1983 - Roger Stern's rundown of the first couple of years of the West Coast Avengers
2 comments:
Thanks for the interesting background stuff on WCA. Wow, I don't remember them starting so early in the 80's. I remember them as a mid to late 80's thing, and I had forgotten that Stern/Grunwald were the masterminds behind it. It's really nice to see Sterns notes being the master of character development that he is. His Avengers run with Buscema/Palmer and his Doc Strange run are some of the best runs of those titles, ever. And noone developed characters so well and invisibly as he did.ReplyDelete
Man, that was really interesting. I love seeing "behind the scenes" stuff of comics; scripts, notes, and what not. The future plans is what I find most interesting. Looking back on it with hindsight its curious to note some of the stuff that didn't happen. Makes me wonder what caused some of these plans from being played out...ReplyDelete

AP Offers Incredible Opportunities for New Graduate
Lindsey Anderson, '12 BA, Journalism
Lindsey Anderson's story starts with a bang: she was the American University student offered an internship onstage by Associated Press CEO Tom Curley (now retired) at last spring's School of Communication commencement ceremony after her speech. She spent the past three months working in the AP offices in Boston, Massachusetts. Soon, Anderson will be starting work as a reporter for the Las Cruces Sun-News in New Mexico. Her ultimate goal is to be a foreign correspondent. With a high-profile internship and a job straight out of college, Anderson is on her way to becoming a successful journalist.
What did you do during your internship with AP?
I spent a few weeks each with writing and multimedia. With writing, I was basically a reporter on staff. I wrote about all sorts of things – from breaking news to general pieces. For example, I went on a refurbished crabbing vessel to tag great white sharks. With multimedia, I did photography and video. I tagged along with a videographer.
What did you like most about it?
Everything! It was great to be writing for the AP because it's not restricted in its reporting. It's the ultimate go-to for news, so it was intimidating but exciting to see where stories would get picked up. I was able to do and see so many incredible things, including watching the shark tagging and a skin graft surgery.
How did SOC skills and resources help you attain your internship?
I learned how to write well in SOC. I had the opportunity to speak at graduation. A lot of my professors had worked with Curley, so they put in a good word for me after graduation. The SOC professors have provided me with fantastic references.
What advice do you have for SOC students?
Get as much experience as possible in all sides of journalism. AP taught me that you must be both a good writer and a good reporter – they aren't the same. In addition to writing, you must know how to take pictures and shoot videos. Social media is also a critical skill.

