The Prologue in the Seventeenth-Century Venetian Operatic Libretto: its Dramatic Purpose and the Function of its Characters
Date: August 1998
Creator: Miller, Robin A. (Robin Annette)
Description: The Italian seicento has been considered a dead century by many literary scholars. As this study demonstrates, such a conclusion ignores important literary developments in the field of librettology. Indeed, the seventeenth-century operatic libretto stands as a monument to literary invention. Critical to the development of this new literary genre was the prologue, which provided writers with a context in which to experiment and achieve literary transcendence. This study identifies approximately 260 dramatic works written in Venice between the years 1637 and 1682, drawn together for the first time from three sources: librettos in the Drammaturgia di Leone Allacci accresciuta e continuata fino all'anno MCDDLV; the musical manuscripts listed in the Codici Musicali Contariniani; and a chronological list of seventeenth-century Venetian operas found in Cristoforo Ivanovich's Minerva al Tavolino. Of the 260 Venetian works identified, over 98 begin with self-contained prologues. This discovery alone warrants a reconsideration of the seventeenth-century Italian libretto and the emergence of the dramatic prologue as a new and important literary genre.

have I indulge a dream, so non the less as far as it seems, so grey is the way of what, ask but we may, I see you soon, just in a day, to those empty rooms of all heartache and gloom, engage in a journey is to your doom, I reach for the hand that turn ashes in time, that ends the world in the drop of a dime, all fellows that curse this phrase of my ways, as I glance into his eyes for the end of dayz, which take my mind to timeless gaze still I don't believe what will be, in time my friends you'll all agree, what I seen beyond the stars, is o so close when you think its so far, enjoy this life and cherish it good, for the story I say will crack like wood. for father of darkness has dropped his hood.

June 9th-15th 2013 in Dublin City Centre
Bloomsday Festival is celebrated throughout Dublin and commemorates the work of the Irish Author James Joyce. It is called after the main character in his most famous work of all – Leopold Bloom of Ulysses fame. Ulysses was set in 1904 and fans follow every year in celebrating his memory.
The History & Tradition of Bloomsday
One of the earliest Bloomsday celebrations was a Ulysses lunch, organised by Sylvia Beach, the publisher of Ulysses and her partner Adrienne Monnier in France in June1929. The first Bloomsday celebrated in Ireland was in 1954.
Today Bloomsday is celebrated by Joyceans across the globe with readings, performances, re-enactments and a host of other events. In Dublin, enthusiasts dress in Edwardian costume and gather during the day at many of the location where episodes of Ulysses took place (Martello Tower at Sandycove, Davy Byrne's pub and 7 Eccles Street).
The James Joyce Centre is located just 1 minute walk from the Castle Hotel.

text: The Kenyan culture is of vibrance and,cheerfulness and is expressed through our clothing which is usually colourful and bold and comfy for the weather which is usually warm. when traditional clothing is worn it has a twist of modern style – like this outfit which is a summer dress made with a Kanga which has african print and usually an inspirational Swahili quote written on its edges. For accessories i added a head band made of maasai beads and leather made by a Maasai friend. Though this type of clothing is not worn often in Kenya these days it is still a special look that keeps us proud of our heritage :)

The Newark Department of Child and Family Well-Being (Department) recently issued a press release on the City's new paid sick leave ordinance (Ordinance) together with FAQ forms for employees and employers. In the release, the Department appears to move the effective date [1] of the Ordinance from May 29, 2014 to June 21, 2014.[2]
One of the requirements of the Ordinance is that employers provide a written notice of rights under the law to each employee, individually, as soon as practicable after the Ordinance takes effect. Employers also must provide the notice to each new hire at the time employment commences. Notice to the individual must be in English and the primary language spoken by that employee, if the primary language of the employee also is the primary language of at least 10% of the employer's workforce.
In addition, employers must display a poster in a conspicuous and accessible place in each business establishment covered by the Ordinance. The poster must be in English and in each language that is the first language of at least 10% of the employer's workforce.
It is unclear whether the FAQ forms issued by the Department can be used to satisfy the posting and distribution requirements laid out in the Ordinance. To ensure compliance with the law, for the time being at least, employers should consider displaying and distributing[3] the FAQ forms, a copy of the Ordinance, and a document incorporating the key terms of the Ordinance[4] in the time, manner, and languages noted above. In addition, the Department's press release states that employers should add a policy to their employee handbooks regarding sick leave rights under the Ordinance.
[1] For employees who are covered by a collective bargaining agreement, the Ordinance takes effect upon expiration of the current union contract.
[2] On the face of the Ordinance, the effective date is May 29, 2014.
[3] The new law is silent on permissible methods of distributing written notice to employees and new hires. Thus, it appears that e-mail may be used to satisfy this obligation, if the employer prefers this method of distribution. Whether employers provide written notice by email or in hard copy, they should maintain records to demonstrate compliance with the notice obligations.
[4] The Ordinance provides that the notice and poster must describe "the right to paid sick time, the accrual rate and the amount of paid sick time, and the terms of its use under the Ordinance; the right to be free from retaliation for properly requesting use of paid sick time; and the right to file a complaint or bring an action in municipal court if paid sick time is denied by the employer or the employee is retaliated against for requesting or taking paid sick time."
DISCLAIMER: Because of the generality of this update, the information provided herein may not be applicable in all situations and should not be acted upon without specific legal advice based on particular situations.

