Last Night of the Proms 2010
Union Jacks and high jinks were guaranteed, but would there be vuvuzelas? Nick Shave reports on the 2010 Proms finale from the Royal Albert Hall
There are many good reasons to celebrate this year's Proms – Maria João Pires's Chopin recital; the Berlin Philharmonic's Mahler One; and John Eliot Gardiner's Monteverdi Vespers, a truly moving and memorable performance by the Monteverdi Choir and English Baroque Soloists last Friday – to name just a few. Hats off to Proms director Roger Wright for one of the most successful festivals on record.
The statistics speak for themselves: an average of 92% attendance at the main performances, that's a turnout of around 4,000 spectators to the Royal Albert Hall each night. Of course, I still harbour minor gripes (do the attendants really have to police the doors like prison warders, scanning your ticket not just on the way in, but also the way out of the hall?), but here is not the place to air them. It's the Last Night. I have far greater gripes to bear.
In fact, such are my reservations about attending the Last Night that I had planned to set up a stall selling Union Jack vuvuzelas at the main entrance, secretly hoping they might do for the concert what they did to this year's World Cup football, zapping the occasion of any atmosphere and effectively removing the collective memory of it ever taking place. 'The Proms', the promenaders would mumble, confusedly as they staggered from the Hall, 'was that this year?'
Without wishing to sound like a Last Night balloon – the ones that whizz high into the air before blowing a raspberry and flopping unceremoniously back down to earth – all this flag-waving and we-Brits frivolity is just not for me. The prospect of Last Nighting was akin to attending a fondue party on a full stomach – I would just have to get through the cheese as quickly and politely as possible while hoping it all stayed down.
And hand out lots of vuvuzelas. According to my schedule, the evening would be launched by a fanfare of trumpets from Jonathan Dove's, A Song of Joys, a setting of the opening nine lines of Walt Witman that at one point (figure 8 in the score, as it turned out) would draw directly from Stravinsky's Rite of Spring, elsewhere would bring to mind John Adams, but would always sound unmistakably English.
The BBC Symphony Orchestra would lightly render Tchaikovsky's Capriccio Italien, followed by his Rococo Variations, with the excellent young viola player Maxim Rysanov the soloist. Hubert Parry's Blest Pair of Sirens from the BBC Singers would follow and Renée Fleming would introduce Strauss's Five Songs to the Proms for the first time. So far, so palatable.
Then after the interval the japes and tomfoolery would begin. Cue vuvuzelas with a drone that gradually cresendoes over Charbrier's whimsical Joyeuse marche, Smetana's Dalibor and Dvořák's Song to the Moon from Fleming – sorry, collateral damage – and drowns out Vaughan Williams's Suite for viola and small orchestra (1934) from Rysanov.
Still louder they would hum, swarming like bored bees around Lohengrin's Bridal Chorus, and 'You'll never walk alone', before hitting lobotomising volumes for Rule, Britannia!, the Parry, Elgar and National Anthem. Champagne would flow, heads would bob, and the rest, they wouldn't say, is history.
But who was I to ruin the fun? And besides, the door staff were already onto me.

Pumping milk from the breast isn't like sucking fluid through a straw -- more suction doesn't equal more milk. Instead, nursing depends on "letdown," the milk ejection reflex, which is triggered by touch and emotions, and mediated by hormones. When letdown occurs, muscles in the breast contract and the ducts widen, pushing milk toward the nipple. You may feel tingling or a sudden heaviness in your breasts. Unfortunately, anxiety, tension, and distraction can interfere with the flow of milk. In order to successfully pump, you will need to feel relaxed and in the nursing groove.
Benefits of pumping at work
- More breastmilk for the baby.
- Less discomfort and leaking from engorgement at work.
- Continuing to burn extra calories.
- Maintenance of your milk supply. Mothers who give their babies formula during the work week may have less milk for their babies on days thatthey aren't working.
- The satisfaction of giving something to your baby that only you can provide.
But how do you actually make it happen?
Finding a place to pump at work
Workplaces vary tremendously in their accommodations for breastfeeding moms. The best scenarios are having your baby with you at work, a childcare center on site, or a pumping room with hospital-grade electric pumps provided, but unfortunately, these opportunities are only rarely available.
To set up the best arrangements for your needs, it may be helpful to talk with your employer beforehand about pumping accommodations. An office with a door that closes is enough for some dedicated nursing moms. Some women still find themselves sneaking off to their cars or to the bathroom (the handicapped stall has the most room and often has a shelf for supplies) -- though if you want to avoid using the public bathroom, try reminding your supervisor that you wouldn't prepare food there. Your colleagues may provide support by helping protect you when you are pumping or by loaning you a private location.
Finding time to pump at work
Some jobs provide breaks and a lunch hour that can be used for pumping. Other jobs are less flexible or less predictable, but many arrangements that allow breastfeeding have worked out for moms with those sorts of jobs, too -- from pumping just a minute or two multiple times a day, to formula feeding instead of pumping and just nursing nights and weekends.

