you probably don't have an opinion on poetry
Now, I could easily write a critical take on all this. I read a poem that is better than 2,000 years old the other day and enjoyed it; you can make your own judgment about the longevity of the Downton Abbey recap you just wrote. But really, it's not necessary. Poetry-- like long-form fiction, orchestral music, abstract visual art, and difficult movies-- needs no defense. Poetry is to be enjoyed. If you don't enjoy it, don't read it. I read hand-wringing pieces about whether the kids these days are reading great novels, and I'm always perplexed. Who cares? I read them. I don't care about whether other people are interested, nor do I associate reading novels with virtue. It affects whether I'm interested in someone romantically and impacts whether I find someone interesting, sure, but outside of the aggregate impulses of friendship, why does it matter?
Where things become dicey is in the enforcement of dislike. Many people experience anxiety about media and culture they have a vague notion they're supposed to like. I am sorry that they feel that anxiety. They shouldn't! I think young people should be exposed to lots of different kinds of art and media, but once you're past the age of taking a curriculum, yuo should enjoy what you enjoy and not worry about the rest. But that doesn't excuse efforts to undermine other people's enjoyment. Depending on how charitably you read this piece, you can call this either the Dan Kois effect or the reverse Dan Kois effect: I consider myself a sophisticate, yet I don't like a certain kind of artwork, therefore I must undermine the very possibility of someone else liking it. This is uncharitable, and bound up with the endless signalling and personality assembly that underlies our digital media. Because I'm a masochist, I did a Twitter search for "poetry sucks" and "poetry is bad" and a few similar terms after the inauguration. The results were as you might expect.
(I would suggest that if as an adult you saying something that is indistinguishable from an eight grader complaining about his English teacher, you might reconsider.)
Now, I can't manage to occupy the headspace that would dismiss an entire medium; it's like saying "movies are bad." I haven't seen every movie so I can't say what all movies are like. You can certainly say "I don't like movies," and while I would suggest that you try a few more, it's your prerogative. And you can say "most movies don't really rise to a level of being good art." I've said the same about video games, in the process of defending them as an art form. But even with those more limited statements, you'd probably want to be vaguely familiar with the landscape. I mean I wouldn't want to say that most movies are bad if I haven't seen more than a dozen in the past year.
So my suggestion is that if you can't name five contemporary poets writing today, if you haven't read a collection published in the last five years, if there was no poem that could have been read that would have made you happy, if you don't have favorite poets-- you probably should just stick to "I didn't like that poem" or "I don't enjoy poetry." In that case, jam on; it takes all kinds. It's okay not to like things. The universalizing impulse is a problem, though, and likely not generated by an honest reaction but rather to be seen in a certain way by your peers. I would argue that if you know nothing about poetry and say that it's all bad, you don't have an opinion, a reaction, or a feeling. You have a signal.

The point I would take you up on is that there's little connection between immediate, narrow-minded reactions and whether or not people enjoy reading poetry or novels (or put another way, that it is wrong to have ill-informed reactions but that it matters little if people enjoy reading literature). I'm not sure if there's data to back up this assertion, but I've found that reading disciplines the mind in a way few other endeavors can. It probably isn't the only way to discipline the mind, but in my personal experience it has been a way both to broaden my awareness of diverse perspectives (present and past -- some very far past) and teach me to talk to myself in an honest and ongoing way. Reading -- seeing just how many other ideas and realities my own thoughts are up against -- has taught me the value of holding off on my own opinion until it has matured and been tested against others. The time spent alone with my own thoughts (and the ideas of those I'm reading) is usually the most productive in terms of contemplation and reassessment. I would argue this is because of the intense engagement and concentration a medium like the written word demands. (This is the reason I think reading is unique, but I have been talking about my own personal experience of reading here because I'll at least acknowledge that it might not be the only way people learn, concentrate, reflect on ideas, etc.)
My question for you is whether you see a connection between the unpopularity (from what I can tell) of this kind of reading and the kind of ill-informed, emotional, knee-jerk expressions you're criticizing. I personally think it does matter that reading -- not even complicated reading, either -- is not the same kind of pastime it was when baby boomers were growing up. I don't really care if people aren't reading much poetry, or complicated novels -- I think it's fine to leave those to the people who enjoy them. But many adults and young adults don't even seem to have reading -- sustained, focused reading of a single book or a long article or two, which is not the same as reading bits and pieces online every morning -- in their daily lives as a means of concentrating their minds and humbling them a little bit. I would much rather students be taught the value of this type of reading in and of itself (no matter the material) than be forced to contemplate certain types of literary writing only to end up resenting all book-reading.
Am I making a false connection between these two? This is something I contemplate often and I'd be interested in your take.

