Wow... It's been a LONGGGGGG time!
Monday, March 17, 2014
Hey there Sparklers!
I haven't written a blog in two years and 3 months tomorrow! Wow. So my last year two years have been CRAZY! My husband and I decided to have a baby in June of 2012, got pregnant in September of 2012, and I had my second son, Grayson Emery, on May 29, 2013. He is an amazing blessing, so sweet, adorable, and precious. I am a very blessed woman in my life!
But** My pregnancy was miserable and I was sick and lazy the ENTIRE 9 months. And then I was "used" to being lazy so continued to for the first 6 months of Grayson's little life and soaked up all the snuggles, hugs, kisses, and cuddle I could from the couch. I had gained weight before I got pregnant and was around 172 when I conceived. I hit 210 by the day I delivered and was extremely mortified. :( I sit here with a 9.5 month old baby at 179 and am determined to get back to 150 ish. That's 29 pounds and I KNOW I can do it because I went from 210 to 179 with minimal effort and only really watching what I was eating and not being super strict and really NO excercise to mention.
I had starting working out, slowly trying to work my way back up to where I was about 2 months ago and had lost 3.5 pounds (bringing me down to 179). Three weeks ago I sprained my knee and proceeded to gain all of it back as I sat on the couch feeling defeated. In the last week I have decided I am NOT going to be a victim and sit on the couch WISHING to be "skinny." That is just stupid and a waste of my time. I got up this morning, put my knee brace on and did T25 but the modified version. My knee only hurt once and I felt AMAZING afterward, out of breath and sweating like a PIGGY! If I can do that with a recovering sprained knee, I can do this. It is all in my head telling me I can't. My body is just sitting here (literally) waiting for my head to realize what I'm still capable of, 30 extra pounds or not!
I am starting with serious motivation, but realistic goals! Here goes for the next 4 weeks---
Drink 8 glasses of water during the week and at least 4 on the weekends
Do modified T25 5 days a week
Eat between 1300 and 1500 calories 6 days a week and less than 1800 the other day
Stop the excuses and negative self talk... I will not say or think anything about myself that I wouldn't say about my friend. I need to be nicer to myself and understand that I have had two children, I just turned 29, and I have a lot going on in my life. Beating myself up about how I got to this point will do nothing for my journey back to health, fitness, and if anything, it will continue to tell me that I cannot do it rather than that I CAN do it! :)

A little more than a month ago, I wrote a post about the upcoming Nationals 2013 Spring Training, which is de rigeur when it's cold and/or February; the day after: a post about options (self-referencing is also obligatory).
For the most part, it's been as expected… Anthony Rendon has had his moments, which have been heavily covered, but has been cool the for the past three games (0-for-7, 3K), which has been largely ignored. Danny Espinosa and Wilson Ramos have proven thus far to be healthy enough, which may have been the best shot for any of the minor-leaguers (notable or otherwise) to sneak onto the 25-man roster.
For us, the fans of the minors and what some casual fans call "the baby Nats," there's been a little upheaval. Christian Garcia (wrist) and Nathan Karns (leg) have both suffered injuries, which the more cynical among us would say is probably inevitable for two surgically repaired guys after breakthrough years in 2012. Matt Purke is (once again) going into
witness protection extended spring training to begin the season with a plan to join his teammates (probably in Hagerstown) in late May and an innings limit of about 100, which works out to be about 17 or 18 starts.
As you might imagine for the first guys to hit the plane from the I.L. if/when there's an injury, Corey Brown, Carlos Rivero, and Chris Marrero have been getting quite a bit of playing time. Of the three, as noted this morning in the comments, only Rivero is out of options. This is, of course, why Rivero has been appearing in the outfield, though I get the sense it's more to showcase his versatility as trade bait. Unfortunately, I also agree with the commenter's contention that it's been for naught thus far.
I'd still guess that at least two, if not all three will survive tomorrow's expected cuts (a bit of a misnomer, since they're usually reassigned, not released) because they're older, more experienced players who are on the cusp of the majors and whose presence isn't needed in the minors camp just yet (OK, so maybe I'm still holding out hope for a late-spring trade, too)
More likely to go: a catcher (e.g. Sandy Leon), a couple of pitchers (e.g. Patrick McCoy, Brandon Mann) and an infielder or two (unfortunately, Matt Skole is candidate as Ryan Zimmerman plays more). We'll know more this roughly this time tomorrow.

