Online Writing Lab (OWL)
KSU Writing Centers Portal: Great Writing Resources!
KSU Writing Centers Hub: KSU Writing Centers' Home.
The Kent Trumbull Learning Center supports an Online Writing Lab (OWL) as a component of its tutoring services. The OWL's primary focus is to offer students an opportunity to interact with English tutors and receive constructive input on writing assignments and related questions when time does not permit them to visit the Learning Center in person.
Who Can Use the OWL?
All Kent Trumbull students can use the OWL. We encourage Kent Trumbull English faculty to either visit the Learning Center in person or send mail to the Academic Services Coordinator to give tutors specific instructions for replying to a particular assignment or student.
How Can I Send You My Request?
The best way to submit your paper to the OWL is to attach a copy of the paper (as a Word document) to an e-mail addressed to firstname.lastname@example.com. Include in the body of the e-mail:
The course name
The instructor
Details about the assignment ***Important***
Details on how you would like the tutor to assist you (we are not a proof-reading service)
If the OWL staff feels that they need additional information before they can respond, they will let the student know immediately.
Who Reads My Message, and How Quickly Can You Respond?
The Academic Services Coordinator will receive mail sent to this address, and will assign each submission to a member of the OWL staff of English tutors for response. The Academic Services Coordinator will then send a short reply to the student, informing him or her that the paper has been assigned to an OWL tutor. We will respond in as timely manner as possible.
How Will the OWL Staff Respond to My Request?
The OWL staff will respond to papers by including the original text in their reply message, which will:
allow tutors to insert comments directly into the text (in separate paragraphs set off from the original text and surrounded by ****)
allow students to view both their own text and tutor comments on screen when they receive the return message
When any OWL staff member replies to student papers or questions, he or she will forward a copy of the reply to the Academic Services Coordinator, to be kept in a secure file.

This Comment explores whether individuals should be compensated for the diminution of their land caused by the public's fear of electromagnetic fields (EMF). The majority view holds that these individuals should be compensated, the intermediate view believes that compensation should only be awarded when the public's fear is reasonable, and the minority view holds that such individuals should never be compensated. Part II of this Comment attempts to summarize the current state of the law on the issue of fear-based land value diminution by examining relevant case law. Part III argues that the majority view is superior to the minority and intermediate views. This part demonstrates that the majority view is essentially a strict liability approach, and suggests that the justifications for imposing strict liability upon an actor also support imposing upon power companies the cost of compensating property owners for losses caused by the public's fear of EMF health hazards. Part IV notes that in situations where the majority view may be inappropriate, courts or legislatures can create exceptions. Finally, Part V concludes that the majority view is the superior approach to determining damages caused by fear of EMF.

You can join the drive to improve our kids' future
I learned also that school districts need the staff in place; otherwise, their functions would fall to principals and assistant principals, who should be focused on supervision and discipline.
I learned that school boards are elected, but that doesn't mean that they should be an arm of the political machine. I learned also that the system needs an accountability tool in place, one that measures success, but is not allowed to become an instrument of failure. I learned that necessary funding should accompany any added accountability measures imposed on school districts.
As I became involved in public education, it became apparent to me that our children would be less likely to succumb to the lure of a quick buck by selling drugs, or committing some violent act, if our public schools offered contemporary curriculum, if extracurricular activities were well-organized and equalized, and if our schools were properly funded. Yes, the primary responsibility for the upbringing of children rests on parents. But the fact is that our children spend a huge portion of each day at school.
This parent believes in the process. That's why I agreed to serve on the board of directors of the newly formed Texas Parent PAC. Across the state, parents, grandparents and parents-to-be believe the future of Texas rests in the children of today. Our schools offer the best opportunity we have to ensure that the state's future is bright and prosperous.
Unfortunately, the Texas Legislature continues to shortchange students by refusing to adequately fund public schools. There are no good excuses for the Legislature's failure to meet the needs of 4.4 million students enrolled in Texas public schools.
Parents are fed up with the inability of state lawmakers to support Texas children in the manner they deserve, and which our constitution requires.
Our children's need for high quality public education must be met. As parents, we have trusted elected officials to vote in the best interests of the children. Many of the state's lawmakers have betrayed that trust.
That's why the Texas Parent PAC was created. In doing so, we hope to ensure the special interests of the children will be made clear to politicians seeking election in 2006.
We value the freedom of parents to recruit legislative candidates who are moral, public-spirited men and women committed to investing in public education. Our PAC will contribute to the campaigns of these committed individuals.
Texas Parent PAC will involve parents in registering voters, volunteering in primary and general election campaigns, and organizing get-out-the-vote campaigns. The PAC also will make it a priority to enlighten parents about education policy issues and the critical record votes cast at the Texas Capitol in 2005.
Parents must take part
We parents are committed to the children of Texas. We are united by traditional mainstream American values that honor and support families, faith, communities, freedom and democracy. We believe an additional benefit will be that the children of members of the PAC will realize the value of citizen involvement in the electoral politics of our democracy.
I encourage you to take part. Visit our Web site at HYPERLINK http://www.txparentpac www.txparentpac. com. If we parents don't take action now, what lies in store for our children?

|Canto 10: The Summum Bonum
|Chapter 1: The Advent of Lord Kṛṣṇa: Introduction
Bhaktivedanta VedaBase: Śrīmad Bhāgavatam 10.1.9
kasmān mukundo bhagavān
pitur gehād vrajaḿ gataḥ
kva vāsaḿ jñātibhiḥ sārdhaḿ
kṛtavān sātvatāḿ patiḥ
kasmāt — why; mukundaḥ — Kṛṣṇa, who can award liberation to everyone; bhagavān — the Supreme Personality of Godhead; pituḥ — of His father (Vasudeva); gehāt — from the house; vrajam — to Vrajadhāma, Vrajabhūmi; gataḥ — went; kva — where; vāsam — placed Himself to live; jñātibhiḥ — His relatives; sārdham — with; kṛtavān — did so; sātvatām patiḥ — the master of all Vaiṣṇava devotees.
Why did Kṛṣṇa, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, leave the house of His father, Vasudeva, and transfer Himself to the house of Nanda in Vṛndāvana? Where did the Lord, the master of the Yadu dynasty, live with His relatives in Vṛndāvana?
These are inquiries about the itinerary of Kṛṣṇa. Just after His birth in the house of Vasudeva in Mathurā, Kṛṣṇa transferred Himself to Gokula, on the other side of the Yamunā, and after some days He moved with His father, mother and other relatives to Nanda-grāma, Vṛndāvana. Mahārāja Parīkṣit was very much eager to hear about Kṛṣṇa's activities in Vṛndāvana. This entire canto of Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam is full of activities performed in Vṛndāvana and Dvārakā. The first forty chapters describe Kṛṣṇa's Vṛndāvana affairs, and the next fifty describe Kṛṣṇa's activities in Dvārakā. Mahārāja Parīkṣit, to fulfill his desire to hear about Kṛṣṇa, requested Śukadeva Gosvāmī to describe these activities in full detail.