Apprentices more efficient than skilled workers
17 January 2014
With the massive increase in the price of university tuition fees following the UK budget reforms in 2013, more school leavers than ever before are looking to start their career with an apprenticeship.
Apprenticeships offer people of all ages the chance to get essential training through work based learning with the support of approved training providers while earning a wage at the same time.
Figures published by the Department for Business Innovation and Skills in October 2013 show that over 850,000 were enrolled on an apprenticeship during 2012/13. That is 370,000 more than the same period in 2009/10.
850,000 young people were enrolled onto an apprenticeship during 2012/13Not only is this great news for the UK's slowly recovering economy, but it also means it is the ideal time for employers to get involved in apprenticeship schemes. Apprenticeships offer employers a more cost effective way of building their workforce, whilst also helping them to establish and nurture a workforce which will become the skilled workers their businesses are built upon.
The number of businesses offering apprenticeship positions is growing too, with over 130,000 UK businesses now involved with frameworks from approved providers. Recruiting apprentices over skilled workers allows employers to fill any gaps they may have in the skills of their workforce. This is because apprentices learn the essential sector specific skills from their first day through to their last, developing these specialist skills that have a positive impact on the everyday running of the company.
While for some the idea of taking on apprentices is a prospect which instils an air of uncertainty, according to figures published by Skills Training UK, 59% of employers would look at hiring apprentices over skilled staff. Across all industries, apprenticeships have shown to be more cost effective than hiring workers who already posses the necessary skills.
77% of employers believe that apprentices make their company more competitive59% of enterprises involved in apprenticeship programmes report that spending 12 months training a new apprentice reduced long term training costs and 53% believe that they also have a positive effect on lowering the cost of recruitment. A third of these businesses also believe that apprentices become a valuable member of the team and have a positive effect of the business within a few weeks of joining the workforce. In fact 77% of employers believe that apprentices actually make their company more competitive.
Many companies which are now offering apprenticeships through approved providers like the Institute of Swimming Training (IoS Training) have reported that hiring apprentices provide a higher overall productivity, a decrease in staff turnover and lead to a happier and more motivated workforce as a whole. The IoS recruited 319 apprentices over 2012/13 and reduced the amount of cancelled courses by 22%.
The IoS lead the field in apprenticeship training, offering frameworks which are specifically designed for the leisure industry. The Coaching Learn to Swim framework is a comprehensive training programme in which apprentices are trained to fill the skill gaps within a pool operator or leisure centre's workforce. The Coaching Learn to Swim framework is employer led, teaching Coaching Learn to Swim, Employment Awareness in Leisure and Learning, Teaching Aquatics and Literacy and Numeracy Level 1. This framework ensures all apprentices have the necessary skills and knowledge required to work productively in the leisure industry.
The other frameworks on offer cover all aspects of a business in the leisure industry. These frameworks include:
Intermediate Apprenticeships (L2)
- Coaching Learn to Swim
- Instructing Exercise & Fitness
- Activity Leadership
- Active Leisure, Learning and Well-being Operational Services
- Business Administration
- Customer Service
Advanced Apprenticeships (L3)
- Customer Services
- Business Administration
- Advanced Fitness
- Leisure Management
While some companies feel they do not have the budget to begin recruiting new apprentices, institutes like IoS Training can help businesses to source full government funding for school leavers between the ages of 16-18, and part funding for those young people aged 19 and above.
Apprentices are paid a minimum wage of £2.68, working on average 30 hours a week. Many employers find that apprentices are a lot more motivated when they are recognised for their achievements. When an apprentice reaches a particular milestone, e.g. achieving a Level 1 teaching qualification in a particular technical element, paying them the Level 1Teaching rate over their usual pay grade while they are assisting a Level 2 coach helps to keep the apprentice striving to achieve more.
L2 apprenticeship frameworks usually run over a period of 12 months and L3 apprenticeship frameworks for 18-24 months, with shorter six month apprenticeship courses being dropped to focus on high quality, on the job training. For small enterprises that don't have the means to recruit new staff, the National Apprenticeship Service (NAS) offer grants to support companies who are looking to grow.
To see what an apprentice could do for your business visit the IoS The Apprenticeship Grant or Employer Incentive offered by NAS targets small businesses with less than 1000 employees who have not taken on a new apprentice for 12 months. This incentive is one of the key benefits for small companies and is available until 31st December 2014, so now is the time for start-up companies and small enterprises to get involved while the funding is still available.
The IoS is England's largest provider of apprenticeships and training for swimming and other aquatic activities. It was appointed a Centre of Excellence by government; working with employers to deliver the essential training and qualifications needed to produce a high quality workforce.
Their apprenticeships are designed with both employers and apprentices in mind, with a wide variety of frameworks on offer and more to come early in 2014. Both intermediate and advanced courses covering a variety of subjects including Coaching Learn to Swim, Customer Service, Activity Leadership and Instructing Fitness and Exercise allows training to cover all aspects of the swimming and fitness industry.
Apprenticeships with the IoS have a number of key advantages over courses which are offered by other approved providers. They offer courses which help to support the employers, offering advertising, recruitment guidance and support, and a dedicated recruitment officer. The IoS have an unlimited number of places and also hold a database of potential apprentices to match with suitable employers across the country.
Although apprenticeships do offer the foundations for a career in an individual's chosen field and the potential to continue onto more senior roles through advancement opportunities, they also give employers in the respective industries a chance to work with enthusiastic and driven individuals who rapidly make a big impact on a business's bottom line.

By Paula WellnitzOrangeville
I may hear the sound of the saw at work or just drive past to see trees I've admired now lying in pieces on the ground. It is so sad.
I keep wondering why people don't recognize the benefits these trees give us? First of all for their beauty. But besides beauty they do so many things for us. They can be windbreaks. They remove much of the CO2 from the air, prevent storm water runoff, give us clearer creeks, enable us to use less energy, etc.
Cities and towns that recognize these things take care of their trees and plant more. They find that this attracts shoppers and new businesses along with the above benefits. All this improves the quality of life for those living in or near those cities.
Holladay here in Utah, among others, has applied for a Tree City USA award through the Arbor Day Foundation. Their city planner said that in the pioneer settlements in that area people value their old trees and Tree City USA will help to protect them. They started a Heritage Tree program to help people who want to protect and care for their special trees and to have them recognized.
I could hope that the pride and interest people here take in being pioneer settlements will include an appreciation of their trees. It can include a recognition of the benefits of planting new trees also, as the pioneers did, that enhance our environment with beauty and decreased air pollution as well as many other desired outcomes.
There are almost 50 Tree City USA communities in Utah. Each of the communities within reach of this paper could do so also.

