OUR BOYS IN SERVICE At oor ta^jaeat Mrs. Keegan allows us this letter from the mother of a soldier boy firom the West One rea¬ son in particular for wishing; to pub¬ lish this ia because of a foolish item in a recent issue of one of thc Brooklyn dailies, giving the impression that our soldier boys are stuffed to satiety and that it is wasted effort to entertain them outside of camps.

Stole Boy s Christmas Goat While on his beat Christmas Eve •bout 2:80, Officer Grossman saw two men coming with a bundle. He atopped them, when they threw the bundle in the bushes and attempted to escape, but he compelled them to tiome back and open the bundle, which contained a goat which had just been killed evidently for food. The two men, Italians, were taken to Police Headqnarters, where they were en¬ tered as Nicholas Carlo anB Fred Greal. They were held under $200 hail for trial. , The goat was later identified by Walter Gorley, master of the Man¬ hattan Golf Club, as one he had pur¬ chased for his boy's Christmas pres- Dear Mr. and Mra. Raynor:— After being considerably jostled about,both on land and sea, during the past weeks, we now find ourselves in quarters for the Winter. Wc sleep in a large bam loft and are conducting a hospital within twenty miles of the front trenches where the continuous booming of the heavy cannons reach our ears when thc wind is right. The ocean trip was rather un¬ eventful, a great many of our boys were seasick. We finally reached a French port and enjoyed very much the unusual sights. This town is a typical French coun¬ try village and is composed of the owners of the farms. Most of the buildings here are very old; the oid castle, or chateaux, where we have established our hospital was erected in 1616. We now find plenty to do, but all are glad to be at work, after being idie so long. The climate so far has been quite a rainy one and also pretty cold, but we are at last getting acclimated. I don't know of course at what time you will get this letter, but if it geta there before the holidays I certainly wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Thanking you for the most enjoya¬ ble evening spent at your home, I am Very sincerely, Emest F. Knight, 167th Field HospiUl, 117th Sanitary Train. ViOage Board in Sessicm At thc meeting of the Village Board last Thursday afternoon it was deeid¬ ed t« shut the village e'ectric lights down to a "moonlight" schedule. This provide* that on clear moonlight nights no street lights will be turned on. If thc nights should be stormy or very cloudy thc lights arc to be bumed. John T. Cotter, asaiatant cnelticer at the power house, in charge of thc municipal plant at night, from 10 p. ra. to 6 a. m., asked for an increase in salary. H« is now rcceiTiiig $27.60 a week without any pay for overtime work. The Board laid over the quea¬ tion until the next meeting. Mr. Cotter said he had been with the village ever since the plant was established, lacking only a few months of 20 years' service. The Board discussed thc purchase of a village service flag. They decid¬ ed thcy had ne legal authority to pnr¬ chase one, bnt would be glad to have personal contributions from residents. J. M. Palmer asked for a street light at coraer of Onslaw Place and South Side Avenae—the Board went down to look over the situation after adjournment. The li«rhtcommitteereported against establishing lights in middle of blocks on Bedell Street as petitioned, as they did not think it advisable to go to the necessary extra expense at this time. A resolution was passed that every man to whom equipment for the Free- port Unit, Home Defense Reserve, had been issued, be requested to return the equipment to the village unless he in¬ tends to remain active in the organ¬ ization. A communication was received from the Fuel Administrator asking that "unnecessary" street lighting be elim¬ inated Thursday and Sunday even¬ ings. The Board approved this and ordered the police to be instructed to this effect., -- Engineer William R. Smith was present and stated that if the plant were operated as at present, by com¬ paring resords of previous years, the lights on the streets would be burned about 1073 hours, and if on the so- called moonlight schedule, 706 hours, which would save over 100 tons of coal. The Board decided, as noted above, that this was worth taking into consideration, the coal now costing around |3 a ton. Leo Fishel, special counsel for col¬ lecting of arrearages, was instructed to send flnal notices to a number of users of water who are in arrears and if payment is not niade within 30 days he is to submit' further report to the Board and secure orders to begin foreclosure actions. Mr. Fishel stat¬ ed that abont |5,030 was involved, fie has collected another $6^00 during the year. Bank Evidences Prosperity The generosity of the Directors of the First National Bank as well as the prosperity of the institution is evi- dsnced by the action of the Directors in voting an additional 15% of the year's salary to each of the employ¬ ees as a Christmas present, and at a recent meeting they voted a semi¬ annual dividend of 6% payable to the stockholders January 1, 1918. Commander Patterson Is Re-elected (Ofliciai Seport) Laist Saturday evening was the time for the regular meeting of the Mott PoBty G. A. R., aad the veterans had a very busy evening. In addition to the regular businsss, there was an¬ nual inspection amf election of offi¬ cers and the annual smoker and oys¬ ter supper. Good evening's work for men beyond 70 yeari of age. Past Commander R. S. Seckerson was inspection officer and after he had completed his work he said the affairs of the Post were in good order. The following oflteers were elected to serve the coming year, there being no contest in any caae: Commander. W. H. Patterson; aenior vice com¬ mander, W. H. Tabb} junior vice com¬ mander, James H.

