It has been a devastating week for the Philippines. After Typhoon Ondoy (Tropical Storm Ketsana) caused devastating floods earlier this week, the area is now being threatened by Typhoon Parma.
Kiva is sharing messages from our Field Partners in the affected areas as we receive them. Today we received a message from Alalay sa Kaunlaran, Inc. (ASKI), who have many clients affected by the floods. At this stage we do not have details on the number of Kiva clients affected (all Kiva Field Partners work with clients funded by Kiva as well as clients funded by other sources.)
ASKI have also sent some interviews with clients as to the effect of the floods on them, which help to shed some light on the way this event has affected the locals on a personal level.
As we receive more updates, we will be sure to share them with the community.
"Effects of Typhoon Ondoy
Some of our clients were really affected by the recent typhoon Ondoy. They were devastated by the soaring flood, landslides and as a result of which they lost their houses, belongings and businesses. However, they were thankful that their lives and their loved ones' were not taken away by Ondoy. The fear they had during the time was so strong that they do not want to experience the same feeling and situation anymore but life goes on and they must move on. The fact that they are still alive is a sign that they must continue with their lives. Yes, it may be hard to start again, but it is still possible to regain what they lost.
With the help of those who have kind and good hearts and with God's will, they know that everything is possible...

2. Stories (some of the clients interviewed told the following):
What did you feel when you saw that the water is already entering your house?
"I was very nervous when I saw the flood because we were all women in the house during that time since my sons and sons-in-law were all in their workplace. Because of the tension I felt we were not able to save any of our belongings."
What are your plans after the flood?
"We are currently staying in the nipa hut of my relative's employer. We will build our own house – even just a nipa hut – and we will use bamboos in order to build this house. We will just get the bamboos in the nearby river because we have no other resources to purchase the materials for a new house at the moment."
Emotional effect of this situation in your life
"It is really hard. We need to stay in other people's house so that we will have a shelter at the moment. We do not even have clothes to wear. We need to ask help from those people whose house and belongings were not lost. We also do not have clean toilet to use. We have to find a toilet that is available so that we can take a bath and to answer the call of nature."
What did you feel when you saw that the water is already entering your house?
"I am a factory worker in a tofu manufacturing plant and I was in my workplace when I heard about the flood and I was so shocked when I was told how fast the water is approaching our area and how big it has become. I ran so fast to reach my house in my aim to save our belongings but I was unable to save anything because the bridge which I will have to pass through had been wrecked by the water. I had no choice but to stay wherever I was during that time. The following morning when the water had already subsided, I immediately went to our house. To my surprise, our house had been wiped out and no belongings nor clothes were saved."
What are your plans after the flood?
"We will pick up the pieces of wood and bamboos brought by the flood in our place and will use these to build a house where we can stay. We need to overcome this trial that has come into our life because there is nothing we can do but to accept this sad reality."
Emotional effect of this situation in your life
"It is really hard and very sad because we do not have clothes to wear and we only expect help from our neighbors who were not affected by the flood."
What did you feel when you saw that the water is already entering your house?
"I was so fearful at that time and what I did was to save my children who are so young. I can't do anything but to cry when I saw that my house was being wiped out by the flood."
What are your plans after this?
"The municipal office told us that they will provide assistance to us but until now we have not received anything from them, that is why we will try to repair the remaining parts of our house so that we can somehow stay there."
Emotional effect of this situation in your life?
"It is really hard because we have no house to stay at and we are now like beggars who are just expecting for other people's help."
What did you feel when you saw that the water is already entering your house?
"I was so afraid and nervous when I saw the water because that was the only time we experienced such big flood. I almost drown when I tried to save our belongings because the water became too big in just a span of time. I was so thankful to be saved by my neighbor who saw me when I was almost drowning."
What are your plans after this flood?
"We will rent an apartment and will start again. We will begin a small piggery in our backyard to regain what we lost."
Emotional effect in your life?
"I felt so devastated because I almost die. It is not easy to lose your house and not to have clothes to wear. Moreover, you need to always expect for what other people will give you."
What did you feel when you saw that the water was already entering your house?
"The 20 pigs in my piggery were drowned. All my investment was in that piggery business and the money I used in that was only borrowed. The person who was in charge of taking care of the pigs had a heart attack and was also a victim of the flood in Marilao. Because of my depression, I became so sad that I caught myself staring to no one or nothing in particular."
What are your plans after this?
"I just stared blankly everytime I was thinking of what happened. In order to avoid this, I just clean the house and forget it for a while. We will just ask for a calamity loan to start a new business and a new life at that."
What did you feel when you saw that the water is already entering your house?
"The water was really unexpected. It came so fast that we were unable to save our belongings and even our stocks in the store were not saved. We were in our house during that time and because of the sudden flood we just stayed on top of our roof and stayed there until the rescuer arrived. We only improvised and connect the pieces of bamboo which were available in the site so that we can be rescued from the roof top. We are so sad whenever we think of the things that we lost."
What are your plans after the flood?
"We plan to start a new business to begin a new life and regain what we lost."
What did you feel when the water is already entering your house?
"I was really shocked when I saw the flood coming. I tried to save the stocks in my store but I was not successful because the water really was so fast and suddenly became so big that it reached the second floor of our house and we were trapped there along with my three children. We just cried hard and were so disoriented and frightened for we did not know if we would die at that moment. Until now I cried every time that memory crossed my mind because my one year old son was almost bitten by snake. The next time the Angat Dam will release water, we will immediately evacuate because I am now so afraid that I cannot afford to experience this again."
What are your plans after this?
"Most of the stocks in my store were damaged. I was able to sell those that were just slightly damaged and can still be sold. I plan to use the earnings from this to buy new stocks and regain my almost lost life."