Welcome to the AISB
The Society for the Study of Artificial Intelligence and Simulation of Behaviour (AISB) is the largest Artificial Intelligence Society in the United Kingdom. Founded in 1964, the society has an international membership drawn from both academia and industry. It is a member of the European Coordinating Committee for Artificial Intelligence (see ECCAI benefits).
AISB is a thriving learned society which invites membership from people with a serious interest in Artificial Intelligence, Cognitive Science and related areas. There are six types of membership: student, ordinary, benefactor, patron, corporate and institutional. The society hosts an annual convention. Members of the Society receive a quarterly newsletter AISBQ which includes short reports on current AI and Cognitive Science research. Members are also entitled to discounts to the ECAI conference.

The Relationship between the AISB (learned society) and the AISB (limited company)
The following terms used in the memorandum and articles of association of the AISB (company) are to be understood in the following fashion as relates to the AISB (learned society).
- The members of the Company are the committee members of the Society.
- The Annual General Meeting of the Company is the society committee meeting preceding the society Annual General Meeting. This takes place during the winter term shortly before the Annual Convention though neither is specified as such anywhere.
- All society committee meetings are general meetings of the Company.
- Therefore regulations in the memorandum concerning the calling of (annual) general meetings, proxy voting etc. apply to Society Committee meetings even if not explicitly mentioned as such in the Society Constitution. The regulations governing committee meetings in the constitution count as bye-laws governing the conduct of Company general meetings. If at any point the regulations turn out to be in conflict then it will be necessary to distinguish between resolutions agreed by the Company and those agreed by the Society committee.
- The Directors of the Company are those persons registered as such with Companies' House (currently - Jan 2006 - that is the Chair, Vice-Chair and Treasurer of the Society but this need not be the case). The secretary of the Company is the person registered as such with Companies' House (currently - Jan 2006 - that is the secretary of the Society but this need not be the case). Regulations applying to the appointment and removal of directors therefore can apply separately to those for Society Officers, if necessary, although it is clearly preferable if the link can be maintained.
- It should be noted that it is the Company that owns the AISB bank account and therefore the Company that gets any final say in terms of budgeting.
AISB 2008 Symposium on the Turing Test
- Sunday 12th October, 2008
- Palmer Building, University of Reading, Whiteknights, UK.
- Sponsored by the AISB, University of Reading and KYBERNETES
To coincide with the Loebner Prize competition 2008, to be held at the University of Reading (UK) on the 12th October, the AISB has elected to sponsor a small one day invited-speaker symposium to present an alternative, formal, academic critique of issues surrounding the Turing Test (TT).
The day will commence with a selection of speakers offering a context and outlining a special perspective on the TT. These presentations are to be backed by four more focussed talks addressing specific issues related to the Turing Test (e.g. definitional; adequacy; tests in other modalities; technical/computational issues). As added relevance, the event is scheduled to be held in parallel with the Loebner Prize competition also at the University of Reading. And as Kevin Warwick (Professor of Cybernetics at the University of Reading) recently hinted, "hosting the Loebner Prize is a great opportunity for the University of Reading. The competition is all about whether a machine can now pass the Turing Test, a significant milestone in Artificial Intelligence. I believe machines are getting extremely close - it would be tremendously exciting if such a world first occurred in the UK, in Reading University in 2008. This is a real possibility."
If Professor Warwick's suspicions are well grounded, this AISB symposium on the Turing Test promises to be a truly groundbreaking event and we anticipate considerable media attention around the 11am announcement.
If you are interested in attending the event in person there are a limited number of places available; these can be reserved by sending your name+address and a cheque made payable to "AISB" for either: £25 (public); £20 (member AISB) or £10 (full-time student/unemployed/OAP) to: Dr. J.M.Bishop, Dept.

