Taking Imagination Seriously
Janet Echelman Visits SMOA
Janet Echelman reshapes urban airspace with monumental, fluidly moving sculptural forms constructed with highly sophisticated materials from woven fibers to atomized mist. Her contemplative floating netted sculptures are forever changing and make visible the slightest stirring of the atmosphere. We find ourselves engaged in an introspective experience, receptive to the emotional and visual impact of these magnificent blossoms. We watch with awe the sensuous beauty captured in delicate, intricately designed webs. Quiet thoughts subtly appear in our consciousness, generating ideas that alter our preconceived expectations of modern sculpture. Mesmerized by the sculpture's motion, as it merges and expands, the appearance of the surrounding landscape is transformed. Space drifts away from its every day dimensions and time is tempted out of existence like a light beam.
In the same way that people around the globe, who visit or live in the places where Janet's works are present, we are influenced and changed by the powerful impact of these mystical and miraculous transient shapes.
We accompany Janet on a fantasy flight, traversing the swell of the seas as storms rage, witness the turbulent stirring as the winds churn, sense the gentle tugging of the silent breeze, feel the caress of the passing fog or study the sharp stillness of the sun's patterned shadows cast upon the ground.
Janet's artistic journey is a narrative in which fate and her responsive imagination joined forces to determine her destiny. As a recipient of a Fulbright Scholarship, she took up residency in India, with the promise to give painting exhibitions around the country. However, her painting supplies did not arrive. Fortunately, the town in which she was staying was famous for sculpture; so she decided to learn to work in bronze, with the guidance of local casters.
She found the material too heavy and expensive for her Fulbright budget. While watching the local fisherman bundling their nets, she wondered if nets could be a new approach to sculpture, a method to create volumetric form without heavy, solid material. By the end of her Fulbright year, she had created a series of netted sculptures in collaboration with the fisherman. Hoisting them onto poles, she discovered that their delicate surfaces responded to every ripple of wind.
Janet soon recognized that the small scale of her netted sculpture could neither be large enough nor permanent enough for her to realize the full potential of this newly invented medium. She needed fiber which could survive the natural elements yet retain the ephemeral and delicate characteristics of the nets. Seeking information and assistance from many people with wide ranging expertise, she developed the ability to translate the ancient craft of net making into industrially engineered, durable, sustainable and permanent sculptural installations.
She continues to collaborate with highly skilled professionals including aeronautical and mechanical engineers, architects, lighting designers, landscape architects, and fabricators. Ideas are discussed, enhanced and then executed. Everyone is put to the test of pure invention and ingenuity.
Janet Echelman received her undergraduate degree from Harvard University, with Highest Honors in Visual & Environmental Studies and her MFA in Visual Art, from the Milton Avery Graduate School of the Arts, Bard College, NY. She has been granted many awards including; Artist Fellowship from the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation, 2011, Creative Arts Fellowship; Resident in Visual Arts, American Academy in Rome, 2010; Henry Crown Fellowship, The Aspen Institute, 2006-09, 1st Artist in Leadership Award Program; Lily Auchincloss Fellow, New York Foundation for the Arts, 2006 Category: Architecture & Environmental Structures; and the National Institute of Design, 1996-97 Fulbright Award, to name a few.
Her public installations can be seen in countries around the world, some of which are; Australia, British Columbia, Canada, India, Portugal, Spain, the Netherlands, and major cities throughout the United States.
In The News...
from Sarasota Visual Art
Janet Echelman is an artist who works mainly with commissioned pieces. She approaches her work as a challenge or problem to be solved. She says that she will only accept an invitation to create work if she feels it can truly better herself, and the community that would interact with it. Her large outdoor sculptures "shape urban airspace, creating permanent, voluptuous, billowing forms, that are counterpoint to hard edged buildings in the urban environment."
Echelman's modest personality presents itself by way of her recollection of when a professor at Harvard had advised her not to pursue art. She claims that she was not what you would call a "talented artist." Although later, she proudly admits that her first solo show was at the age of 23 and curated by none other than Robert Rauschenberg, who also bought three of her early paintings for his private collection.
Instead of attending graduate school, Echelman spent some years traveling throughout Asia and India on a Fulbright scholarship, which is where she first began working with netting. She was set to have a large painting exhibition, but her paints never arrived. Attracted to the fishing nets she watched on her evening walks, she enlisted the local fishermen to build a net in her desired shape. "In the worst moment of horrible pressure and anxiety, comes the moment of discovery", she says. These early sculptures are of a more modest size than those adorning airports and cityscapes today. She also says that as she held them up with poles on the beach, "the wind (began) to interact with them and created a mesmerizing movement which I didn't expect", which consequently led her to installing them in the air.
In 2010, Echelman was commissioned by the Biennial of the Americas to build a sculpture that could celebrate the "interconnectedness" of the 35 nations included in the Western Hemisphere. After seeing a video of the tsunami that occurred as a result of the earthquake in Chile, she realized that the "ripple" of the ocean connected not only the Western Hemisphere, but also the entire globe. The artist, along with a team of professionals, acquired data from both NASA and NOAA, built a 3D model of the tsunami and eventually translated the information into a unique "areal laceinstallation" that is currently traveling the world. The title "Tsunami 1.26" refers to the milliseconds lost in the rotation of the earth from the earthquake. Echelman also uses a fiber called Spectra, which is actually a type of plastic that can act like a fiber so it retains the soft and fluid movement that attracts the artist, but is also stronger than steel and is resistant to moisture, salt and pollution. Apparently, these installations can survive both a blizzard and a hurricane.
Janet Echelman is an internationally recognized Harvard graduate, a 2010-2011 recipient of the Guggenheim Fellowship in the Fine Arts, and recently gave a TED talk about her work. Echelman was invited to Sarasota to speak as part of a series of artist lectures at the future home of the Sarasota Museum of Art.

