Columbian opens its season with Clyde for the second-straight year, meeting a squad that mirrors the Tornadoes in many ways.
Like Columbian, the Fliers lost a pair of regular season games, and like Columbian they advanced to the playoffs.
Clyde's season also ended in a tough loss. It fell to Eastmoor in the Division III regional semifinals, 14-12.
One of the Fliers 2011 losses came to Columbian, a 26-13 loss in the first week of the season.
Now the teams meet again, this time in Clyde.
"The similarities between the two programs are pretty strong," Columbian coach Brian Colatruglio said. "I think we both have the same kind of kids. Neither one of us is producing a lot of Division I talent; we're both always right there in the mix, making the playoffs and winning league titles. I think we both get a lot out of the type of tough kid that we have."
One of those kids is Clyde running back Brad Smith, who ran for more than 2,000 yards a season ago in being named Sandusky Bay Conference player of the year.
Smith first emerged in last season's game between Clyde and TC, rushing for 99 yards and a touchdown. But he didn't start the game, doing most of his damage after halftime.
Colatruglio said after that game, Smith became a major part of the Fliers' offensive identity.
"He's the focal point," Colatruglio said. "He's a hard, tough runner. He really cuts well. If we don't stay in our gaps and tackle people, he can rip some big runs."
Because of Smith's success a season ago, Colatruglio said the Fliers "simplified their offense," and the coach said he expects to see that tonight.
"They're gonna run a million formations, but only a handful of actual schemes," Colatruglio said.
The mentor is expecting to face a gritty Clyde defense.
"They've always played really good defense," Colatruglio said. "It's a staple of their football team. Offensively they may go from year to year, but the one constant has been their defense."
Clyde has a couple of strong inside linebackers - Thomas Glick and Bennett Brown- who Colatruglio said TC needs to contain.
"Two really, really good high school football players," he said. "We have to get those two guys blocked. There's no secret to that."
The coach said TC will use the ground game on offense, which makes sense with Jack Jacoby and Ryan Lynch coming back after big seasons.
"We want to establish the run; we want to keep ourselves a little ahead of the chains there," Colatruglio said. "One thing I'm very pleased with in scrimmages... I think we had one penalty and no turnovers."
Colatruglio said the players and coaches are ready to get going.
"It's been a long offseason, a long camp, two-a-days," Colatruglio said. "We're anxious. I am as much as the players. We're anxious to get out there and play under the lights."
Kickoff is at 7 p.m.

Confronted with a "severe budget crisis ... unlike any we have faced historically at this site," in the name of a $175 million shortfall, Savannah River Nuclear Solutions released a comprehensive plan to employees Thursday, outlining the impacts on them and the Department of Energy site's missions.
SRNS President and CEO Dwayne Wilson sent a video message to all employees regarding the shortfall in the fiscal year 2013 budget, and addressed the impacts and expectations regarding holiday time off and the cooperation of staff.
"SRNS is in a severe budget crisis, very urgent in nature, unlike any we have faced historically at this site," the response from SRNS reads. "Regarding the holidays, management is expected to ensure minimal necessary staffing to support ongoing deliberate operations."
"The decision to reduce staffing during this period is an attempt to ease the impact of budget shortfalls and avoid further actions. Everyone is expected to join the effort to avoid more drastic measures," SRNS' response continued.
The plan to have employees take vacation leave over the holiday period is one that has less impact than a regular week on workers, but saves SRNS substantially.
Thanksgiving week contains two paid vacation days, Thanksgiving Thursday and the Friday after. With employees taking three vacation days, they are at home for the week while burning only three days of vacation time. Add to this that vacation leave was renewed at the start of the fiscal year, Oct. 1, so employees still will have a majority of leave after the holiday period.
"The expectation is that every employee who can be off during the holidays, will be, including leadership," SRNS' response said. "The priorities are first to meet regulatory commitments, then to ensure continued operations at H Canyon and retention of core competencies at the Savannah River National Laboratory."
In outlining the actions, SRNS Senior Vice President of Corporate Services Jim Hanna said that 341 employees participated in the previous voluntary separation program. The management and operations contractor has also significantly reduced staff augmentation and construction craft support by more than 450 positions. SRNS has also cancelled service contracts and reduced overtime shifts.
These efforts have "closed the funding gap by over $70 million, but a substantial shortfall remains," according to SRNS.

Recent advances in vascular surgery have made many previously hopeless lesions of the thoracic aorta amenable to surgical correction. A major need exists, however, for improvement in the radiologic visualization of suspected lesions of the thoracic aorta. The purpose of this paper is to present a new method for thoracic aortography, utilizing the right supraclavicular approach.
Although a number of techniques have been employed in performing thoracic aortography, none seems to be entirely satisfactory. Retrograde arterial catheterization and injection of a radiopaque dye via the carotid artery,1 the radial artery,2 or the femoral artery3 often provide adequate visualization of the thoracic aorta but require operative arteriotomy and occasionally ligation of the vessel. Percutaneous parasternal aortic punctures are technically difficult and involve the risk of coronary perfusion.*
Recently Wickbom6 reported a simple direct method of percutaneous aortic injection via a cervical approach, with the needle paralleling the

In a new sign of trouble for the rollout of President Barack Obama's health care law, a Gallup poll shows most uninsured Americans have not tried to use the Affordable Care websites.
Only 18 percent of the uninsured have visited an exchange website. And only 22 percent say they plan to get insurance through the exchanges.
Gallup also found that about 1 in 4 Americans say they are more likely to pay a fine instead of getting insurance.

