"There will be in the next generation or so a pharmacological method of making people love their servitude and producing dictatorship without tears so to speak. Producing a kind of painless concentration camp for entire societies so that people will in fact have their liberties taken away from them, but will rather enjoy it, because they will be distracted from any desire to rebel by propaganda, or brainwashing, or brainwashing enhanced by pharmacological methods. And this seems to be the final revolution."Aldous Huxley, author of Brave New World and New World Order insider and member of the Tavistock Group, California Medical School (1961)
"If the communist dynamic was greatly abated, the West might lose whatever incentive it has for world government."The Christian Science Monitor (l961)"Charter/government schools are necessary to merge the US educational program with the international educational program ... The Federal Government must be prepared in the coming decade not only to continue and where appropriate, expand existing programs of aid to education; it must also develop new avenues of assistance and patterns of educational leadership. It must do all that is necessary to support the pluralistic educational system of the Nation. In the area of international educational cooperation, in particular, it must play the major role, since only the Federal government can enter into agreements with other governments."A Federal Educational Agency for the Future, US Department of Health, Education and Welfare (HEW) 4/61 (1961)"At the close of World War II, our forces stood triumphant on the land and sea and in the air. We had at our command the mightiest array of military power in all history. Yet, the last 16 years have witnessed a calamitous retreat from victory. During all these years we have suffered defeat after defeat at the hands of international communism. We have retreated from position after position and committed folly after folly... the next five years will determine for centuries to come whether mankind is to live in freedom or live in slavery ... We have no more ground to give, no time to lose, no margin for error."Senator Thomas Dodd, speech given at the southern California school of anti-communism in Los Angeles (1961)http://www.overlordsofchaos.com/asse...garhoover1.jpg"The Communist threat from without must not blind us to the Communist threat from within. The latter is reaching into the very heart of America through its espionage agents and a cunning, defiant, and lawless communist party, which is fanatically dedicated to the Marxist cause of world enslavement and destruction of the foundations of our republic."J. Edgar Hoover, former Director Federal Bureau of Investigation, speech: "The Faith To Be Free" on NBC-TV (1961)"What is the Establishment's viewpoint? Through the Roosevelt, Truman, Eisenhower and Kennedy administrations its ideology is constant: That the best way to fight Communism is by a one world socialist state governed by experts like themselves. The result has been policies which favor the growth of the superstate, gradual surrender of United States sovereignty to the United Nations and a steady retreat in the face of Communist aggression."Edith Kermit Roosevelt, Granddaughter of President Theodore Roosevelt, article "Elite Clique Holds Power in U.S." in theIndianapolis News (1961)"The UN commands a great reservoir of support in our country ... People should write President Kennedy, telling him- do not withdraw from the UN, restore the UN to the Grand Design of Franklin Roosevelt- the design for peaceful coexistence."People's World, a US West Coast Communist Party newspaper, published from an editorial entitled "Save the UN" October 7 (1961)"[We recommend] progressive reduction of the war-making capability of the nations and the simultaneous strengthening of international institutions to settle disputes and maintain the peace... [The plan is the]elimination of all armed forces and armaments except those needed to maintain internal order within states and to furnish the United Nations with peace forces... by the time it [UN global government] would be so strong no nation could challenge it."The US State Department has been, since the times of the traitorous Roosevelt administration in the 1930s, an active agent of world transformation, of helping to create the Socialist One World Government. Consequently, its CFR inspired strategies have inexorably undermined American sovereignty and compromised the integrity of the USA as a sovereign nation state. An example of this hidden agenda is State Department document #7277, called Freedom From War: The United States' Program for General and Complete Disarmament in a Peaceful World that revealed plans to give the UN control of the US Armed Forces and its nuclear weapons, which on September 1, 1961 was sent by courier to the UN Secretary General. The document proposed a three-step program:"The first stage would significantly reduce the capabilities of nations to wage war by reducing the armed forced of the nations ... nuclear capabilities would be reduced by treaties ... and UN peace-keeping powers would be strengthened ... The second stage would provide further substantial reductions in the armed forces and the establishment of a permanent international peace force within the United Nations... The third stage would have the nations retaining only those forces required for maintaining internal order, but the United States would provide manpower for the United Nations Peace Force."State Department document #7277; Freedom From War: The United States' Program for General and Complete Disarmament in a Peaceful World (1961) http://www.overlordsofchaos.com/asse...Khrushchev.jpg"The dictatorship of the working class has emerged beyond the confines of one country and become an international force. In the conditions of today, socialism is in a position to determine, in growing measure, the character, methods and trends of international relations."Nikita Khrushchev (1894-1971), Soviet statesman and dictator of Russia who denounced his predecessor, Joseph Stalin (1961)http://www.overlordsofchaos.com/asse...Khrushchev.jpg"We cannot expect the Americans to jump from capitalism to Communism, but we can assist their elected leaders in giving Americans small doses of socialism, until they suddenly awake to find they have Communism."Nikita Sergeyevich Khrushchev (1894-1971) the Soviet dictator heir to the monster Joseph Stalin who later denounced Stalin for his over-zealousness in his pursuit of the Communist ideal. The source of this quote is theCongressional Record page 12622 of the issue of July 26, 1961 as quoted by as Sen. J Strom Thurmond in his famous assault on the US Defense Department for "muzzling the military." That is, Thurmond believed that the public-speaking talents of US military men "might well" be needed to make America aware that the raft of social legislation being driven through Congress and the Senate was Socialism, and socialism is Communism and so the antithesis of America as envisioned by its founders. Thus, any honest analysis of the degenerate state of American society due to this purposefulSocialist social engineering, as predicted by Khrushchev, has succeeded.http://www.overlordsofchaos.com/asse...enhower102.jpg"We must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military - industrial complex. We must never let the weight of this combination endanger our liberties or democratic processes."President Eisenhower (1890-1961) 34th President of the United States, Supreme Commander of the Allied Expeditionary Force who supervised the invasion of Normandy and the defeat of Nazi Germany; alluding to theShadow Government of America and Britain, the Anglo-American Establishment, the Liberal Establishment, that truly controls the temporal affairs of the West (1961)http://www.overlordsofchaos.com/assets/images/jfk1.jpg"We shall propose further cooperative efforts between all nations in weather prediction and eventually in weather control To this end we shall urge proposals extending the United Nations Charter to the limits of man's exploration of the universe, reserving outer space for peaceful use, prohibiting weapons of mass destruction in space or on celestial bodies ...

