SALTILLO, MEXICO — Few outside Coahuila state noticed. Headlines were rare. But steadily, inexorably, Mexico's third-largest state slipped under the control of its deadliest drug cartel, the Zetas.
The aggressively expanding Zetas took advantage of three things in this state right across the border from Texas: rampant political corruption, an intimidated and silent public, and, if new statements by the former governor are to be believed, a complicit and profiting segment of the business elite. It took scarcely three years.
What happened to Coahuila has been replicated in several Mexican states -- not just the violent ones that get the most attention, but others that have more quietly succumbed to cartel domination. Their tragedies cast Mexico's security situation and democratic strength in a much darker light than is usually acknowledged by government officials who have been waging a war against the drug gangs for six years.
"We are a people under siege, and it is a region-wide problem," said Raul Vera, the Roman Catholic bishop of Coahuila. A violence once limited to a small corner of the state has now spread in ways few imagined, he said.


text: Yeats was to explore several more sides of himself, and of Ireland, before his Last Poems of 1938-39. Many are difficult, some snobbish, others occult and spiritualist. As Brendan Kennelly writes, Yeats "produces both poppycock and sublimity in verse, sometimes closely together." On the other hand, many prophetic masterworks are poppycock-free--for example, "The Second Coming" ("Turning and turning in the widening gyre / The falcon cannot hear the falconer; / Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold; / Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world...") and such inquiries into inspiration as "Among School Children" ("O body swayed to music, O brightening glance, How can we know the dancer from the dance?"). And at his best, Yeats extends the meaning of love poetry beyond the obviously romantic: love becomes a revolutionary emotion, attaching the poet to friends, history, and the passionate life of the mind. --Kerry Fried

Contemporary House in Seattle Merges Chic Style with Cool Quirks
The juxtaposition of sleek, contemporary house architecture beside odd and quirky elements is what calls attention to this one-of-a-kind house in Queen Anne neighborhood in Seattle. Architect Jim Burton of Blip Design came at this two-storey home remodel with a two-pronged approach, and an affinity for two very different genres. Chic and funky come together to play off each other, highlighting the other's best features. Meticulous stone bricks meet a vibrant wood facade that almost glows in comparison. A flat roof is met by a pair of wild, upturned wings that top the funky side of this modern home. A lushly landscaped garden flanks each side of a stairway that leads up to the window-clad house. Judging by the bold exterior design, this 4,322-sq.-ft. design delivers on its unspoken promise of modern interiors, which are clean and contemporary by design. The four-bedroom, 3.5 bathroom design is currently listed on the market at a price of $2.4 million. Visit Queen Anne Modern for details. Blip Design.
Modern Twist on Simple Box House in Spain - Thinking Outside the Box
Life in a box is pretty sweet if your box is anything like this ultra modern house designed by the architects at Murado & Elvira. Espejo House located in Badajoz, Spain, puts a contemporary twist on a basic rectangular residence, incorporating rounded corners and a sleek, metal-clad envelope that lends the structure a look of clean simplicity.

On further exploration of this cool design, white is a major player in its interior design. Vivid punches of color come in unexpected places – the turquoise bathroom, and the stop-dead-in-your-tracks red kitchen. Murado & Elvira

Ultra-Modern Concrete House in Yokohama, Japan
Designed by Japan's Torafu Architects, this massive modern structure of concrete boasts a hard exterior edge, which is accentuated by sharp angles and little detail. But on the inside, this home tells quite a different tale. Located in Yokohama, Japan, this modern single-family, single-storey house has become a local landmark among its more traditional neighbors. It's characterized by its unusual shape, which features three projections, pointing upward and topped by skylights. Interiors are unexpectedly sleek and contemporary, taking the same odd shape as dictated by the home's overall form. The result is interior rooms with folded walls and ceilings. Furniture largely consists of build-ins to maximize on every inch of interior living space. Torafu Architects.
Modern "Little White House" in Albert Park, Australia ... with traditional Victorian look

The home is built surrounding two central courtyards with three building components. A wooden deck offers an uninterrupted runway leading through the home's elongated layout, creating continuity between the indoor and outdoor living spaces. Matt Gibson.

The brainchild of Danish Architect Kari Thomsen and Engineer Ole Vanggaard, Easy Domes are a contemporary prefab home design with two ambitions – easy assembly and low energy. One short day can yield this totally functional and ultimately unique house. Originally built in 1992 for the Greenland Society of The Faroah Islands, Easy Domes are now available in a variety of configurations that include the 160-ft. Nature Dome, the 250-ft. Tuft Dome (pictured), the Duo Dome and Family Houses ranging from 500 to 2,200 ft., and the Cultural Dome at 1,000 ft.

This futuristic design offers does not compromise the comforts of home, offering a two-storey layout complete with a living room, kitchen, bathroom and two bedrooms. Another modern twist on the traditional is that these homes are built using eco-friendly materials and methods. The design is vented on the exterior, and insulated with wood and flax. A green roof tops off these homes, complemented by solar roof panels, a wind turbine and other methods to harvest alternative forms of energy. Easy Domes
Prefab House Design in Maryland - Stunning, Stilted, Sustainable Loblolly by Kieran Timberlake Architects
As far as prefabs go, this design has a heightened sense of space. Set on stilts, Loblolly House by Kieran Timberlake Architects has a minimal footprint, and in turn, maximum impact. Located on Taylors Island, a barrier island off the coast of Maryland, this modern house blends nature and architecture in what could well be the future of prefabricated homes. The 2,200-sq.-ft. house is based on a more efficient building method. Thousands of "building blocks" that make up the house were fabricated off-site, and pieced together on location in less than six weeks. The unique home boasts a facade that "flips" open to reveal the outdoors, allowing passive cooling. Alternately, the home can be closed up to channel the sun's energy for off-the-grid heat. Another sustainable feature of the house is in its simple construction – and deconstruction. The home's many parts are designed to disassemble with ease, allowing for repairs, alterations, reclaiming and recycling without harsh environmental impacts. Kieran Timberlake Architects

Futuristic Spaceship-Inspired House Combines Technology and Nature in Frankfurt, Germany
It looks like a vision from a sci-fi flick, not something you'd expect to find in Frankfurt's countryside. But Meixner Schlüter Wendt Architekten has brought its futuristic vision to fruition in this quaint German location. This modern, residential design blends technology and nature with stunning results. For these innovative architects, House F was all about creating a contemporary home that would ease itself into its hilly landscape. Set among the rolling slopes, the home's modern, steeply pitched roof is clad in sheet metal, and resembles a machine in its form and finish. The roof seems to hover, set atop a glass-enclosed main floor. The ground floor of this unique house is quite literally a "ground" floor, submerged beneath the grassy lay of the land.

