Viewpoint: Beyond the Terror War
Barry Zellen
Genocide has long been something of a taboo subject, marked by an indelible Manichean boundary that separates those who perpetrate it (the evil ones) from those who try to stop it (the forces of good in the world.) The terminology that infused genocide discussions in the 1990s as this darkest of human endeavors erupted across the fratricidal Balkan peninsula oddly resembles that applied to the terrorism discourse post 9/11: you're either with us, or with the terrorists.
Indeed, in the decade before mass terror ripped a hole in the fabric of our domestic tranquility, this was precisely how we described the Serbian ethnic cleansers who attacked unarmed Bosniak and Croat populations with such cruelty that it turned many a humanitarian from dove to a hawk, and created a new cottage industry of genocide experts that mirrored the proliferation of terrorism and homeland security experts after 9/11. That two traumatic political events a decade apart spawned the formation of parallel, passionate, and at times partisan academic and policy-analytical subfields eager not only to probe deeper truth but to induce bolder policy action would share the same "us vs. them" language is not surprising. Indeed, we can learn from the parallelism, and the persistence of historical myopia when assessing the paramount "evil" of any era, that is revealed time and again.
That our age is preoccupied with terrorism, perhaps the least menacing of all the threats that can harm a society, while a generation earlier the preoccupation was with genocide, one of the most menacing of threats that can harm a society, does not undermine the parallelism; indeed, terrorism and genocide are birds of a feather. Genocide may be viewed from a theoretical perspective as terrorism on a grander scale, where instead of selectively striking civilian targets with limited political violence, the perpetrator inflicts political violence on a mass scale, either to obliterate, decimate, or forcibly relocate an entire population.
Terrorism is the genocide of the weak, and not, as Mao had thought, the first step on the road to guerrilla warfare (which was itself only the second step on the road to conventional warfare.) Once a terrorist carves out a proper sanctuary, whether it was PLO-ruled Lebanon or Al Qaeda central in Taliban-ruled Afghanistan, the worry is not that the empowered terrorist will levy a guerrilla army and engage in a war of maneuver against a state opponent, but rather that he will instead migrate from localized forms of terror to mass terror, in the hopes of obliterating, decimating, or forcibly relocating his sacred enemy on a biblical scale of destruction. Genocide may thus be viewed either as a "weapon of mass migration" (WMM) as described by Kelly M. Greenhill in her forthcoming book on this topic, or as a "weapon of civil destruction" (WCD), the people's war counterpart to a "weapon of mass destruction" (WMD) unleashed by a nuclear, radiological, biological, chemical, or otherwise improvised countervalue weapons system.
Ironically, while opponents of genocide as well as proponents of bold American action to stop genocides from being perpetrated believe America should use its military power toward this end, American history is full of examples of American military power being used as WMMs, WCDs, and, at the end of World War II, WMDs, after which the bipolar international order was sustained by a balance of terror created by the mutual threat of massive WMD strikes upon the homelands and allied territories of the two superpowers, the well-named delicate "balance of terror" which promised not the threat of conventional war or even total war, but rather that of mass terror.
Continuity in the Age of Mass Terror
While 9/11 marked the official starting point of the Age of Mass Terror, the continuity of our time with prior eras and their recurrence of forced mass migration (the hallmark of America's own policies of ethnic cleansing that stripped America of indigenous sovereignty), wanton mass civil destruction (a hallmark of the total war era that was warmly embraced by the architects of America's civil war strategy), and ultimately mass destruction itself (as the civil populations of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, who were spared the agony of Curtis LeMay's saturation fire-bombing, would experience when incinerated in their fiery atomic sacrifice to the emergent world order) should not be overlooked. Terrorism, on a mass scale, is merely a weak power, or a non-state actor, joining this very lethal club that wages war against a people, one where America has earned premium status as an innovator in all known categories of mass mayhem.
A year ago, I read an intriguing article by Chase Madar in
The American Conservative
that bravely challenged one of President Obama's top genocide policy advisors, Samantha Power, for her historic myopia, appropriately titled "Care Tactics: Samantha Power and the weaponization of human rights." Madar illuminates a pattern of historical amnesia that riddles Power's Leviathan-like, and ultimately Pulitzer prize-winning, tome,
A 'Problem from Hell': America in the Age of Genocide.
Power later worked closely with then-Senator Obama on his second book, hoping to become his muse – and would masterfully ride last year's wave of Obama-mania to power (until stumbling in her public clash with Hillary Clinton near the end of Obama's 2008 presidential campaign), finding the perfect president to serve, one who wants to rid the world of nuclear weapons (but not the underlying evil itself, as our last president sought), and in so doing, ultimately restrain America from doing what it does best
– fighting blunt but effective total wars against truly nasty opponents – by emasculating the American nuclear arsenal, so much so that we may ultimately become vulnerable to external strategic attack and lack an assured means to prevail in a global conflict of the sort that we saw break out twice in the last century, and which seem to take place whenever a stable imperial order enters into an irrecoverable decline, as happened at the end of the era of British naval supremacy, which rapidly eroded on the eve of World War I, and which two millennia earlier left the world in chaos from Egypt to Afghanistan when Alexander's empire imploded, and a millennium after that, when Roman authority collapsed, resulting in another thousand years of political chaos.
America and the Age of Genocide: A Second Look
Power's many examples of historical neglect in
A Problem from Hell
troubled me when I read it, and the subsequent uncritical response to her work by media and pundits was even more confusing to watch after its surprise Pulitzer victory. After all, it was America that modernized genocide, made it national policy, and through its ruthless centuries of Indian removal, concentration, and annihilatory warfare policies, ethnically cleansed or exterminated millions of indigenous, and once proudly sovereign, peoples—violating Britain's sacred pledge to respect indigenous sovereignty west of the Appalachians made in its 1763 Proclamation, and unleashing domestic holy war against America's first peoples in what was at its core a naked land grab fueled by a lust for fertile farmlands or newly discovered mineral deposits. In a century of American genocide, an entire continent was effectively cleansed. And that was just the first act.
When America faced its own confederate revolt against federal power, Washington applied the same principles of genocidal destruction to break the will of its southern secessionists, and later unleashed Sherman's proven total war strategy on the remaining hostile tribes in the still unconquered West. And that was only the second act.
Once America was cleansed of its original inhabitants and it crossed the oceans as a Great Power with imperial aspirations, putting down revolts in various countries like the Philippines, and seizing others outright (like Hawaii), it applied the fully digested lessons of its own long Indian Wars: that its own superiority of arms, men, and wealth enabled it to use the specter of genocidal annihilation to deter potential foes, and to crush through annihilation those who would not be deterred by American power, a lesson that permeated its own unique methods of warfighting, as revealed in its lethally effective tactics in Japan and Germany which later Secretary of Defense McNamara freely admitted were war crimes—applying the full weight of state power onto the undefended civilian populace of its foes. And this was only the third act.
