Roxbury, Mass. – Sophomore Autumn Wosencroft (Newport, R.I.) placed third in both the 400m (58.36) and the long jump (5.20m), as the Rhode Island College women's indoor track and field team competed at the 2013 Jay Carisella Invitational, hosted by Northeastern University at the Reggie Lewis Center.
This was an individual meet with no team scoring.
Junior Daria Braboy (Providence, R.I.) placed fourth in the 400m (58.36) and fifth in the triple jump (11.04m)
Freshman Allison Lomas (Saunderstown, R.I.) placed sixth in the 800m (2:27.73), while junior Jenna Pare (Tiverton, RI) finished one spot higher (2:30.11).
Freshman Lauren Deguire (Blackstone, Mass.) placed eighth in the 1,000m (3:22.73).

On broken XML processing with libxml2
The XML spec is very clear about this:
Once a fatal error is detected, however, the processor MUST NOT continue normal processing (i.e., it MUST NOT continue to pass character data and information about the document's logical structure to the application in the normal way).
That's the default behaviour of libxml2, but for the purpose of helping recover occasionally corrupted data, I provided an XML_PARSE_RECOVER parser flag allowing to correct some of the trivial errors, for example if using xmllint --recover. Now the problem is that people start using this flag for default processing, and that's something I said many time I didn't want to happen. If blog generator can't output correct well formed XML, then they need to be fixed (and that's true for all other XML generators). The intent of the drastic rule in the XML spec is cristal clear, to avoid data corruption and data loss by forcing non conformant behaviour to be fixed at the source, not at the consumer level.
I am gonna give a hard time to those who abused this feature of libxml2, because while not completely disabling the option, I will make sure it's not used repeatedly, I'm still looking at the best way. Feedback welcome on this issue, preferably on the mailing-list.

Dear Hasbro,
I would like it very much if you made a huge 3 3/4" line of Star Trek figures with pretty-much out-of-scale ships and vehicle / playsets that the figures can go in, just like your Star Wars toy line.
That would be so cool.
It would probably lose money because kids aren't knowledgeable or patient enough for Star Trek. In fact, it is not recommended for people with ADD, who cannot read books without pictures in them, or fall below a certain percentage on the curve of intelligence quotients. Also, people who do love Star Trek, probably own more cats than dogs and take complicated anti-depressant medication.
Thus I think Hasbro should explore selling a new line of Star Trek figures at PETSMARTs and CVS Pharmacies and the line might be successful.
Thank you for your consideration.
And by the way, yes, I would buy gazillions of cool 3 3/4" Star Trek figures that interact with vehicle toys, so I kind of do want these just for me. I own 2 cats and take lots of medication.
- Tycho

my dearest hasbro,
it's bad enough that you are so cheap and don't give a damn about your 12 inch line,(huge heads, crap bodies) but now it appears the jedi from episode 2 are not coming with robes. or, let me guess, later in the year, you'll re-release anakin and obi-wan with mister ed teeth like that crappy open mouthed qui-gon (with pancho) and have robes in those releases.
or better yet, anakin, obi wan, and mace will get re-released in a hard to find exclusive 2 pack with robes in those sets!