Modern Residential House Design in Australia, by Chenchow Little Architects - Szirtes has a tree within
This small but sweet residential design in Australia is inspired by practicality, with a twist. Sitting atop a small footprint, the modern Szirtes House, created by Chenchow Little Architects, is enclosed in an aesthetic armor that provides privacy from the outside. But at its heart lies a haven – a tree within an enclosed outdoor courtyard – which is the centerpiece of this contemporary home's ultra-innovative layout. Floor-to-ceilings sliding-glass doors open onto this inner sanctum. Inside, each room offers a piece of this curious light-filled box, which beams through the center of this house with natural light and an unexpected taste of the outdoors. Chenchow Little

Passive Cooling and Local Building Materials for the Palmyra Palm House in India
With more than 800 uses for the Palmyra Palm tree, Indian-born architect Bijoy Jain of Studio Mumbai has come up with number 801, making it the centerpiece of his contemporary, eco-friendly and fashionably functional modern house design. The Palmyra House rests on a coconut plantation in eastern India's coastal town of Alibaug, on the outskirts of Mumbai. A short drive to the city puts this resort-inspired beach house within easy reach of urban amenities, but just far enough to enjoy peace and privacy. This waterfront home's exotic location lends a distinct flavor to its luxurious look and authentic feel. Built of locally sourced Palmyra wood, the innovative louvered design is naturally ventilated and shaded, making it a sound sustainable choice for this tropical climate. The house encompasses 3,000 sq. ft. within a pair of structures that are separated by a 25-ft. wide courtyard. Studio Mumbai

Thoughtful T House Design Overlooking San Francisco
This modern house on the hill suits its surroundings to a T. The innovative architects at Ogrydziak/Prillinger had a few considerations in their plans for T House in San Francisco, California. The thoughtful T shape design maximizes on the breathtaking view and the available usable land, without obstructing the view enjoyed by neighboring homes. T House sits embedded in the steep hillside, offering a low profile when viewed from the top. But as the slope drops deeper and deeper, the house rises out from the hillside and overhangs the magnificent valley. The T shape allows for plenty of private yard space, flanking the home with two courtyards at its sides, and a large open space at the rear. Inside, the home boasts contemporary finishes and a sleek style that's warmly offset by wood floors and ceilings, exposed beams and columns, and large windows to frame the endless views where city meets sky.

January 14, 2009
For 7 years, the American colonists saw red everywhere they looked. British troops had taken over their towns. Colonists had put up with increasing taxation, being spied on and having their normal, day-to-day lives scrutinized. One cold night in Boston in 1775, an altercation turned deadly and before it was over British troops had shot and killed five colonists. That was a turning point. By then the gloves were off and those who lived in the new world were ready to fight for freedom. Some thought it would be best to just let King George and his army increase taxes and restrictions unchecked. Others knew fighting back was the only way they would stand a chance of securing freedom for themselves and their children. As British subjects, the colonists were fighting for their freedom against their own government!
The antagonism that had been growing ever since the British sent armies to occupy towns and enforce more tax burdens led to the American Revolution.
In 2009, we face a similar situation. We can choose to stand up to increasing government tyranny or we can consider ourselves subjects who had best just take the path of least resistance.
In a matter of days, we will watch as a man who is doubtless not even eligible to be president takes office. He will swear to uphold the same Constitution he has so often spat upon through his contempt for its intent and disregard for its restraints.
Those who have been paying attention know that Barack Obama's stated plans include unprecedented battering of the 2nd Amendment. That is in addition to what critics have called a "tax rampage" that will add a crushing blow to Americans already reeling from the effects of government's meddling in the economy. Under Obama, the redistribution of wealth that both Republicans and Democrats have implemented for decades will kick into overdrive. That will prove lethal to our way of life. Get ready to see some Americans paying tax rates of over 50%. We will become like the Canadians who now have access to the best health care - right across the border in the U.S.
Doubt the result of "universal health care"? Then, talk to cancer patients in B.C. or Saskatchewan or Alberta who have been sent home to die because they do not qualify for treatment under their "free-for-all" system.
Under an Obama presidency and with Congress complicit in all his Constitutional crimes and misdemeanors, we will see an increased minimum wage choke the life out of what's left of small and large businesses alike.
Abortion will become a sacrament under this gruesomely pro-death man.
The troop surge (that was such a rousing success in Iraq) will now be applied to another insane and immoral war- this time in Afghanistan.
predictions should not be taken to presage our demise.
Just like the colonists in Boston back in 1775, we can choose to stand our ground, sacrifice our comfort and fight back.
We fight back every time we write a letter to an elected official a letter to the editor or send a donation to an organization that fights for the issues close to our hearts.
We fight back each time we dare run for office against the incumbents.
In addition, we fight back with each prayer we utter invoking Divine Providence.

In 1775 Boston Patriot Joseph Warren said:
"Our country is in danger, but not to be despaired of. Our enemies are numerous and powerful; but we have many friends, determining to be free, and heaven and earth will aid the resolution. On you, depend the fortunes of America. You are to decide the important question, on which rest the happiness and liberty of millions yet unborn.
Act worthy of yourselves."

