Princeton Travels To Dartmouth As Ivy Stretch Drive Begins
Related Links
Actually, there are three threes for Princeton lacrosse right now. They are:
* Princeton has three losses on the season, to teams ranked third (Penn), fifth (North Carolina) and 11th (Syracuse, who has beaten No. 7 Cornell since the most recent rankings) in the official NCAA RPI this week. All three losses were by one goal. Princeton's RPI was 12th in the most recent rankings.
* Princeton has three games remaining in the regular season beginning with Saturday's game at Dartmouth. Princeton then hosts Harvard Friday evening, April 19, before playing Cornell in MetLife Stadium as part of the Konica Minolta Big City Classic on April 27.
* In the first Ivy League tournaments, no team with three or more wins has failed to make the field and no team with fewer than three wins has. Going back 25 years before that, only three times would a team with three league wins not have made a four-team tournament had there been one. Princeton is 2-1 in the league as it heads to Dartmouth.
* * *
Princeton and Dartmouth first met in 1953 and have met every year since, and the Tigers have won 42 of the first 50 meetings of the series.
Princeton defeated the Big Green 21-6 last year on Sherrerd Field at Class of 1952 Stadium, getting three goals from Jeff Froccaro, Luke Armour, Mike MacDonald and Tom Schreiber, who also had two assists. Princeton scored at least five goals in each quarter.
Froccaro had four goals against Dartmouth two years ago, in an 8-4 Princeton win at Gillette Stadium as part of the 2011 New England Lacrosse Classic. Schreiber had a goal and three assists in that game.
Froccaro also had a goal in the 16-2 win over Dartmouth in 2010, giving him eight in three games against the Big Green.
* * *
Princeton has not played in Hanover since the 2008 season, when Dartmouth defeated the Tigers 11-9 in the first of two late season losses that knocked Princeton out of an NCAA tournament bid.
The 2009 game was played in Princeton, as was the game a year later, when the league schedule shifted, moving Dartmouth from Princeton's fifth league game to its fourth.
* * *
Princeton head coach Chris Bates is a 1990 graduate of Dartmouth, where he was an attackman for the Big Green.
* * *
Fergus Campbell has been the starting goalie in each of the last four Princeton-Dartmouth games. This year's starting goalie for Dartmouth is Bernie Susskind, whose younger brother Max is a Princeton freshman.
* * *
Princeton is 2-1 in the Ivy League. Cornell is unbeaten at 4-0, while Penn, Yale, Harvard and Brown all have two losses. Dartmouth is 0-3 in the league.
Should Princeton defeat Dartmouth and Harvard in its next two games, then the winner of the Princeton-Cornell game would host the Ivy League tournament, regardless of the result of any other game.
* * *
Syracuse defeated Princeton and Cornell by identical 13-12 scores in a four-day stretch this week. Syracuse defeated Princeton last Saturday and then Cornell Wednesday.
* * *
Mike MacDonald has 48 career goals. With two more, he would become the first sophomore since Jack McBride in 2009 to reach the 50-goal mark for his career.
MacDonald's 48 goals have come in 26 career games. Should MacDonald get two goals against Dartmouth, he would be the fastest Princeton player to 50 goals in terms of games played since B.J. Prager did it in 23 games.
Prager played his 23rd game in his junior year, though, after missing seven games as a sophomore after tearing his ACL.
* * *
Princeton defeated Rutgers 13-8 Tuesday night behind three goals and an assist from Tom Schreiber, four points each from Mike MacDonald and Jeff Froccaro and three goals from Luke Armour.
Princeton played without injured freshman attackman Ryan Ambler, who had started the first nine games this season. Armour started in his place, marking the first time this year that Princeton did not use the same starting lineup.
Armour scored his three goals in the first 17 minutes of the game, matching the career high he set a year ago against Dartmouth. Armour had not played a minute this season due to injuries, and he missed most of last season with injuries as well.
* * *
Princeton played without injured midfielders Jack Strabo and Chris White against Rutgers.
Without those two, Princeton moved Bobby Lucas back from offensive midfield to defensive midfield and had Austin deButts get the first serious playing time of his career as a defensive middie as well. Hunter deButts moved from offensive to defensive middie a few weeks ago.
* * *
Princeton has been in double figures in every game this year. It is the second-longest such streak to start a year in program history.
The only other time Princeton started a season with more consecutive games scoring in double figures was in 1951, when Princeton did so in all 10 games.
The longest streak of consecutive games in double figures is 13, set over the final 13 games of the 1996 season.
* * *
Princeton is averaging 12.5 goals per game, good for eighth in Division I.
Should Princeton maintain that average for the rest of the year, it would be the most by a Princeton team for a full season since the 1998 team averaged 14.5.
* * *
No Princeton longstick has either a goal or assist this season.

Not a good dubbing needle
Reviewer: A viewer from VALPARAISO, IN USA
I misplaced my dubbing needle and could not find it. I did not remember where I got it so I bought this one as a replacement. Needle is too thick, too long, and not sharp enough to pick out dubbing. A better dubbing needle can be made with a hatpin and wrapping some duct tape around the head to make a handle. Handle is not large enough to use for any heavier tasks. You could use it for applying cement but the jar with needle applicator would be better. I also bought the JS Flyfishing version and it is similar, but half the price of this one. I give it a one star because it can be used for cleaning hook eyes.
I did some more searching and found that my original dubbing needle was made by Wasatch. More expensive, but very sharp with Rosewood handle for $10.25. I am happy again. Recommend JS Flyfishing look in to carrying the Wasatch line of fly tying tools. They are heirloom quality.

Service was pleasant.
However, room was hot with no aircon, and noisy with window open (main road).

