Missouri State Penitentiary Tours
Editor's Review
Opened in 1836, the Missouri State Penitentiary was one of the nation's longest-operating prisons, housing felons for more than 150 years. This prison is so old, it received its first prisoner while the Alamo was under siege, and it operated for 100 years before Alcatraz opened. At one time, the Missouri State Penitentiary was the world's largest, with 5,200 inmates. After being closed in 2004, the prison reopened its doors for public tours in mid 2009 and has become one of Jefferson City's most popular tourist attractions. A two-hour tour describes the prison's history and includes stories of its most famous inmates (including Sonny Liston and Pretty Boy Floyd) and details about daily life for the prisoners and their guards. Guides share some of the creative ways inmates tried to escape and display an assortment of prison equipment, from barber chairs to pool tables, some of which will likely end up in the prison museum currently under construction. The Missouri State Penitentiary is not for everyone. For starters, there's a lot of stair-climbing and walking, often over rough terrain. Wear closed-toe shoes for safety, bring your own water (especially during warm weather) and take a small flashlight. Beyond the physical challenges, the State Pen may be kind of creepy for some. In the 1950s and 60s this prison was called "the bloodiest 47 acres in America" for the number of inmate deaths. Especially disturbing is the visit to the prison's gas chamber, where guides typically go into some detail about the executions that occurred there.
If your taste runs to the creepy though, take a nighttime ghost tour. These atmospheric tours cover similar territory and information as the daytime ones with the twist that the stories detail hauntings. As the guide told us: "I've had experiences I can't explain." It is the perfect venue for such a tour: dark cells, peeling paint, abandonded furniture, and pitch-black darkness of the dungeon.

Southwest NM Forest Proposing To Close Roads
By KRWG News
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. – The opponents plan a rally Saturday in Silver City against closing roads.
Eighteen groups are expected to participate, and Republican Congressman Steve Pearce says he'll speak.
Gila officials acknowledge they're proposing a major change.
Currently, the southwestern New Mexico forest is largely open to driving cross-country.
The forest plans to limit vehicles to designated roads and restrict vehicle camping to areas along the sides of roads or near them.
Officials say they're trying to strike a balance with the Gila's watershed, wildlife, plants, air quality and cultural resources.
National forests and grasslands were told in 2005 to designate which roads and other areas would be open to vehicles.

Ben Nelson has reportedly not been satisfied by Senate Democratic efforts to scale back the tax extenders/jobs bill languishing in their chamber, and has indicated he would vote against the new version of the bill. The cost has been reduced from $140 billion to $118 billion, and the provisions on closing the carried interest loophole have been softened.
Ben Nelson, D-Neb., said Thursday morning that he continues to oppose the bill because its costs are not entirely offset.
"It's still not paid for, fully paid for, is it?" he said. "Then nothing's changed."
The CBO estimates that the bill would add $55 billion to the deficit. This is a rounding error over the long term. The cost to pay 900,000 people unemployment benefits, the cost in lost consumer spending, the cost of other automatic stabilizers, cuts that deficit number in half. And over the long term, job growth is the only real way to cut the deficit.
Moreover, the public supports stimulus spending to create jobs by a wide margin. That's because the medium-term employment outlook is so depressingly bleak:
Leamer explains that significant reductions in the unemployment rate require real gross domestic product (GDP) growth in the 5.0 percent to 6.0 percent range….The forecast for GDP growth this year is 3.4 percent, followed by 2.4 percent in 2011 and 2.8 percent in 2012, well below the 5.0 percent growth of previous recoveries and even a bit below the 3.0 percent long-term normal growth. With this weak economic growth comes a weak labor market, and unemployment slowly declines to 8.6 percent by 2012.
The effects of long-term unemployment for millions of people, with a shockingly high 8.6% unemployment rate by 2012, are staggering. But not to Ben Nelson (from Nebraska, a state which has a much more manageable unemployment problem, it should be noted), who would rather kick millions more out of their jobs and consign the rest to years of suffering.
UPDATE: Take a look, if you will, at Nelson spokesman Jake Thompson's rationale for why the deficit matters more than creating jobs. As you can see most of it is parochial – Nebraska has a 4.9% unemployment rate, so why should I care? That would be a fine approach for the Governor of Nebraska – Nelson was one – but not a federal lawmaker setting national policy. Ezra makes quick (if too respectful) work of the rest.