Prince pays tributes to battle victims
Posted: May 19, 2014|
New Zealand's fallen have been honoured by Prince Harry, who reached another milestone in his official life – performing his first Maori hongi.
Harry attended a service to commemorate the Kiwi troops who died during the Allied campaign to take Monte Cassino from Nazi forces during five months of bitter fighting which culminated in victory 70 years ago yesterday.
And before it began he performed a number of hongis – nose rubbing – with senior guests who had gathered at a war ceremony in the town of Cassino, overlooked by the imposing Benedictine monastery of Monte Cassino.
New Zealand forces played a big part in the second and third battles of Monte Cassino in 1944 before victory was secured in the fourth battle. Prince Harry, who attended the ceremony as a member of the New Zealand Royal Family, performed his first hongi when he met the country's Governor General, Sir Jerry Mateparae.
Both took off their military hats to press their noses and foreheads together and then repeated the greeting inside the cemetery after the prince had signed a book of remembrance.
Harry did the same with Warrrant Officer Class 1 Jerald Twomey, 50, of the Royal New Zealand Army Logistical Regiment and Sergeant Wai Paenga, 44, of the Royal New Zealand Air Force, both in military uniform.
The Prince's technique impressed his hosts with Warrant Officer Twomey, from Whanganui, saying: "He was very good".
Harry then joined veterans and the Governor General in a slow procession to the Cross of Sacrifice led by an arrowhead of Maori Warriors, flanked by two airmen in uniform twirling Purerehua, Maori wind instruments, above their heads to make a buzzing sound.
As they moved forward a Maori cultural group performed a Maimai Aroha, or chanting, and a Karanga – a spiritual call.
During the open-air service hymns were sung, contemporary accounts of the battles were read and a minute's silence was observed after a bugler had sounded the Last Post.
Harry laid a wreath at the Cross of Sacrifice, as did other dignitaries, including the Governor General.
Many New Zealand veterans of the battle of Monte Cassino had made the long journey from their homeland to attend the service and honour fallen comrades whose graves surrounded them.
After the ceremony they patiently queued to shake hands with Harry and many cracked jokes – with Brian Schofield, 92, from Auckland telling the prince "you be good," and he replied: "I will".
Mr Schofield was a sergeant in a tank transport unit who spent three months fighting in the Cassino area.
Asked if memories of the battle were still fresh in his mind, he replied: "Oh Christ yes" and pointing up to the monastery said: "It's still looking down on us".
The original 6th century monastery was obliterated in a bombing raid the Allies hoped would bring an end to the conflict.
From the rocky outcrop topped by the holy site, Nazi forces had constructed a highly fortified position and were frustrating the Allies' advance north to Rome in 1944.
But the air raid failed to root out Hitler's forces.
Mr Schofield said: "I still think the bombing was a waste of time."
Prince Harry reacted with amazement at the damage wreaked on an historic monastery during one of the Second World War's most important battles. Harry visited Monte Cassino and was given a tour by the Abbot's secretary, Father Antonio Potenza. As he walked into an exhibition chronicling the destruction of the holy site he saw a huge black and white image of its ruins and said: 'Unbelievable – they knocked the whole thing down'

Anyone can do a walking tour of the Sausalito houseboat community, and the gates to most of the docks are unlocked. You'll see everything from architectural gems to repurposed working boats to, well, a few maintenance-challenged vessels that date back to World War II.
This vibrant community of floating homes recently turned 65 years old, but it remains as rebellious and vibrant as ever. You can read about the two most famous "golden era" Sausalito houseboats on the Taj Mahal page and on our Forbes Island page.
Insider Tips: It's easy to be welcomed as a guest by the owners of the Sausalito houseboats when you visit the docks:
1. Please be considerate about noise levels, and remember that a nurse, paramedic or firefighter who works late may be sleeping nearby when you walk by on the pier.
2. Please do not smoke on the houseboat piers. The walkways are made of wood, and the top planks are dried by years of the hot summer sun, so stray sparks are not welcome.
3. If you ride your bike to the docks, please lock it outside or walk your bike on the piers, as the residents do. Some of the pathways are narrow and this is safest for both walkers and bike riders.
4. Dogs are prohibited from some docks due to visitors not having cleaned up after them. Check the signs and you'll be OK.
Insiders Tip: One bike tour operator endangers both his clients and local residents by encouraging visitors to ride their bikes on the docks. Steer clear of renting from anyone who says this is OK.
Click here to see what it was like on the Sausalito houseboats when the tidal surge from the 2011 Japanese earthquake reached San Francisco Bay.
Check out our pages with Houseboats for Sale.
Where to See the Floating Homes
The easiest places to do a walking tour of a wide variety of houseboats are around the Gate 5 Road and Main Dock area, and at the Gate 6 Road Waldo Point Harbor area, labeled "A" and "B" on the map below. You can park in the Waldo Point Harbor lot for a shorter visit, or follow the map below to drive up Gate 6 1/2 road and park for a longer stay.
Insiders Tip: Many members of the local community strongly prefer the term "Floating Homes" to Houseboats. Refer to them this way and you're more likely to make friends with the residents.
Kappas Marina, "A" Dock, Issaquah Dock and Liberty Dock are just some of the areas where you'll find wonderful floating homes as you follow Gate 5 Road and Gate 6 Road to where they meet the Bay. You'll also see a few of the battered survivors from the old era of improvised houseboats of decades past. Some docks are lined by beautiful flowers in containers that are tended by the owners as their "front yards", and many of the homes have names and unique decorations.
Some of these homes were once boats of different kinds, and the architectural visions that translated them into floating houses can be fascinating. As has been the tradition, many of the houseboat community members are professional artists.
Stick to the well-maintained docks on your walking tour. There are some improvised walkways and planking in a few places but you don't need to traverse any of these areas to admire the best architecture and it's safer (and more respectful of residents' privacy) to avoid them.
A paid walking tour of the houseboats, Liberty Ship shipyards area and the yacht harbors of Sausalito is offered on Saturdays and Sundays by a local guide.

