More about the crisis and how to help: state.gov/haitiquakeAbout the Author: Cheryl Mills serves as the Counselor and Chief of Staff to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
Earlier today, a powerful earthquake with a magnitude of 7.0 struck Haiti. Reports are still coming in, but it appears that many schools, hospitals and other buildings have collapsed, adding more suffering to an already impoverished nation, the poorest country in the western hemisphere.
Reports continue to pour in from all over and we are extending all our thoughts and prayers to those who have been affected.
As Secretary Clinton said earlier, the U.S. government will offer assistance to Haiti and others in the region in the form of civilian and military disaster relief and humanitarian assistance.
For those interested in helping immediately, simply text "HAITI" to "90999" and a donation of $10 will be given automatically to the Red Cross to help with relief efforts, charged to your cell phone bill.
Or you can go online to organizations like the Red Cross and Mercy Corps to make a contribution to the disaster relief efforts.
The State Department Operations Center has set up the following number for Americans seeking information about family members in Haiti: 1-888-407-4747. You may email inquiries to: firstname.lastname@example.com. We'll provide more details and opportunities to help as we learn more. To stay up-to-date, follow us on state.gov.
Update:Anyone wishing to donate or provide assistance in Haiti following the devastating earthquake that struck near Port au Prince on Jan 12, 2010, is asked to contact the Center for International Disaster Information.You also can send your message to email@example.com. Be certain to include in the subject line "Donation of" followed by the products you are willing to donate. A staffer will share the information with relief and development agencies that have the ability to transport collected items to the affected region and have identified needed goods.How To Help:Clinton Bush Haiti Fund | InterAction | Mercy Corps | Red CrossRelated entry:Information on Earthquake in Haiti

