Yellow and green flags were waving from the facade of Leverett House this weekend as students moved into McKinlock Hall, which was reopening after over a year of construction.
The building is the largest completed renovation to date in the College's more than $1 billion House renewal project, and the modernized social spaces and bedrooms have drawn praise from the Leverett community.
"It's spacious, it's clean, it's wonderful, to be honest. I couldn't be happier with my rooming situation," said McKinlock resident Cecilia M. Eberhard '17.
Sula B. Ndousse-Fetter '17, another new resident, echoed Eberhard's sentiments.
"It's amazing," she said. "There's hardwood flooring, and I think some furniture came with some of the suites, so there's really nothing to complain about."
The long hallways—which resemble those of Quincy's renovated Stone Hall—feature a combination of singles, doubles, triples, and larger suites, as well as shared common spaces with couches, tables, and a television. The project included the first dining hall rennovation of the renewal process.
The building also houses elevators and gender-neutral restrooms. The changes are part of a push throughout the House renewal process to improve dorm accessibility.
While all of the restrooms are currently labeled as unisex, some may soon revert to single-sex. According to Eberhard, members of the McKinlock entryways will convene this week to determine which restrooms will be designated as single-sex and which will remain unisex.
"It's really nice that they're considering our personal views on the whole thing," she said.
Leverett House Master Howard Georgi '67 expressed his enthusiasm for the newly renovated hall and highlighted the addition of new common spaces that he hopes may help students have impromptu events.
"My favorite is the Rabbit Hole—our name for the basement common room. Leverites have already started hanging out there," Georgi wrote in an email.
The renovated basement boasts art spaces, music practice rooms, and a lounge with games and study spaces. After moving in, Ndousse-Fetter and Kat E. Kearney '17 made use of the communal art supplies to paint in the basement.

Product description
`Twelve Years a Slave, `a chronicle of the amazing ordeal of a free African-American kidnapped in the north, and impressed into slavery in Louisiana, is one of the most compelling and detailed slave narratives in existence. The text and story were virtually unchallenged by Southern apologists or partisans of the era. Northup resists the urge to laud himself as an exemplary character or focus solely his own experience, giving contemporary readers a remarkable account of the lives of the slave community as a whole. As an educated man, torn from freedom and plunged into slavery, he brings into horrible and tantalizingly exact clarity the life and labor of slaves in the antebellum American South, the complex economic choices and ironic moral concessions of slaveholding, and the calamitous effect of slavery on the foundations of civilization.

Author information
Born in 1808, Solomon Northup lived the life of a free man and educated tradesman in New York. He was early acquainted with voting and civic life through his father, and he developed a strong sense of his own liberty and dignity. Like his father, he maintained a cordial relationship with the white family that had previously held his own family in bondage, an association that would help secure his freedom. Northup and his wife, Anne Hampton Northup, were engaged in a quintessentially American quest for social and economic advancement when he was enticed away from the safety of Saratoga Springs, New York, with the promise of work and kidnapped into slavery in 1841.

Welcome the the Vegan Household ~ Home to the Gourmet Vegan
Hi. My name is Danny and I love to cook…and more than that…I love to share my recipes with others. I have been Vegan since 2011; finally making the transition from Vegetarian of which I had been since my early teens.
With just a quick browse of my recipes you will see that my style of cooking is quite diverse. I love experimenting with foods from other cultures and working with different techniques to create original and exciting meals. Flavour combinations are another passion of mine, as is finding new and exciting uses for common store cupboard ingredients.
I was lucky to have had the opportunity of spending many years living overseas, mostly in Spain and Tenerife, and this is where my love of working with fresh ingredients really took off. It was also where my experimentation with food really started happening due to the lack of many essentials that we take for granted in the UK.
I love to hear from those that have the same passion for food as I do. There are various ways you can contact me and so please check out the contact page where you will find details of my various social media pages and email.
My main hope is that you try out the recipes for yourselves and then share your thoughts with me. There are various areas of the site where you can leave your comments, such as at the bottom of the recipe pages and also on the forum which I hope you will enjoy using. It's always great to have your feedback .
Enjoy your time here and be sure to visit often to see new and exciting recipes which are added on a regular basis.

To see recipe, go to letsmove.gov/blog/2013/07/08/slam-dunk-veggie-burger
WASHINGTON - The White House special lunch on Tuesday included samples of "Bodacious Banana Muffins" and "Lucky Lettuce Cups" as well as praise for a winning creation from a Sugar Land girl, who concocted the "Slam Dunk Veggie Burger."
Devanshi Udeshi's recipe earned the 12-year-old high marks from first lady Michelle Obama and others with discriminating palates. Devanshi was among 54 winners in the "Healthy Lunchtime Challenge," a contest that gave kids between 8 and 12 a chance to create a healthy, affordable recipe that would comply with the MyPlate guidelines compiled by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. On Tuesday, the winners sat down to some of those recipes at the Kids State Dinner.
Before lunch, winners were given the opportunity to take pictures and chat about healthy eating with the first lady.
At the photo session, Obama said "she's really proud of us for making this happen and making a change in our diet and eating healthy," Devanshi said.
President Barack Obama made a surprise visit.
He told the youngsters that they were "setting up habits that are going to be great for your entire life."
The afternoon ended with a tour of the White House garden.
While the kids ran around the gardens and took pictures of each other with the White House in the background, parents stood back to reflect on the memorable day.
"Oh, it was like a dream come true," said Devanshi's mother, Neelam Udeshi
"I really almost fainted when I saw the first lady and the president."

