Engage the audience: Key points in email design and campaign management
There can be little doubt that email remains an effective method of communicating with clients. If run correctly, return on investment can be colossal. Even run badly, savings on traditional forms of marketing can still make email an attractive option. Some of the best-run email campaigns are naturally emerging from the larger organisations. This doesn't mean they all score well. In fact some larger concerns are still rather backward in their approach, but on the whole there are some great examples to learn from.
With the advent of broadband, in the same way web sites have suddenly become more adventurous, so can email. Now it's possible to attempt to captivate the reader with embedded animation, video or even games for instance. So long as Microsoft doesn't apply any more restraints through new versions of Outlook, email can really begin to reach its full potential. While visual impact is undoubtedly of prime importance, there are of course several other important aspects that should be considered.
1) Get the design right. Recipients will not generally spend much time considering the virtues of your email. It either engages and generates a click-through or completely misses and therefore becomes consigned to the deleted items folder.
2) Repeat your message. Not quite the stuck record approach, but the message needs to be deviously repeated several times. After all, you wouldn't want someone to take the time to actually open your email but completely miss the point of it.
3) The call to action. Make it clear and obvious what you want the recipient to do. If you are aiming to get people to follow a link through to your web site, make certain the link isn't lost among a glut of text. As with the general message, it may be worth repeating the hyperlink more than once. Most people are conditioned to look for a button image.
4) Don't get too flashy. Keep in mind the fact that overly clever flash and graphics etc. can be chopped out by some modern email applications. While advocating the need to be attention grabbing it's perhaps worth remembering that similar rules apply to regular web page design. If the animation is not totally necessary it's perhaps best to play it safe and leave it out altogether.
5) Build in analytical capabilities. It's important the action of recipients are tracked and monitored. This should include not only the delivery, open and click-though rates but also be extended to include beyond email statistics provided from web site statistics such as conversion tracking, post click and post view. Post click illustrates the actions of web site visitors after clicking through from an email, whereas post view provides details of people who visited the web site at a later date.
6) Clean mailing lists. Keeping mailing lists up to date can create a fair bit of behind the scenes work, but it's worth the effort in order to keep response rates to an optimum. It's also well worth trying to profile your recipients. From details gathered from web site forms or through past buying history, clients should be cleverly categorised through their preferences with regards to products, services and average spend etc.
7) Technical considerations. It's worth ascertaining where recipients might struggle to view your email properly because of peculiarities with their email service…..ie hotmail, AOL and Yahoo. Good practice is still to offer the choice of HTML or plain text when signing people up, although pushing HTML will allow you to better engage recipients if they are able to view this format. As a failsafe a plain text version will at least allow you to communicate something to those with antiquated systems. An alternative is to give people the option to view a copy of the email as a web page online.
8) Be open, offer an opt-out. Regardless of current legislation it's always best to give people the option to opt out from your mailing. On the whole however, very few will bother, but it does show that you are respecting their rights and acting professionally.
9) Subject line and opening text. Remember most emails are scan read…if they are read at all that is. Keep in mind the fact that emails are often simply previewed using something similar to Outlook's auto-preview, making the subject line critical. While the preview pane can still display graphics etc, often only a small section at the top of the email will show. Therefore some catchy imagery, branding or text will help lure people in.
10) Check your web site. If the main aim is to get people to click through to a web site, and 9 times out of 10 it is, make certain everything is set up to cope. There's nothing worse than successfully winning a mass of traffic, only to find that the web site regularly falls over at times of high demand. If this is a particular problem it could be worth trickling emails out over a longer period to avoid a bulk responses. Moving graphics to an external host will also lessen the strain on the web server.

Margaret lives in Germany and Evan lives in Texas. They're both in college, which means transcontinental trips are not generally in the cards. Lucky for the young couple, Margaret's parents decided to fly Evan in as a birthday surprise. In this heartwarming video, which was viewed more than 70,000 times on the first day it was uploaded , Margaret spots Evan at the airport instead of the family friend she was expecting. For the family friend's sake, we'll assume that he or she would have been greeted with an equal amount of tears of joy.

So you think you know how you'd react, eh?
Well, let me tell you. I always said the same thing. Fri morning was the test to all that bravado.
Some here know that I keep weapons in my home. Some are designed for home protection. Some I purchased for the range. Some are great for sport shooting. Others are for wide open spaces and a few hundred yards of target practice.
I didn't have a single firearm where I wanted it that morning. Why didn't I say 'where I needed it'? 'Cause it turns out I didn't 'need' it.
Working from home at 9:15AM or so, the doorbell rings. Not an unusual thing for my home. It's usually a family member who lives nearby.. or a solicitor. I didn't pay much attention, but I did peek through the window to see a white Gran Marquis in my driveway. Well, my 90 yr old neighbor has one of those and he comes around every now and then to tell me about 1935- or whatever is on his mind. Today was not the day for that, so I didn't head to the door- about ten feet away around a corner.
But then this REALLY LOUD knock comes at the door. That was confusing. Why would my old neighbor knock that hard? Another LOUD knock. WTF? I started towards the door. Two steps. Two KNOCKS. I was now pissed, but I have delt with delusional elderly's before. I didn't want to scare him. I wanted to calm him down.
By the time I rounded the entry and saw through the glass that this person was absolutely not 90.. not frail.. and not who I thought he was... the door swung open. I was four feet away from a man who'd just kicked in my front door.
In. My. Home.
I had no weapon. I was not dressed. I was not ready. I had only me. Myself. My home. The place my daughter feels safe. The place my wife feels like she can be the woman I married. Our place.
The door swung open. His foot hit the floor from kicking in the door. And here's where it gets.. a little weird. It took this man coming inside my house to know that someone was breaking in. When I realized it, I went absolutely primal. I bowed up, raised my clenched fists... and I looked him dead in the eyes. This voice arose from me that I have never heard. It was demonic. It was LOUD. I yelled with all of the instinct and adrenaline and years and years of evolution,
His knees buckled. His hands raised to his face like he was afraid to get shot. I saw in a human being the full fear that I was going to kill it. I didn't care. He was not coming in my house. Not into my place. Not into my peace. Not into my family. He was going to kill me or I was going to kill him. Period. I was still going to kill it. I was going to end it's life. Barefoot. Bare hands. No pants, no shirt. No gun.
He stepped towards his car parked in my driveway. He looked back as I followed him..He wondered if I was going to shoot him. Guess what.. I would have. I KNOW I would have! Not a threat? My ass! He was going to his car. What was in his car? A gun? A partner? If I had been armed, I would have absolutely shot his ass in his back. I wanted the threat I saw in him over. Done. Snuffed. OUT.
Why THE FNCK did I follow him? WTF was I thinking? I will tell you.. I wasn't. I wanted to see his face. I wanted to ALWAYS know who he is. I wanted him to KNOW I know him. I wanted him to KNOW I know his soul. And I do. I will never forget him.
So as he climbed into his car, I stood.. 10 feet away from him... looking into his eyes. STRAIGHT into his eyes. I pointed. I used all my rage. I yelled... "I GOT YOU MF'ER! I KNOW YOU! I GOT YOU!"
He yelled back at me from inside his car, "Oh! You got me huh?"
It was then that I considered he might have a gun in his car. I chose then not to be a foot from the car door. I stayed back. But I didn't let him know how scared I was. I yelled back....
"Yeah, BITCH! I GOT YOU! COME BACK! YOU COME BACK! I GOT YOU! I WILL KILL YOU!"
He left. I got his license. I called the police. I will ALWAYS know him. I will know who he is until the day one of us dies. If I saw him on the road, I would know it was him.
I don't want him dead for me. I want him dead so I know he will never do that to another man or his family. This man violated my place. My peace. The peace of my daughter. The peace of my wife. The place I promised I would protect for both of them.
As for the man's soul... I will tell you this. I know him. I could talk to him. He was a ball player. He wasn't always a loser. I would have no problem with him on any given day.. except that day.
I am working through the switch that was thrown in my human experience. I now know that I can and would kill another human being. All the talk aside. I absolutely would have killed him. In my HEART I know I can. I will. I WANTED him dead. That's a weird thing to deal with. You can say you would. You can say should. But when it gets down to it... forget *should* you...*would* you? *could* you?
I know I would. And that freaks me out a bit... Or a lot...

