Pulitzer Prize winner for Ledbury
Updated 10:05am Monday 3rd February 2014 in News
LEDBURY Poetry Festival, The Feathers Hotel and The University of Worcester have formed a partnership to bring one of the most exciting poets writing today over from the States for this year's poetry festival, which runs from July 4 to 13.
Sharon Olds has been in the headlines recently having won both the Pulitzer Prize in the States and the TS Eliot prize in the UK for her collection Stag's Leap, about the painful break up of her marriage, which has been described by The Guardian as the most remarkable collection of her career. She attracts huge audiences in the States but is less well-known in the UK, something the festival is aiming to remedy.
Festival director Chloe Garner says: "It is a real coup for the Festival that Sharon has accepted our invitation. She is hot property at the moment and has an extremely busy schedule. We couldn't have even approached her if it weren't for the support of The Feathers who have agreed to sponsorship in kind by offering accommodation, and the University of Worcester who are paying her fee," says festival director Chloe Garner, adding: "We do need the support of such organisations if the festival is going to continue to attract the best poets from an international field."

It's going to be a big weekend for college freshman and their families as many colleges and universities in the Triangle have their move-in day this weekend.
"I'm actually more nervous driving here. The closer and closer I got, the more my anxiety built up, but as soon as I stepped foot in my room it was good," says Jacob Lasky, a freshman at N.C. state who is moving in.
Jacob isn't the only one in the family with butterflies.
"I don't want to leave. I'm sad that he's leaving but very excited," says Michelle Lasky, Jacob's mother.
It's that mix of excitement and nervousness all over the Triangle.

File Servers Fixedposted by Dark0ne Site NewsMore than likely I won't be making any major edits to the site today. After working 8 days 9am - 9pm I'm taking today off, and catching up with some much needed gaming!
There are a few tweaks that need addressing, however. First off I've fixed an issue with the file servers not downloading the new files uploaded in the last 24 hours. A reminder to people that being the first downloader of a new file means you have to first wait for the file server to receive the file before you can download it. So if you see a white page for a while, don't worry, the file server is just downloading the file.
Happy downloading.

