Thanks to all of you who participated in GAPS Friendly Fridays last week!
I decided to create GAPS Friendly Fridays because there are a lot of great GAPS, SCD, Paleo, and Real Food bloggers out there with GAPS legal recipes! You don't have to be on the GAPS diet to participate, but recipes that you post should be GAPS Legal.
If you have an SCD or Paleo recipe, it is most likely GAPS Legal or can very easily be modified to fit into the GAPS diet! The short version is that GAPS legal recipes are:
- All real food – no pre-processed ingredients
- Grain-Free (even alternate grains like quinoa and amaranth are excluded)
- Starchy veg free (no potatoes of any kind)
- The only sweeteners used are honey and fruit
- Only use aged cheeses such as parmesan, gouda, or cheddar, not fresh cheeses such as mozzarella or ricotta
- Adheres to the Weston A. Price Foundation's principles.
If you're unsure about a recipe, go ahead and email me at email@example.com and ask! I'm more than glad to check it out and suggest modifications if needed.
Don't feel like you have to limit yourself to recipes, though! We also love to see book reviews, cooking tips and strategies, recovery and/or setback stories, etc. Anything you think will help other folks on the GAPS diet is welcome.
A couple of rules:
- Please link back to this post somewhere in the body of your post.
- Make sure you post a link to your post, not to the front page of your blog.
- Leave a comment saying what you've shared!
Thanks for participating! Please share on facebook, twitter, or wherever else you like!

I just tried to install my LG GT540 with a KDZ file that I downloaded from a site, hoping that my problem with the Android Market would be fixed but nothing happened.
My problem is that I can't revert the phone back to its original interface. It now has a Vodafone on the background screen.
Any idea on how I can revert it back?

"Man is the only varmint who sets his own trap, baits it, then steps on it"................John Steinbeck
Randall J. Strossen holds a PhD. in psychology from Stanford. He has authored several books, is the editor of "Milo" and the head of Ironmind Enterprises, a world renowned strength training equipment manufacturer. He was once asked what the secret was to getting big and strong. His answer: "don't hurt yourself." I found this to be such a profound statement, I made a sign which hangs in my gym with those three words. Maybe I should have put the sign in a more conspicuous place..............
I am always looking for new pieces of training equipment. Something which will give me the "edge." My latest discovery was the boat cushion which I found at a thrift store for a dollar. It seemed like the perfect kicking target. Something that would offer feedback, have a fast return and if it didn't work out I would only be out a dollar. It even came with a hanging strap!
Well, actually two straps. I guess the person drowning is supposed to grab a strap in each hand and hang on as they float. "No need to cut the second strap", I thought. After all, a second strap would be a good backup when the first strap wears through.
So, I screwed a sturdy hook into a rafter, hung the pad on it and had an instant training partner.
The first roundhouse test kicks went well. I was pleased with myself. Some side kicks were in order. Somewhere around the third kick, I realized I should have secured the second strap. I managed to run my foot through the bottom strap and was snared like a giant turkey whose wishbone was about to be snapped. Then, I lost my balance. Another "this is gonna hurt" moment was about to happen as I headed down.
There must a martial arts guardian angel. Although I slammed my head and shoulders onto the floor, my snared foot slipped out. Any endeavor which doesn't break or tear some body part is successful I suppose. A smart man would learn to stop with the inventing, but I tend to see these things as challenges. Surely, I will do better with the next invention.
Uh, not exactly. "Bungee Man", was to be the crowning achievement of several decades of designing. The ultimate poor man's training partner. One who never tires or complains. Always ready for a workout regardless of the hour. He would be the ultimate tool - silent, so as not to wake the neighborhood - have a fast return yet, not wobble - and have that "just right" feel when struck.
I designed and re-designed like an eight year old engineer not quite yet aware of all that needs to be considered. It would be a masterpiece. I cut five strips of three-quarter inch thick plywood on my table saw. The basement smoke alarm went off a few times, but by now my wife had come to regard it as a warning I was using power tools. I really should sharpen the blade. The five plywood strips were about three feet long by six inches wide. I glued them together, one on top of the other and emerged from my smoky workshop with the perfect wooden dummy. I taped a piece of scrap carpet to the boards as a bit of padding. A heavy duty eye hook at each of the four outer corners and I was ready for the bungee cords.
I put two more eye hooks about six feet apart from each other into a rafter and directly below each I screwed an eye hook into the dojo floor. Bungee Man would be suspended from the rafter with two heavy duty bungee cords, and secured at the bottom with two more cords. It resembled a big "X" after I had it all assembled. I couldn't wait to test it.
I threw a light right punch into the center of the boards and to my disappointment, the thing oscillated horribly. I was crushed. Several hours of work down the drain and I was mad. I did what any mature craftsman would do with a not quite perfect project - I smoked a thunderous straight right into the center of Bungee Man.
My project sailed backwards a good four feet. I forgot that all this elastic energy would cause it to return just as hard as it went out. Karateka make the mistake of not pulling the fist back after a punch. My invention smashed my outstretched fist like a crazed Catholic nun and buckled my wrist. I was sort of lucky, it didn't break the wrist. I had sprained my wrist so many times on the heavy bag, I had become sort of an expert on wrist trauma. Despite some difficulty feeding myself for a few days, all was OK.
If you want to excel at a physical activity, nothing will impede progress more than an injury. And sometimes those injuries become permanent training partners. So, I've learned to be ever vigilant when it comes to training. Just because everyone else may be doing something doesn't mean I will. I will not train on a concrete floor. Mouth guard and eye protection are the rule. Staying hydrated is mandatory. Hurting gets old and it sometimes takes a lifetime to learn better.
In a fight, one must expect injuries. But in training, every cut, sprain, break, dislocation, tear and contusion takes you two steps backward for every step forward. There is a huge difference between training as hard as you can and knowing when to back off.
And, sometimes a little forethought is all that stands between you and serious injury.

