Like the lush Indonesian island of its origin, this spicy coffee stands alone.
Full-bodied with a smooth mouthfeel, lingering flavors of dried herbs and fresh earth, and almost no acidity. Our roasters love transforming these unpredictable beans from dark coral green to tiger-orange to a rich, oily mahogany, revealing bold flavors that many us of us can't live without. Coffee from Sumatra is the foundation of our most treasured blends, and something we've been honored to share with you for four decades.
A Better Cup
We're committed to ethically sourcing and roasting the highest-quality arabica coffee in the world. When we buy coffee this way, it fosters a better future for farmers, and a more stable climate for the planet. It also helps create a long-term supply of the high-quality beans we've been carefully blending, roasting and packing fresh for more than 40 years.
Full-Bodied & Bold
Recipe for great coffee
- Use cold, filtered water and a clean machine.
- Grind beans just before brewing:
- Coarse for coffee press
- Medium for automatic drip
- Measure 2 tbsp (10 g) ground coffee for every 6 fl oz (180 ml) water.
To help preserve that fresh flavor, keep this bag sealed tight in a cabinet (not in the refrigerator) and brew within a week of opening.
Each coffee requires slightly different amounts of time and temperature during the roasting process to create a cup at its peak of aroma, acidity, body and flavor. We classify our coffees in three roast profiles so you can easily find your desired flavor and intensity.
- Blonde: Blonde-roasted coffees have a shorter roast time, lighter body and mellow flavors.
- Medium: Medium-roasted coffees are balanced with smooth and rich flavors.
- Dark: Dark-roasted coffees feature a fuller body and robust, bold flavors.

With the clash at Goodison Park being postponed, Crystal Palace have not taken to the field since the 3-1 win over West Brom two weekends ago.
The extra week's rest may benefit Tony Pulis' men, as they play host to the champions Manchester United this evening.
One player who the Eagles will be looking to provide a creative spark is winger Jason Puncheon, with the former Southampton man in a rich vein of form.
After that horrendous penalty miss a few weeks ago, he has been inspired to produce some of his finest displays in a Palace shirt, and his penetrating runs down the left have become a vital cog in the Eagles' offensive machine.
This is best demonstrated by the fact that he has completed more dribbles than any other Palace player (36).
Pulis has always been an advocate of offensive wing-play, with his teams characterised with quick wingers who have the ability to deliver the ball.
The aforementioned Puncheon certainly fits into this category, along with Yannick Bolasie, the player employed on the opposite wing.
Bolasie has impressed with his dribbling skills this term, but what surprise many Eagles fans is that his tackling has also been of the highest order.
The EA SPORTS PPI shows that he has won an impressive 79 per cent of his challenges.
If Palace are relegated this term it is certain that there won't be a shortage of suitors for talisman Mile Jedinak.
The Australian has been inspirational at both ends of the pitch for the Eagles this term, making more offensive contributions than any other Palace player (405), and also intercepting the ball 90 times – the most in the league.
Adlene Guedioura has not featured as prominently as he would have liked this term, which many pundits may be surprised at, considering his undoubted quality.
In the few minutes he has played, however, the Algerian has made a sizeable impression – completing a pass in the opposition half at a rate of a one every 4.1 minutes, a better rate than any other midfielder in the Palace squad.

Perritt Propels Flames to Big South Baseball Championship Title
Big South Baseball Championship MVP Ashton Perritt singled home the winning-run in the top of the ninth, and then pitched a scoreless bottom of the inning, pushing the No. 5 seed Liberty Flames past the No. 1 seed Campbell Camels, 2-1, in the conference's title game, Saturday afternoon at the Liberty Baseball Stadium.
With the win, the Flames, 34-27, claim the Big South Conference's automatic bid to an NCAA Regional and their first conference crown since 2000. Liberty will find out their regional destination, when the NCAA Regionals bracket is announced, Monday at Noon on ESPNU.
Campbell falls to 49-10 and will now wait to see if they receive an at-large selection to the NCAA Regionals on Monday.
It is only the fourth time in 25 conference tournaments that the host team has won the Big South Championship. The last host to capture the conference title was Coastal Carolina in 1992. Liberty also becomes only the second No. 5 seed to win the conference title, last accomplished by Campbell in 1990.
After five scoreless innings and the game tied at 1-1, Liberty, the visitors by virtue of its lower seed, had its first two batters in the top of the ninth reach. First baseman Alex Close opened the inning by reaching on a throwing error by Campbell shortstop Brent Graham and advancing to second as the throw rolled down the line. After pinch hitter Sammy Taormina was then hit by a pitch, Perritt ripped a single through the left side of the infield, plating Close for a 2-1 lead.
In the bottom of the inning, Perritt took over for Flames' starter Josh Richardson on the mound and sealed the contest with a scoreless relief inning. After sandwiching two strikeouts around a single by Camel catcher Michael DeLucia, the right-hander induced a ground out for the final out, earning his ninth save of the year and securing the title.
After Liberty stranded a runner at third base in the top of the first inning, Campbell struck for the first run of contests in the bottom of the frame. With one out, Graham reached on a fielding error by Flames' third baseman Jake Kimble and moved to second on a single by All-Big South first team second baseman Michael Felton. Designated hitter David Olson then singled to fill the bases with Camels. Big South All-Conference first team third baseman Elijah Trail followed with a fielder's choice RBI grounder, giving Campbell a 1-0 edge.
In the top of the third, Liberty shortstop Dalton Britt evened the score with his second home run of the season. Leading off the inning, the freshman shortstop ripped a 1-0 pitch into the right field bullpen to knot the game at 1-1.
The Flames loaded the bases in the top of the fourth, only to come away empty. All-Big South first team catcher Trey Wimmer led off the inning with a single and advanced to second on a fielding error by left fielder Trevor Lane. Two batters, second baseman Bryan Aanderud singled to put runners at the corners with one out. After the next batter was retired, Close walked, filling the bases with two out. But, Campbell starter, all-conference first team pitcher Ryan Mattes, got the next batter to fly out to end the inning and hold the runners in place.
In the top of the fifth, Liberty once again left the bases loaded. Perritt singled with one out and the Flames filled the bases on two-out walks to Wimmer and designated hitter Danny Grauer. However, Mattes retired the next Flames' hitter on a ground out to keep the score tied at 1-1.
Richardson moves to 3-4 on the year. The right-hander allowed one run on five hits over the first eight innings. He struck out one and walked one.
Big South all-conference first team reliever Ryan Thompson takes his first loss of the year, dropping to 9-1. The third of four pitchers in the contest for Campbell, he gave up one run on two hits during one inning of work.
Liberty collected eight hits in the contest. Perritt had three hits to lead the Flames. Wimmer and Aanderud added two hits each for Liberty. Campbell recorded six hits in the game. First baseman Nick Ray had two hits for the Camels.
Perritt, the tournament's MVP, was joined by Flames Britt, Kimble, Wimmer, outfielder Justin Sizemore and pitcher Blake Fulghum on the Big South All-Tournament team.