Through most of his 125-plus films, former box office champ Van Johnson was famous for a boyish, All-American image that made Jack Armstrong look criminal by comparison. With a cherubic, freckled face, wavy red hair and a smile that seldom set, the star of some of MGM's most successful romantic comedies and musicals charmed fans and even the powerful Hollywood columnists of the '40s and '50s. Three decades later Johnson's sunny disposition is intact but more likely to be found splashed across canvas than the movie screen. "I paint," says the 71-year-old actor, "to express my own inner happiness."
Ample evidence was available in exhibit one: the Van Johnson Premiere Art Show—Pure Colours, the artist's first major public showing, held in a Dallas gallery last month. Sixty-three paintings were exhibited, all exuberant renderings in dazzling color of pet cats, bright flowers, sun-drenched villages, city scenes and landscapes. Ranging in price from $1,200 to $10,000, the paintings showed no variation in gusto. It was the almost primitive "happy quality" of Johnson's work, says Florence Art Gallery owner Estelle Shwiff, that led her to produce the show. Johnson's paintings, she says, are "honest, bright, full of giving and open."
Johnson uses bold acrylics straight from the tube and composes in what he calls his "Van Go" style: "I like to paint in one swell foop."
That wasn't always the case, though Johnson has been a serious amateur painter since the '40s. "I was on the Onassis boat with Winston Churchill one time," he says. "He got his canvas out and so did I. He was working away, and I was staring and thinking, and he growled at me, 'Don't just sit there and stare! Get some paint and splash it on!' Greta Garbo was there and she just stared too. But he didn't growl at her, I noticed. Edward G. Robinson lost his patience with me once and told me, 'Son, just get some paint and mess up the canvas. Then straighten it out.' Now I usually finish a painting in one day. I'll start about 9 in the morning and finish by bedtime."
Encouraged by MGM stablemates and Lionel Barrymore and Spencer Tracy to put his between-picture and on-location downtime to productive use, Johnson began attending Sunday afternoon painting sessions at Claudette Colbert's house with a group of weekend painters that included Dinah Shore, Lilli Palmer, Tony Curtis, Gary Cooper and Henry Fonda. The atmosphere, Johnson says, "was like a church." Fonda's paintings were "like photographs. He'd draw for a year on one piece. Gary Cooper did the same sort of work. I like faster work. I'm too impatient. Lilli Palmer worked the same way I did, and everybody was wild about her work. Somebody was admiring Cooper's fine, draftsman like work, and Claudette, who was very, very good—everybody respected her—said, 'Well, you have to paint like Gary before you can learn to paint like Lilli.' "
Though he studied painting in high school, Johnson gave it up for show business. Born in Rhode Island in 1916, the son of a housewife and a plumbing contractor, he says that he arrived in New York in 1934 with a straw suitcase, $5 and instructions from home to "always wipe the silverware and never eat a rare hamburger." Eager to make it in theater, the 6'3" dancer impressed one chorus line director who, Johnson remembers, remarked that "no matter how far back I put that big, redheaded kid from Newport, he always seems to be standing in the spotlight."
Screen-tested by a casting director who saw him lunching with old hoofer pal Lucille Ball while on a 1941 visit to Hollywood, Johnson spent almost 20 years under contract to MGM. The studio teamed him with such stars as Janet Leigh, Judy Garland, Clark Gable, Humphrey Bogart, Lana Turner and Katharine Hepburn in a succession of hit films, including Brigadoon, The Last Time I Saw Paris, State of the Union, 30 Seconds Over Tokyo and The Caine Mutiny. "I was star struck," Johnson recalls. "I was around people like Errol Flynn, Orson Welles, Charles Laughton and so many others. I was in awe most of the time. I couldn't believe it."
In 1947 Johnson, by then earning $8,000 per week, more than Gable or any other MGM star, married Eve Wynn in Juarez, Mexico, four hours after her divorce from his pal Keenan Wynn became official. The marriage, which produced one child (Schuyler, 39, lives on the West Coast and rarely sees Johnson), ended in separation 13 years later. Bitter court proceedings dragged on until 1968. "She wiped me out in the ugliest divorce in Hollywood history," Johnson told reporters at the end of the ordeal.
When his MGM contract expired in the late '50s, Johnson returned to the stage, appearing in London for a two-year run of The Music Man. Following successful operations for malignant melanoma in 1962 and 1964, he resumed acting in Broadway revivals and regional theater, making only a handful of films between Wives and Lovers in 1963 and Woody Allen's Purple Rose of Cairo in 1985.
Although a critic once griped that Johnson projected just two emotions—"worried and happy"—the actor says he found real happiness becoming the King of Dinner Theater, as he jokingly dubs himself. The movies, he insists, can reel on without him. "Whatever happened to sweet, romantic films?" he says of Hollywood's—and his—glory days. "Now the main ingredients of so many films have to do with smashing up cars or someone getting stabbed to death."
Johnson still performs onstage occasionally—in 1985 he was on Broadway in La Cage aux Folles, and he ended 1987 by appearing in the musical The Twelve Dreams of Christmas in Richmond, Va.—and keeps a penthouse in Manhattan that he shares with three former stray cats. He says he has "been celibate for 10 years," but isn't lonely, and spends his free time painting. "As an actor you hit your marks and say your lines," he says. "It's almost impossible to maintain spontaneity. In painting, each stroke is new, unconditioned and very exciting."
Johnson says that, for him, painting has the power to stop time as well as heighten the senses. "Flowers," he says of a favorite motif, "have always meant a great deal to me. I've been to so many Hollywood funerals. I always say, 'I want to see the flowers now, when I'm alive.' "
"Painting makes me feel young and close to the creative source," he adds. "I have learned much about myself through canvas and brush. No deep hidden meanings, but a celebration of my love affair with life. I love every minute of it."

Winter Olympics sports guide
An event-by-event guide to the forthcoming Winter Olympics, which takes place in Sochi.
- Related Content
SKELETON: Men's and women's skeleton events will be contested at the 2014 Olympics. They will each consist of four runs over two days, with places decided by the lowest cumulative times over the four runs. Men's and women's races have taken place since the sport was re-introduced to the Games in 2002. Women had been banned from skeleton in the 1920s when it was feared the vibrations from the new steel sleds could cause breast cancer.
LUGE: There have always been three luge disciplines in the Olympic programme - men's, women's and doubles - and Sochi will see a fourth, the team relay, make its Games debut. Technically the doubles competition can be competed by athletes of either sex, but it is almost always two men.
BOBSLEIGH: There are three bobsleigh events: the four-man bobsleigh, the two-man bobsleigh and the women's two-man bobsleigh. Each discipline consists of four runs over two days, with the lowest cumulative time from the four runs deciding the placings.
BIATHLON: Biathlon events can be broadly split into five categories: Sprint, Pursuit, Individual, Relay and Mass Start. The races range over distances from 10km and 7.5km in the men's and women's sprints respectively, to the 20km and 15km men's and women's individual.