The Enve Smart System 3.4 Carbon Clincher Wheelset is the result of a holy union between aero-engineering legend Simon Smart and Enve Composites working together towards one common goal: producing the best wheelset on the planet. To do this, they agreed that the ultimate wheelset needs to meet specific criteria: an outstanding weight-to-strength ratio, durability, aerodynamic stability, and minimal drag when fitted to a bike. The Smart System 3.4 Clincher Wheelset meets every design goal, and shows what's possible when a wheel is manufactured across the hall from the engineering office.
The Enve Smart System 3.4 Carbon Clincher is part of the SES series. Enve used its most sophisticated technology and engineering techniques to create this fast, stiff, and aerodynamic wheelset. The 3.4's aerodynamic design starts with the size differential of the wheels. Enve accounted for the different behaviors of front and rear wheels, and designed the 3.4s with the front wheel that's 35mm deep and 26mm wide, while the rear wheel is 45mm deep and 24mm wide. The front wheel's shallow profile and wide stance helps decrease drag in windy conditions. On the other hand, the rear wheel's depth decreases drag because stability is less affected at the aft position of the bike. According to Enve, the 3.4s create a low drag number rivaling many competitors' 50mm- and 60mm-depth wheels.
Outside of consistent aerodynamic performance, the most noticeable advantage of the 3.4 Carbon Clincher Wheelset is its enhanced stability. The 3.4 demonstrates stellar results under the Enve Stability Index, a series of tests that incorporates the measurement of transient aerodynamics. In the wind tunnel, the front wheel is subjected to quick changes in wind degree at set yaw angles, and the steering torque of user-correction is then measured. The test represents real-world conditions, and surprisingly, Enve is one of the only non-Formula One manufacturers to conduct it. The 3.4 shape that was developed as a result of these tests ensures predictable airflow attachment over the rim, regardless of crosswind; the linear steering response trumps even the Zipp Firecrest series. In a crosswind, the 3.4 experiences a buildup of side-force equal to the changing angle of the wind, and the predictability prevents the need for rider over-correction.
The Smart System 3.4 Clincher is not only aero, but it's also light, stiff, and strong. The Enve SES series boasts the highest strength-to-weight ratio on the market, and its due in part to Enve's patented process of molding in spoke holes, nipple seats, and valve stem holes. Knowing that carbon fiber gains strength from continuous fibers, Enve routes the fibers around each hole in a 100% intact design. This design allows a lower weight at the spoke face, and adds overall rigidity to the rim. When built, the molded design promotes both higher spoke tension and tension uniformity. Another aspect of the 3.4's light weight is due to Enve's use of removal bladders during the molding process. While most composite rim manufacturers leave the rim-shaping inflatable bladder in the rim, Enve spends the time and money to remove it. This time-consuming process reduces rim weight, and makes for a perfectly tensioned wheel build.
The Enve Smart System 3.4 Carbon Clincher Wheelset uses a 20/24 spoke count, and is built with DT Aerolite bladed spokes and DT Swiss 240 hubs.
The Enve Smart System 3.4 Carbon Clincher Wheelset is available to fit Campagnolo and Shimano/SRAM cassettes. Every Enve Smart System 3.4 rim is handmade in the USA.
I've had my fair share of wheel sets, and while I think I would have a set of 6.7s in tubular form as a fun wheel set, it is hard to beat the versatility of the 3.4. Living somewhere with strong winds, it wasn't fun to ride on my previous Reynolds DV46ULs when it was blowing out. I loved the feel of those, especially hammering up our power climbs here, but then most 1100g tubular wheels feel awesome. I didn't want to hassle with that for daily use, so I kept debating what to get before deciding to spend the money and get the Enves. Having looked at Zipps, I was really close to getting the 202FC, but read of issues with the 2013 and previous year hubs. The Enves are stiff, relatively light, handle winds like a champion, and feel faster than the previously mentioned Reynolds. The brake performance has been awesome, and I am very happy with my purchase. It's also nice to know that the Enves are made in the USA and that they have their warranty should any issues arise.
Build quality A+, DT Swiss hubs - amazing, braking (with the ENVE Pads) is extraordinary. These are delicious wheels, treat them with respect or jump them off curbs - they will stay dead true and keep rolling. Confident, no fade braking from 50mph on 15% grades = spectacular handling and overall make for a safer ride :) If you can afford them, go for it :)
I just replaced my Mavic Krysum wheels with these ENVE?s set, and I feel a total different bicycle. I reached 29 mph and kept this speed easy under medium windy condition. No issues with lateral winds and the drag has been reduced a lot.
They are not cheap but, the technology, quality, and the care behind these wheels you will feel on the road.
These are a very well made set of wheels

The International Diabetes Federation is pleased to announce the launch of BRIDGES Research Net, a grant programme that aims to reproduce and implement successful interventions developed by IDF BRIDGES-supported projects.
Since the launch of BRIDGES [2] in 2007, 38 translational research projects in 34 countries have received our support in terms of the provision of both financing and mentoring.
"Our aim has always been to sponsor projects which can be replicated", commented Professor Linda Siminerio, Chair of BRIDGES Executive Committee. "Therefore, we always concentrated on quality rather than quantity when selecting recipients for our grants. Today, with the launch of BRIDGES Research Net, we are going one step further: we are supporting the replication of the successful interventions that we originally supported".
The concept of BRIDGES Research Net is based on BRIDGES D-START [3], in which an intervention that has proven successful in one country is used as a call for tender to be reproduced and implemented elsewhere. Applicants will need to explain how they will adapt the chosen intervention culturally and socially to its new context, and demonstrate strong support for their project from local authorities.
The selected applicants will receive a full week of training onsite by the Principal Investigator of the replicated intervention prior to the start of the intervention, as well as ongoing support.
This first round of BRIDGES Research Net will replicate a proven project focussing on improving diabetes foot care – "The Impact of the Initiation of an Educational and Preventive Foot Care Centre for People with Diabetes in Alexandria, Egypt".
BRIDGES is an IDF programme supported by an educational grant from Lilly Diabetes.