Can you recommend any books, blogs or websites that are focused on Olympus and/or Four-Thirds (micro and standard) equipment?
closed as not constructive by mattdm, John Cavan, NickM, Paul Cezanne, Itai Feb 4 '13 at 20:47
As it currently stands, this question is not a good fit for our Q&A format. We expect answers to be supported by facts, references, or expertise, but this question will likely solicit debate, arguments, polling, or extended discussion. If you feel that this question can be improved and possibly reopened, visit the help center for guidance. If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
This is my go-to resource http://www.four-thirds.org/en/microft/.
At this site, you can find up-to-date news about the Micro Four Thirds industry (new cameras, technology breakthroughs, etc). They also lists the different cameras available in the Four Thirds and Micro Four Thirds formats. They appear to be sponsored by Olympus, but give seemingly unbiased information.
Could you add a couple of words why it's your favorite or what kind of info can be found there? Thanks! – Imre Nov 8 '11 at 10:10
4/3 rumors (http://www.43rumors.com/), while mainly about rumors for new products, also has a good bit of discussion about available lenses and ways to use these cameras.
Thom Hogan of http://www.bythom.com fame is also writing at http://www.sansmirror.com/. I find that he has some good reviews and some good insight as to what 4/3rds is currently good at and where it needs to improve.
The forum section at http://www.dpreview.com/ tends to focus on equipment. Checkout "Olympus DSLR Talk" and "Micro Four Thirds Talk".

'King of Beers,' Fizzling in U.S., Sets Goal of World Domination
Anheuser-Busch InBev is making a bold move into China, the largest and most elusive prize
ZIYANG, China—Little of the Western world has infiltrated this dusty city in China's rural hinterland, where red lanterns hang from lampposts and restaurants serve pig tail and duck neck. But Americans would recognize a beer increasingly making the rounds here: Budweiser, which flows from a state-of-the-art brewery built below a hilltop pagoda.
Advertisements for the 137-year-old brand from St. Louis, Mo., drape the windows of a banquet hall, trumpeting the year of the snake. The walls, floors and stairs of a karaoke bar are...

Waldorf Window Stars
What a perfect craft activity (craftivity) for a cold winter day,
Waldorf Window Stars!
The Frog Princess is at home (sick) from school today,
so we spent Mini-Saurus' nap time folding star points with kite paper from this wonderful kit.
My own (awesome artist) mama ordered it for me from Palumba.
(go to their site and it will become one of your favorites, I promise!)
I learned how to fold and assemble the stars from Garden Mama's blog.
She has wonderful step-by-step instructions with beautiful photos here.
Rainbow-y Goodness!
Oh kite paper, how I love thee...
The Frog Princess said that staying home with me and folding stars
is more fun than doing math at school...
is more fun than doing math at school...
I agree.
I would rather eat pancakes for lunch, play legos, and fold rainbow stars
with my sweet little girls any day.

On a cold, foggy Wednesday, students, activists and professionals continued to protest at central Delhi's Jantar Mantar against the gang rape, and subsequent death, of a 23-year-old girl on a moving bus in Delhi last month.
The crowds have thinned from the large numbers seen in the past but the enthusiasm of those still ensconced in Jantar Mantar seemed undiminished. The crowd Wednesday was a few hundred.
People chanted slogans against the government for its perceived inaction in preventing cases of rape and being unable to better protect women in the capital. Some held placards demanding the death penalty for rapists.
"It's been 16 days since the rape has happened," said Amit Mahajan, 34, who works for a Delhi-based company. "What is the one simple thing that the government has done in this regard as of now?"
Another protester said he was disappointed crowds were thinning.
"We are a bit disappointed that people are getting tired and restless but we are hopeful people will come back to Jantar Mantar," said Mohit Kumar, 25, a lawyer.
Biting cold weather may also have played a part in reducing the number of protesters.
The protest venue shifted to Jantar Mantar over the past several days, after cops and protesters clashed with each other at the larger, higher-profile venue of India Gate on Dec. 20. Over the past several days, police shut down many metro rail stations and some roads to make it difficult for protesters to reach central Delhi, where most government offices are located.
The rape and the issues it has raised has received blanket coverage in the Indian media. Television news channels continue to spend a large part of their daily programming with extensive reporting on the Delhi case and other incidents reported across the country.
The public outcry has led politicians, including the prime minister, to say laws need to be amended and other steps taken to reduce the number of such incidents.
Some protesters vowed to continue notwithstanding dip in numbers. "I feel sad the crowd is shrinking but we will fight it out. I will ensure the movement continues," said Nishi Sharma, who works for a bank.

