win this category, though the incredibly irritating tune did pick up three other awards at the inaugural Grammys. But its inclusion in this songwriting category is nonetheless unconscionable, especially when placed beside fellow nominees Peggy Lee's "Fever," Perry Como's "Catch a Falling Star," Frank Sinatra's "Witchcraft" and eventual (thank goodness) winner Domenico Modugno's "Volare."
Vaughn Meader - "The First Family", (Won), 1963
Won: "Album of the Year", 1963 To be fair, a spoken-word comedy album won the Grammys' top prize just two years earlier, but at least that was the legendary album "The Button-Down Mind of Bob Newhart" (though also giving Bob Newhart the best new artist award really muddied the Grammys' musical waters). But this comedy album was just a goofy take on the Kennedys by a long-forgotten impressionist. And it bested a pair of timeless classics: Ray Charles' "Modern Sounds" in Country and Western and Tony Bennett's "I Left My Heart in San Francisco". (Needless to say, Meader's career as a Kennedy impersonator ended on Nov. 22 of that year.)
The New Vaudeville Band - "Winchester Cathedral" (Won), 1967
Won: "Best Contemporary (R&R) Recording), 1967 Even if this embarrassing novelty throwback to British music halls of the 1920s hadn't bested the likes of the Beatles' "Eleanor Rigby," the Beach Boys' "Good Vibrations" and the Mamas and the Papas' "Monday Monday," it would still have been a travesty considering there's not a single note on this dreadful ditty that even slightly evokes rock 'n' roll, which was the category it won.
A Taste of Honey (Won), 1979
Won: "Best New Artist", 1979 I get that the Grammys wanted to do something to honor the already-dying disco scene, but this award is supposed to be bestowed on a band with a bright future. Just a few short years after "A Taste of Honey" topped the chart with the creatively named floor-filler "Boogie Oogie Ooogie," they broke up following a string of failed efforts. Oh, and they beat the Cars and Elvis Costello in this category.
Robin Williams / The Blues Brothers (Tie, Nominated), 1980
Nominated: "Best New Artist", 1980 Now I'm not inherently opposed to comedy acts winning non-comedy Grammys. In fact, I remain appalled the Lonely Island lost for "I'm on a Boat," but that was a well-written and produced original song regardless of its inherent hilarity. Two best new artist nominees in 1980 were comedy acts — Robin Williams, who released a live album of his trademark manic stand up shtick (except more coked-out), and the Blues Brothers, a.k.a. "SNL" stars John Belushi and Dan Ackroyd, who simply played covers of blues classics with a band of ringers borrowed from Isaac Hayes and Booker T.
USA for Africa "We are the World" (Nominated),1986
Nominated: "Album of the Year", 1986 While the charity single "We are the World" is certainly iconic and undeniably altruistic, that does not necessarily make it an award-worthy song. And it surely doesn't justify a nomination for the same-named album which included unreleased throwaways by participating artists like Steve Perry's "If Only for the Moment, Girl" and a live version of Huey Lewis and the News' "Trouble in Paradise." Oh, and it also contained the terrible Canadian famine-relief tune "Tears are not Enough." It's great that people bought it, but academy voters were being a little too charitable here.
Jethro Tull "Crest of a Knave" (Won), 1989
Won: "Best Hard Rock/Metal Recording", 1989 When you're introducing a new category to an award show, it's very important to make sure that your nominees are actually representative of said category. So Grammy voters appeared to have nailed it when they announced the likes of AC/DC, Iggy Pop, Jane's Addiction and Metallica. And then instead of awarding "...And Justice For All" the award, they committed one of the best-known blunders in Grammy history by giving it to Jethro Tull's non-metal record, prompting a chorus of boos from the crowd.
Milli Vanilli, (Won) 1990
Won: "Best New Artist", 1990 There may have been no way for Grammy voters to have known that Milli Vanilli were lip-syncers, but they could have still listened to the record which, for all its radio hits, was hardly a display of award-worthy artistry. Adding insult to injury was they strong line-up they bested — two-hit wonder Tone Loc aside, Indigo Girls, Neneh Cherry or Soul II Soul all would have been worthy winners.
Eric Clapton - "Layla" (Unplugged version) (Won), 1993
Won: Best Rock Song, 1993 Yes, old Slowhand is a rock legend, but that doesn't mean that an acoustic cover of a 20-year-old tune is a "rock song." Making this even more embarrassing was that it won against two of that decade's most influential songs, Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit" and Pearl Jam's "Jeremy."
The Rolling Stones - "Voodoo Lounge" (Nominated), 1995
Nominated: Album of the Year, 1995 Yes, the Rolling Stones are rock legends, but much like Clapton's '93 victory, this was a name-recognition win in a year when alt-rock was still pumping out new classics. Jagger and Keef beat Pearl Jam's "Vs.", R.E.M.'s "Monster", Soundgarden's "Superunknown" and Neil Young and Crazy Horse's "Sleeps With Angel"s, an album that proved you could be a boomer band and remain relevant rather than releasing, as Sleep's best song put it, a "Piece of Crap."
Skee-Lo - "I Wish" (Nominated), 1996
Nominated: "Best Rap Album", 1996 Skee-Lo was a one-hit wonder, but "I Wish" was admittedly a catchy one hit. The problem is this category is for best album and I wish Skee-Lo even came close to his fellow nominees. Naughty By Nature maybe didn't deserve their win for their late-period "Poverty's Paradise", but it at least earned a spot alongside 2Pac's "Me Against the World", Bone Thugs-n-Harmony's "E 1999 Eternal" and Ol' Dirty Bastard's "Return To The 36 Chambers: The Dirty Version".
Quad City DJ - "Space Jam" (Nominated), 1998
Nominated: "Best Dance Recording", 1998 Given the late-'90s rise of rave culture, it's rather shocking that Daft Punk was the only one of the electronica crop to nab a nomination for best dance recording. It sucks that "Da Funk" lost to disco holdovers Donna Summer and Giorgio Moroder, but that's nothing compared to the egregiousness of this terrible soundtrack cut to a Michael Jordan/Bugs Bunny movie getting nominated when Chemical Brothers, Prodigy and Crystal Method released major works.
Will Smith - "Men In Black"/"Gettin' Jiggy wit It" (Winner) 1998 , 1999
Won: "Best Rap Performance", 1998 and 1999 Some may complain about DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince winning the first rap Grammy, but I am not among them. Will Smith's early work from "Parents Just Don't Understand" to "Summertime" was pretty great. But he sure as hell didn't deserve a nomination, much less a win, for either of these dreadful solo singles. The former beat Busta Rhymes' "Put Your Hands Where My Eyes Could See," Missy Elliott's "The Rain (Supa Dupa Fly)" and the Notorious B.I.G.'s "Hypnotize," while the latter trumped Jay-Z's "Hard Knock Life (Ghetto Anthem)," Wyclef Jean's "Gone Till November" and Lauryn Hill's "Lost Ones." And we all lost a little faith in the Grammys.
Steely Dan - "Two Against Nature" (Winner), 2001
Won: "Album of the Year", 2001 This was maybe the worst year in Grammy history, as you'll see by the four (!) entries this annus horribilis managed to pull off. The worst, of course, was also the biggest. Who even knew that '70s jazz-rock duo Steely Dan was still making music? But the fact that they beat out some of the best albums of the post-millennial era in Eminem's "Marshall Mathers LP" and Radiohead's "Kid A" suddenly makes their album title make a little sense.
Baha Men - "Who Let the Dogs Out?" (Winner), 2001
Won: "Best Dance Recording", 2001 To be fair, this whole category is an embarrassment with any number of amazing electronic albums and songs ignored in favour of the likes of Enrique Iglesias and Jennifer Lopez, who each got a nod. Only Moby's "Natural Blues" even deserved to be here, but the fact that the Baha Men are able to call themselves Grammy-winners puts this entire enterprise into question.
Creed - "With Arms Wide Open" (Winner), 2001
Won: "Best Rock Song", 2001 I'm gonna give this one to Creed because they won, but considering they were also up against 3 Doors Down's "Kryptonite," Lenny Kravitz's "Again" (does anyone even remember that one?) and Matchbox Twenty's "Bent," I question the inclusion of "best" in the category title. (I'd have given it to Red Hot Chili Peppers' "Californication" by default though it's not one of their better tunes.)
Paul McCartney - 'Liverpool Sound Collage' (Winner), 2001
Won: "Best Alternative Album", 2001 Leaving aside how "alternative" one of the biggest-selling songwriters in music history could possibly be, the former Beatle put out a "sound collage" and somehow beat Radiohead's "Kid A", Fiona Apple's "When The Pawn...", Beck's "Midnite Vultures" and the Cure's "Bloodflowers". John Lennon would not have approved.
Afroman - "Because I Got High", 2002
Nominated: "Best Rap Song", 2002 How did Afroman get a nomination alongside Missy Elliott's "Get Ur Freak On," DMX's "Who We Be," Jay-Z's "Izzo (H.O.V.A.)" and Nelly's "Ride wit Me"? Clearly it's because Grammy voters got high, they got high, they got high.
Herbie Hancock - "River: The Joni Letters" (Winner), 2008
Won: "Album of the Year", 2008 When the jazz legend Herbie Hancock's Joni Mitchell covers album bested epochal records from Amy Winehouse ("Back to Black") and Kanye West ("Graduation"), the rest of us heard the first two words of the Foo Fighters also-nominated album "Echoes, Silence, Patience & Grace". If only someone had rushed the stage and said "I'mma let you finish, but..."
Al Walser - "I Can't Live Without You" (Nominated), 2013
Nominated: "Best Dance Recording", 2013 Which brings us back to Al. Now after all the outrage over Walser's nomination, I can't imagine he'll be able to beat household names like Skrillex and Swedish House Mafia or highly respected producers like Avicii and Calvin Harris. But then again, if this deep dive into the depths of Grammy history has taught us anything, it's that the academy has a very loose grasp on the meaning of the word "best."
Led Zeppelin, "Celebration Day," 2014
Nominated: "Best Rock Album" Look, we'll give the Grammy voters a pass on "Kashmir," because it's up for "Best Rock Performance" and Robert Plant, Jimmy Page, John Paul Jones and John Bonham's son Jason put on a hell of a performance. But that doesn't excuse this greatest hits live album being up for a best rock album award, especially since their actual best rock albums were all ignored when they came out four decades ago.

