It's not often that a Yale team gets the chance to measure itself against the No. 1 team in the country, but that's exactly what the women's hockey team will do Friday afternoon at Ingalls Rink. The Bulldogs host No. 1 Mercyhurst in a special 3:00 p.m.matinee, then wrap up the non-conference portion of their schedule by hosting Niagara Saturday (2:00 p.m.). Both games can be heard live and free of charge on WYBC 1340 AM.
Mercyhurst holds an 8-0-1 advantage over Yale in the series between the two teams, with the lone tie coming Jan. 4, 2004 (1-1). The Lakers have won the last four, including a sweep last season at the Mercyhurst Ice Center (6-2 and 4-3). The second game was not decided until 1:10 remained, when Stephanie Jones netted the game-winner for the Lakers. Sophomore forward Crysti Howser scored two goals for Yale, including the game-tying goal with 2:49 remaining. Senior forward Christina Sharun also scored.
The Lakers are the seventh ranked opponent Yale has faced this year, though none of the others were No.1. The Bulldogs have one win in those seven games, knocking off No. 8 UConn 3-0 as part of Yale's Nutmeg Classic championship run. Prior to Friday's game with Mercyhurst, the highest ranking for a Yale opponent this year was No. 6. Dartmouth was in that position when the Big Green beat Yale 4-3 Nov. 17, and St. Lawrence was No. 6 when the Saints beat Yale 7-2 Jan. 12.
Niagara has a 5-1-1 lead in the all-time series with Yale. The Bulldogs picked up a 9-1 win the last time these two teams met (Nov. 26, 2005 in a neutral-site game in Providence, R.I.). Deena Caplette '06 had four points (2-2-4), while Sharun had three (2-1-3).
If recent history is any indication the Bulldogs will rely heavily on the line of Howser, senior forward Jenna Spring and senior forward Sheila Zingler for scoring this weekend. Those three have 48 points in the last nine games and have accounted for 19 of Yale's 35 goals in that span. Zingler has a 10-game scoring streak going, and she and Howser each have 10 points in the last four games.
Yale is also starting to see increased scoring from its freshman defensive pair of Alyssa Clarke and Berit Johnson. Those two have 12 points in the last nine games after totaling two in the first 12 games.
The Bulldogs will likely need to play a very disciplined game against Mercyhurst, because the Lakers' power play is seventh in the country (22.9 percent). The only team to beat Mercyhurst this season, St. Lawrence (3-2 last November), did so by pulling off the remarkable feat of not allowing the Lakers a single power-play opportunity all game. The lone Saints penalty was matched by a Mercyhurst penalty that left both teams skating 4-on-4.
Niagara is 2-2-3 against ECAC teams so far this season, with wins over Colgate and Cornell.
Broadcast Info:
- Both games will be broadcast live and free of charge on WYBC 1340 AM and www.wybc.com. Alex Jenson '09 will call the action.

MORRIS – Grundy County Board Vice Chairman David Welter couldn't communicate with his father much while growing up in Wisconsin. It left a big void in his life.
But that hole was filled when he was matched with a mentor from the Big Brothers Big Sisters organization. Big Brothers Big Sisters is a United Way funded organization.
"My big brother helped me work things out when I was a kid, so I wanted to give back," Welter said.
Welter decided to become a "Big" himself. He signed up for the Lunch Buddies program with the Big Brothers Big Sisters of Will and Grundy Counties organization nearly three years ago and hasn't regretted it.
The organization paired Welter with 10-year-old Noah of Morris, and the two developed a deep relationship as Welter visited Noah during his lunch break, playing tag, riding the slide and climbing the jungle gym during Noah's recess.
That relationship has made such an impact on Noah and Welter that Welter is being recognized as the 2014 Big Brother of the Year.
While Welter reinforces lessons on how to be a good individual to Noah, Noah has changed Welter, too.
"He reminds me of myself when I was his age," Welter said. "It's not hard to take a day out of the week to have an impact on his life."
Chief Executive Officer Lisa Morel Las said the organization needs more big brothers and sisters like Welter to fill the demand for children in the program.
"We're struggling to get males to be Bigs for the boys," Las said. "Some of these kids have been on the waiting list for a long time."
Grundy County currently needs to match five boys and two girls with mentors. Will County needs to match 60 children, 57 of them boys. Kankakee needs five male Bigs while Cook County needs one.
The organization is an area franchise of the national outfit, Big Brothers Big Sisters, that aims to help at-risk children succeed by forming a bond between them and adult mentors early.
It welcomes children, or "Littles," between the ages of six and 12 who could develop behavioral problems because of problems with parents or a unique home environment, to enroll and be matched with qualified, vetted adult mentors.
The match is intended to be a bond that strengthens as the child gets older, and provides the child with a unique role model.
"We get the kids at that point in the child's life, that fork in the road where they go on a good or bad path," Las said, explaining how a relationship with a mentor is intended to help bring balance to what can be a chaotic life for a child.
The mentors, or "Bigs," are volunteers ages 18 and older who are vetted through tight, layered background checks, including federal, criminal, state and county reports with personal reference checks and one on one interviews.
"Some of the best Bigs are the busiest people that have activities, events and involve their littles in them," Las said. "Activities can involve routine things as simple as raking leaves, fixing your car. It's whatever you can engage them in."
Las is hoping the organization's "Purple Carpet" event Jan. 16 will help convince more people to donate to the program and become mentors.
The program will honor the Bigs of the program at its Joliet building, 417 Taylor St., with January being National Mentoring Month.
Welter will be introduced as the organization's 2014 Big Brother of the Year. Kathleen Sliter, a Joliet resident who also participates in the Lunch Buddies program, also will be honored as the 2014 Big Sister of the Year.
"It's a day we celebrate the bigs as the celebrities they are for their littles," Las said.

