GYPSY OF THE MONTH: Alysha Umphress of 'On a Clear Day You Can See Forever'
Alysha Umphress got it backwards. You're supposed to appear in Broadway musicals first, then become a gay icon. But Umphress had her gay following before she ever performed on Broadway. In 2005, still pretty new to New York City, she won "XL Star," an American Idol-style singing competition at the now-closed Chelsea bar XL. Among her prizes: a monthlong engagement at XL and the cover of gay men's magazine Next. She then began performing at other gay bars around town, including Splash, the Duplex, Vlada and Industry, as well as the Tides and the Ice Palace on Fire Island, and went on to be one of the original cohosts of the After Party, a weekly late-night show at the Laurie Beechman Theatre for the theater crowd.
Currently Umphress is playing psychiatry student and all-around mod gal Paula in the On a Clear Day You Can See Forever revival, starring Harry Connick Jr., at the St. James Theatre. A year ago she was performing at the same theater in American Idiot, the show in which she'd made her Broadway debut in the spring of 2010. For the past few months, while she's been seen on stage in New York, she has been heard in theaters around the country in the new Bring It On musical. Umphress sings "Legendary," a song that plays during the big cheerleading competition, in Bring It On—a film-to-stage musical scored by Tony winners Tom Kitt and Lin-Manuel Miranda that's in the midst of an eight-month national tour. She also does some voiceover work in the show.
Umphress was already a well-regarded nightclub singer in NYC prior to her Broadway debut in American Idiot. In addition to the gay bars, she's performed at such jazz clubs as Birdland and the Iridium and was nominated several years running for a MAC Award as Best Female Jazz Vocalist. She's also been a Nightlife Award nominee in the category of Best Piano Bar Entertainer.
She admits to being, in her words, "torn between two lovers" as far as jazz singing and musical theater are concerned. Jazz has been part of her repertoire since her voice teacher introduced her to Dinah Washington and Ella Fitzgerald when she was a teenager. She sang with her high school's jazz band—a gig that one year included opening for Diana Krall at the Fujitsu Jazz Festival in northern California (where Umphress is from)—and later, as a student at the Boston Conservatory, she audited jazz classes at Boston's Berklee School of Music. But compared to theater, "breaking onto the jazz scene is even more difficult," says Umphress, "because nobody buys records anymore, and nobody makes money from jazz. That's going to be my labor of love."
Which is not to say she's merely settling for musical theater. That's been part of her repertoire even longer—since she was a 6-year-old cast member of Annie at Crazyatrics, a Bay Area troupe (now named Belasco Theatre Company) in which children perform classic musicals. Umphress, who was born in Concord, Calif., and grew up in nearby Martinez, performed throughout her childhood at Crazyatrics and other local theaters, such as Pittsburg Community, Piedmont Light Opera, Center REP and Willows Theatre. She did such shows as Once Upon a Mattress, Into the Woods, Hello, Dolly!, Show Boat and The Wizard of Oz. And Annie—three times in all. After two go-rounds as an orphan, she played Annie the third time (in that first Crazyatrics production, one of Umphress' castmates was Sara Darneille, now a dresser for On a Clear Day).
Umphress had her first professional job while just a freshman in high school: the principal role of Sue in Fab!, a musical about 1960s teenagers (known as A Slice of Saturday Night in the U.K., where it originated) that was presented at San Francisco's Alcazar Theatre—next door to The Phantom of the Opera at the Curran. Her performance as Sue, a plus-size girl who longs to look like Twiggy, earned Umphress a Bay Area Theatre Critics Circle award.
As an adult, Umphress' first big theater job was costarring in Funked Up Fairy Tales at Barrington Stage Company in the Berkshires in the summer of 2007. That Kristen Childs show was produced by Barrington Stage's Musical Theatre Lab, which is run by composer William Finn, who's been quite an advocate for Umphress. He cast her in a few concerts in the "Songs by Ridiculously Talented Composers and Lyricists You Probably Don't Know But Should..." series that he curates for Barrington Stage, as well as a concert of music by Nikos Tsakalakos produced by the Musical Theatre Lab.
In late 2007 Umphress understudied the two women in Make Me a Song, a four-person Finn revue that played off-Broadway and was nominated for Drama Desk and Outer Critics Circle awards. She got that part without performing any Finn numbers in what was a hastily scheduled audition; rather, she gave them a Lou Rawls song after she'd been called while she was home cleaning out her closet to come immediately for an audition. Finn, says Umphress, is "a champion for people that he likes and believes in."
She's discovered that having such champions is invaluable to theater performers in New York. "The thing I've learned the most about this business," Umphress says, "is it takes talent and it takes hard work and perserverance, but once you get to a certain point I think it's who you know." She worked on Bring It On thanks to composer Tom Kitt, who'd been the musical supervisor on American Idiot. "If I didn't work with him in American Idiot, I still would have been right for the Bring It On job, but they wouldn't have known me and he would have recommended somebody else he knows," she says, adding, "I've been on the other side, too: I was up for shows when I was 'nobody.'" She recalls, for example, auditioning for the role of Enid in Legally Blonde while she was still making her living as a singing waiter at Ellen's Stardust Diner; Natalie Joy Johnson, who got the part, had been around a few years longer. "If you're at an audition and it's between you and two other girls and you know everyone behind the table and they could go with any of you three, they're going to give it to you because they know you and like you," Umphress says. "I don't think that's a shitty thing to say, I think it's really realistic."
Someone she knew from Barrington Stage, music director Carmel Dean, tipped Umphress off about a musical in the works by Green Day—a rock group Umphress had been a fan of since their 1994 breakthrough album Dookie. "It was huge everywhere, but especially in northern California because they're local boys," she says. "They're from two towns away from me." Following Dean's tip, Umphress had her agents look out for any casting notices for the "untitled punk project," as American Idiot was known in development. "I worked my ass off to get American Idiot," Umphress states. At the first audition, where they were mostly screening for types, she sang "What About Love?" ("Every girl sings a Heart song for rock auditions"). For a callback, she had to create her own interpretation of a Beat-era poem. Umphress chose "America" by Allen Ginsberg, and says what she did with it "was the scariest thing I have ever done in an audition room either since or before." Her performance encompassed opening windows and doors of the audition room and screaming out of them, pushing the accompanist away so she could play the piano herself, and singing the poem's words. She knew "either this is going to be a huge success or a major disaster."
It was, of course, the former, and Umphress had a role in all the American Idiot workshops and then its fall 2009 premiere at Berkeley Rep, not far from her (and Green Day's) hometown. She was home watching the 1989 movie Parenthood that Christmas Eve when American Idiot producer Tom Hulce—coincidentally, a costar of Parenthood—called to tell her the show would be opening on Broadway in the spring. In 2010 she performed with Green Day and the American Idiot cast at the Grammys, Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, the New York Jets' home opener and on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon.
