In the alphabetical world of grape varietals, there just happen to be one white and one red to represent the letter 'X.' Who knew? Both are well-established, very regional varietals. Xarel-lo is a white grape from Spain, and Xynomavro is a red grape grown in Greece.
As Champagne is to France, Cava is to Spain. More specifically, to the Penedes region of Spain. Like champagne, cava comes with varying degrees of sweet to dry, and can be either vintage or non-vintage. Just as champagne is legally regulated to production from a select list of grapes, so is cava. One of those main grapes is Xarel-lo (along with Parellada, Macabeo, Chardonnay, and Subirat), whose role in the cava blend is bring a round body, firm acidity, and complexity.
Xarel-lo is also made into a fine still wine, known for it's balanced sugars and acids, and has shown to have a high degree of the antioxidant resveratrol. It has light colored, yet thick skin. In some parts of Spain, it is spelled without the hyphen - Xarello. Penedes is located on the North-East coast of Spain in the Catalonian region, and it is no surprise that wine made from Xarel-lo, in both it's still and sparkling versions, is a great companion to seafood dishes.
Along a different portion of the Mediterranean Sea is Greece, home to a red grape known as Xynomavro. Xynomavro is one of Greece's two most important red varietals, the other being Agiorgitiko. While not well-known in the United States, wines from Greece are currently getting more attention than before. One of the better known reds is a wine called Naoussa, made from the Xynomavro grape. Another popular Greek wine is Goumenissa, in which Xynomavro is blended with Negoska grapes.
The name Xynomavro breaks down as Xyno, meaning acid, and Mavro, meaning black. It is grown in the Macedonia region of Greece, as well as in the foothills of Mount Olympus, in the Rapsani wine region, in Thessaly. It produces a wine that is often deep red in color, but not necessarily as dense on the palate. It is typically a late ripening grape, yet retains high amounts of acidity and tannin, making an age-worthy wine. Tasting notes for wines made from Xynomavro often recount a tomato-y flavor on the palate, as well as red fruits and spice.
Next time you are searching for a wine to impress your guests with your knowledge of obscure wine grapes, X marks the spot!

Learning More About Drum Corps
By drapeau on Aug 13, 2005
Okay, I can't help myself. The DCI (Drum Corps International) Finals competition begins in just under two hours and I gotta talk to somebody about it, so I'm telling you.
First, the CBS Evening News did a story on the drum corps activity: follow the link then scroll down to the sixth video story on the left side of the page; the video is entitled "Super Bowl of Marching Band" (yes, that's cheesy). It's a fairly short piece, but should give you a little taste of the physical demands made of the people who participate.
Next, some videos taken by the drum corps from Concord, CA. Here's a page of videos; the one to watch is called "SCV Drumline Warm-ups". The Santa Clara Vanguard's percussion section was best in the nation last year; here's an idea of how they play in the parking lot before they go on the field for competition. Note: you'll need a Quicktime viewer to watch these videos.
Finally, if you're crazy enough to pay to watch this season's performances before they've available on DVD later this year, go to the DCI Season Pass web site to listen to the audio of your favorite corps. The Cavaliers are worth a listen, as are the Madison Scouts and Blue Devils. I'd love to say that the Vanguard is a top pick, but unfortunately I can't say that this year. Well, better luck next year.
By the way, on September 6, ESPN 2 ("The Deuce") will be showing highlights of tonight's competition. The broadcast will be two hours long and will likely show excerpts of most of the top twelve corps and the complete shows of the top few. Usually PBS does this broadcast, but DCI is improving its marketing partnerships and getting better coverage and spread. This is a good thing.

Reviews for Sky-High Biscuits
"Thanks for sharing your recipe. When I saw the magic words "4-H", we just had to try them. My daughter won reserve champion at the county fair when she made them several years ago. Now, a few years later, my son just won champion at the county fair and so we are off to the Indiana State Fair. :)"
"My 5th grade daughter and I used your recipe for her 4-H biscuit contest and she won 1st place. I am so thrilled! Thank you for sharing your recipe! She get to go to county with it now!"
"My son just made this recipe for our county fair and won reserve champion. He made it several times with just all purpose flour and with the wheat flour and each time the biscuits came out perfect. This is a fool proof recipe!!"
"Flaky and delicious! I love that the ingredients are always on hand-"
"Wow, very good!"


text: That — and a medicine-cabinet-raiding house breaker — is what it took to tip off the residents of a Washington, D.C. suburb that a group home for "four men" was actually a religous retreat for many more, or so reports Annie Gowen in The Washington Post. Gowen's account of the neighbors' angry reaction is the latest in a string of investigations of a religious organization that denies it is religious and denies it is an organization. They call themselves "The Family," but told Gowen to call them "The Fellowship," if anything at all. She called them suspicious and dug into the story. Since The Revealer's revealer wrote about this group in the March issue of Harper's, we hear that they're not much more than a feel-good endeavor; but with members such as John Ashcroft, this gang — said to be spread throughout the country, like a Protestant Opus Dei — could bear some more scrutiny.

National Media Campaign to Prevent Underage Drinking
On May 11, 2001, Senators Harry Reid (D-NV) and John Warner (R-VA) introduced S. 866, companion legislation to H.R. 1509, a bill to establish a "National Media Campaign to Prevent Underage Drinking."
Original co-sponsors of S. 866 include: Senators Patty Murray (D-WA) and Kay Bailey Hutchison (R-TX).
S. 866 has the same support as H.R. 1509: the Center for Science in the Public Interest, American Medical Association (AMA), Advertising Council, Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD), National Partnership for a Drug-Free America, Consumer Federation of America, Latino Council on Alcohol & Tobacco, Trauma Foundation, and the American Academy of Pediatrics. Many local and statewide groups also support this bill.
During the Memorial Day recess (May 25th to June 4th), senators will be home for the holidays and will be holding town meetings and community forums during that time. We encourage you to attend some of those meetings and ask about this bill, or if possible, set up a personal meeting with your senator to discuss the need for this national media campaign.
Conclude the meeting with your Senator:
S. 866 will develop and implement a national media campaign for the purpose of reducing and preventing underage drinking in the U.S., the most serious drug problem for young people today. Will you support that effort and sign on as a co-sponsor?
Additionally, please write your Senators to make the above points. The address for your senators is:
U.S. Senate