Floating Homes, Still Rebellious at 65
The famous Sausalito houseboat community chronicled in the late Phil Frank's fascinating book of historical photos has a history that stretches back well over a century.
The modern community was born in 1945, when the hastily-built Marinship Shipyards were just as hastily shut down at the end of World War II. Returning veterans, artists, maritime workers, musicians and others appropriated abandoned vessels small and large as living spaces, and for over 25 years the community evolved and grew.
In its most famous era, from the 1950's through the 1970's, the area became a checkerboard of improvised floating homes that ranged from the elegant to the innovative-and-creative to the downright dangerous. The population living there likewise became, well... the people ranged from the elegant to the innovative-and-creative to the downright dangerous.
After a series of incidents including a murder, local officials fought a long series of battles with various groups, and eventually struck a compromise where the remaining boats came into harbors.
For some of the residents of the freewheeling boat community a wonderful way of life was lost because of the actions of a relative few.
On the other side of the equation, most houseboats were connected to sewer lines, which almost everyone agreed had become necessary. Walking around the area at low tide in the 1960's and 1970's often meant encountering a wall of nasty odors that would repel all but the most hardy travelers. It got so bad that when the wind blew in from across the Bay you'd wince inside your car driving by northern Sausalito on Highway 101, and accelerate to get out of the bad smell faster!
Fortunately some of the most impassioned and creative members of the original community remain active in Sausalito today, and have worked to preserve the remaining artifacts of our maritime history. In September of 2013 they successfully saved the paddlewheel and smokestack of the Ferry Charles Van Damme from destruction, and they're working to restore and display them for the boat's 100th anniversary in 2016.
Some new "anchor outs" have returned to the Bay off Sausalito since the original "Houseboat Wars" ended, and some conflicts remain with the Coast Guard, Sheriff and Health Department.

"Thank you," Kasai managed to respond, choosing to follow the ranger. She nearly fainted from relief after their encounter. Phoebe, however, stayed still. She looked up at the onix with curiosity, eyes wide. Her little, green gills twitched in thought. She continued staring until Kasai picked her up and carried her along.
Harumi wasn't looking to great, either. Her feathers were ruffled and she looked pretty worn out. She still felt warm, which wasn't really surprising. Kasai decided to carry her as well, but was struggling to see around her two companions. She found her blackglasses and managed to place them back in her bag. "Do you think the swinub will be all right?" Kasai felt she had to ask. She had grown attached to it in this short time and didn't want to leave it. It's a good thing Harumi didn't have to attack, she thought. And what did that hunter want? If he wanted to keep it, he wouldn't have a trap set. I'll never look at poochyena the same way again. The ranger can talk to Pokémon, too. How did that happen?
Question: How did a twelve-year-old get mistaken for a hunter? Does Kasai seem older than she is? (I'm the same way.)

Full detailed profile on Matthew Buchanan Played by Robert Gorrie on One Life To Live Daytime Soap Opera.
(OLTL Instagram)
Birthday: April 6, 1987
Matthew arrives outside of Michelle's family's estate in Toronto. He contemplates what to say then rings the doorbell. When a woman answers he's stunned to hear she's never heard of Michelle McCall. Matthew drives down the road and leaves a message for Michelle about how she played him. He takes a call from Dani and admits Michelle was one big lie.
At their apartment, Matthew tells Dani and Jeffrey that Michelle's parents have her on lockdown since her brother's death. They look up her address online and see a beautiful house. Matthew shares that her father's in pharmaceuticals and talks about visiting Michelle. They turn the radio on and hear The Nightbird.
From the loft The Nightbird, Nora, welcomes listeners to call in. In response to her first caller Nora says, "Go Ahead… The Nightbird's on her perch." She gives advice to a woman who wants to get rid of a family member who's overstayed her welcome. Later, Matthew calls in and complains about his parents. He loves them, but they're making it hard due to their trust issues. Nora and Bo look at each other, having gotten the message. The Nightbird advises that Matthew tell them to butt out of his life. Matthew tells 'The Nightbird' her kids are lucky to have her for a mom. After the show, Bo praises Nora for her excellent advice.
Back at the apartment, Dani and Jeffrey commend Matthew on how he handled his mom. They convince him to go surprise Michelle now.
Matthew brings his laundry to the loft and looks forward to eating lasagna. Bo hands Matthew a beer. When Destiny arrives, she and Matthew feel set up. Drew's home sick with a sitter, which leaves Matthew questioning Destiny's parenting. Matthew privately calls David for help. Soon, David and Dorian arrive, leaving Bo and Nora stunned to hear that Matthew called them. Later, Matthew and Destiny reconnect over old times. After dinner, Matthew sees a missed call from Michelle and leaves. Everyone else does as well. Bo prepares Nora for her first radio talk show and points to the laptop, queuing that she's live on-air.
Snoop signs a poster of "Reincarnated" for Dani at the apartment. He asks for time alone with Matthew and brings up him being a father. Snoop lights a cigar and tells Matthew a real man doesn't run or reject his blood. He's not there to lecture Matthew but rather to warn him about the regrets of not raising his son to be a man and not being a man himself. It's not too late for Matthew. He still has time before he's a full-blown deadbeat dad. "I know you're going to do the right thing," Snoop says and leaves. Dani and Jeffrey appear, upset to see Snoop gone. They all decide on a place to hang Snoop's signed poster.
Matthew looks at his 'to-do list' for work at the coffeehouse. When Destiny appears he apologizes for not being home to watch Drew. "You're a sorry loser, Matthew." He buys her and Drew a drink and gets irritated when Drew spills juice on his pants. Destiny calls Matthew a failure as a father. Nora appears, and quickly sneaks out, as Matthew buys Drew another juice. She watches, from outside, as Matthew holds Drew. Later, Destiny invites Matthew to dinner. He doesn't think it's a good idea and gets called away for work.
Matthew finds Jeffrey at home. Snoop arrives and has Jeffrey star-struck. Dani appears and is stunned as well.
After Jeffrey takes a call from Viki at their apartment Dani's upset to hear he has to leave. Matthew has over-the-phone plans with Michelle and can't go to Shelter with Dani either. Dani calls Matthew a jerk but soon apologizes. Matthew wishes she would lay off and expresses how much he likes Michelle. She knows him like no one else. Dani leaves, and Matthew and Michelle share small talk.
Matthew arrives home and is convinced to go running with Dani. Soon after, Destiny appears with Drew and hears Matthew forgot about watching his son and left with Dani. When Destiny knocks some of Jeffrey's papers over he stares at an envelope addressed to him. He admits the letter is from a man he owes his entire life to. His mom was the man's secretary, and he paid for his college. Destiny is uncomfortable taking money from people who aren't blood. Jeffrey thinks she should let the Buchanans help her. She's trying to get Matthew to step up and be a father. Later, Dani and Matthew return just as Destiny calls him a worthless father.