Toyota ShareLunker 473 Comes From Anderson County
ATHENS, Texas — The latest Toyota ShareLunker had a short ride to its new quarters at the Texas Freshwater Fisheries Center: It was caught from a private lake in Anderson County only a few miles away.
Paul Detwiler of Tyler was fishing in five feet of water on November 16 when the big bass attacked his Strike King lipless crankbait. The fish weighed 14.43 pounds and was 27.5 inches long and 21.75 inches in girth.
Detwiler's fish is the second entry into the Toyota ShareLunker program this season and only the ninth ShareLunker ever to be caught during the month of November. It is the first entry from a private lake during that month.
Anyone legally catching a 13-pound or larger largemouth bass between October 1 and April 30 can enter it into the ShareLunker program by calling program manager David Campbell at (903) 681-0550 or paging him at (888) 784-0600 and leaving a call-back number including area code. It's best to repeat the number at least twice, since reception is often poor in remote areas.
ShareLunker entries are used in a selective breeding program at the Texas Freshwater Fisheries Center (TFFC) in Athens. Some of the offspring from these fish are stocked back into the water body from which they were caught. Other ShareLunker offspring are stocked in public waters around the state in an attempt to increase the overall size and growth rate of largemouth bass in Texas.
Anglers entering fish into the Toyota ShareLunker program will receive a free replica of their fish, a certificate and ShareLunker clothing and be recognized at a banquet at the Texas Freshwater Fisheries Center in Athens. In addition, if a Texas angler catches the largest entry of the year, that person will receive a lifetime fishing license.
For complete information and rules of the ShareLunker program, tips on caring for big bass and a recap of last year's season, see . The site also includes a searchable database of all fish entered into the program along with pictures where available.
The Toyota ShareLunker Program is made possible by a grant to the Texas Parks & Wildlife Foundation from Gulf States Toyota. Toyota is a long-time supporter of the Foundation and Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, providing major funding for a wide variety of education, fish, parks and wildlife projects.
This news release originally said that the catch was in Henderson County. The error has been corrected.

REDFORD, Mich. - The man arrested for attempting to abduct a girl in Redford, pleaded guilty to charges and was sentenced to 1 to 7 1/2 years in prison on Tuesday.
Terry Lee Kostiuk, 52 of Redford, pleaded guilty to attempted kidnapping/child enticement and accosting a child for immoral purposes in court.
Kostiuk was arrested after he attempted to lure six-year-old Madison McCue into his car on Jan. 2.
McCue was walking to a neighbor's house in the area of Poinciana, south of 7 Mile Road.
Mother, Christine Romain, said she was watching her little girl as she walked only a few doors down from her home.
That's when Kostiuk drove up to McCue and asked if she wanted some candy. "I didn't say anything, I just got on my scooter and rode all the way back home," McCue said.
The child was able to flee, and McCue's mother called police. Police released a composite sketch and Kostiuk was arrested.
Kostiuk is already a registered sex offender, he was convicted of accosting a child for immoral purposes back in 1996.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 20/3/2013 (1617 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
I T'S temporary, sure. But it's as real as the black and white of the National Hockey League standings: The Winnipeg Jets are once again atop the Southeast Division after rallying for a 3-1 victory over the mighty Boston Bruins Tuesday night at the MTS Centre.
The victory not only improves the Jets to 16-12-2 for 34 points, but moves them from seventh to third in the Eastern Conference after the Carolina Hurricanes fell 4-1 to the Florida Panthers.
"We're just trying to push up the standings as far as we can go," said Jets captain Andrew Ladd. "I don't think you can worry about what everybody else is doing, it's more about what we're doing in here."
The Jets come out of the hangar soaring and almost blow the roof off less than five minutes in when Blake Wheeler clangs one off the crossbar behind Tuukka Rask. But any offensive momentum the club had seemed to fizzle as the Bruins went on the power play twice in the second half of the opening period. That said, the Bruins weren't just 0-for-2 with the man advantage, they didn't muster a single shot.
The tone was set for a sloppy second early, when Zach Bogosian's attempted pass to Ron Hainsey went off the end boards and off the side of the net right to a streaking Brad Marchand. The Bruins' über-pest, playing in his 200th NHL game, potted the opportunity behind Ondrej Pavelec just eight seconds in — the quickets goal the Jets have allowed to start a period this season.
"We were going in the wrong direction after watching the second and playing that way," said Jets coach Claude Noel. "From that standpoint, I liked the will of the room and the leadership group in trying to get us to play in the right areas and not deal with the negative emotions and frustrations and things that were evident in the second."
The numbers looked bleak for the Jets heading into the third, having gone 0-7-0 in games in which they trailed after 40 minutes. Make that 1-7-0 now, after Wheeler and Evander Kane scored 57 seconds apart to take the lead, before Wheeler potted an empty-netter in the dying seconds to seal the deal. Just as important as the rally was Wheeler's first goal came on the power play against the NHL's top-rated penalty-kill unit.
"Like I've said so many times, this is what is different from last year: We know how to play those games," said Ondrej Pavelec. "We didn't give up. We started the third period a little bit slowly and they played really well. We didn't know what to do. But the power-play goal was huge and it was a great comeback in the third."
The Jets are now 11-4-1 since their slump at the start of the season. What made this significant wasn't just the rally against a Stanley Cup contender — it was just the sixth loss for the Bruins this season — but how the Jets answered a so-so performance in Sunday's loss to Ottawa with a solid effort.
"We'll take it. It wasn't pretty but they seldom are when you are playing really good teams," said Wheeler. "They had us frustrated. We weren't getting pucks behind them, we weren't getting our forecheck going.
"Then, that's what happens: You score a goal, all of a sudden it's a tie game and you got all the momentum. Hockey is a funny game: Sometimes you are just down and out... and you pop a goal and the next thing you know you're just flying. "