Onion Juice
Onion-Green Chile Bake
Khalsa Salsa
Something Worth Crying Over!
You have heard the expression, "An apple a day keeps the doctor away..." Here is a new one to remember: "An onion a day keeps disease away!" Onions' job is to keep the blood pure, improve digestion, and promote liver detoxification. Here are some "yogic remedies"* that employ onion.
DIARRHEA/VOMITING: For diarrhea, take 8-10 oz. of mint tea and add 1 oz. fresh onion juice. If pulse is fast or fever is present, chamomile tea may be used instead of mint tea. Drink every hour. This is also good in case of vomiting. With vomiting, however, take the tea-juice combo in sips. Wait a few minutes between sips. This was the only thing that helped my infant daughter many years ago when she had a serious bout of vomiting for several days.
DYSENTERY: As above, take mint tea with onion juice. Add up to 2-4 oz. of onion juice to 8 oz. mint tea. Drink every hour. The onion works to counter the bacteria.
TO AVOID DYSENTERY IN THE FIRST PLACE: if you are planning travel to a foreign country, prepare yourself! Every part of the world has different bacteria and you will not be accustomed to it. Onion helps in the digestion of food and balancing bacteria. Its presence creates a terrain in the digestive tract that is just not very attractive to those digestive bugs. So, everyday, for two weeks before you travel, eat the equivalent of at least one RAW onion. This is especially important if you will be visiting a third/second world country such as India, Mexico, Africa, etc. I have followed this regime every time I have traveled to India, and have never gotten dysentery ("Delhi Belly"). An easy way to get an onion in each day is to chop/slice up a whole onion in the morning (a nice-sized 8-oz. onion) and then add it to food throughout the day (on salad, in salsa or guacamole, in sandwiches, on baked potato, rice dishes, tostadas…). Just remember, it must be raw!
ANTI-CANCER: Onion, especially raw onion, works to build and purify the blood, warding off maladies of the blood. Onion also works on liver detoxification. Make it a habit to include onion in your diet, in some form, every day: raw in salads (see above for suggestions), baked in a casserole (see recipe below), cooked in other foods... but remember, raw or the fresh juice is always best.
EAR ACHES: Take a teaspoon of fresh onion juice and warm it over the stove (just enough to get it warm, not hot) for a few moments. Soak the warm onion juice up with a cotton ball. Gently squeeze several drops of juice into the affected ear(s) and plug with the cotton. Repeat every few hours. This helps to relieve pressure on the ear drum and works to counter infection-causing bacteria. In conjunction with this, you can also use Mullein oil (available in natural food stores). This is pure olive oil combined with the essential oil of mullein (a healing herb). It softens the skin in the ear, releasing pressure, and relieving pain. My family's pediatrician, Dr. Paul Fleiss, once recommended putting a few drops of mullein oil in the ear, every hour, or as often as needed.

Electronic Arts EA, +1.22% fell more than 2.5% after being downgraded to neutral by Piper Jaffray, a move that followed a disappointing report from NPD Thursday night for videogame sales in the month of December.

Jerome Davis Selected Next University Secretary
June 8, 2007
Dear fellow member of the Columbia community,
I am glad to tell you that the Trustees approved my nomination of Jerome Davis to serve as the next Secretary of the University, effective immediately.
Jerome has served as a Special Assistant in the President's Office for the past five years. In that role, he has helped manage a number of key strategic initiatives for the University, such as the Task Forces on Globalization, Journalism, and Undergraduate Education. He helped manage the search committees for a variety of senior University administrators and oversaw projects such as the World Leaders Forum and the first Global Colloquium of University Presidents. He has been serving as Interim Secretary since March, filling the vacancy left by Keith Walton.
Jerome has an enormously impressive educational and professional history. He earned his bachelor's degree from Princeton University and was a Rhodes Scholar at Oxford University. He graduated from Yale Law School, where he was an editor of the Yale Law Journal.
Jerome has more than twenty-five years of executive, management, financial, technology development and legal experience, primarily in environmental and energy industries. Prior to joining Columbia, he owned and operated his own technology business and held executive positions in the private sector, including as President of a subsidiary of Cummins Engine Co.
Jerome has been a member of the Council on Foreign Relations since 1985. He also served as a Trustee of Princeton, a first-hand experience that will certainly serve him well in his new role working directly with Columbia's Board of Trustees. He has also served on the boards of the New York State Civil Liberties Union and the Advisory Committee on President Clinton's Commission on Critical Infrastructure Protection.
Jerome has been a wonderful resource to me and to Columbia. While he will continue to be a key adviser, please join me in officially welcoming Jerome into this new leadership role at the University.
Lee C. Bollinger

|A layered pudding dessert with a shortbread type crust, topped with a peanut butter cream cheese layer, then pudding and topped with whipped topping.
Chocolate and Peanut Butter Layered DessertI'm pretty sure the dessert was born out of the 70s, and like all the other layered desserts, it has the press in crust, the layers of cream cheese and pudding and topped with whipped cream. The one difference is that this one has peanuts and peanut butter and if you love peanut butter, you will adore this version.
Perfect for big events, parties, potlucks and the like, back in the day it was known as Jimmy Carter Cake. If you're not a fan of the namesake, don't let that discourage you from trying this dessert, because frankly it is awesome. Just name it something else!
I don't really know why these types of desserts have been referred to over the years as a "cake" because there isn't anything cakey about it, although a version has popped up in more recent years that does include an actual cake layer now, instead of the classic shortbread type crust. That of course is marvelous, so I've included that one as well. It's a delicious dessert, perfect any time of the year, so let's get started making it shall we? Here's how.
Chop up 2/3 cup of peanuts, mix them with a cup of flour and cut in a stick of cold butter, press that into the bottom of a 9 x 13 inch baking pan and bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes. Cool completely. This produces a very thin bottom crust. If you like your crust a bit more substantial, and especially if your pan is slightly larger, you will probably need to make a 1-1/2 to double bottom crust.
Cream together a cup of peanut butter, a block of cream cheese and a cup of powdered sugar and layer that on top of the crust. Don't you just want a spoon of that peanutty goodness right there? Guess what? You can! This actually makes a great dip for fruit. Loosen it up with a little cream, half and half of milk to desired consistency then serve with some cut up fruit. Yummy!
Whisk the two puddings together and then whisk in the milk. Spread that on top of the peanut butter layer. I forgot to grab a picture of that peanut butter layer by itself...oops! But you get the picture, right?
Spread that pudding layer completely out over that peanut butter layer. (Don't you hate how grainy looking instant pudding can be?)
Now, whip up the heavy cream - or use Cool Whip - and spread that creamy, sweet decadence all over the top of that pudding layer.
Sprinkle some extra chopped nuts all over the top.
Use a microplane grater to finely grate some good dark chocolate on top.
Scatter some cherries around on top if you like. Go ahead, do it. You know you want to. They look too cute! You can use a variety of garnishes with this too of course - coarsely chopped mini peanut butter cups are cute, but chocolate curls, grated chocolate, chocolate or peanut butter chips - let your imagination run with it!
Stick the whole thing in the fridge to set and chill for several hours before serving. If you can stand it. I'll bet you won't be able to.
Recipe: Chocolate and Peanut Butter Layered Dessert©From the Kitchen of Deep South Dish
Prep time: 30 min |Inactive time: 6 hours | Yield: About 12 servings
- 2/3 cup dry roasted peanuts, chopped
- 1 cup all purpose flour
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted cold butter
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 small package instant pudding, vanilla flavor
- 1 small package instant pudding, chocolate flavor
- 2-3/4 cup whole milk
- Optional Garnishes: Coarsely chopped miniature peanut butter cups, chopped peanuts, Chocolate for curls or grating, chocolate or peanut butter chips and/or Maraschino cherries
Combine peanuts and flour and cut in butter; press out into a 9 x 13 inch baking pan. Bake at 350 degrees F for 20 minutes; set aside and cool completely. Put crust in fridge to chill further. May also prepare with a chocolate cake mix layer, see cook's notes below.
Cream the peanut butter, cream cheese and powdered sugar together. Carefully spread on top of the crust layer. Put in fridge to chill.
Whisk puddings together, add milk and whisk for about 2 minutes or until pudding begins to thicken. Carefully spread pudding on top of the peanut butter & cream cheese layer, taking care not to disturb the peanut butter layer. Put in fridge to chill.
Chill mixer bowl and beater in the freezer. Whip heavy cream on medium low speed until it begins to thicken. Add sugar, increase speed to medium high and whip until soft peaks form. Do not overbeat. Carefully spread the whipped cream over the pudding layer taking care not to disturb the pudding layer. Garnish as desired. Refrigerate 4 to 6 hours or overnight before serving.
Cook's Notes: This produces a very thin bottom crust. If you like your crust a bit more substantial, and especially if your pan is slightly larger, you will probably need to make a 1-1/2 to double bottom crust. A non-dairy topping such as Cool Whip can be substituted here – if so, omit the heavy cream and sugar and simply spread the topping out on top of the pudding layer. For testing purposes, I used regular salted Planter's dry roasted peanuts, White Lily flour, Jif creamy peanut butter, Philadelphia cream cheese and Jello brand instant pudding.
Chocolate and Peanut Butter Layered Cake Version: Combine the contents of a (15.25 ounce) dark chocolate cake mix, using one stick of softened butter and a large egg. Press into the bottom of the 13 x 9 inch pan, and bake at 350 for about 15 minutes, letting cool completely. Proceed with layering as above.

