Sen. Coburn Revives Tradition of STD Lecture for Young Congressional Staff Members
Sen. Tom Coburn (R-Okla.) on Thursday held a lecture on sexually transmitted diseases for young congressional staff members and interns, a tradition that he began while serving as a representative in the House for six years, the Washington Times reports (Wetzstein, Washington Times, 5/27). During the hourlong presentation, Coburn, a physician, discussed the prevalence of STDs and said the best way to prevent infection is to abstain from "risky sexual activities," including premarital sex, according to Knight Ridder/Miami Herald (Barnett, Knight Ridder/Miami Herald, 5/27). Coburn also advised against having multiple sexual partners and encouraged condom use as a prevention method (Washington Times, 5/27). "Condoms make a difference," Coburn said, adding that they are effective in preventing the spread of STDs, including HIV and gonorrhea. Although Coburn's lecture showed images of the "ravages" of STDs, he said that he does not give the presentation for "shock value" but to provide medical facts to young people, the Times reports. "They don't get enough information," Coburn said, adding that most new STD cases occur among people under age 25. Although some advocates of comprehensive sex education "applauded" Coburn's advice on condoms, they also said that he used "scare tactics" and "questionable data" during the presentation, according to the Times (Washington Times, 5/27). "His unwitting patients should get a second opinion," Bill Smith, vice president for public policy for the Sexuality Information and Education Council of the United States, said (Rosin, Washington Post, 5/27).This is part of the KHN Morning Briefing, a summary of health policy coverage from major news organizations.

There's not very many of you left in this day and age (or at least it seems like it). Kudos to you for all you do for this team, and the 12's that follow it.
One of my favorite little videos from this season. Not sure if it has been posted but if it has, mods feel free to delete. Hopefully they bring this same intensity to Miami, and we collect out second road win of the year!

ST. DAVIDS, PA – The twelfth-ranked York College men's lacrosse team suffered a hard-to-swallow 10-9 non-conference loss to Eastern University on a brisk Wednesday afternoon in St. David's, PA.
The Eagles improve to 6-4 overall while the Spartans have now lost two straight as they fall to 7-3.
The Spartans jumped out to an early lead as the Green and White tallied the first two goals of the game. Andrew Gamble (Easton, Md./Easton) opened the scoring with an unassisted goal 2:12 into the game. Sophomore Dakota Randall (Manhattan Beach, Calif./Mira Costa) put York up 2-0 with an unassisted goal with just 2:31 remaining in the first quarter. The Eagles cut their deficit in half with a Dave Darling goal with 1:14 remaining in the opening period of play.
The second quarter started with a non-releasable three-minute penalty for an illegal crosse against the Spartans. The Eagles took advantage of the penalty as they scored four straight man-up goals in just 2:26 of game time as they turned a one-goal deficit into a 5-2 lead. Eastern got another man up opportunity just two minutes later as they pushed the lead to 6-2.
York's Tyler Hutson (Westminster, Md./Winters Mill) stopped the bleeding with an unassisted goal with 8:45 left in the half but the Eagles got a sixth man-up goal in the quarter as Grant Ferguson found the back of the net for a 7-3 lead. The Eagles closed out their huge second quarter with an Eric Waibel goal with 2:46 left to take an 8-3 lead to the break.
The Spartans came out of the intermission and got back in the game by scoring three of the next four goals of the game, cutting the Eastern lead to 9-6 with 6:04 remaining in the quarter.
The Green and White continued their furious comeback in the opening stages of the fourth quarter. Senior James Lowe (Monrovia, Md./Urbana) opened the final quarter with a goal at the 13:49 mark, cutting the York deficit to 9-7. Sophomore Joseph Joseph (Hollywood, Md./St. Mary's Ryken) pulled York to within one with his eighth goal of the year off a pass from Tyler Davis (Finksburg, Md./Westminster) with 4:31 left. Gamble tied the game 40 seconds later when he found the back of the net off a pass from Lowe, as the comeback was almost complete.
Unfortunately for York, Eagles won the ensuing face off and got the game winner a minute later when Ferguson hit a shot as he was falling in front of the crease to give the Eagles the 10-9 lead with 2:53 left in the game.
Eastern won the face off but York forced a turnover to gain possession 20 seconds later. The Spartans then turned the ball over themselves as the Eagles cleared the ball and called timeout. York caused a turnover with 44 seconds left and cleared the ball with 37 seconds remaining. The Spartans got a Seth Krolus (Westminster, Md./Loyola Blakefield) shot that went wide of the mark with nine ticks left and would not be able to get another shot off as the game clock expired.
The Eagles finished the game with six man-advantage goals as York had 6:30 of penalty time. Four of the man-advantage goals came on the illegal crosse penalty.
Darling had a huge day for the Eagles as he tallied seven points on three goals and four assists. Ferguson added three goals and an assist for four points while Waibel chipped in with two goals for Eastern. Joe Palo was key to the Eastern upset as he controlled the X, winning 17-of-23 face offs and collecting a game-high seven ground balls. Mark Cyron spearheaded the Eagles' defensive effort with four caused turnovers and three ground balls.
The Spartans received three goals from Gamble as the sophomore continues his stellar campaign as he now has tallied 26 goals. Lowe added two goals and an assist for three points. Joseph, Hutson, Randall and Chris Varela (Easton, Pa./Easton) tallied the other goals for York. Krolus picked up a team-high four ground balls and caused two turnovers for York.
Eastern outshot York 41-29 while they dominated at the X, winning 17-of-23 face offs in the game. The Eagles held a slight 29-26 margin in ground balls.
Pat Groschan earned the win in net for Eastern as he allowed nine goals and made nine saves in his 58:35 of work. Waibel played the final 1:16 in net and was not forced to make a save for Eastern.
Caleb Abney (Forest Hill, Md./Fallston) suffered the loss despite playing fantastic for the Green and White in net. He made 14 saves and surrendered just four goals in his 53:51 of action. James Anderson (Pasadena, Md./Annapolis Area Christian), the Spartan goalie on penalties, allowed six goals with one save in his six minutes of action.
The Spartans will look to halt their losing skid on Saturday as they travel to Marymount to face the Saints in a Capital Athletic Conference contest. Game time in Arlington, VA is set for 4:00 pm.

Lets get a defibrillator running…
Despite what anyone may think, we are indeed still alive and kicking in this little corner of the internerd. Unfortunately, it is the worst part of the year for hockey so there really isn't much to say.
That said, there have been a couple items that popped up lately, so lets give them a little looksie and banter pointlessly about them in order to occupy ourselves until something real happens.
Hall and Eberle Extensions
Apparently the Oilers are looking into extending both Hall and Eberle to extensions in the near future (Omark also hasn't signed his QO, but that's a footnote). There was some discussion of Kane/Toews, Skinner and Tavares as comparables. Basically anywhere from 5.5 to 6.5 per, over 5-6 years.

A post on the Diablo III Website has more on planned changes in the upcoming version 1.04 patch for Diablo III, outlining how they will change the Legendary items in Blizzard's action/RPG to help them better live up to that label. This includes the addition of new affixes and they go on to describe their hopes that this will introduce more build diversity to the game. They also explain the ill conceived planning that made legendaries "kind of crappy," and how they are looking to de-crappify them going forward. They also talk about how this will impact set items (which are also legendary items themselves), and offer this video showing how the artists have been working to make these items have cooler appearances.