Donald C. Klussendorf
July 16, 1923 - Aug. 22, 2008
Donald C. Klussendorf of Sturgeon Bay, formerly of North Prairie, died Friday, Aug. 22, 2008, at Door County Memorial Hospital in Sturgeon Bay. He was 85 years old.
Don was born July 16, 1923, in Waukesha, the son of the late Fred and Della (nee Eble) Klussendorf. He was a farmer from birth. He graduated from Waukesha High School in 1941 and attended the University of Wisconsin in Madison to study agriculture. On Dec. 21, 1946, he married Louise G. Wapp at the Evangelical Reformed Church in Waukesha.
The Klussendorfs first worked a farm across the road from Crites Field in Waukesha. Interested in expanding their farming operations while continuing in partnership with Don's father Fred, they moved west after a few years and bought a larger farm in Pewaukee near the site of the present Country Inn north of Interstate 94, west of Waukesha. But the coming of the freeway in the late 1950s, which heralded the beginning of the end of dairy farming in that area of the county, and Fred's early passing changed their plans. After several years on the Pewaukee farm, Don, Louise and their growing family moved again, this time to a larger family farm on Highway 59, just west of the little village of North Prairie, in the western part of the county.
At the time they established the Broadlands Farm west of North Prairie in 1960, the Klussendorfs were milking 60 registered Holsteins and farming 224 acres. Following a disastrous barn fire in 1972 that destroyed the barn and his young stock, Don rebuilt his operation, and in partnership with his oldest son Rob, expanded the Broadlands Farm. In addition to increasing the herd size to 185 registered Holsteins, new barns were built, a specialized milking parlor and confinement area for young stock and cows was constructed, and the size of the farm was increased to 525 acres. Broadlands Farm was well-known throughout the county for its modern dairy practices, showcased on several occasions for the public when the Klussendorfs were chosen to host the annual Waukesha County Dairy Breakfast. In 1975, Broadlands Farm was featured on the NBC "Today" show, and, in the early 1980s, one of the county's first earth homes was constructed on the farm for the Klussendorf residence.
After more than 70 years on Waukesha County dairy farms, Don and Louise retired in the early 1990s and moved to Sturgeon Bay, where Don helped Louise start and run the Hearthside Bed and Breakfast and Country Dance Barn.
Don was actively involved in the Christian community throughout his life. He was a stalwart member of the Evangelical Reformed Church in Waukesha, in which he was married to Louise and saw his five children baptized, before joining St John's Lutheran Church in North Prairie while farming there. After moving to Sturgeon Bay in the early 1990s, Don and Louise joined the Prince of Peace Lutheran Church and contributed significantly through their support and enthusiasm to that church's expansion and new building program.
Don was extensively involved in public service, voluntary and farming advocacy organizations throughout his life. He served on the North Prairie School Board and Town of Genesee Planning Commission, in addition to other public service duties and responsibilities. In addition to his service as vice president of the Waukesha County Fair Board, he worked as Swine and Dairy superintendent, and was proud of the honor accorded him by his selection as honorary fair marshall in 2005. Don was a Wisconsin Master Farmer, and was active in Waukesha County 4-H programs for more than 50 years. He was a longtime member of the Waukesha County Farm Bureau and served as its president from 1981 to 1984. Don also belonged to numerous national, state and local dairy and pork organizations, including the Wisconsin Pork Producers and the Milwaukee Milk Producers.
Don's family remembers with great fondness the example he set throughout his life through his love of God and Christ, his extended family, his friends and associates, and his enthusiasm for and broad knowledge of Wisconsin and Waukesha County farming. He will be sadly missed by all who knew him.
Preceding him in death were his parents and one brother, Delbert Klussendorf.
Survivors include his wife 61 years, Louise; sons, Rob (Chris) of North Prairie and Mike (Katie) of Wausau; daughters, Cheryl (Pete) Almberg of Oshkosh, Helen (Pete) Leenhouts of Port Ludlow Wash., and Jill (Gary) Bacon of Waukesha; grandchildren, Erica (Roy) Spatz of Elkhart Lake, Ryan (Cheri) Klussendorf of Medford, Beth Klussendorf of Fairfax, Va., Bekah Klussendorf of Milwaukee, Heather Klussendorf, Jordan Klussendorf, Nicole Almberg of Milwaukee, Katherine Leenhouts and James Leenhouts and Justin, Derek, Kyle and Julie Bacon; great-grandsons, Kale, Owen and Max Klussendorf; sisters, Dorothy Becker and Lorraine Berthold; sisters-in-law, Melicent Hilsman, Susan Boulch, Diane (Elmer) Kowalski and Ruth Klussendorf; and brothers-in-law, Louis Wapp, Andrew Wapp and Douglas Wapp.
After a private family interment at Highland Memorial Cemetery in New Berlin, memorial services will be held Friday, Sept. 5, at Fox River Christian Church at Highway 164 and Highway I, south of Waukesha. The family will host a fellowship in honor of Don's life at the church between 4:30 p.m. and 6 p.m. to be followed by a memorial service and light refreshments.
Memorials may be made in his memory to Prince of Peace Lutheran Church in Sturgeon Bay, the Farm Bureau Foundation and the Waukesha County 4-H program.
Huehns Funeral Home of Sturgeon Bay Bay is serving the family, (920) 743-5635. An online guest book is maintained at www.huehnsfuneralhome.com.

slice and bakeFriday, February 01, 2008
This cookie has been one of my favorite for a very long time. My girlfriends mother in high school made them, and I sort of forgot about them. They are really delicious, and I am so loving the slice and bakes. I love the idea of having the dough in the freezer, ready to eat, I mean bake at anytime. (Did I ever mention how much I love cookie dough?)
This was last weeks and this weeks cookie, because it makes so much dough. Four logs.

ooo, I want to try those too!ReplyDelete
So, if you freeze these then when you are ready to make them they have to thaw completely, right? (sorry, probably a dumb question!)
totally printing this out. have you ever used nuts? if yes, what kind?? and do you slice and freeze, or do you freeze without slicing?ReplyDelete
Mmm, Yummo, love the cornflakes in them, sounds delish! And beautifully photographed as usual!ReplyDelete
hey guys,ReplyDelete
jill, i do not thaw before i bake. if the dough is too hard to cut, i let it sit for a about 5 minutes.
and melana, i have not tried nuts in mine, i think the mother that made them used walnuts.
also, freeze without slicing.
Those look really yummy. I think we're making cookies today too.ReplyDelete
How funny, when I glanced at your blog post I thought it said "a friend to bake with"! I'm making those tomorrow, I have all the ingredients--sort of like knitting from stash, right?ReplyDelete
That's a lot of butter, but they sound so yummy. I love slice and bake cookies. My mother used to make some that were like shortbread but I don't have her recipe.ReplyDelete
Looks delicious! I wonder what they'd taste like with chocolate chips added:) I'm on a chocolate kick!ReplyDelete
I haven't told you yet but you have inspired us to bake cookies every week here! We've been doing it since Christmas. I am gluten intolerant so I have been playing with various recipes. My husband is begging me to stop because he's afraid he's gaining weight!ReplyDelete
Yum! I think we'll make some this weekend... I love the slice and bakes, too. Thank you for sharing!ReplyDelete
We are so lucky you're active in the blogging world. Where would our cookie jars be without you? They'd be empty and lonely, that's where. Thanks for posting this recipe! I'm sure it'll be a hit at my household, too! I have my fiance, BIL, and the band (yes, I have a rock band that practices at my house a few times a week) that love cookies!ReplyDelete
Oh, my YUM! Those sound terrific! I remember my college days of eating cookie dough...at home when we were younger we got so sick of birthday cake (6 siblings, plus cousin, aunts, uncles... lol) we used to eat cake batter at our own birthdays!ReplyDelete
So do you think I could make these with soy-butter?
i love cookie dough, too. it's dangerous to have in the house.ReplyDelete
Do you think these would mail well? I need to send a friend some cookies and since these make a lot, I thought it would be perfect because even after we eat tons we would have enough left over to send. They look delicious!ReplyDelete
Stop it, you're killing me !!!ReplyDelete
Oh what a great thing to have in the freezer for unexpected company... nice warm cookies and tea!! MMMM!!ReplyDelete
thanks for sharing the recipe. it sounds wonderful...I can't wait to try it.ReplyDelete
I wouldn't be able to resist eating the cookie dough:) Corn flakes sound interesting and healthy. YumReplyDelete
By the way your sweater is looking amazing so far!
- Anonymous4/18/2008
Hi -ReplyDelete
Just wanted to say I've made these cookies SO many times and they're fabulous. Also thought I'd add that the other day, I was at relatives' house and making them, but they didn't have corn flakes. We substitued 1 cup of crushed walnuts for the 2 cups cornflakes and they came out reeeally tasty - so that's good if anybody's looking to change it up a bit.
One other thing - I learned the hard way that with these cookies, it's well worth one's time to grease the pan...;)

