Many Stanford student-athletes distinguished themselves in 2013–14. Some will pursue professional sports and other careers. Here are profiles of two graduating seniors who excelled in and out of the classroom and are destined to become role models and future leaders.
Hope Burke, Field Hockey
A two-time NorPac West All-Conference and All-Academic selection, Burke scored a team-high nine goals and shared season high-point honors with 22. She scored the winning goal in a 2-1 victory against Michigan. A native of Selinsgrove, Pennsylvania, Burke was a double-major in history and African-American studies, and received the Sheryl Johnson Academic Excellence Award and an NCAA Postgraduate Scholarship, the only Stanford student-athlete to earn the award.
"Both of my majors have really allowed me the space to pursue what I'm really interested in, which is history," she said. "I think it's been really uplifting and encouraging throughout my time as a student-athlete to have professors and people involved in the department behind me 110 percent.
"I wrote a thesis this year. My thesis advisor and I would talk on the phone after games when we were traveling and was always willing to email with me. Everyone was really supportive of how difficult it is to balance your time. Constantly being busy taught me a lot about respecting other people's time and respecting yourself for juggling 20 different things.
"Stanford is the biggest community I've ever had. I feel grounded and people genuinely care about what I'm doing. It's a very unique place. Not many of my friends in college are having the conversations that I'm having, talking about race, class, and privilege.
"Next year, I will be teaching middle school or high school English in Baltimore, Maryland, for Teach for America. It's going to be difficult working at an under-privileged school, but I think that's where we have the most opportunity to make growth. My mom has taught French and English for more than 10 years, and I used to sit with her while she graded papers. My stepmom is a social worker. To see how much of an impact they can have on students has really pushed me to do something with people.
"It's really amazing to see how far our field hockey program has come in four years. I think we've really redefined the culture of the program and what we value and what we pursue. It's not just something on the field; you're not just cultivating skills to beat someone, score a goal, or play collective defense. The biggest lessons I learned were how to be a good teammate, how to care about other people's dreams, and how to work through adversity.
"What I've had here the last four years is more than I could have possibly expected. It's an infinite moment that I will bottle up and never forget. If you are willing to be put in the effort and seek out professors and make friends outside of athletics, people are so willing to accept you and encourage you. The best thing I could have done at Stanford was to become involved in so many different things because that's where I really feel fulfilled."
Justine Fedronic, Cross Country/Track and Field
A five-time All-American, Fedronic set the school 800-meter indoor and outdoor records in 2012. Born in Germany, she spent her early childhood in France and moved to the United States at age six. Fedronic speaks four languages. She is majoring in earth systems and minoring in product design, focusing on physics and math in the latter. The oldest of four kids, she attended Carlmont High in Belmont, California, where she was a three-time CCS cross country champion. Fedronic recently turned professional and will compete this summer in Europe with the French National Team.
"I was really drawn to my major because of my family background," she said. "My grandpa has a small, sustainable farm near Martinique, which is very rare because of the plantation economy. My mom comes from a small town in Hungary where everyone still has their own chickens. I've been exposed to a lot of different ecosystems, even in California, so I've always had an appreciation for that.
"I've also lived in cities and my topic of research my senior year was biophilia, which is the idea that humans are innately dependent on nature exposure. The way our cities have developed, that isn't really a part of urban life anymore. That's led me to want to minor in product design, so I could get more experience in the design and construction field and apply the things that I learned in earth systems to design and change people's behavior so we can live more sustainably, but also improve our psychological and physiological well-being.
"I think of myself as a track athlete. I didn't run cross country until Coach Milt (Chris Miltenberg) came along my senior year. It was a huge year of transition. We somehow created this team that didn't exist before and finished third at the NCAA's, which was a huge surprise. I only ran two races, but I guess they were the right races. That was the first time I stood on a podium with my teammates. Once you get a taste of that, I think it motivates you a lot more in your training.
"This past indoor season was my last with the girls and the team. Our focus the whole time was the distance medley relay. We ran No. 3 all-time in NCAA history at Penn State, and I ran the fourth leg. We had so much confidence in each other. Our team came in second and it just showed how much we have grown.
"I want to leave a strong legacy, but more than my accomplishments time-wise, I want to be remembered as a good teammate that would motivate the team but also enjoy the process. Obviously you can't do that unless you prove yourself as a tough competitor. One thing I've learned in college is to get on the starting line with the right attitude, no matter what the circumstances are.
"My favorite place at Stanford is Hoover Tower. I visit about every two months just to look around and soak it all in.
"I can honestly say I'm proud of my journey. I've come a really long way, considering who I was as a freshman. I've been hurt a lot, but perseverance can go a long way, especially if you surround yourself with the right people. I've been really lucky. The community at Stanford has been so supportive. There were so many times when it didn't really make sense for me to keep running, but there were enough people who believed in me.
"My plan is keep running until the next Olympics. Then I'll go back to school and get my master's in industrial design. If there's one thing I've learned at Stanford, it's that if you're really passionate about something, you've got to throw yourself into it."

A window to the beautiful Monterey coast, Sand City is a green conscious and artistic community that lives, works and plays by the sea. Residents and tourists alike enjoy biking through town or spending the day shopping and visiting one of the local eateries, artists' studios or magnificent coastal amenities. Sand City also features the annual West End Celebration an exciting blend of art and industry in a newly transformed area of the City dubbed 'SoHo West'. The celebration features live music, dance and street performances as well as great food and of course the creative wares of local artists and artisansCity Ordinance UpdateTitle 18-Zoning OrdinanceOrdinance 16-01 Amending Sand City Municipal Code Title 18 (Zoning Ordinance) to Amend Chapters 18.68, 18.72, and 18.92 and Sections 18.62.111 and 18.74.010 to add Section 18.74.015, and Delete Section 18.62.180, to streamline and define the permit application requirements and procedures.
The City has a clear vision of its future as a progressive, sustainable community that encourages the kind of economic and mixed-use development that enables businesses to grow, while also maintaining a friendly, walkable community.
The long-term goal is to build on the City's existing qualities to create a vibrant community where people can live, work and play. Using streetscape designs, planting trees and installing comfort-oriented street furniture (benches, ornamental street lights and the undergrounding of utility lines), we hope to make downtown more pedestrian-friendly, attractive and accessible to visitors from all walks of life.