The countdown to an annual end-of-summer favorite in Lewiston is now underway
The 56th edition of the Niagara County Peach Festival, presented by the Kiwanis Club of Lewiston, opens Friday evening, Sept. 6, and continues Saturday and Sunday, Sept. 7 and 8, at Academy Park in the Village of Lewiston.
As one can likely guess, club planning for an event of this scale has been very involved over the past several months, and in coming the days activity onsite at Academy Park will be intense. North American Midway Entertainment will be arriving and setting up shop with a host of thrilling rides for all ages; food, games and vendor booths galore are going up; stage entertainment is being finalized and fun aplenty is envisioned by Lewiston Kiwanis organizers for the thousands of visitors expected. "All we need now is some really good weather," said Kiwanis President Jeff Sanderson to the membership Wednesday evening at Academy Park.
Kiwanian Randy Gorzka, 2013 chairman of the Lewiston Kiwanis Peach Festival, estimates attendance for the three-day festival will exceed that of previous years. According to Lewiston Police, the festival is rated as one the most successful family-oriented events that takes place each summer in the village.
And with good reason - it's good, clean fun.
Peach Festival Advisory Chairman Jerald Wolfgang commented that the Village of Lewiston and Town of Lewiston officials all have cooperated with the Lewiston Kiwanis to again provide a safe and pleasurable festival at Academy Park. It is always dedicated to the Niagara County farmers and their great produce and this year will again feature exceptional locally grown peaches - 6-1/2 tons of them - from Singer Farms in Appleton.
And peaches of all sizes will be ripe for sampling on Friday, Sept. 6, through Sunday, Sept. 8. A farmer's market will be selling peaches and other produce each day and will also feature peach pies.
The festival kicks off with a grand opening on Sept. 6 at 5 p.m. Festivalgoers can expect the largest midway in Niagara County, with more than 40 North American Midway rides combined with game booths for the lucky and many food choices for the hungry, making the Peach Festival and ideal stop on the weekend. The featured ride this year will be the Ring of Fire.
Activities run on Friday from 5 to 11 p.m. and continue on Saturday and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. each day at Academy Park.
And getting there this year is expected to be the most convenient yet for visitors, Sanderson reports. He notes that Kiwanis organizers, in partnership with Artpark and the assistance of six local sponsors, will be providing free shuttle parking for festival visitors throughout the event. No more of those endless searches for a parking spot in the village and lengthy hikes to Academy. This year no-cost shuttle parking will be available in the two upper parking areas at Artpark off the Portage Road entrance, with two comfortable, air-conditioned Grey Line buses provided to visitors all three days. "It's a nice way to avoid the frustration," commented Sanderson. "This makes it easier for visitors to get in and out, and it will be available start to finish.
"Our climate-controlled Gray Line shuttles will whisk you to the festival grounds' entrance, just steps from all of the fun and excitement. When it is time to leave, the free shuttle will pick you up at the same spot and get you quickly back to your car and on the way home."
And what can visitors expect at this year's event?
Well, where do you want to start?
•Friday night will feature the 19th annual cheerleading contest, sponsored by DiMino's Tops Market in Lewiston. Area community cheerleading groups and youth football cheerleading squads will perform cheers before judges on the stage starting at 5 p.m.
Participants are still being sought. For more information, contact Wolfgang at 754-7745.
•Finals of the annual Kiwanis peach dessert recipe contest take place on Friday at 6 p.m. in the peach tent. The judges, following a tasting of the 10 sample dessert dishes, will award prizes. A $200 gift card will be presented to the winner and all 10 finalists will receive prizes. Tim Hortons coffee and cappuccino may be purchased on the field during the three days of the festival.
•The festival will again offer the Upstate New York Transplant Services Blood Drive on Friday, Sept. 6, from 3 to 6 p.m. The blood drive will be held on the Portage Road side of Academy Park.
•Saturday events get underway at 9 a.m. with the 5k Fun Run. The course runs through the Village of Lewiston. Fun Run Chairman Tom Baia stated, "The Fun Run and 1 mile walk will have one of its largest fields." It will start and finish in front of Key Bank on Center Street. Proceeds from the Fun Run will benefit the Divine Mercy Food Pantry of Niagara and UNICEF - Project Eliminate. Up to 250 participants are expected.
•The annual Peach Festival Parade will start at 11 a.m. on Saturday on Fourth Street and continue up Center Street to Academy Park. The parade is expected to feature more than 100 units, including marching bands, majorettes, floats, fire companies, cheerleaders, football teams, color guards, precision drill teams, assorted politicians, Peach Queen contestants and the reigning Peach Queen, Peach Fuzz and Peach Blossom.
•And the fun continues at Academy, with rides, foods, games, and activities galore.
Among the Saturday on stage offerings, look for the First Niagara Peach Fuzz contest at 2 p.m., the Peach Queen contestants semifinals fashion show at 6 p.m., and the always enjoyable "Tribute to the King," starring Terry Buchwald as Elvis, at 8 p.m. Interspaced between will be entertainment by 23 Skidoo, Christina Custode and the Lewiston Choraleers.
•On Sunday, the Neptune Water Skiers will perform on the Niagara River at the Lewiston Landing site at 11 a.m.
•Academy Park opens at 11 a.m. for daylong fun and this year, the Sunday Dance Company Showcase will be held on stage from noon to 3 p.m. on Sunday. Area dance companies will perform on stage every 15 minutes with eight dance companies signed up. And Sevenson Environmental Services is sponsoring the Peach Blossom contest on stage at 3 p.m.
Additional Sunday entertainment will feature The Bob Volkman Band and the ladies of the McCarthy School of Irish Dance on the Academy stage.
•Contestants will vie for the coveted crown of Peach Queen on Sunday evening at 8 p.m. Chairwomen Kris Trunzo and Jeanette Collesano estimate that the largest crowds appear for the finals. The Kiwanis annual media award will also be presented on Sunday evening.
The festival's most popular food, peach shortcake - featuring Singer Farm's peaches atop DiCamillo Bakery shortcakes with tasty cream - will be available Friday through Sunday. Peach Tent Chairman Gary Rose advises visitors to get their shortcake early because the Kiwanis sell out every year.
Profits from the Lewiston Kiwanis Peach Festival are put right back into the community. "For the past 10 years, $500,000 in goods and services have been contributed to over 50 organizations throughout Niagara county," Gorzka proudly announced. Since 1958, the Lewiston Kiwanis Club has donated more than $1 million to area organizations.
Sanderson suggests everyone who plans on attending come early and enjoy the festival grounds in the Village of Lewiston. The Peach Festival closes on Sunday, Sept. 8, at 10 p.m.