Physically, the show was a "car wreck" for its cast, says Umphress. Performers usually warm up on their own, but every rehearsal for American Idiot began with a mandatory one-hour physical warmup—be it circuit training, yoga, calisthenics, etc. There was much hard-charging movement and scaling of the multitiered set during performance as well. Umphress says she lost 40 pounds while working on American Idiot, and has not regained it.
American Idiot ran a year on Broadway, with Umphress in it the whole time. Her follow-up, On a Clear Day, will be shorter-lived, as the revival is set to close Jan. 29, seven weeks after opening. Director Michael Mayer's attempt to rectify what has always been considered a problematic show—despite an admired score by Alan Jay Lerner and Burton Lane—was not well-received, and the New York Post's vicious Michael Riedel frequently harangued it in his column. "Have your opinions—I get it—but he lies," says Umphress. "He's said, like, 'Harry looks so miserable, hopefully the show will close just to put him out of his misery.' Harry couldn't be more positive and couldn't be happier to have this job, and more invested and more committed, and he is lovely to be around and infectious. That's what makes me angry, when I read stuff like that. It's like, You don't even know what you're talking about!"
On a Clear Day's failure should not, according to Umphress, tarnish the reputation of Mayer, a Tony winner for Spring Awakening who also directed American Idiot. "The thing about Michael Mayer is, at least he is always pushing boundaries," she says. "He's not just making another revival and putting a star in it and calling it a day. He's taking something that didn't work but has a beautiful score and trying to make it work so that it has another life. Nothing's ever been done with a revival like this before. American Idiot—nothing had been done like that before. Spring Awakening—nothing had been done like that before. I admire him so much for always doing something different and trying to say something new, which is what we should be doing in musical theater."
Originally produced on Broadway in 1965, On a Clear Day is a rare "old" musical for Umphress. Apart from her childhood roles and a college portrayal of the Old Lady in Candide, she's only done contemporary shows. Mayer worked on reconceiving On a Clear Day for over a decade; Umphress was involved the last few years, participating in readings of it at Roundabout and the Vineyard Theatre, among other places. In those readings, she had the lead role of Melinda. When New York Stage and Film gave the show a concert staging at Vassar College's Powerhouse Theater for one weekend during the summer of 2010—while Umphress was in American Idiot—Melinda was played by Anika Noni Rose. Umphress was called at the last minute to fill in for Rose when she unexpectedly had to miss a performance. There was no problem getting Umphress out of American Idiot, as the shows had the same producing team, and they sent a car service to whisk her upstate—where she played opposite Brian d'Arcy James (in the role Connick has on Broadway). Umphress has been understudying Jessie Mueller as Melinda in the Broadway production.
Meanwhile, working with Connick has allowed Umphress to bridge the theater and jazz worlds in a way. "I really appreciate how, like a true jazz singer, he sings whatever he feels; it's always different," she says. "I love jazz so much because you get to express yourself that way: You can sing whatever you're feeling in that moment, and you never sing anything the same. Whereas, in musical theater, typically you're supposed to sing everything the same every night. I like that he's sort of broken that mold. I don't know if they just let him do that because he's Harry Connick or this show has the freedom to do that."
First Green Day, then Harry Connick—but Umphress was performing alongside music stars well before them. During her senior year in high school, she sang with Carlos Santana in a benefit concert for the school. Santana's son Salvador was a fellow student at School of the Arts (SOTA), a public school in San Francisco that Umphress attended for three years. SOTA had a very limited enrollment, and gave priority to kids who lived in the district (which Umphress didn't), but luckily her "lineage buff" paternal grandmother had discovered the family had Native American ancestry, so she applied as a minority. (Her maternal grandmother is Italian, hence the "Nonna" she salutes in the On a Clear Day Playbill.)
For college, Umphress attended Boston Conservatory. Unlike most of her classmates, the musical theater major did not do summer stock; she needed summer employment that paid more, since she was responsible for her college expenses outside of tuition and housing. She went back home to California and worked three jobs—theater camp counselor, Starbucks barista, waitress—sometimes all in the same day.
Umphress moved to New York in 2004 after graduating from college. But she'd already gotten far in a major Broadway audition. During her junior year, she went to the open call for Marissa Jaret Winokur's replacement in Hairspray. She was called back repeatedly and made it into the final group of 10 or so actresses being considered for Tracy Turnblad, along with Carly Jibson and Kathy Brier, both of whom would play Tracy on Broadway. Umphress recalls being the only one who wasn't short, and eventually she was cut. "I don't want to say it was me, but ever since then, in every breakdown for that [character], it says '5'3 or shorter,'" she points out.
Getting that far in the auditions gave Umphress confidence to pursue her career, and she got an agent from her senior showcase in New York the following year. Once she'd settled in New York, she did put in three years singing while serving burgers and shakes to tourists at Ellen's Stardust Diner in Times Square. At the same time she was getting known for her singing in cabarets and clubs, and she recorded a live album of her show at the Laurie Beechman. It includes a set of Dinah Washington songs that's dedicated to Joe Barnett, her voice teacher when she was growing up, who'd first suggested she might be suited to that type of singing. (With her mother a Barbra Streisand fan and her father into classic rock, "I didn't have a jazz influence in my household," Umphress says.)
Now Umphress has making a studio album on her to-do list. She'd also like to act more on television. She had a couple of lines in a 2010 episode of Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, playing a college student in a bar lying to her mom on her cell phone that she's in the library. And she has a bigger part in an episode of Nurse Jackie scheduled to air in April. "Every single person was so lovely, and I had the best time," Umphress says of working on the Showtime series. "I actually got to do scenes with Edie Falco, who couldn't have been nicer. Everybody, you could tell, loves their job and was really cool, so it made me want to do that more."
On the big screen, Umphress portrayed a friend of Evan Rachel Wood's in the prom scene, set to "Hold Me Tight," of Across the Universe. Online, she had a recurring role in the theater-themed web series The Battery's Down, which produced two seasons in 2008-09. Umphress still performs in viral videos created by Battery's Down star and creator Jake Wilson; check out their latest, an original song called "You Must Be Joking," here. (You can watch all episodes of The Battery's Down—which featured such guest stars as Andrea McArdle, Cheyenne Jackson, Matthew Morrison, Mary Testa, Sutton Foster, Jesse Tyler Ferguson and Celia Keenan-Bolger—here.)
Back in live theater, Umphress has recently been involved in a couple of high-profile properties that are aiming for Broadway, including a reading of the Diane Paulus-directed revisal of Pippin and a backers' presentation of Bare, where she had the principal role of Nadia (with Shoshana Bean as Ivy). And on Feb. 6, Umphress will headline the annual A-T Children's Project benefit, hosted by Priscilla Lopez. Featuring songs by Sammy Buck and Daniel S. Acquisto (Like You Like It, ...And Then I Wrote a Song About It), the concert raises funds for the A-T Clinical Center at Johns Hopkins Hospital, dedicated to fighting ataxia-telangiectasia, a congenital disease that attacks the nervous and immune systems.