There have been a lot of players worried this winter, with rumors floating that the Bauer 4-Roll would be no longer. Well the rumors are true, kinda. Bauer is shifting the 4 Roll style to create the Nexus line of gloves. A natural fit, as the entire Nexus product line is built on the merging of classic fit and styling, with the most innovative technology in the game. The Nexus line retains the classic, volume fit, great if you like a lot of room and mobility in your gloves.
The Nexus 1000 glove comes as an upgrade to the last 4 Roll model. The biggest upgrade is the back roll. The 1000 will feature a double density EPP foam is superlight weight and has increased strength. It provides maximum protection without additional weight. A 12 mm layer of EPP, under an 8 mm layer of EPP, topped off with a PE insert for great protection. The palm is a pro ivory nash, the most requested palm material in the pro ranks, reinforced with an additional black nash overlay for improved durability in high wear areas. Bauer lined the glove with their THERMO-MAX+ liner, and air mesh gussets for durability.
The Nexus 800 is going to be an update of the current 4-roll, carrying most of the same level features, double density foam back rolls with poly inserts for protection. The THERMO-MAX liner allows the glove to dry out quickly and not retain as much moisture during play. The shell is lightweight pro nylon, for great breathability. The palm is pro Clarino ivory nash, with double layering in high wear areas. The gussets are also nash, which I think creates a more comfortable feel.
One thing I love about both models is the way the top half of the thumb has been flared out, to create almost a bell shape. It gives a more comfortable, more mobile fit by letting your thumb sit at a more natural angle. Overall, its great to see Bauer finally taking the 4-roll style glove to the next level, rather than continuing to make small tweaks. Keep on the look out for some sick, exclusive Pure Hockey colorways as always.

When Senate Bill 739 was passed, The Healthcare Associated Infections (HAI) Program was tasked with increasing patient protection from influenza in hospitals through vaccination of healthcare personnel. Senate Bill 739 (Health and Safety Code Section 1288.7) requires all California general acute care hospitals, based on Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidelines, to take the following actions:
(a) Annually offer onsite influenza vaccinations, if available, to all hospital employees at no cost to the employee. Each general acute care hospital shall require its employees to be vaccinated, or if the employee elects not to be vaccinated, to declare in writing that he or she has declined the vaccination.
(b) Institute respiratory hygiene and cough etiquette protocols, develop and implement procedures for the isolation of patients with influenza, and adopt a program plan for vaccinating healthcare personal during the influenza season.
(c) Revise an existing or develop a new disaster plan that includes a pandemic influenza component. The plan shall also document any actual or recommended collaboration with local, regional, and state public health agencies or officials in the event of an influenza pandemic.
Senate Bill 739 also requires that on and after January 1, 2008, each general acute care hospital shall annually report to the California Department of Public Health infection prevention process measures that have been recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Healthcare Infection Control Practices Advisory Committee. Initially these process measures shall include the CDC guidelines for influenza vaccination of patients and healthcare personnel. In consultation with the CDPH HAI Advisory Committee established pursuant to Section 1288.5, the department shall make this information public no later than six months after receiving the data.
For Information about the 2014-2015 reporting requirements, see attached PDF
The summary reporting data required by CDPH is the same as that required of most hospitals by the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), with the exception of the inclusion of registry personnel on the (Other/Contract Personnel/Registry Personnel) category.

Hey folks.. THIS IS AN UNSOLICITED Blog post about perhaps my favorite of the packaged "Just add water" meals.
Packitgourmet.com makes some fantastic food for backpacking or for those of you that are getting ready for a zombie attack.. I suppose you can add this to your preper stock.
But seriously, I order from Packit Gourmet frequently and enjoy their meals. They are hearty, great tasting, and pretty inexpensive compared to some of the name brands that you may find at your local outfitter.
The customer service at Packit gourmet is fantastic and they are great at answering questions, getting your order to you on time and following up with any issue you may have… I promise it won't be with the food.
For Scout units, the pot is even sweeter… Sign your unit up and you can let your Scouts reap the benefits of great meals and financial savings.. on the food that is.
When you sign your unit up for the Scout Discount, you and your Scouts can save 15% on every purchase.. and that's not a one time thing. Every Purchase! You don't have to order as a unit, you don't have to order a specific amount and no you are limited to a few of the meal selections. The store is open to you and you get the discount every time you order.
Look for a video review of my favorite meal from Packit Gourmet coming real soon here to the blog!
This is from the Packit gourmet website… I encourage you to head over there and check it out.

which loyall dog food do you use
I have 4 dogs
So you never have problems with Loyall dog food
Last edited by Scott R.; 10-06-2012 at 12:55 PM.
The food roller coaster has started again. I have a bit of a problem with the dogfoodadvisor web page because pretty much everything they give high marks costs an arm and a leg to use. All those hypo alergenic, all natural, holistic stuff cost plenty. So if you can't afford Pro Plan Performance be ready for a shocker when you hit that page Some of the intermediate formulas such as Pro Plan salmon and rice are more cost friendly and I know national level field trial dogs that run on it as opposed to performance. In the end your going to have to pick a brand/formula and go with it. Searching this forum for past posts regarding food will see pros and cons for pretty much any food. Best of luck.