Boxings governing bodies. Some history on the alphabet boys.
17 weightclasses and 68 'world' champions (potentially more if you include small governing bodies such as IBO, WBF etc.). That's the chaotic situation in professional boxing today.
How did it get this far?
Some objective info FYI regarding boxings socalled governing bodies.
WBA (World Boxing Association): Based in Venezuela. It's the oldest and most renowned (if such a term can be used regarding these guys) organization. It was founded in 1921 as National Boxing Association (NBA) and was renamed WBA in 1962. Famous champions include Jack Dempsey, Joe Louis and Rocky Marciano.
Confusion is the keyword when the organization is described these days. They have a 'Superchampion' when one of their champions unifies against one of the other 3 major beltholders. The regular title is then placed in a new championship fight pitting 2 lower-ranked fighters.
WBC (World Boxing Council): A decadelong struggle between between WBA and the powerful New York State Athletic Commision let to the founding of the WBC in 1963. But it took untill 1978 before the organization crowned it's first heavyweight champion in Ken Norton. Before that the WBA champion was also the WBC champion. The organization is based in Mexico.
IBF (International Boxing Federation): This organization, which is based in New Jersey, originates from one of the many regional federations of the WBA. In 1983 the president of the United States Boxing Association, lost the election as the chairman of the WBA during the annual convention. As a protest he founded the IBF.
One of the great IBF champions is Felix Trinidad who was the IBF champ from 1993 to 2002.
WBO (World Boxing Organization): The WBO was founded in 1988 and is also an offspring from the WBA. There was a minority within the organization which wasn't satisfied with certain rules and regulations within the WBA. WBO is based in Puerto Rico.
The WBO rankings contained in the 1990'ies primarily european fighters and to this day is not in the highest regard in the United States although it's rising.

A Vazquez victory forecasted in Uruguay but with 'orthodox economics' threatened
The Economist Intelligence Unit anticipates a 2015 scenario in which Tabaré Vazquez from the ruling coalition will most probably be president, but in a situation quite different from that of his first mandate (2005/2010) if he insists in implementing orthodox economics.
This will cause divisions in the left leaning ruling coalition which will make the implementation of policies, 'complicated', says EIU.
Vazquez will need the support from the most radical elements and strong backing from his party to ensure a comfortable victory in the primaries which should reduce the threats to governance beyond the October presidential and legislative elections.
In this context, the EIU speculates that a scenario potentially beneficial for Vazquez could imply the election of Senator Constanza Moreira as his running ticket mate.
But this would not make things easy further on, if Vazquez pretends to continue with the orthodox approach in economy policy, which characterized his first mandate, since this could face strong opposition from a very left leaning vice-president.
In such a scenario divisions within the ruling coalition would persist during his five year mandate, which further complicates the drafting of policy, says EIU.
In the two governments of the ruling Broad Front, the management of economic affairs was in the hands of the Liber Seregni Front, FLS, and the moderate wing of the Socialists, with economists Danilo Astori, Fernando Lorenzo, Mario Bergara and Alvaro García.
Anyhow during the current mandate of president Mujica the now former Economy minister Fernando Lorenzo was challenged by the Planning and Budget Office, (next to the president) which had a different focus with other proposals.
According to the EIU the main challenges faced by Vazquez are from inside the coalition and the standing divisions between the moderates and the most radicals in the extreme left.
If Vazquez wins the primary and can take advantage of the support both from the faithful voters of the coalition as well as from the independents, it can be expected he should enjoy a comfortable victory.
Finally according to the latest public opinion polls, which have been showing a consistent tendency, Vazquez leads comfortable and is expected to face Pedro Bordaberry from the Colorado party and Jorge Larrañaga from the National party.
However since Larrañaga was defeated in two consecutive presidential elections, his chances of victory are limited.
Likewise Bordaberry and his party most probably are too far to the right to close the vote gap from an electorate that in the last decade has moved to the left, and with an economy that has not ceased to grow since 2003.