This review would have been done earlier, but my wife decided she needed to read the entire 50 Shades of Gray series on the iPad. Lord knows I wasn't about to interrupt THAT. For whoever knows what I'm talking about, virtual high five! For every other straight male reader, get your significant other a copy. You will thank me. (I accept PayPal.)
Blindside—ah yes. This game may have the most unique graphics of any game I have ever played. Here's a screenshot:
See it?
…Is it just a blank screen?
There is one little fact about the mechanics of this game that I should mention: There are no visuals whatsoever. So warm up your imagination—you're going to need it.
The game's genre would best be described as survival horror for blind people. It plays like Wolfenstein 3D with headphones on and the monitor off, with one added feature to make up for it. Sure, you can hear where the enemies are via their playful Nazi banter, and even have a general idea of where to shoot—but navigation would be difficult without someone telling you when you've hit a wall.
Well, Blindside is like the above, flawless analogy WITH a voice to guide you. But more on the voice later.
The player is trying to escape a hoard of monsters by navigating through several situations using only sound as a guide. On the iPad, the player navigates the alleged terrain by pressing the top part of the iPad, and rotating the iPad left or right (like a steering wheel) to turn. The sounds are extremely important, so make sure the left and right headphones are in the correct ears before you spend the first five minutes of the game frustrated and confused and feeling like you're possibly having a stroke. (I'm OK now.)
Starting in an apartment, the protagonist and his girl must make their way through several perilous obstacles, some of which include not banging your toe on apartment furniture, lighting a match, and crossing a street. The protagonist initially thinks the power is out (spoiler: he's actually blind). So he gets up and explains the layout of his entire apartment to the player. Then he decides to get some matches from the kitchen drawer. What the player is supposed to do is visualize the layout of the room, which is described exactly once, and use that knowledge to navigate. To aid the player, every time a wall or piece of furniture is hit, the protagonist offers one of several helpful directions, like "ouch, that's my coffee table," or "aw man that hurt, you hit the coffee table again," or "dammit, Frank! You keep hitting the same fucking coffee table!" You get the picture.
The voice of the protagonist in Blindside is key. Without his direction, you the player would be completely lost, and the game's idea simply wouldn't work. …Too bad it's annoying as all hell. It's not that the voice acting is done poorly, especially for an indie game. It's just that the player has to hear him so often that he starts to get irritating after a while. (And by "a while," I mean right around the time that my character ran into the same wall five times within the first four minutes of the game.)
The other means of navigation come from the apartment's sounds, which are all pretty decent. The television's static and the sink's drippings are the tools the player is given to work with in the first level. The rest of the game works the same way—whether it be street cars, space ships, steam pipes, or snoring monsters, the sounds are all the key to navigation. The trick is to move the iPad until the particular sound moves from one ear to another in order to get a bearing. If the sound is coming from both headphone speakers, then the object is directly in front of the player. Sounds easy enough, right?
Not really.
My major issue with the sound effects is that, while "navigating," the voice and sound effects can interrupt each other if the player moves too quickly to the next object. The sounds are triggered by the virtual position of the player. I guess I moved past too many triggers, causing one voice to overlap another and resulting in a convoluted mess of narration. This happened to me quite often.
After a lot of random wandering, I did finally make it to the matches. In fact, I made it out of the apartment, down the street and through the next few levels, as well.
But was I really getting the hang of the game, or just frustratingly guessing and meandering about? I think I was playing the game correctly—I mean, I followed the instructions and progressed through the levels with relative ease. However, I feel like I missed something here. The game could not hold my interest. I played the game for a long time. With my eyes closed, in a silent house. I knew I couldn't have any distractions. It's not like I could listen to music, or watch a movie in the background like I sometimes enjoy doing with the average game. Blindside requires the player's undivided attention.
Unrelated "feel good" movies that share the same name aside, for me, the game Blindside is sadly not very interesting. It was, however, a moment of self-discovery for me. I realized that I am not only possibly ADHD, but maybe I'm not as creative as I thought I was. For the life of me, I could not visualize these environments. I tried, but every time I thought I had a bead on the surroundings, the voice would chastise me for running into a wall, or he would simply scream in horrible pain as my lack of direction killed the poor bastard somehow.
The experience did not necessarily frighten, excite, or interest me. It did, however, frustrate me beyond belief. But the thing is, I don't think that is the game's fault. Perhaps I rely too much on visuals. Generally, I don't put visuals and sound in the same universe while playing a game. Sound is not anywhere near as important to me. Heck, sometimes, I play with the sound off.
For me, this game was like trying to listen to a song in Braille. Something essential was amiss. However, I still think it has the potential to be an important game for people who do have vision problems.
Being shown what the world would be like if I were blind is scary enough. Taking that world and adding monsters around every corner produces a seriously fucked up experience that I simply didn't care for as much as I hoped I would.
All that to say, if I ever went blind, I would apparently be totally screwed. After my struggle with Blindside, I definitely feel a better understanding of what a blind person must go through. In that respect, the game is effective.
In closing, this.
A review copy of this game was provided to us by the publisher.

I have a few spare 2.5" HP SAS SSDs sitting around and collecting dust for about 2-3 years now. They were used for about 1 day in another project that ended rather abruptly.
I now have a need to store and run several large VMs, for development purposes. I would like to try to find some use for these drives, did some research, and found that running VMs on USB/Thunderbolt SSDs (I have a MacBook Pro) has suitable enough performance for my needs.
I'm having some trouble finding off the shelf sort of solutions for getting SAS to interface with either USB or Thunderbolt. I was hoping someone with a bit more knowledge on SAS would be able to provide a creative solutions for this problem. Ideally, a portable drive enclosure would be the most suitable, though I doubt such options exist.
I'm not looking for product recommendations, simply more or less on ideas how to convert SAS to USB/TB, even if it's non-conventional.

What's the difference between meteor and meteorite?
A. Meteors are pieces of space rock, usually from larger comets or asteroids, that enter the Earth's atmosphere. Many are burned up by friction and the heat of the atmosphere, but those that strike the Earth are called meteorites. They hit the atmosphere at tremendous speed – up to 18,650 mph – releasing a huge amount of energy.
How often do meteorites hit Earth?
Smaller strikes happen five to 10 times a year. The larger category that includes the one Friday occur about every five years, according to Addi Bischoff, a mineralogist at the University of Muenster in Germany. Most fall over uninhabited areas.
How big was Friday's meteor and why did it cause so many injuries?
Before it entered the atmosphere, the meteor was about 49 feet in diameter and had a mass of 7,000 tons, NASA says.
The agency says the fireball it caused, which was brighter than the sun, was the biggest since a 1908 event in Siberia that devastated thousands of square miles of unpopulated forest.
The blast produced 20 times or more the explosive force of the U.S. bomb dropped over Hiroshima in 1945. But that bomb detonated just 2,000 feet above the densely populated city, while the Russian fireball exploded miles in the air.
Is there any link between this meteor and the larger asteroid that passed Earth later on Friday?
No, it's just cosmic coincidence. NASA says they had opposite trajectories.
What is the biggest meteor strike known?
Scientists believe that a huge meteorite strike on what today is Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula may have been responsible for the extinction of the dinosaurs about 66 million years ago. That theory suggests the impact would have thrown up vast amounts of dust that blanketed the sky for decades, altering Earth's climate.

