I had anticipated taking a larger look at all the announcing from the day after New Year's Day... until the Fiesta Bowl last night. That was when Matt Millen had a largely exclusive broadcast window for the nation to revel in his football knowledge, weird logic, mixed up cliches, and overall ineptitude as an announcer. As I wrote on Twitter last night, it was an epic performance in the annals of AA - on par with what Vince Young did to USC in the National Championship Game. Before your tweets about Matt Millen, here are just some of the announcing gems he laid on the nation last night. Confucius would be proud...
"He bores you with completions, he bores you with efficiency," on Andrew Luck.
"You can't make a small mistake, like falling down... which is a big mistake."
Calling Jesse Palmer - "Jesse the Body."
"Sometimes you have to lose one for the Gipper."
"They'll both do well at the next level. BRANDON WEEDEN IS 28 YEARS OLD!"
"It's not about the decision making (of Luck), it's the decision making under pressure."
"He's hungry. You feed him."
"It's strength vs weakness on both sides, but it's the weakness who is stronger.. is the team that will prevail"
"When he gets inside of a guy and bends his hips, he's pretty good"
"That was helmet to helmet... I like it."
That's a complete list of Pammies quotes all by himself! Liking helmet to helmet hits? Being bored by Andrew Luck's performance? Insulting the legacy of Jesse "The Body" Ventura?!?! What was ESPN thinking giving Matt Millen the best bowl matchup outside of the national championship game on the night of January 2nd? Stanford v Oklahoma State will certainly be memorable for being a dramatic classic, but it's also memorable for us to remember what college football fans think of ESPN's #2 analyst.
Is it too late for Millen to enter the Texas Senate race too? As always, these are Real Tweets from Real People...
tulok @awfulannouncing Honestly would've preferred Craig James doing the game over Matt Millen.
coolgato13@awfulannouncing Guys Matt Millen belongs on the Mount Rushmore of Awful Announcing, don`t you think?
bflo360 Why couldn't Craig James make Matt Millen his campaign chief? @awfulannouncing
the_real_cwurst @awfulannouncing Can we make every play in OT a field goal, so that Millen has to do the math out loud?
CreetIdle @awfulannouncing Yikes. How awful was that listening to Millen do math on air?
Eagan3112 My God Matt Millen is terrible. @awfulannouncing
trentschlom My mom is even bashing Millen. This is a @awfulannouncing hall of fame performance. Instant classic.
hayner78 @awfulannouncing Every time I'm typing a dumb Millen quote, he says something new. Impossible to keep up.
rsharrow @awfulannouncing if you do a "Matt Millen" search, it really is mesmerizing to see the overwhelming amount of comments
SamValley @awfulannouncing Matt Millen is to broadcasting as he was as a pro football GM.
tonoxtono @awfulannouncing an empty Tostitos bag would be a upgrade over Matt Millen
boilerbill96 @awfulannouncing as a Colts fan, I am now worried that Millen thinks Luck is good
DeanMWilliams @awfulannouncing If Millen suggests drafting Blackmon, should Blackmon just announce his retirement?
spokanecmo @awfulannouncing Matt Millen just dropped 'humdinger' 1965 wants its catch phrase back.
TweetaSkalina @awfulannouncing the only thing more boring to Matt Millen than Andrew Luck is drafting useful NFL players. More fun to play w/ 11 wideouts
RealJEllis @awfulannouncing Millen was so bad he had me yearning for a broadcast featuring the 2011 versions of John Madden and Pat Summerall
OStateBuckeye @awfulannouncing I now know to exercise caution around towels, because they "can take an eye out"
dthomas2003 @awfulannouncing When he said sometimes you lose one for the gipper my first thought is thanks for that stupid advice which makes no sense
rich_roberts @awfulannouncing I learned last night that Justin Blackmon is a big time player. And big time players make big time plays #MattMillen
edsbs I can't hear the announcers in this bar, so if Matt Millen says something important, fill your bathtubs because the Great War has begun.
kslshep I thought Matt Millen's best analysis tonight was when he told Sean McDonough to answer his phone.
PapaBradstein In honor of Matt Millen, I'm going to spend the day tomorrow announcing what's already obvious to everyone around me. #fiestabowl

Monkey has always loved his arts and craft activities, and now he is that little bit older, his abilities and what he can achieve (with some help) have come on leaps and bounds. There are so many activities I want to try with him and so many things I want to make with him, but with a newborn who has colic, reflux and a possible allergy, my hands are sadly tied a bit more than I would like them to be and I am struggling to balance both of their needs. Thankfully Daddy loves doing things with Monkey and this weekend he stepped in to have a go at some Monkey & Daddy crafting :).
Educational TV for Toddlers
Guidelines recommend that children under 2 watch no TV at all and toddlers watch no more than 2 hours of TV a day, but how realistic is this really? I personally don't think there is anything wrong with a bit of telly. I'm not about to dump Monkey in front of the TV all day every day, and to be honest he is so full of energy he would get bored with it anyway. We get out and about a lot, read books, do crafts and all sorts of things, but there are times of the day when the TV is very useful as it keeps him entertained while I get on with some other things. This is especially true since Little Miss arrived!
Am I wrong though? Am I neglecting my child or being a bad mum because he watches a few hours of TV spread throughout the day? In an article I read a while ago, Dr Trina Hinckley said TV viewing can be 'harmful to children's physical and mental health' speaking specifically about children under 4. She said that although parents think that TV programmes help children with learning language etc, that this is not true according to research.