The first Aggie to achieve the rare feat was Willie Joseph with 12 points, 11 assists and 11 rebounds against Simon Fraser, Nov. 22, 1988.

Jonathan, I second everything you say. I'd only add that there is a vitally important lesson for our own times in the story of Charlie Wilson and Afghanistan. The movie about Wilson's efforts ends with this line: "These things happened. They were glorious and they changed the world. Then we f****d up the endgame."
Gen. Stanley McChrystal has more recently conveyed a similar sentiment in less colorful terms. "A strategy that does not leave Afghanistan in a stable position is probably a short-sighted strategy."
The commander in chief's thoughts on the matter? "I have determined that it is in our vital national interest to send an additional 30,000 U.S. troops to Afghanistan. After 18 months, our troops will begin to come home."
How does that bode for the endgame issue? In twenty years, another book and movie can hit the market about how we changed the world by destroying the Islamist threat in Afghanistan only to see our efforts undone by a pre-set troop drawdown.
What decimated Afghanistan after the Soviets were pushed out was the lack of American follow-through. Charlie Wilson's War is not a tragedy of misguided adventurism. It's the story of heroic enterprise undermined by short-sightedness and political cowardice.

Opening to
Double Vision
by Pat Barker
There is a character in Pat Barker's novel Double Vision who is a would-be writer. This character mentions novelist Ian McEwan as an influence, a writer he admires. Late in Double Vision there is a sudden, violent home invasion that comes to the reader as a bolt-from-the-blue much like the one that takes place in Mr. McEwan's novel Saturday. A-ha, I thought while reading, Double Vision, Ms. Barker is quietly acknowledging a little plot twist she has approriated from Mr. McEwan. Good for her.
Turns out, Double Vision came out two years prior to Saturday. Was, Mr. McEwan, instead, inspired by Ms. Barker. I cannot say. I can say that I was feeling quite pleased with myself for picking up this reference, only to be disappointed by the research I did afterwards. Oh, well.
Double Vision is a decent book by an author who has written much better. In Double Vision, Ms. Barker follows tropes familiar to her readers-- there is a focus on the creation of art along with a narration that shifts focus amoung a connected cast of characters. The characters revolve around a sculptor whose photo-journalist husband was recently killed while on assignment in Afghanistan. Their close friend, her husband's journalist partner, has arrived to sort through a lifetime of photographs for a book he is working on. A youngish man who has been released from prison assists the sculptor while working on his own art, short stories which show promise enough to find a publisher by the book's end.
While Double Vision is good, it's very familiar, too familiar if you ask me. There's a definate sense that Ms. Barker has done all this before. I found a tendency to sermonize in Double Vision that I haven't found in Ms. Barker's other work. While her characters here are all as fullly realized as any she has done elsewhere, there is sometimes a clear sense of an author behind them, pulling the strings, leading them into discussions of certain issues in ways that do not ring completely true to life.
Midway through the book, the journalist Stephen begins an affair with a much younger woman, Justine. One evening they have this coversation while watching Panorama, a televisoin news program:
'Why won't you watch the news?' he asked. It staggared him, this indifference to what was going on in the world.
She shrugged. 'I don't see the point. There's nothing I can do about it. If it's something like a famine, OK, you can contribute, but with a lot of this there's nothing anybody can do except gawp and say, "ooh, isn't it awful?" when really they don't give a damn. It's all pumped-up emotion, it's just false, like when those families come on TV because somebody's gone missing, or thousands of people send flowers to people they don't know. It's just Wanking.'
That last word was the give-away. 'But you can't have a democracy if people don't know what's going on.'
'You can read the papers. It's the voyeurism of looking at it, that's what's wrong. Do you know, some people never wacth the news, on principle.'
"I don't know how people tell the difference between principle and just being too fucking self-centered to care.'
People do talk about current events in real life, of course. People even sermonize about them. Bringing contemporary issues to the forground in a novel must be a challenging task. How do you make the discussion organic, something that grows out of the story? How do you avoid simply setting competing characters onto soapboxes? I don't have an answer, but this issue became a problem for me while reading Double Vision; it has not been a problem in Ms. Barker's other novels. Not for me, at least.
The issue of how artists can represent extreme cases of human suffering is central to Double Vision, but too often I felt Ms. Barker should simply put her thoughts on the topic into an essay. I began to feel that her characters were functioning as points in the argument she was making rather than as characters in a novel.
Kate, the sculptor has become a bit obsessed with Goya's later work. She and Stephen have several conversations about Goya through the novel. Towards the end she goes to visit the Bowes museum where Goya's painting The Interior of a Prison is on display.
...She stood back. Knelt down. Stared. And because she'd only recently been talking to Stephen, she wondered whether any photograph, however great, could prompt the same complexity of resposne as this painting. Photographs shock, terrify, arouse compassion, anger, even drive people to take action, but does the photograph of an atrocity ever inspire hope? This did. These men have no hope, no past, no future, yet, seeing this scene through Goya's steady and compassionate eye, it was impossible to feel anything as simple or as trivial as despair.
I've never seen the Goya in question, so I won't comment on whether or not Kate is correct. I've seen enough of Goya's work to know that she could be right and I've seen enough art work period to know that one should never judge a painting by looking at a photograph of it. (None-the-less I've included a picture of The Interior of a Prison above.) I'm not going to discuss whether or not despair is simple and trivial.
I will say that I was bothered by passages like this one and by sections of dialogue like the one quoted above throughout Double Vision. I couldn't help feeling that Ms. Barker was interrupting her narrative to make the points she wanted to make, instead of structuring the narrative to make those points for her. I felt none of this reading her other novels. The Regeneration Trilogy, about a group of men undergoing psychiatric treatment, is full of characters sitting around talking about profound topics, but I always felt I was listening to a set of people having a conversation, not to an author working through her own ideas.

