That's probably "Orifice Vapor"
@ July 30, 2014 3:16 PM in One or two pipe steam?unless there's something inside those radiator return ells. Post some pics of some rads so we can have a look.
@ July 29, 2014 11:21 PM in Downsizing used 4-sec Megastem to 3-sectionthe MegaSteam 289 and 396 use the same block, with a different burner set-up.
Assuming those numbers are accurate
@ July 29, 2014 3:50 PM in I can not get my head around the over sizing of boilerseven the smallest Buderus would be oversized. It has a Net rating of 74,000 BTU per hour:
I found two better choices. These are 3-pass boilers like the Buderus:
Burnham MPO-IQ84, with a Net rating of 69,000 BTUH:
Slant/Fin Eutectic EC-13P, also with a 69,000 BTUH net rating:
You can't go wrong with either unit. Note that you don't need extra boiler capacity to operate the indirect water heater tank.
Oh, and don't even think about using the Beckett burner from the old RS-111 boiler in a new boiler. The Beckett AF burner that is specified for the RS-111 is not capable of moving air thru a 3-pass boiler. If the new boiler comes with a Beckett, it will be an AFG or NX which is matched to the new boiler. Don't try to save a few bucks this way- it will cause no end of trouble.
At least in the Columbia versions
@ July 28, 2014 11:45 PM in Another Steam Boiler Sizing Concernthey are available with Carlin EZ-Gas burners. We get them that way from the local Columbia supply house. The Columbia we installed in that thread I linked to arrived on the delivery truck with the gas burner. Not sure what else I can say to further underline the point.
Looks like some of these web sites need to be updated.
I'm not sure why these boilers have been re-rated so much. Perhaps they became too expensive per square foot of radiation capacity for some people if you had to buy them with one more section. But we're all about efficiency so we always use the lower capacity for a given size boiler.
The Columbia brochure showing the most efficient ratings is here:
Currently, to get this configuration, we have to order the current designation (CSFE-4125S in your case) and then reset it to the lower firing rate (1 GPH or 140,000 BTU per hour in your case). The difference in stack temperature is quite noticeable.
You might also look at
@ July 28, 2014 1:16 AM in Another Steam Boiler Sizing Concerna Utica SFE-4xxx boiler. This one has been offered in various firing rates from 1 GPH/140,000 BTUH input, to 1.5 GPH/210,000 BTUH input. Columbia sells the same boiler as the CSFE-4xxx. The current offering is at 1.25 GPH/175,000 BTUH input, which has a minimal AFUE rating- 82%. But when it was offered at 1 GPH, its AFUE was 85%, and this is how we still sell them.
At 1 GPH, this boiler was rated 377 square feet EDR. That would be a much closer match for your system.
Here's one of our Columbia installs along with a couple Intrepids. All have Carlin EZ-Gas burners. Note that the Columbia that got replaced with an Intrepid was being run at its maximum firing rate, which worked the cast-iron heat transfer surface much harder. That and a leaky return that we replaced some years ago is what killed it.
@ July 27, 2014 8:50 PM in HVAC options for 400 square foot additionno heat pump or forced-air unit can ever equal the comfort or efficiency of hot-water or steam. That's reason enough for most of us.
@ July 27, 2014 8:40 PM in Another Steam Boiler Sizing ConcernThat electricity cost sounds right. I haven't put a meter on an atmospheric gas train, but it would cost something to run that too. What you'd end up paying is the difference between the two.
As far as down-firing, as long as you don't get the stack temperature too low or otherwise cause poor combustion, you should be OK. Whoever does the work MUST test with a digital combustion analyzer to be sure of this.
On the Carlin EZ-Gas
@ July 27, 2014 4:39 PM in Another Steam Boiler Sizing Concernthey use a 1/12 HP PSC motor, so it doesn't take much electricity to run. You can get away with the smaller motor because it isn't driving an oil pump, just the fan. I believe the Midco EC series and the Riello gas burners also use PSC motors. Not sure about Wayne.
Note that on the EZ-Gas, according to the factory rep a standard Carlin 1/7 HP PSC oil burner motor can be used to replace the original one. This would, of course, use a bit more electricity.
That P-SGO-3
@ July 27, 2014 4:00 PM in Burner Conversion Question - Weil-McLain P-SG0-3does have a small firing zone, but it should run well with a Carlin EZ-Gas burner having a 9-slot diffuser plate. The 9-slot diffuser produces a compact flame much like a flame-retention oil burner does, and should fit that firing zone quite well. We use the same combination on 3- or 4-section Slant/Fin Intrepid and Liberty boilers, which also have short firing zones.
The 9-slot diffuser came out some time after the burner was introduced with its original A and B diffusers, so it may not appear in earlier setup guides. The A and B diffusers tend to create longer flames, which work well in some boilers but not in others.
Now that's some nice work

