NY suburb greets slimmed-down Moma
Moving Manhattan's famous Museum of Modern Art (Moma) to suburban Queens has forced director Glenn Lowry to put only Moma's "greatest hits" on display.
There just wasn't room for the entire collection, which has been moved to the suburbs while Moma's Manhattan building shuts its doors for a massive renovation project.
The new Moma, a former staple factory, only holds 800 people at one time, unlike the Manhattan gallery, which held upward of 3,000.
The Queens gallery is like a condensed history of 20th-century art: Picasso's Les Demoiselles d'Avignon hangs next to Matisse's The Dance, while in the next-door gallery Van Gogh sits alongside Cezanne.
And there are contemporary masters too: Chuck Close, Chris Ofili and a video piece from Bruce Nauman, continuing the story of art through the century
Mr Lowry says the new Moma will have its own appeal.
"One explodes into The Dance by Matisse, and into the Pollocks, and de Kooning and Mondrian. It is a really powerful surge of great art.
"And it's a thing which would have been impossible to do in the Manhattan space, which is why I think people will come out and have a look," he said.
Fewer visitors
The gallery has spent $1m persuading people to come to the new site, yet art aficionados in Manhattan seemed doubtful whether they would be regular guests on the train trip over.
Moma estimates attendance figures would drop from 3,000 a day to only 1,000, but says it has budgeted for this.
However, in the mainly blue-collar area of Queens, locals welcomed the new gallery.
Real estate agent Andrew Gerstein said he would certainly visit.
"I happen to know exactly where it's being relocated. It happens to be a very up-and-coming area with people leaving Manhattan and moving to that part of Queens.
"I think it will attract a more sophisticated kind of people to that part of Queens and it will help the revitalisation of that part of the city. It's only a few stops from midtown Manhattan. I will go there."
The gallery will be open for three years in Queens, after which it will return to an extended and rebuilt Manhattan site.
Moma says then the Queens project will become a store room for art, but it is deliberately not promising anything. If it takes off, Queens could perhaps become a permanent satellite.
Moma at Queens opens this weekend with two days of free admission and a host of exciting events in New York, including a special fireworks spectacular over the city.

Civility alert: Obama supporters issue death threats against Romney
posted at 4:10 pm on October 8, 2012 by Howard Portnoy
So this is how civilized people behave when they have a difference of opinion or find fault with a politicians! They don't create some map with printer's registrations marks (or crosshairs if that's how you choose to view the symbols) to indicate legislative seats they want their side to retake. That's far too violent and ugly!
Instead, they express their ideas calmly and intelligently, the way rational people do. They tweet:
I crash that f**king airplane that that f**got n**ga Romney, stab Mrs. Romney in her GOD DAMN esophagus. & won't stop until the cops come in.
That's how Twitter follower LiftedBoy makes his feelings toward Mitt Romney known. If that's a little too civilized for your tastes, you may prefer the restraint exercised by JCBaltodano, who tweeted:
If Romney wins the elections I will start a national riot to kill his a**!
That tweet has since been removed, but there are dozens of others, all showing the same degree of self-control.
All share another trait. They have all been forwarded to the FBI by Todd Kincannon, a South Carolina attorney and former executive director of the South Carolina Republican Party, according to TheBlaze.com.
The article quotes the section of the U.S. Code (18 USC § 879) that explains the penalties for making "threats against former Presidents and certain other persons":
(a) Whoever knowingly and willfully threatens to kill, kidnap, or inflict bodily harm upon—
- a former President or a member of the immediate family of a former President;
- a member of the immediate family of the President, the President-elect, the Vice President, or the Vice President-elect;
- a major candidate for the office of President or Vice President, or a member of the immediate family of such candidate; or
- a person protected by the Secret Service under section 3056 (a)(6);
shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than 5 years, or both.

- - If I'm 5'11, is a 164cm board too big? (http://www.snowboardingforum.com/boards/24337-if-im-511-164cm-board-too.html)
If I'm 5'11, is a 164cm board too big?
Im looking at a 164cm Burton Wide board that has a 26.2 cm waist. I am a size 14 boot, so I need a wide but I dont know exactly how wide it needs to be. Is 164/26.2 too big? Its either this one or a 160/26 sized model.
I don't think so. The question is how much do you weigh and what type of terrain will you be riding in?
Im about 205-210 and I am probably just going down mountains/powder. I am not going to go to any parks or halfpipes or anything like that.
Also, which one would be better for me? the 164/26.2 or the 160/26? I am leaning towards the smaller one, but is it too narrow?
bump, i might buy tonight if i can get these questions answered
What size boots?
i am size 14
i would go a little smaller than 164 because of ur height probably around a 159
If you're not into jumping(not just limited to parks), and just want speed I think the 164 would be ok. I think weight is just as important as height, and I'm only 175lbs and my freeride board is a 158. What have you been riding? Its always nice to demo first when possible. The nice thing about buying a big name brand (if you must buy Burton), is that there has to be someone near you that rents or demos them. As far as your width, I don't think you'll notice 2mm much, but bring your boots with you and have a look.
IMO 164 is too big for you unless you're a bomber or ride only waist deep pow
If it's any help to you.
I'm 163 lbs, 5'8. I ride a 160 and it handles perfect. I like to bomb, and bomb it does!