Thursday's Brevard County Commission meeting ended abruptly, with Commissioner Trudie Infantini cut off in midsentence, then threatening to file an ethics complaint against Chairman Andy Anderson after he gaveled the meeting to a close, Local 6 news partner Florida Today reported.
The last item on Thursday night's agenda was a proposal to modify the scope of work on a project to build a walking and running trail in an area starting at the Brevard Zoo in Viera, using money previously approved in 2001 and 2006 county parks referendums.
Infantini said, while she supports the trail project, she also wanted to discuss allocating parks budget money to provide shade covering for county park playground areas, so children can use playground equipment that is not baking in the sun. She said she noticed the problem recently when she took her grandchild to two county parks.
Commission Vice Chair Mary Bolin Lewis —whose district includes the trail area under discussion — insisted that Infantini was not sticking to the topic.
"I move the item, please," Bolin Lewis said.
"You can't. I have the floor right now," Infantini said.
When Infantini tried continued her discussion, and Bolin Lewis sought to cut her off, Infantini asked Anderson to "maintain order at this meeting."
Anderson would not let Infantini continue her comments, and called for a vote. The zoo trail project was approved, 4-1, and Anderson ended the meeting.
"You actually had no way to do that," Infantini told Anderson. "Oh, I am so filing an ethics charge on you."
Anderson: "There's no charges for this."
Infantini: Yes, there is. You are not allowed to do that, chair."
Anderson: "OK, well, you file charges."
Infantini: "I will. No problem."
Anderson said after the meeting what he did was appropriate, based on his interpretation of how the County Commission meetings are supposed to be run. He said if Infantini wanted money in the county budget for playground shade coverings, she should have brought it up as part of the county budget discussions that ended in September, or made it a separate agenda item.
"She was going off-topic," Anderson said. "I don't understand where she was going."

BALTIMORE, Maryland (WUSA)--September 16, 2006 is Carol and Robert Roddy's September 11th. This is the day their youngest son, David, was killed in Iraq.
Petty Officer 2nd Class David Roddy had one of the most dangerous jobs there was--explosive ordinance disposal. He took apart the bombs meant to kill his fellow soldiers.
"They said what David was doing saved probably 20,000 lives," says David's father, Robert--himself a Vietnam vet.
David was killed trying to disable an IED in the Al Anbar province.
Now to honor their son, Carol and Robert make it their mission to take care of every soldier, sailor or airman who travels through Thurgood Marshall BWI Airport enroute to harm's way. They volunteer at the USO International Gateway Lounge.
"Some of them resemble him," says Carol.
Carol is in perpetual motion at the lounge. "Ice cream. Anyone want ice cream? How about Girl Scout cookies?"
"I hope that they would feel the warmth that I am trying to give them," says Carol. "I feel like I'm taking their mother's place."
"I just really enjoy interacting with them. Because a lot of these kids this is the first time they're away from home and they just don't have a clue," says Robert. "So what we try to do is guide them the best we can."
MORE:Donate to USO Turkeys For Troops Holiday Basket Program
Robert and Carol admit it was hard at first volunteering in the lounge. A face, sometimes a voice, reminded them of David. But now these men and women are their kids. And the Roddys hope you will see it in your heart to support our troops and their families this holiday season by donating to Turkey for Troops.
"They are giving up their families for 9 months to a year to go defend us so the least that we can do is show them the support," whispers Robert. "That we are behind them 100-percent. And anything that anyone can do for a military member or their family, do that."
Here's something else you need to know about David Roddy. He was given the opportunity twice by the military to come home--back to his parents, his wife and his young daughter. Once when he was seriously injured in an accident. The second time when his partner out on the battlefield was killed by an IED and David was the one who put the pieces in the body bags. David refused. He had a job he wanted to finish says his father.
So for David, please consider donating to Turkey for Troops so our military families can have a nice holiday meal.

