Those Whirlpool water heaters are AKA Craftmaster. Craftmaster is made by American water Heaters.
Home Quarters sold that,
Central Hardware sold that,
Builder's Square sold that,
Furrow's sold that.
Lowe's currently sells it and it's always cheaper than the competition. For every person that installs one, 4 will keep buying not knowing they have warranty options to cover the cost. In the grand scheme of things this means that they take their chances knowing that they can keep selling them and make money at doing so. The odds are in their favor.
That tank is the notorious for being the most inexpensive built tank, ever.
To give benefit of the doubt, hard water/high water pressure, lack of dielectrics, grounding issues..........do any of these play a part in its failure?

Carolina has fired Paul Maurice and hired Kirk Muller. I will post a column breaking this down later today as well.
I will have a fantasy breakdown of the Bruce Boudreau firing later this morning. A reader suggested that I do breakdowns for coaching changes, not just trades. And I think that's a great idea.
Edmonton Oilers among the league's top 20 scorers last week: Ryan Smyth, Ryan Nugent-Hopkins and Jordan Eberle. The last time that was the case was during the 1986-87 season when Wayne Gretzky was leading the league, Jari Kurri was second and Mark Messier was tied with Mario Lemieux for third. (Rich Chere)
Steve Mason was back in the lineup – the backup goalie. Keep him on the bench until the Jackets get a real good run going, then try him. Set him up to succeed, for the sake of his career.
New LA Kings lines: Kopitar with Brown and Hunter, Richards with Stoll and Gagne, Loktionov with Williams and Clifford.
Jaroslav Halak will get the next start, per STLtoday.com. This is further to my little ramble below.
The new line combos for Calgary really paid off, given the five goals that team scored. Jarome Iginla got on the board playing with Glencross and Jokinen. Don't forget, last year Iginla had just 10 points in his first 17 games. This year he has 11 in 22 so far. Last year he posted 76 points in his last 65 games.
TJ Brodie now has three points in his last five games. Ice time is still a concern (14 minutes Sunday), but he's producing enough to make it difficult to be sent back down. Not a bad waiver pickup if you need a depth blueliner.
So far Blake Comeau is pointless in two games for the Flames and his ice time slipped from 15:08 to 12:25. Small sample size, but not very promising.
Niklas Backstrom got the hook after allowing three goals on just eight shots. This is coming off a shutout, but it is also coming 10 days after his last start.
Meanwhile Josh Harding stopped 25 of 27. The longer he plays like a Top 10 NHL goalie, the more difficult it becomes for the Wild to keep putting Backstrom out there. But it's the same situation as in St. Louis – the backup is playing lights-out hockey, but the starter is the starter in both name and contract. Politics will often ensure that the favored player continues to get his chances to turn things around.
Same will go with Richard Bachman if he plays 'lights out' for Dallas while Kari Lehtonen is on the IR (but for that to happen Andrew Raycroft will have to play his way out of the replacement role).
Elliott, by the way, got another win. He's 10-1-0. This is Brian freakin' Elliott, though. He of inconsistent play in Ottawa and terrible play in Colorado. Has he really found a magic potion? I still say no, but as long as the W's continue he will cannibalize Halak starts.
Kris Russell is now up to four points in eight games and is plus-5 for St.Louis. He doesn't shoot – just seven shots in eight games since joining the Blues. But he has five goals on his 27 shots this year. His PP time beat Shattenkirk's last night, which I found interesting.
Derick Brassard has been scratched six times in the last eight games. Considering the team is on a 4-2-2 run in that span, I don't see the situation changing. He needs a new team and frankly I think he'll eventually get one this season.
Taylor Hall will be evaluated today. He left Saturday's contest with an injured shoulder. I'm looking at Magnus Paajarvi as the exact person to replace Hall's offensive role.
Mikhail Grabovski was back in the lineup for the Leafs Sunday, but did not hit the scoresheet. Despite his return, Joe Colborne remained in the lineup and picked up another point. In five career games, Colborne has points in four of them.
Joey Crabb has scored in three straight games. That's related the Colborne point above, as the two play together.
Jake Gardiner played 25:15 to lead the Leafs against his former organization Anaheim. Next highest was Phaneuf at 22:58. This on the heels of 28:34 on Friday.
Tyler Bozak now has 11 points in his last nine contests. He's on pace for 57, which is more than achievable for him on this line.