Out of 46 years in ministry, the pastor of Agape Fellowship Church in Meridian says he has never experienced what happened to him Sunday.
'Never in all my ministry,' says Pastor Gary Bickford.
Members of his congregation contacted Newscenter 11 about an incident which they say happened during the church's Homecoming Service at Bonita Lakes Park. For the occasion, the church rented a popular pavilion. About thirty minutes into the service they say a police officer approached the pastor about turning down the music.
'She said, 'We've had some complaints that you're too loud.' I said, 'O.K.' So, I motioned the sound man and he turned the sound down; she said, 'A little more,' and I turned it down. She said, 'One more time,' and I turned it down.'
After that, Bickford says the officer left but returned about fifteen to twenty minutes later requesting proof that the church had rented the space.
"I walked back there and showed her the receipt and she took it in her hand and looked at it. She was standing there and said, 'Sir, my sergeant, my watch commander, is on his way out here and he's going to arrest you.' I said, 'Arrest me for what?!' She said, 'For disturbing the peace.' I said, 'Ma'am, you asked me to cut it down and I did,' and I said, 'If he's going to arrest me then, why don't you just take me now and I stuck my hands out. I said, 'Just go ahead and arrest me."
The U.S. Constitution references the issue of religion in the First Amendment: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."
Bickford and some other members of the congregation say the Constitution proves that the officer violated the law, not the pastor.
'This is not something where some pastor has done something wrong. It was all right, she said, after we turned it (the music) down. We complied, but to come back again and start this other stuff, interrupt a preaching worship service. It's illegal to do that.'
Ultimately, another officer did arrive at the scene, but no arrest was made and no further action was taken. Bickford says he feels the officer was not abiding by police department guidelines, but instead acting on her own.
'I think this lady was totally out of line,' Bickford said. "I think she owes me and the church an apology.'
Chief James Reed with the Meridian Police Department says he plans to talk to Bickford about the matter.

The use of onomatopoeia and alliteration are abundant in children's literature and can easily be identified by our youngest learners so they are both perfect crafts to start with when teaching writing. Begin by selecting mentor texts containing onomatopoeia- some books may be filled with onomatopoeia while others may contain just one or two choice examples.
possible mentor texts for this craft...
Encourage your students to find differences in the ways the different books use onomatopoeia. Guide them to see the various distinctions between the kinds of onomatopoeia used in books such as animal sounds, indoor sounds, nature sounds, action sounds, etc. A Tree Map would be a great way to chart these different types of sound words.
Have students close their eyes and listen for the different sounds around them for 30 seconds. Then have them share the sounds they heard. Chart their ideas. As a class come up with an onomatopoeic word to describe the sound. For example: "tap, tap, tap" or "scratch, scratch" or "eeek, eeek, eeek", etc. Chart the new words with pictures that match the sounds. Take students outside the classroom to find new sounds. Stop periodically and draw their attention to new sounds.
As a class, create a shared writing piece based on a class listening walk. Use the book The Listening Walk as a model for the piece. Invite students to give onomatopoeic words to fill in the sentences. Transfer the story to smaller sheets of paper. Then have students work together to illustrate the sentences.
This is a kindergarten example from the book.
This craft is a great place to start because it is so readily found in children's books, children can relate to it, and it brings the writing down to 1-3 words. If you know of other great mentor texts for teaching onomatopoeia please share them in a comment below.

Adobe CS5 Illustrator Clipping Masks
Adobe Creative Suite 5 (Adobe CS5) Illustrator includes the Clipping Mask functionality. Similar to peering through a hole in a piece of paper to the objects underneath it, a clipping mask allows a topmost object to define the selected shapes underneath it; with a clipping mask, however, the area around the defining shape is transparent.
You may recall what a film mask looks like — it's black to block out the picture and clear where you want to view an image.
The clipping mask feature in Adobe CS5 Illustrator uses the same principle as the conventional film mask. It hides the area outside the mask area.
Choose File→Place to place an image.
Masks work with objects created in Illustrator and with objects placed (scanned or otherwise imported) there.
Create the item you want to use as a mask by using the Pen tool to create a shape or a closed path.
For example, the circle is the mask. (The photo underneath it is the placed image from Step 1.) The circle is placed where the mask will be created. The shape's color, fill, and stroke values don't matter because they automatically change to None when you create a mask.
Note: When creating a clipping mask, make sure that the object to be used as a mask is a closed shape and is at the top of the stacking order.Position the mask shape over the object.
Use the Selection tool to select the placed image and the shape.
Shift-click to add an object to the selection.
Choose Object→Clipping Mask→Make.
Alternatively, you can use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+7 (Windows) or Command+7 (Mac) to create the clipping mask.
Ta-da! You created the clipping mask. Masked items are grouped, but you can use the Direct Selection tool to move the image or mask individually.
To turn off the clipping mask, choose Object→Clipping Mask→Release.
You can also use text as a clipping mask: Type a word and ensure that it's positioned over an image or another Illustrator object (or objects). Then select both the text and the object and choose Object→Clipping Mask→Make.

Silicon Designs Inc. – Joining Silicon Designs' 2210 series of single-axis accelerometer modules is a ±5-g model intended to support a variety of lower-frequency aerospace, automotive, defense, industrial, and general test and measurement requirements. The 2210-005 incorporates MEMS capacitive sensing elements packaged within a lightweight anodized epoxy-sealed aluminum housing that occupies a total footprint of just 1 square in.
The accelerometer has a simple four-wire connection and internal voltage regulator to minimize supply-voltage variation effects. It is relatively insensitive to temperature changes and features high-drive, low-impedance buffering to support low-frequency acceleration measurement requirements from DC to 400 Hz.
All models in the 2210 series produce two analog voltage outputs, which vary with acceleration. You can choose either 0.5-V to 4.5-V single-ended or ±4-V differential output, which doubles the sensitivity over single-ended output. Differential sensitivity for the 2210-005 is 800 mV/g.
The sensitive axis is perpendicular to the bottom of the package, with positive acceleration defined as a force pushing on the bottom of the package. Signal outputs are fully differential about a common-mode voltage of approximately 2.5 V. Output scale factor is independent from the supply voltage of +9 V to +32 V.

