>about how they "did not advance the action of the play."
I am not guilty of such a generalization. Some topical allusions are thematic or otherwise contribute to the understanding of the play, at least in its historical context, such as the Chorus's reference in Henry V to Essex's Irish expedition. Others are mere inside jokes that add nothing to the play, although they might be interesting in themselves. I suppose the "little eyases" are in that category.

Business licenses filed with the Shelby County Clerk's Office in the third quarter rose nearly 5 percent over third quarter 2012, and increased even more compared to the second quarter this year, according to The Daily News Online, www.memphisdailynews.com.
The 1,505 business licenses filed with the Shelby County Clerk's office are a 4.9 percent increase from the 1,435 in the third quarter of 2012 and a 16.7 percent increase from the 1,290 in second quarter 2013.
Those figures include new licenses and renewals, and represent businesses within Shelby County, though the owners can be based anywhere.
For the first nine months of 2013, 4,210 licenses were filed with the county clerk's office.
From July to September, licenses range from renewals for established businesses, such as Café Ole in the Cooper-Young Historic District, to the smallest businesses just beginning, such as Two Brothers Affordable Lawn Services in the Rhodes College area.
The owners pay a $15 license fee for Shelby County and a $15 license fee for Memphis if they are also in the city.
The top three Shelby County ZIP codes for third-quarter business licenses were 38125 (Southeast Shelby County), with 90; 38134 (Bartlett), with 75; and 38128 (Raleigh), with 73.
The most active ZIP codes differ from quarter to quarter: In the second quarter, the top three were 38115 (Hickory Hill), 38118 (Oakhaven-Parkway Village) and 38116 (Whitehaven).
Among the new and renewed licenses, Unlimited Wireless TN LLC had four during the third quarter: three locations in Memphis and one in Bartlett. MetroPCS, which sells mobile devices, had third-quarter licenses for seven Memphis locations.
And Jackson-Hewitt Tax Services Inc. filed eight, an indication that tax season follows the holidays.
The Southeast Shelby County businesses reflected in the third-quarter new and renewed licenses include Honduras Drywall, Geaux Glam and Evolution Fitness LLC.
The area is not only growing with new businesses, it is also part of the shift of the county's school-age population from the west to the east.
In August, the first new school in the consolidated Shelby County Schools system opened its doors nearby, in Hickory Hill.
Belle Forest Community School is an elementary school built during the transition to the merger to ease overcrowding at Oak Forest, Germanshire, Newberry, Winridge and Hickory Ridge elementary schools. It is built to hold 1,200 students.
Schools, unlike school cafeterias, are exempt from having business licenses, though daycare centers must have business licenses.
The Raleigh ZIP code 38128 could see more business licenses as the city moves ahead with a revitalization of the Raleigh Springs Mall that now calls for moving the Memphis Police Department's traffic precinct onto the mall footprint. It had been slated for construction near, but not on, the mall property.
While Whitehaven's 38116 was not among the top three most active ZIPs in the third quarter, work continues on streetscape renovations along Elvis Presley Boulevard between Brooks Road and Shelby Drive, the retail heart of the community whose buying power has long been touted as underserved by existing retail in the area.
A $5 million renovation of the Whitehaven Kroger supermarket, 1212 E. Shelby Drive, was well underway during the third quarter, with the supermarket remaining open for business.
The licenses also reflected the brand change at what had been the Memphis Marriott convention center hotel at 250 N. Main St. Downtown.
Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide Inc. rebranded the hotel as a Sheraton as the property undergoes a renovation.
For some of those applying for business licenses, the license was a next step in their pursuits. Longtime FM 100 morning personality Ron Olson has been painting for some time, and in the third quarter, took out a business license for Ron Olson Art.

When someone is having trouble getting laid, they're in a slump. When you're in a slump, you need an easy score to get your confidence back up and break the slump - a slumpbuster. Often this means lowering your standards, and sleeping with someone you would never otherwise associate with. The term is obviously negative, and can even damage the reputation of someone who uses it; it implies that the "slumpbuster"'s only purpose is to screw someone who's desperate for sex, and also implies that the person invoking the term uses women for sex. Use with caution; it tends to make things worse for everyone involved.
"She was a slumpbuster."

A large, unatractive, girl, most commonly with low self esteem, incorperated in sex with one that is suffering from a slump. (see slump)
Mitch- "Dude when was the last time you got layed?"
Wess- "Yah it's been a while but don't worry, i got me a slump buster last night so i should be good."

Baseball players believe that by having sex with an unattractive female, they can end their slump. Therfore a slump buster is the unattractive female that they have sex with, in hopes of busting their slump.
Manny Ramirez told Pedro Martinez that the reason why he's been hitting so many homeruns lately, is because he hooked up with a lot of slump busters when he was in a slump.

When a professional athlete finds the dirtiest, nastiest, fattest, most disease-ridden skank and puts the wood to her with the intent that it will break up a slump.

Banging some fat ugly bitch because you CAN. You haven't had any in awhile so a slump buster is what you need to get some confidence back to higher class hizat's. Typically a slump buster is a grenade or a M.U.F.F.
It was Valentine's Day so Wes' negative game was working somehow, so he picked up a slump buster and then had a successful rest of the year with hizat's.