GREENVILLE — A 44-year-old man has died and his 5-year-old daughter has been hurt after they fell at a Greenville County waterfall.
The coroner's office said Mark Jones of Taylors slipped over the edge of Wildcat Branch Falls in the northern part of the county around 3:30 p.m. Sunday, falling about 100 feet. He died a few hours later at the hospital.
Deputy Coroner Kent Dill says Jones was hiking with his 5-year-old daughter, who also fell from the falls. Investigators think she may have been trying to help her dad. She is at the hospital. Her condition was not known.
Dill says Jones texted his wife minutes before he fell telling her the area was beautiful and he was having a great time.

text: Chanel Alchimie (591) Le Vernis Nail Colour ($27.00 for 0.40 fl. oz.) is described as a "golden khaki." It's a warm-toned, golden-shimmered olive green with threads of metallic shimmer. It's warmer, more yellow-toned, than a true olive green. I used two thicker coats to minimize streakiness (thin coats produced quite a bit of that), and while it self-leveled somewhat, there was still a good deal of visible brush strokes with this shade. OCC Ripley is much darker, more blackened and less green. The consistency seemed a little watery. Cult Nails in a Trance has less shimmer, so it appears darker. China Glaze Peac eon Earth is more metallic, warmer. China Glasze Agro is much darker. See comparison swatches.

Note: For additional information and footnotes, please see the 3nd edition of RID's popular publication, Unnecessary Deaths: The Human and Financial Costs of Hospital InfectionsEvery day in hospitals across, the United States wondrous medical procedures rescue patients from the brink of death. But there's a catch. In these same hospitals, hygiene is so inadequate that one out of every twenty patients contracts an infection.
Infections that have been nearly eradicated in some countries are raging through American hospitals. In 2003, the Society for Healthcare Epidemiologists of America warned that although hospitals have infection prevention programs, "there is little evidence of control in most facilities."
The danger is worsening because hospital infections, increasingly, cannot be tamed with commonlyused antibiotics. One of the deadliest germs is methicillinresistant Staphylococcus aureus (or MRSA). Patients who do survive MRSA often spend months in the hospital and endure repeated surgeries to cut out infected tissue. In 1974, 2 percent of Staph infections were MRSA. By 1995, the number had climbed to 22%, in 2003 an alarming 57%, and now over 60%.
Denmark, Holland, and Finland once faced similar rates, but brought them down below 1 percent. How? Through rigorous hand hygiene, meticulous cleaning of equipment and rooms in between patient use, testing incoming patients for MRSA and other drug resistant bacteria, and taking precautions to prevent transmission to other patients. Wheelchairs and other equipment used to transport patients who test positive for MRSA are not used for other patients, and hospital staff have to change their uniforms and footwear after entering the rooms of MRSA patients, before they are permitted in other areas of the hospital.
A few hospitalstoo fewin the United States are proving these precautions work here too. The University of Virginia Hospital eradicated MRSA. The Veterans Hospital in Pittsburgh reduced MRSA by 85 percent in a pilot program. The University of PittsburghPresbyterian Medical Center slashed MRSA by 90 percent in the medical intensive care units in a pilot program, and a Yaleaffiliated hospital in New Haven, Connecticut, cut MRSA infections by two thirds in a surgical intensive care unit. Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston reduced MRSA bacteremia 77% in intensive care and 67% hospitalwide. Twentynine healthcare institutions in Iowa eliminated another drugresistant germ, vancomycinresistant Enterococcus (or VRE).
Unfortunately, most U.S. hospitals have not implemented these precautions.

Blues Off to Mediocre Start in Simulated NHL Season
Categories: Blues
|EA Sports
|Lockout? What lockout?
The maker of the popular video game NHL 13 is simulating the NHL season online, and so far the St. Louis Blues are off to a less-than-stellar first half. As of Sunday, EA Sports had the Blues at a 4-4-2 record good for tenth place in the Western Conference.
The good news?
Last week the Blues avenged their playoff ouster from last season by beating the Los Angeles Kings 3-2 with a Patrick Berglund goal late in third period.
Below are a few more NHL Week 3 highlights (presented in the fashion of ESPN's Sports Center) courtesy of EA Sports.