I'm a sucker for classic movies, and the other night I was watching one of my favorites – The Sweet Smell of Success. It's a 1957 melodrama with actors Burt Lancaster and Tony Curtis really chewing the proverbial scenery. The dialogue is priceless. Who can resist lines like these?
Press Agent: "If I'm gonna go out on a limb for you, you gotta know what's involved!"
Columnist: "My right hand hasn't seen my left hand in thirty years."
As enjoyable as the movie is, I do have a problem with the character Curtis plays. Sidney Falco is a totally amoral press agent who is supposed to represent the world of public relations. He's portrayed as sleazy, opportunistic, and without any real skill other than for ruining other people's reputations. The only positive thing you can say about him is that he works hard – at whatever it is he is doing. Same for studio publicist Matt Libby, played by Jack Carson in the 1954 version of A Star is Born. He's cynical and jaded, but he works very hard to save an egotistical star's career.
I wish I could say that the portrayal of PR people got better over the years, but from Jack Lemmon's alcoholic Joe Clay in The Days of Wine and Roses to Kim Cattrall's party-girl Samantha Jones in Sex and the City, I don't recognize my profession of 30+ years in any of these portrayals. Where are the strategy meetings? Who is doing the writing? There must be someone writing something, somewhere – an action plan, news release, speech, newsletter, website, blog, anything? And how about all of those hours on the phone? These characters are on the phone all right, but that's the extent of their work, it seems. What do they do all day?
The stereotypes are clear, if somewhat different for men and women. With few exceptions, public relations is portrayed as a stress-filled, down-and-dirty field for men and a fun-filled life of party-planning for women.
Most of the public relations people I know are ethical, professional and hard-working. Well, let's face it: there's no drama there!

District of Columbia Technology Management Degree | Graduate Schools & Campus Programs
Searching for universities and graduate schools with Technology Management Degree programs and graduate certificates? Whether you are a scholar with an undergraduate degree or a mid-career professional seeking a deeper understanding of how to align business strategy with computer technology, earning your graduate degree on a college campus may be a great fit. Many students welcome the chance to brainstorm with classmates, learn from their professors, live lectures, interact and participate in college activities and associations. To match the needs of working students, many universities offer courses at convenient hours (weekends, evenings). Since the Bureau of Labor Statistics predicts the demand for well-educated information technology managers will increase by 15% between 2014 and 2024[i] now may be the perfect time to consider earning a graduate technology management degree.
Types of Technology Management Degree Programs
At the graduate level, Technology Management Degree programs are offered in different tracks as Masters and Doctorate Degrees. In the event you are not quite ready for a full degree, some universities may have graduate certificate program options. The common prerequisite is an undergraduate degree from an accredited college such as a Bachelors in Information Technology or an MIS degree.
Masters in Technology Management Degrees
Masters in Technology Management programs may be available as Master of Business Administration (MBA), Master of Science (MS) and Master of Professional Studies (MPS). A bachelor's degree in information technology, management information systems, or computer science may be a relevant platform. Both experience and a graduate degree are usually necessary for advancement into more senior IT management roles.[ii] Many of the Masters programs involve practical business application and learning relevant
business management and IT skills for executing decisions relating to innovation, expansion, organizational change within a company or organizational setting.
Doctorate Technology Management Degrees
Doctorate Technology Management programs may be available as Doctor of Business Administration (DBA) or PhD in Technology Management. Sometimes, graduates of Master of Science programs enter PhD programs, while MBA graduates might choose the DBA as the next step and terminal degree. Terminal degrees are designed to prepare students for leadership and cultivate strong skills in research methodology, entrepreneurship and the integration of technology and management.
Inside a Graduate Technology Management Degree Program
University management technology programs provide business and computer courses, with the orientation towards educating and developing managers who can effectively plan, design, develop, select, implement, use and administer the present and emerging technology within their organization. This entails a level of technical and management knowledge and an alignment of business strategy with communication and information technology. If you aspire to a potential career in tech management, today's technology managers include[iii]:
- Computer and Information Systems Managers
- Information Technology Directors
- Chief Technology Officers (CTO)
- Chief Information Officers
- Information Research Scientists[iv]
Find a Graduate School for Tech Management
Finding a graduate school that has the Technology Management degree you are interested in may take a little homework on your part, but the site has some easy to use features and you can follow these simple steps:
- Choose your degree level (masters, doctorate, certificate)
- Use the location search (city, state, country)
If you plan to relocate from where you are currently, you should consider whether you are looking for a university in a large city or a small town. These factors may be incidental, but on average, a master's degree takes about 2-years and a doctorate degree could take 5-years past your undergraduate years so you want to choose a place you will enjoy. Other than that, look for a regional or nationally accredited graduate school and that the curriculum is relevant to you. You might also check into faculty and whether there is any interesting research being undertaken at the school.
Take the Next Step
The last thing to do is scroll through the directory of sponsored listings such as an on-campus Master of Business Administration – Technology Management. If you are someone who enjoys sitting in the front row to take notes or the social aspect of university, a campus program may suit you well. Find out more by requesting information from your choices, and possibly scheduling a visit to them in the near future.

I have just returned from Sherman Island in California where we had a very successful foilboard racing event. Johnny Heineken won (as usual) with Joey Pasquali and Adam Withington just behind. . There were 17 of us competing and we had a great time with 9 races over two days.
There were also raceboard races on the same days. Although we did not race with the raceboards the winning times were recorded and the foilboards were 1 to 3 minutes faster than the raceboards every day (races were typically 15 minutes.)
Virtually all of the foils were Spotz or Taaroa. There was an assortment of boards with Aguera being the most common.