A breast formed from autologous (your own) tissue can feel to the touch, look, and move like a real breast. For these reasons, autologous tissue provides the highest quality breast reconstruction currently available. (photo credit, Karen's blog)
Autologous tissue-based reconstruction involves the use of a flap. This flap may be a pedicle flap (the blood vessels that supply the pedicled flap remain intact as the flap is transferred to the breast site) or a free flap (the blood vessels that supply the free flap are severed and reattached to blood vessels at the chest). Either way the flap will consist of an area of skin and fatty tissue that is removed from a flap donor site and transferred to the chest to reconstruct the missing breast. The choice of which flap is best for any particular patient depends on many factors, including the patient's anatomy, smoking history, and breast size and on the hospital and the plastic surgeon who performs the operation. (photo credit)
Autologous tissue-based reconstruction offers many advantages over implant-based reconstruction. Although failure can occur with any technique, the chances for long-term success are significantly higher if autologous tissue is used instead of an implant. Like a real breast, a breast reconstructed with autologous tissue will become larger when the patient gains weight and smaller when she loses weight. The breast will also develop ptosis (drooping) just as the opposite breast does, so the symmetry achieved at surgery tends to remain over time. The breast reconstructed with living tissue seems to be a real part of the body because it is a real part of the body and in most cases will last the patient's entire lifetime without ever having to be replaced.
The most common flap for breast reconstruction is the TRAM (transverse rectus abdominis myocutaneous) flap. It consists of skin, fat, and some muscle from the lower abdomen, where many women have some excess tissue. The original TRAM flap was first described by a plastic surgeon from Atlanta, Carl Hartrampf Jr. It is the TRAM pedicled flap based on a single rectus abdominis muscle. Over the years variation of the TRAM flap have been developed. The two most important variations are the conventional version (the TRAM pedicled flap) and the TRAM free flap.
A surprisingly large amount of skin and fat can be removed from the abdomen without compromising the plastic surgeon's ability to close the resulting wound and without creating a deformity of the abdomen. When transferred to the chest wall, this tissue can be used to make an excellent facsimile of the missing breast. The abdominal donor site is often flatter and tighter than it was before the surgery, a result that appeals to many patients. Although a long scar is created, it is usually easy to conceal with clothing and is not objectionable to most women, who consider it a worthwhile tradeoff for the new breast.
The flap skin and fat of a single pedicle TRAM flap reconstruction survive on perforators through the rectus abdominis muscle. Although this muscle has a dual blood supply, the superior epigastric artery and the inferior epigastric artery, this operation relies only on the superior epigastric arterial system. Because of the distant nature of this blood supply, only tissues directly over or immediately adjacent to the muscle have adequate vascularity. If more tissues are needed, consider other procedures (midabdominal TRAM, delay procedure, double pedicle TRAM, super-charged TRAM, free TRAM flap, deep inferior epigastric perforator flap "DIEP").
The TRAM flap operation is major surgery and should not be undertaken lightly by the patient or surgeon. There are certain characteristics that place patients at higher risk for complications.
- Cardiac disease (ie, myocardial infarction, angina, congestive heart failure)
- Pulmonary disease (ie, emphysema, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease)
- History of pulmonary embolus or deep venous thrombosis
- Collagen-vascular disease, lupus, scleroderma, polyarteritis, (small vessel disease)
- Unstable psychiatric disease
- Obesity (>25% ideal body weight)
- Older patient (physiologic age older than 70 yr)
- Cigarette smoking; unwilling to quit
- Previous abdominal surgery that has interrupted blood supply to the TRAM flap
- Although not an absolute contraindication, advise patients who wish to have more children to consider another method of reconstruction.
- Patients who desire no or little muscle to be removed with the TRAM flap should consider a free TRAM or deep inferior epigastric perforator [DIEP] flap.
More than one procedure is required for a successful TRAM flap breast reconstruction.
Stage I - TRAM flap
This may be performed at mastectomy or some time afterward. Belly tissues are used to create the breast mound. This stage may also include a procedure on the opposite breast for optimal symmetry. The operation may last from 4-8 hours. During this procedure, 90% of the reconstructive work is performed. (photo credit)
Stage II - Revisions and nipple reconstruction
For more accurate positioning of the nipple reconstruction, approximately 3-4 months after the TRAM flap procedure are needed for tissues to settled enough and scar tissue to relax. At this time, small revisions and reconstruction of the nipple can then be done. All adjuvant therapies should be completed, and the patient should have regained her preoperative energy level. If the breast mound revision is more major, the nipple reconstruction should be delayed another 3-4 months to accurately position nipple reconstruction. Nipple reconstruction can be performed as a local tissue rearrangement or as a graft from the opposite nipple. The anatomy of the patient and the preference of the surgeon dictate the choice.
Stage III - Nipple and areolar tattoo
This final procedure, which is performed in the office, adds color to the breast reconstruction. This finishing touch to the reconstruction helps make the reconstructed breast more symmetric with the opposite breast and minimizes the visual effect of other scars that may be present on the breast mound. The tattoo usually is performed 2 months after nipple creation, as the scar tissues are softer and facilitate pigment uptake in the scar. (photo credit)
Postoperative Details
- An uncomplicated TRAM flap requires 4-5 days of hospitalization.
- Ambulation begins on the first postoperative day.
- To remove tension on the abdominal closure, place the patient in a flexed position at the waist for the first few days (consider use of a walker as it aids in "reinforcing" the flexed position). Begin to allow a more upright position by the end of the first week.
- Drain tubes are necessary and are usually in place for 1-2 weeks. You will go home with them and have them removed in the doctor's office at a postop visit.
- Patients require 6 weeks to 2 months to regain their energy level and resume normal activities. You (the patient) should keep this in mind when planning your return to work or activities (family reunions, holidays, etc).
- Begin full range-of-motion exercises for the shoulder at 10-14 days postoperatively. Limited range will be allowed initially, so that the flap is not disturbed.
- Patients may resume abdominal exercises in 8 weeks.
- Anesthesia (decreased skin sensation) of the mastectomy site and central abdominal skin resolves over the next 6-12 months. The degree of sensory reinnervation to the TRAM flap is variable and patient dependent.
- Because of the tight closure of the underlying muscle fascia of the abdomen, most patients experience a painless tight feeling for many months.
- Patients with preexisting back pain may have an exacerbation of this pain from the procedure and may want to consider an alternative method of reconstruction (eg, implant reconstruction).
- Prolonged convalescence and discomfort coupled with a cancer diagnosis may be depressing and emotionally draining.
Because of the magnitude of the TRAM procedure, complications can occur even in the best of hands. Possible complications from a TRAM flap procedure are listed below. Fortunately, major complications are uncommon.
- Fat necrosis and/or partial flap loss (5-15% of patients)
- Complete loss of TRAM tissue ( <1% of patients)
- Seroma (fluid collection, usually in abdominal donor site)
- Hematoma (bleeding at either chest or abdomen)
- Infection
- Hernia (1-5% of patients)
- Abdominal bulge without hernia (5-15% of patients)
- Deep venous thrombosis and/or pulmonary embolus ( <1% of patients)
- Death ( <1% of patients)
Some nice photos of finished results here and here.