Snoop Dogg was one of the headliners, along with Dr. Dre, at the 2012 Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival last night and during his set he "brought up on stage" one of his good friends to perform with him … the late Tupac Shakur. Despite the fact that Tupac was killed 15 years ago, he was able to "perform" on stage with Snoop last night due to the wonders of hologram technology. Honestly, it's something you have to see to believe. Click below to see some photos and watch video of hologram Tupac performing with Snoop Dogg at Coachella last night.
Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg put on an impressive show at Coachella Sunday, and it included a surprise guest: deceased rapper Tupac Shakur. The late rapper made his return to the stage from beyond the grave as a hologram during Dre and Snoop's set at the music festival held in Indio, California. Thanks to the hologram technology, a shirtless Tupac seemed to take the stage, bearing greetings to Dre and Snoop before addressing the audience with, "What the f*** is up Coachella?" Hologram Pac gave a surprisingly realistic and lively performance of "Hail Mary," followed by "2 of Amerikaz Most Wanted" with Snoop. The rapper died in September, 1996 after being shot multiple times by an assailant.
Here is video of Tupac's performances last night — be warned, the video clip contains strong NSFW language:
We heard last week that Tupac would be resurrected at Coachella as a hologram but it's not until you see "him" in action that you realize how impressive this little stunt actually is. At first, I thought it was kinda creepy that Tupac was being turned into a hologram … but to see the hologram in action? I'm damn impressed. You actually forget for a second that Tupac is no longer alive — at least I forgot for a second. The believability is pretty remarkable. I guess now that this hologram performance was, by pretty much all accounts, a huge success … I wonder what other dead celebrities will be revived in hologram form? HMMMM. I foresee a new Las Vegas revue starring hologram Elvis.
In any event … what do YOU think of this performance by hologram Tupac Shakur? Are you impressed … or just creeped out?

For Healthcare Professionals
Applies to sulfamethoxazole / trimethoprim: intravenous solution, oral suspension, oral tablet
Rare (less than 0.1%): Thrombophlebitis
Postmarketing reports: QT prolongation resulting in ventricular tachycardia and torsade de pointes[Ref]
Dermatologic side effects were usually due to hypersensitivity to the sulfamethoxazole component.
A few cases of acute febrile neutrophilic dermatosis (Sweet's syndrome), characterized by abrupt onset of painful erythematous plaques or nodules and a fever greater than 38 degrees Celsius, have been reported.[Ref]
Rare (less than 0.1%): Acute febrile neutrophilic dermatosis (Sweet's syndrome), acute patchy exanthematous pustulosis (at least 1 case)
Frequency not reported: Mild erythroderma, severe exfoliative dermatitis, Stevens-Johnson syndrome, toxic epidermal necrolysis, erythema multiforme, exfoliative dermatitis, generalized skin eruptions, photosensitivity, phototoxicity, pruritus, urticaria, rash[Ref]
Frequency not reported: Nausea, vomiting/emesis, diarrhea, stomatitis, glossitis, abdominal pain, anorexia, pseudomembranous colitis, Clostridium difficile associated diarrhea, pancreatitis[Ref]
Because trimethoprim inhibits a step in folate synthesis, patients that are likely to have preexisting folate deficiencies (e.g., alcoholics, malnourished patients, patients on phenytoin or antifolate metabolites, and those with chronic hemolysis) are at risk of developing megaloblastic anemia during sulfamethoxazole-trimethoprim therapy. Folate replenishment reverses this effect.
Methemoglobinemia occurred twice in an HIV-infected patient who inadvertently received sulfamethoxazole-trimethoprim a second time after the first course was discontinued due to development of methemoglobinemia.[Ref]
Frequency not reported: Agranulocytosis, aplastic anemia, thrombocytopenia, leukopenia, neutropenia, hemolytic anemia, megaloblastic anemia, hypoprothrombinemia, methemoglobinemia, eosinophilia
Postmarketing reports: Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura, idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura[Ref]
Cholestatic hepatitis associated with sulfamethoxazole-trimethoprim therapy may present with other signs of hypersensitivity, such as rash, fever, and eosinophilia. Biopsy findings in patients with sulfamethoxazole-trimethoprim-associated cholestatic hepatitis have included hepatic necrosis, hepatocyte degeneration, hepatic granuloma, centrilobular congestion, and inflammatory infiltrates.
A 34-year-old female developed pancreatitis and hepatitis after inadvertently receiving sulfamethoxazole-trimethoprim for treatment of a urinary tract infection several years after experiencing a previous episode of sulfamethoxazole-trimethoprim-associated hepatitis.[Ref]
Frequency not reported: Hepatitis (including cholestatic jaundice, hepatic necrosis), elevated serum transaminase, elevated bilirubin, elevated liver function tests, fulminant hepatic failure, hepatic and/or cholestatic lesions, hepatitis with simultaneous pancreatitis, hepatorenal failure, cholestatic liver disease with ductopenia[Ref]
Frequency not reported: Anaphylaxis, allergic myocarditis, angioedema, Henoch-Schonlein purpura, serum sickness-like syndrome, generalized allergic reactions, fixed drug eruption, hypersensitivity reactions (including cholestatic jaundice, interstitial nephritis, liver failure, renal failure, pancytopenia, hypotension, pulmonary edema, elevated serum transaminases)[Ref]
A case of fixed drug eruption due to polysensitivity (sulfamethoxazole-trimethoprim and tenoxicam) and reactivation of previous (10 years earlier) sulfamethoxazole-trimethoprim-associated fixed drug eruption lesions has been reported.
Hypersensitivity reactions may be more likely in patients with HIV infection, with opportunistic infections, or patients who are slow acetylators.
Hypotension, pulmonary edema, and elevated serum transaminases have been reported following sulfamethoxazole-trimethoprim administration to HIV-infected patients.
Hypersensitivity reactions in some cases have included cholestatic jaundice, interstitial nephritis, liver failure, renal failure, and pancytopenia.
A 48-year-old male developed liver failure, renal failure requiring hemodialysis, and pancytopenia requiring blood transfusions after 10 days of treatment with sulfamethoxazole-trimethoprim for pyelonephritis. This was believed to be a hypersensitivity reaction. He was a slow acetylator phenotype and had concurrently taken acetaminophen and diclofenac; the acetaminophen may have contributed to the reaction by inhibiting NAT2.[Ref]
Rare (less than 0.1%): Local reaction, pain, slight irritation[Ref]
Local reaction, pain, and slight irritation on intravenous administration have been reported infrequently.[Ref]
Rare (less than 0.1%): Hypoglycemia
Frequency not reported: Hyperkalemia, metabolic acidosis, hyponatremia, hypouricemia[Ref]
Hyperkalemia may occur as a result of the blocking of sodium channels by trimethoprim, which causes a reduction of potassium excretion in the distal tubule.
High doses of intravenous sulfamethoxazole-trimethoprim appear to be associated with a greater incidence of metabolic acidosis.
Sulfonamides may induce hypoglycemia. However, the establishment of a causal relationship has been difficult in most cases of suspected sulfa-induced hypoglycemia because many of the affected patients had AIDS, may have had another viral infection, or were on other medications.
Hypouricemia has been associated with high-dose therapy.[Ref]
Isolated cases of rhabdomyolysis have been reported, primarily in patients with AIDS.[Ref]
Rare (less than 0.1%): Rhabdomyolysis
Frequency not reported: Arthralgia, myalgia, periarteritis nodosa, systemic lupus erythematosus[Ref]
Nervous system
Exacerbation of posthypoxic action myoclonus occurred in a patient with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma who was receiving high-dose intravenous sulfamethoxazole-trimethoprim (115 mg/kg/day) for suspected Pneumocystis pneumonia.
HIV-infected patients receiving high-dose intravenous sulfamethoxazole-trimethoprim appear to have a greater incidence of tremors. The tremors generally appear several days after initiating therapy and resolve several days after discontinuation or dose reduction.
An 82-year-old male developed higher-level gait disorder on day 37 of treatment, 2 days after his dosage was doubled to sulfamethoxazole 320 mg-trimethoprim 1600 mg orally twice a day. During this time, the patient also had nocturnal delirium. Sulfamethoxazole-trimethoprim was discontinued on day 48 and the patient's gait returned to normal and his nocturnal delirium resolved by day 51.[Ref]
Rare (less than 0.1%): Higher-level gait disorder (at least 1 case)
Frequency not reported: Aseptic meningitis, convulsions, peripheral neuritis, ataxia, vertigo, tinnitus, headache, dizziness, tremors, lightheadedness, coma, seizures, multifocal myoclonus, bilateral asterixis, exacerbation of posthypoxic action myoclonus[Ref]
Frequency not reported: Conjunctival and scleral injection[Ref]
Frequency not reported: Hallucinations, depression, apathy, nervousness, insomnia, irritability, confusion, disorientation, catatonia, nocturnal delirium, exacerbation of panic attacks, acute psychoses[Ref]
Frequency not reported: Renal failure, interstitial nephritis, elevated BUN and serum creatinine, toxic nephrosis with oliguria and anuria, tubular necrosis, crystalluria, aggravation of renal disease, azotemia, hyperkalemic renal tubular acidosis, overestimations of normal creatinine values[Ref]
Trimethoprim inhibits renal tubular creatinine secretion, which can result in a significant decrease in creatinine clearance. These changes appear to be completely reversible upon discontinuation of therapy. Sulfamethoxazole may cause sulfa crystalluria, especially during low urine output states.
Interstitial nephritis and tubular necrosis may be due to hypersensitivity.
The propylene glycol vehicle in intravenous sulfamethoxazole-trimethoprim and lorazepam has also been implicated in the development of acute tubular necrosis in a patient.
Hyperkalemia has occurred with both standard and high-dose therapy. Reported cases have resolved upon discontinuation of the drug, although a few have required treatment with sodium polystyrene sulfonate. Up to 20% of patients with AIDS who are given sulfamethoxazole-trimethoprim for Pneumocystis pneumonia develop mild hyperkalemia.
Sulfamethoxazole-trimethoprim may interfere with creatinine determinations by the Jaffe alkaline picrate assay, resulting in overestimations of normal values.[Ref]
Hypersensitivity reactions of the respiratory tract associated with sulfonamides have included cough, shortness of breath, and pulmonary infiltrates.[Ref]
Frequency not reported: Cough, shortness of breath, pulmonary infiltrates[Ref]

