PAWTUCKET ŌĆō Tolman High coach Craig Giarrusso admits his biggest challenge during preseason practice sessions has been to develop a replacement for four-year starting pitcher (and slugger) Micayla Kirylo.
ŌĆ£In this sport, pitching is obviously the big key,ŌĆØ Giarrusso admits. ŌĆ£We have two pitchers we are working with this spring ŌĆō sophomore Olivia Larson and junior Alex Lacoste. I have a lot of faith in Olivia that she can take over for Micayla and do a good job.ŌĆØ
At what point in Tiger WoodsŌĆÖs golf career will the media stop trailing the guy around like heŌĆÖs still the No. 1 player in golf?
Even though Woods has been a non-factor in most tournaments since Thanksgiving of 2009, the long-time No. 1 player in the world still gets an inordinate amount of face time on television as he struggles to regain his old form. I guess the guy is news, no matter what he shoots each day. Or maybe we all just like to watch the golfing version of a train wreck unfold each time he plays.
CENTRAL FALLS ŌĆö State Receiver Robert G. Flanders, Jr. has announced several staff reductions, cutbacks in hours, and other operational changes at the Ralph J. Holden Community Center at 361 Cowden St. in an effort to reduce the center's current fiscal year deficit of $66,327 by more than half.

PROVIDENCE ŌĆō Ask Laurel Shepard why a qualifying fifth-grade student would want to apply to The College Crusade of Rhode Island, and she reels off reasons as if they were items from a shopping list.

The hockey season concluded less than a week ago and to no one's surprise it was Mount St. Charles that was celebrating on the ice with another state championship.

Alright I have gone ahead and restored the original version of the image so that we can see how we can protect portions of the image using the mask functions. Let's say for example that I want to focus my attention on the face and only the face, I want to protect the hat and I want to protect the hair details. Then I would go over to this tool right here that's the Freeze Mass tool. It allows you to paint in a mask sort of in a quick mask like fashion. So I am just going to paint over the hat and then I will paint down here over the hair.
It's not really necessary that I go too far out, I could paint all over the place over here but as long as I constrain my mashinations to this area inside the face I should be okay. And I am going to paint down over this region as well. Now if you end up making a mistake and you paint into the face like this then you could erase away the mask by selecting this guy the Thaw Mask tool. So even though these tools have really bizarre names freeze mask and thaw mask as if somehow masking is cold I don't know where that comes from but they have good icons.
They have got a little painting icon for adding to the mask and they have got a little eraser icon for erasing away the mask which makes a lot more sense I think than that strange ice metaphor there. Alright so I will paint away, I will go ahead and erase away that mask that I had inside of the face and then I will paint in a little additional mask just right around the hair detail so that I am tied to the face here. Now I will go ahead and grab some wacky tool like the turbulence tool and I will increase the size of my brush pretty dramatically and just sort of click and hold here at various locations.
And notice no matter what horrible things I do to the face, I am not going to affect the hair and I am not going to harm the hat either. So the hat and the hair are protected from my wacky and I think plain undesirable modifications at this point. He has that turbulence tool, I am sure you will find many a real world use for it. Alright anyway I am going to go ahead and undo that modification. You will get a sense of what I am talking about and if you feel like getting rid of your mask at any point entirely getting rid of it then just go over here to your masking functions and you can click on the None option like so in order to get rid of the mask.
And notice that we did bring a little bit of the hat into the face but that's because I had a little bit of hat on mask there. You also in case you want to get really serious about masking you have some options for replacing the mask and adding to the selection which actually subtracts from the mask and subtracting from the selection which really adds to the mask and so on. And what these options allow you to do is bring in masking elements from either the transparency mask that's associated with the layer so the layer outline itself, any selection that you may have active inside Photoshop and the layer mask if indeed there is one.
Now these options are dim for me because I have no selection and no layer mask associated with this specific layer. Alright, that's it folks. That is how the various options inside the liquefy dialog box work. At this point I recommend you just cancel out because we haven't done anything very useful so far. So go ahead and cancel out of the liquefy dialog box so we don't mess up this fellow's face. In the next exercise we are going to get a big dose of a practical application of the liquefy filter when we attack this image right here Madeline.jpeg.

Family Fun Day benefits Caton's Chapel/Richardson's Cove fire department
Though it isn't quite time for the county fair, the Caton's Chapel/Richardson's Cove Volunteer Fire Department held its annual Family Fun Day on Saturday. Families gathered for a pig roast, a duck race and a silent auction, as well as bounce houses, face-painting, games and a wood workshop for kids.
The department, which was established in 1992, operates completely through donations. Firefighters Cameron French and Charles Powers, who were present at the event, enjoyed helping with the fundraiser,
"I've been surrounded by it my whole life," said French of firefighting. "My dad has been a firefighter for 20 years. I guess it's in my blood."
Powers, who lives across the street from the department, said he wanted to play an active role there. "I work as a dispatcher for the police department, and hearing about everything that way, I wanted more hands-on experience than just on the phone," he said.
"We're really trying to work up a crowd here," said this year's event organizer, Char Abercrombie, who serves on the Fire Department's Board of Directors.
Fundraising is even more crucial to the department this year, as it opened Station Two on Henrytown Road in May. The station is fully operational, but it is temporary, serving in the interim until the permanent station is built on a two-acre lot near Howard's View Church.
"In addition to the new station, we're also funding med-first response for the enire area, and this is the first time we've done that," Abercrombie said.
She added, "Our funding from the county won't come in until November, so we're just trying to meet our expenses."
"So far, we've had a good turnout," French said. "We hope to get even more for the barbecue and fireworks show." n