Where in PA are you located?
I think Clammy's right
@ July 22, 2014 11:23 AM in Just wondering about oil tanksthe oblong shape appears to have been chosen so you could get it thru basement doors, and the length and height so you could get it around corners. The resulting capacity worked out to 275 gallons or, if you could get away with a longer tank (72 rather than 60 inches) 330.
The gas mains in this area
@ July 20, 2014 4:11 PM in Lovely Lane Methodist Church- A Steam Heating Museumare still the old low-pressure variety, and probably date back at least to when the first part of the church was built. The original and second parts of the church did have gas lighting. No one ever expected using anything but coal for heating.
The city doesn't own the gas mains- BGE does, and they have done little if any upgrading since the deregulation scam went through. It would probably take a couple billions to replace all the old cast-iron low-pressure piping in Baltimore, which would take away from the CEOs', CFOs' and other bigwigs' paychecks and stock options.
You'd spend a lot less money

Boiler Room
@ July 19, 2014 8:27 PM in Lovely Lane Methodist Church- A Steam Heating Museumshowing the pair of Smith 19HE-6 boilers with PowerFlame oil burners. There is not enough gas in the street to run these on gas- they're stuck with oil for the foreseeable future.
So far, we've lowered the pump controllers (they were mounted too high, a common problem) fixed some screwed up pump relays, hooked up the zone valve end switches so they can start and stop the burners (boilers had been maintaining 5 PSI all the time, another common problem) and replaced the ballcock in the boiler-feed tank. There's more to do- we'll be back!
The Chapel
@ July 19, 2014 8:20 PM in Lovely Lane Methodist Church- A Steam Heating Museumwas the original sanctuary. The rooms opening off the chapel were probably the original Sunday school rooms. Here we see the same type of rads as in the museum below- these have had TRVs added, as well as Webster 522 traps.
The last pic shows how the Dead Men ventilated the restroom. That capped pipe in the duct fed gas to a small burner, which when lit created a draft to ventilate the room. This was standard procedure in the days before small electric motors became available to operate fans.
The newest section
@ July 19, 2014 8:13 PM in Lovely Lane Methodist Church- A Steam Heating Museumcovers the church hall, Sunday school rooms and gym. It's pretty much standard Webster Vapor with large-tube radiators, as seen here in the hall.
Indirect Stacks & Main Sanctuary
@ July 19, 2014 8:10 PM in Lovely Lane Methodist Church- A Steam Heating MuseumI got out my regular camera for these pics- the cell phone would not have worked so well. Even so, some were underexposed.
This is one of about a dozen stacks of indirect radiation that heat the main sanctuary. Each has from four to eight elements which can be shut off individually. We think they were mounted high enough to provide a decent "A" dimension from the original boiler's waterline. This one still has one of the Webster F&T traps that were installed in the 1930s, changing it from 2-pipe air-vent to something resembling Vapor.
The second pic is in the sanctuary. It has theater-style seats, and you can see the outlets where the heat comes up under the seats.
The third pic is one of the pipe radiators in this section. It's different from the ones in the oldest part of the building, but we still can't find a name on it.
The last pic is the only column-type rad we found so far, in a sitting room. It's a 3-column American Rococo.
The Dead Men

Environment Agency: People to 'stay prepared' for floods
The Environment Agency (EA) has said widespread showers means many places remain on flood alert despite persistent rain expected to ease over Christmas Day and Boxing Day. The EA's director of operations David Jordan said:
Although the rain is set to ease a little in the coming days, the ground is still very wet and river levels remain high, so we would ask people to keep up to date with the latest warnings and stay prepared for flooding.
The EA has 157 flood warnings across the UK, urging people to take immediate action and a further 262 flood alerts.