Per the comment by "Unknown", this was also harder than I thought. I think of myself as "liking" poetry but realistically poetry occupies less than 5% of my leisure reading, and I read a collection of new poems only every few years. I was able to name 5 living poets only after asking myself a few variations of "Is [poet first active in postwar period] still alive and working?" A.E. Stallings is the only poet that came to mind who is in my general age group.
It is true that one of the nice things about poetry is that you can zip back and forth in time a bit -- I recently re-read some Emily Dickinson, and over the past few years I read some minor 20th century poets like Phelps Putnam and David Schubert.

"I read hand-wringing pieces about whether the kids these days are reading great novels, and I'm always perplexed. Who cares? I read them. I don't care about whether other people are interested, nor do I associate reading novels with virtue."
What's that stat, like 40% plus of college grads never reading another book? Great novels, hell, any novels. I know this might sound a touch caustic, but as like, a fucking educator, one might think you'd care about the epidemic of illiteracy in this country. I've got news for you, Boilermaker, most college students in America can't get their subjects and verbs to agree. Worse yet, this lurch to ignorance is all part of the plan. A dumb as rocks populace succored digitally is so much easier to manipulate. But, yeah, keep going on about how what you consume doesn't define you, a parlor discussion among elites.
Chris Hedges discussed this a few years back:
We live in two Americas. One America, now the minority, functions in a print-based, literate world. It can cope with complexity and has the intellectual tools to separate illusion from truth. The other America, which constitutes the majority, exists in a non-reality-based belief system. This America, dependent on skillfully manipulated images for information, has severed itself from the literate, print-based culture. It cannot differentiate between lies and truth. It is informed by simplistic, childish narratives and clichés. It is thrown into confusion by ambiguity, nuance and self-reflection. This divide, more than race, class or gender, more than rural or urban, believer or nonbeliever, red state or blue state, has split the country into radically distinct, unbridgeable and antagonistic entities.
There are over 42 million American adults, 20 percent of whom hold high school diplomas, who cannot read, as well as the 50 million who read at a fourth- or fifth-grade level. Nearly a third of the nation's population is illiterate or barely literate. And their numbers are growing by an estimated 2 million a year. But even those who are supposedly literate retreat in huge numbers into this image-based existence. A third of high school graduates, along with 42 percent of college graduates, never read a book after they finish school. Eighty percent of the families in the United States last year did not buy a book.

Maybe the real issue here is that (a) most people are not encouraged to try out different forms of cultural expression - for the majority, if it can't be downloaded straight into our smartphone and read off a screen, too much effort is involved in accessing it, and (b) people are not encouraged to think CRITICALLY about the media with which they're engaging. It's OK to engage with a poem/play/film/book/artwork and come to the conclusion that you hate it - and you can learn a lot about yourself and the world by exploring WHY you hate it. But that's a completely different thing from deciding you have a blanket dislike of every art form which takes a bit of effort.
I've got some sympathy for Anonymous's concern that this lack of critical thinking goes much deeper than just a tendency to blanket-dismiss the cultural arts. This may be just one symptom of a much deeper societal malaise - and one that happens to be quite convenient for the vested interests of the world. I don't think it's a coincidence that many of the world's revolutionaries were also poets, novelists and playwrights.

I think this argument might prove too much or may have larger implications. What do you think of mandatory humanities training via English classes in high school or the like. I think there's many good argument for optional classes, but if we don't care, should we just let people drop them and focus on other areas? Alternately, if you'd favor a no mandatory classes model, should we be encouraging students to take those classes even if they don't enjoy the material?

"We live in two Americas. One America, now the minority, functions in a print-based, literate world. It can cope with complexity and has the intellectual tools to separate illusion from truth."
Right, this minority of which you speak, the NPR-listening, New Yorker-reading iconoclasts (and whoever their right-leaning equivalent are), are our only hope.
This is precisely the reason that I've never bought into the idiocracy thesis. From where I sit, some of the most idiotic stuff I see is made and consumed by my upper-middle class, over-educated peers. This just seems like another way of enforcing a false-elitism and blaming everything on the proles.

Yeah, that was soooo exactly his point. That the sheeple should be euthanized, clearing the deck so the intellects among us can have it out, ideally in riotous blog-fare. It couldn't be that he was just pointing out and bemoaning an obvious reality, that our educational system is a colossal, mindfucking failure at all-but-elite levels or that this is what allows the machine to churn across the landscape unopposed.
Of course some of the most idiotic tripe is churned out by folks like Yggles and Ezra. After all, fellas gotta get paid. But Hedges is hardly Mencken (he of the "booboisie") or even Matt Taibbi carping about peasants.

