Undergraduate Program
Earning a Degree
Earning a degree in English is a rewarding experience, with benefits that last a lifetime. A major in English may be right for you, or, if you major in another department, you can profit from either a minor in English or certification in professional writing.
Here are some reasons why you should consider an English degree when planning your academic career:
For lovers of literature, writing, film, or the English language, studying English means doing what you love most. The skills and interests you gain will enrich your life now and after you graduate.
English is a versatile degree, leading to careers in many fields. Our graduates become advertising copywriters, business executives, editors, educators, entrepreneurs, technical writers, lawyers, journalists, and public relations specialists--to name just a few professions. In an information age, English graduates are increasingly prized for their analytic and communications skills. Organizations hire and reward them for their ability to propose, evaluate, and debate ideas and to write with clarity and force to an intended audience. A study comparing English, business, and engineering majors showed that, over the course of their careers, English graduates rise higher and earn better salaries than those in either of the other fields.
Fine Teaching
The English faculty is noted for fine teaching and concern for students. Campus-wide student evaluations consistently give English faculty and English courses among the highest ratings.
The English Department provides qualified students with a variety of internship opportunities with area businesses and organizations. Interns earn academic credit as they gain work experience. Internships are available in journalism, broadcasting, public relations, and other fields. Important Announcement: If you are interested in pursuing an internship in English, please plan on doing so in Spring 2015 or Spring 2016. ENG 498 will not be offered in Fall 2015. If you have questions please see Dr. Colleen Reilly (firstname.lastname@example.com).
Wentworth Student Travel Fellowships
Each year the department awards all-expense-paid fellowships to approximately six majors for travel to places in America or abroad associated with their favorite works of literature. Places visited have included England, Spain, Ireland, Germany, Italy, Greece, and the Czech Republic. Other opportunities for international study are also available.

Door Price: $35.00

Event Information At:
STEEL PULSE may have explored various styles of music since they started out in 1975, but when it comes to the message, theUK's Grammy – Winning reggae band has remained close to their roots. The Group have continued their commitment to fighting injustice, educating the masses, and promoting positive messages through spiritually uplifting music.
"We just can't ignore the politics, because every life and soul that's born on this earth is a political manoeuvre for someone, at some stage", Hinds explains. "From a spiritual aspect, it's really an upliftment through facing reality – what's out there. We deal with positive spirits. It means putting aside the guns, the drugs and all of the things that are ailments of society – especially the black communities right now".
STEEL PULSE have always taken their causes to heart, filing a $1 million class action lawsuit againstNew York City's Taxi & Limousine Commission. The group charged that cabbies refused to pick up blacks and Rastafarians throughout the streets ofNew York.

Jim Tressel resigns. USC is stripped of a national championship. Terrelle Pryor leaves Ohio State in disgrace and shame — assuming that he has a conscience.
Given the headlines of the past two weeks, these are dark, dark times at two of college football's marquee programs.
Throw in a scandal at the Fiesta Bowl, and a push from Congress in favor of a playoff, and the lingering stench from Cam Newton's recruitment to Auburn — and the sun isn't exactly shining on the sport as a whole.
Heck, you half-expect Touchdown Jesus to lower his arms out of embarrassment.
Yet through all of the teeth-gnashing and all of the pontificating, nobody is asking the most pertinent question about the state of big-time college sports: Why are colleges the de facto minor leagues for the NFL and the NBA?
Think about it. Many of America's colleges, purportedly founded for the purposes of education and enlightenment, are best-known as a training ground for billion-dollar industries that have nothing to do with learning. They're high-profile vocational schools.
How does this make sense?
In a search for the answer, we talked to Andrew Zimbalist, who might have the best job in the world. Zimbalist is a professor of economics at Smith College in Northampton, Mass., and he gets to spend much of his time thinking and writing about sports. Kind of like what I do — except that Zimbalist is smart.
"College football and college basketball started long before professional football and basketball," Zimbalist explains. "They were established."
This is different from baseball, in which the first professional league was established in 1871 and the National League came along in 1876 — long before well-established college sports.
So there you have it: The system for college football, the one that begets the scandals and the cheating and the corruption, is largely an accident of birth.
And the problems with that are endemic. With colleges able to make big money off football, you wind up with some students who have no business being in college; some athletes who are there because that's their only avenue to the pros; a big-money system masquerading as amateurism; an NCAA that is ill-equipped to be an enforcement division; and the never-settled question of whether athletes should be paid.
So why not have minor leagues in football and basketball?
Shouldn't athletes such as Pryor have options coming out of high school? If they want to eventually be an NFL player, shouldn't there be more than one avenue to that goal, rather than pretending to be interested in studying for a Shakespeare 101 final?
"Athletes who want to go to the NFL or the NBA wouldn't have to go to college and pretend that they're students and go through the rigmarole of college," Zimbalist said.
Yes, he said, "rigmarole." Told you he was smart.
"The under-the-table stuff that happens is because they're not allowed to pay the athletes what they're worth," Zimbalist said. "If it was an open market, there wouldn't be very much incentive to do that."
A minor-league system would help create that market. Players could get paid coming out of high school, if that's what they wanted, and the colleges could more easily adhere to the rules of the NCAA.
In this regard, baseball has the right idea. Major-league hopefuls can go to the minor leagues straight out of high school, or they can attend college. Two different paths, same destination in mind.
There are problems with this plan, of course. The first one is that it will never happen. Years ago, the colleges opened a Pandora's Box with football and basketball, and the sports are too popular and lucrative for that box to ever be closed. The system is too beneficial to the professional leagues, who have a ready-made labor pool without any of the expense.
But the biggest roadblock to the establishment of real minor leagues for football and basketball is that the fans don't want them. The fans don't care about the corruption. The fans aren't bothered by the fact that Jim Tressel has merely a passing acquaintance with the NCAA rule book — as long as the Buckeyes win on Saturday.
This is human nature.
But if you do care about such things, if you are bothered by the epidemic of corruption in college football and believe that all the highly successful programs are cheating, then understand this: You can talk about punishing coaches or paying athletes or overhauling the system, but the only meaningful change would come with the establishment of a minor-league system.