How to Make Tex-Mex MigasI love Tex-Mex migas! And seems I just about always have corn tortillas on hand so it's easy to whip 'em up too. Don't think they're just for breakfast either, because they make a mighty fine lunch, or even breakfast for dinner.
The translation of migas (pronounced "mee-yas") literally means "crumbs," primarily because migas originated as a dish that was made up from leftovers. In different parts of the world, migas are made with day old crumbled bread, some versions include different meats. I prefer the Tex-Mex version using crisped sliced corn tortillas.
A lot of folks also use salsa, but when they are at peak, I prefer to put fresh seeded and chopped tomatoes in my migas and serve the salsa on the side if I have some. When tomatoes aren't at their best, I use a well drained can of mild Rotel diced tomatoes. Toss in some cooked sausage or cooked, crumbled bacon too for variety!
I made these for lunch again today and decided to update the post a bit since I originally added this to the site a couple years back. I left in the following tutorial photos even though they were for a smaller migas recipe, so the plated migas above have more ingredients added... just in case you're wondering why one thing's a bit different from the other. I was just too darned lazy today to photograph the step by step again. I swear y'all... this mood I'm in lately and not wanting to work -- I surely must have spring fever!
Migas are really easy to make, and a nice change from the usual scramble. Simply start by cutting corn tortillas in half and then into strips. Use about one tortilla per serving - this is two cut up tortillas pictured below. Fry the strips in a little bit of canola oil until crisp.
Remove to a paper towel and allow to drain. Set aside.
In the same pan, add butter, and the chopped onion, jalapeño and serrano pepper, or use green bell pepper if you prefer less heat. If you prefer to use a can of Rotel diced tomatoes, you can even eliminate the peppers if you like. (Onion and peppers shown here were for a smaller portion.)
Add the chopped tomato, or if you're using Rotel or other canned diced tomatoes, drain them well and add here. Let the tomatoes saute for a bit, about 5 minutes. (Tomato shown here was for a smaller portion.)
Beat the eggs together, add a splash of water, season with salt and pepper and pour them into the vegetable mixture.
Let the eggs set a bit, then return the fried tortilla strips to the pan.
Toss it all together, scrambling the eggs until cooked through. Add cilantro if using, toss, plate up and enjoy!

If you make this or any of my recipes, I'd love to see your results! Just snap a photo and hashtag it #DeepSouthDish on social media or tag me @deepsouthdish on Instagram!
Recipe: Tex-Mex Migas©From the Kitchen of Deep South Dish
Prep time: 10 min | Cook time: 15 min | Yield: About 4 servings
- 1/2 tablespoon cooking oil (canola, vegetable, olive)
- 4 corn tortillas, halved and sliced
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1/2 cup of chopped Vidalia or other sweet onion
- 2 tablespoons jalapeño, seeded and chopped
- 1 tablespoon serrano pepper, seeded and chopped (can substitute sweet bell pepper for less heat)
- 1 cup of peeled, seeded, chopped raw tomato
- 8 large eggs
- Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
- Chopped fresh cilantro, to taste
- Shredded cheddar, optional
- Salsa, on the side, optional
Heat the oil in a skillet and add the sliced tortillas. Fry until browned and crisp, remove and drain on a paper towel and set aside.
Add butter to skillet and saute the onion and peppers until tender. Add the tomatoes and saute for about 5 minutes. Break eggs into a small bowl, add a splash of water, season with salt and pepper and beat well. Pour the eggs over the sauteed vegetables and let set. Scramble slightly, then toss in the tortilla strips and continue cooking eggs to desired texture. Sprinkle with cilantro if desired, toss and then plate.
Serve with a garnish of shredded cheese and salsa on the side, if desired.
Cook's Notes: Can substitute a can of mild Rotel diced tomatoes, well drained, if desired. If using Rotel, you can eliminate the peppers also if you like. Simply add the drained tomatoes in after sauteing the onion.