Not true to size
"These shoes run about a half a size to a full size short. Possibly due to the narrowed front end of the shoe. I would suggest ordering a full size larger than you would for a regular pair of Nike sneakers. Otherwise, the shoes are nice and of good quality."

News // Brother Ali
9.23.09 HipHopDX gives Brother Ali's "Us" 4.5 out of 5
Brother Ali
4.5 out of 5
Brother Ali's story is a unique one. Skeptics may wonder how an albino white kid from Minnesota could become one of independent Rap's strongest voices. Yet, Ali stands as one of the genre's most highly-praised artists, defying the odds to make it happen. After battling doubt, ridicule and hardship, he grew out of his teen years with the confidence of a talented emcee and used that same grit to escape from poverty, a painful divorce and strained family ties. All of this has been well documented throughout his previous projects and while his story is an intriguing one, it seems he's ready to shift gears on his latest offering. Now, Ali is transferring his focus to Us, working with longtime collaborator Ant to share the stories of others in an attempt to build on his impressive discography. Marking the release of his third official full-length album, some have doubted that he could satisfy those high expectations. But, that only allows Ali to do what he's always done best: defy the odds.

Wales lifted the Six Nations title on Saturday as they shut out rivals England 30-3 at the Millennium Stadium in a cracker of a game.
Wales claimed the Six Nations title on Saturday as they emphatically shut out rivals England 30-3 at the Millennium Stadium in a humdinger of a match.
Two tries from Alex Cuthbert, who ends with four scores to his name, proved to be the turning point in the game after a first-half that ended try-less.
It was a performance that brought back memories of their 2011 World Cup form and showed the potential this Welsh team has going into 2015.
Put simply, England were outplayed and could not cross the whitewash – now having done so just once in their last four games – as the Six Nations and Grand Slam both disappeared into the night.
As it was the defending Grand Slam champions that bettered a 108-year-old record to clinch their biggest ever win over England, surpassing the 25-point margin recorded in a 25-0 win in 1905.
The first-half was a rip-roaring affair in Cardiff as both teams went at each other hammer and tongs in an entertaining spectacle that had both fans in the stadium and viewers watching at home on the edge of their seats.
After building a 12-3 lead early in the second-half, through four penalties by full-back Leigh Halfpenny to one from England ten Owen Farrell, Wales surged ahead through Cuthbert.
That Welsh try – like in 2012 for Scott Williams – was one that came from the English losing possession in contact and when the ball found its way to Cuthbert on the right wing, the finisher fended off England back Mike Brown en route to a 35-metre run in.
That put them 17-3 in front and minutes later Farrell missed his second shot out of three.
Dan Biggar added a drop before Cuthbert stormed in for another try after good work from Sam Warburton and then Justin Tipuric, with Biggar completing the rout with a penalty.
This was Wales's second victory in a row over England, with the Welsh the only side to defeat the English in Six Nations action since Stuart Lancaster became coach in 2012.
Man of the match: So many Welsh players put their hands up as the pack as a whole, Dan Biggar, Jamie Roberts et al all stood tall in Cardiff. But we go for Justin Tipuric, whose fine showing on the openside flank was capped off by a superb assist for Alex Cuthbert.
Moment of the match: At 12-3 with over 50 minutes gone, the ball squirting out of a ruck and eventually finding Alex Cuthbert was the last thing England needed. The Cardiff Blues wing showed great pace to go around Mike Brown for a massive score in the context of the game.
Villain of the match: Nothing nasty to report.

