A Christmas Peril
I grew up in a house with my grandmother, so every Christmas there were a lot of people around. Traditionally an aunt or two would spend the night, and when the kids were sent to bed, all of the adults would prep the gifts and set everything up for the next day. The last of the food would be prepared, the tree would be lit, and then, well, I never got to see the rest.
One of my aunts loved to tease people, and I was a sensitive kid, so she was on me for many years. One Christmas Eve, she spent the night at our house and started in on me early with suggestions that I wouldn't be getting anything this year, followed by descriptions of what my cousin (her son) would be getting. Then she tried to come up with some nicknames for me. Peanuthead, Crybaby, Gunboats, and Wheezy (I had asthma) were the standouts. They didn't take, but when you're young and lacking comebacks, it's the intent that really bothers you.
When I lay down to sleep that night I was relieved to get away from her merciless taunts, and since I was 11 (and already knew the truth about Santa Claus), it wasn't as hard to start drifting off as it was for younger kids. Just as I was reaching that sweet spot before sleep, my room erupted into a blaze of light. I looked up and with blurry sleep-heavy eyes saw my aunt standing in the doorway with her hand on the light switch. I'm not sure if she said anything--the whole incident is a haze--but what I do recall is that my hand slowly rose from under the covers with the middle finger as its sole representative.
As it hung out there I realized what I was doing and sleepiness fell away. I looked at her and then at my finger. "Oh yeah?" she said and went downstairs. Undoubtedly she was going to tell my parents what I had done and my life would be over. I started to review my life up to that point. Though generally a good child, I had been beaten (or spanked) and punished in other ways. For this offense I imagined the only thing that could suffice was the burning of all my presents and my expulsion from my home to live life as a shoeless beggar. I wondered if my mother would rip the offending finger off? Perhaps they would take turns beating me with sticks?
The middle finger! I gave my aunt the middle finger--on Christmas Eve, no less. Maybe I could say I was possessed. I had to be. I had never even defied an adult on a small scale up to that point. How could I have done this? Why didn't my other fingers try to protect me, like friends holding someone back from a fight? If one more had aroused itself, I could have made a peace sign, but instead I was going to die on Christmas Eve.
Then I heard the worst sound I've ever known, my mother coming upstairs. I prayed to God and Mr. T because I knew it would take both of them to save me. I wondered what death felt like, if Ricky "The Dragon" Steamboat would ever recover from that bell wound to the throat, and if I were a Jedi would I be able to save my life? As she neared the door my mouth went dry, my hands gripped the covers, and I wished for a quick death. I contemplated peeing on myself but remembered that when I died my body would take care of that anyway.
My mother opened the door and said something I will never forget: "I know she teases you, but next time don't do something like that. Go on to sleep." She hadn't breathed fire. I wasn't dead. I wasn't even in trouble. I would get to open my Christmas presents. I thanked God (and Mr. T) and went to sleep.

On the morning of Monday, August 10, a panel of distinguished cultural sociologists gathered to discuss "The Future of Cultural Sociology." The panel was organized by incoming section Chair Karen Cerulo and she asked me to moderate. The room was overflowing, and we had a spirited discussion featuring Karin Knorr Cetina, Joshua Gamson, Jeffrey K. Olick, Karen Cerulo, Viviana Zelizer and Ann Mische.
The panelists covered questions about what they did and did not expect to be the future of the sub-discipline and its relationship with other disciplines and other parts of sociology. Toward the end, a discussion emerged of just how much of a "big tent" cultural sociology should be vis-a-vis the sociology of culture. Another way of thinking about this dispute is to what extent the varying elements of cultural sociology—or the sociology of culture—mutually inform one another instead of existing in parallel with one another.
Unsurprisingly, we did not have time to finish the discussion in San Francisco, and so we are moving it online to the discussion area of CultureWeb, the section's website. You can join the conversation below:
To open the discussion I asked for suggestions of questions from section members via email. I received over 50 suggestions, and I distilled these into five big questions to get the ball rolling. The original questions are below, but the discussion was wide-ranging and went well beyond these areas!
1.) One member writes that "studies of communication media have become increasingly peripheral to the sociology of culture." Several others ask how the panel sees media, particularly mass and interactive media modalities, in the future of cultural sociology. On a closely related note, what about the sociological study of language? How does, or should, it relate to cultural sociology?
2.) Another broad set of questions involves what I will call the kinds of culture, or as one questionwriter put it, "where Culture fits into culture." One writer says that "sociology rarely gives...attention" to "the arts, literature, the mass media, especially film, fashion." Others ask about areas for development in the sociology of music. I'd like to discuss both the frontiers for the study of these objects but also what affinities and roadblocks there are to combining the study of these cultural forms with the study of cultures as collective, unifying, or symbolic systems. As one writer asks: "What is the role of art, literature, music, etc. in other fundamental social relations, especially race, class, gender, etc.?"
3.) Two writers had similar questions that I think will be very interesting to explore. "What new areas or topics of cultural sociology aren't we likely to see in coming years? What are the barriers to doing cultural analysis on certain kinds of topics? Is the sky the limit?" "What questions do they think are likely to emerge from the field but are dead-ends, uninteresting, or otherwise hazardous?"
4.) We need to consider international comparisons. "What is the future of comparative cultural sociology, and how can we make the field more truly international?" "Is there a future for 'culture' in current approaches to globalization? Do we need a new paradigm of globalization to make room for culture?"
5.) Several writers asked about what might be called the utility of culture. Does the sociology of culture have policy relevance? What is it, and how? "What is the 'demon of our time' (Weber) and how should cultural sociologists be dealing with it?" "What is the relationship between very real and changing ecological conditions with 'environmentalism'" (or "the environment") as social/symbolic phenomena?