Google Enters IM Market with Google Talk
Following closely on the heels of its Monday release of Google Desktop 2, Internet search giant Google, which is quickly becoming a leading online media company, today launched the Google Talk IM service. Based on the Jabber, IM standard Google Talk can communicate with users of Jabber, iChat, and Trillian, and Google says it will soon open up the tool to users of MSN Messenger, Yahoo Messenger, and AOL Instant Messenger (AIM).
Google Talk is open to the public and is free without ads and requires a Gmail user account. Users without a Gmail account will receive one when they sign up for Google Talk, the company says, provided they don't mind giving Google their cell phone number to prevent people from squatting on valuable email addresses.
Compared with other IM solutions, Google Talk is lean both graphically and feature wise. Although the system offers text and voice chatting and a clean uncluttered interface it doesn't offer any video features and can't be used as a telephony solution. However, Google's products are perpetually in beta and are often upgraded quickly. The company says that its rapid fire update policy and adherence to Internet standards will set Google Talk apart from the competition.
"Communications is very important for the transmission of information," Georges Harik, the director of product management at Google said. "This is a natural extension of what we're doing in communications."
Google is entering a crowded market. Today, the IM market is dominated by AOL with 41.6 million active users, Yahoo with 19.1 million users, and MSN Messenger with 14.2 million users. However, Google's recent moves suggest that the company isn't particularly afraid of fighting for established turf. Google's recently released Google Desktop 2 includes a feature called Sidebar that closely resembles the UI work Microsoft is planning for Windows Vista Sidebar includes extensible panes that can deliver. Really Simple Syndication (RSS) feeds email news clips photos and other information. And its free Gmail email system, which offers 2GB and more of storage space for free, is poised to steal market share from Microsoft's Hotmail and Yahoo Mail now that it's being made more widely available. Meanwhile, Google is also squaring off against Microsoft and Yahoo in Internet Search and related technologies.
In related news, Microsoft this week released MSN Messenger 7.5 the latest version of its consumer oriented IM client. MSN Messenger 7.5 adds full screen video conferencing, high quality voice communications, and other features. Like Google Talk MSN Messenger 7.5 is free.
Intel Outlines Plans for Next Generation Processors
As expected, microprocessor giant Intel yesterday revealed sweeping changes to its entire product line. The company will port the core technology from its Pentium M mobile chips to its desktop and server products over the next 2 years. The change means that Intel will concentrate less on increasingly meaningless gigahertz ratings and more on multicore chips that feature better power management and energy saving functionality in addition to raw performance.
"We need to think about measuring performance against a new metric and that is performance per watt," Intel CEO Paul Otellini said during a keynote address at the company's annual Intel Developer Forum (IDF). Otellini said that Intel is now targeting a meager 5 watts of power consumption for mobile chips 65 watts for desktop chips and 80 watts for server chips. "By comparison, today's desktop microprocessors consume 80 watts to 120 watts of power," he said.
To meet these specifications, Intel is revamping every microprocessor product it makes. Although the company didn't divulge any new branding for these chips, it did reveal a few details about the products it expects to ship over the next few years. A next generation Pentium M chip for mobile computers, code named Yohan, will be the first microprocessor in the new wave. Due in early 2006, Yohan will feature dual processor cores and 64-bit capabilities and will double the performance of today's Pentium M chips. A future generation Pentium M chip is code named Merom and will offer even better power savings and performance.
In the second half of 2006 Intel will begin shipping a successor to the Pentium 4 and Pentium D chips which are designed for desktop computers. The chip, code named Conroe, will feature dual cores and 64-bit capabilities but will consume far less power than today's desktop chips. Similar upgrades to the Xeon line, code named Woodcrest, are expected in late 2006 as well. Otellini didn't mention the Itanium but the company earlier revealed plans to migrate that line of processors to dual core designs by the end of 2005.
On the low end Intel is also working on a super low power version of its existing Pentium 4 design that will consume just one half watt of power and be used to power a new type of handheld computer Otellini referred to as a hand top. "This system will be powerful enough to run Windows Vista and will ship before 2010," he said. "By 2007 Intel will begin switching its chips over to four core designs, once again doubling the processing capacity per chip."

Department of Theatre and Dance presents "Taiko Drum and Dance"University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa

Posted: Jan 15, 2013
The University of Hawai'i at Mānoa's Department of Theatre and Dance is proud to present "Taiko Drum and Dance," the first mainstage production of Kennedy Theatre's Spring 2013 season. This performance will feature modern and traditional dance choreographed by UHM faculty members, in performance with taiko artist Kenny Endo and the Kenny Endo Taiko Ensemble. All music for the concert will be performed live.
This interdisciplinary, multicultural music and dance concert will come to the Kennedy Theatre's mainstage Feb. 8, 9, 15, and 16 at 8 p.m., and Feb. 17 at 2 p.m. Audiences will also have the opportunity to attend pre-show chats at 7:00 p.m. on Feb. 9 and 16; and students with a validated Spring 2013 UHM photo ID will be able to take advantage of the theatre's buy-one-get-one-free program on Friday, Feb. 8.
Kenny Endo is an artist at the vanguard of taiko drumming, melding historical and contemporary Japanese performance. He received an MA in Music from the University of Hawai'i, and studied with the ground-breaking Kinnara Taiko group in San Francisco. He also spent a decade studying with masters of Japanese classical, festival, and group drumming, and is the first non–Japanese national to be honored with a natori (stage name) in Japanese classical drumming. Utilizing traditional instruments in innovative combinations, Endo blends Japanese rhythms with music from around the world. In addition to his full performance schedule, Endo is also a recording artist and artistic director of Taiko Center of the Pacific.
Several dances will receive their world premières at the concert. Two of these, "Empty Sky" by Kara Miller and "Jugoya" ("Crystal Clear Moon") by Gregg Lizenbery and Amy Schiffner, have been choreographed to music composed by Kenny Endo. "Araumi" ("Stormy Sea"), choreographed by Betsy Fisher, will be performed to music composed by Kirstin Pauka, who is both a member of the Kenny Endo Taiko Ensemble and a professor of Asian Theatre at UHM. "This is incredibly exciting for me," said Pauka, "because both of my worlds are coming together in this performance."
Other pieces are direct collaborations between dancers and musicians. Betsy Fisher developed the choreography for "Yamamba de Koolau" ("Wandering Mountain Spirit") with composer Chizuko Endo. The idea was inspired by a classical Japanese noh play, but Endo conceived and developed the piece during long drives over O'ahu's Koolau mountain range. In the piece, the beating of the katsugi (a small, rope-tuned drum) represents worldy and natural forces. Peggy Gaither Adams and Kenny Endo will present a new work, "Midnight Moon," which requires dancers to learn to play uchiwa daiko (fan drums), traditionally used in a wide range of activities from kabuki theatre to worship by Nichiren Buddhist monks. Members of the Endo ensemble – who often feature athletic movement in their performances – will be dancing as well as drumming in the piece, further emphasizing the collaboration between musicians and dancers.
Several pieces are inspired by traditional dance. "Sosen" ("Ancestors") is a bharatanatyam (classical South Indian dance) with taiko accompaniment that was created by the Ensemble and UH alumna Sonja Sironenl; current UHM graduate student Rohini Acharya reconstructed the piece and directed rehearsals for this performance. Traditional hula choreographed by Vicki Holt Takamine, featuring percussion and dance, will open the concert. The concert will also feature "Tatsumaki" (Whirlwind"), an instrumental piece composed by Hiroshi Tanaka and performed by the Kenny Endo Taiko Ensemble.
"Threads of Aspiration," a music and dance finale that celebrates the collaborative spirit of the concert, features a new composition by Derek Nakamoto. Nakamoto was born and raised in Honolulu, and currently lives in Los Angeles; he has recorded, arranged, and produced music for Yoko Fujimoto, Michael Bolton, The O'Jays, Teddy Pendergrast, and Hiroshima, among others.
Peggy Gaither Adams, the concert's director, praises all the artists for their collaborative spirit, and promises a performance that will appeal to fans of both traditional and contemporary dance and music: "We will provide our audience with bold, innovative movement coupled with big, beautiful sound. And the audience will experience an evening of the sophisticated skills and stamina of the Kenny Endo Taiko Ensemble."
Partial funding for this production has been provided by the Hawai'i State Foundation on Culture and the Arts, the Mayor's Office of Culture and the Arts, the Taiko Arts Center, the University of Hawai'i Japan Studies endowment, the UH Center for South Asian Studies, the UHM Music department, and the University of Hawai'i Diversity and Equity Initiative.
Tickets for "Taiko Drum and Dance" are available online at etickethawaii.com, by phone at (808) 944-2697, at participating outlets, and at the Kennedy Theatre box office; the box office is open from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Monday through Friday, with extended hours on performance dates.