Thank God the Continental Divides came out.
These shoes are built almost just like those, so compare reviews.
I have low, inflexible arches and these shoes work great with me. They flex at the ball of the foot instead of evenly across the sole. That allows me to support my arch and use my toes to push off. These shoes have taken me over many miles and would keep on going except the have a stench now that has overstayed its welcome. The shoes are laterally rigid as well.

These shoes are awesome, I am looking for another pair! I have completely worn out my first pair. They went to Bomber Mountain in the Cloud Peak Wilderness Area, WY, Medicine Bow Mountains, WY, and countless other hikes, trails, everywhere.
They are so tough, grinding the bottom over the sharpest points of rocks didn't even scratch them. The grip is amazing as we climbed up near vertical rock ledges with climbing gear (I don't recommend that!). They would get soaking wet and be dry again in a very short time. They have not delaminated, but finally I have worn holes through the top from my toes. They are looking pretty bad, but are still the most comfortable pair of shoes that I own.
If I could, I would buy about 10 pairs to last me the rest of my life! Thanks Montrail!
Retailers' Descriptions
Here's what other sites are saying:
The Leona Divide has a sawtooth pattern outsole which grips all surfaces from snow to mud to rock. Combined with high quality rubber, each tooth of the tread flexes and conforms to the ground surface for maximum traction. The midsole is medially posted for pronation control and wraps the forefoot for added stability. The forefoot is pretty wide, but the volume is low, so it can expand to fit wider feet, but narrow feet won't swim in it. Features: IntegraFit Last High Traction Outsoles Toe Protection TerraFlex LD Sole Platform Dual-density lightweight midsole Breathable mesh upper Hydrophobic uppers
- Massey's Outfitters refers to the men's version
The Womens Montrail Leona Divide feels like a road runner but it performs like a trail runner. Its exceptional traction, durability and light weight make the Leona Divide a favorite among off-road runners and adventure racers.
- Backcountry Outlet refers to the women's version
The soft and flexible Leona Divide is ideal for light and fast trail running. Montrail's hydrophobic, fast drying and highly breathable uppers absorb very little moisture so your feet wont get water logged. A full-length shield protects against painful stone bruising by rocks and roots. The stable outsole contains alternating cleats made from two different materials; one that provides traction on softer terrain and another material, similar to rock shoe rubber, that grips on wet rocks. Enhancing the stability and comfort of these shoes is Montrails Integrafit system, which stops blister-causing slippage and provides support to resist pronation. No matter how squirrelly the conditions, you're getting ample protection, stability and traction.

Can't believe I have never reviewed this before ! I first bought this many years ago at an airport for use on holiday (we don't really get sun here in the UK !) Didn't give it much thought, it just did it's job and I never burned.
Anyway now I'm getting older, I find I like to protect my face during the UK "summer" and this really is wonderful - not only prevents sunburn, but really makes my skin look good - at least as good as any BB cream or light foundation I own (and I have quite a few).
Like another reviewer said simply BB cream way ahead of its time. Will definitely replace when it runs out - hope it is never discontinued now Clinique has brought out both BB and CC creams (neither of which do I much like).
The amount of times I have gone back trying to love this as Clinique is very affordable compared to most lines out there but nope. It like every spf/tinted moisturizer I have tried just leaves my face greasy, shiny, and humid which clogs my pores/causes breakouts within hours. Such a shame and especially for a product that claims to be "OIL FREE".

