Research began in October 2004 to study the durability of Carbon Fibre Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) prestressed concrete for use in the marine environment.
Although CFRP is corrosion resistant, the commonly used epoxy matrix material is permeable to aqueous solutions, which affect its chemical and physical properties. Through modelling and experimental work, the project is assessing the potential effect that the marine environment may have on CFRP prestressed concrete structures. Specifically, sites of concrete cracking are being considered, where prestressing tendons are exposed directly to aqueous solutions.
Further to the work being undertaken at the University of Cambridge, collaborative work is underway with North Carolina State University to investigate the corrosion fatigue behaviour of CFRP prestressed structures.
Given its corrosion and fatigue resistance, CFRP prestressed concrete structures may be specified with long design lives for use in the marine environment. Growth of sectors such as the offshore wind industry provide a niche market where CFRP prestressed concrete could be more cost effective than the industry standard tubular steel towers.Supervised by:

Chile Seasoned Pot Roasted Pork
Submitted By:
{HWTM} Feeding Groom -
2 medium dried ancho chiles, stemmed and seeded
4 medium dried guajillo chiles, stemmed and seeded
2 bay leaves, smashed into thousands of little pieces. .mortar and pestle works best for this
2 tbsp cider vinegar
½ large yellow onion, chopped
4 fat garlic cloves, peeled
2 tsp mixed dried herbs (we use marjoram, thyme, epazote and Mexican oregano)
½ tsp allspice
Good pinch of ground cloves
1 tbsp olive oil
3 pounds lean boneless pork shoulder or Boston Butt
Romaine lettuce
Chopped tomatoes
Sliced Avocado
Corn tortillas
Put the chiles in small bowl and cover with hot water. Let sit for 30 minutes.
Drain and reserve 2/3 cup of the liquid.
Put the chiles and reserved liquid in food processor. Add all the herbs and spices and bay leaves, vinegar, onion and garlic cloves. Process to smooth puree, adding a little water if it gets too dry.
Put large Dutch oven over medium high heat. Add oil and heat til shimmers. Add the herb paste all at once.
Stir for about five minutes until it turns dark and becomes a paste. Remove from heat and season with salt.
Preheat oven to 325.
Cut the pork into slabs about three inches thick. Put in pot with the chile paste and then flip it over to cover with the chile, rubbing it with spoon to get it even.
Add ½ cup water around it, cover and put in the oven. Baste often. Cook about 2.5 hours.
If you need to add more water, do it a little at a time. You want just enough liquid to be able to baste the meat.
This works great in the crock pot on low for 4 hours. So good.
Serve with refried black beans, chopped romaine lettuce, thinly sliced radishes, chopped avocadoes, fresh cilantro, Mexican crumbling cheese and salsa with corn tortillas. It works wonderfully with taco shells, too, in a pinch.

This dress is by Impressions Couture Collection, Style: 12613, Size: 8, Color: Ivory. It was ordered hem to hollow, and I am 5'8″ and was wearing 2″ heels when measured. It was never hemmed after that, so the length has not changed. It has been taken in at the bust (I am a 34B, and it still has "room to grow" haha). There is lace over most of the top portion of the dress, which fades out into tulle at the bottom, and is a fit and flare or mermaid style. It has been professionally cleaned by a cleaner knowledgeable in wedding dress cleaning, however, there are still a few spots at the bottom where the fabric has darkened from the wedding day (it was only worn once). I have tried my best to show the discolorations in the pictures, and it is all at the bottom, and mostly underneath where you cant see it. It has been given an American-style bustle and is really easy to bustle as a result of this, and also coordinates nicely with the style of the dress. I am also including the mermaid slip with crinonline as this helps the dress keep its shape while being worn. The original price of the dress was $1500, including the slip, and the bustle was an additional $100. If you would like additional pictures or have any questions, please let me know.

Sault Tribe chairman Joe Eitrem and Lansing Mayor Virg Bernero announced plans for the Kewadin Lansing casino Monday.
The casino would be owned and operated by the tribe and located in downtown Lansing.
Opponents of the casino, including the Saginaw Chippewa tribe, say the casino cannot be opened legally under existing federal law.
But as MLive.com was first to report Tuesday, outside legal experts believe a unique federal statute that applies only to the Sault tribe could be the key to getting the casino approved.
The casino is expected to create 1500 permanent jobs and 700 construction jobs.
The Lansing City Council will also vote on the deal, most likely in March, city officials said.

My Simple Rule for a Peaceful Life
Peaceful Living
Several years ago I pretty much concluded that there was very little benefit in fighting with people. Since then I have tried to follow the simple rule, Don't Fight With Anyone, and I can honestly say that it has been one of the best decisions I made. I originally decided upon this approach for my job and then, because of how well it worked out, I have carried it into all aspects of my life.
Now don't get me wrong, I do have disagreements with others, and life certainly does find innovative ways to challenge this approach, but as best as I can, I simply refuse to get into long drawn conflicts with anybody. The benefits of not fighting with people are really remarkable. Here are just some of the ways it helps you and others.
Benefits of Peaceful Living:
- Peace, Peace and more Peace. Mental, physical and emotional peace for everyone.
- Prevents wastage of precious time and energy on negative thinking and negative emotions.
- Many more friends, translates into many more opportunities and not to mention, more laughter, joy and kinship.
- Less emphasis on ego and self-centered thinking helps promote spiritual growth, awareness and other mindedness.
- Much better health, as the toxic effects of hate, anger, bitterness are reduced or altogether eliminated from your system.
Over the years, in my own attempt to observe this rule, I found several techniques very helpful in making me choose the path of peace over conflict, and I would like to share these with you below, as you too might find them useful.
Techniques for Peaceful Living:
Don't React: I can't emphasize enough the importance of this approach. For example, when at work the worst thing to do is fire off an email when you are emotional and upset over something. Allow yourself to calm down first, take a walk come back and then respond.
Similarly, at the home front, stop reacting to situations without being thoughtful, listening carefully or giving yourself a chance to digest what the other is saying. Remember also that if a situation, comment or event is upsetting you, look at it as an opportunity to learn how to observe the mind and learn how thoughts play havoc with your emotions and feelings.
- Don't Fear: Fights and conflicts have their roots in the simple pleasure/pain principle. I am using the broadest definition of pleasure/pain here and including psychological pleasures and pains as well, such as security, power, compliments, insults, etc.
Conflicts tend to occur when you are trying to manipulate life to create satisfying conditions and others are coming in the way of this. To combat this try to go with the flow more and remember that the future is a great big unknown. Your worst fears are only in your mind, and you don't really know how life is going to turn out. Maybe that which you fear most as going to happen, is the best thing for you? Let go and see what happens. Here is my practical application of this approach: Embrace Reality and Let the Universe Fulfill Your Desires.
- Forgive: Undoubtedly if you want to avoid fights, you will have to forgive the trespasses of others. There is simply no way around this. That driver who cuts you off, the friend who forgets your birthday, the brother who wont share, etc, etc. Forgive, forgive, forgive, there is no other way. If you need inspiration to do this, read The Time I Met God, Good News & Bad News.
- Sacrifice: This is similar to practicing forgiveness, where you will simply have to at times carry the extra load which another cannot or will not do. Here is an article that expands on this idea: Kundalini Yoga Jesus Pose for Sacrifice.
- Meditate/Exercise/Diet: Very often irritation and the subsequent conflict takes place because of your physical condition and mood. You may simply have a headache, be hungry or tired and thus, be much more susceptible to anger. The best way to combat this is meditation, exercise and a healthy diet. This combo will really help boost your positive energy and help you maintain a good frame of mind, while at the same time helping you deal with stress effectively. Really it's easy to fight, but only the very strong are able not to.
Now I know this is not an easy rule to live by and certainly there will be slip ups, but even just trying will be very beneficial to you. If you decide to challenge the opportunities to fight that inevitably arise in day to day life, you will learn a great deal about yourself and the ways of the ego. You will learn about your attachments, self-image, pleasures, identifications, fears, desires and much much more.
One final thought I want to share with you, is that once you adopt this approach, you will sometimes end up in the strange situation where you are in a fight, except only the other is fighting with you. Tell them to head over to my blog and give this article a read .