Sorta nice to see so much talent that can't make it to the Bigs.
Also nice to see Rizzo not get involved in too many long-term contracts so there is a future for Goodwin, Skole, and Rendon with the Nats.
Long-term contracts are the bugaboo of teams that want to be competitive over the long haul. The only way to handle the cyclic nature of competition is too continuously refresh and avoid sign guys beyond their usefulness.
if Goodwin does not see action in the SS games today there's a story that's not being reported.
O.k…you've got me 3b11…care to say what it is?
I just plant the conspiracy theory, it's there for the rest of you to validate or refudiate as you see fit
3b11 … If there was a conspiracy, it was back prior to ST when they decided not to make Goodwin one of their non-roster invites to major league camp. My guess is that Davey just felt they had enough OF from the 40 man roster given that the lineup was set, and that they had enough backups for the spring with Corey, Eury, TyMo, Lombo, and even Rivero as it turns out.
for what it's worth other non-roster invitees have made appearances. look, I'm not ready check Oliver Stone's twitter account on this. it just seems a little odd
Goodwin was mashing it in BP on Sunday. I saw him with my own eyes.
Of course, there's no running involved in BP.
on a more transparent note, Sickels has Giolito @ 104 and Skole @140 in his top 150. Rendon, Goodwin and Cole also listed
I too was curious about Goodwin's absence given that half his Hagerstown teammates have made it to the non-invitee roster since the start of spring training? A little odd. Also, have any of you noticed how well Alex Meyer has been doing? He was just sent down from big club but threw 5 scoreless innings in his last outing. Honestly don't think Span was worth it. Time will tell.
Mistake above. His last outing was 3 scoreless innings. 5 total for the spring campaign.
Time will tell, but five scoreless innings in spring training is a pretty thin foundation to build on. Does Meyer have upside? Heck yes! But don't forget that in Rizzo's wheeling and dealing he managed to flip one year of Morse plus Alex Meyer (#63 prospect on Sickels' site) for three years of Span plus A.J. Cole (#89 prospect). Cole is almost exactly two years younger than Meyer, and so will be coming along at a time when the Nats will need low priced pitching. Rizzo is playing chess, not checkers.

We have quite a high traffic, php intensive site; process quite large chunks of data which get cached.
I admit, i'm terrible to commit to change with server configs.
But we need a new, failover solution.
We have tried Nginx+PHP5-FPM in the past and found it threw too many 50x errors. Believe or not we still run Apache+mod_php, APC and memcache and it's stable and reliable.
However we need better fail over and eventually off site redundancy. Don't mention the Amazon Cloud, we didnt get on too well with that either.
So for someone like myself, risk adverse to changing a config / set up that i know yields good performance for our web app how do i introduce the right load balancer?
Essentially 2 load balancers in cluster running heartbeat for eliminate that single point of failure. Load Balancing several web boxes in case 1 or 2 break.
But what LB is stable to use. I like the sound of Zen Load Balancer but i'm also drawn to varnish to reverse proxy and also balance the traffic.
We have a rackspace set up with a LB on another project and it gives us grief, so i just need a stable solution that will LB / failover without any dropped connections or 500 errors.

OXFORD – The proprietors of some popular restaurants are in for an unpleasant Christmas present from the Oxford Fire Department.
City officials admit at least three downtown restaurants have been allowed to operate above the seating capacity that fire codes allow.
Mayor Pat Patterson said the problem surfaced while reviewing city regulations. He and Fire Chief Mike Hill urged giving the offending businesses until mid-summer of 2012 to come up to code or be forced to live within the seating limits.
"It's not a new issue, but we've got a proactive fire chief," Patterson told the Board of Aldermen on Monday. "If you have one entrance in some of these places, your capacity is 49."
Restaurant 208, City Grocery and Ajax Diner each have only one public exit. (Exits through kitchens cannot be counted unless they are separated by a wall.)
Hill said the regulations on restaurants, theaters and other "assembly occupancy" buildings with capacities of 50 or more are stricter than those for offices, stores and other occupancy types.
"Out of the 20 deadliest fires in the United States … nine of them were from assembly occupancies," he said.
When Patterson said he and Hill wouldn't act without the board's support, Ward 2 Ernest "E.O." Oliver acknowledged that "the most beautiful Square in the world" wasn't designed by modern safety standards.
"Our responsibility is for the health, safety and welfare of our citizens, and if it's not meeting code, we need to back whatever the professionals are saying," he said.
Board members informally agreed Hill would deliver written notice that the offending restaurants have until Aug. 1, 2012, to add another exit or live with the 49-seat capacity.
"I think we need to give them some notice and, frankly, accept the risk," the mayor said. "But let them know that Aug. 1, 2012, we're going to enforce it."

An upstate dog needs help to cover medical bills after being shot, Abby's Animal Angels reported April 16 on their Facebook page.
Boomer, known as Fringe at Greenville County Animal Care Services, is a retriever mix. Greenville is known as a high-kill shelter, where even healthy dogs are at risk of euthanasia. Unfortunately, Boomer has a nasty gunshot wound to his front leg, believed to have been inflicted at near point blank range.
This sweet dog, who must be in serious pain, still craves human companionship, and loves on everyone he meets.
Abby's Animal Angels has stepped up to save Boomer, and is now in charge of his care. They need your help to cover the expensive veterinary costs needed to save his life and get him ready for a forever home.
Boomer's leg has already been x-rayed and is fractured. He will need a more thorough examination to decide whether pins will be needed or whether a cast will be enough to allow the leg to heal.
Since Boomer has suffered one gunshot wound, x-rays will be taken to be sure he hasn't been shot in the past. Boomer also needs to be neutered.
On Thursday Boomer will be rescued from the shelter by Abby's Animal Angels, where he'll be taken to the vet for treatment. Luckily he has tested negative for heartworms.
An update will be made available as soon as Boomer sees the vet. The rescue will also be talking to Greenville County Animal Control to determine whether anyone knows where Boomer was when he was shot and whether criminal charges can be filed against that person.
Until then, please support Boomer by donating at his GoFundMe webpage. Abby's Animal Angels is one of many rescues in the Greenville area who are known for taking the hardest of cases, including the victims of cowardly and cruel animal abusers who are demented enough to inflict this type of injury.
Please share Boomer's story with friends who care about animal cruelty. It has been an uphill battle to stem the flow of violence toward animals in upstate South Carolina.
It would mean so much for the rescue to be able to focus on getting Boomer healthy enough to go to a forever home, instead of having to worry about medical bills for this sweet dog.