This is an excellent tinted sunscreen. I've used it for years.It's as good as or better than a lot of TM's or BB creams .Excellent mineral based sunscreen, so no irritation around eyes. A lot of people complain about stinging eyes with sunscreens, its the chemical sunscreen components, but as this is only titanium dioxide and zinc oxide they're shouldn't be a problem.This is a good option for foundation in the summer. I just use this and powder, and that's all I need. It can look a little greasy without powder on my combination skin. No , it dosen't give the coverage of a foundation, but it's a nice light summer make up and it will even out skin tone.Never had any problems with breakouts with this. It actually contains a lot of skin beneficial ingredients and is a top pick on beautypedia.Clinique also do an spf 40 version of this, but beware of that one if you have a problem with using chemical sunscreens around eyes as the spf 40 is a mix of chemical and physical. For that reason I prefer this spf 25 version.Good product, average price range, but it's effective , that's the main thing.

This is always in my drawer, and even has been improved over the years, with better SPF and better application. I go through several tubes of it a year (great for scoring bonuses), and have never had even a hint of a tan on my face, even when I end up with color on my neck or chest at the end of the day. Besides the non-chemical sunscreen (a must for rosacea) it also functions as the perfect primer for me. It even things out and augments the glow of my serum. My pores subside and now I have a nice canvas to work from. Even though it is gentle to my skin, when I wash my face at the end of the day, it is still there. It is not hugely expensive, and worth a try for anyone looking to save their skin from the sun.

Not 100% sure what this product is for. There are better primers, richer moisturisers, and more obvious choices for mattifying products. Needless to say, I am going to give this product another chance whilst on holiday to see if it becomes a holiday make up bag hero then! SPF 25 is pretty good and it says it 'wicks away perspiration and absorbs excess oil'. Will update when I've given it a test run in warmer climes!
More reviews by katmatthews8888
I LOVE this moisturizer!! Even though I have normal to dry skin and it does attach itself onto some dry patches I find it moisturizes my skin perfectly. It leaves a beautiful glow on the skin so I don't need to wear foundation although I have tried it under my other foundations and it still gives a perfect finish. It doesn't give me eczema or itch my eyes like my Aveda tinted moisturizer. For €20 its a great price as it lasts forever. I will repurchase over and over again.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I purchased this about a month ago and I am not disappointed! This helps my foundation stay on longer and it goes on smoother, plus it has a perk of spf! I do not regret purchasing.
I tried this out a few times after receiving a sample tube and liked it enough to buy the full size.
- it gave my rough, dehydrated, patchy skin(basically shitty skin full of scars and huge pores)a very polished and dewy look to it without slathering tons of foundation on
- SPF25 and chemical+oil free.
- started to have a slight sting after 1-2 weeks of usage when i put it on
- proceeded to a very tight/pulling feeling later in the day
- somehow seems to suck up all my skin's moisture and natural oil and gave me a very ashy,tired look even though i have combo oily skin
- look and felt like i have a plastic film on my face
Overall its not a bad product, but it just wasn't suitable for my skin. I stop using it when I start getting weird bumps along my jaw area which is an indication that one of my skin product is aggravating my already sensitive skin.
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I'm so mixed about this product. It glides on smoothly, blends well, makes pore look almost invisible, doesn't have that thick white cast that zinc oxide and titanium dioxide-based products have, and it doesn't break me out or irritate my sensitive skin.
However, when it dries, it leave my normal skin feeling SO dry and tight -- especially around my eyes, which are tight to the point of burning. I've tried adding a couple drops of jojoba oil to it, but it only helps a little. I wish Clinique would make a non-matte version of this for those with dry skin or for normal skin during the winter. And I wish they'd make the light yellow tint a little darker.
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
The Clinique sales person recommended this product when I told her I wanted to add a sunscreen to my skincare routine without switching moisturizers. This layers over my Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion seemlessly leaving a dewy finish that isn't oily or sticky. The light tint provides a slight glow on days when I don't want to bother with foundation. However, this is light enough to layer under foundation when I want more coverage. I only wish you got more product for your money. However, I've wasted loads of money on cheaper products that didn't perform. So I guess you get what you pay for.

this is big for a pils, but appropriate for all the intensely flavored big dinners there, and probably the lightest of all the beers they do, so this is the one to drink if you want to fill up on the wonderful food and not the beer. big malty nose, bready and doughy like an untoasted english muffin, grainy and more german than czech, but not real close to either. there is some bitter hops to this on the finish, which would overwhelm a regular european pilsener, but in this fuller bodied brew it makes good sense and cleans up the finish. still a bit more filling than i need, especially in a pilsener, but i get what they are shooting for with this one. nothing special by any means, but a decent craft pale beer to drink that wont get in the way of their incredible food. well carbonated enough to mellow a spicy palate.