College Hockey:One final NCHA-SUNYAC matchup as Eau Claire, Oswego go for the NCAA title
LAKE PLACID, N.Y. — The NCAA Division III men's hockey championship comes down to Oswego and Wisconsin-Eau Claire. It's the second year in a row their respective conferences will be battling for all the marbles.
For Eau Claire, it will be a first and a last. After competing in their first NCAA semifinal, a 5-1 victory over Utica on Friday, the Blugolds will be competing in their first championship game. On the flip side, it will be the last NCHA team to ever compete in the NCAA.
The Northern Collegiate Hockey Association will be disbanding after this season for men's hockey (the women's league will continue in reduced form). Eau Claire is one of the reasons why. The five Wisconsin state schools, members of the Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference in most of their sports, decided to leave the NCHA and play hockey under the WIAC umbrella. The remaining two NCHA schools, St. Norbert and St. Scholastica, will join the MCHA next season.
Thus, the conference which was formed in 1980 and has won 11 Division III national titles by five different schools (Bemidji State, Wisconsin-River Falls, Wisconsin-Stevens Point, Wisconsin-Superior and St. Norbert), will be no more once the final horn is sounded Saturday night in an arena made famous by an event in 1980.
Thus, Eau Claire will attempt to become the 12th national champion and sixth school to do so in the NCHA swan song. The Blugolds will be facing a team, like Utica, they have never played before.
"Another team we don't know much about," Eau Claire coach Matt Loen said. "It's going to be a fun game. They're experienced, been there, done that, for quite a few years for coach Ed [Gosek]. We're looking forward to a really good game."
It's that experience that Oswego and Gosek are hoping will be to their advantage. The Lakers have played in the championship game four times, winning it in 2007. More importantly, they have seen a lot of NCAA success recently, reaching the semifinal for the fourth straight year, and will be taking last year's championship failure as a lesson learned.
"The guys are getting a bit to eat here at the convention center and going right back to the Olympic Training Center," Gosek said after their 6-3 semifinal win over Norwich. "In the past, we've allowed them briefly to go to an alumni party. But our focus this year is to get them back, get them rested and refocused. Get as much physical rest, but as we learned, as much mental rest, so you let your mind to relax and unwind. I think those will be the keys. Hopefully, tomorrow it will help us bring our 'A' game. We didn't feel we had the jump last year in the championship game with St. Norbert. That's all you can ask. We hope for a good performance."
When Loen was jokingly asked if he would watch video of last year's final game to see how St. Norbert stopped Oswego, he laughed and said, "No, but I might put a phone call into Coach [Tim] Coghlin."
Oswego will be going for its second national title and fourth for its conference, the SUNYAC.
Eau Claire will be trying for its first championship, while closing out the NCHA as champions.

FRESNO, Calif. -- For most, summer is the chance to take a vacation and hit the beach, but for women's golfer and junior standout Hannah Sodersten, summer is the chance to practice her game and hit the links.
For the second year in a row, Sodersten qualified for the USGA Women's Amateur Public Links Championship in Dupont, Wash. on July 14-19.
"Being a veteran, I was confident heading into this tournament because I knew exactly what to expect," Sodersten said. "My main goal for this tournament was to make the cut for the match play portion of the tournament which I succeeded in doing. I feel that I played well and learned many new things that could help better my play significantly."
Sodersten finished stroke play in a tie for 60th place at four-over par, 148 (73-75) qualifying her to move onto match play. Sodersten then competed in the first round of match play in which she fell 3-2.
Competing amongst a field of highly skilled players, Sodersten was able to achieve personal goals and prepare for the coming season.
"A big part of this game is how you handle yourself mentally; staying positive will always give you a better outcome," Sodersten said. "The main thing that I took from this tournament that I will bring back to school in the fall is just to believe in myself. I know that I am capable of doing great things to help my team and I need to be sure to remember that in order to be successful."

[artist id="1269″]Jay-Z[/artist] has dropped Barack Obama's name in his rhymes, and Obama referenced Jay's lyrics when he dusted his shoulder off during a campaign appearance before he ascended to the White House. But it turns out the pair have more than just a passing appreciation for rhetorical flourishes.
In an interview with Jonathan Ross airing on the BBC Friday (February 19), Jay-Z revealed that the president has invited the rapper to the White House a number of times since Obama's inauguration.
"I've been invited to the White House a couple of times," Hov told Ross, although he said he hasn't taken up the president on the offer just yet. "Hopefully we'll keep him in for eight years, so I'll have time to get there."
The Brooklyn MC was an avid supporter of Obama during the presidential campaign and referenced him in a series of lyrics, most notably for Young Jeezy's hit "My President."
"Rosa Parks sat so Martin Luther could walk/ Martin Luther walked so Barack Obama could run/ Barack Obama ran so all the children could fly," he raps on the track. "So I'mma spread my wings/ You could meet me in the sky."
"It's just the progression. … You sat, you walked, you ran, you ran to fly," Jay told MTV News about his Obama rhyme last year on the eve of the inauguration. "You know, just the progression and how far we've come as a nation. It feels good to say that, 'cause I never had that type of feeling to say 'as a nation,' like I was part of the American dream. And I believe a lot of people didn't feel like a part of the American process for so long."
Although Obama has professed a love for an eclectic playlist of music that includes Stevie Wonder and Bob Dylan, he also said he is a fan of Jay-Z.
Jay-Z confirmed Obama's admiration when he told Ross the president was playing one of the rapper's albums when answered a phone call from Hov.
"Barack loves hip-hop," Jay said. "When I called him he was playing [The] Blueprint in the gym."