FirstGlance Film Festival has the distinction of being a bicoastal affair, which is presented in both Hollywood and right here in Philadelphia. This year's festival will include three narrative feature films, four documentary feature films, sixteen narrative shorts, three documentary shorts, two animated films, four student shorts, two music videos and four web series pilots.
The festival's founder and director is Plymouth Meeting resident Bill Ostroff. The 44-year old Ostroff is a producer, Director's Guild of America assistant director and independent media consultant. He has worked for such studios as Disney, Warner Bros, Universal, Dreamworks, and Paramount. Recently, Ostroff pitched his first television series to ABC. He also wrote, produced and directed "Jedi Camp," his first webseries about bullying and "Star Wars."
Ostroff grew up in Northeast Philadelphia and graduated from Washington High School. These days, like the festival itself, Ostroff himself alternates between the west coast and the Delaware Valley. During his time away, he misses his hometown, "Nothing beats a cheesesteak, soft pretzel and a Rita's Water Ice."
Ostroff recalled his early affinity for film. "I was nine years old, watching 'Star Wars' for the 1,000th time on VHS!" He matriculated at Penn State before scoring a B.A. in Radio, Television and Film from Temple University. During college, he scored his first job in the entertainment business, working for Janis Productions. He shot mostly weddings, sweet 16s and bar/bat mitzvahs, with the occasional industrial or commercial. This led to more creative work.
Surprisingly, Ostroff had no background in festivals before starting FirstGlance, "When I got out of college, there were no real independent film festivals in the Philadelphia area. So, I decided to start my own! I was working with three other college grads doing live theater and musicals. The idea came to me to show a couple of my films that I directed in college to an audience that was not my peers."
The inaugural 1996 festival was held in the basement of the Bourse Building in a small theater with a 40-seat capacity. Ostroff recalled, "We showed 30 films, mostly local. This was before the internet, so we had to rely on local word of mouth."
Until 2000, brimming with self-confidence, Ostroff decided to mount a parallel festival on the West Coast. "I figured if I can do one in Philly, I can do one in Hollywood! The advantage of having two is that we are offering filmmakers two different festivals on separate coasts. It's the dream of most filmmakers to premiere or screen in Los Angeles, so we made it happen! "
Ostroff has learned from running FirstGlance that operating costs go up almost every year and that it is very difficult to raise entry fees, so the festivals have a very small margin of error. The biggest challenge of running FirstGlance? "Time. I spend many a free weekend watching dozens of submissions."
Many of the festival's feature films, both narrative and documentary, have been picked up for distribution after the fests. Many FirstGlance Film Fest alumni have been shown on Showtime, HBO, SnagFilm, PBS, the local indie theater, Netflix, Redbox and in some retail stores. The festival awards about $50,000 in prizes annually, as well.
"As soon as the festivals end, we start planning for the next year's festival," Ostroff said. "With two festivals a year (he runs one in L.A. also), we are always working on one aspect of one of the festivals. The festival is lots of work and little money. However, it is very fulfilling to know that we've made it possible for a smaller indie festival to succeed. We are Philadelphia's first and longest running independent film festival."
FirstGlance Film Festival will take place on Friday, Sept. 20, through Sunday, Sept. 22, at the Franklin Institute, 222 N. 20th St. For more information or tickets, visit firstglancefilms.com.
Nathan Lerner, the Director of Davenport Communications, sees over 200 feature films a year. He welcomes feedback at firstname.lastname@example.com.

A graduate with high honors from Duke University, Richard Wood earned a Bachelor's of Divinity degree from Union Theological Seminary in New York and a master's degree and Ph.D. from Yale University. He is a member of Phi Beta Kappa and earned Woodrow Wilson and Danforth Fellowships, a Fulbright-Hays Research Study Grant for study in Japan, two GLCA Humanities Grants, and the Japan Foundation Senior Research Fellowship. From 1970 to 1979 he was director of the GLCA/Associated Colleges of the Midwest Japan Study Program, and later served as Vice-President of Academic Affairs at Whittier College in California. From 1985 through 1996 he served as president of Earlham College before returning, in 1996, to Yale University as Dean of the Divinity School. He retired from Yale in 2001.
Father Mike Reding, pastor of the Church of Saint Bartholomew and Wabash Class of 1986, will deliver the Baccalaureate sermon on Sunday.
Commencement speakers were two of the 181-member graduating class, Dustin R. DeNeal and Michael B. Bricker.
DeNeal is an English major and member of Phi Beta Kappa. A four-year member of the football team, DeNeal was active in his fraternity as president of Phi Delta Theta. He has been a frequent member of the Dean's List, was a Junior Marshal at last year's Commencement, and he received Distinction on his comprehensive examinations. DeNeal won the Walter Fertig Prize in English; the Irwin-Garrard Pre-Law Prize; the David W. Peck Medal for Promise in Law; the McLain Prize in Classics; and the Stephens-Hall Senior Scholarship. He is son of Charles and Susan DeNeal of Muncie, Ind.
Bricker is an art major and member of Phi Beta Kappa. He was active in Wabash College Theater and earned the Kenneth Kloth Design and Technical Theater Award and Phi Beta Kappa Prize for his excellence in scene design. A member of the Sons of Wabash, Bricker was a frequent member of the Dean's List and designer of two issues of Callimachus, the humanities journal. He received the Paul J. Husting Award in Art; the Randolph Deer Prize in Art; the Robert Harvey Journalism Award; finished second in the Nicholas Harrison Essay Award; and was named a Mackintosh Fellow. He is the son of Shirene Bricker of Indianapolis.

YeahOKSo…there it is. I haven't much experience with doing sex only because you're gonna be photographing it, so I might have been nervous except I wasn't all that nervous.
I was glad I thought to bring condoms, but unfortunately, these were lubricated. Upside? the lube wasn't of a particularly janky flavor.
I did wonder if I'd look like a dork with my mouth all gaping open and stuff. To be honest, I think most people look pretty silly with a phallic object in their mouth. I just don't personally find it sexy!
Maybe you're of a different opinion, in which case you may well enjoy the next couple of days of photos…

CLYDE, Ohio (AP) - The owner of a former park in an area of northern Ohio where cancer has sickened dozens of children for more than a decade is agreeing to allow tests of the site.
This comes just weeks the announcement that soil samples at the now-closed park showed high levels of a chemical believed to increase the risk of certain cancers.
The former park near the town of Clyde had been owned by the Whirlpool Corp., which has a washing machine factory in the town.
The Sandusky Register (http://bit.ly/SxMT5a ) reports that Benton Harbor, Mich.-based Whirlpool and the current land owner reached a verbal agreement to allow more tests.
Nearly 40 young people have been diagnosed with cancer since the mid-1990s in a 12-mile-wide circle that's between Cleveland and Toledo.