Cal's Top Lineman Out This Weekend
These are not the DEs you want your tackles to be injured against. That being said, maybe our Line will take advantage, put up some gaudy numbers, and spark the fire their gonna need for B1G play
I'd rather see Spence blow by the replacement, and have Simon eat a double team, leaving Goebel and Washington/Hankins to overpower up the middle. As much as I like Simon coming around the corner, it just makes sense that there are less blockers in the middle, the big men can penetrate, and the LBs can get good reads.
I'm glad we're getting back some players that we lost to injury against S. Utah!
Outside linebacker Chris McCain (shoulder) and tight end Richard Rodgers (foot), both injured against Southern Utah, are probable for the Buckeyes, Tedford said.
I'm with you BuckI.8. Best way to disrupt any offense is between the guards. A pass rush up the middle or staying strong in the middle against the run slows down any attack at any level. I'll take dominant tackles over ends if I had to choose one or the other.
Do I come off as arrogant? Shame on me, I was hoping it would be more obvious.

ACC Men's Coach of the Year (2013, 15)
Braden Holloway, a five-time All-America selection and 2001 graduate of NC State, enters his fourth season as head coach of the Wolfpack swimming and diving program. He was named to the position on June 29, 2011, by Director of Athletics Deborah A. Yow.
In four seasons at NC State, Holloway's tenure has been full of success. Overall, Holloway has captured the 2013 and 2015 Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) Men's Coach of the Year honors, coached 87 All-ACC performers, 66 individual All-America selections, 12 ACC Individual Champions and 14 ACC Relay Champions. Holloway's squad has also thrived in the classroom in his time in Raleigh, as 72 members of his squads have been placed on the ACC Academic Honor Roll, 37 student-athletes have been named to the All-ACC Academic Team and one member on the Capital One Academic All-District Team.
Throughout the 2014-15 campaign Holloway and his staff guided the men's team to an undefeated regular season, its 25th ACC Championship title and an eighth-place finish at the NCAA Championships. The season marked the first time in program history that both the men's and women's squads earned consecutive top-20 finishes at NCAAs, as the women finished 17th at the 2015 Championships. The women's team finished the regular season 5-3, followed by a fifth-place finish at the ACC Championships, where Riki Bonnema became the first woman in 19 years to earn a gold medal at ACCs. Combined, Holloway saw 40 All-America performances, 13 gold medals at the ACC Championships, 27 school records and Anton Ipsen earn ACC Male Freshman of the Year honors while Simonas Bilis tabbed ACC Male Swimmer of the Year honors. In turn of a historical season among the men's program, Holloway was named ACC Men's Swimming Coach of the Year.
In 2013-14, both the Wolfpack men's and women's squad each finished in the top 16 at the NCAA Championships, marking the first time in program history that each squad finished in the top-16 in the same season. After posting a 5-5 mark during the regular season, the men's team posted the highest finish for the program since the 1995-96 campaign with a second-place finish at the ACC Championships, while also posting a 13th-place finish at the NCAA Championships to mark the program's highest finish since the 1978-79 campaign. After a regular season that saw the squad tally a 6-5 mark, the Wolfpack women finished fourth at the ACC Championships to mark its highest placement since the 1992-93 season. At the NCAA Championships, the women posted a 16th-place finish for its best finish since the 1981-82 campaign. Overall, the men's squad saw nine swimmers earn All-American honors and seven women earned All-America status.
The 2012-13 campaign saw Holloway earn ACC Men's Coach of the Year honors, as the men capped the season with a 5-4-1 overall record and the women finished with a 7-4 mark. His men's squad capped the season with a top-15 finish at the NCAA Championships, the program's highest finish since the 1978-79 campaign. The finish also marked the highest among all ACC schools. The men's squad boasted eight individuals who claimed All-American honors at the NCAA Championships, while diver Hannah Hopkins of the women's squad claimed her second consecutive All-America honors on platform. The women finished the season with a 37th-place finish at the NCAA Championships. In his first full recruiting class, Holloway brought in a class that was ranked among the top-25 for men and women, according to CollegeSwimming.com.
The Pack enjoyed a tremendous amount of success throughout Holloway's inaugural season in 2011-12, as the men's team finished with a 9-2 overall ledger and the women finished with an 8-5 mark. The men's squad completed the regular season second in the ACC standings, while five athletes within the program garnered All-ACC honors. State was represented by Jonathan Boffa and Hopkins at the NCAA Championships, as Hopkins placed seventh on the platform competition en route to earning All-America honors.
Prior to returning to his alma mater, Holloway spent seven seasons on the coaching staff at Virginia Tech, including as associate head coach since 2008. His tenacity as recruiting coordinator helped revitalize the Hokies program, as his 2009-10 men's and women's signing classes were both nationally ranked by CollegeSwimming.com - a first for the program. The Hokies consistently improved under his tutelage, combining to set more than 30 new school records and obtaining more than 20 All-Americans and 15 ACC Champions throughout his tenure.
Prior to his stint at Virginia Tech, Holloway was an assistant coach at The University of the South from 2003-04. During that time he coached Matthew Martelli to All-America honors, while seven student-athletes won individual titles and the team established four school records.
Holloway enjoyed an illustrious collegiate career at State. He lettered with the Pack from 1998-2001, winning back-to-back ACC titles in the 100 backstroke in 2000-01, collecting all-conference honors all four years and setting an ACC record. A five-time All-American, he was ranked internationally in backstroke events and was an Olympic Trials qualifier for the 2000 Sydney Olympics. He was named to the ACC 50th Anniversary Team in 2002.
His swim in the 100 backstroke from 2000 ranks as the fourth fastest swim in program history, as he owns a total of four all-time top-10 marks in individual action.
A two-time Academic All-American, Holloway graduated from State in 2001 with a degree in parks, recreation and tourism management, serving as the commencement speaker for the College of Natural Resources. He completed his master's degree in education at Virginia Tech in the summer of 2007.
A native of Baton Rouge, La., Holloway is married to former State swimmer Mary Mittendorf, who still holds the eighth-fastest mark in the 200 IM in the Wolfpack record book. The Holloways have four children- daughter Blythe Marie, son Ethan Robert, daughter Brynn Elizabeth and son Holden Jon.