Graham Greene once described a "subterranean world, where the hopes and dreams of the mass of the people reside, unconnected with the rarefied world above, until those above take one step too far". There is a stirring in this people's world as those above take many steps too far.
In the United States, according to the Institute for Policy Studies, there were at least 400 major demonstrations against an attack on Iraq up to mid-October. "There is a rising tide of activism," reported the Washington Post, "a burgeoning national anti-war movement that is gaining momentum by the day . . . They talk of protesting by people who have never protested before."
The acknowledgement was unusual. One measure of the strength of popular anti-establishment movements is their suppression as news. Millions of people took to the streets in Italy last month, yet the main political news in Britain the next day was the latest Machiavellian utterances of Gordon Brown. On 28 September, the historic demonstration of 400,000 people in London was considered worthy only of trivialisation by the Observer. Nowhere in the begrudging reporting of that extraordinary day was there recognition of a new, diverse and growing constituency of angry people no longer interested in the small circuses that fill tombstones of column inches, such as the diddum tears of Estelle Morris.
My guess is that a great many people would agree, for very different reasons, with Peter Mandelson's prediction that "the era of representative democracy is coming to an end". That has long been demonstrably true in the United States. It is a truth that has eluded many journalists and broadcasters, understandably, as the main function of so much political reporting is to run a cigarette paper between the parties and to channel spin.
The public understands this, which is why the audience for political news on television has slumped. Blaming the public for its "lack of interest in politics" is the self-deluding excuse of media executives who claim an insight into the popular mood, yet are contemptuous of it. In truth, the public has never been more interested in real politics, which it does not
associate with the deceptions and gossip of an elective oligarchy.
Certainly, Tony Blair's obsession with Iraq has provided the fastest-emerging public arena. But it runs deeper than that. Public anger at the demise of true democracy has long been misjudged by the media as apathy, in the same way that the public's "compassion fatigue" was invented to cover the failure of broadcasters to report the lives and struggles of the majority of humanity. That Blair is prepared to tear up the United Nations' Charter and attack a country that offers Britain no threat, transparently so that America and Britain can get their hands on Iraqi oil, is perceived as an offence to basic decency and to democracy itself.
People understand, I believe, that a government which has no popular mandate for major policies covering war, health, education, privatisation and transport is not democratic. A prime minister who is prepared to use the royal prerogative, "the divine right of kings", to attack another country illegally against the wishes of the majority of his people, is clearly not a democratic leader.
The last British general election was misrepresented as a "landslide" when, in reality, it was the lowest vote since universal suffrage began. People were not indifferent. They were angry or dismissive, and they went on strike on election day. Under Blair, a process spanning two decades, from the creation of the Social Democratic Party in 1981 and Labour's "policy review" six years later which embraced Thatcherism, has reached its conclusion. The two main Westminster parties have effectively converged. Britain is now a single-ideology state with two principal competing factions. Both agree on all major domestic and foreign policy.
For the first few years of Blair, those who clung to Labour struggled with the nonsense of a "modernising third way" whose promoters, such as Anthony Giddens, disingenuously persisted in calling it social democracy. Mavericks elsewhere in the political spectrum were on to Blair. "There is nothing anomalous about Blair's cultivating Formula One racing millionaires, gangster-style newspaper proprietors and spiv businessmen," wrote A N Wilson. " . . . he puts the Murdochs into positions of absolute power and brings into being a sub-American world, in which everything is wrecked – the past, the natural world, our sense of decency."
One shame-faced MP recalls, "Remember the media triumph of single-mother benefit cuts? On the night that Blair's babes waltz through the lobbies taking £7.50 out of the purses of single mothers, we have Blair drinking champagne with that arsehole Chris Evans in Downing Street! How do you think that plays back in the constituencies?"
Three weeks ago, four eminent geographers explained to the Policy Studies Association how the Blair government lied – manipulating and omitting statistics on just about everything: education, health, the economy. Does anyone believe Blair over Iraq? Lying about its war aims has been a feature of the government, whose adventures have been dressed up as "humanitarian intervention" by Blair's courtiers, hoping to preserve the taboo that makes the link with British imperialism. Not only are there the oil interests, but Britain is second only to the United States as an owner of overseas investments. This is a government of death. Britain under Blair exports chemical weapons to 26 countries – so much for the hysteria about Saddam Hussein.
The two most important roles played by the Blair government are preventing any concerted opposition in the European Union to Bush's war plans and lending respectability to the Americans' ruthlessness. As the figleaf in an American "coalition", the government has spent a billion pounds bombing Iraq; a criminal act by any reading of the relevant conventions. "To be corrupted by totalitarianism," warned George Orwell, "one does not have to live in a totalitarian country." There is a growing understanding of this among British people. Every day now there are packed political meetings somewhere in Britain: from the thousand or more at one recent event in Birmingham, to an overflowing hall in Salcombe, Devon. Where I live, in south London, there is something major every evening. The energy and organisation are far advanced on the 1960s, rather like the political awareness of people themselves, especially the young.
For all the achievements of the movement against the Vietnam war, it did not get under way until four years after the Americans had invaded. Today, under countless banners, from the anti-globalisation movement to the Stop the War campaign, the new movement, drawing millions all over the world, may well be the greatest. We need it urgently.

Statements from the Wisconsin: 2012 Governor Recall's race
"70 percent of the people who voted" on June 5, 2012, "just didn't feel comfortable with the recall of the governor," weakening any idea that Wisconsin is "fully behind this Walker agenda."
"The Koch brothers alone gave twice as much money to Scott Walker as the total amount of money raised by Tom Barrett."
"Overwhelming Democrat and Republican votes" in 2011 for legislation in two special sessions on jobs demonstrated the bipartisan nature of the Wisconsin Legislature.
"Minnesota has passed and Indiana has passed" right to work laws making union membership and dues optional
"Scott Walker has a plan to privatize state lands" and "wants to sell our deer to the highest bidder."
Says Gov. Scott Walker made "draconian cuts" to public safety budgets that put police officers at "greater risk of harm."
The federal government "reviewed and verified" his administration's numbers showing Wisconsin added 23,608 jobs in 2011.
Figures cited by Gov. Scott Walker "are not commonly used" to measure job creation.
Says Tom Barrett plans "to spend $100 million on a trolley that goes barely two miles on the east side of Milwaukee."
"We've seen property taxes go down for the first time in 12 years on a median valued home."
"No one on my staff has ever been charged with a crime."
Because of voter fraud, Republican candidates "need to do a point or two better" to win statewide elections in Wisconsin.
Says Gov. Scott Walker "took away $1.6 billion from schools and handed it off as over $2 billion in tax breaks to the rich."
To help balance the 2011-13 budget, Gov. Scott Walker used "a credit card" approach that "pushed over $500 million in debt onto our children and our grandchildren" costing state taxpayers "more than $150 million in interest."
Thanks to our policies, "for the first time in state history, we have put millions of dollars into our rainy day fund in consecutive years."
Access for 12,000 women to use Planned Parenthood -- "not for the right to choose," but for "basic health care" -- was "taken away" by Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker and Lt. Gov. Rebecca Kleefisch.
Says Tom Barrett "voted to ban 15 different kinds of guns, even a lot of common deer rifles."
"While Act 10 allowed (Milwaukee County) to save some money, it was millions short of what we needed to fill the hole left by the $28 million cut in state aid."
Says new figures he released showing Wisconsin job gains for 2011 are "the final job numbers."
Says Gov. Scott Walker is "cooking the books" by releasing numbers "he just dreamed up" that show Wisconsin gained jobs in 2011.