The following exercise is inspired by answers to the questions this and this, but no knowledge of probability theory is required. The solution is straightforward assuming familiarity with the relevant theorems/properties. The proof is supposed to be informal.
Let $\hat \varphi (\omega)$ denote the Fourier transform of a function $\varphi$, and $*$ convolution. Express $\hat g(\omega)$ in terms of $\hat f(\omega)$ and a constant $a \in (0,1)$, so that $$ (f_2 * g)(t) = at(f * g)(t), $$ where $f_2 (x) = xf(x)$.

So maybe you aren't a big thinker and the phrase "I think, therefore I am" never really applied to you. We feel you. Often times, we are the captain of that very same boat. So let's join hands and shout to the roof tops a more applicable phrase: I'm glam...therefore I am ($36). There's nothing wrong with putting emphasis on how bodacious and beautiful we are. Benefit Cosmetics just gives us license to do so with an eyeshadow palette, mascara, blush/bronzer and lip gloss (bonus: Girl Meets Pearl mini).

Love is the most powerful force there is and we can never have too much, yet so many say they have too little. Droves of us spend decades searching for it in schools, careers, gyms, nightclubs, and even grocery stores. We're certain that some achievement, or person outside of ourselves, can give us what we so desperately seek. It's a fruitless search.
Love is an inside job. You won't attract genuine and lasting love in the world, until you have it inside yourself. Moreover, you cannot give what you don't have.
To have the love you desire and deserve (yes you deserve it), you must first cultivate it within. Many of us have no idea what loving ourselves really means. We think that we know, but we can't articulate it well. Often we confuse it with living up to the expectations of others. This is self-harming, not loving. Some think self-love comes from standing in the mirror and saying affirmations, writing ourselves notes, or emulating the behavior of people who we think love themselves. These things may support us in practicing loving ourselves, but they aren't enough. Love is a verb, something you do. You must romance yourself until you grasp just how wonderful and worthy you are and fall in love.
Imagine how you would treat yourself if you were a unique being crafted and created by the most divine artist: God. You would honor, cherish, and support yourself. You would refrain from self-criticism, give yourself instant forgiveness, and compassion. You are this divine creation! Take a moment to really grasp this truth. You're a one of a kind, Divine work, the likes of which has never existed and will never be again. You're very important. Own it. This is the foundation on which to build your romance.
In my book, Resurrecting Venus, I wrote:
If you are single, for a month or two, at least, commit to exclusively dating yourself. If you are in a relationship, carve some time out of each day to romance yourself. Practice giving yourself all of the kindness, attention, time, and love you've wanted from others. Lavish yourself. Spend time identifying your good qualities and celebrate everything you admire about you. Reconnect with the child you used to be. Do some of the things she (or he) dreamed of doing. Teach this child what love is by showing her.
Remember the moments in life that opened your heart and bathed you in joy. Whether through a whispering field of flowers, a glob of paint on the tip of a brush, the breath of a puppy, the feeling of dough in your hands, the wind whipping your hair as you raced down a grassy hill, or being lifted by the swelling waters of the sea, somewhere in time, something powerfully moved you. In those ineffable moments, logic gave way to fascination, joy, and revelry. It wasn't a random instance of insignificant pleasure. You were connected to your Source, your true self, and the soul of the world.
Reconnect with who you are and give yourself the experiences you love most. Meditate, do yoga, draw, dance, paint, run on a beach, or take a weekend trip to somewhere beautiful, alone. Romancing yourself is deceptively powerful because when you genuinely hold yourself in high regard, the foundation for every future relationship is laid. The way you treat yourself silently slips through the ethers teaching others how to treat you. On top of that, one who deeply loves oneself, in this ego-free way, is the sexiest person in the room.
Here's to you and the magnificent love you deserve.
~ Cynthia