CTIA 2010 Hands-On With Nokia Nuron
Alongside LG, Nokia was another company that largely decided not to show up to CTIA, judging by its booth lineup. The biggest handset to get launched this week was the Nokia Nuron, aka XpressMusic 5230. This is certainly a newsmaker in and of itself, given its use of Symbian OS S60 5th Edition in a touchscreen for a price lower than $100.
It's definitely an affordable device at $70 on T-Mobile, one that can do a good job in most circumstances. But as I have noticed with the Kyocera Zio and Alcatel OT-980a, any smartphone that's priced that low is destined to be regarded as low-end, and typically for good reason.
In this case, the Nuron does a better job of feeling high-end due to its design. The Nuron's build feels great in the hand and I don't feel like Nokia just whipped out something plasticky, though I was certainly disappointed in the phone's resistive screen and lack of WiFi. The phone is only slightly delayed in response time.
The screen itself is sizeable enough; I just wish the screen used capacitive technology. Perhaps using resistive screens lowered the cost enough for everyone to agree to making and producing it.
I haven't had a chance to do a full review on the Nuron, but I did want to make sure I was able to share my first impressions with the phone at CTIA.
So if you're in the market for a new S60 touchscreen device in the US, watch this video and see for yourself if it will truly do the job for you.
And a gallery of Nuron glances:

The festival begins Friday, April 15th and runs through Saturday, April 16th. Among the many performers, the lineup includes Kevin Kling, Barbara McBride Smith, and Bill Lepp. For information about tickets and schedules, visit here. Big Blue Door By Sandy Hausman • May 23, 2014 Big Blue Door Story-telling is an ancient art, but it's getting a modern makeover in Charlottesville where two refugees from the theater world in New York are offering classes and promoting regular story-telling competitions. It's a Thursday night in Charlottesville – a school night – but the Wooly Mammoth bar is packed with people anxious to hear stories, like the one told by actress Broocks Willich. She and a friend had gone to Mexico to buy tile and were stopped by three policemen who searched the friend, found marijuana, demanded and got a $400 bribe. Barnum of the Blue Ridge By Connie Stevens • Apr 11, 2014 Some call him Virginia's own P.T. Barnum. Mark Cline and his towering roadside attractions are known throughout the state. Maybe you recall his April Fool's Day Foamhenge Project….or Dinosaur Land in White Post, Virginia. There's 75-hundred pound "lady in the lake" now living in Alabama….., and a 9-11 tribute in Waynesboro. Cline has hundreds of foam and fiberglass figures and characters, many live in Natural Bridge, where his Enchanted Castle studio is located.

Accies boss targets trophies
By Cheri Burns:
Hamilton Accies Ladies manager Kevin Murphy has big plans for his charges, insisting they can use their impressive end to last season as a springboard for future success.
After seeing the side bounce back from a poor start to the 2011-2012 campaign to finish 7th in the Scottish Women's Premier League (SWPL), Murphy believes they are capable of challenging for trophies when competitive play kicks off again next year.
He said: "Silverware is something we always aim to achieve at this club and next season will be no different. We set high standards and targets are also high.
"The players, as well as the coaching staff, are ambitious and we all feel a team like ours deserves to be in the mix for, and ultimately win, trophies."
Despite being confident and assured in what his squad can do, the boss, who has previously worked with outfits including Motherwell, is realistic about the challenges that lie ahead.
"We are under no illusions about how difficult it will be to reach the top. My job is to ensure that all players are well drilled and are working hard to improve. If we manage that then hopefully we will be in contention for domestic honours."
He singled out Accies' unity and determination as the attributes that have impressed him most.
"We have got a strong nucleus of players who are talented, dedicated and who stick together and do their best for each other, which is vital. Hard work and commitment are both key to doing well in any sport. I think we have that in abundance, and that in itself shows that we have made real progression, despite what the league table might have said this time last year."
Murphy particularly praised strikers Cheryl McCulloch and Toni Mason for their efforts throughout the past twelve months.
He said: "All of the players improved and developed in the last season, however, I do think our two award winners from the Player of the Year Awards deserve a special mention.
"The Players' Player of the Year, Cheryl McCulloch, was a popular choice as she typifies the traits that are important to a Hamilton Accies player.
"She is physical, brave, technically sound and has come on so much in terms of her general fitness. Cheryl has been at the club for a number of years but I would say this is the first year she has truly reached anywhere near her full potential. That is down to Cheryl herself. It was fantastic to see that all the hard work and commitment she has put in is recognised by her playing colleagues.
"Toni Mason, who scooped the accolade for overall Player of the Year 2012-2012, was fantastic too. Toni, this time around in particular, has really bought into all aspects of our training and reaped the rewards of this. She is vocal on the pitch and is a born winner who is more influential than she realises."
Looking to pre-season fixtures and beyond, the enthusiastic manager, who has also acted as Assistant Coach of Scotland's Under 19s, said he was eagerly anticipating what 2013 would bring.
He explained that the main aim is to continue the work done and, in doing so, mature as a unit.
"We have gained so much experience in recent months. Our players never cease to amaze me with their willingness to learn. The main thing for me is that they build on this and become even more determined to improve as we move into the new campaign.
"I am delighted with the squad and that the majority look set to remain with us for the time being. Sometimes last year was a real test of character but everyone worked hard at training and I was delighted with what I saw on a weekly basis. We have great belief and hope going forward."

Looking Glass Insects
(Charlotte Pryce, 2012, 4 min)
Looking Glass Insects takes its title from chapter three of Through the Looking Glass and its classic original illustrations by John Tenniel. Delighting in the act and play of observation the film finds a visual metaphor for the cinematic process in the antics of the original story; making use of magnifying glasses as an optical pun, pointing to the instruments used by both entomologists and filmmakers alike. Yet the insects of the story fade away, just as the observations that appear in the film's magnifying glass dissolve into darkness when tilted to reflect the "natural" world beyond the book. -CP

According to internet sensation Funky Dineva, rapper T.I. fathered a child outside of his marriage. Neither T.I nor Tiny have confirmed the rumor. For several weeks, rumors have been circulating regarding marital trouble between the rapper and his wife, Tameka "Tiny" Harris.
The Atlanta-based self-proclaimed "King of the South" rapper, has denied that they are having marital problems. Several outlets have reported that there was an explosive argument prior to the Grammy Awards, which resulted in them partying separately and leaving cryptic messages on their social media pages.
T.I first broke his silence to TMZ. According to TMZ, the rapper stated that there was an argument, but it was based on "something pretty petty." T.I alleges that the argument had to do with Tiny wanting to walk the red carpet at the award show and that he didn't want to.
The two were able to reconcile the next morning, according to the rapper.
Whether "T.I & Tiny: The Family Hustle" couple are headed for divorce is unknown.
Previously, there were allegations of an open marriage; however, Tiny denied it. There were also reports after Tiny ended her show "Tiny & Toya" that T.I. was controlling. However, no one knows what goes on behind closed doors.
The couple has been married for three years, but together for several. They have a blended family of six children.