During the Cold War, the entire structure of international relations was predicated on the potential unleashing of national destruction of our opponent: a doctrine that boils down to America's continued willingness to inflict genocidal destruction upon its adversaries. Granted, it took two to tango, and America, like the Soviet Union and the lesser nuclear powers, turned to the bomb because of its unique efficiency in laying waste to an opponent's homeland. We were not alone in courting the Apocalypse to ensure the security of our republic. But that was only the fourth act.
Now that we're fighting terrorism, insurgents, and a host of stateless actors, we've refined our predisposition for truly democratic people's war of the sort Napoleon unleashed on European soil and which we imported a half century later in our quest to break the spirit of the Confederate rebellion, to the fractious, sub-state realm, and along the way we have unleashed genocidal forces (as we saw in Iraq), collateral perhaps but nonetheless consistent with our historical willingness to engage in annihilatory warfare to achieve our own millennial aims, no matter how high the price paid in human terms by our opponent.
And this was thus the fifth act.
From Melos to Myopia
Madar's critical response to Power's treatise on genocide importantly shed light on other chapters in America's historic foreign and military policy where America not only stood idly by but in fact armed, trained and unleashed genocidal forces in pursuit of its own interests, from Guatemala to Indonesia. But it is important to consider the deep domestic roots of America's complicity in the very invention of genocide, since war against a people is in fact the flip-side of total war, which since Napoleon has been understood to be a people's war, rooted in the mobilization of an entire nation for war.
To Mao, this became revolutionary war, and to the Jihadists, it's now become Holy War. But across time and space it has been popular war, and the passions unleashed when unlocking the populace are an order of magnitude more destructive than those unleashed by unlocking the passions of the demos in the inter-polis wars of Ancient Greece, where the atrocities at Melos continue to haunt the western conscience and whose connection to modern war and modern atrocity was eloquently argued by Lawrence Tritle in his 2000
From Melos to My Lai: War and Survival
Like Madar, when I read Power's passionate pleading that America's moral obligation is to never again sit on the sidelines and allow genocide to happen—I couldn't help but to wonder where she had drawn her lessons of history from, as she articulated an ideology that ignored America's own highly effective military traditions, its own rugged frontier experience, and its centuries-old approach to world conflict—the very sources of its economic and military power, and consequently the very foundation of world order, which, thanks to our values, is widely perceived to be a just order (albeit one contested by the Jihadists, who would structure a world order along more medieval principles.)
Genocide should not be overly politicized or de-contextualized from its historical roots. When Serbia sought to rebalance the ethnic composition of the remnants of Yugoslavia to create a more stable and governable Balkan state, it was doing only what Lincoln did a century before in a Balkanizing America, which likewise unraveled with unanticipated rapidity, denying the aspirations for independence of the reluctant but nonetheless constituent components of the greater state—and for which we celebrate Lincoln now as the greatest of American heroes—even though Lincoln's war was one of America's most savagely fought, and throughout the old Confederate states, he is still viewed more as a war criminal than hero. In the old Union states up north, Lincoln is so revered that he enjoys not only a mighty monument in the nation's capital, as well as a permanent spot on the ubiquitous $5 bill and even the still persistent penny, but even the apostle of hope that Power now serves, President Obama, selected honest Abe to be his role model, and the bar according to which Obama hopes history favorably compares his presidency.
When the Germans sought in the last century to become the pre-eminent world power, they were following in the footsteps of the British, and the emergent American superpower, and as horrific as their excesses were, they were not so different from the actions of a young and expanding America as it strived to become first a continental power, crushing hundreds of indigenous tribes for merely being there, later destroying the Confederacy's will to be self-governing, and as it reached across the seas to become a world power, imposing American sovereignty on a reluctant Hawaii, then grabbing Spain's colonial possessions to become a truly global power, waging effective wars of colonization and counterinsurgency across the seas ever since.
Looking back to the brushfires of the Balkan wars, I sometimes wonder if we had let the Serbs have their super-state, and tolerated the one-time exodus of its displaced peoples to enable their raw but certainly not abnormal (by any historical comparison) effort at state-formation, if perhaps the cause of peace and stability might have been better served – the departing Bosniaks and later Kosovars perhaps enriching their neighbors with their human capital much as Germany's refugees so enriched America (contributing to the brain power behind the Manhattan Project) and America in turn enriched Canada during its own Vietnam exodus – perhaps restoring balance to the troubled Balkan peninsula. And – importantly – perhaps Al Qaeda might have tasted its first defeat at the hands of an assertive, and unrestrained, state opponent, knocking Bin Laden's movement off its game at a critical moment in its development.
And then I wonder, if we had not pointed the finger and shouted "Genocide" on a crowded continent as communism collapsed and nationalism freely reasserted itself as we did first in Bosnia (where we in fact tolerated genocidal retribution by the triumphant Croats and Bosniaks in the end)
and later in Kosovo, a legitimate constituent component of a sovereign Serbia (even
Yugoslavia's collapse)—then perhaps the ambition of Al Qaeda might have been blunted, and the attacks of 9/11 never executed.
Then, we might not be bogged down as we are in Afghanistan or Iraq, unleashing nationalistic, and at time genocidal, fury along the way as we stumbled our way through a mess that began, indirectly, with our very first efforts in the 1990s to make genocide our foe, attacking a
, a symptom, and not an underlying cause, just as we again do in our war against terror – another tactic, another method, decoupled from its political causal roots, vilified as our enemy, much as President Obama now vilifies the very nuclear weapons with which we won the peace in 1945, yet which ensured a stable world order for a half century more.
Fighting Fire with Fire
But Power's selective historical memory, and her antiseptic approach to American military power, in precise, seemingly painless increments and not in its blunt and effective supremacy, remind me of the escalation and bargaining theorists of the Vietnam era—many who, like Power, resided along the Charles River while dreaming of the Potomac.
They sought to apply a similarly antiseptic approach to the very rough and tumble process of winning a war against a determined opponent mobilized for total war, a method that only brought America a humbling and unnecessary defeat, diplomatic betrayal of a wartime ally, and the collapse of order across Indochina – resulting in the annihilatory fury of the Khmer Rouge, not a genocide per se, but a brutal class war that resulted in both mass migration and mass civil destruction, the internment and exile of millions of Vietnamese next door, and a precipitous decline in American power around the world.
We must therefore remember it's not words that we are fighting. Not concepts. Nor tactics. It's not a war against
. Just as it wasn't a war against
it was a war against evil, one against tyranny and darkness. Just as it is today. And if lost, the results would be devastating.
But winning will require clarity of vision, a willingness to accept history for what it was, to remember why we built nuclear weapons in the first place, why we cleansed the America's of its first peoples, why we became a world power. It was to make sure that we would never again be in danger, our values never at risk of being overrun. It was, quite simply, so that cry of "never again" would have meaning, even if that meant a tough, at times dirty, and never easy fight.
And that requires knowing who we are, where we came from, and what we did to get here. Only in so doing will we maintain the will and the capacity to make sure we don't lose all that we have fought for.
Whether it's America in the "Age of Genocide" or America in the "Age of Mass Terror," it's still America in a world of chaos, aiming for order and balance, and fighting for what is right. And using all means in its possession to make sure darker forces don't rise up again on our watch.