CLAYTON It has been a long time coming, but the former Frink America site finally has been sold.
After years of cleanup to get the former brownfield site sanctioned for redevelopment by the state, and subsequent years spent finding the right developer to build an upscale hotel, Clayton signed a $2.1 million land disposition agreement with the Buffalo-based Krog Corp. and Hart Hotels.
Claytons Local Development Corp. and the town government had co-owned the waterfront property since they acquired the 8.4-acre site of an abandoned snowplow factory from Jefferson County in 2005.
Krog, in partnership with Hart Hotels, plans to break ground on a $22.5 million hotel this spring and open it just before the 2014 tourist season.
Hart Hotels will operate the four-story Clayton Harbor Hotel once Krog completes the facility, which will include 105 rooms, a restaurant/lounge, a 275-seat ballroom, business and fitness centers and an indoor pool.
Krog is still working on its plan, recently adding a room to what had been a 104-room floor plan.
Additionally, the developers are planning an approximately $3.5 million project to build a dozen townhouses on the east side of the Frink site.
The residential portion will break ground sometime after the hotel does, but the developer hopes to wrap up both projects at the same time.
Krog has completed numerous mixed-use development projects in New York communities similar to Clayton, such as the $18.5 million Watkins Glen Harbor Hotel near Seneca Lake, built through a partnership with Hart Hotels.
Hart Hotels President and CEO David P. Hart described the Watkins Glen facility to Clayton planners as the biggest small hotel youve ever been in and said the Clayton Harbor Hotel will be a similar upscale facility.
The partners hope to gain a four-diamond rating from AAA for the roughly 62-foot-tall, 90,000-square-foot facility.
Mr. Hart acknowledged that there is a level of skepticism surrounding the project, that some people doubt the Clayton Harbor Hotel can overcome the regions seasonality, which has slowly driven many resorts along the St. Lawrence River into disrepair.
However, Mr. Hart said, his company can prove the skeptics wrong.
At other facilities run by Hart Hotels, he said, the company was able to generate demand in the off season by creating events and festivals.
The plan is to slowly but surely add reasons to come to the facility, come to Clayton in the times of the year when you wouldnt normally, he said. Well market and promote the hell out of the area, the destination, and all the things to do here. And hopefully, well create enough business out-of-season ... that well be able to have a facility that is open year-round.

Submission Google, Apple targets in cloud patent claims->
littlekorea writes: The online music services of Apple and Google are likely to be challenged by a Sydney-based company that has been granted three new patents around file hashing and deduplication. The patents are being managed by Kevin Bermeister, of Altnet/Kazaa fame, who believes that the technology behind P2P music services has been commercialised by the music industry without licence.

As lawmakers face overwhelming pressure from constituents to uphold the Second Amendment and beat back what even some Democrats have called the "extreme" Obama administration-led assault on gun rights, the White House and its allies are pushing hard to shore up dwindling support. Despite the firm backing of radical groups like the Brady Campaign as well as billionaire anti-freedom zealot and New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, however, lawmakers are largely still standing up against the vicious assault on citizens' rights.
Speaking weeks before the Senate is expected to vote on a range of bills infringing on the unalienable right of Americans to keep and bear arms, Obama relied almost exclusively on half-baked emotional appeals rather than facts to push his controversial agenda. Mentioning last year's Newtown massacre over a half-dozen times in his short speech — and continually harping on children murdered mostly in so-called "gun free zones" — the president sounded increasingly desperate as he begged lawmakers and the public to advance his unconstitutional assault on the Second Amendment.
"We all feel that it is our first impulse, as parents, to do everything we can to protect our children from harm; to make any sacrifice to keep them safe; to do what we have to do to give them a future where they can grow up and learn and explore, and become the amazing people they're destined to be," Obama said as his own children were under the protection of heavily armed Secret Service agents. "That's why, in January, Joe Biden, leading a task force, came up with, and I put forward, a series of common-sense proposals to reduce the epidemic of gun violence and keep our kids safe."
Of course, in keeping with his long track-record of distorting the truth, the president claimed that all of his radical proposals were "consistent with the Second Amendment." Instead of infringing on the rights of law-abiding gun owners, Obama claimed, his agenda would merely keep guns out of the hands of "dangerous" people — military veterans, for example, who may have suffered from PTSD after returning from the federal government's lawless wars abroad.

Description: Is it shark week?
Location: The Island
Anyone want to watch the road trip together. Lil' viewing party!
Hey Hecklers, anyone interested in supporting one of your neighboring pro baseball teams at the York Revolution's "Soccer Night" Friday, May 11, at 6:30 p.m.? Looking for passionate people (you) making noise. The group rate is $6 per ticket. My office number is 717-801-4497, so don't hesitate to give me a call! Thanks.

Anybody know of any viewing parties in Harrisburg for Saturday's Islanders vs. Orlando tilt?
Still can't believe we are headed to the Championship Game! Highlight for me was idiot USL Live Announcer leaving his microphone on during halftime and after game. Someone asked him what play of the game he wanted and he replied, "I don't give a sh*t, you pick it." That was the play of the game for me! GO ISLANDERS!
Hello Hecklers,
Im the President of Sons of the Susquehanna. I was thinking we should have some kind of gathering of our two supporter groups to get to know each other better. Maybe a soccer game or cook out something. Contact us on our Facebook Group http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100000498293879#!/home.php?sk=group_131115146929262

The parades, the titles, the trophies, the glory, and of course, the football. Bowls are the cherry on top of the college football season. Here's a look at the winners in the 2012-13 College Football Bowl season.