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. — Running a business can be a daunting responsibility, and perhaps at the core of this duty is strategizing the company's move toward growth.
David Bernstein, senior vice president at Turn-Key Industrial Engineering Services, recently presented an Association for Linen Management (ALM) webinar titled Growing Your Business, during which he laid out key strategies and considerations for business owners ready to develop and grow their company.
Bernstein's strategy first calls for owners to think of "SMART" goal setting: to be Specific about their company's goals; set Measurable, Attainable and Relevant goals; and create a Time frame for accomplishing those goals.
"If you say [you] want to increase [your] business, you need to start thinking about what business is it that [you] want to increase," says Bernstein. "What is it exactly that you want to do [and] what do you want to accomplish? And then make it measurable."
Think of establishing key performance indicators that will not only enable owners to track the company's progress, but also in an objective manner. Goals should ultimately be attainable by the company.
"A lot of times [owners] will really shoot very far into the stratosphere," he says. "When you challenge your team […] are you giving them a goal that is attainable or have you given them a stretch goal? Make sure that you're realistic with them about it."
"Everyone thinks that they can do many things and add a lot to their plate," he added. "But at a certain point, you start adding so much that you're not doing anything very well."
Another factor is determining whether a company has the physical means to sustain growth.
A clear understanding of the company's production model, staffing requirements and equipment purchase projections are the key factors Bernstein pointed out when owners take stock of their capacity analysis.
"Make sure that you can […] live up to the promises that you've made to your customers […] while making sure that you've got the right amount of people [and] equipment [and that] you're still caring for the equipment and the people in the way that they need to be."
Regarding acquiring new equipment to boost capacity, Bernstein advises laundry owners to consider the various industries that many laundries service, and whether their company has the means to provide that service.
For example, if a hospitality laundry owner wants to start processing food and beverage goods, Bernstein suggests that they might look into purchasing a sorting and counting system to process smaller garments.
"If you're strictly one or the other, moving to the one that you're not can be quite an adjustment on your people and your process," he says.
Taking on more accounts is one strategy to take to grow business. Another avenue Bernstein spoke about was the possibility of starting a direct sales/ancillary services department.
He cites several industrial, food and beverage, hospitality and healthcare laundries selling restroom services and cleaning supplies as part of their product line to existing customers.
"If you're not offering these kinds of services, your competitors will," he advises.
What strategies can owners take to develop and form new relationships with prospective customers? Bernstein admits that making cold calls can be a frightening ordeal, but there are other approaches owners can take.
A former customer, for example, may have become dissatisfied with your service. Consider calling them and addressing how your company has improved upon that specific service or product.
He also suggests using referrals, which allows barriers to come down because of the familiarity between contacts.
In addition to working with colleagues in scouting for new business, Bernstein suggests partnering with others in the industry who sell complementary products.
But no matter what approach business owners take, Bernstein recommends owners go out themselves and "make periodic visits" to customers.
"Remind them why they bought from you […] Remind them what you promised and that you delivered," he says.
"It never hurts to ask them, 'What could we do better?' You may learn something," he adds.
Bernstein suggests investing in services such as a customer relationship management (CRM) system—Zoho and Salesforce.com are examples—that will help employees organize, manage and automate a company's business.
He also suggests the use of marketing automation software like Marketo.com or Constant Contact to keep in touch with customers on a digital scope, as well as prospect research tools like Hoovers and Manta to help owners learn more about prospective customers in their market.
With this foundation in place, according to Bernstein, business owners can begin to reach their growth objectives.
"These are the things that you need to be doing if you're looking at growing your business and improving your sales."

UMass Unveils New Athletics Marks
Get NEW Minutemen Gear!
View The New Athletic Marks
AMHERST, Mass. - A new, vibrant and contemporary family of logos and word marks, along with a customized font package for the University of Massachusetts� 23-sport intercollegiate athletics program were publicly introduced during a press conference Wednesday afternoon at Boston�s historic Fenway Park.
�Today marks the culmination of a sixth-month process that builds upon the well-established spirit and tradition of UMass and the Minuteman,� Massachusetts Athletic Director Ian McCaw said. �At the same time, this new visual identity system is contemporary, inclusive, fashionable and exciting.
�We look forward to these marks being well received by students, alumni, friends and citizens of the Commonwealth. We believe that this new logo identity system will be long-lasting and continue to foster pride in our programs.�
The new identity program for UMass Athletics was created by the nationally-recognized Phoenix Design Works of New York City and includes the following components:
�This identity system captures the rich tradition, unique characteristics and strong appeal of UMass Athletics,� McCaw said. �We appreciate the opportunity afforded us today by the Boston Red Sox, and are grateful for their generosity in hosting this event.
�I�d also like to thank the department�s logo committee, the focus group participants and the Phoenix Design Works staff for their dedication and valuable input in developing a very strong visual identity program. As this has unfolded, we heard from our students, alumni and many friends around the nation, which made for a very healthy and spirited discussion about the department�s current logos and marks.�
A review of all UMass Athletics word marks, logos and color schemes currently being used by the department began last winter with McCaw�s appointment of an internal committee comprised of athletic staff and members of the University community. In February, Phoenix Design Works was selected by the department to provide the creative materials for the new identity system.
The internal committee, working with Phoenix Design Works, met several times throughout the spring to develop the new logos and marks. As part of the committee�s process, other potential mascots were discussed, along with a new-look Minuteman. On May 14, the department announced that the Minuteman would continue to serve as the department�s mascot, and over the next two months Phoenix put the finishing touches on the logos, marks and fonts being unveiled today.
Following the University�s mid-May announcement that the Minuteman would be retained as the University�s athletic mascot, UMass alum W. Greg Rothman (Class of 1989) showed his support for the Minuteman by donating $10,000 to the department. Rothman, a Political Science major at UMass, currently resides in Mechanicsburg, Pa., with his wife, Carolyn Akke Uilkema. The Rothman�s financial donation covered the initial cost of the project.
As part of UMass� new logo identity program, merchandise featuring the logos may be purchased by fans and alumni through the department�s Web site, www.umassathletics.com, or on campus at the University Bookstore. In addition, Twins Enterprise, a manufacturer and retailer located at 19 Yawkey Way in Boston and owned and operated by UMass graduates, will have some hats with the new logo available for purchase beginning after 4 p.m. on Wednesday.
The department�s Web site went live with the new logos and word marks at the same time Wednesday�s press conference began, and fans who had signed up to receive a sneak preview of the marks received them via E-mail earlier Wednesday.
The unveiling of the new athletics identifiers is the second in a series of revenue enhancement strategies announced by the athletic department this summer, following last week�s move to bring all facets of the radio network in-house.
�Releasing a new family of athletic marks and logos will afford the University with an opportunity to enhance revenues through licensing royalties,� McCaw said. �With increased merchandise sales and licensing royalties, we expect the department to surpass the break even point by September.�
Athletic teams were known as the Aggies and Statesmen in the early years, and were called the Redmen until the early 1970s. In the spring of 1972, a group of Native Americans from New York wrote a letter to the UMass administration asking if it was aware of the defamatory connotations of the word Redmen and if it could be curtailed. The student senate, through a poll of the student body, came up with several options for a new nickname, including the Minutemen. The name has an historical and patriotic relationship with the Commonwealth. Women�s athletic teams became know as the Minutewomen.
The new UMass primary mark is included with this release. The primary and secondary logos are also available on the UMass Web site (www.umassathletics.com).