Poet Left at the Altar - Chapter 3
A spider is building a web on the other side of the table outside where I write this. I don't like spiders, but I have no heart for destroying his morning's diligent work, the kind of work I do when I sit down to face my own heart and mind and turn those flowing currents into words. He struggles, he goes back and forth, knotting the invisible into something that can catch things so he'll have a dinner. Could be a she, I don't know with spiders. But I see the invisible and seemingly fragile web of poetry publishing in his/her labor. So easily swept aside by chance, someone walking through the web they can't see. Some life event like illness or death or university budget cutbacks that closes a press and leaves authors and their books stranded.
We have always had poetry, but poetry publishing in books has only been available to a general audience for a few hundred years, a short time in its total history. Maybe we need to look past the vehicle to the substance and find a way to create a more vibrant poetry culture that is independent of individuals, university budgets, indie bookstores, distributors, etc., etc. Maybe we should leave the printing press behind entirely. It has served a great purpose, but does it serve poetry now?

Rachel, you really struck a note with me with your comment. I agree that we need to be sensitive to the possibility of new forms to carry our poems to those who find them appealing.ReplyDelete
Are you aware the NPR featured a poetry competition from all over the world as part of the Olympics?
Poets were invited to celebrate with a "Poetry Games" competition harkening back to Greece where poetry was an integral part of athletic festivals.

The other Eastern European states do not. They are a defence parasite - they expect the Western Europeans and Americans to die for them.
Indeed the Russians could drive through most of these countries without encountering any siginificant resistance.

Borders were not solved after WWII. Borders are still an issue in Eastern Europe because they're artificial and not based on ethnic divisions.
Hence problems in Moldova, Yugoslavia, Ukraine, Georgia, Estonia etc.

Speaking of borders, Estonia and Russia finally signed the treaty... much to the chagrin of many people who now miss the official loss of one county and a part of another... Then again... Finland also lost part of their territory to Russia...

JFK wanted peace in Vietnam? Sure an American peace. JFK supported South Vietnamese rearmament and increased number of troops (advisers) in Vietnam.
Obama is a good man, but I think he's out of his depth in the international field. America seems lost and rudderless under his direction.

French certainly aren't selling any Mirage fighters to Russia, especially as Mirage 2000 went out of production years ago. They are selling amphibious warfare ships (aka helicopter carriers).
Nearly all equipment in Russian military is Russian.
And the Germans entered Russia in 1941 and lost the Third Reich for their efforts. Russia is a massive country with extreme weather and a people who are known through history for their ability to suffer. This isn't rumbling through Iraq 2003 or France 1940.

The 7 Ton Brute
The Hawker Typhoon is an aggressive looking warbird. As part of a scratch building contest I opted to build this plane for the very challenging paint scheme.
As the contest allowed I spent a good deal of time designing this model inside sketchup and learned quite a bit in the process. I developed a new accurate way of constructing a complex semi-symmetrical airfoil. I even took the time to build in some retracts. Too bad the retracts only lasted long enough for five flights, but it was a fun adventure. (I'll get back to retracts later). I also explored using a slicer script to make section parts for the complex shapes that I otherwise would have carved. Using the Phlatprinter I made the most accurate canopy I've made to date along with a positive mold for a cowl.
As this one was for a contest I wanted to pull all the stops and have a fully featured aircraft.
Rudder, check
Split flaps, check
Retractable undercarriage, check
Wing running lights, check check!
It was all there.
Applying the lessons learned from the Corsair, I mounted the servos to control the tail under a hatch up front. This actually was for another reason as well. The Typhoon has a very short relative area in front of the Center of Gravity (CoG/CG). To many this is nothing new, but to completely understand why the servos were moved towards the CG you must understand the concept of a moment arm, or sometimes called a lever arm. A moment arm, or a moment is simply a rotational force on an object. The longer this distance, or longer the lever arm, the greater the moment. A moment is figured by simple multiplication, and as I've written in Principles of Design, all forces on the aircraft act about the center of gravity. For instance, the weight of the tail creates a moment illustrated as this:
Applied mathematics:
Typically, if I have 20 grams of servo weight in the tail at a distance of 70 cm from the CG, that equates to a moment of 1400g-cm.
To balance the aircraft at the CG I will need to counter that moment. The distance from the area in the nose to the CG is about 20 cm.
This means to counter the weight of two micro servos in the tail I will need additional 70 grams of something in the nose pulling the opposite rotation.
That's over three times the tail weight, not including the actual tail!!
For the egg heads out there, this is setup as the following equation:
20g * 70cm = 70g * 20cm
Or Expressed as: 20g * 70cm - 70g * 20cm = 0
(Moment & Opposite Moment must be Zero!!)
As you should be able to see, the shorter the nose, the greater the required weight to balance the tail.
Likewise, weight in the tail will require a multiple of that weight in the nose to counter it. Illustrated as this:
Now many folks will simply slide their battery around as a ballast to get the aircraft to balance. ...But I have seen others that will add lead weight or heavy spinners to achieve the same effect. Sometimes you simply don't have a choice in this matter, as with many WWI era biplanes, but going that route should only be done as a last resort.
In reality these forces are not linear as shown above. There are dozens of things that create more density in a given section of the airframe. Short nosed airplanes need a lot of parts crammed in up front to properly balance the tail. Additionally the shorter nose means that the weight up front will not be as forgiving to find a sweet spot. When you have a longer distance to balance the craft you also have the luxury of spreading the weight out over that distance. This could easily give you several inches to play with while obtaining good results though the band of where you actually stick the battery. On the shorter nose, you have more of a spike of weight, which may only allow a few millimeters of a band to find a good balance on the CG. The fact of the matter is, no matter what, if the plane is to balance these moment forces must be equal!
The actual usable numbers for the distances on my Typhoon are approximately 15cm from the nose to CG (not including the spinner) and 75cm from the tip of the tail back to the CG. For those two 9 gram servos that far back I would have needed 90 extra grams upfront in the nose, in English that's an extra 3.2 Oz!
Incidentally, I have recently learned that the Typhoon required a massive amount of weight in the tail! The original H-block engine was indeed a beast! So in short, I believe I could have increased the size of the power plant by quite a bit on this model airplane.
No More Math! ME WANT PICS!
The Typhoon isn't all tough as nails to build, but at this point it is already easy to see why the factory workers went on strike due to the advanced building techniques required to build this powerful bird. On of the easier things to deal with is the thickness of the wing. This made it ideal for retracts as most wheels should be able to fit inside. Thick wings are also easy to form. But before one gets too excited, the wing also has a bad set of features going for it. The type of tip dihedral used also creates a problem for the builder as it is difficult to get two identical anythings in this world, not to mention mirror opposites. On a straight dihedral it is easy to keep the wing tips at an even distance up as the wing can just be rotated about the middle. With the wing tip style dihedral the problem is both wings must be made evenly or very funny things will happen during flight. To counter this problem I came up with a three piece sectioned wing.
Because of the thicker designed wing, the foam is much easier to shape into the correct shape. The thickness also adds to the inherent strength of the assembly.
To aid in assembly shapes were cut into the parts so that they can be matched. In the following pic I show matching two pentagons. Also used are triangles, and triangles with "T" inside to mark the tops of parts.
Each section of the wing, except for the tips, was designed in three parts. First is a leading edge part. This part gets rolled and shaped to the leading edge of the airfoil, it can then be glued into place using hot melt glue. The bottom skin is then rolled slightly as is the top. The trailing edge of the bottom is sanded thin and then glued on. The tops can now be fit, but it may be best to wait so that access is available as you build.
On the thinner sections clear packing tape can be used to keep the foam from splitting as it is aggressively rolled. Notice that the washout designed in CAD transfers into the actual build. One must be careful however, as the washout must be equal. A bit of precision in building is required, or perhaps a bit of muscle to keep the twist equal.