FIBRACOL™ Plus Collagen Wound Dressing with Alginate is an advanced wound care device composed of collagen and calcium alginate fibers. FIBRACOL™ Plus dressing contains 80% more collagen than our traditional FIBRACOL™ Dressing.
Its unique combination of natural biopolymers created by a patented process combines the structural support of collagen and the gel forming properties of alginates into a sterile, soft, absorbent, conformable topical wound dressing. In the presence of wound fluid FIBRACOL™ Plus dressing maintains a physiologically moist microenvironment at the wound surface that is conducive to granulation tissue formation, epithelialization, and enables healing to proceed at a rapid rate. FIBRACOL™ Plus dressing is versatile as a primary wound dressing, it can be cut to the exact size of the wound, multi-layered for the management of deep wounds and used in combination with either a semi-occlusive or nonocclusive secondary dressing.
FIBRACOL™ Plus dressing is indicated for the management of exuding wounds including:
FIBRACOL™ Plus dressing may be used when visible signs of infection are present in the wound area only when proper medical treatment addresses the underlying cause. FIBRACOL™ Plus dressing may be used under compression therapy with healthcare professional supervision.
FIBRACOL™ Plus dressing is not indicated for wounds with active vasculitis, third-degree burns, or patients with known sensitivity to collagen or alginates.
Adverse Reactions
FIBRACOL™ Plus dressing should not be used on patients with known sensitivities to collagen or alginates. Discontinue use if signs of sensitivity appear.
Directions for use
Dressing Removal
After gently removing the secondary dressing, lift any FIBRACOL™ Plus dressing that has not formed a gel and discard. Using normal saline, gently irrigate the wound to remove any residual gel.

New Berlin West defeated Whitnall in one of the wildest, craziest, high school football games in Southeastern Wisconsin in 2012, 56-42. In so doing, the Vikings put themselves in prime position to qualify for the playoffs, improving to 4-4 in the Woodland Conference.
In an evening chock full of crazy plays, one may have made the difference.
Following an interception, Whitnall began a key drive early in the fourth quarter on its own 5-yard line yard line, trailing, 49-36. The Falcons marched all the way down the field and found themselves with a 1st and goal on the 8.
At this point, despite trailing by two touchdowns, the Falcons had all the momentum. Senior quarterback Zach Sutton was on fire that drive, hitting his previous four passes in short order to get to the 1st and goal situation. On first down, Sutton again dropped back to pass looking for a quick slant to the right, but junior linebacker Travis McKeon read Sutton's eyes and grabbed his second
interception of the evening.
"Our defensive line pressured the quarterback, our linebackers went to their zones, and the quarterback had to get rid of the ball, and it ended up in my hands" said McKeon.
Still, the game was not a defensive battle by any means.
Junior Tim Robey ran the opening kickoff back for a touchdown for New Berlin West to give the Vikings a very early 7-0 lead. Whitnall took the ball on its own 45-yard line following a failed onside kick attempt, and senior Nick Cimler took off on a 52-yard touchdown run on the second play from scrimmage.
Just more than three minutes later, junior quarterback Dylan Wiese, recently converted to quarterback, found junior wide receiver Chamika Wijenayake from 21 yards out to give the Vikings a 14-6 lead. Senior wide receiver Sam Mentkowski
took the following kickoff 90 yards for a touchdown to answer for the Falcons. Whitnall failed on the two point conversion attempt again.
Despite his team's dynamic offensive showing, West coach Al Moroder was not pleased with his team's defensive performance after the game.
"We have talked about flying around to the football all year and we have had better games, and we are going to pick it up into the playoffs." said Moroder.
For Whitnall, the bright spot of this game was the play of Sutton, who did everything in his power to try to lead Whitnall to a victory. He completed 27 of 39 passes for 356 yards and two touchdowns. He also rushed for 54 yards and another score.
For West, McKeon rushed for 171 yards and two scores, Bryan Watson carried the ball for 138 yards and a touchdown, and Wiese scored twice and finished with 92 yards on the ground.
"They're not fooling anybody; they are going to run the ball," said Whitnall coach Jeff Wallack. "A lot of off tackle stuff that we just couldn't answer, and we were standing flat footed. Luckily for us, our offense kept us in the game, but it's still a loss."

Rain yesterday evening shortened the fireworks display. Had fun anyway. Went to a 4th of July get-together with some church group friends, and got a chance to meet a few new people, and also to talk again to folks I had not talked to much for too long. Also did five loads of laundry...
Read almost all of the printed version of Grokking the GIMP yesterday when I wasn't watching fireworks, eating bratwurst, or doing laundry. Definitely worth purchasing. Unfortunately, that was one of the books that fatbrain mangled somewhat. :-(
Today I worked some in the test lab, working on setting up the kernel and HA development/test areas. This included finding some strips of plywood that will make an excellent ladder-rack substitute; our cool facilitities dude is going to bring in his cordless saw tomorrow and I'll make up some real ladder. Today I just used some pieces of metal and some screws to make clips that go on the end of the boards to hold them onto the rack with the switch in it. When I'm finished it will be really cool. ("Trust me, this is a good idea. I know what I'm doing!")
Some people might use this as an opportunity to complain about low-budget lab equipment setups, but I absolutely love to jury-rig things, so I'm abosolute enjoying myself. (Sorry, Bryce, I couldn't resist ;-) In all honesty, real ladder rack would not attach terribly well to the rest of the equipment (for example, the wire rack opposite the real rack) so a custom solution is probably the best thing in any case.
It looks like I'm going to be learning a bit about Cisco switch management as well so that I can set up the local switch for equipment on these racks. Always something new to learn.