NOGALES, Arizona (AZCentral/USA TODAY) - Nogales has been the epicenter for cross-border drug tunnels for years. U.S. authorities have found 100 drug tunnels in that city since 1990, more than any other location along the 2,000-mile United States-Mexico border.
But the tunnel found this week tops them all. At 481 feet, longer than 11/2 football fields, it is the longest ever discovered in Nogales, according to Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials.
The tunnel extended from a house in Nogales, Sonora, to a house in Nogales, Ariz., and was being used to smuggle marijuana and other drugs into the U.S., ICE officials said.
Federal authorities found a half pound of heroin and 46 pounds of marijuana inside.
They seized another 590 pounds of marijuana after stopping a vehicle federal agents saw driving away from the house in Nogales, Ariz., on Monday.
The house was under surveillance by a multiagency task force created in 2012 to find and dismantle drug tunnels.
The driver of the truck, Jesus Alberto Ramirez-Valencia, 22, a U.S. citizen from Nogales, Ariz., and two Mexican citizens, Jose Mario Armenta-Valdez, 41, and Jose Solorzano-Flores, 41, were charged with drug conspiracy.
The driver was apparently transporting the drugs to a second house where Solorzano-Flores was found outside, authorities say. Armenta-Valdez was arrested after federal agents raided the house, where an opening to the drug tunnel leading into the U.S. from Mexico was found.
Eric Balliet, assistant special agent in charge of ICE's Homeland Security Investigations in Nogales, said drug smugglers are resorting to tunnels because of tighter border security.
"If a drug-trafficking organization can establish a well-manufactured tunnel, the likelihood of a law-enforcement encounter is somewhat slim," Balliet said. "You don't run the risk of exposing your dope above ground, whether it's human backpackers or smuggling through the port or over the fence. It's completely concealed from start to finish."
The drug tunnel found Monday is the third uncovered in Nogales since December.
Since 1990, 169 tunnels have been found along the southern border, 100 of them in Nogales.
Last fiscal year, six of the seven tunnels found along the U.S.-Mexico border were found in Nogales. In 2012, seven of the 16 tunnels found on the border were in Nogales, and 12 of the 18 the year before that, according to U.S. Customs and Border Protection.
Nogales is popular for drug tunnels because smugglers can tap a vast underground drainage system that connects the border cities, Balliet said.
Once inside the drainage system, smugglers bore spider tunnels into the U.S., he said
The two cities also have large neighborhoods close to each other, making it easy for smugglers to dig tunnels from a house on the Mexican side to a house on the U.S. side, he said.
The tunnel found Monday stretched 70 feet from a house in Nogales, Sonora, to the U.S. border and then another 411 feet to a house in Nogales, Ariz., ICE officials said.
The passageway was roughly 2feet wide and 3 feet high, and had wood shoring, electric lighting and ventilation fans, ICE officials said.
The tunnel task force includes officers from ICE, the Border Patrol, the Drug Enforcement Administration, Nogales police, and Mexican authorities.

Then the gray-haired John Harrison turns to face the crowd, and Ficarra wraps an arm around him. Harrison raced in the 1979 Cannonball and these days sells real estate. He discovered the 2904 online last year and has been swapping e-mails with Ficarra ever since.
Today he's officiating as the grand marshal. "Please," Ficarra says with a flourish, "declare this toornament of endurance and efficiency open."
Harrison grins. "You guys are trouble."
At 3:48 p.m. November 7, Team Interceptor is off and running. We get our time stamp from the Red Ball Garage on East 31st Street, the Cannonball's famous starting place. After lurching through Manhattan's knot of stop-and-go traffic, we ascend from the Holland Tunnel into New Jersey — then promptly make a wrong turn.
There's a hush in the car as the GPS system decides how to reroute us. "Recalculating," the robotic voice says. "Turn right on Indian Place." The voice is set to "Australian female" mode, whose name, the team decides, will be Sheila.
Within minutes, we've merged onto Interstate 280 and discovered that our right rear blinker doesn't blink. But the taillights work, so we're still street-legal.
At 4:31 p.m., someone farts and all windows slide down except the rear driver's side, which is broken and duct-taped shut from the outside. Chris LaCon is skeptical that this feature will lend credibility to our aura of a police vehicle. But something must be working, because cars ahead of us keep peeling off into the right lane to allow us passage.
Macfarlane is now weaving through traffic at more than 95 mph. In one downhill maneuver, he switches lanes too hard, and the car swoons. "The suspension can't handle that, Alex," Engledow says. "We will flip like a coin, and that's instant death."
"OK," Macfarlane responds.
"I'm just saying that because I've investigated those kinds of accidents, and they're terrible."
It is early evening in eastern Pennsylvania when Engledow blurts out, "Whoa, deer!"
A large antlered buck, in the glow of sunset, has sauntered into our path to gape at us, motionless. Macfarlane brakes and whips to the right without checking his mirrors.
Our leader suggests that the noise created by the deer whistles he bought for $4.50 and mounted to the front fender might have caught the buck's attention. Unfazed, he eases the Crown Vic back up to 115 mph.
"Dude," Engledow exclaims, "I don't think my heart rate's dropped below 85 since I sat in this car."
Late that night in Indiana, at the end of the first toll road, we pretend we've lost our ticket. A paranoid Macfarlane reasons that it's best the attendant not figure out that we traversed this section of the Indiana East-West Toll Road at warp speed. We might get ratted out to the highway patrol.
Fortunately, Team Interceptor managed to sneak through Ohio, notorious Smokey country, without incident. We've been far luckier than one racer in the 1979 Cannonball Run, who, while hurtling through the Buckeye State, earned himself three speeding tickets — all within the same five-mile stretch.
But for us, as Engledow puts it, Ohio has been "like driving down a bowling lane."
We cross the Mississippi River into Iowa just before 1 a.m. Major system failure comes a few hours later at sunrise. The battery has petered out, and the team huddles beside the car in the wet grass. We're figuring the alternator must have quit at some point, causing the car to drain every last drop of juice.
Macfarlane dials AAA only to discover his coverage expired a week earlier. As LaCon dispatches a towing company from his cell phone, the team captain sends out a text message to his rivals: "Fried alternator leads to total power loss in NE. 30 minutes of waiting for a tow and our overall average speed is still 81 mph. Consider yourselves lucky."
Engledow looks at Macfarlane and asks, "Are you crushed?"
Macfarlane: "I'm good."
Engledow: "I know this was important to you."
Macfarlane: "I just feel shitty that it's something I could've prevented. I could've had the alternator tested."
The tow truck arrives, but it only has room for two passengers. "If we leave two people, will you come back and get them?" Macfarlane asks.
"Absolutely not," replies the tower.
Engledow and I hike down the shoulder of eastbound Interstate 80 toward Lincoln, Nebraska. Eighteen-wheelers are buzzing by us. Engledow has brought his hand-held CB radio from the car and is begging truckers for a lift.
"Break 19," he yells into the receiver over the highway roar. "We had too many for a tow. Can you take us to the Lincoln exit?" One trucker responds that he only picks up girls.
Suddenly, Engledow makes an unhappy discovery: The Crown Vic has been towed, but we have the keys.
Within minutes a trooper pulls up and tells us to get in the car. On the ride into Lincoln he asks who we are and where we're going. I explain that our car broke down. He wants to know the car owner's name and what he does for a living. I respond that the car's owner sells adult toys.
"Adult toys," the trooper repeats back. I decide to stop talking.