The Los Angeles Lakers miraculously rallied back against the Charlotte Bobcats tonight, prevailing 100-93 in the fifth game of their seven-game road trip. With 5:26 in the third, LA went down by 20 points on two Kemba Walker free throws. The team looked fried, getting microscopic production from their three remaining All-Stars in Steve Nash, Kobe Bryant and Dwight Howard and allowing the worst team in the league to look like its best. Reminiscent of their road games in Cleveland, Phoenix and Sacramento against the other NBA bottom feeders, the Lakers played down to their competition and were simply outhustled by a young team with something to prove against their star-studded opponents. The defensive effort was laughably pathetic, with Kobe mysteriously choosing to be neither a scorer or facilitator, failing to hit either 5 points or 5 assists with nearly half of the 3rd quarter gone. As awful as the Lakers looked last night against the Celtics, it seemed as if this blowout loss could very well be the the most disappointing loss in a season with twenty of them.
That all changed with an Earl Clark three-point play, as the forward continued to stave off a once-inevitable trip to Maccabi Tel Aviv for the 2014 season by providing the hobbled Lakers with steady production. The former Lousville Cardinal chipped in another double-double, with 17 points and 10 hard-earned boards, never stopping the hustle while the rest of the team was sapped for energy and motivation.
From there, Los Angeles went on an unreal 49-22 run, destroying the Bobcats in a way that you'd expect on paper, but wouldn't believe from experience. Bryant finished with 20 points, 7 rebounds and 8 assists, while Nash contributed with 17 points of his own, both helping to control the pace of the game, set up open shooters and put pressure on Charlotte's post defense. After a lackluster first half, Dwight seemed to feed off the energy that Clark, Kobe and Nash put in offensively, becoming reminiscent of the three-time Defensive Player of the Year we've heard so much about. Howard's activity was one of the primary reasons behind a 15 point 4th quarter from the Bobcats, whose guards eviscerated the Lakers for most of the game, with LA making Ramon Sessions, Gerald Henderson and Kemba Walker look like the second coming of Isiah and Dumars. As if tapped on the head by a wizard, LA suddenly started to defend the pick and roll, staying on shooters and defending passing lanes.
A little known fact around the NBA, but hauntingly clear to Lakers fans, the Show has had an extremely difficult time with the Cats in their short existence, only tonight bumping their lifetime record to 9-8 against the 2004 expansion franchise. LA hadn't won in Time Warner Cable Arena since 2008, which was the fifth game of Pau Gasol's fantastic Lakers career. Just to illustrate how long ago that was, Vladimir Radmanovic was a starter, Luke Walton played over 21 minutes, Sasha Vujacic and Jordan Farmar were in American basketball leagues and Jeff McInnis locked in a staggering 35 minutes for the Cats.
This game was a complete picture of who the Lakers are, have been and can be. Are they a team with an alarming lack of energy and post defense that can go down by 20 to the worst team in the league? Are they a team that can effortlessly rally back from a deep deficit in the third quarter on the drop of a dime? Are they a team that can stop one of the fastest squads in the league when so they feel the desire? Tonight's win was an inspiring win, a tantalizing vision of potential and a crushing portrait of the present. Just another day in the weirdest season in Lakers history.