Author Notes: As I was slicing into this chicken, I suddenly remembered this story: one day my daughter excitedly said to her preschool teacher "Guess what? Chickens have a game inside them and it's called a wishbone! Wishbones are good because you can make wishes on them." The teacher said "I've played the wishbone game before with my mom. Did you cook the wishbone first?" My daughter replied "Yeah, we had to cook the wishbone and then the game is better … way better!"
To cook those wishbone chickens, I use the tube insert of my tube pan, which settles neatly inside my 9 inch cake pan. Cooking it standing up means I don't have to turn the bird this way and that during the roasting to get a nice crispy skin. The chicken itself is inspired by a restaurant in Carmel (now replaced by a chain restaurant) that served a succulent rotisserie chicken with a flavorful herb butter. Does a perfectly roasted bird need such an embellishment? Some may argue not, but all I can say is that I have never forgotten that dish and often long for that butter while eating other perfectly fine roasted chickens. - monkeymom
You can vary the herbs to what you prefer. Chervil, thyme, lemon zest, cayenne, etc. One bird, many options for flavoring.
Food52 Review: This recipe with its unassuming 5 ingredients caught our eye for its use of simple techniques to achieve a flavorful bird with crisp skin. Monkeymom has thought a lot about roasting chicken: she has you tuck shallots and butter under the skin, season the bird and then let it rest in the fridge, uncovered, for 8 hours. The butter keeps the meat moist and the air-drying in the fridge ensures a crackly skin. She also came up with an ingenious way to replicate the verticle roasting in "beer can chicken," in which the chicken sits on top of a beer can while it grills. For her brilliant adaptation, she sets the chicken on the tube part of a tube pan. The verticle positioning allows the fat to drip off the bird while it cooks, and we think it does a great job of helping to cook the bird evenly, as every part is equally exposed to the oven heat. And did we mention that the finished bird is then served with an herb butter? Herb butter gets us every time. —The Editors
Serves: 4 to 6
Prep time: 12 hrs
Cook time: 1 hrs
For the wishbone chicken
3 1/2
pounds chicken
tablespoons softened butter
shallot, sliced thinly
tablespoon salt and pepper
For the herb butter
cup softened butter
teaspoon kosher salt
teaspoon finely minced parsley
teaspoon finely minced chives
- Wash and dry chicken. Using your hand, spread softened butter under skin on breasts, especially the part near the neck. Put shallots under skin all around. Sprinkle pepper, then salt the bird very generously all over. The key to a crispy skin is a dry bird, plenty of salt, and a hot oven. Place in refrigerator, uncovered, for 8 hours to overnight.
- For herb butter, soften the butter and add the other ingredients. Mash with fork to mix thoroughly, then scrape into saran wrap. Wrap up the butter to form a tube and chill in refrigerator.
- To roast chicken, preheat oven to 400° F. Use only one rack, placed in the bottom slot of your oven.
- Place chicken feet side down on tube insert that is placed into a 9-inch cake pan. This forms a stable base that will catch the drippings without leaking out. Tuck wing tips behind the neck and pull the legs out to separate them from the breast. This helps them cook a little faster so the breast won't dry out. If the skin has torn or is short, you can use a toothpick and pin it to the bottom end of the breast. Place the bird into oven and roast for 55 minutes (my chicken was a little under 4 lbs and was cooked perfectly at this time.)
- Remove nicely browned chicken from oven. Let rest on tube while preparing the rest of your dinner.
- Slice legs from bird, then carve breasts from bones. Be careful not to cut the wishbone, which is near the neck cavity on the front top of the breast! I've disappointed my kids many times by accidently breaking the wishbone prematurely. Pick off the goodies from the rest of the bird and share them with your favorite helper(s).
- Slice the herb butter and serve with the carved chicken. A little dab of butter on the chicken goes a long way.
- Play wishbone game.

Get ready, Eva Green fans. "Penny Dreadful" starts its second season at 10 p.m. Sunday, May 3, Showtime announced Friday.
The channel teased that the 10 episodes "will find Vanessa Ives (Eva Green) and Ethan Chandler (Josh Hartnett) forming a deeper bond."
Green's staggering performance as the troubled Vanessa helped make "Dreadful" one of last year's best new series. But chief credit for the series' chilling power goes to creator John Logan, a writer whose films include "Gladiator," "The Aviator" and "Hugo."
The cast also includes Timothy Dalton as Sir Malcolm, Harry Treadaway as Dr. Frankenstein and Danny...

"Ann Arbor is a whore"
As you celebrate another embarrassing loss for poor Rich Rod and his team of wee girls, you should wear the proper attire. There are many T-shirts with phrases disparaging that team from up north, and for good reason - Michigan sucks! You could go with the toddler flipping the bird, or "North 'til you smell it, west 'til you step in it," or "Muck Fichigan," but there's only one true classic: "Ann Arbor is a whore." It's funny because it's true.

Mission Control Center
The first space walk to originate from the International Space Station's new airlock, Quest, lasted 4 hours, 2 minutes, and established a higher degree of station independence in its own construction and maintenance.
The space walk also was the first to be supported primarily from the space station Flight Control Room in Houston, and the first demonstration of a new pre-breathing protocol that uses vigorous exercise to help purge nitrogen bubbles from the space walkers' bloodstreams and prevent what is known as "the bends."
Mission Specialists Mike Gernhardt and Jim Reilly exited the new airlock at 11:35 p.m. CDT Friday and were back inside by 3:37 a.m. Saturday. Working in tandem with the station's Canadarm2 operator and Expedition Two Flight Engineer Jim Voss and shuttle arm operator and Atlantis Commander Steve Lindsey, the space-age construction workers attached a nitrogen supply tank to the airlock's shell. This completed the installation of two nitrogen and two oxygen tanks that will be used to pressurize the airlock and resupply space suits. Atlantis Pilot Charlie Hobaugh and Station Commander Yury Usachev coordinated the space walk from inside, while Flight Engineer Susan Helms supported station arm operations.
Depressurizing the airlock took longer than expected – about 40 minutes instead of the anticipated 7 minutes. Flight controllers and engineers have not yet identified what caused the pressure equalization valve on the Crew Lock's hatch to react so slowly, but are continuing to evaluate data and reports from the crew.
During the mission's third spacewalk, Gernhardt and Reilly also moved hand-over-hand up the station's solar array truss to take a look at a gimbal assembly mechanism that allows the arrays to swivel with the Sun. They reported no visible signs that could account for high-current readings being witnessed by flight controllers on the ground.
The successful construction foray brings the total time for space station-based walks to 4 hours, 21 minutes. There have been 24 space walks devoted to station assembly, a combined total of 155 hours, 39 minutes.
The crews will go to bed at 8:04 a.m., and awaken at 4:04 p.m. to begin preparations for an undocking at 11:54 p.m. CDT Saturday. The Atlantis and Expedition Two crews will say good-bye and close the hatches at 8:59 a.m.
The JSC Newsroom will close at 7:30 a.m. CDT Saturday, and reopen at 3:30 p.m. The next mission status report will be issued about 6 p.m. Saturday or as events warrant.

Sexy animal print will always be in style. It's been around forever and the fall 2013 fashion trends at NYFW solidify that it isn't going anywhere anytime soon.
We saw these wild patterns at DKNY, Diane von Furstenberg, and Tracy Reese, just to name a few.
And not only do they come in big and small prints, but black, white, tan, brown and colored palettes, too.
So, if you were thinking of stashing away your animal print skirt, jacket, sweater, or pants after spring, we suggest you wait on that.