Game experience, especially at the varsity level, can be an invaluable tool for building both a team and a program. Having played the Niles McKinley Red Dragons early in the season, Edgewood coach Dave Fowler knew what his team was up against Monday night when McKinley paid a visit to Ashtabula Township. Fowler was able to get many of his younger junior varsity players some varsity time as the Warriors dismantled the Red Dragons, 25-11, 25-22, and 25-19.
"We had played them earlier in the season and didn't have too much trouble," Fowler said. "It's later in the season, though, and they have gotten much better, but so have we. My plan was to get some game time at the varsity level for some of our younger girls, and I was able to do that with some success tonight."
That made substitutions interesting and put some girls in awkward situations.
"We did have some tricky rotations tonight," Fowler said. "Generally, though, I was pleased with how we played. All the people who touched the ball made good plays to keep the ball active, which is what I wanted to see. Plugging girls into strange spots on the floor can look rough, but it gives them some experience for future use. That's how solid programs are built."
Deadlocked at 4-4 after a Katie Thomas kill in the first game, Judith Silvieus (15 points) served up five points in a row, including a pair of aces and a pair of Thomas kills, to open a 9-4 lead.
From that point on, only a brief spurt at the start of the second game slowed the Warrior efforts.
A pair of Adriana Kowal dinks opened a 5-3 lead for the Red Dragons (2-17). After a Taylor Hawkins slam tied it at 7-7, Hawkins untied it with block at the net and Taylor Diemer served up an ace to extend it to 9-7.
It took an eight-point run by the Red Dragons, seven from Cori Lawson's serving, to cut the lead near the end of the game. Lawson led the scoring for McKinley with 12 points.
Up only a point, 23-22, Diemer closed out the second game with a kill and an ace serve.
An Anna Applebee dink gave the Warriors (18-1) a 16-13 lead in the third game, Silvieus fired a trio of aces in a 5-0 run to make it 21-13, and there wasn't enough energy left to make things interesting.
"We just don't have enough good experience on our team to be consistently solid," McKinley coach Susanne Neal said. "All we can do is take the good stuff as it comes along, try to learn from what goes wrong and improve as a team. As that happens, our confidence will also grow and we'll get better. We've had a bad habit of giving up too many easy points.
"Tonight, we didn't give up as many as we have. Still, we played Edgewood before and knew they were a good team. All we can do is try to improve."
Silvieus led the point Warriors' parade with 15 points, Jaime Rogers added 13 and Haley Holden came off the bench to tally 14. Diemer led ths attack with 22-of-24 spiking and 11 kills and Thomas sent home 16 of 19 spikes with 12 aces, most of them early to set the tone early in the match,