A wintery family walk
Friday night was a particularly rough night with Little Miss so on Saturday morning both Daddy and I were feeling shattered. But the thing is that when you also have a toddler to look after, life must go on. We still had to be up at a normal time and find ways to entertain Monkey.
So after a bit of back and forth about what we should do, we decided to wrap up and go for a little walk to deliver some thank you cards locally to some of the people who had generously given gifts on the birth of Little Miss.
Little Miss wasn't keen on the idea of being in her buggy so after a false start Daddy popped her in the carrier and we headed out. It was seriously cold and wet and misty but we had a lovely walk and it did us the power of good. That's the thing about getting out of the house sometimes, just a change of scene and some fresh air can really improve your mood. Especially when you have a toddler who is thrilled to be out for a walk and who takes pleasure in the simplest of things.

Little Miss at 4 weeks old
Little Miss is 4 weeks old today. The last 4 weeks seem to have both flown by and lasted forever, isn't that just the way of it with newborn babies?
Colic has well and truly taken over too unfortunately. After spending a lot of time fretting about whether there was anything I could do to help or prevent the colic, at the weekend we reached a level of acceptance I think. We have to accept that our evenings and a lot of night times are spent trying to soothe a baby in pain. Horrible as it is, it is only for the next couple of months and then we know it gets better. We have been through it once with Monkey and we can get through it again.
Having said that, the last few days have been really tough. She is definitely worse when I have eaten dairy as on Monday night we had a really cheesy dinner. I didn't even think about it as it was a meal made and frozen before she was born but it is made largely from milk and cheese. And well since then she has been really rough. That night was awful and Tuesday morning she did a weird jelly poo (sorry if TMI) and spent lot of the day in quite a lot of pain and therefore very unhappy.
Making a Crown & Magic Wand
Friends and family have been very generous since Little Miss's arrival and she has been given some very lovely presents. One of which was this cute little fairy princess Peppa Pig toy. Monkey helped me open the parcel and he took quite a shine to it himself and particularly liked her crown and magic wand, so I decided maybe we could make a crown and magic wand for Monkey to wear!
Monkey's Christmas List – 2 1/2 yrs old
This year is flying by and it is really not long til Christmas now, eek! Have you started buying presents yet? I have been quite organised and bought a lot of presents already. In January we started putting a bit of money away every month to budget for it, and it has been lovely this year to have a pot ready to use. No paying it off in January, woohoo!
Anyway I digress, Monkey is really excited about Christmas this year. He is loving all of the decorations in the shops and I know we are going to have so much fun with him! So I am really excited to see his excitement on Christmas day and while I am sure he will be happy with pretty much anything he gets, I think we have come up with some lovely idea for him. So if you are stuck for ideas of what to get a toddler in your life, here are some of the things on Monkey's Christmas List this year!
Siblings, November
I have seen the Siblings linky for a while and looked forward to being able to join in. It seems like a lovely way to chart the relationships (and ups and downs) between siblings.
I am a little late to the party (and nearly didn't join in this month at all) as I didn't really have any new photos of Monkey and Little Miss together since coming home from hospital. He basically stays well away from her a lot of the time!

Am I causing my baby's Colic?
Colic. Oh isn't it fun? Watching your baby scream in pain while trying desperately to soothe them and calm them down. Depending on where you read it, approx 20-30% of babies have Colic. Yet both of my babies seem to be affected by it. I wrote a post a while back called Coping with Colic, and that is all well and good but when you're going through it you can't help but wonder if it is somehow your fault. Is there anything you can do to stop it? Or at least I do anyway.

Learning to draw
I mentioned in last week's mini milestones post that Monkey had drawn a smily face for the first time and was really enjoying drawing at the moment.
This has continued and after painting smily faces on leaves he took this a step further. Continue reading
Making the most of the baby days
Little Miss is quite possibly, in fact, most probably the last baby we will have. I will never say never and I am sure many people will say that now is not the time to make the decision about having more children, but I want to be realistic about it. Both hubs and I are the middle of 3 children, so we both carry a certain nostalgia with us about our families, and we are both very close to all of our brothers and couldn't imagine our families any other way. So I guess it is inevitable that we have been quite undecided about the number of children we would have.