Greta, there is no question that reading comprehension is crucial to students becoming informed voters.
If I were being strictly pragmatic, I would say that our real educational problem is with the worst-performing schools. Most of those schools are ones in inner cities. Here in PA, our largest cities have the worst schools: Philadelphia, Harrisburg, Pittsburgh. Here in my local area, the worst-performing school district is in one of our cities, which draws no students outside the city limits, mostly lower-income population. The other two cities consolidated their districts with adjacent suburban townships, so have a more diverse population spanning both high-income and low-income.
The large cities first mentioned have a very serious problem with violence in their schools. I'd say the best way to have the best impact on our educational situation is to improve the performance of the lowest-performing schools; starting with making them safe for the students (and teachers). All the school systems in our area (which is about 700 square miles), probably accounts for fewer students than the city of Philadelphia, all by itself.
In schools like those, they cannot draw enough of the best teachers because teaching there is downright dangerous. And, in those circumstances, even the best teacher would have a hard time. I'm guessing that if the kids in those schools can read at 3rd grade level, that is probably the latest age when teachers were able to control the students enough to teach them.
Maybe the real solution is to examine the schools that perform well, and then apply the precepts to the worst-performing schools in urban settings. That would impact the largest numbers of students who need the improvements most.
Ayres' program for the Chicago school system (which Obama was involved with in administering the funds for) turned out a dismal failure. It did nothing to improve the academic performance of the students. If Arne Duncan is a follower of Ayres, we have a problem right there. Even that Chicago teachers' union president (that we saw on YouTube video) made fun of Arne Duncan as someone capable of running a school system.

In the world of Toriko, many extravagant and delicious ingredients exist in the most dangerous places, and it is up to the Bishoku-ya, or Gourmet Food Providers, to hunt down these animals and plants in the face of danger. Toriko is one such Bishoku-ya, taking his place as one of the Four Heavenly Kings of Bishoku-ya with his immense strength and appetite. Toriko takes on job after job while searching for the foods great enough to make it into his dream full-course meal.
So far, episode 1 has been released and subbed.
And I must say that its probably one of the most badass food-related anime episodes I've seen in a long time. It was just. So. Awesome. 8D
Episode 1 was around the length of an OVA so I'm not sure if this is just going to be a series of OVAs, normal 22-minute episodes or if they're going to stop there. It was set to be a TV series on the Spring Anime List, so I believe it'll end up having more (but either the following episodes will be shorter and release weekly, or they'll be longer and release every few months).
Either way,

|Gear Talk - Fly Stuff Spoken Here Sage advice & fresh perspectives
|Topic Review (Newest First)
Art -
That is surprising! I wonder if it's because the core is not braided nylon on the clear lines?
I would guess that the braided core for many opaque lines is in the 30# class. Good question for Cortland, SciAngler, Rio, etc.
|I thought that flylines were generally 20 or 30 pound test... I think my sinking lines are 30... I know my backing is 30... my tippets will vary as usual from 16 to 20.... in mid season. I agree the tippet should be the weakest kink.. when I have caught the bottom on an old lobster trap or log.. if I have to break off ,itis the tippet that breaks... sure would not like to see my line break on a pull off.
The Weakest Link
How many read the little books that come with a flyline? I just was reading the little book that comes with a Monic Flyline, here is an interesting fact, breaking strength of a 9 weight flyline is 16 lbs, "using a Dillon Unirversal Tester." This means if offshore fishing for tuna, sharks, and whatever, if using 16 lb a tippet, your tippet is no longer the weakest link. Unless I missed it, is the only flyline that gives the breaking strength of a flyline. Scientific Anglers, Orvis, Cortland, Lee Wuff, do not. I would want a tippet to be at least 20% weaker than the line, and the backing to be 20% stronger. What are your thoughts? Shouldn't flylines be labeled as to their breaking strength, or am I being to picky?

suggested new lexers
* IPython sessions
* Nemerle
* PostgreSQL/SQLite
for 1.0
- lexers that need work:
* review perl lexer (numerous bugs, but so far no one had complaints ;)
* readd property support for C# lexer? that is, find a regex that doesn't
backtrack to death...
* add support for function name highlighting to C++ lexer
- allow "overlay" token types to highlight specials: nth line, a word etc.
- pygmentize option presets, more sophisticated method to output styles?

"The UN Environment Program has stated that Western countries produce around 50 million tons of digital waste every year. Much (of the waste) is piled in containers and shipped to developing countries, supposedly to reduce the digital divide, to create jobs and help people. In reality, the inhabitants of dumps like Agbogbloshie survive largely by burning the electronic devices to extract copper and other metals out of the plastic used in their manufacture. The electronic waste contaminates rivers and lagoons with consequences that are easily imaginable. In 2008 Green Peace took samples of the burnt soil in Agbogbloshie and found high concentrations of lead, mercury, thallium, hydrogen cyanide and PVC."

