Banana Blueberry and Coconut Smoothie - Crazy Cooking Challenge - Easy
|Edgy photo ... 'cause that's how I roll.
My assignment for this month's Crazy Cooking Challenge was to find a smoothie recipe from another blog, make and post about it. Blueberries are suddenly in season (at least at the local Try-n-Save), so I went a-googlin' for a smoothie of the blueberry persuasion.
Fun facts! According to the US Highbush Blueberry Council, blueberries are a rich source of vitamin C and antioxidants, two things I hope will help get rid of a cold I'm currently fighting.
Anyway, lucky for you, Dear Reader, I happened upon Love at First Bite. Missy's blog has many healthy and delicious-looking recipes. She has published a book with photos as awesome as the recipes. I'm going to have to take some more time later and really dive into her recipes. But right now one particular recipe on her blog is just right for the CCC ... her Blueberry, Banana and Coconut Smoothie.
I did make a few changes. Since there is more banana than blueberry, I
Banana Blueberry and Coconut Smoothie - Crazy Cooking Challenge - Easy
slightly adapted from Love at First Bite
makes 1 large or two smaller servings
2 large, ripe bananas, peeled and cut into chunks
1/2 cup blueberries, frozen
1/2 cup ice cubes
1/4 cup shredded sweetened coconut, plus more to garnish
1 tablespoon honey
1 cup plain Greek yogurt (low or no-fat okay)
up to 1/4 cup of milk (optional)
|The blueberries are hiding... they are camera-shy.
Place all ingredients in a blender (if you have one) or a food processor (if you don't). Avoid spilling yogurt on the floor ... unless you have a canine cleanup crew.
Blend/process until the racket from all those ice cubes grinding has subsided and the smoothie is smooth.
Add milk to thin if you only have narrow straws or want to stretch the servings. Pour into 1 tall glass or two polite smaller ones. Top with a teaspoon or so of additional sweetened coconut and pop in a straw. Serve immediately.

Ebola Outbreak Economics
The tragic Ebola outbreak in West Africa became a leading news topic around the world. And like all hot topics, it generated a tremendous amount of data from various sources. When looking at epidemic data, it's important to recognize and understand how events related to an epidemic can have negative regional and global impacts that can make controlling an epidemic more challenging.
For example, if villagers aren't planting crops because they are too sick or scared to leave their homes, this could result in malnutrition or starvation in the future. And if other countries depend on those crops, not receiving them could prevent those countries from providing needed aid.
This interactive report created with SAS Visual Analytics focuses on readily available public data that outlines the economic impact associated with the Ebola outbreak.

Date: October 15, 1998
Description: Message to Bankers/Examiners
The Financial Management Service of the Department of the Treasury published the attached final rule in the Federal Register on September 25, 1998. The final rule implements provisions of the Debt Collection Improvement Act of 1996, known as Electronic Funds Transfer 99 (EFT 99). The Act requires that all federal payments (other than those under the Internal Revenue Code) be made by EFT beginning January 2, 1999, unless waived by the Secretary of the Treasury.
The final rule establishes the circumstances under which waivers are available; sets forth requirements for accounts to which federal payments may be sent by EFT; provides that any individual who receives a federal benefit, wage, salary or retirement payment shall be eligible to open a low-cost Treasury-designated account, called an Electronic Transfer Account or ETA , at a financial institution that offers such accounts; and sets forth the responsibilities of federal agencies and recipients under the regulation.
The final rule expands the hardship waiver provisions of the proposed rule by allowing individuals to make self-determinations that a hardship exists and to choose to receive payments by check. In the future, individuals who receive federal benefit, wage, salary or retirement payments will be eligible to open a low-cost account, called an ETA . The Treasury will determine the attributes of this account and federally-insured financial institutions will have the option to enter into an ETA Financial Agency Agreement with the Department of the Treasury.
In anticipation of EFT 99, some financial institutions have entered into, or plan to enter into, arrangements with non- depository providers of federal payments services, such as check cashers or money transmitters. Such arrangements may involve giving customers access to EFT deposits in their insured accounts through an uninsured third-party provider. As conveyed in OCC Bulletin 98-15, the Treasury Department has requested that financial institutions that participate in such arrangements voluntarily provide disclosures to customers that fully and fairly convey information about the fees and costs imposed by all of the parties to the arrangement, the legal relationships involved and the applicability of federal deposit insurance insofar as it is relevant to the arrangement.
The attached final rule and other explanatory information are available on the Internet at http://www.fms.treas.gov.

