Rollout: May 2007's Best New Products
This month's new product rollout features bistro flatbreads from Stouffer's; a groundbreaking, sugar-free stick gum from Wrigley; Diet Coke Plus, a sparkling, calorie-free beverage with vitamins and minerals from Coca-Cola; Hershey's Antioxidant Milk Chocolate; a new instant oatmeal that feels like cold cereal from Quaker Oats; Hormel's Natural Choice line of deli meats; and Kellogg's Special K Chocolatey Delight.
Restaurant-inspired flatbreads debut
Solon, Ohio-based Stouffer's, a Nestle brand, launches Corner Bistro Flatbreads, a line of restaurant-inspired crispy, seasoned breads topped with unique flavor combinations, ready in a few minutes in the oven or microwave.
Corner Bistro Flatbreads are available in four varieties: Chicken, Bacon & Spinach on a Basil and Garlic Seasoned Flatbread(grilled chicken, bacon, spinach and red onions with an alfredo sauce, topped with a blend of Italian cheeses); Steak Fajita on a Smoked Chipotle Seasoned Flatbread (grilled steak strips with sweet peppers and onions in a smoked Cheddar sauce, covered in mozzarella and Cheddar cheeses); Shrimp and Roasted Garlic on an Herb Seasoned Flatbread (shrimp and roasted garlic topped with mozzarella, Parmesan and Romano cheeses over roasted garlic sauce); and Margherita on a Basil Parmesan Seasoned Flatbread (diced garden tomatoes, basil, garlic, and red onions in a tomato olive oil sauce, topped with mozzarella cheese).
"The increasing popularity of Corner Bistro Entrees and Panini compelled us to offer more casual-eating options for consumers," says Christine Dahm, director of marketing. "Like the rest of our line, the new flatbreads are inspired by dishes offered in today's most popular restaurants."
Suggested retail price is $3.99.
Gum that dazzles the senses
This summer, Chicago-based Wm. Wrigley Jr. Co. will introduce 5, a groundbreaking, sugar-free stick gum with mouth-freshening, long-lasting flavors combined with invigorating sensations "you can feel as you chew."
Available in Rain, a tingling spearmint flavor, Cobalt, a cooling peppermint flavor, and Flare, a warming cinnamon flavor, 5 debuts in a 15-stick envelope package, a first for the gum category.
"Teens, who are constantly seeking opportunities to experience something out of the ordinary, are also the most frequent gum chewers of any age group and account for one-third of all gum chewed in the U.S.," says Martin Schlatter, chief marketing officer. "In our testing, teens and young adults told us they love everything about 5 -- from the unique tingling, cooling or warming sensations that accompany its delicious and especially long-lasting flavors to its bold graphics to its sleek, revolutionary packaging. 5 delivers an amazing new gum experience."
Suggested retail price is $1.49 for individual packs and $3.49 for a three-pack.
A diet Coke with vitamins
Coca-Cola North America, Atlanta, launches Diet Coke Plus, a sparkling, calorie-free beverage with vitamins and minerals.
Sweetened with Splenda, each 8-oz. serving provides a good source of niacin (vitamin B3), vitamins B6 and B12, zinc and magnesium (it provides 15 percent of the daily value for niacin, B6 and B12, and 10 percent of the DV for zinc and magnesium).
"Consumers, including Diet Coke drinkers, are increasingly looking for more beverage options, and we wanted to offer them the convenience of a calorie-free beverage that is a good source of several essential vitamins and minerals, and one that delivers on the great taste they have come to expect from us," says Katie Bayne, senior vice president, Coca-Cola Brands.
Diet Coke lovers need not worry. "The millions of current Diet Coke devotees across America shouldn't be concerned - America's No. 1 diet sparkling beverage is staying just as it is," Bayne adds.
Diet Coke Plus will be available nationwide in a variety of packages, including 20-oz. PET, 12-oz. cans and a 12-oz. PET trial package.
Antioxidant-rich milk chocolate
Consumers have gotten the message dark chocolate contains healthful antioxidants, more than in milk chocolate. But Hershey Co. Hershey, Pa., wants milk chocolate lovers to get the same benefit. Expanding its Goodness Chocolate portfolio, Hershey debuts Hershey's Antioxidant Milk Chocolate, which features 260 mg of flavanol antioxidants per 40 g serving vs. 110 mg in the leading dark chocolate.
The company also premieres Hershey's Whole Bean Chocolate, made with the whole cocoa bean to create a mildly sweet, smooth chocolate lower in sugar and high in fiber and antioxidants. One 40 g serving contains 7 g of fiber and 180 mg of flavanol antioxidants. And to help consumers identify higher levels of natural flavanol antioxidants, Hershey designed a distinctive antioxidant seal, which is found on the packaging of all Hershey's Goodness Chocolate products.
"Consumers are very interested in the goodness benefits of chocolate, including the antioxidants found naturally in dark chocolate," says Michele Buck, senior vice president and chief marketing officer. "This interest is driving explosive growth in dark chocolate. Now, Hershey's Antioxidant Milk Chocolate and Hershey's Whole Bean Chocolate bring the goodness benefits of dark chocolate to the broader milk chocolate category."
Suggested retail price for Hershey's Antioxidant Milk Chocolate 3-oz. bars is $1.99, and a 4.2-oz. pouch of Hershey's Whole Bean Chocolate retails for $2.99.

JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. – Sophomore forward Ellie Iaciofano scored a game-winning goal in the 64th minute of Friday night's game at East Tennessee State to give Tennessee Tech its first victory of the 2011 season.
The Golden Eagles and Buccaneers took a 1-1 tie into halftime that was broken by Iaciofano at 64:44 when she scored off an Andrea Meloff shot that was deflected by ETSU goalkeeper Caitlin Gaughan.
The goal was the first of Iaciofano's career after she distributed two assists as a freshman a year ago.
Tech struck first blood in the first half when junior midfielder Sarah Gawthrop scored unassisted in the 25th minute. Like Iaciofano's goal, Gawthrop scored on the rebound of a Meloff shot that had been saved by Gaughan.
The goal was the second of the season for Gawthrop, who bent in a corner kick against Belmont on Aug. 21.
East Tennessee was quick to answer, scoring the equalizer in the 28th minute on a Jenna Caudle goal off an assist from Morgan Thomas.
That was the only goal the Buccaneers would get on the night, however, as Tech's defense held off ETSU the rest of way and sophomore goalkeeper Becca Toler notched five saves over her 90 minutes in net.
With the win, the Golden Eagles improved to 1-2 on the season while the Buccaneers fell to 0-2 on a night in which the teams battled periods of steady rain.
Tech took 11 shots on the evening compared to 16 for East Tennessee State. In the first half, the Golden Eagles outshot the host squad 7-4 before the Buccaneers took 11 shots in the second half.
It was an efficient outing for the Tech offense, which put seven of its 11 shots on goal. East Tennessee managed six shots on goal but won 10 corner kicks compared to just four for Tech.
Meloff led the Golden Eagle attack, putting three shots on goal, while Jacquie Watkins and Kris Cambron each had one.
Tech returns to action on Sunday at UNC Asheville (0-1). Game time is set for noon CDT.

I have the distinct feeling….
Well, several distinct feelings actually.
The first is that I can't move my left leg. Normally, this wouldn't be a problem, I would hobble along until I got where I needed to be. But it's compounded by the second feeling known in the fitness world as "jelly arms": the feeling that you've overworked your muscles and they feel like jelly. Think Santa. I looked like Quasimodo going to ring the bells of Notre Dame.
This is probably because of the third feeling. I have officially been to the eighth circle of Hell: The 30 Day Shred Level 1, Day 1.
All I can say about this video is "what a workout". It's divided into sets of 3: 3×3 minutes of strength training, 3×2 minutes of cardio, 3×1 minute of ab work.
Plus: Lots of plyometrics- jumps: jumping jacks, jump rope, butt kicks. You didn't do more than 20 reps per 30 seconds. All exercises were slow and controlled- quality over quantity. Good technique.
Negative: No sound. This was my stereo's fault more than hers. Cooldown- I don't think it targeted enough muscle groups and was static, but then again, I like a lot of flexibility. The people who do her video probably aren't looking for extreme flexibility.
Overall experience: 9/10 (.5 point for no sound, but the video does have sound; and .5 points for muscle pull– both are my own doing). Definitely recommended for people who want fast, simple and effective workouts.
Vroom, cough, splutter, vroom.

Question: It is Halloween and your friends dare you to go into a haunted house. You creep up to the door, a little scared wondering what is behind the door. You go in and there is a long hallway leading out into a dark musty room with three doors. You're kind of scared once you are inside. You try to turn back, to get back outside, but when you turn around the door is closed and locked. You yell for help but there is only silence. The room is dark and you look for a light source. You see a light switch and try to turn it on. Sadly the power is out. You are terrified but have no choice but to follow the long hallway to the three doors in the pitch black. Behind one door is a bottomless pit with no end. Behind another door is an electric chair which you must sit in. Behind the last door is a pool full of acid. You must go in one of the rooms to the danger. Which one should you go through?
Answer: You should definitely go through the electric chair. Since the power is out, when you sit in the electric chair it will have no effect on you.