When: Saturday; kickoff at 3 p.m.
Where: Saluki Stadium, Carbondale, Ill.
TV/Radio: WBCB (CW)/WKBN-AM 570
By Joe Scalzo
Ex-Youngstown State coach Jim Tressel may not have attended Saturday's halftime ceremonies honoring the 1991 national championship team, but his presence was still felt.
Like his predecessor, Jon Heacock, Penguins coach Eric Wolford is learning what it's like when you live in the shadow of Tressel's success.
"There's a standard around here," Wolford said at the beginning of this year's training camp. "You guys know what the standard is. I don't shy away from it. I embrace it.
"We're going to get back to the standard that's acceptable around here."
Since that is the standard Wolford embraced, that is the standard by which this year's team must be measured. And after Saturday's 35-28 loss to South Dakota State — YSU's second straight in conference play and third overall — it's clear the Penguins are nowhere close.
"We just haven't arrived yet," Wolford said. "It's very difficult, as you guys can tell.
"I've coached a lot of football. I've been through a lot of hard times. Good and bad. And I can assure you that this is a difficult loss for myself, our players and our program."
Tressel won two games in his first year in 1986, then won eight in 1987, beginning a run of 10 playoff appearances in 13 years. After Tressel left for Ohio State in 2001, Heacock made the playoffs just once in his nine seasons and was replaced by Wolford last season.
While last year's 3-8 record could be attributed in part to the huge amount of roster turnover that occurred in Wolford's first year, this year's 2-3 start is more puzzling.
And more disappointing, said senior DT Andrew Johnson.
"It does because I feel like we're a lot more talented," said Johnson, one of four co-captains. "I think we have a lot more skills at different positions. I don't feel like we should lose against any team in this conference. That's not being arrogant or anything; that's how I feel our talent level is.
"We've just got to show up."
Considering the team's youth and inexperience, particularly on defense, it's clear that the coaches and players should have done more to temper expectations. (Several players even talked about wanting to win a national championship this year, when competing for a playoff spot seemed like a more reasonable goal.)
Making matters worse, YSU still has November road games against the two best teams in the conference: North Dakota State and Northern Iowa.
Last year's team was marked not just by its close losses, but its ability to stay together and stay competitive even when it was clear that there was nothing to play for but pride. This year's team needs to do the same.
That's what makes Saturday's road game against Southern Illinois so crucial, said junior RB Jamaine Cook.
"You know what happens when things are going downhill like this," said Cook, another captain. "We've got to keep guys together. Because either we're going to come together or we're going to fall apart."
Like last season, YSU's most immediate concern is with its secondary. The Penguins have often looked helpless against spread offenses and allowed a redshirt freshman quarterback in his third start, South Dakota State's Austin Sumner, to torch them for 345 yards and four touchdowns.
If you're wondering how that happened, consider this: Youngstown State started three freshmen linebackers, two freshmen cornerbacks and two safeties, junior Sir Aaron Taylor and senior Scott Sentner, who were starting their first career games.
"We got to find some guys at the right spots somewhere," Wolford said. "I don't know how we're going to do it. But we've got to do something."
In Saturday's postgame press conference, Wolford said the coaches will make some depth chart changes this week. Ultimately, though, there's not much they can do.
Wolford and his staff may eventually build YSU into a perennial playoff contender, but it's clearly not going to happen this year.
"It's a process," Wolford said. "I'm very impatient, just like a lot of people. But I don't think it's going to be an overnight process."
Yes...following Coach Tressel is definitely difficult.
Part of Coach Wolford's problem though is that his arrival seemed to be oversold as the "second coming" and I, for one, feel that was damaging.
An analysis of former head Coach Heacock's record reveals a strong similarity to Coach Narduzzi's record. Both records, again to me, were respectable.
However, the mentality of "playoffs" or "loser" is unrealistic. People supporting YSU football need to get over it and accept the fact that YSU may not be competitive for the likes of the Missouri Valley Conference and seek affiliation with another one. If need be, consider dropping to Division II.
My sympathy to the current coaching staff that must function with a crowd of ignorant "wannabe coaches" who have no particular record of achievement themselves.
I remember before Coach Tressel's arrival talk of dropping football to Division II or Division III and using the money saved to build the basketball program. Can't do that anymore. The only option is to do the FCS non-scholarship route like Butler, Valparaiso, Robert Morris, etc. I don't recommend that, but it is the only other viable option.
I believe Coach Wolford can and will turn the program around. I had hoped we'd see more progress this year, but I believe Coach Wolford is driven to achieve the kind of results Coach Tressel produced. He's shown his ability to recruit. The test will be if he can do what Coach Tressel did which was to make the whole greater than the sum of its parts, i.e., get players to produce more as a unit than they can from their individual performances.
What a bunch of BS above. It's been 20 years since JT was coach, I suppose the shadow is a bit less than under Heacock. Mr Dynamic, Wolford was sold to the faithful only because he was an Ursuline grad with zero head coaching experience. These are now his kids and they aren't performing to expectations. Either he's a bad coach or a bad recruiter or both.
Wolford is being paid $250K to bring a playoff team to YSU. This is unacceptable. Heacock was making $125K and could not get any assistants. They rolled out the red carpet for Wolford and these are the results?? He had no head coaching experience, he is not well liked by many, and is not a winner. If he continues like this for the rest of this season, I recommend that he be fired and replaced with a man with head coaching experience that can win and turn this program around!
Every posting on this topic makes a lot of sense and brings up valid points.
If Coach Wolford is being paid twice what Jon Heacock was, then it seems like we should be getting our money's worth.
Saturday's game against South Dakota gave me the impression our team was either poorly coached or our coaching staff hadn't really boned up on the Jackrabbits' capabilities. A Company Commander I had once observed to us that "once you cross the LD, the 5 Paragraph Field Order is up for grabs. The enemy is playing by their own plan of action and are looking to upset ours". Maybe the same applies here. Sometimes the D or the O has to react to the opponents plans. If our team is dominant, sure, we can force them to play our game. I still felt that we were playing catchup in making adjustments. Either that, or our players need more seasoning.
Me, I'd let him coach this year and next. Then, if we're not possessors of a respectable record and not competitive in a game, it's time for a new talent search.
It isn't easy to be a head coach and not everyone can do the job. That's why they pay decent money to the guy.
C'mon people this is only his second year and the freshman class really is only his first recruiting class. All SDSU did was throw quick slants underneath the safeties all game. First off the linebackers werent falling back to cover the area, second the corners were staying with the receivers, and the safeties never made the tackle that needed to be made. Therefore it was lack of execution by the players which is either a sign of inexperience, lack of talent or both. This will take time and better recruiting classes which will occur soon. Get over the Tressell era its over and he isnt here. Hell he wouldnt even show up for the 1991 20TH Anniversary celebration of our 1st National Title. Also the fans are to blame maybe you should show up support the Guins, get loud and not worry about the next Buckeye game like most of you do. Show these kids and this university some support and for God sake wear Penguins gear to the game. We are YSU not OSU and thats s good thing because this program is in better shape then the one down south.
note to arod....
I agree--JT is on the way back.
He will accept $1 a year for coaching and be given lifetime employment until he decides to retire.
Big (behind the scenes) YSU $$$bags will buy out the current coaching staff and pick up the tab for the new JT coaching staff with no assistant earning less than $300K plus or $1 more than the YSU President whichever is greater.
The Penguin Club will convert all seating in the west stand to chairback seats and charge $750 apiece for them.....means mucho $$$$ for athletics....basketball (both programs will flourish) with added $$$
And the dream goes on and on and on.....
@woolyd I dont care about Tressel. I care about YSU bringing a winning tradition back and Wolford is being paid $250K a year along with his staff being paid big bucks to do that and they are not. How many years should he have?? He promised change and its the middle of his second season and that has not happened. He has had talented kids quit the team because of his coaching style that is not working! I dont hear the players saying they love their coach. This staff was all created through political connections as are some of the players. You pick the best and play the best and YSU is missing that!