Southern Oregon Martial Arts Instructor Sentenced To Federal Prison On Marijuana Charges
Oregon Medical Marijuana Program cloaks illegal marijuana sales
MEDFORD, Ore. - Robert Hisamoto, 42, of Ashland, Oregon, was sentenced today to 48 months in federal prison for conspiracy to manufacture and distribute marijuana. Hisamoto is the owner and operator of Samurai Fighting Arts in Medford, Oregon.
In August 2011, the investigation led by the U.S. Drug Enforcement (DEA) identified 198 large marijuana plants growing at 6530 Tolo Road, Central Point, Oregon. This property was owned by Robert Hisamoto and was listed as an Oregon Medical Marijuana (OMMP) grow site. On October 20, 2011, DEA agents executed a search warrant at the Tolo Road property. Charlie and Madeline Reader resided at the property with their adult children. All but sixteen marijuana plants had been harvested. A large barn contained 48 drying racks used to process marijuana and the garage contained an indoor marijuana grow operation with 90 marijuana plants under grow lights, and a "Trim Pro" (Twister) hi-speed marijuana processing machine.
Agents also executed a search warrant at Hisamoto's residence, 704 Elkader Street, Ashland, Oregon. The garage contained 98 pounds of trimmed marijuana bud on drying racks, 117 pounds of packaged marijuana bud, and 17 pounds of marijuana shake, totaling 233 pounds. Hisamoto was registered as an OMMP caregiver for 30 patients, which under the OMMP allowed him to possess a maximum of 45 pounds of marijuana. Several documents contained notations of marijuana weights and prices per pound sold, ranging from $18,000 to $29,000. Agents also discovered that Hisamoto maintained an additional marijuana grow site in Butte Falls. Agents later learned that Hisamoto had more than 100 pounds of processed marijuana concealed in a storage unit, which he later sold.
Interviews of listed OMMP growers and patients revealed that Hisamoto recruited OMMP growers and patients as a guise to grow large quantities of marijuana for sale. Most of the "growers" were not involved in the operation, and many of the "patients' either did not use marijuana or never received marijuana from Hisamoto. Further investigation revealed that Hisamoto sold the marijuana to buyers from California. Hisamoto recruited co-defendants Charlie and Madeline Reader to manage the Tolo Road marijuana grow site. Madeline Reader also signed up OMMP patients for Hisamoto and paid their fees with money provided by Hisamoto. Hisamoto also recruited several others to guard the Tolo Road grow site and assist in trimming marijuana.
Co-defendants Charles Reader and Madeline Reader were previously sentenced to 33 months and 18 months prison respectively for their role in Hisamoto's operation. Madeline Reader had a previous felony conviction for delivery of methamphetamine.
This case was investigated by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration with assistance from the Jackson County Sheriff's Office, Medford Police Department, Ashland Police Department, U.S. Marshals Service, Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Federal Bureau of Investigation, Internal Revenue Service, U.S. Forest Service, and the U.S. Bureau of Land Management.

NEW YORK, June 21 (UPI) -- Artist LeRoy Neiman, known for documenting sports events and public life through his sketches and paintings, has died in New York, his family said. He was 91.
The New York Times reported his death Thursday but did not say what the exact cause of it was.
Neiman was known for chronicling boxing matches, Super Bowl games, horse races and Olympic competitions. His subjects ranged from chess icons Bobby Fischer and Boris Spassky to filmmaker Federico Fellini to members of the Kirov Ballet. His work frequently appeared in Playboy magazine, as well as on the walls of museums.
The Times said although Neiman's wildly popular work was largely ignored or dismissed by serious critics, he didn't seem to mind.
"Maybe the critics are right," Neiman told American Artist magazine in 1995. "But what am I supposed to do about it -- stop painting, change my work completely? I go back into the studio, and there I am at the easel again. I enjoy what I'm doing and feel good working. Other thoughts are just crowded out."
Among his books were "LeRoy Neiman: Art and Life Style," "Horses," "Winners: My Thirty Years in Sports," "Big-Time Golf," "LeRoy Neiman on Safari" and "Leroy Neiman: Five Decades." His memoir, "All Told: My Art and Life Among Athletes, Playboys, Bunnies and Provocateurs," was published this month.

Fortune favors the bold. You don't win a Super Bowl by copying league trends or punting on fourth-and-1. You don't keep a wildly talented quarterback on the bench after one of the best performances of the season because you're afraid of the criticism that might follow.
San Francisco 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh reportedly chose Colin Kaepernick to start Sunday's game against the New Orleans Saints, and he did it because he already knows what he has in Alex Smith. He wants to find out what he has in Kaepernick. The unknown is too tantalizing to ignore, even if rolling with a second-year pro at quarterback has its risks.
Smith is a perfectly solid, improving door No. 1. He has improved in all facets of his game since Harbaugh took over, and did it in a way that no one saw coming. Statistically, Smith could be an NFL MVP candidate with his high completion percentage and yards-per-attempt average. Harbaugh has done such a good job with Smith that people actually will be outraged at this decision. (It wasn't long ago that 49ers fans were chanting for David Carr to replace Smith.)
Harbaugh knows Smith isn't hard to prepare for. Smith doesn't have a huge arm. We know his ceiling.
|Is a QB controversy brewing in San Francisco? Take a look at our Top 10.
Kaepernick is a wildly athletic quarterback with clearly improving accuracy. We can't just ignore how well he played Monday night. It was only one start, but it was a one hell of a start. It was the type of start Smith might not be capable of. We don't fault Harbaugh for wanting to see more.
The 49ers' coaching staff has proven to be excellent at creatively maximizing their players' strengths. Their entire schematic and organizational approach to the NFL is unique. They coached around Smith last season. They built him up. Their focus then was on defense and the running game, but they want to evolve. Smith was making strides, but the 49ers traded up in the second round for Kaepernick because his ceiling is higher.
Kaepernick allows 49ers coaches to unlock even more of their creativity. That support, the running game and the defense all provide an atmosphere conducive to success for a young quarterback (not to mention this week's opponent, the Saints).
Playing Smith this week would be playing it safe. The 49ers have no use for that.Follow Gregg Rosenthal on Twitter @greggrosenthal.