Gifted Children & Albany Schools
My son will be entering kindergarten this upcoming fall. We live in the Albany school district. He is a naturally curious boy and is already reading beginner books, with consonant and vowel blends. For math is he doing simple one-two digit addition. I'm concerned that the 3-hour public school curriculum won't be enough to keep him engaged. And the after school options don't offer much in way of enrichment. Can someone who has a child at a similar level offer some kind of feeback (good or bad) about the Albany public schools and what their children do there? I love the idea of a local neighborhood school, but want to meet his needs and curiosity. Thank you in advance for your feedback.
I know in 2003 people have said that gifted children will not be
happy in Albany schools
but I wondered if anyone had stuck with them and found any
Our child is in one of the elementary schools now and is finding
the work too easy. I also remember how being in a GATE program
was very supportive when I was young, and think that's important
for gifted children. What have other parents done and why?
left for private schools? If so, which ones?
found accommodations at the school?
had your kid skipped a grade?
stuck it out until high school and honors classes? Was it worth it?
other solutions?
My understanding of the Albany argument against the GATE program
is that so many of our kids would test into it. Apparently no
one has ever confronted them and said that the standards then
ought to be raised or a more creative curriculum introduced at
all levels so that kids can excel and not stagnate, waiting for
other kids to catch up to them
Thinking about switch to private
If you are the parent of a very bright child, I think you might find Albany schools disappointing. As has been noted on this group before, Albany schools do little or nothing for gifted and talented children--at least as part of the official curriculum.
The problem is mitigated in K-3 because of the smaller classrooms, due to the state class size reduction program. But grades 4-8 don't have much to offer gifted kids. At the high schools, kids can pick from a reasonable selection of honors and AP courses. There are clubs and after school programs, but they don't help with the problem of boredom in the classroom.
Albany schools do a good job of bringing average and below- average kids up to a pretty high level. But if your child is already performing above the level, they will just be used as test score fodder.
As the dissatisfied parent of a gifted child, my advice is to seriously consider private schools or some other alternative to Albany schools if you have a gifted child. Anonymous

A huge smile formed on Debbie Mills face as soon as she saw the water of the Newberry Street fountain in downtown Aiken turn teal on Friday.
I couldnt help but think about the thousands of people who will see this and wonder what its all about, Mills said.
Mills is the founder of Gails Anatomy, a Relay For Life team that was organized to spread awareness about ovarian cancer. September is Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month and teal is its signifying color.
City Council approved turning the water in all three downtown fountains teal as well as the placement of teal ribbons on trees and lamp posts. On Friday, Gails Anatomy members, city representatives and other supporters grabbed a bottle of teal dye and together poured it into the Newberry Street fountain.
Its just gorgeous, said friend and supporter Tabatha Benack, co-owner of Power Cuts. Its the perfect color.
The city has turned the downtown fountains green for St. Patricks Day and orange for Halloween, according to Public Service Director Tim Coakley, but Gails Anatomy is the first outside group to add color to the water.
Gails Anatomy was also established to keep the memory of Mills daughter alive. Her only child, Gail, died of ovarian cancer on Feb. 14, 2007 at the age of 30. Gail always received her annual check-ups and there was no history of the disease in her family but a mass was found four months before her passing, Mills said.
An estimated 15,250 women lost their battle to the disease that year.
But Gail was more than a statistic, she was my daughter, Mills said through her tears Friday afternoon.
Mills decided to take the experience of losing Gail and share the story with others in hopes to save lives. Mills said early detection is key.
Ovarian cancer is often considered a silent disease the symptoms are vague and its difficult to detect.
Tying up ribbons and turning the fountains teal is just one way to gain attention and get people to ask questions, said Gails Anatomy Co-captain Alicia Owens.
This is huge this is big for Gails Anatomy, Owens said about the fountains, adding that they started out making small ripples in a big pond, but those ripples are starting to reach more and more people.
Aiken City Mayor Fred Cavanaugh helped turn the Newberry Street fountain teal on Friday. Cavanaugh is all too familiar with the disease himself, as his mother-in-law lost her battle to ovarian cancer at the age of 52.
I think this is a wonderful thing to do, a wonderful cause. This is about awareness, Cavanaugh said. This will be a reminder when people drive by and see the teal.
URS sponsored turning the Newberry Street fountain teal.
Were very proud to be a sponsor and a supporter of ovarian cancer awareness and the American Cancer Society, said URS Spokeswoman Amy Joslin. Its a great cause for the city to stand behind by allowing them to turn the fountains teal.
Mills thanked all of Gails Anatomys supporters, including Coakley for meeting with her several times to make sure that the color was just right.
In Jackson, Mills hometown, billboards and teal bows are displayed. Desserves in downtown Aiken is offering teal cupcakes this month and other businesses are showing their support, as well, through various displays.