I'm loath to write a negative review as I don't like complaining and I generally make the best out of a bad situation however I was disappointed with this room, and generally the stay at this hotel.
The room was extremely small and although the sheets were clean it could have done with a throrough clean and freshen up. The stay cost £165 per night and for the quality of the room I thought that was extortionate. The staff were friendly and helpful but in the bar there were plates stacked up on tables not cleared away and we had a meal in the restaurant and the glasses and plates from the first course were not cleared away so I just moved them into the windowsill. They also charged £5 for room service. I was pretty disappointed, won't be staying there again!

The Wall Street Journal claimed that Obama's statements to Bill O'Reilly about the impact of school vouchers were a fib, or border on not telling the truth. Well, you can't always believe what is in the Wall Street Journal. Who owns that paper now?
WSJ belongs to News Corp, and that is owned by Rupert Murdoch.
Here is what the WSJ headlined says.
"Obama's Education Fibs
School vouchers work, and the president knows it.
Sadly, people in the U.S. and abroad have become accustomed to the fact that President Obama stretches the truth with some regularity, whether the topic is his health-care law, the terror attacks in Benghazi or "red lines" in Syria. In his interview with Fox News's Bill O'Reilly on Sunday, the president offered up another whopper.
Asked by Mr. O'Reilly why he opposed school vouchers that "level the playing field" and "give poor people a chance to go to better schools," the president replied, "Actually, every study that's been done on school vouchers, Bill, says that it has very limited impact if any.""
Check some facts. The bottom line is there is no achievement advantage for voucher students. Who's fibbing?
Here are a whole bunch, and you can read it all at the link.
"The Impact of School Vouchers on Student Achievement:
A Research Update*
In 1998 and 1999, Keystone Research Center released two reports surveying research on the track record of school vouchers with respect to student achievement. The research available at that time on the impact of voucher programs came primarily from Milwaukee and Cleveland. This research found no strong evidence that vouchers improve student achievement.
Since the late 1990s, there has been surprisingly little additional research on the educational
impact of vouchers. One reason for this is that advocates for vouchers have sometimes opposed the collection of data and commissioning of independent evaluations. The rest of this Appendix briefly summarizes the findings of research on the achievement impact of vouchers and of private schools more broadly.
Milwaukee Voucher Program
As noted in KRC's 1998 report, the first "five legislatively mandated evaluations of the
Milwaukee program found no achievement gains for voucher students."
As noted in KRC's 1999 report, 1995 legislation terminated the official evaluation of the Milwaukee voucher program. The program now enrolls 20,000 students and cost $130 million in 2009.
As noted in KRC's 1998 report p. 15-21, Harvard University's Paul Peterson, a voucher
advocate, and his team re-analyzed the state's Milwaukee voucher evaluation and found
that by the third and fourth year of attending a private school, voucher users outperformed
the public school control group in reading and math. The researchers' own tables showed a
statistically significant result only in math and only in the fourth year. Moreover, their data
showed that voucher students were a more advantaged group than the comparison students
in public schools.
A second re-analysis of the state's Milwaukee voucher evaluation by Princeton University's
Cecilia Rouse found no effect from vouchers in reading and a small effect in math for voucher students who had remained in the program over the four-year period.
A follow-up study by Rouse found that low-income students attending Milwaukee public
schools served by a state class-size reduction and enrichment program significantly
outperformed voucher students in reading and scored as well in math.5
In 2007, a fresh evaluation of the Milwaukee voucher program began. The evaluation team
includes: Patrick Wolf, Endowed Chair in School Choice at the University of Arkansas; Jay

Whether you are at a JFK Experience play, or lecture you will hear professional voice over artists assisting Mike in telling the story. These voice over artists give life to the people in JFK's life. For instance, you can hear what Rose Kennedy, the Ambassador, Jack's World War II shipmates, his brothers and sisters as well as historical figures of history, said about him and the times. We are fortunate that so much time has passed since the assassination because more conversations have been revealed as time goes by.
Each time you hear a voice over artist speak, then you are hearing what that historical character actually said. In other words, these voice over artists are re-creating the actual historical record and represent primary source research….. some mundane, some provocative and some astounding.
On this page, you'll get a chance to meet a few of the voice over artists who have contributed to JFK Experience and sample some of their fine work. Each voice over talent is interviewed and asked a few questions. Each is asked the following:
- Tell us a little about yourself?
- What did you learn about your character?
- What did you learn about JFK and his family?
- What research do you do to prepare for voice over work?
No single interview is longer than 2 minutes. And each interview reveals something different about these voice over artists, some have a connection to Kennedy and some to their character. But each voice over artist tells a unique, informative and revealing story. So sit back, relax and listen to these talented people.
|Phyllis Gordon = Voice of Rose Kennedy
|Jerry Goodwin = Voices of "Old Man" Joe Kennedy, Naval Ensign, John Harllee, Eugene Foncannon, Al Cluster, Jack Degman
|Heather Bonin = Voices of Catherine "Kate" Holway, Kay Halle, Kennedy neighbors
|Ted Zalewski = Voice of Earl "Cap" Leinbach