Posted on January 3, 2012 under Fine Art, Natures Detail, Photography
Well firstly let me start off by wishing you all a very happy New Year. I have big plans for this year and am looking forward to getting started. Indeed after the clue I presented in last weeks post on My Top 10 Favourite Images from 2011 I am adding yet another clue today on at least one of those plans 😉
One of the images that made it into my Top 10 for last year was a piece entitled A Line of Crocuses which I originally shared with you in March. I just realised that while I did publish an alternate composition to my Galleries I never discussed it on my blog. So I am correcting that today, with the very first post of 2012.
What strikes me when looking at both of these images of the same subject, in this case a line of 3 tiny little purple crocuses is how simple changes in composition can alter a scene dramatically. In this landscape orientated image for instance that sunlight plays a much more important role vs the portrait image which is a much more intimate piece focusing solely on the flowers. Technically the images are identical in terms of camera settings sharing the same focal length, aperture and shutter speed. The only thing that changed between these two images, that were taken less than a minute and a half apart was how I positioned myself in the context of the subject.

Visual Website Optimizer integration
Visual Website Optimizer Integration
The ClickTale integration with Visual Website Optimizer (VWO) enables e-businesses to collect and analyze accurate, visual data when conducting A/B or MVT testing. The integration ensures that when using VWO testing, the ClickTale playback of the recorded pages always show the correct version of the page that the visitor experienced. You can also search for recordings of visitors
Note: You need an active VWO account to implement this integration.
How the integration works
No changes are required to the ClickTale tracking code. Once you have ClickTale running on your pages, you can now enable VWO to notify ClickTale which experiments and variations your visitors are using. To integrate ClickTale with VWO, you need to enable the ClickTale integration from within the VWO Settings, either when the test is being created (on the last step of test creation), or from the Reports page. You can also enable the ClickTale integration for your complete account from the Account settings page.
ClickTale integration option on Visual Website Optimizer reports page:
ClickTale integration option in Visual Website Optimizer test creation page:
ClickTale integration option in Visual Website Optimizer accounts page:
You can segment the recordings in ClickTale using the event segmentation available on the ClickTale Search Recordings page. The event looks as follows: VWO1: VariationName VWO1 is the testid of the test running on the page. So VWO1 would mean test id 1 running. VariationName is the name of the variation shown to the visitor.
Key advantages
- Ensures that the version of HTML seen by the visitor is replicated in the playback recording session, both for A/B testing and for MVT
- Displays VWO campaign and experience data during playback
- Enables you to search for recordings of visitors that experienced specific versions of the page in order to understand how those changes impact on their in-page behavior.
Please note, that this integration does not currently support the ability to segment heatmaps by the variant name.

4J Studios is currently working on Title Update 14 for Minecraft which will introduce Adventure Mode to the console versions of the popular block building title. While news regarding the progress of the next update has gone silent recently, the developer broke that silence on Feb 17 to inform fans that they will be releasing new screenshots later this week to show off the new features which will be added in Title Update 14.
TU14 is going fine! We'll post shots later this week of the revised Creative interface, and the new Trading and Anvil interfaces.
In addition to new in-game interfaces and Adventure Mode, which brings an all-new way to play the game, Title Update 14 will also include a number of various other upgrades which 4J Studios has yet to reveal
Minecraft is currently available on Xbox 360 via Xbox Live Arcade and the Playstation 3 through the PS Store. A physical retail disc release of the Xbox 360 edition of the game is also now on store shelves. Versions of the hit title are also currently in development for the Xbox One, PS4, and PS Vita. Furthermore, as releasing Minecraft on more consoles and working on a new title update weren't enough, 4J Studios has also announced that they are now creating Skin Pack 1 for Minecraft: PS3 Edition which will feature popular characters from Sony exclusive games.

Once again, the city of Garland imposed water restrictions on the residents of the community. Phase 3 allows lawns a weekly sprinkle, Saturday's only and between the twilight and overnight hours, with the residents only required to comply with the watering restriction. Several of our observing friends inform us that the city itself somehow has no limitations on the watering restriction while its companion in noncompliance, Garland Independent School District, opens its free-for-all on the city's water supply. As of June 19, Garland rainfall totals 3.18 inches, a noticeable increase over the last three years. Our two primary culprits draining the basins still continue to water the lawns on the evenings after and even during rainfalls. Enforcing the standards on one body and allowing an exemption on itself is not an acceptable practice of government. Garland - lead by example.
Enclosed are the enforcement criteria Garland uses in regulating water control.
General Utilities Provision Code: Sec. 51.95 Enforcement: Water use restrictions imposed in stage 2, 3 and 4 drought stages may be enforced as follows:
(1) Upon the first or a subsequent violation, a customer may be issued a citation, with minimum and maximum fines as established by ordinance.(2) Upon the second or a subsequent violation, the City may cut off water service to the customer. Services discontinued pursuant to this subsection will be restored only upon payment of a reconnection charge as set forth in section 50.30(D)(1)(b) of this Code.
If someone out there could make sense of this ordinance, we'll all be wet and wiser.
For the Garland gardener, protect the vital plant root system with mulch, mulch, and mulch. Layering several inches of soil with deciduous tree remains stabilizes evaporation and allows plant roots to draw from the available ground moisture. Potted plants, with their high surface areas, require even moreso, an healthy organic vapor barrier. Adding mulch before the crux of summer arrives, allows plants to adjust to the oncoming heat and reduce the need for tapping into Garland's fragile water supply.