Hey guys, it's been a minute. We kind of developed a game in the time I was gone!
We formed up a team called Neon Deity, got serious about it, put the official corporation stamp on ol' Extra Guy here and we're in the game making business now. Our first project is Shutshimi, and it's coming to Windows, Linux and XBLIG right away, with a Mac version to follow. And it's only going to cost one dollar. One measly dollar.
This means interesting things for Extra Guy. First off, we'll mostly be working on video games for the foreseeable future, so don't expect much in the way of news posts or reviews. We may post things that interest us from time to time, but we're moving out of that side of the industry here. Anthony is over at IndieGames.com and Wayne is over at Armless Octopus so you can still get your fix there.
Secondly, we're working on another type of product that we'll reveal in the future. We've been working on it for some time, but we just want to make sure we get all the details right before we unveil and unleash upon the world.
Anyway, I'll follow up with a post tomorrow specifically about Shutshimi. Thanks for checking us out all these years, and we hope you'll follow us through this new chapter we're starting.

Henry H. (Hap) Arnold Arnold (1886-1950) was Commander of the Army Air Forces in World War II, and the only air commander ever to attain the five-star rank of general of the armies. He was especially interested in the development of sophisticated aerospace technology to give the United States an edge in the achievement of air superiority and fostered the development of such innovations as jet aircraft, rocketry, rocket-assisted take-off, and supersonic flight. After a lengthy career as an Army aviator and commander that spanned the two world wars, he retired from active service in 1945.

As Rocktober continues to, well, rock…so does Jen as she debuts her second episode of The Stash, which turned out to be a good mix of new and classic rock.
Kicking off the weekend was keyboardist Marco Benevento who was celebrating the release of his new album TigerFace. Bringing the party to the Bowery Ballroom with Benevento was bassist Dave Dreiwitz, drummer Andy Borger and a rather animated, furry stuffed tiger head. The shenanigans continued backstage with a factory line of joint rolling and an important lesson learned.
Jen and her Music Stash headed to the Beacon Theatre on Tuesday night for a sold-out show of Crosby, Stills & Nash who proved that their music is just as relevant today as it was at Woodstock – some forty years ago. The band mixed fan favorites "Love The One You're With," "Wooden Ships," and "Suite: Judy Blue Eyes" with newer tracks like "Almost Gone" and "Radio."
Joining The Stash in the HIGH TIMES office this week was our first ever guest: Jon Topper, manager of the band moe. Topper spoke to us about his experience representing the US on his recent trip to China and Korea – and may have leaked that there's an upcoming winter festival in the works at Killington mountain. Jen credits moe. with her addiction… rather, passion of seeing live music and it was a treat to have Topper stop by.
Listen in for Jen's breakdown of the week's live music scene – as well as exciting upcoming events and great audio clips.
If that's not enough, head over to The Coda where you'll find recordings, photos, and videos pertaining to episode 2 of Jen's Music Stash.

Lindsey Lohan's 6126 line of leggings have been successfully sold at stores such as Neiman Marcus and DNAM Apparel. She's announced that she'll be expanding her line to a full apparel collection this coming fall.
The Fall 2010 collection will contain 100 pieces and further expand in Spring 2011 to a full lifestyle brand (including handbags, accessories, shoes, jewelry, etc.) with 150 pieces. The clothing items in the collection will be pieces that, naturally, go together well with leggings to creating contemporary and feminine outfits. A few examples that have popped up in design sketches include satin dresses, casual blazers, silk tunic tops, and studded vests.
The leggings and clothing will continued to be made with the same materials -modal, lace, leather and cashmere, and with prices ranging from $18 leggings to $300 leather jackets. Great news for those of us who thought $100 for a pair of leggings was ridiculous, despite how unique they were.
A lot of these sketches look great; I'm excited to see what 6126 will offer in the fall, especially at this lower price point!

Adam Kurkjian of the Boston Herald looks at the summer promotional activities of football head coach Charley Molnar as he toured the state and headed up various initiatives to energize the UMass fan base.
"So we really tried to spread the message to as many people as we could," Molnar said. "I'm a firm believer that you don't have to be a UMass grad to be a UMass football fan. I liken it very similar to Ohio State or to Penn State, where they've got some rabid fans who never attended college. There's no reason why we can't be the college football team for the state of Massachusetts."