Good dairy housing is important for quality milk production. A well-designed barn provides a clean, comfortable home for the herd and a pleasant, efficient workplace for the operator.
Plan carefully for the storage and handling of milk, feed, bedding and manure, as these account for most of your labor. Also remember that a dairy building must satisfy a number of regulations; investigate these before construction begins.
Make sure you have a plentiful, dependable supply of good water, made available 24 h a day. A lactating cow will drink 135 L (30 gal) a day. The ideal water temperature is about 5-10°. Supply pipes buried deep in the ground will help keep the water cool in summer and prevent freezing in winter. Use automatic heating if the waterer is located where it might freeze. Provide 0.1 m² (1 sq ft) of watering tank surface for every 50 head.
A large, mechanized operation also needs dependable electrical power plus a standby system.
Choose a high, relatively level, well-drained site that will allow future building expansion. Build the floors above ground level to keep out runoff water.
Where possible, pick a site that allows good snow and wind control. You may have to add windbreaks and snow-and wind-control fences.
Locate the milkhouse and/or milk parlor on the north or east side of the barn to reduce the summer heat load. Locate yards where they are exposed to winter sunlight; those facing south or southeast thaw and dry faster, so are easier to manage.
The barn should be served by a good all-weather driveway, or border on a high, well-drained service yard with a good gravel base. Consider a circular driveway if milk is shipped in bulk. The truck driver should not have to open or close gates or back up to load. Build the barn close to pasture lanes and where it gives easy access to the house and other work areas.
Remember, if you raise your own replacement stock, you'll have twice as many animals and will need calf barns, maternity areas, dry cow housing, and storage for bedding, feed and manure. Based on the number of milking cows, you can estimate the additional animals you'll need for replacements as follows:
|Heifer calves (0-3 months)
|Bull calves (0-3 months, if housed)
|Heifers (3-10 months)
|Heifers (10 months-2 years)
|Heifers (2 years to freshening)
|Dry cows
Barns must protect cows from wind, moisture and - extreme temperatures. Whether you choose warm or cold housing, or loose tie-stall or free-stall management depends on the size of your operation, availability of bedding, climate, existing facilities, the degree of mechanization and personal preferences.
Warm housing is kept no cooler than 4° (40°) in winter. It must be well-insulated to retain animal heat. Ventilation (either fan-powered or automated natural ventilation) removes excess moisture in the winter and excess heat in the summer.
Cold housing in winter is only slightly warmer than outdoors. Natural ventilation removes moisture and keeps the barn temperature about 5-10° above that outside. Insulation under the roof reduces condensation in winter and heat buildup in summer. Cold barns cost less than warm barns but their watering systems must be protected against freezing.
The three basic housing systems are tie-stall, free-stall and loose. Tie-stalls are the most common in Canada. Each cow has a separate stall that permits individual attention during feeding, grooming and milking. Additional pens are provided for calves, young stock and for freshening cows. Tie-stall barns are generally 9.6-11.4 m (32-38 ft) wide with a ceiling height of 2.4 m (8 ft) or more.
Free-stalls are the most popular for 50 or more head. The resting area is divided into individual stalls without ties, and the paved alleys are cleaned by scraping. You need much less bedding because it tends to stay in the stalls. Barns with a feeder down the center and one row of stalls down each side should be 12-13.2 m (40-44 ft) wide. Two rows of stalls on each side can be used for larger herds. The minimum ceiling height is 2.7 m (9 ft).
Loose housing uses a deep-bedded resting area plus separate feeding, holding and milking areas. Bedding requirements are very high, so it is seldom used now except where bedding is inexpensive and abundant. Barns should provide 6 m² (60 sq ft) per head for milking cows and 4 m² (40 sq ft) for dry cows and heifers. A ceiling at least 3 m (10 ft) high permits manure pack buildup and cleaning. Allow a minimum of 6 m² (60 sq ft) per head in paved exercise yards for milking cows, dry cows and heifers. If unpaved, provide 30 m² (300 sq ft) per head for milking cows and 20 m² (200 sq ft) for dry cows and heifers. Unpaved yards are not suitable for heavy traffic areas or where annual precipitation exceeds 50 cm (20 in.).
This must be a sanitary, efficient place to milk cows and handle, cool and hold milk. It demands the greatest investment, the most time and labor, and the strictest sanitation. Since sanitation regulations vary by region, contact local health or dairy officials before construction begins.
The milkhouse must meet strict sanitary requirements. It is attached to, but partitioned off from, the barn and the milking parlor. Here milk is cooled and held for pickup and equipment is cleaned and stored. If milk must be carried, locate the milkhouse to minimize the walking distance to the milking area. Make sure you can move the bulk tank in and out, by installing double doors or removable panels that extend to the floor.
The milking parlor is used for regular milking. It reduces labor by bringing the cows to the operator, generally standing them on a platform 750-900 mm (30-36 in.) high. Layout will depend upon required capacity, personal preferences, economics and design. Parlors can be as simple as a few stanchion milking stalls beside the milkhouse, with the milk carried out by hand, to something as complex as a rotary system with automated equipment and transfer systems. Herringbone or side-opening stalls in two rows are the most common.
Cows wait to be milked in the holding area. This may be part of the regular animal traffic area or a separate space used only for this purpose. It should be surfaced with rough-textured pavement, and provide 1.1-1.7 m² (12-18 sq ft) per cow. If the holding area slopes, make sure it rises toward the milking parlor entrances. Design the holding area so cows can enter the parlor easily and without sharp turns.
Most operators prefer this area in a building (or section of a building) where they can control the environment. Often you can convert part of the stable in an existing barn. The area must be dry, draft-free, well lighted, insulated and ventilated.
Provide one 3 x 3 m (10 x 10 ft) maternity pen, or one maternity tie-stall without gutter, for every 20 to 25 cows (in loose housing, add a treatment tie-stall for every 20 to 25 cows). You'll also need an isolation pen for every 40 animals; it should have minimum dimensions of 3 x 3 m (10 x 10 ft), be separate from the main livestock area and have a stanchion or tie-stall in one corner.
Calves up to 3 months old should have individual stalls with 600 x 1500 mm (2 x 5 ft) minimum dimensions. Calves 3 to 10 months old should each have 2.2 m² (24 sq ft) of pen with bedding or 1.5 m² (16 sq ft) with slotted floors. Alternatively, they may be housed in free stalls.
Keep this stock separate from the milking herd. Most operators use loose housing to save work. It is best to separate the large and small heifers. If you can't, leave liberal amounts of feeding space so that smaller animals will not be crowded out. Heifers 10 to 24 months old should each have 3.2 m² (35 sq ft) with bedding or 2 m² (22 sq ft) with slotted floors.
The most common way to remove manure from a tie-stall barn is with a mechanical gutter cleaner. The manure is either moved directly into a spreader for field spreading, or stacked outside on a paved slab that has low curbs or earth banks to confine runoff.
Free-stall barns with solid alley floors are scraped to a collection point. The manure can then be moved to storage by gutter cleaner, pump or gravity pipe. With slotted floors, manure is tramped down into a concrete gutter.
Provide enough room for storage and handling, as well as good access to the storage for removing and transporting manure to the field. Locate the storage so prevailing winds carry odors away from the house.
Plan feed storage for each milking cow based on 13.6 kg (30 lb) of hay per day if no silage is fed, or 40.8 kg (90 lb) of silage if no hay is fed. If you feed silage and hay in combination, substitute at the ratio of three units of silage to one of hay, by weight. Concentrate storage should allow for 3-7 kg (6-15 lb) per cow per day, or one unit by weight per three of milk produced. Provide about 50% additional storage for the rest of the herd.
Allow 700 mm (28 in.) of feed bunk per animal if the cows are fed on a timetable. If they are self-fed and feed is available at all times, you can reduce feeder space to as little as 300 mm (12 in.) per milking cow and 200 mm (8 in.) for each dry cow and heifer. Feed bunks should be 750 mm (30 in.) wide if animals feed from one side and 1500 mm (60 in.) wide if they feed from both sides. The maximum height at the throat should be 550 mm (22 in.) and the maximum reach (measured diagonally from the top of the throat board) should be 850 mm (34 in.). For cows and heifers, leave at least 3.3 m (11 ft) from bunk to wall or fence, 3.6 m (12 ft) from feed bunk to free-stall heel curb, and 4.8 m (16 ft) from feed bunk to parallel feed bunk.
The general trend is toward single-story, light wood-frame dairy buildings. Select materials for sanitation, durability, strength, fire-resistance and thermal insulation.
Building and maintenance costs are largely determined by the construction materials. Concrete is good for footings, floors, ramps and steps because it costs little to maintain, is workable before it sets, is durable, and (above all) is sanitary. Generally, wood framing is used for walls, partitions and roofs because it is readily available, is easily cut, and practically all building panels can be attached directly. Good insulation is necessary for proper ventilation in enclosed buildings. Durable weatherproof materials are recommended for exterior surfaces. Interior surfaces exposed to high humidity like that in a milkhouse must be waterproof and easily cleaned. Windows lose heat and often get dirty and wet from condensation. Many new dairy barns have few or no windows unless local regulations require them.
Fans are generally used to exhaust stale air from a barn. They must be selected to provide air flow rates that range from the winter minimum to the summer maximum.
Inlet location and design are more important than fan location. A good inlet allows enough fresh air to enter the barn and encourages it to mix well throughout the room, without drafts on the animals.
In a well-insulated barn housing the milking herd, you'll need little or no heat other than that produced by the animals until the outside temperature falls below -20° (-4°). Calf and maternity areas will require supplementary heat. Heat the milkhouse and milk parlor to keep them dry and above freezing.
The parlor must also be ventilated to remove excess heat produced during milking.