Bottoms Up: The Pros Picks for Top Toilets
Picking the best toilet seems like it should be straighforward — but it isn't. Trouble is, there are many variables to consider. But at the end of the day, certain toilets tend to rise to the occasion. Terry Love, who is a plumber and plumbing blogger, loves his Toto toilets. Consumer Reports and Consumer Search, which is a meta-analysis of a whole host of reviews, also give props to some American Standard, Kohler and Gerber toilets. For the lowdown on the latest toilets, read on…
Some notes:
• Most of these toilets are low-flow or low-consumption (1.6 gallons per flush or less)
• Most work by gravity not by pressure, like the older toilets. Gravity mechanisms are easier to repair and more effective but are not a great choice for homes with poor plumbing systems.
• Many of these are available in either standard height or "comfort height"/ADA height, which means they sit higher off the ground.
• Most come with an elongated shape or a round shape (better for smaller spaces but I find less comfortable)
• Many have a special coating on the bowl itself to help prevent staining
• You can choose between two-piece toilets and one-piece. The latter are generally more expensive but easier to clean and may look more sleek.
Terry Love's choices: Five star toilets:

2. TOTO Ultramax II (MS604114CEFG; Watersense 1.28 GPF) (Commercial Grade Quiet. Powerful flush, Consumer friendly, 3" flush valve. A homeowner favorite!)