U.S. Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission
Meeting of November 20, 2008 – Employment Discrimination Faced by Individuals with Arrest and Conviction Records
First of all thanks to the EEOC Commission for inviting me to contribute to this discussion. My name is Diane Williams and I am the President and CEO of the Safer Foundation, an Illinois and Iowa-based, not-for-profit organization that provides institution and community based reentry services to formerly incarcerated persons. The Safer Foundation also manages two residential Adult Transitional Centers and a Halfway Back Center in the North Lawndale community in Chicago under contract to the Illinois Department of Corrections.
The mission of the Safer Foundation is to reduce recidivism by supporting, through a full spectrum of services, the efforts of people with criminal records to become employed, law-abiding members of the community. Our focus is on assisting them to obtain and retain long term employment. Last year, we provided services to over 9,300 men, women, and youth with criminal records. Of those, one third were placed in jobs. The total number of people we served also includes those that were still incarcerated at the end of the fiscal year as well as those that moved out of locations where Safer operates.
Voltaire once famously wrote that work keeps at bay three great evils: boredom, vice and need. Given that Voltaire lived during the 18th century it has been known and accepted, at least that far back and probably further, that work is an essential cornerstone of a successful society. In fact every day when we turn on the news we see how the fragile state of our economy is fraying the fabric of our society on a national and global scale. Voltaire's position is further supported by the recent research which indicates that people who are attached to the workforce post prison are far less likely to recidivate.
I don't have to tell you that there are many unemployed people in the United States today who don't have a criminal record. However, we can not pretend that the existence of a criminal record isn't particularly devastating for many out there that are looking for jobs. This has always been the case regardless whether our economy is up or down. Harry Holzer, professor of public policy at Georgetown University, has done significant amounts of research and writings on barriers to employment, particularly for people with criminal records. In a survey conducted with over 600 employers, fewer than 40 percent of employers indicated they probably or definitely would be willing to accept an applicant with a criminal record. This means a significant percentage of employers probably would not. The reasons Holzer was able to ascertain as to why this is the case are consistent with the experiences of our own sector managers at Safer. Our sector managers serve as a liaison between Safer clients and employers and also build a rapport with employers with an eye towards developing a long term, mutually beneficial relationship. Employers have communicated to our managers a host of reasons including the perception of higher liability and safety concerns in the work place, higher insurance rates, perceptions of criminality and fear of loss of business amongst others. The reasons given are highly consistent with Holzer's findings.
However, the number one reason that was given by our sector managers when asked was blanket company policy either totally excluded any one with a criminal conviction or required a lengthy amount of time to have passed (usually a minimum of seven years, often times ten) since the last conviction. In a study conducted amongst Safer sector managers fewer than one fifth of businesses contacted by Safer actually hire Safer clients. This low percentage is in spite of the evidence provided by Holzer and others that having a third party intermediary involved actually increases the likelihood that a person with a criminal record will be hired by a business.
Holzer's studies have found and our sector managers confirm that smaller sized businesses are the most likely to consider hiring people with criminal records, particularly if they are able to rely on a third party intermediary to do all the background checking. We also have found that the industries most likely to hire Safer clients include the service industry (28%); manufacturing (26%); food (22%); warehouse (21%); and construction (3%). Previous trends have shown that industry sectors with the highest job growth rates in Illinois are: transportation, warehousing and logistics, healthcare, food and hospitality. Sectors in Illinois that previously experienced the greatest need for skilled workers are manufacturing and construction. However, in the last three to six months, due to the economic downturn, all of the growth industries have significantly slowed (particularly manufacturing and construction) except for healthcare from which people with criminal records are often legally barred.
In 2002, the Egan Urban Center at DePaul University worked with the Safer Foundation and it's Council of advisors to Reduce Recidivism through Employment (CARRE) to conduct a review of Illinois' occupational licensure policies regarding people with criminal records. The study reported that in 2001 there were 98 statutes governing licensure in Illinois, 57 of which had stipulations regarding applicants with criminal convictions, affecting potential employment opportunities in 65 various occupations. The statutory restrictions either absolutely barred individuals with criminal records or generally did so by use of a "good moral character" standard. The impact of a criminal record is further exacerbated by the fact that most states allow employers and occupational licensing agencies to deny individuals with any kind of criminal record a job or license, regardless to the arrest outcome, seriousness or time that has passed. The Legal Action Center reports in its After Prison: Roadblocks to Reentry Report (2004) that thirty-six states allow all employers and occupational licensing agencies to inquire about, consider and make hiring decisions based on arrests that never led to convictions.
Based on the aforementioned Illinois occupational licensing research, advocates and policymakers sought to create Illinois legislation to relieve barriers to occupational licenses, and therefore to employment. It was a strong first step in legislative reform. The National Helping Individuals with criminal records Reenter through Employment Network (HIRE) recommended the creation of Certificates modeled after New York's Certificate law (New York Correction Law Article 23 §§ 700 - 706), which serves as evidence of rehabilitation and allows individuals with criminal convictions to apply for a Certificate that restores many rights lost as a result of a conviction, such as eligibility for certain types of jobs or occupational licenses. Though we have been able to chip away at some of those unnecessary barriers that prevent people with records from being considered for certain licenses, there is still much more work to be done on the state and most certainly on the federal level.
Devah Pager has done extensive research to show the impact race has on hiring decisions in the private business community. As she is here today to discuss those findings, I won't dwell too much on this particular topic. But, it cannot be stressed enough that across the board, race does make a significant difference in employment opportunities for people of certain ethnicities and particularly those that also have a criminal record. A definitive influence on business owners and hiring managers is that indelible image of Willie Horton. That image is a proxy that preys on the deep seeded fears of many. The combination of race and a criminal record can be devastating for the millions of African and Latino Americans who aren't Willie Horton that are denied a chance to become productive citizens of society.
Today we are here to focus on employment; however, it would be remiss of us not to acknowledge the bigger picture. Bruce Western is a professor of sociology at the Harvard Kennedy School of Government. Western's work has focused on the role of incarceration in social and economic inequality in American society. He submits that imprisonment has become a "normal" life event for young African American men without a college education. Given that according to the US census bureau, less than eight percent of young African American men have graduated from college, this is a highly significant assertion to make.
To support this conclusion, Western looks to the statistics that show that for African American men born in the late 1960s or later with less than a high school diploma, 60% have a prison record. For all African American men born between the years 1965-1969, they are 41% more likely to be imprisoned than to obtain a bachelor's degree. This paired with Devah Pager's findings regarding the effects of a criminal record on employment prospects provides a particularly sobering look at the economic picture for the African American community and the US at large.
According to research collected by Stephen Raphael, professor at the Goodman School of Public Policy at UC-Berkley and Rudolf Winter-Ebmer, professor of economics at the University of Linz, Austria, there is a concrete link that can be made between unemployment and higher crime rates. They find not only a significant correlation but a quantitatively large impact on several crime categories. Based on statistics taken from the FBI's Uniform Crime Reports across the US from 1970-1993, they were able to deduce that a drop of two percentage points in unemployment could mean a nine percent decline in burglary, 14% in rape and 30% in assault. To break that down to actual numbers, they found that based on looking at how crime and unemployment overlapped over a 23 year period, that in a sample year (1992) had unemployment been one percentage point higher, there would have been 500,000 more crimes in the United States. They concluded that if there were improved prospects for jobless workers, further declines in crime rates would be inevitable. An estimated 1,079,000 adults were convicted of a felony in state courts nationwide in 2004. In 2007, the FBI estimated that 14,209,365 arrests occurred nation wide. This year, some 600,000 inmates will be released from prison in the United States. These are significant numbers of people that now carry arrest and conviction records. In fact, according to the Bureau of Justice Statistics in 2003 there were 71 million criminal records in the criminal history files of state criminal history repositories. Even taking into account that there are people who have records in more than one state this is still an astonishing number. Those are millions of people who stand to be unemployed members of our community due to discriminatory company policies.
We know that having a criminal record matters, we know that race matters, yet these are static factors. However, that does not mean that we have to be stuck in a cycle, accountability exists on all levels. As stated earlier at the Safer Foundation, our area of focus is specifically on people with criminal records. In FY 2007, the Safer Foundation provided job opportunities to over 2700 people with criminal records job, 315 clients attending Safer educational classes earned their GEDs better positioning them for employment opportunities at increased wages. Though we are glad to have been able to help so many people, unfortunately that still leaves thousands of people in the state of Illinois alone without the supportive services that are necessary to help them get to where they need to go. But beyond preparing people for the workforce we need the government's help in implementing policies and incentives that will position people with criminal records for opportunities.
I could sit here all day and tell you stories recounting the negative experiences that our clients have had seeking out jobs. The feeling that comes over them when they are confronted with that box on the front page of a job application that says "have you ever been arrested or convicted of a crime?" they know that checking that box is as good as effectively shutting the door on a job prospect. They have seen all too often the look that comes over a hiring manager's face when they ask that dreaded question and our clients are forced to respond that they have been convicted of a crime. It doesn't matter that they have successfully completed their sentence and parole, or that they have received thorough vocational and educational training for job placement, or that they are committed to becoming productive law-biding citizens in order to take care of their family. All that matters is that once upon a time they made a mistake for which they must pay for over and over again. We have clients who refuse to leave low wage jobs sorting garbage in the heat of Chicago summers because they have been rejected so often that they are afraid to seek higher paying jobs with greater benefits.
I am pleased to say that we work with many businesses that step up to the plate on their own account and are willing to take a chance on someone with a criminal record and have been happy with the results. However we know far too many employers that are unwilling to do that on their own accord. We have a major cable company that sits on our employer advisory board but still refuses to hire a person with a criminal record. This is not the exception, it happens more than it should. It is hard to tell someone that it is worth the effort to go back to school, walk away from the easy money and allure of the streets, take low wage jobs, sort garbage in the middle of a Chicago heat wave, when at the end of the day they will never have an opportunity to move beyond minimum wage no matter how hard they work and how many skills they acquire. It is hard to tell them to stay positive when they may not even get the chance to go into a minimum wage job because they may be automatically disqualified for consideration altogether. Frankly, there are millions of people out there that at any given moment could be one closed door away from recidivating.
We ask that the EEOC support the following recommendations to encourage the employment of qualified individuals with criminal records:
* Mentioned by crime hearing testimony provided by representative of NELP
** Recommendations given to Congressman Danny Davis at a hearing by a representative of the HIRE Network
I'd like to conclude with another quote, this one from Sigmund Freud "Work has a greater effect than any other technique of living in the direction of binding the individual closely to reality; in his work, at least, he is securely attached to a part of reality… the human community." As I mentioned earlier, in 2007, Safer Foundation provided services to over 9,300 people with criminal records seeking assistance and support with finding employment and other needed services. Between 2000 and 2005 the number of people coming to us for help doubled. If the current trend continues, close to 10,000 people will come to Safer in 2009. Based on the magnitude of the need and the consequences to public safety for not addressing this need, the Safer Foundation continually works toward developing cost-effective, high impact solutions and models of workforce development that meet the unique needs of our clients and employers.
Success can be seen in our results. According to Loyola University, only 22% of Safer Foundation clients recidivate after reaching 30 days of employment retention. This represents a 58% reduction from the Illinois recidivism rate of 51.5% and a 67% reduction from the national recidivism rate of 67.5%. The bottom line is that work works. Employment is critical to public safety; people who work are less likely to be engaged in criminal behavior and are more inclined to feel invested in the community. By focusing on policies that assist people in gaining employment or at least minimize barriers people face when seeking employment, the government will be doing a greater service by empowering members of the community and creating a sense of accountability and responsibility. We must always remember that we are talking about people who have the same basic needs as any other person on this planet. They need to eat, have shelter, and care for their families. With the right policies in place they can satisfy those needs through legal means.