Rose; quartermaster ser¬ geant, Daniel Waahbum; sergeant major, George Kellogg; delegate to State Department Convention, Elbert B. Rose; alternate, R. S. Seckerson. Installation of officers will take place on the evening of the second Saturday of January, 1918. Commander Patterson has been confined to the house for some three months with rheumatism, but he hired 1 taxi and with the aid of friend.s and his own pluck, which never fails, he was on hand just the same, and never frt-esided with more dignity and feel¬ ing. Out of a membership of about 30, over 20 were in attendanes at the meeting and not a comrade was re¬ ported ill or in distress. MERRICK Thf* eohnaa <a aiitei br Bt. W.

At the church services the young choir rendered several earol» which were very appropriate for Christmas; also a beaatifal Christ¬ mas sermon by Rev. WilUam B. Allis. The Red Cross campaign is doin; fine, having taken in quite a few new members, and the Red Cross night last Thursday was very successful as far as the program was concerned, the tableaux being fine, but we think there might have ben more of our people interested, both Red Cross members and non-members.

Mrs. Elterich in October, 1914, en¬ tered the votes for women campaigm and has since given of her time and energy to the cause, believing, as she claimed, that world woman's enfran¬ chisement is the most important issue in the world today.

Mrs. Elterich is an Ohio woman, and received her education at Obcrlin Col¬ lege. This college was founded in 1834 with co-education as one of its initial purposes. The first circular announced the purpose of the college to be "the elevation of female char- ncter, by bringing within the reach of the misjodged and neglected sex all thc instractive privileges which have hitherto tmreaso.vtbly djiatinguished the leading sex from theirs."

Independent developer Dennaton Games and rogue game publisher Devolver Digital have announced that the award-winning Hotline Miami will arrive on the PlayStation®3 (PS3™) and PlayStation®Vita (PS Vita) this coming spring. Crashing onto the scene last fall, Hotline Miami grabbed the attention of gamers all over the world with stylish sights and sounds, tough as nails gameplay, and a perplexing narrative that garnered Dennaton Games' debut effort awards and nominations from nearly every video game media outlet. Hotline Miami has gone on to sell over 300,000 units on PC and solidified its place amongst the best releases of 2012.
"Our team have been fans of Hotline Miami from the very start and we are absolutely thrilled to have such a brilliant game launch on the PlayStation platform," said Shahid Ahmad, Senior Business Development Manager, Sony Computer Entertainment Europe (SCEE). "The intense visuals and pulsing soundtrack are perfectly suited for PS3 and PS VIta and we can't wait for PlayStation fans to see what Hotline Miami is all about."
Dutch developer Abstraction Games has been appointed to deliver Hotline Miami's trademark style and gameplay to both PS3 and PS Vita via PlayStation®Network under the guidance of Dennaton Games. Hotline Miami will also launch with Cross-Buy allowing gamers to play Hotline MIami on both PS3 and PS Vita with a single purchase. Boom.
"The Devolver Digital team is hyped to see Hotline Miami hit PS3 and PS Vita," said Devolver Digital CFO Fork Parker. "However, this Cross-Buy thing might prohibit me from achieving my long-standing dream of wearing a gold plated PS Vita around my neck. Total bummer."
Follow Hotline Miami on Twitter via @HotlineMiami and become a fan on Facebook at facebook.com/hotlinemiami for more information on the game's progress. For more news on Devolver Digital hotness follow them on @DevolverDigital and facebook.com/DevolverDigitalGames.
I am very, very psyched about this, and I actually own the game on PC via Steam, just have not been able to check it out yet even though I have really wanted to. But this is a great example of a comment I made a couple weeks back on the forums, Sony just seems to no doubt support the independent games more than MS at the end of the day. That is not a bragging thing, just what I view to be a fact. I commend them for it, as these games may have not gotten to console gamers otherwise. I will no doubt be picking this up.

The Anxiety of Saint Joseph (L'anxiété de Saint Joseph)
Betrothed but still unmarried, Mary and Joseph do not yet live together, making the news of her unexpected pregnancy a cause of deep concern for Joseph. Ordinarily industrious, as the curled wood shavings around his feet attest, the carpenter hunches over his bench, lost in thought and unable to work. In the hope of catching a glimpse of Mary, he gazes out at the street as women pass carrying jars filled with the day's water.
Although traditional representations of Joseph show a man of advanced age, Tissot painted him as younger and more robust, arguing in his accompanying commentary that "Rabbinical doctrine" would have regarded the union of an old man and a young girl as a "profanation." He further asserted that the rigorous demands placed on the Holy Family required a man of vigor.