Judge won't dismiss murder charge against bride
Judge won't dismiss murder charge against bride
MISSOULA, Mont. -- A federal judge on Friday rejected a Montana woman's request to dismiss her murder indictment for pushing her new husband off a cliff during an argument in Glacier National Park.
Jordan Graham testified earlier in the hearing that she instinctively pushed Cody Johnson away when he grabbed her arm, causing the July 7 fall.
U.S. District Judge Donald Molloy rejected Graham's motion to dismiss the indictment or at least the first-degree murder charge. The judge dismissed another motion by prosecutors who sought a delay in the Dec. 9 trial while they awaited the results of DNA tests on a piece of cloth found near Johnson's body.
Graham, 22, and Johnson, 25, had been married for eight days when they argued over her doubts about the marriage, prosecutors said. The couple took the argument to Glacier National Park, where Johnson at one point grabbed Graham, and Graham removed his arm and pushed him in the back and off a steep cliff, according to the criminal complaint.
North Dakota on pace to break oil production record
BISMARCK, N.D. -- North Dakota oil drillers are on pace to set record annual crude production for the sixth consecutive year and are nearing a milestone of a million barrels of oil a day.
The state Department of Mineral Resources said Friday that crude production through September totaled 226.1 million barrels, down only 17 million barrels from the record 243.1 million barrels produced in all of 2012.
The agency said crude production in September totaled a record 931,940 barrels a day, or nearly 28 million barrels for the month.
September statistics are the latest available because oil production numbers typically lag at least two months.
Funeral held for Ohio boy who got early Christmas
PORT CLINTON, Ohio -- Schoolmates helped fill an Ohio church to overflowing Friday for the funeral Mass for a boy whose city put up lights and sang carols to fulfill his wish for an early Christmas.
More than 300 students from Port Clinton Middle School attended the service at Immaculate Conception Roman Catholic Church for 13-year-old Devin Kohlman. Devin, who had brain cancer, died Monday.
Carrie Sanchez, principal of the school, said students attended as a group or with parents.
Devin returned home after doctors said he didn't have long to live, and his community put up a Christmas tree, and Santa showed up on a motorcycle. Shaved ice mimicked drifting snow outside Devin's window.

With Round 1 of the 2013 NFL Draft proving to be as thrilling and frantic as many expected, Rounds 2 and 3 shouldn't disappoint.
From Sharrif's Floyd drastic drop to the bypassing of Geno Smith, the first round was nothing short of surprising. In fact, anticipation should be at all time high, with only one quarterback drafted on the first day, that being E.J. Manuel of course.
Teams will be lining up in Day 2 for the opportunity to draft a quarterback like Ryan Nassib or Matt Barkley, which should open the opportunity for the 49ers to move down, if they so choose.
However, in the first round, the 49ers decided to move up, as many pundits and experts predicted. With Dashon Goldson's successor in their grasp, will the Niners go after a tight end or defensive lineman? How about a receiver or another defensive back?
Whatever the Niners decide to do, we'll all be waiting in anticipation. Until then, here are five potential targets for the 49ers on Day 2.

"Every year, the art and science of community management is becoming more predictable," said Jono Bacon, the Community Leadership Summit lead organizer. It's becoming a renaissance, and over the last few years the practice is starting to be written down and documented. It's evolving.
20th century companies defined success by their hard assets. In contrast, 21st century businesses are based around information and ideas. In this video, Jim Whitehurst, President and CEO of Red Hat, explores how we add value in today's contemporary business, and, by extension, as a society.

Annie Noel, a seventh-grader at Our Lady of the Lake Catholic School, will be presented with an engraved silver medallion Monday to recognize her selection as one of Louisiana's top two youth volunteers this year.
According to Prudential, the company's Spirit of Community Awards program represents the largest youth recognition program in the country based exclusively on volunteer community service. All middle and high schools in the nation, along with all Girl Scout councils, parish and county 4-H organizations, Red Cross chapters, YMCAs and affiliates of HandsOn Network, were eligible to select a student or member for the local award last November. Two state honorees -- one middle and one high school student -- from each state and the District of Columbia were selected based on criteria such as personal initiative, creativity, effort, impact and personal growth. .
The presentation will take place Monday morning at 9 a.m. at a school mass in the OLL gym.
Noel is being honored for starting an annual collection drive called "Warm Hearts," which during the past four years has provided more than 1,000 cold-weather items to homeless shelters and service organizations in her community.
As a state winner, she will receive $1,000 and an all-expenses-paid trip to Washington, D.C., in May, where she will join more other state honorees for several days of national recognition events. Noel also is eligible to win one of 10 national awards.
Mary-Brent Brown of St. Scholastica Academy in Covington was named the state's high school winner last month.

Take a breath or 20 and think before you say stuff. Ignore the little things that don't matter. And get laid/jack off a lot! lol
Meditation is good stuff too... yoga, excersize, stuff like that.
Disclamer: I put this here not because I think I have become more aggressive because of paleo+IF, I just think you can help me. I don't want to be a troll.
I just realized that I did several things that are really rude recently, and due to there embarrassing rudeness I will not mention them again. Is there anything that can help this acting without thinking thing? Would you recommend mediation, etc?
Take a breath or 20 and think before you say stuff. Ignore the little things that don't matter. And get laid/jack off a lot! lol
Meditation is good stuff too... yoga, excersize, stuff like that.
The real problem was this was an action that I felt like it was reflexive, and was not an angry one, just a not thinking one. i.e. I don't do this but bringing attention to a physical deformity. I didn't try to be mean, but I was.
Don't press "send" for 5 minutes after writing the post. Go get something to drink, walk around the room, come back and re-read it. If it still sounds reasonable, then send.
The only way I know of to change any behavior is to learn to reflect before you act. You have to practice it, just like with exercise. So, as ridiculous as it may feel, set up scenarios where you can practice pausing before reacting/responding. It's nice if you know someone who can role play with you, but if no, you can use any real life situation. For instance, you can walk into a meeting knowing you're going to allow a 5 second pause-and-think before you say anything. If you think you'll have a hard time, try wearing a wristband or making a little mark with a pen on your hand or a piece of paper in front of you to help you remember. Do this over and over until it's a habit. During the refection time, you can ask yourself if what you're about to say meets the following criteria, is it: timely, necessary or humorous, relevant, true, and stated as kindly as possible.
This method has been really useful to me. I used to make witty comments at the expense of others pretty frequently. I'm good at it, and I got good laughs and respect for how quick I was, but ultimately I hurt a lot of feelings and people learned to be guarded around me. It took about a year of practice before my nature changed. I still crack jokes, but I have to work harder to come up with good ones that aren't directed toward the people around me.
When talking on a radio, it's push to talk, not push to think.
Adapted to your computer - think before you click send/post.
BTW, we all do stupid stuff sometimes - we learn when we admit mistakes, then take a hard look at ourselves to fix them.
+1 to you.
And that all being said - I'm DYING to know what it is you did.
Because I'm a bored, and nosey screwball whose novacaine is wearing off. (this means cranky too)
The bad jokes are another problem I have. +1 for junebu8
I have this same problem, getting a little ruder, more aggressive, and my patience is definitely disappearing. Could be the caveman thing, but maybe it's just getting older and grumpier.
Also the fact that people are such assholes these days. I swear I have entire days where every customer of mine, every person I talk to in stores, every store clerk, every person who serves me a coffee, is a complete ignorant ASSHOLE. I swear one of these days I'm going to be up on assault charges.
People today are fucked.