This conference abstract reports on a project which gathered empirical data on the role of mobile phones and other hand-held devices in supporting informal learning, specifically language learning among adults. Volunteer interviewees were learning Japanese, Spanish, French, German, Welsh, Russian, Euskera, Italian, Chinese, Indonesian and Irish at various levels of proficiency. Half were also enrolled in a formal course. The broad aim of our work is to uncover emergent practices of self-directed learners. By interviewing these learners, we seek to understand how the practice of mobile learning is beginning to change language learning. The research focused on personal motivations for using a mobile device; the extent to which the device 'opens up' learning; and constraints on use and progress. While focusing on languages, the research also has implications for other professional fields and disciplines where increasing mobile device use is beginning to have an impact.

There's a temptation to revert to cliché when discussing pulp romance. Harlequin Superromance author Vicki Essex says this makes writers of the genre cringe.
"'Bodice-rippers.' We hate that term! It's a throwback from the '70s and '80s, when historicals were the big thing," she says. "But today, romance—and contemporary romance especially—isn't like that. There are so many genres and sub-genres."
Essex is part of a new generation of young, smart, romance writers who are using the medium to tell compelling, well-written stories that just happen to feature boy-meets-girl scenarios with fleshly pursuits. She stresses that these books are hardly recycled, drop-in-the-detail plot scenarios.
"Another thing people hate is the idea that there are formulas in romance writing," she says. "If you have to use an 'F' word, use 'framework.' All stories use a framework."

On the Plate
Polls are over and we still have to wait for another three days before any results are announced in Bharath. Parents with first hand elections experience from home are here with us now. Getting together at the dining table with a plate of decent meal can always be a good place for a lively discussion about current happenings. That's what had happened this afternoon at home. We had a typical Andhra bhojanam (Annam, avakaya, tomato pappu, beerakaya kura and on the side cherry tomatoes and carrots from the garden, along with coriander rasam and curd) and a lively chat. What was on your plate today?

The Hindu Young World painting competition saw children put their imagination to paper.
It might be quite tricky to answer the question "Who sees the human face correctly: the photographer, the mirror, or the painter?"
Out in the auditorium of Assisi Vidyaniketan Public School in Kochi, 450 children from Ernakulam and neighbouring districts let loose their creative talent at the Central Kerala round of The Hindu Young World painting competition.
Creativity on paper
Most of them painted splendid images of humans, birds and animals in rural settings and also vast open spaces where children enjoyed every moment of life. It was evident that the participants — most of them from congested Kochi and busy towns, dreamt of being amidst what their grandparents and most of their parents had taken for granted.
They visualised life going on at a relaxed pace — with no high-rise buildings and malls around, no vehicles spewing toxic emissions and constantly blaring their horns. It was evident that children who are lucky to be taken to their native place very often relished every moment of their time there, amidst cousins, grandparents and rural folk in a very rustic and green setting.
The juniors (Stds IV to VII) could choose from three topics — watching television with family, playing a game with friends and a fancy dress competition in school. The topics for seniors (Stds VIII to X) were a visit to a museum, a village scene and working on a school project with friends.
Children playing kites, shuttle and football (most of them wearing jerseys of Argentina and Germany), workers harvesting paddy, cows grazing in the meadows, thatched huts, bullock carts, country boats on rivers and streams, kids playing hide and seek, village folk engaged in their daily chores, children chasing bicycle tyres with a stick, a village tea shop… most aspects of rural life were nicely captured on paper.
There were also scenes of children watching their favourite programme on TV, with a participant also giving the caption — "Watching television with grandparents, parents and a month-old baby sister". In the theme fancy dress, there were Superman and a mosquito walking the ramp!
The winners
Students from two Kochi schools — Lakshmi K. of Std V from the S.B.O.A. Public School and Kevin Joshy of Std X from Nava Nirman Public School won the first prize in the junior and senior categories respectively.
Daksha Gupta of Std VI from The Choice School, Tripunithura, and Deepak Satish of Std IV from the Navy Children School, Kochi, came second and third among juniors. Nandana Menon of Std VIII from Rajasree SMM School, Aluva, and Ashwin Jose Kattikaran of Std VIII from Kendriya Vidyalaya, Kadavanthra, were second and third among seniors.
The chief guest was Sharath Das, cine actor, while the Chairman of Kerala Lalithakala Academy C.N. Karunakaran and artist P.V. Nandan were the judges for the event.
The contest was sponsored nationally by MIOT Hospitals, while Maaza, Rison International and Nestle India were the regional sponsors.

BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) — Defenseman Paul Martin scored with 2:04 left to lift the Pittsburgh Penguins to a 4-3 win over the Buffalo Sabres on Sunday.
Pascal Dupuis had two goals and an assist and Sidney Crosby also scored and set up Martin's goal. Pittsburgh (11-5-0) won its third straight and improved to 8-2 in its past 10 to move ahead of idle New Jersey atop the Eastern Conference standings.
The Penguins were forced to rally from behind after squandering a 2-0 lead. Dupuis tied the game at 3 by one-timing in Kris Letang's cross-ice feed with 5:17 left. Martin then scored his second of the season when his 40-footer deflected in off the stick of Sabres defenseman Christian Ehrhoff in front.
Crosby set up the goal by digging the puck out of the left corner and feeding a pass to Martin.

Nursing home's earnings misrepresented during trial, lawyers argue
CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Lawyers representing a Charleston nursing home that was recently sued for $91.5 million argued in a recent court filing that multiple errors during the trial -- including a misstatement of the earnings of the home's umbrella corporation -- make the massive jury award illegal.
Brian Glasser, who represents Heartland of Charleston and its parent company, HCR Manor Care, asked a judge in a court filing this week to grant a new trial, reduce the award substantially, or drop the case completely based on the errors.
According to Glasser, lawyers for Tom Douglas, who sued Heartland in 2009 after his 87-year-old mother died shortly after her stay in the Charleston home, told a jury that HCR Manor Care made $4 billion in profits in 2009 based on a tax return statement from that year.
The lawyers did not instruct the jury that that number was the corporation's gross revenue. With expenditures factored in, Manor Care made $75 million in taxable income, "multiple orders of magnitude less than $4 billion," Glasser said in the pleadings.
"Plaintiff's counsel repeatedly mischaracterized Manor Care Inc.'s finances based on the tax return," Glasser wrote, "and did so for the sole purpose of inflaming the jury to award punitive damages."
In Sept. 2009, Tom Douglas admitted his mother Dorothy into Heartland of Charleston until a bed opened up at another facility near Huntington. Dorothy Douglas suffered from Alzheimer's and dementia, but could still walk and recognize her family members.
But after three weeks in Heartland, the woman's health was alleged to have declined dramatically. Staff at the home failed to make sure Dorothy had enough water and that she was eating properly, lawyers said at the trial. On several occasions, Douglas told his mother's nurse aides that the woman was not getting enough to drink, and asked them to make sure she had water next to her bed at all times.
Dorothy also fell twice while at the home, and staff forced her confinement to a wheelchair, according to trial testimony.
By the time she was transferred to the Huntington home, Douglas was unresponsive, she had lost 15 pounds and severe dehydration had driven her to the brink of death, Douglas' lawyers said.
In August, after a trial that lasted nearly two weeks, a Kanawha County jury found that nurse aides at Heartland negligently caused Douglas' death by failing to keep her properly hydrated and awarded Tom Douglas $91.5 million.
Zakaib reduced the award to about $90.5, after noting in a judgment order that a small portion of the verdict should be subject to the state's medical malpractice caps. The caps, which state lawmakers instituted under West Virginia's Medical Professional Liability Act about a decade ago, prevent plaintiffs in lawsuits alleging medical malpractice from recovering more than $500,000 in non-economic damages.
But the jury in Douglas' case classified only a small portion of the home's negligence as "medical". Douglas' lawyers argued that Dorothy died because the staff failed to give her food and water -- basic human needs that don't require a medical degree to dole out.
According to Glasser, the cap statute broadly defines a nursing home as a health-care facility, and any negligence from workers in such a facility is defined as medical negligence.
"All of the acts of omissions at issue are covered because they were performed (or should have been performed) for Ms. Douglas during her stay -- or "confinement" -- at Heartland," Glasser wrote. "The entire judgment ought to be capped."
Glasser also argued that the verdict form the jury used during the trial did not specify damages for each defendant named in the suit, and instead lumped them together, denying their rights of having a separate determination of liability.
The verdict form also directed the jurors to give a $5 million award to Douglas' sister Carolyn Douglas Hoy, who wasn't named as a party in the lawsuit.

News Briefs
Work begins on I-295 rehab project
TOPSHAM — Preliminary reconstruction of Interstate 295 northbound has begun, causing a lane closure between Exit 28 in Brunswick and Exit 31 in Topsham.
The full closure of the northbound lanes will follow when work begins on June 15 for the stretch of I-295 running from Topsham to Gardiner. The project is expected to wrap up in August.
Pike Industries won the bid for the project in March. The cost is about $35.3 million, funded by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act.
During full construction, crossovers will divert northbound traffic onto I-295 southbound, which was rehabilitated last year. Route 201 and the Maine Turnpike will facilitate southbound traffic detoured from I-295.
A Topsham on-ramp used for detoured traffic last year will be utilized again this year. The ramp allows southbound Route 201 traffic to avoid the busy Route 196-Route201 area.