U-T Mock Draft: Full seven rounds
Chargers have a lot of needs to address; Check out all first full version of this year's NFL Draft
(UPDATED: April 24)
The wait is almost over!
Normally, by now we have a good idea of what will happen in at least the top 5. No dice this time around. Everything is still up in the air.
One thing is for sure: Thursday, Friday and Saturday should be interesting.
I've done my best combing through all the lies and speculation to give you an idea of what might transpire at Radio City Music Hall. Here's my final effort of the 2013 NFL draft season. All seven rounds for your mocking pleasure.
1) Kansas City (2-14) — Luke Joeckel, OT, Texas A&M, Jr.
Regardless of how the Branden Albert situation plays out, it would be a mistake to take Eric Fisher over Joeckel. Fisher had a better combine, but the blindside protector of the only freshman Heisman winner in FBS history had the better collegiate career against much tougher competition. His performance against Alabama and LSU cemented him as the top offensive lineman in this draft. Top needs: OT, DE, NT, ILB, S.
2) Jacksonville (2-14) — Dion Jordan, DE/OLB, Oregon, Sr.
New head coach Gus Bradley utilized a 4-3 defense with 3-4 elements during his successful stint as defensive coordinator in Seattle. His design featured a position called the "Leo" — a weakside edge rusher. Jordan's speed would make him a terror in that position. He is a true freak, with ridiculous athleticism and fills a serious need for Jacksonville. He likely helped himself more than anyone else at this year's combine. The 6-6, 255-pound defensive end has natural pass rush skills and is very good in coverage for his position. Top needs: QB, DE, CB, DT.
3) Oakland (4-12) — Sharrif Floyd, DT, Florida, Jr.
With an aging and ineffective defensive line, this pick is a no-brainer for the Raiders. They've added a few pieces in free agency, but no one who could have the impact of Floyd. Some scouts have compared the 6-3, 303 pound tackle to Hall of Famer Warren Sapp. Adding a force like Floyd would go a long way in improving such a porous unit from a year ago. The addition of Matt Flynn makes a quarterback here unlikely. Top needs: CB, OL, DT, LB.
4) Philadelphia (4-12) — Star Lotulelei, DT, Utah, Sr.
It will be hard to pass on Fisher, but the last missing piece the Eagles need for their conversion to a 3-4 is a versatile blue-chip defensive lineman. It appears Lotulelei has finally put his heart condition behind him. He could potentially go No. 1 overall or even to the Raiders at No. 3. Healthy, there's not a better run-stuffer in this draft. Despite facing constant double teams (and even occasional triple-teams) the past two years, he's proven a standout. The mammoth — 6-4, 325 lbs — defensive tackle out of Utah clogs up the middle of the field while still creating his own push. You simply can't block him with one guy. He reminds me Baltimore's nose tackle: Haloti Ngata. Top needs: OL, DT, CB, QB.

So, the producers of HBO's Game of Thrones needed a scene with heads on a pike. Here's one they made and used.
If you're thinking "hey, that looks like George W. Bush!" You would be right. Laughably, the producers say it's not done to make a political statement.
Rather than come up with a response, I'll let the one BigFurHat came up with do the talking.

NXT Tutorial, Part II
Here is part two of Chad Cardwell's instructional video on the NXT. This video deals with NXT programming basics.
Chad is getting a graduate degree in instructional technology and the quality of the video's content reflects this.

Thanks for posting my second video too! Hi-res versions of both videos can be found on my website in WMV format. This second video benefits the most from viewing the hi-res version because of the small text in the NXT-G screen capture.
Just click my name above and you can find the video downloads on my site.

Those two videos are really great. Good introduction to the software environment, and NXT-G
I am sure they will benefit many children around the world!

Thank you for putting these video's on your site in a format other than You Tube. I don't know of a single school that does not block You Tube making it very difficult for teachers to use a lot of the great video's they find at school.

Hey, no problem! I'm paying for the web host, so I'd might as well get my money's worth, right?
Also, thanks for all of the positive feedback, everyone!