Woods Online student tackles educational challenge
February 18th, 2014 | SMWC
Through state standards and classroom materials, a Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College (SWMC) intern recently helped the Terre Haute Children's Museum translate the educational value that they provide to children for educators in the area. To help the children's museum in their dedication to providing a place for elementary students to learn, Woods Online elementary education major, Tabytha Seward, created resources for local educators planning field trips during her recent internship at the museum.
During her internship, Seward of Brazil, Ind., connected Indiana and Illinois educational standards to the existing museum exhibits, networked and surveyed the local homeschool community, helped the museum prepare for educational events and researched ideas for future events and programs. The majority of her work was focused on creating connections between the classroom and the museum for educators' use.
"The educational standards are very important when educators are considering field trips," states Seward. "Today's teachers are limited on the number of field trips they can take. They must also justify their choice of field trips and connect field trips to academic standards. Having the standards listed for the exhibits creates a more polished profile for the museum and demonstrates that the museum is dedicated to helping make classroom connections for educators."
Seward's site supervisor at the museum, Rachael Nickel, director of education and exhibits, said that the museum was at the point where they needed to update the academic standards information on the website and in printed materials.
"This is important so that teachers can see the educational relevance of a field trip at the museum. With field trip budgets being cut, it's important for us to display why we are a good field trip destination," states Nickel. "The museum has seen a very slight decrease in field trips over the last couple years, and we're a little apprehensive about what this year's 'field trip season' will bring. Again, we must make ourselves look as appealing as possible to teachers seeking a standards-linked, educationally-rich learning experience for their students."
In addition to researching state standards and attaching them to museum exhibits, Seward created a "Scientific Thinking" flyer for educators to use on field trips to help students focus on specific tasks while at the museum and to help students make connections between museum learning and classroom activities. She also designed a program reference guide with appropriate grade levels for each museum exhibit and program.
"We have a small staff, so anytime we have as skilled and eager an intern as Tabytha, it can be immensely helpful," states Nickel.
Not only was the experience beneficial to the teachers and their students, but it is also a benefit to Seward in furthering her career goals.
"When people hear your major is education, most of the time people make the assumption that you will take the linear career path to teach in a classroom. However, it has always been my desire to develop curriculum, create lesson plans and learning activities for children," states Seward. "My time at the children's museum has confirmed my desire to continue down the alternative career path for an education major to pursue educational opportunities outside of the classroom. My goal is to work in a children's museum or possibly a library."
Internships are highly recommended to all SMWC students whether online or on campus. While it is not a typical component of most online programs, SMWC has long provided adult learners with internship experiences.
"Although most online students have work experience, it may not be in their desired career field," said Susan Gresham, director of career development. "Internships can serve as a bridge experience to position them for success in a new career direction or advancement in their current job. Online students want and need to expand their network and polish their professional image."

Roman and Williams is a New York–based design firm responsible for creating celebrated interiors like the pubby Breslin restaurant in the Ace Hotel, the über-glamorous Boom Boom Room on the 18th floor of the Standard Hotel, and the renovated Royalton Hotel. Other recent and current projects include a new hotel on 57th Street in Manhattan, three restaurants in New York, a retail store for Cole Haan, and a new nightclub in Singapore. They got their start in set design working on movies like Addicted to Love, Practical Magic and Zoolander and only switched gears after Ben Stiller wondered aloud on the set of Duplex why his home couldn't look as amazing as the set the duo had created. After completely redesigning Stiller's house, they moved on to interiors full time.
Here, they give us their thoughts on the holiday's most hotly anticipated visuals—the city's elaborate department store windows.
Barneys New York
The Barneys New York windows are always very theatrical," says Stephen Alesch of the design firm Roman and Williams about this year's displays, which were created in partnership with the Food Network, the Cooking Channel, and Illycaffé. "In typical Barneys style, there is a pop-cultural element; this year it is focused on food personalities. They are colorful and witty but less about fashion or high-end design and more about a caricature, sort of like a living New Yorker cartoon." The windows feature food-world luminaries divided into four categories: the Gals (left), from Sandra Lee to Paula Deen; the Bad Boys, chefs such as Mario Batali and Bobby Flay; Miss Illy, an homage to Illycaffé; and a Revolutionary Stew, a group of trailblazing innovators like Jamie Oliver and Julia Child.
Inspired by the passion and creativity of foodie culture, creative director Simon Doonan worked with Lee Schrager, the founder of the South Beach and New York City Wine and Food Festivals, to create his colorful list of 70 culinary stars.