Lastly, teal Cure Life shirts designed by Allegra are for sale for $25 if mailed or $20 if picked up at a Gails Anatomy event. Proceeds go towards research and awareness efforts.

Freezing Mozarella
Question or maybe a poll type response on the title question. Can mozarella, or certain types/forms of mozarella be frozen? I've read everything from "yes for a couple of months" to "never freeze fresh or buffalo milk mozarella". What prompted this was my belief that the simple answer is no, but I was taking a food related quiz and the comment on the question was "mozarella is actually one of the few cheeses that improves with freezing! I'm thinking most chefs/cooks don't usually like to use frozen cheese because it isn't the same as fresh. However, I'm reading that mozarella "authority" Paula Lambert says it's fine.

This past weekend we went on Layla's first road trip. Destination: Grandpa & Grandma's house in Wichita!
Sadly, I had to make this first dual child road trip flying solo, because Kyle had to stay here for two training events we had for students on Friday night & Saturday night. We're obviously all still alive, so we'll call it a success.
I'm kind of mad that I didn't take a picture of both Landon & Layla packed up in the car for our first road trip. I guess I was preoccupied with getting us and all of our stuff there with no major catastrophes. (Have I mentioned that I am SO glad we got a minivan right before Layla was born? I can't imagine making our trip to Gulf Shores for Kaleo this summer in a car. I'll gladly claim the "Mom Van"). This was also Landon's first road trip since the very beginning of January, so it was like a whole new experience with him as well. He cried and then happy talked/screamed for the first hour of the trip and then finally fell asleep for about 45 minutes. Thankfully Layla slept through all the noise.
Of course the main point of the trip was for all of my extended family to get to meet Layla, but Landon had a fabulous time getting so much playing attention and I had a great time seeing everyone as well! On Saturday we were able to drive down to nearby Mulvane where most of my dad's side of the family lives to see everyone.
|Visiting my Grandma at her nursing home
|Sound asleep on my Aunt Eileen's shoulder
My cousin Drew & his wife Jessie had a little girl, Isabella, just three weeks after Layla was born! It was fun to get to see their sweet girl just a week after she was born (although it made me sad that Layla's already a month old, sniff sniff)
Saturday night my brother and his wife were able to come over for dinner to meet Miss Layla! Landon had a blast playing with them though, so I'm pretty sure he thought they were there just for him :)
|Uncle Daniel!
|Aunt Cassie!
Of course, Grandpa and Grandma had to get plenty of play and snuggle time in with their grandbabies.
Another fun part of the trip was taking Landon & Layla to my dad's office Friday morning to visit my dad's boss & coworkers who I know, and mostly so proud Grandpa could show off his cute grandkids. My dad is an accountant, so it's stressful tax season time for him, so I think our visit was a nice break. Landon also lent his help to finish off the big company tax return my dad's working on.
Future accountant in the making? Not with my influence, that's for sure! Although it would be nice if Landon could carry on doing our tax returns every year after my dad retires :)
I also tried to take advantage of having a third party available to take pictures of me with Landon & Layla since that's a rare occurrence.
Landon apparently missed the memo to take advantage of this opportunity.
At least Layla sat still :)
All in all, we had a great time! We made it back all in one piece and no worse for the wear, and of course with lots of new clothes for Landon & Layla they got from people for Easter (plus some new dresses for me! My mom & I left the kids with my dad briefly so I could have an uninterrupted trip to WalMart. Yes!) Thanks for letting us come visit Grandpa & Grandma!!

It's the final installment of my three-part series on cupcakes! Are you excited? I'm excited.
Pictured: Butterscotch Cupcakes with Vanilla Buttercream
We baked great cupcakes in Cupcakes 101, learned frosting techniques in Cupcakes 102, and now we're on to the main event – the decorations! Decorating cupcakes is SO SUPER FUN, and the decoration will determine the level of "oohs" and "aahs" you get when people first see your cupcakes. The cake itself will wow them as soon as they take a bite, but it's whatever creation you've placed on top that will initially grab their attention.
I chose not to include any decorations involving fondant, gum paste, or modeling chocolate, because those techniques can be complicated and time-consuming. Also, most home cooks don't have those techniques in their repertoires. My goal with this list was to offer quick, easy-to-make cupcake toppers that will wow a crowd without sucking up all of your free time.
Here are 14 of my favorite ways to top a cupcake with a "wow" factor! [Read more…]

Today I'll be joining a roundtable discussion hosted by the New York Council for the Humanities for its incoming class of public humanities fellows. I was asked to prepare a "top-ten list" for public humanists looking to get started in digtial humanities, and with the help of friends on Twitter, I came up with the following:
10) Enter the circle (read, tweet, blog)
9) Start with partners
8) Attend THATCamp
7) Write grants, not papers
6) Release early and often
5) Stop worrying about the definition of DH
4) Digital is always public
3) Must. Try. New. Things.