OSU's 77-3 rout gives glimpse into future
CORVALLIS – There was no mystery in this one, a 77-3 beatdown tends to lend little in the intrigue…
|Four Beavs make Pac-12 first team
FOUR BEAVERS, seniors Jordan Jenkins, Jordan Poyer and Markus Wheaton, and sophomore Scott Crichton, have been named to the Pac-12 Conference First Team.
Senior Andrew Seumalo, juniors Grant Enger and Rashaad Reynolds, sophomores Brandin Cooks and Trevor Romaine, and freshman Isaac Seumalo earned Honorable Mention.
The Beavers' four First Team honorees ranks third in the Pac-12 and is the most for OSU since six individuals were on the top squad since 2009, when it was still the Pac-10 conference. The teams were selected by a vote of the 12 head coaches.
CB Jordan Poyer is a candidate for numerous All-America teams and was recently selected a semifinalist for the Jim Thorpe Award (top defensive back) and the Bednarik Award (top defensive player). Poyer has six interceptions this season, tied for the third-best mark in the country; and for his career ranks tied for sixth at OSU with 12. He is the first Beaver defensive back on the First Team since Sabby Piscitelli in 2006 and the first cornerback since Dennis Weathersby in 2002.
WR Markus Wheaton is third on OSU's career list for receiving yards with 2,834, fourth for career receptions with 212 and tied for sixth for career touchdowns receiving with 15. He is second in the Pac-12 this year for receptions with 76. Wheaton is the first Beaver wide receiver to earn First Team honors since James Rodgers in 2009.
DE Scott Crichton is a semifinalist for the Ted Hendricks Award (top down lineman) and an ESPN.com Midseason All-America selection. Crichton has 40 tackles for the season, including 16 for loss and nine sacks. Crichton was an Honorable Mention selection last season as a redshirt-freshman. He is the first defensive lineman to be selected First Team since Stephen Paea in 2009.
RB Jordan Jenkins earned the honor for his play on special teams. He leads the team in special teams tackles with eight and is a member of the two coverage and kickoff teams. The special teams honor for the Conference is the second for a Beaver as Suaesi Tuimaunei was picked in 2009.
Seumalo is a candidate for the Burlsworth Trophy (top former walkon) and has posted 31 tackles as a defensive lineman. Enger has 19 starts and has played right guard this season. Reynolds is among the national leaders for passes defended and co-leads the team for tackles with 70. Cooks is a semifinalist for the Biletnikoff Award (nation's top WR) and is sixth for single season yards at OSU with 1,113. Romaine has made 14 of 16 field goals and his 87.5 percentage is the best in the Pac-12. Isaac Seumalo is one of only three true freshmen starting centers in the nation.
The Beavers (8-3, 6-3 in Pac-12) rank No. 15 in the Bowl Championship Series (BCS) and conclude the regular season at home this Saturday at 11:30 a.m. vs. Nicholls State in a rescheduled game from Sept. 1. Tickets are available by contacting OSU at 1-800-GO-BEAVS between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. weekdays or online at BeaverTickets.com. The game will air live on the Pac-12 Networks.

She'll be the judge of that
The San Luis Obispo County Superior Courthouse has a new judge, and her name is Rita.
On Dec. 27, California Gov. Jerry Brown's office announced the appointment of Rita C. Federman to the vacant local judgeship seat left after the retirement of Hon. Judge Teresa Estrada-Mullany.

She currently serves on the board of directors for the San Luis Obispo Legal Alternatives Corporation.
The Robing Room, a user-generated website that rates judges based on temperament and other factors, did not have any rating for Federman as of press time.
According to SLO Superior Court Executive Secretary Jan Michael, Federman was officially sworn in on Dec. 28.

Neil Gaudreau
Head of the Cyber Security BranchInformation Assurance DivisionHeadquarters, Marine Corps Navy Department
An IT test bed will never be exactly the same as reality, but to be of any use, it better be close. So when the Marine Corps was designated the executive agent for the Defense Department Information Assurance Range, officials chose Neil Gaudreau to get it up and running.
Gaudreau led a team of contractors and DOD personnel and worked with a broader group to collect the information needed for the program. And despite the daunting nature of the task, not only did he deliver the program's initial operating capability on time, he got it done early.
His efforts have provided DOD and Marine Corps personnel with an operationally realistic environment in which to train, test and exercise cyber-specific skills and capabilities without exposing the organizations' networks to risk.