The shtick behind Creampie Surprise is that after the internal money shot, the girl acts surprised and then repulsed by having been on the receiving end of an internal shot.
The video quality is okay, but the picture does tend to seem flat, giving some of the scenes an amateurish feel. One girl that might spark some interest is Xana Star. Her natural sultry looks make good video. And young'un Allison Pierce will go over well with fans of new girls.
Retailing: This goes on the internal pop shelf.

Well, the second night of Vancouver Fashion Week 2010 did not disappoint. There were lots of beautiful looks sent down the runway in a flawless show that was full of lights and sounds. Here are my highlights of the night.
First up was Lav and Kush. "In Hindu mythology, Lav & Kush are the royal twins born to lord Ram and their earth mother, Sita. They were raised in the forest and became the protector of the woods, and represented music, beauty and strength. Playful yet protective warriors, these two demi gods were lovable and inspirational to all." (Text taken from www.lavandkush.com) All the looks that Lav and Kush sent down the runway were well constructed, with a great attention to detail. They had beautiful accessories, including a gorgeous enamel flowered bracelet that I loved!!! My favorite part of the show was the black pencil skirt with shirring on the side. A great update on a classic staple.
Next up was Red Jade, whose motto is "Love, Laugh, Play & Wear Red Jade".......Don't mind if I do! The first look down the runway were gorgeous wide-legged trousers, a personal favorite of mine. It can be hard to create a beautiful line in a wide leg trouser, but Red Jade nailed it. They had interesting uses of shapes and silhouettes and used a lot of drapey fabrics, which can be tricky to work with. But Red Jade did an impressive job.
Third up was Eva Chen with her line; Juan Eva. Her ecclectic mix of textures and fabrics were genius! My favorite was a velvet dress with a fur sleeve...see what I mean? GENIUS! It had a beautiful fit, not always an easy feat with velvet, and was beautiful. She showed great fashionable pieces that were semi-couture-ish, my favorite mix! She had a wonderful use of accessories and my favorite accessories of the night: a huge feathered headband. Who doesn't love a good over-sized headband once in a while?
Next up was Niche, a boutique in Vancouver that sells a range of designers. The pieces they presented last night were a mix of ecclectic prints and accessories. They had some Vivianne Westwood pieces that went down the runway, and those were easily identifiable! They were a lot more riskier than some of the other pieces presented earlier, which comes with her age and status in the fashion world.
Lastly down the runway were The Trues with a collection called Contrast and Orange by Angela Chan. Hers was a great, solid collection that mixed pieces that were completely wearable with pieces that were completely fashion-forward. She had a great mix of fabrics and her draping and fit was superb.
Please click here to see photos from the Opening Night Gala and the proceeding shows. Please be patient, all the photos from all the shows will be up shortly. All photos credits go to YiHeng Su.