DLO Agent cannot create new users automatically, DLO Admin console can sometimes
I've been trying to resolve the following issue on a DLO 7 server (which was upgraded from BE 2010 R3). I think this issue started since the upgrade, but can't quite recall, as it's been a while.
When a new user starts the DLO agent on the client computer (Windows 7 SP 1), they receive this message
Failed to load configuration settings
On the DLO server, in the Alerts, the following is logged.
Unable to configure the Desktop Agent on computer 'computer-name' for user 'domain\username'. Error: failed to create directory \\server\share\domain-username: 0x80070534
I think I checked the usual suspects: on the file server hosting the DLO share, Everyone has full control at the share and NTFS levels. Also, the user accounts running the DLO service and the SQL Server services have full control.
Existing users, even when they are provided with a new machine do not have a problem, even on the new machine the DLO agent works as expected.
When trying to create the user record in the DLO Administration Console manually, there are 2 outcomes:
- If I create the user account and want to assign the User Data Folder on a Storage Location (we only have 1), the action fails with the following error:
Failed to create user share for \\server\share\domain-username with error No mapping between account names and security IDs was done."
I cannot find any information on this error specifically as it relates to DLO.
- If I create the account by assigning a Network user data folder path (which is the same path, \\server\share\domain-username), I am asked if I want to create it. Click Yes and everything seems to be OK. The user can then open the DLO agent and the backups start running. (For some reason, I can't pull up the UI, but the process DLOClientUI.exe is running. That may be coincidental and related to my test user instead of DLO.)
Any help would be appreciated,

Because I work in news I tend not to want to listen to news on the way in to work, so I usually have the radio tuned to some rock or pop music station. But there's only so long you can listen to Katy Perry before you go crazy, so I also switch to AM radio to try CKNW and CBC radio. The Current on CBC this morning featured an interesting war games scenario involving Israel and Iran.
The host, Jim Brown, discussed three scenarios to war with Iran to curtail their nuclear weapons program, and none of them sounded very appealing. Brown interviewed, Sam Gardiner, a retired U.S. Air Force Colonel, about the possible approaches to Iran's regime. They were as follows:
1. Israel attacks Iran's program preemptively with about 70 stealth bombers that would target identified locations, and then follow up with a special forces team that would set charges on underground facilities. The resulting fallout would likely draw the United States into supporting Israel internationally, while Iran retaliated against Israel with terrorist attacks and would inspire more fanaticism in the Middle East. The nuclear weapons program would likely be set back by five to 10 years.
2. The United States and Israel launch a coordinated attack involving bombing and special forces. No land invasion would occur and the entire operation would take place overnight. The fallout would likely be the same, says Gardiner.
3. Do nothing. Gardiner believes the Iranian threat is not existential to Israel, since he doesn't think Iran would use the weapons on Israel without dooming itself to annihilation.
Listen to the segment. Which option do you support? Is there a fourth option?

There were plenty of big news stories of 2013, from Kirk and Rasheeda's marriage breakdown on Love & Hip Hop Atlanta, to Stevie J. and Joseline's marriage, to the CrazySexyCool success of the TLC biopic. But along with those big stories came even greater hashtags and trending topics. While fans watched the biggest VH1 shows this year, you also followed along on Twitter and gave us some of the best, funniest reading material in the form of entertaining trending topics. Without context, some of these make no sense at all, but when you go back and watch the scenes that they came from, it's fun to relive them. Check out our list below to try and remember why all of Twitter was buzzing about "Polar Bear" during the TLC movie and talking about "lettuce" during Love & Hip Hop Atlanta.
"Life Partner Gang" trended during the season two finale of Love & Hip Hop Atlanta because it's the phrase Stevie J used to describe the fluid, boundary-free relationships he has with the various women in his life. The only problem? It's never a great idea to ask your two most recent loves to enter into a weird three-way relationship that neither of them want any part of.