What are the advantages of a cloud server?
Put simply, the advantages of cloud server hosting are complete flexibility and cost control. With a 1&1 Dynamic Cloud Server, the amount you're willing to spend per month is under your control. Choosing between our Flex and Advantage (annual) options, you decide how much CPU, RAM or hard disk space you want. Use the handy configuration wizard on our website to see how much you will pay for the processing and storage power you need.
Cloud servers from 1&1 will give you full root access, dedicated resources and a new sleep mode feature, with which your data can be stored on standby for up to six months. Cloud server hosting contains fail-safe security and redundant network storage, protecting you and your data should any network failures occur.
Additionally, you have the option to add up to 99 virtual machines under one contract with a cloud server from 1&1. An interesting feature for cloud web hosting is the brand new 'Snapshot', where you can literally create a snapshot of your configuration at any time, giving you a restore point that you can access in the future.
Are there different packages for cloud server hosting?
While there are actually two different options for a cloud server, the Flex or Advantage (annual) plans, our packages are adaptable and prices vary depending on your requirements. If you would like the ability to be super flexible with no minimum contract period, then our Flex option is perfect for you. Here, you have the possibility to deactivate your cloud server any time you like.
1&1 offers you adjustable cloud server pricing, simply use the price wizard on our website to see how much you'll pay for the configuration you'd like. The Advantage (annual) plan option from 1&1 is great for those who require a more consistent cloud server plan on a fixed-term basis, which can actually save you money in the long run compared to the more flexible and short term Flex plan.
In addition, we'd like to introduce our new pay-per-configuration option for our cloud servers, which is based on an hourly structure. Performance features are billed by the hour, so time is money when it comes to how much you want to get out of your cloud server. Don't forget, initial configurations can be changed at any time.
What are some technical specifications of cloud servers?
Features of the Dynamic Cloud Server are adjustable to suit your needs, however, CPUs range from 1-8 vCores, RAM varies from 1-32 GB and hard disk space from 100-800 GB of available storage space.
Your data is more secure than ever before, with the brand new 1&1 cloud servers that are connected using RAID. With geo-redundancy, your critical data is separated over several hard disks, so using the RAID network, should a hard disk fall for whatever reason, others will keep going and your cloud server won't be damaged in any way. 1&1 cloud servers use a bandwidth that is 100 Mbit/s, resulting in a quick and stable connection to the Internet. Additionally, 2,000 GB of IP data traffic is included in our plans each month. Cloud servers are functional with Linux and Windows operating systems, both equally compatible with server administration software Parallels® Plesk 12, the leading industry tool for admin tasks.
Overseeing the cloud server hosting is the Citrix Xen Server on AMD multicore architecture, giving you the ability to run up to 99 virtual machines on a cloud server from 1&1.
How does a 1&1 cloud server keep my data safe and secure?
The 1&1 data centers are some of the most fortified and technically capable in the US. Data loss isn't something you need to worry about with a cloud server, as daily automatic backup of your data occurs for as far back as the previous 14 days.
In accordance to US regulations, our data security is top of the line, using redundant technology so that if any cloud server hosting issues arise, backup servers will automatically take over and keep your data functioning and untouched.
1&1 cloud servers come fully equipped with an external Cisco based IP firewall, completely free of charge. By using a firewall to safeguard your data, the best cloud servers are protected against the threat of online attacks, such as hackers, viruses and Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS). The 1&1 firewall can be completely configured and turned on or off directly from your control panel with no additional software necessary. You can also monitor any suspicious activity on your website by means of a dedicated smartphone app or via your desktop.
The new 'Snapshot' feature with our Dynamic Cloud Server can save your configuration at any time, giving you the peace of mind that you can manually recover data if the situation warrants.
Is a cloud server right for me?
Flexible cloud server pricing makes this option a unique and viable choice for you. With up to 99 virtual machines and adjustable configuration with the price wizard on our website, the power remains with you to know if cloud servers are suitable for your needs. The Flex package enables you to deactivate your cloud server at any time, however, the Advantage (annual ) package gives you a cheaper alternative for the long term.
Keep in mind that 1&1 offers a one month trial for our Dynamic Cloud Server, with a 30 day money back guarantee if, for whatever reason, you are unhappy with a cloud server. Of course, packages can be upgraded or downgraded depending how much usage you need. Adjustable monthly or upfront payments give you the ability to shape your own price plan for cloud web hosting.
Our expert team can be called or emailed 24/7, so don't hesitate to get in touch if there are any questions or concerns regarding plans or which cloud server hosting package is correct for you. With our high tech data centers, geo-redundancy and a strong focus on data security, we believe that we can offer a cloud server that is perfect for you.