As if the indignity of having enormous billboards posturing as "information" signs blocking sidewalks and distracting drivers wasn't enough, in some cases installing these ugly and useless ads meant the removal of bicycle parking.
The above "infotogo" pillar installed by Astral Media as part of their street furniture contract with the City required the removal of two or more post and ring bike racks. Located at the southeast corner of College Street and Manning, these racks were constantly in use and may even have been in use at the time of their removal.
The racks were simply sawed off at the bottom and in this case locked to another post and ring nearby:
Minutes after posting these images to Twitter, I was contacted by Councillor Mike Layton's office. The good news is that these horrible advertising pillars and their disrespectful placement and displacement of sidewalk space and bicycle parking are being scrutinized by City staff. Several have already been ordered removed and hopefully we'll soon see that list grow.
Val Dodge has a similar story about a new "info" pillar on the Danforth in front of the Carrot Commons.
Update: This one f-ugly and useless pillar required the removal of 5 post and rings racks…. FIVE! Thanks Bike Lane Diary

This is the time of year when we in the United States of America look back to the day that our nation, in response to a provocation by a loose-knit, scattered band of thugs, declared before the world its abject cowardice. The thugs destroyed a few airplanes and buildings and killed their occupants. The US response was to kill many more than that number of its own servicemen and -women, and hundreds of times as many entirely innocent civilians and their families.
Our nation followed up by creating an institution devoted to torturing people, innocent and guilty alike, by the thousands, and shielding the torturers from the law; a domestic surveillance system that is the envy of our former enemies; a legal apparatus that negates those constitutional freedoms our ancestors had won; and legions of secret police who eagerly imitate the crimes of those former enemies.
The lasting legacy of this cowardly response is a multi-trillion-dollar debt, a renewed and re-invigorated hostility from citizens of civilized countries, a fully equipped national police-state apparatus, and a cowed, deluded citizenry. The sad joke is that the star-spangled banner does yet wave, but o'er a land neither of the free, nor the brave.


text: Today I learned that if you Google "baby seal," inevitably you'll be faced with photos of the darling little creature's bloody demise at the hands of clubs. No matter that it was my favorite baby animal as a kid, and that the closet in my childhood bedroom is probably still filled with a couple of seal plushies (one white and one spotted 'cause I don't discriminate). So yeah, I've just subjected my retinas to those horrors from Internet trolls in order to pull out the actually adorable photos, the ones that will make you squeal and wish you could pick up one of these fluffy guys and haul him back to your house to live in your freezer.

Women's Integrated Pelvic Health Program
The Women's Integrated Pelvic Health Program, affiliated with Northwestern Memorial Hospital, helps individuals with pelvic health disorders. We know these problems frequently can limit normal activities, which can be both physically and emotionally devastating to the sufferer.
Many people accept these disorders and their symptoms as a normal part of aging or suffer in silence because they are too embarrassed to speak with their doctors. We'd like to change that.
The Integrated Pelvic Health Program was created with your physical, mental and emotional health, as well as your convenience, in mind. Our specialists share space in the Arkes Pavilion at 676 St. Clair Street, Suite 950, in Chicago, attached to the hospital by a covered pedestrian walkway.
Our Integrated Pelvic Health Program is the only program in the Chicago area that brings together a multispecialty approach to pelvic floor disorders in one location.
Our dedicated team of physicians, nurses and physical therapists are committed to restoring the quality of life for people with pelvic floor disorders. With treatment, individuals with these disorders may again enjoy activities like:
Studies and experience have shown that pelvic health disorders are best treated in a collaborative, multidisciplinary fashion at large academic medical centers.
At the Integrated Pelvic Health Program, we bring together internationally recognized specialists in urogynecology, urology, colorectal surgery and physical medicine and rehabilitation to provide customized, compassionate, full-service care for women with the full range of pelvic disorders in a confidential environment.
The program serves as a national model for treatment, research and educational endeavors in female pelvic floor disorders where patients can benefit from the latest treatments and opportunities by participation in:
Message from the Division Chief
Program Resources and Facilities
The physical resources of the IPHP, Prentice Women's Hospital and Northwestern Memorial Hospital, provide a unique opportunity to deliver comprehensive health care for women with pelvic floor disorders from a range of specialists, including:
Both the physicians and facilities offer state-of-the-art resources to ensure the highest quality evaluation, medical and surgical care to women with incontinence and prolapse.
Our physicians are national leaders in minimally invasive pelvic reconstructive surgery (performing the first robotic reconstructive procedures in Chicago) and sacral nerve stimulation for urinary and fecal incontinence.