KINDER AGGUGINI raised an interesting point backstage at his autumn/winter 2012-13 show when asked about the new direction of his collection. "I like the way the world of art updates. For clothes, it's frustrating. In fashion you have to do something that stays along the same lines each time. I'm schizo and I get bored. I chose fashion because I can do something different each time."
He has a point. Designers come in two moulds - those that have a signature and build upon it and those that change tack and reinvent themselves each time. Neither one way or the other is right or wrong, but it's something to think about and it's something Aggugini, though on his mind, isn't letting deter him from what he wants to do. And this season that comes in the shape of cowboys and "appropriation".
The designer took the celebrated cowboy photographs on 18th Century wallpaper and turned them into the backdrop for a collection of shirts, dresses and jackets and cloak coats.
"I started with taking the idea of menswear but doing it for girls and then making it girlier," he explained - citing the move into eveningwear looks towards the end. We had got there from the cowboy prints that begun the collection (and roamed across the garments in reds and greens) via a play on sheer and glitter lace somewhere in the middle. Kinder's cowboys had a glam luxe about them - his girl was certainly no longer the angsty teenager of last season. "I do this because I enjoy it. Otherwise I'd work for someone else," he reasoned of the flip.
The cowboy influence, he said, stemmed partly from a trip to Texas in the summer - and, for your information, he occasionally rides.
Aside from the collection, a special mention has to go to the music - a mash up of everything from Dolly Parton to Jay Z, which reminded the audience of their teenage days - and got more than one or two feet tapping. And another mention has to go to the green glitter lips - we had seen them earlier in purple at Moschino Cheap & Chic. Ladies, it's time to wear your lips sparkling - and pick up those style reins.

Calling all men: The UMKC School of Nursing wants you! UMKC Pathways program designed to break stereotypes, misperceptions of nursing professionAs more and more men discover the rewards of choosing a career in nursing, many of the stigmas and stereotypes associated with that choice are slowly beginning to disappear. Leaders at the University of Missouri-Kansas City (UMKC) School of Nursing (SON) hope to speed up that process and encourage men who are considering careers in health care to take a closer look at the nursing profession. The UMKC SON will provide the opportunity for that closer look as part of a special "Pathways to Nursing" program designed to introduce men to the nursing profession.
"Our goal is to talk to men who are considering careers in health care, but may not have considered nursing as an option," said Ronda Manney, R.N., M.S.N., clinical instructor and director of the UMKC Pathways to Nursing Academy. "There is a long-standing stereotype that nursing is just for women; that is simply not true anymore and we want to get that message out to men."
Sponsored by the UMKC School of Nursing and the Missouri Area Health Education Centers (MAHEC), this special Pathways program will be held on Saturday, May 17, 2008, at the UMKC Health Sciences building, 2464 Charlotte Street, on the UMKC Hospital Hill Campus in Kansas City, Mo. Attendees will have an opportunity to learn about the variety of nursing career options, participate in hands-on activities, and talk to men currently working as nurses. Light refreshments will be served and all attendees will receive a small gift, courtesy of the UMKC School of Nursing.
"Nursing, as a profession, has always encouraged and celebrated diversity, both within our ranks and within the communities we serve," said Lora Lacey-Haun, R.N., Ph.D., dean of the Nursing School. "Through the Pathways program, we are able to reach out to men, educate them and hopefully inspire them to explore careers in nursing." Scheduled speakers include:
Thad Wilson, Ph.D., Dean of the UMKC Undergraduate Nursing Program — Wilson is a Family Nurse Practitioner and has been on faculty at UMKC since 1995. He has been funded by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), American Nurses Foundation and other organizations to conduct research on immunizations and school-base immunization programs. Findings from his research have been published in several peer reviewed journals and presented both regionally and nationally.
Obie Austin, A.N.P. — Austin is a clinical instructor at the Nursing School and assists with minority retention and recruitment of male students. Previously employed in various clinics throughout Kansas City's Urban Core, his practice emphasis is on indigent care. Austin is a UMKC alum and is in the Naval Nurse corp. His current clinical practice is at UMKC's student health and wellness clinic and KC free health clinic as a volunteer provider.
Karl Kroen, F.N.P. — Kroen is a clinical instructor for the undergraduate nursing program and specializes in the transition of students into the clinical arena. He also directs the learning lab for 2nd-year nursing students, emphasizing basic nursing care and some advanced skills. His background is Emergency and ICU nursing for the past 10 years.
Shawn Zembles, C.N.S. — Zembles started his nursing career after serving 13 years as an EMT/Paramedic. Shawn has worked in a variety of nursing areas, including mental health and emergency/trauma settings. Prior to coming to UMKC as a full time instructor, Shawn served as a helicopter flight nurse and held a director level position with responsibilities for eight helicopter bases throughout the central United States.
The UMKC Pathways to Nursing Academy is a year-long program that provides a one-week on-campus residential experience in the summer, and monthly on-campus meetings throughout the school year. It is designed to introduce students, primarily from minority and underrepresented populations, to careers in nursing. Participating students learn about various nursing professions, participate in experiential learning activities, tour hospitals, and receive academic enrichment.
Any men interested in attending the May 17 program must RSVP by May 10 to Ronda Manney, email@example.com.
The University of Missouri-Kansas City (UMKC), one of four University of Missouri campuses, is a public university serving more than 14,000 undergraduate, graduate and professional students. Celebrating 75 years, UMKC engages with the community and economy based on a three-part mission: visual and performing arts, health sciences, and urban engagement.

Having spent Tuesday promoting an Autumn Statement full of schemes to promote lending to small and medium-sized businesses, George Osborne can't have been too pleased to read yesterday's Financial Stability Report from the Bank of England. It was full of reasons for the banks to lend less rather than more.
Of course, that's not what Sir Mervyn King, the Bank's Governor, actually said. Quite the opposite, in fact – he explained that while banks did need to build up capital in the face of the eurozone crisis, they should do so by showing restraint on bonuses and dividends, rather than by reducing lending.
To which one can only say, best of luck with that. For Sir Mervyn knows better than most that this is not how the City operates.
Banks facing calls to raise their capital ratios can respond by topping up their reserves – in the way Sir Mervyn suggests, for example – or by shrinking the balance sheet, which sits on the other side of the equation. The latter is the easier option.
The Bank is doing its best to stop Britain's financial sector being dragged into a second credit crunch – making it clear yesterday, for example, that it is happy to see liquidity buffers run down at banks struggling with blocked-up wholesale funding markets.
That will be helpful in the short term, but in the end the eurozone crisis is about solvency rather than liquidity – Sir Mervyn's desire to see capital reserves increased reflects his concern about banks' exposure to insolvent sovereigns across the Channel.
The total compensation banks award their staff will be down on previous years – not because of the Bank's pleas, or even a desire to placate the City's critics, but because 2011 has been a miserable year for investment banking. Do not expect the banks' rainmakers to be any less demanding, though, or for shareholders to compromise on dividend payments.
Where does that leave businesses and households who want to borrow? The short answer is not in a place that is any happier than today. That is to say, credit will remain constrained – and many borrowers may find that even the loans they are offered come at too high a price.
Meanwhile, we wait with interest for further details of the counter-cyclical tools the Bank of England will soon have at its disposal in order to promote financial stability. One of those tools is expected to be the option of reducing capital requirements in order to promote credit provision at times of stress.
The problem is that when the stress is caused by the potential for a banking crisis, that's not a tool the Bank can afford to use.