My own Prada dance dress
Added Oct 31, 2009
by ichigogirl
Stockholm, Sweden
Ok, it's not Prada. But the material is (from my material-heaven where they sell designer remnants).
I based it on my cowl-neckline-top but changed the sleeve-openings to cap-sleeves. I added instructions on how to make that change to my Cap Sleeve Cowl Test-run and linked it here.
I called it my dance dress because the first time I wore it was to my friend's birthday-party with african dancing-dance-teachers (we danced all night, it was great!) and the second time was to a Ryksopp concert (where they were accompanied by Robyn. hm, they are scandinavian musicians so you mightn't know them but it's great dance/club-music) followed by clubbing at my friend's club. So it's well danced after only two nights out.
However, I don't recommend making dancing-dresses in 100% wool. Steaming. I guess I'm going to have to make another one in cotton…
The mean smile must stem from the fact that the devil wears Prada, oh my…

Thank you! The shop is on Södermalm in Stockholm, and no, unfortunately they don't have an online store. If you ever visit Stockholm I'll tell you where it is though!

Thank you! Aha, wow, cool, it's hard to tell wether artists that are world famous here are outside Sweden, you know…
Btw, I went to High School in Mornington for a year (ages ago) so I listened to loads of ozzie-music for a while (I saw INXS live in Melbourne, dear memory!)