Jeep Engine Swaps - GM TBI V8Posted in How To on October 1, 2008
From 1987 to 1995, GM produced what was coded the "LO5" TBI 350. This engine combo was based on the solid 350ci V8 long-block with a throttle-body fuel-injection (TBI) system mounted directly on top of the intake manifold. This form of "wet intake" injection system didn't produce the higher horsepower figures later obtained with "dry intake" multiport fuel-injection (MPI) systems such as L98 or LT1 F-bodies (Vette and Camaro). However, the torque curve for the TBI engine was a perfect fit for 4x4s. Horsepower and torque values for the LO5 increased slightly over the production term ending in 1995 with 312 lb-ft of torque and a solid horsepower figure of 210. GM used the LO5 in several passenger cars such as the Caprice, but the most popular fit was the 1/2-ton pickup and Suburban line.
After a few years of production, the LO5 started turning up in a variety of transplants from Jeeps to earlier fullsize trucks. For a number of years, the standard "swap" engine for Jeep builders was the TBI 350. The fuel-injection system on the LO5 is based on a dual-injector pod which is programmed to introduce a conical spray of fuel directly into the top of the intake manifold. This most basic EFI design proved to be perhaps the easiest to diagnose and tune of any to date. Quick ignition, smooth-running, and good fuel efficiency made the LO5 a great pick.
In an engine-swap application, the wiring required to support the TBI LO5 proved to be one of the most inexpensive and basic harnesses for the aftermarket to produce, and that still holds true today. Using the engine wiring harness from the donor vehicle wasn't a huge chore. However, the availability, simplicity, and price of a fresh aftermarket TBI harness, such as those available from Howell Engine Developments, remain hard to pass up.
In today's world of complex injection systems, composite intakes, and expensive wiring systems, the LO5 would seem to be the ideal engine for the salvage-yard searcher. Unfortunately, the chances of finding a low-mileage LO5 in decent condition is made worse by the fact that GM hasn't produced one in 13 years.
Scoggin-Dickey Parts Center (SDPC) in Lubbock, Texas, hasn't let the dwindling supply of original LO5s forfeit the benefits of the tried-and-true TBI 350. Not only does Scoggin-Dickey offer a replacement engine for the LO5, but the power output is bumped to 310 hp as opposed to the 1995 figure of 210 hp. The GM short-block (PN 12556121) is a new factory-built four-bolt main block filled with all-new engine components direct from the General. An added benefit of this SDPC engine is a warranty good for 12 months/12,000 miles.
The GM short-block was chosen by SDPC for this TBI package. This choice offers the correct lifter pads to allow an upgrade to the hydraulic roller cam and a modern one-piece rear oil seal. SDPC also selects a special-grind hydraulic roller cam from Crane Cams made specifically for the TBI application for added 4WD torque. COMP Cams 1.6 Roller Rocker Arms matched with COMP Cams pushrods are used to move the air through the Edelbrock aluminum Performer heads and intake manifold. The SDPC long-block is built with new parts and includes a new GM HEI distributor, MSD plug wires, new balancer, flexplate, Milodon oil pan, and is topped off with the Edelbrock Elite valve covers.
If your Jeep project vehicle was equipped with a Buick V6, four-banger, or even the 4.0L inline-six, then a TBI 350 swap like this can be performed quite easily by almost anyone. The aftermarket-parts bin for this type of project has become so comprehensive that virtually every swap part is available for reasonable costs. Before going overboard with a new late-model Chevy Vortec 4.0 stroker kit or even a supercharger, give some serious thought to this $3,500, 100,000-mile option from Scoggin-Dickey Parts Center.

Travel Diary: Dubrovnik, Croatia
If you follow me on Instagram, then you know that for the past few weeks I've been traveling around Europe. Now that I'm back home in Seattle, I've had a few days to sort through photos – all taken on my iPhone 6 – and edit my favorite shots. For my first blog post in this travel diary series, I will share my experience in Croatia.
Simply put: Croatia is too much wonderful. We were in Dubrovnik for about a week and we could have stayed there for a month and still not done everything we wanted. In contrast to the natural beauty of the Adriatic, dotted with over 1,200 Croatian islands, is an ancient stone-walled city that has been impressively preserved and is still in use by the locals. It is like nothing I've ever seen.
Dubrovnik had something for everyone – beaches, both busy and hidden, hiking, jet skiing, sailing, kayaking, spas and resorts, expensive restaurants, cheap cafes, and to my surprise, excellent wi-fi. The locals were very friendly, which I was happy to discover, and a little kindness and patience went a long way. The city's central (and really only) industry is tourism – so they depend on visitors to make a living.
You should 100% go to Croatia. It's relatively cheap (compare it to places on the coasts of Italy or France) and uniquely beautiful. I will definitely be back to explore the northern coast of Croatia, including Split and surrounding islands.
Now for the photos. Enjoy!

text: Friday, October 14, 2011 House Calls on Super Committee to Address SGR, Medicare Extenders Yesterday, members of the House Ways and Means Committee and the House Energy and Commerce Committee issued letters to the Joint Commission on Deficit Reduction, also known as the Super Committee, encouraging it to use any health care savings to first resolve the long standing issues of the sustainable growth rate (SGR) and Medicare extenders, including the therapy cap exceptions process. "The sustainable growth rate system … must be replaced with a sustainable, fair policy that encourages coordinated care," said the Energy and Commerce Committee. "And a series of modest but essential 'health extenders' needs to be enacted with any health savings." The committee further stated that these provisions must be addressed "to ensure that Medicare beneficiaries can continue to access physical, occupational and speech therapy." In its letter, the Ways and Means Committee called for Medicare savings to first be used to "strengthen the program by extending expiring provisions and by permanently reforming the physician payment system to ensure continued access to care." The Super Committee is tasked with finding $1.2-$1.5 trillion in deficit reduction. The letters will play a critical role in APTA's advocacy work on therapy caps and payment reform this fall and reaffirms congressional willingness to address these important issues.

|Product type
|Diageo (since 1997)
|Previous owners
|James Pimm, et al.
Pimm's is a brand of gin-based fruit cup, but may also be considered a liqueur. It was first produced in 1823 by James Pimm and has been owned by Diageo since 1997. Its most popular product is Pimm's No. 1 Cup.[1][2]
Pimm, a farmer's son from Kent, became the owner of an oyster bar in the City of London, near the Bank of England. He offered the tonic (a gin-based drink containing a secret mixture of herbs and liqueurs) as an aid to digestion, serving it in a small tankard known as a "No. 1 Cup", hence its subsequent name.
In 1851, Pimm's No. 2 Cup and Pimm's No. 3 Cup were introduced. Pimm's began large-scale production in 1851 to keep up with sales to other bars. The distillery began selling it commercially in 1859. In 1865, Pimm sold the business and the right to use his name to Frederick Sawyer. In 1880, the business was acquired by future Lord Mayor of London Horatio Davies, and a chain of Pimm's Oyster Houses was franchised in 1887.
Over the years, Pimm's extended their range, using other spirits as bases for new "cups". After World War II, Pimm's No. 4 Cup was invented, followed by Pimm's No. 5 Cup and Pimm's No. 6 Cup in the 1960s.
The brand fell on hard times in the 1970s and 1980s. The Oyster House chain was sold and Pimm's Cup products Nos. 2 to 5 were phased out due to reduced demand in 1970 after new owners The Distillers Company[2] had taken control. The Distillers Company was subsequently purchased by Guinness PLC in 1986 [3] and Pimm's became part of Diageo when Guinness and Grand Metropolitan merged in 1997.[4] In 2005, Pimm's introduced Pimm's Winter Cup, which consists of Pimm's No. 3 Cup (the brandy-based variant) infused with spices and orange peel.
It has a dark-brown colour with a reddish tint, and tastes subtly of spice and citrus fruit. As a summer long drink, it is also commonly served with "English-style" (clear and carbonated) lemonade, as well as various chopped garnishes, particularly apples, cucumber, oranges, lemons, strawberry, and mint or borage, though nowadays most substitute mint. Ginger ale is a common substitute for lemonade. Pimm's can also be mixed with Champagne (or a sparkling white wine), called a "Pimm's Royal Cup". Pimm's Winter Cup is generally mixed with warm apple juice.
Pimm's is most popular in England, particularly southern England. It is one of the two staple drinks at the Wimbledon tennis tournament, the Chelsea Flower Show, the Henley Royal Regatta and the Glyndebourne Festival Opera – the other being Champagne. A Pimm's is also the standard cocktail at British and American polo matches.[5] It is also extremely popular at the summer garden parties of British universities.
The brand experienced a revival following a 2003 advertising campaign featuring a humorous classic upper-class Hooray Henry called Harry Fitzgibbon-Sims[6] (portrayed by Alexander Armstrong) with the catchphrase "It's Pimm's o'clock!",[7] somewhat mocking their own traditional advertising and appeal. Diageo's 2010 campaign[8] features a more diverse range of characters representing different elements of the Pimm's cocktail (Pimm's No.1 being an Englishman in red and white blazer, lemonade being three young women in yellow, ice represented by a mature man), coming together to the theme tune of 1970s British television show The New Avengers.
Seven Pimm's products have been produced, all fruit cups, differing only in their base alcohol:[9] Only Nos. 1, 6, and a 'Winter Cup' based on No. 3 remain.
- Pimm's No. 1 Cup is the most popular version. Based on gin, its base as bottled is 25 percent alcohol by volume.
- can also be purchased as a pre-mixed fortified lemonade (Pimm's & Lemonade) in 250 ml cans or 1-litre bottles, at 5.4 percent.
- Pimm's No. 2 Cup was based on Scotch whisky. Currently phased out.
- Pimm's No. 3 Cup is based on brandy. Phased out, but a version infused with spices and orange peel marketed as Pimm's Winter Cup is now seasonally available.
- Pimm's No. 4 Cup was based on rum. Currently phased out.
- Pimm's No. 5 Cup was based on rye whisky. Currently phased out.
- Pimm's No. 6 Cup is based on vodka. It is still produced, but in small quantities.[2]
Pimm's No. 1 has also been sold with additional strawberry flavouring and a special has also been produced based on Pimms No. 6 with blackberry and elderflower flavouring.
Some retailers have marketed "Pimms style" drinks under other names. In the UK, these have included Aldi's "Austin's", Lidl's "Jeeves", and Sainsbury's "Pitchers".[10]