ALPINE SKIING: Ten alpine skiing events have been contested at the Winter Olympics since 1988. They are: downhill, slalom, giant-slalom, Super-G and Super Combined - each with a men's and women's category. The slalom and giant-slalom take place over two runs on the same day, with the lowest cumulative time determining the winner.
SNOWBOARD: There are four Olympic snowboard disciplines, each separately contested between men and women: half-pipe, parallel giant-slalom, snowboard-cross (also known as boardercross) and slopestyle. In half-pipe and slopestyle, riders traverse the course individually and are scored for tricks and speed.
FREESTYLE SKIING: The introduction of ski half-pipe and ski slopestyle for the first time at the 2014 Games took the total of available Olympic gold medals in freestyle to 10.moguls, aerials, ski-cross, half-pipe and slopestyle in men's and women's categories respectively.
CROSS-COUNTRY: A total of 12 cross-country events are staged in Sochi - six each for men and women. They are split between classical and freestyle races: classical involves a gliding technique in which the skis run along two parallel grooves, while in freestyle a skating technique is generally adopted. The blue riband event is the men's 50km mass start.
SHORT-TRACK: Both men and women race over 500m, 1000m and 1500m individual distances. In addition men contest a 5000m relay and women a 3000m relay. Due to frequent crashes and infringements, there are many disqualifications, with post-race juries dictating which athletes are to be expelled.
SPEED-SKATING: There are 12 Olympic speed-skating disciplines, with both men and women competing over 500m, 1000m, 1500m, 5000m and 10000m distances, and men's and women's team pursuit events also taking place. Races take place in a head-to-head format over a purpose-built, 400m oval rink. Racers switch lanes on the home straight on each lap in order to ensure an equal distance is contested.
NORDIC COMBINED: Currently there are no women's Nordic combined events, though this may change since women's ski-jumping was introduced for the 2014 programme. There are two individual men's events: the individual large hill, and the individual normal hill, both of which include 10km cross-country races. There is also a 4x5km relay.
SKI-JUMPING: Men contest the normal (105m) and large (140m) hill events, plus a team competition. Women will make their Olympic debut with a normal hill event. Each competitor theoretically has two jumps, although only the top 30 after the first round get to jump again. Each jump has a K-point - an optimum landing zone - typically at 90m and 120m respectively.

CURLING: Both men's and women's curling events are a part of the Olympic programme. A proposal for a mixed doubles format was rejected in 2010. Matches take place over 10 ends and involve four-strong teams. Each player has two shots per end, and each match takes place over 10 ends, with extra ends used to separate the teams in the event of a tie.
FIGURE SKATING: The figure skating programme has five elements - men's, women's, pairs, ice dance and team, which makes its debut in 2014. The singles events each comprise a short program and a free skate. The pairs also includes two elements, while ice dancing differs in that it does not allow throws or jumps.
ICE HOCKEY: Both men's and women's competitions begin with a group stage. In the men's event, the top nine teams are seeded across three groups, with the group winners and the best-placed runners-up advanced to the quarter-finals. The remaining eight teams play a further qualification game for the chance to join them. The women's format differs in that the top four seeds start in the same preliminary group. The two two qualify directly for the semi-finals, while the third and fourth-placed teams play off against the top two teams in Group B.

Ice warning on Madison area lakes
December 12, 2013 - People are beginning to venture onto the frozen waters of local lakes. The Dane County Sheriff's Office wants to remind citizens that the ice can be very unpredictable and is never considered completely safe.
For those that do go out on the ice, the proper safety equipment is essential; a life jacket or flotation suit, ice picks and a rope are recommended. Always let someone know where you will be and when you will return. Extra caution should be used on ice near bridges and trestles, as the structures conduct heat into the water and ice near these areas will be more dangerous. This is also true for areas where there is a current running through the water. Be aware of ice covered with snow. Sometimes the snow serves as insulation. Other times, it has the opposite effect by insulating the surface from freezing.
When taking snowmobiles or ATV's on the water, they must be equipped with the proper flotation equipment. For a schedule of flotation inspections, go to www.danesheriff.com <http://www.danesheriff.com>.