Mary Tyler Moore blew me away with her performance as the distant, cold-hearted mother in this movie. Knowing her only as the buoyant Mary of "The Mary Tyler Moore Show", I was even more chilled by her character's inability to connect with anyone but herself. And although Timothy Hutton's struggles are primarily psychological, he makes them almost tangible through his vibrant and honest portrayal of a young man who has lost sight of what he wants from life . . . and if he really wants to live.

AMANDA Freeman, the daughter of much-loved Shakers fan Keith Freeman, says she has been overwhelmed by the response to her father's death.
The 68-year-old former publican developed a stomach illness last Friday and was admitted to North Manchester hospital late on Saturday after his condition worsened, but died nine hours later.
A proud family man, Keith leaves behind wife Margaret, son Darren and daughter Amanda, but was also described by Bury Football Club as a "second father" to many of its players.
As the former landlord of the Golden Fleece and Waterloo pubs, he provided digs to a whole host of Shakers stars over the years – from Tony Rigby to, more recently, goalkeeper Cameron Belford.
"I remember when Cameron arrived he was really shy and at first spent most of his time in his room," said Amanda.
"But my dad always made sure every player felt part of the family.
"He got me to bring Cameron down to have tea with us one night and told him 'you're one of us now'.
"Cameron ended up calling him his second dad and my parents became really good friends with his mum and dad, Michelle and Dale."
As well helping to welcome new players to the club, Keith was also a season ticket-holder and keen fundraiser, and sponsored a number of matches.
"Obviously, my dad knew a lot of people in and around the club, but I had no idea just how many," said Amanda, 42, who used to attend Bury matches with her dad.
"The response to his death has been overwhelming. My phone has not stopped, with calls and text messages. And the number of posts and messages on the fans forum and social media sites has been staggering.
"Myself, my mum and brother are immensely grateful and would like to thank everyone for their well wishes."
Bury football club led the tributes to Keith.
"He was a fan in every sense of the word, and a great friend of the club," said a Shakers spokesman.
"He will be greatly missed by everyone at the JD Stadium and our deepest condolences are offered to the family and friends of a great Shaker."
Former Bury player Jamie Hoyland reiterated those sentiments.
"I remember him from my playing days, and more recently he sat just in front of me in the main stand at the JD," said Hoyland.
"He was such a lovely fellow and I know he will be sadly missed by everyone connected to the club."
David Giffard, chairman of Forever Bury, said Freeman played a big part in the evolution of the supporters group, allowing them to meet at his pub and pass around a collection bucket in the club's darker days.
"It is very sad news about Keith – he was Bury FC through and through," added Giffard.
Amanda and Darren will be attending Saturday's home match against Burton Albion, when it is understood there will be a tribute to Keith before the kick-off.

BLACKBURN-based education technology company Promethean World said it was in a 'strong position to face the future' after it reduced its losses by more than £100 million last year.
The firm, which has its UK base in Lower Philips Road, posted a pre-tax loss of £6.7m for the year to December 31, down from £165.4m the year before. The interactive learning technology provider posted revenue of £141.2m.
And although the figure was down 10 per cent from 2012, the company said this was a slower pace of revenue decline from 2012, when turnover fell 29.6 per cent.
Chief executive officer Jim Marshall said: "2013 has been a year of stabilisation financially and, at the same time, there has been considerable innovation in our product and service offering. This has placed us in a stronger position to face the future.
"The backdrop of budgetary constraint remains but we have delivered results above market expectations.
"Our revenue has declined at a noticeably slower pace than in 2012, we have increased our profitability markedly at the EBITDA level and have more than doubled our net cash."
A raft of boardroom changes are also on the horizon, the company announced.
Chairman Graham Howe will step down in May and will remain a non-executive director, with Philip Rowley succeeding him.
Chief financial officer Neil Johnson is to leave the company in April, and will be replaced by financial controller Ian Baxter.
And the company's founder, Tony Cann, will give up his role as non-executive director and become a consultant to the company.
Dante Roscini will become a professor at the Harvard Business School in Boston, USA, and will not look to be reappointed as an independent non-executive director at the company's AGM in May.

The crowd is hopping from foot to foot—kids blowing whistles; grown-ups blowing steam from coffee cups. It's a July day masquerading as October, and I'm on the Government Wharf in Joe Batt's Arm, waiting for the Great Fogo Island Punt Race to There and Back to begin.

Each year during the third weekend of September, the Town of Elliston, the Root Cellar Capital of the World, hosts Canada's and Newfoundland & Labrador's top chefs and hundreds of participants to celebrate culinary excellence and the root cellar's cultural heritage. This year, participants voted on Newfoundland & Labrador's best cod dish crowning the "King of Cod", hiked the coastal scenes of Elliston, and sat with new and old friends to celebrate the latest installment of the Roots, Rants, and Roars Fall Festival.