Vigil to save Independent Living Fund & Your Right to Independent Living
Join DPAC on 13th March 2013 12.30 pm outside front entrance Royal Courts of Justice, the Strand, London, WC2A 2LL .
Funding for care and support for disabled people and especially for those with the most complex needs to live independently can come from 3 separate funding streams, social services, health and from the Independent Living Fund.
The Independent Living Fund is a ring fenced resource, for a priority group of just over 19,000 disabled people with high support needs that can provide a better lifestyle and outcomes for service users whose full needs would not be met by local authority funding.
Unlike local authority and health care funding which tends to focus simply on keeping disabled people alive and clean the funding available from ILF helps disabled people to take part in society on an equal basis to non-disabled people.
The closure of the ILF has obvious implications for the UK's chances of meeting all such obligations. Most importantly for those disabled people who will lose this financial support they will lose any independence and choice in their lives. You can listen to how this will affect disabled people at the below links.

Seriously, is this an instrument or just a plain signal generator? Electronical stuff that sounds like this are most likely broken. :) BTW, my old tv can produce sounds like that.
19-Feb-09 02:39 PM
there is alaways some dick saying that about any instrument that is remotely interesting and forward looking posted on the web. Why are musical reactionaries who have nothing to say so determined to be heard?? Maybe its all the same guy!!
24-Feb-09 04:34 AM
Not really a bad question, answer being:
It's the signal generator part of an instrument ... seriously.
Of note, the well working unit intended to sound as you heard and more.
I would also agree that televisions are great sound sources.

I love electronic music and analogue gear...BUT...this thing or any like it, could never be used musically in anyway...ever. There are much better, much less cumbersome, much less expensive alternatives. Time to get out of the dark ages people.
27-Feb-09 10:32 AM
Wow, endless possibilites for sound designers! Great product!
05-Apr-09 10:31 AM
there's price mentoned, how can you say much less expensive? How much is it anyway?
14-Mar-10 05:11 PM
They said $425 with w/o the expander, $500 with. A deal. 3 VCOs, a mixer 3 VCAs, Ring and Frequency Shifter for 4 bills? Try that with analog. Bring it on! If it's pure digital it'll be very musical. Timbers that track the whole audio range and pitch which will track with it.
14-Mar-10 05:19 PM
All the people that slag this product, or any product category that they obviously don't understand, obviously don't use modular synths to create music.
What a judgmental bunch of douchebags.

American Airlines Arena in Miami, Fla., will be the site for Game 6 of the 2014 NBA playoffs between the Indiana Pacers and Miami Heat. According to a May 30 SBN report, opening tipoff (start time) is scheduled for 8:40 p.m. EST (7:40 p.m. CST/5:40 p.m. PST) on ESPN (national TV) and online at Watch-ESPN (live stream) and ESPN-Deportes (Español).
The two-time defending NBA champs come in with a great opportunity to clinch their fourth-straight Eastern Conference title and eventually establish themselves as a dynasty by winning a three-peat. Playing the role of spoiler, last year's conference runners-up hope to force a Game 7 back on their home court with an improbable win this evening.
NBA playoffs oddsmakers at ESPN list the (3-2) Miami Heat [-8] as eight-point ATS favorites over the (2-3) Indiana Pacers [+8] in the penultimate game of this best-of-seven series. The OVER/UNDER is set at a combined total of 185 points, and alternate (straight-up) betting lines go as follows: Road team [+350] vs. Home team [-440].
For the Pacers, a CBS Sports report states that Lance Stephenson's on-court antics may force the organization to part ways with their former second-round pick following this season. Another (ESPN) report states that team president Larry Bird even met with the "ear-blowing" guard before Game 6 to issue him a warning.
"He said, 'Don't do it again,' so I'm not going to do it again," said Stephenson following his meeting with the legend. "He's kept me on the right path my whole career, and if he says something to me, I take it to heart."
For the Heat, with Indy being the higher seed, tonight's contest has to be looked at and approached as a winner-takes-all Game 7. An ABC News report wonders how LeBron James will bounce back following the worst game of his NBA playoff career tonight at home.
"The greats usually try to respond with a comeback-type of performance," said Pacers head coach Frank Vogel. "So I think we can expect that."
Can the Indiana Pacers go into hostile territory and force a decisive Game 7 back at Bankers Life Fieldhouse on Sunday, or will the Miami Heat remain perfect in closeout games at home with a "W" this evening? Here are some pretty interesting statistics to keep in mind heading into tonight's NBA playoffs Game 6 between the Pacers and Heat:
General Consensus Prior to ESPN Schedule TV Start Time
Indiana Pacers spread: 48 percent.
Miami Heat spread: 52 percent.
OVER action: 74 percent.
UNDER action: 26 percent.
ATS Trends Prior to Watch-ESPN/ESPN-Deportes Live Stream
Indiana is 5-2 in its last seven road games.
Indiana is 5-2 in its last seven road games against teams with winning home records.
Indiana is 16-35-1 in its last 52 games overall.
Miami is 4-0 in its last four home games versus a team with a winning road record.
Miami is 4-1 in its last five games following an ATS loss.
Miami is 4-1 in its last five home games.
Pacers vs Heat 2014 NBA Playoffs Key Game 6 Stats
OVER is 4-0 in the last 4 meetings at AmericanAirlines Arena.
Favorite is 4-0 ATS in the last 4 meetings.
Home team is 5-1 ATS in the last 6 meetings.
Pacers are 2-5 ATS in the last 7 meetings.
Pacers are 1-5 ATS in the last 6 meetings at AmericanAirlines Arena.

Recap | Box Score | Photo Gallery
Arizona Head Coach Sean Miller
"I think we had a lot of individual players do really well tonight. Jamelle (Horne) had 20 points, eight rebounds, Nic (Wise) had 24 points, and was ten of eleven for free throws. As a team, we did really well on defense, and to see us holding them to only 36 percent in field goals is a really big statistic for us. We held a really good offensive team that can really score."
"Kyle (Fogg) had a really solid game tonight, and it was good to see that from the start. It's easy to forget that he is very young and will get better as the season goes on. I also saw good things from our bench tonight. D.J. Shumpert had some minutes, as did Alex Jacobson. Even MoMo (Jones), who didn't have a lot of stats tonight, played some really good defense."
"We need to work on rebounding as a team. We weren't able to push the score, and get stops. A lot of the 15 rebounds we gave them came deep in the stretch. We have to learn to do this, or we'll have another loss like against UNLV. We had opportunities to make stops, but we didn't."
"I'm glad we were able to bounce back from the quick turnaround against Oklahoma. It wasn't easy, but we managed to do it. Our next game against San Diego State is going to be another really quick turnaround, and it'll be a challenge for us, but we are going to have to overcome it."
On defending No. 5 Olu Ashaolu and No. 22 Kyle Gibson
"Ashaolu is a great offensive rebounder, and I think that as a team, we defended him really well. He is a very strong player, especially with averaging a double-double going into this game. Also, it didn't seem like Gibson had 25 points tonight. He's the type of player that it doesn't seem like he's hit a lot of baskets, but he's racking up points, and could get even more if we hadn't covered him.
Arizona Player Quotes
Junior Forward Jamelle Horne
"We won. That's all it's about right now. We were coming off three tough losses, one bad one that we forgot about and put behind us. It felt good getting back home and getting a win. It's huge for our young guys. Louisiana Tech came in here a 7-1 ball club. They have a bunch of guys with a lot of experience, they're a tough team and they came in here playing hard right away. We kept our composure, though, and pulled out the win."
Sophomore Guard Kyle Fogg
"I think we wore them out with our subs. Coach told us to keep running. It helps when you get a stop on the defensive end, and then can get it up the floor for the easy baskets in transition that you saw."
Freshman Forward Derrick Williams
"Just one big play sparks the rest of the team. A big dunk gets the guys going and the crowd too. Jamelle had a couple of tip dunks, and I had a few big dunks."