well today just put me over the top for thinking that i have a factory freak.
previously before i had gutted my uppipe i raced a header/tbe/intake subaru with bov and 2 more people in the car and i passed him like nothing. this was odd but i think he had something wrong with his car or he coudltn drive. so my friend and i kinda thought it was a factory freak but werent sure.
then we raced a fmic/box/tbe/up wrx and he wouldnt pull anywhere. he got about a car ahead of me on the launch then stayed there until we shut down.
then i gutted my uppipe.
then this afternoon i came upon a 04 with tbe/intake and some bigger size wheels. he was by himself and i was with a freind of mine. we went from a 30 mph roll in 2nd and by the end of second i was a nose ahead of him and by the end of third his nose was at my door.
what do you guys think factory freak or not?
Cliffs notes: raced 04 wrx w/ tbe/intake/rims in my 03 w/ catless uppipe and no muffler and won by 1/2 car.

Change your medical or dental plan
Each year during open enrollment (November 1 to 30), you have the opportunity to change your medical or dental plan. If you need to make a change during other times of the year, you need to provide proof of the qualified life event, such as marriage or birth, that corresponds with the plan change.
Changes during open enrollment
Open enrollment occurs between November 1 to 30, during which time you can change your medical or dental plan for any reason.
Changes due to a life event
Certain life events allow you to change your medical or dental coverage. When one of these events occurs, you're allowed a "special open enrollment" period during which you can make changes. Events that qualify include:
- Marriage or domestic partner registration
- Birth or adoption
- Change in employment status
- Loss of other health insurance coverage
- Legal custody or guardianship of a child
- Disability of a child
- Change in residence that affects health plan availability
- Court order that requires a child to be covered
- Medicaid, Medicare, CHIP, or TRICARE coverage changes
- Loss of HSA eligibility
- A medical condition or treatment that disrupts care and reduces benefits
If you're unsure whether or not an event qualifies for a special open enrollment period, contact Benefits. Events that qualify are defined by the state in the Washington Administrative Code 182-08-198.
How to change medical or dental coverage due to a life event
You have 60 days after the event occurs to make changes to your insurance coverage.
To change your medical or dental coverage due to a life event:
- Complete the 2017 Employee Enrollment Change form.
- Provide proof of the event.
- Within 60 days of the event, submit all necessary documents to the Benefits Office.
When coverage starts
The date coverage starts depends on when you submit your enrollment documents. In general, coverage begins the first day of the month following whichever happens later: the date of the event or the date when you submit the enrollment documents.