On Saturday at midnight, the nationally syndicated "Off Beat Cinema" celebrates its 20th anniversary on the air. The hosted movie show will present a newly restored print of "Night Of The Living Dead" on flagship station WBBZ-TV.
"Off Beat Cinema" began as a local program Halloween weekend 1993 with the broadcast of George Romero's "Night Of The Living Dead" on Buffalo's WKBW-TV. After a few years of gaining a local cult following, the program went national in January 1997, and moved to independent station WBBZ-TV in August of 2012. Currently, "Off Beat Cinema" is broadcast Saturday at midnight on WBBZ-TV; WGBT-TV in Rochester; WJKP-TV in Corning; and both Saturday and Sunday night on the Retro Television Network of stations, which currently stands at 88.
Paragon Advertising principal James Gillan created the show with television executive John Di Sciullo. "Off Beat Cinema" was "a reaction to the insidious spread of infomercials and the yawning void of late night television."
Gillan, the creator, writer and director, said, " 'Off Beat Cinema' was designed to provide viewers with an alternative to the influx of vacuous late night programs. Additionally, "Off Beat Cinema" was intended to provide a forum for films that are not regularly shown on television, and in many cases that are not even available on video. There's an enormous cache of films that an entire generation grew up watching that are otherwise unavailable. We wanted to capture that nostalgia as well as introduce these films to today's viewers."
Set in the fictitious Hungry Ear Coffee House, "Off Beat Cinema" is hosted by the hepcat beatniks - "Maxwell Truth" (comedian/actor "Airborne" Eddy Dobosiewicz); "Bird The Painter" (artist/event planner Tony Billoni); and "The Mysterious Zelda" (actress Constance McEwen) - plus an eclectic mix of weekly guests. Over the years, "Off Beat Cinema" has hosted celebrities including Doc Severinsen, Lauren Bacall, Taylor Negron, William Shatner, Butch Patrick (Eddy Munster); Buffalo's Robby Takac and the Goo Goo Dolls, Toronto's Barenaked Ladies, Jamestown's 10,000 Maniacs, and Ani DiFranco, to name a few.
The background music for the show is performed by local musicians David Kane's Them Jazzbeards.
"Off Beat Cinema" has brought its viewers the best of "the good, the bad, and the foreign." Showcasing campy sci-fi classics such as "Earth Vs. The Flying Saucers," "Teenagers from Outer Space" and "Fantastic Planet"; classic "art films" such as "The Seventh Seal"; plus silent film greats such as "Nosferatu," "Metropolis" and "Charlie Chaplin's The Gold Rush."
Gillan said of the show's successful formula, "We wanted to create a show reminiscent of the late night film shows of the '70s - the campy sci-fi, the low-budget man-in-a-bad-rubber-suit horror films, the monster of the week films - all those films that made us, as kids, beg our parents to allow us to stay up way past our bedtimes to watch."
The show's popularity can be measured by the fan mail that pours in week after week. Di Sciullo, the show's producer, said, "The show clearly strikes a chord with the viewers. How many shows have you watched that inspired you enough to write a letter? Yet that's exactly what our viewers do. We receive hundreds of pieces of mail from all across the continent. Comments about films we have aired, requests for other films, original poetry, and caffeine-induced philosophic rambling - we get it all - and we love it."
Moving forward for the 20th anniversary season, "Off Beat Cinema" is planning a film festival at an area theater; more remote telecasts shot in HD; and full studio audience participation shows from the WBBZ-TV studio, including "Sci-Fi" nights.
Viewers can connect with "Off Beat Cinema" online at www.offbeatcinema.com and "Like" "Off Beat Cinema" on Facebook. You can follow the show on Twitter @OffBCinema. "Off Beat Cinema" also has a channel on You Tube and will be posting "Retro" moments from the past two decades of shows.
WBBZ is seen throughout Western New York. For more information, visit www.wbbz.tv.