Technology Network
European Social Science History Conference
27 February through 1 March 2008
Lisbon, Portugal
The biennial European Social Science History Conference is an excellent opportunity to develop contacts between historians working in different fields of historical research and to explore interdisciplinary work. In Berlin (2004) and Amsterdam (2006), historians specializing in technological areas had the opportunity to interact with other specialists from 28 thematic fields. Co-organized sessions with the childhood, urban, and economics networks were particularly successful.
For the 2008 conference in Lisbon, we invite papers or sessions on the interactions of technology with culture, politics, economics and society -- during all time periods. Especially welcome are complete session proposals that connect technological themes with other historical sub-disciplines, e.g., those recognized as 'networks' by the ESSHC: <http://www.iisg.nl/esshc/networks.php>.
ALL proposals for papers and sessions must be "preregistered" by **April 1, 2007** at <http://www2.iisg.nl/esshc/register.asp >. As chairs of the technology network, we'd be happy to discuss ideas for sessions with you.

Call for Papers
In the years following the Second World War the countries of Eastern Europe (Albania, Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia, the GDR, Hungary, Poland, Romania and Yugoslavia) fell under the rule of Communist parties and underwent major state-directed social change. Industry was nationalised, industrial employment expanded dramatically and private ownership of agricultural land was drastically restricted in the interests of collectivisation. Attempts were made to integrate previously excluded groups into national life while urban and rural life was transformed.
The vast majority of the work on the socialist dictatorships of post-war Eastern Europe has concentrated on the realm of high politics, show trials, police repression or events like 1953 and 1956 when socialist rule was seriously challenged by popular unrest. This work has either completely ignored the transformation that took place in everyday life during the first two decades of socialist rule, or it has attempted to argue that popular experiences of these transformations can be read from a focus on high politics. As the social and economic institutions built during these years were dismantled during the 1990s, however, a nostalgic memory of the patterns of everyday life under socialism has emerged. This nostalgic memory has provided the basis for remarkable political shifts in some of the countries of the region over the course of the decade. This alone suggests that the popular experience of state directed social transformation is need of re-examination. A focus on the transformation of everyday life suggests that a new look need to be taken at some of the social and economic policies of the regimes in order to re-shape our understanding of the nature of socialism.
In order to focus on everyday socialism in the Eastern Europe of the 1950s and 1960s we would like to bring together historical work on all of the countries of the region. We would welcome proposals for papers from historians, anthropologists, sociologists and those interested in the material and visual cultures of the region during the period under discussion. Proposals for papers should address the following themes:

"Oh, how I yearned for a little money of my own! Not much really. A few hundred a year would have done it. Just enough to meet a friend for lunch occasionally, to indulge in extravagantly colored stockings, a few small items, without having to appeal to Charley."-- Betty Friedan, The Feminine Mystique (45)
The Critical Feminist Studies Division of the Cultural Studies Association (CSA) invites submissions for our 10th Annual Meeting, to be held at the University of California-San Diego, 28 March – 1 April 2012.
This year's theme, "Culture Matters," calls for proposals that critically and creatively reflect on culture and "the material" broadly conceived.
Within CSA's theme for the conference, this Division asks similarly of Cultural Studies' engagement with feminism. How do we define the relationship between feminism and material culture? What does a critical feminist approach to materiality look like? What are the im/possibilities of feminist materiality? Of feminist materials? Basically, what could be historically and culturally identified as the "stuff" of feminisms – commodities, things and objects? Above all, how does a critical approach to feminism reshape notions of Cultural Studies today? Why, and how, does Critical Feminist Studies "matter"?
Possible topics may include:
• Feminist Material Studies
• The stuff of feminisms – commodities, things, objects
• Feminist stuff and the im/possibility of feminist (material) goods
• Uses, values, desires and pleasures surrounding material goods/objects
• Critical Feminism and Material Cultural Studies
• Feminist theories of material culture
The Division seeks to fill two sessions for the conference. One session will be a traditional Panel with four, 20-minute presentations. One session will be a Seminar led by a scholar whose work especially highlights this year's theme. Please indicate your interest for either Session.
Please submit the following for consideration:
1) Your name, institutional affiliation, email address and phone number;
2) Presentation/Paper title;
3) 250-word (max) abstract of your 20-minute presentation
Send inquiries and submissions to:
Sarah L. Rasmusson
Chair of the Critical Feminist Studies Division
firstname.lastname@example.com and sarah.l.rasmusson@
Critical Feminist Studies dedicates itself to work that builds upon, even as it critiques, the institutions and practices of Women's and Gender Studies, focusing in particular on transnational formations and movements, queer and sexuality studies, and politics, practices, and representations. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cultural_Studies_Association