I moved to Boston in the fall of 2008 to work at The Steppingstone Foundation, a local non-profit focused on educational access. Since I was helping to build a new organization within the non-profit, I set out to meet more people in my field and build up my network. This was very difficult since Greenhorn Connect hadn't been founded yet. Even finding groups of reform-minded educators was not as easy as I had imagined. I eventually stumbled upon Boston Leaders for the Future of Education (BLFE), an organization geared toward young professionals who were mostly educators passionate about public policy reform.
When you start a company, you are usually in one of two camps: a veteran who has worked at multiple startups and knows the monster challenge you're up against OR a first timer who has limited startup experience but an abundance of passion for the idea you want to solve. In both cases, there's always a lot to learn, but for the strength and vitality of an ecosystem, it's particularly important how we handle educating the first timers.
In trying to decide what to write about today, I found myself torn between a number of topics. None of them jumped out for a full post, so instead, I decided to do shorter thoughts on all three topics.
In the aftermath of the spat between Kirsner and Whadwhatever, it did leave me thinking about what the real challenges in our ecosystem still are and most importantly, what we can do to make it better.
So if you're interested in the topics of Everybody Codes, Startup Ass Kickings and Startup Knowledge sharing, read on...
I've been in the awesome Boston startup community for almost a year and a half now and have learned more than I could hope to measure. At the same time, I've seen where quotes, and tweets both have a knack for occasionally capturing the essence of a key lesson I have learned. For this reason, I've compiled a list of some of my favorite tweets, quotes and other brief lessons I have learned during this time...
Entrepreneurship is cool again. HBO has a TV show. Government is embracing it on the city, state and national stages. Colleges are launching new programs to further embrace entrepreneurship and to help their students create new businesses. The final frontier is upon us now: High School students. As we reach down to them to excite them about startups, let's do the right thing: Encourage them to get technical degrees in College.

