Mike Heika's Dallas Stars blog for the Dallas Morning News has quotes from GM Joe Nieuwendyk's press conference after the trade deadline.
"In my mind, I wasn't going to move him unless somebody knocked our socks off with something we couldn't refuse," Nieuwendyk said. "We've said all along that we want to sign Brad, and we still feel that way. We want to sign Brad Richards to be a Dallas Star for a long period of time."
Nieuwendyk said Richards could play as early as Friday in Anaheim as he recovers from a concussion.

Fair Trade Ensures that Traditional Herbal Practices Continue
Fair Trade Month Sponsor: Traditional Medicinals
Fair Trade Month sponsor, Traditional Medicinals, is preserving traditional herbal remedies and improving the lives of tea farmers.
For Traditional Medicinals®, obtaining Fair Trade™ Certified herbs just makes good business sense. Established in 1974, the company has spent decades developing long-term equitable and transparent relationships with their herb suppliers and producers.
According to Josef Brinckmann, VP of Research and Development at Traditional Medicinals, "While the herb trade has historically been veiled in secrecy, participating in an equitable trading system enables us to build long-term, collaborative relationships in which we can grow and plan together. We can be assured that the money that we spend on our herbs is helping to improve good quality of life. We can plan for the future together. And we can predict consistent quality and quantity of herbs. This simply isn't possible when spot-buying herbs on the open market, with no relationship to the producer community, as many companies do."
One of the company's primary Fair Trade Certified producers is Royal Ottoman Farms, spread over 4,000 acres in the Egyptian regions of Fayoum, Menya, New Valley, Oases, Beni sweif, Asuit, Nubaria and Aswan. Founded in 1906, in the upper Egyptian city of Apotik, the Royal Ottoman commitment to Fair Trade principles ensures a sustainable livelihood for a worker and farmer community of over a thousand people. Traditional Medicinals obtains organic, Fair Trade Certified chamomile, spearmint and hibiscus from Royal Ottoman. Due to Royal Ottoman's certification, as well as Traditional Medicinals' other Fair Trade suppliers, the company now has 14 Fair Trade Certified teas, making it one the largest Fair Trade Certified herbal tea companies in the United States.
Says Brinckmann, "Our business model is dependent on tradition—traditional herbal remedies created from plants that are collected or cultivated in the traditional manner. The preservation of these traditions can only continue if the herb trade provides a meaningful and appealing livelihood for people. Fair Trade certification helps this happen."
Traditional Medicinals® is committed to providing affordable traditional herbal medicine for family health and welfare. They embrace sustainability, ingredient purity, social and environmental activism. For more information visit www.traditionalmedicinals.com

I can't imagine there's anything I wouldn't love about the city of Venice. Since I haven't been there yet I remain a vicarious traveler; picturing a sepia-colored city like no other, floating over an ancient network of canals, all those mysterious alleyways winding through a landscape of crumbling palaces.
Twenty-seven summers ago my best friend took off in the direction of Europe, with no real itinerary or return date. I'd planned up until the last minute to go with her, saving all my waitressing cash in a box under my mattress, but drama overrode – it became suddenly necessary that I break up with my then-boyfriend and find a new apartment. How unromantic!
Everything worked out fine in the end, but missing that adventure was my regret. In the middle of her travels, my friend called me from Venice; she was running out of money but still hoping I'd change my mind and meet her there in Italy.
I felt a tiny bit jealous that she was in a place I'd only ever dreamed about seeing, until she described the harrowing time she was having there; getting off the train alone in the middle of the night, finding the Piazza San Marco teeming with rats and also a few human ones intent on stealing her backpack and who knows what else.
It can happen in any city anywhere, but somehow, knowing it was less than paradise at that moment in Venice made it a little easier to accept what I was missing.

Did you know?
The Slave Lodge is the second oldest building in Cape Town, built in 1679.
This Cape Town museum was built in 1679 as the slave lodge of the Dutch East India Company. Today, it is in the process of being transformed into a permanent museum of slavery.
In this way, the Iziko museum's custodians plan to transform the Lodge into a tribute to the up to 9000 slaves, convicts and the mentally ill that are believed to have lived in the building between 1679 and 1811.
An orientation centre on slavery at the Cape is already complete. It documents the Cape's role in the Indian Ocean slave trade route, where slaves were brought to the Cape from Indonesia, India-Ceylon, Madagascar and Mozambique.
Exhibits at the Iziko Slave Lodge include an installation that evokes the cramped conditions of slaves aboard a slave ship.
An alcove features an interactive column of light commemorating the slaves. Each ring in the column is inscribed with the names of slave inmates and turning it is symbolises a process of remembering them. The rings in turn are associated with tree rings and the passing of time.
Finally, a room uses sound, projected images and animation to take visitors into the dark and oppressive conditions of slaves' lives in the Slave Lodge.
As well as having been a Slave Lodge, the building also served as government offices in the nineteenth and early twentieth century's, until its restoration in 1960 for use as a cultural history museum.
It is also one of the biggest and oldest examples of Dutch East India Company slave lodges in the world, making the building an artefact in itself.
Along with its permanent exhibits, the Slave Lodge hosts travelling exhibitions that raise current civil and human rights issues around the world and pay tribute to those 'who have been forgotten, denied and stigmatised'.
Past exhibitions have included 'The Struggle Against Separate Schooling in America', 'African Slaves in Brazil' and a photographic collection highlighting the role of women in the struggle against Apartheid.