Took the in-laws to Yak and Yeti tonight for their last meal in Denver before they drive back to Kansas City in the morning. We really enjoyed the pils in their beer sampler, so I grabbed a growler to enjoy at home.
I'm guessing this is intended to be a German style pils as it has some sulfer on the nose, a lighter color, and a more prominant hop character. Just my guess though, I saw no info about the beer at the brewpub.
Pours a very light straw yellow color with a nice head. Bubbles stream up from the bottom of my perfect pint glass 10 minutes after the pour.
Aromas of fresh bread, graham cracker, and peppery hops. There seem to be some sulfer notes on the nose as well.
Malt character is bready and grainy with some sweetness. Hops are grassy, spicy, and peppery. The finish is dry and moderately bitter.
The body is medium with plenty of carbonation.
The drinkability is the primary reason I bought this growler. We gorged our selves at the Yak and Yeti Indian buffet less than an hour ago. We're talking food coma stuffed here. And yet, I have no problem putting down a few pints back at the house. That is drinkability!
Namaste is a tasty pilsner that provides plenty of noble hop and pilsner malt flavor, while retaining the refreshing character that makes lagers so popular.

"The only thing I'm going to say is that the team has got to take a greater place than the individual," Childress said. "We're in the ultimate team game, and I think you have to treat it as such. So if it's between an individual and the team, it's got to be the team that takes the greater part."
I'm wondering if Coach Lewis from the Begals will learn that?

Professor Joshua Blank of Rutgers Law School–Newark Suggests Changes to Tax Shelter Disclosure Law at National IRS Conference
Newark, NJ, July 9, 2009 – Joshua D. Blank, Assistant Professor of Law at Rutgers School of Law–Newark, today presented "Overcoming Overdisclosure: Toward Tax Shelter Detection" at the 2009 IRS Research Conference, held at Georgetown University Law Center. Blank's article, which will be published later this year in the UCLA Law Review, discusses the administrative problems resulting from the over-reporting of information that is irrelevant to tax shelter detection and proposes ways in which to reduce its occurrence.

Professor Blank's article was selected for presentation through a competitive submission process. The annual conference highlights research on tax compliance and administration by IRS and state tax administrators, tax experts from other countries, academic researchers, and private sector experts. Among the participants in this year's conference were Douglas Shulman, the Commissioner of Internal Revenue, and Austan Goolsbee, a member of the White House Council of Economic Advisers.
In his presentation, Professor Blank addressed the tax shelter reporting regime, in which thousands of taxpayers and their advisors are required to mail the Internal Revenue Service special disclosure forms that reveal details of potentially abusive tax strategies. Blank argues that while the primary aim of current tax law is to deter non-disclosure of information to the IRS by taxpayers and advisors, the government should also strive to prevent "overdisclosure" of information. Such behavior, he explains, can be just as problematic to the IRS's ability to detect and challenge tax shelters.
Professor Blank joined the Rutgers faculty in fall 2008 from New York University School of Law where he taught several advanced tax courses in its graduate tax program. Prior to that he was an associate at Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz, where he advised clients regarding tax aspects of complex public and private company mergers, spin-offs and hostile takeovers. He holds an LL.M. in Taxation from New York University, a J.D. from Harvard, and a B.A. from New York University. Earlier this month he was appointed vice chair of the Teaching Taxation Committee of the Tax Section of the American Bar Association, a committee of more than 250 tax law professors.