|Cartilage structures of the sea lamprey, Petromyzon marimus, have previously been reported to stain by the Verhoeff method for elastin and to have a morphology similar to that of elastic cartilage of higher vertebrates. Earlier we showed that lamprin, the major matrix protein of lamprey annular cartilage, although not identical to elastin, cross-reacted with antibodies to elastin and shared significant sequence and structural similarities. Here we demonstrate that the majority of the skeletal cartilage of the lamprey is noncollagenous in character, remaining intact after treatment of the tissues with cyanogen bromide. However, unlike annular and neurocranial cartilages, which consist mainly of lamprin, evidence from amino acid compositions, immunohistochemistry, and western and northern blotting indicates that the major matrix protein of branchial and pericardial cartilage is not lamprin, but a second cyanogen bromide-insoluble protein or group of proteins with similarities to elastin. These results suggest that the skeletal cartilage of lower vertebrates consists of a family of noncollagenous, elastin-like proteins. The relationships among members of this family of cartilaginous proteins and between these proteins and vertebrate elastins, and the implications of these relationships for understanding the evolutionary lineage of elastin will await further characterization of these proteins.

COLLEGE --- 2009: Barringer started out her final cross country campaign in style as she set the course record at the CU's Buffalo Ranch Cross Country Course. She ran a time of 19:25 to surpass the previous record of 19:38, which had been held by the former Kara Grgas-Wheeler (now Kara Goucher). Barringer ran the course 57 second faster than the second-place finisher (CU freshman Allie McLaughlin). Two weeks later at the NCAA Pre-National Invitational, Barringer won easily as she crossed the finish in 19.50.9, almost 30 seconds ahead of Florida State's Susan Kuijken. The Big 12 individual title had eluded Barringer for the last three seasons (2005, 06 and 07) as she had been the runner-up three times, but this year it was finally Barringer's. She crossed the finish in 20:27.46 well ahead of her competition to win the title. The NCAA Mountain Region Championship was a similar situation as she had been the runner-up twice (2006, 07). Once again she didn't disappoint as Barringer captured the title (20:29.0), but more importantly for her, the Buffaloes qualified as a team for nationals by defeating Texas Tech 48-53. For her individual performance, Barringer was named the Mountain Region Athlete of the Year. The NCAA Championship did not go the way that Barringer and the rest of the running community planned. Barringer led for the first half of the race before stumbling and then falling to the ground. As much as she tried to battle, she was unable to run the race she was capable of and finished 163rd overall.
2008: Redshirt. Did not compete.
2007: Jenny Barringer's first meet of the season was pre-nationals. Barringer finished the 'new' 6k course at the LaVern Gibson Cross Country Course in 19:43.3, which was the first time she would finish under the sub 20:00 minute mark in her career. Barringer was the Buffaloes' top racer all season as her lowest finish was just second and she would finish under 20:00 in all four races of the 2007 season. Barringer recorded her third consecutive Big 12 Runner-up performance as she crossed the line in her fastest mark to date of 19:29.30. It was her third all-conference honor. Barringer was the runner-up at the NCAA regional for the second straight year, coming in at 19:43.9 and just about 45 second ahead of the third-place finisher for yet another all-region honor. Barringer ran to a runner-up finish at the NCAA Championship for the second time in as many years to earn her second All-American status in cross country. It was also the second time she was the top American in the race. Barringer was named a finalist for the Honda Sports Cross Country Award and was the USTFCCCA Women's Cross Country Athlete of the Year for the second straight season.
2006: Barringer led the Buffs during her sophomore campaign, starting with a first-place finish at the Rocky Mountain Shootout, defeating the runner-up by 28 seconds. Barringer's lowest finish of the season was at pre-nationals, where she led CU with a third-place finish. Her mark of 20:09.8 was the best of the season. Barringer took second in the next three races, all coming in behind Texas Tech's Sally Kipeygo. In doing so, she helped CU win another Big 12 and Mountain Region title and its second straight runner-up finish at nationals. Barringer became the second CU harrier in three years to finish as the NCAA runner-up, becoming the fourth highest finisher in Colorado history. Barringer was named a finalist for the Honda Sports Cross Country Award and was named the USTFCCCA All-Academic Women's Cross Country Athlete of the Year.
2005: Established herself as the Buff's No. 2 runner in the first three races of the season. Barringer finished second overall in her first race, the Rocky Mountain Shootout. She was named the Big 12 Conference Newcomer of the Year after her second second-place finish of the season at the conference championship and was also named to the All-Big 12 Team. Barringer ran a season-best at the Pre-Nationals race with a time of 20:33.6. In the race, she placed fifth-overall and was the second Buff to cross the finish. At the NCAA Championships, Barringer finished 43rd overall and was third for CU, just missing out on her first All-American honor.
HIGH SCHOOL: A four-time All-Seminole Athletic Conference, all-region and all-state runner, Barringer is a five-time 4A Florida State champion on the track and three-time champion in cross country. She was the 2003 and '04 Foot Locker South Regional Champion. Advancing to the Foot Locker National Championships both years, she finished third as a junior and 10th as a senior to earn All-American honors. The 2005 USA Cross Country Championships Junior Women's third-place finisher, she also raced in both the 2004 and '05 IAAF World Cross Country Championships. In the classroom she was a four-year member of the Principal's List, graduating with a 4.2 weighted GPA.
IN THE CLASSROOM: Barringer is a declared political science and economics major at CU. She is an eight-time member of the Big 12 Commissioner's Honor Roll as well as a member of the Academic All-Big 12 First Team. Barringer and owns a 3.672 GPA and has been named the USTFFCCCA Female Cross Country Academic Athlete of the Year twice (2006 and 2007) as well as a CoSIDA Academic All-American twice (2008 and 2009).
PERSONAL: Born Aug. 23, 1986 in Webster City, Iowa, Jennifer Mae Barringer is the middle child of Bruce and Janet Barringer of Stillwater, Okla. She has an older brother, John, and a younger sister, Emily. Her hobbies include playing piano and guitar and she serves as an interpreter as she is fluent in sign language. Barringer recently tutored at Boulder High School and volunteers at her local church Cornerstone.