>Gears and Wears>Brooks Defyance 6
Does anyone have any first hand experience with the new Brooks Defyance 6?
I am a 50 to 60 mpw runner with a neutral gait. I'm a heel striker and have been running in the Ravenna 3, but don't really like how high they made the platform in this year's model. Also the fit is much sloppier than the Ravenna 2. The Defyance looks like a reasonable alternative with a better fitting upper.
Just wondering what your impressions were please.
I bought a pair of these.
Here are my first impressions (comparing them to the Ravenna 3)
The Defyance 6 is Brooks' attempt to take their most popular shoe, the Adrenaline, and remove the support/control features so as to appeal to those wanting a neutral shoe. The fit of the shoe is improved from the Ravenna, as Brooks has encorporated the 2 elastic straps on each side around the midfoot (a very popular feature in the Ravenna 2's that the 3's lack). As a result, the midfoot is nice and snug. The toe box, however, is nice and roomy, and the heel fits well. Of note, the sizing of the Defyance 6 is a little smaller than the Ravenna 3--I needed to order a 1/2 size larger to get a similar fit.
Out on the road, the Defyance feels plenty firm and responsive. It feels less cushioned and clunky than the Ravenna 3's, which to my mind is a good thing. There remains just a bit of support, but overall it's certainly not overbearing. The weight comes in at about 11 oz in my size. Not the lightest shoe by any means, but it feels plenty fast and stays flexible.
Interestingly, although I am a true heel striker, the Defyance 6 shows a lot less wear on the heel than the Ravenna 3's. That may be due to the shoe allowing me to naturally pronate more. Heel/Toe transition feels very similar to the Ravennas.
So far, the Defyance only comes in one fairly sedate color scheme, so it's not going to grab a lot of attention. I do wonder if it's days are numbered, however, as it seems to fill the same niche as the Ghost. (I really wanted to like the Ghost 5, but the upper feels much more sloppy on my foot than the Defyance, so I ended up sending the Ghost back).
All in all, the Defyance 6 is a nice solid shoe for the neutral distance runner, which I'll use on medium to long runs. They don't make you say "Woo Hoo!" like some more flashy models, but the longer I do this (and the longer I run), I don't need flashy as much as I need reliable and comfortable. These guys fit the bill.
(I also have a pair of the new Ravenna 4's on order as my second shoe, so I'll write a comparison between the 2 at some point).
Please do share your thoughts on the R4. I wear tested them from Sep-Dec. Would love to hear what you think.
I sure will SRL--they are supposed to arrive the middle of next week...
I run almost exclusively in the Defyance, and have since they first came out. I've owned at least one pair of every model, and currently rotate between a pair of 5's and 6's. As my multi-year loyalty attests, this has been a great shoe for me. Supportive enough for long runs and marathons; light enough for speed work. Its also sufficiently flexible that I don't bore holes in the back of the heel (a problem I have with other mid-weight neutrals). In sum, a very good jack-of-all-trades workhorse.
I too feared that the Defyance would disappear when the Ghost came out. That was July 2008, when the Defyance was still in its first model year. Since then we've had the Defyance 2-6 despite the fact that the Ghost seems to overshadow its lesser known cousin. Although the differences between the Ghost and Defyance are small, they matter to some. The Defyance is built on a straight last; the Ghost on a curved. The Ghost has a sprung toe; the Defyance does not. Minor differences, but enough to make me send back a pair of Ghosts that I tried, but purchase 17 pairs of Defyance (and counting).
My hope is the Defyance continues because Brooks doesn't have to spend any incremental money in R&D on it -- the Defyance is a merely copy of the ever-so-popular Adrenaline but without the medial post. As long as they make the Adrenaline, they can make the Defyance just as easily. That's no guarantee, of course, but I keep my fingers crossed.
How To Run a Marathon: Step 1 - start running. There is no Step 2.

Announcement on new contracts
Yale University and Locals 34 and 35 of UNITE HERE announced today (June 27) that they have reached agreement on four-year contracts with the Unions representing Yale's clerical and technical employees and its service and maintenance staff. The agreements succeed current contracts that expire in January 2013.
The new agreements address all aspects of working at Yale and reflect years of productive dialogue, collaboration and problem-solving between University and Union leadership. As with the current three-year agreements, the ongoing working relationship between labor and management at Yale produced new contracts many months in advance.
"These agreements recognize the outstanding contribution to Yale's mission provided by the 4,700 members of Locals 34 and 35 throughout the University," President Richard C. Levin said. "The contracts will allow us to continue to attract and retain the talented and dedicated staff who help make Yale one of the world's greatest universities. We are pleased to extend the cooperative working relationship with our Unions that began nearly a decade ago."
"This contract continues our excellent standard of pay and benefits that has always made a positive impact on the surrounding economy. By working together, we are ensuring that our members and our city move forward," Local 34 President Laurie Kennington said.
In addition to highly competitive salaries and benefit packages, the tentative agreements include several important career development initiatives for clerical and technical staff (Local 34). These include a dedicated career development office; a strengthened internal hiring process, with guaranteed interviews for internal applicants; and new skill development tools. There is also agreement with Local 35 to create new opportunities for training and advancement, including a custodian-in-training program and a painter's apprentice program.
Yale is a critical economic engine for the City of New Haven, the region and the State of Connecticut, and employs many New Haven residents. In joint recognition of the University's status as a steady provider of excellent jobs, Yale and its Unions have agreed to a new commitment to hire New Haven residents, and to formally establish a New Haven Jobs Pipeline program.
Local 34 Vice President Maureen Malone Jones said, "After 32 years at Yale and as a founding member of Local 34, I can say with great pride that our Job Advancement language and the Jobs Pipeline Program are historic."
Tyisha Walker, Local 35 Secretary-Treasurer, continued, "This agreement sends a clear message to the community that our members are committed to sustaining good wages and benefits in a continuous effort to expand access to good jobs for the residents of New Haven."
The agreements would continue the free, comprehensive health care for unionized staff and their families through Yale Health, the University-run, on-campus provider. The Unions and University also collaborated closely on the design of a new external health insurance plan that will provide important cost savings to the University, while improving care and holding costs down for Union members.
Bob Proto, President of Local 35 added, "This is my 10th contract at Yale. Respect for our work has been a core issue for our Union. With this contract, the University has demonstrated its respect for the Union and its willingness to listen and work collaboratively."
The members of Locals 34 and 35 approved the contracts unanimously in meetings today.