Hi there, I'm Cleveland! My friends here at ACCT Philly call me The Cleve and despite my name, I'm a Philadelphia native. I am a young guy - only about 1 to 2 years old. I don't know how to use the calendar so it's my best guess. I got dropped off here at ACCT Philly with my doggie friend Beatrix because my owners could no longer care for me. I like Beatrix but now I'm also ready to have an adventure with a brand new family!
I lovvvvve to play with other dogs.
Do you have a dog that likes to play?
Could I meet him? Or her?
I would love that!
I am around 55 pounds, and I'm told I have a beautiful blue face! The staff here have told me I'm just awesome. I'm inclined to believe them! I guess because I just lovvvve people they say I would make a lovely family dog. Do you have children? Bring them to the shelter to meet me!
I should probably admit right now ... I love people but I don't care for cats. They're weird. I think I'd rather not have to live with a cat.
I have a "Pen Pal" who is teaching me to have even better manners than I had already. She says I'm a pretty easy going boy so if you are interested in meeting me or have any questions email my buddy Sara at email@example.com. They don't let me have email here, but she'll tell me right away. We would love to hear from you!
Or come on down to ACCT Philly at 111 West Hunting Park Avenue in Philly. Directions and more information can be found at acctphilly.org.
Watch Cleveland's videos!

Quote:I think is sad you ended up on the hook for a 're-stocking fee' and the shipping. Considering that OC admitted it was in error and provided a sub-standard product, this horrible experience cost you a lot of time and aggravation, plus the further insult of a financial hit. I'm not impressed.
Quote:Enough of this negative posting diarrhea.
Quote:Quality is your conception, not mine. I do not know how to answer your quality questions in light of never having a problem in the past 23 years of making drives from my numerous world wide customers... (Quote from Review)
I do not get negative reports from the field and consider this situation with Mr. Hayes to be an anomaly. (Quote from above)
Quote: My comments in the review are virtually the same ones that I made directly to him when I received the product and Ive told you how he responded. Ive moved on and the sole intent of my review was to provide a community service with some well-documented information about a product and a vendor. The community at large is better off if we share these kinds of experiences--both good and bad. I dont have any hidden agenda. I gave Mr. Clinard ample opportunity to resolve this issue and he didn't take it so I originally had no intent of trying to get it resolved here...
Quote: He has also publically stated that he will always try to make it right and if he cant, he will stand behind his products with a money back guarantee.
Quote:<< He and I both learned a lot from this episode >>
I certainly hope so. It's just too bad the both of you couldn't have worked out things privately.
Quote:I fully believe the olive branch came only after the story broke and the damage done realized. There was no change of heart due to guilty conscience or ethics...let's be honest with ourselves. Bravo to CloudyNights and Astronomics for providing this service to protect and unite consumers together.