Battle to open Cheddar Gorge road in time for half term
Posted: February 07, 2013|
Longleat and other gorge businesses want to see the Cheddar Gorge road opened in time for half term.
But with water still cascading down the road from Black Rock, their hopes look certain to be washed away – along with vital holiday business.
The Cheddar Caves & Gorge owner Longleat is looking into getting a machine to divert the water off the affected B3135 by the source so it can dry out enough for repair, Cheddar Parish Council heard.
Councillor Andy Bosley, who was at a site meeting with Somerset County Council's highways department, Longleat and the National Trust, was sceptical if the road would reopen before Monday when half term began.
Related content
He said: "Realistically it does not look like it will be open. The big issue is by Black Rock. They can't do anything until the water stops running.
"If this will be an every year event more money is needed. If culverts have to be put across where the water runs, it will blow highways' budget for a year. If that has to be done its higher than Somerset's highways department.
"The gorge does not look like it's going to open any time soon. We are effectively the only road still closed from the storms before Christmas."
The road edges have crumbled away so much on the road that if a car strayed off it, then it would get stuck and damaged in the new roadside ditch carved by the running water.
There was no comment from Longleat at the time of going to press.
Andrew Turner, the area highways manager, told BBC Somerset that he could not put a timeframe on repairs.
He said: "We did about £5,000 of remedial work when the water started receding. But what we have found since then is it's all been washed out again.
"I think the problem we have at the moment is the strength of water. At the minute it's very difficult to get in and do some maintenance work and to also see those maintenance works disappear down to the bottom of the gorge.
"I spoke to a lady at the top of the gorge and she said she's never seen conditions like this ever. Really at this stage, until the water has substantially receded or slows down, it's very difficult to put a timeframe on it.
"With conditions as they are it's difficult to put maintenance in place and get the road open. You have to appreciate it's safety first."
The highways boss sympathised with traders who relied on the gorge for custom and promised additional signage to say it is business as usual.
Non-seasonal traders who operate out of the gorge remain open as the closure does not take effect until further up the beauty spot.
The lack of a timeframe is not good enough with the road closure being 80 days old on Wednesday, said motorist Trevor Prideaux of Wedmore, who drives to Chew Valley for work daily.
He said: "Sailor Alex Thomson has been around the world in 80 days. There's a hell of a lot of rocks dug up by the water but they can be swept away. There can be temporary traffic lights on the sections of road where it's bad.
"It's absolutely diabolical trying to get anything out of highways. You can't speak to an engineer directly and there's nothing on their website. I contacted my own MP, who was not able to update me.
"This is either engineering incompetence in not being able to solve a very simple problem or the county council has run out of money. Whichever way it is it's disastrous."
When repairs do happen, the highways department intends to strengthen the road edges and patch where needed.
The road won't be reopened and then closed again for repairs to happen. Instead the road will stay shut until it is fixed.
But Cheddar Parish Council questioned how wide the road would become once it was repaired. Repairs over the years has seen the road grow wider and wider where crumbled edges have been filled in by heavy machinery.
Mr Bosley reported the highways department will only repair the road where there is substrate.

Italy, a panorama of San Remo, calm, placid - until the rogue wave hit
Last week, several rogue waves hit the Italian shores around Sanremo. It happened mid-afternoon, without warning or explanation, and apparently ports along the Mediterranean coastline, reported as far away as Cannes, experienced the same rogue waves. The following Youtube video was taken by a camera on a large yacht which happened to be berthed in Sanremo.
It just shows you can never take anything for granted!

Welcome Back, NAM - We Hardly Knew You
Originally uploaded by mikeysklar
The North America Monsoon (NAM) showed up this evening delivering us a 1/2 inch of rain that was desperately needed. The best part about this iniital storm in my mind is the timing. Our last big year for monsoon rainfall was in 2006 where we received 3x the usual amount of rain and it started just two days earlier (June 22nd). The earlier that the NAM begin can indicate that water temperatures in the Gulf of Mexico and the Gulf of California are warmer than usual. Warmer water in those regions has been correlated to larger monsoon rainfall for the Southwest. The foreseeable forecast has a chance of moisture just about everyday which should make our thirsty garden shift into overdrive mode. Man did we need this rain.

Off Road Driving in the Israeli Desert
The true beauty of the Israeli desert can only be experienced far from the roads and towns that criss-cross it. The hidden canyons and wadis, beautiful flowers, amazing animals, and fascinating tales from throughout history, as well as many of the most amazing landscapes and viewpoints are far from the beaten track, and can only be truly explored by hiking, biking, camel, or… off road vehicle.
There are three main options when it comes to off road driving in Israel's desert south. Of course, as well as being the most practical way to explore the region, it is also immensely fun and exhilarating in itself. Whether you want to be driven in an air conditioned jeep, push your own driving to the limit in a quad bike, or take a more moderate self-driving experience in an ATV, it's all possible, and all immensely fun!
Jeep Tours in the Desert
Jeep tours can be found pretty well all over the Negev and Judean Deserts in southern Israel. Some of the hot-spots are the Judean Desert area between Jerusalem and the Dead Sea where highlights include the magnificent monasteries of St George and Mar Saba, the natural beauty of Wadi Qelt and Nahal Og, the rich history and tales that can be told of the countless empires who passed this route, and the breathtaking views across the Dead Sea, Jordanian Mountains, desert surroundings, and lowest city in the world, Jericho.
Jeep tours are also fun further south in the Judean Desert, in the land famous in the Bible for Sodom and Gomorrah, and throughout the Negev, particularly at Ein Avdat and the Zin Valley, Mount Karkom, and the Ramon Crater.
A half day jeep tour in Israel costs $375 and a full eight hour day $590. Prices are for up to eight passengers. More here
ATV in Israel
Self-driven ATV's are three seater vehicles which allow you to experience the thrill of desert driving relatively easily and comfortably. Whilst tours can be taken across the desert, the tours in the Negev are particularly interesting.
Quad Bike in Israel
For a more exhilarating driving experience in Israel's desert south, quad bikes are perhaps the best option. Seating one of two people (one behind the other), they offer a more challenging self-driving experience than ATV's and are incredibly fun if driving is fun for you.

The striker was a scoring substitute during Saturday's 3-3 draw against West Brom at Upton Park.
Maiga said: "I think overall there's not much wrong, perhaps a slight lacking in confidence.
"The only solution is to work hard. Hard work and then, ultimately, we'll see how it goes.
"We'll carry on working hard and I believe it's just the small things that are missing right now - but we'll be OK."
The Hammers have collected just two points from their last six league games and Maiga added of the West Brom draw: "It was a tough game physically.
"Though we're disappointed, the most important thing now is to pick ourselves up for the next game, so that things turn in our favour.
"Every point is important and the most important thing on Saturday was not to lose. We've got to try to continue to play as we did in the second half."
With Andy Carroll still recovering from his heel injury, Sam Allardyce has played with no more than one striker so far this season and Maiga is still adjusting to a change in approach.
"I'm really happy," he added.
"Though I'm not that used to playing in this system, I've dealt with it and I'm pleased to have scored. It's reward for me and for my work and I hope it's going to continue."