CXCL16 as an Early Response Chemokine in Rat Adjuvant and K/BxN Serum Induced Arthritis Models.

We and others have previously shown that the transmembrane chemokine CXCL16 and its counterpart CXCR6 are important in the pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) predominantly via recruitment and stimulation of mononuclear cells. However, the expression pattern of CXCL16 during the development of RA and the optimal time point for therapeutic targeting remain unclear. In the present study we determined the spatiotemporal expression of CXCL16-CXCR6 in rat adjuvant induced arthritis (AIA), a rodent model for RA. We also examined joint swelling in CXCR6 deficient (CXCR6-/-) and wild-type (Wt) mice administered K/BxN serum, an acute model of RA.
Rat AIA synovial tissues (STs) were immunostained to determine the percentage of cells expressing CXCL16 and CXCR6. CXCL16 levels were also determined in serum and ankle homogenates using ELISA assays. CXCR6 expression was evaluated on rat macrophages and tested to induce rat macrophage migration towards soluble CXCL16 using a modified Boyden chemotaxis system. Lastly, CXCR6-/- and Wt C57BL/6 mice were primed to develop K/BxN serum induced arthritis and evaluated for joint swelling.
CXCL16 showed constitutive expression on endothelial cells in rat AIA, and was upregulated on both lining cells (LCs) and macrophages on day 14, prior to arthritis onset (p<0.05). CXCR6 was virtually absent in normal ST but was expressed on LCs and macrophages on day 14. CXCL16 levels in serum and joints were increased on day 4 of rat AIA, suggesting that CXCR6 positive inflammatory cells migrate very early to the ST in rat AIA. Rat macrophages constitutively expressed CXCR6 in vitro and migrated in response to the ligand in a dose-dependent manner. Finally, using the K/BxN serum induced arthritis model, CXCR6-/- mice showed significantly reduced joint swelling compared to Wt mice at day 5 after serum induction.
CXCL16 and CXCR6 are upregulated in the early course of rat AIA. CXCL16 positive macrophages and LCs are found predominantly prior arthritis onset. Rat macrophages express CXCR6 and migrate in response to CXCL16 in vitro. In addition, CXCR6-/- mice show significantly less joint swelling using in an acute model of RA, suggesting that CXCL16 and CXCR6 function early in disease development to recruit inflammatory cells to the joint. Our findings may help guide in vivo targeting strategies for the CXCL16-CXCR6 pathway in RA.

Kentucky's Noel tears ACL, out for season
LEXINGTON, Ky. — Kentucky received the news it dreaded Wednesday when freshman forward Nerlens Noel was declared out for the season with a torn ligament in his left knee.
Noel tore his ACL on Tuesday night when No. 25 Kentucky lost at Florida. An MRI revealed the injury, and the 6-foot-10 forward will have surgery in the next two or three weeks.
The projected recovery period is six to eight months.
Noel's injury deals a serious postseason blow for the defending national champions, who had appeared to be gaining some footing after struggling earlier this season while trying to blend in four freshmen.
Leading the way defensively for the Wildcats was Noel, who began Tuesday first in the nation with 4.5 blocks per game.
The rookie took a positive approach to the diagnosis, posting on Twitter: "Minor setback for a MAJOR comeback! I love you all and can't thank y'all enough for the prayers."
Noel was hurt with eight minutes left in the Wildcats' 69-52 loss to the seventh-ranked Gators. He ran into the basket support after blocking a layup from behind. Noel landed awkwardly, dropped to the floor and started screaming while clutching his knee.
Noel had eight points, six rebounds and three blocks before the injury.
"I've been coaching for 22 years, and this is the first injury we've had of this kind during the season, which makes it even more devastating," Kentucky coach John Calipari said in a statement.
The question is if Kentucky (17-7, 8-3 Southeastern Conference) can bounce back from the devastating loss.
With Noel out, 7-footer Willie Cauley-Stein now must man the post for Kentucky after spending most of the season as Noel's backup.
UConn center apologizes after incident
Connecticut center Enosch Wolf appeared in court Wednesday on charges of third-degree burglary, criminal trespass and disorderly conduct.
University police arrested Wolf just before 6 a.m. Monday after what they called a domestic dispute.
"I'm sorry for what I put the university through, what I put the coaches through, the people of the university, my teammates and my family," Wolf said after his brief court appearance.
Wolf is not due back in court until March 20, after the basketball season is over. His attorney, Robert Britt, said Wolf continues to live on campus and take classes at the university.
Wolf, who is from Goettingen, Germany, had been a key contributor off the bench for the Huskies, following the transfer of Alex Oriakhi to Missouri in the offseason. He averaged 3.4 points and 3.4 rebounds in 22 games, starting three of them.
Tennessee acknowledges several violations
Tennessee self-reported 10 NCAA secondary violations, including three in men's basketball.
The university's compliance department posted the violations and subsequent punishments on its website Wednesday.
One of the men's basketball violations involved holding open individual skill instruction before a football game.
During that session, recruits making official visits were allowed to attempt shots while coaches were present. The others were inconsistencies in the camp registration process and prohibited grocery shopping services for student-athletes.