6 Claims, 6 Drawing Figures PATENTED DEC 4 I975 SHEET 2 OF 2 GERMICIDAL TOILETRY CABINET FOR I DIFFERENT PERSONAL HYGIENE ITEMS- BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Germicidal cabinets for receiving and sterilizing tooth brushes and like items of personal hygiene are not completely novel. That is, it is known that a germicidal cabinet can be provided for sterilizing various items of use in personal hygiene. However, the cabinets heretofore known are commonly limited to receiving and supporting one type of item, such as a tooth brush, and they are not conveniently and appropriately arranged for receiving different items, such as tooth brushes, water picks, combs, and the like. Still further, the germicidal cabinets heretofore known do not act in a combined fashion for sterilizing the items inside the cabinet while at the same time deodorizing the air surrounding the cabinet and at the same time serving as a night light for constant illumination, all'while the cabinet is arranged for receiving and supporting a multiplicity of items for use in personal hygiene.
Accordingly, it is a general object of this invention to provide a cabinet which will overcome the limitations of the aforementioned cabinets of the prior art. Still.
further, it is an object of this invention to provide a germicidal toiletry cabinet which is specifically arranged to receive two or more different types of items for use in personal hygiene, such as a tooth brush and a tooth water pick.
A more specific object of this invention is to provide a germicidal cabinet which is specially arranged to receive tooth brushes and water picks, and which has openings in the cabinet for ventilating the cabinet for drying the items therein. Also, in accomplishing the object'of accommodating tooth brushes and tooth water picks, the cabinet is arranged with support members which make it ready and easy for the user to insert or remove the tooth brushes and the water picks.
Another object of this invention is to provide a germicidal cabinet which is easily manufactured in the provision of the rack for supporting tooth brushes or the like, and which is easily assembled and provides a sturdy structure. In accomplishing this object, a unitary piece extends through the upper portion of the bracket to provide a housing for the electrical parts, and the lower portion of the bent piece presents the rack for the tooth brushes and the like.
Another object is to provide a germical cabinet which is arranged in a manner to protect against electric shock and to provide secure and safe mounting for the electric parts, particularly the electric switch.
Other objects and advantages will become apparent upon reading the disclosure.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS FIG. 1 is a front perspective view of a preferred embodiment of this invention.
FIG. 2 is an enlarged sectional view taken on the line 22 of FIG. 1.
FIG. 3 is a front view of FIG. 2, and with the view showing a water pick in dotted lines.
-mit the drainage of any water.
FIG. 4 is an enlarged sectional view of a cabinet similar to that shown-in FIG. 1 but showing one arrangement for the interor structure of the cabinet, and with the view being sectional and taken along the line 4-4 of FIG. 5.,
FIG. 5 is a sectional view taken along the line 55 of FIG. 4.
FIG. 6 is a rear elevational view of a fragment of the cabinet shown in FIGS. 4 and 5.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT The cabinet includes a box-shaped housing 10 and a cover or door 11 which is suitably, pivotally, or swingably mounted on the housing 10 to open and close relative to the housing front opening designated 12. The housing 10-has a back or bottom wall 13, and it has two side walls 14 and 16, and the housing 10 also has a bot? tom wall 17 and atop wall 18. Further, the housing 10 has openings 19 on the walls described, and these openings permit the passage of light rays, and they also permit the ventilation of the cabinet and they further per- A germicidal lamp 21 is mounted in the cabinet 10 and is suitably electrically connected with a switch designated 22, and, an electric wire 23 is shown extending to the cabinet for supplying-electric power, in a suitable and well-known manner. The switch 22 is shown to have a plunger 24 which is moved by the opening and closing of the door 11 over the cabinet front opening 12. That is, the plunger 24 will abut the door 11 when the door is in the closed position. When the plunger 24 is depressed by the closed door, the switch 22 is then electrically closed and electric power is then being supplied to the lamp 21, for the sterilization of the interior of the cabinet, and sterilization of all items disposed within the cabinet.
A tooth brush rack is mounted in the cabinet, and fingers 26 are included inthe rack and are shown extending from the rear wall 13 to be supporting the tooth brushes 27 which are shown in dotted lines. Each tooth brush is supported ina position spaced-apart from the other tooth brushes, just as the fingers 26 are spaced apart in a common and well-known arrangement of rack having fingers 26 and spaces therebetween.
An important feature of this invention is the provision of a support member 28 which is fixedly mounted on the cabinet, and FIG. 1 shows the member 28 to be on the wall 16 adjacent the rack or fingers 26. The support member 281s shown to be in the form of a spring clip having a planar base piece 29 and having a continuously extending leg 31 which presents the spring action to the spring clip 28. The leg 31 has an extending end portion 32 which presents a space 33 relative to the base portion 29. With this arrangement, the user can readily insert and withdraw items of personal hygiene, such as the water pick 34 shown in dotted lines in FIG. 3. That is, water pick 34 can be inserted between the clip leg 31 and the clip base portion 29, and, in fact, a plurality of the picks 34 can be so inserted at any one time within the clip 28. The clip 28 is shown adjacent one of the cabinet openings 19, and thus the tooth water picks 34 can be readily dried, ventilated, as well as being sterilized, by the arrangement of the cabinet being described.
With the structure described, it will therefore be understood that a germicidal cabinet is provided, and, the
cabinet accommodates different items of personal hygiene, not only one type of item, such as a tooth brush. Also, the clip 28 is disposed in a position which spaces the water picks from the tooth brushes, and which permits the picks to be readily inserted or withdrawn without intricate maneuvering to avoid the tooth brushes, and, still further,'the picks can be withdrawn downwardly from the clip 28, without disturbing the other picks 34 which remain held in the clip 28, and this is by virtue of the spring action of the clip. Still further, the entire unit serves as a combined germicidal cabinet, room deodorizer, and night light.
It will also be understood that there is the arrange ment with the relationship between the rack 26 and the clip 28 such that the clip 28 is located closer to the front opening of the box 10, that is, it is closer to the closed door 11, relative to the rearward location of the rack 26 which is on the rear wall 13.Therefore, the tooth brush 27 immediately adjacent the clip 28 does not interfere with or block access to the clip 28, and the user can insert and withdrawn items supported in the clip 28 without moving the tooth brushes or without being hindered by their presence on the rack 26. Further, the drawings show that the lamp 21 is small and spherically shaped and is in the same cabinet space where the rack 26 and clip 28 are located. Thus the rays from the lamp 21 fall directly onto the brushes 27 and the items in clip 28. The clip 28, being located below the .level of the rack 26, avoids bumping the brushes 27 when the clip is used, and vice versa, and the rack 26 extends in its planar disposition of fingers 26 for the full width of the cabinet. Also, the clip 28 is located frontwardly of the rack 26, so the clip and the items therein are in the path of direct rays from the lamp 21.