One thing bugged me after watching the highly acclaimed movie "No Country for Old Men" - Why is it called so? I tried to analyze the plot and the sequences and the climax, but I could not understand the significance of the title. How is the title related to the movie?
First of all, the movie is based on the novel of the same name by Cormac McCarthy.
Numerous times in the course of the movie you can see Sheriff Ed Tom Bell (Tommy Lee Jones) expressing his thoughts on a moral corruption in society nowadays and often compares it to the time of his predecessors ("oldtimers"). One example quote taken from IMDB:
Even though Sheriff Ed Tom Bell doesn't appear on screen very often (compared to Chigur and Moss), he is the narrator and the protagonist of the movie. So, the title refers to the moral decline that gave birth to evil (Chigur) and depraved (Moss) individuals and made modern society unsuitable for "oldtimers".
Some links:
The title refers to the idea that the nature of evil has changed, and old value systems no longer apply. Both the movie and the book versions of No Country For Old Men repeatedly touch on how the aging-sheriff protagonist feels he's no longer a match for modern criminals.
Going a little deeper, I believe the title is a commentary on geopolitics in the post-9/11 era. IMHO, evidence suggests Cormac McCarthy wrote the book as a support of the US occupation of Iraq:
-book published in 2005, approximately two years into US's occupation of Iraq, at a time when many critics wanted to bring the troops home
-in book, sheriff tells a shameful story from World War II, when he "cut and ran" from a battle -- the exact terminology used by George W. Bush and others beginning in 2004 to disparage the idea of ending the occupation prematurely
-Sheriff Bell's character was competent in his prime, during the Cold War period leading in to the 1980s -- which could represent how the US policy of peaceful brinksmanship kept the country safe when the opponent was the USSR
-Chigur's character would represent America's opponents post-9/11, which supporters of the Iraq occupation often described as a more-aggressive type of evil, necessitating a more-aggressive defense
-Perhaps significantly, the "cut and run" quote was not included in the movie
The title implies that the sheriff is old and outdated. Unable to handle the crimes of today's crazy criminals.
Llewelyn Moss represents the modern day worker. Who gets caught up in the criminal world. Llewelyn should have been able to make his escape with the money, because he demonstrates a coolness under pressure and modern cleverness. He represents the opposite of the movie's title. His choice to take the money ultimately costs him and his wife their lives.
Anton Chigurh represents the extreme spectrum of criminals. Not even his clients or other hit man can survive his insanity. He kills for reasons that old men would find hard to understand, and the FBI is unable to catch this guy.
Ed Tom Bell the sheriff tracks the killer across country with a calm, collected smooth style where at times it seems nothing can rattle him. At the end of the movie despite the efforts of the FBI to catch the killer. He returns to the last crime scene, and enters the hotel room by himself. Both him and the killer are in the same room, and the killer had the upper hand. Still, Ed is the only character to walk away unscathed into retirement. Why didn't Anton kill the sheriff when he had the chance? because Ed was the only person he actually feared.
At the end Anton is in a car crash and breaks his arm. I'm not sure what the meaning of the event was, but I think it was to present the message that the sheriff was the only one who survived unharmed.
So the sheriff ends up being the best person for the case. Had Llewelyn Moss listen to him to start with he'd still be alive.
It's about the fear of aging/death, and the title is taken from a Yeats poem.
The story is really about the sheriff. He's unable to cope with modernity and continuously refers to how the old days or old timers were and talks as if the world is going downhill.
Moss represents the youthful search for materialism, while Chigurh represents death. Death can happen at any point and you're a victim to fate, which is why AC tosses the coin.
As the sheriff speaks to his brother near the end, his brother tells him a story which basically means the violence he sees is nothing new and he's just distancing himself from it because he's old and vain.
The whole point, IMO, is the world doesn't wait on you and any moment could be your last. The only reasonable way for living is to make your own fire somewhere in the darkness (like his dream about his father) and push your chips out there. Otherwise you're just an old man with nothing left to live for.
The story is absolutely about Sheriff Bell, and despite the fact that the majority of the action focuses on Llewelyn Moss, his story is really only a subplot. The main arc of the story actually concerns itself with Bell's decision to quit policing in the face of what he considers to be unstoppable violence. That is the subtext behind the movie's title, as well as its final lines:
The title of the book refers to how Sheriff Bell comes to understand that he is no match for the current and irrepressible evil that the present world had to offer. Through Bell following Moss and Chigurh in hopes to save Moss and capture Chigurh, he must see every gory act of violence and evil that Chigurh leaves in his path. This is a hard and emotionally weakening experience for Bell, but it helps him come to the realization that evil cannot be controlled, and because of his age and experiences with the law, he is too old to understand the progressive nature of evil and all that it has to offer. He is indeed in "No Country For Old Men" because he cannot deal with or accept the evil the world offers.

"It is a very positive thing for patients to be treated within one health system. Studies have shown that optimal treatment of patients happens better in a multidisciplinary setting, and we can now offer the radiation care, the medical oncology care, and the surgical oncology care for patients who have musculoskeletal complications of cancer," says Dr. Weisstein.
Formerly co-director of the bone and soft tissue tumor service at the University of Washington, Dr. Weisstein specializes in the surgical care of patients with benign and malignant bone and soft tissue tumors. He is the only orthopedic oncology subspecialist in the Valley. "The most common type of patient I see is one whose cancer has spread from a primary site and then affects the skeleton. Many of my patients are young women with aggressive breast cancer who present with an ache in a bone or a fracture."
According to Dr. Weisstein, cells can travel through the body causing new tumors in individuals with advanced breast cancer. This process is called metastatic disease and commonly results in a compromised bone. "The cancer then nibbles at the walls of the bone, weakening its structure," says Dr. Weisstein.
While this condition is serious, Dr. Weisstein notes there are many treatments available to women. "The situation may warrant further chemotherapy or a clinical trial. Treatment options are based on a patient's age, their cancer subtype, whether their hormone receptor is positive or negative, and if they are positive for the BRCA [breast cancer susceptibility] gene — all of these are important factors for determining appropriate treatment and a prognosis."
A patient who is symptomatic is often treated with radiation therapy, chemotherapy, surgery or any combination of the three. Surgery involves reconstruction with metal rods, plates or artificial joints. "We are always prepared for the worst case scenario. We have plan A, B and C ready — everything from plates, rods and screws, to bone transplants, to replacement of the bone with metal constructs, artificial hips, and artificial femurs."
A native Southern Californian, Dr. Weisstein is grateful for the opportunity to merge both of his passions — limb salvage and joint reconstruction. "It is wonderful to work at Eisenhower, which has such an outstanding reputation for orthopedics, and to work in an environment that has state-of-the-art radiation oncology treatments and diagnostic imaging in the form of the most advanced CT, MRI and PET scanners, all of which make the diagnosis and treatment of these patients much easier."