A hussy is a derogatory term for a woman which usually means a woman who is "easy". Sometimes the phrase "brazened hussy" is used, suggesting a woman who is not only easy, but also advertises the fact. However this not used very often these days.
Strangely, the original meaning referred to a red-haired housewife - the word 'hussy' was originally 'hussuff' (I'm not sure about the spelling).
a s.l.u.t.
a s l u t
a very dirty lady ;) aye aye !
huge p*ssy hussy
1: A woman considered brazen or immoral.
2: A saucy or impudent girl.
Singer and Guitarist with the Mission.
My grandmother used that term often to decribe sexually permissive women, women that flirted too much, or did not keep private about the subject.
She also used that term to decribe women that flirted or approached married men.
When the pipe marks on a crack ho's face get infected and fill with pus they call call them a "hussy."
i would say a girl that never sticks to one man lettin men touch their bits in public places.
basicly a flirt i spose. so many ppl have different opinoins..
What i'm looking for!
An impudent or immoral girl or woman.
a s.l.u.t.
A lady that is nasty... She likes it and is not shy about letting men know. Kinda like a ****..
A woman that has affairs with another woman's husband.
A little hussy. A word of slight contempt, though in some counties it seems to mean simply girl, as "Come hither, hussy." Of course, the word is a corruption of housewife or hussif. In Swedish hustru means woman in general. It is rather remarkable that mother in Norfolk has given rise to a similar sort of word, morther, as "Come hither, morther" —i.e. girl. Neither hussy nor morther is applied to married women. In Norfolk they also say mor for a female, and bor for the other sex. Moer is Dutch for woman in general, and boer for peasant, whence our boor.

Midwest Industries and the FN Scar17S
my wife took my savage model10 fcpsr and niteforce scope then said get what you want to replace it, this one is mine. she is currently looking for a company to digicam the stiock purple *sigh*
anyway i was looking for a colt le901 and missed it by a few minutes on clicking submit order with westfork armory, thanks for being awesome with the customer service followup, michael!! westfork 3 thumbs up for the effort!! then i started looking at a semi auto belt fed rpd and this afternoon went shopping ended up at midwest industries and they had a scar17s sitting above a scar16s on the wall.
while i cant see any real reason for a 556/223 version of the scar when a regular ar15 does the same job. the 308 version is a different story and is in the relative ballpark of other high end 308 semi autos. after a bit of handling and talking with troy the owner of midwest industries i ended up hemming and hawing and trying to decide.
the talk turned to suppressors and between the ultra light weight and the super nifty suppressor friendly switch on the gas block i was sold. so im the new owner of a scar17s.
troy at some point trots out a brand new MI rail extension for the scar17s and asks if i want one. they had just put it on a scar17s to send off for advertising pics. this rail isnt announced as of yet. im the first non-mi person to touch one or lay eyes on it. this replaces the bottom rail section block and extends the rail section out past the gas block allows full acces to the block for cleaning and operation of the gas selector. like all other MI products its solid as a freein rock and continues the T marks all the way out past the block and the rail sections line up with the scar top rail.
so i said hell yeah. i get the very first one off the production line in december. unfortunately i dont have pics but i will first week of december!!
here is the gas selector
bolt carrier and spring which is a captive spring
here is a view of the trigger pack internals
this rifle unlike the scar16 is well balanced and the controls seem right to my hands. one change will be adding a surefire muzzle device so i can run it suppressed.
i like it better than the scar16s. it seems kinda on the same slight orders of improvements as the springfield xd to the xdm.
Very nice. Congrats.
Nice rifle Jon. Congrats.
now the one thing i was a little hesitant about was the magazine availability which is damn near none atm. as i was thinking about it im replacing a rifle that i only have...one... mag for anyway. so troy has em on massive order and i get 6 when they show up.
RANGE REPORT! Please :D
I'm anxious to see what kind of groups you can wring out of it. I've shot the Scar 16 and impressed. I've heard the gas system really tames the 7.62 nato. More videos plzzzz!
What kinda optic you gonna put on her?
taking it out friday unless something stupid happens at work. you can BET there will be a video if the wife cooperates as a camera woman better heh. im going to mount up my nightforce benchrest scope for accuracy testing. ultimate optic... i dont know yet. im thinking either acog or nightforce. im leaning nightforce heavily. prolly another 3.5-15x nxs f1 since the wife has mine. but nothing is set in stone. the iron sights seem decent but i might swap in some better irons if these dont perform.
the wife has been mking hints that my acog is prolly hers and i just dont know it yet *sigh*
the trigger is pretty stiff but its a battle rifle not a sniper rifle.
im going to be using 168grain smk this weekend
Psst I herd Geissele makes a nice trigger...... :rolleyes:
There is a company that is coming out with a replacement lower receiver for your Scar. I forgot the name of the company, but the receiver is supposed to allow you to run SR25 mags and PMAGs.
now if only they'd release a monolithic upper or at least a modular upper, so we can start planning and building scars.
Tha'd be soo sweet.:D

1 Jesuit & Catholic A FOUNDATION FOR THE FIRST—AND NEXT—125 YEARS
he letter dated October 1, 1881,
St. Aloysius Church, though owned by the Diocese of Spokane, has always been at the heart of Gonzaga's campus.
was addressed to Father Joseph M. Cataldo, SJ,
superior of the Jesuits' sprawling Rocky Mountain Mission, and signed by twelve leading citizens of the young frontier city of Spokane Falls. It began with congratulations to Father Cataldo on his recent acquisition of a half section of railroad land along the Spokane River, a mile upstream from the big falls. The letter's writers then quickly got to the point: Would Father Cataldo consider building a college or university on his 320-acre tract? "We are satisfied that such an institution established at this place would receive a large patronage not only from [the Northwest], but also from California and even the Eastern states," they wrote. "You have the ability to build up here a great university. . . . Be assured that we will aid you in this matter to the full extent of our ability." Father Cataldo, who had spent nearly twenty years as a Jesuit missionary on the Northwest frontier, was widely known for his intelligence, shrewd judgment, and toughness of character. The forty-four-year-old priest was hardly one to be swayed by the puffery of boomtown promoters. But these local boosters were stating what Father Cataldo believed to be true. In fact, Father Cataldo had quietly bought
that big parcel along the north bank of the river—paying the Northern Pacific Railway 936 hard silver dollars for it— because he believed the young city was ideally positioned to grow into the metropolitan center of the Inland Northwest. It was Father Cataldo's intent to build on that site a college he would call Gonzaga, a place envisioned as the centerpiece of educational and spiritual enlightenment for the Jesuit order's Rocky Mountain Mission. Father Cataldo wrote in reply to the city leaders that, indeed, he welcomed their support and would do all he could to push forward with the endeavor. Many obstacles remained before that grand vision could become reality. Joseph M. Cataldo was born in Sicily in 1837. He entered 3