The continuous-linked settlement (CLS) service for foreign exchange trades has changed credit and trading practices among the majority of its users, reveals research from IT consultancy TowerGroup published this week.More than three-quarters of CLS settlement members – those holding direct accounts with the settlement service – report seeing changes to the credit approval process for CLS counterparties, reports RiskNews' sister publication FX Week.
This is taking the form of reduced use of credit limits – 59% of settlement members report this as a result of using CLS – and the elimination of settlement limits altogether for CLS counterparties, according to 15% of settlement members.
"We think logically there should be no more settlement limits for CLS counterparties," said Jonathan Butterfield executive vice-president of marketing and communication at CLS Bank International in New York.
As CLS reduces settlement risk, credit limits may be reduced in line with the reduced likelihood of a default in payment.
However, while evidence is now clearly pointing to changing practices in credit, and counterparty preference, there is no evidence of any changes in prices quoted to CLS members, said Butterfield.
It had been expected that with reduced settlement risk, the cost factored into a trade for that risk could be removed and CLS users would get better prices for forex trades than those outside the CLS community. However, Butterfield said this is not practicable.
Nonetheless, said David Medeiros, director of research for global payments at TowerGroup, "What really came out of this year's survey is that while CLS is designed to reduce systemic settlement risk, the ancillary benefits are now starting to show." This is coming out now, over a year and a half after the service was launched, because its users are now more experienced with the system.
In the survey, CLS users also indicated that they expect to settle 90% more instructions a day on CLS by the end of 2005 – it currently settles an average of 130,000 instructions a day, with a gross value in excess of $1.3 trillion. These expectations, based on settlement members' responses, are a little ahead of CLS's projected numbers, said Butterfield.
41 settlement members and 36 third-party CLS bank users responded to TowerGroup's survey, which was carried out in February.

I expected more. The taste was of an average tobacco with little complexity to it. It provided a single flavor, mild and undistinguished from any other cigar with absolutely no zest. Buy on a budget, other than that try a different brand.Lewis in CT January 23, 2014
"What a Nice surprise!"
I was lucky to get this in a sampler pack and to be perfecly honest, would have never purchased this one on its own. Now, I plan on purchasing a box. Nice... Real Nice.Don in Long Island NY August 9, 2013
"Its the real deal"
This is one of those cigars that lets you know there is a difference between name brand premiums and everything else.. Its just a step above everything else. Very nice and enjoyable. Smoked it to a small nubDon B in Suffolk Va January 30, 2013

"Personal Favorite!"
My favorite everyday smoke. Shared many with friends who've all enjoyed these too! If you like a smooth medium bodied smoke this is the one for you.JB in Centreville, VA January 9, 2013
"Perfect 10 out of 10"
All i have to say is WOW! very good cigar for the price, Very earthy,peppery and leathery flavors.ian in Santa Fe NM July 31, 2012
"No "there!" there."
I must have smoked a bad one. I noticed nothing noteworthy in a good way about this smoke except, it burned good. Very dry tasting smoke. The wrapper fell apart in one spot but stopped. Not too harsh but no flavor that I could detect. Disappointing. Very bland and blah. I've had worse but, I won't bother with these again.Terrance in El Dorado June 9, 2012
"$4. entree fee to Nirvana..."
Nice pre cut cap. Nipped it by tooth. Came out perfect. Nice even burn and spicy start that mellows in the second third. Slow it down during the last third, or it will get hot. Over all, was smooth with light to medium and slightly complex. Finish varied from beginning to the nub. These are great with coffee. For the price, I guess I'm hooked.splattttttt in Boston April 6, 2012
New cigar smoker, I smoke one almost every Sunday while cooking and by far great flavor, burn and aftertaste. Super with few Sam Adams. Not much of nicotine taste "I do not inhale"Tanner in New York March 10, 2012
"Best value/price"
Can`t do better. Value/price exceptional. One third the price of the awful Cohiba robusto. Go for it !James D in Miami January 22, 2012