The Palm Pre, described as a phone that's "always thinking ahead," debuted at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas this month. The phone is running Palm's all-new Linux-based webOS platform. The form factor is downright sexy with a 3.1″ 320 x 480 multitouch display with accelerometer-sensed widescreen browsing and a full pull-out qwerty keyboard. It includes 802.11b/g WiFi, GPS, Bluetooth and 8GB of built-in flash storage. There's a 3MP camera with LED flash, a mass storage-friendly microUSB plug and a 3.5mm headphone jack. There is also a wireless charger.
Great specs and it demoes well.
You might have forgotten but Palm is a very big player. They haven't been in the spotlight as much lately, though. The Palm Pre clearly changes that. So far, it has more than doubled their stock price. The story's not over, but they are relevant again.
What's powering their comeback? Linux.
Palm has shrewdly taken advantage of an open platform that delivers incredible immediate value. I don't mean value is a general sense either. The Linux Foundation has issued a report [1] on the quantifiable R&D value a company gets when they utilize Linux. Leapfrogging kernel development is worth $1.4B. Leapfrogging a full Linux distribution is worth $10.8B. Including the enthusiastic and knowledgeable developer community that can become apart of supporting the product, Palm is seriously back in the game.
The bigger question I'm asking myself is: Without Linux, could Palm have fought back? It's a relevant question. Without Linux, would Google be Google?

Conflict is inevitable in any relationship, but strategy in addressing conflict in marriage is crucial. Personalities and personal habits can fuel conflict in any marriage, but conflicts should be addressed in love.
"My husband has a control factor built into his personality," Donna, a local teacher, said. "Wanting to be a good Christian wife," she added, " I wanted to submit and allow him to make decisions to drive our home in the right direction. I got to where I became complacent in letting him make final decisions in every matter related to our marriage. I became the silent, submissive partner."
In Ephesians, Chapter 5, the Apostle Paul does encourage wives to submit to their husbands as to the Lord. Furthermore, Paul states, " For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, of which he is the Savior."
Paul's words are often shunned by many women-- even Christian women. Nevertheless, regardless of how this scripture is received, it is still up to men and women to address an issue such as "the head spouse in charge."
Even though Donna made a decision to accept her husband's need for control of their marriage matters, her lack of voice in their marriage and her need for a voice became evident in her attitude.
"My husband began to respond positively in a very subtle way. I knew he didn't want me to feel left out of marital decisions, and he relented some of his control very slowly but in a loving way."
Donna's husband began sneaking in questions about how she felt about the location for their next trip and asking her for her suggestions regarding how they could save money in the budget.
"I know without asking that this is an ongoing prayer to deny self on my husband's part. He admitted his need for control in most matters, but he wasn't willing to allow this personality quirk to cause a rift in our marriage."
Look for more weekly articles on common personality quirks and personal habits that have tried local couples and the ways these couples successfuly resolved these conflicts in love.

New addition to The Cork Board blog
Happy July all! The Cork Board team is gearing-up for the 4th of July–which around here means some R&R, BBQ, fireworks and of course, a bottle or two of Napa Valley wine.
In the meantime, we've added a new section to our sidebar–see the header "Napa Valley Wineries with blogs". Based on our own research and your responses to last week's entry on the lack of Napa Valley winery blogs, we're going to keep track of all local wineries that are hip to this super cost-effective 'marketing 2.0' tool.
So, if you represent a winery with a blog and don't see it listed here, let us know. Or, if you read a particular Napa Valley winery blog that we've missed, tell us about it in the comments or send us an email. Certainly there can't only be 4.5 Napa Valley wineries with blogs…

I am curious whether a new system which cascades two individual chaotic systems is always chaotic.
My feeling says if two chaotic systems $S_1$ and $S_2$ satisfying the constraints that $${\rm range}( S_1 ) = {\rm domain}(S_2)$$ and $${\rm range}( S_2 ) = {\rm domain}(S_1)$$ then their composite system $S' = S_1\circ S_2$ is also chaotic. I guess should use proof by contradiction. However, I donot know whether this claim is indeed true.
For example, a logistic map $L(\cdot)$ is defined as $$x_{i+1}=L(x)=rx_i(1-x_i)$$ and a tent map $T(\cdot)$ is defined as $$x_{i+1}=T(x)=\left\{\begin{array}{lr}{ux_i\over c}&, x_i<c\\{u(1-x_i)\over (1-c)}&, x_i\geq c\end{array}\right.$$
Assume parameters of both maps are carefully chosen to ensure the map chaotic behaviors ( both range and domain are (0,1) ). Is the following system also chaotic? $$G(c)=L\circ T(x) = L(\,T(x)\,)$$
Can anyone provide any idea here?
Thank you.

What is an Indie Author?
An indie author is an author who chooses to self publish their books instead of going through a traditional publishing house.
This is not an article debating which one is better: self publishing or traditional publishing. I think both genres can have authors in them that are intriguing.
Because I'm not published yet (and I do want to go through traditional publishing), I have many indie author friends. Every Wed, we will have a series that will introduce you to some of their works.