Amazingly, Ryan Getzlaf has not been a plus player during his six-game points streak. He is minus-9 in that span.
It seems as though Anaheim and Washington are each playing to get their coach fired. I think the Ducks will succeed first, if either of them do. Obviously have to re-word this, as Washington coach Bruce Boudreau has been canned.
Bobby Ryan has two points and is minus-8 in the last six games. He's a much better player than this. But the entire team has to gear down on the offense to compensate for the horrible goaltending.
If Hiller isn't a rock, which an .897 SP indicates that he is not, then the entire dynamic of the team crumbles. Not that Dan Ellis is a great goaltender (I've actually been very critical of him, even during his strong Nashville season), but his .929 SP warrants him some more starts. Update: Ellis is injured, Jeff Deslaurier has been recalled., so point is moot.
Kaspars Daugavins has three points in his last four games for the Sens. He's a potential second liner, but I didn't have any high hopes of seeing him there. However, his tenure in the NHL so far has been solid during his latest call-up.
Nikita Filatov played a season high 15:07. Finally, he was used properly. The line – zero points, plus-1 and one shot. Not great but not bad. I hope it's enough to see 15 minutes next game as well.
How awesome is Erik Karlsson? Leads the LEAGUE still in assists with 20.
The Hurricanes scratched Tomas Kaberle for the first time, as the wheels continue to fall off.
Alec Martinez is still a week away from taking contact. This is relevant, not because he such a fantasy stud, but because his return could take Voynov out. And Voynov is a good one. But Voynov is playing so well I think he will make it hard for Martinez to get his spot back.

The District 11 Class A girls basketball tournament typically belongs to the Schuylkill League.
Notre Dame-East Stroudsburg hopes its experienced roster can end that trend this season.
The Spartans have a month left to prepare for one final shot at a state playoff berth with their current group. Led by junior Angelica Bertola, the area's leading scorer entering play Thursday (20.3 points per game), Notre Dame has been building toward this season since its rotation came together in the 2010-11 season.
Bertola, Rebecca Bailey, Amanda Smith, Lacey LaRezza, Kellie Leming, Virginia Pope and Tolu Oladugbewo all began logging major minutes that season. Together they helped the Spartans go 14-8 overall and reach the District 11 A playoffs, where they lost a quarterfinal game to Moravian Academy.
Notre Dame pushed its record to 18-5 last season, running off 13 straight wins at one point and claiming the No. 2 seed for districts. Its playoff run was again limited to one game, as it fell 47-42 in overtime to a Marian Catholic team that finished second in the district but wound up reaching the state semifinals.
This season has featured a few more fits and starts for the Spartans. Their longest winning streak is three games.
Like many teams over the last few weeks, they have watched players come in and out of the lineup because of illnesses. They suffered a disappointing loss Saturday at Salisbury, squandering a six-point third-quarter lead, but came back to drill Lehigh Valley Christian 59-24. They need two more wins to lock up a return to districts and began Thursday sitting third in the District 11 A power rankings, behind three-time defending district champion Tri-Valley and Marian Catholic.
"The potential for them is unlimited," Notre Dame coach Frank Bertola said of his players after Saturday's visit to Salisbury. "They are a talented group of girls. Lucky for them, they had the pleasure of playing with each other for three years. It's just a matter of when they're going to pick it up a notch and really make that big, loud noise."
The next month will give the Spartans a chance to raise their level of play to where Frank Bertola wants it. As an independent program, Notre Dame's only postseason focus is districts.
The Spartans showed their potential against Salisbury despite an off shooting night from Angelica Bertola. Bailey impressed with her speed and hands on defense, and LaRezza gave them a presence inside.
They also showed they have room to grow, defending with enough indifference at one point that Frank Bertola pulled all five girls off the floor in the fourth quarter. Eliminating defensive lapses figures to be a focus for the Spartans as they gear up for districts.
Tri-Valley (13-2 entering Thursday) is loaded again and Marian Catholic took a 9-3 mark into play Thursday. Bertola hopes the schedule the Spartans have played will have them ready for the Schuylkill League powers come playoff time. Their losses prior to facing Salisbury came to Wallenpaupack, a 4A school from District 2; Nativity, another Schuylkill League program; and North Warren (N.J.).
"To this point, the girls have played well," Bertola said. "They've played as well as I've expected."