If you want to go cod fishing from a traditional Newfoundland dory then you need to contact Darren Park. Darren is a top notch guide and operates 2 Newfoundland dories for tours of the Goose and Penguin Arm and is based in Cox's Cove at the end of the North Shore highway (highway 440) near Corner Brook. His dory fishing trips are unique in the province and are very popular during the recreational cod fishery which runs until August 10 this summer. When we phoned to book our trip he told us that all of his groups have caught their limit so far this year and that the largest fish caught was a 15 lb cod. "Perfect" we said "mark us down for the Tuesday, August 5 in your evening time slot."

Explore the past, experience the beauty. Hiding between the great Tablelands and the vast Atlantic Ocean sits quiet Trout River. While proclaiming itself to be Newfoundland's best kept vacation secret, a more accurate account would be Canada's best kept secret. This destination should be on every travellers list when exploring Newfoundland. Situated 86km from Deer Lake International Airport, in the glorious Gros Morne National Park, it is a rare and beautiful find nestled within another rare and beautiful find.

Theatre Newfoundland Labrador (TNL) is back in Cow Head and they are performing several new plays for the summer 2012 season. We recently saw "The Fly Fisher's Companion" and would recommend this play to anyone since although it deals with salmon fishing, its main theme is the changing face of friendship. The play follows Wes (played by Michael Chaisson) and Don (performed by John Dartt) as they gear up to go salmon fishing from a cabin they built together many years ago.

"And, therefore, I shall presume to tell you, by the way, that it is a grand error, and of dangerous consequence in Christian academies … that they study the creature before the Redeemer…. If you see not yourselves, and all things, as living, and moving, and having being God, you see nothing, whatever you think you see. If you perceive not, in your study of the creatures, that God is all, and in all, and that 'of him, and through him, and to him, are all things,' you may think, perhaps, that you 'know something; but you nothing as you ought to know.'….

The Sobatha alphabet was made by Sam Block (teanke (at) mac.com) around the end of the 2003-2004 school year. He has had a fascination with writing systems and languages, and has made many of them.
Sobatha is used to write the language of Cujoltha. Sobatha is an archaic variant of the word "sova", which means monastery. Sobatha means "from the monastery", and comes from the Therasvan Monastery on the continent of Lerasvani, part of the mythical world Secala made by Sam Block. Cujoltha is also an archaic variant of cushin, mouth, meaning "from the mouth", and was first spoken in and around the Feranthi sector of Lorand, another continent on Secala.
Cujoltha, a language invented by Sam Block in mid 2004. It's grammar (an object subject verb grammar) is influenced by Latin and Japanese, and it's vocabulary comes from Japanese, English, Latin, Spanish, Hebrew, D'ni, and various other languages Sam Block has made.

Michelangelo, Italian, 1475-1564
Black chalk on paper, 28.9 x 18.9 cm
Genre: European Art, Works on Paper
Location: Short Gallery
Accession Number: 1.2.o.16
Michelangelo made this highly finished drawing at the request of Vittoria Colonna, among the most accomplished women of the Renaissance. The widowed marchesa of Pescara, admired for her learning, piety, and eloquence, was active in religious circles and published acclaimed spiritual poetry. When they met about 1536, she became one of Michelangelo's few intimate friends, and the only woman among them. He too was a poet, and the pair exchanged verses and letters, which joined with the designs he gave her in a heartfelt dialogue about their mutual enthusiasms for church reform and the arts.
Though titled a Pietà, the drawing actually telescopes two consecutive episodes from Christ's Passion, doubling its theological and emotional impact. The venerable Pietà theme spotlights the Virgin alone over her prostrate son, just taken down from the cross; in this image, she mouths a grief-stricken appeal for heavenly consolation. But Mary is here upstaged by Christ, who is suspended in frontal view by two boyish angels – a group recalling the Man of Sorrows theme, a later moment that emphasizes Christ's physical sacrifice as his corpse slumps in the tomb.
Like much of Michelangelo's work, the drawing is deeply autobiographical. The key to its meanings, both public and private, lies in the verse from Dante's Paradiso inscribed on the (now partly-cropped) cross: "There they don't think of how much blood it costs" (Non vi si pensa quanto sangue costa). Michelangelo, who knew much of Dante by heart, quotes canto 29, where Beatrice deplores how few on earth appreciate the sacrifices martyrs make to spread the divine gospel down there, or how pleasing to God are those who cling to it. The message is conventional – the hardships of propagating the true faith – but it also held personal spiritual meaning for artist and recipient alike. Both traveled in Roman circles that preached salvation by faith, which might be achieved by prayerfully contemplating sacred events: Michelangelo's late poetry increasingly invoked the blood shed by Christ, while Colonna wrote a "Lament over the Passion" which imagined the Virgin "delighting in this pain." Michelangelo's gift thus offered consoling testimony to their shared conviction that the savior's tragic death is also a cause for joy, the climax of God's divine comedy that offers each believing soul the hope of a happy ending.
In more individual terms, Michelangelo idealized Colonna as the kind of guardian angel Dante saw in Beatrice – a spiritual guide in their joint struggle toward paradise. "A man within a woman, or rather a god / speaks through her mouth," he wrote, addressing her as "you who pass souls / through fire and water on to days of joy." The drawing celebrates their closest bond: unlike most people "down there," they do think of the divine matters he has depicted for her. The Pietà is thus a study of Colonna, though not in any literal sense. Michelangelo disdained painting mere likenesses: since inner beauty counts more than outer, an allegory of the beloved's devout imagination reveals more than a record of her face. This is the portrait of a soul, not a body.
Colonna received the Pietà as one of three presentation drawings from Michelangelo. This was a new genre – completed sketches suitable as gifts. Michelangelo gave away such drawings only as testimonials of exceptional affection, and the Gardner image (and its recipient) must have been close to his heart, since he made sure his biographer Ascanio Condivi discussed it in detail. The Colonna group of drawings followed by a few years Michelangelo's other major suite, for his greatest male love, Tommaso de' Cavalieri. The two series embody the contrasting poles of Renaissance culture: Cavalieri's drawings, all on classical mythological themes, ponder the joys and pitfalls of earthly love, while Colonna's are on Christian subjects concerned with heavenly affections. Michelangelo's infatuation with Tommaso was expressed in poems whose erotic frankness was startling for the time; his later verses to Vittoria still speak of Petrarchan longing. Condivi records Michelangelo saying that he created her Crucifixion drawing "for love of that lady," but Condivi then makes clear that it was her "sublime spirit he was in love with." The aging artist's personal evolution reflected the widespread sobering of Catholic culture during the Counter-Reformation: where images once kindled passion, they now aimed to arouse chaste meditation.
The drawing enjoyed a widespread and influential afterlife. It was copied by Michelangelo's assistants and adapted by artists such as Lavinia Fontana. The opportunity to fashion a symbolic pedigree no doubt appealed to Mrs. Gardner, who chose many treasures for their personal associations and conceived Fenway Court as an extended self-portrait. The grieving mother theme would have resonated for a woman who lost her only son as a baby. And she shared Michelangelo's affinity for Dante, whose printed editions she collected; her affinity for Michelangelo himself is attested by her purchase of a painting then considered a portrait of him (actually Baccio Bandinelli). Most suggestively, she identified with cultured and powerful Renaissance women, adopting Isabella d'Este, the first great woman art impresario, as a patron saint and role model. She may well have felt a similar kinship with Vittoria Colonna: beyond shared artistic interests, both were childless women who raised orphaned nephews as surrogate sons, and Isabella was, like Vittoria, piously observant, with her own private chapel. We could equally conclude of Mrs. Gardner's Pietà what her biographer said of the acquisition of another Renaissance Madonna: "In it her love of beauty and her devotion to religion were united."