Bestselling author Ann Victoria Roberts has built a solid career writing historical novels, including "Liam's Story" set (in part) during World War I. In time for the centenary of the First World War, the book is now available online as an e-book. The author graciously agreed to an interview with NY Books Examiner Eleni Sakellis to talk about history, inspiration, and writing.
Eleni Sakellis: A diary from 1916 inspired you to write "Liam's Story"; do you often find inspiration for your work in history and/or historical documents?
Ann Victoria Roberts: In effect the World War I diary, written by a young Englishman who'd emigrated to Australia in 1913, inspired two books. I had intended to write about his experiences fighting with the Australians in World War I, but his story had to wait. Research into his family background revealed so much, even on the first attempt, it set my imagination working overtime. It was so extraordinary, I knew I couldn't write his story effectively until I'd written about his parents. That first novel, a triangular love story set in York and Dublin 1892-99, was "Louisa Elliott", which became an international bestseller in 1989-90.
"Liam's Story", published as "Morning's Gate" in the USA, was directly inspired by the 1916 diary. A dual-time novel, it's set in the mid-1980s, during the first Gulf war, and the World War I era. It concerns two sets of lovers, with family history and the tragedy of world conflict linking the strands. A lot of World War I research went into that, but I was able to draw on my husband's experience as the captain of an oil tanker in the 1980s, for the Gulf War.
Later, living for a while in the little port of Whitby, on the Yorkshire coast, I kept seeing the work of Victorian photographers, and wondering at the stories behind the pictures. The author of "Dracula", Bram Stoker, had also spent time there in the late 19th century, which answered a question I'd wondered about for years; why did Whitby feature in his novel? I connected the two in "Moon Rising", another bestseller from 2000, which will be re-published in 2015.
"The Master's Tale" the story of Captain Smith of the Titanic was published independently in 2011, and inspired directly by one document. Thanks to my husband (then a marine pilot in Southampton) I was privileged to see the Dockmaster's Log Book from 1912 and the entries there set both of us drawing in our breaths. We both knew what those entries meant – and it was not good. I knew at once that I had to write Captain Smith's story and it had to be in his own words. So it's a ghost story about Time and Coincidence told from beyond the grave.
ES: Where else do you find inspiration for your writing?
AVR: Places inspire me. Mostly I visit and spend time in the place I'm writing about – talking to local people, absorbing the atmosphere, mentally fitting old photos or paintings into what I'm seeing around me. It helps to 'inhabit' the place and its history, so that when I'm writing, I am the character, seeing the place as it was then.
I once likened writing a novel to being the director of a film – one in which the director has also written the script and has a starring role in the production. Except that in a novel, the author gets to play every part as well as painting the scenery… No doubt the perfect outlet for a control-freak!
ES: What is your writing regime? Do you outline?
AVR: I do a rough outline – shaped mostly by initial research. The detailed stuff comes as and when needed. But always I have a beginning and an ending before I start. Inevitably, the journey between the two diverts and changes as the story progresses – this certainly happened with the first two novels. The characters also develop wills of their own and don't always turn out as I'd imagined at first. But I try to keep the ending in sight and the plot roughly on course. It's a great feeling when you know the ending is close – and nothing beats writing that last line!
ES: Thank you, Ann Victoria Roberts for taking the time out of your busy schedule for this interview.

So many bars make you feel like you should be an experienced, intense "drinker" or they concoct a vibe that puts so many people on edge. Think of the laidback feeling of a café -- how you can curl up in a funky chair, read a book or type on a device. Think of its lack of pressure and that's the ambiance of McAllen, Texas' Roosevelt's at 7 821 N. Main St., McAllen, TX 78501. It's kind of a "local secret". The place plays homage to classic movie stars, both in art and in naming its menu offerings. I was very glad to be hosted to experience it!
They carry a great selection of beers on draft, both American and international. I tried a coconut-curry Hefeweizen, which sounds like it would be weird, but it was great! Refreshing with a hint of exotic flavor.
Their menu is classic bar fare, but done with quality ingredients. A seared tuna appetizer was beautifully fresh, cut into paper thin slices, adding to its tenderness.

Sometimes the shapes are barely visible, sometimes they explode into extreme brightness. In some sequences the quality of the light is steady, during other times it fluctuates and breaks apart into scintillating particles. Sounds - transformed recordings of a low piano keys and tiny high pitched mechanical noises - fill the room, sometimes in sync with the visual aspects and sometimes running simply in parallel.
Dense and tiny sonic events seem to emerge from the light object, embedded in distant echoes of decaying piano notes, a mysterious stream of sounds with no end and no beginning. Sound and light play with each other; commenting and complementing gestures that merge into one single breathing, bodiless entity.
The visual and the auditive component are created in realtime using statistic and stochastic algorithms. As a result, the duration of the work is infinite and it never repeats. Due to the complex nature of the code and its embedded randomness, it is quite impossible to predict future states. However, additional rules within the program ensure that the installation cannot 'explode' or 'fade away' but instead always swings back into a more or less stable state after it reaches certain boundaries.

Social Conflict and Environmental Change
Environmental History at Yale hosted a one-day conference on "Social Conflict and Environmental Change in Comparative and Historical Perspective" on April 17. The conference engaged 55 graduate students and faculty from 20 northeastern colleges and universities in an examination of the intersection of social and environmental history.
"Environmental conflict is going to be the fundamental source of conflict in the future," said University of Kansas Professor Donald Worster, the Strachan Donnelley Visiting Environmental Scholar and the conference's keynote speaker. The issue "really needs the full engagement of people in the field of history and humanities," said Worster. Helen Curry, a doctoral student in Yale's History of Science and Medicine program and a conference organizer, echoed the importance of the symposium topic, adding, "Having a conference centered on the theme of environmental conflict not only enables those in the field to explore this subject together, but also hopefully draws the attention of other academics to critical social and environmental issues."
Presentations by doctoral students from eight universities explored the conference's three central themes. Speakers examined political conflicts associated with the extraction and exploitation of biological resources and tensions surrounding technological expertise in natural resource development. "Both the quality and the variety of the papers make me feel extremely encouraged about the state of the field" said Harriet Ritvo, MIT Professor of History and President of the American Society for Environmental History. "There's a lot of good work in the pipeline and we should all be very happy, at least about the field, if not about the environment."
The day concluded with a faculty panel featuring Karl Jacoby (Brown), Emmanuel Kreike (Princeton), and Harriet Ritvo (MIT). Faculty from Yale, Cornell, Wesleyan, and Boston University also chaired and commented on individual panels. "The conference caps a year of stepped-up activity on campus focused on environmental history," said Paul Sabin, assistant professor of environmental history at Yale. "We look forward to continuing to build on growing student and faculty interest to continue our programming in the coming year."

The current Chevrolet Niva has been produced by GM and its Russian partner AvtoVAZ since 1998, so it'll come as no surprise that a new model is finally on the horizon.
Teased ahead of an official debut in concept form at the Moscow Motor Show later this month, it appears the next-gen compact SUV will carry over the current Niva's off-road focus.
As you can see in our brightened image, protective cladding, a snorkel and front skid plate join large winter tyres, plus there's a bespoke roof rack complete with auxiliary lights and spare wheel (a second spare is mounted on the boot).
While not all of the concept's rugged add-ons will reach production – at least not as standard – the sculpted flanks, high waistline and raised ride height look set to feature when the Niva arrives in 2016.
And, although it's understood GM's decision to axe Chevrolet in Europe won't effect how the Niva is sold in Russia, if the 4x4 reaches these shores expect it to wear a different badge and even gain slightly revised styling.