Be able to practice in apartments or late at night.
Most drummers have experienced the problem of noise complaints practicing in apartments or late at night. Hi-hat cymbals can be loud and penetrating but Sound Percussion's hi-hat Mute quiets the sound, yet retains the feel of the hi-hats.
The cymbal mute is constructed of an ultra-thin material that closely approximates the feel and touch of a stick hitting the hats. Immediately, drummers will notice a vast improvement over existing mutes and the makeshift use of towels, tape, and blankets. It is a breeze to get up and ready. It installs and removes in seconds, just place it on the hi-hats, and play.
Be able to practice later and longer with this percussion mute, order yours today!

Turns 13 or 14 inch hats into functional practice pads with low volume and realistic feel. I like them.

Comments about Sound Percussion Labs Hi-hat Cymbal Mutes:
This thing is awesome! With both parts, it silences the hi hat perfectly, open or closed. For the record, it fits perfectly on 13 inch hi hats. But I don't see why it wouldn't work on a standard 14 inch too (as far as the muting. it just FITS best on a 13 inch). I know I was initially a little confused when I bought it because there is no size specification.

Archie Griffin's Ohio State career per ohiostatebuckeyes.com:
In 1974, Ohio State tailback Archie Griffin became just the fifth junior ever to win the Heisman Trophy. In 1975, Griffin became the first player ever to win a second Heisman. Twenty-eight years later he is still the only player to have two of the coveted bronze statues, which go annually to the nation's top college football player.
But even though more than two decades have passed, honors continue to befall Griffin now the President of the Ohio State Alumni Association.
Most recently, Griffin was selected to the National High School Hall of Fame. He was inducted into that organization in the fall of 1996. He also is a member of the National Football Foundation and the Rose Bowl halls of fame and, of course, belongs to the Ohio State University Athletics Hall of Fame.
Griffin was the Buckeyes' starting tailback for four years, leading Ohio State to a 40-5-1 record and four Big Ten titles between 1972 and 1975. He started in four-consecutive Rose Bowls, the only player ever to do so, and was a three-time first-team All-American.
At 5 feet 9 inches and 180 pounds, Griffin was small by college football standards even then, but he played with the heart of a lion and no football accomplishment was beyond his reach.
In just the second game of his freshman year, Griffin ran for a school record 239 yards. It was the start of a brilliant career that would see him amass an OSU record 5,589 yards and 26 touchdowns.
Excluding bowl games, Griffin rushed for 5,177 yards on 845 carries. The former figure ranks him fifth among all NCAA career ball carriers and Griffin rarely played more than half a game, his coach, Woody Hayes, always opting to take his star out as soon as the Buckeyes were in control.
Between his sophomore and senior seasons, Griffin ran for 100 or more yards in 31 consecutive regular-season games. That, too, is still an NCAA record, as is his 33 career 100-yard games.
In addition to two Heisman Trophies, Griffin also has a pair of Silver Footballs. The latter award is presented annually by the Chicago Tribune to the Big Ten's MVP. He is one of just three players to win that award twice. Griffin also was a two-time pick as National Player of the Year by both United Press International and the Walter Camp Foundation. He won those honors as a junior and senior.
Following his senior year, Griffin, who graduated a quarter early with a degree in industrial relations, received the NCAA's prestigious Top Five Award for combined excellence in athletics, academics and leadership. It is the highest award the NCAA can bestow.
After graduation, Griffin was a first-round draft choice of the Cincinnati Bengals. He played eight years of professional football, before returning to Columbus and joining the staff at Ohio State.
His jersey number "45" was retired Oct. 30, 1999.
Archie Griffin's career after football per Wikipedia:
Griffin returned to Ohio State University to receive a MBA. Griffin is currently the President and CEO of Ohio State University Alumni Association. He is also the current spokesman for the Wendy's High School Heisman award program. Formerly, he served as Assistant Athletic Director for Ohio State University and still speaks to the football team before every game.
Griffin also serves on the Board of Directors for Motorists Insurance which has offices in downtown Columbus and the National Football Foundation and College Hall of Fame, based in Irving, Texas.
Along with former NBA basketball star Magic Johnson, Griffin is a part owner of the Dayton Dragons, a Class Single-A minor league baseball team affiliated with Major League Baseball's Cincinnati Reds.
Archie Griffin's records per The Ohio State Team Guide:
• 1972: Set a then OSU single-game rushing record with 239 yards against North Carolina. Rushed for 867 yards during the year, then a freshman record.
• 1973: Became the first OSU sophomore to rush for 1,000 yards (1,577) and was named to a first-team spot on the UPI All-America team. Winner of the Chicago Tribune's Silver Football as the Big Ten Player of the Year.
• 1974: Rushed for a then-school record 1,695 yards and was a unanimous All-America choice. Won the Heisman Trophy, a second-consecutive Silver Football and was the UPI and WalterCamp player of the year.
• 1975: Made college football history by winning his second Heisman Trophy. Again chosen by UPI and Walter Camp as Player of the Year. A consensus All-America selection.
• Holds NCAA records for 100-yard games (33) and consecutive 100-yard games (31).
• Held NCAA record for most average yards percarry-6.13
• Held NCAA career rushing record at conclusion of his career and he still ranks 11th in NCAA annals with 5,177 yards.
• The only player to lead OSU in rushing four consecutive years.
• The only player to start four Rose Bowl games.
• Ohio State's career-rushing leader with 5,589 yards.