Conditions in other countries may be different from those in Canada and may affect the health of Canadian travellers. For example:
The Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC) actively seeks to identify and evaluate information about new, unusual or rapidly evolving health risks. When necessary, PHAC releases Travel Health Notices outlining the potential risks to Canadian travellers and to the Canadian public, and recommends measures that can be taken to help reduce these risks.

American Legion National Commander Daniel M. Dellinger on Wednesday told the House Committee on Veterans' Affairs that the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) leadership must be held accountable for mistakes that result in preventable deaths at its medical facilities.
Dellinger outlined several cases where veterans in VA Hospitals such as the Atlanta VA Medical Center, the G.V. Sonny Montgomery VA Medical Center in Jackson, Mississippi, the Pittsburgh VA Medical Center, and others where veterans died of an outbreak of Legionella bacteria, committed suicide, veterans dying of an overdose, among other unacceptable deaths treatments .
Dellinger told the House Committee on Veterans' Affairs, "Patient deaths are tragic… preventable deaths are unacceptable. But failure to disclose safety information or worse to cover up mistakes, is unforgivable, and The American Legion will not sit quietly by while some VA employees cover up the truth, and the VA shouldn't either."
In Dellinger's written report, he stated, "On November 14, 2013, The American Legion contacted the Veterans Health Administration (VHA) and requested a copy of the same report. As of today, April 9, 2014 nearly five months later, VHA has yet to provide that report to the American Legion."
When it came to the Atlanta VA Medical Center, Dellinger testified and said, "Two veterans died of an overdose, and one committed suicide, that was attributed to mismanagement and an inability to get the mental health care they needed in a timely manner. Veteran suicides continue to plague our nation at 22 per day, with no clear strategy from VA on addressing suicides proactively."
Such deaths are inexcusable and Dellinger said that the Legion would continue to pressure the VA to correct these issues.
Dellinger said that when military officers commit serious mistakes, they can be court-martialed but when it comes to the VA and the senior executives, they are allowed to resign when no penalties and nothing changes.
Furthermore, Dellinger said that he travels to the VA medical centers and said he can see who care, whose there simply for a paycheck, some great chiefs of staff while others are just biding their time toward retirement.
"We all need to continue to ask the hard questions," Dellinger told the committee. "What is VA doing to fix these problems, and are they concerned about keeping me informed? How is VA holding their leaders accountable for these errors?
"The American Legion will not stop asking the hard questions, and we hope you won't, either."

The last harmonic of the wave has a duration of 67.29 years, marked again by some dramatic event at the onset of the pattern. At first McKenna placed this event with the dropping of the atomic bomb on Hiroshima. This worked out to the graph reaching zero in mid-November of 2012. Later, when he learned of the end date of the Mayan calendar, he adjusted the wave to coincide with this time.
[link to www.2012hoax.org]
However, originally McKenna had chosen the end of the calendar by looking for a very novel event in recent history, and using this as the beginning of his final 67.29 year cycle. The event he chose was the atomic bombing of Hiroshima, which gave an end-date in mid-November of 2012, but when he discovered the proximity of this date to the end of the current 13-baktun cycle of the Maya calendar, he adjusted the end date to match!5

About 150 students are attending a third-annual renewable energy conference at the University of Tennessee in Knoxville this weekend to share successes and strategies.
In recent months, students at Middle Tennessee State, Tennessee Tech, Virginia Tech and the University of Kentucky have approved special fees to buy renewable energy and promote energy efficiency.
The University of Tennessee has become the TVA's biggest purchaser of green power and the University of South Carolina is planning a biomass facility to provide most of the campus's heat.
Tennessee faculty adviser Mike McKinney says student pressure to driving the changes.
Says McKinney, "It really does work, and it is spreading."

Evaluating Measurement Accuracy: A Practical Approach
Format Post in Physics BY Semyon G. Rabinovich
Shared By Guest
"Evaluating Measurement Accuracy" is intended for anyone who is concerned with measurements in any field of science or technology. The Author of this Book is Semyon G. Rabinovich It reflects the latest developments in metrology and offers new results, but is designed to be accessible to readers at different levels: meteorologists, engineers and experimental scientists who use measurements as tools in their professions, graduate and undergraduate students in the natural sciences and engineering, and technicians performing complex measurements in industry, quality control, and trade. Array ISBN . The material of the book is presented from the practical perspective and offers solutions and recommendations for problems that arise in conducting real-life measurements. Evaluating Measurement Accuracy: A Practical Approach available in English. This inclusion is a notable and unique aspect of this title as complex measurements done in industry and trade are often neglected in metrological literature, leaving the practitioners of these measurements to devise their own ad-hoc techniques.