Atypical ductal hyperplasia (ADH) is an abnormal production of
cells within the duct system of the breast. Women who have atypical ductal
hyperplasia have an increased risk of breast cancer.
Atypical ductal hyperplasia is usually discovered by mammography
and diagnosed with a biopsy of the breast. Women who have ADH are usually
followed closely by a doctor and have a breast exam every 6 months
and a mammogram once a year.

Distance services, Funding Information Center, Request forms, Turnitin, Other library services...
Raynor Memorial Libraries offers more than 1.8 million volumes, hundreds of research databases, computer access, laptops on loan, a multimedia collection, group study spaces, 24-hour access and library staff members who help researchers from around the world.
Campus accounts - ITS Help Desk - (414) 288-7799
Library accounts - Information Desk - (414) 288-7556
Beginning January 18, 2011, NSF grant proposals must include a supplementary document of no more than two pages titled, "Data Management Plan." Details for this NSF policy are available here.
Other funders, including NIH, have also begun to require data management plans for grant proposals.
For more information on the context of this new NSF requirement, see the very comprehensive "Unpacking the NSF Requirement" from the Association for Research Libraries (ARL).
Raynor Memorial Libraries have put together a set of resources to help you understand, plan for, and implement data management plans for your research.
Data management plans should describe how research results and data created in the course of grant-funded research will be managed, disseminated, and shared. The data management plan is required (your proposal will not be reviewed if a plan is not included, or you do not make a clear case for why a plan is not necessary) and, like the rest of your proposal, is subject to peer-review.
In addition to the general requirements for data management plans set forth by NSF, some directorates and offices also include their own specific requirements.
Since the NSF's announcement, many libraries and data centers have drafted guides to help researchers write and implement their data management plan. The Libraries have put together an annotated "guide to the guides" in an effort to help you locate the most relevant advice for your own research needs. This list will be continually updated.
While ICPSR is a social science organization, the data management framework they have developed is valuable across disciplines. The framework describes what ICPSR has determined to be the key elements of a good data management plan, the relative importance of each element, and the rationale for including this information in your plan, along with examples.
The Data Conservancy, an initiative based at Johns Hopkins University and aimed at developing "data curation infrastructure for cross disciplinary discovery of observational data".
An important step toward making your data useful both to you and other researchers is to develop a framework for documenting and describing your data and the context in which it was created. The Pennsylvania State University Libraries suggest that data documentation might include the following:
(From "Data Management Planning at Penn State Libraries: Documenting Data")
Metadata is the data used to describe your data. This makes it easier to store and locate your data, and makes it much easier for future researchers to use your data. A number of metadata schemas exist to help you organize and structure your data description. Metadata schemas can be viewed at the JISC Digital Media website.
The Libraries at MIT have put together a guide to the most basic elements to document, regardless of discipline. These include Title, Creator, Identifier, Subject, Funders, Rights, Access information, Language, Dates, Location, Methodology, Data processing, Sources, List of file names, File Formats, File structure, Variable list, Code lists, Versions, and Checksums. For more detail, see the MIT Libraries' guide to metadata for data management.
For a more comprehensive overview of metadata in general: NISO distinguishes between three types of metadata: descriptive, structural and administrative. Descriptive metadata is the information used to search and locate an object such as title, author, subjects, keywords, publisher; structural metadata gives a description of how the components of the object are organized; and administrative metadata refers to the technical information including file type. Two sub-types of administrative metadata are rights management metadata and preservation metadata.
Source: NISO. Understanding Metadata. NISO Press. ISBN 1-880124-62-9. Accessed: 6 March 2011.
The methodology you choose for managing your data will vary depending on the collection method, nature of the data, and the types of analyses to be applied. Some more common methods for managing data are databases, spreadsheets, data management tools, and standard file systems. The lists below summarize the benefits of each approach and provide links to further resources on the Web.
For more information on the basic organization of your data files, see the MIT Libraries Guide to "Organizing Files"
Where data is stored and backed up may depend on funding considerations, collection processes, the need for encryption or increased security, and available resources. Data storage locations may include one or all of the following options: an internal or external hard drive on a personal computer, a departmental or university server, an institutional repository such as e-Publications@Marquette, or cloud storage such as Amazon S3. Subject archives and data repositories, such as Genbank, may also be an option, depending on your discipline, the nature of your data, funding guidelines, and other issues. See the "Sharing Data" tab for more information on external data repositories.
Know the implications of working with confidential, sensitive, or proprietary data. Restrictions upon the ownership or sharing of student, patient, or other personal data may be governed by federal HIPPA, or FERPA guidelines. Marquette's Office of Research Compliance can help researchers working with sensitive data.
Statements on Data Sharing | Considerations on Data Sharing | How to Share Data | Data Repositories
NSF guidelines require grantees to detail how they will disseminate and share their research results: "Investigators are expected to share with other researchers, at no more than incremental cost and within a reasonable time, the primary data, samples, physical collections and other supporting materials created or gathered in the course of work under NSF grants." NSF Award and Administration Guide, Chapter VI.D.4
Why is sharing data important?
Data sharing is essential for expedited translation of research results into knowledge, products and procedures to improve human health
From NIH Data Sharing Policy, 2003
Some data may not be shared, based on policies from funding agencies or other relevant bodies. One example is the HIPPA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) Privacy Rule, which protects all "individually identifiable health information" derived from health care records and requires specification of data handling responsibilities. Marquette's Office of Research Compliance can help researchers working with sensitive data.
Some issues you may want to consider:
Consider the following options:
The Distributed Data Curation Center (D2C2) at Purdue University Libraries has put together Databib a listing of data repositories. These are repositories where researchers may be able to deposit and share their research data. The list is both browse-able and searchable.