Howl's Moving Castle: Special Edition (JP - DVD R2)
Gabe checks on all four discs of Hayao Miyazaki's latest awsome adventure...
This review is sponsored by
Once upon a time, a simple hat maker named Sophie ends up taking a walk through the air with a handsome and mysterious wizard, who unbeknownst to her is named Howl. When one of Howl's many enemies, the evil Witch of the Waste, confronts Sophie later that night, there is a minor argument. The jealous witch cruelly casts a curse, turning the young beauty into an elderly woman. Not wanting to concern her family and friends, Sophie takes to the hills in search of a cure.
Through chance, Sophie stumbles upon the wizard Howl's moving castle, a magical fortress of mystery and fascination. Within the castle she befriends Calcifer (the fire demon that makes the fortress work), Markl (Howl's young apprentice) and is reintroduced to the master himself. However there is little time for civilities; a war rages across the land and all wizards have been called to action. To make matters worse, Sophie finds herself unable to tell anyone about her curse.
I like Hayao Miyazaki films. I like them a lot. I like their artistry, their pacing, and their ability to be innocent and wise, epic and intimate. Laputa: Castle in the Sky, Princess Mononoke, and Spirited Away are three of my all time favourite animated films. It goes then without saying that my opinion of Miyazaki's latest would be a skewed one. Howl's Moving Castle is by no means a shocking deviation or revelation and follows along the lines of the majority of the director's work.
Favourite themes are again revisited. Our heroin gets through her hardships by helping others, her heart of gold taming even the most ferocious beasts. She is joined by a series of sidekicks, most of them adorable creatures of few words, who would give their lives in her name. There is an entirely futile war tearing innocent people apart. There is a lead male whose lust for power has blinded him to the important things in life. Most importantly among these however, is the fact that none of the protagonists or antagonists are entirely evil and every one of them is capable of redemption by the film's end.
This particular film is based on anther author's work, but still fits very snugly into the filmmaker's repertoire. This comforting revisit of past themes ends up being the film's chief shortcoming. It is hard to get too excited about film for the same reasons it is hard to get too excited about remakes; if it ain't broke, don't fix it. Most of what makes the film special is undeniably reminiscent of other, better films.
However, Howl's Moving Castle is by no mean a failure. To the contrary, it is one of the best films I've seen all year. The illustration and animation are wondrous and mesmerising. The fantastic beauty is gracefully contrasted by larger than life war sequences. These scenes of carpet bombed, picturesque landscapes sober the mood without ruining it, revealing Miyazaki's maturity and harkening back to his Manga masterpiece Naasica of the Valley of the Wind - which was made into a relatively disappointing film early in the director's career. Oh, but those landscapes before they get bombed, lovely, just lovely. The theme of magic is always a fun one too.
Miyazaki's real gift is the dreamlike quality he furnishes his films with. Howl's Moving Castle is not lacking in this capacity, and is eerily hypnotising at times. The entire movie seems to float, from the cinematography to the backgrounds and the meandering story line. I did not care for the characters as much as those in Miyazaki's magnum opuses, yet their aloof nature actually added to the film's capricious nature. Even sequences of violence feel breezy and detached, in a good way.
Basically Howl's Moving Castle is a sweet morality play with a semi-bland lead, charming supporting characters, and achingly gorgeous animation. So it is pretty much just like every other film Hayao Miyazaki has ever made.
The feature can be found on three of the four discs in this set (more on that in the audio and extras categories). Each transfer appears to be identical. Colours are bright and sharp. There is no obvious edge enhancement or digital compression issues, though a few cases of digital blocking are present. Due to the film's age, the transfer is very clean and nary a smidgen of grain or artefacting. The colourful depth of field is so gorgeous that it can appear three-dimensional. Because Howl's Moving Castle is animated and mastered this year, its image is second only to purely computer created features like Finding Nemo or Revenge of the Sith in crispness of image.
Here is where my review gets tricky. When first presented with a four-disc set of a Japanese film, I was admittedly intimidated, that is until I realized that three of the four discs contained the film. Why would they include the same film on three discs, you ask?
Disc one features the film in its original Japanese audio, presented in lush DTS ES 6.1. It sounds great. The music soars, the sound effects engulf, and the bombs rattle the room. As I'm sure most readers know, animated films benefit from not having to mix any on set sound, making the mixing of a really nice surround track. Discouragingly, this disc does not include any subtitles and I couldn't face watching the entire film without the benefit of knowing what the characters were saying. After all, it is not like this was a Godzilla movie.
This brings us to the second disc, which is presented, in Japanese, English, French, Mandarin and Cantonese Dolby Surround. Now, these all sound all right, kind of akin to really nice digital cable, but pale when compared to the Japanese DTS track. This begs the question; do I give the DVD a mediocre sound rating because I couldn't understand its language of origin? I suppose that would be wrong. I will say that the English dub is outstanding though, featuring some choice talent including Batman himself, Christian Bale as Howl, living legend Lauren Bacall as the wicked witch of the waste, and everyone's favourite Oscar host Billy Crystal as the fire demon Calcifer.
So when is a four disc special edition not all that special? When everything could have fit onto a single disc. Not that I'm an expert in the ways of digital compression but I've seen plenty of single disc sets featuring multiple language tracks and angles. I suppose the stellar DTS track might've taken up a bit of room but this has got to be a record for unnecessary discs.
The special features are mostly split over the third and forth disc and are almost entirely in Japanese with no English subtitles. Due to this language barrier, I was not able to exactly enjoy the extras enough to review them fairly, but I'll do my best.
Disc three features the option to watch the entire film as storyboards. This is a welcome feature, if not a little excessive, as I am not sure I know anyone willing to sit though almost two hours of storyboard footage. It is not clear if these are Miyazaki's own drawings. This disc also houses a series of Studio Ghibli trailers, including one for Triplets of Bellville (which must've been distributed by Ghibli in Japan) and one for the Ghibli Collection.
Disc four features release footage from around the world, followed by interviews. The MoMA premier has some interviews with members of the English voice crew but unfortunately not Christian Bale, who was probably in the middle of jumping the roofs of Gotham at the time. The San Francisco premier is at Pixar Studios, who were partly responsible for the English dub. Disc four also features a few SFX studio samples, basically revealing how the animation crew utilised computer technology to enhance their work.
The official release lists some features I either missed due to the language problem or that weren't actually on any of the discs.
When an average entry into a director's filmography is this good, it is hard to complain. Howl's Moving Castle is a beautiful piece of work, with a somewhat empty core, but plenty left to love. This four disc special edition isn't exactly end-all, or quite worth the steep price tag but the film itself is a worthy entry to any animation lover's collection.
You can purchase this title for ¥8925 from CD Japan.

DE Ansah able to practice for Lions
September 5, 2013
ALLEN PARK, Mich. (AP) — Detroit rookie Ziggy Ansah was able to practice Thursday, a sign that his recovery from a concussion may be progressing.
Ansah, a defensive end, took part in drills during the portion of practice that was open to reporters. The previous day, he did some running off to the side during practice, and later Wednesday, the team finally acknowledged that he was recovering from a concussion. Ansah did not travel to Detroit's preseason finale at Buffalo last week.
Ansah was the No. 5 pick in this year's draft. He was believed to have hurt his head after colliding with a teammate in practice Aug. 24.
The Lions open the season against Minnesota on Sunday.