The U.S. Department of Education recently rolled out its proposal for the RESPECT Project(Recognizing Educational Success, Professional Excellence and Collaborative Teaching).
The project is described as a national conversation led by active classroom teachers working temporarily for the department to help provide input on the administration's 2013 budget proposal, and on the broader effort to reform teaching.
"Our goal is to work with educators in rebuilding their profession—and to elevate the teacher voice in shaping federal, state and local education policy," said Secretary of Education Arne Duncan at the launch. "Our larger goal is to make teaching not only America's most important profession—but America's most respected profession."
But the new program needs Congressional approval as part of President Obama's 2013 $69.8 billion education budget proposal and that's no guarantee. The administration is proposing a $5 billion competitive grant program to encourage states to reform the teaching profession, using the Race to the Top school improvement competition as a model.
Officials say RESPECT would challenge states and school districts to work with teachers, unions, colleges of education and other education stakeholders to reform the teaching profession.

With just two days to go before the all-important clash between the arch-rivals, Indian captain MS Dhoni has highlighted the toss of the coin as being a crucial factor in determining the outcome of the series. Dhoni suggested that the two teams were evenly matched, hence it was vital to gain an early advantage by winning the toss.
"Winning the toss will be crucial because dew may have an impact. If you see both the sides, they are quite same. Their ability to play spinners is quite same. I think it will be nice couple of games," he said after the last-ball defeat to England in the second T20I.
Fans around the world are eagerly awaiting the start of this series, but MS Dhoni played down the hype, pointing out that every India series is important, and that the players were used to the pressure. "Tell me one series which is not big for us" he said. "Whether we play England, Pakistan, Australia or any other series. For us it is all the same."
"That is how we look at it and don't really look into who we are playing because that can only increase the pressure. We keep it very simple, whoever the opposition is. We look at the format and try to execute our plans."
India have recently completed a grueling four-match test series against England, and will compete in the ODI series against them in the New Year, immediately after the Pakistan tour. Dhoni advised his players that if the non-stop cricket schedule was taking its toll on anyone, they need to tell the BCCI to avoid injuries. "As an individual, if you feel that playing a series or the next few games you may get injured, which may take you out of the game for six to eight weeks, then it is better off to tell BCCI that you need some rest because you won't be available if you play a few games so it's crucial."
"I am not worried about too many series happening because I am someone who loves to play cricket. Maybe a few years from the other end will be shortened because of the amount of cricket we play.
"But it is a good thing because you are always playing the best bowlers in the world and the momentum keeps you going. I am not worried about too many games."

The Alabama State baseball team continued its record-setting start, manufacturing a run in the ninth inning to beat Troy 4-3 on Tuesday night, handing the Trojans their second loss of the season.
Dexter Price led off the ninth with a walk and was replaced by pinch runner Marcus Swint at first. A pair of errors by the Trojans on throws following sacrifice bunts allowed Swint to score from second base.
"Once again, we pitched very well and gave ourselves a chance to win," ASU coach Mervyl Melendez said. "(Starting pitcher Anthony) Ricciardi did an excellent job and kept us in the ball game. He was very tough. Against a good opponent you have to pitch very well, and I thought the key to the game was our pitching. The bullpen came in and did the job as well."
Alabama State (8-1) will face Kennesaw State today at 4 p.m. at Wheeler-Watkins Complex. Troy (5-2) held the Hornets to a season-low five hits but walked five batters and hit five with pitches.
"I thought both pitchers did a very good job," Melendez said. "This is the first time we didn't outhit or outplay our opponent and still found a way to win. It was a very close game that could have gone either way, but the willpower and energy our guys had willed us to the victory."

How to Build a Solid Financial Foundation
So, you are a new graduate who followed my advice and took the month of July to get your finances in order. Now you're wondering where to start investing. Here are five easy rules of thumb to get you started.
Congrats if you are thinking about saving and investing this early on in your career. As I showed last month, starting early gives you tremendous opportunity to let compound interest work for you. So let's concentrate on where, and in what order, you should invest your money.
It is particularly important for you to contribute to the plan if your employer provides a match for your contributions. Check the formula that your employer uses for the match. Usually it's a certain percentage match on the first few percent of your income and then goes down from there.
So, why do all of this? First, placing money in a 401k reduces your taxable income so you pay less taxes. Second, there are restrictions and penalties for withdrawing money from a 401k, so it removes the temptation to take it out and spend it.
However, for a bit more effort you can set up a solo 401k plan, which is just like an employer 401k except that you are the only employee. There are two main advantages to a solo 401k over the SEP IRA. First, you can contribute more money to a solo 401k at lower income levels than you can with a SEP. For example, if your income is $200,000, the SEP limits your contribution to $40,000, but with a solo 401k you can contribute the full $49,000 ($32,500 is classified as an employer contribution and $16,500 is an employee contribution). The second advantage is that your $16,500 deferral can be classified as a Roth 401k contribution if your plan allows it. What this means is that you will not get a tax deduction now for that amount, but your earnings will grow tax free and withdrawals during retirement will be tax free. The downside to all of this is that there are far greater administrative headaches to a solo 401k.