Yields one 9-inch cake.
For the topping of this simple gluten-free citrus cake, the sour oranges are lightly candied in vanilla syrup, which makes a nice sweet-and-sour contrast. The candied oranges and syrup are also wonderful served over vanilla bean ice cream. If sour oranges are not available in your area, try using kumquats. Unsprayed, thin-skinned oranges are ideal for this recipe.
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Combine the sugar and 1/2 cup water in a medium saucepan. Add the vanilla bean and seeds to the pan. Bring it to a boil, lower the heat, and simmer until the sugar has dissolved. Add the thin slices of sour orange and cook them for 10 minutes, until translucent. Do not boil the syrup; just gently simmer it. Remove from the heat and keep the candied oranges in the syrup.
Combine the almond paste, 1 of the eggs, orange zest, and lemon zest in the bowl of a stand mixer. Using the paddle attachment, mix on medium-high speed until a thick and smooth paste forms. There might be some small lumps left, which is fine. Add the remaining 3 eggs. Switch to a whip attachment and whip the mixture for 5 minutes on high speed, until thick and pale in color.
Add the millet flour, baking powder, salt, and melted butter. Whip on
high speed for another 30 seconds, until all the ingredients are
Line the bottom of a 9-inch round cake pan with a circle of parchment paper. Grease the paper and pan and pour in the batter. Bake for 30 minutes. When a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean, it is done. Let the cake cool in the pan for 20 minutes. Invert it onto a cooling rack.
Serve the cake with the candied sour oranges on top as well as some of the vanilla syrup.

AHA Scientific Position
Public screenings have the potential to detect large numbers of people with high blood cholesterol levels besides those detected in the physician's office. Public screenings can also raise awareness of high blood cholesterol as a risk factor for coronary heart disease, the first step toward modifying lifestyle to reduce risk. Public screenings must meet acceptable criteria for recruitment, reliability of measurement of cholesterol levels, appropriate educational information, properly trained staff and referral.
High-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol as well as total cholesterol should be measured. However, if HDL cholesterol measurements aren't available in the screening setting, measuring total cholesterol levels still gives valuable information that can be used to manage risk.
The American Heart Association doesn't recommend mass screenings of blood cholesterol for all children and adolescents. See Children and Cholesterol for more information.
The American Heart Association shares the concern expressed by federal agencies and congressional committees about the potential dangers of poorly conducted community cholesterol screening programs. Our association recommends focusing on smaller-scale screenings with potential for higher return. There are many such possibilities.
- American Heart Association Fit-Friendly Worksites and other business and industry worksites provide major opportunities to reach a high-risk population of middle-aged men and women and especially younger males not yet identified as being at risk. Essential follow-up and referral can be carried out more readily at a job location. Worksite screenings can be held cooperatively with a third party such as a hospital, health club, university or medical school.
- Screenings that target low-income, low-education groups are another way to reach a population often under-represented in voluntary screenings. These programs have great potential for identifying high-risk people who are often from minority communities and not connected to traditional healthcare and information systems. Such screenings may be held in schools, churches, community centers or neighborhood clinics. It's preferable that qualified groups conduct the testing.
The American Heart Association urges all Americans to have their physicians determine their total and HDL blood cholesterol levels. This is very important for those people with a family history of heart disease, high blood pressure or stroke.
Getting your blood cholesterol, blood pressure, body mass index and fasting blood sugar measured regularly should be part of your overall medical care plan. Your doctor can order these tests and discuss the results with you. After discussing your risks and overall health, you and your physician can determine the best prevention and treatment strategy for you.
The American Heart Association recommends integrating community health risk assessment programs into the medical care system. These systems should ensure that test results are interpreted by the physician responsible for the patient's care. When cholesterol test results are given directly to a person without also informing that person's physician, there's no guarantee that the person will contact his or her doctor for interpretation follow-up. People who interpret their own cholesterol test result may become unduly frightened or reassured. Screening agencies should refer patients to their healthcare provider. Follow-up methods such as letters or telephone calls are desirable.

" Bought these in-ear headphones as replacement for my Sennheiser CX300 II. First impression - average (OK) design, stylish cloth covered cord and "the magic" foam tips.

I was reading a post on some website were a guy was at a presentation of some kind by one of the honchos at Hasbro. Said honcho was talking about how no matter how Star Wars toys perform, Hasbro's focus is always going to be on their in house products like G.I. Joe or Transformers.
Given that fact, it seems weird--absurd more or less--that Renegade toys aren't already on shelves. To my knowledge, we haven't even seen the first prototype. There's dropping the ball, then there's whatever debacle Hasbro's engaging in with the ball.
Given that I thought the 25th Joes were the best thing to happen to toys since the '80s, I'm really hoping that these Renegade toys don't disappoint.
I'm looking forward to the last few PoC figures, though, if we ever see them