Toulon will hope to extend their five-game unbeaten run at home to Castres on Saturday while Biarritz and Perpignan travel to the capital.
The weekend kicks off with a crunch game in Bayonne where the struggling hosts are aiming to get their season back on track against a Toulouse side smarting from a heavy loss last week.
Stade Fran�ais, who are flirting with the drop zone, host resurgent Perpignan while Bordeaux-Begles entertain Montpellier and winless Mont-de-Marsan welcome Agen.
Second-placed Clermont will expected victory at home to Grenoble while third-placed Biarritz travel to Paris to face Racing-Metro in the late game.

RC Toulon v Castres Olympique
Stade Felix Mayol, Toulon
Riding a wave of confidence thanks to a perfect record so far in a remarkable start to the season, Toulon will want to maintain their momentum in just their second home game this term.
With a rematch of last season's final against Toulouse on the menu for next week, RCT will be given a stern test by a Castres side that earned a rare draw at Stade Mayol last year.
Indeed both of last season's clashes between these sides ended on level terms. CO will also take heart from the fact that they have lost just twice in their last seven visits to Toulon. Ending Biarritz's unbeaten run last week provided confirmation that Castres are in solid form.
Toulon number eight Chris Masoe is set face his former side. The home team are also likely to send out a starting half-back pairing of Frederic Michalak and Jonny Wilkinson for the first time. Wilkinson and fellow Englishman Delon Armitage return to the squad after sitting out last week's win in Montpellier.
For the visitors, lock Rodrigo Capo-Ortega returns but Mathias Roland, Ibrahim Diarra, Daniel Kirkpatrick and Max Evans are amongst the absentees due to injury. Romain Teulet is being rested.
Results last season: 25-25 draw in Toulon; 22-22 draw in Castres
Prediction: RCT are in great form. Toulon by nine points
Kick-off: 15.00 (13.00 GMT)
Referee: Patrick P�chambert
Union Bordeaux-B�gles v Montpellier HR
Stade Andr� Moga, B�gles
Bordeaux-B�gles will be in confident mood after a convincing win over Stade Fran�ais last week and will fancy their chances against a Montpellier side that have yet to win on the road this year.
Despite going down at home to Toulon last week, Montpellier will take positives out of the second half, when they outplayed and outscored the league leaders.
With a little more patience and better finishing, Fabien Galthi�'s team are capable of beating most teams.
UBB welcome back Lachie Munro while Montpellier are bolstered by the return of Pumas prop Maximiliano Bustos.
Results last season: Montpellier won 30-26 in Bordeaux; Bordeaux won 20-16 in Montpellier
Prediction: UBB coach Rapha�l Ibanez has called on the home crowd to make themselves heard. It might just work. Bordeaux-Begles by three or four points
Kick-off: 18.30 (16.30 GMT)
Referee: J�r�me Garc�s
ASM Clermont Auvergne v FC Grenoble
Parc des Sports Marcel Michelin, Clermont Ferrand
Clermont climbed up to second place in the standings last week, but left it very late to get the better of Mont-de-Marsan.
Les Jaunards are still far from their best but at home, where they have not lost in three years, they're a safe bet for four points.
Grenoble have been the surprise of the season so far but a loss in Agen last week highlighted their limitations.
Wales full-back Lee Byrne and Georgia prop Davit Zirakashvili are both injury absentees for Clermont. Byrne sustained a twisted ankle and Zirakashvili injured his ribs last weekend.
Clermont are, however, boosted by the return from injury of hooker Benjamin Kayser, ex-All Black winger Sitiveni Sivivatu, Scotland lock Nathan Hines and full-back Anthony Floch.
Previous results: Clermont won 31-17 in 2005
Prediction: Clermont at home? Clermont by at least fifteen points
Kick-off: 18.30 (16.30 GMT)
Referee: Salem Attalah
Stade Montois v SU Agen
Stade Guy Boniface, Mont-de-Marsan
It's crunch time as the bottom two clubs face off.
Not much has gone right for Mont-de-Marsan, who came with ten minutes of claiming their first points last week only to wilt under the pressure from Clermont at the death and be left empty handed.
But after a series of games against heavyweight opponents, les Montois finally have a realistic chance to bag a victory.
Agen, who got their first win last week against Grenoble, will know this a chance to climb out of the relegation zone. Philippe Sella's team will be out to build on last week's performance in game that could be pivotal for the rest of their season.
Previous results: Mont-de-Marsan won 18-12 at home in 2010 (ProD2)
Prediction: Mont-de-Marsan have played much better rugby than their situation on table suggests. Mont-de-Marsan by six points
Kick-off: 18.30 (16.30 GMT)
Referee: Mathieu Raynal
Stade Fran�ais v USA Perpignan
Stade Charl�ty, Paris
Perpignan started the season in uneasy fashion but will head to capital feeling reassured after completely dominating Toulouse in their gala clash in Barcelona last week.
The Catalans still have some serious issues at scrum time due to a spate of injuries but played some exciting rugby in Spain.
Stade Fran�ais, by contrast, are on the verge of crisis. With just one win so far this season, another defeat could drop the Parisians into the relegation zone, a far cry from the ambitions presented by new boss Richard Pool-Jones at the start of the season.
The hosts will also be worried by USAP's record in the capital, where they have lost just once in five years.
Stade Fran�ais have been struck by injuries with scrum-half Julien Dupuy ruled out for three weeks while lock Gerhard Mostert is set to an eight-week layoff after shoulder surgery.
Results last season: Stade Fran�ais won both games: 35-31 at home and 35-16 in Perignan
Prediction: Things are not going well for Stade Fran�ais. Perpignan by five points
Kick-off: 18.30 (16.30 GMT)
Referee: Romain Poite
Racing-M�tro 92 v Biarritz Olympique
Stade Yves Du Manoir - Colombes (Paris)
Racing-M�tro confirmed their strong early-season form with their second win on the road, in Bayonne, last week. Les Franciliens, now seventh, are growing into a very attractive style under their new coaching staff and have not been justly rewarded for their efforts.
Gonzalo Quesada's team will face a stern test of their game plan this weekend though against a Biarritz side in a rich vein of form. BO conceded their first defeat last week but will be desperate to regain forward momentum eights days ahead of the all-important Basque derby.
Biarritz have not enjoyed their recent trips to Colombes though, having lost on all three visits there since Racing's return to the top division.
The home side are struggling with a few injuries however (Wisniewski , Dambielle, Tuugahala, Vulivuli, Leo'o and Descons ) and will be eagerly awaiting the arrival of new signing Olly Barkley in a fortnight.
Biarritz will be without veteran lock J�r�me Thion, who has an Achilles tendon injury. Rapha�l Lakafia leads the side while internationals Wenceslas Lauret, Iain Balshaw and Damien Traille ride the bench.
Biarritz: Haylett-Petty, Baby, Gimenez, Burotu, Brew, Peyrelongue, Lesgourgues, Lakafia (cap), Guyot, M.Lund, Taele, E.Lund, Broster, Heguy, Blaauw
Replacements: Genevois, Barcella, Dubarry, Lauret, Traille, Ngwenya, Balshaw, Gomez Kodela
Results last season: Racing 28-9 at home; Biarritz won 22-13 at home
Prediction: Racing have looked good so far. Racing by seven points
Kick-off: 20.40 (18.40 GMT)
Referee: Laurent Cardona