This could be not just for artists but for designers too! Get a designer together with an artist and come up with something that would be pleasing to the eye and incorporate original art in the the outfits! Many States and cities do not have a lot of things that can bring tourists to their cities, but what if someone were to successfully do this, would it become a new thing for revenue for a city? Maybe a one a year thing, but it would help to get people more interested in art and fashion design!
You could have different types of categories. A tech art design integrated into the clothes, best design using art, best art and best original outfits. There could also be makeup artists there showing their trade and have that voted on as well!
Having people walking around with the fashions from booth to booth maybe with some indication of who the artists were that created that design.
I had suggested this to some people, but maybe it was not the right people.
If anyone decides to do this, i want to come too!
Anyone have any suggestion other than those above?

State issues health advisory regarding virus
The New York State Department of Health has issued
an advisory related to enterovirus EV-D68, a serious respiratory illness
that has been confirmed in more than a dozen children in New York state.
There currently are no confirmed cases involving Albany children.
This virus can cause severe respiratory illness in
children, especially those with asthma and other chronic respiratory
conditions, sometimes resulting in hospitalization. According to the
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention,
school-age children are most likely to get infected with such
enteroviruses and become ill because they do not yet have immunity
(protection) from previous exposures to these viruses.
According to Department of Health, the EV-D68 virus is transmitted
through close contact with a person who is already infected, or by
touching objects or surfaces contaminated with the virus and then
touching one's mouth, nose or eyes. There is no specific treatment or
anti-viral medications available.

New immunization rules effective July 1
The New York State Health
Department has changed the frequency and type of immunizations that
children must have in order to attend school in 2014-15.
State law requires districts to deny admitting
children to school if their family cannot prove they received or are in
the process of receiving required immunizations against diseases
including polio, pertussis and measles.
Click the highlighted text for a complete list of the
state immunization requirements.
According to the Health Department, the rules were
changed to make state immunization requirements consistent with the most
current childhood and adolescent immunization recommendations made by
the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP).
ACIP is a group of medical and public health experts that develop
recommendations on how to use vaccines to control diseases in the United
States. (MORE)
School Community Wellness
The City School District of Albany
is committed to providing school environments that
promote and protect children's health, well-being
and ability to learn by supporting healthy eating
and physical activity.
The district formed a Wellness Committee represented

and community members. That committee reviewed
existing programs and practices, identified needs
and established goals that would promote a healthy
school community. Those goals are reflected in the
district's Wellness Policy.

New York state law requires school districts to measure the height,
weight, body mass index (BMI), and determine weight status
categories for students when they enter school and in grades K, 2,

undiagnosed health problems related to growth and development that
may, by early intervention, be more readily corrected. School
districts also are required to take part in a survey by the New York
State Department of Health. Districts will report information about
weight status categories gathered from private physicals or school

President Obama's 2011 budget is out today, and while most want to know where their tax money is going, not many have time to sit down and pour over documents.
With the iPhone however, you can get a lot of information on the go.
If you want to get your info from the horse's mouth, so to speak, you can get the Whitehouse.gov iPhone app. On the Obama adminstration's official iPhone app, you will find a summary of what's in the budget, along with video replays and transcripts of the president's speeches.
If you're looking for a broader view of the president's new spending plan, then you can install one or more of the many news apps for the iPhone. CNN's $1.99 app for example, has a video explaining the budget, and a story breaking down some of programs and proposed budget savings.
There are some free alternatives to CNN's app, albeit not as pretty. The Associated Press, New York Times, USA Today, and Reuters all have detailed stories about the budget within their own iPhone apps.
Another way to find iPhone friendly news about the budget is by downloading the Taptu app. Taptu is a search engine that provides sites formatted for your iPhone, thus making them easier to read. A quick search of "2011 budget" brought up several mobile sites including Forbes.com, Bloomberg.com, and ABC News, all with different takes on Obama's plan.