FIGS. 4, and 6 show the arrangement of the interior of the cabinet in that it shows the back wall 13 and the top 18, and it details an upper piece 36 which is bent in the shape shown in FIG. 4 and which extends across the width of the cabinet, as the piece is seen in FIG. 1 adjacent the lmap 21. The piece 36 therefore has a front wall 37 anda horizontally extending intermediate portion 38 and it hasa lower rack 39 which presents the rack pieces 26 seen in FIG. 1. The portions 37 and 38, along with the cabinet top 18 and a part of the cabinet back 13 form a compartment designated 41, and this compartment contains the electrical parts of the cabinet. Thus, FIG. 4 shows the electric switch 42 disposed within the compartment 41, and the bulb 21 is also mounted within the compartment 41 and extends therefrom through an opening 43 in the floor portion 38.
Thus, the piece 36 is made from one piece (unitary) in bent form and it provides for the enclosing of the electrical parts and it also presents the rack 26. Further, the piece lower portion 39 is angulated as shown in FIG. 4 to present a trough 44 on which items can be supported, such as a thermometer, for the sterilizing: function. Also, the portion 39 has the upturned end in the rack 26, so the tooth brushes 27 can behung on the rack 26 in a secure manner for easy placement and removal relative to the rack 26.
The piece 36 and the cabinet itself can be secured together by spot welding or the like, and such welding is indicated at the location designated 46 which is adjacent the portion of the piece 36 intermediate the portions 38 and 39, and this is all that is required in the assembly and fastening of the two parts, and thus the cabinet is securely madein a sturdy construction and the compartment 41 is presented in the arrangement described.
A Z-shaped bracket 47 is disposed within the compartment 41 and it has the switch 42 mounted thereon, such as by the means of the rivets 48.-The bracket 47 is also shown to be attached to the piece 36 by means of the spot welding, such as that indicated at 54 in FIG. 5, and FIG. 6. Thus, the bracket 47 is readily and easily fastened in a secure manner for supporting theswitch 42 and for covering a cabinet mounting opening 49 in the cabinet back wall 13. This is, the bracket 47 has a branch 51 which extends along the side of the switch 42 and above and below the levelof the switch 42, as seen in FIGS. 4 and 6, and the branch 51 thus intervenes between the cabinet mounting opening 49 and the switch 42. In this manner, the cabinet can be mounted, say on a metal screw and by means of the key-hole shaped opening 49, but there is no danger of having the mounting screw contact the switch 42, because of the intervening protector 51. Further, one cannot insert a screwdriver or any other object into the hole 49 and touch the switch 42. Therefore, the Z- bracket 47 serves as a mounting bracket and also serves as a safety device. The switch 42 has conventional electric connectors 52 which are therefore shielded by the branch 51 from any objectbeing inserted through the opening 49, as mentioned.
With the arrangement described, a germicidal cabi net is provided in an arrangement which is easily manufactured but yet one which is sturdy in that the piece 36 serves as a structural piece and as an enclosure for the electrical parts, from the safety standpoint, and it also presents the rack 26. Thus, with the rack 26 shaped as described and particularly as seen in FIG. 4,
tooth brushes 27 can be supported on the rack 26 at the same time that thermometers, hair pins, razors, or like elongated items can be resting in the rack trough 44, and all items are directly exposed to the rays from the bulb 21. Also, the upper portion of the piece 36 encloses the upper end of the cabinet and presents the compartment 41, but, the cabinet has the upper side louvers 19 which extend through the cabinet side walls 14 and 16 adjacent the compartment 41. Therefore, the compartment 41 is open to outside air and the heat generated by the electric parts within the compartment 41 can be dissipated and circulated through the louvers 19. Thus, air can actually enter the lower louvers 19, be circulated through the cabinet and be exhausted through the upper louvers 19, all under the heat from the lamp 21, and such air is sterilized in the process. A lamp ballast is of course disposed within the compartment 41 for energizing the lamp 21, and the ballast generates heat which enhances the air flow mentioned, and, the air will also flow out the louvers 19 on the cabinet top 18. Thus the ambient air is sterilized and deodorized by the cabinet and the air flow generated by the lamp 21 and the ballast 53, as described. In the air flow pattern, the air can move upwardly through the lamp opening 43. Also, the bracket 47 forms a small compartment for the enclosure of the switch 42, and of course the switch is at the side of the cabinet, as shown at 24 in FIG. 1, for optimum positioning of the switch. Likewise, the mounting opening 49 is at the side of the cabinet, and thus the arrangement of the Z-bracket 47 for mounting the switch and for shielding it from access through the opening 49 is significant.
What is claimed is:
1. A germicidal cabinet for receiving ahd sterilizing various personal hygiene items including tooth brushes,
comprising a cabinet housing including a back wall and opposite side walls and a top wall and a bottom wall and having an open from opposite said back wall and defined by all the other said walls, a door hinged onto said housing for swinging movement on said housing for closing over said open front of said housing, a unitary piece attached to said cabinet and disposed therein and having a first portion extending through the upper portion of said cabinet from adjacent said top wall and along said open front in a location spaced from said back wall to form a compartment with said top wall and said back wall, said first portion of said unitary piece including a horizontally extending por-tion spanning the space to said back wall and closing off the base of said compartment and with said horizontally extending portion having an opening therein, and said unitary piece including a second portion extending along said rear wall and being attached thereto, and said unitary piece including a third portion terminating in an end extending away from said rear wall and across the central axis of said opening and into the center of said cabinet, a tooth brush rack included in said extending end of said third portion and being spaced from said horizontally extending portion and extending between said opposite side walls for the entire width of said cabinet for suspendingly supporting tooth brushes in said cabinet, an electric switch and an electric ballast disposed in said compartment, and a germicidal lamp electrically connected to said switch and extending into said compartment through said opening in said unitary piece horizontally extending portion and being positioned spaced above said rack and being removable through said opening for replacement of said lamp.
2. The germicidal cabinet as claimed in claim 1, wherein said opposite side walls and said top wall have louvers therein opening into said compartment for flow of air through said compartment and out of said cabinet.
3. The germicidal cabinet as claimcd in claim 1, including a bracket attached to said unitary piece and disposed within said compartment, and said switch being mounted on said bracket and disposed to be actuated by swinging movement of said door.
4. The germicidal cabinet as claimed in claim 3, wherein said cabinet has a hole in said rear wall adjacent each said opposite side wall for mounting said cabinet, and said bracket has a portion extending across a line extending from said switch to the nearer one of said holes, to shield against access to said switch through said hole.
5. The germicidal cabinet as claimed in claim 1, wherein said extending end of said third portion is bent upwardly and terminates with said rack being at the terminal end thereof, and the upward bend being located directly beneath said lamp and arranged to present a trough for the reception of items to be sterilized.
6'. The germicidal cabinet as claimed in claim 5, including a support member mounted on one of said opposite side walls at a location below the level of said rack and frontwardly of said rack and being spaced from said back wall, for supporting an item in the path of direct rays from said lamp.