The premise of Stuntman: Ignition remains simply this. Drive your vehicle through a level of pre-loaded stunts, crashes and explosions in as stylish, danger-fueled and timely a manner as possible in order to provide your director with some awesome motion picture footage. Stuntman: Ignition is set to arrive on Xbox 360, PlayStation 2 and PlayStation 3 later this summer, but for now, THQ has only supplied me with a solitary playable level from the Xbox 360 version, called Aftershock. The level involves all manner of lava-based explosions as a nearby volcano starts to erupt. Outside of this level, every single other option of the game was locked down, but from scanning the menus I can tell you that aside from a single-player career mode, there'll also be a multi crash mode (similar to the Burnout series' crash mode, perhaps?), a stunt constructor mode, a quick fix mode, and the obligatory fluffy extras.
Aftershock is comprised of three different scenes, which in the end will produce a movie trailer. In order to make this particular trailer, I needed to score 150 on the apprentice difficulty level across the three different scenes. Scene one, called Lava Flow, features a gorgeous red sports car, which is gunning through a lava-brimming town and down a mountain road. Key elements here are purposely igniting the car (pressing the action button at certain context-sensitive moments), driving through a car wash to extinguish the flames, and then racing through the finale, a huge explosion.
Scene two, called First Tremor, puts you behind the wheel of a clapped-out SUV which must jump its way onto a firey bridge while avoiding jets of erupting lava and dodging other hapless drivers. Finally, the third scene, Escape, slaps you into a cop car for which the marquee stunt is a reverse 180 in a parking garage, which then makes you crash out of the second-story landing beyond a river of lava. Pretty hot stuff.
Blow Me Up!
Thankfully, this is not quite a difficult as it all sounds. There's a seemingly robust driving engine in place in Stuntman: Ignition which gives each car its own unique feeling and handling. Between acceleration, braking and power sliding, you'll be forced to squeeze through narrow gaps, trade glancing blows with other cars, jump ramps, and all manner of other hair-raising stuntery. I found that the key to success here -- just like in the first game -- is basic memorization of the events. It's actually really easy to screw up a run the first few times, but the scenes are short enough to replay over and over again while not becoming too frustrating or repetitive.
While the visuals are of a high standard, there's still some slowdown and glitching that needs to be addressed, but I'm confident these issues will be resolved in the future. It's tough to say how well the final product will pan out, given the brief encounter with the Aftershock stage. Stuntman: Ignition could go the route of the first game quite easily, but it also has the potential to go the other way and eradicate all of the issues from the past. THQ is promising me more play time soon with more levels, so let's see what happens going forward. Keep those fingers crossed.

A Sandwich A Day: A Featherweight Pork Loin at Kitty's Cafe in Kansas City
A different sandwich profiled every single day.
I'd like to think that I've only disappointed my wife a handful of times in the 15 years we've known each other, but I can admit that I still regret it took me a year to introduce her to the Pork Loin Sandwich ($5.20) at Kitty's Cafe in Kansas City.
Kitty's is a square box of a place, where the line keeps the door propped open for the noon lunch hour. It's cash-only at this Midtown spot, which opened in 1951, but the most expensive thing on the menu is the fresh catfish sandwich ($5.60). Everybody is big time here. In the mornings, men in winter hats fork over 90 cents in change for two pieces of wheat toast. Later in the day, contractors and nurses alike wrap two hands around a double cheeseburger ($4.50).
Pork tenderloins are deep-fried, breaded pork cutlets that are essentially the edible flag of the Midwest (in particular, Indiana, where reputations are defined by the quality of this sandwich). In Kansas City, tenderloins are typically anvils—a thick slab of pig flopping out both ends of a bun. But at Kitty's, the pork loin sandwich is delicate. Tender, pastel-pink pork awaits within a golden brown coating that has a wonderful crackle. It's the kind of sandwich that you eat in increasingly large bites, then immediately debate ordering another.
Three slices of pig, each roughly the size and shape of a fried green tomato, are fried in a batter more tempura than corn dog. The crunchy meat wafers are then stacked on a bed of shredded lettuce, chopped tomatoes, pickle slices, and raw white onion. The upside down arrangement keeps the tenderloins from getting soggy. Mayonnaise and hot sauce are optional, though the latter adds a piquant note to the mild pork that makes it a standard choice for regulars. The triple stack is held in place by a toothpick and cornmeal-dusted buns.
Pigs can't fly. But Kitty's is proof that when pork is done right, it can be light as air.

A concern that's been on the tip of the Android community's tongue lately is hardware acceleration. It's something we've been waiting for for a while now, and it looks like Ice Cream Sandwich will finally deliver.
Hardware acceleration allows for a buttery smooth user experience, better graphic performance, and better responsiveness within apps. The sheer volume of improvements coming in Ice Cream Sandwich is astonishing, and I have a feeling we haven't heard about all that ICS has to offer yet.