By THE DINNER DIVA, LEANNE ELY
One of my favorite things to use during the grilling months (and here in the South, grilling starts now in April) is marinade. Or mare-in-nod, as Martha enunciates it. Marinades are an easy way to a fabulous dinner and require very little work. They do need the time to work their magic however, but it is easy to do when you've worked this easy step into your morning routine.
Here's the no fuss/no muss way I do it. First of all, I use those big zipper topped plastic bags from start to finish, no matter what the recipe says-that way, there's virtually no clean up and when you're done, you pour out the remaining marinade (important: this stuff is a germ fest) and toss the bag (don't get frugal and wash it-if it had meat in it, it's virtually impossible to get it clean enough. Out it needs to go).
To make marvelous marinade you need these three things: an acid (like lemon or vinegar) some flavor (garlic, herbs and spices) and a little oil (I like olive oil). The world is your oyster when you keep these components in mind. You can make your own marinades out of what you have on hand. They're very forgiving concoctions, too-no need to measure and worry over getting it "just so".
And here's something I just learned about this delicious way of grilling. Marinating your meat before grilling is safer than just throwing your chicken or meat on the grill. I am sure you have heard about the dangers of grilling and carcinogenic dangers lurking on the barbecue.
Well, recent studies have shown that carcinogens are significantly reduced in grilling when the meat has been marinated. The reason? Could be the anti-oxidant rich marinade that is full of phytochemicals�those naturally occurring substances that fight cancer, researchers aren't entirely sure, but they do know that marinades do work for reducing carcinogens.
What I am sure about is this recipe. You're going to love it.
Garlicky Ginger Lime Marinade
1 cup lime juice
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon ginger root, grated
4 cloves garlic, pressed
1/4 cup olive oil
Throw all ingredients in a large, zipper-topped plastic bag, mush it around to mix, then toss in your meat, chicken or fish (a steak-like swordfish or mahi mahi would work, but a delicate fish would fall apart). Place in the refrigerator and turn whenever you remember. Not necessary, but will give you a more even distribution of the flavors.
When the meat is marinated to your liking (you'll marinate fish the least amount of time, then chicken and meat the longest; from about one hour all the way to eight hours), pull it out, throw it on a medium high barbecue (that has been preheated for at least 10 minutes) and cook it to desired doneness. Yum.
This wonderful marinade will also work with veggies. So have fun.
Remember, if you can't stand the heat, stay out of the kitchen (and barbecue instead).

To control high blood sugar levels, the key to preventing and reversing Type 2 diabetes, Dr. Eric Braverman believes you can have 4 times better medicine than using drugs alone, by balancing your hormones, and improving nutrients and lifestyle, along with your meds. What I found truly amazing about his dietary regime is the addition of many herbs and spices in relatively large amounts to boost nutritional content. Braverman says, "The more nutrients in your food, the more nutritious it is. Everytime you put three or four spices in a meal, you have just upgraded your food. You have made it a superfood." This was news to me. I love these exotic flavors, but have always regarded them as mere seasonings.
Not so, according to Braverman. He asks his patients to average at least 3 spices a meal: cayenne pepper on brown rice, turmeric on eggs, cinnamon with their yogurt – and the more the better! They should use a lot more herbs too – fresh basil instead of spinach, lots of sage in chicken soup, pesto on omelets. He tells his patients to go out and buy $50 worth of spices and $50 worth of herbal teas for starters. Four thousands flavenoids have been discovered in teas that are all anti-inflammatory. Braverman says aging makes us burn up, dry up, swell up and turn to stone; calcium comes out of our bones and inflammation is rampant. Getting lots of anti-oxidants is an important strategy for aging well. His goal for his patients is 15-20 herbs and spices every day.
This sounds difficult – but is it? We've been experimenting at home with all the curry spices, and fresh mint in particular. We have discovered some amazing dishes that are now favorites. Two of these appear below. My husband invented the second one, and it really wakes up your tastebuds! [Do watch your white countertops and utensils when using curry powder, cumin or turmeric as these can stain badly.]
Curried Carrots
1 lb carrots sliced 1″ thick
2 tablespoons butter or olive oil
1 1/2 teaspoons curry powder
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon honey
1/3 cup chopped walnuts or pecans
Simmer carrots in saucepan with water to cover, for 15-20 minutes till tender. Drain and return carrots to pan. Over low heat, add the remaining ingredients, mix well and serve immediately.
Aromatic Butternut
2 cups butternut peeled and cut into chunks
1 teaspoon curry powder
1/2 inch of fresh ginger root, grated
4 cloves garlic, crushed
1 tablespoon of olive oil, with 1 teaspoon of butter
Simmer the butternut chunks in water,with ginger and garlic till tender. Add oil, butter, and curry powder and mash well.