Los Alamos National Laboratory
Cheryl Kuske—Microbiology expertise aids in biothreat detection
Microbiology expertise aids in biothreat detection
The soil beneath our feet may seem inanimate, but it houses trillions of microscopic organisms that break down matter such as fallen trees and dead leaves, protect (and even prey on) crops and filter groundwater. One gram of soil may contain at least a billion microorganisms; critically important to the ecological system, less than one percent of these organisms have been studied.
That is, until pioneering environmental microbiologist Cheryl Kuske built a world-renowned Los Alamos research program targeting complex microbial communities in the environment that has led to major developments.
Kuske is a top expert with the abundant yet difficult-to-culture and genetically diverse Acidobacteria, which she and colleagues discovered in environmental surveys using molecular techniques.
Cited more than 7000 times in articles, Kuske won the Laboratory's Fellows Prize and Distinguished Patent awards. Named a Lab Fellow last year, Kuske was named by her colleagues as a Woman Who Inspires.
Creating her career from the ground up
Lacking guidance from family and those around her to pursue education and a career, Kuske was self-motivated and created her own path.
The biochemist became fascinated with fungi as an undergraduate. Intrigued by their diversity, she learned fungi produce most of our known natural antibiotics and many industrial enzymes. Some fungi are agricultural pathogens that have changed the course of global history numerous times.
In graduate school, she studied agricultural disease epidemics and the underlying biochemistry that controls how fungi and bacteria interact with their plant hosts.
Joining Los Alamos as a postdoc, Kuske dedicates her days to understanding the biochemical and genetic interactions of soil microbes in terrestrial ecosystems, increasing knowledge about carbon cycling, climate change and biothreat detection. She is also mining these organisms for novel biochemicals.
Metagenomics research yields exciting biodefense developments
Kuske launched a new focus on soil metagenomics, the gathering and processing of complex information about diverse communities, making great strides toward understanding the complex fungi and bacteria that interact with plants to make natural and agricultural systems stable and productive.
Her microbial data could revolutionize health, biofuels and greenhouse gas absorption.
Kuske's work has already led to developments in biodefense and national security, including biothreat detection technologies that can be used in the field.
The dirt on launching a successful career
Promoting the merits of collaboration and communication strengths, which she says are vital to success in science, Kuske advises women beginning their career to be brave.
"Sometimes you just have to 'jump into the deep end of the pool'. You are definitely going to 'lose' many times, but if you are tenacious and flexible you can make good things happen," Kuske says.
She also advises scientists to respect diversity—in backgrounds and even in research perspectives—adding that these 'edges' between different scientific disciplines are where new ideas become realities.

Maybe give yourself a break once a week or so to meet up, but she should really understand if you can't do more than that. If you give in and fail your exams, then you'll only end up resenting the friendship, leaving it in an even worse shape.
If you can, try and plan some amazing stuff for when you're all done.

highlandcow wrote:emotionalwreck_ wrote:Thank you! That was really good advice
That's a shame! I don't really understand the mentality behind it, I'd never give up on a good friend because of something like that. Case in point, my best friend had a baby a year ago, and can't get out as much as she used to. Sure I miss the old times we had, and I understand why it can never be the same, but I'd never have given up on a great friendship. True friends should be able to pick up where they left off if there has been a situation where one of them can't be as committed for a while.
I think you should call her, just to keep the lines of communication open, and to let her know that just because you have exams, it doesn't mean you can't be friends. Hopefully she'll come round. And if she doesn't...then maybe she's not really as good a friend as she could be!

While Pocono Mountain School District officials have yet to determine how much could be saved by closing Barrett Elementary and Pocono Elementary centers, they do know this: They would be spared almost $8 million in repairs.
While Pocono Mountain School District officials have yet to determine how much could be saved by closing Barrett Elementary and Pocono Elementary centers, they do know this: They would be spared almost $8 million in repairs.
The district's current, five-year projections of capital improvement projects include a renovation of Barrett Elementary Center's heating, ventilation and air conditioning unit for $6.5 million, and a roof renovation at Pocono Elementary Center for $1.3 million.
The two repairs represent more than two-thirds of the $11.85 million capital improvements wish list that contains 24 projects.
Officials said the project costs could be higher since the estimates used in the district's list are old, Superintendent Elizabeth Robison said.
When the Barrett HVAC system was discussed in 2011, the cost estimate also was $6.5 million, according to records.
The district is pushing for one major project for 2013-14, finishing the roof renovation at the East High School at a cost of $1.5 million. The project has been on the shelf since at least 2010, when the third phase was proposed at $800,000.
Stephen Ferraioli, the district's executive director of Support Staff Services, last week showed the school board almost 50 pictures of the roof and leaks and the damage they are causing.
He said there is no danger in the structural integrity of the roof, just the leaks it causes around the auditorium area.
The district has, at times, examined a list of projects administration officials believe need to be done. The list started circulating in 2010, with the school board each year trying to include it in the financial plans.
In 2011, the board considered borrowing to pay for around $25 million worth of capital improvements. That never happened in the midst of a heavy budget crisis.
Administration officials have been warning the board about the problems with the HVAC system at Barrett for years. When the district proposed closing Barrett in 2011, one of reasons offered was the expense to fix the system.
The schools closure plan also calls for re-opening the Swiftwater Intermediate School, for a net loss of one school.

Enforcement, enforcement, enforcement was the plea heard 'round the courtroom at Tuesday's BCC meeting.
"We just can't seem to get enforcement in this county," said Santa Rosa Ridge resident Mary Nielson in regards to the to-be-approved Waterways and Beach Activities Ordinance.
After three public workshops, revisions, inclusions and deletions in the existing beach activities ordinance, Interim County Administrator Gerry Demers brought what he thought might be the final draft before commissioners for their approval Tuesday. After again hearing from the public, however, the ordinance will ultimately be pushed back to allow for further revisions.
The ordinance, Demers earlier told The Sun, was a measure to compile existing beach activity laws, while clarifying them and making them more enforceable.
Those gathered at the Tuesday meeting asked, "How?"
"How it works in practicality, in the real world, is not necessarily something we'll know," said Clay Adkinson, who was sitting in for County Attorney Toni Craig, who was ill.
The enforcement buzz word mainly landed on a new measure which would allow visitors to purchase permits to bring a dog to the beach.
The response from most residents was not positive.
Beach-front resident Sharon O'Keegan said, "It's a grave concern for those who live on the beach."
The grandmother of six says when her grandkids visit her, "I don't want them to put their face in the sand and come up with poop on it."
Her concern with animal waste was mirrored in the other comments.
Two-year resident Marion Victor said he was watching as a jogger and a dog passed his window the other day. The dog relieved itself on the beach, and its owner covered it with sand and kept jogging.
The problem is that "they stop, leave what they want," said Victor.
He fears the addition of more pets on the beach will cause the area to lose its appeal to outsiders.
"This area is known for a couple of reasons, white beaches, clean water, no crime. I'd like to see this preserved," he said. Imagine if your child picks up a "handful of something that's more than sand ...�
Most felt the problem with the ordinance was that it was a set of rules with a lack of a step-by-step enforcement plan.
"Let's go back to the drawing board, and let's look at enforcement as far as dogs go," said Nielson.
Demers and the commissioners listened to the commentary, and now the ball lies in the commissioners' court.
"The board will have to remove or approve," said Demers.
The measure is slated to again come before the five county representatives after revisions Jan. 22 at 8 a.m. at the BCC meeting in DeFuniak Springs.
Bob Hudson, executive director of the Walton County Taxpayers Association, best summed up the dissent in the crowd with a word to the wise: "Don't pass ordinances that the county is not willing to put the money up to enforce."