Grant to Support College Legacy Loan ProgramPosted: Updated:
Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College has been awarded a Charles E. Schell Foundation for Education grant. The $100,000 will help fund a legacy loan program. College Director of Financial Aid Darla Hopper says the initiative is part of efforts to make higher education attainable. November 22, 2013
News Release
(Saint Mary of the Woods College, Ind.) - The Charles E. Schell Foundation for Education recently awarded Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College (SMWC) a grant to fund the Charles E. Schell Foundation Legacy Loan Program.
"More than 95 percent of our campus population receives some type of aid to pay for their education costs," states Darla Hopper, SMWC director of financial aid. "Being able to offer the Charles E. Schell loan is just one more way we strive to make obtaining a college degree from SMWC attainable."
The Charles E. Schell Foundation for Education, Fifth Third Bank, Trustee, Cincinnati, Ohio, grants funds to colleges and universities to provide interest-free educational assistance loans to qualified students to aid them in securing an education that, but for the loaned funds, probably would not be attainable.
The Charles E. Schell Student Loan Programs are funded with grants for $100,000, payable over four (4) years, and subject to the Last Will and Testament of the late Charles Edson Schell. The Charles E. Schell Foundation for Education was established by the will of the late Charles Edson Schell and is administered by Fifth Third Bank, Trustee, to provide a means for qualified students to manage the cost of higher education without undue hardship. Students may use the funds for billable student expenses, including tuition, fees, books, or room and board.
"The Schell Foundation Grants are a perfect vehicle to deliver on the Fifth Third Bank promise of truly impacting the communities we serve," said Nancy Huber, president and CEO of Fifth Third Bank Central Indiana. "We're very proud to partner with Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College in ensuring our talented young people have every opportunity to succeed."
"This loan means a lot to me because without it I would not be able to stay at The Woods," states recipient, Whitney Teeters, SMWC accounting major. "It feels like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders."
The loan is available to campus or distance students who maintain a minimum 2.0 GPA, are from families of moderate means, are ages 18 to 25 years, and are citizens of Indiana, Kentucky, Maryland, Michigan, Missouri, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Virginia, or West Virginia. Under the conditions of the sponsor, the Schell loans are interest free. Recipients will be asked to complete an application and arrange a repayment schedule to meet their obligations to repay the loan in order to make funds available to future students.
"SMWC is grateful for the generosity of the Charles E. Schell Foundation and Fifth Third Bank," states Hopper. "This loan gives our students more opportunities for success."

Every female director who's been nominated for an Oscar
On January 31st, The Guardian published an article titled "Why are there so few female filmmakers?" Less than a month later, Kathryn Bigelow became the first woman to win the director's prize at the 62nd Directors' Guild of America Awards. Then, in March, she repeated that feat at the 82nd Oscars, where only three women (Lina Wertmüller, Jane Campion and Sofia Coppola) have previously even been nominated. Although membership of the Academy remains secret, it's probably fair to assume that it's disproportionatly male. What is known is that, when it was founded in 1927, there were 33 male members and three females (Mary Pickford, Jeanie MacPherson and Bess Meredyth) – or 8%.

The Survey: Prohibition
Photo credit: Harvard University Press
4 comments:

I don't thing anyone needs to be defensive regarding teaching prohibition, one of the greatest failures of government policy in US history. It's still the prime example of how laws completely out of harmony with human nature are not only bound to fail, but create collateral catastrophe. My own example of the prohibition mentality at work today would be our immigration policies.

Robert Post published an excellent article on Prohibition in the William and Mary Law Review in 2006. I like it because of its attentiveness to changes over time in the "theory and practice of American federalism" (Post argues that Prohibition "caused a major crisis" in this regard) and its description of the problematic enforcement efforts (an administrative capacity point).

Owning a yacht would be a dream for most of us, but despite it being simply part of everyday life for Mr Chad Hudnut, it still seems as if he's living a fantasy. "Even if you are just heading out for a quick sail around the harbour, the minute you step on a sailboat you get the feeling you can go anywhere." With a voice set constantly to "at ease", island life in Nantucket - where he divides half his year with New York - is something life-long sailor Mr Hudnut has enjoyed since 2000. Growing up in the Midwest, he cut his teeth as a youngster on the lakes of his hometown and, after honing his skill in Maine, never looked back. "There was a position on an 80ft schooner heading out to Florida, so I hopped on board. I spent several years sailing between New England and the Caribbean, and eventually landed here." He was soon snapped up to captain a new boat (Mustang - as seen in the pictures above - was designed by naval architect Mr Joel White) and manage a yacht programme, which includes Nantucket Race Week and the Opera House Cup - the largest and oldest wooden-boat sailing regatta on the East Coast.
Mr Hudnut spends his work days checking in with his crew, mending line and fixing sails. "There's always a project or two - even down to stocking some beers on board," he says. And, as you can imagine, downtime isn't too shabby either. "There are beaches all the way around the island - you can find yourself totally alone. I try and get up early and head out, take a coffee, go for a surf."
Various projects take him away from the water, too. He is currently working with sailing brand Atlantis Weather Gear on a collaboration with Maine shoemaker Rancourt & Co. Having given the green light to Mr Hudnut's designs for versatile yacht wear, pieces should be available mid-August. "Often you'll be sailing and have to go to dinner immediately after. All the shoes available look silly around town. I wanted to create something that bridged the gap." Indeed, for a man who likes to sail in "shorts and a button-down" as much as technical gear, it's clear that he takes style cues from some MR PORTER favourites. "I admire those classic shots of JFK on his boat. He made casual wear look very sophisticated. Another one would be Paul Newman. He wore that workwear style perfectly."
Click through the shots, below to see Mr Hudnut's summer gear of choice, whether in sailing mode or enjoying some much-deserved shore leave.