Senior Class of 1909 at Gonzaga College
Right, once the giant granite blocks for the foundation were in place, the brick laying began on the Administration Building. News that a photograph was going to be taken of the partially completed building's main entrance resulted in a swarm of students and onlookers to pose for this photograph taken in 1898.

were attending the bustling Saint Aloysius School a couple of blocks north on Mission Avenue. "I was at Saint Al's from 1959 to 1967, and there were always at least two classes for each grade," said Kathleen O'Connor, Ray and Helen Allen's oldest daughter, who became assistant dean for library services at Gonzaga. "I honestly don't think I knew anyone who wasn't Catholic until I was in high school." Paul Huetter grew up on Sharp Avenue, just down the street from the brick mansion originally owned by his grandfather, John Huetter, the early day contractor whose many local projects included Gonzaga's historic College Hall. "My dad grew up in this house," he said, sitting in the front parlor of the Huetter Mansion, now home to the university's Alumni Association. "They had a pool table in the back room, and it was a favorite hangout for Bing Crosby and the other kids in the neighborhood." Huetter's late father, also named Paul, was a professor in the Gonzaga School of Engineering. He lived in just three homes during his life—all of them along Sharp Avenue in the heart of the Gonzaga neighborhood. "It was such an idyllic neighborhood nobody wanted to leave," he said. "You had quite a cross section—different tradesmen and the men who worked at McGoldrick's sawmill living alongside doctors and judges and college professors. There were Germans and Italians and lots of Irish families. The common denominator was that we all went to the same church." In many respects, the university was less a focal point for families in the neighborhood than either Saint Aloysius Church or Saint Aloysius School. But neighborhood kids were welcome at Gonzaga, he said. "We had a key to the old gym, and we would go in there, turn on the lights, and play basketball," Huetter said. "We played baseball on the two diamonds
Neighborhood boys include Bing Crosby, front center.
The GU Neighborhood
Gonzaga and its neighborhood have always been intertwined.
oon after he became Gonzaga's fourth president, Father Leopold Van Gorp, SJ, unexpectedly found himself caught up in a whirlwind of real estate development. The young city of Spokane was booming, and the half section of land Father Cataldo had bought—dismissed at first as that "old piece of gravel near the falls"—suddenly was ripe for building. But Father Van Gorp was faced with a problem. The legal status of the 320 acres Father Cataldo had acquired for the college was still up in the air. The issue boiled down to this: how much of the land actually belonged to Gonzaga, and how much belonged to the Rocky Mountain Mission? The half section—which extended north from the river to present-day Mission Avenue, and from what is now Division Street east to the river's bend near today's Avista Corporation headquarters— had been purchased with general funds of the Society of Jesus. The college and the mission, related but financially and legally independent from one another, each claimed ownership. Father Van Gorp, as president of the college and superior of the mission, was in a unique position to settle the matter. What he decided was to grant eight acres to Gonzaga and retain the rest for the mission. To hold ownership, however, he incorporated the Pioneer Educational Society and deeded the mission's
property to the new nonprofit entity. Soon, the Pioneer Educational Society was platting and subdividing pieces of its holdings and hiring architects and contractors to begin building the city's first major residential district north of the Spokane River.
The Gonzaga neighborhood was known far and
Church, Holy Names Academy, Saint Aloysius School, Saint Joseph Orphanage, and the Saint Joseph care center for the elderly and infirm. Like many Gonzaga graduates, Ray Allen, who earned a degree in electrical engineering in 1950, settled in the neighborhood. He and his wife, Helen, raised seven children in a handsome Tudor-style brick house on Augusta Avenue, a short walk north of campus. Homes were large and well-kept, the tree-lined streets were wide, and nearly everyone in the neighborhood belonged to Saint Aloysius Parish. "All of the neighbors were Catholic, and just about everyone had a big family," Allen said. "On our block, there were seventeen children, and all of them went to grade school at Saint Al's." Perhaps nothing reflects the strong Catholic character of the neighborhood better than the fate of Webster School, the public elementary school on Sharp Avenue that finally shut down in 1940 because virtually all of the children in the neighborhood
wide as the "Holy Land." Father Van Gorp's purpose was twofold. By selling building lots and selling or renting homes newly built on the Pioneer Educational Society's property, he could generate money both for the operation of the college and for the support of the training of Jesuit scholastics. But as important, Father Van Gorp determined that by selling or renting to Spokane's Catholic families, he could create a Catholic community with Gonzaga at its very heart. He succeeded so well that, for decades, the Gonzaga neighborhood was synonymous in Spokane with Catholicism and was known far and wide as the "Holy Land" of the Pacific Northwest. Indeed, no other neighborhood in the region was home to such a concentration of Catholic families and major Catholic institutions: Gonzaga University, Saint Aloysius 54

If the first month of the season in any indication of what is to come at the Section 1 tournament, then Las Vegas would probably have Coach Tom Rizzotti's Indians as favorites to take home the Class A crown.
After winning the Minisink tournament earlier this year, John Jay was at it again this past weekend — grabbing the top seed at the 15-team Millbrook tournament on Saturday before eventually taking home the gold.
The Indians posted a perfect 8-0 record in pool play, amassing a +89 point differential to secure the No. 1 seed just ahead of Cornwall, who accumulated a +81 PD. John Jay then disposed of St. John in the semifinals, 25-22, before sweeping Cornwall in the championship match, 26-24, 25-20. The Indians, who are now 20-1 in tournament play this season, trailed 19-11 in the opening game of the championship before surging a comeback for the win.
Pool A consisted of Arlington, FDR-Hyde Park, Middletown and Millbrook, Waterford. Pool B consisted of Saugerties, Cornwall, Voorheeseville, Red Hook and Beacon. Pool C was rounded out with St. John, Burke, Wallkill, John Jay and Guilderland.
Enormous thanks to Chad Flayhan for keeping me posted throughout the day while I was at Yorktown. I'll try and get the Scarsdale tournaments results and post them as soon as possible.
There was no all-tournament team announced, according to Rizzotti.