Phillies fight back before losing in extras
Rollins' double kicks off two-run, game-tying rally in ninth
SAN FRANCISCO -- If Roy Halladay pitches again this season, he hopes to pitch for more than his just health.
He hopes to pitch for a postseason berth, but for that to happen, the Phillies need to win in his absence. They had a chance Wednesday in a 4-3 loss to the Giants in 10 innings at AT&T Park. The Phillies scored two runs in the ninth to tie the game, but the Giants took care of business in the 10th. It would have been the Phillies' first sweep of a three-game series in San Francisco since May 18-20, 1984.
"We had a chance to put them away," Jimmy Rollins said. "We came back in the ninth and gave ourselves a shot to actually win it. The way we wanted to play it is what matters most. We can stand tall on that and hopefully take that to Arizona and throughout."
The week had to be considered a success. The Indians embarrassed the Phillies in a two-game series last week at Progressive Field, which had Cliff Lee talking about a lack of pride, and Philadelphia split a four-game series against the lowly Marlins over the weekend at Citizens Bank Park, which had the Phillies hearing boos from the hometown crowd. But three well-played games in San Francisco against the defending World Series champions had the Phillies heartened as they boarded an evening flight for Phoenix, where they open a four-game series Thursday against the D-backs.
"I like our fight," manager Charlie Manuel said. "We've got plenty of fight. I don't know what the big deal is. I'm not a guy that thinks we got time and all of that, but we'll be all right. We always have been, haven't we? Really. Believe me. I believe in them. We have a lot of guys who believe in themselves, and that's what counts. Keep watching us."
Maybe people should keep watching. The Phillies are 16-19 following the loss. The Giants were 18-17 at this point last season. The American League champion Tigers were 17-18.
Maybe the Phillies can get on a roll like they did.
Maybe this was the series they needed.
Of course, the Phillies felt the same way following a three-game sweep against the Mets two weekends ago only to go 2-4 against Cleveland and Miami.
"I think these three games we played good baseball," Chase Utley said. "We fought. We played solid ball. We just didn't come out on top today. Our goal is to play like that every game, regardless of who we're playing or what the standings are. That's our goal."
Giants pinch-hitter Buster Posey singled to center against Phillies left-hander Antonio Bastardo to start the 10th. He advanced to second on a sacrifice bunt, reached third on a wild pitch and scored the winning run on Andres Torres' two-out single to right.
The Phillies trailed 3-1 in the ninth, when Rollins got things started with a double into the right-field corner against Giants closer Sergio Romo. Rollins advanced to third on Kevin Frandsen's flyout. Michael Young walked to put runners at the corners with one out.
Utley singled to center to score Rollins to make it 3-2, just the third time in 19 appearances this season Romo had allowed a run. Young advanced to third and Utley advanced to second on the throw to third. Delmon Young followed with a sacrifice fly to right field to score Michael Young to tie the game.
Phillies right-hander Jonathan Pettibone allowed seven hits, three runs, four walks and struck out one in 5 2/3 innings as the Phillies lost for the first time in his four starts. He has a 3.63 ERA, which is encouraging as Halladay is on the DL for months. The Phillies need their remaining starters to pick up the slack, regardless of how long Halladay is out.
"Kind of each time out, you get more and more comfortable," Pettibone said. "Your confidence gets up each time out. You just kind of build off that. From there, I don't really know what's going to happen. All you can do is focus start to start and go from there."
The Phillies will play the next few months without Halladay, who led them to the postseason in 2010-11. Halladay reiterated before the game how he wants to come back and win a World Series. To have a shot, the Phillies have to prove this week was not an aberration and continue to win.
"It's no secret, we all know how hard Roy works and what he means to this team," Utley said. "Clearly, we're not only playing for ourselves, but we're playing for him as well."

SAE releases deterministic Ethernet
November 10, 2011 by John Day
SAE AS6802 – Time-Triggered Ethernet – is the new industry standard that establishes Ethernet as a deterministic networking technology. It's available for download at http://standards.sae.org/.
Although the source of the new standard, SAE International's AS-2 Embedded Computing Systems Committee, is part of SAE International's Avionic Systems Group, automakers and suppliers are known to be interested.
Time-triggered Ethernet provides an alternative to FlexRay for automotive applications that require deterministic performance. FlexRay has been gaining momentum. NXP Semiconductors said it took three years from the launch of its FlexRay Physical Layer compliant transceiver to reach the one million unit shipping milestone. Achieving two million unit shipments took less than one year.
But Ethernet has been increasingly visible. In September Texas Instruments announced the Hercules TMS570, its highest performance product line for transportation applications. It includes specific connectivity provisions for both FlexRay and Ethernet, as well as the ubiquitous CAN.
In August, Renesas Electronics announced the R-Car E1, a system-on-chip (SoC) for cost-sensitive car navigation and multimedia systems, including high-end car radios. The device supports communications interfaces including MOST, Ethernet, and CAN.
Ethernet's high bandwidth offers advantages for camera systems among other applications. Freescale Semiconductor last summer introduced a 32-bit Qorivva microcontroller (MPC5604E) developed in collaboration with BMW. The MCU is designed to make surround-camera parking assist systems affordable for a broader range of vehicles.
"The MPC5604E will help establish Ethernet as a dependable long-term solution for broadcast of video and other forms of data around the automobile," said BMW senior systems architect, Networks, Thomas Koenigseder. Using Ethernet two-wire networks, automakers can reduce material expenses and lower weight while improving performance.
Freescale noted that for video transmission, a vehicle typically needs several low-voltage differential signaling (LVDS) cables at a cost of roughly $10 each. In contrast, the new MCU transmits high-resolution compressed video data over Fast Ethernet for a 360°view around the vehicle to help make parking simpler and safer. By compressing and transmitting the video signals via Ethernet, the MPC5604E eliminates the need for cables and saves on the bill of materials.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 11/1/2013 (1684 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
A film director who's made the city famous around the world is calling on the mayor to keep Sherbrook Pool open.
Guy Maddin, maker of the acclaimed documentary My Winnipeg, has written Mayor Sam Katz to say he's "extremely saddened to hear of the sudden and possibly permanent closure of Sherbrook Pool."
In November, the pool was suddenly shut after the discovery that 10 pillars supporting the roof had eroded.
A city spokeswoman said Friday "department and third-party engineers are still conducting the structural assessment of the whole building.
"Then we will be looking at all our options. So no decision has been made at this time," she said.
Maddin said the pool, built in 1930, is "just one of the many historically and emotionally iconic Winnipeg locations under constant threat of obliteration here in Winnipeg.
"Far too many rock-solid buildings in Winnipeg have fallen to the wrecker's ball as part of short-term plans that lack vision, perspective or sense of our place in the great human flow of time.
"Their razing has left us ignorant of Winnipeg itself, poorer citizens of the world," Maddin wrote Katz.
"I'm not opposed to change or progress. We just have to ask ourselves what progress is. I love the new MTS Centre, but please, please don't let what happened to Eaton's happen to the Sherbrook Pool."
Maddin said places such as the Sherbrook Pool are "part of our collective consciousness.
"My film, My Winnipeg, is a fanciful and affectionate look at what is really a great city, the city I love, our Winnipeg.
"In the movie, I dreamed there are actually three levels to Sherbrook Pool -- that's how deeply I felt that facility rooted itself in our city's collective memory," he wrote.
A group called Friends of Sherbrook Pool, which raised $5 million for the facility in the past, told news media they felt the city's lack of discussion about the pool's issues after this fall's closure was "disrespectful."
"So many Winnipeggers have felt so strongly about the pool for so long, I feel it's tragic to abort the possibility of further generations feeling the same way," Maddin wrote.
"Let's all get together and fix the one level of the pool that actually does exist," wrote Maddin. "The community it serves needs this pool, the city needs this pool, we all need Sherbrook Pool to stay open."