Scientology and Tradition
We have made progress in how to accomplish goals which Man has had as long as he has been Man. And what he has considered good and what he has considered desirable in the field of philosophy, we have accomplished technically and that is the breakthrough which we have made. —L. Ron Hubbard
In the late 1800s, a subject alien to the tradition of centuries invaded the philosophies and mental sciences. Upending long-established customs and mores that taught the pursuit and articulation of truth, this intruder held that knowledge about Man should be used not to enhance his strengths, but to exploit his weaknesses. And as decades passed, manipulative control mechanisms came to usurp traditional teachings.
In a lecture monumental in scope, L. Ron Hubbard establishes that whereas an invalidation of its customs will cause the downfall of a civilization, the traditional philosophic attitude has been inherited by Scientology. For Scientology continues the traditions that created the great civilizations of this planet and universe, building upon them and fulfilling their finest and oldest aspirations. And since those very aspirations dwell in the breasts of all human beings, a well-directed communication of the discoveries, purposes and uses of Scientology will gain immediate agreement and support.
To that end, Mr. Hubbard delivers a comprehensive, 360-degree account of how Scientology basics correlate to the customs, mores, policies, laws and traditions that make up the fabric of a culture. Here is a technology on how to communicate Scientology that is not only essential to dissemination, but may well determine the woof and warp of future civilizations.

Blue Jackets-Red Wings PreviewNHL.com @NHL
Sergei Fedorov had been awful against his former team since joining the Columbus Blue Jackets. Now that the direction of his new club seems to have changed, maybe his fate against the Detroit Red Wings has, too.
Fedorov tries to lead the Blue Jackets to a home-and-home sweep of the Red Wings and give the franchise back-to-back wins over their Central Division rivals for the first time.
Columbus (12-17-3) had won only one of seven matchups against Detroit (19-9-4) since acquiring Fedorov from Anaheim last November. The veteran center failed to score in any of those games - he didn't have a point in the past six - while posting a minus-6 rating.
Fedorov ended that drought in impressive fashion Monday with two goals and an assist to lead the Blue Jackets to a 4-3 victory.
"I think it's special for him, but I think he's been unbelievable every game," said Blue Jackets winger Rick Nash, who had a goal and an assist for the second straight game.
A nine-time 30-goal scorer during his 13 seasons with the Red Wings, Fedorov has seven goals and eight assists with a plus-8 rating in 15 games since Ken Hitchcock took over as Blue Jackets coach. The team has gone 7-4-1 in that span.
Before Hitchcock's arrival, Columbus was 5-13-2 and Fedorov was a minus-5 with only seven points.
Fedorov has been particularly hot recently, with five goals and five assists over his past six outings. The Blue Jackets are 5-1-0 this season when he has two points or more.
Even with Monday's victory, Columbus has won only six times in 31 all-time games in this series, and the club has never won consecutive meetings with the Red Wings.
That could change Wednesday as Fedorov makes his latest return to Detroit, where Columbus lost 4-1 on Nov. 4 in its only visit this season.
The Blue Jackets would be helped by another fast start. They led 3-0 after the first period on Monday.
"It was huge to get that first goal and grab the momentum of the game," Nash said. "It was definitely a big factor."
David Vyborny tied a season high with three assists Monday and he tops the Blue Jackets with 30 points, including 12 during his current six-game point streak.
Red Wings center Robert Lang has a four-game point streak, having scored twice on Monday.
His first goal of the game also was Detroit's first, but it didn't come until 6:03 remained in the second period. The Red Wings outshot the Blue Jackets 29-14 over the final two periods as their comeback attempt fell short.
"It's a 60-minute game, and you have to be prepared to start," Detroit coach Mike Babcock said. "When we needed the opportunity to get back in the game, at that point we needed just one more play, just one more save, and we didn't get it."
It was the second loss in seven games for the Red Wings, who are 12-2-1 all-time at home against the Blue Jackets. Two of those losses, however, have come in the past six meetings at Joe Louis Arena.
Monday's game saw Detroit goalie Dominik Hasek get pulled for the first time all season. He was replaced at the start of the second period by Chris Osgood, who made his first appearance since fracturing his wrist in a win over Chicago on Nov. 2.

Poul Nielsen necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 294 diseños de 75 diseñadores freelance.
Fitness Express
I'm Poul Nielsen - owner and operator of a premium personal training company called Nielsen Fitness in Toronto. In early 2010, I'll be launching the newest facet of my business - Fitness Express - which needs a new, exciting, and dynamic visual identity.
Fitness Express will provide on-site personal training (in-home, condo, office, at the park, or anywhere practical) to clients in urban Toronto with plans for expansion. All of our trainers are fully certified are dedicated to helping people reach their fitness goals. The visual identity of the brand will be used on a website and promotional materials - including vehicles.
Our competitive angle is our simplicity and affordability. Fitness Express will cater to the general public – basically anyone who wants to get fit and stay fit, and will be priced lower than 'premium' personal training services which are covered off by Nielsen Fitness.
We believe a good workout is about effective design and not expensive equipment. We have created a 'fit kit' - all the necessary tools for an effective workout at home - which is the basis for many programs. A client with nothing more than a mat will also have a good workout with us.
And finally, we like to have a little bit of fun while we're at it - our goal is to have our clients look forward to their workouts.... instead of dread them!
Thanks in advance.
We are not targeting a particular age or demographic - we would like to appeal to anyone and everyone interested in a healthier and fitter lifestyle (regardless of starting point).
Here are some guidelines to help narrow it down:
-Those who want the convenience of having a Personal Trainer come to them.
-Those with busy schedules who don't have time for the gym
-Those who want to see results quickly
-Women i.e. stay at home moms
-Anyone not wanting the crowd, membership or inconvenience of a gym
-Those who want to hire a trainer who is regulated and continuously tested to meet company standards
-Those who want to hire a company they can trust
-Those who want a trainer from a fun, trendy and lively company
-Those who don't need a complicated or specialized program for specific injuries, illness, sports or disease (people who do would be directed to Nielsen Fitness).
We are looking for a simple, clean, sophisticated and fun logo featuring the "Fitness Express" name.
The logo should/could evoke the notion of "us coming to you" (the trainer coming to the client)/travelling/movement/change. We are open open to the notion of pictures/original symbols/artwork.
We'd like to see the use of the following colours (obviously not all need/should be incorporated):
navy blue
Nielsen Fitness has a colour scheme and logo - that should not be factored in at all... the goal is for this to be completely new and different.
And lastly... a Vector based design.
Do not use pink, shadows, no use of barbells or other cliche fitness icons.
I've added a couple of fitness based logos that I like.
I'm open to the use of circles.