Two capes worn by two of the Beatles in the movie "Help!" sold for £115,000 ($247,639.54), the BBC reported March 20. The cape belonging to George Harrison sold for £54,000 ($89,152), including buyer's premium while Starr's cape sold for £61,000 ($100,708). They both sold over the pre-auction estimates of £20,000 ($33,019) to £30,000 ($49,521).
A 100-year-old piano (see photo) used by Paul McCartney and John Lennon during the making of "Help!" was sold to a collector in South America for £57,500 ($94,932), the BBC said. The sale price lived up to the pre-auction estimate that it would sell for over £50,000.
Several items belonging to Paul McCartney were taken off sale after McCartney said they belonged to him.
Paul on TV: Japanese TV viewers will get to see Paul McCartney's 2013 Tokyo show on TV Friday, according to Jash of Jash's Paul McCartney News. A page for the show is here.
Ringo with a little help: Some of the folks on Ringo Starr's upcoming album are taking to social media. On March 14, Peter Frampton wrote on Facebook he played on two Ringo Starr album tracks. And on March 19, Richard Marx posted he wrote another song with him.
International: La Santa Cecilia, with accordionist Jose "Pepe" Carlos, bassist Alex Bendana, percussionist Miguel Ramirez, and lead vocalist La Marisoul, included a Beatles cover on their latest album, "Someday New," a "Spanglish" (their word) version of "Strawberry Fields Forever." You can hear a preview of it here.

Lost in Translation: Does the Climate Bill Learn from Europe?
For years, we've heard that the U.S. has to heed the lessons from Europe's own experiment in building a cap-and-trade system. Does the just-released Waxman/Markey draft bill on energy and climate show any lessons have been learned?
Europe's lessons on cap-and-trade are basically three. First, make sure the emissions permits you hand out match the emissions actually produced by the industries you're regulating. Second, don't hand them out—sell them. And third, be ready for the carbon market—like any commodities market—to be a rollercoaster ride with lots of price volatility.
First Lesson: Calculate Emissions Better
The draft bill just out of the House will have a better start than Europe's program, because the Environmental Protection Agency is preparing a registry of industrial emissions. That will enable regulators to calibrate better how many emissions permits are needed.
In Europe, national regulators just asked companies to estimate how many emissions they would have in the future. Then national authorities added some wiggle room on top of those already-inflated figures. The result? There were a lot more emissions permits than emissions, sending the price of carbon permits plummeting more than 90% from their peaks.
Second Lesson: Sell the Permits
Another big problem with the European system: It gave away emissions permits, rather than selling them. That let utilities pocket billions of euros in windfall profits, because they got the permits for free, yet were able to pass on higher electricity costs to consumers. (That would be harder in regulated U.S. electricity markets.) Europe aims to auction more of the permits for the next round of the cap-and-trade program.
On that crucial point, the Waxman/Markey bill is silent. President Obama repeatedly said he wanted to sell 100% of the auctions and earn potentially trillions of dollars in government revenue, but that's a tough sell. Lots of businesses want the bulk of the emissions given away free in the early years of the program to avoid shouldering huge extra costs. Figuring out just how to divvy up the emissions permits will fall to the House Energy and Commerce committee this month.
Third Lesson: Prepare for Volatility
One other black spot in the European experience has been wildly volatile carbon prices, caused in part by things like over-allocation of permits. Cheap permit prices recently, largely a side-effect of the recession, have stymied the push for fresh investment in clean-energy technology. It's cheaper for power companies just to buy the bargain-basement permits they need to meet their emissions goals rather than investing in pricier clean-up technologies.
The Waxman/Markey bill aims to beef up market regulations. But the bill's language just lays out what needs to be done, not how to do it: The government "shall promulgate regulations for the establishment, operation, and oversight" of the carbon market. That means creating new rules to "prohibit fraud, market manipulation, and excess speculation, and provide measures to limit unreasonable fluctuation in the prices of regulated allowances."
So, the bill earns a check plus for learning the first lesson, but demerits for basically punting on the other two. Much work, obviously, lays ahead.

The Bootheel of Missouri and Pemiscot County was brought to a virtual stop by one of the biggest ice/freezing rain and snow storms that began on Mar. 2 and ended the morning of the Mar. 3. Sunday began with thunder and freezing rain, switching to thunder and heavy amounts of sleet, and then followed by a topping of wet snow. Estimations of five to six inches of the combination brought most of the county to a halt.
County offices, city offices, restaurants and other businesses closed as law enforcement officials advised people to stay off of the streets and roads. As of mid-morning on Mar. 3 most of interstate 55 and almost all of the side roads remained close to impassable.
Residents are calling in the worst storm they can remember since the ice storm of 2009 that shut down the area and power for up to weeks and months for some.
All of Pemiscot County schools were closed and situations were aggravated by temperatures falling into the teens with wind chills near zero. Luckily only scattered power outages were reported as freezing rain switched quickly to heavy sleet. Power lines and trees were still covered and law enforcement report handling countless slide-offs and accidents.
Each area law enforcement advised staying off of the roads so that emergency crews could do their work. CHS-PAWS, the animal shelter closed to the public, calling in only staff that would care for the animals and has already announced they will be closed again tomorrow. Some banks worked partial days or did not open and some stores remained closed.
Temperatures are expected to begin to rise again by Wednesday above freezing and citizens are hoping that March coming in like a lion will go out like a lamb. For road conditions drivers can check with the Missouri Department of Transportation.