Strategies for Making Heart-Healthy Products: Take out the Bad and Put in the Good
While doubts increase about soy and sodium, there's no debating the wisdom of developing heart-healthy foods.
Heart disease is the nation's No. 1 killer (616,067 in 2009), according to the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention. One medical breakthrough was reported just over a month ago. A study published in The Lancet and presented at an American Heart Association meeting in Orlando, Fla., showed heart failure patients given stem cells taken from their own bodies showed dramatic and lasting improvement, reversing heart damage and even growing new heart muscle.
As with most breakthroughs, it will take years before this therapy is confirmed, proven safe and becomes an accepted part of heart disease treatment. Until this or some other magic bullet arrives, most people – following the advice of their doctors – look to food for improvement of their heart health.
There are two intertwined strategies for making food products heart-healthy: take out the bad and put in the good.
"By removing or reducing components that are not heart-healthy, such as cholesterol or saturated fat, and replacing them with healthier alternatives, such as soy protein, product developers are able to significantly boost the health value of foods," says Noel Rudie, director of research at Harvest Innovations (www.harvest-innovations.com), Indianola, Iowa. "Another example is reducing the amount of saturated fat in a product and replacing it with dietary fiber, which is effective in lowering cholesterol."
Harvest Innovations processes various soy products plus legumes, egg replacers and expeller-pressed oils, all with an emphasis on hexane-free processing. Two recently introduced soy-based ingredients provide heart-healthy benefits.
"The first is called HIsolate. It is a non-GMO, hexane-free, 65 percent soy protein that functions like an isolate in meat, pasta and beverage products," Rudie explains. "It is a cost-effective ingredient that allows producers to offer a more economical way to add a natural and healthy protein to their food.
Textured soy protein
"The second product is Egg-Out, which can replace 100 percent of the function of egg in certain food products," he continues. "Egg-Out is a fraction of the cost of egg whites, with all the functionality of eggs offering substantial savings for food manufacturers. The base formula can be made with either soy or pea protein, as a non-allergen alternative."
Textured soy protein (TSP) is used for its low cost and high nutritional content as an extender in meat and poultry products. "Textured soy proteins have been used for more than 50 years as a replacement for ground meat," says Bob Kaegi, director of protein applications and seasoning at Wixon Inc. (www.wixon.com), St. Francis, Wis. "When fortified with vitamins and minerals it is nutritionally equivalent to animal protein." But without many of the heart-damaging effects of animal proteins.
Kaegi says that TSP is also used in vegetarian meat analogs that contain no meat whatsoever. "The flavor in the vegetarian meat analog typically is achieved through the use of seasonings and other non meat flavors. There are all kinds of meat analogs on the market today ranging from breakfast sausage analogs, Sloppy Joe analogs, veggie burgers to shredded chicken analogs, and they are all healthy, low-fat meat protein substitutes."
There is, however, a debate now about soy's health benefits. In addition to its positives -- protein and phytosterols -- it also contains estrogen-like compounds and phytic acid, the latter of which may inhibit the absorption of iron, zinc, calcium and magnesium. Even the FDA is no longer convinced of its heart-healthy attributes, and soy's health claim (for reducing LDL cholesterol) remains under review by the food agency.
Grains and fiber
Assuming soy stays in, there are 12 unqualified health claims recognized by the FDA, and six of them relate to heart health:
- Sodium and hypertension
- Dietary saturated fat and cholesterol and risk of coronary heart disease
- Fruits, vegetables, and grain products that contain fiber, particularly soluble fiber, and risk of coronary heart disease
- Soluble fiber from certain foods and risk of coronary heart disease
- Soy protein and risk of coronary heart disease
- Plant sterol/stanol esters and risk of coronary heart disease.
In addition to textured soy proteins, Wixon offers another option to manufacturers. "Oat fiber performs like soy protein concentrates and isolates and is being used in processed meats," says Kaegi. "It improves texture and cook yields by not only adding more water but by holding on to more water that normally would be purged from the meat.

JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (April 30, 2010) - Head ETSU softball coach Andrea Mangrum and her staff announced Friday afternoon that Amanda Ake (Carrollton, Ga.) and Jackie Baird (Ooltewah, Tenn.) have signed their national letter of intent to play for the Lady Bucs in 2010-11.
"With the departure of our five seniors, we are continuing to fill the voids by signing these two players," said Mangrum, who has now signed six players for the 2010-11 season. "They both come from highly accredited travel ball programs and their strength of schedule in the summer will prepare them to have an immediate impact on our program."
Ake, a 5-6 middle infielder, is a four-year letterwinner in both softball and basketball at
"Amanda is a hard working, blue collar type player who has a true love for the game," added Mangrum. "She is a natural athlete who excels on the basketball court as well as the softball field. She is a middle infielder and strong offensive player. Her attitude and competitive drive will add depth to our program both on and off the field."
Joining Ake is (Jackie) Baird, who hails from the same high school as current sophomore third baseman Amy Campbell (Chattanooga, Tenn.) at Girls Preparatory School. Like Ake, Baird is a multi-sport athlete as she excels in both softball and basketball. Baird comes from a winning background as she helped guide the Bruisers to three straight state championship titles and has been named "Best of Preps" the last two seasons according to the Times Free Press. Baird's most productive season came in 2008 where she hit .475 with ten home runs and 53 RBI, and she is currently hitting an astounding .509 with 46 RBI this season.
"Jackie is a power hitting catcher and corner infielder," said Mangrum. "She too has competed against some of the best players in the country, while bringing a wealth of talent and knowledge to our team. She will assist in replacing the power and defense of Trisha Massenzo. She was a highly recruited player and I am honored that she chose to spend her career at ETSU."
Ake and Baird join a loaded 2010-11 recruiting class which also includes Alexa Cash (Vail,