WELLESLEY, Mass. – The Brandeis University fencing team had one of its most successful performances at the NCAA Northeast Regional Qualifier today at Wellesley College. The Judges had three fencers in position to earn automatic bids and one up for an at-large position when the qualifiers for the 2014 NCAA National Collegiate Championships are announced on Tuesday. The NCAA championships will be held at the Ohio State University in Columbus, Ohio, March 20-23.
Leading the way for the Judges was sophomore Caroline Mattos (Cumberland, R.I./La Salle Acad.). Mattos had one of the best finishes ever for the Judges at the regional championships, placing fourth overall, just one touch short of a bronze medal. Seeded 12th headed into the event, Mattos went 5-1 in her opening pool, outtouching her opponents 28-8 to advance to the round of 21 in the sixth spot. She went 3-3 in the second round, including a win over Harvard silver medalist Alex Kiefer, earning the 11th of 12 spots in the finals due to a plus-one touch differential, or indicator (22-21). Though Kiefer got her revenge in the finals, Mattos went 7-4 with a plus-10 indicator (44-34), to finish in fourth place behind Columbia's Jessica Laffey by just one touch. Mattos, who defeated Laffey head-to-head, 5-3, in the final round, also defeated opponents from St. John's, Cornell, Yale and Brown in the last 12. Mattos, who finished seventh in the region in 2013, is in line for her second-straight NCAA championship berth. She tied with an MIT sabre fencer for highest finish by a Division III woman today.
"Caroline showed a high level of consistency and composure in placing fourth overall," said head coach Bill Shipman. "She started slowly in the final but finished strong and without fatigue. She has fenced well and consistently all season and continued today."
On the men's side, Brandeis has a chance to bring three fencers to nationals. Leading the way will be junior sabre fencer Adam Mandel (White Plains, N.Y./Masters School). Mandel, who finished 10th in the Northeast and 12th at NCAAs to earn All-America status a year ago, turned in a fifth-place finish in the region this year. Mandel entered the regional championship seeded eighth overall. He won his first pool – which included the top overall seed Geoffrey Loss of Columbia – with a 5-1 record and plus-14 indicator (29-15), good for seventh overall. Mandel went 5-1 again in the second round, with a plus-11 differential (28-17). Both of his defeats in the opening pools came at the hands of Loss. Ranked fourth in the final group of 11 behind two fencers from Columbia and one from St. John's, Mandel went 7-4 in the last round with a 0 indicator (42-42). He topped two of Loss's Columbia teammates, two Harvard fencers, silver medalist Ferenc Valkai of St. John's and Andrew Kelly of rival NYU. As with Mattos, Mandel tied with the bronze medalist with seven wins and defeated Harvard's Alexander Rykij head-to-head, 5-4, but finished behind Rykij (+14) and Loss (+9) on indicator. Mandel was the second-highest Division III male today in the Northeast, behind an MIT epeeist who was the silver medalist.
"Adam cemented a strong season," said coach Shipman. "He advanced easily through the rounds to the final and beat some of the best fencers in the US to place fifth. He kept his focus and composure until the last bout or two. He has the skill to finish well at nationals and has proven he can compete well with the best."
Mandel also defeated teammate and classmate Jess Ochs-Willard (Montclair, N.J./Montclair) in the finals. Ochs-Willard, the tournament's 15th seed, made his way to the finals and wound up 12th overall. He was 4-2 in the opening round with a plus-12 differential (27-15), taking the 10th spot in the round of 21. Ochs-Willard went 4-2 again in the second round, this time with a plus-7 indicator (25-18), tying for the seventh spot into the finals with Kelly. He also took down Valkai in the round of 21. Though he struggled in the finals, winning just two of his final 11 bouts – over Duncan O'Brian of Harvard and Yale's Hugh O'Cinneide – the 12th-place finish was enough to get Ochs-Willard at-large consideration as the No. 10 fencer, as both Harvard and Columbia had three fencers in the finals with only two allowed to travel to nationals.
"Jess fenced his best of the season in the first two rounds to make into the finals fairly easily," Shipman said.
Brandeis's final automatic berth at NCAAs is expected to go to junior Noah Berman (Palo Alto, Calif./Palo Alto). Berman was seeded 11th heading into the regionals, and he lived up to that seed with an 11th-place finish. He fell behind that seed after his first round of fencing, going 4-2 with wins over opponents from three Ivy League programs as well as MIT, but his plus-four indicator (23-19) put him in 14th place. In the round of 21, he edged his way into the finals by three touches with a 3-3 record and minus-one indicator (21-22). His wins were over teammate Len Grazian (Barrington, Ill./Barrington), Harrison Bergman of Columbia and James Broughton of Yale. Though he won just two of 11 bouts in the finals – over Lucas Lin of Harvard and Alberto Linaldi of Hunter – Berman's 11-place finish should earn him the ninth automatic spot in the Northeast, as Harvard sent four fencers to the finals. This would be Berman's first appearance at nationals.
"Noah has been a stalwart on our strong foil squad and deserves this accomplishment," Shipman said. "He gave a great effort and reached his goal."
The Judges' top finishers in other weapons were Ari Feingersch (Coral Springs, Fla./J.P. Tavarella) , who placed 13th in men's epee as the 20th seed and missed the finals by just one touch; Sonya Glickman (Valhalla, N.Y./Valhalla) who was 21st in women's epee as the 23rd seed, coming out of the preliminary round with a 4-0 record, and going 3-3 in the first round to reach the round of 21, where she was unable to add another win; and rookie Nina Sayles (Mamaroneck, N.Y./Loomis Chaffee) who was 26th in women's sabre, matching her seed after going 3-1 in prelims and 2-4 in the first round.