Julie Delpy is no a shrinking violet. She has many awesome opinions about how Hollywood treats women, which could be one of the reasons why, according to her, she has been fired by every agency in town.
But she really doesn't give a crap about being an actress anymore. She's sticking to directing, and now is on her second effort 2 Days in NY which is a follow-up on 2 Days in Paris.
Delpy came to our attention starring opposite Ethan Hawke is Before Sunrise (which they both also co-wrote but never got credit for) and then she made the unfortunate decision to star in the remake of An American Werewolf in Paris which was a big disaster, and then as quickly as she got that gig, the gigs dried up.
She says what's on her mind and because she is now a director and because she is French, and especially because she could care less, she gets away with it. She tells the Guardian reporter that she was fired by her agent on the same day he (I am assuming it is a he) told her that she should stop writing the sequel to Before Sunrise because it will be a "stupid movie no one is going to see" and that she should "do something useful like go to the gym." I would have punched him.
One part of the piece which I found interesting is the fact that when Ethan Hawke gets called to talk about her (they have remained close) he calls her "crazy." Here's how she describes it:
it's funny, I'm really not crazy. I wouldn't be directing movies – but I don't think I'm crazy in the sense that I can't function. He thinks I'm crazy because I'm a very intense person. When I write or do something, I don't do it half way. It means something to me. I don't let go easily. I don't give up easily. I'm very determined in a way that a lot of women might not be. Or men.
No you are not crazy. But this quote is really illustrative of how women are treated. They are either crazy or a bitch. A very determined male director or writer is talented…but a woman is crazy. We have got to stop labeling women with these terms. They stick and it becomes very simple for people to believe they are true and then poof a woman who is intense is seen as crazy. Try getting a directing gig when people think you are crazy. Not gonna happen.
She doesn't sound one bit of crazy to me. She just sounds like a director and writer who loves and believes in her work.
The film opens in the UK on Friday and in the US in August. Other release dates here.

Eileen KINNICK - 75 yrs ago - Week 6 - Feb 15-21, 1937
Eileen KINNICK
75 yrs ago
Week 6 - Feb 15-21, 1937
My mother, Eileen KINNICK (maiden name), kept a diary from 1932 until her death in 1999. In Feb 2005, I created a website of her 1936 diary, the year she graduated from high school. During the latter half of 2011, commented weekly on these entries.
For 1937, I am transcribing the daily entries, currently, at The KINNICK Project surname blog.
In this weekly blog post, I will make summary comments and observations, and perhaps add a photo, from time to time.
Setting: The family lived in a farmhouse a couple of miles out of town (Coon Rapids, Iowa). Older brother, Leo, lived at home; his girl friend, later wife, Ida, visited regularly. Younger brother, Buzzy (she often wrote Bussy) was 9 years old. Pete Smith is her 'boy friend' - fourth month starting Jan 1 (they do marry, in Mar 1938).
Week 7 (Feb 15-21): A week of change and transition. The visit of Eileen's friend, Ruth, from out-of-town, came to an end. Eileen learned that the Maytag store is being sold and she will be looking for work elsewhere.
A visit to great-grandma Williams at her home.
I do have a map of Union Twp in 1835 with the Kinnick farm marked on it, red circled 5 just northwest of Coon Rapids town proper.
Note from Coon Rapids Enterprise of February 5, 1937 [as reported in the 75 Years Ago column of the February 16, 2012 edition]: "Since the close of the third month of school, there have been four staff changes in the rural teaching staff of the county… Union No. 6. These schools are now being taught by … Ida Marie Bell of Coon Rapids." Important bit of (soon to be) family news.
Comments welcomed!
Families are Forever! ;-)

It's interesting that there were mid-year changes in the teaching staff. My grandmother's diary also noted a mid-year change in teachers. Perhaps changes were relatively common years ago--though it seems like it would have been difficult for the students.ReplyDelete
Yes, interesting. Just a few samples, but...ReplyDelete
Also, yours were men, in 1911; these eight (two each at four schools) were all women...
Thanks for the comment! ;-)

An arrest warrant was issued Friday in the Dominican Republic for Mets pitcher Ambiorix Burgos on charges stemming from a hit-and-run accident that killed two women.
"We recommend that Mr. Burgos turn himself in so we can start the judicial process," Prosecutor Raul Quiroz said.
Burgos' SUV struck Josefina Minaya Martinez, 38, and Angely Fana, 29, Tuesday in the town of Nagua, and both died at a hospital. Witnesses placed Burgos behind the wheel, but his cousin Edwin Silvestre Sanchez claimed to be driving. Sanchez was released from police custody Friday.
Quiroz said Burgos had recently been arrested on a charge of illegal weapon possession and released. Burgos was also arrested last month in New York on assault and harassment charges.

My questions is about the name of the surahs: who decided to name them and how it is happened?
Salam aleykum wa rahmatullahee wa barakatuhu,
First of all,May Allah reward you for your great work on about tajweed. My questions is about the name of the surahs: who decided to name them and how it is happened? Barakallahufeekum
Wa alaikum assalaam wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh,
Jazakum Allahu khairan for your kind dua', may Allah reward you and all the questioners greatly.
The names of the different surahs are not part of the revelation, and even some of the surahs have more than one accepted name.
For example: Surah Al-Faatihah is also called al-Mathaanee, Umm Al-Kitaab, al-Hamd, to name a few.
Surah At-Tawbah is also called surah Baraa'ah, Surah Ghaafir is also called Al-Mu'min. These are examples and there are others. Most of the surahs of the Qur'an have agreed upon names and these names were either names given by the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah upon him, or used by Sahaabah or those after them.
Any of the accepted names can be used, and in fact different printings of the Qur'an use different names for some of the surahs. Many times in the old literature written by early scholars, we can find the other accepted names being used.
Wa feekum Al-Barakah.
Wa assalaam alaikum wa rahmatlulah.

There have been countless lost seasons in this franchise's history, many of them gone before pitchers and catchers report in February. This is looking like another one of those years.
The Mets only did minor tweaking this winter and are no better now than they were when the season ended. They are putting their stock in the season in the hopes of Jason Bay and Carlos Beltran staying healthy, the continued development of Mike Pelfrey and some of their younger players, and encore seasons from RA Dickey and Angel Pagan.
In short, they are hoping everything breaks right, and even if it does, there are two holes in the rotation and a weak bullpen.
Still, the Mets are asking you to believe, with perhaps our biggest wish is for them to get rid of Oliver Perez before Opening Day.
As I look at the drifting snow and feel the cold, the warmth I usually feel this time of year because of spring training has slipped away like me on the ice this morning. Spring training is a time for optimism and hope, but this year realistic hope is around .500 at best. But, we knew this with the hiring of Sandy Alderson, who told us there would be no big spending this winter and he hoped the team would be competitive. That probably means a lot of close games before losing in the late innings.
Still, we follow the Mets because they are our team and are woven deep into our lives. We still love them like the gangly younger brother that embarrasses us. We are loyal to them because we know loyalty is about acceptance and we believe things will improve next year.
As we are distracted by football, we try to envision the snow gone, the grass green and lush and baseball occupying our spring nights. And, somewhere there is the hope this could be a fun summer regardless how it looks on paper now.