A group of avid LSU fans were shocked to find the school photoshopped over tiny crosses painted on their chests.
You can view the before and after picture by clicking here!
CampusReform.org reports that students, who are known as The Painted Posse, are Christians who paint their bodies with their school's colors and small crosses for each home game. The group was pictured in a photo that was included in an email about LSU's game vs. South Carolina on October 13, but the crosses they had painted above their hearts had been edited out of the photo.
The university originally told CampusReform.org that they stood by their decision to edit the photo, saying the school altered the image to avoid offending other students who receive the weekly newsletter. But CampusReform.org reports the university issued a formal apology on Monday.
So we want to know, what do you think? Post your responses on our FOX 5 AtlantaFacebook page, tweet us @GoodDayAtlanta, or email us at firstname.lastname@example.com! We'll read some of your responses during the 9 am hour of Good Day Atlanta.

vacation rental description
Not just a home rental, but a Private Island Retreat in the Ozello Keys. Experience the Real Florida here on the Nature Coast; only minutes from Crystal River and Homosassa.
Land bridge access with electronic security gate gives you the privacy and convenience of driving to/from your own private island with amenities you won't get from any other home rental! No traffic noise to hinder the awesome wildlife and beautiful serenity here.
Swim or relax in one of the 2 spas or the 45' solar-heated pool with 2 32' waterfalls and wet bar. As you relax in one of the stargazing chairs by the bonfire ring (wood included with your stay), watch one of Mother Nature's night shows, unhampered by city lights.
All linens, towels and dishes are furnished in both units, each having a full kitchen with dishwasher, microwave, stove and all cooking utensils, including glasses, dishes, pots and pans.
Rent both upper and lower homes (2 bedroom 1.5 bath each) and only your group will be in Paradise*.
When you rent here, you rent an island retreat with many amenities. Be sure you know what is included with your rental, as we have become aware of others making it appear they have enough kayaks for your group; most have 1 or 2 at best, whereas we provide 14. Whether it's paddling with dolphins or exploring some of the 300 islands with one of the 14 kayaks/2 canoes that come at no extra charge, this alone could save a family of 6 more than $500 a day!
Rent a private island, not just a home-in-a-row on a canal. 360 degrees of open water views with very few boats going by!
We also can set you up to snorkel with the manatee or have a private all day tour of Crystal River, including snorkeling and fishing on your own private pontoon boat with your own licensed guide.
Make this the vacation of a lifetime for just a few dollars more.
*Caretakers on property to take care of any needs you may have.

Paul, we are experiencing this as well - we're running 7.6.8 currently, but we are running SQL Server 2012. I am going to work in FireFox today and see if I run into it again.
But like you said, at times when we try launch a modal (editing a widget config, editing a configurable plugin) we get the spinner that does not go away. At times it takes us up to 10x of closing the modal and re-opening it.
In reply to Luke D:
At least I'm not alone on this one :-)
These are issues introduced in the latest version of Chrome - code.google.com/.../detail - for which the version of SQL server should have no impact.
Internally we have this logged as bug #36900. At this time as this is a browser bug the only answer is to use a browser other than Chrome, although we are looking into workarounds we can do on our end to avoid this issue.
In reply to Paul Deehan:
Paul DeehanAt least I'm not alone on this one :-)
In reply to Phil Chouinard:
Yep, definitely an issue for us under TC 7.6.7. Our users started reporting problems when Chrome 34 was released in early April. We've been encouraging people to use Firefox or even IE.
In reply to Robert Miller:
Hi Everyone - this is fixed in 8.0.1 and will also be in the May hot fix releases for versions 6.1-7.6.