Andy Katzenmoyer's Ohio State career per ohiostatebuckeyes.com:
Andy Katzenmoyer started the first game of his freshman year in 1996 and was a regular for 37-consecutive games. He opted for an NFL career at the end of his junior season. He won a plethora of awards, including the Butkus Award and consensus All-America honors as a sophomore in 1997, the 1996 Football News and Big Ten Freshman of the Year. He was a three-time All-Big Ten selection and a two-time finalist for the Lombardi Award.
Katzenmoyer amassed three-year statistical totals of 197 solo tackles, 256 total tackles, 50 tackles-for-loss, 192 yards in losses, 18 quarterback sacks and six interceptions. He was twice named the team's Randy Gradishar Award winner as best linebacker (1997-98). He scored twice on interceptions, vs. Minnesota as a freshman and vs. Arizona as a sophomore, tying a school-record for interception return TDs. He also tied the school record with five tackles-for-loss in a game (vs. Arizona State in the 1997 Rose Bowl).
As a junior in 1998, Katzenmoyer was a finalist for the Maxwell Football Club's Defensive Player of the Year Award (in addition to the Lombardi Award) and he anchored the nation's top-ranked defense against the run and second-ranked unit in total defense.
He was a consensus All-American as a sophomore in 1997 and became only the second sophomore to win the Butkus Award as the nation's outstanding linebacker. He was a Lombardi Award finalist, ranking second on the team with 97 tackles, including 13 tackles-for-loss. He clinched the Arizona win with a 20-yard interception return touchdown. He had 11 tackles against both Arizona and Iowa.
In 1996 he became the first freshman to start every game at linebacker for the Buckeyes and finished second on the team with 85 tackles and paced the team with 23 tackles-for-loss and sacks (12), both school records for a linebacker.

Unfortunately, Andy suffered a career-ending injury with the Patriots, and retired from playing football.

NEW YORK — Over the past two years, publishers have been steadily filling one of the largest gaps in the e-book catalogue: poetry.
Adrienne Rich, Allen Ginsberg, Langston Hughes and Wallace Stevens have been among the poets whose work recently became available in electronic format. And Random House Inc., W.W. Norton and several other publishers now routinely release new books in both print and digital versions, including last month's Pulitzer Prize winner for poetry, Sharon Olds' "Stag's Leap."
"In the spring of 2010, we actually formed a team to focus on books that were complicated to make into e-books, like poetry and illustrated nonfiction," says Liisa McCloy-Kelley, Random House Inc.'s vice president and director of e-book production, strategy and operations. "Over the past 20 months, we really shifted into production."
The problem had been how to transfer a poem from paper to screen without either breaking a line up, a primal violation of the art form, or making the font size too small to read. It's unlikely that publishers can design a perfect solution, but they have managed to find acceptable compromises. In part, they credit advances in technology that make it easier to keep the original look intact. They also cite a technique long used in print: the hanging indent.
The poet's worst fear is for a line to break up randomly, ruining the rhythm and mood of the verse. But publishers and poets have been agreeable to ending the line at a specific word, then creating a second, indented line, alerting the reader that the train of thought belongs with the line above.
For instance, here are the first two lines of Olds' poem "Love," as they appear in the hardcover edition:
I had thought it was something we were in. I had thought we were
in it that day, in the capital
Here is how they look on an iPad 3:
I had thought it was something we were in. I had
thought we were
in it that day, in the capital
Poetry e-sales are a tiny subset of poetry sales, a perennial subset in publishing. But for publishers, and poets, it's less about commerce than accessibility.
Olds says she doesn't have a lot of interest in e-books and has not seen the electronic edition of "Stag's Leap," but that she "certainly respected the fact that readers like to read in different ways."
Part of the challenge is the devices themselves, with screens varying in size and feel from Apple's iPad touchscreen to such smaller, standalone devices as Amazon.com's Kindle and Barnes & Noble's Nook. The e-book editions for Random House and other publishers will commonly include a reader's note that suggests the proper font size for a given device.
Some works are especially challenging, like Anne Carson's collection "Red Doc," in which poems begins at various points on a given page. Random House decided on a fixed format, according to McCloy-Kelley, who says that the text "cannot be enlarged without a pinch and zoom," meaning it can only be changed on a touchscreen. The verse of the late Greek poet C.P. Cavafy, who sometimes used extra spaces between words, proved so difficult to set accurately that English-language translator Daniel Mendelsohn settled for an e-book edition admittedly much different than what appeared on paper.
Smaller presses have cited limited budgets as a deterrent to digitizing. But a top poetry publisher, Copper Canyon Press, last year began an e-book program funded by a grant from the Paul G. Allen Foundation. Copper Canyon has issued electronic versions of collections by former U.S. poet laureates Charles Simic and Ted Kooser, along with dozens of other works.
In some cases, poets prefer it that way. C.K. Williams, a prize-winning poet known for his long lines, has seen some of his work show up on the Internet and has not been encouraged.
"I'm quite horrified by how little it has to do with what I had in mind when I wrote it," Williams says. "Ultimately, it's about the words. You can say you have to sacrifice one thing for another, and I suppose I will have to accept that, because e-books are such a central part of our literary culture. But I haven't been terribly happy about it."

An examination of childhood trauma and its surreptitious, debilitating effects by one of the world's leading psychoanalysts.
Never before has world-renowned psychoanalyst Alice Miller examined so persuasively the long-range consequences of childhood abuse on the body. Using the experiences of her patients along with the biographical stories of literary giants such as Virginia Woolf, Franz Kafka, and Marcel Proust, Miller shows how a child's humiliation, impotence, and bottled rage will manifest itself as adult illness - be it cancer, stroke, or other debilitating diseases. Never one to shy away from controversy, Miller urges society as a whole to jettison its belief in the Fourth Commandment and not to extend forgiveness to parents whose tyrannical childrearing methods have resulted in unhappy, and often ruined, adult lives. In this empowering work, writes Rutgers professor Philip Greven, "[listeners] will learn how to confront the overt and covert traumas of their own childhoods with the enlightened guidance of Alice Miller."