In biology, an offspring was the product of reproduction from one or more parents. Offspring were an integral component to building a family.
Humanoids often referred to their offspring as a child (plural: children). While the term generally applied to adolescents, the term could also be applied to adult members of a species, alternatively known as a son (male offspring) or a daughter (female offspring). James T. Kirk once described children as "Little ones like yourselves. They grow." (TOS: "The Apple")
Richard Daystrom compared the M-5 multitronic unit he had designed to a child, developmentally. Dr. Leonard McCoy didn't care for the comparison but used it all the same when analyzing the scientist's mindset. (TOS: "The Ultimate Computer")
Captain Picard claimed that children were too young to understand the dangers of reality, and so adults were needed to protect them from harm and corrupting influences. (TNG: "Imaginary Friend")
Data created an android child patterned after himself, a daughter named Lal. (TNG: "The Offspring")
Occasionally, beings posed as a child to gain insight into Humanity's existence, strengths, and weaknesses. (TNG: "The Child", "Imaginary Friend") The children of Drayan II were individuals nearing the end of their lives, rather than beginning them. (VOY: "Innocence")
Some species did not rely on offspring as a means of continuing the species. For example, the J'naii and the Changelings were two species that reproduced in other ways. (TNG: "The Outcast"; DS9: "The Search, Part II") Prior to the intervention of the USS Enterprise on Gamma Trianguli VI, the planet's inhabitants had no need for what they described as "replacements", as they were forbidden by Vaal. (TOS: "The Apple")
Betazoid Ambassador Lwaxana Troi was the daughter of the Fifth House of Betazed. (DS9: "The Forsaken")
Commander Sisko compared the "behavior" of the station's computer with that of a child after the computer started to function differently. (DS9: "The Forsaken")
While under the influence of the Saltah'na energy sphere, Jadzia Dax compared her relationship with Benjamin Sisko as being a son or nephew to her. (DS9: "Dramatis Personae")
In 2373, multiple children were seen in a mind meld which Tuvok and Kathryn Janeway participated in. One of the children, a young girl who was desperately clinging onto each of the other children's hands on the edge of a precipice, was actually a manifestation of a memory virus. The children who were holding onto her hand were Tuvok, Janeway, Dimitri Valtane, and multiple illusory children. (VOY: "Flashback")

Section in the Spotlight: ESN Zagreb
The weather is getting warmer, the sun is shining and another academic year is coming to its end. You know you shouldn't have even opened this article because you are in the process of preparing for your exams, but you simply can't stop yourself from reading all these interesting facts about our Section in the Spotlight for June: ESN Zagreb.
ESN Zagreb, the first Croatian section, was founded in 2010 as Zagreb Exchange Committee by 10 adventurous students taking care of around 100 exchange students. Today, the section has 80 members taking care of more than 800 exchange students each semester, as well as 203 local students acting as buddies.
The section is divided into a Local Board, consisting of President, Vice-President and Treasurer, and 7 teams - ESNcard, InterCultural Exchange or ICE, Party, PR, SocialErasmus, Sports and Travel - where all the active members are. Additionally, they have a Project Manager and coordinators for Buddy, Mov'in Europe and ExchangeAbility, who work on their own. With such a broad structure, they make sure to cover all the work fields that contribute to the pleasure of their exchange students, as well as the growth and improvement of their section.
Speaking of section growth, ESN Zagreb recruits new members once a year, in September, by organising informative presentations, after which they choose new members based on their motivation letter and an interview they conduct with all candidates before making a final decision. New members receive ESN 4 Newbies documents, created especially for them and their understanding of the network, and they are welcomed to participate in various workshops, such as Mov'in Europe for Beginners or how to use Photoshop and Illustrator.
Alumni members play a big role in the section - they may not be actively involved in the organisation anymore, but they are always at the section's disposal when it comes to sharing knowledge or educating members. They also organise two big teambuilding activities per year - they have a sleepover in a hiking cabin, where they do various activities to create a better connection between their members.
"In our section, each person has a chance to find a place for themselves, to find out what their interests are and to really give all of themselves in order to organise an event, workshop, trip, to design a booklet or to be the best buddy there ever was."
ESN Zagreb is also very active when it comes to the implementation of international projects of ESN. There is an entire team around the idea of SocialErasmus and they organise activities such as dog shelter visits, helping out in the soup kitchen, workshops in schools, kindergartens and retirement homes. Their ExchangeAbility coordinator has successfully organised several informative presentations on Erasmus+ opportunities for students with disabilities, as well as started some online campaigns in collaboration with the PR team.
When it comes to Mov'in Europe, they organise informative presentations and workshops for local students regarding Erasmus+ opportunities. They've also held CV and motivation letter writing workshops, and this year they have successfully organised "Employ Your Skills", an ESAA-funded event on youth projects and entrepreneurship.
"The speakers were enthusiastic to see a motivated crowd eager to learn about entrepreneurship and youth projects, even if it meant waking up early on a Friday and Saturday morning."
They also have two of their members on the national level - National Event Coordinator and National ExchangeAbility Coordinator - and several of their members are involved in the organisation of ESN Croatia's national event, Croatian Erasmus Event or CEE. Their members are also active in Committees - ICE, NEC and ComCom - while some local Alumni are still involved in the work of the international level. They have successfully organised several international events, such as CNR back in 2012, SEEP in 2013, SECM in 2015 and NBM in 2016. This winter they are also going to organise their second National Platform.
"We think that it is very important to forward the information about all the different opportunities that the network offers, and to explain right from the very beginning what each person can gain through the work on different positions."
They also take great pride in their cooperation with their buddy section, ESN Split, as well as ESN Lisboa, with whom they received an Erasmus+ grant back in 2014 for their project Twinning Up 4 Start Up.
With such a strong structure and motivated members, it seems there's nothing ESN Zagreb can't do. We expect great things from them in the upcoming year, as well as many more years to come.

International Board '17-18 Elected at AGM Germany
On 23rd April, ESN elected a new International Board to lead the network for the year 2017-2018.
The Board of 2017-2018 is (from L-R): President - João Pinto (ESN PT), Vice-President - Tijana Stojanović (ESN RS), Treasurer - Tim Bastiaens (ESN BE), Communication Manager - Kacper Olczyk (ESN PL), Web Project Administrator - Jeroen van Lent (ESN SE).
The new International Board will take office on 15th July 2017.
The elections took place at AGM Germany 2017 in Berlin, with 900 representatives from 40 ESN member countries across Europe. At the event, several STARawards were also handed out, including an award for Best ESN Country, given to ESN Croatia this year. The title of Best ESN Section went to ESN UEK Cracow; the first time a section has won the award twice.
More awards at esn.org/starawards
In keeping with a tradition established in 2016, the annual Honorary Achievement Award was presented, this year to former President of ESN, Davide Capecchi. Davide received acknowledgment due to notable contributions to the development of ESN and his heavy involvement in a network-wide organisational review that has lasted almost a year.
The gathering also represented a celebration of the 30th anniversary of Erasmus+. In support of the success of the Erasmus programme in uniting people from diverse backgrounds, a message was sent loud and clear by the 900 students marching through the streets of Berlin: #WeAreOne. The march ended with Safi Sabuni, President of ESN, and Mr Richard Kühnel, Representative of the European Commission in Germany.