2) Break something
1) Lather, rinse, repeat
Instead of explaining this advice in prose, I decided to put together a video. Here it is.
N.B. As my mother always told me, "do as I say, not as I do."
I'm pleased to be offering a workshop at "Digital Pedagogy and the Undergraduate Experience: An Institute," hosted by the University of Toronto Scarborough. My presentation, "Shaping (Digital) Scholars: Design Principles for Digital Pedagogy" [pdf], offers a framework for designing assignments and other learning activities that help students develop digital fluencies and cultivate expertise in digital scholarship. I sketch out on three principles for digital pedagogy: hands-on/minds-on learning; networked, collaborative learning; and play. To make the principles concrete and furnish inspiration, I offer a couple of examples under category (including some of my favorites from previous talks). I also look at some of the challenges facing this approach to teaching, such as evaluating student work and helping students develop technology skills. The workshop concludes with a hands-on, collaborative activity to design an assignment that realizes at least one of the principles of digital pedagogy.
When creating the concept for the exhibition Under the Skin, I investigated the use of human tissue in medicine from 19th century pathological museums to today's biobanks containing small samples of frozen tissue. On the surface the museum and the biobank are very different kinds of places. But on closer inspection? We are easily led by images, metaphors and rhetoric. To start with the imagery, it could hardly be more different. The medical museum with its Victorian display in wooden vitrines and the recognizable body parts carrying a mixed sense of humanity and death. Contrast that with the blue lit, clean surfaces and robotic handling of unrecognizable samples depicted on the websites of the recently founded national biobanks.Museums and Banks
Also the metaphors of "museum" and "bank" indicate different functions. Museums are associated with the past and their role is to study and conserve old materials. The bank is a place for safeguarding resources for the future, growing them and returning them with interest. This image is supported by the rhetoric surrounding large national biobank projects. For instance, at the opening of the Danish National Biobank the minister of research stated that 'The currency of this bank is biological samples and the return is research results that will benefit the whole population'. But what happens if we look more closely at the practices in biobanks. During a recent visit to the new Danish National Biobank on entering a top modern lab equipment I saw a group of lab assistants working with a pile of old, black
boxes full of cards and large books with hand-written registrations. They were pulling out staples and registering information on computer. At the same time old blood samples from cardboard boxes were transported in from storage and repacked. The activities looked exactly like repacking and registering historical collections in museums. And indeed this was what was taking place. The Danish National Biobank holds several highly valuable collections of older diagnostic samples, which together with the comprehensive registration of health data in Denmark provides unique possibilities for associating biomarkers and genetic profiles with the disease history of the sampled persons. My claim is thus that the seeming differences between collections in medical museums and those in biobanks are misleading. That although the laboratory revolution has changed medicine immeasurably, it has not changed the fact that medicine is a collection science. And although medicine is not normally regarded as a collection science – in the way of natural history – collecting is a continuous and ongoing part of generating medical knowledge.Collecting in Pathological and Anatomical Museums
To start with the pathological collections in the medical museums, these were collected with a view to categorizing and thereby understanding disease. With the rise of hospital medicine in the 19th century patients were gathered in wards and it became possible to compare cases. When the outcome was bad patients were often dissected and it was thereby possible to document the lesions in the organs together with the case history containing symptoms of the living patient. The collections thereby served a way to accumulate medical experience in material form, which could be studied away from the chaos of the clinic. The cases from the past could thereby be used to improve and sharpen new diagnoses because both the physical symptoms, the internal lesions and the final diagnosis were known. This materialized experience was carefully registered and stored in pathological collections.Collecting in Biobanks
As medical interest shifted towards the cellular level and later to molecular biology, the collections contained smaller and smaller samples of tissue. Microscope slides were kept in archives and investigated through microscopes, and samples of blood and other tissue preserved in freezers and analysed biochemically. Starting with small collections of individual researchers, collections grew along the same pattern as the anatomical and pathological collections to large institutional collections. National biobanks took off in the early 21st century with the aim to gather collections capable of representing a whole population. A main aim is to collect samples from citizens and then follow the development of their health and disease. The data and samples collected allow researchers to match diseases with particular biomarkers and thus make diagnostic predictions both earlier and more precise, and to choose the best treatment for patients once diagnosed. In this way it is only when collections becomes "historical" will they become truly useful as the full case history has infolded. One valuable collection of this sort is the collection of blood samples taken at neonatal screeningin Denmark where health data and genetic analyses of blood samples from 1982 and onwards can be matched to develop better diagnostic techniques.