• 2009 MPSF Coach of the Year
The 2015 season is former Triton player Kevin Ring's 10th as head coach of the UC San Diego men's volleyball program.
The 2013 and 2014 Tritons posted program-best fourth-place finishes at the annual UC Santa Barbara Asics Invitational. In 2013, UCSD achieved its first-ever season sweep of USC, the 2012 national runner-up. The Tritons have boasted all-time highs of seven and eight Mountain Pacific Sports Federation (MPSF) All-Academic honorees over the past two years.
Ring's 2012 squad finished with a 9-19 overall record and placed ninth in the ultra-competitive MPSF with a 6-16 mark, narrowly missing a berth in the eight-team league tournament. UCSD recorded upsets over No. 3 UCLA, No. 9 Long Beach State, No. 11 Hawai'i, No. 12 UC Santa Barbara and No. 13 Cal State Northridge. The team strung together an unprecedented five-match win streak in league play, three of those victories coming on the road. For the second straight year, the Tritons climbed to as high as No. 11 in the AVCA national poll.
Outside hitter Carl Eberts and libero Chase Frishman earned All-MPSF honorable mention. Outside hitter Vaun Lennon was tabbed the AVCA National Player of the Week in early April, becoming the third Triton to garner that distinction in the history of the program. Additionally, six players were named MPSF All-Academic in 2012.
UCSD finished with five MPSF wins in 2011, producing upsets at defending national champion and fourth-ranked Stanford, at No. 5 UCLA, at No. 7 UC Irvine, at No. 11 Pepperdine and at home against No. 11 Hawai'i. The sweep at Stanford marked not only the Tritons' first-ever triumph at Maples Pavilion, but also snapped an 18-match home win streak for the Cardinal.
On March 24, 2011, UCSD hosted third-ranked Ohio State and took a four-set victory over the Buckeyes, who went on to win the national championship.
Senior setter Phil Bannan was an All-MPSF Second Team selection after becoming UCSD's all-time leader in assists and service aces. Ring also graduated middle blocker Calvin Ross, who took over as the school's career leader in blocks. Four Tritons were named MPSF All-Academic in 2011.
In 2010, the Tritons were ranked in the top-15 nationally throughout and collected six conference wins for the campaign, including two each over UCLA and Pepperdine. Bannan picked up All-MPSF honorable mention for the second straight year.
Ring led the 2009 squad to the most successful season in program history. The Tritons won a Division II-best 13 matches and nearly qualified for the MPSF Tournament, being eliminated during the final weekend of conference play. UCSD defeated several ranked teams, including a win over UCLA for the second consecutive season. The Tritons finished the year ranked No. 11 in the country and Ring was named MPSF Coach of the Year.
While maintaining a high level of success on the court and in the classroom, Ring and his players have kept a clear focus on giving back to the community. For the past several years, the Tritons have held regular volleyball clinics with Big Brothers Big Sisters of San Diego County.
Before being elevated to the head-coaching position on June 15, 2005, Ring spent the previous nine years as an assistant for the UCSD men's squad. He served as the top assistant for Duncan McFarland in 1997 and 1998, for Jon Stevenson in 1999 and for Ron Larsen between 2000-05. Ring helped guide the Tritons to an NCAA Division III national championship in 2000.
In addition to his duties with UCSD men's volleyball, Ring was an adjunct faculty member in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at the University of San Diego. He also served as an assistant coach for the Torero women's volleyball team in 2004-05.
Ring got his start at UCSD as the men's volleyball team manager from 1989-91 before playing for the Tritons for three seasons.
Ring was the full-time manager for the USA men's national team from 1991-93 and continued on as a technical advisor through 1996. He accompanied Team USA to the 1992 Olympic Games in Barcelona and the 1996 Games in Atlanta. The 1992 squad left Spain with a bronze medal.
To this day, Ring maintains strong ties to USA Volleyball, as he has been aiding women's national team head coach Karch Kiraly and his staff in preparing Team USA for the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio. He helped out during the 2013 USA Volleyball Cup against Japan, and has been present for various training camps in Southern California over the past year. Most recently, Ring joined the team in Bangkok, Thailand, in mid-August of 2014, to serve as an on-court assistant for its final stop of the FIVB World Grand Prix preliminary rounds.
Ring earned two degrees from UCSD, graduating with a bachelor's degree in biochemistry in 1996, followed by a master's in chemistry in 1998. A California native, he grew up in Oregon and played prep volleyball at Sheldon High School in Eugene.
Ring and his wife, Nicole, welcomed their first child, Nathan, in June of 2014. They reside in La Jolla.

My DVDs certainly have English subtitles because when we tried to watch it PBS in America, Sharlene had difficulty in understanding what they were saying, so when I bought the DVDs I checked that they had subtitles and have watched them with those subtitles.

The letters provide links to one of the darkest powers that humanity has ever known, and to a centuries-long quest to find the source of that darkness and wipe it out. It is a quest for the truth about Vlad the Impaler, the medieval ruler whose barbarous reign formed the basis of the legend of Dracula. Generations of historians have risked their reputations, their sanity, and even their lives to learn the truth about Vlad the Impaler and Dracula. Now one young woman must decide whether to take up this quest herself, to follow her father in a hunt that nearly brought him to ruin years ago, when he was a vibrant young scholar and her mother was still alive.
What does the legend of Vlad the Impaler have to do with the modern world? Is it possible that the Dracula of myth truly existed, and that he has lived on, century after century, pursuing his own unknowable ends? The answers to these questions cross time and borders, as first the father and then the daughter search for clues, from dusty Ivy League libraries to Istanbul, Budapest, and the depths of Eastern Europe. In city after city, in monasteries and archives, in letters and in secret conversations, the horrible truth emerges about Vlad the Impaler's dark reign, and about a time-defying pact that may have kept his awful work alive down through the ages.