Section in the Spotlight: ESN AGH
What do the following have in common?
- A 10th birthday
- One of the most beautiful cities in Poland
- A unicorn
If you're still unsure, let us help you with this. It's time to give a round of applause to this month's fabulous Section in the Spotlight, Kraków's very own ESN AGH!
With humble beginnings raging back to the ancient smartphone-free times of 2007, ESN Akademia Górniczo-Hutnicza (if you're not Polish, don't even try to pronounce this) started off as part of the University Student Council, but as the number of incoming Erasmus students grew, something had to be done. Dramatic changes came in 2010, when the HR coordinator organised an enormous recruitment, increasing the number of members threefold, at the same time creating the basis of what would eventually become one of the most well-known ESN sections on the international level.
ESN AGH's board is run by 3 people, who oversee and lead the work of coordinators and 6 different committees to create the perfect experience for incoming exchange students. Did you know that ESN AGH has an active member from Spain? Talking about a proper international environment! After new members are chosen, they all participate in a special integration camp, where proper knowledge transfer and training sessions take place. Did we mention that it's also a great place to make fantastic friends?
ESN AGH makes sure to keep older members busy and motivated too. Apart from organising a series of meetings – called "Saturday with ESN" – with the help of other sections in Kraków, the section also organises several barbeques throughout the year to get the positive vibes going, and plans to organise a Sailing Trip for ESNers after a long year of hard work. Nice job, ESN AGH!
When it comes to keeping Erasmus students entertained, these guys really do not mess around! From museum trips and international sporting events to cooking workshops, ESN AGH has something to suit everyone's taste. In true ESN spirit, they often involve local communities in their activities too. The most popular are "Mobility Day", an infomarket designed to promote mobility projects and the Erasmus+ programme, and the Mentor Programme, which last semester attracted over 300 mentors from all the different faculties in the university!
ESN AGH is proud to have two flagship projects, directed at the local student body and foreign students respectively. The first project is called HRproject, composed of a series of workshops organised by representatives of big local companies.
"The representatives lead trainings to show us how easily we can get a job and achieve a success during an interview."
The second flagship project is an ideal combination of Mov'in Europe and ExchangeAbility, a project aptly called "ABLE TO MOVie".
"It is about creating a series of movies showing the lives of students with disabilities at our university. We want to show them the facilities and encourage them to come here."
So we've pretty much covered two of the three main features that make ESN AGH what it is today… but what about that mystical unicorn? Apart from being the national animal of Scotland (not kidding!), it has been the famous mascot of ESN AGH since 2011.
So there we go! Unicorns, a fantastic atmosphere among members and Erasmus students alike, and over 10 years of improving, learning, and having some good old fun along the way. Let's raise our glasses to another 10, or even longer!

Valentin Dupouey for CoE Advisory Council
ESN is nominating Valentin Dupouey from ESN Nancy for a second year as member of the Advisory Council on Youth of the Council of Europe. The following is an open letter from our candidate.
Dear Member Organisations of the European Youth Forum,
Dear Friends,
I'm very excited to be supported by the Erasmus Student Network (ESN) for the upcoming elections. I truly hope you will give me your trust for a second mandate as a member of the Advisory Council on Youth (AC) of the Council of Europe.
Being a member of the AC is a positively challenging experience thanks to the diversity of topics addressed by the AC, but also due to the structures of the Council of Europe and of the co-management system within the youth sector. Being part of this unique structure that allows meaningful participation of young people is a constant learning experience that requires dedication, a broad understanding of youth issues in Europe and the ability to work and cooperate with a wide diversity of stakeholders.
The experience I've lived during this first year as member of the AC provides the basis for what I want to help achieve during a second mandate. Steadily, with a small team of AC members, we have been actively working to make the work of the AC more accessible, better understood and more visible through renewed communication practices. This work should be carried on in order for the great work of the AC to be recognised outside our usual circles. This goal goes beyond a simple communication issue. Ensuring clarity and visibility is also a way to increase the impact of our work. A stronger understanding and knowledge of the results of our work and how it can be used by young people, their organisations, by local and regional authorities, and by governments will strengthen our position as an impactful actor in the youth field.
Internally, I want to actively take part in the knowledge transfer and training of the newly elected AC members. As new members, the input and knowledge we received from more experienced members were invaluable to help us navigate in the sometimes unsettling waters of the Council of Europe's structure. I believe the transition process can still be improved to ensure the full and effective participation of new members from the very start of their mandate.
Content-wise, I want to keep focusing on youth participation. This question of active youth participation has been at the heart of all my voluntary and professional engagements for the last 8 years in the NGO sector. I am committed to keep working for a renewed cooperation between the Advisory Council and the Congress of Local and Regional Authorities which, I am convinced, can lay the foundations for stronger youth participation at the local level. Besides, I believe that the current issue of shrinking civic space, which has been integrated in the Council of Europe Youth Sector's priorities for the upcoming two years, is a fundamental threat to democracy affecting young people in particular. I am committed to support the actions the AC will lead under this orientation of the youth sector's programme.
Finally, I would like to put both ESN's experience with the European Youth Foundation (EYF) and my own project management experience at the service of the Programming Committee (PC). The EYF and the PC have been constantly improving the way the EYF is cooperating with its beneficiaries. This work needs continuous adjustments to the reality of the work and projects of youth NGOs. I believe my experience as project manager can be a strong added-value to the work of the PC.
My long-term engagement within the Erasmus Student Network, within the European Youth Forum (YFJ) as an active volunteer of the platform, and currently within the Young European Federalists, from whom I have also received the informal support, will undoubtedly help me represent the diversity of views and interests of YFJ's Member Organisations within the Advisory Council.
I'll be happy to exchange with you during COMEM about my experience in and aspirations for the AC, but feel free to already contact me at firstname.lastname@example.com!

Jaguars OC: Toby Gerhart will be team's 'workhorse'
Jacksonville Jaguars offensive coordinator Jedd Fisch made his plans for the offense clear, saying running back Toby Gerhart will be the team's workhorse this upcoming season.
Gerhart, 27, signed a three-year, $10.5 million contract in March after four seasons with the Minnesota Vikings, primarily backing up Adrian Peterson.
"Toby will be our workhorse," Fisch said, via the Florida Times-Union. "Toby has the ability to do it all. He can catch it well. He can pass protect well, and he's going to be in the game a lot — third down, base downs, short-yardage, passing downs."

Gerhart has never carried the ball more than 109 times in any of his four campaigns in the NFL and has just 276 carries for 1,305 yards, five touchdowns and six starts in his career.