"A healing experience"
It's great that 'honour thy mother and thy father' is questioned in this book. There are some parents who should not be honoured.
Don't know about moments but the whole book questions the way abused children are told to 'forgive' and 'honour' those who abused them when our bodies are telling us that our truth is so important.
A caring genuine sounding approach I suppose.
It gives you the freedom to accept how you feel, to be understanding of yourself instead of being understanding of the abuser.
Good work.
"An incredible work"
Eye opening and groundbreaking stuff. Revealing and insightful it has really given me an understanding of why there is so much dysfunction in our society

The Outsider, by Colin Wilson
Sense & Salvation
by Sidney Hook
The Outsider. By Colin Wilson. Houghton Mifflin. 288 pp. $4.00.
There was a time when to convict a thinker of absurdity was to place him under an inteltellectual obligation to rise to the argument or change his position. At the very least, it put him in the shadow of impropriety. Today he can escape the obligation and get out from under the shadow by calmly making a philosophy of his predicament. Existentialism as a philosophy of the absurd is the 20th century's gift to literary men and critics who are terribly excited by ideas but resent the discipline ncessary to analyze them. Mr. Colin Wilson is caught up in this excitement about existentialist profundity. One can plead for him the extenuations of youth and a desultory philosophical education. What is truly astonishing is that he has infected with his enthusiasm for the dramatic and the murky some English critics from whom one had expected more intellectual sophistication.
Who is the "outsider"? He is a composite character drawn from the plays, novels, essays, and letters of a varied assortment of literary men ranging from very minor talents like Henri Barbusse and Harley Granville-Barker to giants like Dostoevsky and Tolstoy. Between the extremes of this spectrum we find H. G. Wells, T. E. Lawrence, Hemingway, Sartre, Camus, Hermann Hesse, Nietzsche, Van Gogh, Kierkegaard, Nijinsky, James, and Blake. The features of the "outsider" are not clearly drawn: they vary somewhat with the moods of his creator. It is safe to say, however, that the "outsider" is the man who feels he does not belong, who refuses to accept human life and society on any basis which makes it possible for him to find fulfilment in love, work, and friendship. He is the man for whom life or existence or the cosmos "has no meaning," or if it has, a trivial, absurd, or grotesque meaning. He is the man for whom nothing matters but death.
This description of the "outsider" is incomplete, for nowhere does Mr. Wilson describe his beliefs and attitudes systematically. He does not even contrast him carefully with the "insider." He illustrates rather than explicates these beliefs and attitudes by snippets of quotation from the men mentioned. The "outsider" has a great hunger to know himself deeply and to express himself truly, and at the same time to escape from himself. Above all he seeks to save himself by some extreme action or, like Meursault in Camus's The Stranger, by an extreme failure of action. In all his variations, according to Mr. Wilson, the "outsider" is the very model of the metaphysical man who has seen through the appearances of everyday life and who scorns the humanist and rationalist because of their desire to make the world, if not a kinder place, a less evil one in which to live. The "outsider" does not have to be conventionally religious, but in one fashion or another he has grasped with St. Augustine and T. E. Hulme the central truth and importance of "dogmas like that of Original Sin."
At no point in the book does Mr. Wilson ever clarify the problems over which his existentialist heroes agonize; nor does he ever face the challenge, which arises just as soon as we. try to come to grips with their assertions, that the problems are not really genuine. They can't be answered not because they are difficult but because the terms in which they are put permit of no answer. Existence is not something of which we can significantly say, as we do of a human being, that it lacks or possesses meaning. If life is absurd because one can find no meaning in experience, what are the conditions, actual or imaginable, in which one could find meaning? What would life have to be like in order for us to declare that it is not absurd? If the world we lived in were still declared "absurd" or "meaningless" no matter what kind of world it was (or even if we didn't live in one at all!) these terms would themselves be meaningless because they had no intelligible opposite. The whole problem would dissolve like early morning vapors in the sun.
Or consider the view that man is a stranger or alien in the world. On the conventional religious view one can understand roughly what is meant by this. Man's soul, which is separable from his body, is either a fragmented part of the world-soul and must return to the One from which it descended, or, cast into the natural world, its supernatural end is reunion with God, its creator. But if an individual surrenders this view, and, like most of Mr. Wilson's characters, repudiates the dogmas of immortality and resurrection, what home can he possibly conceive man to have other than the natural world of which he is a part, to be sure a distinctive part, but as dependent upon other existing things as the animals and stones in the field?
For purposes of philosophical analysis, it is sufficient to show that Mr. Wilson's "outsiders" and he himself talk nonsense or make inconsistent or self-refuting assumptions. But to stop at that is not very satisfying. We should inquire what makes them talk that way, why they feel that their talk is important, what the actual problems are, if any, that beset them, what they are trying to say about them, and above all what they really want. Nonsense may be important as a diagnostic aid in discovering obscure needs and aspirations.
Unfortunately the last thing in the world Mr. Wilson's "outsiders" can tell us is what they really want. They feel aggrieved at the very notion that they are expected to be able to tell us. They are very eloquent about what they detest and don't want. Some of the things " they detest—philistinism, mediocrity, hypocrisy, injustice—we, who do not consider ourselves "outsiders," detest too. Normally we can get a fair idea of what a person wants by noting what he doesn't want. Not so for our "outsider." He doesn't want an unjust world or one of ignorance or poverty. But a world of justice, relatively speaking, of enlightenment, welfare, and peace is just as much an abomination to him. It stinks of healthiness, or worse, of normalcy, adjustment, conformity—as if these words had any meaning independently of the kind of world we live in. They are especially meaningless when we use them in value judgments without specifying what sort of world we regard as desirable to live in—something which the "outsider" cannot tell us because he doesn't know.
It is not that the "outsider" wants the merely impossible. That would be understandable. One can't get the moon but if he cries for it long enough he may some day fly there. Strictly speaking, every ideal worthy of man is impossible of complete realization but it can still serve as a guide to choice and action. There is a difference between an ideal that cannot be attained and one that is senseless. An analogous situation holds for the logic of the emotions. One can be sad about the world but one cannot sensibly be indignant with it or shake one's fist at it unless he believes nature is animate or that it is responsible for its own state. The "outsider" does not believe anyone is responsible for the nature of nature but he is nonetheless in revolt against it. He is a man who, having given up his belief in the existence of God, is still lacerating himself over the problem of evil, unaware that there is no problem of evil to a naturalist but only problems of evil, some remediable, some not; it is not usually possible to determine which is which until human beings pit their courage and intelligence against the obstacles in the struggle to solve them.
What, then, ails the "outsider," the synthetic ideal type, constructed from the writings and lives of 20th- and 19th-century literary men, who does not talk sense and cannot tell us what he wants? And here Mr. Wilson shows the only genuine insight I have found in his book—although he expresses it in a dim and halting fashion. He recognizes that the "outsider" is still looking for salvation in a world in which, in intellectual terms, God is dead. The "outsider" needs God; he has an emotional hunger for him although he does not believe in him. Lacking the courage of his intellectual negations and the knowledge of his emotional needs and dependence, he projects upon the universe a despair in many colors and idioms. Sometimes he feels that he is himself God; sometimes that he is a devil or the Antichrist; sometimes that all things are permissible; sometimes that nothing is. Whatever he thinks or feels, he rightly considers himself more the foe of the humanist and rationalist than of the supernaturalist, for his primary concern is not with truth but with salvation; in the words of one of Dostoevsky's characters, "If the truth excludes Christ, I will choose Christ and not the truth." For him the most fearful of all evils is death, although if he were consistent this is what he should really believe about birth. And since he is unable to accept the evidence that death is a natural event which like other events has its grandeur and misery and uses in life, he can see in death only a cosmic conspiracy against his ego. In the end he finds a haven either in a mystical religion or a political mystique which bleeds him of his frenzy at the price of his responsibility, or he goes to a lonely grave without understanding either the world or himself.