Although rare in other branches of the Trial Court, complaints for contempt
are a frequently used tool in the Probate and Family Court to enforce compliance
with temporary orders to final judgment. From determining whether a contempt
action exists, to filing your complaint, onto final judgment, family law
practitioners must be comfortable navigating the various procedural rules and
substantive issues. What used to be cut and dry in prosecuting a complaint for
contempt, is now subject to new standards based on recent case law.
Take advantage of this opportunity to hear from First Justice Angela
M. Ordoñez , Judge
John D. Casey and Chief Probation Officer Paul Brian Quinn as they
discuss the specific elements of a complaint for contempt; the
plaintiff and defendant's respective burdens of proof; available defenses and
the possibility of a "counterclaim" for contempt; whether (and what)
discovery is available; when the court is able to modify the underlying
judgment; and pursuing attorneys fees and/or statutory interest.

A colon polyp is a small clump of cells that forms on the lining of the colon. Most colon polyps are harmless. But over time, some colon polyps can develop into colon cancer, which is often fatal when found in its later stages.
Anyone can develop colon polyps. You're at higher risk if you're 50 or older, are overweight or a smoker, or have a personal or family history of colon polyps or colon cancer.
Colon polyps often don't cause symptoms. It's important to have regular screening tests, such as colonoscopy, because colon polyps found in the early stages can usually be removed safely and completely. The best prevention for colon cancer is regular screening for polyps.
There are several types of colon polyps, including:

There is more to fragrance formulation than meets the eye—or nose that is. Fragrance is incorporated into nearly every personal care product on the market and often is instrumental in a consumer's choice; and with personal care formulas ever-evolving, it only follows that the fragrance industry would evolve along side it. During the fragrance selection process, a fragrance formulator must be conscientious of many of the same issues that personal care formulators face. Both raw material and fragrance formulators spend significant time in the lab testing different materials to determine which ingredients, oils, extracts, etc. best meet their formulation and consumer's needs. And although fragrance and personal care are two different industries, the discovery processes prove similar.
Leslie Smith, PhD, has been formulating fragrance for personal care products for a number of years, most recently as the vice president of fragrance technology for Coty/Lancaster. Although he recognizes that fragrance formulating is similar to that of a skin care active, he concedes that there are many details that go into producing a successful scent. Also similar are the technologies available for formulating fragrance and personal care products.
Trends in Delivery
Encapsulation is a trend that is growing in the personal care industry. Just as personal care formulators are enclosing actives to better deliver them to certain areas of the skin, so too are fragrance formulators attempting to encapsulate fragrance to better deliver the scent.

I have tried hard this week to get my head out of bowel transplant mode and in to the space reserved for "rest of my life." I just figured that with my head still spinning with so many things it was time for a mental clear out, a kind of spring clean of the mind. As I write this I have visions of a mini me with duster and polish sitting inside my head polishing lots of bits until they are all shiny. Just hope mini me doesn't drop anything, that is if there is anything to actually drop.
Growing up with Crohn's Disease there was always a degree of tinkering with my ongoing treatment however when it came to my bowel transplant my biggest concerns have been the major issues that need continual monitoring. Now though I am back in that tinkering phase which looking at the big picture is great but it is the daily issues that make the difference between really getting on with life and constantly remembering you have issues that need to be addressed. Right now aside from the nausea my bacterial overgrowth issues have come back so it is a case of back on the antibiotics and then an increased dosage of my probiotics that I bolus in through the mic key button in my stomach.
My biggest frustration though has been a reoccurrence of joint pains. To be honest I initially put it down to old age, hey I am 43 and going grey so it was a logical conclusion I mean even people with very similar physiques to me such as Tom Cruise, George Clooney et al must have grey flecks in their hair and the odd aching limb. My problem has been that the pain has spread to my lower back, finger joints and bizarrely the sole of my right foot. Prior to transplant I had a bone density scan which showed that I was more susceptible to joint problems so I have had bloods re done and a vitamin D injection before deciding what to do next. Boy did the injection hurt though, so thick and gloopy my arm is still sore – stop moaning I hear you shout! I think the answer is very simple, go live in a warmer climate. I wish I did but I don't so again I hear one part of the brain shouting "stop moaning." Actually from the age of 14 my surgeons have said you would benefit from being in a warm climate but did I listen – not, do I wish I did? Of course…
Exploring the reserved area marked rest of my life has seen this week being huge fun. I have actually got lots to tell you. You know that my biggest passion is ensuring that the patient voice is truly heard and that we are not simply a tick box on a marketing slide called "patient centeredness." Well this week saw our Campaign For Better Hospital Food really take off. A report came out stating that over £55 million had been spent in voluntary initiatives all of which have failed to improve the standard of hospital food served to patients. In fact it is at an all time low. As the news hit the media so I received a call from the BBC to do an interview for the breakfast news slot and I had the pleasure of the film crew at my home on Wednesday. I assumed that was the end of it until on Thursday early evening I received a call from Sky news to go to their studios and be live on air on Friday morning. If I am honest I was as nervous as anything but it was good fun and I think it went well. After doing a couple more live radio interviews I sat back on Friday night really proud that I had been able to make a positive contribution to change. How can omelettes made from powdered egg that are cooked, frozen and then reheated be acceptable to serve patients? Or soup fortified with powdered milk and no fresh vegetables. Oh I could rant for ever but you get my drift. I will be putting up links to this media soon for you all to laugh at
That was a great ending to the week but on Wednesday night I did encounter my first "in your face" case of ignorance from a healthcare professional to a patient. I am incredibly privileged to be the patient lead on #nhssm which hosts a weekly tweetchat on various topical issues within NHS. On talking about how social media can be a great learning tool I made reference to the fact that patient blogs are a great way for health professionals to learn things. I was then told that I should go back to using social media to "to follow celebrities." Oh such ignorance. Once I calmed down and then realised that none of my tweets were then being responded to by pretty much all the health care professionals on that specific chat it just made me realise how far patients still have to go to truly be treated on an equal footing. By hey it has just made me even more determined to have our voice heard.
I mentioned this to one of the most highly qualified e-patients in the world Regina Holliday. If you ever get to hear her speak you are in for a real treat. Her response to my frustration was to say "suffering is a great teacher and many others are unschooled…."
The day after this chat I was back at Oxford going through with my surgeon all the things I mentioned at the start of this post. In his room he has a poster on the wall that I have seen many times but never taken any real notice of until this time. This is that poster
To me this sums everything about my journey so far and everything about the rest of my journey.
Till next time

And in the end...