Bowling alley makeover
By Deborah Martin : January 3, 2013 : Updated: January 3, 2013 3:12pm
Photo By Helen L. Montoya/SAN ANTONIO EXPRESS-NEWSRaymond Elliot, Missy Miller and Michael Berlet, who most recently ran the Harlequin Dinner Theatre, are opening a new theatre complex. When completed the former bowling alley turned performing arts complex will include two theatres (main-stage and black box), four dance studios, restaurant, grill, bar, and dance apparel/ alterations shop.

After leaving the Harlequin Dinner Theatre last fall, Missy Miller and Michael Berlet spent a lot of time looking for a new space.
"The idea was to find a place to put studios, and rent a place (to produce) shows," Miller said.
Instead, they found a place where they could do it all: The one-time Wonder Bowl, a massive bowling complex at 1948 Austin Highway that closed last summer.
The couple and business partner Raymond Elliot, aided by volunteers, have spent the past month or so ripping out lanes, ball returns and the other stuff of bowling alleys. Once that's all gone, they'll begin transforming the building into a venture they've dubbed the Carmack Performing Arts Complex, a nod to the family that's owned the place since 1958.
"The Carmack family has been very supportive of us," Miller said.
In addition to housing Miller and Berlet's theatrical productions, the space will be home to Image Dance Company. The plan is to provide rental space to other performing arts groups, as well.
If all goes according to plan, the 45,000-square-foot building will house two theaters, one a black box and one a 200-seat space designed to accommodate the musical revues that Miller and Berlet have focused on of late; several studios for dance and other performing arts classes; a restaurant and bar; and a dance apparel shop.
"It'll be a one-stop shop," Elliot said.
They will keep two of the bowling lanes open, possibly to be used for private parties and other outings, and plan to hang plenty of photos paying tribute to the building's history. There's also lots of storage space, which will allow Miller, Berlet and Image head Michelle Angulo-Pacheco the room to stash all of their costumes.
"It's a big project, but the advantage is we have so much space," said Miller. "It's going to allow us to grow."
The partners have signed a 15-year-lease on the property, Miller said.
Angulo-Pacheco will start moving her classes — which include flamenco, hip-hop, jazz and ballet — into the space this month.
Miller and Berlet have staged their first show in the place. They did "Santa's on His Way," a children's show, last month in a performances space they jury–rigged in the former arcade.
The plan is to have the main theater ready to roll by Jan. 26, when Miller and Berlet plan to open a Vegas-themed revue.
The work will continue on the rest of the space for a few months after that, they said.
They're excited about the potential of the space.
"It's like, 'We bought a zoo!'" Miller said, laughing. "You know that movie? We keep joking about that — we bought a zoo!"

Indonesia's new rule requiring foreign firms to divest majority ownership of mines applies to every miner and will form part of a planned renegotiation of all existing contracts, senior government officials said on Friday.
Firms with existing "Contract of Work" agreements signed before the new rule have mostly said the regulation did not apply to them and would only apply to firms holding newer "mining business licenses", but government officials deny this.
"There is a clause in the contract that if there is something that needs renegotiation, that can be done. So, why can't we do it?" deputy mining minister Widjajono Partowidagdo told Reuters, adding renegotiations will include divestments as well as royalties.

Now, I did search for the answer to this question, but had no luck. I think perhaps it is too stupid to have ever been asked before?
I'm trying to pump up my high-pressure tyres (the ones with the very thin nozzles) but am having difficulty getting any air in. I connect the pump to the nozzle as per the instructions but all I seem to be able to do is pump up the pressure in the hose to my desired level, without any air getting into the tyre.
I guess, before I blame my pump/tyre, it's probably best to look to the pump operator, so I'm hoping someone can please explain what I should be doing so I can try that first?

Frivolity over a dark score
Posted: November 30, 2012|
MOZART'S comic opera Cosi Fan Tutte (literally – so all women behave) with its artificial and scandalous storyline is one of his most effervescent and witty scores. The entire plot can be summed up in the familiar aria, La Donna è Mobile (Women are Fickle) from Verdi's Rigoletto.
Transporting the action, originally set in Naples, to a British (probably Welsh) seaside resort in the early Sixties works extremely well. Producer Benjamin Davis and designer Max Jones have created an end of the pier atmosphere complete with Italian ice-cream parlour, deckchairs and Punch and Judy tent by some clever staging.
The principal characters match the period – the shifty Don Alfonso, who bets that the fiancees of the two sailors Guglielmo and Ferrando will not remain faithful if they are tested after the two men have pretended to go away to war. In the test, the men return thinly disguised as distinctly sleazy holiday camp red-coats. Baritone Gary Griffiths makes a suitably boastful Guglielmo while tenor Andrew Tortise's Ferrando is a more diffident, lighter character. For the girls, Fiordiligi, Guglielmo's fiancee, is the quieter one, whereas her sister Dorabella is very much the drama queen.
The superficial frivolity of the text and Mozart's matching delicate score conceal a darker and more misogynistic sub-text. Egged on by the worldly and cynical maid Despina, the girls fail the test and eventually succumb to each other's fiancee.
The first act is narrative-rich and the musical lines tended to become subservient to all the business on stage. In Act II, the music fills out and Fiordiligi (Elizabeth Watts) has the one distinctive and difficult aria in which she prays for forgiveness for her infidelity.
The final scene, after the new couples have undergone a pretend marriage ceremony, the men eventually reveal themselves. Is it a happy ending? The stormy music and the downpour of rain that descends upon the crowd suggests perhaps not.