Hardwood Super Tuesday
U.S. voters won't see another Super Tuesday until the 2016 presidential election season. Lehigh Valley girls basketball fans only have to wait until next week for their version of Super Tuesday.
The four teams positioned to make the Lehigh Valley Conference playoffs will be involved in two matchups Tuesday. Bethlehem Catholic, the East Division leader, will visit Parkland, which is tied for the North Division lead. West Division leader Central Catholic and Nazareth, which is tied with Parkland in the North, will also face off.
The Colonial League schedule will also feature a pair of heavyweight games. Northwestern, the North Division leader, will take on Notre Dame-Green Pond, the South Division leader. Bangor and Southern Lehigh, the front-runners for the Colonial League's two wild-card berths, will square off in a rematch of last year's league final won by Southern Lehigh.
With wins Tuesday, Bethlehem Catholic and Northwestern can take commanding leads in the race for the top spot in their respective league playoffs. Bethlehem Catholic has already beaten Central Catholic and Nazareth. After playing Parkland, the Golden Hawks will face only one more LVC team (Liberty) with a winning record.
Northwestern owns wins over Bangor and Southern Lehigh. The Tigers will see Bangor again in their second round of North Division games, but the rest of their league schedule is favorable.
Happy returns

LEXINGTON, Ky., Dec. 10, 2013 – After collecting over 300 kills and 150 blocks and being named a First Team All-Colonial Athletic Association performer, James Madison junior middle blocker Lizzy Briones (Siloam Springs, Ark./Siloam Springs) added American Volleyball Coaches Association All-East Coast Region Honorable Mention honors on Tuesday.
Briones is the first Duke to earn All-Region accolades since Jena Pierson (2004-07) and Allyson Halls (2004-07) earned Honorable Mentions in 2006. The junior from Siloam Springs, Ark., finished the season with 308 kills on .285 hitting, adding 154 blocks, 89 digs, 16 service aces and 10 assists. She was the only player in the Colonial Athletic Association with more than 300 kills and 100 blocks, helping her earn First Team All-CAA honors for the first time in her career.
Briones' 154 blocks is the second-highest single-season total in school history and her 133 blocks assists and 1.387 blocks per set also rank second in program history for a single season. Those totals also helped the middle blocker climb up JMU's career lists, ranking fifth in school history in block assists (297), ninth in total blocks (345) and second in block average (1.06/set).
In 2013, Briones had 10 or more blocks five times, including a career-best 11 in back-to-back matches against Northeastern and Hofstra. She also set a career high with 24 kills in JMU's opening match of the season against Hofstra.
The Dukes went 13-15 on the season with an 8-6 mark in the CAA. They finished tied for third in the conference and earned the fourth-seed in the CAA tournament.
Three other CAA student-athletes earned AVCA All-Region nods on Tuesday. Northeastern libero Natalia Skiba was named to the All-East Region Team, while the College of Charleston's outside hitter Darcy Dorton earned All-East Coast Region honors. Dorton's teammate, right side Sloane White joined Briones amongst the All-East Coast honorable mentions.

LINCOLN — At 6 years old, Tanner Miller cried after Nebraska's Tom Osborne coached his last football game in the 1998 Orange Bowl.
And dressed in red like hundreds of other young Husker fans, he would line up along the rope underneath Memorial Stadium to get a glimpse of Nebraska players during the Tunnel Walk. He'd get their gloves or wristbands and wear them.
"The coolest thing ever," Miller said.
Growing up in Superior, Neb., Miller had every intention of playing football for NU. Maybe he'd walk on like his dad, Brian, and uncle, Kevin, did in the 1980s. His 6-foot-2, 201-pound frame fits the profile of a Husker free safety. So, too, does his 3.56 grade-point average.
But Miller starts for Iowa. How'd that happen?
A move to Kalona, Iowa, just 15 minutes south of Iowa City, after Miller's seventh-grade year was the catalyst. A standout career at Mid-Prairie High School, which led to a last-minute scholarship offer from Hawkeye coach Kirk Ferentz, had more to do with it.
After rushing for 4,100 yards in his career at Mid-Prairie, Miller committed to Northern Iowa, but was strongly considering walking on at Nebraska. He took a late December visit to NU's campus and liked it. And, of course, there were all the memories of his youth. On Feb. 1, 2010, the choice remained between a UNI scholarship or a walk-on spot at Nebraska.