Toledo – Eastern Michigan NotebookWritten by Zach Davis | | email@example.com
As Toledo amazingly grabbed just its third win of the season on Oct. 8, the Rockets cruised past a clearly overmatched Eastern Michigan squad despite a litany of injuries. Toledo (3-3, 2-0 Mid-American Conference) established themselves as the team to beat in the MAC with close losses to Ohio State and Syracuse and a statement blowout victory over conference-foe Temple, and they did nothing to hurt that reputation after throttling the Eagles.
Page gets UT receptions record. Is the NCAA record next?
The biggest storyline coming from Toledo's win over EMU was (as usual) the performance of junior Eric Page. The dynamic wide receiver caught 11 balls for 109 yards and one score to grab Toledo's all-time receiving record with 235 catches, eclipsing former wideout Stephen Williams' (2006-09) mark of 229.
Breaking a school record just halfway into his third season is phoenominal. That success raises the question, can Page break the NCAA's all-time mark? The answer is unequivocally 'yes.'
The NCAA's current record holder is former Purdue wideout Taylor Stubblefield, who grabbed 317 catches between 2001-04.
Page's real competition, however, will be Oklahoma wide receiver Ryan Broyles. After the third-ranked Sooners massacre of rival No. 11 Texas, Broyles inched to within four receptions of the all-time mark with 313 catches.
With the Big 12 losing its conference championship game after two teams left the conference (Colorado, Nebraska) this season, Broyles has just seven career games remaining including a bowl game. If Broyles maintains his career receptions average of 7.11 receptions per game, the OU wideout would finish his career with nearly 363 catches.
Even if Broyles eclipses the old record by nearly 50 catches, Page is clearly a threat for the record. Over the remainder of this year combined with 2012, Page has a minimum total of 18 games he can play in. Toledo also has the possibility of playing in four additional games including two possible conference championships and two bowl games.
If Page continues to grab his career average of 7.58 receptions per contest, Page would rack up over 371 catches in the minimum of 18 games and potentially up to nearly 402 receptions if UT made two MAC Championships and bowl games.
The bottomline is Page is on pace to have a career unlike anything the college football world has ever seen when it comes to receptions and barring injury the homegrown product has the potential to put his name in the record books for many years to come.
Injuries just keep coming
At this point, it's just getting ridiculous.
An already injury-plagued Toledo roster, most notably on defense, suffered three more setbacks on Oct. 8 with the loss of tight end Danny Noble, defensive end T.J. Fatinikun and safety Jermaine Robinson.
The biggest confirmed loss is Noble, who UT Head Coach Tim Beckman said could possibly miss the rest of the season with a broken fibula. Beckman said he hoped Noble could return late in the year but judging by Noble's reaction on the field and the severeness of the injury itself, it's hard to picture Noble returning this season.
While Noble's injury is damaging, the loss of T.J. Fatinikun could be devastating to the Rockets hopes of winning a league title. The early word on Fatinikun is that he had an elbow injury and that it would be evaluated on a daily basis. Although that sounds positive, Beckman also said that his elbow "was out and then went back in."
Elbow dislocations are potentially very damaging. Just two days ago, St. Louis Rams wide receiver Danny Amendola suffered a dislocated elbow which will end the remainder of his season. Judging by how gruesome Fatinikun's injury appeared, it wouldn't be a shock to see the talented defensive end miss an extended period of time.
Robinson is yet another potentially disastrous injury to a defense still reeling from injuries. The junior safety suffered a right arm injury and left the field in a cast. Beckman said that if necessary Robinson could have played the second half if he was needed for the Rockets.
The loss of Robinson would be devastating to a safety unit whose depth has taken a big hit over the course of the year. After free safety Mark Singer was declared out for the remainder of the season during training camp with a shoulder injury, Robinson's backup Diauntae Morrow moved to the other safety spot to fill the void. The Rockets also dismissed "star" (linebacker/safety hybrid) Isaiah Ballard before the season.
Injuries are nothing new to Toledo this year. The Rockets lost arguably their top defensive player in linebacker Dan Molls after just one game this season. Molls, who has an unknown leg injury, has yet to return to the lineup but was out of a walking boot for the first time this season on a UT sideline against the Eagles. The Rockets also lost Second-Team All-MAC running back Adonis Thomas to a broken arm for a period of four-to-six weeks on Sept. 24. Starters including 'star' Charles Rancifer (pinched nerve), linebacker Robert Bell (ribs) and cornerbacks Desmond Marrow (concussion) and Taikwon Paige (leg) have all also missed time with injuries this season.
The two QB system is back
Last week in a matchup between two of the MAC's top schools, sophomore quarterback Terrance Owens was a healthy scratch in last week's 36-13 victory over Temple. Beckman said after the game that the decision to stay with junior Austin Dantin was due to his performance and that Owens had originally been scheduled to be a part of the rotation.
Against Eastern Michigan, however, the two quarterback system was in full force. Dantin completed 14-of-16 passes for 156 yards and two touchdowns. Owens also enjoyed success, setting a UT record for completion percentage after completing 13-of-14 passes for 146 yards and two scores.
Pasquale continues to dominate Eastern Michigan
If there has been one player who has excelled against the Eagles, it has been junior David Pasquale. The junior quarterback-turned-running back rushed for 49 yards and a touchdown on just seven carries against EMU on Oct. 8.
Over his three year career, Pasquale has rushed 25 times for 171 yards (6.84 yards per carry) and four touchdowns (three rushing) against Eastern Michigan. Against all other teams, Pasquale has totaled 180 yards on 48 carries (3.75 ypc) with two scores.

Outlook: Disciplined play will be the key for the Blue Streaks as they try once again to move up the Blue Division standings.
"We have the talent," said Coons. "We have to get them to play disciplined so they don't take penalties that hurt the team."
Ims, Legall and Ivory form a potent attack. Ims led Saratoga with 31 goals last year, while Legall and Ivory each recorded 22 goals. Ivory also had 19 assists, and Legall contributed 18 assists and 101 ground balls.
Defensively, the Blue Streaks will need Roberts and Morency to step up right away and help Scully and Boucher.
"Those two coming in look really promising," said Coons.
Saratoga opens its season March 31 with a non-league game against Suffern at Kingston's Dietz Stadium. Its first league game is April 5 against Shaker.
Shaker Blue Bison
Head coach: Shawn Hennessey
Key veterans: Sam Cuddleback (attack), Brian Tourtellott (defenseman), A.J. Battaglia (goaltender), Michael Bette (midfielder), Ryan Gifford (midfielder), Alex Bendon (long-stick midfielder), Nick DeFrancesco (attack)
Key newcomers: Michael Battaglia (attack), Michael Gifford (midfielder), Luke Walsh (midfielder), Brian Zimmer (attack), Stefan Debkowski (midfielder/attack)
Outlook: The Blue Bison suffered the most off-season upheaval in the league after long-time coach Joe Bennett was fired March 2 " three days before the start of practice " while the North Colonie Central School District conducted a disciplinary hearing on an insubordination claim surrounding his role as the district's teachers aide union president.
"With the unfortunate situation that we've had, the kids have really responded well," said Hennessey, who had been Bennett's assistant coach the last several seasons. "They really want to play lacrosse."
Shaker graduated several key players from last year's team, but Hennessey said he is confident that veterans such as Cuddleback, Bette, Gifford and DeFrancesco will help groom the next group of offensive players.