As expected, Samsung opened up thenextgalaxy.com early this morning, and released the first teaser video for the upcoming Galaxy. In the short one minute clip we see the message, "Truly smart technology becomes a natural part of life. Where a galaxy fits perfectly into your hand. Your view of the world grows even wider. As you gain the power to explore it freely and swiftly. With technology that fits in this easily, you can now stand out from everyone else."
No real facts about the product are included, but we can speculate on some of the details from the text. The line "a galaxy fits perfectly into your hands [and] your view of the world grows even wider" hints at the edge-to-edge display that has been rumored. "As you gain the power to explore freely and swiftly" could hint at the all day battery life life that Samsung has been talking up.
At the end of the video we see a herd of sheep, which is clearly another dig at Apple. Samsung previously had a campaign making fun of Apple fans waiting in line for the next iPhone, which was not received very well, so it's surprising to see them use that tactic again.
Check out the full teaser video below and let us know what you think. Then be sure to head over to thenextgalaxy.com and register for more updates. Can you find any other hidden clues that we missed?

Oct. 13, 2001
Freshman Scott McConville posted his best race as a Gaucho, placing 12th in the Cal Poly Invitational. Just half a second behind McConville was junior Darren Salmi. The pair shared the time of 27:43, and led the Gauchos' second string squad to a tenth place finish in a 15-team field. McConville and Salmi both intruded all other team's top 5 pack, including the meet winner and conference rival Cal Poly San Luis Obispo. As a team, the Gauchos succeeded in overcoming five other school's A-teams, including conference rivals UC Irvine and Cal State Northridge. The team totaled 218 points and were edged out by 3 points from taking a third conference opponent in Long Beach State (215).
Freshman Scott Brandos was the Gauchos' 3rd runner, placing 32nd, followed by Miguel Vasquez (79th) and Ron DiMaggio (82nd).
The Gaucho "B-Team" will prepare to compete again at the Fullerton Invitational this upcoming Friday. Because the Conference Championship race allows for teams to race nine athletes, the Gauchos may call upon one of the b-squad runners to prepare to run that race instead, which is scheduled for Oct. 27th, on the same San Luis Obispo Invitational course.

Before & After: A 1964 Caravan Makeover
Is it just me or do the most wonderful things seem to happen when someone says 'I think I'm just going to do this my way...' This is what happened when Kris decided to buy a 1964 caravan, break all the rules, buy next to nothing new and make it her own.
Kris Wade is the owner of The Best Little Vintage Van In Vegas, and the tiny caravan which functions as a change room, market stall, house for all things vintage and holiday home shows what can be achieved when you get creative and think outside the box.
With the exception of a professional external paint job all the work was done by Kris, family and friends:
- The carpet was ripped out and the floor, walls and ceiling were painted white.
- The outside of the van was cleaned; the silver aluminium panel on the front was replaced and all the external screws were replaced with stainless steel screws.
- Inside, The cupboard doors were removed and painted hot pink, the aluminium window frames were scrubbed clean and the curtains, cushion covers and decoration were made by hand. The retro/kitschy accessories rotate according to Kris' mood.
The colours are unbelievable and as Kris says 'They never fail to make me smile.' So who says pink and red don't work together? Who says you can't pair stripes with polka dots? Who says you can't have a pink kitchen with yellow curtains and a green table cloth if that's what you want? Her advice:
If you love what you are doing, the minor tribulations and challenges will be long forgotten when you can look at something you have created from an initial vision to the final reality. Keep persevering.
You can check out more before images of the van on Kris's facebook page.

Devils sign Jaromir Jagr
Newark, NJ – The New Jersey Devils made it official on Tuesday and announced the signing of veteran forward Jaromir Jagr.
Terms were not disclosed, but various reports on Monday indicated it to be a one-year contract. The Bergen Record said the deal is worth $2 million in salary with an additional $2 million available in bonuses.
Jagr spent the truncated 2013 season with the Dallas Stars and Boston Bruins. He was acquired by Boston prior to the trade deadline last spring and helped the Bruins to the Stanley Cup Finals with 10 assists in 22 playoff games.
The 41-year-old Czech native combined for 16 goals and 19 assists for 35 points in 45 games during the regular season in 2013. He will join his fourth team in three years since returning to the NHL for the 2011-12 campaign, which he spent in Philadelphia.
Jagr also played for the Penguins, Capitals and Rangers in his first 17 NHL seasons before heading to Russia after the 2007-08 campaign. He played three seasons in the Kontinental Hockey League before coming back to the NHL with the Flyers.
A five-time NHL scoring champion during his time in Pittsburgh, Jagr has 681 goals and 1,688 points in 1,391 regular-season games. He won the Hart Trophy as regular-season MVP with the Penguins in 1999 and won a pair of Stanley Cup titles in his first two seasons in Pittsburgh.
Jagr is eighth in NHL history in points, 10th in goals and 12th in assists (1,007).
The Devils are trying to fill a scoring void after Ilya Kovalchuk decided to retire from the NHL earlier this month. Kovalchuk wanted to remain home in Russia and left the 12 years and $77 million remaining on his contract, opting to play with SKA St. Petersburg of the KHL.