Easy for Grisham to encourage pro bono work when he is rolling in cash
We need more people with an understanding of our legal system and our Constitutional system of governance. More minds who know what is up means less chance our system is taken over by the right wing. Remember gentle blog readers, attorneys are the ones who help maintain our rights. Bushies want less attorneys and more Regent Law School drones who simply do as they are told by their "decider". We need more attorneys, not less. Let their numbers wane and witness the deconstruction of our great Nation.
Barnes and Grisham also both bear a striking resemblance to Chief Justice Roberts.
Barnes sucks.
I read his speech – not as sanctimonious as I'd feared. I don't mind when somebody exhorts lawyers to do at least some pro bono work. It grates on me, though, when I feel judged for not making it my life's work. I don't think Grisham, the man responsible for many hack-y legal thrillers, would have the brass ones to get on his high horse to that extent.
John Grisham is indeed wealthy, but he didn't start out that way….and indeed did his share of pro bono work as a mississippi lawyer while selling his first novel out of the trunk of his car. that's america—work hard and you too can succeed. Or you can just take cheap shots. As for politics needing more lawyers, it seems every suit at each end of Penna Ave, White House to the Capitol, has a law degree. What Washington…and our country…really needs more of is honest people with an understanding of history…how and why we're here, and what didn't work in the past and why. If you want more brilliant legalese along the lines of "what your definition of 'is' is," then there's a slick tort lawyer with a $400 haircut ready to take your vote….
Kill 'em all.
Is Rick Barnes a Grisham lookalike, or more like a Mikhail Baryshnikov lookalike? Da! Eto pravda!
I agree "[w]e need more people with an understanding of our legal system and our Constitutional system of governance." I disagree that attorneys are necessarily those people.
Please respond only to the blog in question "More Attorneys," and save your political propaganda for the dinner conversation.
all white people look the same
Tru 'dat, anon.
That's all great John but how is "helping people" going to pay off my student loans?
You see, the professors at my school like to eat well, and to pay their exhorbitant salaries they have to charge us exhorbitant tuition. Tuition paid with money I don't have, and will likely never get. You see, John, half of my class will be unemployed at graduation. We'll get jobs eventually, but they're not jobs we want, they're jobs we have to get to pay off the loans incurred as a result of attending these overpriced frauds. They will be awful, awful jobs at firms like those listed here. Abusive bosses, terrible work environment, no future and no choice. So John, before we help others, who will help us?
While one appreciates Grisham's sentiments, he can't hold a candle to Turow as a writer of realistic legal fiction. There is much to be said for emphasizing quality over quantity.
And Loyola 2L, quit whining. Before you complain so about the prospect of hellish law firm employment, go swing a hammer and bust your knuckles for 10 years or so.
We certainly don't need more lawyers in Southern California. In fact, the dim employment prospects for new lawyers so frequently described by Loyola 2L have caused me to frequently advocate for closing at least half of the law schools in California. Hell, we have 4 in San Diego. Thats right, four! That is one less than the number of law schools in the entire state of North Carolina. And there are more law schools in Orange County and Los Angeles County (I can think of 4 in LA County off the top of my head).
Grisham's work with the Innocence Project is admirable. He also rote non-fiction about related issues.
Close law schools?!? BS. The legal professions provides the most information up front for anyone wanting to enter. Law schools provide detailed employment statistics broken down by salary and firm size. Law firm salaries and bonuses for associates at all levels in various markets and specific firms are very public. And finally, law firm websites and Martindale provide bios on how many lawyers at Y firm graduated for Z school.
Comments by Loyola2L complaining of job prospects and salary are silly – if you didn't know before you went to law school, you should have. As long as people are willing to pay, why should schools close. Once enough prospective students get the message, schools will naturally close from declining enrollment.
What? No link to Ole Miss' law school? Show us some love, Lattman.
Jake – absolutely. Do people actually put Turow and Grisham in the same category?