"A bloodthirsty delight....Both literary and scary, this one is guaranteed to keep one reading into the wee hours." (Booklist)
"Along with all the fascinating historical information, there's also a mounting casualty count, and the big showdown amps up the drama by pulling at the heartstrings at the same time it revels in the gruesome. Exotic locales, tantalizing history, a family legacy and a love of the bloodthirsty: it's hard to imagine that readers won't be bitten, too." (Publishers Weekly)
"The Historian is artfully constructed and atmospheric." (Washington Post Book World)
"Phenomenallly detailed..."
I LOVED this book. It is chock full of historical detail, which, I believe, took the author years to research. The multi narrator format took a little getting used to. I wasn't crazy about Joanne Whaley's voice; it grates on me. It's worth persevering, though.
A few pointers:
*If you're looking for a "vampire" book, beware. The book is more focused on the history and activity of Dracula than on a bloodsucking rampage.
*If you are bored by detailed descriptions of places and history, you probably want to read the abridged or skip the book altogether.
*If you have difficulty understanding foreign accents, beware. There are many nationalities depicted in the book.
*If you're expecting an action-packed plot twister, this isn't your book.
*This book was made to be savored, not gulped down.
"Great immersion entertainment"
This is a pretty good story with a wonderful, complex setting and one of the best narrations I've ever heard.
The story begins slow and hokie, with an uninteresting mystery concerning blank books, and while the characters and the mystery develop and become both enchanting and entrancing, the central hokiness of the premise is hard to set aside. That's why I rated four instead of five stars. The story fulfills enough other promises to transcend those flaws, though.
The charming characters and epic mystery drive this book through incredible settings, each recreated with an intimate feel that makes you overlook the unlikely justifications for getting you there. The language and scholarship is stately and impressive, yet you feel the cushions in the Turkish parlor as one character sinks into them with the relish of a homesick traveler. From American university libraries to churches in isolated villages in Cold War Bulgaria, each place, each era, each character feels genuine. You will at times wonder how the author knows something, how long she must have lived, where all she must have traveled.
And the narrators are some of the best I've heard. They recreate a range of accents and character from Scottish to Romanian, yet they master each, almost as actors interpreting a script.
All in all, this is a wonderful listen, and I've been scouring Audible since hearing it trying to find something that comes close. Easily my favorite Audible purchase. If you are looking for a great epic with strong settings and characters and an interesting tale that rises above its simple plot, give this one a listen. It will immerse you in a world that will be hard to leave once the story ends.
"Worth your time"
The Historian has exactly enough action to keep you interested, exactly enough detail to make it rich, good, solid writing and a complicated and well-developed plot. It's interesting in the beginning and becomes enthralling as it progresses. The readers are great. This book is really worth your time. LIstening to it certainly made painless the mindless labor which of necessity occupied my body while my mind was wandering with the characters.
"Great read!"
Could not put it down, listened every chance I had, on my Zen at work, driving, eating, where ever! Not too long or laborious as some of the reviews say. It all had to be said to understand the work, without all the descriptions it would have been hard to see the places in your mind. I hope her next is just as good. I will keep this one. In a few years may read again.
"New angle of an old story - good fiction"
When I bought this book I was very sceptical. The story of Dracula has been told and re-told, filmed and re-filmed over and over. What would be left to tell? Well, this book for instance. It tells the old bloodsucker's story in a more modern content and with well developed characters. Even the character of Dracula becomes more complex and interesting than the well-known movie vampire. The alternation of readers/actors between a male and female voice makes it a way better than average listening experience. Even though it is a rather long book it never becomes boring. I will try to read more books from the author.
The audio books I get tend to be either 1) scifi or 2) things for my husband and me to listen to on long road trips--humor or history
"Drop by Drop, a pretty engaging read"
Another entry in the genre I like to call "DaVinci Code-esque" in which a nerdy researcher-university type gets caught up in international intrigue while following a variety of research clues that make some nefarious person want to kill them. Throw in the Dracula legend and you have The Historian. Not as frenetically paced as other novels in the genre, it managed to include enough details of vampire lore without leeching the life out of the story and enough details about the characters' inner lives to make it more than a typical adventure story.
The author is good enough to be able to move her plot between several timeframes decades apart without making the book hopelessly complicated. This sometimes overused device works well here to maintain suspense and drip clues to the reader drop by bloody drop.
I enjoyed my audiobook version since I didn't have to carry around this 700+ page behemoth, just load it onto my phone and listen to the wonderful narrators as I took my morning exercise walks through the woods.
"Goood Eeeevening"
While I generally believe details to a large degree build the realism and believability of a story, this one got to be tediously detailed at times. And the depiction of the vampire, which started out scary finally became so hokey it was laughable. So I give it a three. But its non-linear construction is engaging and the characters are compelling and sympathetic. I would recommend it as an interesting, though flawed, literary work.
"this version is really great"
The Historian is one of my favorite books, and this audiobook is fantastic. I can easily distinguish between the characters and the pacing is perfect. The sound quality is great and I don't feel like I have to turn my speakers way up to understand the narrators. Highly recommended!
"i liked it."
Great narration, great(er) story. I hope the author writes more, my only disappointment was in finishing this one and finding out this is the only book she has listed. I've been a audible member for 3 years and this is my favorite book so far. (I missed a lot of subway announcements, train stops, beggars, thieves, and co-workers due to my inability to pull out my headphones ).
"Gripping story"
I am not a part of the current pop fad for vampire novels so I'm not sure why I chose this book, but I'm very glad I did. It's certainly not pop, but rather a deeply thought out story with loving attention to historical detail.
(Sidenote - I have an interest in art and architecture, so I found the descriptions of, for example, Byzantine and Romanesque architecture fascinating, but I don't think they are too esoteric either for the average reader.)
The novel is a long, somewhat demanding, listen, but be patient. Let the story unfold and envelope you, which it does, due to two lovely performances by the male and female readers, and a gripping plot.
The novel follows three historians, one in the 1930s, one in the 1950s, and one in the 1970s, all linked, who are pursuing Dracula and in turn are being pursued by him. The historians are very real people and their stories are emotionally involving, at times bringing me to tears.
The transitions back and forth between the three different decades, and indeed back to medieval times, is very well done and I never felt lost or left behind by the writer.
And of course, this being a vampire story, it should be plenty blood-curdling too, and it succeeds.
My one quibble would be that the finale of the novel feels rushed to me, and the long-awaited confrontation between good and evil not quite as apocalyptic as I wanted.
Also, I had formed an emotional attachment to the Turkish characters who form such an integral part of the middle of the novel, and they are not mentioned at all in the denouement.
Overall though, a very enjoyable journey through time, from one fabulous locale to another, in the company of people I really came to care about. What more can we ask of a novelist?