(aka "Cruel Destination" or "Devils in Mykonos" or "A Craving for Lust" or "Ta paidia tou Diavolou" )
directed by Nico Mastorakis
Greece 1977
Christopher (Bob Behling,
CUJO) and Celia (Jane Ryall) flee to Mykonos and turn
avenging angels on anyone they deem to be perverted (which
is a bit like calling the kettle black since Christopher
boffs an adorable-looking goat when Celia's not in the
mood). Gays, lesbians, prostitutes, hippies, rapists,
druggies, various fornicators, and even an African-American
private detective hired to trail them by their mother are
among the victims as the siblings tour the picturesque
settings (although they train their camera more on the
murders than the monuments), but they may have met their
match in a mute shepherd (Nikos Tsachiridis). |

Like Mastorakis' previous 2002 digital master, Arrow's progressive, open-matte transfer features video-generated opening credits. Reportedly, the previous master had not been correctly tinted for the day-for-night scenes and this has been rectified here. Sourced from the original negative, the image is very clean and colorful with only a few instances of wear. The fullframe aspect ratio is confirmed to be open-matte (most Greek film productions of the era were also shot and projected full frame). The English mono audio is in good condition and bold in its electronic music, odd folk songs, dialogue, and attentive sound design. While the Mastorakis interview and "The Music of ISLAND OF DEATH" featurette appeared on the original 2002 Image Entertainment disc (Mastorakis remastered some of his titles in 2002 and produced extras for DVD licensing), the rest of the extras are newly-produced. A good-humored Mastorakis appears in an audio commentary, interview, and a Q&A session from a Dublin showing of the film. Mastorakis delivers an amusing (yet probably true) anecdote of how he conceived and cast the film and makes light of the film's status as a Video Nasty. He and moderator Waddell have a good rapport during the commentary, and Mastorakis frankly explains that the film was inspired by TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE only so in far as it was a low budget film that made a lot of money (he also explains that the original title DEVILS IN MYKONOS refers not to the locals, but to the tourist trade including the film's protagonists). A trailer under the alternate title CRUEL DESTINATION is also included. The "2010 Re-recording of 'Destination Understanding'" is an entertaining featurette with five covers of the song by Garage Rock band Acid Fascists, Indie band Sea Bass Kid, Riot Grrrl band The Fnords, Bluegrass band Southern Tenant Folk Union, and Extreme Noise band Kylie Minoise. |

Re: High Speed Morgan 33 O.I....
I believe you Gary.
I sailed from the Rhode River to St. Mike's in under 4 hours. Upwind, broad reach, upwind and DDW. I hit 8.3kts SOG several times on the broad reach and maintained over 6.1 kts on the upwind legs. I flew the #2, with a reefed main. The Pearson 30 is just built for that stuff, and I loved it.
I sailed right to the anchor drop in Fog Cove, only using the engine to back down and set the anchor. Late Sunday morning, I sailed right off the anchor, not using the engine. I mean, does it get any better than that? As I sailed out, there was a log canoe race going on, and a Skipjack coming in under sail. I got some great photos that I'll try to post tonight.
The rest of Sunday was a slow ride home in a fickle, 5kt breeze that was dead on the nose the whole way. I didn't tie up until 9pm.

Marshall Scholarships
Deadline | 08/06/2015 |
Eligibility | Seniors and recent alumni |
Contact | Linda Dunleavy |
Website | http://www.marshallscholarship.org/ |
An Act of Parliament in 1953 established the Marshall Scholarships to commemorate the ideals of the European Recovery Programme best know as the Marshall Plan established by U.S. General George Marshall in 1947. The scholarship expresses the gratitude of the British to the Americans and promotes intellectual, personal, and cultural exchange between the United States and the United Kingdom. Roughly 40 Marshall Scholarships will be awarded to U.S. citizens for study at any university in the United Kingdom. Scholarships can have a tenure of one or two academic years and in special cases may be extended to three years.
Applicants for the Marshhall Scholarship must be U.S. citizens and will be eligible if they have graduated from their undergraduate institution after April 2009 regardless of their age. A 3.7 minimum grade point average is required, unless there are exceptional extenuating circumstances. The selection committee for Marshall Scholars looks for leadership ability and "distinction of intellect and character" demonstrated through the candidate's academic record and other activities and achievements. Committees favor candidates who combine high academic ability with the capacity to contribute actively to the U.K. university they would attend; in addition they value a strong sense of life purpose, which includes a specific and realistic academic program.