Packing For Your Hospital Stay
About six weeks from your due date is a good time to begin packing a bag for your upcoming stay with us at Women's & Children's Hospital. Why prepare so early? Well, babies have been known to come early. Here are a few items to consider slipping into your overnight bag:
- Robe and slippers. Button or wrap-around robes are preferred.
- Nightgown or pajamas. Nothing binding. Think comfort.
- Two good support or breastfeeding bras.
- Personal care items like a toothbrush, toothpaste, deodorant, shampoo and other essentials that will help you feel more at home.
- Photo and video equipment. If you take pictures or video of the baby in the birthing room or afterwards, be sure to bring proper flash equipment, batteries and chargers.
- Pillows with colored pillow cases.
- Going home outfit. You'll want something loose-fitting.
What to Pack for Baby
Here are a few items you may want to have pre-washed and packed for the trip home with the new addition to your family:
- Undershirt.
- Receiving blanket.
- Sleeper or other outfit.
- Hat.
- Extra blanket, depending on weather.
- Car seat – be sure it is properly installed and you know how to use it.
- Disposable diapers and wipes are provided by the hospital, but it's never a bad idea to pack a few extra.

|Artist-In-Residence Brings Broadway Experience to Manhattanville College
To make it to Broadway performers need more than just talent, they need to be responsive and punctual as well, something Peter Pucci, artist-in-residence for the Dance & Theatre Department at Manhattanville College, knows and tries to pass on to his students.
"It's the real thing," the professional choreographer and movement director said explaining the hard work and dedication it takes to make it in show business. "It's a tough business, but it is very gratifying."
Pucci first came to Manhattanville after Prof. Ara Fitzgerald, a friend of his wife's, told him the Dance & Theatre Department was looking for someone to teach a class.
"That is how it started and they have slowly reeled me in," he said with a laugh. His role has expanded to teaching more classes and directing productions as he enters his seventh year at the college.
He explained that he has loved his time at the College and is grateful that the department allows him to work in the field as well as at Manhattanville. His most recent work can be seen in "The Old Friends," which is playing at the Signature Theatre in New York City.
"I have one foot in the academic world and one foot in the professional world is kind of what I do as an artist-in-residence," Pucci said.
He also tries to mix his roles by offering his students experiences outside of the classroom. This year he is giving them a chance to go to two of the films being shown during the "Dance on Film" series at the Jacob Burns Film Center.
Pucci will be moderating the discussion segments after the two films, "To Dance Like a Man," on Oct. 14, and "An Evening With Pilobolus," the company he was principal dancer, co-choreographer, and rehearsal director for, on Oct. 16 and helped put the series together. His relationship with the film center has allowed him and Fitzgerald the opportunity to show one of the films in several of their classes the week of the series and hopefully start a "Dance on Film" collection in the College's library.
Other companies and productions he has worked with include the Joffrey Ballet, Michael Wilson's "The Orphans' Home Cycle," Paul Simon's "Dream on By," The Big Apple Circus' "Dance On!" and has his own dance company Pucci Plus.

The plan is to post about my first year homeschooling my 4th grader and my struggles with depression. Now that my little Ev is going to Kindergarten at public school, hopefully you'll find me elbow deep in sewing projects during my free time (and share some of those too).
As a first year homeschooler, I'm sure I don't know much about the challenges that lie before me. I've done a ton of research and spent endless amounts of time planning and thinking. My son is extremely bright and sensitive and he just wasn't happy or excelling in a traditional public school setting. His school and classroom teachers were caring and skilled and I don't fault them one bit. In fact, I'm sending my Ev to public school this year where I believe she'll get an excellent education. At this point I'm playing it by ear and I'm OK with that.
I've come to think its time to share my journey with depression in case it can help someone else. Depression is a part of my life every day and so it should be part of my blogging as well. Sometimes life is good but I won't pretty over the bad and the ugly anymore. My life isn't close to perfect and most of the time I'm OK with that, too.