Warner Bros. is positioning itself to be a major digital distributor of independent movies through cable video-on-demand services worldwide.
The studio has signed a handful of deals with indie companies including Gravitas Ventures and Image Entertainment to put out feature films and documentaries on cable, satellite and telco VOD systems across the U.S. and in other territories where Warner distributes digital movies.
Warner Bros. additionally said it has deals with Oscilloscope Laboratories, Wolfe Video, First Look Studios, Full Moon Entertainment, Marvista Entertainment and Lantern Lane Entertainment and is continuing to sign more.
Films included under the deal include Oscilloscope's "Wendy and Lucy," out earlier this summer on DVD; Image's "Management," starring Jennifer Aniston; First Look's TV movie "Labor Pains," with Lindsay Lohan; Full Moon horror pic "Puppet Master: The Legacy"; Image's gritty "Powder Blue," with Jessica Biel and Ray Liotta; and Lantern Lane documentary "Valentino: The Last Emperor."
The move provides independent film companies access to new parts of the VOD business with Warner's promotional muscle and also broadens the range of content available through cable VOD.
"This is a way just to grow the business," said Thomas Gewecke, president of Warner Bros. Digital Distribution.
Gewecke said the studio, already a leading distributor of digital content with the Warner library, was motivated by a growing demand for VOD content.
Video-on-demand and digital sales for the first half of the year came in at $968 million, according to nonprofit trade consortium DEG: The Digital Entertainment Group. That is still relatively small compared with the $5 billion in sales logged by DVD and Blu-ray in the same period, but VOD and digital sales are growing. Gewecke said the digital and VOD companies through which Warner distributes its films are eager to offer viewers more content, which in turn could lure in even more viewers.
Warner will handle everything from encoding and digitizing films to promoting and marketing them to consumers as well as tracking sales — all services many smaller companies don't have the infrastructure to handle. Gewecke said the studio will leverage its own infrastructure to get smaller films more exposure.
While Warner is signing a broad range of distribution deals, the studio is being choosy about which films it agrees to distribute. Gewecke said it's all dependent on what the studio thinks will rent and sell well.
Some of the independents for which the studio acts as a distributor are also choosing to release films simultaneously on VOD and DVD, following Warner's lead.
Warner has been the most aggressive studio in putting films out on VOD, tightening the standard 30-day window between a pic's DVD release and its VOD debut for most of its films in an effort to boost digital revenues. Warner has said tests with Comcast and Time Warner Cable have shown that simultaneous releases boost VOD sales without cutting into DVD sales. It does have a slightly negative impact on DVD rentals, but the studio makes better margins on VOD rentals.

Total bullshit.
Maurice Greenberg, according to the bios available on the internet, was born in the USA. In WW2 he fought in the US Army, took part in the liberation of Dachau.
So, the first statement of the video, that he claimed he lost his parents in Auschwitz, is a lie. Take the credibility of the rest of the video from there.
The title of the video: "Israel & US being controlled by Nazi War Criminals?" is a laugh. No, Israel and the US are being controlled by Jewish War Criminals.
Now, the American Jewry, who pretty much controls the USA, would hardly allow a Josef Mengele to get rich and all-powerful in the USA, irrespective of whether the Holocaust horror stories of the Nazis gassing 6 million Jews are true or false.
To sum it up in short: the video is a typical pathetic try of blaming even today's ills on the sorry old Nazis. Anything goes except blaming the Jews...

Maurice Raymond "Hank" Greenberg was born May 4, 1925 in New York City, the son of a Jewish candy store owner Jacob Greenberg. His father died when he was seven and his mother, Ada Rheingold, married a dairy farmer who lived in the Catskill mountains. Greenberg lied about his age in 1942, claiming he was seventeen, so that he could enlist in the Army. He later became an Army Ranger, landing on Omaha Beach on D-Day and participating in the liberation of Dachau in 1945.