U.S. Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission
Federal Agency Charged That Muslim Applicant Was Refused Hire Because of Hijab
BALTIMORE – An Ellicott City senior living home violated federal law by refusing to hire a Muslim applicant who refused to remove her hijab (a head scarf worn by Muslim women as a religious obligation), the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity charged in a lawsuit it filed today.
In its suit against Morningside House of Ellicott City, L.L.C., the EEOC charges that the director of health and wellness asked Khadijah Salim if she would be willing to remove her hijab and expressed concerns that if she were hired the hijab may interfere with her ability to work as a certified nursing assistant (CNA). Salim responded that she had worn her hijab throughout her nursing training which included working in the operating room and it had never interfered with her ability to perform her duties. Although she was told she would be contacted if someone were interested in her, she was never contacted, nor was she one of ten CNAs who were hired by the employer in September 2010.
Such alleged conduct violates Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The law requires an employer to reasonably accommodate an applicant's or employee's religious beliefs or practices unless doing so would cause more than a minimal burden on the operations of the employer's business. The EEOC filed suit after first attempting to reach a pre-litigation settlement through its conciliation process. The suit (Case No. 1:11-cv-02766-JKB), filed in U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland, Northern Division, seeks monetary and injunctive relief, to include back wages, and compensatory and punitive damages for Salim and changes in employment policies to eliminate future religious discrimination.
"We filed this suit to protect the rights of all employees and applicants to earn a living without being forced to violate their religious tenets," said Debra M. Lawrence, regional attorney of the EEOC's Philadelphia District Office, which also includes offices in Baltimore, Cleveland and Pittsburgh. "Making reasonable accommodations to employees' religious beliefs is not just reasonable, it is required by federal law."
Religious discrimination charge filings nationwide with the EEOC have increased substantially over the years. In fiscal year 2010, the EEOC received a record-high level of 3,790 religious discrimination charges.
According to its website, www.morningsidehouse.com, "Morningside House has been proudly serving seniors and their families since 1992 and is considered the 'top-referred' assisted living and dementia care provider in the Baltimore / Washington area."
The EEOC enforces federal laws prohibiting employment discrimination. Further information about the Commission is available at its web site http://www.eeoc.gov

Drying Lettuce And Other Greens For Salads
Greebo115 replied to BlessedMommy's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking TipsI place my leaves in the centre of a clean, dry tea towel, then gather the corners.....go into the back garden and swing it around my head for all I am worth! Pah, who needs fancy-shmancy salad spinners, lol.
Wheat Allergy And Grain Alcohol
Greebo115 replied to creesal's topic in Weight Issues & Celiac DiseaseSorry if I seem pedantic, but I need to point out something, in case someone who has a wheat allergy reads these posts. Just because a product is gluten free, doesn't mean is wheat free. There is a substance called "codex wheat starch" (widely used in Europe, I don't know about elsewhere) which is being used more and more in gluten free foods. Here is a description of codex wheat starch: https://www.coeliac.org.uk/glossary/codex-wheat-starch/ Here is a product example: http://www.glutafin.co.uk/coeliac-students/codex-wheat-starch/ I have a major problem with wheat and I made the mistake in thinking that if something was gluten free it was definitely wheat free - this is not so.
Dealing With People Who Don't Understand
Greebo115 replied to veryami1's topic in Coping with Celiac DiseaseI've been reading this thread, and others like it for some time.....I find dealing with people the hardest thing about gluten-free. Mostly, I've now got it cracked, but dealing with my MIL seems impossible. I'm self diagnosed, after a lifetime of progressing symptoms, which got so severe I had to leave my job and set up as self employed from home. It was by chance that I stumbled across C.com whilst I was trying to help my husband with his "suicide rash".......Amazingly so many things rang true......for both of us. Both of us were at our wits end with doctors and decided to "just go gluten free" - Long story-short - It's been a hard slog, but 18 months later I am having more good days than bad and my husband no longer keeps me awake all night with his mad scratching and snoring.......amazing! Back to MIL - she hates me (I think it's because I'm wife no. 2)......so, now when she talks to my husband, she constantly insinuates that I am MAKING him eat gluten free (Anyone who has DH will know that my hubby would rather starve than induce his "suicide rash" knowingly). When we are at family gatherings, she makes a big deal about asking me what I have been eating and telling me about EVERY FLAMING MEAL she's eaten since we last met.....then she will disappear with someone else and they will come back, staring at me, rolling their eyes and shaking their heads....... She completely does not get it.....she tells me about all these things that are wrong with her....then tells me that if she just "cuts down a bit on wheat" then she's fine. Well, that's fine, I have no interest in what she eats....really, I couldn't care less!!! But that certainly does not mean that all I have to do is the same, which is what she implies.......I have learned the hard way that even CC is a major problem for me and I follow the diet as seriously as if I have been diagnosed by a doctor and for now, I only eat food cooked by ME.. So, I have decided that next time I see her, I will say "I am utterly sick and tired of discussing my diet, do you think we can talk about something else?". That will probably end in a row......but I'm really sick of being polite......... Thanks for the opportunity to vent......lol!
Need Moral Support For Travel
Greebo115 replied to C-Girl's topic in Coping with Celiac DiseaseYeah, just to let you know - an adapter just makes the plug fit into a socket - it doesn't change the voltage. As you have found, the voltage in Europe is generally higher than the US (My American friends fritzed their stuff too). You need a device that actually converts the voltage, called a "step-down transformer". Like this: http://uk.rs-online.com/web/p/product/4784689/?grossPrice=Y&cm_mmc=UK%7CShopping-_-Google+PLA-_-OEP%7CPlug+In+Power+Supply-_-4784689&kpid=&istCompanyId=f7e7b05b-2daf-4c0e-8825-3633baf8113b&istItemId=xwilpaipx&istBid=tzit&gclid=CLSd0v6iwrwCFUj4wgod0VcAJQ Have fun!
Thankyou! I've bought solgar products before - I think they are a quality products, but I missed that they did the sublingual B12 - I'll be getting some this weekend!
cristiana, can you tell me what sublingual B12 you get, and where you get it from? I'm in the UK too and can't find any subligual.....only tablets, thanks.
Floaters - And I'm Not Talking About Vision
Greebo115 replied to NoGlutenCooties's topic in Coping with Celiac DiseaseYou need to take the DE each time you eat. They are not stored in the body, so taking them in the morning won't help at all with your evening meal. You also need to "up" or "down" the dose relative to the meal. E.g. I eat 5 meals a day. I take 2 with each of the 4 smaller meals and 4 with my main meal. You will need to find what works for you (It's not necessarily what works for me!). You will know if you have taken too many because it will cause heartburn/indigestion.
Ridiculous Conversations