Let's Talk About Sex! New Test for Heart Disease
Coronary artery disease is the leading cause of death worldwide. While there have been great strides in preventing it, the hardest part has been figuring out who is at high risk, especially since men and women often have different symptoms. Now, a new sex-specific blood test is helping answer that.
Whether challenging herself to a game of ping pong or taking her dog "puppy" out for a walk, Mandy Welsheimer tries to stay active especially since she has a family history of heart disease.
"Both my grandfathers had coronary artery disease, one died of a heart attack when he was 56, and the other one ended up with a pacemaker," Mandy told Ivanhoe.
When she began to have chest pain, she decided to take a first of its kind blood test to determine her risk.
"This test actually looks at what's going on right now at the molecular level in your particular body and then can tell us what your chance of having a problem is right now," Dr. Alan Grossman, Medical Director of Non-Invasive Cardiology at the Heart and Vascular Center of Arizona, told Ivanhoe.
The Corus CAD test works by measuring the activity of 23 genes in your blood that change when there's a blockage in the arteries. The test comes up with a score indicating your likelihood of a blockage and is the first to be sex-specific. Two multi-center trials found it more accurate than the current standard, nuclear stress testing, with a 96 percent negative predictive value versus 88 percent. Meaning if the test says you don't have CAD, there's a 96 percent chance you don't have a major blockage.
"It certainly is a huge relief for a lot of patients," Dr. Grossman explained.
Mandy's score came back low.
"It put my mind at ease," Mandy said.
Dr. Grossman says the new test can help doctors decide if invasive approaches are necessary for patients. The test is currently covered under Medicare.

(ABC 6 NEWS) -- Chris Frisch is the drunk driver who killed five people in a car accident just south of Rochester four years ago. In part two of an ABC 6 News exclusive interview, we sit down with Rita Seha. She is the sole survivor of the van that Chris hit. Rita is missing five of her closest family and friends, all because Chris Frisch was driving a car drunk.
Chris is behind bars, but what surprised us the most is the fact that he and Rita have developed a very close friendship.
When Rita's son, Corey, got married last month, it was naturally a happy family occasion. But there are five very important people missing from the family photos.
"In one of the pictures, it's Corey, his dad, and Heidi's dad, and myself. And the sun is shining through the clouds. It's like the lights of heaven shining down on us," said Rita.
Rita's fiance, two of her kids, her grandson, and a close family friend were all killed by a drunk driver four years ago.
"It seems like the last two years have been even harder. The hardest parts are the holidays, their birthdays, every day I wake up and don't ever go through an hour of a day without thinking of one of them," said Rita.
All of them are gone, and all because of the decision to drink and drive. A decision made by Chris Frisch, who has been behind bars since 2010. But even so, Rita says she has found it in her heart to forgive Chris.
"Christopher didn't set out that day to kill my family, just like I didn't set out to have my family in a certain spot at a certain time," said Rita.
Not only has Rita forgiven Chris, the two also write letters back and forth. And a year ago, she even went to visit him in prison.
"I never asked why. I never asked questions about the accident. We talked about each other. What it was like growing up, and just got to know each other," said Rita.
"I don't really know how to describe it really. It's special. She's just a great person," said Chris.
It's not just Chris. Rita has also developed a very special bond with his mother, Bobbi.
"We're really close. She's been one of my friends I've turned to when I'm in sorrow, and hurting. Eleven o'clock at night, five in the morning. She's been there for me, I've been there for her," said Rita.
"I just think that she's so amazing. I just love her. I do. She's like a sister. I've never had sisters, but I do now," said Bobbi.
Earlier this spring, Rita even stood up for Bobbi at her wedding.
"Rita! First person who came into my mind who to have stand up for me. When I called right away, and she says "i'll be there" and i was so thrilled. It's like, oh my gosh, I just love our relationship," said Bobbi.
As for Chris, the man who killed her family, Rita says she only hopes to strengthen their relationship as they move forward from that tragic night four years ago.
"You know, she doesn't have a lot of her family anymore, and she wants to include me in that, which is pretty big," said Chris.
"He did something wrong. He's paying for his time with the law, but he pays for the rest of his life like I do. Surviving it," said Rita.
When Chris is released from prison, he plans on helping Rita get the message out about drunk driving by going with her to speaking events. In the meantime, both say they hope to continue to grow their relationship.

That Jimmy Wales, Wikipedia creator, was homeschooling his child. I found that tidbit on the Popwire: Jimmy Wales: trying to educate the planet via Wikipedia. His daughter is only 5 and Florida's compulsory attendance age apparently starts at 6. So I guess homeschoolers couldn't have official bragging rights yet. (I'd be bragging as I am an Open Source/Wiki fan, as are a few others who poke about with Home Education Magazine.)
For instance, Helen noted this last year on her blog. So seeing as Mr. Wales is into homeschooling, it's not a surprise that he was interested in the possibilities of Free the Curriculum! I don't think he finished up his list (or I can't find it).
I would imagine his family might be of the unschooling or discovery led style? He's moved on to new adventures. Happy learning trails to Mr. Wiki and his homeschooling family!