TC TO JOHN A. CARLYLE ; 27 February 1840; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18400227-TC-JAC-01; CL 12: 57-60
Chelsea, 27 Feby, 1840—
My dear Brother,
In answer to your hurried Coleraine Letter1 I must send you a little word today; tho' there is nothing very special astir, and I have been belated with what little work I had in view. Some mischievous urchin flung an oystershell thro' one of these windows the night before last; I had become impatient to get it mended, and the Glazier came, just as I was sitting down to my Proofsheets, gerade zur unrechten Zeit [just at the wrong time]! After fretting about, and starving [freezing] me with east-wind for the due space, he has at length departed, and my Proofs are finished too.
You have not made up any resolution for yourself; and cannot of course write anything clearly to another as yet. I can give you no advice; can advise only that you use your best discretion and reflexion; and wish and hope for you a true issue. Tell me at any rate whether you get the Newspapers; whether you want them to be still sent. I can form no notion of your environment, your hours, employments, way of spending the day. Your next Letter will perhaps contain something more decisive in regard to your purposes; if you determine on continuing, we shall gradually learn all things, as composure gradually comes upon you, if you do not say, we shall hope to learn otherwise before long. Again and again I wish you a happy outcome, a resolution that will prove wise and advantageous.
My Printers proceed with tolerable velocity; above a half is now fairly done. Four or five weeks more, and I shall be out of that dirty vortex; a real deliverance for me. Fraser wrote on Saturday last that he hoped to have the Accounts and Papers all sorted for me on Monday; I could then examine them, and the settlement should be on what day I liked to come. This is Wednesday; but no Papers have yet arrived.2 I have kept aloof from him since the first date of my demand; I find it better to rest so till the demand be complied with.— In the next Fraser's Magazine there is to be an article by Thackeray on the Story of the Vengeur: do you see it at Pellipar?
We had such sharp frosty weather, with cutting venomous east-winds, as is enough of itself to make one sickly. Swift walking, with great-coat close-buttoned, is one's only recipe. Jane hardly ventures out at all; tried it on Sunday, amid the sunshine, but very nearly caught a cold. I again, as formerly, cook coffee in the mornings; fully as well to be "in a place by myself" till I have got that operation over! I think I must have back my Horse soon; I shall not get into any right heart till then.— The Macreadys sent us the ticket of their box at Covent-Garden the other night; we two took Mazzini and the Jew,3 and saw Mary Stewart, a rant they call by that name, enact itself,—rather strikingly, so far as Macready was concerned.4 The lady Macready was to have come and "spent the day" here yesterday, her husband to fetch her in the evening; a thing I looked forward to, in my then mood, with real horror: however, there had fallen out some sickness in their house, and there came a shoulderknot to say in the afternoon that "unhappily it was impossible"! I spent the evening, in grateful silence; reading two extremely bad tragedies of Landor's: Giovanna of Naples and another;5 all cracked to tatters by a barren bitterly spasmodic spirit of exaggeration and perversion; calcined, in no kindly fire, into mere cinders and incoherency; among the worst writings I have ever seen by any man of talent.— Hunt's Play still goes on; but I hear whispers that it will not altogether last. Hunt himself we have never seen since it came out. His piece is thin, almost filmy, but worth a hundred of Landor's, two hundred of Bulwer's; and may last as long as it can.
Gerade zur unrechten Zeit [just at the wrong time] once again, comes on our old speculation of a Library here! Spedding has formally given in; I must take the matter up; Forster, Bulwer &c have agreed to act: it seems probable there will be a Public Meeting in a fortnight or three weeks, Lord Morpeth6 in the chair; and so with speechifying and advertising, the thing be fairly tried. I could have wished it at another season, had that not been impossible; for now I am beginning seriously to meditate my Course of Lectures, and have even, or seem to have, got the primordium of a subject in me,—tho' not nameable as yet. And then dinners, routs, callers, confusions; inevitable to a certain length in this mad summer quarter here! Ay de mi, I wish I were far from it: no health lies for me in that, for body or for soul; welfare, at least the absence of ill-fare and semidelirium is possible for me in solitude only! Solitude is indeed sad as Golgotha; but it is not mad like Bedlam. "O, the Devil burn it, there is no pleasing of you, strike where one will!"7
On Sunday last, for example, I had to go to an eight o'clock dinner with certain Stanleys,8 whom perhaps you have heard me speak of; it was not suitable to refuse. C. Buller was there, Fonblanque, Bulwer, Campbell of Islay,9 &c &c. Poor Bulwer did not look nearly so horrible as that night when I saw him in the green light of Macready's cavern:10 he is decidedly human, nay has a kind of intellect faintly indicated about the eyebrows, perhaps too in the afflicted-looking large protrusive eyes; his appearance, adding the long nose and open mouth, the dandiacal apparel, weak padded figure, and adventitious renown, is tragic-gawky. Poor fellow, he has his own battle to fight, like us all. He and I agreed wonderfully well, in the touch-and-go fashion; he seemed desirous to ingrush [ingratiate]11 himself rather than otherwise. Fonblanque is an unproductive smart Town-wit; what he produces is like a pinch of snuff; good only for one minute; nay perhaps you were as well without it even for that minute. Campbell of Islay professed a "desire to be acquainted with me": I saw in him a broad Scottish man, with saloon manners, fat goodhumour; va ben, felice notte [travel well, happy little letter]. Stanley is "Secretary to the Treasury," I think: a lively little fellow; his wife a goodhumoured beauty and coquette. I left them all thoroughly sick, about midnight; and am not well yet.
My Glasgow Pipes arrived;—all smashed to dust! I have written about new ones. Here are two Letters, the last from Annandale. I have written thither.— No more dear Brother today. God keep and guide you! Yours ever

I am studying imbeddings of (connected, undirected, unweighted, multi-)graphs on oriented surfaces of arbitrary genus, and I am searching for a reference for the statement that the dual of the dual graph is the original graph. I have looked at several references, but I have not found a statement that is suitably general for my purposes (and even proofs of the statement are surprisingly rare). In Mohar and Thomassen's Graphs on Surfaces, the authors define graph imbeddings purely combinatorially, using rotation systems, and they do not prove that the dual of the dual of a graph is the original graph, merely stating that this is "clear". In Gross and Tucker's Topological Graph Theory, the authors offer a definition of the dual graph which I do not believe is sufficiently precise to avoid cases where the double dual is not the original graph. Nevertheless they assert that the double dual is the original graph, again without proof.
I have been considering graph imbeddings from a geometric perspective, where the edges are imbedded in my surface as simple curves, and where two edge imbeddings intersect only possibly at common endpoints. Thus, my definition differs from the combinatorial approach, but it offers an increased flexibility: the combinatorial definition will only yield faces that are all 2-cells, where I would like to be able to consider more general imbeddings. In any case, it seems like some sort of double-duality statement is true for these general imbeddings.
Can you point me to a reference which considers graph imbeddings from this geometric perspective, and that actually proves that the double-dual is the original graph? (As a bonus: can someone explain to me whether "imbedding" or "embedding" is the more widely accepted spelling?)

go with Two Degrees, eh?
much cheaper.
Vodafone is poised to grab the Dunedin City Council's cellphone and landline business from Telecom, with the two sides due to sign a contract this afternoon.
The two-year deal, with a one-year rollover, involves 300 mobile accounts.
All up, the council has 981 staff, although not all use dedicated landlines.
The council's data services – currently held by Telecom – are still up for tender, with a decision to be made next month.
"The old way of doing business was the one-stop shop," Dunedin City Council customer services general manager Grant Strang told NBR, elaborating on his decision to unbundled the contracts.
"There's a lot more competition in the market now and a lot more options. It's the right thing to be doing."
The XT effect – or not
The voice services tender pre-dated the series of four XT outages over December, January and February – which hit Dunedin harder than most.
Vodafone's regional sales manager for the South Island, Graham Mearns said it was his company's potential to cut costs, rather than XT problems, which led the council to leave Telecom.
But the problems with XT would certainly have made an upgrade to Telecom's new network less attractive, said Mr Mearns.
"Telecom has lost its cloak of invincibility," said Mr Mearns. "People who would never talk to us before will now listen to us."
The council's Mr Strang said cost reduction was part of his rationale to recommend the DCC go with Vodafone.
The DCC has most of its mobile phones on Telecom's older CDMA network. There will be a three-month transition to Vodafone 3G, with existing phone numbers ported across.
Some staff who are out in the field a lot would lose their landline, and go mobile-only – getting souped up models if they needed to access email, and the council's property and document databases on the move.
When the XT failures hit, "I was concerned as a New Zealander," Mr Strang told NBR. "I felt for Telecom and I felt for the country. But the tender process was already underway."
Getting to know you
The general manager said while price was a key factor, the tender also asked Telecom and Vodafone to detail their customer service options, business continuity plans, backhaul capability, robustness of their networks, and their ability to form a strong operational relationship with the council's IT staff and help desk, among other criteria.
"At the end of it I knew the greatest points of weakness in both networks," said Mr Strang.
The DCC maintains a strong relationship with Telecom, the GM said.
The telco's services division, Gen-i, maintains its hold on the council's back-end systems and other contracted IT services, which are covered by a separate tender to the voice deal being sealed this afternoon, and the data deal being decided next month.
Yes, you are probably correct if they make 2 calls and send 10 TXT messages each month...what were the DCC thinking?
do some more research mate
I agree, 2degrees is nice, but they are a pre-paid company only... They do not have the vision to attract clients like these.. I mean honestly... They could have most of NZ's major companies by now. But no, they want to wait for October.. Bear the cost guys, bear the cost... till they regulate!
Vodafone is doing very well in many countries including the US. Their pricing and services are much better than AT&T. Regards, thyroid symptoms