Author George Singleton thinks a good sense of humor is important in life, and he hopes that's something his students at Wofford College will learn from him when he begins teaching fiction writing this fall as the new holder of the John C. Cobb Endowed Chair in the Humanities.
Author George Singleton thinks a good sense of humor is important in life, and he hopes that's something his students at Wofford College will learn from him when he begins teaching fiction writing this fall as the new holder of the John C. Cobb Endowed Chair in the Humanities.
Singleton is a Southern author who has written several collections of short stories and three novels. His latest title, "Stray Decorum," his fifth book of short stories, was published in September.
"In what they read and write, I want students to understand that it's good to have a big heart and an open mind, and fiction teaches that more than nonfiction," Singleton says of what he wants to bring to the classroom. "And, I hope they have fun."
Singleton comes to Wofford from the S.C. Governor's School for the Arts and Humanities in Greenville, where he has taught fiction writing and editing for 13 years. He has been a visiting writer at the University of South Carolina, the University of North Carolina Wilmington and other colleges, and has taught at Francis Marion College and the Fine Arts Center in Greenville, a magnet school.
"I love teaching high school (at the Governor's School), but I'm looking forward to college-age students in writing and English, many of whom will be taking more 'concrete' courses and go on to be lawyers or doctors," he says. "I'll be trying to teach them that in dealing with patients or clients, they will be more able to communicate with what they learn in English classes, reading novels and short stories. They will be more well-rounded people and have better relationships."
David S. Wood, senior vice president for academic affairs and dean of the college, says, "We are delighted to have such a noted writer in George Singleton joining us as our new Cobb Chair for the Humanities, replacing Betsy Cox, who is retiring at the end of the academic year. Betsy and her husband, Mike Curtis, have held the chair jointly and have been wonderful. We are grateful that Mike will continue with us, assuming the role of professor of English.
"George is a distinguished writer whose record of achievement is well-noted," Wood said, "but what may be less well known is that he is an equally outstanding classroom teacher. We know our students and the entire community will benefit from having him among us."
Deno Trakas, chairman of the Department of English and the Hoy Professor of Literature, writes, "We're excited to have George join us for many reasons. He's one of the best short-story writers in the country (read any of his five collections); he's one of the best teachers of fiction in the country (talk to any of his prize-winning students); he's one of the most disciplined writers in the country (he doesn't just say he writes every day, he actually writes every day); he's funny (read anything he's written); he loves dogs and has taken in so many strays that he had to write a book about them; and he's looking forward to moving to Spartanburg, where he's going to make a lot of new friends."
Singleton says he jumped at the chance to teach at Wofford.
"I was easily sold on the opportunity to teach a fiction workshop, and teaching undergraduates, I will have more leeway here and it will be more exciting for me," he says.
Singleton wants his students to treat him as an equal.
"I tend to be sarcastic, and I expect them to be sarcastic back at me. I'm not going to try to hurt their feelings, but I will be honest and truthful in my critiques. They have to be a little bit tough to take criticism. It's all for their best."
He hopes some of them make a breakthrough in writing.
"I want to see them do well. It's tough being a writer. You have to make a 10-year bet with yourself. Now that self-publishing is more prominent, it's easier. Becoming a good writer is like treasure hunting, though. I'll be as excited for them as I am when I have good fortune. It's a team; everybody wins."
To be successful writers, he says, one must "keep trying to write better, to write the perfect story. It's like being an athlete — at the end of the year, you're better if you've been running every day for that year. Maybe it's cold or you have sprained muscles, but you keep running.
"With writing, you keep writing, and you're better after a year. If you just run, or write, one day and didn't do it every day, after a year you're no better; you're probably worse."
Singleton, a native of Anaheim, Calif., grew up in Greenwood and is a 1980 graduate of Furman University. He holds a Master of Fine Arts from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro. In 2009, he was a Guggenheim Fellow, and in 2011 he was awarded the Hillsdale Award for Fiction by the Fellowship of Southern Writers.
His other works include: "These People Are Us: Stories," "The Half-Mammals of Dixie," "Why Dogs Chase Cars: Tales of a Beleaguered Boyhood," "Novel," "Drowning in Gruel," "Work Shirts for Madmen," and "Pep Talks, Warnings, and Screeds: Indispensable Wisdom and Cautionary Advice for Writers."

hanne falkenberg, ballerinaWednesday, May 16, 2007
Please be aware: too many photos ahead. My hubby took his job as weekend photographer very seriously, and took many, many photos. I think he really enjoyed clicking away, and even gave me props!
So, I bring you my completed Hanne Falkenberg, ballerina swing jacket. This is actually the third ballerina that I have made. My first one can be seen here, the second one here. Obviously, you can tell that I love this sweater if I have made three and am considering making a fourth. Unlike many sweaters that I have knit in the past, that sit folded on my closet shelf, these get their wear! I wear them as my coat, and they look great dressed up as well.

This is so so beautiful.ReplyDelete
Absolutely spectacular! I love that first picture-- you definitely get a sense of the "swing" of the sweater. Lovely work!ReplyDelete
Wow. I am stunned at the workmanship and the sheer wearability of that sweater.ReplyDelete
And thanks, I am now drooling over Ballerina, Diva and Jazz. :P
It looks amazing! Definitely worth all the time you put into it. Thanks for introducing me to this designer, as well. I have a few more must-knit sweaters on my list now!ReplyDelete
Ok, you've officially put me over the edge... I'm now obsessed with knitting my own Hanne. I'm leaning towards a Mermaid or the Studio Long.ReplyDelete
I'm intrigued because Hanne's sweaters look really stunning and are quite simple. I love how she uses color. Very cool.
What do you think of the yarn? I haven't investigated too thoroughly (just mostly surfing with Baby on my shoulder) and still don't really know what the yarn is or how it feels.
it's so beautiful! Thanks for all the tips and info about this pattern. Your mum's so cute too!ReplyDelete
Oh. My. Gosh. I'm at a loss for words here - I'm totally stunned! This is definitely the most beautiful cardi that I've seen for ages - and the aweso,e photos that your hubby did of you wearing it make it even more special! You're an extremely talented knitter, and he's a fantastic photographer! Congratulations!ReplyDelete
OMG, again Leslie, that is too amazing, you are too cool! I love that pattern and I can not believe you are on your third one!ReplyDelete
GORGEOUS!!!! I LOVE LOVE sweaters.... almost all year long... I will wear sweaters and go barefoot... it's the BEST feeling!!!!!ReplyDelete
First, you are so very pretty!ReplyDelete
It turned out as lovely as your other two. I see why you would want another one. That's the way I get too. If I love a pattern or something I buy then I will buy it or knit it in other colors. I LOVE it with your jeans. I would have these on my list if I could knit this well.
holy moly! This is gorgeous.. .did you say this was your second!? Wow. I am in awe!! Tell your hubby nice photos too!ReplyDelete
So gorgeous, and on a size 3 needle no less?! You deserve a special commendation for that...so glad I found your blog!ReplyDelete
it goes without saying that these sweaters are so amazing...congrats on meeting the deadline! i love all these hanne designs...maybe your family can become models for her! i just love northern european sweater desginers, they are just so chic and wearable. i hope i can make one myself someday!ReplyDelete
This is a beautiful sweater! Great job!ReplyDelete
It looks amazing!! I am not quite ready yet - have to finish Vinnland socks and finish prge hostessing, but soon! I love the photos, how sweet of your husband!!ReplyDelete

Highlife Ski & Snowboard - Ski Holidays to Val d'Isere, Morzine and Meribel
It is 16 years since we first opened our doors and while lots of exciting developments have been introduced in that time, our founding principle to offer a refreshingly good experience has never changed.
We believe that there are several core ingredients to a terrific ski holiday - world-class ski resorts, great chalets, excellent service, delicious food & good wine, and unbeatable snowtime. Our award-winning programme has been developed with all of these ingredients in mind.
We regularly review every aspect of our ski holidays to guarantee you excellent value for money without compromising the standard of our service or the quality of your experience.
Prices listed against each chalet include swift transfers, great accommodation, breakfasts, 3-course evening meals with good wine, a complimentary bar of beer & wine and lots of invaluable extras such as in-resort shuttles to take you to the ski slopes each day. This all-inclusive approach means that you won't spend much money in resort - something that is unavoidable with other ski holidays.
All of our chalets can be booked on a room-by-room basis (which works well for smaller parties) or the whole chalet can be reserved by one group.
As a fully-bonded, licensed travel agent, we will also organise your flights from any point of departure to ensure that you enjoy flexibility as well as the lowest possible air fares. If you are travelling from Ireland or the UK, flights depart from Dublin, Belfast and all major UK cities.
For a detailed itinerary or to have your questions answered, please call +353 1 677 1100 or follow the Enquire Online link above and one of the team will get back to you.
We look forward to hearing from you and hope we will be able to help with your ski holiday plans as we know you would enjoy an excellent holiday in our care.