UW-Eau Claire ranks high in number who study abroad
UW-Eau Claire ranks 14th nationally among all master's-level schools in the number of students who study abroad, according to the 2007 Open Doors Report of the Institute for International Education.
The 2007 Open Doors Report indicates that 484 UW-Eau Claire students studied abroad during the 2005-06 academic year, up from the previous year when 440 students participated in a study abroad program.
UW-Eau Claire's long-standing commitment to placing students in countries for months rather than weeks also sets it apart, according to the Open Doors Report. The report's "duration of study abroad" survey ranks UW-Eau Claire seventh nationally. Full story.
Football team advances to second
round in NCAA Division III playoffs
The Blugold football team will advance to the second round of the NCAA Division III playoffs following a 24-20 first-round win over St. Norbert Nov. 17 in Green Bay. With the win the Blugolds improved to 9-2, their best record since a 10-3 season in 1998. That year was the lone other appearance UW-Eau Claire has had in the national playoffs. Next the team will face Bethel University at noon Saturday, Nov. 24, in St. Paul. Full story and ticket info.
Football coach Todd Glaser is WIAC Coach of the Year
UW-Eau Claire head football coach Todd Glaser has been named the Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference's George Chryst Coach of the Year. Glaser, a UW-Eau Claire alumnus who played defensive line for the Blugolds from 1987-90, is in his second year as UW-Eau Claire's head coach and led the team to a second-place finish in the WIAC this season with an 8-2 record. He is only the second coach in program history to lead his team to an NCAA Division III postseason appearance (the first was Bob Nielson in 1998) and the second to be named WIAC coach of the year (Link Walker received the honor in 1981 and 1983). Full story.
Alumni check in with updates

Have HVAC Questions? Ask an HVAC Expert for Answers
All work to be done by licensed professional. WE KEEP GOING UNTIL YOU HAVE THE INFORMATION YOU NEED, I come and go. This is step ONE.
Hello, Welcome to Just Answer
So far it sounds like the compressor suction valves are going bad,
You can do this test, close the liquid line service valve at the reciever, and hold the systems pressure switch closed or force the compressor contactor in manually so the compressor will keep running, Then tell me how low the suction pressure goes,
If the compressor is good, it will pull into a vacuum
If not, then the valves are bad,
We can go from there with coaching on how to fix it after you get that test done,
Hello and welcome to just answer, I am servtech50 and will try to assist you today.
My first question to you is, was the evaporator and compressor sized properly for the load or area of the box? If this walk-in has been working properly for a long time then that is not an issue. (I am not sure if you are building a walk-in or repairing it). If this was a working system then I would check the TXV. 25psi suction pressure is equal to 21 to 22 deg. in relationship to a PT chart. (pressure = temp.) and if your suction line temp. is 42 deg. at the sensing bulb of the TXV then you have 21 to 20 deg. superheat. which means the evap. is starving. You should have a 10 to 12 deg superheat at sensing bulb. Sub-cool should be anywhere from 18 to 30 deg. depending on your ambient, if you have condenser fan control or a head pressure control (head master) for cold weather operation. So if you are building a cooler first make sure your evap and compressor are sized properly for the load. (for medium temp and your load your compressor and evap. should be sized for a 25deg evap temp.) Make sure you are using a TXV for 134a and feeds at the proper rate to achieve a 25deg. evap temp. and a 10 to 12 deg. superheat. other words if you are using a 1/2 horse compressor (6000 btu) then your TXV must be a 1/2 ton expansion valve not a 1/4 ton or a 3/4 ton expansion valve (one would starve the evap and the other would flood the evap. in either case you would not be able to adjust properly). Do not worry about the sub-cool at this point. your 11 deg. sub cool temp. is due to your condenser coil being flooded due to the starving of the evap. And after reading all of this you could also be just low on refrigerant. Does your system have a receiver and a sight glass? There should not be any bubbles in sight glass with 134a. But according to your head pressure of 120 psi the system should be full, unless you do have a headmaster control then it could be holding back the refrigerant.

MARANELLO -- Italy's red racing giant Ferrari wants to go green, cutting emissions without sacrificing horsepower and working on a new hybrid model set to thrill pro-environment speed junkies.
"We're working on reducing energy consumption without forgetting that the symbol of Ferrari is performance," Matteo Lanzavecchia, head of development, said at the luxury car-maker's historic factory in Maranello, a small town in the Emilia Romagna region.
"We've also managed to up horsepower to 100 while still reducing CO2 emissions by 30%," he said.
The sleek "California 30", one of the brand's most sought-after models with a price tag of 180,000 euros (US$239,000), has been vamped up with the new technology -- extra horsepower but weighing 30 kilograms (66 pounds) less than the previous version.
"We're going all out, not just using the lightest materials but making adjustments across the board. We have improved the brake system to reduce friction and the fan to reduce energy consumption," Lanzavecchia said.
And the green drive does not stop there: among the towering steel machines on the Maranello factory floor trees have been planted to control the air's humidity levels.
The most recent buildings have also been built with vast glass bays to allow more light in and slash electricity consumption.
The hybrid car -- set to hit salesrooms in the next few months -- aims to lure customers not only with its green credentials but also the promise of an off-piste taste of a Formula One experience.
It will have the Kinetic energy recovery system (KERS) used in the famous racer -- which recovers energy during braking and stores it for future use -- "to reduce consumption but also capture the thrill of driving a Ferrari," Lanzavecchia said.

Your hometown newspaper you are holding right now does not print pictures just because it has the pictures.
We try to balance the need to tell a story with reader sensibilities.
We are not perfect.
When we step over the line, readers let us know.
We get more complaints about sexy pictures than we get about violent pictures.
A few years ago, we published a picture on the front page of a traffic crash on Interstate 77 near the Kimbolton exit. Our policy is to not show victims dead bodies. That crash was in the winter and in the background of the picture was a white mound the photographer assumed was a pile of snow on the berm. As it turned out, that white mound was a tarp covering the body of a victim.
By publishing that picture, we hurt a family.
We also learned a lesson, and today we try to pay closer attention to every element in a picture, whether or not it is muted in the background.
The issue of accurately illustrating events without offending readers was felt in newsrooms across the country including this newsroom last week.
Gruesome pictures of the charred, mutilated bodies of Americans killed in an ambush in Iraq filled U.S. airwaves and were played prominently on Page 1 of many newspapers.
This newspaper decided to run a picture of an Iraqi boy cheering in front of the burning vehicle in Fallujah, though we did have more grisly images. We believed the picture of the boy jubilant over the deaths of Americans adequately told the story of the extent of the hatred in the hearts of people who have no respect for the sanctity of the dead.
The images out of Fallujah last week brought back memories of Mogadishu, Somalia, a decade ago. Pictures of a dead American serviceman being dragged through the street aired constantly on U.S. television and were published in newspapers across the country. Those images ultimately led to the evacuation of U.S. forces from Somalia.
A network news executive said last week, This is a tough one. There is a question of respect for the families and loved ones of those who were killed. There is also a question of taste. But that also raises the question of whether, or how, images should be sanitized. War is a horrible thing. It is about killing.
We cant always project readers reactions to pictures we publish. And if we worry about it too much, we risk going against the principle of reporting what is really happening, as sickening and barbaric as it may be.
Well continue to try our best to use good judgment, fully expecting that evil will tarnish the images ahead.