ORLEANS–The Lake Region softball team rallied in the first to tie the game, the bottom of the sixth, which eventually forced extra innings, the eighth to push the game to the ninth, but in the bottom of the ninth they could not come up with enough runs to force a tenth as they lost a well played game to the Peoples Academy Wolves on Prom Saturday.
"We kept coming back and coming back. Even though we lost, I think it bodes well for us," coach Matt Tinker said after the game.
The Lady Rangers battled all game long, and it started in the first.
NEWPORT/MIDDLEBURY–If you looked at all of the records of the spring teams from North Country, the one that stands out is that of the Falcons boys' tennis crew.
The boys have not lost a match in over a month, currently have a 6-1-1 record and are ranked in the top third of all Division I teams.
"The team likens itself to a junk yard dog," said coach Gary Atchinson. "We have no real big shotmakers. We work our points and I would say we are a real lunch pail, blue collar team."
Starting the weekend at 4-1-1, the boys won back-to-back matches on Friday and Saturday to improve their record.
NEWPORT–Two games in two days can be tough for any athlete, but for a softball pitcher that has to go out and throw back-to-back complete games, it is down right brutal.
That is what Kayla Descheneau had to do this past Thursday and Friday when she took the circle for the Falcons against Colchester and Mount Abe.
With freshman pitcher Taylor Blake unavailable due to a concussion, coach Leslie Dunn had limited options.
NEWPORT–Triple plays are rare.
I think Taurus at it's full height must triumph over Aries and then trump Gemini, or something to that fact, for it to occur.
Well whether or not the stars were aligned, North Country pulled one off in the sixth inning of their game against Mount Abe on Friday.
Since I was over at the softball game at the time, I will let Nate Stewart, the guy who was in the middle of the action, tell you how it went down.
ORLEANS–It is just a tough time to be a Ranger baseball player.
Lake Region lost their eighth game of the season on Saturday, 14-3 to People Academy, but coach Eric Degree saw some positives on the field from his club.
"My team's play has been a little better than it was earlier this week. They (PA) got a lot of breaks out there today and we did not get any. I got some guys who really starting to come around and we are playing improved defense."
In the second week of competition, the North Country girls' golf team competed in two tournaments. On Wednesday the 9th, Bailey Walker, Eilish Muir and Paige Gagnon travel to South Burlington to play at the Vermont National Country Club. The team placed 3rd overall. Captain Bailey Walker shot a 51 in the 9 hole tournament. Captain Eilish Muir shot a 65, and new comer Paige Gagnon, in her second career tournament carded a 71. On Thursday the 10th the threesome traveled to Enosburg. Bailey's 49, on the damp and muddy course was the low round, making her the medalist.
NEWPORT CENTER – Late Saturday, fire destroyed the home of Charles Roberts, father of 16-year-old Dustin Roberts who passed away in February after a long battle with cancer.
Firefighters were called to Number 12 Road just past 11 p.m. for a fully engulfed structure fire.
"When we got there, the house was fully involved," said Kurk Flynn, Newport Center Fire Chief. "We called for extensive mutual-aid from North Troy, Jay, Troy, Irasburg and Newport City."
Firefighters had the blaze under control in about three hours but remained on the scene until 6 a.m.
DERBY, VT - It's no secret that IROC (Indoor Recreation of Orleans County) has had a struggle to establish itself and survive, especially in an economy that has dried up much of its funding and drained its supporters.
Nevertheless, IROC has continued to offer much needed services to area communities. Few people want to see it go.
But that is just what might happen, as the organization faces foreclosure proceedings from Community National Bank and Rural Development.

Horrible, we know, but this one hit wonder was all the rage back in the '90s and for good reason.
The song is infectious, came with a patented easy-to-follow dance that almost everyone could do, and the video featured feisty girls giggling about hooking up:
When I dance they call me Macarena/And the boys they say que soy buena/they all want me/can't have me/so they all come and dance beside me