Fall Out Boy superfan Cordia Jester, who founded the music blog Hit It Off Media, has a special tattoo in the works.
Posting the photo above on Instagram, Jester is close to finishing a tribute to Fall Out Boy frontman Patrick Stump and his signature Gretsch Stump-O-Matic Electromatic CVT.
When contacted about the custom ink, Jester explained her devotion to the band and to Stump.
"My tattoo was actually initially thought of during 'Save Rock and Roll' on their most recent tour," she wrote. "I broke into tears during their set, and afterwards while waiting for Patrick to come sign, I just kept thinking of the one line, and it sounded like the perfect tattoo.
"The words mean so much to me. I've been immersed in music and the music business my entire life, and it is my dream to do something great within the music industry. Saving rock and roll to me is very real. I chose the Stump-O-Matic because it's such a simple, and sleek guitar, and it's recognized as Patrick's guitar. Fall Out Boy was the first large concert I ever went to, and when I was 11 I had this crazy obsession with Patrick. I stuck with him through the whole hiatus.
"He inspires me. He has an amazing way with words. He's truly a person to look up to and aspire to be like; not to mention his voice is like butter. I knew I wanted a guitar behind the lyrics, and it had to be his. It wouldn't be right if it wasn't."
Check out progress of the tattoo via Jester's Instagram account here.

Gear Review
True to size
I normally wear US12 in most shoes. My left foot is slightly longer than my right by like 5mm or so.
I ordered the US11.5 because everyone said they run big, but I find it is probably ever so slightly too small in the left foot.
If I was to order again I would get the size 12
But these shoes are great, I love the blue colour and they are super super sticky on my pedals for my mountain bike.

Fauna Marin Debuts New Additives
Our friends at Fauna Marin are dead serious about finding the perfect balance of water chemistry and feeding formulas for all varieties of aquariums. In the world of ULNS or Zeo tanks, there is a big focus on developing and enhancing coloration within corals and the primary means have been via amino acids and vitamins. These new additions to the Ultra line of additives seem to go one step further by targeting the exact color pigments you want to enhance. Since this is a biological process within the symbiotic zooxanthella, the method to achieve this can be somewhat "complicated". Based on prior successes with their balling formulation and Zeo additives we're pretty excited to get our hands on these new formulas, and based on how well some of their products sell in the US, it might be sooner than later. We'll have more details on how this new method works once we hear more.… More:

Tunze is claiming a significant improvement on energy consumption but we have yet to see whether that is on legacy pump technologies or compared to something newer like Ecotech's Ecosmart system.

TECO's E-Chill Solution for Aquarium Cooling
TECO is not a name we hear a lot in the US but they're making a name for themselves with some energy efficient chillers as well as their new line of dedicated fan cooling solutions. The E-Chill line of fans comes in three sizes, 1-3 fans, and even allows you to attach low level water monitors to shut down in the case of high evaporation levels. Much more efficient than regular chillers for small tanks, fans can easily bring the temperature of a tank down 10 degrees or more simply by "blowing off/out" the excess heat dumped into the tank via powerheards, returns and lighting. You can situate these fans on top of the aquarium or in your sump, and they are easily attached to the edge of the tank with a hanging lip. The lip contains the temperature probe and can also hold the water level sensor, allowing you to shut off the fans if the water level drops too low. The E-Chill line can be controlled remotely and has three different speed settings. They are currently available for pre-order via TECO US's website.… More:

Arinc Engineering Services has won a $63.7 million contract to modernise five Indonesian air force Lockheed Martin C-130B transports.
"The programme includes structural and electronic modifications to retrofit 30-year-old C-130B airframes with more recent capabilities and technology," says Arinc, which won the deal in December after a competitive bidding process.
The work, to be undertaken by Arinc and Indonesian subcontractors, will begin in the first quarter of 2011 and is likely take 32-36 months to complete.
The deal is a major step for Indonesia's Cold War-era C-130 fleet. The aircraft suffered severe spare parts shortages during a 13-year arms embargo the USA imposed in 1992 because of human rights abuses in the country's East Timor province, which has since gained independence.
"Arinc is delighted to start this vital work very soon, to help the Indonesian government modernise its C-130B fleet for humanitarian purposes," says Michael Young, the company's vice-president aerospace systems engineering and support. "We look forward to playing a key role in enhancing the airlift capabilities of the Indonesian air force, and in helping them meet their overall operational and mission goals."
The deal follows a US Air Force-led foreign military sales contract that Arinc received in July 2010 to perform maintenance and modifications on one Indonesian C-130H. The work is taking place at Arinc's aircraft modification facility in Oklahoma City.
Flightglobal's MiliCAS database says the Indonesian air force has an active Hercules fleet of 13 C-130B/Hs, two KC-130B tankers and four commercial variant L-100s.
Indonesia may decide on a mid-life upgrade for its 10 Lockheed Martin F-16A/Bs in 2011 or 2012, but could also buy a new batch of six Block 50/52 fighters, an industry source said last November.
If the upgrade takes place, it would extend the service life of the air force's current F-16s from 4,000 to 8,000 flight hours each, and make them as capable as new-build models, according to the source. An upgrade to all 10 aircraft is likely to cost about $150 million.

Guide to the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of conditions from A to Z.
The skin, the largest organ of the body, helps define a person's look. Any unsightly skin appearance, such as scarring, can affect both mental and physical well-being. In addition, because the skin is on the outside of the body, it is more susceptible to growths, discolorations, and disease.
Many different dermatological procedures are designed to improve the condition or appearance of the skin. Listed in the directory below are some, for which we have provided a brief overview.