On the title track, Jimmy Page's 12-string doubleneck Gibson SG takes on multiple personalities from a freeform, almost acoustic sound during the breakneck introduction to more aggressive tones later in the song. In all past configurations of my system, the introduction section at high levels sounded like the guitar had a thin, almost glass-like sound that was fatiguing. With the Krells in my system, this effect was gone, having been replaced with a more liquid and three dimensional sound. Robert Plant's vocals had a bit more air around them than I remember previously hearing with this CD, but the impact of John Bonham's snare was most notable. Cymbal crashes had an exciting attack that urged you to keep cranking up the volume as if you had a little devil sitting on your shoulder.
On "Take Me With U," Prince's duet with Apollonia from The Soundtrack From The Motion Picture Purple Rain (Warner Brothers CD), a similar attack can be heard in the rolling drum fills than start the track. What I never heard before was the tiny percussive elements that adorn the high frequencies of the track. They sound like castanets ringing like fine bells with the Krell amps powering in my system. On "When Doves Cry," the absolutely astonishing guitar solo that kicks off the song images as I have never heard it before, dancing on air in front of my Wilson WATT Puppy v6.0's with presence and attack, but nothing edgy. You can hear Prince play the second part of the solo with a percussive feel, thanks to the superior impact of the Krell 350.
Long before Metallica became the laughing stock of rock music for their absurd stance and public babbling relating to downloadable music, they used to put out one hell of a metal record. Their first effort, Kill 'Em All (Elektra/Megaforce Records), was supposed to be named "Metal Up Your Ass," but the label wouldn't let them (a situation sent up by Spinal Tap in their Smell The Glove scandal). That gives you an idea of how hard-rocking this record is, if you are not already in love with it. The energy is raw, far from the over-produced sound in the cuts you can hear every hour on the hour on every "alternative" radio station in America. The bass performance of the FPB 350Mcx shines through this sometimes murky record on tracks like "Jump In The Fire," where bassist Cliff Burton leads this arpeggio-based tune to new heights. The "hit" of Kill 'Em All is "Whiplash," which, with the Krell 350s in my system, highlighted how rich the heavily distorted guitars can sound. Make no mistake, Kill 'Em All is no audiophile record, but it sounds better now with the Krell in the loop than ever before. Any amp can sound good when the only music you play is hand-picked, audiophile records but, as AudioRevolution.com readers know, when investing major cash on an AV component, it isn't so much a matter of whether the good recordings sound better, it is a matter of how good the great performances sound even if they are bad recordings. In this case, a lousy sounding recording was given new life.
Being involved in the debate surrounding the two warring new audio formats, SACD and DVD-Audio, I have been listening to a lot of high-resolution audio lately. One of the most striking examples I heard while auditioning the Krell FPB 350Mcx was not a DVD-Audio or an SACD title, but rather Sting's Ten Summoner's Tales on a 20-bit, 5.1 CD (A&M – DTS Entertainment). Talk about presence: this disc has it. Gordon Sumner's voice was brilliantly upfront and staged with the tastiest dynamics I have heard to date in my room. The bass was perfectly tight yet remained deep and round. The snare had a pop that amazingly blew away the dynamics I heard earlier with John Bonham. Granted, Houses of the Holy is a much older and lower resolution recording, but Bonham's power has a way of overcoming recording techniques of yesteryear. When the song "Heavy Cloud No Rain" breaks down to a virtual chorus of Stings (obviously overdubbed) with no accompaniment, you can hear how impressive surround sound music can be. The Krell's speed, presence and newly-found liquid midrange only makes the sound sweeter.
There is a gas station in the Brentwood section of West Los Angeles where 104 octane racing fuel is sold for upwards of $4.50 per gallon and rich guys line up on weekend mornings with everything from brand-new 360 Modena Ferraris to Twin Turbo Porsche 911s to turbo-charged Bentleys to get a little extra kick in the pants for their Saturday drives. This is the feeling I got when I cued up the SACD release of the jazz classic Dave Brubeck's Time Out (Columbia – SACD – Stereo). This is a record I have heard over a thousand times on every level of system I have ever owned, from my high school system consisting of Celestion 3 speakers and NAD to my current Bob Hodas-tuned Wilsons, Revel subs, Mark Levinson No. 40 and Transparent Reference system. Never before has this record had so much life, presence or energy. I have spoken about the decay time on the cymbals being a tell-tale test for a system's ability to portray lively information without being bright or agitating. The Krell accelerates with this high-octane recording spitting out sweet sounds as if were a finely-tuned motor. On "Take Five" and the title track, the album displays a wonderful complexity in the piano accompaniment, but Paul Desmond's alto sax steals the show with power that literally hops beyond two-channel stereo and creates a believable music performance.
I was ultimately disappointed by the SACD release of perhaps the greatest pop record of my generation, Michael Jackson's Thriller (Epic -- SACD -- Stereo). While the depth was good compared to the CD version, the highs were still shrill and bright, perhaps worse than what I heard on the CD. Although the Krell is an accurate and powerful amplifier, it isn't able to cover for the recording's weaknesses, resulting in a musical event that doesn't exactly sound smooth, albeit it remains lively. On "P.Y.T.," the ticks on the cymbal that start the track are seemingly too much to take at high levels. Jacko's vocals pop with more energy than I remember, but the top frequencies were tough to take. While I didn't have a tube amplifier to compare with the Krell, this is one of the rare instances where tubes might cover up for recording or format flaws in ways an amp as true to the source as the FPB 350Mcx will not.
Especially because of the 350's dynamics and bass performance, it makes an excellent home theater amplifier. Paying homage to Krell's Italian heritage, I checked out how it handled the third season of The Sopranos (HBO Home Video), which the amps took to new heights. The bass in the theme during the introduction the show is plentiful, but with the Krells in my system, the tune sounded significantly tighter and more lively. In a perfect world, I would consider putting a third Krell 350 on my Wilson WATCH center channel speaker to match the timbre and attack I can hear now hear on the mains. Each amp is small enough to fit in near or behind a high-performance center speaker. In the "Pine Barrens" episode, Pauly Walnuts purposefully drops a Russian criminal's new universal remote on the floor, breaking it. You can hear an ultra-wide soundstage as the remote shatters on the floor. The Russian objects to Mr. Walnut's carelessness, calling him a "cocksucker," so Pauly breaks a glass over the Russian's head and summarily whacks him. The glass breaks with a high-frequency explosion that is shocking but not annoying or overly shrill. It packs just the right amount of surprise without being over the top.
The Downside
I was not able to turn down the powerful blue LED lights on the front of the Krell amps which proved to be a slight problem for me. I love the color of the lights but they can be so bright that at times during intense listening sessions the lights can keep from the ultimate goal of suspension of disbelief. I did learn that the way you can shut the amp lights off is to use a Krell remote which in my case was not included with the amps but they do come as standard equipment on other Krell electronics.
Sonically, the Krell amps are still Krell amps and therefore have a distinctive flavor that is coveted by many but not all. While the presence is better than I ever remembered hearing from past Krell power amps, the sound still is best described as on the "cold" side. With the improvement in bass and midrange on the FPB 350Mcxs, I find the coldness to be much more tolerable. If you are looking for the power of a Krell with the open and warm sound of a tube amp, you have set your expectations too high. The FPB 350Mcx is one of the best solid state amps going, but it is not the best of both worlds. No amp is.
The Krell FPB 350Mcx is about as good as it gets for power amplification. They drive my Wilson WATT Puppies in ways I have previously only heard from my reference Mark Levinson No. 336. The Krell has better bass than the No.336 and has improved liquidity in the midrange, which makes the amp much more pleasing to the ears for recordings ranging from archival CDs to the best-sounding SACDs and DVD-Audio releases.
For those looking to light up a pair of the world's best speakers, it is mandatory that you take a listen to the Krell 350 power amps. They are built to tolerances you would expect from a Swiss watch and look right at home in any tasteful décor. The Krell FPB 350Mcx produces sound about as good as you will hear from any amp, at even the highest prices. Even if you think you know what Krell amps sound like from in-store demos you have heard in the past, take a new listen to these Krell amps. Dan D'Agostino and his team went deep on this project and the results are a spectacular improvement on the Krell sound.