Bobbi Brown Creamy Matte Lip Color ($24, amazon.com; 12 shades). It scored top marks in our lab tests, and volunteers reported that it lasted 3.4 hours; six out of 10 said they would continue using it.
2. Runner-Up
Boots No7 Stay Perfect Lipstick ($10, amazon.com; 11 shades). Women found it lasted 3.1 hours — nearly as long as the winner. They were fans of its creamy texture, which left their lips feeling smooth ... at a bargain price.
How We Tested
We rounded up 10 longwear lipsticks. Then 10 women tested them all in our lab; 10 more tried out one or more at home. The biggest surprise: Not one lipstick lived up to its six-hour (or even longer) claim (the range: 2.6 to 3.9 hours).
- First, breakfast: After applying lipstick, volunteers took three bites of a bagel and three sips of a hot drink. Lab photos were taken to measure color retention before eating and drinking, immediately afterward, and six hours later (no reapplying allowed).
- Testers reported how long the lipsticks lasted and how they felt on their lips (creamy, dry, etc.).

Are My FSH and LH Scores Post Menopausal?
I am 51 and was tested for FSH (70.5) and LH (46.3) to determine if I am post-menopausal. Since I had an endometrial ablation when I was 44 for very heavy bleeding, I have not had periods. Fortunately, I had my two daughters at age 38 and 40, despite difficulties with infertility. Do my FSH and LH test scores indicate I am post-menopausal? Thanks in advance for your answer.
Levels can fluctuate a great deal, but these are probably menopausal. You should follow up with the physician who had them drawn for more specifics.

Hi, I'm a total newb and have a few questions I would be very grateful if I could have help finding answers to. If one of them has an answer in another post then I'm really sorry, please provide me a link. Also, there will probably be some stuff that doesn't make sense. Please tell me where.
This is a background, I am a home PC user, using a Pentium Laptop WinXP SP2. I only use the PC for browsing and downloading files from a news server. I currently have reached a "plateau" with my computer studies and want to increase security on my machine and further my knowledge about computer security. I am currently using Panda Platinum 2006 with intergrated firewall after using a few of the free scanners; AVG, TrendMicro that missed quite alot of problems I used to have. The security status of my PC is okay-ish ie. free of viruses, malware etc. (according to ewido, panda, hijack). I know there are still potential vulnerabilites and I want to know how to avoid them being exploited.
First Question: Is there a set of applications/methods that you can give me information on that will do the following and respond quickly that are free/GNU: Information on all inbound/outbound connections (IP adresses etc.) (can these adresses be masked/hidden?), all new processes starting and modification of files, and, crucially for me at this stage; what you think are the most important things to be monitoring to keep my computer secure and what are the default set of measures/applications that I need. Panda slows my machine so much!
Second: I have a friend who studys computer networking and I don't know if it's paranoia talking but I have a suspicion he has tried to/has accessed my computer remotely. I know he has communicated with me using simultanious msn nicks and repeatedly tried to send me files, posing to be a variety of different people. There has been an occasion recently when he came over, went "hey hey look at this" ("look it's superman!" kinda thing) and then did a run command then left my house suspiciously. I think it was "ipconfig". Although I don't think he would go as far as to do anything harmful I don't appreciate being some script kiddies crash test ya' know? I think I have a dynamic IP. Does this work in my favour or can it be predicted. I'd like to be able to match his skills or at least put up a reasonable defence against it and you guys are my liferaft. So there it is... Q3.
Third: What OS should I be using for maximum security and also as a tool for learning how to write code and take my computer studies further. I've never studied professionally although I'm starting a course next year and I want to have as much under my belt as possible before I start. It's a non-specific Access to Degree Level computing course. I'm almost certain this question has been covered before but to be case specific I thought I'd ask.
Fourth: I did find a method for viewing IP adresses using CMD. Thing is I don't really know which is which and what column means what if you know what I mean. How to tell which one is mine and what the changing numbers after each address mean? Someone with a high tolerance and calm disposition may want to answer that one lol.
Well that's the lot for now. Any replys will be greatly appreciated.
Thankyou very much,

Two weeks before the release of its first studio album in 16 years, Soundgarden announced a brief North American theater tour that will bring the Seattle grunge veterans to L.A.'s Fonda Theatre on Nov. 27. The band is also to play shows in Toronto and New York, the latter on Nov. 13, the same day it's due to release "King Animal."
Soundgarden broke up in 1997 while touring behind the previous year's "Down on the Upside." Its members reunited in 2010, playing concerts (including a headlining slot at Lollapalooza) and issuing a greatest-hits collection called "Telephantasm." Last year, the group continued the vault-clearing with a live disc recorded during a West Coast run in 1996.
"Live to Rise," a lukewarm new tune featured on this past spring's "Avengers" soundtrack, didn't bode especially well for "King Animal," which the band recorded with Pearl Jam producer Adam Kasper. But Pop & Hiss is happy to report that the album delivers on the knuckle-dragging promise Soundgarden displayed in an unannounced performance at KROQ's Weenie Roast y Fiesta in May. It's ultramega, OK?
Listen to the first single, "Been Away Too Long," below and check back in the coming weeks for a full profile of the band in Calendar.

The TLC2262 and TLC2264 are dual and quadruple operational amplifiers from Texas Instruments. Both devices exhibit rail-to-rail output performance for increased dynamic range in single- or split-supply applications. The TLC226x family offers a compromise between the micropower TLC225x and the ac performance of the TLC227x. It has low supply current for battery-powered applications, while still having adequate ac performance for applications that demand it. The noise performance has been dramatically improved over previous generations of CMOS amplifiers. Figure 1 depicts the low level of noise voltage for this CMOS amplifier, which has only 200 uA (typ) of supply current per amplifier.
The TLC226x, exhibiting high input impedance and low noise, are excellent for small-signal conditioning for high-impedance sources, such as piezoelectric transducers. Because of the micropower dissipation levels, these devices work well in hand-held monitoring and remote-sensing applications. In addition, the rail-to-rail output feature with single or split supplies makes this family a great choice when interfacing with analog-to-digital converters (ADCs). For precision applications, the TLC226xA family is available and has a maximum input offset voltage of 950 uV. This family is fully characterized at 5 V and ±5 V.
The TLC2262/4 also makes great upgrades to the TLC27M2/L4 or TS27M2/L4 in standard designs. They offer increased output dynamic range, lower noise voltage and lower input offset voltage. This enhanced feature set allows them to be used in a wider range of applications. For applications that require higher output drive and wider input voltage range, see the TLV2432 and TLV2442. If your design requires single amplifiers, please see the TLV2211/21/31 family. These devices are single rail-to-rail operational amplifiers in the SOT-23 package. Their small size and low power consumption, make them ideal for high density, battery-powered equipment.