Carotid Artery Disease
Vascular services are often used to diagnose and repair blood vessel conditions in your head and neck. A common blood vessel condition in your head and neck is carotid artery disease (also called carotid artery stenosis).
What is carotid artery disease?
Carotid artery disease is the narrowing of your carotid arteries, two large blood vessels that supply blood to the front part of your brain. Your thinking, speech, personality, and sensory motor functions are located in this part of your brain. The narrowing is normally caused by plaque buildup, a condition called atherosclerosis.
What are symptoms of carotid artery disease?
Some people have no symptoms of carotid artery disease until they suffer a stroke. Signs of a stroke include:
- Sudden loss of vision, blurred vision, or difficulty seeing out of one or both eyes
- Weakness, tingling, or numbness on one side of your face or body, or in one arm or leg
- Sudden difficulty in walking
- Loss of balance and coordination
- Sudden dizziness and/or confusion
- Difficulty speaking (aphasia) and/or swallowing (dysphagia)
- Sudden severe headache
What causes carotid artery disease?
The narrowed carotid arteries are unable to pump an adequate amount of blood to your brain. If carotid artery disease is left untreated, you are at an increased risk for stroke, a condition in which blood flow is cut off from part of your brain.
What are the risk factors for carotid artery disease?
Some common risk factors for carotid artery disease include:
- Smoking
- High blood pressure
- High cholesterol
- Diet high in saturated fat
- Diabetes
- Obesity
- Sedentary lifestyle
- Personal history of coronary artery disease
How is carotid artery disease diagnosed?
Since there are often no symptoms of carotid artery disease until you have a stroke, it is important to see your doctor regularly for physical exams. Your doctor may use a stethoscope to listen to the arteries in your neck, listening for evidence of blockages.
If your doctor suspects you have carotid artery disease, he or she may perform the following tests:
- Carotid ultrasound: a non-invasive test that uses high-frequency sound waves to view carotid arteries.
- Magnetic resonance angiography (MRA): an imaging test that uses radio waves, a magnet, and often contrast dye to create images of your carotid arteries and brain.
- Computerized tomography angiography (CTA): an imaging test that uses X-ray, computer technology, and contrast dye to create images of your carotid arteries and brain.
- Cerebral angiography (carotid angiogram): a minimally invasive procedure that uses X-ray and contrast dye to see your carotid arteries in real time.
How is carotid artery disease treated?
Your doctor may recommend that you make the following lifestyle changes:
- Quit smoking
- Keep high blood pressure and cholesterol at healthy levels
- Manage diabetes by eating a healthy diet and taking prescribed medications
- Eat a healthy diet low in saturated fat, trans fats, cholesterol, and salt
- Maintain a healthy weight
- Exercise regularly
- Limit alcohol consumption
Your doctor may also recommend that you undergo a procedure to improve blood flow in your carotid arteries. Some of those procedures include:
- Carotid endarterectomy (CEA): a procedure in which an incision is made in your neck where the blockage is located and the plaque and damaged parts of your artery are removed.
- Carotid artery stenting (CAS): a minimally invasive procedure in which a small incision is made in your groin. A catheter is guided through this incision to the narrowed area of your carotid artery. A balloon tip is inflated to open your artery, and a stent is inserted into your artery and expanded to keep the artery open permanently.