Navy's Kathy Young scored three goals in a 14-7 win over American on Friday.
April 27, 2012
Annapolis, Md. — The 2012 Patriot League Women's Lacrosse Championship matchup is set, as top seed Navy will go for a third consecutive crown on its home field when it takes on third seed Holy Cross on Sunday at 12 p.m.
Both teams advanced with wins in the semifinal round of the Patriot League Tournament on Friday at Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium. The Mids took control early and never looked back in a 14-7 win over fourth seed American, while the Crusaders outlasted second seed Colgate 13-12 to move on to the finals.
On Sunday, Navy will be trying to become the first team to win three consecutive Patriot League Tournament titles. The last team to win three straight championships overall was Lafayette from 2000-02, but the first of those came before the inception of the Patriot League Tournament in 2001. The Mids, in their fifth season in the Patriot League, will be playing for the championship for the fourth straight year.
Holy Cross returns to the Patriot League title game for the first time since 2007, when the Crusaders won a second consecutive championship. Holy Cross is in its fifth Patriot League title game in six appearances in the postseason. The Crusaders fell in the championship in 2001 and 2005 before winning its two titles consecutively in 2006 and 2007.
Holy Cross and Navy will face off in the Patriot League Tournament for the first time. The Mids are trying to become the ninth No. 1 seed in 12 tournaments to win the title, but the first since Colgate in 2009. The only No. 3 seed to win it all was Navy last season.
The winner of the Patriot League Championship moves on to visit the winner of the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation in an NCAA Play-In game on Saturday, May 5.
Patriot League Tournament - Semifinals
#1 Navy 14, #4 American 7
Box Score | Video Highlights
Annapolis, Md.- Top-seed Navy built a big early lead and maintained control the rest of the way to knock off fourth-seed American 14-7 in the Patriot League Women's Lacrosse Tournament semifinals on Friday at Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium.
The Mids (16-2) advance to the Patriot League Championship for the fourth straight season, and will be going for their third straight title on Sunday at 12 p.m. against third-seed Holy Cross. The Crusaders defeated No. 2 seed Colgate 13-12 in the other semifinal on Friday. The Eagles saw their season come to an end with a 7-10 record.
Jess Fellows and Kathy Young opened with early goals for the Mids, and Jill Coughlin scored a pair sandwiched around a tally from Jasmine DePompeo as Navy took a 5-1 lead less than 10 minutes into the game. Aimee Gennaro scored the next three Navy goals as the Mids built an 8-3 lead late in the first half. Kimberly Collins and Alex Lugovina each tallied for the Eagles to trim the gap to 8-5, but Young and Depompeo scored in the final 30 seconds of the first half to give Navy a 10-5 lead at intermission.
The second half was played at a much slower pace, and Navy never looked back after scoring the first three goals of the period to take a 13-5 lead. Neither team scored in the final 13 minutes as the Mids went on to the 14-7 win.
Gennaro led the Mids with four goals, while Young added three and DePompeo had two goals and an assist. Fellows and Coughlin also scored a pair in the 14-goal effort, while Michelle Verbeeck made eight saves to earn the win in the net.
Lugovina and Lauren Schoenberger each had two goals and an assist to pace the Eagles.
#3 Holy Cross 13, #2 Colgate 12
Box Score | Video Highlights
Annapolis, Md.- Holy Cross held on down the stretch in a back and forth game as the third-seed Crusaders went on to a 13-12 win over second-seed Colgate in a semifinal of the Patriot League Women's Lacrosse Tournament on Friday.
The Crusaders (10-7) move on to the Patriot League Championship for the first time since 2007, and fifth overall. They will go for a third Patriot League title on Sunday against host and top-seed Navy, which beat fourth-seed American 14-7 in the other semifinal on Friday. Colgate (6-11) had made it to three of the last four Patriot League title contests.
The Crusaders built a big lead in the regular season matchup with Colgate only to falter late and lose 12-11 in Hamilton, and the semifinal contest followed much of the same script. Holy Cross took a 4-1 lead less than 10 minutes into the game behind a pair of goals from Caitie Shea, but Colgate rallied to take a 6-5 lead behind three goals from Courtney Miller. Shea scored twice more to put Holy Cross back in front, and the teams traded goals to go into intermission tied at 8-8. Both Shea and Miller scored four goals in the first half.
Holy Cross opened the second half in the same manner, scoring three of the first four goals to go ahead 11-9 with 22:03 left. Colgate scored twice in just over a minute to knot the score at 11-11 with 19:14 to go, but the Crusaders came through in the final minutes. Holy Cross went ahead 13-11 on goals by Seton Hartnett and Sara Hennessey, and kept the Raiders off the scoreboard for more than 17 minutes until Amanda O'Sullivan got Colgate back within one at 13-12 with 1:41 left. That would be as close as Colgate would get, however, as the Crusaders held on to get back to the Patriot League Championship for the first time in five years.
Shea led Holy Cross with four goals and two assists, while Laura Ryan had three goals and an assist and Hartnett added three goals. Hennessey scored twice while Sarah Weber made eight saves in goal to earn the win.
Miller had five goals and an assist to lead the Raiders, as the Patriot League Midfield Player of the Year concluded a stellar career. O'Sullivan added three goals for Colgate, while Katie Sullivan had two goals and three assists.

Arabi at Rincon Annex Restaurant Review: The caféteria-style format belies the complexly seasoned and delicious Palestinian food served here. Crispy cumin-scented falafel and tender shwarma in pillow-soft pita are the best of the genre, especially when anointed with shatta, a fiery hot sauce. Wonderful salads, daily soups, grilled shish kebabs with vegetables and saffron rice are not to be missed. A honey-dripping diamond of baklava is just one more jewel.