College Hockey:Spartans And Wolverines Tie Yet Again, 5-5
Michigan State Erases Two-Goal Third-Period Deficit
DETROIT — Michigan State battled back to erase four different Michigan leads, forcing a 5-5 tie before 18,071 at Joe Louis Arena on Saturday.
Brandon Kaleniecki scored two goals to close the second period and open the third, giving the Wolverines a seemingly insurmountable 5-3 lead with 19 minutes left to play. To top it off, Michigan continued to dominate once it built a two-goal lead, earning a power play with less than 16 minutes to play.
Somehow and someway the Spartans found a way to turn a sure loss into a tie.
"When we are down, 5-3, we might not like how we got down, but we overcame it, so I'm very proud of the effort," said MSU coach Rick Comley. "We're tired. We had 8 games in 16 days. This is a very big point for us because everyone is so packed in the league standings."
"Of course this tie is disappointing. It's like a loss. We did a lot of good things and I'm just disappointed with the outcome, not our team or the way we played," said Berenson.
Tyler Howells gave Michigan State life with a power-play goal at the 11:37 mark. A rebound found its way to Howells' stick at the bottom of the left circle, and he was able to find daylight behind Billy Sauer to cut the deficit to 5-4.
David Booth's second goal of the night proved to be the game-tying goal for the Spartans. He rocketed a one-timer from the high slot to the top right corner of the net with 3:56 left to play.
Booth, a Michigan native who was incredibly close to signing with the Wolverines after a stint with the U.S. NTDP, missed much of the first half of his senior season with a nagging injury. Tonight, a healthy Booth proved to be a great asset for the Spartans.
Although this comeback was dramatic, these two teams are no strangers to tight games. Five of their last six contests have ended in ties and nine of the last 10 games have been decided by one goal or less. MSU, however, seems to be the only team to win a game in this series, holding a 7-game unbeaten streak against its bitter rival (2-0-5).
This game was also eerily similar to a game between these two teams at Yost Ice Arena last year in which Drew Miller scored twice in the last 2:26 to bring the Spartans back from down two.
Michigan is certainly not to be faulted for the tie. The Wolverines played a terrific game, scoring just about every type of goal imaginable. In the first period alone, Michigan scored a five-on-three power-play goal, an even-strength goal, and a shorthanded goal.
From the initial faceoff, the Wolverines seemed to have the upper hand. Just 3:57 into the game, Kevin Porter gave Michigan its first lead of the night, cashing in on a two-man advantage.
The Maize and Blue outshot the Spartans, 19-6, in the first frame, and earned four power-play opportunities. Unfortunately, they could only escape with a 3-2 lead.
It's hard to look upon a period of dominance like that with regret, but the Wolverines failed to deliver the knockout blow early with a string of four consecutive power plays within the first 10:33 of the game and a 19-6 shot advantage after one period.
"We shouldn't have given up two goals on four shots at one point, but it was just one of those things that happen," said Berenson. "If you looked at the shots and you looked at the score, you wouldn't believe it."
In the end, the game may have come down to just that cashing in on the power play. MSU went 2-2 in the third period to erase a two-goal deficit while Michigan failed to score on three opportunities in the first period and another in overtime.
"They capitalized on a couple of chances that maybe on another night wouldn't have gone in," said Berenson. "You hate to say that they are marginal calls, but they were close calls and we couldn't kill them. We had a chance late in the game and couldn't connect, and it was a game where one team was going to have a break," said Berenson.
"Power plays impacted the game tonight both ways. They took advantage of theirs at one point, and we took advantage of ours late," said Comley.
This game, like the game before, also had a controversial goal. This time the puck bounced in favor of the Spartans, who were robbed of a goal that went through the net last evening. Tonight, video replay proved that Chris Mueller kicked in MSU's second goal.
"I really thought that the one goal that looked like it got kicked in should have been reviewed and the referee didn't seem to understand if he even could in this building," said Berenson. "I don't know what the rule is, but it should be an automatic if you have the equipment and the opportunity."
Referee Brian Aaron was in position to make the call, and was either aware of a CCHA rule denying the use of video replay in JLA for a regular-season game or chose not to review because of his vantage point.
Comley said, "I think he was so emphatic that it was in and fine that he just didn't have a question."
MSU escaped with a tie tonight to preserve a 1-0-3 season series victory against the Wolverines. And after 258 contests all-time, for some reason, these teams seem destined to meet again this season.

One of America's leading baroque violinists, Robert Mealy has been praised for his "imagination, taste, subtlety, and daring" by the Boston Globe; the New Yorker recently called him "New York's world-class early music violinist." He has recorded over 50 cds of early music on all major labels, ranging from Hildegard of Bingen with Sequentia, to Renaissance consorts with the Boston Camerata, to Rameau operas with Les Arts Florissants. At home in New York, he is a frequent leader and soloist with the New York Collegium, Early Music New York, and the ARTEK early music ensemble.
In 2004 Robert was appointed concertmaster of the internationally-acclaimed Boston Early Music Festival Orchestra, and led them in their recent Grammy-nominated recording of Conradi's Ariadne, as well as the critically-hailed premiere of Mattheson's Boris Godenouw. The Boston Phoenix remarked of that production that "the most exceptional music came from the pit. Concertmaster Robert Mealy played more music than anyone onstage or off, every measure of it with erudition and compelling energy."
Robert regularly appears at international music festivals from Berkeley to Belgrade, and from Melbourne to Versailles. A devoted chamber musician, he is delighted to be a member of the celebrated Renaissance violin band The King's Noyse, which records for harmonia mundi usa, and the new 17c ensemble Spiritus Collective, along with Fortune's Wheel. He served for over a decade as an instrumental soloist and leader with the Boston Camerata.
A keen scholar as well as a performer, Robert has lectured and taught historical performance techniques at Columbia, Brown, Rutgers, Oberlin, and U.C. Berkeley. He was recently appointed director of the Yale Collegium, and also directs the Harvard Baroque Chamber Orchestra. For his work with both institutions, he recently received Early Music America's Binkley Award for outstanding teaching and scholarship. Mr. Mealy served for several years as the Hogwood Fellow of the Handel and Haydn Society, to advise on scholarship and performance, and he regularly teaches historical improvisation and technique at workshops across North America.
For more information on his concerts and teaching, visit his website at robertmealy.com.