Love at first sight!!! This is a Satin Faced Organza Gown in ivory with a lace illusion piece from White by Vera Wang. It is a timeless and classic silhouette that definitely will not disappoint. The illusion piece is removable to transform into a strapless gown after the ceremony. Hand-cut re-embroidered lace on the dress makes each dress a one-of-a-kind design. For extra volume, you can add a full slip.
- Alterations: I am 5'7" and had the dress hemmed so I could wear flats. I also had the lace trim on the neckline altered to stop just before it went under the arms, instead of have the trim continue around the the back zipper. For the bustle, I chose a French Bustle, but any good seamstress can change it to whatever you like.
- Preservation Method: This dress was just immaculately cleaned and just picked up on November 2, 2013. It being kept in a breathable muslin garment bag in a smoke-free household.

Miley Cyrus took a self-portrait for her fans from her hotel last week and when she posted the photo on Twitter, her fans noticed something strange. Fans think that Cyrus is being haunted by a ghost, MTV reported yesterday.
Miley Cyrus posted a selfie with her tongue sticking out to her fans on Twitter last week. Fans noticed odd balls of light surrounding the "Wrecking Ball" singer's head.
Most orbs in flash photography occur naturally due to backscatter from dust, debris, bugs, or moisture in the air. Still, some folks believe that spirits are following the singer.
Cyrus says she has encountered spirits before. She had multiple paranormal experiences in a London apartment that she lived in during her European tour in 2009. She claims that the place was extremely haunted and that she was terrified.
"I was touring in Europe and I needed a home base. I used to have an apartment in London, right across the street from Harrods. I used to have a place right there." Cyrus said in an interview with Elle Magazine.
Cyrus' apartment used to be a family-owned bakery. She believes the ghosts that linger in her former apartment are the family members that worked in the bakery.
"It was seriously so terrifying. It used to be an old bakery and they turned it into an apartment building, and I was having really crazy dreams and really scary things, and one night my little sister was standing in the shower and all of a sudden I hear her scream. I run in there and the water had somehow flipped to hot but it was still. It wasn't like the water had just changed, the knob had turned but she hadn't turned it and it was burning her. She was really red." Cyrus recalls of the odd occurrence.
Cyrus says that she was afraid from the encounters that she had. She also claims to have witnessed a ghost of a little boy when she was taking a shower.
"I thought I had seen a little boy sitting on the sink watching me take a shower so I felt really freaked out. I was sitting there the next night and maybe I'm crazy, but I could have sworn I could see this little boy sitting there on the sink, kicking his feet. It was really haunted and I had to move. That's not a lie." Cyrus said about her old apartment.

Liverpool's young players will don black armbands during the final of the NexLions Cup in Singapore on Sunday in memory of those who lost their lives in America's worst ever school massacre.
The Reds, who will feature US-born midfielder Marc Pelosi (pictured) in the starting line-up, wanted to express their sorrow to the people of Pelosi's home country.
The shooting, which occurred on Friday in Connecticut, claimed the lives of 28 people, including 20 young children, after the gunman, armed with two automatic pistols, burst into a kindergarten class and began firing indiscriminately.
Eighteen children were pronounced dead at the scene while a further two later died at hospital.
"I heard about it late on Friday night, after we got back to the hotel from the match," said Pelosi.
"I think I saw it come up on Twitter and then started hearing more and more about what had happened.
"I don't really know what to say - it's just so shocking. A kindergarten class as well - those kids were so young.
"We can't do much but hopefully by us wearing the black armbands, people back home will know that the Liverpool players are thinking about them."

This was my first time at Theatre Three, and we had a great time. I've never been to "theatre-in-the-round" before, and it was definitely a new experience. We were given amazing seats right on the floor, which also happens to be the stage in this theatre! It was fun that some of the cast members actually interacted with us a little during the production.
The show was definitely bizarre, but that was part of it's charm... All the lead characters were great. Specifically the guy who played Pippin, and the lady that was the narrator? Not sure her character had a name. They were both incredible with amazing voices. Can't wait to come back for another event at this location!!
_ Music and lyrics by Stephen Schwartz;
book by Roger O. Hirson and Bob Fosse
This landmark musical won the Theatre World award plus five Tony Awards and five Drama Desk Awards for its once-upon-a-time-style telling of Pippin, son of Charlemagne. Its coming-of-age story takes Pippin from being a naïve young prince to his kingship where he struggles to rule a kingdom without warfare. The memorable songs of the show have been recorded by scores of recording artists and its concepts and choreography made a Broadway legend of Bob Fosse.

Partner in Caring
At Banner Heart Hospital and Banner Baywood Medical Center, we pride ourselves on taking excellent care of our patients. Our goal is to make each patient's stay with us as pleasant as possible. With this in mind, we've developed the Partner in Caring Program which encourages a family member or friend to provide additional support during a hospital stay.
What does a Partner in Caring do?
The Care Partner is involved in activities that support a patient's needs. Partner in Caring duties may include: , but are not limited to:
- Keep family members and friends informed of the patient's progress as desired
- Assist with the patient's menu selections
- Read and write letters
- Assist with personal care such as bathing, grooming and oral hygiene
- Provide comfort measures such as back rubs and foot rubs, and music or relaxation tapes
- Provide companionship and assist in maintaining therapy and safety
- Communicate patient needs and concerns with the physician and staff
- Ease transition from hospital to home
Care Partner roles will largely be determined by the patient's needs and physical condition. The Care Partner will work with the health care team and patient to personalize duties.
What are the benefits of Partner in Caring?
For the patient, your Care Partner can help enhance your recovery by performing some tasks you might have difficulty completing alone. A Care Partner serves as your advocate and works with you and your health care team to plan your treatment and recovery.
For the family member or friend, serving as a Care Partner is an opportunity to enhance the quality of care their loved ones receive. Providing direct support for a patient can be very rewarding and satisfying.
Serving as a Care Partner can be a significant responsibility, as well. To thank those who participate in the program, Care Partners receive a 20 percent discount in the cafeteria and a 10 percent discount in the gift shop by wearing their Partner in Caring badges. Each Care Partner will also receive a complementary gift bag.
Who can participate?
All Banner Heart Hospital patients can have a Partner in Caring. This person can be a family member or friend who can assist with certain tasks during a hospital stay.
How do I sign up or get more information?
If you are interested in having a Care Partner or are interested in becoming one, talk with any unit nurse to learn the specific responsibilities of a Care Partner.