{ 1855 }
Penn State is chartered by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. The charter names 13 individuals to serve as the institution's founding Trustees.
The Charter
The charter that created The Pennsylvania State University in 1855 also determined the nature and purpose of the institution's Board of Trustees. The University itself was the product of years of planning by the Pennsylvania State Agricultural Society, which advocated formation of a college that would promote the application of scientific knowledge and methods to agriculture--a novel concept for its era.
The charter established a thirteen-member Board of Trustees to assume responsibility for Penn State's establishment and provide overall governance of the institution. Nine of the original Board members were stipulated by name in the charter. All had participated in the effort to found the new college. The nine were divided into three groups, each group serving one-, two-, and three-year terms, respectively. As each term expired, delegates from the state and county agricultural societies elected Trustees to serve three-year terms.
The four ex officio Trustees consisted of the institution's president, the president of the state agricultural society, and two state officials: the governor, and the secretary of the Commonwealth. Although Penn State was chartered as a private entity, the state agricultural society (also a private body) had urged the governor and legislature to commit public resources in support of the new institution, since it directly benefited the public welfare. The state subsequently provided funds to help construct the original Old Main building, the first and for many years only structure on campus.
Establishing the Spirit of Philanthropy at Penn State
From Penn State's founding in 1855, members of the Board of Trustees have given generously not only of their time and expertise to help advance the University, but in many cases they have taken leadership roles as philanthropists.
When the construction of Old Main, the first building on campus, ran short of funds, Trustee Hugh McAllister stepped in with several thousand dollars from his own pocket and donations from other Trustees to keep the work going.
McAllister, an attorney and gentleman farmer from nearby Bellefonte, gave unstintingly of his energy as the "local Trustee" to look after all the practical details of founding a new school. Thanks largely to his hard work and generosity, it was up and running in time to greet the first students and faculty in 1859. Today's McAllister Building honors his dedication to Penn State.
The First Board Chairman
Attorney, business leader and gentleman farmer Frederick Watts of Carlisle was elected the Board chairman.
As head of the state agricultural society, he had been the principal advocate for a college of scientific agriculture. He led the way in working with state government officials to secure approval of the charter.
Penn State historian Wayland Dunaway has written that "more than any other man, perhaps, Watts deserves the title of 'founder' of Penn State."
Decisions with Huge Implications
Chairman Watts and the other Trustees made two decisions that had huge implications for Penn State's future.
First, they decided to accept ironmaster James Irvin's offer to donate 200 acres of land in Centre County for a campus. Trustee Hugh McAllister designed and oversaw construction of Old Main and made frequent trips to campus to make sure the hundreds of practical needs of founding a college were met.
Penn State admitted its first students in 1859.
Second, the Trustees recruited agricultural chemist Evan Pugh as the first president. Largely as the result of Pugh's urging, the Pennsylvania legislature in 1863 designated Penn State as the Commonwealth's sole land-grant institution.
Passed by Congress the previous year, the Land-Grant Act mandated designated institutions to offer instruction in agriculture, engineering and related subjects, and at a price that was affordable by citizens of ordinary means. In return, land-grant institutions would receive income from endowments created by the sale of federal lands.
The Land-Grant Act set in motion a revolution in higher education, with its emphasis on education for the masses that was geared to the nation's economic as well as intellectual needs. Pugh was one of the key architects of the act. His untimely death in 1864 created a difficult situation for Penn State, as succeeding presidents and Trustees struggled to define what a land-grant institution should be, and how to win the public's confidence in such a novel concept.
Engineering was slow to take root, while agriculture proved far less attractive to prospective students than originally anticipated. Land-grant institutions in other states faced similar struggles. Penn State's enrollment dwindled to barely a handful of students.
{ 1875 }
Reflecting the institution's reach beyond agriculture, the charter is amended to add representatives elected by the alumni and by the state's business and industry associations, bringing total board membership to 23.
Defining Land-Grant Education
In an effort to build a broad base of support for the institution, the Trustees decided that their number should be more representative of the groups served by the Pennsylvania State College, as the institution was then known. In 1875, they obtained approval from the Centre County Court of Common Pleas to amend the charter to provide for twenty-three Trustees. The change increased state influence, decreased agriculture's voice, and gave representation to the alumni.
The amended charter specified that fifteen Trustees were to be elected: three by the alumni, and twelve by delegates from the state's agricultural societies, and mining and manufacturing associations--the latter were areas in which Penn State graduates were beginning to make their mark.
The number of ex officio Trustees was increased to eight: the governor, the secretary of the Commonwealth, the state superintendent of public instruction, the secretary of the Department of Internal Affairs, the adjutant general, the secretary of the Philadelphia-based Franklin Institute, the president of the state agricultural society, and the college president.
The Impact of General Beaver and President Atherton
In 1882, the Trustees made one of the most momentous decisions in their history: they selected George Atherton as Penn State's seventh president.
Atherton, already a nationally recognized authority on land-grant education, also proved to be a capable administrator. During his twenty-four-year tenure at Penn State, the college became a model of land-grant education. It created one of the first agricultural experiment stations on any campus, for example, and launched an ambitious program of engineering education just as Pennsylvania was emerging as the nation's industrial power house.
Atherton worked closely with Trustee James A. Beaver of Bellefonte to solidify Penn State's standing in Harrisburg. Beaver, an attorney and Civil War hero, was active in politics—he served a term (1887-91) as governor—and enjoyed considerable esteem on both sides of the aisle.
Thanks largely to the harmonious relations the Trustees cultivated with state leaders, the College began receiving a regular series of state appropriations and special allotments for new buildings, enabling it to develop the campus beyond the single Old Main building.
Beaver also was Hugh McAllister's son-in-law. He took McAllister's place in the informal role of "local Trustee" and visited the campus frequently. He was much beloved by students, many of whom he came to know by name. When he secured state support for new athletic facilities, the students responded by naming Beaver Field in his honor. He was elected Board chairman in 1898 and held that post until his death in 1914.
Growing National Prominence
Penn State's growing importance to the state and nation in the late nineteenth century was evidenced by the election to the Board of a number of prominent business leaders, such as steel magnates Andrew Carnegie (who served 1886-1916) and Charles Schwab (1902-1930).