Mario Balotelli says goodbye to Milan
Mario Balotelli has issued an emotional statement to AC Milan following his move from the Serie A club to Liverpool.
- Paul: Mario's Milan marriage ends in tears
Balotelli, 24, completed his transfer to the Reds on Monday and was in attendance as his new side lost 3-1 to Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium later that evening.
The Italy international scored 30 goals in 54 games for Milan after joining from City in January 2013, and he took time out on Tuesday to thank the club's fans and players for the support they gave him during his spell at the San Siro.
"I am about to begin a new chapter but first I have to thank Milan fans that have always shown incredible loyalty and great trust in me," he said in a statement on Milan's official website.
"I also want to thank all the staff members that have always supported me and have always shown extraordinary patience throughout my whole stay at Milan.
"The biggest thank you goes to my teammates, who have put up with me on and off the pitch, as only my family are able to do. I will always appreciate your camaraderie, I have learned so much from all of you.
"I leave Milan with sadness, but know that I will still make you all proud going forward. Forza Milan! Thank you Milan!''
Milan in turn released another statement on their official website wishing Balotelli well as he embarks on his new adventure in England.
"We worked well together, Mario. We've been happy to have had you here and for this we say goodbye and thank you," the statement read.
"In one-year-and-a-half you've achieved a lot. You were decisive in our qualification for the Champions League in 2013 and were our top scorer last season. This is what your Milan thinks of you and this is our chance to confirm it publicly.
"There have been lots of memorable moments. The goal-scoring debut versus Udinese, that late winner versus Torino at the San Siro in May last year, the decisive goal against Siena and the screamer against Bologna on Valentine's Day at the San Siro.
"Thank you for everything and for what you have done at the club. We wish you the very best of luck for your next sporting and professional adventure."
Balotelli, who is Liverpool's ninth reinforcement this summer, is set to make his debut on Sunday against Tottenham at White Heart Lane.

Now that it's May, spring is officially in full bloom. From florals to pastels, there are so many great spring trends that are so youthful and fresh- it definitely puts you in the appropriate mood for the season. Taylor Swift is just one of the young starlets out there who seems to always look youthful and fresh- not just in her designer swimwear, but in her day-to-day routine. We love the colors that are trending for this season- lavender and coral. Not only has Taylor been seen wearing these shades numerous times, but we'll show you how to get the look with Lady Lux Swimwear.
Lavender is just one of the many colors we're obsessed with for spring. It's a color that takes some confidence to wear and pull off. Taylor Swift has been seen in this youthful shade multiple times- at events as well as just strolling around. There are so many great options to pull off this color using your luxury swimwear. Our favorite is the Heaven Can't Wait monokini- which is a flattering cut for just about anyone. There's also the Heaven Can't Wait bikini and the Heartless bandeau. All of which feature a fun snakeskin print on the lavender- adding just a bit of an edge to the swimwear.
Taylor is known for her old-Hollywood femininity. What's more feminine than a girly shade of coral? Taylor seems to love all shades of coral. The brightest shades resemble the Pretty Young Thing bikini as well as the Lost In Love bikini while the softer shades resemble the Melt Away bikini. Either way, there isn't a color more universally flattering than coral and, it too, is great for spring!
Whether you're pulling off these colors in your day-to-day clothing or in your Lady Lux Swimwear, remember to fully accessorize from head to toe. That will complete your feminine look with these feminine colors!

Years ago we lost a good friend to this type of wind.
Keep an eye to the sky, live to ride another day.
The Microburst
By Jim S
Schematic of the Traveling Microburst (Fujita 1981)
Yesterday evening I was working on my computer at home when the Emergency Broadcast System alarm went off on the TV in the adjoining room. It really got my attention since I wasn't expecting much in the way of severe weather, so I thought it was either an Amber alert or perhaps something more serious. I walked over to where I could see the TV and noticed it was a severe thunderstorm warning issued for Salt Lake and Davis County.
The culprit was a microburst, a localized downburst that produces strong straight line winds at the ground as depicted above. The one we had last night was an example of a dry microburst as most of the precipitation that generated it evaporated before reaching the ground. Some meteorologists differentiate between microbursts and macrobursts depending on the size of the area affected. Indeed, this event may have had macroburst scale, but we will stick with microburst for this discussion.
Dry microbursts are typically generated in Utah by high based storms. Precipitation falling from these storms falls into the dry low-level airmass and evaporates, with the resulting cooling generating an area of locally cool, dense air that sinks very rapidly towards the ground. Environmental conditions were ripe for microburst generation last night with an extremely deep, dry boundary layer extending from the surface to near 500 mb.
Meteorologists use a variable known as Downward Convective Available Potential Energy (DCAPE) to assess the potential strength of downdrafts and downbursts. Last night, the DCAPE was 1684 joules/kg, which is a very high value indicating the potential for downburst-related strong winds. What was needed was some precipitation to get things going.
The curious thing about last nights storm is that it barely showed up on the lowest elevation radar scan that we normally use to examine precipitation (especially in the winter). It was best picked up by the so-called "third tilt", which is at 1.3º relative to the local horizon. Even still, the storm was pretty unimpressive with relatively weak radar reflectivities.
But, the key here was the evaporation of that light precipitation into the dry airmass. And, it led to very strong winds. Here are some storm reports issued by the NWS, which include a 75 mph wind gust. I saw one house on the news with a very large tree on it. The residents of that home were very fortunate that it was well constructed!

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. - UC Santa Barbara shot an outstanding 278 in Tuesday's final round at the Wyoming Cowboy Classic in Scottsdale, Ariz., and moved all the way from 23rd-place to a tie for 13th.
The Gauchos' 278 was the fifth best final round and it moved them past nine schools at the prestigious event held at Talking Stick North.
Kei Kita, UCSB's top finisher at last week's OGIO-UC Santa Barbara Invitational, tied with teammate Russell Boring as the Gauchos' top finisher this week. Kita and Boring each shot 1-over par 211s to tie for 38th-place. Boring shot even-par in Tuesday's final round while Kita was 3-over at 73.
Paul Otte's 3-under par 67 on the final day was also instrumental in Santa Barbara making its move up the standings. Otte tied for 62nd at 6-over par 216. Tyler Sterk, who carded a 1-over par 71 on Tuesday, finished at 3-over par 213 to tie for 49th. Although Michael Haeri struggled through the first two round of the tourney, entering the final round 17-over par, he shot an even-par 70 on Tuesday.
Kansas State won the team title at the Cowboy Classic with a 14-under par 826, two shots better than Colorado and three better and the University of San Diego.
The individual title was won by Ben Juffer of Kansas State who defeated Mike Wuertz of Colorado State in a playoff. Both players finished 12-under par 198.
The Gauchos return to action on April 23-24 when they travel to the Anteater Invitational at the Shady Canyon Country Club in Irvine, Calif.