There are sleep cycles and there are also weight loss cycles. Almost everyone loses weight on weekdays and gains weight on weekends. What separates the slim from the heavy isn't how much more they gain on weekends. It's how much they lose during the weekdays.
In a new study, "Weight Rhythms: Weight Increases During Weekends and Decreases During Weekdays," to be published in the journal Obesity Facts, (forthcoming) Researchers observed on which days of the week the participants in the study were most likely to gain or lose weight.
In this study, Dr. Brian Wansink from Cornell University Food & Brand Lab in collaboration with researchers from the VTT Technical Research Center of Finland and Tampere University of Technology, look into the impact that the seven-days-a-week human cycle has on weight, according to the February 3, 2014 news release by Joanna Ladzinski, Whether you lose or gain weight depends on weekdays.
Eighty adults participated in the study, ranging in age from 25 to 62 years old. These individuals were categorized according to relative weight changes: weight losers (-3% weight loss), weight gainers (+1% weight gain), and weight maintainers (-3% to 1% weight change).
These individuals were asked to weigh themselves after waking up before breakfast
Only weight measurements that were taken over at least seven consecutive days were included in the analysis. The minimum follow-up time was 15 days and maximum 330 days. The main objective of the study was to observe whether weight fluctuation is dependent on the days of the week. Weekly weight patterns were analyzed across the three groups: weight losers, weight gainers and weight maintainers.
The results revealed a clear pattern in weekly weight fluctuation with higher weight after weekends (Sunday and Monday) and decreasing weight during the weekdays reaching the lowest point on Friday. Unexpectedly the researchers found a difference between weight losers and weight gainers in these fluctuation patterns. Weight losers had stronger compensation pattern (i.e. after weekend the decrease started immediately and continued downward until Friday) whereas weight gainers had more variability between days and no clear decrease during weekdays.
Weight losers reached week's maximum weight in 59% of cases on Sunday and Monday and week's minimum weight in 60% of cases on Friday or Saturday
Among weight gainers no such a pattern was seen. Minimum and maximum weights did not systematically appear on certain days but they were evenly distributed all over the week. Based on these results, weight variations between weekdays and weekends should be considered normal instead of weight gain. On the weekends people have more time to go out and eat.
Some indulging during weekends makes no harm but for successful weight loss it is important to notice these rhythms and take steps to reverse the upward trends after the weekend, even if it has to wait until Monday. Successful weight control is more likely to happen and for the long run if one is not too strict with one's diet but allows for short-term splurges.

I'm interested in making original sequences and in finding a special property. I've been thinking a sequence $\{a_n\}$.
$\{a_n\}\ (n=0,1,2,\cdots)$ is defined as the following:
$$a_0=1, a_{n+1}=\sum_{j=0}^{n}a_j+\sum_{j=0}^na_ja_{n-j}.$$
By using computer, I expect the following would be proven true:
My expectation: There exists a constant $C\gt2$ such that $2^n\le a_n \le C^n$ for any $n$.
I can't prove this, but it seems true, indeed. Here is my question.
Question: Is this property is true? In other words, can this property be a theorem? If it can be a theorem, please show me how to prove it. If not, again please show me how to prove it.

Lighting Sizes and Types for Every Room
With rising energy costs, it is becoming more important than ever to control your lighting sources. If you haven't already made the necessary changes to your fixtures and bulbs, now might be the time to take a closer look at what types and sizes you should be using in each room throughout your house.
There are several different types of bulbs to select from:
- Incandescent is the most common bulb that has been in use for decades but will soon be phased out of the market. Incandescent bulbs are the least expensive and least energy efficient.
- Halogen is a variation of the incandescent bulb, but the halogen light is more efficient, has a longer life-span, and produces a brighter light.
- LEDs are light emitting diodes. They work differently than other bulbs in that they don't burn off of filaments. The light is produced by circulating electrons that give off light when electricity is applied. These are by far one of the most energy efficient bulbs.
- Fluorescent bulbs produce a brighter, whiter light. They consist of mercury filled tubes that emit ultraviolet light when electricity is supplied.
- CFLs, or compact fluorescent bulbs, are far more energy efficient than incandescent bulbs, using 67% less energy than incandescent bulbs. They also have a longer lifespan.
There are also different types and sizes of light bulbs.
- Colors. Light bulbs come in soft white, amber, blue, clear, frosted, black, yellow, and white.
- Shapes. Shapes vary depending on the type of bulb. Standard bulbs come in A-Line, reflector, globe, candle,flicker, bullet/torpedo, flame, PAR, tubular, ceiling fan, and specialty globes. CFLs come in 3-way, post, A-line, and spiral. Fluorescent bulbs come in linear, circular, and u-shaped. Halogen lights come in the A-line shape and PAR.
Choosing the right size for each room is determined by the amount of lighting the room requires and the type of bulb you choose to use. Your lighting fixture should indicate what the recommended bulb size is. With incandescent bulbs, the higher the wattage, the brighter the light. With the more energy efficient bulbs, the light emitted might actually be brighter than an incandescent bulb, with half the wattage required. If trying to switch between varieties, it is helpful to compare lumens and wattage charts. It is very important never to use a bulb that is a higher wattage than your fixture recommends. Brighter lights are better in bathrooms and kitchens, whereas, the warmer, softer bulbs work better in general living areas. Work with your electrical contractor to choose bulbs that fit your fixtures while adequately lighting each room.

ING appeal could spark anti-Brussels fight-back
Less muscle from Brussels?
In midcrisis, the Dutch bancassurer took aid on punitive terms. Now it is asking for leniency. The Commission may not relent, but other rescued banks could be emboldened to fight against mandated asset sales. In calmer times, a new competition commissioner may be sympathetic.