Then I realized it was San Diego that had won 4-2. And, Philadelphia was beating Atlanta 5-0 (they would eventually win 7-0). Holy cow.
Ryan Ludwick's home run in the second inning Friday night might be the biggest hit of the season for San Diego. It snapped their scoreless inning funk at 13, gave them the early lead, and I think both relaxed the Padres and put pressure on the Giants. Who would have thunk that, given how much Ludwick has struggled since the trade.
Tim Stauffer was great. But a one hitter through six? Unbelieveable. Padres scored enough early and held on. Kudos to Luke Gregerson, Mike Adams, and Heath Bell for slamming the door. Well, partial credit goes to Jose Guillen for swinging aggressively and rolling into the 6-3 DP to end it.
I thought after the game "Gee, I think Gregerson, Adams, and Bell have pitched 3 consecutive games. Will they be available Sunday?" Actually it's more than that - Adams has worked in five straight games, Bell and Gregerson 4. This article in the U-T discusses the bullpen. Here's the money quote from Gregerson:
"I told [Darrel Ackerfelds] and Bud (Black) to stop asking me how I feel," said Gregerson. "Let's go. We're trying to win here. It's all hands on deck."Looks like they will pitch Sunday if called upon. I love it. Gregerson's outlook matches mine - they've got all winter to rest if they don't win tomorrow.
San Diego's odds of making the playoffs stood at 7.5% headed into Friday night. Now they stand at 52.3%. Wouldn't you know it, the season will come down to Mat Latos and Jonathan 'Big Mouth' Sanchez. How appropriate. Never going to look back, Big Mouth, once you pass the Padres? Look in the rearview mirror.
There is no pressure at all tomorrow on the Padres. It's all on the Giants. The only thing going for SF right now is they will be part of a one-game playoff they end up tied with someone else. San Diego can't say that, and neither can Atlanta. If either team loses while the other wins, the loser is out. Should make for compelling baseball.
Tear yourself away from the Charger game on your computer and watch the Padres/Giants. Screw the Chargers. They suck for the first 1/4 of the season anyway.