In view of Penn State's growth, the Trustees believed their number should be further expanded to make the Board still more representative of the varied constituencies served by the College. In 1905, the legislature approved a request to set the total number of Trustees at thirty-one.
Ex officio membership was limited to four: the governor, the college president, the superintendent of public instruction, and the state secretary of agriculture (succeeding the former state agricultural society president).
The governor was empowered to appoint six Trustees. Alumni chose nine Trustees, while delegates from Pennsylvania's agricultural and industrial societies each elected six Trustees.
The Generosity of Carnegie and Schwab
In the late nineteenth century, Penn State blossomed as a land-grant institution and graduated hundreds of alumni who met the needs of a rapidly industrializing nation for highly educated leaders in business and technology.
While the state made regular appropriations, those funds were insufficient to meet the needs for additional buildings. Carnegie and Schwab stepped forward with gifts that underwrote construction of a library and an auditorium, respectively, that bear their names and have long been campus architectural gems.
{ 1905 }
Board of Trustees membership is increased to 31, including 9 elected by the alumni and, for the first time, 6 appointed by the governor.
A Trustee Provides for Engineering
When the need for a building for electrical engineering education became critical, Trustees Chairman James A. Beaver made a donation and obtained additional private gifts to build Engineering Unit F in 1908.
It was an unadorned structure, intended to be a stopgap until state funds could be found to build a permanent home for electrical engineering. Yet it lasted for nearly a half century, serving a variety of important purposes for engineering and outreach education.
The First Campaign
In the early 1920s, Penn State was turning away highly qualified students. It simply had no room for them—residence halls, classrooms and laboratories were overflowing.
Trustees Chairman Howard Walton Mitchell '90, College President John Martin Thomas and other Trustees considered the possibility of asking the alumni and others in the private sector for philanthropic aid. There was some concern in the greater Penn State community as to whether the state's public land-grant institution should actively seek private support, but the Trustees believed that the University's physical plant needs were critical.
The Board thereupon gave its blessing to the Emergency Building Fund campaign, launched in 1922. The campaign secured $1.7 million in commitments, which combined with later state appropriations helped to make possible the construction of such landmark structures as the new Old Main, Rec Hall, West Halls, and additional classroom, laboratory and support buildings.
{ 1926 }
Governor Gifford Pinchot appoints the first female Trustee, Clara Calhoun Phillips, who serves a total of seventeen years on the Board.
{ 1939 }
Legislation is enacted to add the secretary of mines as a fifth ex officio Trustee. (The secretary of mines has since been superseded by the secretary of the Department of Conservation and Natural Resources, and the secretary of the Department of Education has superseded the superintendent of public instruction.)
{ 1969 }
H. Jesse Arnelle '55, elected by the alumni, becomes the first African American Trustee. A former Nittany Lions basketball All-American and student government president, Arnelle would later serve two terms (1996 and 1997) as Board chairman.
The Board Takes the Lead in a Tumultuous Era
The late 1960s and early 1970s were tumultuous years that witnessed widespread protests against America's involvement in Vietnam and for civil rights for all citizens. A wave of unrest swept over college campuses.
These protests often manifested themselves as antagonism toward a perceived "establishment" that was unresponsive to change.
At Penn State, several Board chairmen responded by taking the lead in changing some long-held Trustees practices, resulting in a higher public profile for the body within the University community.
{ 1971 }
Board Chairman G. Albert Shoemaker '23 changes the frequency of Trustee meetings from semi-annually to seven times a year, later reduced to six, a schedule the board continues to follow.
{ 1971 }
Governor Milton Shapp begins the custom of naming a Penn State student to the Board as one of the gubernatorial appointments. Undergraduate Student Government President Benson M. Lichtig '72 is the first student Trustee.
{ 1974 }
Board Chairman Michael Baker '36 opens board meetings to the public. The first such meeting is held September 20, 1974, in Keller Building with about twenty-five members of the public in attendance.
{ 1976 }
Board Chairman William Ulerich '31 opens standing committee meetings to the public. Agendas are made public in advance of meetings. A veteran newspaper man, Ulerich welcomes journalists to attend.
Meetings Beyond University Park
By the 1980s, the Board affirmed as a regular custom holding two of their meetings each year at locations other than University Park.
Typically, the March meeting is convened at Penn State Milton S. Hershey Medical Center and the July meeting at one of the other twenty-two Penn State campuses throughout Pennsylvania.
Exceptions to the custom are occasionally made when the Board has met in Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, or even New York City or Washington, D.C., to strengthen person-to-person relationships with influential alumni, government and corporate leaders, or philanthropists.
Board Leads The Campaign for Penn State
In 1984, sixty years after the first capital campaign, the Board of Trustees again helped to lead the way by approving The Campaign for Penn State. Trustee William A. Schreyer '48 served as volunteer chair of the campaign, which secured $352 million over six years. The Trustees alone accounted for $16 million in gifts, far exceeding the $10 million goal set by the campaign leadership.
{ 1991 }
Mimi Barash Coppersmith '54 is elected as the first female chair of the Board of Trustees. First elected to the board in 1976, she serves two terms as chair.
Trustees Captain Grand Destiny Campaign
Trustee Edward R. Hintz '59 served as volunteer chair for the first five years of the Grand Destiny campaign, a seven-year effort launched in 1996 to secure a billion dollars in private support for student aid, faculty endowments, new buildings and a variety of other needs across the academic spectrum at all Penn State campuses.
Once more, individual Trustees, including emeritus members, showed their deep personal commitment to the University: Board philanthropy totaled $90 million and included 100 percent participation by members.
Led by Trustee James Broadhurst '65 in its final two years, the Grand Destiny campaign as a whole raised nearly $1.4 billion.
{ 2002 }
The Board convenes in Washington, D.C., for its first meeting outside Pennsylvania, to strengthen relationships with government leaders and alumni.
Board Backs For the Future
The University is now engaged in For the Future: The Campaign for Penn State Students, a $2 billion effort. Even prior to launching For the Future's public phase in 2010, the campaign received 100 percent participation from the Board of Trustees.
The Fundamental Obligation
While the Board of Trustees' composition has changed over the past century and a half, and its meeting locations have varied, its fundamental obligation to define Penn State's goals and oversee the policies and procedures that will achieve those goals has never changed.
The Trustees have participated in virtually every major decision involving the University, ranging from selecting the institution's president to setting tuition, from creating new academic and administrative units to shaping annual budgets. The Trustees by their vision and their example have helped to establish and nurture a spirit of philanthropy at Penn State.
That spirit has inspired alumni and friends to participate as well, creating a strong foundation for future generations of Penn Staters. The legacy of the Board is the legacy of the University itself.