Subject: New Entries in Lexicons of Early Modern English
[Editor's Note: I have been a user of LEME when it was EMDD and have subscribed to it ever since it became LEME. I find it an invaluable tool for annotating. HMC]
Lexicons of Early Modern English (LEME) - http://leme.library.utoronto.ca/
Locating historical references and accessing manuscripts can be difficult with countless hours spent searching for a single text for the sparsest of contributions to your research.
Lexicons of Early Modern English is a growing historical database offering scholars unprecedented access to early books and manuscripts documenting the growth and development of the English language. With more than 580,000 word-entries from 176 monolingual, bilingual, and polyglot dictionaries, lexical encyclopedias, hard-word glossaries, spelling lists, and lexically-valuable treatises surviving in print or manuscript from the Tudor, Stuart, Caroline, Commonwealth, and Restoration periods, LEME sets the standard for modern linguistic research on the English language.

Have a Tax Question? Ask a Tax Expert
If your mother is on SSI (Supplemental Security Income) it is not taxable. If she is on Social Security Disability, then some of the income may be taxable IF she has additional income. If she has no taxable income, then she will meet the income portion of the rules to be your dependent. The next step is to determine the cost of her support. If say it costs $30,000 per year for housing, food, medical, clothing, transportation, etc., and you pay more than half of this amount, then she will be your dependent, and you may claim Head of Household status. I suspect that if you provide this information to FSB, it will clear this up.
Please let me know if I can help you further.
Thank You,
I have one more questions related to Head of Household qualification. If my mom does not live with me but lives in the government subsidized apartment, can I still claim myself as a head of household?

Baccala Salad is my Cousin Leonora's favorite Christmas Eve dish. In fact, she called prior to Christmas to confirm Baccala Salad would be on the menu. Silly girl, when did I ever not include it? "I know Kath, but it's so darn expensive. Want me to buy it this year?" She's so sweet. This salad is prepared with mild, simple vinaigrette rather than a heavily seasoned dressing in order to enhance and incorporate the fish and vegetable flavors.
Baccala Salad
2 lbs. Salted Cod Fish
1 head Cauliflower
2 or 3 Carrots
3 or 4 Stalks of Celery
1 can medium black or green olives, pitted
Extra Virgin Olive oil
Red Wine Vinegar - one that is dark in color, I used Pompeian Gourmet this year
Garlic powder
Italian seasoning
Salt & pepper to taste
The cod has to be soaked in water for at least two days in advance to remove the salt. I usually soak it in the refrigerator for three days. Two pounds of cod is typically two big filets. I cut them in half for workability purposes. Place the filets in a non-plastic bowl and cover completely with cold water. During the soaking process, the water will need to be changed at least twice a day. Simply dump the water rinse the bowl/fish briefly and refill. It is best to serve Baccala Salad chilled. I like to prepare this the night before to allow the vinaigrette flavors to incorporate in addition to chilling. The salad will last about seven days in the fridge.
To cook the baccala, set to boil enough water to fully cover the fish by two inches. When the water just begins to boil, add the fish. Bring water to a full boil, lower the heat a bit, and boil for about five minutes. The cod fish is done when it turns white begins to flake, and any thin skin that may be present has dissolved. Don't leave the stove; you don't want the fish overcooked. Immediately drain all of the water. Remove to a bowl and allow cooling.
Meanwhile, clean the vegetables, slice the fresh carrots and celery, and core the cauliflower. Steam the veggies to remove the hardness. Do not cook through. I like to steam the veggies on the stove and keep the remaining vegetable stock for future use. Combine the vegetables in a large bowl. By this time, the fish should be cool enough to handle. Gently flake the fish into the vegetables. The fish pieces will be a bit larger than a carrot slice. Toss lightly.
Sprinkle the mix with garlic powder, toss, and smell. If the fragrance of garlic is not faintly present, add more and repeat. Pour enough olive oil over the mix to coat but not puddle. Toss well. Sprinkle liberally with the wine vinegar and toss. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and one or two pinches of Italian seasoning. Toss again and taste. The flavor should be on the vinegary side with a hint of olive oil and garlic present. The Italian seasoning may go unnoticed at this point however, the salt is important here. If you think the salad needs more salt, add it now. Finally add the olives and toss. Being forced to cut corners wherever I can but without compromising flavor, green Cerignola olives have been replaced with Mission black medium sized olive pieces. Refrigerate for at least six hours. Toss and serve.
For the record, Lenora took home a big container of Baccala Salad. She told me the food this year was the best we ever had!

Glenn Close tied the knot for the third time Friday Feb 3rd with longtime beau David Shaw, People magazine reports
Five-time Oscar nominee actress Glenn Close tied the knot Friday Feb 3rd, 2006 with longtime beau David Shaw. The couple had their wedding held in a small private ceremony at Shaw's beachfront compound in Maine, according to her rep, Catherine Olim.
Close has been married twice before, that's for everybody to know. First she married to Cabot Wade from 1969 to 1971, and then to James Marlas from 1984 to 1987. Both marriages sadly ended in divorce.
As of Shaw, he's the founder and former head of Idexx Laboratories Inc., a publicly traded biotech company in Westbrook with more than $600 million in annual revenues.

You Don't Want This Guy's Special Protein Treatment In Your Hair
When you ride public transportation you're bound to have some unsavory seat mates. It's inevitable. I recall riding the bus once with a man carrying a giant boa constrictor in a tote bag. That was a long ride. I've tried to block it out but I can't. At least three unfortunate women taking the Trimet bus in Portland had the great misfortune of riding with Jared Weston Walter, the man arrested for ejaculating into their hair. A Trimet surveillance camera captured Walter standing behind women, pleasuring himself and releasing his special protein treatment onto their heads. Well, I think that earns him the worst seat mate award. He's also earned some charges: sex abuse, harassment, disorderly conduct, public indecency and interfering with public transportation.
Sadly, this isn't the first time Walter has been arrested for doing weird shit to peoples' hair. In 2009, he was convicted of cutting off the hair of random bus passengers and spreading super glue on their heads. For that he served more than a year in jail and two years of parole, as well as the nickname "Trimet Barber." It's a good reminder to check and see who might be jerking off behind you next time you ride the bus. [Huffington Post]