Topic: Do You Wonder?
When ever I hear of the sad passing of a celebrity or the fact they have a rare Cancer and they do NOT say what kind of Cancer it leads me to wonder if it is the "one" in our family? Thinking of Jerry Buss and Chavez. Do you ever wonder?

Among the photos kept by my grandparents Kerr, I found two which aroused my curiosity. They were not identified, but my recent virtual tour of The Fabulous Ruins of Detroit and poking around in the Hall of Fame threads at Discuss Detroit gave me hope that I might find a way to identify these pictures, so I went on a search for images of historic Detroit factory fires.
Architects and factory people are probably hip to the subtle nuances of factory buildings but I, I discovered, am not. Well, I wasn't when I started searching, anyhow. But as you'll see if you click to enlarge these photos, there is an enormous amount of detail in them, which became very interesting to me as I ruled out possibilities.
At John Davis' website, Detroit Engine Works, he'd posted this image from a Detroit newspaper dated 2 August 1919. (I've added a slight blur to the image to counteract the dotty effect of scanning a newspaper photo):
John quoted the newspaper text as well:
Minutes after the first alarm was given the plant of the Wadsworth Manufacturing Co. was in flames. The photograph, taken from Jefferson Avenue, shows the extent of the destruction. The roof caved in quickly, flames reflecting from a background of dense smoke illuminating the sky. Three explosions helped demolish the structure and hurled burning timbers to nearby factories which took fire, among them the Maxwell Chalmers plant. A high wind aided in spreading the flames. A falling wall struck two fire engines, wrecking them.Thanks to his research, I feel strongly that my unidentified photos are images showing what was left of the Wadsworth Manufacturing Company after the explosions and fire. Although the two photos in the composite below were taken from slightly different angles, I've lined them up for easy comparison of the remaining structures of the building. To me, it appears to be a match.
Why would this fire have been of interest to my grandparents? I think proximity would explain that. In 1919, they lived in the 1000 block of Jefferson Avenue, and I believe the Wadsworth plant was located in the 1200 block.
I hope someday a reader of this blog will be able to confirm or refute my identification of these two photos. Please leave a comment if you can add any information.

Eastern Lake Superior piping plovers keep LSSU, Algoma biologists busy
Posted: August 16th, 2012
SAULT STE. MARIE, Mich. – Lake Superior State University and several research partners have been kept busy this summer monitoring nesting piping plovers in Michigan's Eastern Upper Peninsula.
Thanks to a $150,000 federal grant, the researchers have been on northern Lake Michigan and southern Lake Superior beaches to continue research on the endangered bird that prefers to nest on wide, bare, remote Great Lakes shorelines.
The plover monitoring project is one 30 ecological restoration projects that was selected to receive a total of $8.5 million in grant funding through Sustain Our Great Lakes, a bi-national, public–private partnership that includes the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation, ArcelorMittal, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, USDA Forest Service, and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.

The project takes on an international flair in the Eastern U.P. because it involves biology faculty and students from both sides of the U.S./Canada border. LSSU biology professor Jason Garvon Ph.D. and his spouse, Prof. Shannon Rowell-Garvon of Sault, Ontario's Algoma University, have been guiding their students in conducting surveys, and monitoring and protecting plover nests.
The program includes captive rearing and invasive species control to improve reproductive success and improve nesting habitat for the plover. In addition to the $150,000 grant, the project includes $163,459 in matching funds for a total of $313,459.
"We have been keeping busy this summer," said Shannon. "There were three nests at Vermilion, three at Whitefish Point and two at Port Inland. The chicks hatched in late June and early July and all were banded within seven days after they hatched."
She said each nest contained four eggs and of the nests monitored this year 16 of the 32 chicks successfully fledged.
The Garvons and their students set up nest "exclosures," which protect nesting plovers from predators, but allow the birds to move on and off the nest so they may feed.
KEEPING PREDATORS OUT -- LSSU Biology Prof. Jason Garvon (l) works with a student crew to build an "exclosure" around a piping plover nest. The structure protects plovers from predators on wide open beaches but allows the birds to move on and off the nest to feed. From l-r with Garvon are Algoma University student Heather Douglas and LSSU students Cody Besteman, Selena Creed and Renee Schlak. (Photo by Shannon Rowell-Garvon)

Piping plover research has been continuing at LSSU in some form since the 1980s but this year the nesting birds have been particularly active, according to Jason.
"This has been the best year so far for plovers at Vermilion and Whitefish Point, so we had to move one of our LSSU students up there to join the other LSSU student and the Algoma University student already out there," he said. "This is a great opportunity for our students and we are very pleased to be funded through 2013."
Students involved in the research project include Renee Schlak, an LSSU conservation leadership major from Onaway; Selena Creed, an LSSU fisheries and wildlife management major from Cheboygan; Cody Besteman, an LSSU wildlife management major from Hudsonville; and Heather Douglas, an Algoma University biology major from Sault Ste. Marie, Ont.
Due to participation in collaborative efforts and pursuit of competitive grants, the research activity has increased in recent years.
"Including our grant from the spring of 2010, we are now up to $701,096 in total grant awards for this project," Jason said, noting that more than half of the total comes from matching funds put forth by LSSU and partners that include the Detroit Zoological Society, U.P. Land Conservancy, Algoma University, Eastern and Central U.P. Cooperative Weed Management Areas and Little Traverse Conservancy.
For its part, the U.P. Land Conservancy manages two plover nesting sites in Grand Marais and Gulliver. Algoma University manages one plover monitor, and the U.P. Cooperative Weed Management Areas control invasive plants near plover nesting habitats in the eastern and central U.P.
The Detroit Zoological Society rears abandoned chicks and eggs and then releases the birds prior to fledging. The society's captive reared facility took in 12 eggs this season and six chicks were successfully reared and released in the wild.
The projects funded through the National Fish and Wildlife Federation all focus on improving the quality and connectivity of wetland and coastal habitats, and the 30 selected projects will help protect, restore and enhance the ecological integrity of the Great Lakes and surrounding region. Some of the other work to be supported with grant funding includes improving passage for fish and other aquatic organisms, controlling invasive species, restoring wetland hydrology, and improving stream habitat structure. -LSSU-