For Immediate
Release: April 19, 2008
VESTAL, N.Y. Binghamton (13-21, 6-5 AE) continued its winning ways at home, sweeping a doubleheader from visiting Albany (9-27-1, 4-7 AE) Saturday afternoon at Varsity Field. The Bearcats won 16-5 and 4-3 to improve to 6-1 at home. Binghamton has now won six of its last eight games.
In the opener, BU jumped on Albany pitching for nine runs in the first two innings and collected 16 hits in all, including three home runs and five doubles. The Bearcats scored four in the first, five in the second, two in the fourth, three in the fifth and two more in the sixth.
Junior first baseman Ryan Holley (Frankfort, Ill.) led the charge with a 3-for-5, four-RBI performance. Holley ripped a two-run home run in the first inning - his fourth of the season. Sophomore left fielder Joe Charron (Schaghticoke, N.Y.) went 2-for-4 with three RBI, and junior designated hitter Ken Jacobi (Milford, Conn.) and freshman third baseman Brian Ivan (Toronto, Ontario) each had a solo home run, two hits and two RBI. Senior second baseman Ryan James (Wading River, N.Y.) went 2-for-3 with an RBI and three runs scored.
Junior lefty Jeff Dennis (North Syracuse, N.Y.) allowed four hits in 3.2 innings of work before giving way to freshman Morgan Smith (Clifton Park, N.Y.) who earened the win in relief. Smith struck out four and allowed just one hit in 2.1 innings.
In game two, sophomore righty Murphy Smith (Clifton Park, N.Y.) scattered six hits and two runs over five innings and BU built a 4-0 lead before hanging on in the final two frames. Junior reliever Greg Lane (Binghamton, N.Y.) pitched the final two innings for his fourth save of the season.
Binghamton plated two runs in the first, one in the second and one in the fifth to build a 4-0 cushion. But Albany made things interesting with two runs in the sixth and one in the seventh. The Great Danes had the tying run on first in the seventh before Lane struck out Mike Konstanty to end the game.
Freshman right fielder Peter Bregartner (East Islip, N.Y.) led off the bottom of the first with a solo home run to open the scoring - his fourth of the season. Holley added a run-scoring single for his fifth RBI of the day. In the second inning, James delivered an RBI single to score freshman center fielder Corey Taylor (Vestal, N.Y.), who drilled the first of his two doubles two batters earlier. In the fifth, Charron led off with a double and eventually scored on an RBI groundout by Jacobi.
Bregartner and Taylor each went 2-for-3.
The teams conclude their series with a nine-inning game at noon on Sunday.

She loves a good, meaty role and Amy Adams found exactly what she was looking for in the forthcoming flick "Big Eyes."
In the newly-released teaser trailer, the "American Hustle" actress plays artist Margaret Keane, who became quite popular in the 1950s and 60s for her paintings of children with really large eyes.
Santa Monica was a little hotter tonight (March 1) as the 2014 Film Independent Spirit Awards brought stars like Keanu Reeves, Rosario Dawson and Krysten Ritter to town.
Sporting some snazzy threads, the actors turned heads as they made their arrival at the big beach tent and smiled for the shutterbugs.
Drawing in a gaggle of celebs in town for Oscar weekend, QVC held its Red Carpet Style event at the Four Seasons in Beverly Hills on Friday (February 28).

I was so excited to recently be approached to review the digital scrapbooking program My Memories Suite Version 2. I've never done digital scrapbooking, but always been very interested in it. My Memories Suite made it so easy!
The program can be downloaded from the My Memories site, so within minutes you can be digitally scrapbooking. Not only is the download quick & easy, making scrapbooking pages is quick and easy too! I thought it would be a little tricky to get started and that maybe I should find some online tutorials to look at before I began, but it wasn't difficult at all.
There are several different options for how to begin. You can use a Designer Template, where you only need to drop in some pictures and your scrapbook is done! This reminded me a lot of the printed books you can make through photo sites (I've made them through Walgreens) but this program is much quicker and easier to use. Plus the options are much nicer and it looks like a scrapbook instead of just a photo album.
Look how gorgeous this is! In literally seconds you can have an album that looks like this:
The other option you can use is to design your own layout. If you choose this option, you can choose from dozens of picture layouts to begin with, or you can choose a blank page and make your own. Even if you choose one of their picture layouts, you can still add or delete pictures. But with this method you choose and add all of your own backgrounds and embellishments.
Here are some examples of pages I made using the Design Your Own Layout option.
My Memories Suite includes a ton of free embellishments including all of your favorites- ribbons, buttons, brads, flowers, flourishes, stitching, bows, and even some novelty items. Some beautiful titles are included as well (like the "That Holiday Spirit" title I used above). There are also designer embellishments included for baby, family, holiday, seasonal, vintage, love, and other common scrapbooking themes. All of this comes FREE with the program. You could literally make thousands of pages without running out of embellishment options. As well as embellishments there is also a shapes section where you can add basic shapes such as circles, triangles, etc. as well as scalloped versions. When you insert a shape you can choose a color for it as well (and match it to your photos) or you can select a patterned paper from another huge set of patterns.
One of the things I really like about all of the embellishments and paper choices is that they have themed colors. There are probably about 50 different named colors (such as Honeydew, Bubble Gum, or French Vanilla) that you can choose from. This makes it easy to select matching embellishments to add to your page. A downside to the embellishments is that you cannot change their colors like you can with all of the other page elements. Maybe this will be possible in a future edition. But there are so many colors available that you're sure to find something to complement any layout.
So, are you interested in this amazing program? Well, I have GREAT news- you can get it FREE!! That's right! My Memories Suite is giving away this program for FREE to one of Binge Crafter's readers! So how can you win?
1. Be a Binge Crafter follower.
2. Go to My Memories site and check out their site.
3. Leave a comment telling me which is your favorite digital paper pack.
4. Come back later in the week for more information on My Memories Suite and chances to win.
The winner will be announced on Wednesday, October 26.
Just can't wait for the giveaway? Well, I have more good news! If you go to the My Memories site and download the program today, you can get $10 off using the code STMMMS84973 AND $10 to use in the My Memories store to download your favorite paper packs. Since the program is only $39.97, you're getting a fantastic deal.
I'm so excited that for my first product review I found a product that I really love. I've been obsessed with playing with this program since I downloaded it. I haven't been on pinterest in ages. ;)
Keep tuning in this week and check out some more of the great features of this program. I'll be sharing videos, projects, tips & tricks and each day you'll get a chance to win!
Disclosure: My Memories gave me a copy of the program to review, but all opinions are mine.