We continue our conversations with some of the esteemed women featured in our Top 10 Mom-Owned Restaurants in America with Suzette Gresham. Chef Gresham is an owner of Acquerello, opened in 1989 and regarded as one of the finest Italian restaurants in San Francisco and the nation. She has established herself as one of the Bay Area's most respected chefs and guided Acquerello to numerous accolades, including a 2013 Diners' Choice Award for Top 100 Best Overall Restaurant in America. She is a proud mom to two daughters, Bibiana, 22, and Azaria, 18.
Twenty-five years ago you opened Acquerello. In that time, you became a mother and have successfully raised your kids and your restaurant into adulthood, yet you don't dole out advice on this topic too often.
Passion makes up for a lot — lack of intelligence and lack of experience. If you are passionate about what you are doing, whether you are raising children or running a restaurant, you have a fighting chance. I think the main thing in life is just believing that you can do something and finding a way. Chefs are kind of like firemen and policemen. We rush right in. We do what we have to do, and we don't think about ourselves. It's that attitude of 'I can do it, I can fix it, and I can save it.' Maybe it is foolish on some level, but it is what you do and how you are as a person.
You didn't necessarily set out to become a mother. That wasn't on your must-do list, but you have two wonderful daughters.
No. I even went to a therapist when I found out I was having girls, and I said, "This is an error. This is a huge error. I can't have girls. I must have boys." He said, "Why?" I said, "I'm such a terrible role model for a girl. I'm working in a male-dominated field." He said, "You are the perfect role model for girl." It made me feel so much better. What he did was he gave me license. He gave me permission to just love my daughters the way that I want, the way that the world was, and the way that they were going to be in a less perfect state.
The one thing about chefs is we are forever seeking perfection, and we are our biggest and hardest critics. I had to learn: Don't be judgmental. Don't be so harsh. Let it go. That is one of the hardest things ever. Things will not be perfect. You will settle for a little bit less, but you will get further and probably do better in the long run. I know what maturity parenthood brings. Part of your soul opens up that isn't maybe sincerely as accessible without kids. They make you humble.
Chefs work odd hours compared to the rest of the world, yet you're able to be present when other parents are not. How did your daughters handle this, though, when they were little?
They realized later, but when they were younger, I had to sit down one Saturday when I was at my breaking point and explain. I said, "Do you realize what I do? Do you realize that I was chairman of the book fair? Do you realize that I am at your Girl Scout troop meetings? Do you realize I bake the cakes for your bake sales? Do you realize I bring all of the products whenever you have an event and you need food? Do you realize that I e-mail and talk to all of these parents and I'm involved in all of your educational aspects hands on? The only thing I can't do is show up at six o'clock in the evening for a PTA meeting because I'm at work."
In the early years of Acquerello, working moms were certainly common, but I would venture to guess your daughters were probably the only kids at school whose mom was a chef/restaurant owner.
Yes, they were the only ones, and there was not a lot of support in some respects. Some people understood, and some were very disapproving, quite honestly.
It was interesting, yeah, because I was outside the home in the evening when my children needed me, and that's the way they thought.
Right, it's like you're in a circus or something. Continue Reading

One of those newcomers near the top of the list for Bisons' coach Charles Morrow will be Nick DeSalvatore, a forward from Brentwood High School in Brentwood, Tenn. DeSalvatore was a team captain for Brentwood High this season.
As a junior he led Brentwood High with 20 goals and earned Tennessee Soccer Coaches and Tennessee Sports Writers Association First Team All-State honors. He was the second leading scorer on the team as a freshman with 16 goals and as a sophomore.
DeSalvatore, 5-foot-11, 170 pounds is known for his speed on the field. According to at least one report, his color choice of the shoes he will wear in games during the season has been of major concern to his teammates and friends.
In 2008 Brentwood High was the State Champion and also the National Champion.
The Bruins finished second in the state in 2009.
DeSalvatore was an All-Mid-State selection in 2007, 2008 and 2009. He was also an All-District pick in 2008 and 2009. He was selected as a "Future Star" in 2004 by the Brentwood Soccer Club.

Veteran TV director Paris Barclay has been elected president of the Directors Guild of America, becoming the first-ever African American to head the union.
Barclay, whose directing credits include "Sons of Anarchy," "Glee," "NCIS: Los Angeles" and "NYPD Blue," has served four terms on the national board as first vice president and has co-chaired the guild's Diversity Committee since 2004.
"I am profoundly honored to be elected president of the DGA," Barclay said to delegates at a union convention in Los Angeles on Saturday. "The DGA has worked for more than three-quarters of a century to advance the creative and economic rights of directors and their teams, and I look forward to continuing this strong tradition of service. As the son of a glass blower and a tile maker from Chicago, I am extremely humbled to have the honor to serve in the footsteps of the legendary leaders of the DGA like Frank Capra, Robert Wise and Gil Cates."
Barclay ran unopposed and was elected by acclamation at the guild's national biennial convention at the union's headquarters in Los Angeles.
"Paris' qualifications for DGA president are exceptional," said past President Michael Apted when placing Barclay's name in nomination. "His understanding of the issues facing directors and their teams is outstanding and his ability to resolve problems and create solutions is beyond compare."
Director Steven Soderbergh, in seconding the nomination, said: "This is a great moment for our guild. Paris will be a phenomenal leader as we move into the future."
Barclay has received 10 DGA Award nominations for outstanding direction in comedy and drama television. He has also won two Emmy Awards for his direction of "NYPD Blue" and received four additional Emmy nominations for producing and directing.
In an interview, Barclay said his election reflected the guild's commitment to diversity. "It's not surprising that more and more of our members are of different colors and different genders,'' he said. "The more important question is,why aren't the studios and the networks doing a better job as far as hiring talented women and minorities?"
Additionally, 147 delegates representing more than 15,000 members of the DGA elected a new slate of officers and members of the National Board of Directors.
The following officers were elected to serve alongside Barclay: Vincent Misiano was elected national vice president; Michael Apted, a past DGA president, was reelected secretary-treasurer.
Also elected were First Vice President Betty Thomas; Second Vice President Gary Donatelli; Third Vice President Thomas Schlamme; Fourth Vice President Jace Alexander; Fifth Vice President Jon Favreau; Sixth Vice President John LiBretto; and Assistant Secretary-Treasurer Scott Berger.
Barclay succeeds Taylor Hackford, director of "An Officer and a Gentleman," "Dolores Claiborne" and "Against All Odds," who served two terms as president.
One of his principal tasks will be helping to negotiate a new film and television contract for the DGA, whose contract with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers expires June 30, 2014.
The union typically begins its negotiations well in advance of the contract expiration and often sets the bargaining pattern for other Hollywood unions.