C. You are connected to a site pretending to be www.url.com … Something evil could be going on! Someone might be trying to trick you! Though odds are this isn't true, it's likely that guilt or the legal department required us to put this dialog up just for this case.
No, no, no, no, no! This text is the entire purpose of SSL. If it's really unlikely, then thousands of people wouldn't have created an entire ecosystem around validating identities. You have to realize that a private conversation is totally worthless if you don't know who you are talking to, and if nothing warns you when that validation fails, why would you have validation at all? This text wasn't added by lawyers; it was added by people who just spent man-centuries creating cryptosystems which would be absolutely worthless if this text were not displayed.
This dialog box shouldn't say "don't worry, this is probably something wrong with their setup. Just go on, send them your credit card number like always." That would defeat the purpose of the system so bady I'm having trouble coming up with an analogy. It's sort of like a policeman seeing someone trying to pick a lock and opening it for them, then standing by, smiling, as they walk off with all the valuables the lock was protecting. If you downplay the security concerns of sending important information over this link, you're basically telling the lock "sometimes keys screw up, just let him in." (I warned you the analogy sucked.)
It should be alarming! It needs to be alarming enough that if someone goes to their bank's website and sees this dialog box, they won't enter their password. Instead, they'll call their bank on the telephone and tell them that they've spotted fraud. This is the correct action - it's either true or it will get the correct people angry at the security people who screwed up the configuration. It's very rare for a major bank to totally botch their security setup like this.
On the other hand, it shouldn't be so alarming that it will prevent people from browsing some random untrusted website which they have no intention of sending important information to. It's not uncommon for people to require SSL on a site, not bother paying the money to have it signed by a widely- trusted CA, and have instructions for people with particularly sensitive passwords to import the certificate into their browser. That's not a site configuration problem, either - it's a "you haven't given the computer a way to verify their identity" problem.
I agree that examining a certificate and finding the problem is unrealistic for most people. Maybe the details of the certificate should be in an "Advanced" pull-out or something.

|Thank you so much...I really appreciate it :)
Answers by Expert:
I can answer questions on how to meet people, confidence, what to do for the best dates, problems within relationships, how to interact with your partner and how to end relationships amicably and politely. More specifically, I am best at answering issues pertaining to trust, honesty, openness, fear and communication within relationships. It is important to know that everyone loves differently and we must first identify how a partner (or prospective) partner loves, in order to understand them. I cannot answer questions on whether or not someone sounds like they are interested, people are all different when they like or do not like people. I cannot tell you how someone may react or how a situation will end but merely offer you my advice on the subject.
I do not have professional experience in the area but my knowledge of psychology, teamed with forever being an agony aunt when it comes to relationships means that I have answered many questions on relationships and am proud to say I have seen quite a few relationships flourish with my advice. I am used to surveying people and guiding them in my daily working life. Due to this, I can read situations very well, often putting a much needed outside perspective to good use.

My precious Rufus (e.g. The Smoosh) waddled, yipped, and swung his nugget belly into my home four years ago, forever changing my life. I hadn't just become a dog owner; I now had a furry partner in crime! Rufus is an extension of me and the deepest parts of my authentic self. I never knew it was possible to love an animal so much; looking at his excessively wrinkled face, 1-inch under-bite, and cinnamon roll tail is often too much for me to bear!
Rufus loves the creature comforts in life; a cozy bed (and it most certainly doesn't have to be his), soft blankets, bully sticks, sun bathing, and rolling around ungracefully in lush green grass at the park. When he's not sleeping, passing gas, or inhaling his food, he's desperately trying to fit his tongue all the way in his mouth. He's also been known to join me through the streets of San Francisco while getting his photo taken by adoring fans, as well as accompanying me on all my photo shoots for Canines & Couture. He's the biggest inspiration behind the blog and continues to feed me creative vigor. He keeps me grounded but on my toes, focused but distracted and of course, completely joyous.
Ru and I couldn't be more thrilled that he was chosen to be Bulldog of the Month for July. He joins a long line of gorgeous Smooshies and we feel honored to be a part of it!