The Michigan State of the State address is about to begin. I will be live blogging the event, giving my analysis (so my apologies for any spelling errors – I'll fix them eventually).
Alright, she's entering the chamber (I'm not sure if this is the House or Senate – probably House since it's bigger).
Oh – my roommate (Democrat) just about made me die of laughter – he said, "Where is she?" I said, "Right there." And he goes, "Oh, I thought that was a dude."
Alright – she's making her way up to the podium – about half the room is still clapping – probably the Democrats. There's Lt. Governor John Cherry up in his chair.
There's Senate Majority Leader Mike Bishop (R) and Speaker of the House Andy Dillon (D).
She's saying welcome and thank you. She's welcoming and congratulating the new representatives.
She's now welcoming Supreme Court Justice Dianne Hathaway, elected this year. And she's congratulating the longest serving president of the State Board of Education.
Now thanking the servicemen and women from Michigan as well as the first responders.
We just gave a moment of silence for those who lost their lives defending this country and state overseas.
"I will not sugar-coat the crisis facing this state. … Our auto companies fought for their very existence, and as the bottom fell out of the national economy" Michigan "went from bad to worse." She's absolutely right about that. "Any honest assessment of our state's economy must recognize that things are likely to get worse before they get better. … Things will get better … because Michigan citizens are resilient … because our battle plan is focused on the three things that matter most: fighting for more good paying jobs in Michigan, educating and training people to fill those good paying jobs, and protecting out people."
"This is not time for pet projects or special interests."
Now talking about Michigan now having "a friend in the White House who now shares our agenda. I say this based on pragmatism, not upon partisanship." BULL CRAP!
She's talking about him being focused on energy jobs, education, and protecting people. COME ON Madame Governor, the Republicans are interested in all of those things too!
"We've made many tough choices in our budget." True, but you could have done a lot more to fix the state, but you didn't, and that's why we're as bad as we are now.
"I have a veto pen, and I will use it. … The President's economic plan is a one-time opportunity." Really? Because so far, I count THREE bailout bills. What's to stop three more?
She's saying that our problems will be here after the economic stimulus money is gone. Lt. Governor Cherry will be in charge of downsizing government, reducing number of departments from 18 to 8.
Something about we can't have "9-5 government in a 24/7 world." Good point there – I'll give her that one.
Her and Cherry are reducing salaries of all elected state officials in Michigan by 10%. That's a good move – I COMMEND HER on that, but I don't really see how she can directly do that.
"Already, I've cut more than any other Governor in Michigan."
She's saying that a national survey showed that MI has done more to cut spending than other state in the country. I'd like to see the details of the survey, but if it's all true, I commend her on that.
She's cutting funding for the state fair – because it's not essential to government. GOOD CALL!
Talking about preserving our wetlands.
Talking about reducing corrections spending. We're going to close 3 more facilities in the coming months. Reinvest in more law enforcement on the street. More law enforcement is good, but I'm not too keen on closing 3 facilities – that means more criminals on the streets, since our prisons are already TOO FULL!
Funding for roads, bridges, and transit systems – um, we've needed that for the past FEW years!
We can focus on jobs when we spend within our means.
We need to diversify, but that doesn't mean sacrificing our number one industry, the auto industry. When pundits and ill-informed politicians take cheap shots at the auto industry and its workers, we (she's saying this) will defend the auto industry.
Talking about the green auto industry being great.
Hundreds of thousands of jobs being lost since 2000. "These losses have fueled our determination to bring new industry to Michigan." Good – we can't JUST depend on the auto industry anymore.
Talking about film and TV project coming to Michigan after the tax breaks to film companies.
Three major announcements:
- Wonderstruck Animation Studios – $86 million in Detroit.
- Stardock Systems (digital gaming) – build in Plymouth
- Motown Motion Pictures – $54 million in Pontiac (former GM plant)
Motown MP alone will create 3,600 jobs. That's great news – especially for the Pontiac area.
"But our success with the film industry is not an isolated example." Talking about renewable energy industry – solar panel production companies are building here in Michigan.
Just like the auto industry "it creates all kinds of jobs for all kinds of people." And that's a good thing – I am VERY enthusiastic about renewable energy, as long as it's not expensively forced on the people.
She's talking about wind turbines (and wind power is something I have always been really excited about – that and nuclear power).
Jobs for manufacturers and engineers – for solar panels and electric car batteries.
She's getting really intense about this. "The fact that these jobs are in Michigan is no accident."
We bring them here by beating out other states and countries.
We passed incentives to make sure those batteries are made in Michigan. Within weeks of passage, GM said that they'd make batteries for the Volt automobile will be made here in Michigan. 5 million electric car batteries to be made a year, creating 14,000 jobs.
She's saying that we want electric cars researched and designed here as well as all kinds of renewable energy companies.
She set a goal for becoming more dependent on renewable energy.
- 3 wind turbine manufactures to expand in Michigan.
- Unisolar to build solar panel factory in Battle Creek.
- HSC – $1 billion for solar panel expansion
- Dow-Corning – more solar panels.
- Great Lakes Turbine to build in Monroe (where my roommate's from!)
"We all know that we need more jobs – a lot more." I agree with you there.
President Obama has demanded more use of renewable energy. This will increase jobs in Michigan.