Saturday, July 12, was another typical light wind day in Alameda. I almost had a mishap with a group of kiters riding the 12 meter red and white Naish Sigma walking along the beach. Dudes, again I apologize, my kite dropped in front of you guys on my way in when the wind died, I did not mean to do that.
Anyway, as I was packing up, I noticed another group of kiters flying their kites on land.
The dude was clueless. He was riding a 7 meter Caution spitfire, crashing, relaunching, powering up with kids and their parents a couple of feet away from the downed and powered up kites. No wetsuit, no helmet, he has a harness, but he was flying unhooked.
I rushed to his assistant and ask him if they knew what they were doing, guy could not answer me, said he does not know how to speak english. So I rushed towards him asking him if he knew what he was doing.
He gave me this bad ass attitude telling me off. So I got pissed and gave him a mouthful of words, he was lucky that he was flying his kite, I almost grabbed his bar and wringed it around his neck. This is a first, a clueless beginner I'm trying to help, cops out an attitude telling me off.
I still tried to reason with him, explaining to him that he can injure the kids playing around him, especially his son whose head was less than a foot away from his powered up lines. I warned him not to launch his kite any more and go up the shack and take lessons. He can go ahead and hurt his kid with his flying kite lines, he can just sue himself later. I just don't want him injuring the other kids at this point.
I think I got him rattled enough where he decided to take a break. I walked away before things could escalate and I start punching him.
Max later spoke with the group and explained to them why we are enforcing kiting etiquette. Hopefully he understands and play safer on the beach. Max told me that he was going to apologize to me, but he just walked past me while he was packing, not saying anything.
So, watch for this group in Alameda:
Asian dudes, don't know their ethnic background (i.e. don't know if they are Vietnamese, Chinese, Filipino, etc..). I would guess Chinese or Vietnamese. They drive a van with a blue ocean kayak rigged up on the roof, probably 11 to 12 feet long. They ride a quiver of old Caution Spitfire kites, probably just recently got it from craigslist or ebay.

See Pictures of Harry Styles' New Haunted Mansion!
Harry Styles of One Direction has been a cougar hunter for a while, but is he a ghost hunter, too? The 'Live While We're Young' singer's pricey new pad is rumored to host a ghost. Yikes!
Hazza dropped a cool $4.8 million on a new mansion in London, and it comes with a slew of perks. Not only is he closer to his pals, but he also has plenty of space for entertaining. And that appears to be the point, as his friends are already calling his new place "Harry's Party Palace."
The manse has four bedrooms, three bathrooms, three living rooms and an awesome yard, complete with sweet landscaping and Ibiza-style lounge beds. (Ow ow!) That's not all, though -- Harry also has an elevator for his cars. Do you think former roomie Louis Tomlinson will be bummed without his company? (On the bright side, that's more alone time for Louis and Eleanor!)
However, despite Styles' real estate looking pretty pimped out, it may also come with a supernatural guest. The Sun reports that highway man Dick Turpin's ghost lurks the property. The thug's gang frequented a bar behind Styles' property back in the 1700s, and legend has it that Turpin's face can be seen in some of the windows and that his horse Black Bess' hooves can be heard outside.
Maybe that's why Harry is still keeping his flat across the city -- there are no rumors of anything going bump in the night there. Well, anything supernatural, that is!

The former boys swim coach at Staples High School in Westport pleaded not guilty Tuesday to sexually assaulting two young Fairfield girls repeatedly over a three-year period.
"Not guilty, jury trial," Jeffrey Schare, a Fairfield resident, answered when asked by state Superior Court Judge Robert Devlin Jr. how he pleaded to two counts of first-degree sexual assault, two counts of risk of injury to a minor and one count each of third-degree sexual assault, fourth-degree sexual assault and attempted third-degree sexual assault.
Schare, 43, coach of the Wreckers boys swimming and diving team for seven years, ignored a reporter's request for a comment as he and his lawyer, Christian Young, left the courtroom.
Behind him in the Bridgeport courtroom Tuesday sat a large contingent of the girls' family, all wearing pale blue ribbons on their lapels.
The judge continued the case to Feb. 8.
Students and staff at Staples High School, where Schare also taught math, were told late last year he was leaving the school, but no reason was given.
Police said both girls, now 12 and 8 years old, are acquainted with Schare and attend school in Fairfield. The older girl complained about the assaults to a counselor at her school.
Schare began "grooming" the two girls when they were much younger, "promising favors such as food and sleepovers as rewards for his deviant behavior," according to the arrest warrant affidavit.
The affidavit states he began touching the girls inappropriately, which empowered him to advance his actions: "A behavior he readily admitted to his wife, was a lust for younger girls, an urge that he could no longer control."
Police said the older girl tried to fight off Schare many times.