The Comments
Here are the comments that were made about your videos. More specific questions should be sent to the "judges" thread.
Video 2
The corn joke is so old. But I laughed anyway how lame is that?
Kudos for using toys. I'm a sucker for toys. Although kind of disturbing, giving the use of "corn" in AMV Hell. O.o
That was kinda unexpected and fits perfectly with the theme of the site it's advertising. The editing/synch is a bit lacking though.
If you didn't already know about the AMV Hell corn thing, then this video would make no sense. If you didn't already know about AMV hell, then you still wouldn't know anything after watching this. Also, since the corn thing came from Hell 0, they actually have less corn since a 0 hasn't been made in a while. just sayin.
"Little to no editing done once I found out more about the source...overall, it made sense I guess. ""Corn"" really is one of the most well known segments from the AMVHell series so it was an pretty good idea to play off of it . So...good idea, very little effort.
Video 3
Is this video a comedy video? o__O Also, why did they set their homepage on fire...do they not like it? I think it wants me to take the video seriously, but the a poorly done roto of some chick's camel toe shows up within the first 10 seconds... I guess forums come out of giant eggs? Oh wait..it's over...I'm honestly not sure if I was supposed to laugh or be "immersed in teh dramaz"... it's a very messy video but I guess it advertises AMV France?
The fan service in the beginning is a little random, and the website overlays could have been better. The scene selection as a whole feels a little random as well.
Abrupt ending was abrupt. Some poor masking too. At least it is clear about which site it is promoting.
This one left me hanging...the music built up and then...piff. Nada. It was okay.
Orteil de chameau. Achetez-moi bonestorm ou allez à l'enfer.
Video 4
I thought this was actually really cool. Like a artsy ad for sophisticated people
Great job with the theme and explaining the Org, but not much in the way of actually editing. I think they limited themselves with the editing because of the small masking space allowed. Maybe if they had reversed the mask...? Still, great job with the theme itself.
Cool idea with playing stuff within the site logo. Explains perfectly what the site is about.
This video does a great job at explaining what the org is, and the theme is perfect. It also looks very professional. I'd vote for it to be the official promotional video for the org.
This video actually does a good job of getting it's point across and doing it in a unique way. The only real complaint I have is that I don't like the edges of the videos featured inside the images. Would've been nice if they were feathered a bit more to give it a more fleshed out look. With the way it currently looks, mostly visible in the eye and filmstrip, it may as well just be a PIP view with hard edges. But yeah, if the images were fleshed out a bit more you'd have a kick ass video.
Video 5
It's a poorly done AMV with a studio name thrown in. In addition to the fact that the text at the end looks really bad.
This video doesn't explain what "Eden Team" is at all. It completely misses the point of the theme. Also, I don't understand the ending. And since the phrase "hajimemashite" is used to introduce and start conversations, its kinda weird to end your AMV with it and translate it as "end".
I don't feel like it's promoting anything. The ending makes no sense. Why is it even there?
Extremely meh. This didn't do anything for me whatsoever. Totally random Gorillaz scenes, with totally random anime thrown in at the end, and totally random engrish subtitles to finish it off.
Best Engrish.
Video 6
I think it was a neat little story...but I couldn't quite follow.
The story is kind of cute, but reading the text takes away from watching the visuals, so it wasn't immediately obvious what was going on until the inclusion of the website until the very end. Could have been a lot tighter, time-wise. It's okay--not terrible, but not terribly good.
Story of the girl = joining the site. Nice idea, but kinda too long and the editing isn't very good.
It would have been awesome if the anime scene selection had actually been about AMVs, but the theme is nice.
"ASPECTRATIOSASPECTRATIOSASPECTRATIOSASPECTRATIOS!!!! DO U KNOW THEM? D: Why is her breakfast stuck in a little box that's floating in the air? Someone likes Sony Vegas stock effects... along with terrible looking text... So...she met new friend that cut her into pieces and gave her a necklace?... I don't really think those people are her friends D: ""Would you like to make your own?"" NO! These people obviously do horrible things to their friends ;__; Cute idea of their first experience how they made an AMV and wanted to pass it around to their friends and such...but the overall execution was incredibly poor. Bad jump-fades and
stock effects, in addition to ugly text floating around in black feathered bubbles... Sorry, but this was a mess.
Video 7
*insert Charlie Brown yell* While it gets the point across very clearly...the video itself is NOT pleasant to look at. If you at least did something with the giant black spaces it would've looked sooo much better... I like the little compilation of the logo at the end but for some reason the text of "Celebrating Ten Years" bothers me...maybe "Celebrating Ten Years of *insert something the org is proud of here* would look a bit nicer. Overall, cute idea, poor execution...
It shows what the org has to offer, bit it could use some better editing.
OK, it follows the theme, but is incredibly dull.
Great job following the theme, but zzzzz. It kind of made me think of a 7th grade filmstrip.
"I got dizzy from the org shifting back and forth. But it did do a good job with the theme.
Video 8
Every time i heard the "oh yeah" sample I could only thing of ninja baseball bat man.
First thing that bugged me--the angle of the org inserted into the computer is ALL WRONG AAARGH FIX THAT. Okay, got that out of my system. Although the synch was nicely done, it seemed to be just a lot of mainly random fanboi images. The Org is way more than that. Meh.
OK, it's a cool AMV, but what does it have to do with the Org besides the logo?
This video is edited nicely, but it seems like the org logo was added as an after thought. Its clear that neither the org or the theme of this round were the main focus of the AMV.
Ah! Terrible start D: Something is seriously messed up with homeboy's monitor >.O Might want to get that looked at... While the middle of the "video" wasn't terribly edited...beyond showing someone at the org and a low res version of the logo at the end, it wasn't that great of a tie in. I get the fact he's going to the org and finding all these kooky and krazy things, but the connection isn't made well enough. He really should get that monitor problem looked at first though...
Video 9
I actually really liked this one. I'm more a fan of subliminal propaganda videos and this one was done rather well. The audio really complimented the imagery to get a trippy looking video that kinda feels like something from out of the Matrix. There were only a couple things that I feel were missing: 1) was at the very end when only the logo is showing, a bit of larger text such as ""animemusicvideos.org"" could have been featured. If I had never seen the logo, I wouldn't know where exactly I was supposed to go to get my brain infected ;p 2) With only the logo showing (I know there is text at the bottom but it's incredibly difficult to see/read) it looks more like an add for an anime streaming website, meaning actual anime episodes. Not AMVs. Sneaking in more AMV related propaganda would've really benefited this video. Maybe a flash or two of Euphoria or something? But yeah, overall enjoyed the general editing and visual quality. Just don't think it reeaaallly did a great job with making the viewer realize that it's AMVs from the org that will infect your brain >.>;;"
I loved this. Its fun, creative, and is very well edited.
The org indeed messes with your head... Perfect editing.
LOVED IT! Super-creative, used a lot of interesting visuals, integrated the AMV logo in a lot of creative ways, interesting audio, used some of the more "atypical" animes (in terms of styles, like Dead Leaves), and I think it really represent the wide range of what the Org has to offer. *And* also gets across what a well-edited, creative amv can do---affect your brain. Two thumbs up from me.
Now THIS is a commercial! And one of my faves of the round!
Video 10
I hate the ending. I will smash that song with the fists of one thousand mildly irritated housecats. That being said this is my pick for winner.
Holy crap. Okay, well...holy crap.
Very good promotional video with a sense of humour.
The beginning started off too serious, but everything else is great.
Great use of text, great video quality, grade a sync, overall incredibly solid and my favorite video of round 1.
Video 11
The recorded audio quality was rather low...Gotta say, a pretty good parody of some pretty horrible commercials, some of which were frighteningly familiar to things I've seen in my past D: Not amazing but I giggled occasionally. Very interesting idea.Now where is my raccoon hat?
I didn't find this video very funny. The beginning weird-ed me out, and everything really dragged on.
What the hell did I just watch? It certainly is creative. Odd, but creative.
This one made me rofl. I have a pretty good idea who did it, thanks to the fact that I recognize the voice-over from one of their studio's other videos I watch incessantly. As soon as he started talking, I started laughing, because their other video makes me pee my pants every time I watch it. Anyway, this was really funny. It fits the theme in a really creative way, and I really enjoyed watching it. Anything that makes me laugh is always a good thing in my book.
Amazingly creative. And two great parodies in one. The first a great parody of pretentious image based flower water, the second of cable access ads from accross the heartland. A double parody all the way! What does it mean?
Video 12
I'm not sure what was going on here.
Cute idea, but it promoted the office worker idea more than the Org idea.
Cool idea with the office worker, but you kinda dropped it at some point. Also, letterboxing and blended frames hurt my eyes >.<
I really liked the concept.
Interesting idea...poor execution and super frame blending D: Also, LEARNABOUTASPECTRATIOSU! >:| By the end of video it almost seemed like you had forgotten about your everyday office worker and opted to go with Dancy Boob Yoko just for the hell of it. So started off ok, ended with random boobs. :/
Video 13
Kinda reminded me of Douggie's "AMV Technique Beat"...only a lot slower and kinda boring. It was cute, it got the point across, and was visually high quality. Nothing stunning, but I guess it got the job done.
This was really nice, and had a great mood.
Really cute and focuses on the community aspect of the site. Lipflaps kinda annoy me though.
Cute, but kind of boring. Could have moved it up a few paces. Maybe offered some more ideas...it slogged a bit there in some places.
Very simple and cute. I liked it. Goes for that whole sentimental approach.
Video 14
I am so hungry right now.
Um. Kind of creepy.
The smexy voice is absolutely hilarious!
No offense, but the voice over made me feel very uncomfortable. And it didn't really give me any real information about why AUN studios is about.
This is a comedy video? I'm going to judge it as a comedy video because it made me laugh really hard. Silly text tie-ins to popular videos served in a delicious menu-style way. I'm a fan of the super cheese so I enjoyed it quite a bit. Good job :3
Video 15
Find your balance...and then watch the pros start up Drama? o_O Text is was done in a bit of an...odd fashion...Overall, I really don't see any connection with the footage and idea. It was like "skating yaaay, and then text...and let's go ahead and slap this sticker on some random chick's ass? Or was that her tit? I couldn't tell..." Convoluted , didn't make any sense. Pointless...
Promoting the org should have been the main focus of the video, but it wasn't.
OK, rollerskates. And your point is?
This felt more like a sub-par contest intro.
Hmm, as much as I want to slap org stickers on breasts I think I might get in trouble.
Video 16
There's not really much actual editing going on here. They randomly inserted the Org logo a couple of times, and that was it. Plus, way too long.
Heading to the org, I get it. But it's too long for an ad and doesn't really focus on the subject.
This video has so much unused potential that it really makes me sad. If you had actually used scenes that suggest that people are trying to get to the org, or are enjoying watching AMVs on their computer, this video could have been amazing. Almost all the scenes that you used seemed completely random, and this video needed a lot more editing. But the song choice was awesome, and I think that you were aiming for a truly amazing concept. I only wish that you had done a better job at executing it.
Lip flap >:| NO! The first logo on the side of the building could've really used some better blending effects in addition to some special filter to really make it look like someone graffiti'd a wall with the org logo and not someone roto'd and threw it onto a scene where it totally wasn't in the first place >.> The overall editing I felt was really lacking. Scenes dragging on for way too long, no real sync with the song, etc... The video really felt like someone chose their favorite scenes from the Animatrix, randomized a bit on the timeline, threw an upbeat song in and then said "ohyeah, I'm supposed to be advertising the org...better stick some logos in here and there throughout the video..."There really was no connections between the video, audio and theme... I am disappoint.
Video 17
I can't tell if you're trying to be funny and are horrible at it or if you have a mental defect. That's all I really have to say.
I didn't find this funny at all.
This was incredibly lazy.
The audio made me lol, but that's about it.
I actually found this really funny. :shrug:
Video 18
The colours were soft. I felt like i was in a nursery made from pasteries.
I liked seeing my own name.
Is this video sucking up to the contest coordinator or something? Also, I'm not sure if it's promoting Project OrgEditor or the org.
This video was simple but very effective. It advertises not only the org, but also this contest. And it does a good job at showing what the site has to offer.
Ridiculously basic AE...I can't see this taking more than 30 minutes to throw together :/ Congratulations! You know how to...use text?
Video 19
Cute idea and nice parody. Would've been a bit nicer if it was longer...kinda felt like a joke that someone gave up halfway through telling. But not bad.
I like the concept, and I found it funny, but I think that you could have spent a little more time showing what re-evo is and why you should join.
Portal parodies never get old. That being said, the beginning is awesome, but the second half looks like the author ran out of ideas.
Beginning was great...then...what happened? Nuthin'.
Oh Re-Evo. I like how this took the stance of a recruitment as well.
Video 20
The inception trailer audio just didn't click for me. I didn't make the connection even with the AMV logo plastered all over the place.
Very clever, but I was torn on how much it was promoting Project Editor as opposed to the Org itself.
Clever idea and solid editing.
I really like the idea behind this, but it could have been greatly improved and edited better.
Interesting idea but executed poorly. Low quality footage and low quality audio didn't help it.
Video 21
*sigh* More incredibly basic AE...audio had no connection to the video, wrong aspect ratios, and it looks like your camera man has the shakes...might want to get him something to eat :/
This video feels like its advertising AMVs as a whole instead of advertising any particular group or site.
Video has little to no connection with the audio. Which site is this advertising for anyway? I saw 4 different logos...
Good editing, but weak on the theme.
I Know who made this one. Michael Bay made this one. It did alright on the theme ... but man gotta lay off that shake.
Video 22
That's some pretty cool nichijou you got there
Doesn't fit the theme at all.
I'm sorry, but this does not promote anything at all. it's just a typical AMV with the studio logo slapped in at the end.
I don't feel that you made this AMV for this contest. And it doesn't advertise re-evo at all. Lastly, you really should have cropped your footage to get rid of the tv logos.
Nice logo in the top right corner...we love to know where you get your footage :/ Once more, it appears that a poorly made AMV was created and then a logo was thrown on to the end.
Video 23
...Really? Why would you join if this was all you wanted to do? Pointless and it seems more like you're trying to talk about how the org is shitty. Poorly made in addition to being condescending..."
is this what you really think of the org? And even if this was a joke, its not actually funny.
This video does exactly the opposite thing to promoting the org - it makes the org look like 4chan's /b/...
This video made me want to eat babies.
I don't think this video was done right.
Video 24
heh heh heh he got kicked in the balls.
I understand what this video is getting at, but it doesn't change the fact that it does not work as an advertisement for the site. Plus, it's not 30s long.
I laughed, but this video is too short and doesn't promote what the site is really about.
This video should be automatically DQ'd. It broke a basic rule and isn't :30 long. Also, it was incredibly lazy.
Video 25
"What the fuck did I just watch? I want to say it was neat but I don't even know...I'll give you points for creativity with the Animatrix bit though.
I don't understand it, but it looks good.
I don't get it. Interesting editing though.
I think I missed something important here.
I loved this thing. It's neat and works as an ad in that kinda weird post-modern way.
Just a few notes:
1) Meelechampion was disqualified from the contest for not meeting the 30 second criteria of the contest. This realization came after the fact that some judges had already judged, so that explains the zero point scores.
2) The rules have been amended to include that having your name visible in the AMV is now against the rules starting in round 2. They were not in the rules previously. Only improper "sharing" of AMVs was illegal.
3) Voice acting will remain a legal part of an AMV, as we do not restrict audio sources. The editor will live with the consequences of that choice, for better or for worse.
4) Judge 2 did not get his scores in a timely manner, and would not have time to properly judge, and therefore his points was ignored.
So go head over to the second round thread a little later if you're still in the contest. You've got more horrors awaiting you!