Recap |
Last Time Against the Buckeyes
Ohio State will mark the first team Michigan will play for a second time in its first year as a varsity program. The Wolverines and Buckeyes met for the first time in Ann Arbor in ALC regular-season play on April 2, when OSU came away with an 18-3 victory. Jess Angerman, Tess Korten and Madeline Dion each tallied goals for U-M.
Triple Threat
The trio of Anna Schueler, Jess Angerman and Tess Korten has been dubbed Michigan's "triple threat." The three have combined for 61 percent (120-of-197) of U-M's total points this season, including 58 percent (87-of-150) of its goals and 70 percent (33-of-47) of its assists. They have also hauled in 55 percent (105-of-190) of draw controls for the Wolverines. All three players are members of Michigan's five-person Leadership Council, which was voted on by coaches and teammates to replace captains for the team of 27 freshmen.
Ending on a High Note
Michigan capped the regular season with a dominating victory over Fresno State, 19-6, on Saturday (April 26), scoring a program-best 19 goals. It marked the Wolverines' third win over teams from the state of California and their fourth overall win of the season. Tess Korten and Jess Angerman each led U-M with four goals and one assist apiece in the win. Eight different Wolverines scored, while 23 different players saw game action.
Winning in Dramatic Fashion
Ironically, the Maize and Blue defeated both of its first two opponents from the state of California in double overtime by a score of 13-12. U-M got its first win in program history over UC Davis, 13-12, in its first double-overtime affair on March 30 and defeated California, 13-12, in double overtime on April 12.
Michigan 13, UC Davis 12 (2OT): The Wolverines outlasted UC Davis, 13-12, in a two-overtime thriller to notch the program's first victory on March 30, as freshman Anna Schueler put home the game-winning goal with 1:07 remaining in the sudden-victory period. Schueler and freshman Tess Korten accounted for 10 of Michigan's 13 goals, each contributing a career-best five scores. After UC Davis overcame a three-goal deficit to tie the game with 14 seconds remaining in regulation, freshman Madeline Dion scored as time expired, but it was ruled that the shot came after the buzzer, sending the game into overtime. In the first overtime period, Michigan scored first with 21 seconds left, but UC Davis answered to tie the game once again with 7.4 seconds on the clock to send the game to a second sudden-victory overtime. Schueler netted the game winner with 1:07 remaining to give U-M its first victory.
Michigan 13, California 12 (2OT): Against Cal, Jess Angerman and Tess Korten led U-M with four goals apiece, and also added two and three assists, respectively. Angerman scored both goals in overtime, including the game winner with 1:03 remaining in the sudden-victory overtime period to give U-M the win after more than 70 minutes of play. In the first overtime, the Golden Bears took an early 12-11 advantage, scoring within the first 34 seconds of play. With 1:46 remaining in the period, Korten assisted Angerman, to tie the game at 12-12. Strong Michigan defense for the remainder of the first overtime sent the game into the sudden-victory period. The Wolverines dominated the second overtime, as Michigan secured both draw controls and outshot the Bears, 5-0, leading up to Angerman's game-winning finish on an assist from Korten.
Wolverines Against Ranked Opponents
With six of its 2014 opponents appearing in the IWLCA top 20 and five that participated in the 2013 NCAA Tournament, Michigan ranks 32nd out of 103 Division I teams in strength of schedule this season according to LaxPower.com. During the middle stretch of the season, the Wolverines played a seven-game stretch that featured five top-20 ALC opponents. Michigan opened ALC play on (March 8) at No. 5 Florida, dropping a 20-4 decision, and hosted No. 8 Northwestern (March 11) for their first home conference tilt, where they lost, 20-6. At No. 14 Johns Hopkins (March 16), Michigan came up short, 20-5. U-M fell, 20-7, at No. 10 Penn State (March 23) and suffered an 18-3 loss to No. 17 Ohio State (April 2) to conclude that stretch. Michigan also competed against Navy, which was ranked No. 19 in the Brine Media Poll but was not ranked by the IWLCA at the time of that game. The Wolverines played Navy closely, coming up short, 12-9, in non-conference play.
Multiple Goal Outings
Nine different Michigan players have recorded multi-goal games this season, including a team-best 10 multi-goal performances from Anna Schueler. With five goals apiece in U-M's win over UC Davis, Schueler and Tess Korten, who has seven multi-goal games, are tied for the program record for most goals in a game. Jess Angerman, who has nine multi-goal outings, is tied for second with Kim Coughlan in goals in a game with four. Coughlan has seven multi-goal games with five coming in the last six games. Madeline Dion (2), Lauren Oberlander (2) and Sophie duPhily (1) have also recorded multiple-goal performances this year, as well as Allie Breitfeller (1) and Amanda Sutor (1), who joined that club with three and two goals, respectively, in U-M's recent win over Fresno State.
Hats Off to You
Five different Wolverines have recorded hat tricks in the program's inaugural season. Jess Angerman leads Michigan with six hat tricks. Anna Schueler (5), Tess Korten (4), Kim Coughlan (2) and Lauren Oberlander (2) also have multiple hat tricks this season. Allie Breitfeller was the most-recent Wolverine to record a hat trick, doing so in U-M's win over Fresno State (April 26).
Capitalizing on Opportunities
The Wolverines are being outshot by their opponents, 479-348, through 16 games this season but are capitalizing well on their limited attempts. U-M has put 75.9 percent of its shot attempts on goal and scored on 43.1 percent of its total shot attempts. Tess Korten leads the Wolverines with a 55.1-percent shooting percentage, scoring 27 goals on 49 shot attempts (including players with 20 or more shots). However, in games against non-ranked opponents during the regular season, the Wolverines were edged, just 278-257, in shot attempts, and in their four wins, they outshot their opponents, 138-94.
Contributing to the Point Column
Fourteen different Wolverines have scored at least one goal through the 16-game regular season, marking the first of their careers at Michigan, and of those 14, nine have also assisted on at least one goal. Jess Angerman moved into the team lead in points with 42 after U-M's regular-season finale, on 29 goals and a team-high 13 assists. Anna Schueler is second on the team with 41 points, including a team-best 31 goals. Tess Korten has recorded 27 goals and 10 assists, including the first goal in program history. Angerman has the longest active goal streak on the team, scoring at least once in each of the last seven games, tallying 19 goals during the streak. Kim Coughlan has come on strong late in the season and is fourth in points with 22 on 19 goals and three assists. Thirteen of Coughlan's goals have come in the last six games. Sarah Lugo is the newest Wolverine to contribute to the point column, scoring her first career goal on a free-position opportunity with 16 second remaining against Fresno State.
Consistent Starters
Six Wolverines have started all 16 games for Michigan, including Anna Schueler, Jess Angerman, Tess Korten, Sara Beach, Brooke Pancoast and Allison Silber. A total of 18 different Wolverines have earned the right to start at least one game this season. Lauren Pryor is the newest staple in U-M's starting lineup, appearing on the list of starters in each of the last eight games.
Scouting the Opponent: No. 10 Ohio State
Directed by third-year head coach Alexis Venechanos, Ohio State will enter Thursday's contest with a 12-5 overall record, including a 4-2 mark in ALC play. The Buckeyes, who had previously locked up the No. 2 seed in the tournament, fell to No. 10 Johns Hopkins, 8-7, in their ALC regular-season finale on Saturday (April 26), giving them a 3-4 mark against ranked opponents this season. OSU began the season receiving votes and has steadily moved up in the rankings, currently sitting at No. 10. The Buckeyes have dramatically improved from last season when they went 8-10 overall and earned the No. 5 seed in the ALC Tournament. OSU is tied for 12th in the NCAA, allowing an average of just 8.0 goals per outing. Junior goalie Tori DeScenza, who has all of OSU's decisions (12-5), has played a key role in that stat, recording 129 total saves and a save percentage of 49.6 percent.
Junior attacker Jackie Cifarelli leads Ohio State with 49 total points this season, including a team-best 43 assists. Cifarelli's 2.53 assists per game currently ranks second in the nation. Senior attacker Katie Chase has a team-high 42 goals and has also secured nearly a quarter of OSU's draw controls this season, winning 50 of its 209 total draws, which has allowed the Buckeyes to win the draw battle 209-164 over their 2014 opponents.
Hometown Connections
Two Michigan players have hometown connections to members of Ohio State's roster. Anna Schueler and OSU sophomore Kelsey Gallagher were teammates at Loyola Academy in Chicago, Ill., while Jess Angerman was also high school teammates with a pair of Buckeyes at Shoreham-Wading River (Long Island) -- freshmen Paulina Constant and Meredith Bushell.
Women's Lax 101
There are currently 103 NCAA Division I women's lacrosse programs across the country that compete in 13 different conferences. Michigan is a member of the American Lacrosse Conference (ALC), along with Northwestern, Florida, Penn State, Ohio State, Johns Hopkins and Vanderbilt. Recognized as one of the most competitive conferences in the country, Florida, Northwestern, Penn State, Johns Hopkins and Ohio State are each currently ranked in the top 10 nationally. Starting in the 2015 season, Michigan will compete in the newly formed Big Ten Women's Lacrosse Conference (Michigan, Northwestern, Ohio State, Penn State, Rutgers, Maryland). [ IWLCA Division I Poll ]
Leaders of the Pack
The team and coaches voted on a five-person Leadership Council in the fall that will take the place of team captains for the young first-year squad. Jess Angerman, Emily Braun, Tess Korten, Kelly Kubach and Anna Schueler were elected to help lead Team One day-to-day, while individual game captains will be selected on a game-by-game basis.
Team One Makes History
The Wolverines have experienced several "firsts" during their first season as a varsity program. Michigan's double-overtime win (13-12) against UC Davis (March 30) crossed another "first" off the list and went into the history books in dramatic fashion.
The Wolverines played the first game in program history on Feb. 22, at Villanova, coming up short, 20-7. Tess Korten wasted no time etching her name into the record book, as she scored the first goal in program history just 32 seconds into the game on an assist from Jess Angerman to give U-M an early 1-0 lead. Korten finished with a team-high two goals and one assist. Anna Schueler also added two goals, while Allie Breitfeller, Sophie duPhily and Regan Anderson also scored their first career goals in the historic game.
U-M hosted Marquette in its inaugural home opener on Feb. 28. The Maize and Blue took an early 5-0 lead in the first 5:25 of play but could not hold off MU's counterattack, eventually falling 12-10. Jess Angerman had a game-high four goals and two assists, including the first two scores of the game, and Lauren Oberlander also recorded her first career hat trick.
The Maize and Blue hosted its first-ever game in Michigan Stadium against Winthrop (March 20), losing by a narrow margin of 14-12.
Schueler Wins Back-to Back ALC Rookie of the Week Honors
Freshman Anna Schueler received the program's first two ALC weekly honors, as she was named the conference's Rookie of the Week in back-to-back weeks (March 26 and April 2). Against Penn State and Winthrop she combined for eight points (6G, 2A), nine draw controls, three caused turnovers and two ground balls.
During the second week, Schueler and Tess Korten each tallied five goals apiece against UC Davis, setting a program record for most goals in a single game. Her fifth goal of the game proved to be the game winner in double overtime, giving the program its first-ever win. She also added four draw controls and two ground balls in the win.
Meet the Coaching Staff
Jennifer Ulehla was announced as Michigan's first head coach in program history on Sept. 8, 2011. She signed the program's first recruiting class -- U-M's current team -- on Nov. 21, 2012, and has been working to build a championship culture within her program from day one.
Prior to coming to Ann Arbor, Ulehla gained experience in the development of a new program as an assistant coach at Florida from January 2008-June 2010. Taking a hiatus from collegiate lacrosse, Ulehla worked as an assistant coach with the U.S. National Elite Team from 2006-2009. Previous collegiate head coaching stops for Ulehla also include Temple (2004-06) and James Madison (1994-2002). She was inducted into the James Madison University Athletics Hall of Fame on Nov. 15, 2013, for her contributions to the program.
As a player, Ulehla was a two-time All-American at Maryland (1990-91) and also competed on the U.S. National Lacrosse team from 1990-95.
Assistant coach Jen Valore joined Ulehla's staff on Dec. 23, 2012, and is working primarily with the Wolverine defense. Valore was a four-year starter on defense for Ulehla at James Madison from 1997-2000. She captained the Dukes squad that reached the Final Four and was named South Jersey Collegiate Defender of the Year in 2000. Valore was also an assistant under Ulehla at Temple from 2004-06.
Assistant coach Casey Ancarrow was the latest addition to U-M's staff (July 1, 2013) and is the Wolverines' offensive specialist. She recently completed a standout career at James Madison, where she was a three-time IWLCA All-America third team selection and two-time Tewaaraton Award nominee. In addition to her career at JMU, Ancarrow was also a member of the U.S. Women's National Team from 2010-12.
Jess Angerman, who was named the team's Offensive Player of the Year at its recent awards banquet, moved into the team's lead in points after tallying five points (4G, 1A) against Fresno State. She currently has 42 points on 29 goals and a team-high 13 assists. She has recorded a career-high six points in two games this season, which ranks second in program history, tallying four goals and two assist on both occasions. Angerman is one of six U-M players to record a hat trick this season, doing so six times. She is also one of U-M's four primary players taking the draw, and is third on the team in draw controls with 26 total.
Tess Korten is third on the team in points with 37 (27G, 10A) and tied for second in draw controls with 28, securing three draws in each of the last three games. In U-M's first win over UC Davis, Korten and Anna Schueler tallied five goals apiece, setting a program record for most goals in a single game. In U-M's second win over Cal, she posted four goals and a career-high three assists, setting a new program record for most points in a game with seven. She led U-M in its season-opener at Villanova with two goals and one assists, including the program's first goal just 32 seconds into the game. Korten has tallied at least one point in 14 of 16 games this season, and has scored 21 of her 27 total goals this season in the last eight outings. All four of Korten's career hat tricks have also come during that eight-game stretch.
Anna Schueler, who was named the team's Most Valuable Player at its recent awards banquet, received the program's first two ALC Weekly honors, being named ALC Rookie of the Week in back-to-back weeks (March 26 and April 2). She owns a team-high 31 goals and is second in points with 41. Schueler is one of U-M's four primary players taking the draw, and leads the team with 51 draw controls, securing three or more in 10 games this season. In back-to-back games against Johns Hopkins (March 16) and Winthrop (March 20), Schueler came away with a career-best six draw controls. She also leads the Maize and Blue with 16 caused turnovers and is third in ground balls with 23. She has had a team-best 10 multi-goal games this season, including each of the last four games. Her career-high five goals against UC Davis, including the game winner in double overtime, match a program record for goals in a single game.
Kim Coughlan has tallied 22 points (19G, 3A) for U-M, including a career-high four goals in U-M's win at Detroit (April 16). She followed up her first career hat trick at Detroit with another three-goal performance against Vanderbilt. After recording just one multi-goal game in her first seven outings, she has notched multi-goal performances in six of the last eight games. She has also added 14 draw controls, 12 ground balls and five caused turnovers. Coughlan missed U-M's first game due to a foot injury, but returned for the home-opener against Marquette, coming off the bench, and has now started each of the last 12 games.
Madeline Dion has increased her production for the Wolverines on both ends of the field throughout the second half of the season. She has scored 10 goals this season, including at least one in seven of the last nine games. Dion has also recorded 13 ground balls, 11 caused turnovers and six draw controls this season.
Sara Beach is U-M's primary mark-up defender, often covering the opposing team's best attacker. She is second on the team in ground balls with 29, including a career-best five at Detroit. Beach has also contributed six draw controls and 15 caused turnovers, securing nine of those in U-M's last four games. At Jacksonville, Beach held the Dolphins' second-leading scorer, Taylor McCord, scoreless.
Kelly Kubach, who received U-M's Defender of the Year award at the team's recent award banquet, uses her ability as an on-ball defender and vocal leader to anchor the Wolverine defense. She is an extremely smart player that helps the defense communicate and work as a unit. She is third on the team in caused turnovers with 13 and also has 14 ground balls and six draw controls this season.
Brooke Pancoast is one of the Wolverines' strongest and tallest defenders with the ability to get in passing lanes and cause turnovers. She is a solid mark-up defender, and uses her strong field vision to direct Michigan's defensive unit. Pancoast is fourth on the team in ground balls with 21 and also has 10 draw controls and eight caused turnovers.
Allison Silber has earned the start in cage for the Wolverines in all 16 games, making 137 total saves, including a season-best 14 at No. 10 Penn State. She leads the Wolverines in ground balls with 37, including a career-high seven at No. 5 Florida. Her strong presence in the crease is an asset to U-M's young defense, while her ability to clear the ball is an important catalyst in Michigan's midfield transition. Silber made 13 saves in the program's first win over UC Davis, including one in overtime to help the Wolverines secure the win.