During an IFR air taxi flight, the airline transport certificated pilot was landing a twin-engine turboprop airplane at a remote arctic airport. The visibility minimum for the GPS approach was 1 mile. En route to the airport, the automated weather observation system (AWOS) was reporting a visibility of 1.5 miles. The pilot began the global positioning system (GPS) approach to runway 06. Two miles from the runway, the pilot saw the runway and decided to circle to land on runway 24. While turning base for runway 24, the pilot lost sight of the runway and discontinued the landing approach. The pilot was cleared for another GPS approach to runway 06. At 1.5 miles from the runway, the pilot saw the runway and continued the landing approach. About 20 feet agl, the pilot experienced flat light conditions that limited his view of the runway so that he could only distinguish the runway lights as his landing reference. The airplane touched down about 1,700 feet beyond the approach end of runway 06. The airplane encountered about 2 feet of snow on the runway, pulled to the right, and came to a stop about 3,000 feet beyond the approach end. The airplane received damage to the right engine propeller, the fuselage belly cargo pod, the right main landing gear door, and the elevator trim tab. At the time of the accident (1515), the visibility was reported as 2.5 statute miles. The visibility at 1455 was 1 statute mile. The FAA Facility Directory for the airport states, in part: "Airport remarks - Attended 0600 to 2400. Runway not monitored. Recommend visual inspection prior to landing." The airport manager reported that the accident airplane arrived during near zero visibility conditions. The runway had been cleared the previous day, but had not been cleared on the day of the accident because of drifting snow and near zero visibility. FAR 91.103 Preflight Action, states, in part: "Each pilot in command shall, before beginning a flight, become familiar with all available information concerning the flight." FAR 135.229 Airport Requirements, states, in part: "(a) No certificate holder may use any airport unless it is adequate for the proposed operation, considering such items as size, surface, obstructions, and lighting."
The National Transportation Safety Board determines the probable cause(s) of this accident to be:

The operator of the world's largest social network, Facebook Inc. (NASDAQ:FB) come with a new feature through which it will allow users pay to endorse friends' posts on the website by way of it seeks new sources of revenue.
The firm declared in an e-mailed statement on yesterday that the tool enlarges on a service introduced previous year that allows users pay to promote their personal posts. The new service will charge to user around $7 in the U.S., though prices may differ.
Whereas, slow profitability growth and drooping shares are pressurizing Facebook (FB) to discovery new ways to make more revenue from its 1.1B members. In the previous year, the firm has declared mobile-advertising, very good tools for marketers on desktops plus a feature for users to send friends gifts through the site.
The company stated that if friend of a user is running a grueling for charity and has displayed that information publicly, user could help that friend by promoting their post to all of their friends.

Packers reciever Donald Driver announces his retirement
On Thursday's Mike and Mike in the Morning, fan favorite and long-time Green Bay Packers receiver Donald Driver announced that he is going to retire after 14 years in the league.
The 37-year-old Driver attended Alcorn State and was selected by the Packers in the seventh round of the 1999 NFL draft. He finishes his career as the franchises' all-time leader in receptions and yards with 743 and 10,137, respectively.
Brett Farve is the only player to play more games in a Packers uniform than Driver, who played in 205.
His goal was to play until he was 40 but he took a pay cut to play for Green Bay in the last season of his contract and saw a very limited role in the offense during the season,
ESPN is reporting.
Driver will make a formal announcement of his retirement next week during a ceremony on Wednesday with Packers President/CEO Murphy, General Manager Ted Thompson and Coach Mike McCarthy all expected to attend and speak, according to PackersNews.com.

Appeals court in NY strikes down Defense of Marriage Act
A federal appeals court in New York became the second in the nation today to strike down the Defense of Marriage Act, ruling that denying federal benefits to married same-sex couples is unconstitutional. CNN reports:
The divisive act, which was passed in 1996, bars federal recognition of same-sex marriages and says states cannot be forced to recognize such marriages from other states.
The 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals determined that the federal law violates the Constitution's equal protection clause, ruling in favor of a widow named Edith Windsor, an 83-year-old lesbian who sued the federal government for charging her more than $363,000 in estate taxes after being denied the benefit of spousal deductions.
The case centered on the money Windsor wanted back but questioned whether the federal government could continue to ignore New York's recognition of her marriage and financially penalize her as a result.
"Homosexuals are not in a position to adequately protect themselves from the discriminatory wishes of the majoritarian public," wrote Dennis Jacobs, a conservative judge in New York.
A federal appeals court in Boston made a similar ruling in May, but the moves are considered largely symbolic as the issue is expected to be eventually decided by the U.S. Supreme Court.
Read CNN story here. Read full text of the ruling here.
The 2-1 decision had one Clinton appointee against, one for, and George W. Bush appointee for.
"Homosexuals have suffered a history of discrimination," Chief Judge Dennis Jacobs said for a 2-1 majority. And while gays have been winning political victories, he said, they are still subject to many discriminatory laws. Jacobs said courts should view all laws that discriminate based on sexual orientation with the same skepticism accorded to laws that discriminate based on gender.
Jacobs, who has a generally conservative reputation, was appointed to the court by former President George H.W. Bush. He was joined by Judge Christopher Droney, an appointee of President Clinton. In dissent, Judge Chester Straub, another Clinton appointee, said judges should not change the traditional definition of marriage.