It never fails that at least one day in late fall, the husband or I will get the urge to take up the pruners or loppers and go on a binge.
It doesn't matter if the air is brisk or unseasonably warm. I think it is the late fall sunshine that makes us look out over the garden and glare at last season's overgrown shrubs.
When the attitude hits, we go into the yard with a fire in our eyes that leaves the shrubs quivering with fear. Which ones will be sacrificed for the sake of tidiness? Which will be spared because we think they might give us pleasure when the snow is piled on top of its remains?
We know even before we start that there are plants that should never be pruned in the fall. We know if we cut off the current summer's growth on some plants, we will be cutting off any chance for flowers in spring. That's not to say the mood doesn't strike us to do a bit of pruning there as well, but we aren't monsters.
Shrubs such as azalea, lilac, rhododendron, flowering crabapple, and forsythia are among those that should only be pruned after the flowers drop in early summer. We have been known to forego the rules, however, especially when the plant has grown so tall we can't stand it any longer. A particularly healthy forsythia comes to mind.
Several years ago, I planted two barely-there forsythia twigs in our back yard. One was planted out in the open where it gets full sunlight most of the day. The other was a few feet from the trunk of a large maple tree where it got filtered sunlight and whatever raindrops fell from between the tree's branches. As you can guess, the understory forsythia didn't thrive, but the other did so well, a day doesn't go by we don't look out our kitchen window and wonder when we lost control.
At one point, we decided to cut it quite short with the attitude of: if it makes it, fine; if it doesn't, that's OK too. Forsythias are cheap and easy to come by. We thought about cutting it back in late spring just after it bloomed, but other garden chores kept pushing that task to the back of the list. Before long, summer was nearly over and we still hadn't cut the forsythia.
''Just do it,'' I told my husband. ''So what if we don't have flowers next spring.''
So he did and when I next saw the shrub, it was barely two feet tall with no sign of current year's growth left on its few sparse branches.
By spring, the shrub began to throw out new growth in all directions with lots of pale, green leaves, but no bright yellow flowers. We didn't mind. There are enough substitute spring flowers to pick up the slack.
The next year, we didn't prune the shrub at all. It bloomed from the previous year's growth and was looking fresh again. But once again, by the time the flowers dropped, busy spring gardening kept us from trimming away some of its growth.
Here's where a lesson can be learned. There are several ways to prune a shrub. You can cut out unwanted branches that aren't in keeping with the plant's nice shape. You also can prune out congested inner growth that prevents the plant from getting good sunlight and air circulation to the center and you should always cut away branches that criss-cross each other because, well, that's just wrong.
We have to keep in mind that when a shrub is pruned, especially one as eager to thrive as forsythia, the plant will retaliate by sending out a zillion or more tender new shoots in all directions, simply for spite. It's true.
I hesitate to call this monstrosity a shrub any longer because shrubs are normally waist-high and exhibit some sort of self-control. This forsythia now resembles a one-story building and takes up more space than the square footage of my bedroom. Small children could get lost beneath its fountain of branches. I think Hansel and Gretel's wicked witch might be building a gingerbread house under there. I worry about my little dog.

44th Annual Convention, Northeast Modern Language Association (NeMLA) March 21-24, 2013
Boston, Massachusetts
Host Institution: Tufts University
In light of recent theories exposing the limits of national affiliation (postnational, transnational, area studies, etc.) this panel aims to open a discussion about nomadic cultures in cinema. The panel might address the following questions: how have such cultures been traditionally depicted in film, is there a shift in filmic depictions of these cultures in the wake of migration to Italy, in what ways have Italian characters represented the nomad in other cultures? Papers addressing theoretical understandings of the nomadic are particularly welcome. Please send 300 word abstracts and brief bio to Carmelo Galati at email@example.com by September 30th.
Deadline: September 30, 2012
Please include with your abstract:
Name and Affiliation
Email address
A/V requirements (if any; $10 handling fee with registration)
The 2013 NeMLA convention continues the Association's tradition of sharing innovative scholarship in an engaging and generative location. The 44th annual event will be held in historic Boston, Massachusetts, a city known for its national and maritime history, academic facilities and collections, vibrant art, theatre, and food scenes, and blend of architecture. The Convention, located centrally near Boston Commons and the Theatre District at the Hyatt Regency, will include keynote and guest speakers, literary readings, film screenings, tours and workshops.
Interested participants may submit abstracts to more than one NeMLA session; however, panelists can only present one paper (panel or seminar). Convention participants may present a paper at a panel and also present at a creative session or participate in a roundtable. http://www.nemla.org/convention/2013/cfp.html