My husband and I just purchased our first sailboat. It's a 25-foot Seidelmann. I'm looking for some advice/techniques on docking. We are docked in a marina on an end slip, on the starboard side. We went sailing for the first time on our own last week and when we came back to the slip we hit the dock (no major damage, a few scratches on the front of the bow). I jumped off the boat onto the dock thinking this would help and lost my balance, scraping my knees and elbows.
It was a terrible experience. Even though it was a calm day, and we were going faster than we should have. Now it appears that we are having some trouble overcoming the fear of docking. We are thinking about coming up with a new technique, and were wondering if you could give us some advice?
Sailnet responds:
Thanks for the question. If its any consolation, youre not alone when it comes to the anxieties of docking a boat, especially if its a new boat, or if the whole boat thing is something of a new area for you. Theres an old saying that goes: 'dock as fast as you want to hit the dock,' and hearing that may help you.
The idea is to keep the boat moving fast enough that you have steerage, but slow enough that if something does go wrong, youll have time to do something about it. There are a couple of things to keep in mind. First, no jumping. As you found out, theres an increased chance of injury with dockings that require acrobatics to get the boat into the slip. Second, never put any body part in between the boat and the dock or pilings. Even a relatively light and small boat like yours will out-match fingers and hands should an ill-timed boat wake send the boat against these permanent structures.
With the safety bit out of the way, there are two secrets to perfect dockings. These are anticipating what the boat will do before it does it, and practice. Ideally, youll want to dock bow first into the wind or current, and avoid downwind or down-current dockings. The boat is more maneuverable bow first. In a cross wind, youll need to compensate for the forces moving your boat. Sometimes the bow has to be pointed into the wind or the current for the rest of the boat to go straight.
My advice would be to practice docking in your slip during calm conditions. Have all your fenders out and at the right heights. Fenders should be high enough that they dont touch the water so algae doesnt grow on the bottom, but low enough that they offer maximum protection. Also, have a bowline, a stern line, and a midship line ready to go. If youre travelling into the slip and you run a bowline aft, it will pull the bow in toward the dock. A better move might be to try a midship line, or use the stern line first. The midship line will connect you to the dock and also stop the momentum forward. The bow and the stern can then be brought in. Go as slowly as possible, but fast enough that you can still control the boat. Good luck.