But something caught Ferentz's eye about Miller. He'd taken in-state kids at the last minute before and watched them blossom into NFL players. He saw the same potential in Miller.
"He was just a good all-around athlete," Ferentz said. "We had a spot open."
Iowa told Brian Miller his son would be getting the offer. Brian called Tanner, who was with his Mid-Prairie basketball teammates. You'll be getting a big call later, Brian told his son. Tanner got the call from Ferentz while he was on the team bus. His teammates — "all Hawkeye fans," Tanner said — exploded in excitement.
Miller had a new coolest moment. Although he'd initially resisted being an Iowa fan after the middle school move, trips to Kinnick Stadium changed his mind. Hawkeye fans, Miller said, have the same kind of passion that Husker fans do.
"It started slow, but I fell in love with it," Miller said.
Miller made sure Ferentz didn't regret the scholarship offer, either. He played in eight games as a true freshman and started as a sophomore, returning an interception 98 yards for a touchdown versus Northwestern. He had 76 tackles last season and 63 this year. He also fulfilled a lifelong dream, he said, by playing at Memorial Stadium last year in Nebraska's 20-7 win over the Hawkeyes.
Now NU comes to Kinnick Stadium, and all 4-7 Iowa can do is spoil the Huskers' run toward a Big Ten title. The Miller family, which typically splits its loyalties between Nebraska and Iowa, will be clothed entirely in black and gold on Friday.
"It'd be huge," Miller said of a possible Iowa win. "We need it. It'd be something to build off of for next year."
But should the Hawkeyes pull the upset, Miller wouldn't mind one bit if Ohio State beat Michigan on Saturday to still send Nebraska to the Big Ten Championship game.
"That'd be cool to watch," Miller said.

"Las Vegas is casino-centric. It needs to be customer-centric," says Sheldon Adelson, chairman of the board, The Venetian Resort-Hotel. "We are the only convention-based hotel in Las Vegas."
Not that the Venetian is turning away casino-only guests. It's just that Adelson designed the Venetian--with its 3,036 guest rooms (all 700-square-foot, two-level suites) and the 1.7 million square feet of meeting and convention space at The Venetian and the adjacent Sands Expo Center--with meetings in mind.
Adelson is not new to success. He bought Comdex in 1969 and sold it in 1992 for nearly $900 million, but not before building the Sands Expo Center to house what would become the world's largest computer show.
Adelson imploded the neighboring Sands Hotel, which, despite its Rat Pack legend, wasn't big enough to support the huge shows he hoped to draw to the Expo Center.
He recognized early on that smaller confabs grew up around large shows, and that high-tech professionals needed to "carry their offices with them" while on the road.
The Venetian, which opened in May 1999, while amazingly true to its Renaissance Venice theme, is not at all cheesy. It includes 65 upscale shops surrounding the Grand Canal, complete with functional gondolas and singing gondoliers. (It's nearly impossible to visit The Venetian and not come back with some Murano glass.)
Guest programs can also be built around visits to the property's 100,000-square-foot Canyon Ranch SpaClub, which offers a 40-foot rock climbing wall and more than 100 spa treatments. Canyon Ranch chose the Venetian to premier its SpaClub concept, which features a complete fitness facility with classes; a wellness center with physicians, nutritionists and educators; and spa cuisine.
For those not-quite-so-healthful meals, The Venetian has 14 other restaurants--no slackers here--with such signature establishments as Wolfgang Puck's Postrio and Larry Mindel (of Il Fornaio's) Canaletto.
On With the Show Beaming over a London Mail quote calling the Venetian "one of the 10 grandest hotels in the world," Adelson ate with a guest last December in a makeshift conference room cum office in the bowels of the Sands Expo Center.
The office's walls were covered with blueprints of The Venetian's Phase Two, scheduled for completion in 2001. With another 3,000 rooms, the Venetian will be the largest hotel in the world.
Adelson says that the Venetian's att-
raction also comes from its competitive pricing. It's not unusual to get a $149 group room rate, which probably peaks at $229.
"We approached the design of the hotel as if it were a city," Adelson says, "with the meeting or event as its heart."
A Good Bet for Meeting Attendees The Venetian caters to business and convention travelers, not casino clientele, because: * Most of the 15 restaurants are operated by the owner or chef, not by the hotel. The onus falls on the chef or owner to make the establishment financially successful because his reputation on the line.