Hollywood, in conjunction with Mayors Against Illegal Guns (Second Amendment hater Mike Bloomberg's pet project), have an answer for gun violence. Thank God. I was wondering when the people who get paid to make pretend in front of a camera would tell me what to think about complex political issues.
Let the over-compensated shitbag moralism commence!
I know I feel way more enlightened by watching Sarah Silverman and Will Farrell put on their best acting school pouty-faces.
This video came out a few weeks ago, and I wasn't going to comment on it.
Fortunately Youtube contributor Ma5one picked up the slack with his own rebuttal.
Seriously, Hollywood.
The entertainment business makes a fortune glorifying guns and gun violence. Ask Beyonce's hubby Jay-Z how many records he would've sold if he'd pushed a consciousness rap style rather than his big pimpin' pistol-poppin' persona. When Jon Hamm isn't playing a chain-smoking boozed-up scumbag, he's a gun-toting tough guy. The only film where Jamie Foxx isn't spraying a Bushmaster like a garden hose is "Ray", and that's only because the title character is a blind piano player.
Then these same moronic drugged-out degenerates, who require an army of stylists, hairdressers and make-up artists just to get out of the house, think they can lecture the rest of us about guns.
Here's a hint for conservatives: Hollywood hates you. They loathe your politics. They despise your traditional faith. They do everything they can to denigrate your lifestyle choices.
Oh, don't get me wrong. La-La Land loves your money. They don't get paid if you don't buy their wares.
Now, I'm not saying you shouldn't watch movies or tv shows or listen to music. You don't have to pull out of the culture. That's sorta silly and counter-productive.
Instead of boycotting the entertainment industry, subvert them and their cretinous morality. Mock them anywhere, anytime and anyhow you can. Laugh at them without mercy.
They like to think of themselves as the brightest stars in America's enlightened class. If that's the case, how come they all talk the same way and think the same way and whine the same way about every fucking thing ever? Make fun of their brainless herd mentality. Hit them where it hurts, their faux-intellectualism. Get past their outer crust of smug do-goodery. They know they're idiots. Constantly remind them–and everybody else–of that fact.
Make them live by their own rules. For instance, Hollywood actors push radical environmentalism every chance they get. Meanwhile, they have carbon footprints bigger than some countries. None of these hypocrites could live the ascetic goat-herder lifestyle they demand we embrace.
It really isn't that hard. These are people who have to be told what to say and what to do and where to shop. Other people write their scripts and pen their songs. Besides playing guitar, impersonating somebody else and shooting heroin these people have no discernible talents. They're actors and musicians, for God's sake. We're not talking about rocket surgeons.

I hear Bloomie is starting another organization called Mayors For Keeping Subway Deaths in Perspective.
Every time Jamie Foxx tries to say something politically or socially relevant, his statement must be accompanied by this image.

Whenever I see a Hollywood star or startlet look all sincere-like at the camera and beg Americans to do something I act! I make a mental note not to go see their latest craptatsic movie.

[…] all tax hikes, no spending cuts and a whole lot of kabuki theater nonsense. The media remains a statist bullhorn and progressive piggy bank all in one. The education establishment is committed to indoctrinating […]

Whenever I see a celebrity endorsement for a product, they've lost me as a potential customer. If it is a good product, it will speak for itself. And why do celebrities so rarely address starvation/poverty issues in the US? Because it doesn't garner enough attention. They don't endorse any charity unless they have a relative suffering from the ailment. It's PR, not charity.