Blah, blah, blah, blah, LeBron James, blah, blah, blah, LeBron, blah, blah, blah, Kovalchuk, blah, blah.
Tonight, thank God, the LeBron speculation stops, and then the LeBron fallout begins. It'll be a news story with its own legs for weeks to come, months or years if he lands in New York.
Don't know when, or if, the Kovalchuk stuff will ever end. Helene Elliott at the L.A. Times is reporting today that the Kings have closed the door, and that this time they may have locked it behind them, as Kovalchuk continues to demand $10M per season. I don't think he's getting that, at least not in North America.
Blah, blah, blah.
I read the fabulous piece in Sports Illustrated last week, about the tragedy, the disaster, in the Gulf of Mexico. This is really what we should be discussing. It's been pushed to the back of the news by alcoholic celebrities and, of course, LeBron, blah, blah.
And I am certainly not making light of the situation down there.
But here's a little well-deserved mockery of BP. It cracked me up, in a dark way.

AN arts centre is seeking performers to help entertain crowds at a festival.
The Civic Arts Centre, in Union Road, Oswaldtwistle, is looking for both practiced actors, and absolute beginners, to perform during the Weather or Not festival.
A group of writers at the centre have written new poems and sketches to be used in workshops on the day. The centre now needs actors to perform in them.
The festival will take place over the Easter fortnight, but the performers will be taking part in sketches during the umbrella parade on Saturday, March 30. The festival will take place at various locations around Oswaldtwistle.
Centre director Gayle Knight said: "We are looking for experienced and 'never done anything like this before' actors and actresses.
"Age is no barrier either, although we are not looking for young people on this project which is why rehearsals will be during the day."
The next rehearsal is on Monday, February 25, at 10.30am. Just turn up at the centre. For more details, ring 07767 383435.

You must complete a Tax Declaration for Cigarettes.
Fill-in version (pdf)
Blank version
The Department of Revenue and Liquor and Cannabis Board work together to educate consumers of their tax liability and to collect the taxes due.
The Department uses information obtained from cigarette sellers to notify Washington buyers of their tax liability.
The Jenkins Act is a federal law enacted in 1949 that requires sellers of cigarettes to provide information on each sale to states where goods are shipped. Under this act, companies that ship cigarettes to buyers in Washington State must send the Department of Revenue the name, address, and quantity purchased for every cigarette buyer in this state.
Cigarette tax collections are used to fund the state general fund.