Paul and I had volunteered a few hours on the weekend to pass out water and MREs to flood victims in Coney Island. When we got another email appeal from Mayor Bloomberg's office to Vote, Then Volunteer on Tuesday, we signed up to spend the afternoon in Red Hook.
Shortly after 9 a.m., we walked to the poll in Midwood, to our usual voting place. It's in the basement of an apartment complex on 17th Street.
Initially, I wasn't sure if it would be the right place. We'd received several postcards assuring us that, because our area hadn't been badly damaged by Hurricane Sandy, our voting location hadn't changed. Then someone—nobody seemed to know who—had posted an official-looking announcement in our lobby that we were to vote on 25th Street instead.
As good fortune would have it, a neighbor happened through the lobby as I was puzzling over the notice, and told me he had just voted—on 17th, as usual.
So…Paul and I walked to 17th Street. And there was the reassuring Vote Here/Vote Aqui sign, and its corollary notice that it was illegal to politic within a designated number of feet from the polling place door.
The scene beyond that door was purgatorial. The room was filled with lines of people, milling, kvetching, waiting to vote. I had never, ever seen it so full.
Our polling place is manned by ancient Brooklynites, who sit behind long church-basement folding tables weighted with mountainous Great Books of Names. A woman of 90 or so guarded the door; she asked our address, and directed us to a second nonagenarian behind one of those Great Books.
We stood in line for ten minutes to reach the woman. She peered at her particular Great Book of Names through coke-bottle lenses. "O'Neill." She shook her head. "You're not here." Her tone was accusatory.
"But we always vote here."
"You're NOT HERE." She jabbed a spectral finger at the Great Book, then toward the next table. "Try that line," loin, in her Brooklyn-ese.
This second line snaked from the door to the far corner table, near the ballot-scanning machine. We nudged our way back through the crowd and took our places at the rear. An eternity passed, during which the woman at the door cheerfully pointed voters to the second woman, who—lips pursed, magnified eyes disapproving—sent most of them off to dither in our endless loin.
Two women sat behind the far table, their Great Books of Names before them. We finally, finally found ourselves facing one. A surprise: she was young, in her 20s.
"O'Neill," said Paul.
The young woman opened her ponderous Book. She perused the first page, running her finger down the names, her lips shaping to each. She turned to the second.
"It begins with O," said Paul.
She frowned and redoubled her efforts.
"Like Obama," he said. "Only it's O'Neill. O-N-E-I-L-L."
The girl pouted and pushed the Great Book away. The woman next to her retrieved it with a liver-spotted hand. She riffled through the pages, stopped, pointed to Paul's name.
In our voting place, once you find your name in the Great Book of Names, there follows a Mason-esque ritual: you sign; someone examines your signature, another someone fills out an index card and assigns a number that has nothing whatsoever to do with the purpose of voting; there is a discussion about the number; someone else jots it on a separate list—I have never seen this arcane process anywhere but here.
I watched with trepidation, hoping the polls wouldn't close before I received my ballot. And then, there it was, in my hand—that long white paper, tucked into a short manilla folder for privacy.
The Observer, a solemn fellow who resembled a pterodactyl in a yarmulke, directed us to our booths—tall, narrow podiums, the tops surrounded by plastic privacy screens.
I un-foldered my ballot and reached for the marker to black out those little ovals next to my choices. It was gone; its plastic leash was empty. I raised my hand to catch the eye of the prehistoric Observer. "There's no pen here," I said.
He looked nonplussed. He glanced over his shoulder as if one might materialize.
Paul finished voting and told me to take his booth. I did.
The privacy screens have a clear plastic pocket that holds a magnifier to help voters peruse the ballot's fine print. The pocket in my new booth also held a slick red-white-and-blue-printed pamphlet. I slipped it out: Vote for Romney/Ryan, said the caption below the photos of the smiling candidates.
I raised my hand again and called to the Observer. "There's campaign literature in the pocket of my booth."
He sighed. "These people," he said. He shook his head dolefully. "In time, they will receive their punishment."
"But—it's illegal to politic in a voting booth."
"Maybe someone will check it for fingaprints." He was serious.
I slipped the pamphlet back into the pocket, unwilling to tamper with evidence. Wondering if I should've worn rubber gloves.
When at last I tried to feed my ballot upside-down, as usual, into the scanner, it wouldn't take it. Another old poll attendant picked the ballot up, turned it over and noted my choices, then fed it in vote-side-up. "You have to be very kind—" coined—"to this machine," he said.
Having done our civic duty, Paul and I walked down to Coney Island Avenue to catch the bus that would take us to a second bus that would take us to Red Hook. It was 11:30 a.m.
"You never saw the Romney pamphlet?" I asked him.
"I didn't look," he said. "I just wanted to vote and get the hell out of there."
We stood for 20 minutes at the bus stop, wondering where the bus would stop, if it ever came–given that there was a line of cars waiting for their turn at a gas station six blocks up blocking the sidewalk—
But that's another story in the annals of Post-Apocalyptic Brooklyn…

Environmental Groups Encouraged To Apply For Keep Maryland Beautiful Grants
Crownsville, Md. (February 2, 2011)
— The Maryland Environmental Trust (MET) is now accepting applications for grants
through the Keep Maryland Beautiful program, an initiative dedicated to helping
volunteer-based non-profit groups or communities solve natural resource issues.
The grants are funded by the State Highway Administration, a division of the
Maryland Department of Transportation, as well as previous donations to MET.
"School groups, civic and community organizations have been encouraged by the financial support these grants provide to important local projects," said MET Director Elizabeth Buxton. "We are pleased to help communities solve a local environmental problem and contribute to solutions that significantly benefit Maryland's natural environment."
MET is offering two types of grants through the program: The Margaret Rosch Jones Award of up to $2,000 and The Bill James Environmental Grants of up to $1,000. The Margaret Rosch award will recognize an ongoing project that has already demonstrated success in solving an environmental issue, whether local or statewide. The Bill James Environmental Grants are awarded to nonprofit youth groups that initiate new environmental education projects in their communities.
The Margaret Rosch Jones Award honors a woman who demonstrated a dedication to preserving the Chesapeake Bay. Born in 1906, Margaret Jones had a genius IQ, wrote poetry and was a self-taught Latin scholar. Jones was the executive director and moving spirit of the Keep Maryland Beautiful Program for many years. The award is given to non-profit groups or communities who have a plan for an on-going, proven project that reflects Ms. Jones's qualities of devotion, energy and ingenuity in its work to re-build and enhance the community's natural resources.
The Bill James Environmental Grants are given in memory of William S. James and are awarded to school groups, science and ecology clubs, and other non-profit youth groups for proposed natural resource education projects. Born in Aberdeen in 1914, Bill James studied law at the University of Maryland and then practiced law in Bel Air for 38 years. He served as President of the Maryland Senate and was the principal architect of many of Maryland's most important environmental laws, including wetlands law, Program Open Space, and agricultural land preservation. Senator James drafted legislation to create the MET, incorporating the activities of the Governor's Committee to Keep Maryland Beautiful.
For MET to consider a project, it must demonstrate leadership and volunteer participation; offer potential benefits to the environment and community; and have a feasible plan, including goals, success criteria and time line for completion.
The deadline to apply is March 31, 2011. Application forms are available at www.dnr.state.md.us/met/grant_programs.asp
MET is a statewide land trust governed by a citizen board of trustees and affiliated with the Department of Natural Resources. It was established in 1967 by the Maryland General Assembly and is one of the oldest and most successful land trusts in the country. MET promotes the protection of open land through its Land Conservation Program, Monitoring and Stewardship Program and Local Land Trust Assistance Program. MET also provides grants to environmental education projects through the Keep Maryland Beautiful Program. For more information, visit the website www.dnr.maryland.gov/met.