As Bill Cummins sat inside his Vine Street apartment this morning, he got an early jolt.
He first thought a tractor-trailer hit the building, but later discovered an explosion in the building's laundry room was to blame.
"All you heard was kaboom," said the 46-year-old, adding that he fled the apartment and called 911. "I saw flames shooting out of the roof. It was pretty scary."
The Harrisonburg Fire Department responded to the blaze at 936 Vine St. shortly before 7 a.m.
Chief Larry Shifflett said heavy flames were still visible when firefighters arrived.
"It was a pretty good fire, but once we had people on the scene, it didn't last long," said Shifflett. "We had it knocked down in about 20 minutes."
Shifflett said the explosion was caused by a propane gas leak. The chief said there was someone in the laundry room about an hour before the blast but that person said they didn't notice anything that smelled funny.
"There is some accidental damage to the pipe that shouldn't have been caused by the explosion," said Shifflett. "Someone could have moved a machine. There are several different ways it could have been damaged but we will probably never know exactly what."
Despite the explosion, he said residents shouldn't be worried about using propane or natural gas in their homes.
"They are both very safe fuels for use," he said. "When they are contained in their supply vessels and pipes they are very safe in use. It's when there is a breach that lets the gas out is when we have problems. I doesn't happen very often, but this morning it did."
The laundry room was destroyed, but the fire didn't spread to any apartments. However, six people are displaced due to smoke and water damage. The American Red Cross is working to find them temporary housing.
Shifflett said he's grateful that no one was inside the room when it exploded. He said the blast was powerful.
"If there would have been someone in the laundry room, I suspect would have been dealing with a fatality," said Shifflett.

The FBI is offering a $20,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the masked men who kidnapped a local beauty from a home in Atlantic City.
Nadirah Ruffin, 19, was abducted Saturday night from her friend's house on Maryland Avenue in the inlet section of the city. The kidnapping resulted from a home invasion by four masked men who were armed with guns, according to police.
Ruffin was forced at gunpoint out of the house and into a car.
Since the Saturday night kidnapping there has been no communication or ransom demand for Ruffin. The FBI stepped into the case along with local, county and state law enforcement agencies.
Seven days have passed without a ransom note; law enforcement are considering that Ruffin may have been taken across state lines.
Ruffin is described by police as a medium-skinned black women. She is 5' 4" tall, 120 pounds and has a tattoo on her neck that reads "so sweet." She wear glasses.
Ruffin has a 4-year-old child at home waiting for her return, along with her family and friends. Police say any small piece of information could be critical to the investigation and they are hoping the local community will get involved.
Police and the FBI are asking people with information to contact the Atlantic City Police at (609) 347-5766 or anonymously by contacting the Atlantic County Crime Stoppers, (609) 652-1234 or 1-800-658-8477.

OB fanatics, you've probably already figured out that some of us are Art History nerds. If you haven't put the puzzle pieces together yet, here you go: we think the Art to Go Bag ($150) is super sweet, in that sexy librarian kind of way. Thirty assorted slides of objects in the Getty's collection line the walls of this bag, so it's like we're in a museum all day.
We'd do an Eye Spy style Culture Club on this one, but too bad, so sad, we can't quite make out the individual images.

By now, many of us have heard about Ryan Bensen and Erica Manley leaving their server at the Twisted Fish Steakhouse in Seaside, Oregon an unusual tip. However, this is not the first time we have heard or even witnessed someone who is short on cash paying with an alternate form of payment. Sometimes an IOU is given and other times special favors are exchanged. When it comes to dealing with a server at a restaurant, you need to choose your alternate payment method carefully.
Some methods of payment are more accepted than others. Then there are those that are just plain illegal to give and receive. As much as a server could use the tip, I am sure he or she does not want to face jail time for a $10 tip. Before arranging to lay down that alternative form of tip, check with the server to make sure it is appropriate to give it.
TRY: A loaded store gift card!
Who does not enjoy a Walmart, Target or other major store gift card? As long as it actually has the full tip amount, or more loaded, your server probably will not mind.
TRY: Winning lottery and scratch off lottery tickets!
We are not talking about giving the server you megabucks winning ticket – though I'm sure a server would greatly accept that. However, those smaller, $3, $5, and $10 winnings are easy to redeem at any store that sells lottery tickets.
TRY: Casino ticket voucher!
Say you forgot to cash out a $5 winnings voucher before leaving Delaware Park earlier that day. If you are short on cash for the tip had that baby over to your server. The server can stop by Delaware Park on the way home, insert that ticket into a terminal and get their cash.
DO NOT ATTEMPT: Tipping with a SNAP EBT
Your EBT card is for you and your family to purchase food from the market with for you to prepare meals with. It is illegal to use it for any other purpose, including selling those "stamps" or using them as payment for something else.
DO NOT ATTEMPT: Leaving a note or snarky remark on your Receipt.
I can understand wanting to explain that you cannot afford a tip. However, that explanation is best done face-to-face. Absolutely, do not leave a sarcastic or downright mean note on the bill stating the many reasons you feel a tip is not due. Besides being in poor taste, your message will end up on the internet. We all know what can happen when the Interwebs go after you.
DO NOT ATTEMPT: Paying with drugs.
Please do not take a page from Bensen and Manley and pay your tip with crystal meth, pot, cocaine, crack, or any other illegal drug. Do you really want to end up in jail for tip worth only $5 to $10.