Moses Levi, the rapper known as Shyne, saw his career cut short when he was jailed on a 10-year-sentence on charges related to a 1999 incident also involving Sean "Diddy" Combs and Jennifer Lopez.
Diddy – then known as "Puff Daddy" – was acquitted, and with Shyne's sentence now finished, the rapper has denied that his former mentor spoke with him recently to clear the air.

"My client wants to make it very clear that no such conversation between Mr. Combs and he ever occurred," Oscar Michelen, Shyne's attorney, said in a statement to Access Hollywood.
According to the lawyer, Shyne told him that the conversation, which Diddy cited on New York radio station Hot 97 last week, did not in fact occur.

"I want it known that this supposed conversation is a figment of Sean Combs' imagination," Shyne said. "He never spoke with me, he never visited me nor would I ever accept a phone call or visit from him. The only way I would do either of those things would be if he stepped up and did the right thing for the victims of the incident."
Michelen, too, also denied knowledge of such a conversation.
"I was very surprised to hear Mr. Combs' claims about talking with my client since I speak to Shyne all the time and he never mentioned anything about it," he said.

"Knowing how he feels about Mr. Combs I know that it would have been very strange for Shyne to have spoken with him and not told anyone."
Shyne, released from jail earlier this week, remains in custody at the Buffalo Federal Detention Facility pending the possibility of deportation.
The rapper, a former Bad Boy recording artist mentored by Diddy, released one album on the label during his sentence, the gold-selling "Shyne." A second album, "Godfather Buried Alive," was released on Def Jam in 2004.

Minimally invasive 'balloon sinuplasty' has a mom breathing easy again
Katia Boudouvas and her daughter, Anastasia, 2, spent most of this summer enjoying long days playing in the park. That's not an unusual activity for a family but it wasn't something Katia could enjoy for a long time.
Boudouvas, 31, spent most of the past decade suffering from severe chronic sinus infections and the accompanying severe congestion and pounding headaches. Though treated with antibiotics, decongestants and steroids, she still got sick almost monthly. The bouts grew more frequent and severe after her daughter was born.
Through a friend, she was referred to the Cedars-Sinai Sinus Center, where she was examined by medical director Martin Hopp, MD. Hopp, a pioneer in sinus surgery, determined that her problems could be cared for with a relatively new technique: balloon sinuplasty. It's a tissue-sparing, minimally invasive option to treat chronic sinusitis.
Boudouvas chose to undergo the procedure at Cedars-Sinai as Hopp and his colleagues are among the most experienced in the technique in Southern California. She hoped the treatment would relieve her of her severe headaches, congestion and infections.
Experts say an estimated 30 million people in the United States suffer from sinusitis, an inflammation of the sinuses and nasal passages. This infection can cause headaches, pressure in the eyes, nose and cheek area and often is accompanied by a cough, nasal congestion and fever. Those with allergies are more prone to the condition.
Chronic sinusitis can occur repeatedly and can last for months at a time. While antibiotics and other medications can address symptoms, surgery often is called for so the sinuses can drain normally.
Balloon sinuplasty employs a special balloon to gently enlarge the sinuses. Surgeons insert the deflated balloon into the sinus cavity, then expand it carefully, stretching the tissue. This technique is minimally invasive, preserves more tissue and takes less time than conventional surgery. Patients typically see immediate improvement and lasting results.
"Essentially, the balloon dilates or stretches the 'door frame' of the sinus tissue to make it wider, while the conventional surgery chips away at the frame," Hopp explains.
When a blockage isn't reachable by balloon, the technique is often used in conjunction with conventional surgery.
"This technique allows for much less tissue removal, shorter healing times, less scarring, and minimal post-operative discomfort as compared to traditional surgery," Hopp says. "With the balloon, we can deliver the same result – less congestion, end of chronic infections and better overall health – but it's much easier on the patient."
Hopp leads the Sinus Center's multidisciplinary team, which includes: ear, nose and throat specialists; allergists; pulmonologists; and radiologists. He teaches the balloon sinuplasty technique around the country and was the first surgeon in the Western United States to perform image-guided endoscopic sinus surgery. The Sinus Center offers complete diagnostic, treatment and management services for children and adults with nasal and sinus problems.

Over on Kickstarter there's a nifty stand - that fits all sorts of tablets - just crying out for you to invest a dollar or more to put it into production. Apparently it sucks onto the back of the tablet, with the other end clamped to a table like a vice, or with magnets or even with another suction cap if you'd rather stick it to the window.
Unlike a lot of the other ingenious tablet stands we've seen before, the Bendi gives the user full control over the angle it's positioned in, something you can try out for yourself if you commit to investing at least $US49, as creator Eric Mann will give you a Bendi as thanks for your help.

Sir Paul McCartney: Beatles iTunes Debut Imminent
All you need is love--and 99 cents a track. After years of doing battle with their trademark-infringement arch nemesis, Apple, The Beatles (or what's left of them) finally seem ready to kiss, make up, and offer their tracks through iTunes.
Sir Paul McCartney, the bass-playing half of the band's surviving members, reportedly gave the OK to release the group's back catalog through Apple's popular music download service, according to The Independent. For its part, The Beatles' Apple Corp. issued a "no comment." Apple Computers, meanwhile, suggested the buzz was just "rumor and speculation."
Naturally, such hastily issued bulletins of corporate speak did little to curb fan enthusiasm for the seemingly inevitable debut. It will no doubt prove the most spectacular back-catalog reissue in the history of electronic music distribution.