Taggart Shines At Quarterback

In four games played so far this year, he has connected on 98 of 152 attempts for 1,201 yards and six touchdowns with only one interception. Last week at New Hampshire, Taggart completed 40 of 57 passes for a career-high 412 yards and two touchdowns, in addition to rushing for 55 yards and two scores on 12 carries. With that performance, he placed third on the Holy Cross single-game lists for both completions (40) and yards of total offense (467), while ranking ninth for passing yards (412). Previously in the victory over Harvard, Taggart hit on 22 of 35 passes for 320 yards and a touchdown, while rushing for 34 yards and a score on nine attempts. During the Colgate game, he completed 13 of 16 passes for 223 yards and two touchdowns, in addition to rushing for a score. In the season opener against Massachusetts, Taggart hit on 23 of 44 attempts for 246 yards and a touchdown, while rushing for 15 yards and a score on nine carries. Last year, he connected on 185 of 317 passes for 1,899 yards and 14 touchdowns, in addition to ranking second on the team in rushing with 284 yards and five scores on 85 carries. A few of Taggart's top performances in 2010 came against Lafayette (accounting for 246 yards of total offense and four touchdowns), Fordham (27 of 37 for 289 yards and a touchdown, plus 75 rushing yards and a score) and Howard (17 of 29 for 186 yards and three touchdowns). During his career with the Crusaders, Taggart has now completed 285 of 471 passes for 3,103 yards and 20 touchdowns, in addition to rushing for 409 yards and 10 scores on 121 carries. He currently ranks ninth all-time at Holy Cross with 285 career completions.
Holy Cross Against The Ivy League
The Crusaders have enjoyed a good deal of success against Ivy League opposition during Tom Gilmore's tenure as head coach. Holy Cross stands 14-9 against Ivy League foes under Gilmore's direction, including a 1-0 mark so far this season. The 14-9 mark over the last eight years includes a 6-1 record against Dartmouth, a 4-1 mark against Brown, a 3-5 record against Harvard and a 1-2 mark against Yale. The Crusaders' all-time record against the Ivy League stands at 107-138-9 (31-21-3 against Brown, 6-2 vs. Columbia, 0-5 against Cornell, 35-35-4 vs. Dartmouth, 24-39-2 against Harvard, 3-2 vs. Pennsylvania, 3-7 against Princeton and 4-27 vs. Yale).