Men's Tennis To Host NCAA First & Second Rounds
Kate Fuller and Jeff Wallace react to the Georgia women receiving the No. 1 overall seed, and Manuel Diaz and Hernus Pieters talk about Georgia men's tennis being awarded the No. 10 seed.
April 29, 2014
Men's NCAA Tournament Draw (PDF)
ATHENS, Ga. --- The Georgia men's tennis team (16-7) received the No. 10 overall seed and was named one of 16 hosts for the upcoming first and second rounds of the NCAA Championships, it was announced Tuesday evening. The Bulldogs will welcome Jacksonville State, NC State, and Oregon to Athens for regional round action May 10-11, with Georgia to square off against JSU in the first round.
Georgia and Jacksonville State will meet on Sat., May 10 at 1 p.m., while NC State and Oregon will face off at 10 a.m. that day. The winners will play one another in the second round on Sun., May 11 at 1 p.m. The later rounds as well as the individual singles and doubles tournaments will be held in Athens at the Dan Magill Tennis Complex May 15-26. Georgia is hosting the championships a record 31st time.
"We are certainly excited about all the great tennis that's going to be played here in Athens," said 26th-year head coach Manuel Diaz. "To host the regional is a feather in our camp. We were sort of anticipating the No. 10 seed. I thought we had a great regular season, but we had more losses than in recent years. There are so many great teams capable of winning the championship, and I believe we are one of them. It won't be easy for any of us. We really have to focus now, not on the round of 16 draw, but on the regional. You can't get to the final-16 site if you don't perform your best, period. We've got some fabulous competition coming in, and it should be a great weekend."
The Bulldogs receive an at-large bid into the tournament, winning the 2014 Southeastern Conference regular season title before falling to Vanderbilt in the quarterfinals of the SEC Championships earlier this month. The Bulldogs are making their 36th overall appearance in the tournament and 31st in a row, entering with a record of 94-30. Georgia reached the NCAA semifinals in 2013, and has reached the finals a total of 13 times. In all, the squad owns six NCAA championships, most recently coming in back-to-back seasons in 2007-08.
Jacksonville State (17-7, 8-1 OVC) earned its fourth bid to the NCAA Championships in program history by virtue of claiming the 2014 Ohio Valley Conference title with a win over Belmont on April 19. The Gamecocks have won six matches in a row and 11 of their last 12.
The UGA women's tennis team was also selected as a regional host - earning the No. 1 overall seed. The Bulldogs will open their tournament run against Elon on Fri., May 9, with Arizona and Florida State also making the trip to Athens.
A full schedule of play is listed below and the draws are available on NCAA.com (as well as attached in PDF format).
The fields for the individual portion of the tournament will be released Wednesday evening.
Live scoring and live video streaming will be available for all matches on Georgiadogs.com, free of charge. The Georgia Tennis Live Chat will be up and running for all UGA matches.