On the surface there appears to be a change from the museum where specimens are investigated with sight and scalpel to the biobank where samples are investigated in the laboratory. This fits well with the story of laboratory revolution that changed biology and medicine into lab sciences. It is, however, possible to nuance this story and show that collection did not disappear in biomedicine.Medicine as a Collection Science
If we broaden out the notion of scientific methods drawing on John Pickstone's Ways of Knowing (2010) we can distinguish a number of scientific "ways of knowing" such as reading, collecting, analyzing, experimenting. Pickstone sees a historical development through the different practices, but emphasizes that they can coexist. And this is what I believe is the case in the biobank, where museum-style collection practices coexist with experimental laboratory techniques. The importance of collection practices in laboratory science has also been noted by the historian of modern biology, Bruno Strasser. He has drawn an analogy between collection in natural history museums and various forms of collection in molecular biology such as proteins, serum and genetic data. The connection is, I argu e, even stronger in the case of medicine where we can trace a continuous and ongoing focus on collection in medical research. Neither of these two authors, however, focus on the materiality, but it is exactly the fact that collections contain actual physical samples that is central in collection sciences. Physical specimens and samples contain latent knowledge i.e. it will be possible to uncover new knowledge from the sample as questions and methods change. Physical specimens are, of course, also formed by specific interests at the time of collection, but they are amenable to new questions in the future. To sum up, pathological collections and biobanks resemble each other in the following significant ways.
The ongoing importance of collections and collection practices thus means that:
Comparing the two institutions also bring out important aspects in both. Modern biomedicine is often characterized as disembodied because tissue culture and data crunching seems to be removing it from real bodies. The biobank collections, however, show how the physical samples of particular patients are regarded as essential. As for pathological museum collections, these have been shown in recent years to be less rigid in the categorisations than has previously been assumed. So instead of museums being of the past and biobanks for the future, both may be seen to use the past to answer future questions. This material was presented as a paper at the British Society of History of Science Annual Meeting 2014 in St. Andrews. It will also appear in a slightly different form in the volume: Tybjerg, K. (forthcoming in 2014) "From Bottled Babies to Biobanks: Anatomical Collections in the 21st Century" in The Fate of Anatomical Collections, R. Knoeff & R. Zwijnenberg (eds). Ashgate Press.

Google's answer brings up some interesting news articles, but Bing brings up stats on the teams and even a prediction of who will win (Cortana - which is driving these predictions - has been doing a perfect job of predicting game outcomes).
The forthcoming exhibition Under the Skin will display the heart blood of the medical museum – the anatomical and pathological specimens – as part of a longer history on the uses of human material in medicine leading up the biopsies and blood samples in biobanks.
The main exhibition principle is simple, instantly graspable and captures essential features of the historical development of medicine. Objects in the exhibition will be ordered according to scale ranging from the whole body to its molecules: Full skeletons and embryos, organs in glasses, biopsies, slices of tissue on slides, blood samples and DNA snips. The principle of scale draws on the materiality of the objects, but at the same time mirrors a shift in medical interest towards smaller and smaller units. Scale is:
The point of departure of the exhibition is the whole body, which was the main unit of medical investigation up to the 18th century. The whole body is, however, only present in the exhibition in the shape of the bodies of the visitors. The first objects exhibited are skeletons and foetuses. Although they are clearly recognizable to us as individuals, they already show the body as opened and divided.
Next step on the scale are the preserved organs. Anatomizing the body was the prevalent mode of investigation in the expanding pathological collections of the 19th century. Diseased organs were cut out and displayed together to form a new whole. They mapped out a landscape of malady where the individual body disappears. Disease was identified with the lesion and the preparations highlight it by isolating it from the rest of the body.
As microscopes allowed tissue and even cells to be studied we move from visible to invisible structures. Small lumps of tissue are prepared, sliced finely stained and studied through microscopes to show the cells of the body and possibly diseased changes. The exhibition shows both the biopsies and the structures revealed by the microscope thus bridging between the visible and invisible.
Research in the latter half of the 20th and into the 21st century has focused on the molecular level – the next level down the scale. Today large amounts of tissue and blood are gathered and stored in biobanks for investigations into the biochemistry of the body. Tiny blood samples taken from new-borns make it possible to investigate genetic and biochemical processes that make disease likely, and to diagnose before any symptoms appear.