Balanced Group Of Wide Outs Excel For Holy Cross
The Crusaders have a number of outstanding weapons in the passing game, and three of those wide receivers had career days during last week's game at New Hampshire. Sophomore wide out Kyle Toulouse (Arlington, Va.) led the way with a career high 13 receptions for a career-best 110 yards against the Wildcats, tying for second place on the school single-game list for most catches. Overall this season, he now leads the team with 24 catches for 261 yards and one touchdown. Sophomore wide receiver Mike Fess (Caldwell, N.J.) caught 11 passes for 95 yards and a score at New Hampshire, also setting career highs for both receptions and receiving yards. On the year, he has totaled 20 receptions for 225 yards and a score. Junior wide out Gerald Mistretta (Brooklyn, N.Y.) also set new career highs for both receptions and receiving yards against the Wildcats, totaling six catches for a team-best 136 yards and a touchdown on the day. Overall this season, he has caught 15 passes for 246 yards and two touchdowns.
Offensive Line Paves The Way For Success
The Holy Cross offensive line is once again one of the most dominating units in the Patriot League this year. In four games played so far this season, the line has paved the way for the Crusaders to average 28.8 points and 418.8 total yards per game. Holy Cross has also allowed only four sacks, while attempting 153 passes this year (just one sack for every 39.3 times the team has dropped back to pass). The most experienced player on the line is senior left tackle Mike McCabe (Watertown, Conn.), who has been named All-Patriot League in each of the last two seasons, and has played in 40 career games with 29 starts. Senior center Sean Whited (Canton, Ohio) has played in 16 career games with 12 starts, and junior right tackle Kyle Pedretty (Dunedin, Fla.) has 15 career games played and 15 starts. In addition, junior left guard Casey Bessemer (Jacksonville Beach, Fla.) has played in 15 career games with four starts, and senior right guard Andrew Jameson (Brockton, Mass.) has played and started four career games.
The Last Meeting With Brown
Bill Edger caught seven passes for 61 yards and two touchdowns, as Holy Cross posted a 17-13 victory over Brown at Fitton Field on Oct. 9, 2010. The Crusaders opened the scoring at the 5:12-mark of the first quarter on a 31-yard field goal by Rob Dornfried. Holy Cross then made the score 10-0 on the first play of the second quarter, when Ryan Taggart threw a 12-yard touchdown pass to Edger. Brown came right back with a five-yard scoring run by Mark Kachmer on its next possession, and the score was 10-6 after the extra point was blocked by Jack Maliska. The Bears then went up 13-10 with just 26 seconds left in the second quarter, when Patrick Donnelly threw a seven-yard touchdown pass to Tellef Lundevall. Brown was still up by three points early in the third quarter, when the Bears were unable to get a punt off under a heavy rush, giving the ball to Holy Cross at the 13-yard line. But the Crusaders could not take advantage, as three plays later a 25-yard field goal attempt went wide right. But on its next drive, Holy Cross took a 17-13 lead when Taggart found Edger for another 12-yard touchdown. The Bears would have three possessions in the fourth quarter, but the Crusader defense stepped up every time and the final score remained 17-13. Holy Cross stopped Donnelly for one-yard on fourth-and-goal at the five-yard line, before Alex Johnson intercepted a pass to end Brown's next drive. Then on the final play of the game, Ricky Otis recovered a fumble at the 50-yard line after several laterals. Otis finished the game with a team-high nine tackles, as the defense limited the Bears to just 336 yards on 73 plays. Chandler Fenner added five tackles with a tackle for loss and a pass breakup. Taggart hit on 19 of 29 passes for 196 yards and two scores, while splitting time with Kevin Watson, who completed 12 of 18 attempts for 135 yards.
Trio Of Seniors Lead Linebackers
Senior linebacker C.J. Martin (Plano, Texas), senior linebacker Ricky Otis (Cleves, Ohio) and senior linebacker Jimmy Thomas (Severn, Md.) are once again key parts of the Holy Cross defense in 2011. Otis currently ranks second on the team with 33 tackles so far this season, including one sack and four tackles for loss. He totaled nine tackles and one sack last week at New Hampshire, after previously recording 10 tackles with two tackles for loss against Massachusetts and nine tackles against Colgate. Last season, Otis led the team with 108 total tackles and earned first team All-Patriot League honors, despite missing two games due to injury. He reached double-figures in tackles six times in 2010, including a career-high 17 tackles at Lafayette. Over the course of his Holy Cross career, Otis now has 168 total tackles, two fumble recoveries and two pass breakups. Martin has made 24 tackles in four games this season, to rank fifth on the team. Martin's top game so far in 2011 came at New Hampshire, when he totaled nine tackles and one sack. He ranked second on the team with 95 total tackles last year, including 61 solo stops and two tackles for loss. Martin recorded double-digit tackles four times in 2010, with a high of 18 tackles at Massachusetts. Over the course of his collegiate career, Martin has now recorded 152 tackles, five tackles for loss, two interceptions and three pass breakups. Thomas has totaled 15 tackles, two tackles for loss and an interception so far this year, despite missing a game due to injury. During the victory over Colgate, he had 10 tackles, one tackle for loss and a 60-yard interception return for a touchdown. Thomas previously recorded 35 tackles with five tackles for loss in 2010, after totaling 67 tackles, nine tackles for loss and four sacks in 2009. Over the course of his Holy Cross career, Thomas now has 119 tackles, 16 tackles for loss and five sacks.
Crusaders Look To Post Another Winning Season
In 2011, Holy Cross will attempt to finish with a winning record for the seventh year in a row. The Crusaders concluded the 2010 season with an overall mark of 6-5, after going 9-3 in 2009 (marking only the ninth time in the school history the team has won at least nine games). Holy Cross previously went 7-4 in 2006, 2007 and 2008, and its 36-20 mark over the last five seasons is its best in a five-year span since going 39-15-1 from 1989-1993. Holy Cross also posted a winning record in 2005 (6-5), and has an overall mark of 42-25 since the beginning of the 2005 campaign. This marks the first time the Crusaders have posted six straight winning seasons since finishing with a winning mark in seven straight years from 1986-1992.
Fenner & Zitnik Star At Corner
Senior cornerback Chandler Fenner (Virginia Beach, Va.) and sophomore cornerback Andrew Zitnik (Warren, Ohio) are both enjoying strong seasons in the Holy Cross secondary. In four games played so far this year, Fenner has recorded 27 tackles, an interception, a forced fumble and a team-high seven pass breakups. During last week's contest at New Hampshire, he led the team with 12 tackles and forced a fumble to set up a game-tying touchdown in the fourth quarter. Fenner previously totaled seven tackles, an interception and two pass breakups in the victory over Harvard, while posting four tackles and a career-high three pass breakups against Massachusetts. Last season, he earned first team All-Patriot League honors after finishing with 58 tackles, one quarterback sack, two tackles for loss, four pass breakups, a forced fumble, a fumble recovery and a blocked punt. Over the course of his Holy Cross career, Fenner has now totaled 117 tackles, one interception, three forced fumbles and 11 pass breakups in 37 games played. Zitnik ranked third on the team with 30 tackles so far this season, to go along with one interception, one sack and two pass breakups in the first three games this season. During the victory over Harvard, he led the team with nine tackles and returned an interception 97 yards for a touchdown. Earlier this season, Zitnik made 11 tackles and broke up a pass against Massachusetts. He has now made 33 tackles over the course of his collegiate career, in addition to returning 18 kickoffs for 474 yards (26.3 average).
Crusaders In The Patriot League
Now in its 26th season of play in the Patriot League, Holy Cross owns an all-time record of 78-61 (.558) in conference action. The Crusaders won their last conference championship in 2009, clinching the title with a 28-26 victory over Lafayette to earn the league's automatic bid to the NCAA playoffs. Holy Cross' six Patriot League championships (all of them outright) have come in 1986, 1987, 1989, 1990, 1991 and 2009. The Crusaders are tied for the second-most championships in conference history, behind only Lehigh with nine titles. In 2009, Holy Cross won five Patriot League games for just the fourth time in school history. The Crusaders previously went 5-1 in 2008, while posting 5-0 conference records in 1990 and 1991.
Schneider Shines At Tight End
Senior tight end Alex Schneider (Inver Grove Heights, Minn.) is once again a key part of the Holy Cross passing game in 2011. In four games played so far this year, Schneider has caught four passes for 54 yards. In 11 games last season, he ranked fourth on the team with 30 receptions for 217 yards and a score. During the 2010 victory over Fordham, Schneider totaled four catches for 31 yards and a touchdown. An All-Patriot League selection in each of the last two years, Schneider finished the 2009 campaign ranked fourth on the team with 33 receptions for 275 yards, while his six touchdown catches were the second-most on the squad. He ranked second among Patriot League tight ends in both receptions and receiving yards in 2009, and finished the 2009 season with a streak of 10 straight games with at least one catch.