For the victorious girls lacrosse team at Springside Chestnut Hill Academy, the first name of the high scorer in Thursday's non-league game was Kitty, and Katz was the last name of the most prolific player for visiting Shipley School.
Senior Sophie Katz pumped in six goals for the Gators, but Shipley only got two goals from its other players, and Kitty Morrissey's five goals paced a better-balanced attack for the host Blue Devils, who won 13-8.
Both athletes are headed to Duke University; Morrissey has accepted an athletic scholarship there, while Katz is contemplating playing club lacrosse at the North Carolina school.
SCH received two goals apiece from senior Taylor Wrubel and freshman Mikaela Watson as its record leveled out at 3-3 overall. There were single goals by junior Winter Chernak, sophomore Carlin Rode, and freshmen Megan McCool and Natalie Schwartz, while freshman goalie Elsa Rall made eight saves.
"We put in different line-ups, trying a lot of people out, and they supported each other well as a team," said head coach Allison Thomas.
Shipley, a young team that is regrouping, fell to 0-4 on the season. The Gators had not yet started in on their Friends Schools League schedule, but SCH, on the other hand, had played its third Girls Inter-Ac game two days earlier, falling to longtime league power Episcopal Academy by a score of 14-8.
The previous week, Springside Chestnut Hill defeated Agnes Irwin, 14-12, and Episcopal beat the Irwin Owls, 10-7. With similar margins of victory over a common opponent in back-to-back games, one might have expected a close contest between the Devils and the EA, but it didn't turn out that way. The Churchwomen cruised after amassing a 10-2 halftime lead, and SCH's Thomas felt that her charges didn't start to show their true capabilities until very late in the game.
"The girls just seem to be very timid when they hear the name Episcopal," said the first-year coach. "I told them this year Episcopal is definitely beatable by us; we have the tools to do it. We had a long talk after the game and I asked them what they want from this season, if they want to be better than they have been. If they do they need to play 100 percent in every single game."
A few weeks before last Thursday's SCH/Shipley game, the same Agnes Irwin squad that the Blue Devils defeated had blasted the Gators, 16-1. However, Springside Chestnut Hill did not find it quite so easy to dominate the Bryn Mawr ballclub.
Morrissey matched the opening goal by Shipley's Katz, then an entry pass by Sinéad Brierley found Wrubel just outside the crease and she hit the upper right corner. Katz fired an equalizer to make it 2-2 with 17 minutes left in the first period, then SCH took the lead for good as Morrissey, Watson, and Chernak fueled a 3-0 run for the hosts.
Katz, who accounted for the Gators' first five goals in the match, took an assist from Carlie Ladda to complete a natural hat trick and close up the score to 5-3, but four different players tallied for the Blue Devils after that as they assumed a 9-3 halftime lead.
Shipley never seriously challenged for the lead after the intermission, but did outpoint the home team 5-4 in the second period. SCH had one goal called back due to an offsides violation, and sophomore Francesca Fabiani hit the goal posts with strong shots once in each half.
The Blue Devils still demonstrated some shortcomings in their ability to control the tempo of a game in which they have the lead, and they never really managed to shut down the Gators' one serious scoring threat, Katz.
"We were supposed to have a player always marking her and then double her when she drove," Thomas explained, "but when we got ahead comfortably we kind of got distracted and didn't stick to the plan. We still need to be more disciplined in possessing the ball, and our midfield marking was inconsistent."
The Blue Devils certainly appear to have the athletic ability and the basic skills to improve on last year's 4-8 Inter-Ac record, but in order to do that they will have to reduce their lapses in focus and intensity.

Wings and TWRby Michael Warren • March 21, 2008 Share:
Wabash alumni in Northwest Indiana gathered for the first of what we hope will be many social/networking meetings on Wednesday (March 19) evening at Wings, Etc. in Valparaiso. The alumni in attendance had fun discussing their current lives, what is happening on campus, as well as remembering their time at Wabash. Those times recalled through what were most likely slightly exaggerated stories of course.
Thanks to Ben Cunningham '07 for leading the effort in organizing the gathering. If you missed it, you have another opportunity as another "social hour" has been planned for Tuesday, March 25 at Bridges Scoreboard in Griffith (6:30 PM). Contact J.R. Ford '02 at firstname.lastname@example.com for details.

Tulsa, Okla. (October 10, 2008) - ETSU men's tennis senior Enrique Olivares (Puerto Ordaz, Venezuela) continued his red-hot play at the D'Novo/ITA All-American Championships in Tulsa, Okla., Friday, defeating Florida State's Clint Bowles, 7-6 (5), 2-5, 6-3.
With the win Olivares advances to Saturday's quarterfinals, where the reigning Atlantic Sun Conference "Player of the Year," will face off against Virginia's Michael Shabaz.
"It was great to see Enrique advance again today," said head coach Yaser Zaatini. "Bowles did a good job in the second set coming back, but Enrique is so focused right now that he was able to stay mentally tough and win the match."
With the win, Olivares will now try to win both his quarterfinal and semifinal matches Saturday. Also with the victory the No. 31st ranked player also earns an automatic berth in the prestigious ITA National Indoor Championships, which will take place later this fall.
"What an outstanding accomplishment for Enrique to qualify for the ITA Indoors," said Zaatini. "ETSU hasn't had too many players that achieved the honor of competing in this great event. It's been since 1992 that a Buccaneer produced an achievement like this."

Hi All,
My technical team member has created a new report, executable for that report, value sets for report parameters, Concurrent program to bind all the above in Oracle Apps TEST environment.
He has tested and found it successful, and he wants me to move it to PRODUCTION.
Is there any DBA script to move the Apps objects mentioned above, like Concurrent Program, Executables, Value Sets, by just giving the Concurrent Program name as input ?
In Short I need to copy the records that are related to that report in the AOL tables of the TEST instance to be moved to AOL Tables of the PROD Instance.

Could this finally be it in Cleveland?
NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport reported that the Browns are attempting to hire Buffalo Bills defensive coordinator Mike Pettine as the franchise's 15th full-time head coach Thursday, according to team sources.
The development comes one day after team brass voyaged to Florida to sit down with former Buccaneers coach Greg Schiano, the latest -- and surprising -- name in a long list of candidates Cleveland has spoken to since firing Rob Chudzinski on the heels of a 4-12 campaign. Schiano has been ruled out as an option, according to Rapoport.
Pettine has toiled through two rounds of interviews with the Browns and flew back to Cleveland on Thursday for a third meeting centered on who will coordinate the defense and call plays for an offense still lacking a franchise quarterback. Rapoport believes Pettine is the only candidate in town Thursday to meet with the club.
Pettine reportedly wants the job "badly" and sounds willing to work with a crowded front-office structure that includes CEO Joe Banner and general manager Mike Lombardi under Jimmy Haslam, the team owner who has played an active role in the search.
Pettine, who also once was the New York Jets defensive coordinator, helped Buffalo's unit achieve a franchise-best 57 sacks last season in a scheme that featured the Bills attacking the quarterback and hauling in 23 interceptions. Both totals ranked second in the league.
The latest "Around The League Podcast" looked at weaknesses for the two Super Bowl teams.

Digital Electronics: Fundamental Limits and Future Prospects
Published on
I will review some old and some recent work on the fundamental (and not so fundamental) limits imposed by physics of electron devices on their density and power consumption. In particular, I will discuss:
- reversible computing, that allows one to beat the apparent Maxwell's-demon (E > kBTln2) and uncertainty-relation (E > /£n) "limits" for energy dissipation E per logic operation, and
- quantum-mechanical effects that impose limits on shrinking of both field-effect and single-electron transistors.
I will argue that the impact of scaling limitations is grossly exacerbated by the economics of the current microcircuit fabrication paradigm. This problem may be overcome by transfer from the purely CMOS technology to hybrid "CMOL" integrated circuits. Such a circuit would combine an advanced (e.g., 45-nm) CMOS subsystem capped with two levels of mutually perpendicular nanowires. The nanowires are bridged with specially designed molecules that would self-assemble on them from solution. CMOL circuits may allow to combine advantages of their nanoscale components (e.g., reliability of CMOS circuits and miniscule footprint of molecular devices) and circumvent their drawbacks (e.g., low voltage gain of molecular devices), while keeping the fabrication facilities costs within reasonable limits. Possible architectures of CMOL circuits, and their speed vs. power consumption tradeoffs will be reviewed in brief.

I drive state Route 68 between Evans City and Butler several times a week, and this two-lane rural highway was not designed to handle the traffic it carries each day. The intersection at Eagle Mill and Kriess roads should be at the top of the list of improvements. Maybe a month's work installing two turning lanes could save lives.
But in the long run, the entire stretch is in bad need of a center turning lane. All it takes is one car to stop to make a left-hand turn into his driveway or a parking lot, and a dozen cars behind it must stop, too.

Police Col. Eulogio Taveras said: "The investigation indicates that Burgos was the driver of the [vehicle] that hit the women."
A relative of Burgos, Edwin Silvestre Sanchez, told police investigators he was the driver.
In a statement the Mets said: "We are extremely disturbed by the reports regarding the player's potential involvement in the hit-and-run accident that unfortunately killed two women in the Dominican Republic. We take this matter very seriously and have begun an internal investigation to ascertain the
facts. Our thoughts and sympathies are with the families of the victims."
Burgos spend the season on the DL following elbow ligament replacement surgery, but hasn't had an event-free season.
During spring training, he had over $200,000 in jewelery stolen from the team hotel, which raised questions about his judgement for carrying that much jewelery. Also, last month he was arrested in New York on assault and harassment charges after being charged for throwing his girlfriend to the ground.
Prosecutors said Burgos appeared in court entered no plea. He's due in U.S. court again Oct. 23 and faces up to a year in jail.

Fishermen and seals: Choppy waters off Nantucket
Fishermen and seals: Choppy waters off Nantucket
A group of gray seals hangs out on a sand spit in Nantucket Sound.
Surfcaster Ken Kassan -- a.k.a. Big Kenny Tin Squid -- comes up empty on a day when he said seals were hurting the fishing off Nantucket.
A gray seal pops out of the water while taking a swim in Nantucket Sound.
Tom Mleczko of Captain Tom's Charters says he has to travel farther to find fish because of the gray seals. "I don't hate seals," he said. "I hate the large number of seals."
Access to Great Point on Nantucket -- a noted fishing spot -- was closed to vehicles to protect nesting and staging birds. When they can get there, fishermen complain that seals grab their fish off the lines.
A gray seal basks on a sand spit in Nantucket Sound near Muskeget Island. Figures compiled by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration indicate that the seal population in this area is exploding.
Dozens of gray seals beach themselves in Nantucket Sound. Seals are protected under the Marine Mammal Protection Act, but some fishermen believe their numbers are getting out of control.
A group of gray seals swims off Muskeget Island. Fishermen say the seals are shrewd and brazen enough to steal fish right off their lines as they are being reeled in.

Lehigh Hanson Canada's (LHC) commitment to the land in its care doesn't end with the closure of a mine or a plant. LHC recognizes its long-term responsibility to give the land back to nature and to the local communities.
Stewardship involves a great deal of planning, consultation and scientific understanding of how best to reclaim a landscape. One of the outcomes of learning how to bring wildlife back to industrial landscapes has been a contribution to the biodiversity of local areas.
The Quarry Life Award
Lehigh Hanson Canada (LHC) supports innovation in the enhancement of biodiversity during and after operation of its quarries and aggregate pits.
These accomplishments are recognized through LHC's participation in the HeidelbergCement Group's Quarry Life Award program. The international program recognizes projects aimed at raising knowledge of the biological value of mining sites and contributions to the preservation of biodiversity, and awards participating university research projects with various monetary prizes of up to $40,000.
In 2014, LHC's Sechelt mine hosted the 1st place and 3rd place research projects in North America which designed a geo-ecology and educational nature trail, and determined above and below ground biodiversity at the site.
The Sechelt Biosolids Program
Lehigh Materials in Sechelt, BC operates one of the largest aggregate mines in North America. In 1997 a reclamation program began to use organic and inorganic material, mainly municipal biosolids, to improve the fertility of the reclaimed land. The plan was to return mine land to the Sechelt Indian Band (SIB) and other land stewards in a more productive state than in the past.
When active mining ends, stockpiled soil is used to cover the mined out areas. This soil, known as overburden, is normally very low in organic matter. Additional fertility needs to be added. Each year since 1997, biosolids from three local sources have been applied to designated reclamation areas at the Sechelt mine. After spreading biosolids, we see with grass mix and plant hybrid poplars. Tree planting is carried out by SIB trainees and workers, giving valuable skills in plantation forestry to local First Nations.
The former sedimentation pond at Lehigh – Sechelt before biosolids use in reclamation (2004), shortly after planting, and a recent image of the same area (2009). The aggregate wash fines now support a rapidly growing stand of hybrid poplar.
In just 15 years, Sechelt has been transformed from an industrial landscape to a young woodland of poplars. In time, the poplars will encourage a range of species to develop around them. Th SIB First Nations are supporting the reclamation, learning about forestry as they go.
Kinokamau Lake Conservation with Ducks Unlimited
In 2001, Lehigh Cement and Ducks Unlimited agreed to a conservation easement at Kinokamau Lake which protects the ecologically significant wetland and surrounding lands in perpetuity. The City of Edmonton had identified the area as potentially being one of the most significant breeding habitats in the city for waterfowl. Lehigh Cement helped fund independent watershed studies which also identified over 100 bird species using the lake and wetlands. The surrounding area was also home to several mammals, large and small.
Lehigh Cement had planned to secure access to more clay in the quarry. Instead, once the ecological value of the lake was identified, Lehigh Cement began working with Ducks Unlimited to create an agreement to ensure that this important ecosystem would not be compromised by us or by any other user of the land.
McLeod River Habitat Restoration Project at Cadomin
The McLeod River Restoration Project improved natural fish habitat in four side channels of the McLeod River. Three sites are upstream of Cadomin and the fourth is downstream. This project essentially reversed past actions to help maintain aquatic diversity and protect sensitive habitat. It also conserves Alberta's freshwater resources.
The enhancement work cleared side channels to maintain continuous flow, added boulders and vegetation to increase in-stream cover in summer, and created a pond to enhance over-wintering habitat. These sites were selected to optimize fisheries habitat, while minimizing risk of future flood damage, and avoiding adverse impacts to local users and existing wildlife.
Falcon Habitat at Lehigh Cement Edmonton Plant
Lehigh Cement (Edmonton) has had a breeding pair of Peregrine Falcons at the top of our clinker silo since 1992. As soon as the falcons were identified as an Endangered Species, Lehigh Cement recognized the significance of having the birds on-site and our responsibility to provide a suitable habitat for their return.
Lehigh Cement worked with Alberta Fish & Wildlife officers to design a shelter for the pair and determine the best location for their home. A shelter box was placed on the east cement silos overlooking the rail tracks.
The falcons have raised successful broods every year. In addition to their own offspring, the falcons accepted adopted chicks raised through the falcon rehabilitation program in Alberta, and at times had as many as six chicks to raise in a season. As a result, the breeding pair was very successful in contributing to the return of the peregrine falcon across Alberta.

BOSTON, Mass.—Emily Rose Davis might be the youngest member of the UMass Boston women's hockey team, but she's fitting in just fine after being drafted by the Beacons.
This year, UMass Boston has partnered with Team IMPACT, a nonprofit group that aims to improve the quality of life for children with serious illnesses by matching them to team-based sports. Emily is the fourth member of Team IMPACT to join one of the teams on campus this year.
The 12 year-old South Boston resident was born with Neurofibromatosis, an illness that causes tumors to grow internally and externally throughout the body.
She joined the team January 2 at an official drafting ceremony held on campus with the entire women's hockey team. At the party, Emily signed a contract with the team and received a jersey with number 3--her favorite number.
Two days later, she dropped the puck before the 6th Annual Codfish Bowl Championship game between the Beacons and Lake Forest College.
"I think we are extremely lucky to have Emily as a member of our team," head coach Colleen Harris said. "The girls are looking forward to spending time with Emily and getting to know her. I think the impact that Emily will have on the players and staff is something that each of us will carry with us throughout the rest of our lives and hopefully we can have that same impact on Emily."
Already Emily has bonded with the team by playing Wii Just Dance Disney Edition with them; her new teammates are xcited about teaching Emily how to skate.

People who need advice or info on chiropratic care
I need a header for a website (http://www.chirohealthtalk.com). The dimension will be 750px wide and width of 90-120px.
Here is something similar that I really like:
What I like about this?
- The color blue
- A spine is used. Lets see how creative you can use the spine in the banner
Will need to have the domain on the banner. The domain should be in the format:
ChiroHealthTalk.com (I dont have a logo and dont require one. The domain used can be in any font)
Each of the words can be altered if need be, ie the font size for "Chiro" "Health" "Talk" can be different sizes.
Another version of the banner that I dont mind is to have photos of doctor helping out patients together with the domain.
Could be a combo of both too.
If you have any questions please let me know

Photo Gallery: Snow in Rancho Cucamonga
Several Rancho Cucamonga residents awoke to a not-so-familiar sight Sunday morning as portions of the city saw as much as 2 inches of snow from the latest weather system making its way across the Southland.
Maya Jeffrey, 12, of Rancho Cucamonga managed to pack together some of the white stuff to make a small snowman on the grass near Boulder Canyon Road on Sunday morning. Although a short distance a way in the Alta Loma foothills, residents said they didn't see any snow.
"If there was snow here it probably melted already," said Lorena Garcia of Alta Londa early Sunday afternoon.
Colder temperatures led to the snow level dropping to about 3,500 feet Saturday night into Sunday, according to Accuweather.com.
The cold weather left behind a snow-capped background to ringing in the new year.
Saturday's weather system dropped several inches of snow in the local mountains including about a half-foot at Big Bear Lake in the San Bernardino Mountains, according to residents, and more than 4 inches in Wrightwood in the San Gabriel Mountains.
Snow continued to fall in the San Bernardino Mountains Sunday afternoon.
No rain or snow is expected today or Tuesday.
Countless motorists tried to take advantage of the cold weather and make the trek into the local mountains, leading to traffic snarls.
Caltrans issued a SigAlert for Highway 330 heading into the Running Springs area on Sunday morning due to heavy traffic congestion.
Some ski enthusiasts took to the Snow Valley Facebook page to post their frustration with the slow-moving traffic heading toward the resort.
While the Snow Valley resort was open Sunday, the Snow Valley Facebook page asks anyone planning on visiting the ski resort to check the website for current conditions.
California Highway Patrol officers and San Bernardino County sheriff's deputies had to help with traffic control on highways 138 and 2 heading to the Mountain High resort in Wrightwood.
Mt. Baldy reported an accumulation of more than 3 inches of snow. The resort website said it would be open for the new year.
Both Bear Mountain and Snow Summit reported on their websites they would be open for the new year.
CHP officials advise anyone planning to head up to any of the local mountain resorts to check chain restriction and weather conditions first. They also advise people to carry bottled water, snacks, blankets and a fully charged cell phone just in case they become stuck.
Authorities also suggest motorists have a full tank of gas or a small container with gasoline in case of emergencies.

Occasional contributor Mark Falcoff writes to comment on the story that a Chilean judge is charging a US military officer with the 1973 murder of two Americans:
I don't know how many Power Line readers have ever seen Costa-Gavras's 1982 film Missing. Even if they have, they probably have forgotten the details. The story is alleged to be true, although it deals very carelessly with the facts surrounding the military coup in Chile in 1973. That event resulted in the overthrow of Marxist president Salvador Allende, his suicide, and the arrest, torture and murder of several thousand of his supporters.
The particular subject of Missing, however, is not a Chilean at all but one Charles Horman, who, together with his friend Frank Teruggi, were among the thousands of leftist groupies who poured into Chile from dozens of countries during the three-year rule of Allende. Like many of their comrades, they were picked up by the Chilean military and executed in underground jails.
The film Missing does not merely deal with this event, but rather with the supposed complicity of the United States government in Horman and Teruggi's disappearances.
But the film is not logical even within its own terms. Supposedly the U.S. government becomes aware of Horman's existence in Chile when a naval officer from Washington gives the young man and his girlfriend a ride from the port of Valparaiso to the capital, Santiago, a few days before the coup. In casual conversation with the young people, the naval officer (in civilian clothes) says, "I came here to do a job, and I am going home soon." But even more revealingly (as far as Costa-Gavras is concerned), the officer says that prior to coming to Chile he had been in Bolivia.
But — the audience is supposed to grasp immediately — that means the officer was not in Chile on naval matters at all but on some other, inexplicable task. Why? Because Bolivia has no Navy! The only problem with this is, Bolivia does in fact have a Navy, complete with admirals, but its waterborne fleet is largely (though not entirely) restricted to the enormous Lake Titicaca between Bolivia and Peru.
Costa-Gavras has us then believe that this casual encounter by this Naval officer explains how the U.S. government became aware of Horman's existence in Chile and then to his execution.
There is also a problem with this. His girlfriend, who was in the car too, and who also, presumably "knew too much" is seen in the film going home on an ordinary flight.
Flash forward to 2011.
The Los Angeles Times today carries a story that a Chilean judge is asking for the extradition of the former U.S. Naval attache in Santiago, Captain Ray E. Davis, on suspicion of participation in the murder of Horman and Teruggi. What is his evidence? We are not told, merely that he did nothing to stop the execution of the two Americans "although he had the opportunity of doing so," and that he is suspected (by whom?) of giving Pinochet officials "a list of subversive U. S. citizens in Chile."
Mind you, this all had to happen very, very quickly, because Horman was executed within
hoursdays of the coup. The U.S. government had to be very quick off the mark in an extremely chaotic and dangerous situation. Moreover, there were some serious East bloc and Cuban agents operating in Chile. Were two American leftist hippies really worth the effort?
Here is another question. How does the Chilean judge know that the U.S. Naval attache could save the two, assuming he even knew of their existence? The allegation is, alas, reminiscent of an old Latin American saw — anything unpleasant that happens in the region is the fault of the United Staters, because if it really wanted to it could prevent it.
For years the Horman family and assorted leftists in the United States have been trying to pin Horman's murder not merely on the Chilean army or police — of whose guilt there can be little doubt — but on the U.S. government, in order to raise the ideological significance of the deaths. These people have had nearly forty years to make their case, and have failed to do so. Now they are trying to revive not the investigation so much as the charges, which they want to see washed over newspapers the world over yet once again.
The State Department is reported as "not comment[ing] on specific extradition matters, but…supports a thorough investigation into the Horman and Teruggi deaths, said spokesman Will Ostick." The Obama people at Foggy Bottom are thus able to have it both ways.
By the way, if Captain Davis were naval attache in Santiago in 1973, it is reasonable to assume that if alive today he would be well into his nineties. As it is, the Los Angeles Times casually remarks that his "whereabouts were not immediately clear." No matter: the story has served its purpose.
Mark Falcoff is the author, among other books, of Modern Chile, 1970-1989: A Critical History (Transaction).

BALDWIN COUNTY, Ala. (WEAR) — An Alabama school system is warning parents about a potentially deadly game called the "Blue Whale Challenge" or "Blue Whale Game."
The Baldwin County Public School System warned parents about the game on their Facebook page Tuesday.
According to a social worker with the school system, it's been introduced on two high school campuses there already.
It's a challenge to harm yourself for 50 days, resulting in suicide. Teenagers are supposed to tag each other on social media, primarily SnapChat, and then challenge each other to play.
The student then downloads the Blue Whale app, which hacks into their personal information and cannot be deleted. The app originators then threaten the teenagers with harm to their families or releasing of personal information until they kill themselves.
The school system says the game originated in Russia.