At the end of the exhibition the individual body has been not just anatomized but atomized. Divided into immateriality and stored as information. In the code for DNA our individuality may be seen to re-emerge. The mapping of the genome in 2003 did not, however, provide a single key to understanding the body. Medical science still needs to investigate at the whole scale of the body as well as its interaction with the surrounding world. At the end, the visitor is – together with biomedical science – sent back through the scale in the never-ending process of understanding the human body.
The concept poses important questions:

Up front; I'm extremely confused as to what is going on in my State right now: I'm about to graduate from the Federal OCS program and return back to my home state of NH on August 23 for battle hand-off. 2 weeks ago I notified my state OSM that I would be graduating from FED OCS on August 21st. Afterwards the CW5 that runs our RSP said that I needed to send them. 1. A copy of my orders sending me to OCS 2. Copy of my College transcripts 3. Last APFT I completed 4. My medical records. All of this was required for the "Federal Recognition Board" to allow me to commission in the state as well. I've been trying to get a clear answer as to how this FED REC Board process works. They told me it's really just a "check in the box" formality but I have a few concerns 1. My GPA for my undergrad wasn't stellar; it was a 2.46 and I'm worried that they might "refuse" to recognize my commission after completing OCS. 2. Is this board process really just a check in the box at this point? 3. I've been constantly asking if they have ID what unit I'm going to be assigned to upon returning home and they say that they are working on it, as they need to know that before submitting my FED REC packet. OCS has been super stressful and now that it's ending I can't tell if I'm just being paranoid. Any help here is much appreciated

I actually still enjoy this shampoo from time to time. I don't normally purchase the whole three in one body wash, shampoo, conditioner products but this one is on point. Smells nice and clean and leaves hair really clean, no oiliness left behind. The bottle looked small but it's actually lasted a very long time because of the small amount it takes.4
I took a chance on TOWELDRY Thickening Shampoo and wasn't blown away with the result. While I like the smell (reminiscent of ivory soap), i feel like the product is harsh on my hair. They aren't wrong when they said it will make your hair squeaky clean -- that's code of dry and uneven. Wont be buying this product again.2

Yarmouth splits lacrosse doubleheader
Boys race past Scarborough, girls drop close one to Kennebunk
YARMOUTH— Slow starts put both Yarmouth lacrosse teams behind the eight ball Tuesday night.
Both squads were eventually able to rally, but only one wound up with a 'W' in an entertaining evening showcase of the sport.
The boys got things started, falling behind Scarborough 3-1 before erupting for 10 second half goals in a 13-6 victory in a battle of defending state champions.
The girls found themselves down 3-0 and 5-2 to Kennebunk before roaring back to take the lead in the second half, but the Rams got the game's final two goals and held off a furious Clippers' rally to send Yarmouth to its initial defeat of the 2009 season, 8-7.
Sloppy then superb
The boys entered Tuesday's game riding 58-game winning and 61-game unbeaten streaks on their home field. Yarmouth has been pretty formidable on the road as well in 2009 and the defending Class B champions had won their first four contests by a combined 61-12 margin.
Scarborough, which won Class A last season, started 2009 with wins over Falmouth, Massabesic, Deering and North Yarmouth Academy, but Friday night, the Red Storm were humbled, 12-1, at Portland.
The teams met on Opening Night last spring and the Clippers dominated the host Red Storm, 19-6.
This time around, the game would, for the most part, be much tighter.
Yarmouth appeared to be in good shape when it took a 1-0 lead 38 seconds in when senior Peter Erickson scored unassisted. Erickson, however, would soon be sidelined by a rib injury and the Clippers' offense began to struggle, turning the ball over five times in the first period. Scarborough pulled even with just 2.4 seconds to go in the frame when junior Matt Mayo took a pass from senior Brendan Ham and fired a shot past Yarmouth junior goalie Cam Woodworth to make it 1-1 after one.
Turnovers and penalties continued for the hosts in the second period and the Red Storm took advantage, going up 3-1 on goals from senior Nick Broadhurst (assisted by sophomore Peter Moore) and Moore (who scooped the ball off the ground past Woodworth with his team a man-up).
Finally, with 2:18 to go in the first half, the Clippers snapped a 21 minute, 4 second drought and pulled within 3-2 on an unassisted goal from senior Rob Highland. A mere 25 seconds later, Yarmouth tied the game when junior Evan Henry scored unassisted.
The Clippers had an edge in faceoffs and shots, and forced 15 turnovers, but found themselves deadlocked at the break.
Yarmouth would take the lead for good at the 8:08 mark of the third period. Junior Mike Johnson did the honors, taking a pass from classmate Steven Petrovek and beating Red Storm senior Ryan Kane to make it 4-3. Senior Jake Gallagher (from Henry), Henry (man-up, from Highland), and junior Colby Shields (unassisted) followed to give the Clippers a 7-3 lead after three.