Somalia: Without aid, thousands of lives will be at risk next year, warns the UN
The UN and aid agencies called for US$1.5 billion today to continue addressing the world's largest humanitarian crisis in Somalia, where four million people lack basic necessities such as food, water and shelter.
"With the humanitarian situation expected to remain critical well into next year, early and full funding is essential," said the Humanitarian Coordinator for Somalia, Mark Bowden, at the launch of the 2012 funding appeal for Somalia in Nairobi. "The Somalia crisis is everybody's responsibility and Somalis need support now. We cannot afford to wait or we will let down the Somali people."
Amidst drought, famine and conflict, tens of thousands of Somalis have already died this year while almost 300,000 have sought refuge in neighbouring countries such as Kenya and Ethiopia. Despite a recent drop in the number of famine-stricken areas last month, a quarter of a million people in southern Somalia are still coping with famine.
"The life-saving plan can only be achieved if donors pledge and commit early," said Mr. Bowden, calling on donors to act swiftly. The funding for next year will go towards providing basic aid such as food, water, shelter and healthcare. There will be projects to help the country build resilience so that communities are better prepared to withstand future droughts.
This year's appeal, which is so far 80 per cent funded, made it possible for aid workers to reach hundreds of thousands of people. Within the first three months of famine being declared in July, the number of people receiving food tripled to 2.6 million and almost half a million malnourished children received nutrition supplements. By mid-November, the number of areas affected by famine dropped from six to three.
Ongoing conflict and insecurity, however, continues to make it difficult to deliver aid to some areas in Somalia. Access to people in dire need remains the biggest challenge in the aid operation. Late last month, the Al-Shabaab, an armed group, banned 16 UN agencies and NGOs working in areas under its control in south and central Somalia, threatening to undermine the fragile progress made so far.

But living in the Milwaukee media market, it's interesting that there seems to be very little gnashing of teeth and wailing over Bielema's departure. The only concern seems to be over timing - right before the bowl game. He didn't exactly leave in the most classy manner either.
I am disappointed he is leaving. The program was going down and my Alma Mater is going up due to their new coach. It was always fun to point out to my UW Madtown wife the ridiculous game management and how he would run up the score in games. He even refused to take a knee with one minute left in the first half in the Big 10 Championship game. I don't know who should be more embarrassed about that game, the Big 10 or Nebraska.