Study Abroad
Deciding Factors for Pursuing an MBA Abroad
If you are aspiring to pursue MBA from overseas then a lot of questions must be creeping into your minds such as from which university I should pursue MBA, what will be the total expenses, from where to get information regarding university and admissions, how worth will it be to pursue MBA from abroad. Though pursuing an international MBA sounds an exciting idea, it involves a huge investment. But is MBA Abroad really worth the money?
The answer to this question depends on many factors which have to be analyzed comparatively before arriving at a conclusion. Let us weigh these factors and then decide to what extent each factor is applicable to you:
Eligibility Test: - Though almost all the foreign universities have world class facilities and excellent academic environment but admission to these universities requires either a valid GMAT or a TOFEL score. Whereas one can easily score well in CAT, XAT, FMS or other entrance exams of leading B-schools in India by putting the same effort and can easily get admission in top B-schools of India.
International Exposure: - If an MBA aspirant is strongly ambitious of pursuing MBA overseas for an international exposure, he can opt for the same. Otherwise the students can pursue MBA from premier institutes of India and can participate in industry exchange programs where they can get opportunities to study overseas for a short period or can even get entry to foreign internship programs.
Cost: - Money is the ultimate bottom-line. Despite of the fact that all reputed universities across the globe offer Scholarships for international candidates, the number of candidates being awarded the same is limited. The fee structure of foreign universities is apparently higher than that of Indian B-Schools, and if the other expenses are also considered such as living expenses, accommodation, study visits, consumables and equipment, it could cross our budget. So in this case assume that you are not going to get any scholarship and then look at the funds available at your disposal. If you have sufficient funds then pursuing MBA from abroad can be a good idea. But if you have financial constraints then you need to think on it. Bank loans are available but opt for it only if you are confident about your successful completion of course and you manage to get a job.
Job Opportunities: - Another factor driving Indian students to overseas is job opportunities. It is the apprehension of candidates that MBA in India will not fetch them good jobs. Whereas now most of the MNCs prefer visiting campuses in India for hiring MBA graduates which is great achievement. International firms, though allures everyone but requires strong network and moreover international candidates are always preferred over Indian candidates.
What are your future plans-? One of the important question is do you wish to settle in abroad? For some, answer to this question may be yes while for few it may be no. If you are confident of taking a job abroad rather than managing to get one, then you can think of taking a loan and going abroad to study. Otherwise if you are planning to return to India just after completion of your course then you should think twice before going. Remember that an international MBA is valuable only if you are pursuing it from some of the top international universities such as Harvard or Oxford.
Lastly, you can spend all your money, take a loan, and get into the best school but ultimately what matters is how well you can market yourself. That is what will get you handsome salary packages.Do you like this story?

CHARLESTON, W.V. (AP) - Lawyers for a 22-year-old Mingo County man who says three West Virginia state troopers and several local officers repeatedly assaulted him have filed a lawsuit in federal court.
Calvin Wilkerson alleges in his lawsuit in U.S. District Court that the officers violated his constitutional rights when they were called to oversee his forced admission into a mental hospital. Wilkerson's lawyers said troopers repeatedly beat him with batons, kicked him and shot pepper spray into his face after picking him up
in January 2009.
After another round of beatings, officers released him into the cold without jacket or shoes, and allowed police dogs to attack him, according to the lawsuit.
In addition to state police and individual officers, Wilkerson is suing the Mingo County Commission, the sheriff's department and Williamson police.

OPM: D.C.-Area Feds Should Consider Leaving Office Early to Avoid Frigid Temperatures
- By Eric Katz
- January 7, 2014
- Leave a comment
Federal agencies should allow their employees to telework or leave their offices early to avoid commuting during the most extreme temperatures today, the Office of Personnel Management said in a memorandum addressing the frigid weather blanketing the Washington, D.C. region on Tuesday.
The temperature dropped to single digits early in the Washington area Tuesday morning -- with the wind chill dipping below zero -- due to the "polar vortex," a windy, cold weather pattern usually reserved for the Arctic.
"[OPM] reminds federal agencies of the workplace flexibilities available to employees, as an arctic air mass is projected to bring dangerously low temperatures and wind chill values into the Washington, D.C., metropolitan area over the next few days," the memo from OPM Director Katherine Archuleta stated.
Several schools in the region were closed or delayed on Tuesday. Temperatures are expected to increase on Wednesday and return to normal later in the week. In the meantime, however, OPM is advising employees to take caution.
"As we prepare to experience the coldest temperatures since 1994, agencies should be proactive in protecting the health and well-being of our employees and take all available steps to ensure they are protected during potentially dangerous frigid weather conditions," Archuleta said.
Employees with telework agreements should be able to work from home to "avoid frigid conditions" or address family needs, OPM said. Additionally, workers should be able to adjust arrival and departure times so they do not have to travel during the coldest times of the day. OPM suggested employees can take annual leave if they feel the weather threatens their welfare.
The freezing temperatures have spread from the Midwest to the Northeast and the Mid-Atlantic, affecting nearly half the American population along the way.