Hidden Sources Of Gluten?
Greebo115 replied to mshanson3121's topic in Ingredients & Food Labeling IssuesI don't know where in the world you live, I can only give you my experience from the UK. If a company just packages many different items (including gluten products) and doesn't use precautions to prevent cc, then potentially, everything it sells is cc'd. Example of this are companies that got me: East End, Supreme and Rajah -they sell rice, beans, flours, nuts, spices etc. However, I can't help you much with rice in particular because I haven't been able to find ANY rice that I can eat without feeling glutened - so I just gave up eating rice. (In fact I now eat NO grains) I'm only 11 months gluten-free and STILL feeling major improvements in health, so, either I'm super sensitive and the rice I was eating was cc'd OR I'm still healing and just can't digest it properly or actually have a rice intolerance. I have successfully eaten cashews from an alternative safe source and various other items, so I am certain of what I am saying about these companies that sell a whole host of dried foods and flours and don't take precautions. Where/how your food is packaged matters. In the UK you can't buy rice labelled as gluten free. The law prohibits the use of "gluten free" on the label if the food is naturally gluten free, all they can say is that it is "naturally gluten free" and because the "made in the same factory as..." statement is only voluntary, just coz it's not there doesn't mean it's hasn't been cc'd - so in the UK, it will be impossible to buy labelled "gluten free rice" because rice is naturally gluten free - it's frustrating, but it is possible for rice to be cc'd, so it's up to you to investigate by reading the labels and contacting the companies. Sorry.
Hidden Sources Of Gluten?
Greebo115 replied to mshanson3121's topic in Ingredients & Food Labeling IssuesThe things that got me were mostly condiments and spices that have no business containing gluten. Eg: curry powder - I thought it was always just spices mixed, but often has wheat flour too. asafoetida powder - I thought it was pure....but nope, contains wheat flour, but can get it with rice flour instead though. Soy sauce.......jeez and when I bought gluten-free soy sauce I realised I had to be soy free too, lol. L & P Worcester sauce - nope, it's not gluten-free in the UK (lesson learned that ingredients can vary by country!) Also, when I first went gluten free I missed throwing out a few cc'd items that had been double dipped and so "should" have been gluten free, but had bread crumbs - marmite and mayo. Oh, and just because a label doesn't list wheat, barley or rye as an ingredient, doesn't mean it's not in there. The (UK) law only states that all intentional ingredients have to be listed - but it can be in there unintentionally, for example by processing the item in the same facility or on the same equipment as gluten containing items. Oats are a major example of this, but I was severely glutened by a whole range of items (cashews, beans, lentils, spices, rice flour) that I bought from one particular company that also packed wheat flour, barley, wheat berries etc. Although, afterwards, I checked and all their packaging does now carry the warning.....
Renegade, this is the exact reason I will never be diagnosed by a doctor until the day they invent another way to test. I seem to be super sensitive and can become incapacitated for 3 weeks just from something supposedly naturally gluten free (e.g. plain raw cashews, beans, rice...) that was packed in the same factory as gluten.......my own diagnosis is plenty enough!!
Ditto what the others have said - but another reason you must take back-up food for the flight: I ordered gluten free (it might have even been on a Virgin flight), and it got left behind, so they offered me a VEGETARIAN meal - like that was ANY good to me at ALL - arghhh! (pasta and veggies slathered in sauce, with a cake for dessert)
You really need to try Booja Booja chocolate truffles - dairy free, soy free and gluten free. I thought I'd never find chocolate that didn't make me ill.....I found these the week before my birthday (last week)......after 2 boxes, I can verify that even the snobbiest of chocolate snobs will love these - I do! Correction - "did" love these....need...some....more, lol. P.S. watch out - online there seem to be some old stock that does have soy, they are the same looking boxes, but clearly labelled.
Something To Consider At Indian Restaurants
Greebo115 replied to glutenfreemadeleine's topic in Gluten-Free RestaurantsIt's news to me that you can buy it without wheat flour added! - here in the UK that's how it comes. Powdered and mixed with wheat flour. I've heard rumours of an Asafoetida powder that has rice flour instead, but can't find it and never knew that you could buy it in it's pure form...hmmm, I had a look at the site you mention - interesting! I shall now hunt for some resin - thanks.

We make ricotta all the time. It couldn't be easier. Ricotta means "twice cooked" in Italian because traditionally it's made from the whey left when making mozzarella. We have used raw milk, goats' milk, organic milk, and supermarket milk, and it works out just fine.–Melissa Hamilton and Christopher Hirsheimer
LC A Ricotta by Any Other Name Isn't Ricotta Note
To echo authors Hamilton and Hirsheimer, it couldn't be easier to make your own ricotta. And to quote The New York Times and their Diner's Journal blog, "Thinking about making ricotta is only marginally easier than actually making it."
Although let's clarify one thing. What the authors and the NYT refer to above isn't ricotta, per se. It's, well, cheater's ricotta. Or what we refer to as "ricotta." (Any time you make "ricotta" by souring milk with a little lemon juice rather than slowly simmering the whey leftover from cheese making, it's only right to use air bunnies around the term.) Whereas this cheater's ricotta is similar to real ricotta in appearance, taste, and texture, it's just not quite the same as can be had from the real deal. Close. But not the same. Oh, and why is it dry looking? The cheese is well-drained for use in ricotta cheesecake. For softer curds, skim the curds immediately from the pot and don't let them drain as long.
Still, it's a quick fix for when you're feeling lazy or your craving for cheesecake just can't wait. If what you want is true ricotta prontamente, no air bunnies, sidle over to a proper cheese counter or a dairy farmer at your local greenmarket where you can find tubs of fresh, creamy, luscious, artisanal ricotta loveliness. (Remember that nursery rhyme about curds and whey? We have to say, we only recently realized how savvy Little Miss Muffett really was.)
Any extra "ricotta" or ricotta that's left in your fridge from your intended use can be drizzled with honey and spooned up for breakfast, slathered on crostini and dribbled with a heady olive oil, tossed with freshly cooked pasta and herbs or vegetables, and…shall we go on? We think you get the idea.
Fresh Whole Milk Ricotta
- Quick Glance
- Makes 3 cups
- 1 gallon whole milk
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 1 cup plain yogurt
- 1/3 cup fresh lemon juice (from 2 to 3 lemons)
- 1. Make a double boiler out of 2 large pots, pouring enough water in the bottom pot to come at least halfway up the sides of the top pot. Pour the milk into the top pot and heat over medium-high heat until the temperature reaches 190°F (88°C) on a candy thermometer, about 15 minutes.
- 2. Add the salt, yogurt, and lemon juice to the milk, and stir with a wooden spoon for about 30 seconds to mix everything together. Reduce the heat to low or turn it off.
- 3. Maintain the milk's temperature at 190°F (88°C) for the next 25 minutes, lifting the pot out of the water if the milk gets too hot and returning it as the temperature drops. Whatever you do, DO NOT stir the milk while the ricotta curds are forming. After 25 minutes, use a skimmer to carefully lift all the ricotta curds out of the whey and transfer them to a fine-mesh strainer (no need to use cheesecloth) set over a bowl.
- 4. Allow the ricotta to drain for about 1 hour, then pour off any of the drained whey from the bowl and gently dump the ricotta from the sieve into the bowl. Transfer to a covered container and refrigerate for up to 4 days.