Summer-Fresh Cherry and Berry Desserts
Ozark Blackberry Cobbler [1]
A sugared crispy pastry covers sweet juicy berries in this traditional dessert from the Monte Ne Inn near Rogers, Arkansas.
Triple Red Berry Dessert Sauce [5]
This easy blender sauce tops ice cream or angel food cake with a gorgeous red berry punch. Look for spreadable fruit in the jam/jelly section of your supermarket. The sauce has just 37 calories for a two-tablespoon serving.
Pink Lemonade Strawberry Shortcake [9]
Pink lemonade concentrate gives a summery twist to classic strawberry shortcake.
Mixed Berry Slab Pie [13]
Floral notes from lemon zest, thyme and honey round out the sweet-tart punch of ripe berries in this creation from Shelly Cross and Jill Long of Madison's Humble Sweet and Savory Pies bake shop. Shelly and Jill have some mad pastry skills; amateurs can get creative, too, with the extra dough.
Mixed Berry Slab Pie [14]
Raspberry Cheesecake Bars [17]
Layers of cheesecake, raspberry filling, almonds and coconut form dessert bars perfect for summer picnics and potlucks.
Double Berry Cobbler [21]
Handy shortcuts make this recipe a breeze. Cooking the fruit in an oven-safe skillet cuts the bake time (and the number of dirty dishes). Refrigerated biscuits form the simple topper.
Double Berry Cobbler [22]
Triple-Berry Angel Food Cake [25]
This simple, make-ahead dessert is light and colorful. If you're preparing it for a party, save time by using store-bought angel food cake and making the berry fruit spread the day before. You can substitute some of your other favorite fruits in the sauce, if you like.
Cherry-Berry Smoothie [29]
This quick-and-easy blender drink, from the Michigan Cherry Committee, combines cherries, milk, yogurt, blueberries or raspberries, juice concentrate, honey and vanilla.
Cool tip Blender freeze-ups happen when there's not enough liquid around frozen ingredients. To solve the problem, pour liquids and soft ingredients into the blender first, then add the frozen stuff on top and blend. Still stuck? Pour in some juice or milk, then cover and blend again.
Very Berry Triple Fruit Pie [33]
More than 4 cups of berries make this pie extra juicy. Be sure to let it cool completely before you slice it. And don't forget the vanilla ice cream! The recipe comes from Covered Bridge Farm in Forest Lake, Minnesota.
Pistachio Pavlova with Fresh Berries [37]
Mildly nutty meringue cradles fresh berries in this classic dessert named for a ballerina. Use your favorite nut to flavor the meringue. Our Test Kitchen recommends pistachios, almonds or pecans. Any fruit works: blueberries, kiwi, bananas.
Custard Parfaits with Granola [41]
This recipe makes an easy, fun layered dessert or breakfast . Use fat-free products for rich taste without extra calories. Layer most ingredients ahead, then add the granola and serve.
Chocolate-Raspberry Mousse Cake [45]
Combine raspberries with cake mix and mousse mix for this taste-tempting (and easy) chocolate delight from a Chaska, Minnesota, reader.
Berry Easy Cobbler [49]
This warm, crunch-topped cobbler calls for 3 cups of blueberries, but if you'd like a double-fruit version, reduce the blueberries to 2 cups and add 2 cups fresh or frozen tart cherries.
Berry Easy Cobbler [50]
Berries Romanoff [53]
This easy recipe makes a refreshing dessert-- perfect for a brunch or light dinner. It's also a good make-ahead recipe for entertaining; prepare the sour-cream sauce the day before your party, and then just layer the sauce and fruit in parfait glasses before serving.
Berries Romanoff [54]
Cherry-Berry Rich Shortcakes [57]
Michigan's fruit belt inspired our Cherry-Berry Rich Shortcakes. We played up the sweet cherries grown in the Great Lakes State, along with blueberries and raspberries. A shortcake biscuit base and sweetened whipped cream complete the dessert.
Lemon-Blueberry Biscuits [61]
Lemon yogurt is the secret ingredient in these pretty biscuits. The recipe comes from Natura Farms in Marine on St. Croix, Minnesota.
Blackberry-Pecan Streusel Pie [65]
Precook the juicy, tart blackberry filling before pouring it in the crust. The streusel topping becomes a crunchy sugar-pecan crown.
Berry Pudding Cake [69]
Vanilla cake bakes over fresh blueberries and strawberries for a light, lower-calorie summer dessert.
Berry Pudding Cake [70]
Double Chocolate-Cherry Cookies [73]
Carol Schneider of Wausau, Wisconsin, brought home a blue ribbon when she entered these cookies at the Wisconsin State Fair. The recipe combines white and semisweet chocolate with dried cherries and walnuts.
Blueberry Almond Bars [77]
This recipe earned the title of Grand Champion at the Marshall County Fair's annual Bake-A-Rama in Plymouth, Indiana. It looks great on a serving platter sprinkled with fresh blueberries.
Michigan Tart Cherry Pie [81]
If you're a fan of classic, not-too-sweet cherry pie, look no further. This is our best one.
Cheesecake-Sauced Fruit Parfaits [85]
Blend just four ingredients to create this easy sauce from a Wausau, Wisconsin, reader. Serve over fresh fruit such as raspberries, blueberries or strawberries.
Strawberry-Walnut Shortcakes [89]
Nuts and orange zest give a crunchy and flavorful twist to this summer classic.
Blueberry Sour Cream Dessert [93]
Use fresh blueberries when in season to make this rich dessert, a cross between a pie and a cheesecake.

By Gene Phelps/NEMS Daily Journal
Prentiss County once proudly billed itself as the "Basketball Capital of the Universe," and why not?
From 1925 to 1992, high school boys basketball teams from the county – Wheeler (11), Baldwyn (7), New Site (7), Booneville (4), Jumpertown (1), Thrasher (1) and Marietta (1) – brought home a once-record 31 state championships.
That total now stands at 32 thanks to Booneville's win in 2011. The Blue Devils and rival Baldwyn Bearcats could make it 33 and 34 next week with wins in Class 3A and 2A.
Don't look for any program to make a state title run quite like New Site's Royals, who captured gold balls five consecutive seasons – 1965-69 – under the late Gerald Caveness.
Baldwyn coach Jason McKay played on the Bearcats' last two title teams in 1986 and '87. This may be the program's best shot at winning an eighth gold ball.
Booneville, coached by Michael Smith, a former New Site Royals player, is gunning for its second state crown in three seasons. Smith has one of the state's top players in his lineup in high-flying Kenny Paul Geno.
The county's banner season came in 1969 when New Site (B), Thrasher (BB) and Baldwyn (A) won state championships. The Royals beat AA champion Jackson Wingfield to win the Grand Slam.
Let's not forget the Prentiss County girls. New Site won the county's first state championship last season, bringing home the 2A gold ball.
Coach Byron Sparks' Lady Royals – with their loyal fan following – return to Jackson this week as the favorite to win a second straight championship.
This is New Site's fifth consecutive trip to the Big House.
Prentiss County basketball – best in the universe? In 2013, the county's three tournament entries would settle for being "Best in the state."
The following is from a list of Mississippi high school boys basketball state champions compiled by former Wheeler standout player Jerry Keeton.
Keeton, who later played at Mississippi State, will gladly point out that Union County boys teams have won just 16 state championships.