Congressman Chuck Fleischmann, R-Tenn., who represents the Third Congressional District, has announced the Tennessee Valley Corridor National Summit will be returning to the site of its inaugural meeting 18 years ago — Oak Ridge.
Congressman Chuck Fleischmann, R-Tenn., who represents the Third Congressional District, has announced the Tennessee Valley Corridor National Summit will be returning to the site of its inaugural meeting 18 years ago — Oak Ridge.
The event will be held the last week of May, according to a release, but exact dates are being determined based on the schedules of several anticipated national speakers — including House Majority Leader Eric Cantor.
Senior decision-makers representing academia, government and industry from Tennessee, Alabama, Virginia, Kentucky and North Carolina will convene in the New Hope Center at Oak Ridge's Y-12 National Security Complex for the two-day meeting.
Fleischmann will serve as host and be joined by other members of the TVC congressional delegation.
"For almost two decades, the TVC summits have convened people to focus on leveraging our region's federal assets to generate private sector economic development," Fleischmann stated in the release.
"By working together, our valley has competed for and attracted important energy, research, space and national security missions that are important to our country. We will bring top-notch speakers from Congress and the Administration, as well as state and local government and the private sector to join us in Oak Ridge and to continue these important discussions."
Fleischmann indicated the focus areas of the 2013 Summit will include energy, advanced manufacturing, workforce development, innovation and entrepreneurism.
With Oak Ridge, the home of U.S. Department of Energy and National Nuclear Security Administration facilities, discussion topics are expected to include:
• The nation's new Uranium Processing Facility at the NNSA's Y-12 site;
• The new federal contractor responsible for UPF and managing the Y-12 and Pantex, Texas, production plants;
• Advances at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory in supercomputing, advanced manufacturing, and materials research;
• DOE's selection of Oak Ridge as the home of the nation's first Small Modular Nuclear Reactor project;
• The latest developments with NASA's Space Launch System Program, managed by the Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Ala.; and
• Collaborative opportunities in Huntsville, Oak Ridge and other Corridor member partners to promote advance manufacturing programs.
"Since the first Summit in Oak Ridge in 1995, the TVC has helped link the science and technology assets in the Tennessee Valley into a nationally recognized regional economic development effort," this week's release stated.
"The mission of the TVC is to sustain the region's existing federal missions, to compete for new missions, and to leverage public/private relationships for high-quality job growth."

'Evil Elmo' performer says bad rap isn't justified
Elmo lay crumpled in a plastic bag at Fisherman's Wharf in San Francisco.
Dan Sandler, the street performer who has become notorious for wearing the furry red costume while posing for photos with children and tourists, decided to forgo the outfit Wednesday - at least while defending himself against accusations that his troubled past made him unfit to depict the beloved "Sesame Street" character.
Yes, Sandler said in an interview with The Chronicle, he once ran a pornographic website in Cambodia called Welcome to Rape Camp.
Yes, he recently spent time in jail for trying to extort $2 million out of the Girl Scouts of America. And yes, he made anti-Semitic remarks that caused a stir in New York's Central Park.
Making an unfair leap
But Sandler said distressed merchants and street kids at the wharf are making an unfair leap - that he is a child predator. He said he should be allowed to make a buck without the harassment he has experienced since his return to San Francisco a few weeks ago.
"People are being told lies about me," said Sandler, who is 50 and homeless. "I'm really sick of it. I'm just trying to make a living."
Sandler earned the nicknames "Evil Elmo" and "Bad Elmo" for his sometimes aggressive tactics in drumming up money in exchange for photos with him in costume. After some of his profanity-laced, anti-Semitic rants were videotaped, he became an Internet sensation.
Now, wherever he goes, his reputation follows him. And a lot of people don't want him around, though police officials said there is little they can do to stop him from employing his shtick.
But there's more to the story, Sandler explained Wednesday.
He said he launched the "bondage" website in Cambodia as a way to help women - all of them adults, he said - who "only knew how to make money through prostitution." He said he figured an Internet operation was safer for the women than sex with strangers.
He said the "extreme" theme of sexual assault was necessary because he "felt like the women I had weren't attractive enough" for regular pornography.
"I was just trying to help these women," he said. "Calling me a child molester for running a porn site is like calling a gay person a pedophile for being gay."
Bad for business
Such talk, though, doesn't ease the fears of many wharf merchants and visitors. They say Sandler's well-documented past simply doesn't mix with the gimmick he has brought to New York, San Francisco and other places - attracting children to him for photos.
"We're not a supporter of him being here," said Paul Prestige, a waiter at Pompeii Grotto. "None of us are."
"He goes on rants and raves and accuses people of conspiracy theories," said Troy Campbell, the executive director of the Fisherman's Wharf Community Benefits District. "He frightens visitors and locals. Whatever business he's in front of has a horrible day. Their business suffers because he's so off-putting and weird and people just avoid him."
Some self-identified street kids at the wharf are so against Sandler's presence that they've begun a campaign of "street justice." Police said Sandler was threatened by four people on Sunday, and then harassed again later that day by another young man who followed him holding a sign reading "Rape-O."
Hidden motivation?
Sandler said his antagonists are hiding their real motivation - retaliation for his activism against pharmaceutical companies and billionaire Michael Milken's foray into K-12 education. He believes he is the victim of a well-organized smear campaign.
His anti-Semitic rants, he said, were directed only at Milken. Sandler said he doesn't hate Jews - and is, in fact, Jewish.
Sandler, who was released from jail in January following his sentence in the Girl Scouts case, said he likes dressing up as Elmo in San Francisco because there's less competition than in New York or Las Vegas. He said he's never aggressive, though he was cited by police for aggressive panhandling on Sunday.
He said he hopes to stay in San Francisco until Thanksgiving, and then head back to Hawaii and, maybe, check out Colorado and Washington, D.C., as well.
"I just want people to leave me alone," he said. "I just want to do my Elmo stuff."

PARIS--STMicroelectronics NV (STM, STM.FR, STM.MI), Europe's largest semiconductor maker by revenue, plans to exit its loss-making cellphone-chip joint venture, as the company reels from the shrinking market for cheaper, low-end phones.
The Geneva-based company said Monday that it is currently in negotiations on "exit options" for its ST-Ericsson joint venture with Ericsson ERIC, -0.36%, as part of a broader strategic plan that aims to refocus STMicroelectronics on products like motion sensors and chips for cars that it hopes can return the company to profitability.
"The new ST will be more focused, leaner and better positioned to deliver value to our customers and our shareholders," said Carlo Bozotti, STMicro's chief executive, adding that the company is targeting an operating margin of 10%.
STMicroelectronics said it expects to exit ST-Ericsson after a transition period that will end in the third quarter of 2013, but will continue to work with the company, as a supply-chain partner and an intellectual property provider. The company's parents have already hired a bank to look at potential buyers, according to a person involved with the process.
In a separate statement, ST-Ericsson, which began a new round of steep cost-cutting in the spring, said that it is "putting its strategy into effect in a consistent and aggressive manner," adding that it will honor its promises to clients and suppliers.
STMicro, which was formed in the 1987 merger of the French and Italian state-owned chipmakers, has been struggling for the last several years, as the shrinking market for low-end cellphones and the decline of Nokia have dragged heavily on ST-Ericsson, which has never turned a profit.
STMicro's stock closed Friday at $6.48 in New York trading, up 41% from a low in July, but still down a quarter from late March as woes at ST-Ericsson have weighed on profit.