Google to Microsoft: No HTML5, No YouTube App
Aug 16, 2013 4:57 PM PT
The war of the words between tech giants Microsoft and Google heated up considerably this week when Google blocked a relaunched YouTube app for Windows Phone, causing Microsoft to lash out and question the validity of Google's complaints.
"It seems to us that Google's reasons for blocking our app are manufactured so that we can't give our users the same experience Android and iPhone users are getting," wrote David Howard, Microsoft's corporate vice president and deputy general counsel for litigation and antitrust, in a blog post on Thursday.
"The roadblocks Google has set up are impossible to overcome, and they know it," Howard added.
'A Consistent Experience'
Prior to this week's re-release, Microsoft's YouTube app was also pulled by Google back in May. Among several requests Google made for the app's reappearance was that it use HTML5.
Microsoft, however, countered that it was unable to do that. Google now says the app violates its terms of service.
"We're committed to providing users and creators with a great and consistent YouTube experience across devices, and we've been working with Microsoft to build a fully featured YouTube for Windows Phone app, based on HTML5," Google spokesperson Matt McLemon told the E-Commerce Times.
"Unfortunately, Microsoft has not made the browser upgrades necessary to enable a fully featured YouTube experience, and has instead re-released a YouTube app that violates our terms of service," McLemon said.
Microsoft declined to provide further details.
'The Br'er Rabbit Fake'
This is far from the first salvo in the ongoing battle between the two tech titans. In this latest round, it is Windows Phone users who are left in the dark -- at least when it comes to watching YouTube videos on their handsets.
"This is 'turn and turn about' in Silicon Valley," said Roger Kay, principal analyst at Endpoint Technologies Associates. "Microsoft is famous for doing just that: making its app not quite work in someone else's - e.g., Apple's - environment.
"It's the well-known Br'er Rabbit Fake," Kay told the E-Commerce Times. "'Throw me anywhere, but not in that briar patch,' where the briar patch is the code."
'A Moving Target'
The problem with Microsoft's YouTube app is "something of a moving target," said Charles King, principal analyst at Pund-IT. "It was first removed from the Play store for supporting features including video downloading that Google disapproved of.
"After a revised version that disabled those features was submitted earlier this week, Google restored it to Play," King told the E-Commerce Times. "Then it removed it again due to the lack of support for HTML5."
What makes this latest move particularly interesting, however, is that Windows Phone has seen a surge in users in the past year, and the platform has even surpassed BlackBerry as the third most popular mobile OS.
In this regard, Google's move could be seen as an example of cutting one's nose to spite one's face.
"It's amazing how relationships change over time," telecommunications analyst Jeff Kagan told the E-Commerce Times. "Early on companies need each other and work together and get along well. Then, over time they start to compete more and more and everything changes."
Caught in the Crossfire
The biggest losers in such cases often aren't the companies involved, but their users.
"Users don't really care about the rotting relationships, they just want their device and software to work, period," Kagan added. "The battles are just for those who are at war."
Meanwhile, it remains to be seen which side will prevail.
"If I had to choose the weaker argument, I'd say look at which is making the most noise publicly about the issue -- Microsoft," King said. "The fact is that given the paltry market share of Windows Phone, the company needs YouTube access far more than Google needs Microsoft's phone customers."

Farmer loses phone, returned 8 months later
TULSA, Okla. (AP) — Oklahoma farmer Kevin Whitney thought his iPhone was lost for good when it fell into a grain elevator last year. Eight months later, his phone was returned unscathed after a trip to Japan.
Whitney, the manager of the Apache Farmers Co-Op in Chickasha, Oklahoma, lost his phone in October after it slipped out of his shirt pocket as he was unloading grain from a truck into a silo holding roughly 290,000 bushels of grain.
"I knew it was lost forever and there was no retrieving the thing," said Whitney, 53.
Whitney went out and bought a replacement phone the next day. But the loss of the phone was tough: Pictures of family photos from his daughter's wedding and vacation were stored on there.
What Whitney didn't know was that his phone was just beginning its journey.
The phone traveled to another Oklahoma grain facility before going down the Arkansas and Mississippi rivers to a depot in Convent, Louisiana. From there, the grain was loaded onto ships bound for another grain depot on the island of Hokkaido, Japan.
In late May, Whitney received a phone call from Eric Slater with the Zen-Noh Grain Corporation.
"Lo and behold, I get a call from a guy who works with this grain company in Convent, Louisiana, saying a guy at a feed mill in Japan found the phone," Whitney said.
Slater, manager for Zen-Noh's terminal in Convent, said he charged the phone and scrolled through to find Whitney's pictures and called him.
"I knew if that was my phone, I'd probably want it back," said Slater, who added it's not uncommon for cellphones to accidentally fall into grain shipments. "Frankly, I field about a phone a month."
Whitney was shocked the phone made it through such an ordeal in pristine condition.
"It's crazy because everyone's walking around with a cracked iPhone," he said.
After its global odyssey, the "old" phone came back in June, and is sitting in Whitney's desk drawer, safe at home.
Whitney said he's still shocked he got the phone back.
"It's amazing he didn't just throw it in a Dumpster or something, let alone send it back to somebody," Whitney said.

HERSHEY — Luke Karam tapped his gold medal, the second he has won at the PIAA wrestling championships, and called it his favorite.
Last year, Karam won the state title at 113 pounds in Class 2A. He grew up wanting to be his father's (and coach's) first state champ, but a few Bethlehem Catholic wrestlers beat him to it.
So Luke Karam was content with being Jeff Karam's first Class 3A state champ at Bethlehem Catholic.
"Why?" Luke asked. "Because he's my dad."
The Golden Hawks capped their first Class 3A season in nearly three decades with two state champs and a second-place finish at the PIAA wrestling championships. Senior Andrew Dunn punctuated...

Geneva Colleges Master′s of Education in Higher Education program will host the drive-in workshop Maximizing College Student Success on Tuesday, November 5, 2013. The event is intended for higher education professionals of all kinds, from those in student development to faculty members, and will run from 9:30 a.m. to 3p.m. in Skye Lounge of the Student Center.
The one-day seminar features author and Chair of the Department of Higher Education at Azusa Pacific University Dr. Laurie Schreiner. She will present topics that explore and evaluate issues in higher education that are crucial to college student success.
"Given the national conversation about college student success, we thought that it was a timely moment to resurrect the drive-in workshop and are delighted that Dr. Laurie Schreiner will be challenging participants to explore this critically important topic for all colleges and universities," said Dr. Dave Guthrie, Director of Geneva′s higher education program
Dr. Schreiner has 30 years of higher education experience as a psychology professor and associate academic dean. An award-winning teacher and researcher, her most recent publications include the edited book Thriving in Transitions: A Research-Based Approach to Student Success, an article on engaged learning in the Journal of Excellence in College Teaching, an article on student satisfaction and retention in the Journal of College Student Retention, and an article on the impact of faculty and staff on high-risk students for the Journal of College Student Development.
She is also the co-author of The Student Satisfaction Inventory, which is used on over 1,600 campuses, and of Helping Sophomores Succeed. Schreiner has written numerous publications on positive psychology, faculty development, strengths-based teaching and advising, and has consulted with over 100 colleges and universities on these issues.
"Several years back we launched the drive-in workshop idea for two reasons-first, as a means of partnering with colleagues from other institutions to consider relevant topics and ideas; and second, to generate good discussions on important issues for our colleagues at Geneva," explained Guthrie.
The total cost for the workshop-featuring plenary sessions with Dr. Schreiner, several one-hour seminar options, lunch and a book table-is $15.
The $15 fee may be paid online, submitted on the day of the workshop, or mailed to Geneva College, ATTN: MAHE/Drive-In Workshop, 3200 College Avenue, Beaver Falls, PA 15010.
Additional information and registration is available here.