FRISCO, Texas – There really is a silver lining in every cloud. FC Dallas' silver lining comes in the form of an extra two days of rest before beginning their Western Conference semifinal against Real Salt Lake on Thursday at Pizza Hut Park.
Though FCD head coach Schellas Hyndman would have liked to see his team win their season finale against the LA Galaxy, a win would have seen them open their MLS Cup Playoffs schedule on Thursday against Los Angeles.
FCD will get a few extra days of rest before their match against RSL. But that doesn't mean that there wasn't some thought about their playoff fate beforehand.
"Of course, it was a big concern," Hyndman said of his team's potential playoff scenarios. "The way this whole set-up is with the conferences and everything else, you can sit there and have theories about how you want to do it. Would you rather be in the East than the West?"
High Praise for Harris
Atiba Harris had FCD's lone goal of the evening against the Galaxy, a nice headed finish off a great cross from rookie Eric Alexander.
"I thought Atiba was a handful," Hyndman said. "You know what you're going to get with Atiba and it's his best. He's going to give you his best and he's going to work at it. What a great goal he scored on that header."
Harris did pick up a caution in the 45th minute, but that did not diminish his manager's opinion on the performance.
"I think he got called for a yellow card that was an interesting call," Hyndman said. "He ended up getting his nose broken on the call."
Avila in Bench Rotation for Playoffs?
Fellow midfielder Eric Avila came off the bench in the 60th minute for Eric Alexander and provided a nice spark in the FCD attack. His performance in front of friends and family from the San Diego area could be enough to land him some minutes in the playoffs, possibly as an energy guy off the bench.
"I thought he did fine," Hyndman said. "He brought to us what we were hoping for, which was quick in the midfield and penetration, whether it was a shot, a pass or a dribble. It was just hard for him to get past them. They had four midfielders back and four defenders back. The passing lanes were very difficult and if you tried to dribble by them, they would either knock him off balance or foul him."
Unexpected Minutes for Ihemelu
After the game, Hyndman admitted his plan was to keep center back Ugo Ihemelu on the bench for the entire night. Ihemelu had returned to the starting XI in last weekend's loss at RSL after missing the previous 10 games with a concussion. In the second half at Rio Tinto Stadium, he suffered a hamstring injury and was limited in practice this week.
Rookie Zach Loyd started in his place on Sunday evening but Ihemelu was pressed into duty when versatile Brazilian rookie Jackson Gonçalves had to leave the game in the second half with an injury.
"He didn't really put himself in the situation where he had to sprint away and chase after anything at full speed" the FCD manager said of Ihemelu. "One time, there was a ball with [Landon] Donovan and he just took it away from him. He decided not to mess with it and put it out of bounds. That was smart on his part. I thought he did very well."