MILPITAS, California 2015, December 03, 2015 – SanDisk Corporation (NASDAQ: SNDK), a global leader in flash storage solutions, and Supermicro, a global leader in Green Computing solutions for the data center, cloud and enterprise, today announced a strategic alliance to bring out a unique class of next-generation software defined all-flash storage solutions for the data center. At the core of this collaboration are SanDisk's InfiniFlash™ System—a high-capacity and extreme-performance flash-based storage system and Supermicro's leading high-performance servers. The joint solution aligns with the growth of disaggregated data centers propelled by Big Data and cloud environments.
These solutions will also be made available with Nexenta's flagship Open SDS unified file and block storage platform, and the NexentaStor™ platform.
InfiniFlash is a next-generation storage platform created by SanDisk offering 5x the density, 50x the performance and 4x the reliability, while consuming 80 percent less power than traditional hard disk drive (HDD) arrays. InfiniFlash also delivers breakthrough pricing for an all-flash hardware solution starting at less than $1 per gigabyte (GB) for an all-flash system without requiring compression or de-duplication technologies. With software stacks that offer data reduction schemes, the effective cost/GB goes down even more significantly to unprecedented levels (example: 20 cents/GB based on a 5X data reduction factor).
Scale-out Solution
The InfiniFlash IF500 for Openstack/CEPH combined with Supermicro servers significantly lowers the cost of private cloud data storage in a petabyte-scale OpenStack® environment. Scaling out adds compute and storage capacity nodes to an existing configuration, delivering a massive capacity, high-density, all-flash storage system with scalable performance and breakthrough economics for customers with big data storage requirements.
Scale-up Solution
Nexenta software plus Supermicro and InfiniFlash IF100 System brings proven legacy storage functionality to Enterprise and Cloud customers, for workloads such as File, Print, Cloud Backend and general Shared Virtual Infrastructure. This all-flash joint solution provides data center customers with a pre-tested, full-featured, cost-effective, high-performance system for addressing today's increasing challenges. Capable of scaling up to four Petabyte (PB) configurations, this solution delivers the industry's best value for high-performance, mature, unified block and file services featuring ultra-low and consistent sub-millisecond response times and more than 8 Million flash IOPS in a rack.
"Our partnership with Supermicro and Nexenta brings the best of both worlds to data centers: breakthrough economics compared to traditional all-flash array deployments, and dramatically higher performance, improved reliability and lower power consumption compared to hard disk drive-based arrays," said Ravi Swaminathan, vice president and general manager, System and Software Solutions, SanDisk. "These offerings will enable customers to economically deploy flash at petabyte-scale, which will drive business growth through new services and offerings for their end-customers."
"Supermicro end-to-end computing solutions deliver the best performance, efficiency, scalability and reliability needed in the rapidly evolving all-flash storage system market," said Don Clegg, vice president of Marketing and Business Development, Supermicro. "Our collaboration with SanDisk and Nexenta to develop integrated, all-flash based storage solutions accelerates deployment of next-generation storage technologies, maximizing performance per watt, per dollar, and per square foot to drive down overall TCO with our economies of scale."
"The market-leading combination of NexentaStor OpenSDS solution, SanDisk's InfiniFlash solution and Supermicro systems delivers key differentiators around functionality and performance," said Tarkan Maner, CEO of Nexenta. "These solutions literally break new ground and make all-flash storage economically practical for a wide range of use cases, from high-performance databases to virtualized environments, big data lakes and extra dense active archive repositories."

New Bern Bears: Predicted record: 9-2. Season outlook: The Bears lost 34 seniors from last year's 4A state championship squad. They will go undefeated in their new conference, and advance to the state semifinals. Biggest game: vs. Havelock (Aug. 30).
Havelock Rams: Predicted record: 11-0. Season outlook: With running backs Derrell Scott and Taylor Woods in the backfield, the Rams' offense is lethal. There is no reason the Rams shouldn't win the conference championship and their third-straight state title. Biggest game: at New Bern (Aug. 30).
West Craven Eagles: Predicted record: 6-5. Season outlook: The Eagles appear to be improved at quarterback, and return several talented skill players. The Eagles have tough non-conference games against Edenton Holmes, New Bern and D.H. Conley. But in conference play, West Craven will finish in second place. Biggest game: vs. Havelock (Nov. 8).
Pamlico Hurricanes: Predicted record: 7-4. Season outlook: This is not the same team Pamlico fans have seen the past two seasons. Assistant coach Mike Twichell said this team could be better than the 2010 team that went 6-5. The non-conference slate is tough, but the Hurricanes will be tested enough to win the Coastal Plains Conference. Biggest game: vs. Jones Senior (Nov. 1).
Jones Senior Trojans: Predicted record: 1-10. Season outlook: Jones Senior won the final two games of the regular season to sneak into the postseason last year. The non-conference schedule is brutal, and the conference slate will be challenging for a young Trojans' team. They will miss the playoffs for the first time in eight seasons. Biggest game: at East Carteret (Nov. 8).

New Bern Bears: Predicted record: 9-2. Season outlook: New Bern will have another solid season, just not a state championship. I think they lose their first two games (Aug. 23 to Hillside and Aug. 30 to Havelock). That being said, I believe the Bears roll through an easier conference and reach the third round of the 4A state playoffs. Biggest game: Aug. 30 versus Havelock.
Havelock Rams: Predicted Record: 11-0. Season outlook: Havelock lost a ton of talent, but also returns a ton. Two of the best running backs in the state and a smash-mouth defense will lead the Rams to a third-straight 3A state championship. Biggest game: Aug. 30 at New Bern.
West Craven Eagles: Predicted record: 5-6. Season outlook: West Craven is a better team than 5-6, however a brutal non-conference schedule will not help them any. I think the Eagles reach the second or third round of the state playoffs as a deadly sleeper team. Biggest game: Oct. 25 at Jacksonville.
Pamlico Hurricanes: Predicted record: 7-4. Season outlook: Pamlico is young, but also talented. Barring key injuries, the Hurricanes should be able to use their athleticism to be strong in the new-look Coastal Plains Conference and make it to the playoffs in Kevin Yost�s first year. Biggest game: Nov. 1 versus Jones Senior.
Jones Senior Trojans: Predicted record: 3-7. Season outlook: The Jones Senior Trojans are even thinner than Pamlico. They lost several key players but return some quality starters. Still, I think the Trojans finish 3-7 and miss out on the playoffs. Biggest game: Nov 1 at Pamlico.