NEW YORK (AP) — A person familiar with the process tells The Associated Press that seven bidders for the Los Angeles Dodgers, including Magic Johnson and Stan Kroenke, will interview with baseball's ownership committee in the next step toward selling the bankrupt team.
The person spoke Monday on condition of anonymity because the talks were to be confidential.
Major League Baseball is considering groups for approval before owner Frank McCourt selects the winner of the auction, which is likely to be for more than $1 billion. The sale is to be completed by the end of April.
Johnson's group includes former Atlanta Braves and Washington Nationals President Stan Kasten and Mark Walter, chief executive officer of Guggenheim Partners.
Other groups include Alan Casden, Steven Cohen, Leo Hindery, Jared Kushner and Stanley Gold.

Magnitude 6.6 earthquake strikes Hawaii
HONOLULU -- A strong earthquake shook Hawaii early Sunday, jolting residents out of bed and causing a landslide that blocked a major highway. Hundreds of hotel guests and hospital patients were evacuated, and aftershocks kept the state on edge.
Gov. Linda Lingle issued a disaster declaration for the entire state, saying there had been damage to buildings and roads. There were no reports of fatalities, but the state Civil Defense had several reports of minor injuries.
The quake hit at 7:07 a.m. local time, 10 miles north-northwest of Kailua Kona, a town on the west coast of Hawaii Island, also known as the Big Island, said Don Blakeman, a geophysicist at the National Earthquake Information Center, part of the U.S. Geological Survey.
Blakeman said there was no risk of a Pacific-wide tsunami, but there was a possibility of significant wave activity in Hawaii.
Son charged with killing parents, 3 sisters in Iowa
BONAPARTE, Iowa -- A 22-year-old man has been charged with murdering his parents and three teenage sisters at their home in southeastern Iowa, authorities said Sunday.
Shawn Bentler is accused of gunning down five family members and faces five counts of first-degree murder, the Van Buren County Sheriff's Office in Iowa said. He is being held on a $2.5 million bond at the Adams County jail in Quincy, Ill.
The victims were found early Saturday near Bonaparte, according to the sheriff's office. They were identified as Michael Bentler, 53; his wife, Sandra, 47; and their daughters Sheena, 17; Shelby, 15; and Shayne, 14. Autopsies were planned for Sunday.
Deaf advocate blasts arrests; protests continue
WASHINGTON -- The president of the National Association of the Deaf weighed in Sunday on what she called the "totally unnecessary" arrests Friday night of 133 protesters at Gallaudet University in a dispute with campus administrators, and urged the board of trustees to take command of a situation that "is out of control."
Bobbie Beth Scoggins, head of the advocacy group, arrived at the Washington campus Sunday afternoon to cheers from scores of students and alumni, who have taken shifts occupying tents around the campus's entrance for the past week.
In an e-mail sent to the campus Sunday, current Gallaudet President I. King Jordan defended the arrests and said they resulted from "a complete lack of good faith" on the part of the protesters.
Legendary club goes out with a bang
NEW YORK -- The birthplace of punk, CBGB, where bands such as the Ramones and Talking Heads got their start, threw its own headbanging funeral Sunday night.
With rock poet Patti Smith offering the expletive-laden eulogy to the grungy Bowery icon, mohawk-wearing mourners took one final twirl in the mosh pit.
"You know what's sad? Turning New York City into the suburbs," Smith said. "The whole thing's sad. This is just a symptom of the empty prosperity of our times."
Owner Hilly Kristal, 75, who named the place for country, bluegrass and blues music, said he was resigned to the fact it was closing time.
Kristal, who has cancer, had battled in court and in public to keep the doors open, but the landlord exercised his right not to renew the lease. He vowed to resurrect CBGB in Las Vegas next year, and plans to take most of the distressed decor with him. "We're taking everything," he said. "The urinals, the toilets even."

Gwyneth Paltrow Tells Friends To Boycott Vanity Fair: Report
Gwyneth Paltrow is allegedly feuding with Vanity Fair, and urging her fellow celebrity pals to boycott the 100-year-old magazine.
The New York Times printed a story on Sunday claiming some Hollywood stars and their publicists are upset that the magazine has toughened its coverage on Hollywood, citing recent pieces in the publication about the impact of Scientology on Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes' marriage and Brad Pitt's World War Z production disaster.
According to the paper, Vanity Fair was planning on publishing a similar type of story on Paltrow, which rankled the Oscar winner.
The actress is now reportedly refusing to deal with Vanity Fair, and has allegedly urged her star friends to do the same.
The Times claims that in May, Paltrow sent an email to her fellow celeb pals saying, "Vanity Fair is threatening to put me on the cover of their magazine. If you are asked for quotes or comments, please decline. Also, I recommend you all never do this magazine again."
Vanity Fair's editor Graydon Carter told the Times in a statement, "We wouldn't be doing our job if there wasn't a little bit of tension between Vanity Fair and its subjects. In any given week, I can expect to hear from a disgruntled subject in Hollywood, Washington, or on Wall Street. That's the nature of the beast."
Gossip Cop has reached out to a rep for Paltrow for comment on the story.
What do you think of Paltrow feuding with the mag?