"The Tapeworm is an intestinal worm, Tænia solium, in form somewhat resembling tape. Its length is from 5 to 15 yards, and its breadth from two lines at the narrowest part to four or five at the other or broader extremity. At the narrow end is the head, which is terminated anteriorly by a central rostellum, surrounded by a crown of small recurved hooks, and behind them four suctorial depressions; then follow an immense number of segments, each full of microscopic ova. The segments are capable of being detached when mature, and reproducing the parasite. There is no mouth; but nutrition appears to take place through the tissues of the animal, as algæ derive nourishment from the sea water in which they float. The digestive system consists of two tubes or lateral canals, extending from the anterior to the posterior end of the body, and a transverse canal at the summit of each joint.

NEW ORLEANS -- The Big East champ in the Big Easy proved too much for an SEC powerhouse.
No. 22 Louisville entered the Allstate Sugar Bowl as a two-touchdown underdog to its highly regarded and fourth-ranked Florida, but quarterback Teddy Bridgewater threw for two touchdowns and the Cardinals forced three turnovers to defeat the Gators 33-23 Wednesday night at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome.
In reality, it was no contest, from start to finish.
The big national stage wasn't too overwhelming for Bridgewater, who completed 20 of 32 passes for 266 yards with one interception. His touchdown passes were a 15-yard fade to DeVante Parker in the second quarter and a 19-yard pass in the right corner of the end zone to Damian Copeland in the third quarter, helping the Cardinals race to a 33-10 lead.
"He is without a doubt one of the best quarterbacks in the country," Louisville coach Charlie Strong said of Bridgewater, the sophomore from Miami who earned the game's MVP award.
"We always say we need to take this football program to a different level," Strong added. "If you just look at this game, we just physically matched up and we were able to just overpower the No. (4) team in the country. We knew this was a big game for us. It sets the tone for next season for this whole program."
The Cardinals (11-2) scored on a pick-six by cornerback Terell Floyd on Florida's first play from scrimmage, and Bridgewater did the rest by keeping the usually dominant Gators defense off-balance with his pocket movement and rifle arm.
"It was a curl route, and the ball was tipped, and Terell made an unbelievable play on the ball and he goes and scores," Strong said. "We felt if we could get a lead, we could maintain a lead because they weren't a team to produce a lot of points."
On the interception, Florida quarterback Jeff Driskel said he threw the ball behind Andre Debose, causing Debose to deflect the ball to Floyd.
"(Debose) tried to make a play on it and tipped it right to the guy," Driskel said.
Floyd said, "I just wanted to get that ball and get to the end zone. We were just trying to prove to everyone we belong here. Everyone was doubting us and saying this game was going to be a blowout. We took it personal."
Strong, who in his third year took the Cardinals to their first BCS bowl victory, said he was mesmerized by Bridgewater's play. In the first half, the Cardinals went 5-for-6 on third-down conversions. Through the first three quarters, Louisville went 8-for-11 and Florida 0-for-6 on third-down conversions.
The final score could have been more one-sided.
"We left a lot of points on the field," Strong said.
Louisville kicker John Wallace had an extra-point attempt blocked and missed field goals of 43 and 41 yards in the second half before connecting on a 30-yarder with 7:54 left, giving Louisville a 33-10 lead.
Florida (11-2) got a Sugar Bowl-record, 100-yard kickoff return by Debose on the ensuing kick to make it 33-17. The Gators added a late 5-yard touchdown pass from Driskel to Kent Taylor to close within 33-23 with 2:13 left. However, defensive end Marcus Smith sacked Driskel on the two-point-conversion attempt, snuffing out the Gators' last chance.
"We got outcoached and outplayed," Florida coach Will Muschamp said. "That's the bottom line. You go out and you get beat, you get beat."
Trailing 24-10 at halftime, Florida tried to switch the momentum with an onside kick to start the second half, but it backfired. Louisville recovered, and the Gators were called for two personal-foul penalties, moving the ball 30 yards to the Florida 19. Bridgewater hit Copeland for a touchdown on the next play, making it 30-10.
"We felt like it was there, but we hit it too hard," Muschamp said of the onside attempt. "We wanted to steal a possession at the start of the second half."
NOTES: Louisville, which will leave the Big East for the ACC in 2014, recorded its first 11-win season since 2006... The Gators had not trailed by more than 10 points in any game this season. ... The interception return for a touchdown by Floyd was the first defensive score of the year for the Cardinals. ... While Louisville fans were excited by their team's appearance in its first-ever BCS bowl game, Florida fans were not happy about the Sugar Bowl matchup. Large pockets of the Mercedes-Benz Superdome were empty. The announced crowd was 54,178. By comparison, the R+L Carriers New Orleans Bowl between Louisiana-Lafayette and East Carolina in December drew 48,828. ... Former heavyweight champion Muhammad Ali, the "Louisville Lip," joined former University of Louisville and Denver Broncos linebacker Tom Jackson for the coin toss. Ali, who is fighting Parkinson's disease, rode on and off the field in a golf cart.

Danilo Gallinari has torn ACL, will miss rest of Denver Nuggets' season
- Image 1 of 2
- Image 2 of 2
DENVER – The Denver Nuggets will be without versatile forward Danilo Gallinari for the rest of the season after tests Friday showed he tore his left ACL against Dallas the previous night.
The team said Gallinari will have season-ending surgery soon and "a prognosis for a full recovery is excellent."
Gallinari planted his left leg awkwardly while driving past Dirk Nowitzki for a layup in the first half of Denver's 95-94 win. His knee buckled and he went down, screaming in pain.
The Nuggets sent him for an MRI on Friday and it confirmed their fears of a serious injury that will require a long rehabilitation.
The 24-year-old Gallinari averaged 16.2 points, 5.2 rebounds and 2.5 assists in 71 games this season for Denver, which has clinched a playoff berth.