MARC stations out of danger
County to offer incentives for new riders
Wednesday, Nov. 29, 2006
It appears the state has dropped its plans to eliminate two MARC train stations in northern Montgomery County that were threatened with closure early this year, before public outcry and emergency legislation forced a reprieve.
And county officials are working on incentives to entice more upcounty commuters to ride MARC trains.
In January, the Maryland Department of Transportation moved to close four MARC stations in the state, including the Boyds and Dickerson stations on the Brunswick Line.
But in a letter to state Sen. Robert J. Garagiola (D-Dist. 15) of Germantown, Transportation Secretary Robert L. Flanagan made it clear there are no pending plans to re-target the stations for closure.
''I'm fairly confident that the MARC stations are going to remain open," Garagiola said.
Garagiola wrote Flanagan asking about the status of a report required under emergency legislation passed in March that mandated the threatened MARC stations remain open while their closure was studied.
Flanagan responded that the Maryland Transit Administration had not started the studies because there were no plans for closure.
''Currently, MTA is not planning to close any station on any of the railroad lines specified in the law, therefore the required studies have not yet been undertaken," he wrote in his Nov. 17 response.
Garagiola sponsored the emergency legislation, which passed the General Assembly 135-1 and became law March 28. It directs the state Department of Transportation to answer a series of questions on the impact of the planned closings on commuters and other modes of transportation before eliminating the stations, including two on the Camden Line out of Baltimore, which have the lowest ridership in the MARC system.
The law set a Dec. 31 deadline for a report to be delivered to the General Assembly.
Since the law passed, county officials have created a brochure about MARC that will be mailed to residents in the Barnesville, Boyds and Dickerson areas, said Gary R. Erenrich, special assistant to the director for Washington Metro Area Transit Authority, in the county's Department of Public Works and Transportation.
''One of the key features of the brochure is to give new MARC riders incentive," Erenrich said Tuesday. The brochures include instructions on how to receive a free one-week pass to ride the MARC train, he said.
The county is still researching ways to increase parking and bus services to the upcounty's MARC stations, Erenrich said.

By Donna MilesAmerican Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, Feb. 2, 2006 As current recruiting successes continue, the Army will ensure the reserve-component force gets the full funding it requires, Army leaders told Pentagon reporters today.
"To be clear, we have no intention of cutting the number of Guard or Reserve brigades, reducing the number of Guard or Reserve soldiers or cutting the level of Guard or Reserve funding," Gen. Peter J. Schoomaker, Army chief of staff, said.
Rather, Schoomaker said, the Army is intent on building reserve-component units that, like their active-duty counterparts, are fully manned, trained, equipped and led for the missions they'll face in the 21st century.
Widespread media reporting that the president and Defense Department are planning to cut the National Guard and its budget are flat-out wrong, Schoomaker said.
These reports stem from a Jan. 18 news conference in which Army Secretary Francis J. Harvey described plans in the soon-to-be-released Quadrennial Defense Review to transform the Army National Guard.
Initial plans had called for increasing the number of brigade combat teams in the Guard from 15 to 34, Harvey told reporters. But while the National Guard will continue to maintain 106 brigades, as planned, the breakdown will now be 28, not 34, brigade combat teams and 78 support brigades.
The change is designed to make the Guard better able to carry out not just its overseas operational missions, but also its critical homeland defense missions, Harvey explained.
The combat support units to be added to the Guard include military police, engineer, chemical, air defense and civil affairs units, all important to homeland defense missions.
"Contrary to what some have heard, we are not cutting the number of brigades," Schoomaker reiterated today. The Guard will remain at 106 brigades, 28 brigade combat teams and 78 support brigades of varying types, he said. The Army Reserve will retain 58 supporting brigades.
"The only thing that will change is the mix of these components and the mix of units," Schoomaker said.
Army Lt. Gen. James R. Helmly, chief of the Army Reserve, agreed that the restructuring plan will help make the Army more ready and responsive to the threats it will face through the century. He emphasized that "bigger is not better," and that capability will be the critical factor that enables the Army to keep its edge.
To ensure proper funding of this rebalanced force, the Army will fund the National Guard and Reserve to their actual strength but will increase this funding as required as the force grows to its full congressionally mandated strength, Schoomaker explained.
The Army National Guard has 333,000 members on the rolls, but is authorized by law to reach 350,000 soldiers, Schoomaker said. The Army Reserve has 188,000 members but can recruit up to 205,000 soldiers.
"Although our budget has programmed funding for soldiers in uniform, we have committed to funding the Guard and Reserve to the level to which they can recruit up to their congressionally mandated end strengths," Schoomaker said. "From a management perspective, this only makes sense," he said.
Army Lt. Gen. Clyde A. Vaughn, director of the Army National Guard, expressed little doubt that the Guard can reach its strength goals. "I can tell you, we're setting all kinds of records right now," he said of the Guard's recruiting effort.
A properly balanced, properly funded reserve-component force will ensure that the Army is prepared to face the challenges ahead, both overseas and at home, Schoomaker said.
It will also ensure continued modernization of the force, he said. The National Guard alone has budgeted $21 billion for equipment modernization from 2001 to 2005 - a fourfold increase from the 1999 period, he said.
Schoomaker praised the role the reserve components are playing in the war on terror and emphasized that the Guard and Reserve will continue to play a critical role in national defense. "The Army Reserve and National Guard are no longer a strategic reserve with months to prepare its people and equipment for deployment," he said. Today, he said, they must be ready to react quickly for wartime deployments and immediately to domestic missions.