When I decided to create the personalized subway art that I showed you in this post, the first thing I had to decide is what I was going to create it on. Originally, I thought that I would use wood, but while I was at JoAnn's one day I lucked onto a sale on painter's canvases.
I chose one that is 15″ x 30″. They had a larger one, but I knew that I was going to use my Silhouette Digital Cutter to create the words, and I wanted to stick with the existing size templates I had (which only go up to 12″), so I thought that the 15″ width would be perfect – allowing me 1 1/2″ margins on both sides.
To create Subway Art the way I did, you will need:
- Pre-stretched Painter's Canvas (available at most craft stores) or Wood cut to size
- Black Paint
- Fine-grit Sand Paper
- Adhesive Vinyl
- A Craft Cutting Machine (Silhouette or Cricut, etc.) – Or there are many vinyl shops out there that can cut custom words for you
- Ruler
- Pencil
Here's what I did:
1. I made a list of a bunch of places that have personal significance to us as a family.
2. I typed each place into my Silhouette software using the Arial Narrow font in Bold. Then I resized each word so that they were all 12″ long. NOTE: by making the words all 12″ long, some will be larger than others. This is normal and actually helps your sign look more authentic. ANOTHER NOTE: Because you can't be sure exactly how tall the words will end up being once they are all the same length, it is wise to cut out more places than you think you will need…I learned this the hard way.
3. Here I taped the words to the canvas (still wrapped in plastic) so that I could get a rough idea of the order I wanted them in. This is where I figured out that I needed more places…so I ended up cutting out 3 more.
4. Then I painted the canvas black and gave it a light sanding to give it a little character.
5. After I decided what order I wanted the places to go, I started by measuring down from the top of the canvas approximately 2 1/2″, and in from the sides 1 1/2″ and put light guide marks with my pencil. Then I adhered the vinyl lettering the way I normally do.
6. For the next place name, I measured down from the bottom of the previous name 1/2″ and in from the sides 1 1/2″ just as I did for the first and put guide marks. Then I adhered the vinyl lettering.
7. I followed this same procedure 12 more times until I had all the places adhered to the canvas. I found that the vinyl stuck very well to the painted canvas – I had been a little worried about that initially, but I was pleasantly surprised. (Because someone is bound to notice, if you look at the photo above where I had taped the words to get an idea of placement, you'll see that I misspelled Niagara…oops! Didn't even notice until I had put it on the canvas. But you'll be happy to know, that it only took a bit of elbow grease – and by that I mean fingernails – to pull the incorrect version off and replace it with the right one.)
8. Then I hung the canvas on the wall and admired it…just like I do everyday now when I come into my dining room!!
The whole process was actually quite easy…just a bit time consuming. But I love the result, and I'd do it again…in fact, maybe I will!

Dear mommy's friends:
We had a really busy weekend so mommy didn't have her usual daddy-watches-me-while-she tippity types time.
I was a stinker Sunday and Monday night, so when I napped on Monday and Tuesday, mommy napped too. I've been doing really well napping in my crib and Tuesday and Wednesday night I was much better over night. I can't help it if I like smiling at mommy and daddy at two in the morning!
Mommy is nursing me right now, so maybe she will have some time to write tonight, but I heard her talking about lifting weights… So who knows?
Either way I know I'll be seeing her throughout the night!! Muhahah! I know she can't resist my face 🙂
Time for me to go to bed… Well I might make it a nap (depends on my mood). All I know is mom is about to put me in this wooden thing that looks like prison. Don't worry, I'm not scared anymore.
Smile at you later,
X man!

I'm using WDS with a reference image and boot file from a Win 7 iso. I get it to successful install sans answer file however when it reboots and tries to set up services, devices, etc. it gives an error popup that claims I'll need to restart to resume.
How does one typically diagnose these errors when using WDS? This is my first time trying to use WDS in an enterprise environment and I'm not finding many troubleshooting options.
Should I just skip WDS and go straight to using MDT?

Citroën will introduce its new Technospace Concept at the next 2013 Geneva Motor Show (7-17 March), a prototype which is supposed to anticipate design and contents of the next C4 Picasso MPV. The Technospace Concept measures 4.43 meters in length (which wouldmake it 40 mm shorter than the outgoing C4 Picasso), 1.83 meters in width and 1.61 meters in height and offers a renewed design that affected especially the front end, with new and more slender headlights with LED technology.
The rear section received some upgrade too and is now a little wider, more 'squared off' and with the same 3D-effect LED tail-lights as seen on several other Citroen concepts. Moreover, the Technospace Concept also introduces a bold chrome element on the C-pillar, a classy touch that adds up to its personality.
Citroen didn't reveal anything in regard to what will be placed under the hood, but said that the Technospace Concept is based on the Efficient Modular Platform 2 (EMP2, that will be used for all the future compact and medium cars from Citroen, Opel/Vauxhall and Peugeot, who have signed an agreement for the joint use.) and will emit 98 grams of CO2 per kilometer, which would make us believe it will eventually come with a Hybrid4 powertrain.
The French carmaker did not release any picture of the passenger compartment, just saying that there will be a high-definition 12-inch touch-screen media system in there. Boot capacity is rated at 537 litres. The new C4 Picasso is expected to take on the C-segment by the end of the current year.

Computex Taipei 2013 - Following the trend of most memory companies; GeIL had some new Haswell ready memory kits that are due to hit soon. While information on the modules was a little scarce; we know that the new EVO POTENZA memory modules will offer speeds of up to 3000MHz DDR; a number that we're seeing a lot of companies offer.
Outside of 3000MHz DDR we'll see the company offer the modules in a number of other speeds but as we mentioned the exact numbers weren't on display at the moment. Looking above, though, you can see some of the color combinations the new kit.
As soon as the kits are available we'll be sure to get some samples and let you know how GeIL is going with Haswell memory in the coming weeks