|No. 254 August 13, 2000
|Victoria, B.C.
This year's Botany BC was held July 13 - 15 at Big Bar Ranch in the Interior Grasslands between Clinton and the Fraser River. The setting was idyllic, the weather enjoyable, and we all had an instructive and carefree three days, with every organizational detail capably looked after by Katie Stewart and Elizabeth Easton. Three co-authors of the relevant "Book" (Parish, et al., 1996) were there to help, too: Ray Coup', Rosamund Pojar, and Anna Roberts.
Field trips went to several destinations, ranging from cool, subalpine grasslands just above the upper treeline (Calamagrostis purpurascens, Saxifraga bronchialis, ..) to semi-desert in the valley bottoms well below the lower treeline (Artemisia tridentata, Opuntia fragilis, ..). Within the forested zone, Pinus ponderosa was sometimes present, sometimes absent: we were at the northern limit of its range.
Hans Roemer took us to see a red-listed species - the grass blue grama, Bouteloua gracilis, which grows elsewhere in BC only in the extreme south-eastern corner of the province (Douglas et al. 1998).
A place where every one of us, I believe, spent a strenuous and satisfying day is the Churn Creek Protected Area (BC Parks). Ungulates graze in the area: cattle grazing is permitted and the site is also winter pasture for a herd 300-500 California bighorn sheep. With Ray Coup', who supplied an amazingly long checklist of the plants he has found growing there, we explored a magnificent expanse of grasslands right to the brink of a vertical cliff overlooking Churn Creek.
The ground surface between the well-spaced bunch grasses and other plants is, for the most part, protected from erosion and moisture loss by a well-developed cryptogamic crust, comprised of a mosaic of lichens (primarily crustose and squamulose species), mosses, liverworts, algae, and cyanobacteria (nitrogen fixers). Ray was careful to point out many of the species and identify them for us. The crust is crucial to the wellbeing of the whole grassland ecosystem, however, it is particularly sensitive to damage from the hooves of grazing animals. Cowpie lichen (Diploschistes muscorum) is one of the first to recolonize heavily grazed sites and when abundant can be used to indicate disturbances from the past.
After-dinner speakers added greatly to our enjoyment and to our knowledge of the region we were in. They were: Dave Eyer, on 'Geology and Ecosystems of the Marble Range'. (The range rises immediately east of Big Bar Ranch.) Jean Williams, on 'Ethnobotanical Use of the Local Flora'. Kimberlee Chambers, on 'Native Plants of South-Central BC: past uses and future potential'.
It's worth noting that, geologically speaking, our hikes were in the Cache Creek Terrane. This terrane was once part of the Pacific floor. According to current theory, it was the seafloor between neighbouring island arcs which, together, became attached to BC as a single unit, probably about 150 million years ago (Ludvigsen and Beard, 1994; Monger, 1996). So we were admiring terrestrial plants at a place where marine life once flourished, leaving an abundance of early Triassic fossils, up to 250 million years old. Especially numerous among the fossils are tiny conodonts, the "teeth" of small (2 or 3 cm) worm-like, marine "conodont animals" (Orchard, 1996).
That was Botany BC, 2000. Next year, 2001, Botany BC meets in Smithers. See you there! - Chris Pielou, Comox

Officer Shot in Line of Duty Recovering But Still Fighting Crime!
September 21st, 2012 by milwaukeepolice
Five burglars were taken into custody on Spetember 18 – and they're repeat offenders for burglary and robbery. The story of their apprehension shows the dedication of the Milwaukee Police Department – both on- and off-duty members.
On September 18, 2012 at 1:24 p.m., District 7 Police Officer Melissa Takacs responded to an entry in the 4400 block of N. 82nd st. Officer Takacs discovered a broken kitchen window in the rear of a residence there. As she broadcast this information Police Officers Nicholas Federer and Joseph Zingsheim stopped three subjects at 83rd and Congress. Two of these subjects had latex gloves in their pockets. The three subjects who were arrested have been stopped by District 7 personnel in the past and have been arrested for Burglary and Prowling.
While on scene in the 4400 block of N. 82nd St, at 2:16 p.m., Officer Takacs received a phone call from a police officer who was off-duty and recovering from a gunshot wound he received in the line of duty. That officer informed Officer Takacs of two suspicious males looking into a neighbor's house in the area of 89th and Center. Officer Takacs broadcast the desription of the actors given to her by the off-duty officer.
District 7 Police Officers Daniel Vidmar and Matthew Dresen observed the two subjects matching the description at 3:11 p.m. at 40th and Locust. Officer Dresen caught the first subject and Officer Frank Galloway caught the second subject at 40th and Locust. Property was recovered in the area of the foot chase. One suspect was arrested for robbery three months ago, but the case was a "no process." The other suspect was out on a signature bond… yes, for two counts of Burglary.
An off-duty, injured officer called one of the burglaries in to a burglary suppression squad. Officer Melissa Takacs put the description over the air right away and the bicycle officers apprehended the subjects and recovered property after a brief foot pursuit. Fantastic work by all of the officers, including our off duty officer who had been shot just five days earlier and was recovering at home. That's dedication to the service and to the community.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) - An Omaha-based ethanol company says it's buying an idle ethanol plant in north-central Nebraska.
Green Plains Renewable Energy Inc. said that it has signed an agreement with Choice Ethanol Holdings LLC to acquire the former Nedak Ethanol plant in Atkinson. The deal includes an ethanol storage and loading facility about 15 miles east of the plant. Terms were not disclosed.
The Norfolk Daily News has reported that Choice Ethanol, of Fargo, N.D., was a company formed by Nedak Ethanol's lenders. Choice Ethanol had bought the plant at auction in January.
Green Plains CEO Todd Becker says Green Plains plans to staff and restart the plant within the next four weeks.
The plant can produce about 50 million gallons of ethanol a year.