In the past years, the UNH library acquisition budget increases have not kept up with inflation. In order to cover inflationary increases and balance the budget for FY 13, we need to make cuts to our journal subscriptions.
During the summer we worked with academic departments to identify titles for cancellation. The selections were made by looking at cost and usage data with a goal of keeping as much valued content available as possible and minimizing negative impact on our users, while still achieving our budget reduction targets.
See the list of possible cancellations, FAQs, and more.
Send feedback to firstname.lastname@example.com or use her contact form if you have comments, questions, or concerns. We will seriously consider all feedback received and use it to help make the best decisions possible. The deadline for feedback is September 7.
August 23, 2012
We present two new databases:
American Men and Women of Science, 22nd ed. (2005), is a premier biographical reference on North American scientists.
Gale Literature Resource Center is built on three author databases: Contemporary Authors Online, offering biographical coverage of more than 130,000 writers; Contemporary Literary Criticism Select, featuring entries on all authors appearing in CLC since vol. 95 of the print series and complete profiles of 266 most studied authors from editions prior to vol. 95; and Dictionary of Literary Biography Online, containing more than 13,000 biocritical essays on authors and their works written by academic scholars.
As always, if these databases are useful for your research, please leave a comment here or contact our electronic resources librarian.
August 20, 2012
Using library resources from home just got easier!
Starting Wednesday, August 22, the UNH Library will use the University's LDAP directory for remote access to its electronic resources. This means you will no longer need to log in to Blackboard to access our electronic resources from off-campus.
Instead, simply navigate to the resource you want on the Library web site. You will then be asked for your UNH IT ID username and password. (This is the same username and password as Blackboard.) Once verified, you will be forwarded on to your resource directly.
All of which means fewer clicks and more efficient research from home, coffee shop, or wherever you are.
If you do log in via Blackboard, please be aware that you will still need to enter your UNH IT ID username and password a second time.
If you have questions or comments about this change, please contact our Systems Librarian, Val Harper at 862-0114 or use her contact form.
August 17, 2012
The UNH Alumni Association has announced that alumni now have access to the online research database EBSCOhost. For more, see the Alumni Association site.
Alums will need to register at the UNH Alumni web site. Verification typically takes a day. The database is also accessed from the Alumni web site.
UNH alumni are also entitled to a UNH library borrowing card. Just bring a photo ID and something with your current address, like a license or bill, to the Circulation Desk in Dimond Library or the UNH Manchester Library.

The Library has a new trial for Scopus which runs for the month of August. We are considering Scopus as a possible replacement for Web of Science.
We will also be hosting a tutorial/Q&A session with Elsevier halfway through the trial. If you would like to attend this session or have questions or comments, please contact our electronic resources librarian.
Update: The demonstration of Scopus and Q&A session will be held Friday, August 17th at 1pm in Dimond Library Room 343.

Government Information in the UNH Library presents our latest featured resource from the National Park Service on the Cape Cod National Seashore. This resource features sections on history, culture, photo galleries, and an area for teachers.
The site includes information on their residency programs for artists, the archaeology of Cape Cod, lesson plans, a reading list, and information about overnight educational group opportunities.
Henry David Thoreau knew Cape Cod well, once writing that "A man may stand there and put all America behind him." Today, part of the Cape has been designated Cape Cod National Seashore. Appropriately enough, the legislation to create this remarkable site was signed into law by President John F. Kennedy, who also knew and loved the area.

The Library of Congress is beginning its "Celebration of the Book" with an exhibition, "Books That Shaped America". The exhibition is part of a larger series of events that explore the important and varied ways that books influence our lives.
The Library of Congress has selected 88 books that shaped America, all by American authors. The first was published in 1751, and the most recent in 2002. Each author is represented only once, with one exception: Benjamin Franklin, who landed three books. The list includes poetry, novels, nonfiction, plays, a polemic, books of science and grammar, cookbooks, and children's books.
If you're looking for summer reading, here's the list.

Depardieu held for drink-driving
8:43pm Thursday 29th November 2012 in National Entertainment News © Press Association 2014
Gerard Depardieu has been detained by police for allegedly driving drunk on his motorcycle.
Police said the 63-year-old actor was taken in on Thursday afternoon by Paris police after falling off his motorcycle.
The burly actor, who has appeared in more than 150 films, allegedly failed a sobriety test and was taken to a police station. Police then escorted him home, but he will have to appear in court.
It was the latest of several encounters with the law for Gerard.
He grabbed headlines when he urinated in the aisle of a plane before take-off on a Paris to Dublin flight. He was removed from the aircraft.
Gerard was nominated for an Academy Award for his role in 1990 film Cyrano De Bergerac.