"For a lot people, even if you're just moderately wealthy, one of your biggest annual expenses ... is financial fees. And people are totally clueless about it."
That's what Motley Fool columnist Morgan Housel tells host Matt Trogdon in the latest episode of Out On a Limb. It's a theme Housel touched on in his recent column, "Finance is a Strange Industry."
Housel noted the danger average investors face because they don't understand how financial fees work. "A lot of people think they're paying no fees at all because they don't get a bill," Housel says. "But they're paying thousands and thousands of fees that are just being deducted from their assets."
Housel recommends that investors read through the documentation they get from their financial managers in order to get a handle on how much they're paying.
Watch the video below for more of Housel's insights on how investors should handle daily stock market updates.

Everybody Loves Evie
Beth Ciotta
2008, Contemporary Romance
HQN, $6.99, 384 pages, Amazon ASIN 037377298XPart of a series
Everybody Loves Evie was a tough book to review. While I enjoyed parts of it and actually laughed aloud at times, the book also was a bit of a mess.
This is the second in Beth Ciotta's Chameleon Chronicle series featuring Evie Parish and, though I haven't read the first book, this one provides the backstory. The series has an interesting premise. Evie was a lounge singer for years in Atlantic City casinos, but now at 41 she finds most of the jobs go to younger women. Through a temporary job, Evie became involved with Chameleon, a covert government organization charged with exposing con artists by employing a mix of former law enforcement agents and reformed grifters.
As the second book begins, Evie is in London with her lover Arch, one of Chameleon's reformed con artists. Evie knows she shouldn't be attracted to Arch - she's a good girl and Arch is a sexy bad boy - but she can't help herself. Evie longs for excitement of all kinds. She also longs to be a Charlie's Angel, and leaps at the chance to leave Arch and go back to the United States to work for Chameleon and its leader, Milo Beckett.
Though the book is told primarily in first person from Evie's point of view, a number of chapters are also told in third person from Milo's point of view. Through these chapters, we discover that Milo is in love with Evie and hopes that she will leave Arch for him. This led me to believe that Milo and Evie would eventually end up together. In fact, I found myself hoping for this, as I liked Milo, and never really liked Arch. Unfortunately, at least in this book, Evie's destiny is Arch.
Eventually, all three, along with a bunch of other Chameleon agents, end up back in Evie's Indiana hometown to expose a con involving the wife of an important senator, while Evie is there to save her mother from a different con artist. Much of the action takes place off stage, with Evie wishing that she could be more involved as Milo and Arch take control. It's fair to say there are some funny scenes in this portion of the book. I also found a brief side story between Milo and one of Evie's friends to be interesting. In fact, I found myself hoping that more time would be devoted to them, and less to Evie and Arch.
I had fewer problems with Evie than with Arch, but she seemed immature for a 41-year old. In one scene, her friend comments "everybody loves Evie." I just wasn't sure why.
While the book technically does have an HEA, I'm not entirely convinced that it will last, and sadly, I don't really care. I honestly just didn't like Arch.

Boyd Devereaux scored his third goal of the season with just 2:23 remaining in the third period to lift the Detroit Red Wings to a 2-1 win over the St. Louis Blues. The win puts Detroit two points ahead of St. Louis in the league standings and into sole possession of the Central Division lead.
The third period was dominated by each team's top two lines, neither the Blues nor the Wings willing to roll four lines with the game on the line. Devereaux came out with Kirk Maltby and Mark Mowers as Detroit's third line late in the game and made good on what little ice time was available. Defenseman Mathieu Dandenault pinched in to force a turnover near the bottom of the right circle anf got the puck to Devereaux, who deflected the puck between Blues goaltender and former Red Wing Chris Osgood's pads, giving Detroit the lead for the first time in the game.
St. Louis had opened the scoring just past the midway point of the first period. With the puck bouncing off a faceoff, Petr Cajanek had a clear lane to the net and blasted a shot past Detroit netminder Manny Legace.
The Wings escaped the period down only one after allowing 12 Blues shots and only taking five.
Former St. Louis captain Brett Hull tied the game with 4:48 remaining in the second period. Chris Chelios picked up the puck in the high slot and sent it to Hull who drifted to the top of the left circle. Osgood couldn't see around a screen and didn't know Hull had the puck, leaving a wide open net for him to blast a shot into.
After being outshot by seven in the first period, Detroit ended up with 28 shots to St. Louis' 22.
The win is Detroit's third in a row. They will next be in action on Wednesday, when Sergei Fedorov makes his first appearance at Joe Louis Arena since signing with the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim. The following night they will be back in St. Louis for their third matchup of the season with the Blues.
Notes: Detroit and St. Louis have split the first two of the six games the teams will play against each other this season. Both teams won on the road... Boyd Devereaux's goal was his tenth career game-winner in just 35 career goals.

In the latest instalment of our weekly feature keeping fans up to date with the next generation of Liverpool stars, we catch up with academy technical director Rodolfo Borrell, fresh from his trip to Qatar.
One of the most instantly-recognisable faces at the club's Kirkby complex, Rodolfo has been at the heart of Liverpool's youth development since 2009.
And in his first weekly column, the Spaniard talks about Qatar, Jamie Carragher's decision to retire and how Fernando Morientes hailed Liverpool's young talents after watching them in action recently...
On Wednesday I returned from Qatar, where I had been for 11 days with our Academy youngsters competing in the Al-Kass Cup.
It was a great experience for the players, the coaches and the staff and there was a very high level of competition including teams from all over the world.
Fantastic clubs and academies were involved, like Real Madrid, Inter Milan, Boca Juniors, Fluminense, PSG and many others.
The facilities over there were unbelievable, as was the organisation. And our lads who travelled were very young compared to a lot of other teams but they did very well. They played some fantastic football with good style - especially in the first four games.
One of our games was against Real Madrid, whose manager is Fernando Morientes - a man Reds fans will know well. It was a fantastic game but we lost 2-1 and we were beaten by a set-piece with eight minutes to go. At the end of the game, it was nice to hear from Morientes and his staff.
Later on in the hotel, he said it was a pleasure to see a British side playing such good football. He and his staff were impressed with the kind of play and the style that we were trying to play. This was great to hear.
But our trip was not all about football. When Frank McParland, academy director, Dee Kundra, Liverpool commercial PR manager and myself were looking at this tournament, we were not only looking at the football side of it, we were also looking at trying to represent Liverpool Football Club in a positive way.
As a club we are always very keen to take on activities in the community. We do this constantly, in Liverpool, in the surrounding areas and around the world - we want to leave our own stamp.
So during our visit, we went to the Shafallah Center, a foundation for excellence caring for children with disabilities, and took part in plenty of other community events and interviews involving local people.
Back in England, we returned to the news that Jamie Carragher will retire from football at the end of this season.
For me, Jamie, along with Steven Gerrard, is the perfect example of what Liverpool Football Club is all about. Ever since I came in here, I have tried to use him as an example, on so many occasions, to my players. I did it with the U18s and I did it when I was manager of the U21s.
I think he is what Liverpool is all about, in terms of focus, mentality, determination, passion for the game and leadership.
Even the careers of great players, sooner or later, have to end and he has decided that this moment is right for him to go. He has shown how great he is, even in deciding on the timing of the announcement. Right now we are in an international break before we go back into the Europa League and so his announcement is perfect timing.
He could have been selfish but he has been thinking of the team. He represents all the values of Liverpool Football Club.
He comes down to watch games at the Academy - his son trains here. But Jamie always tries to be in the background, he never looks for attention. He's usually quiet in a corner, watching his son. I have had the pleasure of talking to him and you can feel his passion for the game when you chat.
In general, the new generations of players don't always have that sort of passion for the game because, unfortunately, there are many other distractions that surround them. He's been a great example to so many young players who have come through.
And the last three years have been a very successful period at the Academy, in terms of producing players for the first team.
A lot has changed recently and I think we have a very good model here now, in the way we play, right through the age groups. We are trying to improve still but I think, as an Academy, we have a very clear identity and everyone around the country recognises that.
At the Academy, we are all very proud of all of the players who go up to Melwood. Jack Robinson was the first one to get through, we kept it going with Jon Flanagan and then later on Andre Wisdom, Raheem Sterling, Suso and also the likes of Conor Coady, Adam Morgan and Jerome Sinclair, who have already made their debut in the first team.
In the years to come, we will look to produce even more.