Britney Spears "Headed For Another Public Meltdown" Because of X Factor?
Britney Spears' tenure as an "X Factor" judge is "off to a rocky start," claims Us Weekly.
According to a so-called "source" for the tabloid, "Doing 'X Factor' may lead her back into meltdown territory," because Spears "gets extremely nervous and anxious" during the show's tapings.
And though Spears and her fellow judges just began filming the upcoming season last week, the "stress" is allegedly already taking its toll on the pop star.
"This is a lot of change at once for Britney," alleges the supposed source. "She's coming undone."
RELATED – Britney Spears "Demanded" More Money Than Jennifer Lopez to Judge "X Factor?"
So, what's really going on here?
Ever since it was announced that Spears would be joining the music competition series, outlets have been desperate to to make it seem like she's one wrong move away from a full-on mental breakdown.
A rep for Spears tells Gossip Cop that Us Weekly was told its allegations were completely false, but still decided to run with the inaccurate story anyway.
It's "a pathetic attempt at creating a story," says the rep.

Massachusetts Book of the Dead - Graveyard Legends and Lore from the Bay State. Massachusetts's historic graveyards are the final resting places for tales of the strange and supernatural. From Newburyport to Truro, these graveyards often frighten the living, but the dead who rest within them have stories to share with the world they left behind. While Giles Corey is said to haunt the Howard Street Cemetery in Salem, cursing those involved in the infamous witch trials, visitors to the Forest Hills Cemetery in Jamaica Plain enjoy an arboretum and a burial ground with Victorian-era memorials. One of the oldest cemeteries in Massachusetts, Old Burial Hill in Marblehead, has been the final resting place for residents for nearly 375 years.

Graveyards often invoke fear and superstition among the living, but the dead who rest within them may have more to communicate to the world they left behind. The sands of Pine Grove Cemetery in Hampton once concealed the tombstone of Susanna Smith, but now its message--which reads simply "Slaine with thunder"--and her story have risen from beneath the soil. The Point of Graves Cemetery in Portsmouth is home to the spirit of Elizabeth Pierce, who beckons departing guests back to her grave. Along the state's southern border in Jaffrey, tombstones at Philips-Heil Cemetery caution the living to cherish life. Author Roxie Zwicker tours the Granite State's oldest burial grounds, exploring the stones, stories and folklore of these hallowed places.

Happy 2013!
Martin Braun (CEL <martin.braun <at> kit.edu>
Hi everyone, I'd like to wish everyone a happy and productive 2013. For GNU Radio, this year is already looking awesome: Look out for the 3.7.0 release (you can follow it's development on the 'next' branch), which will bring cool new stuff. Google Summer of Code 2013 will hopefully be even more successful as the last one was (I'll be posting more info soon, but you can start thinking about projects!). We're also planning on having another GNU Radio Conference, but right now there are no details fixed for this. If one of your New Year's resolutions was to hack more Software Radio, or become more involved with GNU Radio, don't let that slip like all the other ones (you can still stop smoking in 2014 :D ). With the recent rebooting of the issue tracker, the availability of gnuradio on github, gr_modtool and other scriplets, as well as the increased number of tutorials and howtos on our wiki and the other web sites, developing GNU Radio has never been easier (OK, I sound like a TV sales guy. But it's still true).

Form, format, makeup, layout, art work, and frequency of publication are all important aspects of communicating with your chapter's members through regularly issued bulletins and newsletters. Nothing, however, is more important than communication itself. Naturally, it would be ideal if each one of our chapters was able to print a regular, full color magazine of the same quality as the National Society's S.A.R. Magazine. Such is not possible.
It is possible, however, to communicate. A letter or one sheet bulletin photocopied on both sides is far, far better than no news at all. No news is not good news. No news is just that - - nothing.
Communication is a vital key to every other aspect of the SAR and is absolutely necessary if we are to reach the goals we have set for ourselves and live up to the principles for which we stand.

More than 30 generous supporters racked up a total of $2,375 in donations for Central Georgia CARES during Georgia Gives Day last Thursday. Thousands of participants around the state donated more than $800,000 in a single day to hundreds of non-profit charitable organizations.
Central Georgia CARES (Critter Advocates Requesting Ethical Standards) is a registered 501(c)(3) animal welfare organization founded in Macon in 2009.
CARES and its mascot, AC Pup, serve the entire region and State of Georgia through positive promotion, education, outreach and funding. CARES fulfills a leadership role by encouraging adoptions, expanding spay/neuter programs, reducing euthanasia, eliminating animal cruelty, building Homeless Pet Clubs, conducting vaccine and pet wellness clinics, and assisting in other aspects of care for animals.
AC Pup is a much-loved local celebrity in middle Georgia, a dog that was found as a tiny, half-frozen puppy and nurtured back to health. CARES and AC engage in an active educational campaign that involves classroom visits, a weekly column in The Macon Telegraph, daily postings on Facebook and regular emailings to animal-lovers in the region. AC Pup uses three Facebook pages to mobilize fans and friends when a pet goes missing, when animals are in danger at the pound, and when animals are found injured and in need of emergency care.
CARES conducts outreach and fundraising activities to help pets in need, hosting several events during the year that encourages community participation and support.
AC Pup is currently in the running for the PetMeds Next Pet TV Star Contest, and asks that all of his friends and fans vote for him every day so he can strut his stuff in a national commercial. He hopes that the broad exposure of a national commercial will help boost his work here at home.

But because the mistakes came back, I think we took ourselves out of the game. Every team will have spurts, but you need to have big spurts and we just didn't have that today.
Freeman on how the loss to Boston College will affect the team going into A-10 play:
