AMHERST — It was only a few minutes after the Boston University men's hockey team tied the University of Massachusetts, 3-3, but Matt O'Connor had already moved on from the blown third-period lead and his 46 saves. He had mentally left the Mullins Center Friday night and was focusing squarely on Monday's first round of the Beanpot Tournament.
O'Connor, who will start for the Terriers against No. 2 Boston College at TD Garden, mentioned Beantown's annual four-team tourney four times in a four-minute span.
"I thought there was a lot to build on and I'm ready to win the Beanpot," O'Connor added.
"Definitely a lot to build on there and carry into Monday night.
It's only a one-game sample, but it's safe to say O'Connor was in the zone against the Minutemen. He took advantage of his first game action in nearly three weeks by making a number of flashy glove saves and, until the final minute of regulation, helped BU's lead stick despite UMass' gaudy 49-22 shot advantage.
It was an important bounce-back game for O'Connor, who had been pulled in each of his last two games, rough outings against Harvard University on Jan. 4 and the University of Maine a week later.
It was a perfect example of what O'Connor has worked on with goaltending coach Mike Geragosian in recent weeks. O'Connor explained that during those "two bad periods," about five of the eight goals came through traffic. He took responsibility for not doing a good enough job to either find different lanes to see or moving the opposing player screening hm.
So he worked at his lateral movement — not hard with his long legs — and being more aggressive when it comes to intruders in his crease.
Early in the game Friday, it resulted in a roughing penalty. But overall O'Connor was happy with the improvements.
"I'm moving a little bit more agile, trying to find [the puck] and choosing a different lane and getting my hands out in front," O'Connor said. "On a couple of plays tonight even, I caught pucks through traffic and I think that definitely helps.
O'Connor's sharp performance, parlayed with Maguire being under the weather, made picking a starter for Monday's game an easy one.
BU played BC close when the teams matched up at Conte Forum two weeks ago. Quinn made sure to note it was a one-goal game late, with the Terriers threatening to tie it when they pulled their goalie.
It's not outlandish to expect a similar game on an even bigger stage Monday.
ANN ARBOR, Mich. — During the early goings of the third period, the No. 13/14 Boston University men's hockey team found itself in jeopardy of seeing its 1-0 lead disappear. After a scrum in front of the net, the puck bounced to the right of sophomore netminder Matt O'Connor, skidding over the goal line and eventually going under the net as it lifted off the ice.
the University of Michigan on Oct. 25.
As soon as the referee signaled goal, O'Connor, who already had more than 30 saves at the time, rushed toward an official. From the Toronto native's perspective, Wolverine winger Luke Moffatt had pushed the puck across the crease using his glove.
"I just remember seeing no stick in the guy's hand, and he was sort of in the crease," O'Connor said. "Then he just kind of sweeped it in with his hand. I just immediately wanted to get to the ref before he made a full-out decision, and let him know.
Just moments later, the officials determined via video review that the goal did not count. What looked like a break for the Terriers, however, did not last for long as Michigan capitalized on penalties to ultimately defeat BU 2-1 at Yost Ice Arena.
While the Terriers struggled to keep the puck in Michigan's zone and, eventually, faltered against the top power-play unit in the nation, O'Connor's performance kept BU in the game.
According to BU coach David Quinn, who has bounced back and forth between starting O'Connor and sophomore Sean Maguire, the decision to start the 6-foot-6 netminder was based off a hunch.
O'Connor started off the game by stopping all 14 shots that he faced in the first frame. Nine of those 14 shots came during the Terriers' three penalties.
For O'Connor, getting a lot of action early, as well as hearing the taunts of "sieve" from the crowd helped him to focus in the beginning of the game.
O'Connor continued to stymie the Wolverines' offense through the second period as he picked up 16 saves. After the goal was called off in the third frame, however, O'Connor and the Terrier defense could no longer fend off Michigan.
In between the Wolverines' two goals, O'Connor grew heated and pushed Moffat. O'Connor, however, was not penalized for the shove that landed Moffat on the ice.
Although O'Connor recorded more saves during the game than he had in any other start this season with 42, he will not make the start against Michigan State University on Saturday, according to Quinn.
ANN ARBOR, Mich. — For 45 minutes Friday night, Matt O'Connor appeared on his way to stealing the No. 13/14 Boston University men's hockey team a win over No. 4 University of Michigan. Then penalties did the Terriers in.
The Wolverines (4-0-1) scored twice on the sophomore goaltender in a span of a minute and a half in the third period for the 2-1 win at Yost Ice Arena. BU (3-2, 1-0 Hockey East) was outshot 44-19 while suffering a loss to open its 2013-14 road slate.
Quinn harped quite a bit about penalties, and with reason. The Terriers allowed Michigan 14 shots on five power plays — including three in the first 10 minutes — and given that the Wolverines entered the night with the top conversion rate in the country (37.5 percent), it was only a matter of time until they broke through.
That finally happened with senior captain Garrett Noonan sitting in the penalty box after a tripping penalty. With 30 seconds to go on the power play, Michigan freshman Tyler Motte one-timed a shot from the back door to ruin the shutout bid and knot the game, 1-1, at the 7:16 mark in the third.
Moments later, with Michigan possessing most of the momentum, sophomore wing Mike Moran hooked junior Alex Guptill as he drove to the net for a one-on-goalie opportunity, resulting in a penalty shot. Guptill converted on the ensuing chance by beating O'Connor five-hole to give the Wolverines a 2-1 edge.
BU (3-2, 1-0 Hockey East) had myriad chances in the final minutes — including one with Wolverine netminder Zach Nagelvoort caught way out of net — but couldn't finish.
The third-period lapses put a damper on what had been a very sharp game for O'Connor, who finished with 42 saves. He carried the Terriers to a 1-0 lead through the first two frames, aided by a pretty goal from freshman wing Robbie Baillargeon.
The first period was a lopsided one — BU was outshot, 14-6 — but it capitalized on one of its few chances to take a 1-0 lead into the locker room.
The Terriers were threatening in Michigan's zone when Noonan won a forechecking battle behind the net and ended up in the bottom of the right circle. He sent a short pass to Baillargeon, who managed an off-balance shot from the dot before falling backward. The tally, Baillargeon's fifth point in five games, made it through clean over Nagelvoort's glove-side shoulder.
O'Connor and the BU defense started to teeter at the start of the third. The Wolverines appeared to knot the score at one after a scrum in front of the BU net about three minutes in, but the officials waved it off after a review. The puck crossed the goal line before the net came undone, but replays indicated senior Luke Moffatt's hand was what got it that far.
O'Connor came up strong again about a minute later with a big pad save before the Terrier defense cleared the rebound. Then, with the Noonan and Moran penalties, Michigan finally found the back of the net.
Quinn pulled O'Connor for the final minute and a half but to no avail. Sophomore defenseman Ahti Oksanen missed the last few minutes with cramps, but should be good to go Saturday when BU visits Michigan State University.
Separating a goalie's performance from his team's performance is difficult. After all, he can't stop a shot, or let one past, unless it gets through five other players first. The topic comes up often on our live blogs, and in discussions about hockey in general: how much to credit a goalie in a win or blame him for a loss.
With those questions in mind, I took a look at a few less conventional goaltending stats for all the Hockey East goalies who have played at least 40 percent of their team's minutes.* I looked at even-strength save percentage, quality starts (which are based on the same principle as quality starts for pitchers), and average shots against per game.
The idea behind evaluating goaltenders by even-strength save percentage isn't that goalies shouldn't be held responsible for power-play goals against, but rather that being a man down makes the other team more likely to score than they are at even strength. Especially on oft-penalized teams, goals outside of even strength can have a significant effect on save percentage, so even-strength save percentage is seen as a more reliable indicator of the way a goalie has played.
A few observations: First, if I learned nothing else from this project, I found even more proof that Jon Gillies has been Hockey East's best goalie this year. At even strength, he allows goals on less than five percent of the shots he sees. UML's Connor Hellebuyck technically leads him now, and a .961 mark is surely impressive, but Hellebuyck has made 16 starts to Gillies' 31. As we'll see, Gillies also faces significantly more shots per game.
Interestingly, BU's Sean Maguire has the smallest gap between his overall save percentage and his even-strength one, which could reflect that he's played better than average in special teams situations.
Quality starts have the same idea for goalies as for pitchers, but the method of calculating them is slightly more complicated. In the original Hockey Prospectus article, the parameters for a QS were laid out as follows: the goalie either records a .912 save percentage in the game, or he records a save percentage of .885 or better while allowing fewer than three goals.
I adjusted that slightly, changing the then-NHL league average save percentage of .912 to the Hockey East average, .910. Due to the small sample size, this is by no means perfect, but at the NHL level, a good goalie gives his team a quality start about 55 percent of the time, and the most reliable do it about 60 percent of the time.
Again, Gillies and Hellebuyck come out on top with the greatest percentage of quality starts. QS's serve as a decent substitute for wins in evaluating goalies, and the gap between a goalie's quality starts and his wins can start to separate his play from that of his team.
For instance, Gillies has 22 quality starts and only 15 wins, and Maine's Martin Ouellette has just nine wins in his 16 quality starts. On the flip side, Boston College has found a way to win even when Parker Milner doesn't keep them in it – he's made 17 quality starts but gotten 20 wins. Maguire and Matt O'Connor have made 11 and 10 quality starts, respectively, and gotten 10 and eight wins.
Finally, I looked at the number of shots each goalie sees on average per game, to add some context. Despite having the second-best shot-blocker in the nation, senior defenseman Sean Escobedo (and, until recently, then-top shot blocker Alexx Privitera), BU has let the most shots through to its goalies of any Hockey East team. Both Maguire and O'Connor have faced more shots on average than any of the other goalies, and Maguire has faced the most – 32.8 per game.
It's no surprise that Lowell's two goalies, Doug Carr and Hellebuyck, saw the fewest shots per game behind the River Hawks' stifling team defense. And, in accordance with the fact that they allow the most shots, BU has also given up the second-most goals in the conference, behind only Northeastern. Maguire and O'Connor are in the middle of the pack as far as save percentage, both overall and even-strength, but they're being tested more frequently than any other starters.
None of these numbers give a comprehensive picture of these goalies' value to their teams, but together, they show a few different sides of their performances. The evaluation is also incomplete without an understanding of the quality of shots each player has faced. If I can compile enough shot charts, maybe that'll be an offseason project.
*Vermont's Brody Hoffman is omitted from the even-strength save percentage chart only because Vermont's website doesn't keep track of power-play shots, so I couldn't calculate it.
Matt O'Connor's rookie season is over.
The freshman goaltender for the No. 19 Boston University men's hockey team underwent surgery for his collapsed lung Thursday afternoon, according to coach Jack Parker, and will not return to action this season.
O'Connor has been hospitalized since Saturday, when he was scratched from his start against the University of Vermont, and after the puncture in his lung didn't patch itself up over the course of the week the way doctors had hoped, they decided to perform surgery.
Parker said O'Connor suspected a shot to the ribs Feb. 15 vs. Maine might have been what caused the collapsed lung — formally known as pneumothorax — but symptoms did not present in earnest until Saturday.
According to Venis, O'Connor had had some rib pain and a cough earlier in the week, then complained of shortness of breath during Saturday's pre-game skate. That's when Parker and team doctors made the decision to not let him play.
The goalie dressed for the contest but did not take to the ice for introductions before puck drop, and when he was absent from the bench for much the game he was actually at the hospital getting chest x-rays.
The plan had been for O'Connor to get the tests done after the game.
Although O'Connor mentioned the blunt force in Maine, Venis said the official diagnosis is "spontaneous pneumothorax," which O'Connor has many of the risk factors for — he's tall, thin, athletic, male and between 10 and 30 years old.
Parker said operating was not originally the plan, but about 40 percent of those who suffer from pneumothorax experience it again. With surgery, that is not expected to be an issue.
The Toronto, Ontario, native's mother, Lesley Hadrill, is in Boston, and Parker and many teammates have visited him in the hospital, according to the coach.
O'Connor will end his season with a .910 save percentage and 2.86 goals-against average. He went 8-8-2 in 19 games, 18 of them starts.
Freshman Sean Maguire, who has largely split time with O'Connor all season, is slated to be the full-time goalie, while junior Anthony Moccia, a Medford native who has not seen ice time in his two seasons on the roster, will be the backup.
The Boston University men's hockey team finally has a number-one goaltender, but not by choice.
Freshman Matt O'Connor is out indefinitely with spontaneous pneumothorax and is expected to make a full recovery, according to a team source. Spontaneous pneumothorax is a collapsed lung that happens with no apparent cause.
O'Connor is in the hospital as of Monday evening. There is no information available on a recovery timeline.
"A small area in the lung that is filled with air can break open, sending air into the space around the lung," according to the U.S. National Library of Medicine. Tall, thin people are more likely to suffer collapsed lungs.
The 6-foot-5, 201-pound O'Connor has posted a .910 save percentage and 2.86 goals-against average in 19 games (18 starts) in his rookie campaign.
The news comes two days after freshman Sean Maguire started two games in a weekend for the first time this season. After making 49 saves and one goal in a win against the University of Vermont Friday night, Maguire gave up four goals the next night, just hours after finding out he would make the start.
BU coach Jack Parker said after Saturday's game O'Connor had trouble breathing during the pre-game skate Saturday afternoon, and the team made the decision to hold him back shortly thereafter.
Maguire, whose .914 save percentage and 2.95 GAA in 15 games are quite comparable to O'Connor's numbers, is in line to be the team's regular goalie.

Running shoes that specialize in motion control may help control the risk of running injuries, according to a Luxembourg study. Those who run often and have flat feet or whose feet have a pronation, in which the feet rolled inward, benefited from motion control shoes. The study found that only those who had these particular conditions would be able to benefit from running shoes with motion control. Shoes that feature motion control had "a piece of plastic near the middle and a harder piece of foam on the inward side of the sole." The study suggests that motion control can be more beneficial than shoes with no motion control.
Runners can still be prone to running injuries even with proper precautions. If you are suffering from a running injury, contact one of our podiatrists of Advanced Foot and Ankle Specialists. Our doctors will diagnose and treat your foot and ankle needs.


Sell me some Millersburg Glass!
As many old newspapers and journals are digitised and put online, they provide an amazing insight into how Carnival Glass was originally promoted, marketed and sold to the public, either directly, or by other means like mail order and wholesalers.
Here are two contemporary adverts for Millersburg Radium Carnival Glass. The selections would be made up and despatched directly from Millersburg's factory.
February 1911 - this ad was putting a very positive spin on what in reality was a difficult time for Millersburg. We know that the factory had actually shut down for a week or so at exactly this time - late January—early February, 1911. Legal proceedings by the Hipkins Novelty Mould Company (for unpaid bills) were due to be heard in the Holmes County Court, and yet John Fenton still managed to sound upbeat.
The selection on offer in these ads did not change between February and November 1911, which is not surprising given that the business was in trouble and was actually in receivership for five months of this period.
- the four bowls around the centre are Grape Wreath (top left), Grape Wreath Variant (top right and bottom left) and Blackberry Wreath (bottom right).
The images show 3 out of the 4 different centre variations that Millersburg used on these "Wreath-style" patterns - as illustrated on the right.
These two ads from 1911 tie in exactly with other contemporaneous press reports that we revealed for the first time in "Magnificent Millersburg - the Rise and Fall". Follow these links to read about "The Rise" and "The Fall" of this great glassmaker.

The author classified classical mutural community support systems specific for poor islander whom are on the brink of ruin. His central concerns are on "Island of Poverty;" in Japan, which resources for restoration and redevelolpment are the opportunity to use land on the uninhabited very tiny islet, and sea surrounding. These are commons or a quasi commons of mother island's community, sometimes even which are houses they use and live in. He classified also historical and managerial differences between "Island of Poverty; Uu-jima, Oominase-jima, Ote-shima and Yuri-jima;" and similar systems in detail. These differences in detail are mainly based on the documents and new fact findings by his field-work.
症例は60歳, 男子. 突然の排尿時痛, 尿線中絶及び軽度の膀胱刺激症状を訴え来院. 尿道膀胱造影で明かな結石陰影は認められなかったが, 腹部単純撮影にて両側腎部に多発性の小結石陰影を認めた. 更に, 排泄性腎盂造影で腎長軸が下方で交差する所見と腎錐体先端部の拡張した集合管内に貯留した造影剤を認めた. X線CTでは椎体前面で両腎下極が癒合する所見を認めた. 従って, 本症例は馬蹄腎に海綿腎が合併した稀な1例と診断した.
1974年1月から1985年12月までの12年間に川崎医科大学泌尿器科を受診し, 尿路結石症の診断のもとに点滴静注腎盂造影を施行した881例中, 海綿腎と診断された者は, 男性19例, 女性19例の計38例で, その頻度は4.3%であった. 年齢分布は16~76歳に亘り, 50歳代が最も多く, 一般の尿路結石症の好発年齢と一致した. 尿所見は, 血尿を認めるものが52.6%, 尿路感染症を証明しえたのは4例 (10.5%) であった. 腎機能検査は, PSP試験, 24時間内因性クレアチニン・クリアランス (Ccr) ではほとんどの症例が正常であったが, 濃縮試験では半数に濃縮力の低下がみられ, 結石による二次的変化と考えられた. 病変部位は, 38例中32例 (84.2%) が両側汎発性でありまた, 38例中26例 (68.4%) が両側腎尿管結石を有していた. 結石代謝は, 尿中燐排泄量の軽度増加, クエン酸排泄量の軽度低下の傾向がみられ, 結石形成の誘因と考えられた. 結石成分は, 蓚酸カルシウムと燐酸カルシウムの混合結石が28結石中13結石 (46.4%) と多くみられたが, 一般の尿路結石症例と比較すると, 燐酸カルシウム結石の頻度が若干高かった. 酸負荷試験では14例中5例 (35.7%) に尿酸性化障害がみられたが, 障害例の尿中カルシウム排泄量は正常であり, 結石形成には尿の酸性化障害がもたらすアルカリ尿, 尿中カルシウム, 燐排泄の増加およびクエン酸排泄の低下など多くの因子が関与するものと考えられた.
昭和50年1月から, 昭和56年12月まで千葉大学泌尿器科を受診した患者で, 静脈性腎盂造影を施行した6,520例中, 海綿腎と診断された者は, 男子15例, 女子21例であり, 頻度は0.55%であった. 海綿腎で結石を有する者は29例で, この間の結石患者新患数は940例で, 頻度は3.1%であった.
PSP試験, クレアチニン・クリアランスで低下を示すものは少なく, 経過中に悪化を示すものは少なかったが, 低下するものもあり, 注意が必要である. 尿酸性化障害, 高カルシウム尿の頻度は, それぞれ23例中3例, 26例中5例と高くなく, 単なる合併と思われた. 濃縮力試験では18例中9例が低下しており, 低下例全例に結石を認めた.
When I made a study on the alluvial plains of Japanese Inland sea, Setonaikai, I perceived that the depth to the basal gravel bed beneath the delta plains corresponded to the river system of the period of the lower sea-level. So I tried to trace the surface of the gravel bed in the bottom of that sea, to inquire into the time when it took shape and to restore the river system to the original state. For these purposes Im de an analysis of its marine topography.
(1) Its topography is very complicated, but generally it is divided into two. One is called Nada (open sea). Judging from the accumulative depth percent of Nada (Fig 2) we can find the fact that the depth of each part already corresponds to the river system. But in this case, we cann't estimate its true depth for continuing of heterogeneous mud deposition.
(4) There is a drowned valley in the bottom of Nada where homogeneous deposition continued (Fig 10). The drowned and burned river system is estimated as Fig 11. According to these facts Setonaikai resembles the Sunda Sea concerning the topography of the shelves. The difference is that in the latter there are such islands as Bangka and Billiton.
(5) It is conjectured that in this period there must have been slight and local climatic topography for its surroundings.
1. Ôcho Village, located on Osaki-shimo Island in the inland sea of Setouchi, is known as a village most specialized in citrus culture in Japan. The ratio of orchards to the total arable land was 97% in 1929. During the war, 20% of the fruit trees were cut down. And by 1950, the ratio had again increased up to 90%. Before the springing up of citrus culture in the village, villagers were growing peaches. In 1859, UNSHU tangerine was introduced to the village. Early-crop (Wase) UNSHU tangerine was introduced in 1903, which at present. occupies 55% of the total amount of citrus crop in Ôchô. This is of the highest as the rate of early-crop UNSHU in Japan.
2. The area of Ôchô Village covers a sloping land of 10 to 40 degrees. Thecitrus trees are planted in terraced fields, 70% of which have stone-steps and. 30% soil-steps. To carry the fruits down the steep slope, a simple cableway was set up in 1921. Today, there are 46 cablecars, in the village, by which 30% of the total crop of tangerines are carried down the slope. The entire cable system is operated by electricity and under the management of the cooperative of the villagers. There is no comparable example to this scheme in Japan.
3. Canned tangerine was first made here in Japan in 1927. The markets for Ôchô tangerines are Kôbe-Osaka area (40%), Tôkyo (30%), and others. Marketing of the early-crop UNSHU is made in October, 35%; November, 50%; December, 15%. The ordinary UNSHU is shipped in November, 10% December, 30%; January, 15%; February 20% ; March, 20%; April, 5%.
4. One of the characteristics of citrus culture in Ôchô is the "watarisaku" (farming over the water). Out of 700 cho (1 cho _??_ 1 ha.) of citrus orchard belonging to the villagers, 300 ch5 is located within the village and 400 cho is scatteringly distributed in 30 other villages, namely in many other neighbouring islands. They maintain their "farming over the water" by 200 nonpowered boats and 350 powered boats. The followings are considered to be the factors in bringing up an unusual manner of farming as this.
(1) Limited area of land and increasing population. (2) The sea is calm even in winter, so ferrying by small boats to the orchards in other islands is made without danger. (3) The village of Ôchô embraces a good natural harbour, which enables several hundred boats to be at anchor at one time. And as the harbour faces to the east, it is shielded from the north-west winter monsoon. (4) As the land is limited in area, its price is high. If one sells 1 tan (1/10 cho) of upland fields in Ôchô, he will be able to purchase 5 tan of uplandfields or even more of forest in Ehime Prefecture. (5) There are customs of establishing "branch families" and of "inheritance by the youngest child" in Ôchô. The eldest son and the younger ones, got mnarried, buy orchards outside the village, and settle there. The younger children stay in their native house and engage in fruit-growing, instead of becoming fantory workers as is usually the case in other farm areas. (9) They traditionally have skilled techniques in fruit-growing. The general standard of techniques has been high. The villagers are industrious and have no political disputes. The present village master is the third one since 1889. (7) The successive, village masters encouraged the farming over the water. The Hiroshima Agriculture and Industry Bank had actively assisted the farmers in purchasing farmland, loaning to them over one million yen since the end of the Meiji, era. Due to the recent inflation, all the loan has been returned, and thevillage is prosperous. (8) Citrus growing has the highest possibility of cash income. Industrial processing of the products is developing, and the enterprise, is economically stable.

A man known as the office asking for some guidance. He and his wife had been separated for more than 6 months. She was still living within the matrimonial property and he had moved out into a flat. The arrangement was that she would get a job and put the residence out there and they could then split the money and each buys a smaller comfortable home. The split was a mutual one as both parties had had affairs. His wife had created no attempt to marketplace the property and kept making excuses as to why not. He also believes that the wife has moved her boyfriend in and our client was nonetheless footing the bills for that residence and his own flat.
He wanted us to pose as feasible buyers. His plan was to go round and knock on the door and ask if it was for sale. If his wife stated no he would know that she had no intention of putting it up for sale. He also wanted proof that her boyfriend was living there and if she had tried to obtain function. Our client was required to pay upkeep for her while she was out of perform and pay for the upkeep of the house.

SPY GAMES
Inside the simulated CIA 'town' where young spies learn how to flip cars, gun down terrorists and survive torture
Sophie Jane Evans
AMARYLLIS Fox furrows her brow in concentration as she fires an M4 rifle, scours the ground for 'bombs' and flips a car, while evading actors posing as terrorists.
But the 24-year-old isn't on the set of a Hollywood action film - she's a real-life CIA spy holed up at the 'Farm', a simulated 'town' where elite young agents are trained up in secret for six months.

It is speculated that this winding track, circled, is used for defensive driving lessons
Hidden away on a 10,000-acre site in Virginia, US, the covert facility plays host to a huge, adrenaline-fuelled game of "make-believe" that's dubbed the most "demanding espionage training on Earth".
Defensive driving and torture tips
Here, amid the fake town square, woodland and buildings designed to look like embassies, ruthlessly selected spies are taught everything - from recruiting informants, or "assets", to withstanding torture.
They even reportedly learn ways to kill themselves in case they're captured during their real-life cloak-and-dagger work abroad. And at every step, trainees who don't meet the CIA's standards are eliminated.
The Farm's fascinating secrets are revealed by Amaryllis - now a former agent and a 39-year-old mum of two who is married to a member of the Kennedy family - in her new memoir, Life Undercover.
"We learn defensive driving, our instructors teaching us to flip cars by tapping a spot above their rear wheel with our own front grill and how to respond in seconds when swarmed by armed militia fighters or trapped at an ambush," she recalls.
"They leave fake roadside bombs around campus for us to identify; we indicate that we've found one by pulling over and popping our truck."

The CIA doesn't acknowledge The Farm's existence
While other former agents have spoken out about the Farm, the CIA doesn't acknowledge its existence. It is widely rumoured to be based at the US military reservation Camp Peary, near Williamsburg.
Amaryllis, the daughter of an American economist and a British actress, was just 22 when she was recruited by the CIA, after creating an algorithm predicting likely terrorist safe havens.
Childhood bombing trauma
She had first encountered terrorism aged eight, when her best pal was killed along with 269 others while flying home on the Pan Am flight bombed over Lockerbie, Scotland, in 1988.
Then years later, while she was an undergrad at Oxford University, Amaryllis's writing mentor, journalist Daniel Pearl, was kidnapped and brutally beheaded by terrorists in Pakistan.
Horrified by his murder, she recalls in her book: "The more deeply I realise that hiding won't help me. I'm going to be afraid of what's happening until I understand why it is."

For her first two years at the CIA, Amaryllis analysed classified cables from foreign governments, wrote daily briefs for the US President and watched beheading videos to try to identify the filming location.
All the while, her family thought she was consulting for a multinational company.
Then, aged 24, Amaryllis was made a prestigious clandestine (undercover) service trainee and told she was headed to the ultra-secret Farm for six months with no contact with loved ones.
'You're going to disappear'
Before she set off there in a blacked-out bus, her boss told her: "My advice is to get drunk, then get some sleep, then spend some quality time with the people you love.
"Because in three weeks, you're going to disappear."

Who is former CIA spy Amaryllis Fox?
AMARYLLIS Fox spent her childhood between the US and London, where she lived a few streets away from Big Ben.
Her father was an economist from upstate New York who frequently travelled for work, while her mum, an Englishwoman, was an actress.
Growing up with her big brother Ben, Amaryllis recalls how her mum would tell them: "Never forget, you can travel anywhere, just by closing your eyes."
As a teen, Amaryllis signed up to study international law at Oxford University, where in her second year she was headhunted by people she believes were working for a UK intelligence agency such as MI5, MI6 or GCHQ.
At the time, she told them: "I don't believe in your cloak-and-dagger stuff."
But after her writing mentor was beheaded in 2002, Amaryllis moved to the US to undertake a master's programme in conflict and terrorism and was recruited into the CIA.
Following her Farm training, the young woman was deployed as a spy under non-official cover – the most difficult and coveted job in the field, with most operatives deploying under diplomatic cover instead.
She moved to Shangai under the cover of being an art dealer specialising in tribal and indigenous art. There, she was joined by her new husband Dean Fox - a CIA case officer whom she'd met on her last day at the Farm.
After giving birth to her eldest daughter Zoë in September 2008, Amaryllis continued to go on missions, before eventually moving back to America and deciding to leave the agency.
She has since remarried, tying the knot with Bobby Kennedy III - Senator Robert F. Kennedy's grandson - last year. In January 2019, the pair welcomed a baby girl, also called Bobby.
In October, Amaryllis released her book Life Undercover. However, it had already sparked a storm online after she reportedly submitted it to her publishers without getting official CIA approval, with some former agents claiming some details didn't ring true.
She insisted that she met the obligations of what she agreed with the agency, telling The Times there is "a lot that isn't in the book".
Today, Amaryllis lives in LA and regularly contributes as an analyst for CNN, BBC, and other news outlets.
Playing 'make-believe'
At the farm, Amaryllis found herself living in a "fictionalised country called the Republic of Victoria (ROV)" where she and other trainees were "first-tour case officers" assigned to the US embassy.
"We each have training names - aliases to protect our identities from one another," she writes.
"But other than that, everything feels real. There is an actual embassy building, with an American flag fluttering out front, on an actual town square with a wooden gazebo."
During their stint at the Farm, trainees, most in the 20s and 30s, attend fictional embassy parties alongside 'diplomats', where they identify targets of interest and "recruit" them as assets.
They also drive cars kitted out with concealment compartments for their notes and embark on long surveillance detection routes in a "cat-and-mouse labyrinth chase" with operatives.
"If we see the same granny with a yoga mat twice on the same street, she could just be walking in the same direction we are," writes Amaryllis. "But see her twice on two different streets, miles and hours apart, and we might have just nailed our surveillance."

Starbucks cards to 'signal' meetings
They also learn sophisticated ways to "signal" a meeting with an asset - such as buying a coffee using a Starbucks gift card because the value can be checked online using the card number.
"If the balance on one is depleted, [the instructor] knows he's got a meeting," Amaryllis adds.
As the months pass, the spies are sent on days-long treks across woodland with a rainproof notepad and are trained to shoot targets with Glocks and M4s in urban-combat scenarios.
"Hit a civilian and we're out," writes the former spy. "Even the actual targets have to be given first aid as soon as we complete our objective or the compound is secured."
She gives an eye-opening account of the first aid training: "[We learn] to cover sucking chest wounds with supermarket bags, duct-taped to a patient's skin as their pierced lung heaves beneath."
But it's not all hard work for the youngsters.
Amaryllis says trainees are taught how to shoot targets, avoid surveillance and flip a car. Above, CIA training footage

Sex-fuelled weekends
Every so often, Amaryllis writes, the spies get a free weekend, during which they meet up at local hotels, watch movies and "sometimes, most times, we have sex".
For those who make it through the training without getting their asset 'killed' - which results in their expulsion from the Farm - the end arrives unexpectedly in the form of a siren blaring across the 'town'.
"It means the simulation is over. The explosions stop. The interrogations shut down. The instructors playing terrorists and cabinet members get up in mid-meeting and walk away," says Amaryllis.

For some, it can feel like they've survived an apocalypse.
But for all the graduates, it's only the beginning, a practice for their dangerous real lives undercover, where they will infiltrate terror networks, recruit foreign officials and try to make the world safer.
In Amaryllis's case, she'd even carry her newborn baby daughter Zoë, now 11, in a sling on missions to prevent terror attacks, because it wasn't safe to leave her in the hostile nation they were living in.
"I'll be alone, without a safety net, in the most dangerous places the planet has to offer," writes Amaryllis, reflecting on the moment she was handed her first assignment after leaving the Farm.
"But I'll have the best shot at doing what I signed up to do: preventing the most catastrophic attacks."

President Trump stresses bipartisan unity in first State of the Union address
Andrew Miano
President Donald Trump waves during his first State of the Union address in the House chamber of the U.S. Capitol to a joint session of Congress Tuesday, Jan. 30, 2018 in Washington, as Vice President Mike Pence and House Speaker Paul Ryan applaud. (Win McNamee/Pool via AP)
President Donald Trump called for bipartisan unity on immigration and infrastructure policy to unreceptive Democratic ears in the annual State of the Union address on Tuesday night.
The televised address, watched on average by just over 40 million Americans in years past, was Trump's first State of the Union address since taking office one year ago.
University of Connecticut eighth-semester student and president of the UConn College Democrats Steven Della-Giustina said he was not among the viewers of the president's address.
"I was not going to throw away my time watching him speak," Della-Giustina said. "Though I am really excited for Joe Kennedy and Maxine Waters' rebuttals."
The Daily Campus reached out to the UConn College Republicans, but they had no comment on the address.
Among those who watched the president's address was eighth-semester UConn student Joseph Gatti, who said he was "optimistic."
"I hope his message will rally a sense of unity in the days to come," Gatti said.
In his 90-minute address, Trump looked back on his first year in office, noting the achievements and campaign promises he's carried out.
"Our massive tax cuts provide tremendous relief for the Middle Class and small businesses," Trump said. "For the last year we have sought to restore the bonds of trust between our citizens and their government."
Trump often alluded to guests invited by his administration seated in the gallery of the chamber, including the Cuevas and Mickens families, whom he used to pivot the address toward his immigration policy.
"Tonight, I am calling on the Congress to finally close the deadly loopholes that have allowed MS-13, and other criminals, to break into our country," Trump said. "We have proposed new legislation that will fix our immigration laws, and support our ICE and Border Patrol Agents, so that this cannot ever happen again."
Trump's proposed immigration plan includes "four pillars:" Granting legal status to 1.8 million Dreamers, securing the southern border with a wall, ending the visa lottery system and ending the policy of "chain migration."
"These four pillars represent a down-the-middle compromise, and one that will create a safe, modern, and lawful immigration system," Trump said. "It is time to reform these outdated immigration rules, and finally bring our immigration system into the 21st century."
Rep. Joseph Kennedy III, D-MA, provided the Democratic Party's rebuttal to Trump's address in which he restated the party's support for undocumented minors.
"To all the dreamers watching tonight, let me be absolutely clear, you are part of our story," Kennedy said. "We will fight for you and we will not walk away— we will not walk away."

Ogres! Jan. 5, 2006
Many, many ogres were harmed in the production of this column.
Mail Me | Discuss | Roleplaying Forum
And so it begins. . .
Welcome, welcome to the first Saving Throw of 2006! With the new year comes a somewhat redesigned format intended to better emphasized the submitted content, especially guides, adventures, and reviews, which were more difficult to find before. The timing works well since this Saving Throw has two guides and only one hall of fame entry. As you'll see, the featured hall of fame story no longer has its full text posted in the column itself, but it still gets a more prominent link than the other content. This redesign also makes for some minor changes to the Submission Guidelines, as blurbs and teasers are no longer used.
Eggman gives us this week's featured story where three mages visit a island where magic doesn't work. Beaudoin comes back with his first guide describing seven ways to be a bad roleplayer. Finally, I give you the next guide on my series on diceless adventures; in this installment, I talk about character creation.
And now, I invited Falor from our role-playing forum to say a few words here:
Forum RPG: A type of role playing game which uses either an agreed apon set of rules (i.e. D20, World Of Darkness, etc...) or roleplaying based actions where description determines action (i.e. Player 1 does this, Player 2 reacts with this.) A gamemaster is required to moderate both, providing impartial opinion to determine sucess or failure of a given action. Games are conducted on a post-by-post basis, which means all personas involved in a particular scene should all have equal chance to respond to a particular event (i.e. wait till all others post before posting again.)
Now that that's out of the way, I have volunteered myself to be the first gamemaster for the RPGamer.com forum RPG. This is a fantasy based game and is open to all forum users. At the present state, the game is open roleplaying. Just make a personality and play it. No character sheet or background is required (though it is optional).
The game world is called Anadeal, a once prosperous realm which is now caught in a losing war against evil. Some source stories are linked in the forum thread and availible for reading. Additional world information will be provided based on player response and necessity.
Feel free to come by the forum roleplaying section and roleplay away. I find that forum roleplaying is a good way to pass time, have fun, and zone out when necessary. The door is open, just come on in.
At any rate, this is just freestyle roleplaying, meaning that you don't need to know any roleplaying system to join in on Falor's game. The game starts here. If any other gamemasters wish to start up a forum game, the section itself is here.
With that, it's time to move onto the column!

Guildpact Worldwide Pre-release Tournaments Only Two Weeks Away
Source: Wizards of the Coast
Tournaments are being held in many areas worldwide, including North America, Europe, Asia, Australia, New Zealand, and Latin America, on January 21 and 22, 2006 to promote the release of Guildpact card set for the Magic: The Gathering trading card game. Those who enter will receive one Ravnica: City of Guilds Tournament Pack and three Guildpact boosters. The main tournament will be a modified Swiss-style structure, while many side tournaments consisting of single-elimination rounds will be offered throughout the day. Some locations may also be offering three-person team and two-person Two Headed Giant formats.
Entry fees for participants and prizes for the tournaments winners are determined by local tournament organizers. More information is available here.
And so it ends. . .
Wondering about the tip of the week? Well, I have a friend who forgot that druids could cast spells. Yes, really. I couldn't believe it either, since he'd been playing Dungeons and Dragons far longer than I ever had.
Well, I finally got some gaming in this weekend. Unfortunately, it was a lot of dice-rolling rather than much roleplaying, so it wasn't quite worth the nasty cold, or whatever it was, one of my friends gave me. I mean, that illness basically incapacitated me the next day. Fortunately, I'm feeling better now, but I at least wish this adventure had been more than just basically a lot of fighting against ogres (hence the name of the column). It might have been worth it, then.
Anyway, please feel free to share your opinions on the new format. I'll be back next week with yet another edition of the Saving Throw.

Ginny Owens -Home Sweet Home
Posted on October 10, 2005 January 10, 2017
Ginny Owens
CCM Magazine
Everyone was smiling on that sunny August day. Parents waved and whistled from the bleachers as a motley group of children in blue and red uniforms straggled onto the playing field. It could have been any ordinary Sunday afternoon tee-ball game; but when President George W. Bush placed the ball on the tee and shouted, "Play ball!" it was obviously something quite different. This was the South Lawn of the White House, and acclaimed Rocketown recording artist Ginny Owens had just sung the National Anthem to kick off a special game between two Little League Challenger teams, comprised of mentally and physically disabled children.
Just a few weeks earlier, a White House staffer had heard Ginny's music and decided to make the phone call that brought her to this unusual two-inning sporting event. While nobody kept score of the game, the crowd cheered wildly as each batter knocked the ball from the tee. Many onlookers wiped away tears as the Challengers painstakingly crossed home plate, some on their own two feet and others in wheelchairs pushed by a "buddy." These children may not fit society's definition of "winners," but they give courage new meaning. And the same could be said of Ginny Owens, the disarming young woman who, despite meeting him in person, will never see the face of President George W. Bush.
Just like the Little Leaguers who struggled around the bases, the 30-year-old singer/songwriter has needed extra courage to overcome her physical handicap, blindness since the age of 2 from a congenital eye disease. And while Ginny knows these children will continue to wrestle with their imperfections, she hopes "they get a moment to feel whole. A moment to feel, not really like they accomplished something, but to feel like they were needed?and that someone's asked them to join the world." Since Ginny joined the world of Christian music eight years ago, the results have been extraordinary. She was signed as Rocketown's first female artist, released three full-length studio albums (plus an EP and live project), nabbed the 2000 Dove Award for New Artist of the Year and penned four Top 5 radio singles, including the hit "If You Want Me To." But the Jackson, Miss., native is far from sitting back to survey her handiwork. "I think what really has kept me going is the challenge to develop myself as a whole, rather than just a songwriter or artist," Ginny says of the past year. And she's not kidding. On top of a rigorous tour schedule, she's made several television appearances, conducted songwriting seminars, sung on a David Wilcox record and founded The Fingerprint Initiative, a non-profit organization to help meet the needs of disadvantaged children and families. She's also squeezed in working on a book, a series of essays about her life similar to the immensely popular memoir Blue Like Jazz. But making music is still Ginny's calling, as evidenced by a much-anticipated fourth project with a title that could easily describe what a tiny, red-headed tee-ball champion in a wheelchair felt as he rounded first base: Long Way Home. Her newest offering focuses on the ultimate home — heaven — and the courage that's required in the process of living until then.
"I'm waiting/waiting for tomorrow/Staring out my window/Until today is done./I'm living/living for the future/Just biding my time here/till something better comes along./Resting in the shade of my daydreaming,/Till I finally awake to what's been missing." ("Waiting for Tomorrow")
Most of humanity — especially those who feel crippled emotionally, physically or spiritually — can relate to lyrics like these, a longing for the day when they will be made whole. With songs like "Fellow Traveler" and "Long Way Home," Ginny carefully and expertly explores the intricacies of living in the already and the not yet. "It's like, what does it mean to trust God instead of filling all my life with noise?" she queries. "And what does it mean to believe that every moment has value, so that I don't waste my time? And what does it mean to realize that this isn't the planet where we belong, but we were made for something far greater, and to keep our hope set there and encourage each other to remember that?" The slender brunette has always possessed that thoughtful candor, but almost two years after her last album, could this be a Ginny Owens we've never heard before? "I feel a lot older now," she confides simply. One of the lessons three decades have taught her is that we face the same battles over and over in life, but "I think we learn something more every time. We grow a little bit more, we become a little bit deeper, we understand a little bit more about who we are and who God is and how those two things work together." Thus, Long Way Home touches on the same profound life themes that filled earlier projects Beautiful, Something More and Without Condition, but with fresh insight: It puts everything — simplicity, failure, community, beauty — in the perspective of heaven, our ultimate destination. "You can sing through anything as long/as you know/What awaits you at the end of the road" ("Live Once"). To complement what she calls her most "honest, reflective" songwriting to date, Ginny chose a three-pronged production team — Monroe Jones (Third Day, Chris Rice), who had produced all her previous records, label mate Will Hunt (Ryan Cabrera), and Vince Emmett. It's authentic Ginny all the way through, as — for the first time — she recorded with the band she tours with and co-produced on all 10 tracks. "This is probably the first record where I looked straight ahead, didn't look to the right or the left and just got the job done," Ginny says, wryly thankful for a hectic travel schedule that didn't allow her perfectionism to take over. "We just sort of plowed through it. I just took the songs that I felt passionate about and said, ?Let's record these.'" Such a confident approach to song selection is rare, as any artist will attest to the battle between saying what you want to say and what other people want to hear. But over the years, Ginny has learned to make the pressure from marketing and retail for a commercially successful record the quietest voice in her head.

Mauro Icardi said Inter were not up to their own standard as he lamented the club's Champions League defeat to Barcelona in the absence of Lionel Messi.
Messi watched from the stands as his Barca team-mates earned a 2-0 Group B victory over Italian visitors Inter at Camp Nou on Wednesday.
Icardi and Inter were looking to take advantage of Messi's absence, with the Barca captain and five-time Ballon d'Or winner sidelined due to a fractured arm.
But Inter left Barcelona empty-handed following goals from Rafinha and Jordi Alba, much to Icardi's frustration.
"I think the difference was in the first half, where we didn't play up to Inter standards. We left too many spaces and allowed them the initiative," Icardi told Sky Sport Italia .
"In the second half, we did better and forced Barcelona to misplace passes, but could've done more to make the most of the situation by finishing off the chances.
"I am not very happy with the performance, because we could've done well from the start and instead were pinned back. We've got to put in a great shift at San Siro and get points to go through.
The defeat ended Inter's perfect start to Group B, with Luciano Spalletti's side now three points behind Barca heading into the reverse fixture at San Siro on November 6.
Following a slow start in league play Inter have run off five wins on the trot, including a 1-0 result against AC Milan in the Derby della Madonnina, to move up to third in the Serie A table.
They face a tough match against fourth-placed Lazio at the weekend and will take on another top-half side in Genoa before hosting Barcelona on November 6.

Sydney violinist Haydn Beck, who
was formerly leader of the A. B. C.'s
Melbourne Symphony Orchestra has
been appointed conductor of the Marr-
ickville Municipal Symphony Or-
chestra which is to be drastically
reorganised.
His leadership is expected to lift the
standards of this orchestra far above its
former modest levels of performance.
The appointment is regarded as the
most striking venture in suburban music
since the formation of the Associated
Music Clubs.
The Deputy Mayor of Marrickville,
Alderman Olsen, said yesterday that the
acoustics of the Marrickville Town Hall
would be improved. The orchestra would
probably give concerts in the Ashfield
and Petersham Town Halls also.
Public interest in Marrickville is
keen" he said, "and the full support
of the council and the public is assured."
The reorganised orchestra will consist
of 3I players mostly professional
musicians with a limited number of
amateurs. Good players are now being
sought for the first rehearsals, which
will begin soon.
The first concerts of the new ensemble
will be given towards the end of this
year. Twelve concerts are envisaged
for 1948. The repertoire will be classical.
Mr Beck, who is an outstandlng
violinist and conducts a regular com-
mercial programme over the air, was
highly praised by Eugene Ormandy, the
conductor of the Philadelphia Sym-
phony Orchestra, during Ormandy's
Australian tour.

Biogas Engines Generating Renewable Power From Cow Manure Methane
With the country working to develop cleaner, alternative energy sources, the U.S. dairy industry with sponsorship from GE Energy is convening the New York Dairy Power Summit in Syracuse, N.Y., this week. The summit brings together experts in dairy production, engineering, environmental science, financing, legislation and policy, and green energy business to accelerate opportunities for U.S. dairy farmers to use cow manure methane biogas to generate reliable, cost-effective renewable electricity.
Methane from manure is the second largest source of greenhouse gas emissions in the fluid milk value chain while also representing a largely untapped source of renewable energy.
According to the New York State Department of Agriculture & Markets, the state has 6,200 dairy farms with more than 600,000 dairy cows, but only 10,000 cows are utilized in energy production through the use of 12 methane digesters that generate 1.3 megawatts. Manure from approximately 2,500 cows can produce electrical output of 500kW—enough to power roughly 200 homes.
"The Dairy Power Summit is designed to jumpstart the development of additional digester projects in New York by making a bold commitment to action and establishing an ambitious goal for anaerobic digester biogas-to-energy project development through 2020 and committing to a strategy to reach those targets," said Roger George, general manager of GE Energy's gas engine business for North America. "New York's dairy farmers have an opportunity to tap into a new source of revenue that will simultaneously help the state increase its renewable energy production and lower its greenhouse gas emissions."
Based on what the Innovation Center for U.S. Dairy learns in New York at the Dairy Power Summit, programs similar to the New York pilot project will be rolled out across the nation.
MIT Amps Up Research to Reduce Methane Emissions by 2030
NASA Scientists Model the Primary Sources of Methane Around the Globe

During the conference, GE Energy will showcase its Jenbacher biogas engine technology that utilizes digester methane biogas to generate electricity, which is used to support the farm's onsite power requirements, as well as the regional grid, while helping to improve local air and water quality.
Coordinated by the Innovation Center for U.S. Dairy, the event near Syracuse, N.Y., will bring nearly 50 medium-to-large New York dairy farmers and well over 100 representatives from New York milk cooperatives, digester development companies, financial institutions, academia and local, state and federal governments to discuss ways to help New York increase the production of agricultural biogas.
According to the Innovation Center, the summit is part of its Dairy Power project, one of 12 projects that make up the U.S. dairy industry's roadmap to reducing greenhouse gas emissions across the entire dairy supply chain. The Dairy Power project aims to establish a national model for using methane digesters on dairy farms as a means of creating electricity and thereby reducing a farm's carbon footprint.
"We've estimated that this could generate $38 million in new revenue for dairy farmers around the country and offset 2 million tons of carbon dioxide equivalents (CO2e) annually by 2020," said Rick Naczi, executive vice president at Dairy Management Inc., which manages the national dairy check off program on behalf of the nation's dairy farmers. "Increased adoption of anaerobic digesters would not only expand local jobs and strengthen local economies, but move the U.S. toward creating a more sustainable food system."
The dairy industry has committed to reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 25 percent by 2020, which is equivalent to removing 1.25 million passenger cars off the road every year. For more information, visit usdairy.com/sustainability.
Under New York's "45 by 15" program, the state plans to receive 45 percent of its energy through energy efficiency and the production of renewable energy, including from digester biogas, by 2015.