After each semester, student transcripts are reviewed by the Assistant Dean for Academic Programs, who informs the Dean of any students not making satisfactory progress. Satisfactory progress is defined as:
- Cumulative GPA equal to or greater than 3.0. CSS students require GPA 2.0 or greater.
- No more than five total incompletes for the MDiv and MDiv/MA and three total incompletes for all other programs.
- Completion of at least 75% of the course units for which the student was registered in a Fall or Spring semester term (the "W", "I", and the "F" indicate non-completion).
Note that merit scholars may lose or compromise their scholarship if they do not meet safisfactory academic progress. For more information on this policy, consult the PSR Financial Aid page.
A student who does not fulfill the conditions for satisfactory academic progress is automatically placed on academic probation. The Assistant Dean for Academic Programs informs the student and advisor of this action. The student is required to meet with their advisor before the start of the semester.
A student on academic probation must register for PSR courses for at least half their load each term during academic probation. Non-PSR courses repeated to resolve a failed course do not need to be counted in this half.
The student is removed from academic probation if he or she is making satisfactory progress at the end of a probationary semester. The Assistant Dean for Academic Programs informs the student and advisor of this action.
A student may remedy the situation for which probation was imposed by:
- bringing one's GPA to the required level.
- satisfactorily repeating a required course in which a D, F, or incomplete was received. A grade of "W" or "WF" will replace the D or F. The new grade will appear with the course in the semester it was re-taken
- satisfactorily completing the following semester's work, if less than 75% of the coursework in the previous semester was completed
If a student has not met the terms of satisfactory academic progress at the end of the probationary semester, a hearing with the Assistant Dean for Academic Programs and Faculty Advisor is held before the end of the first week of the next semester. Based upon this hearing, the Assistant Dean for Academic Programs may require a second hearing with the Dean present. At the conclusion of this second hearing, a recommendation will be made to the PSR Faculty aregarding the student's future status, either 1) continued probation with or without specific conditions the faculty may require or 2) dismissal from the academic program.
1. Continued Probation. The recommendation for continued probation might be made if there is improvement in the GPA that would suggest that the student could reach the GPA required for graduation within a reasonable period, or if the low cumulative GPA seems to be the result of an isolated semester of poor grades. If a student is permitted to continue on probation for a second semester, the hearing will be repeated if the conditions for satisfactory academic progress are not met after the end of the second probationary semester.
2. Dismissal. If academic progress is not being made at the end of the probationary semester, the Dean may recommend that the faculty act to dismiss a student immediately. A student cannot apply for re-admission after dismissal for academic reasons for at least one year (two semesters) following the dismissal. Re-admission is contingent upon the approval of the Admissions Committee.
Federal standards require that students receiving any form of federal assistance to be in good standing, making satisfactory academic progress. Therefore, the student placed on academic probation is also placed on financial aid probation for up to one year. If the student regains satisfactory progress, financial aid will continue. If the student fails to meet the standards after two semesters of probation, aid will be discontinued.
Students who exceed two semesters of academic probation and are in jeopardy of compromising their financial aid status and/or enrollment status may request an appeal to this policy due to exceptional circumstances. Appeals must be made in writing to the Dean before the first day of the third semester on probation and must describe the nature of the exceptional circumstances. In some cases, the Dean may decide to consult the faculty for a decision on the appeal. Students who invoke the appeal process may do so only once during their program at PSR
policy approved by faculty as of February 2010

Faber Rangehoods: Kitchen Ventilation 101, CFM – what is it?
Another of the most frequently asked questions in our stores is "What is the maximum CFM I can have on my hood/over-the-range (OTR) microwave before I have to look into a make-up air system?"
The answer is 300 CFM, but why (other than it's Minnesota code)?
Faber Rangehood's blog answered that question, plus offered a good explanation of the misunderstood CFM.
Also, a situation of negative pressure could also occur when too much air is pulled out of the home and it is not replaced by air from the outside. In today's construction the homes are becoming more and more air tight and when too much air is pulled out of a home, you need to sometimes "make up" for that lost air by pumping outside air into the home. In colder climates this is a huge issue, in most parts of Canada there are laws in place about maximum cfm's before a make up air system has to be installed (typically 300 cfm is the threshold).
Sub-Zero / Wolf Drastically Cuts Carbon Output
Rumor mill blog Appliance Advisor reported that Sub-Zero and Wolf ditched their carbon- and platinum-finish lines, along with several handle options. I previously blogged about the distinctive look of carbon.
Guess it's not for everyone.
Energy Star Appliances May Not All Be Efficient, Audit Finds
The New York Times reported an internal audit conducted by the Deparment of Energy concluded the Energy Star program needed tighter tracking of appliance manufacturers using the energy-efficient label.
Some believe this wakeup call will lead to tighter standards and perhaps will supply the push needed to create a "super star" program IDing the top 5% of energy-efficient appliances.
Warners' Stellian, in cooperation with Minnesota Greenstar, already promotes distinction of appliance energy use by tiers.
Declutter and Purge Your Kitchen to the Necessities, the Checklist
Do you really need two garlic presses? If you think you do, you need some serious help. I found just that help on Hello Kitchen (via Lifehacker). Print out the cute and practical kitchen checklist to separate necessity from redundancy. Pull each item to a quilt spread near your kitchen, and donate what remains.
Minnesota to get $5 million for rebates on appliances
Details are still being hashed out by the Minnesota DOE on the $5 million "dollars for diswashers" Energy Star-rated appliance rebate program, funded by federal stimulus program.
Our own operations director/co-owner Robert Warner helped advise the team responsible for state's plans for the money (which appliances if replaced would make the biggest energy dent, etc.)
The program, which is expected to begin in March, has yet to receive approval, but it probably look something like this:
- $200 for refrigerators/washers
- $150 for dishwashers
- $100 for freezers
The program limits one appliance rebate per household, meaning about 25,000 households will get a rebate.
Some say the months-away start will delay appliance purchase, but with the energy savings lost in waiting several months to purchase (see Energy Star's savings calculator) and the current low prices characteristic of this season, buying now could be an even better deal — with less-crowded showrooms 🙂
If you're contemplating a purchase and you don't know what to think or if you just want to know more about the program, please call me at our corporate office (Google it) or contact me at jawarner (at) warnersstellian (dot) com (sorry, don't want any spammers!) with any questions about the forthcoming program. I'll e-mail/call you with more details as they're finalized.