|Scanning A Project
Visual Code Scan 6 was built to scan Visual Basic 6 projects for dead code, unused or undeclared variables, and functions with no return type or old style return declarations. It also extracts strings so they can be checked for spelling. All of the information can be viewed in reports or you can edit the code right in Visual Code Scan 6's own code editor.
A project can take anywhere from 2 minutes to an hour and a half or more to scan. On an AMD K6 II with 128 MB of RAM, a project with 25 project files and 10,000 lines of code will take a bout 4 minutes to scan. A project with 100 project files, and 30,000 lines of code will take about an hour and a half to scan.
|Edit The Code
Double-click on any routine name, variable, or constant to bring that code up in the code window. The code is colored just like the VB edititor with the addition that problem code is highlighted as well. From here you can edit the code and save your changes.
The code editor has the usual cut, copy, paste, and select all. It also comes with a Find utility, and Indent, Outdent, and Comment. The last three work with a block of selected text to either shift the block of code left or right, or comment out a block of code.
|Zip Up The Project
After you have opened and scanned a project you can chose to have Visual Code Scan 6 zip all project files before you begin to fix repairs. You also will have the option to zip up individual files prior to saving any changes you've made.
|Files and Routines
Project files are displayed in much the same way as they are in the Visual Basic Project Explorer. Each file has it's own list of statistics about the file including any DLLs, external objects, or references it relies on. When you click on a file a list of it's routines appears to the right. The routine's icon will indicate any problems the routine may have.
When you click on a routine name from the Routines list the three panes to the right of the Routine List will display information about that routine. The top pane displays any problems with the routine along with information about the routine. The middle pane lists any parameters passed into the routine. The bottom pane lists any routines called by the selected routine, and any routines it calls. You can double click on the routine, any of the parameters, Called by or It Calls routines to view that code in the code editor.
|Check Your Spelling
As the program parses the project files it also extracts every quoted string and every caption, text, and list property. It also goes inside FRX files to get ListBox and ComboBox Text assignments. All of this information is set in a ListView on the Spell Check tab.
From here you can review MsgBox calls and other string assignments for spelling errors. If you have Microsoft Word 97 or greater the program will use the Word 8 object library to run the Word spell checker on all of the strings. Any corrected text will appear in the far right column on the Spell Check tab and a check mark will appear next to that list item. Only those items with check marks will appear on the Spell Check report.
Visual Code Scan 6 gives you three reports. The reports are displayed in a window where they can be viewed, saved to disk, or printed.
The spelling report is available after you run the spell checker on the extracted strings. It will list only those items that have corrected text available. You will see the file, routine, and property or variable the text belongs to, along with the original text and the corrected text.
The code report lists all of the information available in the Code Review Window.
The statistics report lists all of the files and folders in the project, along with date, time and size of each file. It lists all of the dlls and objects, along with complete version and path information for each file. It lists the references made in the project.
For the code, the report lists the number of routines, lines of code, comment, and while space. It lists the longest, shortest, and average routine length. It also lists the number and types of variables, types, objects, and enums used.

Jane Campion knows what women want to watch, and Bright Star ($20) is no exception. The tale of the love story of poet John Keats and Fanny Brawne has a sweeping scope, but it's the details that make the movie shine. We'll warn you ahead of time: this isn't a movie to watch with menfolk, as they'd spend the whole time mock-swooning and gagging, but we guarantee a good time if girlfriends, alcohol, and carbohydrates are in the equation.

Zachary Thomas was born on March 30th at 10:50. I was a day short of 32 weeks, and he weighed 3 lbs 6 oz.
The story: My water broke when I was up to use the restroom at 7:30. DH and I jumped in the car and called the doctor. When we got in the car, I wasn't having contractions yet. By the time we got to the hospital, they were 6 minutes apart. We got to the hospital, and they had to clean a room for me. It seemed like it took FOREVER. My contractions were then 3 minutes apart. Oh yeah, and they brought a labor and delivery tour by me. Lovely! So they send me to a room in labor and delivery that wasn't an actual delivery room. The nurse checked me, and I was 5 cm. Then they decided I needed to go to a delivery room, and I decided it was time for the epidural. They told me the epidural would likely slow things down…. Nope! An hour later I was 8-9 cm. They called my doctor in, and when she arrived, it was time to push. That took about 10 minutes, and Zachary was here! I can't believe the whole process took less than 3 ½ hours.
While the labor was easy (well after the epidural it was easy), the placenta refused to budge. I ended up having to go to the OR for a D&C. I was awake for the whole thing, and it took over an hour. Not pleasant! I'm getting a blood transfusion today and hope that helps me feel stronger.
But on to what matters… Zachary is breathing on his own, and looks great. He was on the C-PAP for less than an hour after birth. He's a little jaundice, so they have him under the lights. I've gotten to hold him, and the nurses kept bragging about how awesome he is doing. I get to start Kangaroo Care tomorrow. Daddy changed a diaper yesterday too. We just need to get his weight up and get him eating on his own. They estimated at birth he'd be in the NICU for 4 weeks, but I'm sure they'll have a better idea once he's been here for some time.
I can't wait until he gets to come home!!!

Evoking references as diverse as John Hughes, Luis Buñuel, and Peter Greenaway, this titillating drama follows a beautiful couple and their transgender maid as they host an intimate party for an exclusive group of friends playing archetypal characters. Each guest has a moment in the spotlight. Set in a fabulous mansion with a score by French electronic band M38 pulsating throughout, the mood swings from pathos to humor, camp to confessional. Following its premiere in the Director's Fortnight at the 2013 Cannes Film Festival, You and the Night has intrigued audiences at festivals around the world.
"Indications suggest Gonzalez may be the next Pedro Almodóvar or François Ozon (a budding Greg Araki, at least), heralding the arrival of a new gay-cinema darling amid his cast of pretty young things." —Variety
Preceded by The Golden Calf and:
The Dark, Krystle
Directed by Michael Robinson
(2013; USA; 10 min.)
"Utilizing material from the long running soap opera Dynasty, the filmmaker filters the program's longstanding catfights between Krystle (Linda Evans) and Alexis (Joan Crawford) through their infinitely repeated gestures, ultimately creating the premise of being trapped in a place with no hope of escape. Robinson's ability to craft startling contemporary works from cast off remnants of relatively recent popular culture has cemented his status as one of the most important voices of 21st-century experimental cinema." —Film Journal International

I am just preparing to move our production system to a new Hardware.
If possible I would prefer to have the same users/userid's on the new Machine. There's also a MySQL Database which is needed on the new Machine.
I am considering to put the harddisk from the new machine into the old production system and then use a diskimager to clone the original harddisk.
Do you that is a good idea? What kind of diskimager would you recommend? And - since the new harddisk is larger then the old one - how can I use the additional space on the new harddisk?
Any other helpful tips how can I do the move without having to much efforts are very appreciated.