ITHACA The goal of an ECAC Hockey championship slipped away for both Clarkson and St. Lawrence Universitys womens teams Saturday at Cornell University as both squads suffered 4-2 semifinal losses.
Fifth-seeded SLU (19-14-5) fell behind 2-0 to top-seed Cornell, then rallied to tie the game 2-2 only to see the Big Red score two goals in the final 1 minute, 38 seconds of the game to gain a win.
Clarkson (28-9), the No. 2 seed, lost to No. 3 Harvard after defeating the Crimson twice during the regular season.
Harvard will meet the Big Red for the championship at 1 p.m. today. Cornell, Harvard and Clarkson will all advance to the eight-team NCAA tournament next weekend.
The Saints upset Cornell (26-5-1) in last years championship game in Ithaca and were hoping for a second straight title after rallying to tie the game late in the second period.
Cornell took advantage of a defensive breakdown in the first period to take at 1-0 lead at 17:37 on the first of three goals by Taylor Wood.
Just 29 seconds after the goal, SLUs Brooke Fernandez was called for checking and the Big Red scored on the ensuing power play on a shot from Woods at 19:08 to lead 2-0 after one.
The Saints began to control play in the second period, outshooting Cornell 12-6.
SLU cut the lead to one goal when Rylee Smith scored on a shot from deep in the circle at 14:43 of the second period. Smiths shot, which came from near the boards, sailed just under the crossbar.
The Saints tied the game shortly after killing a hooking penalty to Jacqueline Wand. Smith and Kelly Sabatine skated in on a two-on-zero breakaway against Big Red goalie Lauren Slebodnick.
Sabatine skated near the crease, then sent a pass over to Smith who scored at 18:09 to make it 2-2.
SLU had a chance to take the lead late in the third period with 30 seconds of a two-man advantage and defenseman Amanda Boulier got a few shots off on Slebodnick.
Sabatine had a shorthanded breakaway with 4:32 left but Cornells Laura Fortino got in her way enough to force a weak shot.
The Big Red scored the game-winner with just 98 seconds left on a redirected shot by Woods. Brianne Jenner added an empty-net goal with 39.1 seconds left.
That is the way I believe the game ought to be played, Saints coach Chris Wells said. Two teams giving everything they have, working hard on both ends of the ice.
During the regular season Clarkson had Harvards number, beating the Crimson twice by 3-1 scores.
But the game was different Saturday as Harvard (24-5-3) scored the first three goals and was never seriously threatened by the Golden Knights.
Mark Parker opened the scoring for the Crimson with a fluke goal at 2:06 of the first period.
Parker took a shot that hit Clarksons Carly Mercer in the shoulder and bounced over goalie Erica Howe and into the net.
The Crimson outshot Clarkson 10-4 in the second period and extended its lead to 2-0 with a power-play goal from Jillian Dempsey at 15:02.
Parker then sent a pass from behind the net to Miye DOench, who made it 3-0 Crimson at 3:11 of the third period.
Clarkson scored its first goal at 12:22 of the third on a shot from Jamie Lee Rattray, which was the first goal the Crimson allowed in the postseason.
Parker scored a shorthanded goal into an empty net at 17:20 to give Harvard a 4-1 advantage, and Vanessa Gagnon scored for Clarkson with 16 seconds left.

|Carbon and Lehi swimmers break the surface of the Desert Wave Pool during Wednesday's meet, which was hosted by the Dinos.
Carbon High swimmers and divers continue to climb the ranks of 3A water sports.
In last week's invitational meet, the Dino divers made a strong showing against region opponent Lehi in a home event at Desert Wave Pool.
Lead Carbon divers Michael Glasson and Lyn'D Anderson took first place in the boys and girls competition.
According to diving coach Stewart Foster, both athletes are challenging themselves with new, more difficult dives and are having great success.
Several of the competing divers also participated in the adjoining swim meet, which took place in the wave pool.
With a fifth place finish in the state tournament last season, Lehi is consistently a force in 3A swimming.
"They're always in contention, coach Phyllis Cox said. "They're an awesome team."
Carbon's boys were able to take a few top finishes away from Lehi, however, including first and third place in the 200 yard freestyle relay, second place in the 400 yard freestyle relay and second place in the 200 yard medley relay.
Individual top boys swimmers included:
Chris Eikenbary, 3rd 500 free, 3rd 200 IM; Dan Gibson, 2nd 100 free; Bradlee Leonard, 3rd 100 breaststroke, 3rd 100 fly; Derrik Leonard, 3rd 100 back, 4th 200 free; Chase Norton, 1st 100 free, 1st 200 free; Matt Petty, 4th 100 back; Cliff Sorensen, 4th 50 free; Kellen Spillman, 2nd 100 breaststroke, 3rd 50 free; Leo Yu, 2nd 200 free, 4th 100 breaststroke.
The Lady Dinos were shorthanded at the meet, due to illnesses. But, the team still managed a few high finishes in the meet.
In team events, Carbon took fourth place in the 200 yard freestyle relay.
Individual results were as follows:
Trisha Erickson, 3rd 200 IM, 4th 100 breaststroke; Erika Flower, 1st 500 free, 2nd 200 free; Audrey Oliver, 4th 50 free; Danielle Worley, 4th 200 free.