Information for Players
Hi, and welcome to the Santa Monica AYSO Region 20 web site.
Here we'll tell you a few things that you might want to know about playing soccer in our region.
How Old do I Have to be to Play?
If you can read this and you're not older than 19 as of December 31st of next year or a four year old reading prodigy, then you can play.
Will I Have Fun?
AYSO is all about the fun of learning and playing soccer. It is not just about winning. If you show up to practices and get to the games on time in your uniform, then you are guaranteed to play at least half of every game. In reality, almost everyone gets to play 3/4 of each game and many kids get to play the whole game. Sometimes if it's hot and you get tired that can even be too much!
Will I get to Play with my Friends?
Yes. Your team will probably have some of your schoolmates or other kids you know on it. Even if you don't know anyone on your team, you will quickly get to know a whole bunch of new friends!
How Much Time does AYSO Take?
Playing AYSO fall season soccer means that you'll usually have to come to practice once a week and play one game on Saturday. Every week. (High school kids may have 2 practices & 2 games each week.) From late August to December. Can you do that? Or are you also playing volleyball; going away for a couple of weeks; or are going to be very busy with school? Do you really want to play or are your parents pushing you? Make sure that you set time aside to go to all the practices and the games. You don't want to let your friends down by not showing up! And besides, soccer should be fun, not something that stresses you out because you don't have enough time.
Can I Play AYSO and Still Play on my High School Team?
Yes. The AYSO season is carefully designed so that the upper divisions are finished before the winter high school soccer season starts. Due to CIF high school rules, you cannot play for AYSO (or a club team) at the same time that you are playing for a high school team. If you are a young freshman who would normally be placed in 14U and you definitely want to try out for your High School JV or Varsity team, you will need to play up in 16U instead. Please contact our registrar if this is your situation.
How do I Sign Up?
You'll have to get your parents to register you. If they want to know how, take them to the registration page.
What Equipment will I need?
We will give you your game uniform consisting of shorts, jersey, and socks. You'll need to wear this to every game. You'll need to provide the rest of your equipment including shoes, shin guards, and a ball. Your shoes should be soccer cleats or turf shoes (not baseball cleats!). You need to bring your shoes, shin guards, your ball, and water to every practice! Don't wear your uniform to practice, it's for games only. You can wear last year's uniform to practice if you want though.
Will I get a Medal?
Yes! Everyone who participates during the whole season will get a medal. You may get more medals, trophies, or pins if you also play in tournaments.
Player's Code
- Play for the fun of it, not just to please your parents or coaches.
- Play by the Rules.
- Never argue with or complain about the referee calls or decisions.
- Control your temper and most of all, resist the temptation to retaliate when you feel you have been wronged.
- Concentrate on playing soccer and on affecting the outcome of the game with your best effort. Work equally hard for your team as for yourself.
- Be a good sport by cheering all the good plays, whether it is your team's or your opponent's.
- Treat all players as you would like to be treated.
- Remember that the goals of the game are to have fun, improve skills and feel good. Don't be a showoff or a ball hog.
- Cooperate with your coaches, teammates, opponents and the referees.
I have more Questions!
We're sure you do! Your coach will try to answer these for you during the season. If you think there should be more answers on this page, please tell the webmaster (firstname.lastname@example.com) so we can do a better job of explaining things.

PHILADELPHIA – Preparation for the Philadelphia Invitational is in full swing for the University of Pennsylvania men and women fencing teams, as one of the biggest college fencing weekends approach. Penn will host the two-day invitational this weekend in The Coach Dave Micahnik Fencing Center. The men are set to fence at 9 a.m. on Saturday, whereas the women will fence on Sunday starting at 8:30 a.m.
Along with practice, several fencers competed at the North American Cup at Virginia Beach this past weekend to prepare for the invitational. Scoring national points towards the U.S. Senior World Cup/Olympic Teams was junior quad-captain Sarah Parmacek. Parmacek, who took the best place for a Penn fencer that day, placed 8th out of 120 entrants in women's Foil.
In addition, a second woman fencer for Penn earned points towards the senior teams but in women's Epee -- freshman Alejandra Trumble, who took 15th out of 132 entrants. Trumble also scored points for the Junior World Cup Team in women's Epee, placing 10th out of 120 entrants.
Penn saw three men score national points towards the U.S. Senior World Cup/Olympic Teams: junior Jason Chang, sophomore Ayyub Ibrahim, and senior Joe Isaac. Chang placed 13th out of 173 entrants in men's Foil, whereas Ibrahim and Isaac competed out of 255 entrants in men's Epee, placing 19th and 22nd, respectively.
This weekend's competition brings some familiar faces as well as new ones, as the Quakers will see teams such as Duke, UNC, Lafayette, and Johns Hopkins. A full schedule with all the teams contending can be found in the attached pdf.

SAINT LEO, Fla. – The Saint Leo softball duo of Tiffinee Harvey and Elysha Agen were tabbed All-Sunshine State Conference First Team members, while sophomore catcher Brittany Yates received All-SSC Second Team honors, it was announced Friday morning by SSC Commissioner Jay Jones.
Each of the three is making their first appearance on the All-SSC squad. Harvey, a Lakeland, Fla. native and an All-SSC first team outfielder, had a history–making year for SLU. She concluded the 2010 season leading the Lions in most offensive categories, including a .383 batting average in 53 contests played. She posted a team-highs in hits with 64 and runs scored with 40. She ranked second in the SSC in home runs with 11 and total bases with 123. She drove in 32 runs and had 21 walks. She also led the team in both slugging and on-base percentage at .737 and .452, respectively.
Her biggest accomplishment of the season, however, was her knack for hitting doubles. One year after setting the Saint Leo single-season doubles record with 21, the senior one-upped that mark by stroking 22 in 2010. She concluded the year first in the SSC and 13th in the country in that category, and now stands fourth all-time at Saint Leo in total doubles.
Agen, a multiple-time Saint Leo Athlete of the Week award winner, was also selected a first team member at the utility position. A junior, she enjoyed a fantastic year from the leadoff spot where she started all 53 games. She amassed a .345 batting average with 61 hits and 31 runs scored.