The U.S. Attorney Mess: Spotlight On Rachel Paulose
Our pink furry friend has outlasted Al Gonzales. Who's his companion in the diptych at left? That's Rachel Paulose, the nation's youngest U.S. Attorney and the subject of a page-one NYT story today.
"If Attorney General Michael B. Mukasey wants to know what he is up against in restoring stability to the Justice Department, he is being urged by the department's employees in Minnesota, as well as by prominent lawyers and law professors here, to consider an early visit to the United States Attorney's Office in Minneapolis," opens the story.
Installed as interim U.S. Attorney in early 2006 (she became permanent in March 2007), Paulose (pronounced "Paul-us") is the subject of an investigation by the federal watchdog U.S. Office of Special Counsel into allegations that she mishandled classified information, retaliated against those who crossed her, and made racist remarks about a support staff employee. Last April, three of her top deputies resigned from their leadership posts.
Of the OSC inquiry, Paulose has said: "I am confident that the truth will be brought to light." A spokesman for the U.S. Attorney's office in Minneapolis told the Times. "Our office is on track and the job is getting done under Ms. Paulose."
The 34-year-old Paulose (Minnesota, Yale Law) worked in D.C. as a senior aide to former deputy AG Paul McNulty. Prior to that, she worked as an AUSA in Minnesota from 1999 to 2002 and, before that, as an associate at Dorsey & Whitney. She clerked for Eighth Circuit Judge James Loken. Born in India, she moved here with her parents, grew up in Findlay, Ohio, and then moved to Minnesota for college.
A. M. "Sandy" Keith, a former chief justice of the Minnesota Supremes and now of counsel at Dunlap & Seeger, has known Paulose since college. He told the Times that he thinks criticism of her could be the result of her age and of sexism. "She's young and a woman, and maybe her style isn't perfect," Keith told the Times. "But she's an extraordinary lady."

College Hockey:Massachusetts Edges Mass.-Lowell
Short-handed Tally Sparks Minutemen
LOWELL, Mass. — For 40 minutes, the Massachusetts Minutemen and the Mass.-Lowell River Hawks were in a back-and-forth battle in front of 4,801 fans at Tsongas Arena. Entering the third period tied at two, back-to-back goals by the Minutemen to open the third stanza proved to be the knockout punch, as they defeated the River Hawks 4-3.
"Obviously, getting the lead and playing with the lead most of the night was a positive for us; we haven't done a lot of that," said Massachusetts coach Don 'Toot' Cahoon, whose team never trailed on Saturday night. "We got good goaltending from [Paul] Dainton which gave us a little bit of a break, and we got some stellar performances from a couple of defensemen, none less than Justin Braun."
It was Braun's short-handed goal at 5:33 in the third that put Massachusetts up 3-2, a lead they never relinquished. It was Will Ortiz's goal three minutes later at 8:30 that proved to be the game-winner.
"It was difficult for us to be constantly playing from behind," said Mass.-Lowell coach Blaise MacDonald. "I give UMass credit; they played hard all night, they capitalized on a lot of loose puck battles, and I thought their goalie played really strong. We were in tight on him and we had a hard time getting by him."
Massachusetts scored the first goal of the night at 12:26 in the first period. A weak shot off the stick of Alex Berry from behind the left circle squeaked through traffic and got past goaltender Nevin Hamilton for the score.
Ben Holmstrom tied the game for the River Hawks at 8:17 in the second period when he redirected a Paul Worthington shot past Dainton. Worthington shot the puck from the right point and Holmstrom tipped it in from Dainton's left side.
The Minutemen took back the lead 2-1 at 13:33 in the period when Chase Langeraap scored from the slot off of a face-off in the River Hawks' zone.
Still battling from behind, the River Hawks tied the game again with just 26 seconds left to play in the period. Worthington took the puck behind the net and got it out to Kory Falite at Daintons left side where he tallied the goal to tie the game at two.
"Once we got it to 2-2 late in the second period I thought, 'Well okay, let's get out there in the third and get going," said MacDonald. "Then to give up a short-handed goal was just, I don't know how that happened."
After Ortiz's goal at 8:30, the River Hawks answered quickly with a goal at 8:54. Nick Monroe went streaking up the left side of the ice and got it to Maury Edwards in the slot, who rifled it past Dainton.
The River Hawks applied pressure as they emptied their net in the game's final minutes, but to no avail.
Next weekend, the River Hawks (9-12-0, 6-8-0 HE) will take on Merrimack in a home-and-home series, while the Minutemen (10-10-2, 5-6-2 HE) find themselves in Vermont for a two game series.

I bought the dress in the Spring of 2013 for my June 2013 wedding. I bought it from the Alfred Angelo Bridal Salon in Huntington Beach, CA for the full asking price. I did have to get it altered in the hips a bit as I am bit busty on top and it was loose around the waist. It did not need to be shortened- I am 5″3 and I wore 3 inch heels and it was the perfect length. I got so many compliments on this dress! The lace is gorgeous, the rouching in the front is very flattering, and the corset back made it easy to adjust to the tightness I wanted. The detail on the sweetheart neckline was just enough so I didn't have to even wear a necklace. As much as I loved this dress and don't want to part with it, I would love someone else to use it and shine on their day, rather than it staying in my closet for 30 years! Email me and I will gladly send you more pictures :)
- Alterations: No damage, it was drycleaned right away, as I said earlier- it was taken in at the waist and hips.
- Preservation Method: It was drycleaned and placed in it's original dress hanger/alfred angelo zip up bag.