Fresh Smoked Meats & Hams
For a 40 year old tradition of quality smoke meats in Pennsylvania, Willie's Smoke House, LLC has exactly what you're looking for. Willie's was opened by William "Bill" McKee in 1972 about an hour North of Pittsburgh in Harrisville, Pennsylvania. He first began experimenting with a variety of woods to create the perfect smoked flavor and soon found that a blend of hard woods, primarily hickory, would give him the flavor he was seeking. Willie's offers a variety of specialty smoked meats including smoked turkey and smoked sausages at our Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania smokehouse.
Willie's methods of cooking the smoked turkey, smoked sausage and other smoked meats were handed down from generation to generation, along with the recipes he uses and quickly created a buzz with the locals. In 1982, Bill persuaded his son John to leave his trade as an engineer in Pittsburgh and join the family business. John then moved his family to Grove City, PA and after building a strong reputation of quality smoked meats and friendly service, Willie's Smoke House, LLC now ships its products to all 50 States and Canada!
Willie's Smoke House, LLC started out by offering just a few select items but over time has expanded to carrying:
- Smoked Turkey
- Smoked Sausages
- Smoked Kolbassi
- Smoked Beef Jerky
- Smoked Cheeses
- Smoked Bacon
- Smoked Salmon
- Smoked BBQ Baby Back Ribs
- and of course, Willie's Famous Old Fashion Smoked Bone-In Hams
John's son Jason has since left his job as an attorney in Pittsburgh, PA and along with his wife Erin has joined his family in continuing the traditions put forth by his grandfather. Today Willie's Smoke House, LLC is stronger than ever and continues to produce quality smoked hams, smoked turkey, smoked sausages and a variety of other smoked meats out of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

Hands-Free Cellphoning Without Bluetooth
This hands-free cellphone holder was designed by Francesca Lanzavecchia and doubles as an excuse to park in handicapped spots. It comes complete with a stretchable rubber skin that fits over it so you can store your phone and cigarettes in there when not in use. Seems pretty freaking impractical. Still, it reminds me of the first time I faked an injury to get some sympathy. You ever tried to cast your own penis before? It isn't easy. I ended up just tying an athletic sock around it and calling it a sling. And you know what? Not a single 'Get Well' card.
Hit the jump for the original model.
Cellphone neck braces aren't the best way to go hands-free [dvice]

Creative Process
The 2nd video of the series (streamed live on August 19th) involves exploring options for what a potential living logo could look like. Based on these initial rough sketches, I'm very excited to say we'll be working in partnership with Pitch Interactive to come up with data-driven visualizations as the main build of our logo system. More on that soon!
In addition, today on the Firefox Channel we released a small overview video of what we plan to achieve and how we're going about making the project open. Enjoy!

If a devout Catholic woman wants to marry a Baptist man, what what must be made to make the marriage valid to the Catholic Church if they have both gone though the Catholic wedding preparation but would like to be married in a non-catholic church? Would the Catholic Church consider such a marriage valid? I have heard that a special dispensation from the local bishop is necessary; How should that be acquired? If the marriage is valid, is it also allowed to baptize the children Catholic?

According to the 1983 Code of Canon Law, mixed marriages (where one party is non-Catholic) require permission from the "local ordinary" or bishop (Can. 1124). The children must be baptized and raised Catholic, and the non-Catholic has to be okay with this (Can. 1125). They must have a Catholic wedding and cannot "have another religious celebration of the same marriage to give or renew matrimonial consent before or after the" Catholic wedding (Can. 1127 §3).
If a mixed marriage of doubtful validity already exists, you need to talk to a Catholic priest about convalidation or radical sanation.
Canon law 1108 §1 clearly states that such marriages will not be valid.
Such dispensations are given only on certain conditions. Please see Geremia's answer for those conditions. Procedure to acquire such dispensation may differs for each diocese. You should contact your local parish priest. He will guide you on how to proceed.
Please note that such dispensations are given only for marriages done in the Catholic Church. There is no provision to grant such dispensation for a non-catholic marriages (i.e marriage done out side the church).
Baptizing an infant has nothing to do with its parents marital status. If the priest has a reasonable hope that the child will be brought up in a good Catholic environment, the child can be baptized even if its parents are not in good standing with the church.

HENDERSON, Ky. (AP) -- Police in western Kentucky are investigating the fatal shooting of a woman who worked as a counselor in a middle school.
Henderson police told The Gleaner that 39-year-old Michelle Lewis Cotter died early Tuesday after being shot inside the home she shared with her husband.
The Messenger-Inquirer reports she was employed in Daviess County as a guidance counselor at College View Middle School and also worked as a dance instructor for Henderson County Public Schools.
Henderson Police Sgt. John Nevels said her husband, Steven Cotter, who serves as a soccer coach for Henderson County Public Schools, was injured when police took him into custody. He said Steven Cotter has not been arrested.
Nevels said Michelle Cotter's death is being investigated as a possible homicide.

The olive khaki Hideo Wakamatsu Body III Pouch ($99) reminds us of a man so straightforwardly simple, he's super sexy. This strong Japanese canvas bag would look great with a full on military theme or with a dressed down LBD. It's nylon lined and waterproof - great for a spontaneous short hike or an afternoon to appease that shopping urge. Get it? It's versatile.

Oppo Find 7 will be announced on March 19, coded teaser reveals
Oppo has been teasing the Find 7 for months. And for months before that, this handset was rumored to be in the works. So, needless to say, it's been a really long time coming.
The wait could be over next month, though. The Chinese company posted three teaser images that together reveal the phone's launch date, place, and time. According to Oppo Insider, the pictures below tell us that the Oppo Find 7 will be announced in the "798" art district in Beijing at 7 o'clock (we assume pm) on March 19.
The Find 7 will come with a 5.5-inch 2,560×1,440 touchscreen, which will make it one of the first handsets to sport that insane resolution (following in the footsteps of the Vivo Xplay 3S and possibly even the Samsung Galaxy S5 that will get unveiled at the end of February).
Previously we thought Oppo would use MWC to introduce its latest flagship offering and the successor to the Find 5 from 2012, but it looks like that won't happen, for whatever reason.
Leaked specs so far have the Oppo Find 7 coming with a 2.3 GHz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 processor, a 13 MP rear camera, a 5 MP front camera, 3 GB of RAM, 16 GB of internal storage, microSD card support, and 4G LTE.