Fuck it. I'm gonna PR this fall. Let's do this.
I tend to breathe... like... a lot.
I think I take more steps than breaths. I think...
I let my mind go where it wants. This could include:
observing nature and whatever else is around me.
watching the sun rise.
thinking through problems.
planning meals or the day's activities.
worrying about getting re-injured.
keeping an eye on my pace.
planning where I would run to if I was attacked.
thinking about the other runners I see (not so many others around these days -- it's too cold and dark when I run).
thinking about work stuff.
deciding on Christmas gifts.
I let my mind go where it wants. This could include:
I would add:
Wonder if the people passing by think I'm crazy runing in the heat/cold
Wonder why I would care what they think
Watch for the friendly yellow dog that likes to head-butt me in the seeds
Dance around like an idiot to avoid stepping on snakes
Enjoy being tuned out
Marvel at the things my body is capable of doing
Give thanks that I can

Never run, if you want to never run, don't start because you'll never stop.
What's is this thing you call running?
Lately I've gotten into listening to audio books.
I start thinking about work, then get pissed off that I'm thinking about work when I'm not AT work. This can go on for miles.
I am pretty good at zoning out. I look around as much as I can. I try not to face plant. (I hate when that happens...)
Merry Christmas!
haha...I just think about everything, sing(which does not sound pretty out of breath), listen to the (mostly annoying) songs running through my head, just do whatever I start doing impulsively.
I wish I was as young as I look in the forum picture! But I'm not. :(

Also, solve problems... lots of time to think and solve problems.

Woman chased man on I-75 with kids in car, deputies say
Published: Monday, September 16, 2013 at 4:38 p.m.
Last Modified: Monday, September 16, 2013 at 4:38 p.m.
A woman angry at a man who wanted to go play cards broke out windows in their home early Monday, then put her two young children in her car and chased him and another woman in a car on Interstate 75 trying to hit their vehicle, deputies said.
The dispute, which started in LaCrosse, ended in a Gainesville convenience store with the woman throwing potato chips and soda at the victims, according to an Alachua County Sheriff's Office report.
Marqusia Ross, 23, and Demeatrice Holmes, 27,began arguing in their home at 9428 NW 95th St. shortly after midnight when Holmes said he wanted to go out, the report said.
The argument spilled outside, then Holmes went back inside. While Ross smashed out windows in the house, Holmes called his ex-girlfriend Destiny Carter, 23, to come get him, deputies said.
After Holmes and Carter drove off, Ross grabbed two children -- ages 3 and 11 months -- and put them in a car and chased the pair through Alachua and onto I-75 southbound to exit 390. A witness called deputies to report a driver who seemed to be trying to hit another car on the highway.
Carter and Holmes pulled into a Kangaroo convenience store on Northwest 39th Avenue and asked the clerk to call deputies. The clerk told the pair to get behind the Subway sandwich counter when Ross followed them inside while carrying one of the children.
Ross grabbed potato chip bags and started throwing them at Holmes. She also threw a metal can opener and a full plastic soda bottle at him.
Ross was arrested on a count of cruelty toward a child and assault. She was being held Monday at the Alachua County jail.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 25/7/2012 (1854 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Alex Brink has looked at the game film and says he's ready to show his true colours.
He's watched his last two appearances and studied his mistakes. The coaches have been in his ear about what he's done right, and more importantly, what he needs to address tonight when the winless Winnipeg Blue Bombers host the Edmonton Eskimos at Canad Inns Stadium (7:30 p.m., TSN, CJOB).
One might think Brink, making just his fifth CFL start in two-plus seasons in Winnipeg, may be feeling the heat for his poor play this season, but he's not. He's taking it all in stride, knowing a good game tonight keeps the calls for change down to a low rumble for another week.
"My confidence is high. I've played this position a long time," Brink said. "You have good days and you have bad days and you have to flush both of them, regardless of what happens. That's just the way it goes. You can't hang your hat on a good day and keep talking about that, and the same with a bad day."
In his last six quarters of play -- the full game in a 25-22 loss to Toronto last week and two full quarters of work in the 42-10 loss in Edmonton July 13 -- Brink is 17-of-52 for 260 yards and three interceptions.
The Argos game was especially disheartening. He completed just 27 per cent of his throws and continually got the club into second-and-long situations with low-percentage passes designed to stretch the field.
This time around, Brink needs to produce a blockbuster. Offensive co-ordinator Gary Crowton, who is taking a fair amount of heat, said the quarterback in his system has the option of going a number of ways with the football, but for whatever reason, Brink was locked in on the deep guy.
"He had his choice, whether he went to the vertical or he went to the underneath on either side," said Crowton, who admittedly has been frustrated with Winnipeg's inability to put pressure on defences. "We spent a lot of time talking about that, because we want to make sure we're throwing higher-percentage passes and not as many home-run shots."
Crowton believes the problem -- though it wouldn't be an issue if Brink completed more of those throws -- has been rectified through preparations this week. Running back Chad Simpson (15 carries, 91 yards against the Argos) should give the 27-year-old pivot a few chances to dump the football off underneath, as should some good news in the receiving corps.
With Cory Watson (hamstring) and Terrence Edwards (leg) healthy enough to play, tonight marks the first game the Bombers will have their entire starting receiving group together on the field.
CORY WATSON'S return to the lineup after missing the first month is the big newsmaker for the Bombers. Those sitting this one out include Ian Logan (leg) and Brandon Collier (shoulder). Both are on the one-game injured list, joining five other potential starters. Brady Browne continues in Logan's safety spot (he'll see less time on special teams as a result), while rookies Jake Thomas and JT Gilmore will platoon in Collier's nose-tackle position.
On the Edmonton side, former Bombers linebacker Clint Kent (knee) and receiver Greg Carr (ankle) are out, as is defensive end Marcus Howard (hamstring) and offensive lineman Simeon Rottier (elbow).
BOMBERS linebacker Pierre-Luc Labbe on the club's mindset after starting the season oh-fer-four and the possible panic that's starting to settle in:
"We want to play like we did last year. It's 0-4, and that's no good. It's not the start we wanted, and it is an 18-game season and all that, but we need a win. We don't want to panic, and we have to remind ourselves to take it easy, but at the end of the day we need to win. This can't continue like it has."
WINNIPEG has held a lead for just 7:57 minutes this season... Opponents are completing 70 peer cent of their passes against the Bombers' secondary... Kicker Justin Palardy has missed only one field-goal attempt (a 48-yard try in Edmonton July 13)... Edmonton quarterback Steven Jyles is 3-0 against Winnipeg... The last time the Eskimos swept the season series against the Bombers was in 2005.