"We just settled it down and started playing our game instead of getting penalties," Henry said. "We came out strong in the second half. We calmed down and became ourselves. It took us awhile to realize (Kane) was left-handed and to get on his other side. It's good to be aggressive, but sometimes penalties can hurt us. They did early."
Early in the fourth, Henry scored unassisted again to make it 8-3, but an unassisted goal from Scarborough senior Jake Barrett pulled the visitors within 8-4. Petrovek and Barrett traded unassisted goals, then Petrovek (from senior Colin Simsarian) and Barrett (unassisted) did it again to make it 10-6 with 3:03 remaining.
Yarmouth then put it away on goals from Shields (assisted by Henry), Petrovek (from senior Leo Oliva) and Highland (unassisted) that put the finishing touches on its 13-6 triumph.
"Some days you come out and you don't have it going," said Clippers coach Craig Curry. "I'm not terribly worried. We've looked good in practice. I just think we had a bad day.
"We didn't stay out of the penalty box very much. A lot of it's discipline. It's a tough lesson to learn. We were fortunate to come out of it. They had a lot of chances, but our goalie was awesome. I think the key for us is to build on this. We have tough teams coming up. If we can play well in one quarter, we should be able to do it for four quarters."
Henry and Petrovek had three goals each. Henry also had two assists and led his team with eight ground balls. Highland and Shields both had two goals. Woodworth made 11 saves.
Yarmouth (second in the latest coaches' poll and third in the latest Eastern Class B Heal Points standings) visits Kennebunk Friday, then hosts top-ranked and unbeaten Portland Monday in what might be the game of the year in boys' lacrosse.
The Clippers will be ready. They do have a streak to protect.
"This helps us get ready for Portland next week," Henry said. "That will be a good test."
Deja vu
The girls hoped to make it a sweep, but Kennebunk had other ideas.
Last spring, Yarmouth's 29-game win streak was snapped, 9-5 by the Rams on the Clippers' home turf. Tuesday night, Kennebunk did it again.
Yarmouth entered unbeaten, having downed Falmouth, Massabesic, Marshwood and Scarborough with relative ease. The Rams were coming off a hard-fought one-goal loss at NYA, their only blemish in five outings.
Tuesday, Kennebunk got the jump when senior standout Jamie Spang scored unassisted just 57 seconds in. Nineteen seconds later, sophomore Taylor Crowley scored from senior Maggie Lavoie and it was 2-0. The Rams made it 3-0 when Spang scored again midway through the first half, then the Clippers came to life.
Junior Molly Curry got her team on the board with an unassisted goal at the 11:16 mark. With 9:47 left, senior Tess Beem (from sophomore Becca Bell) beat Rams senior goalie Taylor Vaughan to pull Yarmouth within a goal, but Spang and Lavoie answered with unassisted tallies to make it 5-2. Bell and Beem then countered with unassisted goals for the hosts and it was a 5-4 Kennebunk lead at the break.
The Clippers were held in check by 15 first half turnovers. The Rams won seven of 10 draw controls and had a 12-10 edge in shots (Yarmouth senior Kelley Kasper made five saves).
With 21:32 left in regulation, the hosts pulled even when Beem fed senior Lanier Bolmer for a goal. Then, with 20:15 remaining, the Clippers took their first lead when senior Hannah Coleman passed to Bolmer, who made a great catch and followed with a shot that Crowley had no chance to stop.
That lead only lasted a little over a minute.
With 18:54 to play, Spang fed junior Brooke Worcester for a goal that tied the game at 6-6. With 8:47 remaining, Yarmouth went back on top, 7-6, when Beem set up sophomore Danielle Torres for a goal, but that would be the Clippers' last hurrah on offense.
With 7:01 to play, Lavoie scored on a free position. Then, 17 seconds later, Spang scored unassisted to put Kennebunk on top, 8-7.
Yarmouth would have its chances down the stretch, but Crowley (nine saves) came up big, denying Beem and junior Nalini Robbins. With three seconds to go, Bell's shot bounced over the cage and that was that.
Rams 8 Clippers 7.
"We just had some unlucky bounces," said Yarmouth coach Dorothy Holt. "In the first half, it didn't go our way. We had to keep climbing back. All in all, we're at their level. The kids are playing well. It was a great game. This shows us what we have to work on.
"I'd love to see them again. It was great for us. It's strange to have so many unlucky bounces on our turf. We got off to a slow start. We had five turnovers in the first two-and-a-half minutes. We have some stuff to work on and we'll work a little harder. We had opportunities at the end, we just didn't close them."