The holy mysteries or sacraments in the Orthodox Church are vessels of the mystical participation in divine grace of mankind. In a general sense, the Orthodox Church considers everything which is in and of the Church as sacramental or mystical. Generally, the Church recognizes and counts seven (though not only seven) mysteries:
The term sacrament is derived from the Latin sacramentum, meaning "a consecrated thing or act," i.e., "something holy," "to consecrate;" which itself was a Church Latin translation of the Greek mysterion, meaning "mystery."

Handheld Group, a Swedish manufacturer of rugged devices such as notebook computers, has announced the launch of what it claims is the "toughest smart phone ever built." The Nautiz X1 follows in the tradition of Handheld's line of fully ruggedized mobile computers with and IP67 ingress protection rating against dust, sand and full immersion in water, as well as full MIL-STD-810G compliance for humidity, vibration, drops and extreme temperatures.
The one thing that should set the Nautiz X1 apart from other rugged smart phones is how small and light it is. Where other rugged phones tend to be thicker and heavier, the X1 weighs only 6.3 ounces and measures 4.9 inches high by 2.6 inches wide and is only 0.6 inches thick. It has a 4-inch capacitive touchscreen display, which is apparently just as sturdy as the rest of it.
As the demand for rugged smartphones continues to increase, the Nautiz X1 could find use in anything from public transit to forestry to military applications. It is scheduled to be made available in January of 2013 at a list price of $899.

155 people have taken this course
Is your energy being drained by work obligations, relationship commitments, family demands, health challenges... and just plain living in our crazy-busy world??
Maybe you've tried detoxing, balancing your chakras, writing affirmations, feng-shuing your home and releasing inner blocks with various healing tools -- yet you're still physically exhausted &/or emotionally depleted...
You could use a Life Energy Tune-Up!
Wouldn't it be great if you could recharge your Life Energy as easily as a mechanic tunes up your car's engine? Now you can!
Life&Soul Balance Coach Barbara Schiffman created this energy-boosting ecourse to help you tune up your Body, Mind, Heart and Soul one Life-Element at a time.
This course is not about goal-setting -- instead, you'll easily raise your positive vibrations to generate the mental, emotional and physical energy so you can organically accomplish your goals and fulfill your desires with less effort and stress!
Drawing insights and exercises from Barbara's Life& Soul Balance programs and books, this ecourse presents fresh ways to easily, quickly and joyfully plug into the universal frequencies of Nature's Four Elements -- the essential building-blocks of Life -- as your personal tune-up kit!
For example: you'll discover why doing something physical (Earth Energy) -- like walking outside in the sunshine, eating a food that grounds you (and tastes good) or clearing a cluttered closet -- can "magically" shift and re-balance your mental (Air) energy and your emotional (Water) energy whenever your thoughts become worried or negative.
You'll learn:
How does this Tune-Up work?
Each lesson includes guided meditations vibrationally-attuned to one of the Four Elements... plus other inspirational resources.
As weekly Life-Work, you'll take Energy-Actions so you can discover the ones that work best for you from options including the particular colors, scents, foods and activities that resonate with each of the 4 Elements.
Barbara has taught these simple Life Energy Tune-Up tools to her coaching clients for nearly 15 years -- and now she shares them with you in this fun, easy and invigorating ecourse. Join her to increase positive energy in every part of your life!
What people are saying:
"I've been surprised at how refreshing and rejuvenating the course is ... I feel a sense of being 'in the flow of life'... and I bounce back quicker. It's a tremendous gift to have this feeling." -- L.N. (financial advisor)
"My life is more In-Balance. Each week the focus is on a different element of life. It's been fun and energizing. And it's amazing how much you can accomplish when you commit to taking one small action in each area." -- J.B. (actress & film producer)
"The course was extremely supportive in giving me the tools and methodologies to have a balanced life."-- D.B. (professional organizer)
About Barbara Schiffman:
Since 1995, Barbara has transitioned from being a highly-regarded Hollywood script consultant and career coach to empowering individuals as a Life&Soul Balance Coach. She's created unique life balance coaching programs for people who seek resilient and exhilarating lives.
Her books have been called "valuable Life Improvement manuals for people of wide-ranging interests and age groups" -- especially her e-book "Living in Balance for Boomers: Secrets to Making the Most of the Second Half of Life." She also contributes articles as a Life&Soul Balance Expert on web-portals including YourTango and CreateYourHealth.
Barbara's first DailyOM ecourse "Taking Your Leap of Faith" (co-authored with Camille Leon, her Exhilaration Effect Coaching co-creator) helps people learn and utilize "the art and science of taking leaps of faith" in careers, relationships, health and life. Barbara's mission and pleasure is to help people expand their lives and evolve their souls from "the inside out and the outside in."
Starting today, you will receive a new lesson every week for 7 weeks (total of 7 lessons). Each lesson is yours to keep and you'll be able to refer back to it whenever you want. And if you miss a lesson or are too busy to get to it that day, each lesson will conveniently remain in your account so you won't have to search for it when you're ready to get back to it.
As a free gift, when you sign up for this course, you will also receive the award-winning DailyOM inspiration newsletter which gives you daily inspirational thoughts for a happy, healthy and fulfilling day. We will also let you know about other courses and offers from DailyOM and Barbara Schiffman that we think you might be interested in.

Great Idea!! 07/17/2009
I received this lil plaque early in my pregnancy from a friend who wanted to "subtly" suggest a name for my unborn daughter. Not only did we choose the name (Mallory), we used the design (Polka Dots) to set the decor for her nursery.