City police looking for modest 'heroes'
HUNTINGTON -- The Huntington Police Department's recruiting campaign, "Be the Hero," sums up the agency's goals in finding its newest members.
Calling it a job that requires honesty, integrity, self-motivation and personal pride, training coordinator Cpl. Mike Chornobay said the department is looking for someone "who wants to be a hero, but doesn't want to be told they are."
"It's something we joke about as policemen," Chornobay said. "We're usually pretty humble and don't want to hear about what we've done on the news or read it in the newspaper and that's the kind of guys we want. Guys who want to be someone's hero, but don't need to hear it."
In the November election, city voters authorized a charter change to end a requirement that city employees live in the city, and Chornobay hopes that means more applicants will clear the screening process than in prior years. Applications are being accepted through April 12 as the department seeks to replace a few officers lost to retirement, bringing the full staff number back to 106 plus the police chief.
"We're hoping now that they removed the residency requirement, that'll really open the door for us. We have lost applicants in the past during the background phase because of that," he said. "I understand the reasons for wanting people who work for the city to live in the city for commerce and that, but there's always a safety concern for officers and their families who may not want to live where they work. Everybody knows when there's a police officer on their street."
The specifications of the application process are available in full at www.hpdrecruit.com. Starting at a base salary of approximately $35,000, potential candidates have the capability of earning paid overtime, shift differentials, longevity pay and more. Benefits range from holidays and vacation days to medical, vision and prescription benefits.
Applicants must be citizens of the United States between the ages of 18 and 40 who have earned a high school diploma or GED equivalent. They must undergo a series of physical and agility tests as well as background, polygraph, psychological and written examinations. The physical ability test will be conducted on April 27, followed by the written examination on May 9. Chornobay said once background screenings and interviews are completed, he hopes to have a group of candidates ready to enter the West Virginia State Police Academy's basic 15-week class in August.
"How many we're looking to hire is however many the city will allow us to," said Chornobay, noting that the department will likely add three to four new officers in the next few months.
For Chornobay, a 14-year veteran of law enforcement, nothing compares to the career he said is all he's done or ever wanted to do.
"There's obviously a sacrifice and some safety concerns, and you work a lot of hours and it can take a toll on your family, but when all is said and done, nothing is more rewarding," he said.
An application can be downloaded online at the HPD recruiting website, www.hpdrecruit.com. For more information, call 304-696-5560.

The Philadelphia Flyers etched themselves into the NHL record books this morning. The quickest coach firing in league history.
A mere 3 games into the 2013-2014 season the Philadelphia Flyers have made the first bench shake-up in the league. Peter Laviolette has been fired and taking his place as interim head coach will be assistant coach, Craig Berube
This is just another move in the long line of decisions General Manager Paul Holmgren has made. This should not come as a surprise to those who are aware of his tendency to make rather significant moves in what he deems is best for the franchise. The Richards and Carter trades, the Bryzgalov signing, the Weber offer sheet, Briere buy-out and Lecavalier signing are some of the more notable transactions he has been at the forefront of.
This has to be the "writing on the wall" for Holmgren who is surely feeling the pressure from ownership to produce a playoff contender.

Flyers Fire Head Coach
Monday, October 7, 2013
Laviolette relieved from Head Coaching duties
The Philadelphia Flyers etched themselves into the NHL record books this morning. The quickest coach firing in league history.
1 comments:
Not understanding this one. Why did you bring him back at all? Why did you let him get out of the pre-season? Staying within the organization isnt going to change the locker room culture or philosophy of the team. Unfair to Laviolette. Typical Flyers.

Authentic Bolognese
What really is the "Authentic" version of a Bolognese Sauce?
Does it have minced celery & carrots & bacon (pancetta)?
Does it have milk, beef stock, or wine in it?
Does it have herbs like bay, oregeno, basil, etc. or is it simple no herbs/spices except s&p?
Is it ground beef, pork or a mix?
Canned Tomatoes (Marzano?), or Sauce, or fresh tomatoes only?
What about tomato paste?
I am making my version right now, which is: Home Canned plum tomatoes, onion, garlic, ground beef, red wine, oregeno, chili peppers, grated carrot, and tomato paste cooked for 3/4 ish hours (depending on how hungry we are).
But this time decided to add milk & stock.... as one "authentic" recipe requested.
What do you think?