Any kid who ever tap-danced at a talent show or put on a curly wig and auditioned for "Annie" can only dream of being as beloved — or as important — as Shirley Temple.
Temple, who died Monday night at 85, sang, danced, sobbed and grinned her way into the hearts of Depression-era moviegoers and remains the ultimate child star decades later. Other pre-teens, from Macaulay Culkin to Miley Cyrus, have been as famous in their time. But none of them helped shape their time the way she did.
Dimpled, precocious and adorable, she was America's top box office star during Hollywood's golden age and such an enduring symbol of innocence that kids still know the drink named for her: a sweet, nonalcoholic cocktail of ginger ale and grenadine, topped with a maraschino cherry.
Her movies — which included "Bright Eyes" (1934), "Curly Top" (1935), "Dimples" (1936) and "Heidi" (1937) — featured sentimental themes and musical subplots, with stories of resilience that a struggling American public strongly identified with.
Her early life was free of the scandals that have plagued Cyrus, Lindsay Lohan and so many other child stars — parental feuds, or drug and alcohol addiction.
She was a tribute to the economic and inspirational power of movies, credited with helping to save 20th Century Fox from bankruptcy and praised by President Franklin D. Roosevelt himself as a bright spirit during a gloomy time.
She was "just absolutely marvelous, greatest in the world," director Allan Dwan told filmmaker-author Peter Bogdanovich in his book "Who the Devil Made It: Conversations with Legendary Film Directors."
"With Shirley, you'd just tell her once and she'd remember the rest of her life," said Dwan, who directed her in "Heidi" and "Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm." ''Whatever it was she was supposed to do — she'd do it. … And if one of the actors got stuck, she'd tell him what his line was — she knew it better than he did."
Her achievements did not end with movies. Retired from acting at 21, she went on to hold several diplomatic posts in Republican administrations, including ambassador to Czechoslovakia during the sudden collapse of communism in 1989.
Temple, known in private life as Shirley Temple Black, died at her home near San Francisco. The cause of death was not disclosed.
She appeared in scores of movies and kept children singing "On the Good Ship Lollipop" for generations. From 1935 to 1938, she was the most popular screen actress in the country and was a bigger draw than Clark Gable, Joan Crawford or Gary Cooper.
In 1999, the American Film Institute ranking of the greatest screen legends put Temple at No. 18 among the 25 actresses.
"I have one piece of advice for those of you who want to receive the lifetime achievement award: Start early," she quipped in 2006 as she was honored by the Screen Actors Guild.
In "Bright Eyes," Temple introduced the song "On the Good Ship Lollipop." She was teamed with the dancer Bill "Bojangles" Robinson in the 1935 movies "The Little Colonel" and "The Littlest Rebel." Their tap dance up the steps in "The Little Colonel" (at a time when interracial teamings were rare in Hollywood) became a landmark in the history of film dance.
At age 6, she won a special Academy Award — and was presented with a miniature Oscar statuette — in 1935 for her "outstanding contribution to screen entertainment" in the previous year.
Temple became a nationwide sensation. Mothers dressed their little girls like her, and a line of dolls was launched. Roosevelt observed: "As long as our country has Shirley Temple, we will be all right."
Temple's mother, Gertrude, worked to keep her daughter from being spoiled by fame and was a constant presence during filming. But Temple later suggested that in some ways, she grew up too soon. She stopped believing in Santa Claus at age 6, she once said, when "Mother took me to see him in a department store and he asked for my autograph."
Decades later, her interest in politics brought her back into the spotlight.
She made an unsuccessful bid as a GOP candidate for Congress in 1967. After Richard Nixon became president in 1969, he appointed her as a member of the U.S. delegation to the United Nations General Assembly. In the 1970s, she was U.S. ambassador to Ghana and later U.S. chief of protocol.
She then served as ambassador to Czechoslovakia during the administration of President George H.W. Bush.

People want to be successful. It's part of our human nature and the reason why we have risen to the top of the food chain over time. Some lack the confidence to set goals and therefore find themselves unworthy of achieving great things. But it doesn't mean that this desire isn't inherently within them. And waiting for the opportunity to bubble to the surface, and breakthrough.
Whether you want to become an athlete, be named CEO of some great organization or simply achieve a degree from college, most of us have set out for and have become successful at one time or another in our lives. Some see their success through the healthy relationships they garner, by being good parents, trustworthy friends and loving pet owners. There are many roads to success, and in order to reach it, to fully understand it, it is helpful to learn tips from other successful people about ways to achieve it.
One person who knows what success looks and feels like is Deepak Chopra. Renowned writer, lecturer and physician of mind-body medicine, he has written over fifty books, fourteen of which are bestsellers based on the mind, body and spirit. Chicago's very own, Oprah Winfrey has even used his knowledge, showcasing his advise on Oprah.com. On her site, he has written tidbits on self-realization matters ranging from pure consciousness, depression, spirituality and healthy aging.
And in his book, The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success, Deepak shares many pearls of wisdom surrounding the topic that many wish they had more of in their lives. Success. Written from a spiritual perspective, his readers begin to understand what it looks and feels like too. Material wealth alone doesn't make people successful. Think about it, how many wealthy people do you know who are truly happy with their lives? They may not have to worry about money issues, but how are they left feeling at the end of the day? Are they full of love or empty inside?
Chopra writes that, "success in life could be defined as the continued expansion of happiness and the progressive realization of worthy goals." But Deepak goes at step further, stating that true success also includes, "good health, energy and enthusiasm for life, fulfilling relationships, creative freedom, emotional and psychological stability, a sense of well-being, and peace of mind."
A more holistic approach to the sometimes overlooked experience of having what you want, when you want it. This is only the tip of the iceberg though, as Chopra goes on to lay out his seven spiritual laws for success. So, in the name of self-realization, we are going to learn from the best-of-the-best. In the next few weeks, we will look at Deepak Chopra's seven laws in greater detail. And at the same time, will discover local tools that can help you to work on applying his laws so that you can achieve your own success on your roadmap to life.