Friday, November 07, 2008The on the court connection between setter Jake Pease and middle blocker Alex Kelly began long before the two ever played for the Lipscomb Lady Bisons.
That connection has paid dividends for the sophomores in college. Saturday night in a 3-1 Atlantic Sun road win over USC Upstate in Spartanburg, S.C., Pease made 53 assists and Kelly led with a individual and team season high and a match high with 28 kills. She moves into second place overall in the conference for the individual match high in kills.
Her .500 hitting percentage was her fifth at that level or above this season.
"They have such a great connection on the court," said Lady Bisons coach Brandon Rosenthal. "After the first set Jake did a great job of redistributing the ball to the players with the hot hands and Alex was at the top. They are both so competitive. They just decided to get it done."
The Lady Bisons lost the first set 25-21 and then won set two 25-17, set three 25-21 and set four 25-17.
"We had a little bit of a let down in the first set," said Rosenthal. "We played all right in the first set. We came out after the first set and played a great match. That is a credit to our players."
Pease also made 13 digs, blocked two shots and added one service ace. Opposite Erin Pierce tied for the match-high with 15 digs. Libero Jessica Turner made `12 digs, extending her streak to 20 straight matches with double figures in digs. Rosenthal also had praise for defensive specialist Elly Kaiser and her work on the back row as the Lady Bisons held a 70-51 advantage in digs in the match.
"Jake, Erin, Jess and Elly all were great on defense," said Rosenthal. "Whenever Jake is in double figures in digs and Erin is in double figures we usually do well.
"It all starts with defense. Sometimes that's a hard concept to get across."
Sandra Campbell led USC Upstate with 14 kills. Holly Mauldin tied for the match-high in digs with 15. Megan Healey added 12 digs.
The Lady Bisons stop in Johnson City Saturday afternoon at 1 to face ETSU.
"ETSU is always a tough match, especially when you play them on their home court," said Rosenthal.
The Lady Bisons are 17-10 overall, 14-3 in the A-Sun. USC Upstate slipped to 7-19 overall, 3-14 in the conference.

FORT DRUM The headquarters of 10th Mountain Division has provided the Army its recommendations for how it could slash a quarter of its budget and manpower.
With the proposal in the hands of the Army, questions remain on what kind of action will happen next and when a decision will be made.
The post formally submitted its recommendations before the Armys deadline Wednesday.
On Thursday, Lt. Col. Tage J. Rainsford, the division public affairs officer, said the post would not release its recommendations until they were reviewed by Army Secretary John M. McHugh and Army Chief of Staff Gen. Raymond Odierno, who ordered the recommendations, and a final decision was returned.
It was not revealed how many people or how much money would have to be cut to meet the Armys goal. However, Col. Rainsford said, the headquarters has an authorized end strength of about 500 soldiers, meaning as many as 125 soldiers could be facing cuts.
The recommendations on how to make cuts were in response to an Aug. 14 memo from Mr. McHugh and Gen. Odierno to headquarters elements at the two-star level and above, such as the local division.
Let there be no mistake, aggregate reductions WILL TAKE PLACE, the memo reads. The money is gone; our mission now is to determine how best to allocate these cuts while maintaining readiness. We expect Army leaders, military and civilian, to seize this opportunity to re-shape our Army. This effort will take PRIORITY OVER ALL other Headquarters, Department of the Army activities.
The budget and staffing reduction planning stems from the approximately $50 billion in cuts that the Army must figure out for the 2014 fiscal year, which starts Oct. 1, in connection with the long-term federal budget cuts known as sequestration.
George B. Wright, an Army spokesman at the Pentagon, said Thursday that he did not know the timetable that would be used for the implementation of the recommendations. He said that in the past, staff and budget cuts have been done over the course of multiple years so as to avoid a shock that could disrupt operations.
It also was unclear how civilian workers would be affected by the division headquarters planning.
Jeffrey W. Zuhlke, president of American Federation of Government Employees Local 400, said Friday that he had not heard whether the headquarters cuts would affect the limited number of its attached civilian employees, which he said was fewer than 10 people.
Following a letter from Reps. Bill Young and Pete Visclosky, both of the House Appropriations Defense Subcommittee, to Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel, the American Federation of Government Employees sent a letter to Mr. McHugh on Thursday.
The unions letter called on the Pentagon to scrap the across-the-board cuts, and instead make reductions of individual contracts and services. The union also asked for the military to balance the cuts between contractors and government employees.
The initial DOD memo can be seen at http://wdt.me/zdHXBK.
The AFGE letter can be found at http://wdt.me/okqdrT.

|K-9 cop nabs heroin in Avery County
|Written by Lauren Ohnesorge
|Friday, 18 May 2007 05:53
Thanks to drug dog Miki, a Boone man was caught with heroin in Avery County.The K-9 alerted Deputy Shawn Turbyfill to the vehicle, giving him enough cause to perform a search. Heroin is a rarity for narcotics detective Eddie Hughes. According to Hughes, heroin busts do not happen often in Avery County. 26-year-old Steven Brett Airey was the sole occupant of a vehicle in which the drug was found, according to Hughes.
Several needles with what is believed to be heroin were found in his possession, Hughes said.An SBI lab will have to confirm how much heroin was in the syringes. Drug paraphernalia was also found in the vehicle, including a container for the needles. Hughes believes the suspect to be a user, not a dealer. Marijuana was also found at the scene. More arrests and charges may be pending, according to Hughes. In the meantime, Airey was charged with felony possession of heroin, misdemeanor possession of marijuana, and possession of drug paraphernalia. He was held under a $10,000 secured bond.