Lake Erie College students present the �New Play Festival�
Students at Lake Erie College have written four short plays as part of the "New Play Festival" that will take place on Friday and Saturday, March 19 and 20 at 7:30 p.m. in the C.K. Rickel Theatre in the Fine Arts Building. A matinee show will be on Sunday, March 21 at 2 p.m. The plays will be performed by members of the College's TH 316 Play Writing class and staged by students of the TH 308 Directing class.
The idea of the festival came from Lake Erie's own assistant professor of drama, Dr. Jerry Jaffe, as he wanted the work done by his students last fall to be shared with the College and community. "It is important for young writers to see their work on stage," Jaffe said. "It is all a part of developing their theatrical imagination."
The plays are "Broken," by Joseph Fath; "We'll Miss You, Michael Smith," by Nic Grimsic; "Factory," by Jonathan Sweet; and "A Simple Lesson," by Danielle Pitrone. "Broken" is an ironic comedy-drama about a failing marriage as symbolized by the couple's house falling apart around them. "We'll Miss You, Michael Smith" is a very silly farce about a funeral with the wrong body on display and the lengths the two men running the funeral will go in order to cover up their error. "Factory" is a social drama about two men working at a factory and the crime they are considering to help change their lives. Finally, "A Simple Lesson" is about a time-obsessed traveler and the troubles he has with people in a train station.
In addition to the student writers, the directors include current students, alumni and community volunteers.
Students of the College's lighting design class are working with the Cleveland-based lighting expert, Ben Needham of Digital Squirrel Studios, on creating original lighting designs for these plays. Needham is currently teaching a stagecraft class at the College.
Tickets for the event are free and no reservations are necessary. For more information, call the Lake Erie College Fine Arts box office at 440.375.7455.
Lake Erie College, located in Painesville, Ohio, currently serves more than 1,200 students. Founded in 1856, Lake Erie is an independent, liberal arts institution that challenges its students to "get in and stand out" in academics, athletics and student activities. The College offers 33 undergraduate majors and the option to design an individualized major to fit career and academic goals. Lake Erie's innovative learning experiences focus on helping students to meet career and life challenges, preparing for a world that is increasingly interdependent.

Book our hotels in Duluth, Georgia, when staying in the Atlanta area. Take the cable car up Stone Mountain, where the views stretch to the Atlanta skyline. Head into the big city to visit white beluga whales in the aquarium and dinosaur skeletons at the Fernbank Museum of Natural History.
Our Duluth hotels are near Stone Mountain Park, with its massive granite outcropping. Hop in a cable car and zip to the top of Stone Mountain for striking vistas of the Atlanta skyscrapers and the Appalachian Mountains in the distance. The park's many activities keep families busy climbing through a treetop adventure course and setting out on the lake in paddle boats. Local hikers, joggers and cyclists enjoy the trails that line the riverfront at Cochran Shoals, in the nearby Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area. It's an easy drive to Atlanta from our hotels in Duluth. Pick up an Atlanta CityPASS from one of eight city museums for deep discounts to major attractions including World of Coca-Cola, Georgia Aquarium and Fernbank Museum of Natural History.
Peachtree Industrial Boulevard off Buford Highway, a short drive from our Duluth hotels, offers a global array of eateries from Greek to Caribbean and Japanese. Throughout Duluth, you'll find barbecue shacks serving up tender pork ribs slathered in tangy sauces. Bargain hunters head to the outlets at Discover Mills, while window shoppers delight in downtown Duluth's specialty stores. Check the schedule at the Arena at Gwinnett Center for major concerts and sporting events. Next door, the smaller Performing Arts Center stage showcases plays and dance performances.
Reserve a room at our Holiday Inn® hotels in Duluth in summer for the Flicks on the Bricks film festival and concerts on the Town Green. Visit during the three-month long Winter Carnival for ice skating and carriage rides.

Toronto was a productive time! (and yes, this is part six of the 2012 North American tour recap)
Release pixie Matt Ravsitar Armstead posted an episode of TFTTF about dealing with harsh sunlight. That episode was pre-recorded before the trip. I pre-recorded a few but didn't use as many as I thought I would. Oddly enough, being far away from home can sometimes turn into a bit of a productivity boost.
I discussed the goings-on at Efke and Kodak on TFTTF with Monika, as the news broke that yet another film manufacturer will leave the playing field.
Explored an abandoned hotel ballroom somewhere in Toronto with Monika and Sean.
At the end of the week we held another awesome workshop, this time digital and grouped around urban photography. A perfect way to wrap up two great weeks in a great city!