The podcast you've all been waiting for is now available for download! Ava and Derevka had a blast recording this show— albeit a bit racy (Fingers of Frost!!!), we had some great conversation and some great topics were discussed. Thanks for the questions! Hopefully more discussion and podcasting will be in the future. You can download the podcast via iTunes or through the many options by following the link below.
Wohoo *\o/* (<- cheering with pompons!)
Woot, I will be sure to download it from iTunes when I get home
Thanks guys – definitely made my work day go by faster!
Don't forget to leave a review on iTunes for http://www.raidwarning.net or email reviews direct from their site! We had a lot of fun doing it… just wish it could have been longer — maybe do another one soon!
Thanks for this! It was a pleasure to listen to- I enjoyed hearing the short gemming dialogue in the disc section of the poscast.
Ava's sultry tones are always welcome in my speakers. Between that and the whale music I sleep like a baby. The combination of the two makes for some weird (albeit erotic) dreams though.

We had dinner and lunch at Scottadito in the past couple of weeks. Both were terrific. It's a cozy, warm restaurant with really tasty food. Lunch is the deal of the century, $15.00 for 2 course? GO!
Posted by KND on 12/02/2012
First the snooty hostess was miffed that we didn't have a reservation for the empty restaurant. The unlimited mimosas were watered down. The food was just ok absolutely nothing special. We had about five waiters none of them knew much. The best part is that it took 20 minutes to run three credit cards and they double charged my friend. Total bust will never return.
Posted by Mitch K on 06/22/2011
Went to Scottadito on Father's Day. The appetizers were good, I have to admit. However, an hour later, no food had arrived. The waitress explained they were very busy, but there were five empty tables and two families seated after us had both received their food. Obviously, not true. Two of the four dishes then came out. When asked where the other two were, the waitress said, again, they were very busy. Too busy to complete the rest of the table? Fairly stupid excuse. Staff kept coming over and apologizing, but were not capable of making the two remaining pasta dishes. My chicken parmigiana was flavorless, just like a previous reviewer said. Hard to imagine, but absolutely true. To top it off, there was a bone the size of a finger in the chicken cutlet. I pointed it out to the waitress, who went back to the kitchen, returned, and told me it was supposed to be there. Chicken parm on the bone? Really? The manager said they were embarrassed by the ridiculous wait and said they wanted us to return and would take care of a portion of the bill. They subtracted two sodas off, nothing else. Even if the service miraculously improved, the kitchen is obviously in disarray if a half empty restaurant is too much for them and they cannot make a halfway decent chicken parmigiana. What a shame that such a nice looking restaurant in a prime location is so incompetent.

We are long time slopers who have just returned to the neighborhood, my husband recalls going a few years back but I was never there. I am really glad a place like this is available here because the value was just right when you don't want to leave the hood to go 'out'. There seems to be mixed reviews here but I tried everyone's entrees and with the exception of the eggplant parm which my husband liked but I felt a bit dry- I thought the pastas were prepared really well and had lots of flavor (orrechiete with sausage and broccoli rabe had a kick to it and an organic whole wheat rotini with zucchini, eggplant, plum tom. sauce and, ricotta salata was tasty). My grilled tuna was ok - definitely fresh but the best dish of the night was fresh burrata salad - with perfect burrata, baby beets and artichokes- an excellent value given I'd had a simpler caprese version in Manhattan the night before with ok tomatoes only and not even balsamic for 1/4 the price more. Cant speak for desserts except for the perfect homemade gelato which was brought out complimentary because they had run out of another dessert we ordered. Service was very good- unobtrusive and knowledgeable about their dishes and descriptions which is a real plus these days. Wine service was done well with a good value wine we loved from a previous restaurant (again, cheaper by more than 10%). Room noise in the back was louder than I'd have liked it to be because a table for 8 was sitting on the other side and the high ceilings amplify the din, but then again, we asked for the back. Do not hesitate to try this place.- you won't regret it I have no idea who the last 2 raters were but how the heck do you have 'tasteless egg and parmigiana cheese?"
Posted by Giulia Lake on 05/18/2011
I really wanted it to be good. The atmosphere is very nice and it would be reassuring to have a nice Italian restaurant close to my house. I tried 3 times and it was mediocre. The 3rd time I ordered bucatini alla carbonara and they were totally tasteless. The guanciale was tasteless, the egg were tasteless, even the parmesan cheese on top had very little flavor. That's it. No more Scottadito for me.
Posted by annoymous on 05/11/2011
Upon our arrival at 4:55 pm on Mother's Day we were told that the kitcken was closed until 5 pm. We were not seated but another waiter took other diners while we were standing to see if we would be seated. Service was extremely slow and the waiter was fresh calling me"sweetie". They need to train their staff on how to treat their diners. Also the food was disappointing and tasted like it was frozen food put in the microwave and then added mozarella cheese to it. In the future I will go to Sheepshead Bay where they know how to treat diners and their food is excellent prepared and cooked. Will not recommend this restaurant to anyone. What a let down on Mother's Day.
Posted by Essemm on 07/18/2010
Had a great dinner here last night. Delicious cauliflower/carrot/ginger soup, a salad of goat cheese, walnuts and greens, pasta with three kinds of mushrooms (the only dish just short of perfect) and a delicious apple tart with gelato. The service was atttentive without being intrusive. We were offered liqueurs on the house at the end of our meal. Everyone enjoyed their food. The restaurant has a relaxed feel to it and unlike so many places, it wasn't too noisy! Will definitely come back for more.