"By 2020, Michigan will reduce our reliance on fossil fuels for generating electricity by 45%. … We'll do it through increased renewable energy and gains in energy efficiency." Sounds like a good idea to me, but I think 45% is high. I have no problem with it as long as it doesn't jack up prices. But if it makes energy unaffordable, don't do it.
Instead of importing coal, we'll spend energy money on Michigan wind turbines and solar panels and energy efficiency devices, all installed by Michigan workers.
Ask Legislatures to allow for Michigan homeowners to become entrepreneurs by installing solar panels on roofs and selling money back to power company. Sounds good to me – it's giving people the choice to do this, and enables people to eventually make that money back.
Asking utility companies to invest in energy efficient products. Good.
Unlike the coal we buy right now, the money that we will spend on energy efficiency will create jobs in Michigan.
Create Michigan Energy Corps – creating jobs and turning natural resources into renewable fuels and weatherizing houses.
Saying that we'll need less coal power plants here in Michigan.
I'm kinda mad that she hasn't said anything about more nuclear here in Michigan.
Talking about how she'll bring new jobs to Michigan – that she's gone all over the world to get jobs. Yeah, well you haven't been too successful so far. You can go places to bring jobs here, but that doesn't matter until you bring some here.
Saying she'll require (I think it was universities) to buy Michigan. I have a problem with that though, because she wants a tuition freeze in order for universities to get stimulus money. How can they do that if you FORCE them to buy Michigan-made (more expensive at times).
Saying people should buy Michigan products. Buy everything from Ford to Faygo.
Talking about the Michigan $4,000 putting college in the reach of all students. Um, $4,000 really doesn't do that much.
Michigan will be the first state to replicate the Kalamazoo promise on a large scale. Something about free education, and I missed the rest.
#2 in the country for well qualified teachers in the classroom. How are we #2 with the Detroit Public School system?
No Worker Left Behind: Talking about free college tuition – $5,000 per year for 2 years. Training people for jobs, such as nurses, electricians, computer technicians. 52,000 people. Helping us to remake Michigan.
Added more resources to the unemployment system – THAT's what we need – to allow more people to rely on welfare!
Asking universities and colleges to freeze tuition for the next year. The problem with that is, what if THEY can't afford it?
Give people 90 days without the fear of foreclosure. That's absolutely insane. If people buy a house that they can't afford, then they should lose it.
Talking about asking auto insurance companies to freeze rates on auto insurance. Sure, if they want to, but don't make it mandatory.
She's saying we'll use every administrative tool to ensure that affordable rates are given to consumers. That should be up to the companies, not the government.
Saying that we shouldn't strip people of health coverage in order to reduce spending. We shouldn't HAVE state sponsored health care! She's saying we should protect those whom people of faith often call "the least of these." Well, people of faith need to step up and help the poor. That's their duty as good Christians (as it is my duty), NOT the governments. When did Jesus ever say that the government should help the poor? He didn't! He said his followers should – that's why it makes me angry when people give that as a reason that Jesus would be a Democrat!
And wouldn't "the least of these" refer to the unborn babies as well? I don't see you protecting them, Madame Governor!
"Is it harder to balance the state budget or the budget of a family who went from 2 paychecks to 1?" Talking about the harships of family being much greater than the hardships of politicians as leaders.
She's now giving an example of a guy on unemployment who used No Worker Left Behind to go to a university and now he's working for Dow Corning.
Sorry – my news station just stopped covering it – ABC needed to go back to "regular scheduled programming."
OK – I'm back.
Talking about hope and strength. "We together will build a better Michigan. God bless you all, and God bless the great state of Michigan."
Tim Skubik is on now – saying that "Doom and Gloom" only got 2 paragraphs. He's right – I think she could've shown that things are bad more than she did instead of just saying, "This is what we WILL do," since she's been saying that for YEARS now.
She never really said exactly how much she wanted to cut out of the government. I will commend her for some of her pro-energy efficient plans, but I think she may wind up driving up costs at a time that we can't afford it. Allowing people to sell back energy from solar panels is a GOOD thing, because it gives individuals the choice to do it, instead of mandating it.
And now Mike Bishop's response:
He's saying that "we all want what's best for our state."
"Each one of us has felt the effects of this economy."
Saying that the Governor wants to use federal funds to fix the state, but a quick infusion of money "will never be the antidote. … You can't increase spending and debt and somehow hope to resolve a serious budget crisis." The Republicans will submit a plan in the next 45 days for instant stimulus – it incentives job providers instead of increasing spending.
The House must pass Senate Bill 1. Get rid of the 22% business surcharge.
Talking about manufacturing complexes and other companies coming in due to tax cuts, proving that business tax cuts DO work.
The second part of the plan would bring property taxes in line with home values. Third, a tax credit for purchases of new homes will be created. This would spur the housing market. And he's absolutely right – that was one of the things my parents looked into was the huge jump in taxes we would've payed if we moved this past summer.
Review each item in the state budget and find savings – good!
We must "be certain that state resources are used efficiently." Absolutely!
Talking about opportunities coming with adversity – leaders need to rise up and "take the reins that will lead us back to prosperity. … Time for us to fix Michigan. … Thank you … God bless you, our families, and our great state of Michigan."
Alright – I'm off to a meeting – I'll spell check this and finish my analysis when I get back.
Done Reporting,