Best Elizabeth Schlicht Poems
Why do I feel so alone Here I sit in a crowded room...yet feel totally alone No one seems to look at me Or if they do their eyes quickly dart away as if they can't bear to look too long Why? Am I really that distasteful Do they have their own agenda that can't possibly include one more person I guess I am really just as bad as they are I don't make much eye contact myself I find it nearly impossible to reach out Why? Can it really hurt I feel as though if I fell over in the middle of this crowd, my body would go totally unnoticed Maybe they would just step right over me and go on as if nothing ever happened I really am unapproachable I give off the air Why? I thought I was over the whole fear of being hurt, but maybe not Maybe I'm just trying to convince myself that I'm not afraid I need friends, I want them, but I shut them out I'm alone, so alone I feel like someone's watching me He's walking this way He smiled and said, Hello I'm no longer alone

For most of us, the threat of radiation poisoning is not something we often think of. However, there is always the possibility that some catastrophic incident will put some of us in danger. Now, I don't know about you, but I can't recall the last time I've seen my Geiger counter. So how do you tell if the area is unsafe? As it turns out, you can use your iPhone.
Don't get me wrong, you really shouldn't trust your phone as a completely reliable source of information regarding radiation levels. However, in a pinch, it can tell you enough to let you know if there is a danger. You see, the CMOS sensor doesn't just record the light visible to your own eye, it can also capture Gamma and X waves emitted by radioactive sources. With the WikiSensor Dosimeter, you just cover the iPhone's front camera with black tape, and run the program. The black tape prevents any light from traditional sources from being captured, yet still lets though the waves mentioned above. If these waves are recorded, then the software will let you know, and give you an idea of the risk. If you live in an area where you might be exposed to radiation at some point, this might be worth the $.99 price.

Loveland — Jackson Wright and his Valley teammates walked into the Budweiser Events Center determined to be the biggest fish in a small pond.
After the day the Vikings had Friday at the Northern Colorado Christmas Tournament, Valley is thinking bigger, with hopes of painting as prominent of a presence as Moby Dick flipping his enormous fins through the Pacific Ocean.
With one day to go in the 67-team star-studded tournament, the Vikings are in contention for a team title, sitting third with 93.5 points, behind Thompson Valley and Cleveland (N.M.), which have 105 and 102 points, respectively.
"Our goal here was to be the top small(-school) team," Wright said. "But, when you're that close to being the top team, that's something you're going to push yourself for. Thompson Valley beat us (at the Roosevelt Invitational) last week. So, we're always going to be pushing for them at any tournament we see them at."
Wright (12-1), a 170-pounder, is one of four Vikings wrestlers to advance to today's championship semifinals. In all, seven Valley wrestlers are still alive in the tournament.
Valley far and away had the best first day of the nine Weld teams in attendance.
Greeley West (70.5) sits 13th, and Greeley Central (64.5) is 19th, immediately followed by Windsor (63) and Highland (60).
Eaton (50) is 31st, Platte Valley (45) is tied for 37th, Northridge (42.5) is 41st and University (32.5) sits tied for 53rd.
Wright will be joined in today's semifinals by Vikings teammates Ruben Lucero (12-1, 120), Zac Miller (12-1, 152) and heavyweight Dorian Richard (10-2).
Less than a week ago when three Valley wrestlers advanced to title matches but none won a gold medal during the Vikings' third-place performance at Roosevelt, one of those runners-up, Richard, said he and his teammates would be hungry for more as they prepare for this week's Christmas Tournament.
Valley's deep roster proved as much Friday, quickly shooting up the standings in the highly-competitive tournament, which is often dominated by 4A and 5A schools.
"We're doing even better than we were hoping to do," Richard said. "We were hoping just to stay in (contention). We're not happy with third. But, in this tournament, to be behind (only) Thompson Valley and Cleveland High School is still an accomplishment."
Valley's Gonzales pushes Windsor's Lanteri
One of the Vikings' handful of losses on Friday came during one of the more competitive matches of the third round of the championship backet.
At 160 pounds, Windsor's Kennen Lanteri (15-1) topped Valley's Brenden Gonzales (12-2), 6-2.
After a Gonzales reversal with 1 minute, 51 seconds left in the match, Lanteri — a defending Class 4A state champion — led just 3-2 before scoring an escape and a late takedown.
"It was nice to be pushed, just to get things going," Lanteri said. "That always helps out going into the second day. I was glad I got pushed in a couple matches (Friday), and I think it will help out a lot (today)."
Lanteri is one of four Wizards wrestlers in today's championship semifinals and one of five Windsor wrestlers still alive in the tournament.