Tonight, I made by far the best grilled shrimp I've ever had. My guests agreed. These shrimp are a bit spicy, but oh so good!
Used the rub from Steven's "How to Grill" recipe for New Orleans shrimp. Added a bit of brown suger to the rub just because I like it. I'm originally from New Orleans so was intrigued by what was being classified as New Orleans shrimp. I've had shrimp almost every possible way. The few times though when I've had grilled shrimp, they were either dry and awful or served covered in steaming hot sauce in the shell and almost impossible to peel. They don't know what they're missing!
Made the basic BBQ sauce using Mesquite flavored Liquid smoke and adding 1/3 cup of honey and 1/2 cup finely chopped purple onion. For the rub in the sauce, I used the following storing the rest away for chicken at some later date:
1/2 cup McCormick Montreal Chicken Seasoning (found at Costco or perhaps Sam's)
1-1/2 tablespoons paprika
1-1/2 tablespoons brown sugar
3/4 teaspoon course ground black pepper
Use large shrimp. To prep the shrimp before adding the rub, I peeled and deveined them with a plastic shrimp peeler. If you're going to prepare shrimp, getting this plastic tool makes an otherwise timeconsuming onerous task a breeze. I used double skewers to make flipping easy.
If you haven't tried shrimp this way, I'd strongly urge you to do so. Steven, if you read this, thank you for opening a new taste world for me.

Ayudha Puja, or Ayuda Pooja, is observed on the ninth day of Navratri festival, mainly in
South India. It is also part of the 10- day Dasara festival in North India. In 2016, the date of Ayudha Puja is October 10. Literally, Ayudha Puja means the worship of weapons. Nowadays, Ayudha Puja means ritual purification of the tools that one use to make a living. Saraswathi Puja and Ayuda Puja are observed on the same day in South India.
Goddess Durga carries numerous weapons which were given to her by various male deities. Therefore there is a belief that the weapons carried by Durga represent the various forces in Nature – Durga's energy rests in these weapons.
Today, Ayudha Puja is the day when Hindus keep the tools and objects that are used to make a livelihood for pooja. The tools and implements are not touched on the Ayudha Puja day. It is only taken on the next day morning with renewed vigor after the blessings from Goddess.
Which tool one keeps during Ayudha Puja depends on his/her trade - this can be laptop, desktop, cycle, autorikshaw, screwdriver, sewing machine etc. Nowadays, people also do not use vehicles on the day. Cars, scooters and bikes are also kept for puja.
Children and people who are associated with art and literature also participate in the Ayudha Puja; they dedicate the prayers and pooja to Goddess Saraswathi. This is referred as Saraswathi Puja. Here too people abstain from touching books and other written materials.
Visiting temples dedicated to Hindu Goddesses is an important part of Ayudha Puja. Special poojas are also performed at home by elders and books and tools are kept for puja.

mooninite - Monday, March 31, 2014 - linkI wouldn't recommend this board since it includes 82574L NICs that have known hardware errata that I have suffered myself. They are also quite old now (3+ years). Any new server board will include I350-based NICs and these seem to be rock solid in my testing. Reply
extide - Monday, March 31, 2014 - linkOdd that they left the remaining 8 PCIe lanes un-used. It would have been a better idea to route them to that last PCIe slot, instead of that slot using 2 lanes from the chipset. Reply
TeXWiller - Monday, March 31, 2014 - linkDo you have any experience with the i210 series? That seems to be the new value choice after the 82574L. Reply
Samus - Monday, March 31, 2014 - linkits funny you mention that, I had HP replace a motherboard in one of my clients Pro 4300 SFF workstations and the new board had an i210, the old board had a Broadcom, so it seems people are moving toward the i210 on the newest hardware revisions. Reply

Ktracho - Monday, March 31, 2014 - linkAny chance of getting a screen shot of the BIOS screen for Advanced/PCI Subsystem Settings? We are very interested in a motherboard that supports the latest NVIDIA Tesla / Xeon Phi boards (which the GA-7PESH3 motherboard support), but we have not been able to find specific information about this Gigabyte motherboard. The key would be for the BIOS screen to have a setting for "PCI 64bit Resources Handling"/"Above 4G Decoding". Can you confirm if this setting exists for the GA-6PXSV3? ASUS has a competing motherboard with a similar setting in the BIOS, but it does not meet our requirements. Reply

First, some background. If you dig through the archives you'll notice that there were some posts a few years ago about me having acquired a family. They're here and here. They were written in 2010 and a lot has changed since then. We're no longer a family; me and Tristan's mother are both single parents as of a year ago. I moved out of the house we all shared and since then I have been on some kind of journey to discover what the fuck I'm doing and how to be the best dad that I can be, basically.
I'm not going to go into anything to do with the relationship, why it ended or how it's been since then as I feel this is mostly irrelevant, but I will say that trying to start a new life when you have to see that person (almost) every single day muddies things quite a bit, to the point where sometimes I wish there was a network of pipes that we could package the kiddo into and he just plops on to my living room sofa.
The very first arrangement that we made was custody, and that we share as close to 50/50 as we could, so a plan was formed that we each have him every other evening, and weekends are alternated. A part-time dad was never what I wanted to be, but this was making the best of a bad situation; I get him Mondays, Wednesdays and every other Friday and Saturday or else on Sunday.
I've learned a lot about life as a single parent in the past 12 months, the biggest thing was that you need two bedrooms if you have a child over the age of two. I got my first apartment, it was very urban twenty-something year old with one bedroom and a lounge/kitchen. Perfect for the new bachelor. A pain for the father to a toddler. Tristan had to sleep with me, and he wouldn't go to sleep without me in there with him, so that meant me having the same bed time as a 2-year-old every other day for 10 months.
We've just moved into a two bedroom house and everything is infinitely easier.
Sometimes he comes to stay while I'm working (I work from home), so we can't go out, but with his own space he doesn't demand all of my attention, he's happy to play with his toys in his room while I get on with my business.
I know that we have quite a unique situation, so working out my parenting style has been part of what I've been going through too. All parents I know that have split up seem to have an arrangement where mum takes full responsibility and dad pops in every now and again, mostly on weekends. I think that going the way that we did is the best for Tristan, but I get that it's not available to everyone. I have however met a few that don't think our agreement is a very good one. Some people (who I might add, don't have children) think that being at two different houses throughout the week has the potential destabilise him and that it isn't a long-term solution. The long-term part, only time will tell, but right now I can tell you that Tristan is happy, healthy and enjoys his time with both of us. There are no fits when it's time to for him to go to his mother's house, and I haven't heard of any when he's coming my way. He's confident and comfortable when he's at my house, even the new one. He'll go to his bedroom or the living room to play, go to the bathroom to pee (he's potty training), and he'll go to the fridge to ask for something to eat/drink when he wants something. He isn't shy, and doesn't appear to feel he's in unfamiliar surroundings.
For me, I'll admit that having him around as often as he is has made things a little more difficult, particularly that part about working out what my new trajectory in life should be, and going through all the emotions a break-up brings; as well as moving out, moving in, and all while trying to keep everything else together. I'm lucky that my job has been very flexible, and that I don't have to go to the office in Bristol any more. Dating is difficult, and Facebook appears to think that I should be dating other single mums. I won't lay the blame on having a child for dating being difficult, as easy as that would be, I think that lies quite firmly in my corner, and being a difficult person. As for the social life, I now appreciate the times that I get to be with friends and to do things. Overall, this year has gained me new friendships, showed me who my real friends are and I've had experiences that I probably wouldn't have had otherwise, all while keeping a healthy relationship with my son.
I look forward to when it's time for us to be together, everything else stops and we hang out, it's quality time unlike we had when we lived together. We go places, we do things; we walk in the park, we go for lunch at the pub, we go to soft-play, we go to the bookshop and the toy shop, and we just hang out at home playing with the great toy collection we've built up in the past year. I think we have a great relationship. I don't think I've ever been mad at him, but I'm definitely not too soft on him, no way is he having Kinder Bueno before dinner and I'm not tidying up his toys on my own. Getting to watch him grow up from close proximity is something I'm thankful for.