Emirates has upped the frequency of its Adelaide-Dubai route. The rise from four flights per week to daily, comes just three months after the route's launch and follows "exceptional demand".
Emirates is likely to introduce a new top tier to its Skywards frequent flyer program. The new Platinum level will align its loyalty program with that of new partner Qantas. The two airlines are aligning many of their products; with Qantas adopting Emirates' chauffeur service for first and business class passengers last year.
Airline alliance oneworld has announced out new benefits for top-tier cardholders. Emerald cardholders of its airline partners' frequent flyer programs will now be about to use fast-track lanes through airport security gates worldwide and are entitles to additional checked baggage in the form of an extra piece or an extra 20kgs where weight limits apply. The extra allowance applies regardless of which cabin class they fly in.
Marriott International is about to double its presence in Thailand. New hotel management agreements will see the group operate three new hotels in Bangkok, two in Pattaya, one in Phuket and one in Hua Hin. The new properties will be a mix of Marriott, Marriott Resort & Spa, JW Marriott and Ritz Carlton-branded properties.

EEOC Suit Said Pentecostal Employee Fired for Refusal to Wear Pants as Part of Uniform
CHICAGO -- Judge Michael M. Mihm of the United States District Court for the Central District of Illinois has entered a Consent Decree resolving a religious discrimination suit brought by the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission ("EEOC") against Brink's, Inc., a Division of Pittston Co., Inc. ("Brink's") under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The EEOC brought the lawsuit on behalf of Carol Grotts, a practicing Pentecostal who was hired by Brink's to work as a relief messenger at its Peoria, Illinois, area facility.
The relief messenger is one of the uniformed employees the nationwide security firm assigns to its armored car crews. When Grotts, whose religious beliefs preclude her from wearing pants, requested a modification of the standard issue uniform - she requested to wear culottes of uniform material purchased at her own expense instead of pants - Brink's refused her request and terminated her employment.
In addition to providing for $30,000 in monetary to relief to Grotts and paying her attorney's fees, the Consent Decree requires Brink's to train all managers at its Peoria area facility about Title VII's prohibitions on religious discrimination and a company's duty to reasonably accommodate an employee's religious beliefs. The Consent Decree further mandates that the company distribute its policy against religious discrimination to all employees at its Peoria branch facility and post a notice that the company will not discriminate on the basis of religion and will reasonably modify its uniform requirements to accommodate religious beliefs.
Grotts filed a Charge of Discrimination with the EEOC and the federal agency found "reasonable cause" to believe that Brink's discriminated against her by refusing to reasonably accommodate her religious beliefs. After the EEOC's efforts to conciliate the case proved unsuccessful, the agency filed suit. After Grotts filed her charge of discrimination with the agency, Brink's rehired Grotts as a relief messenger and permitted her to wear culottes in accordance with her religious beliefs.
EEOC Chicago Regional Attorney John C. Hendrickson said, "This Consent Decree is an important reminder for employers that Title VII requires reasonable accommodation of an employee's sincerely held religious beliefs. In our religiously pluralistic society, employers cannot unreasonably create inflexible policies that infringe upon an individual's ability to live in accordance with his or her religious beliefs."
Hendrickson noted that religious discrimination charge filings with the EEOC nationwide have increased 21% in the past year, from 2,127 filings in Fiscal Year 2001 to 2,572 filings in FY 2002 (according to preliminary data). Since, FY 1994, religious bias charge filings with the EEOC have risen 40% (from 1,546).
Remarking on the settlement with Brink's, John Rowe, Director of EEOC's Chicago District Office, said: "In addition to providing appropriate monetary relief to Ms. Grotts, this settlement accomplishes something important for current and future Brink's employees by providing for training that will have a long-term positive impact on their workplace."
The case was filed by the EEOC in the federal district court for the Central District of Illinois in Chicago on March 28, 2002, and captioned EEOC v. Brink's, Inc. The case number is 1:02-cv-01111. The Consent Decree was signed by the Judge on December 27, 2002.
EEOC Trial Attorney Richard J. Mrizek said: "I am happy the parties were able to come to an agreement in this case. Grotts should not have been required to choose between respecting her religious beliefs and keeping her job with Brink's. I am hopeful that this agreement will prevent future qualified applicants from facing that dilemma."
EEOC is the federal agency charged with the administration, interpretation and enforcement of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended, which prohibits employment discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, pregnancy or national origin. The EEOC is also responsible for enforcing the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967, as amended; the Equal Pay Act of 1963; and the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, which prohibits discrimination based on disability. More information about the EEOC and the laws it enforces can also be found at http://www.eeoc.gov.

DONATE NOW to make a difference to a student in succeeding at the college level and to support all of US Autism & Asperger Association programs.
Despite adequate cognitive ability for academic success in college, many individuals on the autism spectrum find post secondary education an insurmountable hill to climb. Often gaining acceptance without ever identifying themselves, these individuals go unnoticed by their professors until their sensory, social, learning styles and organizational challenge combine with fatigue and cause them to fail. Many students affected by autism spectrum disorders never finish college. As such, much more needs to be done to assist these individuals who have the potential to graduate from college but often fail because their needs are unidentified and their talents are under-supported. To assist this rising population, US Autism & Asperger Association (USAAA) formed the US College Autism Project (US CAP) in August of 2010.
Marlo Payne Thurman, MS was appointed interim director for the US CAP initiative and has formulated both the mission and vision for the project. Committed to sharing information, connecting resources, providing training, and facilitating consultation and advocacy services to meet the needs of college students on the autism spectrum, US CAP has listed its goals for 2011.