As the climate becomes increasingly temperamental, wild relatives of today's crops are increasingly threatened.
Although they may bear little resemblance to today's cultivated crops, the wild cousins play an integral part in breeding programs and maintaining yields.
When pests or diseases attack a crop, breeders can often find an answer in the genetics of wild relatives. If such genetics are lost to climate-fueled extinction, solutions to crops' future problems could vanish as well.
A recent study by the Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research (CGIAR) warns that if climate trends continue — whether too hot, cold, wet or dry — in the next 50 years, as many as 61 percent of the 51 wild peanut species analyzed and 12 percent of the 108 wild potato species analyzed could become extinct.
And those that survive will likely be hemmed into much smaller areas, making them more vulnerable.
"Results indicate the survival of many species of crop wild relatives — not just wild potatoes, peanuts and cowpeas — are likely to be seriously threatened even with the most conservative estimates regarding the magnitude of climate change," says the study's lead author, Andy Jarvis, an agricultural geographer at the CGIAR-supported, International Center for Tropical Agriculture.
"There's an urgent need to collect and store the seeds of wild relatives in crop diversity collections before they disappear. At the moment, existing collections are conserving only a fraction of the diversity of wild species that are out there."
Jarvis and colleagues studied the effects of climate change on three crops in Africa and South America: wild potatoes, wild peanuts and cowpeas. This approach allowed them to consider how wild plants would fare in a wide variety of growing conditions.
Jarvis, who has been in his current job for seven years, recently spoke with Delta Farm Press . Among his comments:
On Jarvis' work…
"I work from the offices of the International Center for Tropical Agriculture, one of the big gene banks. A large seed collection for beans, cassava and forages is here.
"I work in the unit that deals with agricultural biodiversity and analyses. I do a lot of the modeling about how species are distributed and what threats to biodiversity there are."
On findings from the latest study…
"We've been working on this for about five years, although not necessarily in the context of climate change. We were interested in how the wild species of crop relatives were doing, how they're distributed in the wild, how threatened they are and prioritizing their conservation. That involves a bit of promoting of their conservation so they're taken into account and mainstreamed into conservation strategies.
"The recent study was the icing on the cake — to see what the threat of climate change is presenting to these species. The truth is these species are already threatened from land-use changes and exploitation. Now, we're showing climate change is a lasting impact that could cause considerable extinctions.
"We worked on wild peanuts, wild potatoes and wild Vigna (a genus containing many beans), which includes cowpeas. We looked at these in both Latin America and Africa. What we found is a high percentage of these wild species are predicted to go extinct."
On the need to preserve wild relatives…
"Over the history of evolution, these wild relatives have shown how important they are. They've developed resistances to many pests and diseases. They can have novel adaptations to drought stresses, for example. Or, in wild potatoes, they may have adapted to prevent frost damage. So there are very many interesting traits that could prove useful for improving today's crops.
"There's a classic example of this in peanuts. There are a number of new varieties out that use traits from wild relatives to increase resistance to root knot nematode, a serious problem for cultivated peanuts around the world.
"The wild relatives are becoming more and more useful. Biotechnology allows us to select for needed traits much more easily.
"Historically, the wild relatives have been undervalued. Partly that's due to their use in breeding."
On ensuring a viable population of the wild relatives…
"Among the next steps would be to look carefully at threats to each species and identify the most appropriate conservation strategy. Normally, that means a complementary approach.
"On one hand, there's the need for a safety net, a collection, so the seeds can be held and grown out as needed. So we'd identify the sites we expect to find the species under the greatest threat, collect the seed and place it in a gene bank. We do collecting through partners.
"The second strategy is to look at conserving the plants in situ, in the wild. That's a much more valuable, preferable approach. That way the species can continue to evolve.
"If we can put in place management strategies in existing protected areas, or argue for the creation of new protected areas, then we're doing well."
Why Africa and South America?
"We focused on the two continents to look at three specific, very different environments. And we wanted to use three very different species with different biologies. We wanted to cover a variety of gene pools and geographic regions, although the message is valid for other crops and regions. We could do a similar analysis for wild barley, wild wheat, wild chickpeas or others.
Regional differences? What you find in the savannah versus a mountainous region?
"That's precisely why we chose these species. Wild potatoes are typically found in the mountains from the southern tip of the Andes into the United States. Wild peanuts are in the savannah. And we looked at wild Vigna, which is widely distributed across Africa.
"What's very interesting is we found much of this boils down to how well these threatened species might migrate. As the climate changes, the range these species is adapted to moves, as well. The question becomes how far do these species have to move to stay within their preferred range?
"What we've found in mountains is that distance is much shorter. When temperatures rise, the plants might just need to move up the mountain 100 meters to a suitable habitat.
"The wild peanuts were most heavily affected by climate change. That's partly because they're already in lowland regions — already harsh environments with very strong drought and high temperatures. Climate change typically knocks them out of their adaptation range. They'd have to move thousands of kilometers to find a climatic niche in the future."
Did the study cover what could come after the climate change? More disease and pests?
"That's something for the next iteration. It's very difficult to get to grips with that. But, yes, many scenarios for climate change show there will be greater pest and disease pressures."
On the reception of the report by breeders…
"Breeders are well aware these wild species are under threat in the wild and under-conserved in gene banks. They know these things.
"Really, the most important audiences for this study are the national institutions that have the capacity to follow up and go collect these species. This study will help them target and prioritize their collecting strategies.
"Second, this is a message with implications that should contribute to a change in policy. This thing needs looking at because, on the whole, climate change is creating more and more problems. Our crops will suffer and this will have very serious economic implications unless something is done now. This is just more evidence that there needs to be a policy shift."
On findings and surprises…
"There have been a number of studies done in other wild species that predict similar levels of extinction. This was in that expected range.
"What was surprising to me were the differences in the extinction rates between the crop-wild relatives. The peanuts, for example, were hit very, very hard. Whereas, the Vigna species in Africa — where climate change will mean the most suffering — weren't as badly bothered because of a broad adaptation. For me, the unexpected outcome was in the great variability between these wild species we looked at."