These architectural treasures are the two-story Colony Church (1850), the three-story Colony Hotel (1852-ca. 1860), the Boys Dormitory (ca. 1850), and the Colony Barn (mid-1850s) that has been relocated behind the Hotel. In addition, the central village park contains a reconstructed gazebo and war monuments. On the south edge of the village, stands a new brick Museum to house a comprehensive collection of paintings by colonist and self-taught artist, Olof Krans (1838-1916). Hours and days of operation change with the season. Please call to confirm your visit.

Take a look back in history and visit the Steeple building, built in 1854. Architecturally intriguing it is a three-story stucco Greek Revival structure with a two-story tower and 66 six-over-six windows.

The museum is home to the Bishop Hill Heritage Association offices. The rooms and exhibit showcase historic artifacts and photos of early Colony days and take visitors back through time to a quaint prairie village. Group tours by appointment, small fee.

History in the Paint Public Art Tour
In the summer of 2013, a collective of artists, called the Walldogs, came to Kewanee, IL to paint 15 historic murals depicting the long history and heritage of the city. These paintings can be found on many downtown facades, as well as at the Amtrak Station that brings new people to the area, every day. About this mural: Kewanee was founded in May of 1854, when the Military Tract Railroad was routed to the north of Wethersfield. The town founders were from Wethersfield Township to the south, Sylvester Blish, Ralph Tenney, Henry Little and Sullivan Howard, plus Nelson Lay from Wisconsin. Colonel Berrian, civil engineer who supervised the laying of the track through this area, was asked to choose a name and he decided on "Kewanee," a Winnebago Indian word for "prairie chicken." In 1921, Wethersfield's 2,000 people asked to be annexed to Kewanee with its 16,000. That 18,000 would turn out to be Kewanee's peak population.

Really Cute Booties!
"These boots are very sexy, but run a WHOLE size too small. I wear a size 8 in shoes and I have a medium foot. I had to get these in a size 9! I'm glad the 9 wasn't too big b/c I truly love the shoes. They are comfy & easy too walk in. I now have them in blue, red and brown. I gave 4 stars b/c of the sizing issue."

I so wanted to like these
"I bought these in my size, 7.5 and right away they were just too tight. So I purchased an 8, same thing, way too tight. They are extremely narrow and short and very tight. If I'd have gotten another size up (which I've never bought an 8.5 ever) they would have just been too big with my feet slipping out. I had to return both and was very disappointed because they are really cute booties. Love the brown color. Rated them 3 stars cuz they are darn cute!"

Lovely Shoes
"This shoe is beautiful and I received many positive comments on it. For me, it ran true to length but was a bit narrow ( I normally wear average width shoes) so if you have wide feet, this shoes might not be very comfortable. The shoe upper is leather and therefore I was able to stretch it just a bit for more comfort. I would highly recommend this shoes"

Lennon confident Hooper will stay
Neil Lennon remains confident Gary Hooper, who has rejected a new contract, will still be at Celtic on February 1 after turning down a second bid from Norwich.
- Related Content
As we reported on Monday night, the Canaries made an improved bid to the one they submitted late last week for the striker but it was not accepted.
Lennon revealed the contract offer had been on the table since October and told BBC Radio Scotland's Sportsound programme: "We have had an improved offer, if you want to call it an improved offer, from Norwich that's been turned down automatically."
Lennon did not want to go into details about Norwich's offer but said it was not much more than the original figure.
When asked if it was £6million, Lennon said: "It was nowhere near six million. It was completely rejected and even if it was six million it would be completely rejected."
Lennon claimed little had changed with the situation of the striker, who has 18 months left on his deal.
When asked about reports that Hooper had rejected the club's latest offer, Lennon said: "It's not the latest offer because we made it two or three months ago.
"I'm disappointed again that these things have come out in public. I'm not too sure where they are coming from but it's certainly not us.
"It's as you were. He didn't like the look of the contract two or three months ago and nothing has changed.
"We feel it's a very good offer. It would put him in the top two or three highest-paid players at the club. I'm sure he wants to be the highest paid but you can't always get what you want."
Celtic paid Scunthorpe around £2million for Hooper in the summer of 2010, but Lennon claims he cannot see chief executive Peter Lawwell and the board cashing in on the 24-year-old this month.
"Not as far as I can see it," Lennon said. "We are very solid on that, myself, the backroom staff, Peter and the board."
Lennon, who picked Hooper in the starting line-up for his side's Clydesdale Bank Premier League clash with Dundee United tonight, added: "Come February 1, the contract offer will be withdrawn.
"They have got a lot to think about, Gary and his representatives.
"If he doesn't want to sign the contract, that's his decision. It wouldn't be my advice, but it's Gary's decision, or his representative's decision.
"We are quite comfortable with that and we respect that.
"We made this offer in October and all of a sudden it has been rejected. It's no coincidence that it's the last 10 days of the (transfer) window, but we are quite comfortable with the whole situation.
"I'm pretty sure Gary will be a Celtic player come February 1. We have had private chats and he is really happy here. He wants to stay, he wants to see out the season, and we will have a look at the situation then."