"ArchiTreats: Food for Thought" will present a lecture by Mary Spanos on Southeastern Native American textiles from the Prehistoric Period to Removal" on June 17 at noon at the Alabama Department of Archives and History, 624 Washington Ave. in Montgomery.
The textile history of the Southeast offers a complex and fascinating story that is unique among prehistoric cultures. Eight thousand years ago, Paleo-Native Americans left impressions of woven materials in clay-floor surfaces in Dust Cave in north Alabama. Southeast Native Americans in the Archaic era wrapped their dead in cloth before burying them in a bog in Florida.
Two thousand years ago, Woodland-era Native Americans, near present-day Fort Payne, covered their pottery with designs made by rolling cord-wrapped sticks in the soft clay or pre-fired pots. Five hundred years ago, Mississippian Native Americans left behind textile artifacts that included garments, bags, footwear, and images of textiles on pottery and copper ceremonial objects. The arrival of European settlers had a tremendous effect on the textile traditions of the Southeast Native Americans, as cloth and clothing were very popular trade items between the indigenous population and the early settlers.
By the 1830s, just prior to their removal from the Southeast, Indians were wearing traditional handmade textile accessories with their newly traded European clothing and were assembling cotton cloth factories to gin, spin, and weave the cotton they had begun to raise. An important textile artifact of that era, Osceola's Garter, is part of the permanent collection at the Alabama Department of Archives and History.
Spanos received an M.A. in anthropology from the University of Alabama. Her research focuses on the prehistoric and early historic textiles of the Southeastern region of North America and includes the technology and traditions of native societies and European settlers.She is currently responsible for the research, design, and production of the prehistoric and early historic costumes for the new archaeology museum under construction on the campus of the University of South Alabama. Prior to her research on prehistoric textiles, she was the associate editor and a frequent contributor to Spin-off, a national magazine for hand-spinners.
ArchiTreats: Food for Thought is made possible by the Friends of the Alabama Archives. The public is invited to bring a sack lunch and enjoy a bit of Alabama history. Coffee and tea will be provided by the Friends of the Alabama Archives. For more information, call 334-353-4726.
DAR chapter to assist at library: The Tristan de Luna Chapter DAR will be available to assist patrons with finding information on their ancestors at the Local History and Genealogy Library, 753 Government St., on June 19 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. For details, call 251-208-7093.
1901 Irish census goes online: The earliest surviving complete Census of Ireland has been put online, giving access to more than 4.5 million records from 1901 for historians, genealogists and anyone curious about their family history. Some 850,000 households on the entire island were covered in the census, which was taken on March 31, 1901.
Minister for Culture Mary Hanafin described the service as "an important and exciting day for people all over the world who want to trace their roots." She added: "In a world which is very troubled, people want to know where they are rooted and are anxious to know about their background and their heritage."
There are no further complete sets of records to make available, as most of the census records from the 19th century have been destroyed. Those from the early part of the century were lost in a fire at the Public Records Office during the Civil War in 1922, while some later records were pulped because of a paper shortage during first World War.
The 1901 Census provide information about a household on a single sheet, covering the following categories: first name; surname; relation to head of family; religious profession; education; age; sex; occupation; marriage status; where born; if the individual spoke English, Irish or both and if the person had a disability.

We need another one of these "Snatch" meets "Trainspotting" films about as much as we need another "look at the ugly people in the quiet Irish village do something outrageous" movies.
It's always nice when a movie begins with a man punching a woman in the face. In this case, Lehiff (Colin Farrell) is just a petty criminal/psychopath who decides to punch a coffee girl in the face. So director John Crowley starts his movie there and rolls the opening credits right after, implying either that this is the tone of his film or that we're supposed to be amused. After all, isn't that what we'd all like to do? Right answer: Um, no.
Ultimately, this is a film that supposes that a desperate guy kidnapping his ex-girlfriend's new boyfriend is a believable way for him to win her back. John (Cillian Murphy) does just that in order to win back Deirdre (Kelly Macdonald), who's shacked up with a married man. John is such a loser that it's hard to believe that he could attract any woman, much less the stunning Deirdre, but apparently her choices are limited.
Crowley uses Det. Jerry Lynch (Colm Meaney) as a kind of contrast. The film cuts between different characters and then has their actions intersect from time to time, a technique as tired as it is boring. Since Lynch is a cop, his peculiar criminality (he's basically a brat who abuses his authority and uses it to beat guys up) is supposed to diminish the actions of all the other criminals we get to follow around.
Ultimately, this film is a misogynistic piece of garbage. It starts with the girl getting punched in the face and amuses itself with another girl, Sally (Shirley Henderson), who is abused in the film as well as by the filmmaker. Seriously, this girl is suffering from post-traumatic stress and Crowley thinks it's a joke. I'd like to see somebody take a dump on Crowley's chest in the process of breaking up with him and see how he handles it.