* All guest rooms feature parlor-like design in a two-level suite, allowing business meetings to take place away from the bedroom.
* All guest rooms offer a minibar in each suite (for entertaining), fax machines, safes, and three telephones with dual lines and data port access.

It is our mission at BCEMS to provide a life-long skills foundation for our students through the education of the head, heart and hands.
More specifically, we expect our students to think in an outside-the-box manner, solve problems effectively and with confidence, demonstrate excellence, seek sources of personal inspiration, and serve others with a sense of commitment and pride.
Berry College Middle School has a one class per grade structure for grades 5 through 8. Our curriculum is based on national standards and we consciously strive to teach students the joy of learning. Our students regularly achieve in the superior range on standardized assessments, and our teachers place a strong emphasis on building and strengthening fundamentals in all major content areas. Teaching and learning at Berry is guided by an integrated constructivist model of theory and practice, in which students construct knowledge and apply it in new ways based on their experiences both in and outside of the classroom.
Middle school students at BCMS take classes in the Barstow and Hamrick Hall buildings on the mountain campus, they take advantage of quarterly College Week Experiences in the Cook building on the College's main campus. Our students have regular opportunities to work, play and learn using the wealth of Berry College's resources, including its broad base of research, laboratory & athletic facilities.
Our middle school is designed to gradually increase the level of academic rigor and structure as students age and develop. 7th and 8th graders at BCMS are responsible for navigating class changes, managing work loads, excelling on mid-year and final exams, and engaging as participants in the wealth of extracurricular activities offered at the school.
In addition to their work in core academic classes, BCMS students have the opportunity to study Algebra, Spanish, journalism, drumming, film and puppetry. Students with exceptional ability in a particular area of interest may in the 8th grade opt to engage in an independent study (such as Geometry, Advanced Algebra, Spanish 2, etc.) under the supervision of our middle school faculty.
All students at BCMS contribute as school leaders. These students help manage our weekly assemblies, plan and lead our monthly Viking Assembly held at Frost Chapel, contribute their time as "buddies" to lower grade students, serve as members of our H3O (Head, Heart and Hands) Service Organization, and mentor younger students at the Elementary School. As service learning is a key philosophy at Berry, all middle school students engage in a variety of service projects, applying their newly mastered skills in service to the community.
A Capstone Experience is required of each student in the 8th grade. Serving as an educational rite of passage at BCEMS, this experience engages each student's academic (head), reflective (heart) and service (hands) skills, thereby enhancing one's understanding of social justice as a core principle of democracy. The Capstone Experience contains four phases of independent study, all of which are completed and documented within a student portfolio over the course of an academic year.
While many schools work to phase out shared studies classes like physical education, art and music, we at Berry believe in the power of an integrated curriculum aiding the development of a well-rounded child. That is why we purposely and regularly integrate the following additional experiences into our weekly middle school schedule:
At BCMS, we believe in the power of hands-on learning. Our classes regularly use the wealth of land and resources at Berry College for study and also pursue a variety of learning opportunities away from Berry's campus. Some of our middle school field trips & activities include:
Costa Rica expedition, Earthworks Pottery, Berry Science Lab, Berry College Water treatment plant, Berry College Dairy, Tremont Science Center, Georgia Aquarium, Channel 9 Experience, Raccoon Mountain spelunking, Weinman Mineral Museum, Martha Berry Museum, Jamestown, Okefenokee Swamp, fossil hunting expedition, Cumberland Island, Yorktown, Tybee Island, Ship & Sea Museum, Etowah River Trip, & local area plays/festivals/events.

Please let us know if you have found any errors not listed on this list by completing our errata submission form. Our editors will check them and add them to this list. Thank you.
Errata- 21 submitted: last submission 17 Apr 2014
Errata type: Code | Page number: 30
The text says "Let fbt2 be the winning polynomial of degree 2" but it is not shown how it is declared.
With fbt2 the author was referring to the polynomial of degree 2 and did not show the code explicitly as it is obvious after having shown how to fit the poly for 1d.