In addition, many natural products known to have anti-tumour properties comprise a similar substructure, including isoindolobenzazepine alkaloids (e.g., lennoxamine, chileamine) and aristolactam alkaloids(e.g piperolactams).

American McGee's Oz trilogy
January 27, 2004
Jerry Bruckheimer has bought the movie rights to American McGee's Oz, a game not even released yet (though highly anticipated by those of us who swooned over American McGee's Alice). The new news is that Bruckheimer plans to turn the game into a complete trilogy of movies. Could be interesting…very interesting.

It's no secret that Google's products often fail to win the hearts and minds of mass-market consumers the way Apple's do.
Importantly, this failure generally has nothing to do with the technology that powers Google's products, which is often amazing.
Rather, it's the result of weaker product design.
Google TV, for example, was an absurdly complex flop that was apparently designed for consumers who have been dying to buy a TV that is as complicated as a computer (all four of them).
Google's email system, Gmail, for years forced consumers to use a "conversations" format that geeks raved about but that confused normal people who liked good old email.
Google's Android operating system, meanwhile, despite having many technological advantages over Apple's iOS, is still harder and more complicated to use that Apple's offering.
The common thread of these anecdotes is that Google designs its products for geeky technologists, while Apple designs for normal humans.
And it turns out that geeky technologists are a small, weird niche of the broader consumer market, which is making it harder for Google to become a beloved mass-market brand.
The difference between Google's product design and Apple's product design starts with the difference between the types of people each company places the highest value on.
Google has an engineering culture, in which brilliant technologists are the rock stars.
Apple, meanwhile, has a product-design and marketing culture, in which "technology" merely serves to support a product's function and form.
More specifically, Google, which is led by founders and executives who posted amazing grades at the country's top universities, is legendary for hiring only the smartest people it can find--with Google's definition of "smart" being based on the applicant's GPA at a top university and the applicant's ability to handle interview questions that would flummox the vast majority of human beings.
Apple, meanwhile, was founded and built by a college drop-out who credited LSD and calligraphy with inspiring more of his product-design genius than anything he ever learned in school.
Like most people who work at Google, Steve Jobs was brilliant, but he likely never would have been able to get hired at Google. The Google hiring algorithm would have taken one look at his flaky educational background and concluded that he would never have amounted to anything.
Steve Jobs's genius, in other words, was a sort of genius that Google places little or no value on.
But if Google is to become a beloved mass-market brand, it's also the sort of genius that Google needs a lot more of. And the place to find that genius is probably not the country's most prestigious computer engineering programs.
BI's Matt Lynley recently posted a series of charts from LinkedIn that show the different emphases Google and Apple use when making their hiring and staffing decisions.
Both Apple and Google have their pick of students from any universities in the country.
And nowhere is the difference between the two companies more visible than in the schools they choose to recruit from.
Google, not surprisingly, hires mainly people who attended the country's top engineering universities, like Stanford and MIT:
Apple, meanwhile, has its share of Stanford folks, but its primary source of talent is San Jose State:
I'm going to guess that Google does not employ all that many people who went to San Jose State. And I'm going to further guess that Google does not employ them because Google does not consider them smart enough or accomplished enough to work at Google.
But it seems safe to say that most mass-market consumers--the folks Google hopes will one day love its products as much as they love Apple products--are less like people who went to MIT (Googlers) than they are like people who went to San Jose State.
So I'm going to suggest, respectfully, that if Google wants to design products that are as beloved by normal people as Apple's products are, it might want to hire a college dropout or two. Or at least a few more folks who went to universities like San Jose State.

Yesterday, in my preview of the Germany-Argentina match I wrote, "One way or the other, I like the Germans in this match, but they probably will have their hands full." "Hands full" turned out to be an understatement; "one way or the other" was about right. Germany won on penalty kicks after 120 minutes of deadlock. This was one of the most interesting soccer matches I've ever seen, and I'd love to write an essay about it. Perhaps the time is better spent looking ahead to tomorrow's matches, however.
The first match is England-Portugal. In terms of talent, this one is about even, but Portgual has played better than England throughout the competition and to me is the favorite. The match-ups aren't bad for England, though. If Gary Neville plays and is fit, he and Ashley Cole may be able to limit the damage caused by Portugal's great wingers. And Terry and Ferdinand should cope pretty well with Portugal's lone striker, Pauleta. Portugal thrives on the runs of Deco and Maniche from midfield into the penalty box. However, Deco is suspended for tomorrow's game. England nonetheless will probably stick with a fifth midfielder which may help negate Maniche but will impair its own attack. Thus, a low scoring match seems likely (a fairly safe bet in any competitive World Cup match). History suggests that England will raise its game to the level of this quality opponent and then find some heart-breaking way to lose.
The other match, Brazil-France, features the last two World Cup winners. More than half of Brazil's starters were mainstays for the 2002 champions and (if memory serves) five of France's starters featured in 1998. Therein lies the problem for France — I'm not sure that the older players, Zidane in particular, will match the fitness and intensity they displayed in their inspired win over Spain on Tuesday. Moreover, Brazil is a much tougher opponent, and for all of their flair, a far less naive one.
Brazil appears to have a weakness, though. As one of the ESPN commentators has noted, there is too much free space for opponents up front between center backs Lucio and Juan. The commentator (Marcelo Balboa, I think) makes it sound like it's the fault of the center backs. In reality, the problem is that Juan must range almost all the way to the touch line to cover for the maruading Roberto Carlos for whom left-back is largely a mailing address. France will have the opportunity to exploit this problem through the exciting right winger Ribery. If he pulls Juan over, then the middle could open up for Henry and Zidane. That said, I still like Brazil.