Olivia Mesner and Kaitlin Holm each registered 11 kills to lead the Eagles (19-7, 14-0 A-Sun) who finished with a .330 hitting percentage (41-12-88). Gigi Meyer tallied 19 assists and seven assists to help the Eagles.
"FGCU showed why they are the top team in the league," JU head coach Michelle Collier said. "We had trouble getting into a solid rhythm against them tonight. We are still playing very well and have a tough challenge ahead of us Saturday."
The Dolphins (7-12, 5-10) were held to a .125 hitting percentage (33-21-96) to have their winning streak snapped at three. Junior Kylie Jacob led the offense with seven kills, while sophomore Taylor Nyquist finished with six. Junior Kendall Courtney recorded 31 assists.
In the first set, the Eagles opened with a 7-2 lead on a Holm kill. Three straight Nyquist kills brought the JU deficit to 8-6. The Eagles used four JU errors to extend the lead to 13-7. After a JU timeout, FGCU took a 21-13 lead following an 8-6 stretch. Jacob countered with a kill, but the Eagles scored four of the next seven points to take the set.
In the second set, consecutive service aces by freshman Gabriela Roman gave JU an 8-1 advantage. FGCU used a 9-6 run, capped on a Holm kill, to cut the deficit to 14-10 and force a JU timeout. FGCU kept on the attack by using three more Holm kills to gain an 18-16 advantage. Senior Alison Loeppky made it a 19-18 JU deficit with a kill before the Eagles closed the set on a 6-2 run for the 2-0 lead.
In the third set, two Mesner kills gave the Eagles an early 10-5 lead. The Eagles extended the lead to 17-9 from a Holm kill. FGCU secured the final points for the set on two JU errors to earn the win.
The Dolphins end their current road trip Saturday with a short trip to cross-town rival North Florida. First serve for this SunTrust River City Rumble installment is at 5 p.m.

Why are we there?
- Endemic/epidemic disease
- Health care exclusion
Our work
This is an extract MSF's 2012 International Activity Report:
An ambulance referral system and access to 24-hour emergency obstetric care has drastically reduced maternal deaths in Bo district, Sierra Leone.
A policy of free health care for children under five and pregnant and breastfeeding women was introduced in 2010, but real improvements in access for these groups have not yet been achieved.
Many health facilities are understaffed, underequipped and lack medical expertise, and high numbers of preventable maternal and child deaths in the country are a result of a lack of access to health care.
Gondama referral center
In Bo, MSF runs a 220-bed obstetric and pediatric hospital, the Gondama referral center.
Five ambulances transport pregnant women and children from nine community health centers. Another ambulance refers patients with complications from Gondama to the capital, Freetown.
Yet another is a specialized ambulance that brings patients to the Lassa fever unit at Kenema hospital. Lassa fever is a viral hemorrhagic fever that affects several organs in the body.
A study published by MSF in November showed that the rate of maternal deaths in Bo district is now 61 per cent lower than in the rest of the country.
Cholera emergency
Between July and September, MSF responded to a cholera outbreak that was concentrated in Freetown, and provided treatment for 5,000 patients across four treatment centers.
MSF also supported the Ministry of Health to treat 427 patients at Bo government hospital.
At the end of 2012, MSF had 556 staff in Sierra Leone. MSF has worked in the country since 1986.
Patient story
Jenneba, 26 years old
"This is my third pregnancy. I have had two miscarriages before. Last night I felt pain, so an ambulance picked me up from the health center and took me to Gondama. The nurse in the ambulance held my hand and talked to me nicely during the ride.
The nurses at the hospital examined me and said that I wasn't in labor yet. I am still in pain and very worried about what is happening. If I lose this baby, I am worried that my husband will leave me."
Jenneba's son was born by caesarean section 10 days later.

Cococay, Bahamas: This is the private island that the cruise line owns. Basically, it's a day at the beach with a barbeque. If it wasn't for my husband who had never been there, I wouldn't have got off the ship. It was really hot and humid and you have to get on a tender to get there. There is nothing special about the private island unless you like water sports. I would much rather have spent my time at the adult pool in a comfortable lounge chair.
St. Thomas: As I have been to St. Thomas numerous times and my husband had not, we decided not to go on an excursion booked through the cruise line, as they can be costly. Instead, we went on a bus tour ($25/ea) that took us to many destinations all over the island and up to the top of the mountain to see the view of Magan's Bay. It was 2 hours and well worth the money. As always on St. Thomas, the shopping was great. You can deal a little with them on prices, but most prices, at least on jewelry, are fixed. All in all, a great day!
St. Maarten: Since I had done my shopping on St. Thomas, we decided to spend the day at the beach on St. Maarten. We took the ferry ($6 p/p r/t)to the beach and were greeted by several natives selling various beach day packages that included lounge chairs with an umbrella, a bucket of drinks and restroom facilities. They range anywhere from $10 to $20/day. We chose David for $15 and he did not disappoint. Before we left, we had lunch and drinks at The Blue Bitch Bar & Grill. Don't miss this place...they make a mean blue margarita and the food is excellent!!
Food: Since we had Concierge service with our Grand Suite, we had the option to order the full menu in our room, so as a result, we only visited the dining room once. We do not like the 2 hour dinners in the dining room...too much sitting and waiting to be served. Also, our waiter was not very friendly (this was the first and only time we've had an unfriendly waiter). The food on this ship was better than it had been on any other ship in the past. It was really excellent. I ordered a steak from Chops off the room service menu one night and it was excellent! We went to Portofino one night and as usual, it was excellent! I highly recommend everything at Portofino...everything is top-notch. And as always, the Windjammer is my husband's favorite for breakfast and lunch. The salad bar is very good, and there is always a variety of different foods for all different tastes. Also, Sorrento's for pizza is a great late-night snack.
Entertainment: The late-night comedian was very funny on the second to last night (we had seen him on another cruise). He is a great impersonator. As for the shows, they are what you would expect on a cruise ship, just average. However, the cruise staff is very entertaining during pool hours, with the likes of the Sexiest Man contest. They do a great job. Also, we really enjoyed the Reggae Band that played at the main pool. Also, don't miss the "Love and Marriage" game show...it is always hysterically funny!
In spite of all the trouble we had with the pre-cruise package, this was truly the best cruise ever! And yes, we will be back next year to sail again on the beautiful Freedom of the Seas.