In the code file analyze_webstats.py, you can see how it is calculated:
train = sorted(shuffled[split_idx:])
fbt1 = sp.poly1d(sp.polyfit(xb[train], yb[train], 1))
fbt2 = sp.poly1d(sp.polyfit(xb[train], yb[train], 2))
fbt3 = sp.poly1d(sp.polyfit(xb[train], yb[train], 3))
fbt10 = sp.poly1d(sp.polyfit(xb[train], yb[train], 10))
fbt100 = sp.poly1d(sp.polyfit(xb[train], yb[train], 100))
Errata type: Code | Page number: 30
Line 8 in the first code snippet:
clf.fit(X, Y)
should be:
Errata type: Code | Page number: 35
# use numpy operations to get setosa features
is_setosa = (labels == 'setosa')
The variable labels is not defined earlier. Has to replace that code with:
is_setosa = (target == 0)
Another solution the author suggests is to add the following line before is_setosa = (labels == 'setosa')
target_names = data['target_names']
labels = target_names[target]
Errata type: Code | Page number: 54
Next to last code block; method body should be indented:
>>> import scipy as sp
>>> def dist_raw(v1, v2):
... delta = v1-v2
... return sp.linalg.norm(delta.toarray())
Errata type: Code | Page number: 55
Missing line where "dist" is set to "dist_raw". The method "dist_raw" is defined on the bottom of page 54, but then "dist" is used on page 55. Confusing. In the downloaded code, you can see the omitted line.
Errata type: Code | Page number: 58
This should have a line break before u'imagin':
Errata type: Code | Page number: 67
'comp.sys.ma c.hardware' should not have a space. This was in the results generated by the author: >>> print(len(train_data.filenames) 3414 The actual result is "4119" if the group name is fixed.
Errata type: Code | Page number: 68
"We now have a pool of 3,414..."
See previous error on Page 67. The errant space in the code causes the entire "comp.sys.mac.hardward" group to be skipped.
Note from the authors: Code for Chapter 6
As you might know, Twitter changes its API from time to time. When the authors edited the book, they asked Twitter whether they would release the data to ease this foreseeable pain point of our users. Unfortunately, this was not possible. Therefore, they have put all the book's code examples on GitHub, where they actively maintain it. In the case of chapter 6, Twitter changed its API in version 1.1 to now require user authentication. Willi has just pushed an updated version to the code that correctly handles the new API 1.1: https://github.com/luispedro/BuildingMachineLearningSystemsWithPython/tree/master/ch06

In Detail
Machine learning, the field of building systems that learn from data, is exploding on the Web and elsewhere. Python is a wonderful language in which to develop machine learning applications. As a dynamic language, it allows for fast exploration and experimentation and an increasing number of machine learning libraries are developed for Python.
Building Machine Learning system with Python shows you exactly how to find patterns through raw data. The book starts by brushing up on your Python ML knowledge and introducing libraries, and then moves on to more serious projects on datasets, Modelling, Recommendations, improving recommendations through examples and sailing through sound and image processing in detail.
Using open-source tools and libraries, readers will learn how to apply methods to text, images, and sounds. You will also learn how to evaluate, compare, and choose machine learning techniques.
Written for Python programmers, Building Machine Learning Systems with Python teaches you how to use open-source libraries to solve real problems with machine learning. The book is based on real-world examples that the user can build on.
Readers will learn how to write programs that classify the quality of StackOverflow answers or whether a music file is Jazz or Metal. They will learn regression, which is demonstrated on how to recommend movies to users. Advanced topics such as topic modeling (finding a text's most important topics), basket analysis, and cloud computing are covered as well as many other interesting aspects.
Building Machine Learning Systems with Python will give you the tools and understanding required to build your own systems, which are tailored to solve your problems.
A practical, scenario-based tutorial, this book will help you get to grips with machine learning with Python and start building your own machine learning projects. By the end of the book you will have learnt critical aspects of machine learning Python projects and experienced the power of ML-based systems by actually working on them.
Who this book is for
This book is for Python programmers who are beginners in machine learning, but want to learn Machine learning. Readers are expected to know Python and be able to install and use open-source libraries. They are not expected to know machine learning, although the book can also serve as an introduction to some Python libraries for readers who know machine learning. This book does not go into the detail of the mathematics behind the algorithms.
This book primarily targets Python developers who want to learn and build machine learning in their projects, or who want to provide machine learning support to their existing projects, and see them getting implemented effectively.

Graduate Students Share Scholarly Achievements June 3
For Immediate Release
May 23, 2011
WILLIAMSTOWN, MA—The Graduate Program in the History of Art, sponsored jointly by Williams College and the Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute, will present the sixteenth Annual Spring Symposium on Friday, June 3. Members of the M.A. class of 2011 will present papers on topics ranging from photographic self-portraits to Cubist Paris to Red Cross posters from World War I. The day will include consideration of broad themes as well as discussions of single works of art. This day-long free symposium will begin at 9:30 am at the Clark, and the public is invited to attend.