Gear Review
Lashed are the yard stick...
For the price the 32 lashed is the boot that every manufacturer should be striving to match. Having ridden dozen's of boots from various manufacturers over 20 years my first pair of Thirty Two's are the lashed. Honestly I cannot find anything bad to say about how they feel, and perform when riding! I got a great deal on a colorway that I DO NOT LIKE yet I still refuse to give them up! I considered getting a new pair of Lashed this year (because I hate the colorway) and when I put my boots on for opening day I decided against it. They are like slippers now and I will ride them until they die. Only complaint is I would like to see more durable toe top materials for riding the lift as mine are torn up but otherwise they are the boot by which other's should be measured!

EARLY BIRD: Dickson heard Suggs' message loud and clear
Harbaugh: We need to get better and win games
EARLY BIRD: Waking up with the Ravens before their last practice during the bye week.
Two-minute topic: Tight end Ed Dickson is taking Terrell Suggs' "state of emergency" message to heart.
OWINGS MILLS – When Suggs said the Ravens (3-4) were in a state of emergency after Sunday's loss to the Steelers, Dickson thought it was the message the team needed to hear.
"We need that sense of urgency, because it's getting later in the season," Dickson said in the locker room Tuesday. "Whenever we lose to that team (the Steelers), I don't even want say their name, it's a slap in the face. Guys want to take this bye week to get healthy, get stuff done, and self-check yourself – what am I not doing well? Every individual person has to do that, take their pride and throw it to the side. That's how good teams become great teams. When our leader, Sizz (Suggs), says we're in a state of an emergency, that means it's time to hone in, because we're all on this ride. When our leader says something like that, it's time to pay attention."
Dickson (13 catches, 93 yards, no touchdowns) has not had the season he expected individually. But he is more focused on the team, and says he sees positive signs the offense can build on.
"We're closer, and we'll try a few different things during this bye, figure out what we want to do," Dickson said. "But when we start getting ready for Cleveland next week, we need some great practices. No more losing. That's on everyone's mind. Win, or go home."
Morning thought: "For a guy to be out 10 months and come back and practice three days and 28 plays in that game, amazing. I've seen one other guy do it – (Tedy) Bruschi after he had a stroke. And I same Jameel (McClain) do it here. This guy had been told a few months back that he was never going to play football again…That's an amazing feat to me."
Ravens defensive coordinator Dean Pees, talking about McClain returning to action Sunday after suffering a spinal cord contusion in December.