I was in an alleyway in Chicago the first time someone told me about Stone Butch Blues. "You've got to read this book," she said. "Stone Butch Blues." The "she" in question was an older Femme (they always were), and the name of the book got right under my skin. I can remember the feeling: My ears perked up, head tilted back, eyes focused. Stone Butch Blues, I thought. Ok. I was sixteen years old, had been out since I was fourteen, and had been a tomboy all my life.

Missouri Bill to Allow School Bus Ads Amended to Include Seat-Belt Mandate
By Michelle Fisher
School Transportation News
Earlier this month, the Missouri House approved a bill that would permit school districts to create new revenue by displaying advertisements on school bus interiors and exteriors, and HB 1273 has since been assigned to the Senate Education Committee. But before sending it to the Senate, the House enacted an amendment that bundles in a separate, and equally controversial, issue seat belts.
This amendment reads, in part, no advertising shall be permitted on any new school bus purchased after January 1, 2015, unless such bus is also equipped with passenger safety belts for each student.

Tim E. Mouat-Biggs - (1919-1997)
Tim was a man who was unbelievably humble about his considerable abilities and achievements. Aviation was his whole life. After 22 years in the South African Air Force Tim founded his own aviation workshop. He flew cropsprayers and dabbled in aerial photography on the side. But most of all, Tim will be remembered for his deep devotion to gliding. Having built and flown his own gliders, he subsequently became the agent for Schempp-Hirth in South Africa.
A South African and Rhodesian (Zimbabwe) national champion many times over, Tim represented his country at several World Gliding Championships with distinction. A World Record holder, he showed the dedication, patience and skill which these achievements demand.
Around his club, Tim will be sorely missed, firstly for his contributions to safety - he never stopped second guessing safety and nobody could hear his comments without pausing to think. Cross country flying will never be as adventurous again. Every weekend the "old man" would venture forth and the rest would follow, stretching their abilities which Tim encouraged.
Tim conducted ongoing correspondence with glider friends on each continent and will be missed around the world.
This aviation giant met his untimely death doing what he loved, but it is especially ironic that a man with the best "spotter" eyes for other aircraft should die as a result of a mid-air collision. Tim never really recovered from the loss of his beloved wife, Joan, and we hope they are happily reunited in the "big sky."

Part Nine of a continuing course presentation by Center for Inquiry founder Paul Kurtz. In 2006, Dr.Kurtz taught a course entitled "Eupraxsophy and Philosophy" before an audience of adult learners at the Center for Inquiry / Transnational in Amherst, New York. It was the principal course offering in that year's Center for Inquiry Institute.
"Eupraxsophy" is a word coined by Dr. Kurtz. From Greek roots, it means good practice and wisdom. On his view, secular humanism should be understood not as a philosophy nor a religion but rather as a eupraxsophy.
This course represents a "capstone" career summation of Kurtz's thinking on secular humanism, ethics, and skepticism.
Paul Kurtz is founder and former chair of the Center for Inquiry, the Council for Secular Humanism, and the Committee for Skeptical Inquiry. He is professor of philosophy emeritus at the State University of New York at Buffalo and Editor-in-Chief of Free Inquiry magazine. He is the author of essential books in the field including Forbidden Fruit: The Ethics of Secularism, Living without Religion: Eupraxsophy, The Courage to Become, The Transcendental Temptation, and many others.

Research Strategies in England Records
Follow these principles as you search the records for your ancestor:
Always search for one generation at a time
Prove ancestry one generation at a time; always allow the evidence to lead where it takes you under all circumstances. Never jump to conclusions seeking specifically with the intent to connect into families of nobility or Royalty.
Always search for an ancestor's entire family
Each person in a family is precious. Records for each person may include clues for identifying other family members. In most families, children were born at regular intervals (every two to three years). Where gaps appear for a longer period between some children (four to five years), re-examine the birth-christening and the death-burial records for a child who may have been overlooked. Consider looking at parish chest and other records and in other places to find a missing family member, i.e. first-born children are often christened in the parish of the bride (mother).
Search each source thoroughly
The information you need to find a person or trace the family further may be a minor detail of the record you are searching; especially ancestors with more common surnames. So always note identifying factors such as the occupation of your ancestor, become familiar with his/her signature, a street address, place of abode, age, note a middle name, given-names usage, names of witnesses, godparents (in Catholic registers), neighbors, relatives, guardians, children's birth order in a family, and others.
Search a broad time period
Dates obtained from some sources may not be accurate. Look several years before and after the date you think an event, such as a birth, occurred.
Search indexes
Many records are indexed, including especially census, civil registrations of births, marriages and deaths (post-1837), and probate records; and to a lesser extent, church records. Most indexes are incomplete, even if just a little. Often indexes include only the name of the specific person the record is about, excluding most pieces of evidence shown in the original documents. Always be aware that those recording original information may have misheard and thus miss-recorded the names of people and places; moreover, at the indexing-stage, indexers may have have omitted, miss-spelled given, surnames and places as well.
Search for emigrant's origins in records of country of settlement
Information about an England emigrant ancestor's place of birth or residence is vital to successful research. In pre-1700 England many people in England especially used a small variety of names, knowing the place of residence or birth is critical before you can research in England's records for further generations. Identifying the correct ancestor (example: Richard Taylor from other Richard Taylor), requires extensive research in all available records in the country of settlement--to the fullest extent possible such as noting neighbors, others possessing the same surname in the same or nearby township[s], given-naming patterns and searching for the same matching given-name usage in England via searching in the largest available online databases, including (but not limited to) 1) FamilySearch, 2) FindMyPast, 3) Ancestry.co.uk, 4) FreeReg, 5) county OPC projects (Online Parish Clerk), 6) TNA (National Archives), 7) BritishOriginsNetwork, FHLFavorites, and others.
Searching Parish records: Always include a search in the chapelry registers also
Difficult ancestral trails often 'disappear' when an area is dotted with a mixture of chapels among the parishes, such as in especially Lancashire and Middlesex, and to a lesser extent in Cheshire, Yorkshire, Northumberland, northeast Surrey and in England's large cities, such as Bristol, Norwich and others. Aways search all chapels that exist and lay within an ancient parish. Check the following outstanding online resources and aids to help you to more accurately identify all chapels lying within an ancient parish boundary. Thorough research critically depends upon this endeavor:
- Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales (1870)
- Topographical Dictionary of England (1848)
- England Jurisdiction 1851 Maps project
- A parish locator program can be downloaded at this link, www.parloc.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/ParLocDL.html. This program provides a simple means of locating a parish and those other parishes that surround it. In general the database includes those parishes that existed sometime between the mid 16th and mid 19th centuries for the mainland and for a somewhat later period for Ireland.
- Phillimore's Atlas and Index of Parish Registers (2003) - available at many large archives, public and academic libraries throughout the world; purchase at Amazon.com or used on Ebay.com [Note: Contains omissions of some known chapels in two or more counties]
Watch for spelling variations
Look for the many ways a person or place name could have been spelled. Spelling was not standardized when most early records were made. You may find a name spelled differently than it is today, as well as several different spelling variations in the original records.
Record Your Searches and Findings
Copy the information you find and keep detailed notes about each record you search. These notes should include the author, title, location, call numbers, description, and results of your search. Most researchers use a research log for this purpose.