Skiing: UNH skiing preps for big weekend
With the Eastern Intercollegiate Ski Association (EISA) season coming to an end, the UNH Nordic and Alpine ski teams are putting all their efforts into competing their best when it counts the most. The EISA consists of 15 schools from around New England, with schools representing Divisions I through III. Vermont ranks first in every category, except for men's classical nordic, a category in which it still owns the second and third-place spots.
After finishing sixth in last week's Williams Carnival (536 points) and third in the Dartmouth Carnival (710 points) on Feb. 7-8, the 'Cats are looking to hit their stride. Sophomore Eirik Fosnaes finished third in the 10k, earning the team 60 points on the day. "Our scoring puts an emphasis on top-10 finishes," Nordic head coach Cory Schwartz said. "We don't even look at [overall] times: it's all about [where one] places."
Fosnaes isn't the only successful Scandinavian on the team. Senior Per Lindgren, a native of Sweden, finished fifth in the 20k classic at the Dartmouth Carnival and has a total of six top-10 finishes in either the 10k or 20k this season. Lindgren and Fosnaes are also ranked No. 13 and No. 14, respectively, in the NCAA Nordic classical skiing rankings. In the freestyle category, Fosnaes ranks No. 14 while Lindgren sits at No. 21.
Jay Ogle leads the men's alpine team in giant slalom ranking (No. 7), followed by Coley Oliver (No. 9), Kris Hopkins (No. 13) and Geoff Bonewald (No. 19). Oliver is UNH's top-ranked slalom competitor, ranking No. 9 in the national standings. Sam Coffey holds the No. 15 spot by just two points over Hopkins (No. 16) and Ogle sits just outside the Top-20 by one point.
On the women's side, Annika Taylor is the top Nordic competitor ranking second in NCAA Freestyle rankings and sixth in Classical. Taylor missed the three Carnivals this season, as she was competing for the Great Britain in the Under-23 World Championships in Italy.
For women's alpine, UNH has three skiers in the giant slalom top-20: Laura Rozinowicz (No. 11), Katie Farrow (No. 15) and Jenna Kantor (No. 19). For women's slalom, Randa Teschner (No. 5) is the top competitor for the Wildcats, followed by Farrow in 10th, Morgan Klein in 18th and Rozinowicz rounds out the top-20 (No. 20).
"We're a unique sport: each week we combine men and women for alpine and Nordic for team scores," Schwartz said. "For them to make the National Championship, it's [based on] the individual scores."
Skiing is also unique in the way they recruit athletes to the team. The top high school skiers will compete in the Junior Championships, which are held at the same time as the NCAAs, generally within close proximity to one another to allow coaches to scout recruits.
"We don't recruit too much out of high schools ... there are specialized ski schools, such as Green Mountain Valley School ... it's a school based around racing."
Middlebury College will play host to this weekend's EISA Championships/East Regional Carnival. After a week of no competition, the University of Utah will host the NCAA championships on March 5-8.

The Impact of the Cato Institute
For over 30 years, the Cato Institute has worked to change the climate of ideas. The cumulative effect of this effort is real impact today. Here's how Cato puts Sponsors' contributions to work.
Beyond how communications about swine flu are handled, consider also the merits of this "public health emergency." Hamilton Nolan at Gawker has a pithy retrospective.
Part of controlling the damage from disasters, terrorists attacks, and other national public incidents is controlling public reaction. So it is with the current swine flu "public health emergency." So far, there have been twenty confirmed cases of swine flu in the United States.
In terms of managing reaction, there's good and bad in the following quote from this morning's Washington Post: " 'Clearly we all have individual responsibility for dealing with this situation,' said deputy national security adviser John O. Brennan."
The good: Brennan is correct on the merits. Controlling flu is mostly a matter of good hygiene.
The bad: A deputy national security adviser should not give quotes about flu outbreaks to a national newspaper. His title circumscribes his responsibilities, and he conveys wrongly by speaking about the matter that a (still largely potential) swine flu outbreak is a national security event. It is not under any reasonable definition of the phrase "national security."
Just like the U.S. president shouldn't be perceived as occupying himself with pirates off the Somali coast - the administration handled that situation well - a national security adviser should not weigh in on an inchoate outbreak of flu.
The result from suggesting that the flu affects national security could be more damage than the outbreak itself: canceled travel, reduced trade and commerce, pulling kids from school, staying home from work. An infantilized country is a weaker country, not a safer one.