'Tis the season to be suspenseful, with a dash of romance thrown in for good measure! In this holiday treasure, four romantic-suspense writers try their hands at stories of holiday-themed love and intrigue. The standout is from J. D. Robb (a pseudonym of the bestselling Nora Roberts), whose futuristic suspense story, "Midnight in Death," begins with the delicious line, "Murder respects no traditions."
From this opening, police detective Eve Dallas has walked into the scene of a particularly nasty crime -- a man has been hanged, but slowly and painfully, with a biblical phrase carved into his body: Judge not lest you be judged. The man is a judge, and with him Eve finds a list of others who the killer is after -- and her name is at the bottom of that list!
It has shades of "Seven," but this is not a sadistic horror story, for J. D. Robb always manages to present a compelling detective story without much in the way of gore. Dallas was prepared to celebrate a nice Christmas with her husband, Roarke, but now it looks as if a killer is on the loose -- and one she knows all too well. The serial killer in question is none other than David Palmer, a man Eve had arrested after Palmer left a trail of corpses behind him. Now he's escaped from an off-planet penal colony. The murder story takes over Eve's life, but her romance heats up with her hubby as she proves that some women can have it all. A taut story, with a good deal of Christmas, tension, and love in heavy doses along with a neat murder mystery.
The other stories also rise to the occasion. Dee Holmes's "The Unexpected Gift" is an ironic and beautifully told tale of a woman and her young son who are managing their first Christmas without Daddy after the divorce. Sabrina McKay's son, Josh, finds something shocking nearby -- a dead body. Their entire holiday is changed with this discovery. In Claire Cross's offering, "A Berry Merry Christmas," an unusual nanny has a message for an orphan named Natalie and her Uncle Drew. And in Susan Plunkett's "Christmas Promises," Marne York gets a Christmas surprise when her former boyfriend is sent to give her a ride. Jake is not the guy she's wanted back in her life, but soon she and Jake join forces to track down a missing child.
All in all, this is a wonderful holiday sampler from these writers, who have delivered a stocking stuffer of a book for fans of romance, suspense, and the season of joy. Highly recommended, particularly for the instant-classic J. D. Robb story.

Type: Improvement
Status: Open
Priority: Major - P3
Resolution: Unresolved
Affects Version/s: 1.3.1
Fix Version/s: Backlog
Component/s: Performance
Environment:Ubuntu 9.10, 64 bit
If the memory mapped pages of a file are not present in RAM then a page fault is taken to get the contents. If there is concurrency and the requests do not have much in common then the situation gets worse as many (random) different areas will be taking page faults which causes lots of disk accesses including random seeks dropping throughput considerably. As this slows down completion of all executing requests, it increases the chance of another request coming in and if that starts executing, it will make things even worse. What you end up seeing is an essentially idle CPU, the I/O subsystem at 100% capacity and hard disks seeking their hearts out.
The consequence is that when MongoDB hits this capacity limit, performance falls off a cliff. There are several things that can be done to correct this:
- Reduce concurrency as saturation is approached to let requests complete quicker instead of having lots of slow very long running requests
- Under POSIX the madvise system call can be used. For example if an index or data is being sequentially read you could use madvise MADV_SEQUENTIAL|MADV_WILLNEED to suggest the kernel fill those pages in. You can use MADV_DONTNEED on pages that won't be needed again in the near future, as that will help the kernel determine which pages can be evicted to make space for new ones.
- You can use the mincore system call to determine if a page fault will be taken for a memory range. This is probably the best test for available concurrency (ie throttle how often you proceed when it returns false)
In a benchmark run, going from 5 concurrent worker processes to 3 decreased run time from 10h1m to 7h12m. The concurrency was killing performance! Conversely with CouchDB 5 workers took 8h1m and 3 took 10h.
it might be possible to achieve the same warning by looking at deviations of query time over the last x seconds/minutes. this way os specific functions would not be needed (especially since they might be difficult to work into the access code).
have x concurrent workers, watch speed over last x queries or seconds.
try with x-1 -> compare
try with x+1 -> compare
adjust x to best speed
do it again after x seconds or after deviation detected
limit x to be within min/max
it would be a similar auto-detection mechanism as used for indices, optimizing for best worker thread size automatically
@Matthias: While just watching query completion times will help, the problem with that is that throttling will affect all queries including those that could have been served out of memory immediately.
For example lets say that half of queries are over the same range of data which is consequently in memory, and the other half are very random. Throttling will affect both whereas only the random ones need to be throttled.
Taking advantage of operating system calls in order to be smart about throttling is a good thing.