West at its best
Greeley West jumped up several spots in the standings Friday from not only quarterfinalists, but also consolation wrestlers.
Three wrestlers are still alive in the tournament after winning consolation matches: Juan Rubio, 106 pounds, Vincent Dominguez, 170, and Logan Trzeciak, 182. Two Spartans won in the quarterfinals: Dylan West, 126, and Adrian Delacruz, 138.
Delacruz said he did "all right" in his three matches on Day 1.
"I still feel out of shape a little bit," Delacruz said. "I think there's a lot of room for improvement still."
Delacruz won his first match with a technical fall against Ricky Morales (Thornton) with a score of 18-3. He pinned his next opponent, Matt Hyatt (Fort Collins) in 2 minutes and won his quarterfinal 10-6 against Brandon Aragon (Pueblo Central).
Delacruz said his final match was tough because Aragon is similar to him on the mat.
"That last match … we kinda wrestle the same so it was maybe a little bit harder for me," he said.
Still, he scored points for his team and West moved up to 13th place.
Wildcats sharpening their claws
Greeley Central received solid performances from its wrestlers Friday and one even wanted to wrestle more.
Jorge Guerra-Munoz, heavyweight, wrestled two matches at the first day of the tournament after having a bye in the first round.
"I wanted to wrestle, I didn't like having the bye," he said. "It just made me feel really tired. I slept like half the day so it didn't feel really good at all. Yeah I really wanted another match."
However, Guerra-Munoz won both of his matches: In the first, he won in the ultimate tie breaker 3-2 against Willy Clements (Holy Family) and in the second, he pinned Justin Halley (Middle Park) in 2:37.
Guerra-Munoz said he was exhausted from facing his last opponent.
"That kid (in the) last match really gave me a run for my money and he was kicking my butt," Guerra-Munoz said. "He was blocking two of my moves so I had to figure out where he was gonna play me in. So he started to settle and it's hard for me to attack."
But he figured it out and will wrestle in the semifinals today. Alonzo Samaniego, 106, also made it into the semifinals and Brandon Rivas, 113, is still alive in the tourney.
What a difference a year makes
A year ago as a freshman, Windsor sophomore Matteo Ambriz (14-0) went 1-2 at the Christmas Tournament.
He's already tripled that win total, winning all three of his matches Friday to advance to today's championship semifinals.
"I'm not one to try and boast or anything, but I feel like I do have a little bit of momentum," Ambriz said. "Last year, I didn't do anything here. Then, this year, coming back and doing what I have done so far this season, I'm feeling pretty good."
Ambriz said gaining experience last year "helped settle me down and focus me for this year, because going into last year, I was always underweight and I just had these jitters in my head. ... This year, I know I'm just as good as those other kids. I've trained as hard as I can train, and I know I'm going to be able to do as much as my mind will let me."
Wizards work some magic
Windsor puts itself in a good position Friday, getting four wrestlers through to the semifinals.
Josh Villa, 113, Ambriz, 126, Lanteri, 160, and Joseph Keller, 182, all went 3-0 on the first day of the tourney.
Brandon Brauser, 195, is still alive after win in the fourth round of the consolation matches.
Huskies on the run
Highland started the tournament slow Friday, but a late rally shot the Huskies up the standings.
Up until the 182-weight class, Highland had no one alive for the second day of the tourney.
At 182, Sean Belfrage won his way through all four of the consolation rounds to stay alive. After a bye, Theodore Zimmer, 195, pinned both of his opponents to advance to the semifinals and Kobee Sameshima, 220, is also in the semifinals after a bye, a pin and a major decision.
Reds: party of two
Eaton is down to two wrestlers for Day 2 of the tournament and neither of them made it to the quarterfinals.
Tanner Lewis, 106, went 3-1, receiving a bye and pinning his second opponent before falling in the third round of the championship matches. He won by decision in the consolation bracket to stay alive.
Rusty Lohr, 132, also went 3-1 on the day. He pinned his first opponent, won by decision against his second but was pinned in his third match. He won by decision in his consolation match to be able to wrestle today.
Broncos buck it up
Platte Valley didn't have much success Friday, but two of its wrestlers will have a chance in the tourney today.
Ryan Waite, 132, went 3-0 with a pin, technical fall and major decision to advance to the semifinals.
Clark Jett, 145, was pinned in his first match but won his way through the consolation bracket to stay alive and go 4-1.
Grizzlies duo roar to semis
Northridge has two wrestlers in the semifinals for Day 2 of the tournament.
Juan Lopez, 120, had two pins and a decision to make it to the semifinals.
Erick Palomino-Romero, 145, will also wrestle in the semis after three decision wins.
Bulldogs in the doghouse
University is the only Weld County team that won't wrestle today at the tourney.
None of its wrestlers made it out of the consolation bracket, with three Bulldogs going 3-2 in their matches.