He's was so bright and cheerful, always..
He's a Boston Terrier- known for having Seizures from brain swelling or poison.
I raised him from the moment he was born- when his eyes opened, the first person he saw was me ;;
I love him dearly, I couldn't imagine a day without him, but today is the first day.
Last night he had a seizure in the backyard- it was dark, my dad and mom were too scared, I was crying so bad, I didn't want him to die so I ran out and grabbed him- he was kicking and spazzing which made me cry- just thinking about how horrible it is, but I know a seizure is when you go to sleep and your body does weird things, so I know Xander doesn't feel anything, I know he's safe. I pet him, and kissed him, but he still wouldn't wake up.. I comforted him..
I put him in a kennel and my grandpa and my dad drove him to the Vetrinary ER. I was sobbing at this point- We have been sitting in the waiting room from 6pm to 11pm. Almost midnight, we finally got to leave- before we left, I got to go back and say goodnight to him, hoping not for the last time. I pet him and kissed him. The last words I said were
I love you.
At about 2:45am November 12th, 2012, 3 hours after I left the vet, he had a horrible seizure- the vetrinairians tried to save him, but he suddenly stopped moving and his eyes closed.
They called my mom at 3am, and told her.
Then I woke up at 4-5am. My mom told me, I was devastated- he's my best friend, all I ever had- but now he's gone. And I will never be the same again.
I love you Xander- Stay Strong.

Trust and the business of deregulating business
Our politicians talk all the time about gaining our trust. Ed Miliband, in his speech to Labour Conference today, said the following:
The Labour Party lost trust on the economy.
And under my leadership, we will regain that trust.
I am determined to prove to you that the next Labour Government will only spend what it can afford.
That we will live within our means.
That we will manage your money properly.
As someone who believes that government can make a difference, I have a special responsibility to show you that every pound that is spent, is spent wisely.
Now maybe politicians like Mr Miliband say these things because they are perceptive and accurate in their understanding of the reality out there. On the other hand, the more cynical amongst you will argue that they say precisely what we need to hear – precisely what politicians generally don't allow us to do. That is to say, they claim to aim to gain our trust and confidence because they know – exactly – they are not worthy of either.
Another part of Miliband's speech today, though, is pertinent to the case in question – that of trust:
Take Fred Goodwin, who ran the Royal Bank of Scotland.
He was at the heart of the banking crisis.
Compare him to Sir John Rose, former Chief Executive of Rolls Royce, a great British business leader.
Creating wealth and keeping jobs in this country.
He is the true face of British business.
The vast majority of our businesses that have the right values and do the right thing.
Rooted in their communities.
Committed to their workforce.
And creating real, lasting value.
But at the time of the financial crisis, Fred Goodwin was paid over three times more than Sir John Rose.
I tell you something, Fred Goodwin shouldn't have got that salary.
And I tell you something else:
We shouldn't have given Sir Fred Goodwin that knighthood either.
Which is why this question occurs to me: if business wants government to deregulate its activities, and politicians understand – even if emptily – that they are obliged to gain our trust, why don't businesspeople also feel just as obliged to convince us of their goodwill?
Why don't businesspeople also feel just as obliged to "do the right thing" – to do "something for something"?
Why do businesspeople – as voters – expect their governors to do what they promise but reserve a completely different set of standards for their own pecuniary behaviours?
Why, indeed, in this Big Society environment, can't we extend the concept of the public interest and apply it to those who work in the private sector?

Sage Grouse Strut Again
It's that time of year again when those who venture out into the sagebrush flats may very likely witness the mating ritual of the sage grouse as the males gather on their leks – or naturally raised areas where they can be seen better by the females – make their strange call and strut around showing off their plumage. The grouse usually have a favorite spot to which they return at dawn around this time of year, searching for a mate. Grand Teton National Park will again offer ranger-led walks into prime viewing areas at the end of April, but until then, the adventurous may wish to stealthily venture into nearby areas to witness the event – being careful not to disturb the birds.

Job market improves in Hyderabad, so does real estateAug 23, 2013, 03:39PM IST
Featured Today
Lately, there has been a lot of speculation regarding the performance of the real estate market in Hyderabad, in the light of the recent events relating to Telangana. While some are positive about its impact, some are still apprehensive and are keeping themselves away from riding on this unpredictable investment option. However, the improvement in the job market of the city is keeping the realty market going strong in this period of uncertainty. As per the data with TimesJobs.com, the demand for talent grew by 14, 10 and 31 per cent in March, April and June 2013, respectively.
With the enhancement in the jobs market, there has been a significant rise in demand for residential spaces as well. Bangla Surendra of Suha Properties says, "There has been a considerable rise in the residential population in areas such as Gachibowli, Hitech City, Madhapur and Begumpet. The foremost reason is that many new companies, especially IT/ITeS, have been entering the markets and there is a flush of employees relocating to Hyderabad."
Reiterating, Srinivas Reddy, Resident Director, SMR Builders Pvt Ltd, says, "Generally, Bangalore was considered to be the place for IT/ITeS industries. While Hyderabad lagged behind, the government has been very supportive in promoting IT/ ITeS in the city. With facilities such as eased land allocations and subsidies for industrial set-ups, many companies have ventured in and many more are yet to come."
Since Gachibowli and Hitech City are the financial districts of Hyderabad, they have witnessed maximum growth in terms of demand for residential properties. According to the data with MagicBricks.com, the property values in Gachibowli have gone up by almost 15 per cent in the Apr-Jun 2013 quarter and have reached an average of Rs 3,500-4,000 per sq ft.
In Hitech City, the values have risen by almost 5 per cent and the properties are available within Rs 4,000- 4,200 per sq ft. Few other areas which are most impacted by the enhanced job market in Gachibowli and Hitech City include Manikonda, Kukatpally Housing Board (KPHB) Colony and Miyapur, where property values rose by 4-7 per cent in the Apr-Jun 2013 quarter.
Thus, looking at the ongoing trend, the proportionate relationship of the jobs and the real estate market is pretty evident.