Grande Vénus victorieuse (Large Venus Victorious), 1914-15
Original plaster
71 inches (180.3 cm) high
Published by Vollard, Paris
With her weight rested on her right hip, holding a drape in her left hand and the golden apple in her right, this standing female nude is said to be the culmination of Renoir's sculptural works. Transforming paradox into perfection, Renoir marries contradictory attributes to personify his idea of female quintessence. Vénus victorieuse the Woman is majestic yet simple, engaged and yet isolated, familiar but also obscure. With this sculpture, Renoir redefines classical theme and form to portray the eternal beauty of Woman - a leitmotiv apparent in much of his work.

Renoir, Pierre-Auguste:Pierre-Auguste Renoir was a French impressionist painter who was born on February 25, 1841, and passed away on December 3, 1919, at the age of 78. As a youth, he worked in a porcelain factory painting designs on fine china. He frequently visited the Louvre to study the French masters. He enrolled in art school in 1864 where he met Claude Monet. The two would later explore the use of reflected colors to simulate shadows. Renoir painted thousands of artworks, many of which are among the most recognized and reproduced paintings in art's history. He regularly changed his art's direction. During the latter part of his career, he split away from pure impressionism and incorporated more realism into his works. For the last 10 years of his life, he concentrated on nudes and domestic scenes. The Barnes Foundation of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, has 181 of Renoir's paintings, which is the largest collection of his works in the world. Some of his most notable paintings are "Dance at Le Moulin de la Galette," "Luncheon of the Boating Party," "Two Sisters," "The Theatre Box"and "Girls at the Piano." During the last year of his life, he visited the Louvre to see his paintings displayed next to the French masters he had idolized in his youth. He died in the town of Cagnes-sur-Mer.

Pick near for Erie County OCY job
Erie County is getting close to hiring an interim director for the Office of Children and Youth to take over for the former director, who resigned 10 days ago after police charged him with stealing from the public at his previous job, in Warren County.
The administration of Erie County Executive Kathy Dahlkemper wants to make the interim appointment "as soon as we can. We are meeting with a couple people this week," John DiMattio, director of the county's Department of Human Services, said Wednesday.
DiMattio, whose office oversees OCY, said the county will start searching for a permanent director for OCY once an interim director is in place. The county posted the opening for the permanent position on July 9 -- the day after the previous director, Kevin Lundeen, resigned after being on the job less than three months.
Erie County will accept applications for the permanent OCY director through Wednesday. The salary for the nonbargaining position ranges from $49,213 to $92,102, but County Council will set the final amount.
Lundeen's salary in Erie County was $71,000. Dahlkemper, who took office in January, hired him to succeed Mary Ann Daniels, who left the OCY director's post to take over as head of the county's Office of Drug & Alcohol programs.
Lundeen, 48, of Ripley, N.Y., was the director of children and youth services for Warren County for 12 years before he took the post at OCY in Erie County. Dahlkemper hired him in March, and his first day on the job was April 14.
Police in Warren County on July 8 charged him with using publicly owned vehicles and gas cards for his own use between 2005 and April 10 of this year, when Lundeen resigned from the job in Warren County.
The police investigation started about three weeks after Lundeen started working in Erie County, according to arrest records. The director of the Warren-Forest Department of Human Services contacted police in Warren County on May 1 with concerns, according to the records.
Lundeen is charged with one count of theft and two counts of access device fraud, all third-degree felonies; and one count of forgery as a first-degree misdemeanor.
Police in Conewango Township accused him of driving a van and an SUV owned by the Warren-Forest County Department of Human Services for personal use, forging other county employees' signatures on gas card receipts, and falsifying duty and travel logs for those vehicles, according to the criminal complaint. The police allege the total loss to the public was $68,500.
Lundeen's preliminary hearing was originally scheduled for Wednesday, but it has been moved to Aug. 20, before District Judge Laura Bauer, in Warren. He is free on unsecured bond of $50,000.