MARTINSBURG - For members of the 167th Airlift Wing, it is a matter of training and reflexes to be prepared for any situation, whether routine or unexpected.
That training was put to the test recently when, during a routine takeoff, a crew of 10 airmen experienced a flight that was far from ordinary. Approximately 30 seagulls struck a C-5 Galaxy aircraft, damaging the plane to the point that an immediate landing was necessary.
"If they hadn't reacted the way they reacted and the way their training taught them to react, it could very well have been a crash and loss of life and loss of an airplane," said Capt. Christopher Tusing, installation deployment officer.

A crew of 10 airmen from the 167th Airlift Wing will receive the 2013 Earl T. Ricks Award for Outstanding Airmanship for their actions during a flight where an emergency landing was necessary. The 10 crew members pictured are Lt. Col. Jonathan Goldstein, Capt. Ryan Hawk, 1st Lt. Samuel Harrison, Senior Master Sgt. Timothy Nicholson, Master Sgt. Michael Kalbfleisch, Master Sgt. Devin Paskewich, Tach. Sgt. Nicholas McFadden, Staff Sgt. Chad Witmer, Staff Sgt. Jordan Soltis and Senior Airman Jeremy Barr.
Although each crew member has had extensive training on simulators to prepare them for a multitude of situations such as an emergency landing, the flight was the first time for many of the airmen that the training gained through the simulations was necessary.
"It was definitely something that we had not seen in real life before, any of us," said Capt. Ryan Hawk, who was pilot and aircraft commander for the flight.
"The engines were damaged, so it was a hairy situation. We had to turn around and land the plane expeditiously because it was a catastrophic situation. ... It was a crew effort," he said.
As a result of their actions during the incident, the 10 crewmen will receive the 2013 Earl T. Ricks Award for Outstanding Airmanship.
The crew members receiving the award are Lt. Col. Jonathan Goldstein, Capt. Ryan Hawk, 1st Lt. Samuel Harrison, Senior Master Sgt. Timothy Nicholson, Master Sgt. Michael Kalbfleisch, Master Sgt. Devin Paskewich, Tach. Sgt. Nicholas McFadden, Staff Sgt. Chad Witmer, Staff Sgt. Jordan Soltis and Senior Airman Jeremy Barr.
For 1st Lt. Samuel Harrison, copilot during the flight, the clearest memory of the incident is feeling the vibrations of the plane and seeing his hands violently shaking on the throttles.
"One of the big things that made this more significant or dangerous than what this would have been is how heavy we were - 90,000 pounds, which is extremely heavy," Harrison said.
The crew members will receive the award at the 2013 Air Force Association Air and Space Conference and Technology Exposition in National Harbor, Md., Sept. 16-18.
"It's a nice feeling. You feel like it's all about getting better, always wanting to improve, and that's what we focus on, is getting better your job. It's nice to know that the base was rewarded and recognized for something we work hard to do every day," Hawk said.
For base commander Col. Roger L. Nye, the crew's accolades do not come as a surprise.
"We train our folks by the books. We give them many, many, many opportunities to have this type of situation happen to them in the simulator and have them prepared to respond to any kind of situation that happens," Nye said.
"It is a honor to command an organization that I know has superior airmen day in and day out. This is just one of those situations where they had to use that superior training and skill to save an airplane," he said.

"The ultimate aim of rehabilitation is to restore the handicapped individual to the fullest physical, mental, social, vocational, and economic usefulness of which he is capable."
The above statement in the preface of the book gives the aims of the author and has been brought out in a simple, straightforward way to make it valuable for the student nurse, visiting nurse and all phases of nursing.
The nurse's responsibility in maintaining physical and mental health during rehabilitation and in teaching the patient how to maintain good health after his return to the community is paramount.
"Cognizant of the ultimate complete rehabilitation of her patient, the nurse is obligated to acquire thorough understanding of posture techniques and she must develop the ability to apply the principles of good body alignment and correct positioning of the patient in all areas of nursing care."

Amid the complexities of Pennsylvania's new voter identification law, the news release sent out from Harrisburg on Wednesday promised to make things simpler.
The Corbett administration was announcing it had worked out a way for PennDot to check with the state Health Department to verify state birth records - a "simplified method to obtain photo ID for Pennsylvania-born voters," said the headline on the Department of State release.
It may be simplified, but it still isn't simple.
The new wrinkle will lower one of the multiple hurdles the law has created for some of the people who don't have driver's licenses and need other forms of photo ID to vote in November's general election.