Counting down to Sri Lanka
Posted in England Women
After a week in Australia we're really starting to settle in and get used to our surroundings.
Sydney is really gearing up for Mardi Gras on March 7 – a fantastic spectacle apparently but we'll be in Canberra for our first World Cup game against Sri Lanka. The jetlag is almost gone and I am pleased to report that we're all now managing to sleep right through!
We've had a busy week with five training sessions and our first warm-up match against New South Wales Breakers on Friday. They are now coached by former England coach Richard Bates who took England to their last World Cup.
We cruised to victory, bowling them all out for 99 and then hitting the winning runs after a flying start from Sarah Taylor and Caroline Atkins who hit 59 before retiring to make way for Lottie and Tayls to have a chance in the middle too. Lottie fell to an lbw decision and then Ebony, who replaced her in the middle, also got out, so it was up to Lydia and Tayls to see us home.
We've been doing some interviews and various media activities too in the lead-up to the World Cup.
On Tuesday I took three players - Lottie, Ebony and Laura Marsh while the rest were all in the gym - to the North Sydney Oval, where the final will be held, to meet the tournament ambassadors and take part in a photo shoot and do some interviews.
We were expecting interview legend Michael Parkinson to be there but were informed on arrival that he was actually flying home that day! What a shame – we were under strict instructions from Jack Birkenshaw to ask him out for dinner!
We did however meet a lot of Australian celebrities who are going to play a part in supporting this inaugural ICC Women's World Cup. My main job that day was to hold up the backdrops as the breeze kept blowing them over – such a glamorous life!
On Wednesday the girls had a recovery session with a difference. After training in the morning we all headed down to Bondi Beach to 'recover' in the sea. Given that the management team are also training we felt it was appropriate for us to have a dip too. The waves were so strong, but so much fun, so a good half hour was spent riding the waves and frolicking in the ocean.
That afternoon we spent doing more interviews with Isa, Lottie and Ebony before we had our own Pancake day (English time!). Gemma Broad, our analyst, put her culinary skills to good use to cook us some gnocchi and pesto for a very Genovese dinner.
We had our first and only day off of the tour on Saturday. For players anyway – the management had meetings and emails to get through before they could enjoy themselves.
After a brief shop in the morning to buy a sunhat, something I forgot in my packing, we headed down to Bondi again for a spot of sunbathing. It was my first time driving in Australia and it was quite fun driving on these really wide roads, which are like freeways. For the first time since we've been here though the roads were rammed and it felt a bit like driving in London.
After a few hours on the beach, another paddle and, for some, a brief appreciation of what the beach had to offer (!), we headed back into the city for a management meal in honour of Shawsy (Paul Shaw) who was leaving the next day.
He's been out working with the girls and assisting Laney and Jack for the first week of the tour. I shared a fresh seafood platter with Crumpy (Ian Crump, our S&C coach) who assured me it was very healthy – "low in fat, high in protein" - so we both got stuck into a massive plate of calamari, octopus, king prawns, salmon, lobster, crab, mussels and oysters.
After an early training session on Sunday, Gemma and I bravely headed to the next ground to check out the facilities. Our sat nav didn't recognise the location and it took us well over the estimated half an hour to get there.
Even the locals didn't seem to know where we were going, so we had a quick high five on arrival before we got down to business. That afternoon I set about writing my blog and organising the players with their various blogs including Sarah Taylor who's doing a video diary for ESPN Sports.

MBA Class of 1966 Professor of Management Practice, Joseph L. Rice, III Faculty Fellow
SANDRA J. SUCHER joined the Technology and Operations Management Unit faculty of Harvard Business School after 25 years in industry and nonprofit management. She has led and taught the required MBA course, "Leadership and Corporate Accountability" and has taught "The Moral Leader" – an elective in the MBA curriculum. She has also taught "Technology and Operations Management" and related courses in various Executive Education programs. Her current research focuses on the human costs of layoffs and their alternatives; she also studies moral leadership, learning through literature, and the management of differences. Professor Sucher has published two books on the Moral Leader course: an instructor's guide, Teaching The Moral Leader: A Literature-Based Leadership Course (Routledge 2007), and a student textbook, The Moral Leader: Challenges, Tools, and Insights (Routledge 2008).
From 1986 until 1998, Sucher worked at Fidelity Investments. As Vice President of Corporate Quality, she focused the firm's division-level quality groups on customer loyalty research. As Vice President of Retail Service Quality, she set service strategy for the retail business and improved service and operations processes, introducing process management as a framework for cross-functional improvement.