Easter Feasts
Melissa Zmijewski | Photo: Courtesy of The Bristol | April 9, 2014
Easter is upon us, and scores of Chicago's top restos are pulling out the stops with lavish buffets and specialty menu items. Here are five destinations that caught our eye.
1. The Bristol
Bucktown's gourmet staple (and Michelin Bib Gourmand recipient) infuses its Easter brunch ($29) with signature gastronomic flair. Start with a sharable assortment of delicious baked goods from Pastry Chef Sarah Koechling (highlights include blue cheese and pecan scones and lemon Earl Grey pound cake), followed by an individual dish from Chris Pandel's special menu. At the top of our list: the MG burger with duck confit, pickled peppers and smoked gruyere, or the open-faced egg sandwich with pork belly, Mornay sauce and Texas toast. Have a sweet tooth? Then indulge with the butter pecan whole wheat pancakes. Pair yours with one of The Bristol's handcrafted cocktails—flavors better than any chocolate bunny! 2152 N. Damen Ave., Chicago, 773.862.5555
2. Devon Seafood Grill
This River North destination recently launched brunch service, and what better time to check it out than Easter? Bring your appetite to this expansive, all-you-can-eat buffet ($48 for adults, $16 for children ages 4-12), which boasts the best of both land (slow roasted prime rib, sausage links and chicken picatta) and sea (steamed Alaskan King Crab legs, fresh oysters, peppered mackerel, and more). Kid-friendly choices abound as well, such as biscuits and gravy, scrambled eggs and country style home fries. Dig in! 10AM-3PM. 39 E. Chicago Ave., 312.440.8660
3. Sixteen
Those looking to start a posh new Easter tradition need look no further than this epicurean mecca inside Chicago Trump International Hotel & Tower. Start with a complimentary glass of Champagne and explore the many options of the lavish buffet spread: mouthwatering lamb and prime rib carving stations, a well-stocked seafood table and a bevy of specialty entrees (veal medallions with glazed fava beans and ramp-stuffed morel mushrooms, anyone?). Executive Pastry Chef Aya Fukai offers her own version of an Easter basket: a sweet selection of chocolate eggs, dessert takeaways and an exclusive goody bag. To top it all off, pint-size diners can delight in an Easter egg hunt and petting zoo. Tickets $148 for adults, $35 for children ages 7 and younger. 10:30AM-3PM. 401 N. Wabash Ave., Chicago, 312.588.8030
4. Pecking Order
Venture off the beaten path and head to Kristine Subido's much-lauded poultry palace for a Filipino-inspired brunch ($17 for adults; $8.50 children under 13). Chicken is obviously the star of the menu, but Subido is also serving up housemade longaniza sausages, fried sweet plantains with jack fruit chutney and traditional arroz caldo. Save room for the always popular Mom's Desserts: sticky rice with coconut caramel, leche flan and purple yam cake. 11AM-3PM. 4416 N. Clark St., 773.907.9900
5. Tuscany on Taylor Street
Enjoy some old-school Italian charm at Tuscany on Taylor Street and mangia to your heart's content on chef Victorio Padilla special a la carte menu. Feast on grilled New Zealand rack of lamb ($37), paglia e fieno (spinach and egg noodles, chicken breast, sundried tomato and pesto cream sauce, $17) and pork belly Benedict on toasted ciabatta ($14). Now that's molto bene! 11AM-2PM. 1014 W. Taylor St., 312.829.1990

after inspecting and cleaning my axle, it must be assembled again.
according to my servicarmanual, axle-end freeplay must be between.003 and .005.
in my situation left .009 and right.0011. (1952 hydraulic brake) (the axle ends can move sideways,pushing on left-,than right comes out a little.push right will poush left out
the lock-rings are a little worn on the inside (on side of differential-gear spacer) i think thats were freeplay comes from.
when i rotate the axle-half-lockrings (inside facing outside) there is no freeplay or moving sideways.
my lockrings are .125 thick, the standard version. if i put new ones in my rear , there will be NO freeplay.
what are my options ? order.125 and make them .003-.005 thinner? or assemble with 009 and 0011
anybody ideas?

Winter Salad Bowl (page 2 of 4)
by Jack Ruttle
Arugula (Eruca sativa)
Recently, arugula has become king of gourmet salad greens. It's also among the hardiest. The plant achieves finest flavor when grown in the cooler months, and the leaves maintain quality through repeated freeze/thaw cycles.
Coleman harvests October-sown arugula in his tunnel-covered cold frames through January. For midwinter, the variety Selvatica takes the cold a little better and is a little milder flavored, though it's a bit slower to germinate tha the ordinary arugula.
"Arugula is what I find myself sowing the most. It's quicker to sprout and grow over a wider range of temperatures than just about anything else. In January, when I stop strewing mache in gaps between plants, I start with the arugula seed," he says. Thinnings from early January are big enough to harvest in two months.
Plant arugula in rows four inches apart, with seed about an inch apart in the row. Begin harvesting plants at two inches tall, until plants are six inches apart. Cut the tough root. On larger plants, harvest outer leaves.
Claytonia (Montia perfoliata)
This is the Pacific Coast miner's lettuce, which has been selected for winter salad production by German and Dutch seedsmen. In Europe it's sometimes called winter purslane. The plant produces a cluster of smooth, tender leaves atop four-inch stalks that arise from a crown that will produce new leaves all winter. In spring, clusters of white flowers form where the stalk joins the leaf. The leaves with flowers are edible, too -- it's one of the few leaf crops whose flavor doesn't go downhill when the plant begins to flower.
Coleman broadcasts the very small seed in shallow rows spaced four to six inches apart. In the furrows, the seed should be about an inch apart. Begin harvesting two months later. Coleman grasps a bunch of the leaf stalks and cuts them about four inches below the leaf. Then he trims off the bottom two inches for the compost pile. The plant grows a new cluster of leaves and the harvest continues in the frames all winter.
Endive (Chicorium endiva)
Both ragged-edged and the broad-leaved (or escarole) endive make very large plants, much bigger than a lettuce. Late in the season, once plants are large, tie leaves into a bunch to make a blanched heart. Protected by frames, these will last well into winter. Though the outer leaves freeze and spoil, there will be a delectable heart inside even in January.
To get large endives takes about 80 days, but some smaller types mature more quickly, and any will give delicious, "thinning"-sized plants (about four inches tall) in 45 days. In the North, a September sowing will not make large heads. In the South, sow endive thick and early for thinnings and for large heads in winter. Small endive plants are a component of mesclun, a mixture of young salad greens. Younger leaves are more delicate and not as strong-tasting as mature leaves. In frames, sow the seed an inch apart and harvest thinnings. Once the plants are about six inches apart, begin harvesting outer leaves.