WHAT IT MEANS AND WHY IT'S IMPORTANT Duane Reade's sale to Walgreens means a lot of things, but one thing that won't happen is that it will lose the unique identity that the chain has carved out in its hometown of New York, which allowed it to set itself apart from other retail pharmacies in the area. And in the process, Duane Reade is helping to redefine what a retail pharmacy can do and be.
(THE NEWS: Duane Reade teams up with JagTag. For the full story, click here)
It already has a swanky new store in Herald Square, near Penn Station, which includes foods under the DR Delish private label – including prepared foods – along with the usual mix of retail pharmacy products, a stylish branding scheme and a newspaper-style circular that includes short articles on products sold in the stores. Its private-label offers, under the DR Delish and Apt. 5 Goes Green brands, now include a host of environmentally friendly and healthy products like tissues made from sugar cane, stainless steel water bottles, organic salsa and lollipops made from organic fruit.
Now, it has a unique ad campaign to go with them through its partnership with JagTag.
The JagTag ads go beyond Facebook groups and Twitter postings and give a personalized touch to the use of digital technology in the retail pharmacy space. Not only that, but the coded ads and accompanying multimedia messages give Duane Reade a cheap way to advertise its services without the cost of laying out and printing posters.

Sticking with today's theme of interracial relationships, his single Blaxican tackles the topic of race relations in California, something M.E.D.'s got a unique perspective on given that his mother is Mexican and his father is black. It's not easy being a mixed-race kid, but M.E.D. seems to take it in stride and makes it look cool.

Reportage is the Australian Centre for Independent Journalism's (ACIJ) web magazine. It is dedicated to high- quality independent journalism.
The ACIJ is part of the University of Technology, Sydney (UTS) which is a leader in postgraduate and undergraduate journalism in Australia. The ACIJ is a not-for-profit organisation that aims to promote high- quality journalism, particularly investigative journalism.
Reportage was founded in 1996 by Wendy Bacon and Peter Cronau, two award-winning Australian journalists, and was once published as a hardcopy magazine before it was brought online in 2001.
Like the ACIJ itself, Reportage is committed to the idea that the media can play a role in making those in power accountable to the public. No topic or question is beyond the boundaries of Reportage. Those with power include media companies which should also be critiqued and questioned.
Reportage publishes features, news items, in-depth analysis, photojournalism, essays and ongoing reportage of issues. Our journalism is guided by the journalists' professional ethics. Our publication is constrained by the defamation and contempt laws of Australia.
Reportage strives to involve the public in open forums and encourages feedback on our stories. We recognise the importance of open dialogue and debate. We aim to fill some gaps in the media agenda and to give a voice to groups who struggle to be heard in the mainstream media.
Reportage is Sydney-based but our focus is on both national and international issues, engaging contributors from around the world.
Reportage is produced by professional journalists, members of the community, UTS staff as well as journalism students from several universities, including UTS, New York University and the University of New South Wales.
We welcome contributions from anyone, in any country of the world. Submissions can be in the form of written articles, video, photos and podcasts.
Reportage has partnerships with several other independent media organisations, including 2SER 107.3 and Pacific.scoop.

Britney Spears Goes Behind-The-Scenes of "Work B*tch" Video
She's never been afraid of her sex appeal, but Britney Spears ended up trimming some racy content from her uber-popular "Work B*tch" music video before it saw the light of day.
And now the "Toxic" songstress is giving her fans an inside look at some of the crazy content she cut, including a shot of her whipping a lingerie-clad lady.
Spears posted another image of herself leaning against a wall sporting a leather bra and shorts via Instagram for all to see.
Britney added the caption, "Behind the scenes photo from the #WORKBXXCH music video for my upcoming E! Documentary... #IAmBritneyJean."
Meanwhile, later this month Mama Spears will kick off a two-year residency at Planet Hollywood in Las Vegas for which she'll take home a cool $30 million!

To me, it's clear there's more money out there than talent to spend it on. Overpaying a UFA is a luxury rich teams can afford, because they really should have room under a 70 mil. cap. Prust is exactly the kind of player this team needed. Look at the difference Staubitz made, who isn't half as useful a hockey player.
Not going crazy. Prust is mid-size, tough as nails 4th liner who excels on the PK and can play some 3rd line minutes. In that role, he's one of the best in the league. I think fans in Montreal will appreciate what he brings, and won't obsess over his salary or his stats.
Wild overpayment, tho. I really can't pretend otherwise. Just glad we spent the money on something we really, really needed.

Please note that the following schedule for the 2014-2015 season is subject to change. Game times, locations, and dates may change due to weather or other unforeseen circumstances.
As the season came to a close, two of the Bates captains were able to reach personal milestones. Chris DeBrase '14 , Sean Thomas '14 both finished their Bates hockey careers with over 100 career points.
Bates took the number one overall seed into the championship game, their first appearance in this game since 2011. Matt Mosca'14 played notably well in net, yet the Bobcats fell to Sacred Heart University by a score of 6-5.
Bates jumped out to an early 3-0 with goals coming from Jake Bergeron '16 , Sean Thomas '14 , and a power play tip in by Ty Silvey '14 . Sacred Heart was able to score a late goal in the first to bring the game to a 3-1 score.
Bates played Bridgewater State on Saturday Feb. 15th, in what was a rematch of a game played just a week earlier. Fueled by the top line of Chris DeBrase '14, Sean Thomas '14 , and Mark Upton '17, and stellar goal tending fromMatt Mosca'14 the Bobcats were able to take home a 4-3 win, and a spot in Sunday's championship game.
With a 3-1 win over Merrimack College on Feb 11th, the men's hockey team took home their first regular season championship since 2009. With this win the Bobcats finished the regular season with an overall record of 11-2-2 and 8-2-2 in league play. This also gives Bates the number one overall seed for the NECHA playoffs.

Have you been following the outpouring of new research about the important role of bacteria in our body and its link to our health? There was very little information about how our microflora (a.k.a. gut bacteria) influenced our health until about five years ago. The new findings are truly revolutionizing our understanding of health and nutrition (think probiotics and prebiotics).