Hullo, MAPH '14. Welcome to Chicago! We presume that most of you are here or about to be here by now, so we've created two Google maps that we hope you will find handy as you settle in. On one of these you will find information about on-campus points of interest like cafes, ATMs, and, significantly, Colloquium/Core event locations.

What to Do When You're Done
May 21st, 2013 § 0 comments § permalink
This is it—you're in the final stretch! Your thesis is due on Friday. To some of you I know that still sounds like a death sentence. You don't feel ready at all to give up working on this thing that has been such a huge part of your life for the past months. It isn't ready! This past weekend you thought of something that should really be an entire section of your thesis, but at this point you only have time to shoehorn it in the last few sentences, or just ignore it. You can think of about seventeen ways in which it could be so much better. Well guess what. I've said it before, I'll say it again, because my preceptor said it to me—when it comes to the thesis, done is better than good. Perfect is the enemy of the great. Or, as my mother would tell me, it is time to put your thesis in a lockbox and send it to Jesus. Take your pick, I have lots of folksy advice for you guys. » Read the rest of this entry «
Ways to Stay Sane (and Warm!) During Winter Quarter
January 24th, 2013 § 0 comments § permalink
Alright, so you've heard us all griping about how difficult and harrowing Winter Quarter is. And as we're sure you know, now that you're in the midst of it, it sure is. But before you start to feel like this, we wanted to intervene to let you know that there are plenty of things to do to manage Winter Quarter stress. And some ways in which, maybe, you might even learn to enjoy the UChicago quarter that is almost mythically scary.
1) Pace yourself. Plan ahead. Resign yourself to the fact that you won't be able to read everything for every one of your classes. Prioritize your workload so that things feel manageable. Try to settle on final paper topics by Week 5 so that you are not struggling to pick up the pieces at the last minute. You will really thank yourself by the time the quarter is winding down. Try to find interesting ways to put your classes into conversation with one another (or with your thesis). It will make your work feel more meaningful, creative and comprehensive – and it also might help you narrow down your reading lists when it comes to approaching final papers and projects. » Read the rest of this entry «
Some Thoughts on Managing Your Stress at Quarter's End (and in Coming Quarters, Such as the Winter Quarter, Which is a Particularly Onerous One if You Don't Have Good Stress Management Techniques)
December 10th, 2012 § 0 comments § permalink
MAPH Central has banded together herein to offer you some of our favorite stress management techniques! Heed them well, for they are marked with the psychic scar tissue of those who have endured the Coming Winter.
Get Out of Hyde Park (and off of Facebook) by Chrissy "McKnuckles" McKeon
I cannot stress enough how important this was to my sanity. I made a commitment to myself to venture out of this UChicago infused bubble at least once a week. And if I felt like I didn't have enough time, I did it anyway. I packed up my school bag and toted my laptop and school books around Wicker Park and Logan Square, settled into coffee shops (and yes, sometimes bars) to do my work. I just found it easier to work in places that were decidedly lacking in the brand of stress that on-campus study spaces were always teeming with. I found that commuting somewhere to do schoolwork actually made me more productive. When I was so far away from home, I was less likely to call it quits before I had gotten something substantial done. See that picture of my thesis draft cut into teeny tiny pieces? Yea, I did that at a little coffee shop called The Wormhole. In public. People must have thought I was nuts. I know it seems strange to say that I destressed by doing work, but finding a way to do productive work – a way that worked for my particular learning style – ensured that I was able to find time to do other things besides schoolwork. Leaving Hyde Park also meant that I made friends outside of MAPH – A.K.A. people who weren't always talking about class and work, even when we were at The Cove.
Speaking of people who are always talking about class and work, get off of Facebook, for the love of some-non-denominational-higher-being. As I have mentioned, this was important for me. Some people deal with stress by blabbing about it on the Internet, and for me, this was majorly anxiety-producing. My newsfeed became a constant source of stress, especially when people started posting about classes, papers and deadlines (or worse, bragging about the 20 pages of their thesis that they had written. On a Saturday night. Three months before our theses were due). So, I just deactivated my account for awhile. It was unbelievably liberating. You should try it sometime.
Do Something Crafty by Sarah "Ernesto" Smith
Near the end of the quarter when you are spending so much time in your head, you might consider doing something with your hands! I find knitting and crocheting to be especially soothing. The repetitive motion of the clicking needles helps clear my head when it gets too full of The Academy. You might also appreciate the physicalness of textile creation during a time when you are spending mammoth amounts of mental and emotional energy on a (at times terrifyingly insubstantial) electronic document. Creating something with your hands brings you closer to your labor – Marx approved – and also makes lovely, cheap holiday presents.
Read for Pleasure and Take a Walk by Bill "Bobaggins" Hutchison
You don't have time to read for pleasure, right? Or to take a walk? But I promise that if you set aside some nominal amount of time every day – ten minutes, say – for pleasure reading, you will be so much better for it. There are some crucial rules, however. Don't read something because it might also be useful for your class/thesis/school related thing. Don't engage in self-deception by saying, "But reading Zizek is pleasure reading for me!" We're all nerds, we wouldn't be here if we didn't love reading this stuff. But you and I both know what true pleasure reading is. It's snuggle-up-with-a-good-book reading. You know exactly what I mean.
And for the love of all things, go outside and move your body a little! I often need a reminder that my body is more than a transport system for my brain. A walk outside when your brain is overfilled with names, dates, notions, theories, and competing philosophies will do you good. Look! A happy squirrel! And over there, a crow dropping stones on undergraduates! Yes, it's cold. Yes, there will soon be snow. But as you see your breath puffing out before you and hear your feet crunch-crunch-crunch along the salted sidewalk, you will remember that you are a sensate, embodied being, and that sometimes that feels unbelievably good.
Five Things You Probably Don't Need to Know But Which Still Bear Mentioning
August 23rd, 2012 § 1 comment § permalink
While the temptation to walk around campus hunched over a book, a smartphone, or an existential crisis is strong, raise your eyes to the walls and parapets! History is chiseled into the walls at UChicago. Many chunks of stone have been transformed into gargoyles, thinkers and scholars of ages past, and a variety of adorable/creepy animals.
Summer Reading Some Are Reading
July 20th, 2012 § 0 comments § permalink