iOS dominates mobile platforms for web browsing in 2011

Good article Vic... You´re always so proud of informing good things about Apple.
Apple is on the downhill... Android is going to smash them..!!!!

u mad? need a hugz?
24. thebikerboi2 (Posts: 144; Member since: 01 Apr 2011)
with the amount of iphones shipped in the lst quarter of 2011 i'd say that the fact is quite conterdictory to your comment
3. remixfa (Posts: 14605; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
considering everyone i know runs their android browser in "desktop" not "android", thats really not surprising. They need a way to track the browser while its in both modes to get a true picture.
16. shimmyx20 (Posts: 280; Member since: 03 Mar 2009)
While your friends may be more tech-savvy, I unfortunately have to deal with the general public and troubleshooting their phones. Most of them don't even know how to access the settings for their browser :-/ . So I'm not sure how much impact it will make.
Not that your is moot though. Hopefully there is some way to track it in both modes.
26. remixfa (Posts: 14605; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
i deal with the general public all day. there are quite a few that never change their browser. There is also a good portion that do. its not like half or anything but even 20% is a huge number of people in android land.
17. The_Miz (Posts: 1496; Member since: 06 Apr 2011)
Backpedaling again, remixfa?
20. remixfa (Posts: 14605; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
nope.. consistent as ever.. just like you and your moronic fanboy posting. :)
22. The_Miz (Posts: 1496; Member since: 06 Apr 2011)
Consistently backpedaling.
23. remixfa (Posts: 14605; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
dont you have some steroid enhanced beefcake to rub down? lol
show me where im backpedaling again?
5. manuell3g (Posts: 66; Member since: 12 Aug 2011)
This is so false.if android activation surpasses that of the iPhone then how possible is it that iPhone tops mobile browsing...moreover most android users set their browsers to desktop,iphone4 or ipad mode.
7. JeffdaBeat (unregistered)
iPhone and iPad users are using the web browser Safari more than Android folks use their web browsers. Kind of like how iOS users have a tendency to buy apps a lot more than Android users.
11. robinrisk (unregistered)
Kind of yeah, but Java ME, which is used by feature phones (i think) has a lto more market share than android and that is simply not possible.
It might be a combination of this:
- Its only taking into account 2.3 browsers (about 50% of all android devices)
- I for one dont use the stock browser for anything, and there are a lot of alternate browsers.
- Browser identification in android is usually set to display full webpages.
- The company did not measure correctly, or did not have the tools to measure without having bias on the measurements. (i.e.) Its looking for webpages that iOS users visit a lot, or did the study in places where iOS is dominant.
Anyway, i dont think these results are real.
19. The_Miz (Posts: 1496; Member since: 06 Apr 2011)
Because those Android stats are skewed and false. That or people return them at a higher rate since they tend to have low satisfaction rates.
6. Cwebb (Posts: 501; Member since: 05 Oct 2011)
Why only Android 2.3? It would be different if they showed every version
18. shimmyx20 (Posts: 280; Member since: 03 Mar 2009)
This is true. After all, it is showing every version of the other OSes as far as I can tell
8. JGuinan007 (Posts: 692; Member since: 19 May 2011)
These tests are so flawed just set to show Apple propaganda why would Victor H post such an article
10. robinrisk (unregistered)
That is extremely strange though, with android having close to two times as many devices worldwide, and only having a 13% share. I think remixfa might be right, but the difference is so big that i dont think thats the complete reason.
12. -RVM- (Posts: 331; Member since: 19 Oct 2011)
Who the hell is NetMarketshare.com ? The site is ranked 65244 on Alexa.com. Why don't u show us graphs from StatCounter, which is one of the biggest web traffic analysis site (and ranked 176 by Alexa) ?
13. xray174 (Posts: 85; Member since: 21 Nov 2011)
false all the way
14. musi722 (Posts: 46; Member since: 15 Dec 2011)
it seems some friends didn't figure out .
i tell you . apple have the most point so it tells that the most amount of web browsing done by a device that use safari and just iOS devices have safari browser!
get it. apple have the most points so it tells that the most amount of web browsing has done with a device that works with iOS
do you get it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
15. jinwons (Posts: 95; Member since: 24 Nov 2010)
This is very biased analysis. Why include only 2.3? Also android users often use desktop mode in browser or other browser apps and I suspect that was not counted correctly.
21. bbblader (Posts: 590; Member since: 24 Oct 2011)
2 facts why apple beats android in web browser share:
1 - apple fans are rich,because they can afford one and there is a very little chance they dont have internet and have to use wi-fi,but more of the android users dont have internet and use wi-fi and even a less persentage is the people with wi-fi routers in their apartaments.
2 - most android users dont use the original web browser
25. roscuthiii (Posts: 2246; Member since: 18 Jul 2010)
Riiiight... All this really tells us about Android browser use is that Android 2.3 users who haven't changed their browser mode made up just over 16% of their survey.
(The article states 16.1 yet the bottom chart shows 16.29, not much of a difference granted but that's still a pretty apparent discrepancy when exact numbers are stated. Compounded by the fact that if you look at the chart it shows Android finishing at around 9% based on Nokia's starting numbers in the year. Hey, if graphs and charts are going to be presented, the numbers should match is all I'm saying.
And yet with Android's growth faster and faster this year, in November and December there was a 2% decline? Have I said, 'Riiiight' yet?)