No. 759,490. PATENTED MAY 10, 1904. J. A. YATES.
APPLICATION FILED DEG. s, 1902.
Witnesses: J72 ve 7175-0 71' MM 5mm W W14. flw omiwm a cittorney Patented May 10, 1904.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 759,49Q, dated May 10, 1904.
Application filed December 8, 1902. Serial No. 134,238. (No model.)
To all whom, it may concern:
Be it known that I, JOHN A.YATES, of Rockport, in the county of Spencer and State of Indiana, have invented certain new and useful 5 Improvements in Tooth-Brushes, of which the following is a specification.
Tooth-brushes as at present constructed, so far as known to me, are provided with a back and handle formed from substantially rigid I materialsuch as bone, wood, and the like. The use of brushes thus constructed is believed in frequentcases to produce injury to the teeth and gums by reason of the rigidity of the brush. The fact that the force which is em- I 5 ployed in brushing the teeth is by these brushes transmitted to the teeth and gums renders it desirable and in many cases necessary to employ a considerable degree of care in the use of the brush.
2 My invention has for its object to provide a brush which shall possess rigidity enough to permit of the proper application of the brush to the teeth to clean the same, while at the same time permitting the brush proper or bristle portion thereof to yield relatively to the handle when an undue or unnecessary degree of force is applied, thereby reducing the-clanger of injury to the teeth or gums and avoid ing the objections above mentioned to the rigid 3 non-yielding brushes which are now in use.
The invention is fully set forth in the following specification, taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, and the novel features thereof'are pointed out and clearly defined in the claims at the close of this specilication.
In the drawings, Figure 1 shows a toothbrush embodying my invention, the dotted lines indicating positions which the handle of 4 the brush may be caused to assume by bending the neck or portion between the neck and handle of the brush. Fig. 2 is a plan view showing the neck of yielding material and a resilient reinforcing-strip,which is hereinafter referred to and which is shown in dotted lines. Figs. 3 and 4 are similar views showing modifications hereinafter referred to. Fig. 5 is a section on line 5 5, Fig. 2.
Having reference to the drawings, 1 designates what I shall term the back of the 5 brush, being that part thereof in which the bristles are set.
2 is the neck, of yielding material, and 3 is the handle.
The back or bristle-containing portion of the brush may be made of any well-known material and of any desired shape, and the bristles maybe given any form or configuration desired and may be secured in the back in any well-known manner. The handle 3 may also be made from any well-known ma terial and in any desired form. The neck 2, by which I designate the connecting portion between the back 1 and the handle, is made from flexible materialsuch, for example, as 5 rubber-which may be given the desired form by molding or in any other well-known man ner. The precise length and shape of the neck 2 are not material to my invention so long as its size and shape are such as to permit the back 7 to yield relatively to the handle when pressure is applied. The material of the neck should have such a degree of resiliency as will cause the neck and handle to assume their normal position when the pressure which is applied to flex or bend the neck is removed. As will be obvious and as is shown inthe drawings, the ends of the neck portion 2 which join the back and handle, respectively, should preferably correspond in cross-sectional shape and 30 size to the proximate portions of the back and handle, so that the finish and appearance of the brush will not be impaired. The flexible neck should be securely joined or united to the hack and handle, and this may be done in 5 any well-known manner. In practice I have found that good results are obtained by the employment of a reinforcing piece of flexible material-such, for example, as a flat or round wire of spring-steel--which is shown at 4:. 9 This wire is beneficial in that by its use the degree of resiliency desired may be more readily attained, and it also serves as an aid to secure the parts together firmly and conveniently.
I prefer to use a piece of metal of somewhat v greater length than the neck and to pass it centrally through the neck portion lengthwise thereof, as shown in Figs. 2 and 5,and insert the ends which project at either end of the neck portion into recesses or holes formed in the back and handle, respectively. The ends of the spring-piece 4 may be secured by cement or in any other suitable manner in the said recesses or sockets. By employing a springpiece which is flat or of ribbon shape the direction of flexure of the brush may be controlled and determined. The flat piece of spring metal is preferably placed with its flat sides parallel or substantially parallel -with the bristle-face of the brush, and the brush will then flex or yield in a plane at right angles to the flat face of the wire or strip 4 and longitudinally thereof. Byemploying a piece of spring metal of the proper size, flexibility, and resiliency the entire flexibility or yielding of the brush may result from and be controlled by the said wire or metal strip,in which case the part which I have designated 2 and called the neck of the brush will onlybe required to form a proper finish and covering for the flexible connecting Wire or strip 4, and the said neck 2 may in and of itself havelittle or no resiliency or spring, thereby permitting the employment of other than resilient materials in the construction of the neck 2. It will therefore be clear that without departing from the invention the neck, which I have designated 2, may be formed of yielding resilient material and may be employed without any resilient strip or Wire or similar device, or the reinforcing strip or wire of resilient material may be employed with a neck, also of yielding and resilient material as, for example, rubber or the yielding strip of metal or Wire may be entirely relied upon for the yielding or flexure of the brush relatively to the handle, as also for securing the back andhandle together, without employing a yielding covering of any kind for the resilient strip or wire.
, In Figs. 3 and 4 I have shown modified forms of the neck 2, the form shown in Fig. 3 being provided at each end thereof with a projection 5, which is mortised into the proximate portions of the back and handle, the said projections 5 being received in recesses formed 7 in the said back and handle, as will be clear.
This method of joining the neck portion to the a back and handle is advantageous in many cases in that firmer and better joints are secured between these parts. In Fig. 4 the projections 5, which are shown in Fig. 3, are replaced by dovetailed projections 6, which are in the same manner set into corresponding recesses in the back and handle and serve to increase the firmness and strength of the union between the parts and to prevent the back and handle from being separated from the neck by strain applied lengthwise of the brush, which would tend to pull the parts thereof apart. As will be clear, the form of joint between the neck and the back or handle may be varied, as also the method of joining the parts in any well-known manner.
What I claim is 1. A tooth-brush having a back provided with bristles and also having between the back and handle thereof an interposed piece of flexible resilient material, to relieve the action of the bristles upon the teeth and gums of the user, for the purposes and substantially as described.
2. A tooth-brush comprising a back, a handle, and an intermediate neck of flexible resilient material, said neck having at the ends thereof projections which enter corresponding recesses in the back and handle, substantially as described.
3. Atooth-brush' having a back furnished with bristles and also having a flexible portion intermediate the back and handle thereof, to relieve the action of the bristles upon the teeth and gums of the user, said portion comprising a piece of yielding material and a reinforce of yielding resilient material, substantially as described.
4. A tooth-brush having a back furnished with bristles and also having a flexible portion intermediate the back and handle thereof, to relieve the action of the bristles upon the teeth and gums of the user, said portion comprisinga piece of yielding material, and a reinforce of yielding resilient material, said reinforce projecting beyond the yielding material and being secured at each end in the back and handle of the brush respectively, substantially as described.
In testimony whereof I have affixed my signature, in presence of two witnesses, this 2d day of December, 1902.

Ben Kingsley might not have been nominated for any awards at the Golden Globes tonight, but that doesn't mean he didn't enjoy the ceremonies. Particularly the events going on in the general vicinity of his lap. Twitter blew up during tonight's broadcast after the cameras caught the Hugo star being used as an Academy-Award winning chair by a lovely younger woman. In case you're wondering, the lady in question was in fact Sir Kingsley's wife, actress Daniela Lavender, not some extremely confused yet enthusiastic seat filler. Either way, it's sort of weird to see Gandhi enjoying some lap shenanigans, right? Does it help if we remind you that he was also in The Love Guru? Dear god, we just made it so much worst.