An Academic All-American at Pennsylvania, Gilmore graduated in 1986 with a bachelor's degree in computer mathematics. He was the Ivy League Player of the Year as a senior and helped lead the Quakers to four consecutive Ivy League titles.
Tradition Of Excellence
The 2011 campaign marks the 116th season of Holy Cross football. The Crusaders currently own an overall record of 601-474-54, good for a .556 winning percentage. Prior to the start of the 2011 season, Holy Cross' 599 all-time victories ranked as the 16th most among all Division I-AA schools. Holy Cross has had 31 first team All-America selections, sent 69 players on to professional football, won five Lambert Cups, claimed six Patriot League championships, and was named the Division I-AA Team of the Year in 1987.

Football Legends Ring Of Honor Inducts Second Class
The athletic department at the College of the Holy Cross recognized four former football standouts on Sept. 1, as the second class of the Crusader Football Legends Ring of Honor. George Connor (1942-1943), Bruce Kozerski (1980-1983), Jon Morris (1961-1963) and Joe Wilson (1970-1972) were honored in a ceremony prior to the UMass game, and received permanent recognition at Fitton Field. Only former Crusader football players who have been elected to the Holy Cross Varsity Club Hall of Fame are eligible for this honor, which is an annual event each fall. In 2010, the inaugural class in the Crusader Football Legends Ring of Fame included, Gill Fenerty (Class of 1986), Gordie Lockbaum (Class of 1988), Edmund Murphy (Class of 1943), Bill Osmanski (Class of 1939), Vince Promuto (Class of 1960) and John Provost (Class of 1975).
The Captains
Holy Cross has three captains during the 2011 football season. Senior offensive tackle Mike McCabe, senior linebacker Ricky Otis and senior quarterback Mark Tolzien (Rolling Meadows, Ill.) were named the team's captains by head coach Tom Gilmore following the conclusion of spring practice. These three players have taken over the leadership role from Anthony DiMichele, Sean Lamkin and Freddie Santana, who served as the Crusaders' captains during the 2010 season.
Holy Cross Draws Huge Crowd For Season Opener
During the season-opening game against Massachusetts on Sept. 1, a total of 15,942 fans showed up at Fitton Field. That marked the largest home attendance for the Crusaders since Oct. 20, 1990, when a crowd of 17,848 was on hand to watch Holy Cross defeat Lehigh 34-22. The Crusaders have played in front of numerous home crowds of over 25,000 in their history, prior to the stadium renovation in 1986 which reduced the seating capacity to 23,500. The largest unofficial attendance at Fitton Field was 27,000 for the Holy Cross-Brown game on Nov. 11, 1938.
Defending The Home Turf
Holy Cross has enjoyed great success at Fitton Field over the years, and has a 2-1 mark at home so far in 2011. The Crusaders, who played their first game at Fitton Field in 1903, have posted an all-time home mark of 365-168-27 (.676). From Oct. 11, 2008-Oct. 9, 2010, Holy Cross had a streak of 13 straight victories at home. The Crusaders had a perfect 6-0 mark at Fitton Field in 2009, and finished the 2010 campaign with a winning record at home for the fifth straight season. Fitton Field is the second-oldest stadium still used for Division I college football, behind only Franklin Field at the University of Pennsylvania (opened in 1895).
Offense Has Efficient Day
The Holy Cross offense turned in an outstanding all-around performance during the 37-7 victory over Colgate. The Crusaders totaled 403 yards from scrimmage on just 52 plays, good for an average of 7.8 yards per play. Holy Cross also scored points on five of its six possessions during the first three quarters of the game, with four touchdowns and one field goal. The only drive during that time on which the Crusaders did not score was a one-play possession at the end of the first half, after taking over at their own nine-yard line with just 41 seconds remaining before the intermission. In addition, Holy Cross did not attempt any punts during the entire game. That marked the first time the Crusaders did not punt since Oct. 31, 2009, at Fordham (a 41-27 Holy Cross victory in which neither team punted).
Holy Cross Has Three Preseason All-America Selections
Three different Crusaders have been chosen as preseason All-Americans heading into the 2011 campaign. Senior linebacker Ricky Otis was honored by two organizations, as he was selected as a second team All-American by the FCS Senior Scout Bowl and an honorable mention All-American by the Beyond Sports Network.