Consumer Price Index - Calculating Index Changes
|Movements of the indexes from one period to another are usually expressed as percent changes rather than changes in index points because index point changes are affected by the level of the index in relation to its base period while percent changes are not. This example illustrates the computation of index points and percent changes.
|Step 1:
|Calculating the index point change:
CPI- Anchorage 2015
Less CPI for previous period- Anchorage 2014
|Equals index point change
|Step 2:
|Calculating the percent change:
|Index point difference Divided by the previous index (Anchorage 2014)
|1.104 / 215.805
= 0.0051157
|Results multiplied by 100
Percent change (Anchorage CPI 2014)
|0.0051157 *100 = 0.51157

EXCLUSIVE: Business Traveller reviews the new BA First seat
Published: 10/02/2010 - Filed under: News »
Last week I went down to the Cabin Development Centre (CDC) at London Heathrow to look at the cabin mock-up of the new First product being introduced by British Airways. The CDC building is a brutalist concrete monstrosity,
and the interior certainly isn't plush either,
but then this is an engineering centre, not a marketing suite. The mock-up is housed in its own cabin
The photos shown here are ones taken by me, both with a flash and without, and also are of a mock-up which has undergone many changes, and so is showing a little wear around the edges. There are also certain panels, covers and decoration absent which I think is obvious.
The roll out
The new seat is being introduced on a B777 aircraft which will initially fly on London Heathrow to New York, but may well fly other sectors. If you want to experience it before anyone else, then you will need a fair amount of inside knowledge and luck because it will only be on this one aircraft for the next 90 days – the length of time it has to fly before gaining CAA approval. The plan is for all the B777 aircraft which have First on board to be fitted with the new First cabin, and then the B747-400 fleet will follow, with a total time of around two years. Each B777 refit takes 10 days, and only occurs when the aircraft goes for a full maintenance break. In total 73 aircraft will be refitted, and the new B777-300ER aircraft which will be coming this year will also come fitted with the new First (and a new IFE system – Thales, but that's another story).
Why now?
Obviously timing is a tricky thing, with the news of the latest ballot for industrial action for Unite coming in February with possible strike action in March. So why introduce it now? The answer seems to be that BA believes that it wants to be ready for when the worldwide economy does recover, and those individuals flying First want the best now. In addition, although ClubWorld might be seen by many as BA's archetypal product, it is First which is the flagship.

The new FIRST really does look truly amazing

I am impressed; the new windows are innovative, and it looks clean, contemporary and more spacious than previous iterations.
Are the loos getting a revamp, too? Did you get to see those?
azrealjv - 10/02/2010 20:34
hopefully the washrooms will be re-wamped... i usually end up whacking my elbows, while trying to change in that travesty of personal space being called a "wahroom"... there is a clubworld washroom on the right side of the 747, between the 1st &2nd clubworld which is more spacious... by 1/2 a foot. i can just immagine what the rest of the washrooms after the cw cabins must be like :(.
but in all honesty, the new first does look simple, classic and elegant.. very british!
ihearttravl - 10/02/2010 21:25
looks good!
trekster - 11/02/2010 12:03
Very Very impressed with this new cabin. I flew F last November and the cabin was certainly showing its age, but was nice and comfortable. This cabin, well, WOW. Lots more space, with the same amount of seating. Very Impressed BA
LPPSKrisflyer - 11/02/2010 19:27
The windows are different, the rest looks like an upgrade of the existing product which was innovative but is now tired and out of date. Others still have a far superior offering in First. The roll out time is also unacceptable.
nevereconomy - 12/02/2010 20:47
BA First has never been for the flashy gimic lover. The new cabin keeps that same low-key approach, which is what I and many others prefer. The cabin-with-doors is not for me on a long journey and i can manage 12 hours without a shower. I don't need an in-seat mini-bar because BA crew will bring me a drink with a smile any time I choose. Good work BA - can't wait to try it.
VintageKrug - 25/02/2010 08:21
BA stated "we don't do bling" in the context of the new First design.
I think that says it all. Good stuff!
Ground handling improvement next on the list, and we will have a genuinely premium experience once again.
I am booked on the BA 10 Syd to Lhr on 16 Dec 2011 which is a 747-400. I normally fly J class but wanna treat myself in F. Maybe I should rebook the BA16 which is a 777. Has anyone flown this route? Is the new FIRST cabin configured?
VintageKrug - 21/09/2011 14:20
Interesting "inside track" photos here.
To be clear this is a completely re-designed and brand new seat, which has no parts common to the previous iteration as evidenced by the patent filing by BA for this new offering:

Located on the Country Club Plaza in Kansas City, Missouri, sits an unsuspecting restaurant among the variety of many other restaurants. However, this one stands out due to the quirky menu items not usually available in this area. Gram & Dun is a quaint but comfortable restaurant serving unique dishes with a southern flair.
From start to finish, there are a wide variety of items to please everyone's taste. For appetizers, give the Asian Pig Wings a try. Using pork shank osso buco, this tasty cut of pork is coated in a sake soy glaze and served with sambal (a spicy sauce) and cilantro. It's much meatier than chicken wings, so don't be disappointed when the plate comes out with only 4 "wings." This is the most popular appetizer, but there are plenty of other choices. Wild Boar & Bison meatballs, French Onion dumplings and Croque Madame Fondue, which is great for sharing, are a few more choices.
For the main course, it's difficult to decide with so many traditional and unique options. If you are looking for some famous Kansas City BBQ in your meal, the Short Rib Grilled Cheese or the Burnt End Mac & Cheese are two options. If you are looking for a taste of the south, the Blackened Shrimp & Grits or Chicken & Waffles are two outstanding dishes.
For a meal you won't find anywhere else, try the Jerk Pheasant. This dish can only be described as Midwest meets The Caribbean. Chef de Cuisine, Nathan Nichols explained the idea behind this dish. After returning from a visit to the Cayman Islands, he still had island fever, so he asked a member of the kitchen staff who is from Jamaica to create a traditional jerk seasoning. The end result is an amazing plate bursting with Caribbean flavor and served with southern fried rice.
If there is room left, the dessert menu may be small, but it won't disappoint. The Citrus Dreamsicle is a new addition but has quickly become the favorite. Lemon poppyseed cake topped with blood orange sorbet and vanilla bean ice cream with a drizzle of curd is sweet but light. Crack Pie, as the name implies is delicious and addicting. It's an oat cookie with salted custard served with graham cracker coconut ice cream.
Gram & Dun also offers a variety of after dinner coffee drinks featuring Roasterie Air - Roasted coffee. Dessert wines, cognac and brandy are offered as well.
With a price range of $12.00 - $30.00 per person and valet parking, it's fine dining but not at fine dining price. With comfortable seating inside and an outdoor patio that was voted a favorite, Gram & Dun is a great place for all seasons.

Just played minecraft for 14 hours straight. Huzzah.
I went on holiday just after modding the game to have palm trees then I fell asleep on the beach and thought i was on minecraft and started punching the sand. Also at school me and my friends __minecraftian__ and errrrrrrrrrwhat ruined social dancing by minecraft dancing lol i remember the flying scottsman we made a arch by puncing eachothers hands a lot
This game is by far the best game in the world and now all i want is to play!!! I have case studies to do but Minecraft is more fun!

I used to be awesome in school , I always get High Grades , not a single Fail on a quiz... Until... I started to punch my first tree
When I started playing Minecraft, I only played it occasionally, and for a few hours. I tested 50 something percent of Minecraft addiction. Recently, though, I have been playing Minecraft for days on end, and I tested 81%. But recently I screwed my computer. I am slowly going crazy! I am losing all my money going to my local Internet cafe. I haven't tested myself recently but it would be in the 90's.
I am scared everything I look at is blocky or minecraft related I saw a bit of sandy red dust and started punching thinking it was redstone and I saw a teenager wearing a hoodie all covered In black walked right away from him thinking he was an enderman it goes without saying
I TESTED 100% POSITIVE FOR MINECRAFT ADDICTION xD
I've killed all of my friends in hopes of gaining XP to enchant my weapons with.
I jumped off a 23-meter building knowing that I'd survive the impact with half of a heart left. I blacked out on impact. After 4 months in the hospital, I still can't figure out why my full hunger bar didn't help heal me.
I refuse to make eye contact with tall people dressed in black.
I woke up and saw a ghast in my room. I screamed and my mom came in. I was like uhhh... nothing...
I have a minecraft addiction. I start playing minecraft in the morning (weekends) I play for what feels like 30 min ending up to be all day. On weekdays i play as soon as I get home from school.
Played since alpha, still madly in love with it. I WILL NEVER LET IT GO FROM MY HEART!
Im 45% chance of minecraft addiction.
One time I skiped my homework for 5 weeks and had to make it up in school!
So I'm Trying to Do my homework and am
doing ok!
My friend was addicted. So I said, how bad could it be? And now I'm the addict.
I am indeed addicted. I can remember my first few days of playing when I didn't even know what a creeper was. Today I'm like "Hey hand me that Diamond Sword and about 32 stacks of Obsidian so I can trapsplode the creeping bastards?"
I can handle my addiction but I'm starting to slip deeper into it.
I have never played on Peaceful due to the Herobrine myths
Believe it or not, I AM ADDICTED TO MINECRAFT!
I don't care if it says 36% positive! More like 36% negative for me!
Right now I hate the game since it takes up 1-4 hours of my free time.
I hate it and like it so much that I FULLY AGREED to STOP PLAYING ON NEW YEARS DAY (not new years eve smart guy) Fuck Notch. He almost ruined my life!

Expectations are high for this month's Thief reboot, which is aiming to be an even bigger experience than the series has offered before. It's already been stated that much of the exploration to be done in The City will be optional, however we haven't heard much as to how The City may change over time. We recently sat down with Eidos Montreal's Daniel Windfeld Schmidt, who acted as lead level designer on this game, and asked how the player's choices will effect the City, and how the game will convey these consequences.
Large rewards are always accompanied with huge risks and [Garrett] often finds himself in the middle of political conflicts on these well-paying heists. As Garrett completes jobs and the story progresses, the world will start to be shaped by the changing political tide and overall unrest in The City.
As to how The City will change over the course of one's playthrough is still unknown. However, we do know that the Hammerites and Pagans will be returning in some subtle way, leading us to speculate whether their presence will have anything to do with the player's actions throughout the story. These questions will all be answered shortly when Thief launches for the PC, Xbox 360, Xbox One, PS3 and PS4 on February 25th.

College Hockey:Catamounts Control Huskies
Madore Stops 28 in Victory
BOSTON — Vermont edged out fellow Hockey East rivals Northeastern, 3-2, at Matthews Arena on Friday night in front of a crowd of 2,054. While both teams were tied at fifth prior to the puck drop, the win vaulted Vermont into fourth place in Hockey East while the Huskies dropped to seventh.
I was really impressed, said Vermont head coach Kevin Sneddon. We had a tough week at practice. We were really tough on our guys after the loss to UMass, and we wanted to make sure we got our point across. I was a little concerned about our energy level, but it looked like we had a lot of life to the end. Thats how we should play every night.
The Catamounts were the first to score early on in the first period. Vermonts Brayden Irwin sent an unassisted rocket from the right circle past Chris Rawlings on an odd-man rush three and a half minutes into play.
Towards the end of the period, Jack Downing put one in the net for his team with the help of fellow front men Brian Roloff and Sebastian Stalberg making it a 2-0 game. Roloff passed to Stalberg who missed his shot off of Rawlings. Downing grabbed the rebound and flipped it in past the netminder to tally his third goal of the season. Both goals were scored at full strength.
The Huskies werent without their scoring opportunities in the first. Tied with the Catamounts with 11 shots apiece, the Huskies managed to get the puck in the attack zone for some close calls, but were unable to follow through. Jake Newton sent a rocket off the Vermont goal post, nearly sending it flying over the glass into the crowd.
Nearing the halfway mark of the period, the Huskies cut the Catamount lead to a goal.
Kyle Kraemer scored his fifth goal of the season as he snuck one past Rob Madore with a little help from blueliners Jake Newton and Drew Muench. But the Catamounts were quick to respond a minute and a half later as Freshman David Pacan sent an unassisted bullet from the circles to the upper left corner of the net re-establishing Vermonts two goal lead.
It was Pacans fifth of the season.
The last couple of games hes started to get his confidence, said Sneddon. He had a big goal tonight, but more importantly, I just liked the energy he brings to that line. I thought he was physical and was hard to knock off the clock.
Despite being handed two back-to-back power plays at the beginning of the third period, the Huskies went 0-4 on the man advantage for the game thanks to the impressive Catamounts kill.
On a pass from Drew Muench, Justin Daniels skated side-by-side into the attack zone with Wade MacLeod. After a series of quick, sharp passes Daniels snuck the second Husky goal of the night past Madore cutting the lead to one again. But it would be too little too late for the Huskies, and the damage done in the first period would be enough to give the Catamounts the win.
They did a terrific job killing penalties, said Northeastern head coach Greg Cronin. Ive said all year long that if your power plays end up in the net scoring, you can have those sloppy nights and still win, but we didnt do that tonight.
Vermont will look to keep their newly gained momentum going as they host Yale on Monday night at 7:05 p.m. The Huskies will use the week to rehab some injuries, and will look for a fresh start at Merrimack next Friday night at 7 p.m.