Homeland Security official urges private industry and government cooperation to make cybersecurity a priority.
NEW YORK -- Private industry and governments need to make cyber security a priority, no matter what the cost, in order to defeat hackers and terrorists and to keep operations running during a crisis, a federal official said here Tuesday.
Private industry owns and operates more than 85 percent of the country's critical infrastructures. "That means the federal government cannot address these cyber threats alone," said Greg Garcia, the Homeland Security assistant secretary who heads the national cyber-security division.
Garcia addressed the New York City Metro InfraGard Alliance blocks from the World Trade Center site attacked by terrorists Sept. 11, 2001. InfraGard is a partnership between the FBI, local law enforcement and the private sector aimed at protecting critical infrastructures, including technology systems.
"You all know our adversaries will stop at nothing to destroy the infrastructures we all work so hard to protect. ... We're all at risk, we're all responsible. and there's much more we have to do to protect our critical systems," Garcia said. "New York is the world's financial nucleus. ... As Wall Street goes, so does the rest of the economy."
About $5.5 trillion to $6 trillion runs through the U.S. financial system each day, including paycheck delivery and withdrawals from automatic teller machines. Still, Garcia said, large household-name companies are leaving their networks exposed to infiltration and data theft.
The federal government relies heavily on organizations like InfraGard and information-sharing and analysis centers for specific economic sectors to force industry to take cyber precautions. He said that partnership is particularly important given that hackers are becoming more sophisticated, and that malicious codes and software are now sold cheaply over the Internet.
Garcia said there is a $100 billion market for cyber crime -- more than the illegal drug market. From fiscal 2006 to fiscal 2007, the U.S. Computer Emergency Readiness Team handled more than 37,000 incidents, compared with about 24,000 in fiscal 2006.
"Unfortunately, none of this is going to dissipate if we don't have the same level of coordination and organization our adversaries have against us," Garcia said.
On the government side, the Homeland Security Department's Einstein network monitors systems for abnormalities or intrusions and circulates threat information within hours. Einstein is used by 13 agencies, but Garcia wants all to subscribe.
"There's strength in numbers," the assistant secretary said. "Just like beat cops, out-of-the-ordinary events or activities can tip off cyber responders to potential trouble."
Industry also needs to consider physical threats that could affect networks, such as a pandemic flu outbreak, Garcia said. Companies must ensure that their businesses can operate via telecommuting during a crisis and that their networks don't become bottlenecked, he said. They should boost network security ahead of time to ensure continuity of operations.
If the businesses don't do this, Garcia said, "our economy -- in fact, our very way of life -- is going to be at stake."
Garcia toured the city's wireless network operations and emergency management centers, and spoke with city leaders about how they are managing and securing communications systems designed to operate across jurisdictions.
In March, the department will conduct an exercise to practice coordinated responses to simulated strings of cyber attacks affecting all levels of government and industry.

Hoping to locate Canadian George S. Lyon's long-lost gold medal from the 1904 St. Louis Olympics, the Canadian Golf Hall of Fame is helping produce a documentary chronicling the victory in the sport's only Olympic tournament.
"This is one of the most important golf artifacts in the world," museum director Karen Howison said Thursday at the Canadian Open.
The hall and Early Renaissance Productions hope to complete the film in 2014, two years before golf returns to the Olympics in the Rio de Janeiro Games.
In 1904, the 46-year-old Lyon beat favored American Chandler Eagan in the 12-round, six-day competition. Eagan's silver medal also has been lost.

Collective bargaining is the essence of unionizing and has nothing to do with the hemorrhaging of state funds. It was management, not labor, that invested in the garbage Wall Street was snake-oiling.
One of my co-workers at the Pentagon back in the day came to his job in Washington after a stint as the official food taster for King Idris and Queen Fatima of Libya. Bob was a career U.S. civil servant assigned to Wheelus Air Force Base near Tripoli. Twice a day, he and his driver picked up hot meals flown in by U.S. military aircraft from Athens and transported them to the palace. On the drive, Bob was required to taste every dish in case someone tried to poison the monarchs. His bizarre job was part of our Status of Forces Agreement with Libya. By his third year on the poison watch, the job was beginning to get to him. He may have been the only American elated when Col. Muammar Gaddafi overthrew the monarchy and got him a ticket home.
Sadly, it has taken the Libyans more than 40 years to become disgusted enough with their demented dictator to try to do something about him. This is one Middle Eastern revolution that we should all be excited about. Gaddafi is a monster, notwithstanding his recent renunciation of his long career as the poster boy for terrorist sponsorship and weapons of mass destruction.
At least the governor of Wisconsin is not firing live ammunition into the sea of demonstrators gathered in Madison, in contrast to Gaddafi, the King of Bahrain and other Middle Eastern tyrants. But that is not to say that he is any less hostile to democracy.
The public employee unions in Wisconsin did not cause the financial crisis in which the cheese head state finds itself. It was management, not labor, that invested its workers' and taxpayers' contributions to the public employee pension plan in the garbage Wall Street was snake-oiling. Wisconsin's managers should have known better. Not every state was this stupid or reckless. It was management that flushed these billions down the toilet.
Sure, public employee unions need to contribute much more to their own retirement, just like those of us who spent our careers in the private sector have to do. The piddling 12 percent that Wisconsin state workers are required to contribute to their very generous pension plan is peanuts and needs to be raised. In return, the government has to commit to investing the money wisely and conservatively, with specific sanctions (including rolling heads) if it acts irresponsibly. Gov. Scott Walker is dead wrong to try to limit collective bargaining rights as part of his blatantly ideological and crassly political plan to right his state's dismal finances by busting unions and thereby conveniently diminishing their ability to support Democrats in election years.
Collective bargaining is the essence of unionizing and has nothing to do with the hemorrhaging of state funds. If management is irresponsible or dumb enough to agree to a bad deal with its workers, too bad. No one held a gun to their heads.
Wisconsin is one of those politically competitive states that alternate between Democratic and Republican governors, so the blame for monumental mismanagement is a shared one. Wisconsin is also one of the many states that have a long history of issuing bond prospectuses that were silent about how badly underfunded its pension funds are. By any measure, this is false advertising by management. The public employee unions were not complicit in these lies. Righting Wisconsin's sinking ship of state should not be done at the expense of union bargaining rights.