A new line of Bobcat 3-point tillers is available for use with compact tractors and Toolcat 5610 utility work machines. Three new models have working widths of 43, 55 and 67 inches, and an adjustable tilling depth up to 5 inches.
Tiller implements for compact tractors and Toolcat machines are gear-driven, allowing them to provide an efficient method to break ground; prepare soil for planting; amend soil with fertilizer, manure or mulch; and remove weeds between tree rows. The tillers are equipped with slip-clutch protection to prevent driveline damage in case the rotor system becomes bound or jammed.
The tines of the tiller rotate in the opposite direction as the tires when the tractor or Toolcat 5610 is moving forward. The reverse action of the rotor brings materials up and over the top of the L-shaped tines providing better soil fluff. With up to 54 blades per tiller, the implements also provide better pulverization of soil. The formed deck sheds water and debris for a cleaner, rust-free surface.
Bobcat 3-point tillers are routinely used in agricultural operations for cattle and crop production applications, as well as construction in excavating, grading and site development. They are equally useful for homeowners with acreage for personal property maintenance, and serve as versatile grounds maintenance tools in rental fleets.
Each new Bobcat tiller is compatible with the following Bobcat tractors and the Toolcat 5610:
Model 3TLR48: CT120*, CT122*, Toolcat 5610
Model 3TLR60: CT120*, CT122*, CT225, CT230, CT235, and Toolcat 5610
Model 3TLR72: CT230*, CT235*, CT335, CT440, CT445, CT450 and Toolcat 5610
*Requires front ballast weights or front-end loader.
Bobcat Company, headquartered in West Fargo, N.D., is a worldwide leader in the manufacturing and distribution of compact equipment. Bobcat compact equipment includes skid-steer, all-wheel steer and compact track loaders; compact excavators; mini-track loaders; VersaHandler telescopic tool carriers; utility vehicles; compact tractors and Toolcat utility work machines.

The 2010 tournament is scheduled for May 26-29 at Ken Dugan Field at Stephen L. Marsh Stadium. The 2011 tournament is planned for May 24-28.
For the last eight years the tournament has been held at Stetson University in DeLand, Fla. Stetson submitted a bid to retain the rights to host the tournament. Also submitting bids were Kennesaw State and Florida Gulf Coast.
Philip Hutcheson, Lipscomb's director of athletics, made the official announcement Wednesday at a lunch to honor Lipscomb pitcher Rex Brothers, the 34th pick in the Major League First Year Player Draft.
Hutcheson commended the athletics department staff, the volunteers and fans for their work during the Atlantic Sun men's and women's basketball tournaments the last two years at Lipscomb's Allen Arena.
"We have top-notch people here," said Hutcheson. "When we host an event we take it personally."
Due to several teams still making the transition to NCAA Division I, only six teams will be eligible for the tournament in 2010. Lipscomb's bid was the only one from a city with two A-Sun teams. Belmont is a short drive down the boulevard from Lipscomb. East Tennessee State is also within easy driving range as well as Kennesaw State and Mercer.
"We also have a top-notch field," said Hutcheson. "Coach Dugan put the money in the field. That was really smart of him to do that." Hutcheson said he was hopeful that hosting the event might make it easier for the Bisons to return to the NCAA Tournament.
"Hosting the tournament for the next two years is going to be very important for Bisons baseball," said Hutcheson. "We are all looking forward to it."

At February's combine, Jaguars general manager David Caldwell called the potential return of wide receiver Justin Blackmon "a luxury" for Jacksonville if it happened.
The odds don't sound promising.
"It's not something we're counting on," Caldwell told reporters Friday, per Ryan O'Halloran of The Florida Times-Union, adding that he'd be "relatively surprised" if Blackmon suited up in 2014 after being suspended indefinitely without pay for violating the NFL Policy and Program for Substances of Abuse.
Caldwell said in February that the Jaguars haven't been in regular contact with Blackmon, the fifth overall pick in the 2012 NFL Draft, citing "certain rules that we have to abide by" from the NFL Players Association and the league office. The third-year wideout would need to be reinstated by the league first, something NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport on Friday called no guarantee, per sources informed of the situation.
It's a bitter pill to swallow for a promising young Jaguars team with Cecil Shorts and Ace Sanders penciled in at the position alongside Mike Brown. Last season, Blackmon lit up the field with his post-catch playmaking ability and an outrageous 19 catches for 326 yards in his first two games back from suspension.
The Jaguars can release him without owing another cent, so there's no harm in keeping his rights heading into the season. From another angle, an especially daring club could, in theory, attempt to secure Blackmon in a trade. That would be surprising, but the current regime didn't cause this headache -- they inherited it.
The latest "Around The League Podcast" runs through the latest NFL draft headlines and takes a look at which coaches and GMs are lying about their intentions.

In a month that included the historic visit to the United States by Pope Benedict, it figures that the most-viewed story on our home page for April would instead be about liturgical renewal. Bloggers and others are passionate about issues surrounding the liturgy, and their links to stories like these always have an affect on any site's Web stats. (They're also passionate about the Mormon faith, as shown by No. 2 below. More on that later.)
But eight of our most-viewed stories were indeed on the papal visit. Check them out if you missed any of our coverage the first time around:
1. Vatican official calls liturgical renewal 'irreversible path'

4. Pope Benedict greeted by Bush as he begins first U.S. visit
5. Pope calls sex abuse scandal 'countersign' to Gospel of life
6. At ground zero, pope offers silent prayer, comforts survivors
7. Cardinal Dulles gives farewell speech as Fordham's McGinley professor
8. Nuncio says pope comes to strengthen faith, hope, love of U.S. church
9. Singers who will perform for pope consider it a singular experience
10. Four key phrases help unlock meaning of pope's speech at U.N.