In announcing the new scholarship program, President Alice P. Gast said: "We want to send the message that Lehigh is a great place for young women to pursue science, mathematics and engineering."
In recognition of the 40th anniversary of undergraduate women at Lehigh, President Alice P. Gast announced that the university has established a new $1 million endowed scholarship program to support women studying in the science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) fields.
At Lehigh today, one in four undergraduate engineering students are women, which exceeds the national average of 18.6 percent.
"Lehigh is a leader in educating female engineering students and this scholarship support will give us the opportunity to build on that leadership," said Gast, an internationally renowned chemical engineer. "We want to send the message that Lehigh is a great place for young women to pursue science, mathematics and engineering. There is a national need for well-educated STEM graduates and it is important to increase the number of women going into these fields."
Lehigh is part of a national effort to inspire future generations of women to pursue STEM academic and career opportunities. According to the Census Bureau's 2009 American Community Survey, women comprise nearly half of the U.S. workforce, but just 24 percent of STEM workers. Women also hold a disproportionately low share of STEM undergraduate degrees, particularly in engineering.
"In order to create innovation we have to have diversity of thoughts. It is critical that more women pursue degrees in engineering," said Sharon Kalafut, professor of practice in computer science and business and the faculty advisor for the Society of Women Engineers (SWE). "Imagine the advancements in engineering if the diversity of ideas by both females and males were brought together; that collaboration would play a key role in shaping the engineering industry. The STEM scholarships will provide the funds necessary to advance women in science and engineering."
Two female students from the incoming Class of 2016 will receive the first scholarships. The awards will provide support for tuition and research-related activities throughout their four years at Lehigh. Two additional scholarships will be awarded each year to incoming students enrolled in STEM fields.
"These scholarships will help us recruit women into these areas of vital need, and provide a source of talent going forward," said J. Leon Washington, dean of admissions and financial aid.
The STEM scholarships are part of a larger effort by Lehigh to increase the ranks of women in academic science and engineering careers. The university was named one of seven recipients of a 2010 National Science Foundation ADVANCE Institutional Transformation Grant which allows the university to harness the strengths of interdisciplinary research and teaching to enhance recruitment, retention, and the advancement of women faculty in STEM fields.
In addition to these efforts, Lehigh's female engineering students are actively involved in organizations such as SWE and Engineers without Borders. Students participate in projects such as a SWE trip to Africa to help provide mobile technology solutions that connect women in the bush to doctors, and Charting Horizons and Opportunities In Careers in Engineering and Sciences, or CHOICES, which promotes science, engineering and math among Lehigh Valley middle school girls.
"Women are motivated to pursue science and engineering when they understand the impact their work can have on the world," said Gast. "Lehigh's many opportunities for hands-on learning appeals to students."

British actress Emilia Fox has become patron of a new butterfly sanctuary in the U.K, after falling in love with the winged insects when they fluttered overhead on her wedding day.
The Pianist star is backing the huge $40 million (£27 million) Butterfly World in southern England, which has been founded to preserve the future of the delicate creatures in Britain.
Fox was asked to support the project by lepidopterist Clive Farrell, the expert who helped her find different varieties of butterflies to flutter around her as she married her now ex-husband Jared Harris in 2005.
She tells Britain's Daily Telegraph, "I get a lot of requests to be involved in things and I think you have to pick the ones you really care about and can do something to help. I was immediately bowled over by Clive's passion and jumped at the chance.
"Butterflies are the canaries in the coal mine as far as conversation is concerned. Their fragility exposes what's going on around us."

Sometimes the only difference between a good day of riding and a great day of riding comes down to a few of the modern conveniences that most people forget. Those days are in the past with Rocky Mountain ATV/MC's selection of rider accessories.
With a motocross practice starting gate, you'll quickly be able to hone your skills. Before you know it, you'll be claiming every holeshot as your own! If all of the noise makes it difficult to focus, why not try a pair of KTM ear plugs? If you'd like a little extra protection for your teeth, you can pick up a motorcycle mouth guard.
As you know, riding a dirt bike can get pretty dirty. You can wipe off the dust off your face with a trail-ready compressed towelette from Bike Master. We also carry several options of hand cleaner.
There's nothing quite as annoying as blazing heat when you're at a motocross race. Beat the heat with a canopy like the E-Z Up Sierra II shelter. With a canopy, you can set up your base of operations in the cool and relaxing shade, ensuring that your mental preparation is as focused as possible. And for those times when the sun is hiding behind stormy clouds, we also carry Fox Racing, KTM and Yamaha umbrellas to keep you dry.
We have several items for the kids as well, like the Motosport Products Mini Moto starting blocks to help them out of the starting gate. There's also the Strider no-pedal balance bike, which is great for kids who are learning to balance – it encourages them to reach their maximum riding potential when they're ready to move on to a dirt bike (or ready to take off the training wheels). And for the times at home and away from the track, you can't go wrong with a motocross toddler bed or toy box.
We also have a variety of accessories that allow you to demonstrate your true colors with officially branded merchandise from your favorite motorcycle manufacturer, including Yamaha lip balm, Kawasaki sun shades, Honda bar stools and KTM dog dishes.
Truth be told, this is just a small sample of the many dirt bike rider accessories that we stock at Rocky Mountain ATV/MC. Take a look at our selection – you'll definitely find something here for you!

Has anyone figured this out or spoken to the GNP? If I have a rifle permit and choose to use my bow during that season do I have to wear hunter orange? If not, at a minimum I will wear in going in and out from my stand.
From the big game guide:
Hunter orangeState law requires hunters to wear and visibly display at least 400 square inches of hunter orange on their head, back and chest at all times when hunting big game with a firearm or muzzleloader during firearm or muzzleloader seasons. Camouflage hunter orange patterns are legal. Archers are exempt from this requirement during muzzleloader seasons. Hunter orange is not required of archers during the October Antlerless deer season.

EthicalSuper is NOT a superannuation fund, nor is it personal financial advice or even general financial advice. It is a web-based information service for people interested in the topic, with links to publicly available information and services.
The author, Paul Meleng, has over 20 years of supporting ethical investing in Australia prior to his retirement from day to day licensed advising.
There are at least 300 superannuation funds available to the public in Australia
All public managed funds are required to state whether they do take account of social, environmental or governance related ethical issues in choosing their investments. Some do. Most do not. For those who do, the guidelines for ethical matters are spelled out in their trust deeds and Product Disclosure Statements (PDS).
We do not guarantee that we have found them all or we have chosen the "best". We are open to input and correction. We hope we can help you identify a super fund that meets your own ethical preferences.
From there you must follow due process and make your own judgements or seek professional advice before taking any action with your money. We may be able to guide you as to process or as to where to find things, or refer you to licensed professionals – see ethicaladviser.com.au.
There is plenty of publicly available information on the financial aspects of each fund, costs, performance and so on.
Recommending a particular fund or strategy for an individual is the business of duly authorised advisers and only authorised advisers. That is the LAW. If you need it then seek it. Good advice is well worth paying for.