A Death in Belmont (P.S.)by Sebastian Junger
Staff Pick
An absorbing crime story about the Boston stranglings, Junger's exceptional narrative re-examines the killings of the early '60s, with a focus on one murder not associated with Albert DeSalvo, the convicted serial killer. A disturbing story on many levels, Junger's account reflects on race and justice in America, and equals the storytelling of his previous book, The Perfect Storm.
"The result is a book full of unanswered questions — a book that is at once less satisfying and yet even more intriguing and unsettling than The Perfect Storm....Junger adeptly pulls together the various elements of this complex narrative, setting accounts of the Goldberg murder trial and Roy Smith's history against the backdrop of the Strangler hysteria that gripped the public for the better part of two years." Gary Krist, The Washington Post Book World (read the entire Washington Post Book World review)
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
In 1963, with the city of Boston already terrified by a series of savage crimes known as the Boston Stranglings, a murder occurred in Belmont, just a few blocks from the house of Sebastian Junger's family — a murder that seemed to fit exactly the pattern of the Strangler. Roy Smith, a black man who had cleaned the victim's house that day, was convicted, but the terror of the Strangler continued.
Two years later, Albert DeSalvo, a handyman who had been working at the Jungers' home on the day of the Belmont murder, and had often spent time there alone with Sebastian and his mother, confessed in lurid detail to being the Boston Strangler.
By turns exciting and subtle, A Death in Belmont chronicles three lives that collide — and are ultimately destroyed — in the vortex of one of the most controversial serial murder cases in America. The power of the story and the brilliance of Junger's reporting place this book on the short shelf of classics beside In Cold Blood and Helter Skelter.
"Bessie Goldberg was strangled to death in her home in Belmont, a Boston suburb, in March of 1963 — right in the middle of the Boston Strangler's killing spree. Her death has not usually been associated with the other Strangler killings because Roy Smith, a black man who was working in Goldberg's house that day, was convicted of her murder on strong circumstantial evidence. But another man was working in Belmont that day: Albert DeSalvo, who later confessed to being the Boston Strangler, was doing construction work in the home of Junger's parents (the author himself was a baby). Could DeSalvo have slipped away and killed Bessie Goldberg? Junger's taut narrative makes dizzying hairpin turns as he considers all the evidence for, and against, Smith or DeSalvo being Goldberg's killer; he also reviews the more familiar case for and against DeSalvo being the Strangler — for there are serious questions about his confession. As Junger showed in his bestselling The Perfect Storm, he's a hell of a storyteller, and here he intertwines underlying moral quandaries — was racism a factor in Smith's conviction? How to judge when the truth in this case is probably unknowable? — with the tales of two men: Smith, a ne'er-do-well from a racist South who rehabilitated himself before dying in prison; DeSalvo, a sexual predator raised by a violent father who was stabbed to death in prison. This perplexing story gains an extra degree of creepiness from Junger's personal connection to it." Publishers Weekly (Starred Review) (Copyright Reed Business Information, Inc.)
"An intriguing crime story that also contains painful truths about race and justice in America." Booklist
"[Junger's] ripping, highly readable drama of crime and punishment highlights the random chance that often separates victim from survivor....A meticulously researched evocation of a time of terror, wrapped around a chilling, personal footnote." Kirkus Reviews
"As usual, Junger has written a well-documented page-turner that leaves us wanting more....Highly recommended." Library Journal
"[R]iveting....A Death in Belmont, though nonfiction, reads like a novel. Its narrative line is crisp....[A] worthy sequel to The Perfect Storm." Alan M. Dershowitz, The New York Times Book Review
"[A]s A Death in Belmont shows, [Junger is] a hell of a storyteller....In the end, you can't help feeling that A Death in Belmont might have made a better magazine article than a 266-page book. (Grade: B+)" Entertainment Weekly
"Sebastian Junger knows a good story when he comes across one. Fortunately for his readers, he also know how to flesh out such stories and then tell them in a beguiling and silky prose style." Denver Post
"The publisher boldly compares A Death in Belmont to In Cold Blood, but it is too flatly written to approach Truman Capote's masterpiece. Junger can quickly slide into the prosaic, though here his sentences serve his topic well enough." Cleveland Plain Dealer
"A Death in Belmont investigates the puzzling, lurid drama of the Boston Strangler....In a book as good as this one, conjecture rings with the force of conviction." Dallas-Ft. Worth Star Telegram
"Junger's failure to couch his material in a consistently compelling narrative is the problem. And for all their fleshing out, his tragic characters remain curiously flat as well." Chicago Sun-Times
"4 stars....Sebastian Junger's first brush with horror came early....Wondering if DeSalvo may have killed his neighbor, Junger exhumes the evidence in both cases. He recounts the crimes and trials and interviews witnesses, including his parents. As he goes deeper, the story becomes that much more awful, a commentary on racial assumptions and the illusion of suburban safety." William Georgiades, New York Post
"In DeSalvo's dark world, Junger's clear, beautifully reasonable writing is the literary equivalent of night-vision goggles....He's navigating a maze of shadows, and you can see all the more clearly what an enormously skillful prose artist he is." Lev Grossman, Time
In the spring of 1963, the quiet suburb of Belmont, Massachusetts, is rocked by a shocking murder that fits the pattern of the infamous Boston Strangler, still at large. Hoping for a break in the case, the police arrest Roy Smith, a black ex-con whom the victim hired to clean her house. Smith is hastily convicted of the murder, but the Strangler's terror continues. And through it all, one man escapes the scrutiny of the police: a carpenter working at the time at the Belmont home of young Sebastian Junger and his parents—a man named Albert
From the acclaimed author of A Perfect Storm comes a powerful chronicle of three lives that collide in the vortex of one of America's most controversial serial murder cases.