Reliability and Durability of Zen V Plus
Hi, I'm thinking about getting a zen v plus, but everywhere I go, I see complaints like the joystick breaking easily, freezing, and problems with media transfer... Is it really reliable? And how long will it last? I want to get an mp3 player than can last a few years...
|[Remove Advertisement]
yeah i have the same concern as well. but that's why i bought it with a 2 year protection plan from circuit city for an extra 20 bucks. i'd say it's totally worth it. if it goes bad within 2 years, just take it back and they give me a full refund with a giftcard which i can use to buy the same player or anything else in the store.. so far i've had no problems with mine though. but to be honest, if you really want something that will last a couple years, the zen v probably isn't the best bet. there are many stories of it going bad(especially the display). but i still got it cause i just like the design alot.
Usually when you read a device's support forums, the vast majority of the threads are going to be about problems. Very few people ever go to a forum to report on how satisfied they are with the device.
Just something to keep in mind as you read through here.
ZenChick - The one them iPod-owners warned you about!
Creative Zen Vision:M 30GB * Creative MuVo N200 1GB * Philips GoGear Vibe 4GB
Resident Linux Geekette ** Got IRC? Look me up on irc.freenode.net #AnythingButiPod
Thanks for the replies. I really fancy the zen V plus because of all the features for a fair price, but I really need something that can last, since I'm going overseas soon... Store protection plans won't help much then.
The problem reports are found quite commonly, especially in customer reviews on websites like cnet. I figured posting this in a support forum might give me some more feedback from zen v plus owners. Some of the people posting reviews don't own the zen v plus.
I bought one end of Feb 07. The display started showing vertical stripes of dead pixels after a couple of days. Think it was the connector. I took it back to the shop & got a replacement which has been fine since. At the time there were several posts complaining of the same problem. Now none. So perhaps Creative fixed that problem in their production process.
Most of the dark-display complaints seem to be for devices a few months old - so maybe Creative have fixed that one too for more recent production. Or maybe the OLED has a short life. Flip a coin...!
I was kind of in your position in reverse - bought it while abroad - and going home a week later. Glad I got it sorted in Japan before I left!
I bought a Zen V(not plus) in September last year, but after 2 months the device didn't turn on anymore(I had been charging it just before I tried to turn it on, so it can't be because the battery was empty. The reset hole didn't work either). I went back to the shop and they immediately replaced it with... a Zen V Plus. Probably it was just a mistake from the employee of the shop, but I'm not bothered by it. My new Zen V Plus still works perfectly, no complaints at all. I never had any problems such as breaking joysticks or bad displays, nor has my friend, who owns the same player.
So I would just say: Problems do occur, but only with a few of the many many Zen's that Creative has sold. But warranty really isn't a bad idea.
After a few years, your Zen's non-replaceable Lithium Ion battery is going to be dead, and you'll probably want to move on to the newest DAP technology, anyway. I expect 2-3 years max out of my Zen V. I'm going on 6 months of almost daily use with no problems (not even a freeze). Maintaining a reliable connection with my computer? Now that's a different story.
Thanks alot guys! I checked it out at a store yesterday, and it seemed a bit fragile to me. I felt like the plastic might crack easily... Anyhow, I've decided against the zen v plus.

Many fingers pointed at Target after the retailer suffered a massive data breach during the holidays, but preventing the next cyber attack is beyond the scope of any single company, according to testimony retail representatives shared with lawmakers on Monday.
The Army & Air Force Exchange Service (AAFES) announced that Lt. Gen. Samuel D. Cox will serve as chairman of the exchange's board of directors effective immediately.
The U.S. Senate approved the long-debated Internet sales tax proposal, known as the Marketplace Fairness Act, by a bipartisan vote of 69 to 27. The Obama administration has already endorsed the bill, but before it can become law it must be approved by the House.
The days of online retailers getting an unfair advantage by not having to comply with state tax laws are numbered as the U.S. Senate has just passed the marketplace fairness amendment as part of the fiscal 2014 budget resolution.
Alan Hoffman, former deputy chief of staff to Vice President Joe Biden, is the new SVP of global public policy and government affairs at PepsiCo.
A lot has changed between the early 20th Century, when John Wanamaker delivered his famous quotation about the inexactitude of advertising, and March 2011, when Chris Calabrese argued for greater consumer privacy protections at a U.S. Senate Committee hearing.
The retail industry won a big victory in Washington, D.C., as the Senate defeated an amendment that proposed to delay swipe-fee reform for another 12 months.
The U.S. Senate Tuesday voted to repeal a law that posed a burdensome tax reporting requirement for businesses.