- Crucial for rehearsals & gigging (By Grant)
Price Value Quality
Not only is this pedal a great boost but it also seems to add some extra color to the sound, it gives the tone some more character. It's also great to just crank it full and use as a very natural overdrive, like how Jack White usually does.
But don't take my word for it, every amp and pedal rig is different. Just know this is a quality pedal, and if you're looking for a boost with some EQ options, then this is the beast you should try out. (Posted on 11/29/15)

Overall, a wonderful pedal that I didn't know how much I wanted until after I had it in my rig! Pro Guitar Shop was incredibly quick with the shipping, too. Well packaged and arrived safely. (Posted on 12/3/13)

MXR Custom Shop MicroAmp+ CSP233
MXR Micro Amp Plus CSP233
For more than 20 years, the MXR Micro Amp has been a staple among the world's top artists because of its ability to boost and sweeten up your guitar or bass tone and drive the front of your amp. The MXR Custom Shop team has combined those features with a specially-tuned EQ section and low-noise op-amps to create the Micro Amp+.
With its Gain knob, the Micro Amp+ allows you to dial up just as much gain as the original—up to +26dB—but with added EQ controls, you can now finely sculpt your boosted signal. For the classic Micro Amp sound, set the Bass and Treble controls to noon.
Along with these upgrades, the MXR Custom Shop team added low-noise op amps—so you don't get any extra noise at super high levels—and true bypass switching. With the sturdy housing and durable components that MXR is known for, this pedal is ready for the road.
MXR Micro Amp Plus CSP233 Features
- Up to +26dB clean boost
- Specially tuned bass and treble controls for fine tonal shaping
- Low noise circuitry
- True bypass switching
- 9vDC power jack

"This offering will be an important continuation and expansion of the services we currently provide out of our facility in Groningen, The Netherlands," says Karen King, president of DSM Biologics. "Clients will have the added advantage of being able to choose between standard technology processes or Royal DSM's proprietary XD® and DSP optimization technologies.
"The services offered at the site will support all mammalian cell lines and process technologies including standard CHO-based systems and the PER.C6® cell-line technology, to which DSM has co-exclusive licensing rights for proteins and mAbs, together with the Dutch biotech company Crucell," she continues.
The new biologics manufacturing facility is anticipated to be commissioned and operational in 2013. BioPharmaceuticals Australia is responsible for the overall initiative on behalf of the Queensland Government and has selected DSM Biologics to operate the facility.
The biotechnology industry in Australia is rapidly growing with over 400 companies currently engaged in development activities and an estimated A$60 million ($55.47 million) in annual CMO activity fees being exported out of the country due to the lack of a local CMO, according to DSM.