I thought they are buying Novell. ???
Oracle may launch own Linux version
Yeah, I don't know about that. I agree with one of the commenters who says Oracle has bigger fish to fry, and I would eat my shoes if they were able to buy Redhat. Let them have Novell.
I thought they are buying Novell. ???
I was just ranting, in case they have RH in their crosshairs. You're correct, the article mentions Novell as a potential buy.
Well, ya never knows ...
With Larry's ego and his money, he can do it if he really wanted to ....
that makes me nervous....does Oracle have a track record when it comes to software development outside of the dB? Is this more about the development of the Linux OS or an opportunity to take jabs the the MS juggernaut ?
I was standing in the park wondering why Frisbees got bigger as they get closer. Then it hit me.
It would be a shame if they bought Novel and messed it up. Despite problems turning a profit, some great things have come from Novel recently. Xgl with compiz window manager is the latest, not to mention almost completely supporting the mono project, as well as churning out a bunch of cool free software. It's mainly the old Ximian guys who are making headlines with things like Tomboy, Evolution, Beagle, and F-Spot, but if Oracle buys Novel and screws it all up, that will be the end of their legacy.
I lost my self-respect at Wes' Rib House
I hope they don't buy Novell or Red Hat
perosnally after trying 10.0 I love it!! more then ubuntu
I don't know much about DBs but what makes oracle so good?
Nothing. I was just chatting with a former Oracle guy over here and he basically echoed what the general sentiment is about them. "They'll do everything, and nothing well"Originally Posted by mojo jojo
I'm no DBA, but from what I've gathered from being exposed to it, is that it is overly complex, difficult to setup and manage and horribly documented. A stand alone single instance database may be quite manageable, however, a multi-instance / multi-node cluster with a middle tier app is just plain garbage.
They'll fall flat on their face IMO, with a Linux distro. They don't have the right attitude for that.
I used to be a low level DBA for a while. Never really liked it, but it did give me exposure to databases. The thing about Oracle is that it scales really really well. When you start getting tables with 50+ million entries, other databases tend to start slowing down and crapping out. Oracle handles those kinds of situations just like it handles normal situations. It's an absolute necessity for any kind of enterprise data service. Every major corporation I know uses Oracle for production servers.
It pretty much has to be necessary. Outlaw heard right about the admin and install procedures. When you install MySQL, it's as simple as a double-click (or clicking "OK" in the case of a linux system with graphical package manager). Just installing the Oracle client is a half day ordeal if you've done it before. On my first install ever it took me a day and a half to figure out how to get it set up. It involved manually copying files from the downloaded client package to various locations on the system, modifying values in /etc, and creating a bunch of symlinks to get the system looking like what the installer expects. I've never set up the actual database, but I hear the effort involved is legendary.

Freshman Whitney Fieldsted drives through the Snow College defense for a shot during a game earlier this season.
After a long season in the tough Scenic West Athletic Conference, both the USU Eastern mens and womens basketball teams are hopeful for good results heading into the season finale at home this weekend.
For the USU Eastern women, the final home stand offers an opportunity to gather momentum heading into the SWAC tournament starting next week. After two tough weekend losses to Salt Lake Community College and Snow College, head coach Dave Paur said the team will look to get past the losses which have been mentally draining on the team.
The women lost to SLCC 57-53 despite having the lead in the final minute of the game and suffered a loss the following day against Snow 61-43 in which they had a lead with 12 minutes left in the second half.
The Eastern women (14-14 overall, 6-7 SWAC) still have a chance to get a higher seed in the conference tournament in Salt Lake City next week with wins against College of Southern Idaho and North Idaho College this weekend.
For the Eastern men, the final home stand represents the last chances for them to hit the hardwood in 2011-12.
The Eastern men defeated SLCC 91-85 and fell to Snow College 88-82 last weekend. The men used a strong second half to propel them to a win over SLCC, but against Snow the team succumbed to a hot shooting Badgers team that came back after a halftime deficit.
With NJCAA sanctions banning them from participating in postseason play, the Eastern men (16-11 overall, 4-9 SWAC) will look to shock CSI and NIC in their final two games of the 2011-12 season.

Tebow Replies to Public Request for Support
Sad and inspiring story about how Tim Tebow responded to pleas yesterday from Twitter to call a high school football player who was one of two survivors of a car accident (caused by a drunk driver of another vehicle) that took the life of two of the passengers in the vehicle.
We're devasted for the losses of those affected by this incident in the capital region. No matter what anyone thinks about Tebow's ability to start for the Jets, it's inspiring that he responded to the call for help and got in touch with the victim to give him whatever consolation and encouragement he could.