Information about the herb Eucalyptus
Eucalyptus globulus , also known as Australian Fever Tree is part of the Myrtaceae plant family. Eucalyptus is a tall evergreen tree native to Australia, including Tasmania
but now grows prolifically in North and South Africa, China, India, southern
Europe and California, USA and other Mediterranean and subtropical regions around
the world.
There are about 500 species of the Eucalyptus group
Botanical Name: Eucalyptus globulus
Plant Family: Myrtaceae
Common Names: Australian Fever Tree, Blue Gum Tree, Stringy Bark
History: The therapeutic uses of Eucalyptus has been used by traditional medicine systems, including Chinese, Indian Ayurvedic, and Greco-European. The properties of Eucalyptus were brought to the west by Baron Ferdinand von Muller in 1857 with present day commercial herbal preparations originating in Mediterranean and subtropical regions, including Spain and Morocco.
Throughout the 19th century in England, Eucalyptus oil was used in hospitals to clean urinary catheters.
Tradition: The Australian Aborigines have been using Eucalyptus ceremonially and medicinally for hundreds of years.
Plant Constituents of Eucalyptus
About 25 species are being used for their oils which are divided into three grades:
Medicinal Oils (distilled from the fresh leaves and branch tops of the Eucalyptus tree) containing:
Industrial Oils containing:
Varieties such as:
Aromatic Oils such as:
Medicinal Parts Used: Leaves, and the oil of the leaves

Seek help from an alternative medicine veterinarian who can help you with dosages and assessing the proper effects.
It is very good used in the household:
The Cold and 'Flu Remedy
Eucalyptus essential oil is extracted from the leaves and twigs of the Eucalyptus tree (Eucalyptus globulus), using steam distillation. The word "Eucalyptus" is derived from the Greek "eu" and "kalypto" meaning "well" and covered" (referring to the cup-like membrane that covers the flower bud that is thrown off as the flower expands). The Australian Blue-Gum tree is one of the major sources of Eucalyptus essential oil.
There are over 500 different species of Eucalyptus trees and they have blue-green, narrow, long and tough leaves. The flowers are creamy-white, and the bark is very papery and peels off on the sides of the trunk. If you have ever seen a Koala bear, then you have probably seen an Australian Blue-Gum tree, as this tree is the natural habitat of this cute-looking, highly strung bear.
The Surgeon General of the Australian colony, Dr John White, first distilled Eucalyptus essential oil in Australia in 1788.
Interest in the Australian Blue-Gum tree developed because it is very fast growing and uses up immense amounts of water. Eucalyptus trees are therefore used in agriculture to turn marshy, swampy ground into usable, arable land. This process also helps to eradicate the breeding ground of the malaria mosquito, helping the tree gain a reputation in the 19th century of being able to rid an area of fever or "miasma" (the source of malaria was not yet known), hence the name "Fever tree". Aborigines chew the roots of the Australian or Tasmanian Blue-Gum for their water content and also bind wounds with Eucalyptus leaves to promote healing.
Various ways to use Eucalyptus oil:
Please note: Eucalyptus essential oil should not be used by or on children under 12 years of age, and care should be taken when used by the elderly
Internally - In large doses the tannins in the leaves may cause:
Eucalyptus should not be used by persons with:
Eucalyptus should not be used by women who are:
Drug Interactions:
Do not use Eucalyptus without first talking to your practitioner or healthcare provider if you taking any of the following medications:
5-Fluorouracil (a medication used to treat cancer)
Pentobarbital (a barbiturate used for seizures)
Amphetamine (a stimulant used for narcolepsy and attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder)

WECT's Gavin Johnson leaving for N.C. Zoo position
Published: Thursday, January 30, 2014 at 11:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, January 30, 2014 at 11:30 a.m.
WECT-TV reporter Gavin Johnson has announced he will be leaving the station on Feb. 5 to take a job at the North Carolina Zoo.
Johnson will be the Information and Communications Specialist for the zoo, where he will draft press releases and step to the other side of the camera to handle interviews on behalf of the zoo.
But he'll get some time on camera, too. He will also be hosting the zoo's TV show, "NC Zoo Files," which is shown in parts of North Carolina and Virginia.
The Augusta State University graduate has worked at NBC affiliate WECT since August 2008, beginning as a government reporter before moving into his current role as Columbus County reporter.
"I'm very sad to be leaving. You become family with people after six years and I've seen a lot of people come and go myself. Even the bosses that hired me have since gone," Johnson said. "(I am) especially sad to be leaving Columbus County and everyone I have met out there."
Johnson's first day at the N.C. Zoo will be Feb. 10.

When the grimson red skies
Baths the horizon in a poisonous kiss
I kiss my hammer
I kiss my sword
My eyes glear of infernal joy
In my dreams I saw them
They made me swear the oath
At the seventh of the seven mountains
The twenty first of december
The skies bath the horizon in fire
I hold my sword before me and I
Kneel before the blood on the stone greet me!!!
This moment was chosen at the birth of the gods
A true son of aasgard I am
My sign is the color of the night
And the blood that ran on my fathers graves!!!
The oath is sworn the blood is given
Now I await you to pass me your forces

The 20 Most New Englandy Dishes
Imogene Woolcott was Yankee's first food editor and the first mass-media authority on New England cooking. Consider her the Martha Stewart of her day: She anchored daily radio broadcasts over the Yankee Network for First National Stores, wrote her monthly Yankee column, and gave lectures on home economics to women's groups around the region. If she were alive today, I'm sure she'd have a cooking show on PBS and a blog to go with it.
Her 1939 book, The Yankee Cook Book (Amereon Ltd.), a compilation of 377 recipes collected from the Yankee archives and from cooks around the six states, was in print for decades and is still a primary source for anyone wanting to learn about our regional foodways. That same year, in a Yankee article about the book, she praised its contents as a celebration of "the finest plain cooking in the world" listed the 20 "most typical" New England dishes.
She writes, "I am conscious of the dangers attendant on such a selection. But I am basing the popularity of these dishes on the number of recipes sent in as a result of my daily radio broadcasts over the Yankee Network in Boston. For example, I received 377 recipes for baked Indian pudding—more than for any other one dish. So, naturally, it heads the list."
And here it is:
- Baked Indian pudding
- Boston baked beans
- Boston brown bread
- Parker House rolls
- Clam chowder
- Johnnycake
- Codfish balls
- Yankee pot roast
- New England salt fish dinner (aka Cape Cod Turkey)
- Split-pea soup
- Red flannel hash
- Fish chowder
- Apple pandowdy
- Green tomato pickle
- Vermont turkey
- Cranberry sauce
- Pumpkin pie
- Coleslaw
- Scalloped oysters
- Broiled lobster
So what do you think, readers? Does her list stand the test of time? I can think of many dishes I'd like to add, including (Grape-nut pudding, common crackers, quahog fritters, apple pie with cheddar...). Let us know your thoughts in the comments!

when comparing two integers in bash, do we have to put double quotes ? In the official document http://tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/comparison-ops.html I can read that double quotes should appear every time... But what is the differences in the following examples:
[ "$VAR" -eq "1" ]
[ $VAR -eq "1" ]
[ "$VAR" -eq 1 ]
[ $VAR -eq 1 ]
As I am curious, a took a look at Ubuntu init scripts in /etc/init.d and there are many usage of arithmetic comparison in it, at least [ "$VAR" -eq "1" ] and [ $VAR -eq 1 ] are used... but it seems no one really "knows" what is the official way to do it.
Thanks !