1996 Season Review
BIG EAST Tournament Runner-Up
The Lady Friars won their last six of eight games of the regular season and finished as the BIG EAST Championship Runner-up after falling to fifth ranked Connecticut in the Championship final, 3-2.
The Lady Friars upset second seeded Boston College, 3-1 in the first round of the tournament held at Storrs, Ct. PC recorded 19 shots and 15 penalty corners while BC only managed 11 shots and six penalty corners. The Lady Friars had goals by Erica Hebert, Heather Koopman and Mirandi Balg.
PC advanced to the Championship game and played the Huskies who had been ranked nationally all year. The Lady Friars fell 3-2 for the BIG EAST Championship in front of over 1,000 spectators. Junior Paula Wagoner and sophomore Heather Koopman scored while rookie Andrea Weyl recorded 11 saves between the posts. It was not surprising to see one of Barto's teams reach the final. Although none of her current players had seen action in a BIG EAST final, Barto and her squads dominated the BIG EAST for three consecutive years - 1989-1990 and 1991 winning the Championship two of those years (1989, 1991) and losing in the final in 1990.
The Lady Friars began the season 0-3 dropping games to Ball State, Northeastern and Connecticut but quickly turned things around with wins over Villanova, Rutgers and Holy Cross in the following two weeks. PC also added wins against Syracuse (1-0), URI (4-0), and New Hampshire (1-0) to close out the season.
Wagoner continued her impressive career earning First Team All-BIG EAST honors for the second consecutive season and also garnering Third Team All-America honors. Senior Julie Fahey and junior Jamie Shipman were named Second Team All-BIG EAST while three freshmen were named to the BIG EAST All-Rookie squad. Wagoner led the team offensively with 20 points and was a finalist for PC Athlete of the Year.
Freshman Erica Hebert was third on the team in scoring with 17 points as she earned All-Rookie status. Junior Alissa Wickles finished with 10 points while sophomore Mirandi Balg recorded eight points for Providence.
The Lady Friars peaked at the right time as they began a hot streak on October 9th when the squad defeated Yale, 2-0. That win was the beginning of the squad winning seven of ten games and an impressive run into the BIG EAST Championship. In fact, in the last four games of the regular season, PC shutout their opponents and out-scored them 7-0.
Rookie Andrea Weyl started the last six games of the season and recorded nine starts throughout the season. Weyl allowed no goals in PC's last four games. The rookie earned a 6-2 overall record with a 1.49 goal against average and a .849 save percentage.
The junior class was the most productive this season offensively for the Lady Friars. Juniors Paula Wagoner and Heather Koopman led the Lady Friars in scoring production with 18 points each. They helped their class to 46 points overall while the seniors produced 11 points, the sophomores 11 points and the freshmen tallied 23 total points.

Slender Bed Pillow
Prevents Stiff Necks and Perfect For Stomach Sleepers
Slender Bed Pillow
Prevents Stiff Necks and Perfect For Stomach Sleepers
Know the feeling of an overly fat bed pillow? We do and it's called a pain in the neck. That's why we had this slender bed pillow made specially for us. About half the thickness of most bed pillows, it is gusseted on all four sides so that the polyester filling won't lose its loft—and you won't wake up with a stiff neck. Perfect for stomach sleepers. Use alone, layer with your current pillow, or layer a pair for more plumpness, which allows you to un-layer during the night if you are like some of us who thrash around. 20"x28". 100% cotton cover. Machine wash and dry. USA of imported materials.
- Half the thickness of most bed pillows
- Prevents stiff necks
- Perfect for stomach sleepers
- Can stack two together or pair with other pillows for customizable comfort
- Gusseted sides prevent the polyester fill from losing its loft
- 100% cotton cover
Rated 4.2 out of 5Â by 80 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5Â by purposedriven Best Pillow Ever! Perfect! I must have fairly slim pillow I cannot stand a fluffy big pillow.This pillow is perfect not to slim not to fluffy. If your looking for a slim pillow this is it and a great price I almost paid $150.00 for a similar one so glad I didnt! September 13, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Granny Lovie My very comfortable pillow I have looked for a nice flat pillow. Most stores carry the big fluffy pillows. My neck does not like a big fluffy pillow. When this nice flat pillow arrived I was overjoyed. My sleep experience is now great. Thank you for carrying this marvelous pillow. September 8, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Sharon J. Love my slender pillows! I've been looking for a slender pillow for years. Throughout the years I have gathered quite a collection of different pillows but none of them worked. Most of them were too big, hurt my neck & shoulders or caused me too sweat because of the filling contents held in the heat. Since I bought two of the slender pillows I am sleeping so much better and wake up without pain. I love them and the price was very reasonable. Thank you. September 1, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Adrienne I will never buy another pillow again! I have really specific needs when it comes to pillows, and anything other than that exact thing that works for me will leave me miserable and unable to sleep. I've tried probably a dozen different kinds over the years, and this one is perfect. For as long as VCS sells this pillow or as long as I live, I will never buy another pillow. It's not too high as nearly every other stomach sleeper pillow I've tried has been, and it's very soft. It would not be possible for me to be happier with this purchase! August 30, 2016
Rated 4 out of 5Â by Idaho Ladybug Great pillow until it loses it's loft After using this pillow for a while, it got rather flat. I washed it in the washer and dryer as indicated and it came out good, but still flat. I've bought another one and if it does the same thing, I'll just use the two together. It's hard to find a thin pillow and this is by far the best one I've found. August 26, 2016
Rated 1 out of 5Â by Anniebj Poor quality I was excite to find a slender pillow and figured Vermont Country Store would have vetted the product. Sadly after just a few weeks this pillow has become a lumpy mess and I am putting it in the mail to return. Very disappointed. August 26, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5Â by fotofem Thin Pillows are very hard to find My physical therapist told me to use an extra thin pillow and also said that nobody makes them anymore. I didn't take no for an answer and in one pretty simple search I found this pillow, which I can now fold over and use precisely as she recommended. I found no other company offering this, and so I am overjoyed and extremely grateful to the folks at Vermont Country. I am glad to discover and highly recommend this very special company. August 26, 2016
Rated 3 out of 5Â by Kate683 Much thicker than described in catalog I have severe arthritis in my cervical spine (neck) and was looking for a thin, soft pillow. This one sounded perfect. It is supposed to be 3 inches thick, but measures about 5-6 inches. It is very soft, also well made. The filling "fluffs" like down, so can be moved around a bit. Although it isn't what I was looking for, I'm going to try it for a while. It's the closest I've found to what I need. May 12, 2016