Taken to the extreme
Fine print – October 2011
It appears I have become an extremist. I know this because other people have declared it to be so. They are thoughtful and reasonable citizens, with a grip on reality much firmer than my own — or so they indicate — which means, ipso facto, I'm an extremist simply by virtue of the fact that I have examined the same set of circumstances as they have but arrived at a different conclusion. I could just attribute this to the state of political debate these days, but here's the oddest thing: The matters in dispute weren't overtly political.
For instance, you may recall that in the summer I wrote about Charlotte-based Duke Energy Corp.'s unerring ability to kick-start conversations about the environment. On the way to making the point that Duke's efforts to be more environmentally responsible inadvertently laid bare the "undeniable reality" that our need for electricity simply can't be reconciled with our desire to keep carbon out of the atmosphere, I cited a couple of facts: First, that coal supplies 46% of the nation's electricity, while alternative sources such as wind and solar provide only 4%; and second, that coal from a single mine in Kentucky generates almost as much power as all wind and solar operations in the country combined. I think reducing carbon emissions can result in nothing but good. Yet I also like having the lights go on when I flip a switch, and I'm well aware of the apocalyptic economic consequences of not having a steady, reliable power supply, which for the moment can't even begin to be provided by alternative sources. So I'm amazed when people blithely pretend that the reluctance to unquestioningly embrace alternative power is a political act rather than an obvious acknowledgment of reality.
But one reader read that column, focused on the facts above and assailed this magazine for publishing an "argument against renewable energy … [that] was mind boggling in its absurdity." Huh? I wasn't making an argument one way or the other, only pointing out that Duke Energy's stab at environmentalism had the effect of causing people to face the reality of our power needs in the present — not in the future when wind turbines dot the landscape, solar panels are bolted onto every structure and the wind always blows and the sun always shines. I thought we had permission from Al Gore to bring up inconvenient truths. Silly me.
But I didn't become a bona fide extremist until a couple of months later, when I used the occasion of President Barack Obama's visit to the Triangle to fulminate about society's acquiescence as government not only grows larger and more intrusive but steadily more inefficient as well. "The idea that government should perform a few important tasks well and efficiently, and otherwise leave us alone, is long gone," I lamented. Would anyone actually make the obverse of that argument: that we should tolerate a government that does lots of things badly and inefficiently? As it turns out, yes — they would.
One online commenter labeled that column "another far right opinion piece," suggested it was just a dog whistle for tea partiers and libertarian true believers and dismissed it as "mainly … deriding our president" (who was actually mentioned only in passing). That was the moment when the sheer craziness of our times sunk in. Urging people to confront the reality of our energy needs, and wanting government to be efficient and nonintrusive, makes me a political outlier. Extremism, thy name is G.D.
Another reader, who thankfully mustered both a civil tone and genuine curiosity, asked me to help him understand the limited-government movement afoot these days. I'll do so now, and begin by noting that the desire for limited government is neither recent nor a tea-party creation. In fact, it was the philosophical starting point when the Founding Fathers debated and crafted the Constitution. They'd had their fill of big government (aka England), and it shows in the finished product. The first 10 amendments, needed to get it adopted, are an exhaustive list of the ways government is required to leave you the hell alone. The size and power of government these days isn't the norm. It's an aberration. Like dissent, limiting the scope of government is an exercise in patriotism.
Besides, let's not kid ourselves: Everyone is in favor of limited government. Conservatives want government out of the boardroom, while progressives want government out of the bedroom — and womb, for that matter. Anyone who wrings their hands with despair at the mention of limited government does so only because the wrong things are being snatched back from the government's grasp.
So mine is not "far right wing opinion." Wanting government to tend only to specified, well-defined tasks is squarely in the middle of mainstream thought and American tradition. I think the government should undertake a rigorous regulation of the securities industry, but why should it advise me about my eating habits? The mortgage-securities meltdown happened right under regulators' noses and with the connivance of politicians. The result is that I now have a much diminished retirement account — but, hey, at least I've got a nifty food pyramid to help me with my eating choices. And I'm an extremist because I want government to forget about the second and focus on the first?

With tears and hugs, a grief-rocked Connecticut town said farewell Monday to the first of its slain children: two 6-year-olds being buried in unbearably small coffins on a cold, gray day.
The funerals of first-graders Noah Pozner and Jack Pinto will be followed by two dozen more services over coming days as the other children and staffers murdered at Newtown's Sandy Hook Elementary School on Friday are laid to rest.
A misty rain was in the air as mourners -- many in black, others in school gear emblazoned with a capital "N" -- gathered outside the Honan Funeral Home on Main St. for Jack's funeral. Continue reading.