For the new mentors, transitioning from hundreds of pages a week of heavy academic writing to reading for pleasure was a strange sensation. It was a little like visiting a house you hadn't lived in since you were a wee child: disorienting, but with the unmistakable feel of home. At MAPH Central, we're into books in a big way, and since we know that you are too, we thought we'd share what we're reading this summer.
(If your interest is piqued by our recommendations, act now! Your days of reading for pleasure are approaching a nine-month hiatus. And if you're in town early, do not miss the Newberry Book Fair from July 26-29, billed as "Chicago's most popular used book binge.")
WHAT I'M READING NOW: Thomas Pynchon, Gravity's Rainbow
After several false-starts, the falseness of which having to do with much ambition attended by many distractions, I have finally determined to read this book I was supposed to have read a long time ago. The endeavor feels more important than it is, probably because the ostensibly intellectual motivations for reading huge books are in fact intimately bound up in my own vanity. But the book, so far, really is good.
NEXT ON THE LIST: Henry Green, Loving
According to the back of the book, Loving "brilliantly contrasts the lives of servants and masters in an Irish castle during World War II." The front of the book has a peacock on it. Apparently, the only extant photo of Henry Green (not his real name) is a portrait of the back of his head.
MY FAVORITE BOOKSTORE: Powell's Bookstore, 1501 E 57th St./2850 N Lincoln Ave.
Chicago's incarnation of Portland's finest. Not only is the 57th St. location close to campus, but the only crowds I ever encounter there are crowds of books. Perfect for for a relaxing browse.
WHAT I'M READING NOW: Haruki Murakami, 1Q84
I've had it on the shelf for a while, but after I saw Ian reading it and full of delight, I started it, too. A woman named Green Peas (Aomame) with odd ears. A lonely writer. An ugly old man. And, of course, cats. For those who enjoy a little reality-destabilization.
NEXT ON THE LIST: Doris Lessing, RE: Colonised Planet 5, Shikasta: Personal, psychological, historical documents relating to visit by Johor (George Sherban), Emissary (Grade 9) 87th of the Period of the Last Days
I'm so excited to start this one, the first in her Canopus in Argos: Archives series. It marks Lessing's sudden switch to science fiction, but her science fiction is unlike anything else. It's a wild, Sufism-and-Old-Testament-influenced diagnosis of humanity. Sadhappy reading. I blazed through the first 20 pages nearly holding my breath before I had to stop and go back to 1Q84.
MY FAVORITE BOOKSTORE: Selected Works, 410 S. Michigan Ave., 2nd Floor.
I have a pal who works in the Fine Arts building downtown. I went to meet him for lunch the other day. He works on the fourth floor. I climbed the stairs to the second floor, ready to keep heading up, when I noticed the old bookshelves by the stairwell. The shelves almost hid a doorway into a wee bookstore filled with highly curated volumes, including the weird sorts of tomes only found in shops like this. Plus there's a bookstore cat, Hodge, who is as beautiful as he is mercurial. (Special treat: the elevators are run by real live elevator operators.)
WHAT I'M READING NOW: Colum McCann, Let The Great World Spin
After a year of required reading, I'm trying to ease myself back into the habit of reading for pleasure by picking up a book I have already read and know I love. The book pivots around the motif of Phillipe Petit's shocking stunt: tightrope walking between the Twin Towers on an otherwise mundane morning in 1974. McCann weaves together a seamless and heartbreaking narrative about the lives of some not-so-ordinary witnesses of the event. As a New Yorker, it's a book that made me fall in love with my city all over again, offering a fresh perspective on a period of urban transition that I had always known about, but never really internalized. I'm about half-way through it right now and I'm just as entranced as I was the first time around.
NEXT ON THE LIST: John Williams, Stoner
Luckily, one of my best friends used to work at a publishing house in New York, so I am never bereft of book suggestions. Stoner follows the life of a late 19th Century man who heads to university to study agronomy, unwittingly falls in love with English literature and decides, instead, to pursue the scholarly life. If it were one hundred years later, I suspect this man might be in MAPH – I'm sure that we have plenty of agronomic defectors matriculating this year. According to my contemporary fiction guru, "Williams' luminous descriptions of a scholar's life and its rewards make this novel ideal for a return to academia." This suggestion brought to you with one caveat: "It's grim, but it's beautiful."
MY FAVORITE BOOKSTORE: Myopic Books, 1564 N. Milwaukee Ave.
They have a quirky book selection, and a quiet study space on the top floor, which much to my chagrin, I only discovered in my last two weeks in MAPH.
So…what are YOU reading? Chime in, chums!
Dive Bar Challenge
December 31st, 2011 § 2 comments § permalink
Chicago is full of watering holes. In case some of you don't have any idea where to go for New Years, here are some ideas to kick off the Dive Bar Challenge.
The rules of this challenge are as follows: go to at least 3 of the bars and bring back some evidence of having physically been there (hazy memories don't count, but the napkin-scrawled phone numbers of people you don't remember meeting do). You get extra points if the bars are in a different neighborhood. The first to bring evidence to the MAPH office and present it to either me, AJ, or Whitney will receive some kind of awesome prize that will be decided if anyone actually goes through the trouble to do all of this.
On to the bars…
These are a Few of Our Favorite Things
December 9th, 2011 § 2 comments § permalink
Now that you are all nearing the end of final paper deadlines, it's time to take advantage of your much freer schedule by enjoying some of Chicago's best. Seeing all of the neighborhoods and prioritizing the sites you want to visit and the food you want to eat can be slightly daunting so, for those that need a bit of guidance, here of some of MAPHCentral's favorite places and things to do in Chicago.
If you have a car and it's not too cold, going out to the Morton Arboretum is fantastic. It is a great place to walk and feel like you are not in a city and take photographs. If you want to stay in town and do something going to the Julius Meinl on Southport then up to see an old movie at the Music Box Theatre is splendid. Julius Meinl has great coffee, tea and pastries.
For holiday cheer, I love going to the Christkindlmarket and walking around the various stalls while drinking gluwein and getting little paper packets of spiced almonds and pretending I live in a German Christmas village.
For a burger and fries, I like The Grafton in Lincoln Square where you can get curry gravy for your chips and on Sundays there is an Irish bothy band that plays traditional music. However, the best pub in Chicago is the Duke of Perth. It feels the most authentic and there are fish and chip nights and cottage pie.
Speaking of authentic if you want real buckwheat crepes filled with savory stews in an authentic French atmosphere then you want to go to La Creperie on Clark. The Boeuf Bourguinon crepe is excellent and they are close to the Landmark Century Theatre which shows lots of foreign and independent films so you can make an evening of it.
For the best (pricey but really good) cocktail in a speakeasy, meets David Lynch film, meets Wedgewood vase atmosphere you want The Violet Hour and it is nice enough to take your Mom, Aunt, sister etc. and give her a Chicago experience.