The live entertainment program at LSC-Montgomery, offering its first, free professional development workshop in December, provided program graduate Randy Hall hands-on experience with lighting design and set-up in the state-of-the-art audio visual lab.
For those wanting to pursue or advance a career in live entertainment technology, or for those who teach in this specialized field, the state's only live entertainment technology (LET) program will host a free professional development workshop on Saturday, December 1, at Lone Star College-Montgomery.
In this workshop, attendees will learn strategies for successful lighting, audio and digital media design, and implementation. This is ideal for novice to intermediate level teachers/designers/technicians needing to advance their lighting, audio and media projection skills.
The workshop is free and open to the first 20 who enroll.
"Anyone with an interest in improving their skill set with live entertainment technology will benefit from this workshop," said Rob Kreps, program director and associate professor of theatre at LSC-Montgomery, who will lead the workshop. "This includes amateurs who want to move to the next level, as well as teachers and house of worship technicians that want to add new tools and techniques to their programs and presentations."
Included in the workshop will be four hours of laboratory instruction (9 a.m.-1 p.m.) with LET instructors/industry professionals, lunch, admission to the 2 p.m. matinee performance of LSC-Montgomery's The Very Merry Xmas Carol Holiday Adventure Show (in which many of the workshop principles will be utilized), and a talk-back with the production staff following the show. The workshop concludes with a tour of the backstage area and LET demonstrations.
LSC-Montgomery's LET program (formerly known as the audio visual systems specialist program), trains students to design, set-up, and operate lighting, video, and audio equipment. This includes microphones, sound speakers, projectors, recording equipment, sound and mixing boards, and more—everything needed for an elaborate production.
"It's more than just plugging in some lights and having a player for music," said Kreps. "Specialists trained in this field can work in just about any industry from theatre and concert halls to corporations and churches to hotels or sporting venues."
The live entertainment program at LSC-Montgomery is offering its first, free professional development workshop in December. Attendees will learn strategies for successful lighting, audio and digital media design, and implementation.
LSC-Montgomery is the only college in the state and one of only a few nationwide that offers the live entertainment technology program. Four levels of training are available—a marketable skills award, which can be completed in one semester; a Level I certificate, which can be completed in one year; a Level II certificate, which can be completed in a year-and-a-half; and an associate of applied science degree, which can be completed in two years. Courses for the certificates apply to the associate of applied science degree, and many courses will transfer to other colleges as a springboard for a degree in other fields including technical theatre, lighting design, and computer systems management.
For more information about the LET program, contact Kreps at email@example.com or (936) 271-6309; or visit www.LoneStar.edu/audio-visual-dept-montgomery.
LSC-Montgomery is located at 3200 College Park Drive, one-half mile west of Interstate 45, between Conroe and The Woodlands. For more information about the college, call 936.273.7000, or visit www.LoneStar.edu/montgomery.

O, miseros nautas, qui numquam domum revertentur! O, miseros liberos nautarum, qui post hanc tempestatem patres suos non videbunt!"
Clearly she's not addressing the nautae nor the liberi and so they could not be in vocative case.
But why accusative?
..and why especially when they are both the subject of the sentences (that end in passive verbs)?
Does the exclamation 'O!' take accusative the object which follows...? That would seem the most likely reason to me.

Washington: The United States should not talk to Iran about jointly helping the Iraqi government fend off insurgents who have been overrunning large swaths of that country, the Republican leader of the House of Representatives said today.
"Absolutely not," Speaker John Boehner told reporters. "I can just imagine what our friends in the region, our allies, would be thinking by reaching out to Iran at a time when they continue to pay for terrorism and foster terrorism" in the region.
The US has not had relations with Iran since the 1979 storming of the US embassy in Tehran and the holding of American hostages there for over a year.
Boehner made his remarks hours before he and other congressional leaders were scheduled to get a White House briefing from President Barack Obama on the situation in Iraq.
The government of Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki has been trying to stem a fast-moving offensive by the militant Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, which has been overrunning cities and is threatening the country`s largest oil refinery. Aides have said Obama is not expected to approve air strikes but is considering sending special forces and providing the Iraqis with intelligence assistance.
Boehner said he was hoping Obama would describe "a strategy that would guarantee some success for keeping Iraq free and propping up the democracy that we fought so hard to get there." He declined to say specifically what he would favor doing.

Rent 3 for around 6 bucks Monday-Friday. Check with them on how many nights per rental. If you can wait for about 3 weeks after the new releases come out you can usually pick up used new releases for $6.99-$9.99. The also offer 3 movies for sale, $9.99 and under, for $23.99.

text: The Trojan Women is a film of the ancient Greek tragedy by Euripides, which is a highly mannered, ritual-like stage play. It was not easy to transform it into a movie while remaining faithful to the play, but there are many rewards for the patient viewer. The score by Mikis Theodorakis (Zorba the Greek) fits the story beautifully, and the film's re-creation of the ancient Mediterranean is memorable. Finally, the original play, despite its great age, has what are still considered among the finest roles ever written for women. The story concerns the trials and tribulations of the women of Troy at the time of Greek conquest and the truth and chilling power of the curses they hurl at their captors, who have slain every male of their nation, including the infants. Particularly notable is the performance of Irene Papas as Helen, a woman of infinite guile, whose abduction by Paris led to the whole debacle in the first place.

SAN JOSE, Calif. – The San Jose Earthquakes announced today that the club has signed former Bayern Munich right back Andreas Gorlitz pending receipt of his P-1 Visa and international transfer certificate. Per league and team policy, terms of the deal were not disclosed.
"Andreas is an experienced veteran that has played at the highest level in Germany and with the German national team," said Earthquakes head coach Mark Watson. "He has trained with us over the past month and has shown that he will be a good addition to our squad. We are happy to have him in San Jose."
Gorlitz, 32, joins the Earthquakes after 12 years in the German professional ranks. He began his career with TSV 1860 Munchen in 2001 and made 37 Bundesliga appearances over his three seasons there. After being relegated at the end of the 2003-04 campaign, 1860 Munchen transferred Gorlitz to Bayern Munich. His first year with the German giants looked like a breakout for the attack-minded right back after starting five games, making two UEFA Champions League appearances and earning a pair of national team caps. However, a torn anterior-cruciate ligament in a Champions League match against Juventus sidelined him until 2006.
Gorlitz returned to action for Bayern Munich II, making 21 appearances before working his way back to first team action in 2006-07. His next move was a loan with Karlsruher SC from 2007-09, paving the way for a brief return to Bayern for the 2009-10 season, his last in Munich. Gorlitz spent the next three seasons with FC Ingolstadt 04. Gorlitz made 63 appearances for Die Schanzer and was a regular starter during his first two seasons before playing out his contract and making his way to the Earthquakes.
"Andreas is an excellent right back with a ton of experience. He's great at getting forward and we're excited to have him join the club," said Earthquakes general manager John Doyle.
Internationally, Gorlitz made two appearances for Germany's senior team. He debuted as a second half substitute in a friendly against Brazil on Sept. 8, 2004 and went a full 90 against Iran on Oct. 9, 2004. He also saw action in the youth ranks, earning a spot on Germany's 1999 FIFA U-17 World Cup squad and suiting up for the U-21s at the 2004 European Championship.