Sigh…spring is the air…the birds…the bees…the blooming flowers…the beauty products? Yup! Every spring we get a ton of collections and most of them are all right. Unless, they're the L'Oreal Paris Colour Riche Versailles Romance Collection. Which is limited edition by the way!
Inspired by French royalty (of course), the collection features an assortment of fresh pastel shades. According to L'Oreal Paris it reflects the romance and grace of Versailles. Take a look below…does it? I've never been. Included in the collection are six new shades of Colour Riche Nail lacquer, three Baroque-inspried styles of Colour Riche Nail Lingerie (3D nail stickers), and six shades of Colour Riche Balm.
I've used all three products before and yes I am a fan! I'm dying over the shades of these nail lacquers! I can't wait to wear them. Perfect for spring.
These products are available now at drugstores nationwide, until supplies last.
Which L'Oreal Paris Colour Riche Versailles Romance Collection product are you dying to get your hands on?

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 21/2/2013 (1643 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
KINGSTON, ONT. -- Manitoba's Jennifer Jones will head into the final day of the round robin today at the Canadian women's curling championship with not much more to be determined than maybe a little slice of Canadian curling history.
With a pair of wins Thursday -- a 9-7 thriller over Ontario's Rachel Homan in the morning and a 7-1 shellacking of Quebec's Allison Ross Thursday night -- Jones improved to a perfect 9-0 and has now clinched a spot in Saturday's coveted Page playoff 1 vs. 2 game, where the winner advances directly to Sunday's final while the loser gets a second chance in the semifinal.
With one more win today -- either this afternoon over New Brunswick's Andrea Crawford or tonight versus Saskatchewan's Jill Shumay -- Jones would clinch first place and the hammer in the 1 vs. 2 game, along with her choice of rocks.
With two more wins today, Jones would lock down all those things and write a new chapter in curling's history books as the first team to go undefeated in the Scotties round robin since way back in 1985 -- and the first team of any kind to do it since the Scotties round robin became an 11-game affair.
Put it all together and what you have is a Manitoba team that appears to be on the fast track to Riga, Latvia, where next month's women's world curling championship will be held.
"Yay," Jones giggled. "We're pretty excited. Usually, the last round-robin game, we have to do something good to get in a good spot, and this year it's a little bit different.
"Hopefully, we can carry that momentum into tomorrow and then the playoffs."
Jones schooled Homan Thursday morning in the most highly anticipated round-robin game this week.
While both skips made some exceptionally difficult shots, Homan missed far more than Jones and paid dearly every time, most notably in the fourth end when a pair of Homan misses led to a Manitoba four-ender.
When the smoke settled, Jones had blistered the 23-year-old Homan 93-71 in shooting percentage at the skip position and snapped what was a 30-game winning streak for the Ontario foursome that dated back to a cashspiel in mid-November.
Homan was asked afterward if it felt a little like an overfilled balloon had finally burst.
"No, not at all. I'm so proud of my team for winning 30 games in a row -- it's unbelievable...
"I predicted we were going to lose a couple games. It's nationals -- it's tough. There's so many good teams and we're just trying to get to the playoffs and we're looking really good."
Lost a bit in all of Thursday's focus on Manitoba-Ontario was defending champion Heather Nedohin, whose Canada team followed a loss to Manitoba on Wednesday with another to Saskatchewan on Thursday morning before rebounding with a 5-3 win over Alberta at night to head into today in third place with a 7-2 record.
That's a game behind Homan, who followed the loss to Manitoba Thursday morning with a last-rock 6-5 win over Nova Scotia at night to head into today alone in second place at 8-1.
B.C.'s Kelly Scott, meantime, has battled her way back into contention and now controls her own playoff fate after a pair of wins Thursday improved her team's record to 6-3.
Scott finishes with a relatively soft schedule today against Northwest Territories and Quebec and would do no worse than the fourth and final playoff spot if she wins.
"I think the way we're playing, everything is winnable," said Scott. "I think we've got to be careful not to take anything lightly and to come out and play good. Especially going into playoffs, you want good, precision games."

New Haven, Conn. -- The University of Pennsylvania volleyball team fell to Yale tonight, 3-1 (18-25, 14-25, 27-25, 21-25).Despite the loss, the Quakers accomplished a feat that no other team in the Ivy League has done this season - win a set against the Bulldogs. Penn is 7-8 overall, 1-3 Ivy League; Yale is 10-3 overall, 4-0 Ivy League.
Errors posed as a struggle in the first two sets for the Red and Blue, who were unable to reach positive ground in hitting percentage. However, Penn wasn't the only team struggling at first, as Yale committed eight errors and only hit a .156 percentage. Both teams were playing out of character, but the Bulldogs were first to find a spark.
Set two began with an exchange of points, until Yale came to life after a service error by Penn. With the score tied at eight, Bulldog Kendall Polan went behind the line and helped her team take a three-point advantage, 11-8. After one possession by the Red and Blue, Yale went on a five-point run and the Quakers found themselves down by seven, 16-9. Penn could not find a rhythm and lost set two, 25-14. Up 2-0, the Bulldogs were on their way to another Ivy sweep, or so they thought.
Catching Yale off guard in the third-set, the Red and Blue powered their way to a 9-4 lead, with a service ace from Ronnie Bither, kills from Michellie McDonald-O'Brien and Alex Caldwell, and two attack errors by Bulldog Mollie Rogers. The Quakers were hitting strong and reached an attack percentage of .471, as they advanced the score to a 10-point gap, 18-8. After a kill from McDonald-O'Brien to make the score 21-14, Yale battled back to take the lead, 24-23. The match point never came for the Bulldogs, however, as Penn's perseverance shown through.
The next point went to the Red and Blue, a kill by Caldwell tied the score at 24. Sophomore Alexis Genske claimed the next point, putting Penn back in the lead, 25-24. Once again, the score would even out but it would be for the last time. Genske put down another kill for the Quakers, giving them the advantage once more, at 26-25. An attack gone sour by Bulldog Karlee Fuller ended the set and Yale's 20 consecutive set wins. The Red and Blue totaled 16 kills in set three with a hitting percentage of .286.
It was on to set-four, which produced exciting rallies by both teams. It was an even set until Yale pulled ahead by five-points in a row. Penn responded with four consecutive points but again fell behind by another five-point run from the Bulldogs, which advanced the score to 20-15. Points were traded between the two teams, but the Quakers could not catch up and fell, 25-21.
Senior captain Susan Stuecheli hit an even .500 percentage and led in kills with 10. Fellow senior captain Dani Shepherd led the defense with 27 digs.
Tomorrow, the Quakers will end their month long road trip against the Bears at 5 p.m.