Adhering to the inerrancy of Scripture, a Geneva education is grounded in God′s word as well as in a core curriculum designed to prepare students vocationally to think, write and communicate well in today′s world.

B0371 Engine Trouble Code
Meaning of B0371 engine trouble code is a kind of body trouble code and when your car's 'B0371 Check Engine' light comes on, it's usually accompanied by a sinking feeling in the pit of your stomach. The light could mean a costly problem, like a bad catalytic converter, or it could be something minor, like a loose gas cap. But in many cases, it means at minimum that you'll be visiting the car dealer to locate the malfunction and get the light turned off.
B0371 Fault Symptoms :
If one of these reasons for B0371 code is occuring now you should check B0371 repair processes.
Now don't ask yourself; What should you do with B0371 code ?
The solution is here :
B0371 Possible Solution:
The crankshaft sensor signals the fuel injection computer or the ignition control when the cylinders are firing. This causes the ignition coil to provide a spark and the injector to inject fuel into each cylinder at the right time.If either sensor isn't working correctly, the car will run rough and the engine will be less efficient. In later car models, the car's computer can usually keep the vehicle running, but the engine warning light on the dashboard goes on to warn the driver.
B0371 Code Meaning :
|OBD-II Diagnostic Body (B) Trouble Code For Engine
|Intake Valve Control Solenoid Circuit Low
|Throttle/Pedal Position Sensor/Switch A Circuit Intermittent
|Cylinder 10 Contribution/balance Fault
|Crankshaft Position Sensor A Circuit Low Input
Is the fuel pump sometimes not priming when you turn the key to ON(II)? Start by measuring the fuel pressure and checking whether you have bright white-bluish spark at all four plugs. The mechanical timing is also something that you should check, as we mentioned above.
B0371 OBD-II Diagnostic Body (B) Trouble Code DescriptionB0371 engine trouble code is about Crankshaft Position Sensor A Circuit Low Input.
Main reason For B0371 CodeThe reason of B0371 OBD-II Engine Trouble Code is Throttle/Pedal Position Sensor/Switch A Circuit Intermittent.

Sol 153 Update on Curiosity from USGS Scientist Ken Herkenhoff: Advance Planning10 January 2013
I was MAHLI/MARDI uplink lead again for Sol 153 planning, but there were no MAHLI or MARDI observations in the plan, so I focused instead on advance planning for Sol 154. Now that the duration of the daily tactical process has been reduced to 11 hours, part of the science team spends a couple hours each afternoon getting a head start on planning the next sol. This avoids having to start the tactical process much earlier in the morning every day. We are planning a lot of arm activities on Sol 154, including a bunch of MAHLI close-up images.

A large library of Alpine and mountaineering literature formed by the Edinburgh physiologist Professor Thomas Graham Brown (1882-1965) was received by the Library, through his bequest, in 1965. The collection consists of c. 20,000 items, comprising works on the history of Alpine climbing and exploration from the 16th to the 20th century, and books on climbing, travel and exploration in other parts of the world, including the Caucasus, the Andes and the Himalayas (a miscellaneous collection of nine volumes, belonging to Professor Graham Brown, was received in 1961 and is housed and shelf-marked separately from the main collection). There are also a number of works on Arctic exploration; mountaineering journals in runs of varying completeness with the contents listed in a card-index; over 250 volumes of press-cuttings; maps and extracts from periodicals; postcards and large numbers of photographs and lantern slides; and proofs of his major work Brenva. Manuscript material includes diaries for the period from 1898 to 1960, correspondence, climbing diary notebooks, and papers relating to Graham Brown?s period as editor of the Alpine Journal (1949-53), and his book, written with Sir Gavin de Beer, The First Ascent of Mont Blanc (1957). The collection includes c. 160 maps, predominantly Swiss, French and Italian maps of the 19th and the early 20th century, with the earliest being John Dury?s map of the Kingdom of Sardinia (1783). Professor Graham Brown left his estate in trust to enable additions to be made to the collection in the fields of mountaineering, and, building on the strengths of the Wordie bequest (see Wordie Collection), polar exploration. Books on all aspects of mountains and mountaineering in all languages are currently acquired, and material relating to the polar and sub-polar regions (especially in the field of discovery and exploration) is also purchased. Additions of both early and modern maps, atlases and panoramas are also regularly made to the collection. The acquisition of the Graham Brown and the Lloyd collections, has made the National Library a major centre for research in mountaineering and polar exploration. The strength of the existing collections continues to attract further substantial gifts including, in 1971, the Scottish Mountaineering Club?s deposit of their records and other documents, 1889-1959.
Mountaineering: Catalogue of the Graham Brown and Lloyd Collections, Edinburgh: National Library of Scotland, 1994 (catalogue contains printed books catalogued up to 30.6.1987, plus microfiche supplements covering acquisitions made up to the end of 1995).

Going through unit two which introduces the perfect, pluperfect and future perfect, as well as the subjunctive, I just wanted to stop for a second and make sure I got the ideas right in my mind:
Sum nauta. I am a sailor.
Ero nauta. I will be a sailor.
Eram nauta. I used to be a sailor.
Fui nauta. I was a sailor.
Fueram nauta. I had been a sailor.
Fuero nauta. I will have been a sailor [i.e. by next month].

The New York State Board for Historic Preservation has recommended the addition of the Geneva Downtown Historic District to the State and National Registers of Historic Places. It was among 33 properties, resources and districts that were recommended.
The registers are the official lists of buildings, structures, districts, landscapes, objects and sites significant in the history, architecture, archeology and culture of New York state and the nation. Being listed in the registers can assist property owners in revitalizing the structures by making them eligible for public preservation programs and services.
The Geneva Downtown Historic District was established in the late 19th and early 20th centuries along the current Seneca, Exchange and Castle streets.

Making it Work: Minty Green
I always think of mint green as a difficult color to pull off in a room — probably because I avoid it in clothes (skin too pale!). But actually a minty green is such a lovely, refreshing choice for an interior, evocative of serene, luxurious spaces like spas and beach houses. So what are some ways to make it work as a permanent fixture in your home?
Here are a few tips we gleaned from the inspiring spaces pictured above:
• For depth and contrast, pair mint green with similar but more saturated shades that lean more decisively in the green or blue direction. Love the combo of mint green with a grassy green (second and fifth photos above), and of course pairing mint with teal, as in the first photo, creates a lovely effect as well.
• To soften the preppy factor of mint green, choose warm neutrals like ivory and taupe and organic textures like hemp and rattan. Or…
• …alternately, you can pair mint with gray for a more tailored, classic approach. Mint and charcoal offers dramatic contrast, while mint and dove gray is a calm and subtle combo.
• Use bright, warm tones for contrasting accents: an orange vase here, a red lamp there, a pink upholstered chair.
In case you're not yet convinced, a bit of mint green inspiration from our archives:
Do you like mint green for interiors? How do you make it work in your own home?