HUNTSVILLE, AL (WZDX) - A space launch was postponed Monday and the delay is adding extra time to what many hope will lead to a medical breakthrough.
Those experiments will be sent up to the International Space Station. Not only will they be monitored from right here in Huntsville, one of the experiments themselves was designed here.
"We've been in business here for 13 years, so we've been in business pretty much since it started," said Ricardo Rodriguez, the Payload Operations Manager.
Here at the Marshall Space Flight Center, workers are kept busy studying science.
"We are in charge of the science that happens on ISS. This control room you see behind me is where we manage all of the science that is going on ISS," Rodriguez said.
Part of that science is from right here in North Alabama at the University of Alabama in Huntsville.
"There's a payload going up. It's a protein crystal growth payload, and what that means is they're growing crystals of our human proteins on orbit," said Rodriguez.
That could have big implications here on earth.
"The reason they do that is because in zero gravity. They get bigger crystals and then they can bring them back home and test those crystals. One of the things they're doing is designing drugs that can attack a particular protein so that rather than a drug attacking your body generally, it may pick up a cancer cell and attack just that cell," says Rodriguez.
But the Marshall Space Flight Center will have to wait just a little longer to start these experiments. Monday's SpaceX shuttle launch was delayed because of a helium leak.
"It's kind of nice to have home grown experiments going up there. The fact that Alabama does have a lot of science, Huntsville is a big science place. Birmingham is a huge science place when it comes to medical science. So we see their payloads going up and their science going up there all the time," said Rodriguez.
There hasn't been a rescheduled date yet for the SpaceX launch. The next opportunity for the launch could be this Friday.

Thank you all for the amazing support!
We've been over whelmed with comments and questions for the past week, so we would like to answer some frequently asked questions here!
Q: When and where can I order a pair?
A: We are currently working making a Kickstarter crowd funding campaign. Once the Kickstarter is up, hopefully in a month or two, you can pre-order through the Kickstarter. We will e-mail everyone and post the link to the Kickstarter when that happens. If you haven't signed up for e-mail updates yet, you can do so at http://www.axentwear.com/
Q: How much will the headphones cost?
A: We're aiming to keep the price as low as possible without compromising quality. The price we've decided on is $115.
Q: Will you ship internationally?
A: Yep! Though shipping prices will be different than domestic orders. We are not in control of how much shipping companies charge.
Q: Do the cat ear speakers actually work?
A: Yes, the speakers are fully functional so you can switch between listening to your music silently or sharing your music with your friends!
Q: Will they come in multiple colors?
A: Yes! And when you pre-order through our Kickstarter, you can vote on which top colors will be produced.
Q: Will they be wireless? Will they come with a mic? LED lights? And if so, will the LED lights change colors?
A: That will depend on how much money we can raise through Kickstarter. The more pre-orders we get, the more funds we have to add even more cool features to the headphones without increasing the cost to you! So when the Kickstarter goes live, please support us by pre-ordering a pair! The more fund we raise, the more features your headphones will have :)
Q: My question wasn't answered here?
A: Please be patient. We're still working out the final details of certain features. We want to be absolutely certain before we answer a question. If your question hasn't been answered yet, it will be in the near future so stay tuned! :D
Thank you all again for the amazing level of support! We look forward to bringing you a new music experience!
and that's why you don't go around fixing people
and that's why you don't give up pieces of yourself to make someone else whole
We do this more than we think. Sometimes we reject those who have helped us the most. Other times, we help those who allow their egos to hide their humilities.

FINA in mourning - Water polo legend Dezso Gyarmati passed away
Legendary water polo player and coach Dezso Gyarmati has died at the age of 86. One of the best players the game ever seen and in fact the most decorated in history. Till date he is the only player who earned five Olympic medals during his magnificent career: three of them were gold (1952, 1956, 1964), one silver (1948) and one bronze (1960).
The left-handed genius could play in all positions of the field. Known for his fearless approach in every game, he was able to decide the biggest clashes single-handedly. Gyarmati was the protagonist of water polo's probably most famous match, the clash between Hungary and the USSR at the 1956 Olympics. Though remembered as the 'Blood bath of Melbourne' after the scenes of the dying minutes, it was team captain Gyarmati who opened the scoring and set up the other three goals Hungary netted while winning 4-0 en route to the title.