Ideas for Finding Compiled Information on English Ancestry
Here's an article entitled "A Checklist of Compiled Sources and Where to Find Them" that's specifically focused to aiding researchers--beginners to professional--who want to learn of compiled genealogical data on (i.e. immigrant) ancestry from England and Great Britain in general.
This article shares numerous resources such as gateway websites which provide access to ultimately billions of names that researchers worldwide have gathered and shared online or in major archives on British ancestry.

Field(s) of Interest/Expertise
My primary interest is the field of microbiology, particularly the biology of prokaryotes. I am especially interested in applied microbiology, microbial physiology and microbial ecology.
At FDU, I studied the early stages of biofilm formation in marine environments. As I have a continuing interest in marine biology, this was an ideal mix of two of my interests.
My doctoral research was on alcoholic fermentation by the bacterium Zymomonas mobilis. This involved improving the alcohol tolerance and the speed of alcohol production as part of a larger project that focused on biofuels. As the membranes of cells are sensitive to the toxic effects of ethanol, I became quite interested in cellular membrane composition and function.

6 Favorite Spots at Cleveland's West Side Market
Jan 25th
My kids each have favorite finds at Cleveland's West Side Market, an indoor/outdoor food mecca that boasts about 100 vendors selling everything from fresh blackberries to spicy beef jerky.
This year marks the 100th anniversary of the market so I thought I'd share some of my favorite food vendors there. Although I haven't yet visited all of the booths—and we do try to visit a new place each time we go—these are my top finds.
You can download a map so that you won't get lost when you visit. Then again, getting lost has its advantages—new discoveries.
What to buy: ravioli, yummy sauces & specialty butters
We usually buy a couple different kinds of ravioli along with one carton of sauce to make a meal at home. My kids love the asiago cheese-stuffed ravioli with the lobster cream sauce. There are also daily specials. The walnut butter was a hit, but the cilantro-lime linguine (my choice) wasn't so tasty.
What to buy: monk cake, pecan rolls
Monk cake is a West Side Market original. Chocolate cake with layers of mouse and raspberry filling are enveloped by a thick piece of chocolate. There are two bakeries that happen to be right next to each other that both sell monk cake. Cake Royale, created it, but
Theresa's offers it too. I'm partial to Theresa's version since it's denser and less sweet than Cake Royale's but I'm holding out a final verdict until I'm sampled it a few more times;) Maybe I also favor Theresa's since I'm addicted to their pecan rolls.
What to buy: the best brats. ever.
I don't like brats, really. Mr. Squid tried to get me to try Frank's, but I wouldn't budge until someone walked by me eating one and it smelled…heavenly. The folks at Frank's make the brats using ground veal and then flash fry them before cooking. The result is a crispy brat outside and a moist, smooth inside. When they ask, make sure to get the hard roll versus the soft and even though the
sauerkraut is good, I'd stick with just the meat and the roll to get the full flavor.
What to buy: beef jerky, bacon, whatever's on sale
My tween actually saves her allowance to spend on homemade beef jerky at J+J. The little mom-and-pop shop has been busy since it was featured in The Food Network's "The Best Thing I Ever Ate" as Iron Chef Michael Symon's pick. The folks who own J+J also own another food booth with the same offerings, Czuchraj.
What to buy: gyros
You have to get in line at Steve's before about 11:15 a.m. to avoid the lunch crowd. And I mean crowd. And there are rules to Steve's line. No cutting. No holding a place for someone else. No ordering more than one extra sandwich per person. Yeah, it's that good. This booth solidified its fame in an episode of the Travel Channel's Man v. Food. I've eaten gyros off the street in Greece–these are better. Maybe it's the mounds of meat that have been basting on the vertical spit all day or the warm, fresh pitas, or the creamy yogurt sauce. Whatever it is, a stop at Steve's is a must (a regular sandwich IMHO will easily feed two people).
What to buy: sweet or savory crepes
Looking for a vegetarian meal? Or maybe something sweet that's not too heavy? That's when I head to Crepes De Luxe. Whether you choose a savory a crepe that's piled with veggies and cheese or a dessert one filled with fresh fruit or Nutella (or both!), these huge crepes are folded so they're easy to eat while you meander through the market. And each one is made right in front of you.
*If you go to the West Side Market (and you should) it's open Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday during the day. Check the website for hours and where to park. Keep in mind that some vendors are open different times than others.