A domestic violence campaign by artist Saint Hoax shows bloodied, bruised Disney princesses
TAMPA - "And they lived happily ever after..."
Not so according to Middle Eastern artist Saint Hoax .
He is turning the fairytale ending you seen in most Disney movies into a domestic violence awareness campaign featuring battered Disney princesses.
According to Hoax, the awareness campaign is called "Happily Never After" and targets any girl or woman who has been subject to domestic violence. The aim of the poster series is to encourage victims to report their cases in order for the authorities to prevent it from happening again, Hoax explained on his website.
The poster series shows Sleeping Beauty, Cinderella, Jasmine and Ariel with black eyes and blood coming from cuts on their faces. Each poster is accompanied by the caption, "When did he stop treating you like a princess? It's never too late to put an end to it."
The controversial poster series, which was rolled out last week online caught the attention of pop culture website Buzzfeed. An article on the site describes the illustrations as "shocking."
"I think the act of domestic violence itself is shocking," said Hoax in a phone interview with ABC Action News Tuesday. "If we want to tackle it in any way we have to shock the audience in order for us to pass the message across."
Hoax said he did not get Disney's approval to use their princesses. However, he feels they should understand his message that not all relationships have a fairytale ending.
"At the end of the day, this is something I did to influence people in a positive way," he explained.
Hoax will not reveal his identity nor his location in the world.
However, he did give a hint as to what was his inspiration.
"In the Middle East, whenever you open the news you watch a lot of cases of domestic violence that take place almost every day and that just upsets me so much," he added.
ABC Action News showed the campaign to several domestic violence organizations in the Bay area and around the state to get their opinion on the campaign.
"Anything that brings attention to domestic violence and gets people talking is a good thing," said Nicole Worthington with Community Action Stops Abuse (CASA) .
Worthington explained that CASA would never run a campaign like Hoax's because it relies on shock value and they have other methods of educating the public about domestic violence.
"Our model is all about empowerment, so that is not really the empowerment model," Worthington added.
Worthington pointed out that the campaign comes off one-sided and may lead people to believe that domestic violence is only about physical harm and not mental harm. She said depicting just females as victims is also misleading, since domestic violence crosses all socioeconomic and racial lines.
Officials with the Florida Coalition Against Domestic Violence based in Tallahassee reviewed the campaign and took issue with it.
Coalition leaders say they do not show violence in campaigns because it can perpetuate the issue. Additionally, they felt the captions could be construed as victim-blaming.
"Raising awareness and providing education about domestic violence, and empowering survivors with the knowledge that they are not alone and help is available is critical and at the foundation of all FCADV materials," Leisa Wiseman, spokesperson for FCADV, said in a statement.
She added that the coalition believes effective education materials must promote healthy behaviors and provide survivors with information about safety.
Hoax said after talking with experts in the domestic violence field, he has recognized that victims can be of any sex and background. He plans on launching a campaign targeting men who may be suffering from domestic violence.
ABC Action reached out to Disney for comment but did not immediately hear back.

Air Force Medals and Ribbons
Silver Star
The Silver Star Medal (pictured below) had its beginning during World War I. An Act of Congress of July 9, 1918, authorized the wearing by Army personnel of a small silver star, 3/16 of an inch in diameter, upon the service ribbon of a campaign medal, to indicate "a citation for gallantry in action, published in orders issued from headquarters of a general officer, not warranting the award of a Medal of Honor or Distinguished Service Cross." Known in the Army as the "citation star," the award was made retroactive, so that all those cited for gallantry in action in previous campaigns, even as far back as the Spanish-American War, were eligible to wear it.
It is estimated that more than 20,000 members of the Army received such citations before 1918. A similar device was authorized for Navy and Marine Corps personnel in 1920 which authorized a " special letter of commendation" to be awarded on the recommendation of the Board of Naval Award. Receipt of this special letter of commendation authorized its recipient to wear a small silver star on the ribbon of the Victory Medal.
On August 8, 1932, the Silver Star was re-designed as a medal by an Act of Congress. This medal, designed by the firm of Bailey, Banks and Biddle, is a gilt-toned star of five points. On the obverse side in the center, is a small silver star, (the same size as the original citation star) centered within a wreath of laurel. Eighteen rays radiate from the star to the wreath. The reverse of the star has the inscription, "For Gallantry in Action" in raised letters, below which is a blank area suitable for engraving the recipient's name.
The ribbon, one of the most striking of all American awards has a wide center stripe of red flanked on either side by a wide stripe of dark blue, a wide stripe of white, a thin stripe of white and a narrow stripe of dark blue at the edges.
The Silver Star is currently awarded by all branches of the Armed Forces to any person who, while serving in any capacity, is cited for gallantry in action against an enemy of the United States while engaged in military operations involving conflict with an opposing foreign force, or while serving with friendly forces against an opposing Armed Force in which the United States is not a belligerent party.
Army announced that anyone who had previously earned a Citation Star could apply for the Silver Star Medal. Navy and Marine Corps personnel could only apply, if they were awarded a citations star by the Army. The status of the Silver Star was further clarified, when on August 7, 1942, Congress authorized the award of the Silver Star to any person who, while serving in any capacity with the Navy since December 6, 1941, distinguished himself by gallantry and intrepidity in action, but not of a nature to justify the award of the Navy Cross. Four months later, on December 15, 1942, the decoration was extended to Army personnel for gallantry in action, but not of a degree to justify an award of the Distinguished Service Cross.