901. HENRY HARRIS was indicted for stealing, on the 7th of March, 1 puse, value 1s.; 2 sovereigns; 1 crown; and 5 shillings; the goods and monies of Mark Cohen, from the person of Abigail Cohen.
ABIGAIL COHEN . I am the wife of Mark Cohen, and live in Great Prescott-street. He is a traveller—on the 7th of March, I and my little boy were going to the theatre—I had in my pocket two sovereigns, a crown, five shillings in silver, and an order for the theatre—they were in my purse—when I came to Leadenhall-street, I took an omnibus—I put my pocket between my petticoat and gown, on my right side—I am certain my pocket and money were safe—there were two persons in the omnibus, one on my side, and one on the opposite side—I did not know those persons—a gentleman sat on the opposite side, in the corner, reading a book, or paper, and next to me was a man, who, to the best of my belief at that time, was the prisoner—on going down Fleet-street, the omnibus man gathered many passengers—a person said to him, "Here is sixpence, let me out at Temple-bar;" and, at that moment, the person who sat next to me ran out of the omnibus—I had felt a pressure on my right side more than once—the man had spectacles on, but whether green or blue, I could not positively say—they were coloured spectacles—I called out, "Good God! stop that man; my pocket is cut!"—the omnibus man said, "You had better get out, and get a policeman"—I believed the man with spectacles was the prisoner—I thought him rather rude, but took no further notice—I got out of the omnibus, and went to my friends at the theatre, thinking the order would be presented—I told a policeman what had happened, and he fetched an officer, who took me to a house in Wych-street, where I saw the prisoner—I said I thought he was the man—on the Saturday following we had him before the magistrate—my child was then with me—he said, "Mamma, you have made a mistake; the man in the omnibus was not pock-marked," and I cannot say that is the man—on that statement of the child, I consider I may have made a mistake—I pointed him out to the police as the man, because he had spectacles on—I have since seen a man so much like him, that if the prisoner had not been in custody, I might as well have said he was the man—that man had spectacles on.
JOSEPH KIRKMAN . I am a policeman. I saw the prosecutrix at Covent-garden theatre—she told me she had been robbed by a little thin man, wearing spectacles—I took her to a house in Wych-street, and found the prisoner, and three others, drinking at the bar—he had spectacles on—directtly
we entered the house, he took them off, and put them up his sleeve—the prosecutrix said, he was the man.

Another piece of sh** for a father who killed a child because he believed "it" wasn't "his" (i.e. his personal chattel property).
Killer Daddy is identified as KENNETH MUDAU.
Father forces child to swallow glue
22 April 2013
A cloud of sadness is hanging around Dopeni village in the Nzhelele area, after a 35-year-old man, Kenneth Mudau allegedly forced his three-year-old daughter, Anza Mathada, to drink glue and die before committing suicide himself last Friday.
According to the police, the incidents follow a dispute with his wife over the child's paternity. It was during the heated argument that wife allegedly told Mudau that the child was not his. "It appears that Mudau, who was apparently incensed by his wife's revelations, could not contain his anger. He forced his daughter to drink glue and later committed suicide by hanging himself from a tree when he realised the child was dead," a police spokesperson said.
The police have stated that when the mother arrived at the house, she knocked on the door, but there was no response. She discovered the dead child lying in a bedroom. The mother of the child, Ms Ndidzulafhi Mathada said that the incident has really traumatised the whole family. "We were stunned by the tragic incident," she said. She added that the family could not afford to bury two people at the same time, because she doesn't work.
The spokesperson for the Siloam police, W/O Edward Tharaga, confirmed the incident. "We are continuing with investigations to try and found out what might have been the cause of the incident. We are appealing to members of the community to continue working with us in the fight against crime," said Tharaga.
The deputy chairperson of the South African Civic Organization (Sanco) in the village, Mr Mathew Masipala, said that the incident came as a shock to the entire community. "We are very concerned about the spate of killings in the area," he said. Masipala said that young people should always consult social workers, church organisations, Sanco and other structures when they have problems.
Vhakoma Vho-Livhuwani Mavhungu said that he was shocked by the incident. "This is very rare and strange in our community and we condemn it in the strongest terms. It happened in broad daylight and there were people out there who could have stopped the whole incident," he added. He said that this was the first cruel incident of its kind in Dopeni village. He added that the family should know that the community shared their grief. "We know it is painful to lose loved ones, but we would like the family to accept it as it is. This is not the time to point fingers, but for the family to be more united than ever. We will be with you and give you the necessary support wherever possible," he said.

I have a Rails 4 app having to do with graphs. These graphs need to be stored and I'm not sure of the best way to do it. Firstly, the app has a SQLite db in development and PostgreSQL in production. I would love to have graphs in JSON, but that can be achieved in several ways. Also, these graphs are going to be manipulated using some interface. I was thinking a graphical solution and a raw one in JSON.
I have some alternatives to implementation:
- Store the graph JSON files directly in the db. (how?)
- Store the graphs in db with tables (graph, edges, vertex) (probably not...)
- Store the graphs in db with tables and build a parser to manipulate the in JSON format.
What is your recommendations?

We don't succeed in life on merit alone—we need others to support and guide us along the way. In this respect, I was fortunate.
When I was five, my family emigrated from Sri Lanka, and I grew up in Lexington, Massachusetts. My dad worked in information technology while my mom pursued a banking career. After graduating from Lexington High School in 1993, I began the pre-med track at Boston University. But in my freshman year, the dot-com bubble burst, and the recession hit—and both my parents lost their jobs.
I was forced to decide whether to continue with college. It's hard to be sure of a career path at age 18, and I didn't want to waste money while I figured it out. Searching for adventure and a new career path, I moved to Austria and landed a job teaching English to businesspeople. There I was, living in a foreign country, learning to take care of myself. It forced me to grow up quickly.
I returned to the U.S. and began working at Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts in sales and marketing in late 2000. Eventually I was given the valuable opportunity to present healthcare plans to major corporate clients. Thanks to a director who saw potential in me, I was accepted into a management training program and was motivated to go back to school.
At Northeastern's University College, now the College of Professional Studies (CPS), the first person I met was a professor and academic adviser, Robert Heron, MEd'71, EdD'86. I wasn't sure that I'd be able to complete my bachelor's after having interrupted my educational journey, but I was determined. Due in large part to Dr. Heron's guidance and belief in me, I finished my bachelor's degree in finance and business administration while working full-time and later earned my executive MBA from Northeastern. Soon after completing my MBA, I moved to California to be with my future wife. I looked up to and trusted Dr. Heron, and we remained friends until his passing in 2010.
Today, I work at Kaiser Permanente in its IT Infrastructure Management Group, providing technology, systems architecture, and information security services across the healthcare organization's 38 hospitals and 618 medical offices, which serve over 9.3 million members.
Northeastern is part of our life, our story. It's ingrained in our DNA. Recently I made a gift in Dr. Heron's memory to the CPS Excellence Fund, which supports student scholarships. I wanted to help students who can benefit from the support, encouragement, and high standards of excellence that my own mentors expected of me.
Northeastern has made a difference in many lives, and the collective power of these personal stories is very real and extraordinary. I encourage alumni to reconnect with the university and find a way to "pay it forward," so other deserving students can benefit from the opportunities provided by a high-quality education.
Who Empowered You?
Behind every Northeastern graduate is a story of empowerment—often, a story about a formative personal or mentoring relationship. Please add your testimonial to the growing collection and share a favorite memory or anecdote about your empower source.
Jim and Amie Smith
Alumni Jim and Amie Smith share what he calls "our NU DNA." Eager to influence the future of their alma mater, they recently endowed a scholarship in Amie's major, journalism, and made a gift to the Dean's Innovation Fund at the library, where the couple first connected.
Bill Garvey
Bill Garvey remembers the "wake up call" of those first-quarter Cs, and a courseload so heavy that he "fell behind, overwhelmed." But through co-op, he laid the foundations of a successful career in the pharmaceutical industry.
Joe Fleming and Chris Ford
Joe Fleming, PAH'70, MS'71, and Chris Ford, DMSB'73, are delivering a healthy dose of mentorship through the Health Sciences Entrepreneurs program in the Bouvé College of Health Sciences.
Gerard LoPorto
"My first co-op advisor, Corinne Reppucci—she was Miss Cianci then—was instrumental in getting me a co-op I loved. That was the start of a wonderful career, one that gave me the 'global mindset' so essential for our students today."
Nohemi Moctezuma
"I'm the first college graduate in my family, thanks to the Northeastern supporters who funded my Torch Scholarship."
Carla Oblas
For Carla Oblas, director of Northeastern's Balfour Academy, helping young people in underserved schools has empowered students in their quest for a college education—and it has empowered her along the way.
Ron Caplan
"I worked in Northeastern's dining services as a part-time dishwasher and server, and was eventually invited to be a co-op assistant manager. It was the start of an incredible opportunity that far exceeded the typical college experience."
Adam Kneeland
"Northeastern has been a part of my life from the beginning. My father, William Kneeland Jr., DMSB'67, worked at the university for nearly 30 years, and to me, he is Northeastern."
Mary Florentine
S'73, MA'75, PhD'78
"I owe my career satisfaction to co-op and my adviser, Professor Nancy Caruso. As a Northeastern professor, I have hired many wonderful co-op students in the course of almost 25 years."
Greg Skloot
"Growing up, I launched businesses from my parents' basement. By the time I was a high school senior, I was running a thriving IT support company and building websites for dozens of customers."
"If you haven't heard of The Husky Ambassadors, you have definitely seen us—the tour guides who strut through campus with prospective students, parents shuffling behind."
Maureen Burke
"My degree provided a new level of professionalism, required for advancement in nursing. Northeastern's innovative Nursing Interim Program influenced my work as a caregiver, manager, and risk taker—and throughout my career, I encouraged creative thinking and educational opportunities for my staff."
Cory Bolotsky
"Professor Adomdza has empowered me to take full advantage of global experiential learning and has helped shape me into the person I am today: a budding entrepreneur prepared through coursework, research, and co-op for whatever opportunities come my way."
Dr. Andrew Schafer
"When I arrived at Northeastern I had very vague ideas about what I wanted to do. I knew I wanted to go into medicine but I had no idea where to go or who to go to about getting that kind of mentoring."
Cheryl McCormick
"At age 37, I was a stay-at-home mother of three young children and in the midst of a divorce. I knew I needed an education or I wouldn't be able to secure a job doing much of anything."
Montrice Scott
"Balancing work and school, and being on co-op, has taught me how to live life as an adult. Northeastern's career-oriented atmosphere changed me. It's made me more mature."
Kenneth Solano
"My father-in-law said if I was ever going to marry his daughter, I'd better go to college. Things worked out! Because of the people I met at Northeastern, I had a great career, and I and my late wife, Nancy—also an alum—were married for 37 years."
"I had been a senior vice president of human resources with a successful corporate career. The day my job was eliminated, in 2007, I looked at my husband and said, 'I'm going to start my own business and go back to school!'"
"I can still picture her: a petite college grad, not much older than I was—my co-op advisor's assistant. When I told her I wanted a co-op with a Big Eight accounting firm, she just laughed. 'With your grades?'"
"I was a Torch Scholar in this incredible program's second year. My mentor at Northeastern—James Stellar, then dean of the former College of Arts and Sciences—introduced me to research and took me under his wing."
"As a junior at the business school, I managed to slip into an oversubscribed class on real estate finance taught by Steve Kursh. There weren't enough chairs, so only the seniors were invited to enroll that semester. Somehow, I stayed."
Terrell Hunt
"It isn't often that you encounter a manager who is both brilliant and extraordinarily caring, but that's exactly what I got in Brenna McCarthy. I did a co-op at John Hancock Funds, where I assisted Brenna in marketing operations."
Jim Ballway
"I was discharged from the Army in '73, when the economy was faltering badly. I had no career direction. Joe Golemme convinced me to enroll at the Graduate School of Professional Accounting, which he both founded and directed."
Nicole Reppucci
"I have wanted to attend Northeastern ever since I watched my dad graduate in Matthews Arena, when I was ten. It was my dream to follow in his footsteps."
Dennis Picard
"After I received my engineering degree, I went on to University College and took a course in business law with Professor Victor Cohen. He was one of the toughest professors I ever had, but I must tell you, he would really put the law into you."
Iris Sherman
"As a 'double Husky,' I've had some great teacher-mentors whose knowledge and solid advice have propelled my career successes. Professor James Ramos is one, though we've only ever met online."

Wondering what the hell has been going on with this Mustache Fad?
The Mustache Fad has persisted for the past 3 years.
Many people are wondering WHY? When did bacon and mustaches become the new Chuck Norris?
I think the best part of the whole fad is that it was, initially, perpetuated by the "alternative" against-everything-mainstream " hipsters. Oddly enough they think the fad was stolen from them. That is not so.
Another theory is that the mustache fad was somehow connected to the testicular cancer awareness movement. That also is not so.
So where did the mustache fad come from? Take a guess… The media. The concept has been a publicity/merchandising scheme that started based on the 60's porn stash revival.
Many companies followed and added to the catalyst of this fad like Dos Equis and Heineken.
If you can't stop them join them was the philosophy- all the while consumers played into it. In all honesty I don't think its a big deal to play into a fad but I can't help but be tickled to death by it. The sight of so many people getting upset over the issue and claiming they aren't influenced by marketing and advertising all the while playing into one of the biggest fads of our generation.
So whats next? Well lets all go out and buy a mustache t-shirt for one. And just for kicks here is my own personal mustache pic for your viewing pleasure (Me and my girlfriend Nicole):
We did feel extremely cool and hip taking this photo. Anyone else have any stash pics they'd like to share?
Maybe we should make it a weekly contest. User submitted stash pictures- the best one of the week wins a razor.
Was this article useful? How about a "LIKE" then?

College Students
When a child prepares to head off the college, whether it's for the first time or for senior year, there are countless things to think about. Factors such as living situations, whether or not to let your child take the car, and health insurance may already be figured out, but are you certain your child and his or her belongings are protected?
When thinking about insurance for students, there are two main areas of focus: contents protection and auto insurance.
Check out our Infographic to find out what you need to do before your child heads off to college!Contents:
The average college student owns 6.9 tech devices and many use these devices for research and note-taking. If something happens to these devices, along with your child's clothes and other belongings, you want to make sure your insurance covers the replacement. Below are some considerations before you move your child in for the school year.
• If the student is living in a dorm, other on-campus housing or an off-campus apartment, contents are covered under the parents' State Auto homeowner insurance policy because the child's permanent residence is still considered the family address. Not all insurance companies handle off-campus housing the same, so check with your agent if you don't have a State Auto policy.
• Some insurance companies limit the amount of content coverage to 10% for students away at school. For example, if contents coverage on the homeowner's insurance is $80,000, then $8,000 worth of contents will be covered at school. However, State Auto does not impose that restriction. Your independent State Auto agent can give you more information about the coverage that State Auto offers.
• Consider scheduling high-priced items like laptops, iPads, expensive jewelry, etc. on the homeowner's policyAuto:For many freshmen, taking the car to school is not an option. However, many upperclassmen choose to bring the car for convenient transportation. Regardless of if the car is going to college or staying in the driveway, there are actions to take.
• Whether students take the car to college or not, it is still on the family car insurance if you, as parents, are still on the title. The student should remain as a listed driver on your policy even if he or she doesn't take the car to college
• If your child is not taking the car to school and the school is more than 100 miles away, you may be eligible for a reduced rate with the Distant Student Discount.
• If your child is taking the car to school, inform your agent about the new garaging location. This new location could affect your premium.
• If your child is taking the car to college, discourage him or her from letting others drive the car. If an accident happens and someone else is driving the car, you may still be held responsible.

Worth Watching: 24 Hawkeyes to Watch video with A. Gryshayev
Editor's note: 24 Hawkeyes to Watch is a feature released Monday, Aug. 6, highlighting one athlete from each of the 24 intercollegiate sports offered by the University of Iowa. More than 700 talented student-athletes are currently busy preparing for the 2012-13 athletics year at the UI. Hawkeyesports.com will introduce you to 24 Hawkeyes who, for one reason or another, are poised to play a prominent role in the intercollegiate athletics program at the UI in the coming year.
IOWA CITY, Iowa -- At 5-foot-7, 135 pounds, University of Iowa senior men's gymnast Anton Gryshayev lacks the body of a typical ring specialist. That hasn't stopped him from becoming the Hawkeyes' all-time top ring competitor.
"My physique isn't like other ring specialists," said Gryshayev, who was named to the Big Ten Watch List prior to the beginning of the season. "They're a lot bigger than I am. When I was in JOs (club gymnastics), people always told me I wasn't strong enough, you can't do this, and you can't do that. I wanted to prove everybody wrong. I started working harder and the rings turned out to be my best event."
UI head coach JD Reive says Gryshayev's strength allows him to perform on the rings, and his body type gives him a unique look.
"He is really strong, which is odd because he is not built like a ring guy," said Reive. "He is a skinny guy, but the fact that he has the muscle capacity to do the skills that he is doing gives him a unique line and look on the rings.
"He has a really good start value at 16.4 that is up there with the rest of the competitors in All-America status. I think his line can be a little crisper than some of the larger guys. That gives him that appearance that will get him some good scores."
Gryshayev has made a habit of posting "good scores" during his four-year career with the Hawkeyes. The Littleton, Colo., native owns the top five scores in school history on the rings, and he broke his own school record at the Metroplex Challenge on Jan. 26 in Fort Worth, Texas. He posted a score of 15.800, the highest of any of the events in the competition.
The performance is the beginning of what Gryshayev hopes will be an All-America season in his Iowa finale.
"His job is to rank himself in the top eight from the first meet all the way through the season," said Reive. "That sets him up politically and gives him the confidence and the judges to get him into the finals at the NCAA Championships."
Gryshayev got a taste of competing at the NCAAs as a sophomore and junior. In 2011, he finished 21st in the still rings with a 14.850. A year later, he posted a score of 14.550 to place 17th.
"I have to show up every day, all three days that we compete," said Gryshayev. "I have to do more numbers and get cleaner. If I can do those things, I think I can take it to the All-America level."
Gryshayev says the thought of getting to the finals is motivating him during his final go-round.
"Coming back, right when you're done with NCAAs, I want to go back to the gym and work harder, smarter, and faster so that I can get to that final," he said. "I want All-American, and that gives me drive. That's what I am taking away from both of those years."
Reive says it will be little details that make the biggest difference for Gryshayev to achieve his All-American quest.
"The next step for Anton is inside," said Reive. "It is for him to put 100 percent of his heart and mind into every turn he takes from now until the end of his career. The miniscule details we have to fix from taking him where he is to an All-American take so much concentration and energy that it has to be something that he is doing every single day, every single turn."
When Reive arrived in Iowa City two years ago, he saw a competitor with an unlimited potential, but it needed to be harnessed.
"He was a little timid, a little frayed, yet he had an incredible amount of talent," said Reive. "I saw an opportunity to harness a lot of potential that he didn't quite understand at that point."
Gryshayev grew up around gymnastics. His dad, Roman, was a seven-time national champion on the pommel horse in their native Ukraine, and his mother, Iryna, was a European champion on the trampoline. Still, Gryshayev didn't get involved in the sport until he was 10-years-old.
In 2000, the Gryshayev's moved to Colorado from Kiev, Ukraine, when Roman was hired to coach club gymnastics in Littleton. A year later, the entire family followed, and that's when Anton got his first exposure to gymnastics, tagging along to the gym with his father.
"It looked like a lot of fun, so I said I'd try it," he said. "That was my first time competing in gymnastics."
His first competition was memorable for being unmemorable.
"I was really nervous and wasn't really prepared because I didn't have that much practice," said Gryshayev. "They threw me in, and I did absolutely awful. I got last in everything. It was a bad feeling, but it was a good experience. I knew what I wanted to get done for the next year.
"It was competitive and nobody likes losing, so that's a drive to do better. It gave me more `umphf' to do better."
After winning numerous Colorado state titles and finishing third on the rings at the 2009 Junior Olympic Nationals, Gryshayev received recruiting interest from colleges across the country. Iowa was one of the first in the picture and was the most aggressive.
"At first I was like it is Iowa, and I wanted to blow it off," said Gryshayev. "Then I took a trip, and I thought it was the best place. The team was awesome and the atmosphere was sweet."
Through maturation, Gryshayev says he's more prepared mentally in both school and gymnastics.
"I am more relaxed and can control things more rather than being scattered everywhere," he said. "I have gotten better with time management and prioritizing what is important."
Gryshayev is on track to graduate in December 2013 with a degree in mechanical engineering, and he hopes to utilize his degree by building planes or high-end cars.
Until then, he's visioning a perfect routine that he hopes will take place in University Park, Pa., at the 2013 NCAA Championships.
"A perfect routine would be in the NCAA finals, being the last guy up and hitting my routine as perfectly as I can, sticking my dismount, raising both of my arms up and placing in the top three," he said.
It's a good vision for Gryshayev, all 5-foot-7, 135 pounds of him.

|With Megan Berry. Made what could have been a generic 14-er plod rather more interesting by coming down via the N ridge to Pt 13762 and from there NE then E to rejoin the Baldwin Gulch 4 WD road at the ford. One tricky part in a steep chute that cliffed out on the descent was surprisingly home to handy fixed rope. Thank you, someone!

|Saved Mt Antero for last because I heard it was boring as a 14er. Hiking the 4x4 road seeing gem mining operations and even the Discovery crew filming was interesting. Also nearby mountain slopes had cool earth reds and greens to look at. Kinda a long day with over 15miles, and 5,000' elevation gain from the Baldwin Gulch road. Started early at 5am to reach the summit at 10am, and back down in the heat at 1pm.

Until recently, prenuptial agreements were not accepted in British courts. However, as the following video from CNN shows, the United Kingdom high court made a key shift towards enforcing prenuptial agreements:
In Florida, prenuptial agreements that deal with alimony and the division of property are generally upheld. However, provisions regarding custody or time-sharing with children will not be enforced as the Court must make an independent determination based on the best interests of the children.
There are also other factors which may make a prenuptial agreement unenforceable. For example, if the prenuptial agreement was procured under fraud or duress, or if there was insufficient financial disclosure between the parties prior to signing the agreement, a Florida court is likely to dismiss the agreement.

Sister Megan Rice is a nun facing life in prison. Sister Megan Rice is an 83-year-old Catholic nun accused of breaking into the Oak Ridge nuclear facility in Tennessee. According to a report from Monday (Jan. 27), it took place during a protest where three Catholic peace activists broke into the primary U.S. storehouse for bomb-grade uranium. All three people are going to find out their fates on Tuesday (Jan. 28) when the judge comes back with his sentencing in the case.
Two Girls Missing After Sleepover
The government has accused the trio of sabotage for damage that they caused breaking into the facility and wants restitution in addition to the recommended prison sentences. The claim is that the damages reached about $53,000 after they cut through fences and painted slogans on the walls before splattering blood and damaging a wall with hammers. The government asked for about six to nine years for each of the three suspects in the case. The names of the other two accused of the crimes are Michael Walli and Greg Boertje-Obed.
The case is drawing a lot of attention due to the age of one of the protesters. Sister Megan Rice will turn 84 on Thursday (Jan. 28), leading to requests of leniency for what took place. Their defense attorney was quoted as stating, "These people have been committed peace and justice advocates for decades." Previous requests for leniency were declined, keeping the three in jail while the trial progressed. Now they are at the sentencing phase, despite many letters from supporters being presented to the court.

Everyday and everywhere women get harassed.
I would like to share three stories that happened to me on a daily basis:
1. I got out of the subway and went up the stairs that guide you to the street exit. While I was climbing up the stairs a 40′ year old man was going down, passed right next to me and touched slightly my buttock. I look behind to see his face and kept on going thinking to myself "it's not worth it to say anything right now…just keep going". A minute later, I felt a finger pressing between my legs and I saw him (so he came back, climbed up and touched me again!) I pushed him hard and screamed: "What the f**k man!" really angry! He looked at me and I saw a glimpse of a smile. At that moment I felt powerless and went away quickly.
2. I was walking down a street with a friend to school some years ago when I was still in high school. We saw a man walking in the opposite way, towards us. There was nothing suspicious about the guy until the exact moment when we crossed he came close to my ear and whispered "I would lick all of you baby, you're so fine". Again I felt powerless because I felt that I couldn't even reply and defend myself even in a verbal way because he could attack us or hurt us…it's frustrating
3. Me and two girlfriends were having a great picnic in a park next to the river. We were having such a great time eating our snacks and talking until we realised there was an old man sitting in the nearest park seat touching himself on his baggy shorts, clearly jerking off, looking our way! We decided to pack our stuff and go away. At that time I couldn't help myself and started screaming so that everyone in the park would look at him and see what was going on instead of just passing by without saying a word. I screamed "What the f**k are you doing! go home! that's disgusting! people look at this man, he is touching himself! don't you have a daughter, a grandchild? go home! you're disgusting!"
We live in a country where the freedom of speech is guaranteed but in the streets we don't feel that. We have to shut up, put our earplugs, walk quickly, look behind each street corner and don't reply on any comment.

In response to this growing interest, Bayer MaterialScience has developed impressive, fully integrated solutions based on plastic sheets made from the high-tech material Makrolon®, which it is presenting at the Estadio trade fair in Rio de Janeiro from October 6 to 8, 2010. This is also why the company is often asked to provide advice on stadium design in the run-up to major sporting events.
"Solid and multiwall sheets made from polycarbonate are incredibly strong but also elastic and can withstand high wind loads without the need for complex substructures. Safety is the deciding factor for us," explains Dr. Volker Benz, Global Project Manager for major projects in the polycarbonate sheets sector of Bayer MaterialScience. Having been used in a whole range of reference projects, the sheets have proved to be an ideal material for stadium building. "Weighing just a few kilograms per square meter, the material is also lightweight and ideal for fitting out stadiums and other sporting venues for the Soccer World Cup in 2014 and the 2016 Summer Olympics in Brazil," adds Dr. Benz.
Cutting-edge sporting venues for the 2012 European Soccer ChampionshipPreparations for building the stadiums for the upcoming 2012 UEFA Championships in Poland and Ukraine are already well under way. Indeed, Bayer MaterialScience has produced more than 45,000 square meters of the special stadium sheeting 3X25 ES from Makrolon® for Poland's PGE Arena Gdansk alone. The sheets are being used for both stand roofing and the outer shell of the stadium – something that has never been done before. But the diverse properties of this material have helped to realize another key feature of the stadium: each individual sheet has been colored to make the entire stadium glow amber. "As a result, the arena incorporates the hallmark of the region and is perfectly at home in its surroundings. After all, amber is also known as the 'gold of the Baltic Sea'," says Dr. Benz. To achieve this look, the Makrolon® was colored with six different shades, from white to dark amber. "We were able to implement the designers' creative idea using our compounding technology," adds the project manager. Building work on the arena is due to be completed by the middle of next year.
Another reference project is the Legia Warszawa arena in Warsaw, where some 7,600 square meters of roofing surface have been fitted with polycarbonate sheets. The special multiwall sheets used for this are up to 12 meters long and 1.2 meters wide – a special width designed to increase the load-bearing capacity, since strong winds and heavy snowfall are not uncommon in the region during the winter months. The polycarbonate used in this project is completely transparent and therefore allows sufficient light through for the grass to grow naturally and to create an open and pleasant atmosphere for fans.
But the polymer material is also regularly used in other parts of the world whenever designers want to create esthetic and yet functional sporting venues. The new Lia Manoliu national stadium that will host the 2012 Euro League final is currently being built in Bucharest, Romania. This project placed a particular emphasis on harmonizing functionality with design in order to meet all requirements to the full. Solid polycarbonate sheets were the material of choice as they are incredibly transparent and offer extensive design freedom when it comes to combining functionality with esthetics. The 8-millimeter-thick solid sheets are 12 meters long and are laid as a single span.
A soccer stadium that generates its own powerGerman Bundesliga soccer club SV Werder Bremen is also using polycarbonate sheets for energy-efficient stand roofing as part of renovation work on its stadium. Soon, transparent photovoltaic modules installed over an area of more than 3,000 square meters will be feeding power into the stadium's energy supply, thus saving some 100 Watts of electricity per square meter. The sandwich composite, developed jointly by Sunovation GmbH and Bayer MaterialScience, comprises floating silicon cells embedded between a Makrolon® solid sheet on one side and a Makrolon® triple-wall sheet on the other. The composite is shatterproof, flexible and boasts a long service life thanks especially to the load-bearing properties of the multi-wall sheet.
Thanks to the 2008 Summer Olympics in China, polycarbonate sheets are likely to be an integral component of spectacular structures for many years to come. For example, a good 23,000 square meters of polycarbonate sheets give the wing-like design of the Shenyang stadium a feel of elegance and lightness. Cold bending processes used on the sheets enabled the designers to tailor the shape of the stadium to its surroundings. And since the product had to satisfy strict requirements in terms of mechanical strength, Bayer MaterialScience developed a sheet that met all the specifications in full – Makrolon® multi UV 3X/25-25 ES. This sheet is just 25 millimeters thick, but can withstand a load in excess of five kilonewtons per square meter. Neither heavy snow nor strong winds present any problem for these strong multifunctional sheets.