Symposium papers are developed from longer qualifying papers that each student writes during the second-year winter study period, revising and refining work from an earlier seminar. The symposium comprises public, scholarly performances aimed to inform and challenge those interested in the visual arts.
The graduate program is among the United States' foremost master's programs in art history, with both a national and international reputation. Among the premier art education programs in the world, it has produced almost 400 graduates who have taken their place as leaders in the art and academic fields. The Clark and Williams work symbiotically, offering their professional staffs, libraries, and art collections to the students as invaluable resources. Program professors are drawn from both institutions and the program is housed at the Clark. The Clark's extensive research facilities, such as the library, support the original academic scholarship conducted by the students.
The Clark
The Clark is located at 225 South Street in Williamstown, Massachusetts. The galleries are open Tuesday through Sunday, 10 am to 5 pm (daily in July and August). Admission is $15 June 1 through October 31. Admission is free for children 18 and younger, members, and students with valid ID. Admission is free November through May.

Tragedies that break the heart often also come with a desire to help.
Superstorm Sandy. The Newtown shooting.
But what help to offer? Especially, when you're far away.
Stories of families that lost everything in the storm led to thousands of people sending what they thought was needed to the East Coast. But at some point, donation centers became overwhelmed with the amount sent.
Nashua, N.H., firefighters held a clothing drive after Sandy hit. Within two weeks of the storm, the Nashua Telegraph reported the firefighters were overwhelmed with clothing donations—but still needed gift cards and cash.
After the Newtown shooting, the same thing happened.
According to CNN, Newtown First Selectman Patricia Llodra said"Our hearts are warmed by the outpouring of love and support from all corners of our country and world. We are struggling now to manage the overwhelming volume of gifts and ask that sympathy and kindness to our community be expressed by donating such items to needy children and families in other communities in the name of those killed in Sandy Hook Elementary on Dec. 14."
Sky News reported more than 30,000 teddy bears were sent to Sandy Hook, and they had to set up a task force to handle gifts that kept coming. And they expect it will take about three months to sort through the donations.
It's a familiar story.
Tragedy hits, people want to help, and their idea of helping is to send stuff. It feels more real, perhaps, something tangible. More personal than a monetary donation, and less likely to be misused.
But the impulse to send stuff just doesn't help.
One expert told the Associated Press the flood of donations causes a "second disaster after the disaster."
Relief groups need very specific things, along with cash and organization. Instead they get vases and vacuum cleaners, or interference from well-intentioned volunteers who think they're helping but are just hindering efforts.
Another issue, said James McGowan, associate director of partnerships at the National Voluntary Organizations Active in Disaster, is that moving physical goods can be incredibly expensive, with the cost to transport and distribute a donated can of food reaching $15 to $25.
Recognizing this problem, after Hurricane Sandy, some agencies turned to Amazon's charity wish lists for help. Creating a wish list allowed them to set specific needs, the quantity needed, and then allowed far-flung donors to pay money but guarantee it was needed goods arriving on site. The Occupy Sandy Animals wish list included things like pet food and cat litter. Other lists had construction supplies, masks, toys and children's books.
Wendy Harman, director of social strategy for the American Red Cross, told NPR she monitored social media after Hurricane Sandy hit. If she saw someone posting about filling a truck with donations and driving in, she contacted them in advance to make sure the items are needed and directed to a place where they can be used.
A recurring theme is to look to local charities when disaster hits elsewhere, and you want to give something—but for whatever reason, not money. See what agencies in your community need clothing, buy groceries for a local food pantry or volunteer your time.
If you still want to help directly, the Federal Emergency Management Agency has some tips for how to help.
- Affiliate with an existing non-profit organization before coming to the disaster area.
- Do not go until a need is identified and the community impacted requested support.
- Make sure you have a place to stay before arriving.
- Be patient. There will be needs for a long time—possibly years—after the disaster.
- The best way to help is to make a financial contribution to an organization working on the ground. It offers flexibility to meet shifting demands and the greatest needs.
- If you're donating goods or services, confirm what is needed before you send.
- Coordinate collection drives with an organization distributing the items and only collect and send what they ask for.