The Johnston Letter, Volume 3, Number 1
Sleeping Giant -- Beware!
By Jill Johnston
Copyright 2007 Jill Johnston
On Magna Carta day, that's June 15, I heard a baseball commentator say that when the Mets played the Yankees that evening, there would be enough star power on the field to light up all of New York City. In that case, the place to be was at large in the city, not in the stadium, a place I could never get to anyway. I could just peer out my window, and see the city all lit up. I wait for unusual events like this -- especially if I don't have to go outside. Going across town a few months ago to see "The History Boys," waiting in a basement lobby of the theater while Ingrid stood in a ticket line outside, a new feeling overcame me: a fear of not being home. Once we got into our seats and saw the movie, which by the way we liked very much, I forgot my fear. Now the film, worth seeing more than once, is on order, and I can see it as a Video, lolling in bed. The Yankees barely light up your screen now, much less the city. They're all in the doldrums from losing game after game, proving out my theory that their star player Alex Rodriguez is bad news for the team. His history before the Yankees bought him for trillions was as a heavenly body on two losing teams, the Seattle Mariners and the Texas Rangers. Now at mid-season he has 28 home runs and soars in other stats above both team members and league competitors; and the commentators can't stop saying how great he is, or to put it in trash-speak, sucking him off. Why I care about this is a mystery to me. I have true concerns. There are places to go for instance that are much more fearsome than crosstown for a movie. Uptown is one of these places. Usually Ingrid drives me there to some appointment or other, and the city traffic makes me berzongers. The noise of course is apocalyptic, but people, vehicles and buildings are surreally colliding, while every fender is about to rubbish your own, especially fenders of taxis which pretty much own the streets. Then once we get there wherever there is, I feel desperate to be home. One day I entered a lobby on Madison near 60th familiar to me for 30 years. My dentist Stanley, upstairs on the 16th floor, knows from his records how many times I've been there and it's many more than the number of Rodriguez's career home runs. I used to climb the 16 flights. Now I call up on my cell, and Stanley's wife, assistant or hygienist very considerately comes down in an elevator to get me. I figure they go up and down these elevators every day, and they're still alive, so I'm bound to be safe in their company. Just in case however, I always have some food and water with me. On this particular day, I had no water, and when I called up I asked Gail who was coming down for me to please bring some in one of their paper dental cups. When she came down, holding the little cup of water, and saw me in the lobby, she said I looked very pale and should go home. Whadda relief! At home I could see "Glory" for the fifth time in a row. Now I understand at last why black men were enfranchised in America 50 years before women of any color. The "Negroes" of the Massachusetts 54th Regiment, led by Matthew Broderick playing the role of his life as Colonel Shaw, heroically helped the Union win the war. I start crying as soon as the film begins. I remember seeing Denzel collect his Oscar for supporting role, and protesting the absence of an award for the film itself. I know there were other black regiments, but now I own the Massachusetts 54th. I love them. And I love Matthew for dying with them. I have unexpected sympathy for war. Or for men not feeling like men unless they fight, and fight to the death. The problem Hillary has of course in wanting to be president is that she was raised to skip rope, hula hoop, paddle ball and look good, not go to war, and for this reason it is conjectured that she voted with GW for the war in 2002. "Hillary Clinton Searches for her Inner Jock," the title of a Times Op Ed piece, made fun of her sports interests, the run-up for war in all male cultures. Her favorite fitness activity is speed walking. Her hobbies include crossword puzzles, Scrabble and gardening. I would have added that we can't have a president who "throws like a girl," as no doubt Hillary does, at the opening World Series baseball game, certainly not a Yankee game, where promises of lighting up the city exist, once Yankee management realizes that Alex Rodriguez should star on a different losing team, maybe returning to Texas or Seattle. In this Inner Jock article, it's reported that Hillary told Billie Jean King she once played softball and tennis. How about Billie Jean for president? Her "jock" is out there, and she would surely improve women's tennis by showing up on the courts to play in shorts. The women hit balls hard now, but they play virtually in tutus, the most outrageous oxymoron in all of sports. I'm sorry for them though, because if they play in shorts they'd be called you know what. It's a true concern. Recently a feminist from the old daze -- her name is Gloria Steinem -- aroused an interest of mine that was once quite strong, but has rested dormant in the manner of a sleeping giant wearing a big sign saying DO NOT EVER DISTURB. Gloria sent a polite letter to the Times about Obama and Hillary, equating them through coalition histories uniting men of color and women of all races, and at the end saying we should work for one of these candidates, but not against the other! She says she just says yes when reporters ask her if she's supporting Hillary or Obama. She's eager not to be or sound divisive. But as she meanders on in the same letter, she has perhaps forgotten the divisions between women, repeating a split that she once helped to create. Noting the incontestable, that "In the 1960s... the Civil Rights movement started a new wave of equality," she then gives great pause (to anyone paying attention) by listing three of the ensuing movements -- "Feminism, Native Americans, Gays and Lesbians" -- in one breath. Her third phrase, uniting L-people, i.e. women, with men, i.e. "Gay" men, was hardly Gloria's invention. It developed, and subsequently hardened, over shared issues of Civil Rights, mostly marital. At the same time, it has obscured a critical ideology known as "lesbian feminism." Who will (not) remember that the L-people, at least the ones who knew what gender they were, were not only feminists but the only feminists who were revolutionaries? The others, like Gloria, but excluding Ti-Grace, were strictly reformists. Now I lay me [back] down to sleep, as the prayer goes. In a kind of counter-revolutionary spirit, I have two enormous framed pictures on our walls featuring my father with 1) King George V and his consort Queen Mary and with 2) the biggest bell, at 20 tons, that he cast for America. The former is 50" by 38". The latter, at 39" by 32", a birthday gift from Ingrid, is our most recent "unusual event." My stock excuse for such displays, though I don't see why I need one, is that I never met the father character. Actually, and reluctantly rousing my sleeping giant again, though these pictures were not even in my possession back in the revolushunary times, I existed in the same contradiction then as now, exalting a father while being extremely vocal, or silently undoubting, on behalf of a movement to end fathers' powers. A father however such as mine, of the mythic divine order, is a father to end all fathers. If women could install one of these, enshrine one, a totem, the way nuns do Jesus, the direction forward should be clear. As clear as mud, no doubt. And I wouldn't want to be misunderstood as meaning a second coming. Another Jesus would make Christians even crazier than two millenniums have made them. And fathers' powers would stay until the sun goes out, in five billion years they say. As between Hillary and Obama, if you're a white woman who went to a college like Wellesley and you're from the Midwest and you loved your Dad -- all attributes of Gloria -- you will vote for Hillary, no matter how nice you talk about equality and all. If you're a white woman like me who didn't go to one of the sisters and you're not sure where you're from and you never had a Dad -- all attributes of Obama -- you'll vote for him. I dream stuff like this up at home. Today it looks really nice out, and I plan to say hello to Spiro, who keeps asking Ingrid where I am, at Ready-to-Eat. Then get to the gym two blocks away where I like playing catch with myself, hurling one of those big heavy body balls in the arm machine room against a wall. In June we drove to a hockey rink in Long Island surrounded by bleachers seating I think 40,000. We sat way up high and close to the stadium entrance. Somewhere down in the "rink" sat my granddaughter Amanda, amongst 2000 or more other students in boards and gowns ready to become college graduates. I went to a Yankee game once, only once, and found myself rising suddenly, not by my own volition, but propelled by the masses, roaring over a home run or a brilliant catch. I had no fear then. But I missed the re-runs at home.

China Fiscal Crisis a Possibility
China's nation flag flies in front of the headquarters of the People's Bank of China, the central bank, in Beijing November 30, 2011.
China may need a back-up plan to stop economic growth being cut short by a surprise dip in demand at home and abroad that suggests monetary policy easing steps taken since the final quarter of last year are insufficient to deal with the downturn.
The People's Bank of China cut the amount of cash that banks must hold as reserves on Saturday, freeing an estimated 400 billion yuan ($63.5 billion) for lending to add to the roughly 800 billion injected in two previous 50 bps cuts since the government tilted its policy stance towards growth in October.
The move came after data on Friday showed the economy weakening, not recovering, from its slowest quarter of growth in three years. Industrial production growth slowed sharply in April and fixed asset investment - a key growth driver - hit its lowest level in nearly a decade, confounding economists expecting signs of a rebound in Q2 data.
"There are risks that policy loosening may under-deliver. If fiscal spending doesn't speed up quickly, GDP growth faces the risk of going below 8 percent in Q2," Zhiwei Zhang, chief China economist at Nomura in Hong Kong, told Reuters.
"The critical factor to watch now is fiscal policy. We expect more policy measures on this front will be announced in coming weeks. Premier Wen said on April 13 that "we need to prepare back-up plans in case growth weakens further". Now that growth has indeed weakened more, it is time for the back-up plans to be rolled out," Zhang said.
April 13 was when China revealed its weakest three months of growth on an annual basis in nearly three years, at 8.1 percent.
Back then many economists, including Zhang, thought that would mark the bottom of China's current downswing - especially as new bank lending data for March published the day before had topped 1 trillion yuan in the strongest showing in a year - and triggered widespread raising of bearish 2012 growth forecasts.
Last week's data, by contrast, saw economists at UBS and Bank of America/Merrill Lynch slash their growth estimates within hours of the numbers being published and call for policy action to achieve growth of around 8 percent, widely regarded as government's aim, rather than the 7.5 percent official target.
Faster, fatter spending on infrastructure and social housing, more tax breaks for business and incentives to boost consumer spending are among the typical additional measures called for.
That would be on top of the measures already anticipated - including another 100 bps of required reserve ratio cuts for banks in the second half of the year - to keep growth on track.
"We were wrong and we revise down growth forecasts," was the straight-to-the-point heading in the message line of an email sent to clients by Ting Lu, China economist at Bank of America/Merrill Lynch in Hong Kong after Friday's torrent of data drowned his call of a Q2 GDP bounce to 8.5 percent.
He now expects growth of 7.6 percent in Q2 and 8 percent for the year versus 8.6 percent previously. The consensus forecast for 2012 growth in the benchmark Reuters poll before Friday's data was 8.4 percent.
Lu is struggling to understand why the April data was so far away from market expectations and thinks a new reporting system requiring China's 700,000 biggest manufacturers, representing 90 percent of the total value added in the factory sector, to submit numbers directly the National Bureau of Statistics in Beijing - rather than local offices - might be the root cause.
Whatever is behind the drop-off, the new consensus view is that Beijing will have to raise its game to stop the rot.
Especially as trade data earlier in the week saw an annual rate of export growth around half the level expected and growth in imports grinding to a halt on a nominal basis in April, underlining China's vulnerability to weakness in global demand for goods produced in the country's vast factory sector.
"The April data reconfirmed our view that the first quarter was not the bottom. If anything, the trend seems to be slightly worse than what we had priced into our call for 7.8 percent year-on-year real GDP growth in Q2," Yao Wei, China economist at Societe Generale in Hong Kong told Reuters.
Yao expects action on three fronts - accelerating infrastructure investment, easing property tightening policies and rolling out a package of tariff cuts and consumption incentives.

San Clemente to reconsider liaison to downtown business group
In the aftermath of a City Council vote to name a harsh critic of the Downtown Business Association as City Hall's liaison to the organization, San Clemente's elected leaders have decided to reconsider the appointment.
On Tuesday night, Councilman Tim Brown asked his colleagues to add a topic to their next meeting agenda – the question of whether to abolish the position of City Council liaison to the DBA.
The council could reaffirm George Gregory's appointment or eliminate the position and ask city planning staff – which already attends DBA meetings – to assume the role of liaison, Brown suggested.
Council members agreed without further comment to put the matter on an agenda.
Brown said that meeting also will give Gregory a chance to clarify remarks he made before his June 24 appointment. For example, he called the DBA "needy and greedy" and said he wanted only a one-year term as liaison because "I don't know if I can stomach them more than that."
The council voted 3-2 to pick Gregory, a building contractor, as the DBA liaison over John Tengdin, an engineering consultant who has held the position in recent years and had DBA President Michael Kaupp's support.
Brown, Mayor Bob Baker and Councilman Chris Hamm voted for Gregory. Council members Lori Donchak and Jim Evert supported Tengdin.
But on Tuesday, Brown questioned the liaison position, saying it has been difficult to attract applicants and that he feels communication has been ineffective. Comments made June 24 "only worsened the relationship," Brown said.
Kaupp issued a statement in response to Tuesday's council action, saying it appears the council realizes a misstep that has generated "outrage throughout the community."
"The question now is how to repair what some people are calling irreparable damage," Kaupp wrote. "Certainly the council can select an alternate council representative as a conduit between the city and the DBA.