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Minneapolis officials are warning homeowners against pruning their ash trees.
Even with this late spring, conditions are warm enough for the beetles to attack and kill ash trees. The invasive pests are normally active from May through Labor Day. The city says it's important not to prune ash trees now or move any parts like firewood or branches while the pests are active. That's because moving the pests helps them spread to uncontaminated areas.
Emerald ash borers have killed millions of ash trees in 13 states, and ash trees make up about 20 percent of the tree canopy in Minneapolis. The Minnesota Department of Agriculture has imposed a quarantine on firewood, ash trees, and ash tree products in Hennepin, Ramsey, Houston and Winona counties to slow the spread.

Type: Improvement

Resolution: Not a bug

Component/s: Administration, Course, Groups
Affected Branches:MOODLE_19_STABLE
The typical decision process for making a grouping allocation is:
Should this be available for group members only?
If "Yes", enable that option.
Select grouping.
The settings for groupings are the opposite way around which is most unintuitive i.e.
Available for group members only
Suggestion: Reverse the order.
Gliffy Diagrams
Issue Links
- All
- Comments
- Work Log
- History
- Activity
- Links Hierarchy
The above is the position with resources. The set up for activity modules is different i.e. the order of the settings is as outlined above but the Grouping drop-down is enabled.
So, updating my suggestion above:
Change activities to reverse the order or;
Enable the Grouping drop-down by default for Resources.
Yes, the way it's done now is unlogical.
Just have to inverse code for the checkbox, before the grouping selection
Solution : in "course/moodleform_mod.php" modify function "standard_coursemodule_elements"
Moving these lines just before the other if in the same function (just under the line "if (!empty($CFG->enablegroupings)) {") :
if ($this->_features->groupmembersonly){ $mform->addElement('checkbox', 'groupmembersonly', get_string('groupmembersonly', 'group')); $mform->setAdvanced('groupmembersonly'); }
hmm, sometimes things are not as easy as they might seem
The Grouping option is shared by both "Available for group members only" and "Group mode" - you propose to move it away from the "Group mode" which might be considered more "unintuitive".
Seems that any order of these three options has its pluses and minuses - I am not really sure everybody will agree on the same best order, my personal favourite is the current one.
Problem here is that there is a possibility that if we change this in middle of stable branch some other ppl will complain and will want to revert this change.
Are you 100% sure now that this change will please everybody?
Petr, thanks for your comment.
Just thinking that if the order is changed to:
Group mode
Available for group members only
then people may select "Available for group members only" and not realise they need to select a grouping too.
Perhaps we could leave the order as it is and change the wording slightly to "Available for grouping members only"?
Edited to add: Just noticed the linked issue
nope, the group member is correct - it works also without groupings; you just need to be member if any course group if grouping not selected
OK, now I'm confused.
Petr, are you saying that an activity can be made visible to members of a group only?
How does one select which group(s) in the single check box?
Shouldn't it be the case that the check box should only be visible if there is at least one grouping for the course? And if so the label would be better altered to "Available for grouping members only".
Regarding the change in a stable branch. It's not so important to warrant that level of disruption but is sufficiently awkward to justify modifying for 1.9.2.
No, not one group - you need to be member of any group in course or any group in grouping - depending on Groupings option
I do not think it should be disabled, because you might add groups/groupings later
I'm still confused.
1. If the check box is ticked and there are groups anyone who is a member of a group will see the activity/resource?
2. The check box has nothing to do with groupings?
the group members only is related to groups available in activity and hence indirectly to grouping used in activity if selected
grouping restricts the number of groups available in activity
it is really not clear which option is better, in that case let's not change it in stable branch