MSO shows audience the power of Gershwin's 'Rhapsody'
Umpteen airline commercials and soundtrack appearances haven't dimmed the splendor of George Gershwin's "Rhapsody in Blue." Few orchestral works are both so stirring and so much fun at the same time, as the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra and pianist Stephen Beus proved Friday night at the Marcus Center's Uihlein Hall.
Conductor Francesco Lecce-Chong and the players brought a playful swagger to the rhapsody, beginning with Todd Levy's take on its famed clarinet opening. Levy played exquisitely, and with a lively facial animation that would have been at home on a '20s bandstand. »Read Full Article(1)
Ridge mesmerizing in Chamber Theatre's 'Underneath the Lintel'
Midway through his extraordinary solo performance in Glen Berger's "Underneath the Lintel" - being staged by the Milwaukee Chamber Theatre under C. Michael Wright's direction - James Ridge asks the audience whether we'd recognize a miracle if we saw one.
I know I've missed a few - "Lintel" suggests we all have - but I have no doubt I saw something akin to one Friday night, in watching as good a one-person show as I've seen anywhere in a long time. »Read Full Article(2)

Wiki engine hands-on test
Weaving the Web
Wiki engines drive patient data stores, repositories for ideas or documentation, and treasure troves of knowledge of all kinds. In this review, we put six of these engines through their paces.
Wikis (from the Hawaiian word for "quick") have been an important part of many computer users' private and professional lives for years. Wikis are even replacing expensive knowledgebase software in corporate environments. Wikis are perfect for weaving your own thoughts and words, and they make collaborative writing much easier.
The tools consist of a browser on the user's side and wiki software serverside. The number of engines on the market is well into three digits.

Groups have been busy reaching out to supporters new and oldvia direct mail, email, web sites, and social mediato drive traffic and donations to idahogives.org for the upcoming giving day.
Donors will have over 660 causes to choose from when they participate in Idaho Gives.
"We have been so impressed with all of the exciting and creative things our nonprofit partners have been doing to activate their supporters and to promote this critically important day for Idaho," said Janice Fulkerson, Executive Director of the Idaho Nonprofit Center, which is presenting the event.
"As with last year's blockbuster inaugural giving day, we expect people around the state to be celebrating nonprofits, giving to their favorite causes, telling their friends about Idaho Gives, and checking idahogives.org throughout the day to see just how generous Idahoans can be."
Activities and events related to the giving day are scheduled for all over the state.
For an up-to-date listing of events and local contacts, visit http://www.idahononprofits.org/idaho-gives-local-updates.
Last year, Idaho Gives raised nearly $600,000 for more than 500 charitable causes statewide.
The event mostly takes place online, driven by a central idahogives.org web site, where donors can learn about and designate funds for nonprofits in a variety of categories.
Corporate and individual donors have contributed more than $50,000 for a pool of award funds, which will be distributed to nonprofits through random drawings and daylong contests, allowing organizations and donors to multiply their donations.
Idaho Gives is sponsored by Idaho Central Credit Union, PacificSource Health Plans and the Idaho National Laboratory.