On a related crew note, I have no idea how this stuff is handled outside Ireland, but for Sandycove the way it works is the swimmer pays the flight and accommodation costs for all the crew.
I cannot recommend crewing highly enough. As swimmers it's part of the paying-it-back ethos, plus it is a fantastic learning experience, and great to be part of someone else's Channel dream.

Want to avoid advertising?
meghuntwilson, EYB has indexed a few issues of La Cucina Italiana -- in the EYB Library/Magazines, click on the Quick Searches filter and select "La Cucina Italiana" from the list of magazines -- but the magazine has ceased publication as of the January 2014 issue. If you have backissues and would like to index some yourself, please send us the details on your issues and we'll add them to the Library so you can request to index them.
Where did you hear about La Cucina Italiana ceasing publication?
I can't say where Deborah heard it, but I actually just picked up the newest issue from the newstand and it is stated in the letter from the editor that it is the last issue. There was not much in the way of explanation, it just said that the news was unexpected.
Jane told me about it just before Christmas; not sure where she found out but probably in the magazine/publishing press. An item was posted in Women's Wear Daily's site on 12/20/13 which stated that the US edition of the magazine was ceasing, but the European-published editions will continue.
I would like to see Chickpea magazine indexed. I realize it probably has low readership, though, so I might be willing to index a few issues myself... it's a quarterly magazine with not too many recipes.
lorie - if you want to index it, just email us at info@eatyourbooks with the issue dates you want to do. If it turns out that a lot of EYB members add it to their Bookshelf, then we will take over the indexing.
Lincolnshire Life: this publication has had some very good recipes.
Thank you
Just joined this site...amazing! Love that so much of what I own is already here.
As a Canadian, I'd like to echo some of the earlier requests for indexing the key magazines Canadians look to for recipes: Canadian Living, Chatelaine, and Food and Drink (put out by the Ontario Liquor Control Board, but pretty amazing). All have recipe indexing on their websites, but EYB is so much easier to search. To gauge the popularity among Canadians, take a look at the cookbooks (in the EYB library) that Canadian Living (and author Baird), and Chatelaine put out. Many of us buy the magazines as well as the books. So, although I appreciate having so many of my "international" favourites indexed, it would be great to see the best of the Canadian magazines indexed (and I think it would bring more Canadians to your website).
Curious...do you have a Canadian indexer?
CindyinOttawa, we've been trying to acquire a Canadian indexer for a while and hope to have someone on board soon. If you (or any other Canadian members) are interested in exploring the possibility of professional indexing for EYB, please get in touch with me at email@example.com and I'll be glad to provide some more information.
I'd love to see the new Epicurious Magazine added.
I also just got a magazine I've never seen before called "Foodies of New England"... I have the Winter 2014 issue... not sure what other ones are out there or if it's new... This one is all about Artisan Breads.
Would love to see the new(ish) taste.com.au magazine added please!
I'd like to see Sainsbury's Magazine added please.

APA faces multi-county lawsuit over new regulations
Jan 23, 2009 — Controversial regulations adopted by the Adirondack Park Agency late last year will have their day in court. Nine Adirondack counties as well as private property groups are challenging new rules that change the way the park agency regulates shoreline development and defines hunting and fishing cabins. Jacob Resneck reports.