Beem and Bolmer both scored twice for the Clippers. Bell, Curry and Torres (10 ground balls) had the other goals. Kasper stopped seven shots.
Kennebunk won 12 of 17 draws. Yarmouth had a 20-19 edge in shots, but turned the ball over 30 times.
Yarmouth (third in both the latest coaches' poll and the Eastern B Heal Points) goes to Deering Friday and visits Cape Elizabeth Tuesday of next week.

- Centrifuge modeling (1)
- chemical compaction (1)
- diapir emplacement (1)
- grain settling (1)
- gravitational cumulate (1)
- Centrifuge experiments with magmatic systems : from melt segregation to pluton emplacement (2011)
- In this thesis, laboratory investigations have been conducted to investigate several processes occurring during the melt segregation (crystal settling and compaction processes), as well as during emplacement of plutons. With the help of three different sets of centrifuge experiments rates of these three magmatic processes have been evaluated. In the first series of the centrifuge experiments, the diapiric ascent of buoyant material from two source layers at different depths was studied. Through five models, the hypothesis of ascending diapirs was tested and it was demonstrated whether a rising diapir ascends straight upward or if its ascent might be deviated by another buoyant, softer – and consequently easier to travel through – layer which is located within the overburden strata. We were interested under which conditions they can be formed. For this purpose we placed perturbations on top of both the buoyant layers; either with a set-off of both the protrusions (for three of these experiments), or with both protrusion sitting directly on top of each other (for one of the experiments). In the first experiment, we omitted the perturbations, to test which pathways diapirs take which grow from natural Rayleigh-Taylor instabilities. Three others experiments differed in the viscosity contrast between the overburden and the buoyant material. Through the experimental runs, the effects of different overburden viscosities and perturbation positions on the number of the diapirs were observed. The modeling results show that two diapirs rising from the offset perturbations do not take the same pathway through the overburden layer. Rather, each diapir takes a different pathway, with the deeper diapir piercing through its overburden while rising, regardless if it was a buoyant layer or denser overburden layers. However, when the two perturbations were situated directly above each other in the different PDMS layers, this resulted in the formation of one big diapir rather than several smaller ones, and the overburden layer was less deformed than with offset perturbations. Diapiric structures as those derived from the models without perturbation and where the perturbation are offset occur within Great Kavir Basin (Iran), where numerous salt diapirs grew from several salt horizons, which show a similar spatial distribution. The resulting structure observed in the model where the two perturbations situated directly above each other, is close to what is observed in composite batholiths such as the Flasergranitoid Zone within the Bergsträßer Odenwald Crystalline Complex (Germany). The second series of models were aimed to study crystal settling within a magma. For this purpose experiments with an artificial magma of 30 vol% olivine in 70 vol% basaltic melt were conducted to elucidate the formation mechanisms and time scales of gravitational cumulates. Through the experiments, two physical processes have been observed: (i) purely mechanical compaction, and (ii) chemical compaction induced by dissolution and re-precipitation of settled crystals. The results reveals that the mechanical settling of the dense olivine suspension occurs at about 1/6 the speed of simple Stokes settling, and a sedimentation exponent n of 4.1 is found. Evidences of chemical compaction induced by dissolution and re-precipitation of settled crystals have been highlighted by a detailed analysis of the fine structure of olivine grain boundaries. This last has revealed (1) the presence of Ca, which is characteristic only for MORB-melt, at the interface of two adjacent Ol-grains even when no melt is present; (2) a not fully crystallized boundary layer between two adjacent olivine grains. The crystal size distribution curves and the grain size growth exponent n ~3.6 indicate that diffusion controlled Ostwald ripening is the dominant crystal growth mechanism in concentrated magmatic suspensions. Finally, the formation times in natural olivine adcumulates have been calculated. The last series of centrifuge experiments deals with the crystal-melt settling-floating mechanism in a system composed of natural two pyroxene gabbro. The results have revealed a vertical evolution of the major and trace elements in the melt phase. Then, a numerical modelling of the sedimentation process of the crystals has been made in order to describe the compaction evolution with time. In comparing the numerical simulation with the centrifuge modelling, the stratification of the compacted layer in the runs is reproduced in numerical models. Moreover, on the base of the numerical and centrifuge modelling, a sedimentation exponent describing a deviation of settling in concentrated suspensions from Stokes sedimentation has been evaluated. Finally, the numerical simulation is applied to the Muskox intrusion to estimate the formation time and the melt fraction evolution in using the hindered sedimentation model calculations.