She wrote the proposal, approved by Federated Department Stores, to expand Filene's Basement from a single store to a national chain. She led a reorganization of the business, creating a separate career path for store management executives. In her last assignment, as Vice President of Customer Service, she improved customer service for Filene's then 14-unit regional business.Sucher began her career as a Director of Education and Research for The Sanctuary, Inc., a non-profit drop-in drug treatment, education, and research facility.Sucher's Board assignments include: Board of Governors - Harvard Business School Association of Boston (2000 - 2005); Director of Port Financial (2000 - 2003); Chairman of the Better Business Bureau (1994-1996); Director of The Eliot Bank (1986 -1990); Radcliffe Management Seminars Program Advisory Board (1980 - 2000); and Director of the National Coordinating Council on Drug Education (1972-74).Sucher received her MBA from Harvard Business School in 1976 with first- and second-year honors; she also earned a Masters of Arts in Teaching from the Harvard Graduate School of Education and a BA from the University of Michigan. Sucher is a member of Phi Beta Kappa.
The Moral Leader: Challenges, Insights and Tools
Student Textbook
Successful leaders – at any level and in any arena – are inevitably presented with moral and ethical choices. This unique and innovative textbook is designed to encourage students and managers to confront those fundamental moral challenges, to develop skills in moral analysis and judgment, and to come to terms with their own definition of moral leadership and how it can be translated into action. Drawing on the inspiration of major literary and historical figures such as Machiavelli, Conrad, Shackleton and Achebe, and based upon an impressive array of literary sources, including novels, plays, history and biography, the book centers on four questions implicitly asked of all leaders:
The Moral Leader is based upon the renowned course of the same name taught at Harvard Business School for over two decades. With an emphasis on decision-making and action, students learn to identify moral problems, to address them systematically, and to develop skills that aid them throughout their studies and their professional lives. At times challenging, insightful, and always illuminating, this book is essential reading for all serious students of leadership, management, business ethics or policy.

Teaching the Moral Leader: A Literature-Based Leadership Course
Instructor Manual
This book is a comprehensive, practical manual to help instructors integrate moral leadership in their own courses, drawing from the experience and resources of the Harvard Business School course 'The Moral Leader', an MBA elective taken by thousands of HBS students over nearly twenty years. Through the close study of literature--novels, plays, and historical accounts-- followed by rigorous classroom discussion, this innovative course encourages students to confront fundamental moral challenges, to develop skills in moral analysis and judgment, and to come to terms with their own definition of moral leadership. Using this guide's background material and detailed teaching plans, instructors will be well prepared to lead their students in the study of this vital and important subject. Featuring a website to run alongside that links the manual with the textbook and provides a wealth of extra resources, including on-line links to Harvard Business School case studies and teaching notes this manual forms a perfect complement to The Moral Leader core text also by Sandra Sucher.
The detailed and hands-on nature of the guide makes it possible for instructors, with or without a specialized background, to replicate the 13-session Harvard Business School course, or to integrate moral leadership into an existing course, or as a module, or as stand-alone sessions. The manual presents flexible class plans, easily adaptable to a wide variety of business and academic topics. It suggests how to adapt the course to other settings, provides supporting materials, and reviews the approach to teaching "The Moral Leader," differentiating it from other literature-based courses. The author, a Harvard Business School professor with a successful record in teaching this course, also brings into the text the kind of real world understanding of effective leadership development that comes from decades of experience as a high level corporate executive.
An accompanying student book, focused on class preparation and the context of each work, helps students address questions like: What is the nature of a moral challenge? How do people "reason morally"? How do leaders – formal and informal – contend with the moral choices they face? How is moral leadership different from leadership of any other kind? Struggling with these questions, both individually and as members of a vibrant learning community, students internalize moral leadership concepts and choices, and develop the skills to pursue it in their careers and personal lives.

TEAMS: Detroit Red Wings
TEAMS: Detroit Red Wings
The Detroit Red Wings have slipped from being regarded as an elite NHL team, getting knocked out of the playoffs in the first round after consecutive second-round exits. Just three years ago, the team was a win away from repeating as Stanley Cup champions and seemed set up to sustain the success it and its fans have gotten used to for a couple decades. Detroit coach Mike Babcock believes a splash-making summer could restore the franchise's glory. ''We have tons of money and if we can use our cap space to get high-end free agents, we have a shot to get right back on top,'' Babcock said in a telephone interview with The Associated Press on Sunday, two days after Nashville eliminated Detroit. ''If we're fortunate in free agency, we won't have to look at going in another direction. ''The standard here has always been to chase the Stanley Cup, so as a coach, I'm hoping the free-agent market helps us continue to have those goals.'' The Red Wings led the NHL in points a couple months ago, but injuries to several players led to them slipping enough to be the fifth-seeded team in the Western Conference playoffs with a tough matchup against the fourth-seeded Predators. ''We never recovered,'' Babcock said. ''We never really got Darren Helm back and that hurt the balance we had on our third and fourth lines. Teams could check Z (Henrik Zetterberg) and Pav (Pavel Datsyuk) like crazy and get away with it.'' Detroit didn't have enough depth up front and had too many miscues on the back end against the Predators. ''When you make defensive mistakes and you don't score your problems are magnified,'' Babcock said.