Classroom Resources
I was educated,
trained, and certified to be an engineer.
my soul was that of a teacher/ educator. This is why
I want to teach.
I Want To Teach
modern world has created many areas where one can enter and
have an impact on the society in which we live. You can pursue
fame, fortune, or just the piece of mind that comes from knowing
that you have made an important contribution to society.
is one area where your impact can have the most far-reaching
effect. A teacher is in a position to inspire students to
be all that they can be. I can envision myself as a teacher
with the power to unlock the hidden potential of any and all
students. I personally believe that all students can be turned
on to learn and succeed if the teacher is determined and persistent
in his or her efforts to find that one spark that all students
need to ignite their genuine thurst for knowledge.
am not niave enough to think that the task of a teacher is
easy or that every case will result in immediate success.
I do know that the opportunity to find and develop the desire
for learning will pay off by making better students and ultimately
a better society. A teacher can have this kind of effect by
taking advantage of the opportunity with some while attempting
to inspire all.
I want to become a teacher, not for the great pay, nor for
the praise of my students, but for the opportunity to do something
that would enable others the opportunity to as the army says,
"be all that they can be." For I strongly believe
in the slogan of the United Negro College Fund; "A mind
is a terrible thing to waste."

"The Abyss: The Deluxe Edition"
Soundtrack Review
Varese Sarabande Club
Disc 1: 19 Tracks/Disc Time: 56:50
Disc 2: 19 Tracks/Disc Time: 57:28
Total Set Time: 114:08 Grade: B
In the crowded, yet disappointing Summer of 1989 James Cameron unleashed what would be a film that was way ahead of its' time and would be surrounded by some controversy. That movie was "The Abyss", Cameron's follow up for Twentieth Century-Fox after the success of the successful and brilliant, yet troubled production of the hit sequel to "Alien", "Aliens". The film was Cameron's version of "Close Encounters Of The Third Kind" underwater as the film begins with the disappearance of a nuclear submarine and the Navy soon enlists a deep sea oil rig crew lead by roughneck Bud Brigman (Ed Harris, "GlenGarry Glen Ross") along with his soon to be ex-wife Lindsay (Mary Elizabeth Mastantonio, "Scarface") and Bud's rag tag crew under the command of the nonsense Lt. Coffey (Michael Biehn, "The Terminator", "Aliens"). While the crew searches underwater for the missing sub, Bud and the crew begin to encounter some weird activity and start to encounter some creatures unlike they've never seen before. They soon figure out that they are aliens here for a specific reason and soon Coffey panics and brings about a conflict that would endanger the lives of the crew. Bud soon finds a way to distinguish the conflict and soon goes an expedition to fulfill the mission and finds a life altering experience that will change his life.
The film was a minor hit despite the fact that the film was trauncated to a modest 139 minute running time which was good, but not as impactful. However, Cameron would revisit the film soon after making "Terminator 2: Judgment Day" along with "Aliens", restoring "The Abyss" to the way he had intended to release it at close to the original three-hour running time which wowed critics this time around as this version of the film made its' debut on Laserdisc and eventually would resurface on VHS and DVD utilizing the full aspects of the format. A Blu-Ray of the film is due to come out sometime this year by Fox Home Entertainment which has been long overdue.
James Cameron had a rather trying experience on "Aliens" as much as Oscar Winning Composer James Horner did, as they clashed over the unfinished product for the film and ultimately having to write everything virtutually at the very last minute testing Horner's patience. This time however, Cameron had a much easier time working with the easy going and consumate composer that is Oscar nominee Alan Silvestri, who had been coming off a string of memorable scores that included "Romancing The Stone", "Back To The Future", "Predator" and "Who Framed Roger Rabbit?", which would change the face of film forever when it comes to blending live action with animation much like "Avatar" would revolutionize 3D again. "The Abyss" was definitely a different movie animal in that the film was mostly about characters more so than the grand special effects that would eventually dominate the final hour or so of the film. Silvestri approached the film in two ways: one is purely electronic which provides both atmosphere and awe for most of the underwater sequences and the second is a pure robust and dramatic score that really does take over during the final hour of the film in sweeping epic form.
Starting with the lovely chorus of "Opening Title" led by the lovely vocalist Sally Stevens, which gives way to a full orchestrial triumph and sets up the score's main theme is followed up by the suspenseful and mysterious "Montana/Crash/Flood" with its' somewhat frenetic orchestration that leads and builds up to a powerful crescendo of drama. Then Silvestri introduces us to Coffey and his crew's arrival in full military mode in "Marker Bouy/They're Coming" which gets a fuller and expanded version of the theme in Mirv Recovery/SEAL's Return". The score really takes off in both atmosphere and tension with the tracks "Let Me Drown Your Rat/Search The Montana", "Here's Mirv/Some Huevos", "Have To Take Steps/Jarhead Is Watching", "Coffey Break", "Coffey Implodes" and "Freeze" which really mix alot of the big orchestrial material along with some errie synthesizers that really help the instrumentation achieve the drama and suspense of what's on screen. Silvestri switches to an action driven mode utilizing his percussive electronics as he had done on many of his 80's action scores in "The Fight" which is for a neat underwater fight between Bud and Coffey. Silvestri underscores the close encounter sequences pretty much the same as he approached "Predator" with tense strings, brass and percussion in the tracks "Lindsey's Close Encounter", "The Pseudopod" (which is my favorite track of the entire score that builds to a playful tender mood and cluminating with dark strains of suspense), " Bud's Big Dive", "Bud On The Ledge", Bud Reborn/Blinky Bows", and "Back On Air" which which also feature the tension and suspense as earlier tracks on the album. Silvestri also includes some serious drama in "Resurrection", a track that features hammering percussion leading to a tender conclusion. "Finale And End Credits" ends this powerful score on a high note with a reprise and expansion of the main theme to a rousing and choral filled conclusion.
Varese's newly expanded release of the score is one long in coming after the original album went out of print sometime ago which was a very solid representation of the score for its' then lengthy 47 minute running time which was somewhat unheard of for an L.A. recorded score for the label. This time around this deluxe edition features the score in its' most complete form which features alot of music that either please fans of the score or disappoint most. I personally like alot of the extra music which was sorely missing from the original album and also the fact that its' remastered makes one heck of a difference since the album was mixed somewhat low, but also take into account that the engineering then wasn't as potent as it is today, so I'll give it some slack on that end. "The Abyss" is a score that really deserves the deluxe treatment as many of Varese Sarabande's albums deserve, but this one a very solid and intriguing musical spectacle that works all the way. Recommended. Thumbs Up!