UCLA Baseball on Facebook | 2011 Media Guide
LOS ANGELES - Former UCLA baseball players Chase Utley and Ben Francisco will make their third consecutive appearance together in the postseason for the Philadelphia Phillies, and former Bruins' outfielder Ron Roenicke will lead the Milwaukee Brewers as their first-year manager into the MLB playoffs this weekend.
Utley and Francisco helped the Phillies capture their fifth consecutive National League East Division title in 2011. Roenicke guided the Brewers to their second-ever division championship, the franchise's first as a National League team, in his first season as a major league manager.
The Phillies and Brewers will each open a best-of-five National League Division Series at home on Saturday. The Phillies will face the St. Louis Cardinals, and the Brewers will host the Arizona Diamondbacks.
Utley finished the regular season batting .259 with 11 home runs and 44 RBI in 103 games after having missed nearly the first two months of the season recovering from an injury. Utley, who starred at UCLA from 1998-2000, is making his fifth appearance in the MLB playoffs. He has totaled 10 home runs and 24 RBI in 41 career postseason games.
Francisco batted .244 with six home runs and 34 RBI in 100 games for Philadelphia. A two-year letterwinner at UCLA (2001-02), Francisco is making his third trip to the postseason.
Under Roenicke's leadership, Milwaukee went 96-66 to win the National League Central Division. Milwaukee's 96 regular-season victories were the second most of any National League team, and were tied for the third-most wins of any major league ballclub.
Roenicke played in 52 games for UCLA in 1977, batting .284 with nine home runs and 40 RBI. He came to Westwood after spending the 1975 and 1976 seasons playing for Mt. San Antonio College. Roenicke his major league debut with the Los Angeles Dodgers in 1981 and played in 527 major league games during a career that continued until 1988.

Game Information
Game Notes
Complete Release in PDF Format
#16 UMass Heads To Towson For Saturday CAA Clash
• Saturday's game will be carried on the UMass Sports Network, airing on WRNX 100.9 FM in Western Mass. "Voice of the Minutemen" Josh Maurer will call the action with former All-American Norm Smith. Live streaming video, audio and stats links will be available on UMassAthletics.com.
• UMass and Towson played twice last season as the Minutemen joined the CAA. The Tigers captured both games with a 10-9 regular-season win at Garber Field on April 10 and a 13-6 decision in the CAA Semifinals on May 5 at Johnny Unitas Stadium.
In The Polls
• The following UMass opponents are ranked (USILA/IL): Hofstra (8th/7th), Army (13th/14th), Delaware (17th/16th), Penn State (19th/RV) with Ohio State, Harvard, Hartford and Albany receiving votes.
The Series With Towson
• Prior to last year, long-time top level programs UMass and Towson played just one previous game. The then-Redmen beat Towson State, 7-3, on March 28, 1963 as UMass played a three-game "Southern" trip in Baltimore led by Hall of Fame Coach Dick Garber.
• Last year, then-No. 16 UMass lost its first-ever CAA playoff game, as the Minutemen fell 13-6 at No. 20 Towson on May 5, 2011. Towson went on an 12-2 run from the mid-first quarter through midway through the fourth quarter, spanning about 46 minutes. Christian Pastirik and Matt Hughes each had a hat trick in the run. Carl Iacona and Will Harrington each scored a pair for the Tigers.UMass' goals came from Will Manny, Bobby Hayes, Ryan Liebel, Steve D'Amario, Greg Rushing and Colin Fleming. Rushing ended the bleeding of 7-0 run by the Tigers in the second half, as a scored with 5:10 left in regulation.
• The teams met in the regular-season on April 10, with the Tigers upsetting the then-No. 7 Minutemen, 10-9 on Senior Day at Garber Field. Towson's Carl Iacona scored the game-winning goal with 8:17 left in the fourth quarter while Will Harrington had three goals. For UMass, Anthony Biscardi tallied three goals and goalie Tim McCormack made a career-high 18 saves. That was just the second-ever meeting between the two storied programs. UMass won the first game of the series, the only meeting in Towson, on March 28, 1963, a 7-3 win as part of a Southern trip for Dick Garber's team.
Connections With Towson
• Seaman coached against UMass just once before last year and it came 24 years ago in the NCAA First Round. Seaman won his first NCAA Tournament game as a coach, while at Penn, beating UMass 11-10 on May 13, 1987.
• UMass has just one player from Maryland on its roster in junior starting defenseman Greg Anderson from Ijamsville. Anderson won the C.Markland Kelly Award as the top public school player in Maryland in 2008. The Tigers have two Mass players: freshman Zach Brown from Peabody and Governors Academy and senior Tim Flynn from Cotuit and Barnstable High School.
UMass Men & Women Ranked
• New to the list last week was Penn State, which is now No. 19 in the men's poll and No. 18 in the women's poll.
• Six of the top nine men's team are ranked in the women's poll. Scoring Streaks
• Sophomore Will Manny has scored in all 23 games of his career to mark the longest current streak on UMass. This season, Manny is second on the team in points with 27 on 12 goals and a team-best 15 assists. He ranks 16th in the NCAA in assists per game (1.67 per game).
• In addition to Manny, senior captain Ryan Hantverk has points in all nine games this season. He has 13 goals and five assists for 18 points, fourth on the team.

• Junior Anthony Biscardi has points in eight of nine games this year. He has multiple points in all eight games he has points this season. Biscardi is third on the team in points with 22 on 15 goals and seven assists. Tough Defense
• UMass has a stout 8.11 GAA in nine games this season, backstopped by junior captain Tim McCormack. The goalie has an 7.96 goals against average and a 55.9 save percentage. He posted a season-best 17 saves, second-most in a game in his career at Harvard (3/29).
• On the close defense, sophomore Jake Smith is 16th in the NCAA in caused turnovers per game with 1.9 (17 in nine games). He also has 14 groundballs.
• Fellow close defenders Tom Celentani and Greg Anderson each have 10 caused turnovers. Celentani has 18 groundballs while Anderson has 13.

That includes five seasons with 12 or more wins including a school record 13 wins in 2002, 2003, 2005 and 2006. The Minutemen were second on the list coming into the 2007 season.
• Virginia leads the way (130-41, 76.0) in most wins and highest percentage. No. 2 is Duke (128-49, 72.3), Syracuse third at (126-37, 77.3) with No. 4 Johns Hopkins (120-40, 75.0), No. 5 Maryland (118-50, 70.2), No. 6 Cornell (115-42, 73.2), No. 7 is Georgetown (107-45, 70.4) and UMass is tied with No. 8 Princeton (105-49, 68.1). UMass is ahead of Navy (103-56, 64.8) in terms of wins.