One Small Voice. A Lot of Big Ideas. Let Freedom Ring!
From Freedom Watch with Judge Napolitano, May 20, 2001: "Radical change is immediatly noticeable, not only when it is radical but when it is disruptive. But if it happens slowly, if it happens in steps, if it happens by degrees, eventualy the radical change will have happened and we won't have noticed it al all. America was founded on the belief that our rights come from God and they are inalienable. But in reality our liberties have been on decline almost since the inception of this country."
Our freedoms are under attack almost daily. Here's some frightening facts you'll find on this video:
I am flabberghasted with the Supreme Court's action, the Indiana State Supreme Court's action and the audacity of the FBI and the local police. I thought our courts, elected officials and civil servents were supposed to uphold our constitutional rights.
Speak out loudly!
Thanks for this. The Judge nailed it. I especially liked his Glenn Beck analogy with The Unsuspecting Frog. When I was a kid I heard a lot of The Mills Brothers courtesy of my dad. One of their songs was, 'You Never Miss The Water Till The Well Runs Dry'. It seems like our Constitutional Well is running dry.
apparently they are trashing all our amendments and rights..!!! Have a blessed Sunday despite it all !
The US Supreme Court told police this week that they can break down the door of your home if they smell smoke of what they think is marajuna.
In Montgomery County, Maryland, they don't even have to smell it. All it takes is some telling officials there that there are people smoking marijuana at some address and they will show up asking to look around.
The Indiana Supreme Court told the police in Indiana that they could enter a home even without the evidence of a crime.
This I read about last week and twittered to some people who didn't respond or report about, I should have sent it to you. I thought it was way out of control. Judges like these need to go.
For crime investigations, the FBI & local police are doing "Sneak & Peek" warrants where they break into someone's home, take something and the person won't find out about it for months.
This is ridiculous. I urge everyone to set there screen saver to be their webcam. That way anyone that enters your home sees themselves on your computer. You don't actually have to save the images (or maybe you can't – depends on your cam and software), but it will make officials think if they know everybody is watching their personal domains.
hope alls well~!

President Barack Obama leads Republican challenger Mitt Romney by 11 percentage points among registered voters in Pennsylvania, according to the latest Franklin & Marshall College Poll.
Pioneering computer scientist Jaron Lanier told an audience at the Franklin & Marshall College Common Hour Sept. 20 that the nation has progressively relied on information produced by computers—to its detriment.
Environmentalist Bill McKibben described how he and seven college students began an international movement to change the world's understanding of global warming during a Common Hour talk at the Franklin & Marshall College Sept. 13.
William McHale, a law enforcement veteran who served with the Pennsylvania State Police for nearly three decades, joined Franklin & Marshall College Monday, Sept. 10, as the new director of public safety.
A Hackman Scholarship offers F&M student Jack Madden '14 a chance to make a rare discovery—160,000 light years from Earth.
On a cloudless Tuesday morning similar to Sept. 11, 2001, members of the F&M community gather to remember the victims of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.
The "war" over health care is a century-old, uniquely American conflict that continues to rage this election season following the passage of "Obamacare," health care expert Paul Starr told a Franklin & Marshall College audience.
F&M unveils the Office of Student & Post-Graduate Development to help students and alumni explore potential career pathways and prepare them to compete for opportunities they seek.
Before most of their classmates began packing for college, 66 members of Franklin & Marshall's Class of 2016 arrived on campus Aug. 19 to continue an F&M tradition—and serve the Lancaster community.
In a video capturing some of the highlights from Convocation, first-year students speak about their formal introduction to life at Franklin & Marshall.

Bath summer signing Dave Attwood will make his debut for the club when they host Saracens on Saturday.
The former Gloucester and England man comes into the second-row to partner Ryan Caldwell with Will Spencer slotting into the reserves.
Having got their Aviva Premiership campaign off to a winning start with victory over Newcastle last week, forwards coach Martin Haag is keen to maintain the momentum.
"We're preparing for Saracens this week in the same way that we prepared for Newcastle last week, but we know it's going to be a sterner test. They are the present champions and have competed brilliantly with Leicester over the last two years. It's a big test for us and one we are looking forward to," said Haag.
"It's our first game in front of our home crowd. I expect the crowd to be in good voice and confident, and we'll be the same. We've got a chance to play one of the teams that turned us over at home last season and we need to make sure we do a job and come away with a win."
Saracens Director of Rugby Mark McCall has the luxury of fielding an unchanged starting XV for the trip to the Recreation Ground.
The only changes to the Sarries squad come on the replacements bench where prop Mako Vunipola slots in for the injured Petrus du Plessis (shoulder). Should either Vunipola or winger Joe Maddock get a run out off the bench, they will be make their debut for the club.
Form: Bath have gained six successive victories in Aviva Premiership since their 9-20 reversal at Saracens on 3 April. Bath's only defeat in their last eight games at the Rec in all competitions was 6-37 to Leicester on 26 March. Saracens were defeated 20-15 by London Wasps at Twickenham on Saturday but have not lost back to back Aviva Premiership encounters in the same season since 2009/10. Sarries have won their last five away matches in the competition and another victory will equal their own club record in this category, set in 1997/98. Bath's only win in their last five encounters with Saracens in all competitions was a 16-14 in the Premiership at Vicarage Road on 28 February 2010.

Cat in Dahlgren area tests positive for rabies
A cat that attacked another cat and was chasing after a man, who struck and killed it, has tested positive for rabies, according to King George Animal Control.
The incident happened Saturday in a townhouse area on Creek Lane, near Machodoc Creek and off Dahlgren Road, said Animal Control Officer Kevin Eller.
Officers have set a trap in the area to catch the cat attacked in the fight. That cat hasn't been seen since Saturday, Eller said.
Yesterday afternoon, residents were notified through the King George Alert system and told to be on the lookout for any animals, wild or domestic, that appear sick or aggressive. Residents shouldn't attempt to make contact with the animals, the alert warned.
"There's no reason for people to freak out or anything," Eller said. "This is just a precaution."
A resident of the area, who was bitten by the cat on Friday, is getting rabies shots through the King George Health Department.
Eller said the cat probably got rabies from a wild animal, because the area where the incident is occurred is marshy. He said it was the first rabies case in the county this year.