Friday's District 10 basketball playoff previews, Feb. 22
VisionQuest vs. Rocky Grove
Today, 6:30 p.m., Oil City High School
- Records: VisionQuest 9-13; Rocky Grove 7-15
- How they qualified: VisionQuest and Rocky Grove are at-large teams.
- What's at stake: The winner plays Kennedy Catholic in the District 10 semifinals.
Eisenhower vs. Commodore Perry
Today, 8 p.m., Oil City High School
- Records: Eisenhower 8-14; Commodore Perry 5-17
- How they qualified: Eisenhower and Commodore Perry are at-large teams.
- What's at stake: The winner plays Cochranton in the District 10 semifinals.
West Middlesex vs. Iroquois
Today, 8 p.m., Farrell High School
- Records: West Middlesex 19-3; Iroquois 10-12
- How they qualified: West Middlesex is the Region 2 champion; Iroquois is an at-large team
- Outlook: Iroquois is in the playoffs for the first time in five years and the Braves face a huge task to keep their season going. West Middlesex has the top offense in District 10 at 76.5 points per game. Iroquois is ranked 15th in scoring defense after allowing 51.1 points per game during the regular season and will need to find a way to contain Gannon recruit Matthew Dogan. He holds the Mercer County scoring record with 2,064 points and is second in District 10 at 25.9 points per game. Dogan is fifth all-time and could pass Conneaut Valley graduate Casey Baker (2,073 points) in tonight's game. Trey Staunch, the quarterback on the football team, is second with 16.4 ppg and leaper Jeremy Jancso is at 13 ppg. The three lead a Big Reds team, ranked No. 5 in the state, that has played a tough non-region schedule. Middlesex appeared in the New Castle and Farrell tournaments as well as non-region games against Beaver, Kennedy Catholic and Ohio powers Poland and Hubbard. Middlesex cruised to the Region 2 title while Iroquois was battling for its season through most of February. The Braves completed an important season sweep of North East on Jan. 29 but still needed at least two wins in Feb. to remain in fourth place. Iroquois won two of their last three to get in, including a double-overtime win against Northwestern. Colton Edinger leads the Braves at 10.9 points per game followed by Joe Lobenthal at 9.9. Lobenthal will likely miss the playoffs, giving Iroquois another challenge to overcome.
- What's at stake: The winner plays the Saegertown-Fairview winner in the District 10 semifinals.
Saegertown vs. Fairview
Today, 6:30 p.m., General McLane High School
- Records: Saegertown 18-4; Fairview 14-8
- How they qualified: Saegertown is the Region 3 champion; Fairview is an at-large team
- Outlook: This could be one of the top games in the Class AA playoffs. Fairview and Saegertown seemed to be on the same level with two polar-opposite teams. Fairview is young, quick and smaller than most of the Class AA playoff teams. Saegertown relies on size, rebounding and brute force to dominate teams. Fairview tends to keep games as low scoring as possible. The Tigers are No. 9 in District 10 in allowing only 48.6 points per game and in the bottom of half of D-10 at No. 30 in offense with 50.5 ppg. Conversely, Saegertown is No. 8 in offense at 66.2 ppg and No. 22 in defense after allowing 54.1 ppg during the regular season. Dustin Pavlik, a 6-3 guard, leads the Panthers with 13.6 ppg followed by 6-4 forward Shane Rigby (12.4 ppg) and 5-11 guard Austin Scere (10.7). Jeff Mattocks, a 6-2 forward, also contributed 9 ppg. Fairview counters with sophomore guards Andy Niland (14.2 ppg), Marc Corbin (12.4) and Ben Kocan (9.6). The Tigers' inside game was bolstered with the return of football star Shannon Jackson after injury. Jackson, a strong 6-2 forward, is averaging 3.3 points per game in six games played but his play inside is more valuable than scoring. Fairview beat Saegertown 57-51 to open the season in the Fairview tournament. Saegertown was missing Rigby in that game and Fairview was without Niland or Jackson. Fairview is 3-1 against Crawford County this season and won five of its last six games in the regular season. Saegertown is one of the hottest teams in D-10 right now with 16 wins in a row since a 79-50 loss to Neshannock in the Neshannock holiday tournament.
- What's at stake: The winner plays the West Middlesex-Iroquois winner in the District 10 semifinals.
Lakeview vs. Titusville
Today, 6:30 p.m., Farrell High School
- Records: Lakeview 19-3; Titusville 17-5
- How they qualified: Lakeview and Titusville are at-large teams
- What's at stake: The winner plays the Mercyhurst Prep-Sharpsville winner in the District 10 semifinals.
Mercyhurst Prep vs. Sharpsville
Today, 8 p.m., General McLane High School
- Records: Mercyhurst Prep 15-7; Sharpsville 12-10
- How they qualified: Mercyhurst Prep is the Region 4 champion; Sharpsville is an at-large team
- Outlook: Mercyhurst Prep will look to fight its way into the semifinals tonight in an interesting test from Sharpsville. The Blue Devils have won big games this season and had some tough losses as well. Sharpsville beat Class AAA Slippery Rock in overtime to open the season and beat Class AAA Fort LeBoeuf 48-42. The Blue Devils have also been routed by Class A teams and came close to being upset by Class AA teams in their region. Standout wide receiver Tyler Luchey leads Sharpsville with 15 points per game followed by junior Kyle Kennedy at 11.1 ppg. The Sharpsville offense ranks 19th at 56 points per game, while the defense is allowing 58.9 ppg. Mercyhurst Prep counters with size and discipline. The Lakers are tied for fourth in scoring defense at 46 points allowed per game, while boasting the No. 27 offense at 52.3 ppg. Mercyhurst is battle-tested from earlier this season after a 3-5 start. The Lakers played in the Neshannock and North Allegheny tournaments, while also losing to Sharon and McDowell. Mercyhurst is 4-2 in February after a perfect 8-0 January. Alex Borges leads the way with 14.8 points per game followed by Carl Anderson at 12.7 ppg. Sam Corritore is scoring 7.5 ppg to add to a sizable Laker team.
- What's at stake: The winner plays the Lakeview-Titusville winner in the District 10 semifinals.