In many languages, quotes are mainly used to specify that the enclosed text is to be interpreted as a string datatype, but in shell programming, almost everything is a string, so quoting in the shell has many different effects and purposes. There are multiple types of quotes which primarily enable different ways of interpreting their contents. Unfortunately, the rules are often hard for beginners to learn and their behavior varies by context with several special cases and exceptions to remember. Also unfortunately, quoting in shell programming is extremely important. It's something no one can avoid learning. Improper shell quoting is one of the most common sources of scripting bugs and security issues. Fortunately, it's possible to get it right most of the time by following a few guidelines, but do not guess about quoting. When in doubt, test, and read the man page for how quotes are to be interpreted in a given context.
Types of quoting
There are three standard types of quotes (or four if you count backslash escaping), and two nonstandard Bash extensions. This is the brief description of each of them. Read below for the verbose version.
Single quotes: '...' removes the special meaning of every character between the quotes. The only character that you can't safely enclose in single quotes is a single quote.
Double quotes: "..." prevents some substitutions but allows others. Every substitution that begins with a dollar sign $ is performed, as is the legacy `...` (backtick) command substitution. Backslash escaping is also performed. No word splitting or filename expansion is performed.
Backticks: `...` is the legacy command substitution syntax; deprecated in favor of $(...) but still permitted for historical reasons. See FAQ 082 for details.
Backslash: Putting \ in front of a metacharacter removes its special meaning. This works inside double quotes, or in the absence of quotes. It does not work inside single quotes.
$'...' : This is a Bash extension. It prevents everything except backslash escaping, and also allows special backslash escape sequences like \n for newline, \t for tab, and \xnn for bytes specified in hexadecimal.
$"..." : This is another Bash extension. It is used for localization support and will not be covered on this page.
You may concatenate the various types of quoting if you need to. For example, if you have one section of a string that has lots of special characters that you'd like to single-quote, and another section with a parameter expansion in it which must be double-quoted, you may mix them:
$ foo=bar $ echo '!%$*&'"$foo" !%$*&bar
Any number of quoted substrings, of any style, may be concatenated in this manner. The result (after appropriate expansions in the double-quoted sections) is a single word.
Effects of Quoting
Preserve unescaped metacharacters
A shell command is parsed by the shell into words, using whitespace (regardless of the IFS variable) and other shell metacharacters. The first function of quoting is to permit words to contain these metacharacters.
echo '&'
Without quotes, the & would put the echo command into the background. With quotes, the & is simply made into a word, and passed as an argument to the echo command instead.
The quotes are not actually passed along to the command. They are removed by the shell (this process is cleverly called "quote removal"). In the example above, the echo command sees only the &, not the quotes.
Prevent field splitting and ignore glob pattern characters
The second purpose of quoting is to prevent word splitting and globbing. The result of a double-quoted substitution does not undergo any further processing (whereas the result of an unquoted substitution does).
cp -- "$filename" "$destination"
In this example, the double quotes protect the value of each parameter (variable) from undergoing word splitting or globbing should it happen to contain whitespace or wildcard characters (* or ? or [...]). Without the quotes, a filename like hot stuff.mp3 would be split into two words, and each word would be passed to the cp command as a separate argument. Or, a filename that contains * with whitespace around it would produce one word for every file in the current directory. That is not what we want.
With the quotes, every character in the value of the filename parameter is treated literally, and the whole value becomes the second argument to the cp command.
When in doubt, always double-quote your parameter expansions.
Expand argument lists
Double-quoting $@ or ${array[@]} has a special meaning. "$@" expands to a list of words, with each positional parameter's value being one word. Likewise, "${array[@]}" expands to a list of words, one per array element. When dealing with the positional parameters or with the contents of an array as a list of words, always use the double-quoted syntax.
Double-quoting $* or ${array[*]} results in one word which is the concatenation of all the positional parameters (or array elements) with the first character of IFS between them. This is similar to the join function in some other languages, although the fact that you can only have a single join character can sometimes be a crippling limitation.
When Should You Quote?
The basic rule of thumb is that you should double-quote every expansion. This prevents unwanted word splitting and globbing. When in doubt, quote it.
There are a few cases where double quotes may be safely omitted:
On the right hand side of a simple assignment. You may write foo=$bar without quotes. This is POSIX compliant.
The word following a case keyword. You may write case $foo in ... safely. This is POSIX compliant.
Inside a [[ command, except on the right hand side of an = or == operator. [[ already suppresses word splitting and globbing, so you can write things like [[ -z $string ]] safely if you wish. However, be warned that [[ foo = $bar ]] and [[ foo = "$bar" ]] act differently (see patterns below). The [[ keyword is a Bash extension.
Use single quotes when protecting complex strings, especially ones that contain shell syntax which you don't want evaluated.
Here are some assorted examples, to show how things should be done. Some of these examples use bash/ksh syntax that won't work in strict POSIX shells.
Proper iteration over the positional parameters using a quoted "$@". Never use an unquoted $@ or $*.
for file in "$@"; do ... done
As above, except with an array:
for element in "${array[@]}"; do ...
Proper iteration over array indexes:
# bash 3.0 and higher for index in "${!array[@]}"; do ...
All of the usual expansions apply to text within the parentheses of a compound array assignment including word splitting and pathname expansion, and must be quoted and escaped in the same way as though they were to be passed as arguments to a command:
# bash or ksh93 find_opts=( \( -iname '*.jpg' -o -iname '*.gif' -o -iname '*.png' \) ) find . "${find_opts[@]}" -print
First, a single quoted string followed by an unquoted, escaped single quote, followed by a single-quoted string. Second, a non-POSIX equivalent using $'...':
echo 'Don'\''t walk!' echo $'Don\'t talk!'
$(...)-style command substitutions are unique in that the quoting of their contents is completely independent to their surroundings. This means you don't have to worry about nested quote escaping problems:
echo "The matching line is: $(grep foo "$filename")" # Note that the quotes inside the $() command substitution are nested. # This looks wrong to a C programmer, but it is correct in shells. echo "The matching line is: $(grep foo "$filename")" # ^---------^ inner layer (quotes) # ^^--------------------^ middle layer (command sub) # ^---------------------------------------------^ outer layer (quotes) # Without the inner quotes, the value of $filename would be word-split and globbed # before being handed to grep.
An example showing an array being "joined" with "${a[*]}":
# bash ip=192.168.1.30 netmask=255.255.254.0 IFS=. read -ra ip_octets <<<"$ip" IFS=. read -ra netmask_octets <<<"$netmask" for i in 0 1 2 3; do ((ip_octets[i] &= netmask_octets[i])) done IFS=.; network="${ip_octets[*]}"; unset IFS
The $'...' quoting style is used to interpret backslash escapes:
IFS=$' \t\n' # sets the IFS variable to the three-byte string containing # a space, a tab, and a newline
Examples showing backslash sequences:
# The following are all equivalent: echo $'hi\nthere\n' printf '%s\n' hi there # discouraged: echo -e 'hi\nthere\n' # ksh93: print 'hi\nthere\n'
One important situation where quotes can have an unintended effect is in the case of pattern matching contexts. Bash uses quotes to suppress the "specialness" of patterns and regular expressions. Characters interpreted specially in a pattern matching context are treated literally when quoted whether the pattern is expanded from a parameter or not.
if [[ $path = foo* ]]; then # unquoted foo* acts as a glob if [[ $path = "foo*" ]]; then # quoted "foo*" is a literal string if [[ $path =~ $some_re ]]; then # the contents of $some_re are treated as an ERE if [[ $path =~ "$some_re" ]]; then # the contents of $some_re are treated as a literal string # despite the =~ operator
# Bash 4 # the "quoted" branch is taken. g=a*[b] case $g in "$g") echo 'quoted pattern' ;;& $g) echo 'unquoted pattern' ;; esac
Here Documents
Quote-removal never applies to the contents of a here document
$ arr=(words in array); cat <<EOF > These are the "${arr[@]}" > EOF These are the "words in array"
The quoting of the "delimiter" in the heredoc redirection affects whether the contents of the heredoc are parsed for expansions. This quoted heredoc variety is somewhat special because it is the only context in all of bash in which a literal string of arbitrary content may be specified and is subject to no special interpretation whatsoever, except for lines beginning with the delimiter itself marking the end of the heredoc.
{ echo before eval "$(</dev/stdin)" # The heredoc is executed as though it were here. echo after } <<\EOF # Put any bash code at all here EOF
Types of Quoting -- The Verbose Version
Single quotes: (apostrophes) prevent all special interpretation of the characters between them. Everything between single quotes is literal and expands to a single word. The only thing which cannot be single-quoted is a single quote itself.
Double quotes: are the most important and complex type of quoting in shell programming. Double quotes permit the shell to parse their contents for those types of expansions that are prefixed with a $ sign - parameter expansions, arithmetic expansions and command substitutions, while treating all other content as literal (except for the legacy backticks (`) described below or history expansion (!)). Most importantly, word splitting and filename expansion are not applied to anything within double quotes, but they also protect their contents from brace expansion, tilde expansion, process substitution, and interpretation as redirection syntax. Like single quotes, double quotes also allow for the inclusion of metacharacters and control operators without backslash escaping. Double quotes also have important effects on parameter expansions, where they can influence the number of words when expanding composite variables (arrays and positional parameters), and by not applying word splitting and pathname expansion to the results.
$'...' and $"...": Bash introduces two additional forms of quoting -- single and double quotes preceded by a $ sign. Of these,$'...' is the most common, and acts just like single quotes except that backslash-escaped combinations are expanded as specified by the ANSI C standard. This allows a convenient way to embed nonprintable characters into strings or pass them as arguments. The second form is $"..." and is used for localization support. Neither of these are specified or mentioned by POSIX, but at least the $'...' variety is widely supported by Bash, Ksh93, and relatives.
Escaping: The escape character in Bash and POSIX sh is the backslash. In addition to some of the usual uses for escape sequences in other languages, an unquoted escape in an ordinary argument evaluation context in Bash serves mostly the same function as single-quoting. A backslash followed by a glob character, metacharacter, redirect operator, and some other characters with special meaning causes them to become literal. Escapes have several other functions in other contexts, such as within pattern matching contexts and arguments corresponding to printf's %b format, including some undocumented functions, like changing the special-builtin lookup order in non-POSIX mode (In other words, it does more than can fit into a short overview). Most commonly, escapes used as a form of quoting are a shortcut alternative to single-quoting a single character. e.g. you might write \* instead of '*', or combine multiple words into a single word using foo\ bar instead of 'foo bar' (or more accurately, foo' 'bar). TODO: write more about escaping.
Note: Although backticks (`) are a type of quotes linguistically, they don't actually "quote" anything in bash. Where quoting in bash is used to make data (partly) literal, backticks do something entirely different. They're the old Bourne syntax for command substitution. They mostly do the same thing as $(...), but there are a handful of weird exceptions. Either way, it doesn't matter that much: Their use is deprecated in favor of $(...), and you really shouldn't use these things anymore in modern or maintained bash code. Take away from this that if you see them, they do NOT void the need for quoting (just like "$(command)", you should double-quote them: "`command`"), and you should probably just replace them with $().