As we recently announced, we're working with Google to integrate Flash Player into Google Chrome so that when users install or update the browser, they will also receive the latest version of Adobe Flash Player, with no need to do a separate install.
Chrome 5.0 and Flash Player 10.1 have been in beta testing together for the last several weeks. Now as we are preparing our final releases, Google is locking down Chrome 5.0 first, without the beta version of Flash Player 10.1 built-in (since the plug-in will still be in beta when Chrome 5.0 ships). Once we finalize Flash Player 10.1, it will be reintegrated into Chrome shortly.
In the meantime, if you download the latest build of Chrome, the integrated Flash Player will not be enabled by default (though it is still available behind the "-enable-internal-flash" command line flag). However, if you have a version of Flash Player on your system for other plugin-based browsers, Chrome will automatically use the shared version of Flash Player.

Nylon-Netting | 30mm mesh size | knotless | green
Due to the production process this netting is being produced and heat set in the length direction. In case you want a cut from the length please state the required length in metres. The length is measured with stretched (closed) meshes. Please keep in mind that with opened meshes the netting gets up to 30 % shorter.
Knotless netting has a smooth surface. As skins and scales of fishes can't get hurt this is an ideal material for manufacturing fish cages (pens), landing nets, beach seines and other fishing gear for aqua culture.
In general all netting is being produced with diamond shape meshes. If required this netting can be cut to square mesh shape. Diagonal joining seams would have to be accepted.

City living can get a little claustrophobic. Sure your spaces are going to be smaller - anyone who's ever made their way through a Manhattan grocery aisle knows this - but the lack of natural or rustic accents can start to feel oppressive. Tired of steel, plastic and granite? Why not bring a little woodsy charm to your city apartment? But don't makeover your home like a cabin. Rather adopt a rustic chic design style that blends the best of both your worlds!
Consider these four great tips for assembling your rustic and chic city apartment.
1. Head out of town for your furnishings. While Pottery Barn will almost certainly be carrying some stylish and suitably rustic furnishings, chic takes more work than that. Don't settle for imitation antiques and vintage fixtures when the real things are so easy (and fun) to come by. Head out of the city, where shops will charge egregious prices, and hit up some suburban and rural vintage shops and antique barns. Consider planning ahead and finding a really great flea market or estate sale for fantastic deals and the opportunity to do a little bartering!
2. DIY distressing. So you probably can't afford to replace your entire collection of furniture, but why not take what you have and give it an antique or vintage look with a little distressing? Do-it-yourself distressing is a breeze given the right tools and materials. Want to rough up a paint job? Go at it with some sandpaper - this can be especially great for wearing away layers of different color paints for a great effect. Use nails, chains or even a chisel to add character to any piece of furniture. Apply new coats of stain or paint as you see fit.
3. The right boards. Flooring will be key to your rustic chic décor, so be sure to go with a hardwood option that has plenty of built-in character. This doesn't mean dings or scratches, but rather the warm honey or red hues of certain tree species and natural whorls of the wood grain. For a bit of modern convenience, consider having radiant heat installed under your boards. Electric heat systems are a great way to stay warm and conserve energy.
4. No wallpaper. Bring a little modern and minimal style in by keeping your walls simple matte colors. Go for the spatial effects of cool blues or greys to keep your space feeling breathable.

December 08, 2011
LOS ANGELES -- UCLA Anderson School of Management announced that Alan Buckelew, president and chief executive officer of Princess Cruises, has received the 2011 IS Associates Executive Leadership Award. The award, given annually by the leading group of information technology professionals in southern California, recognizes senior executives who do an extraordinary job of leading their companies, while exploiting information technology (IT) within their organization. The award was presented to Buckelew at the IS Associates Executive Leadership Award Dinner on November 30 at the UCLA campus.
"A well-executed corporate strategic vision that incorporates information technology provides a very clear advantage, precisely because it's uncommon," said Judy Olian, dean of UCLA Anderson School of Management. "Alan Buckelew has demonstrated such leadership, using IT as a key asset in growing Princess Cruises' business."
With a career spanning more than 30 years in the cruise industry, Buckelew, a UCLA Anderson MBA graduate ('75), has served as chief executive officer of Princess Cruises since June 2007 and as the line's president since February 2004.

Princess Cruises is part of Carnival Corporation, one of the largest leisure travel companies in the world.
In addition to his role overseeing the Princess brand, Buckelew has served as chief operating officer for Cunard Line from 2004 to 2007, as part of a reorganization of that company's operations, and currently oversees the operation of Carnival Australia - a four ship brand based in Sydney.
"UCLA Anderson IS Associates is pleased to recognize Mr. Buckelew for integrating information technology into Princess Cruises' strategy and execution," said Andrew Beauchamp, an IBM Business Development Executive and Chair of the 2011 Executive Leadership Award Dinner. "His deep understanding of the business as well as information technology has enabled him to focus investments in the areas that drive the biggest improvements for Princess Cruises' customers and employees." IBM is a corporate sponsor of the event.

Way Back to Florida
So like two months ago, Lilly and I got the chance to visit Anne and Fritz in Florida. We left Ash Wednesday and returned home the following Tuesday morning. We had a blast just relaxing, hanging with them, and enjoying the warm weather. That was Lilly's first time flying. Can you believe that she was 9 months old, I think both girls were somewhere between 3 and 4. That is what happens when you know live close to everyone. She did great. We left in the evening on Wednesday and she just took her bottle and then slept most of the time. There was a guy sitting across from us who was thinking "great I get to sit by a baby", but after the flight he even said how amazed at how good she was. Anne and I got to do a lot of talking and she got to hang out with her goddaughter. They had a few cold ones together. No, we didn't do any tourist things and I was okay with that. I didn't think Lilly needed to go to Disney, since she wouldn't remember it anyways. The girls did great being home with grandma, grandpa, and daddy. Chad still had a couple basketball games and actually the girls got to go to Iowa with grandma and grandpa over the weekend to help the Pownell's finish moving in. I needed about 3 days when we got back to recover from being gone, but it was worth it.