Holiday Festivities and Work during Winter Break
December 2nd, 2011 § 0 comments § permalink
You may still be in the midst of finishing papers for various courses but it is not too soon to start thinking about how to manage the holidays and think about what you might do to prepare for winter quarter.
Planning Ahead?
It is important to take time to get rest, see friends or family, and generally recuperate. If you want to start thinking about the thesis or reading ahead this is a great time to get some reading done. Just set yourself a schedule and devote an hour or two each day or set a study date with friends either in Hyde Park or wherever you land to go to a coffee shop and get some work done.
Be sure to stay connected. If you are spending part of the holiday in Hyde Park you may find campus a little quiet. Stop by the MAPH office and check in with us. We'll post the days the office is closed or hours are shortened. Be sure to check the library schedule as the hours may be different. Find other MAPHers who are in town to venture out and see some sights or just sit in a coffee shop and quietly read together.
Now for the fun part. . .
In search of some healthy recreation after spending hours inside writing?
There is ice skating in Millennium Park and on the Midway. The Museum of Science and Industry has Christmas Trees, a Dr. Seuss exhibit and a U-Boat what sounds more festive than that!
More holiday and anti-holiday events after the jump. . .

The former editor of the Newton, Iowa Daily News filed a complaint with the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission Wednesday, claiming he was fired for expressing his religious beliefs.
Bob Eschliman claims religious discrimination and retaliation. He was fired May 6th, a week after he wrote on a personal blog that gay organizations wanted to reword the Bible "to make their sinful nature 'right with God.'"
If the agency agrees with him, it could order the newspaper's parent company, Dixon, Illinois-based Shaw Media Inc., to pay damages including back pay. Company President John Rung said in May that Eschliman's opinion does not reflect the opinion of the newspaper or the company. He said Eschliman's public airing of his opinion compromised the publication's reputation.
Eschliman is represented by Des Moines attorney Matthew Whitaker, a volunteer attorney with the Liberty Institute, a nonprofit legal organization focusing on religious liberty issues.

Scientific Linux Marches On While CentOS 6 Is Still M.I.A.
Published on 24 June 2011 09:38 AM EDT
Written by
Michael Larabel
Red Hat
4 Comments
Red Hat released
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.0
in November after it was available as beta for months prior. It took a few months for the Scientific Linux developers to release
Scientific Linux 6.0
, as their community rebuild of the RHEL6.0 packages, and shortly thereafter Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.1 was released. The Scientific Linux developers are now preparing to do their 6.1 release while the well-known CentOS team still hasn't even done their CentOS 6.0 release yet with eight months having passed since the official RHEL release.
Troy Dawson of the Scientific Linux project announced yesterday the second alpha release of Scientific Linux 6.1. "All of the packages have gone through much more testing. There are still a couple of packages we are investigating, so we are still in Alpha stage and not Beta stage."
The release announcement of Scientific Linux 6.1 Alpha 2 can be read
. Will Scientific Linux 6.1 be officially released even before CentOS 6.0 makes it out the door? Scientific Linux 6.1 still needs to go through its beta process, but after repeated delays it looks like CentOS-6 may finally be tipping up.
According to
the CentOS 6.0 QA calendar
, the quality assurance sign-off for the 6.0 ISO images is supposed to take place today. If that goes well, the calendar shows the sync process beginning to internal mirrors followed by syncing to external mirrors beginning next week. A
blog post
by Karanbir Singh indicated that a CentOS 6.1 release could come a few weeks after CentOS 6.0 being officially released, but no dates for that are yet on the calendar.