I love the cut of the jacket and where can I get slim khakis like that?

On the Steps…Pale Pink Sneakers, Paris
CommentsClose comment
103 comments
This is a new favourite.
I love the Jacket and the pink sneakers are genius.
He looks really great…a little like Kenzo Takada!?
Uniqlo khakis fit nicely, and they're definitely the cheapest you'll find.
Spring and winter together in one outfit! It's still cold, but seeing here this jacket, scarf and gloves makes me feel tired… Although they aren't ugly, I'm much more interested in the shoes, pants and bag which are also very inspiring for women.
Actually, I'm noticing the new trend in men's bag — no more messenger bags or straps over the shoulder.
love his pinnnnnnk shoes!:D
i bought a similar pair of slim khakis @ uniqlo for 30$!
In Japan! You can pick up khakis and other trousers with that cut very easily in Tokyo, where that style is the norm.
oh my. the pockets on that jacket – wonderful. and pale pink with khaki is soooo right.
Michael Bastian has chinos like that. I love the mix of the masculine blue scarf with the feminine pink shoes then balanced out with a neutral white bag.
I've ponder that too! I went to a vintage store the other day and saw a few pairs that looked like they would have had a slim fit on me but I was rushed for time :|
The pink shoes are interesting. I don't think I'd wear them, but its a refreshing and eye-catching departure from what you'd normally expect to be worn with these colors. Nice shot!
These aren't even slim. You want to try:
Uniqlo Vintage.
J Crew Classic cut.
And the best:Barba Napoli.
I saw a pair of Slim cut khakis from Modern Amusement.
I saw a pair of slim khakis from modern amusement.
Regarding the slim khakis: There are a lot of Swedish brands with slimmer khakis; Acne, J. Lindeberg, H&M etc.
Good hunt!
Acne makes a great slim khaki.
Polo has some slim-cut khakis in very nice fabrics, but the model name eludes me (Bleeker, perhaps?).
Incotex is another option, as they're cut quite slim.
Both of these suggestions may be less casual than what you're looking for, given the photo you've posted.
Jacob Cohën
This look is a little too sloppy for me. The pale pink sneakers look like something he found in the alley.
You can get slim khakis like that at Uniqlo in NYC. Vintage Chinos is what they are called, I believe. They're like $40.
Check out http://www.acnejeans.com or visit one of their Acne Studios and look at their chino collection. I think the slim model i called expand and they are available i several colours i think. Very niiiiice
uniqlo has slim khakis like those!
i like his accessories choices as much as the jacket. those shoes, that bag, and that scarf are an unexpected and great combination
Sart they have slim khaki's like that at the Polo Rugby Store.
I love the composition of the colors. The deep blue scarf is especially fab combined with the pink shoes and the white bag.
Agree on the cut of the jacket and the way the check matches at most seams. Even though I am not a slim guy, I know Brioni makes slim khakis like that, and also Trillion in Palm Beach cuts their pants slim like that. I loved the briefcase, even though it looks like canvas, the rigidity of it makes it look like leather- anyone knows who makes it? I use a Bonnie Cashin for Coach vintage briefcase for work, but when it wears out I will have to get something else. Jorge from W Palm Beach
Helmut Lang used to make a fine slim cut khaki.
i got slim khakis like that from ZARA.
You want Crate Chinos. Enjoy.
Where can I get slim khakis like that? Where?!
I wish my husband had this style (ok, except the pink sneaker).
i actually have some similar khakis. they're helmut lang vintage about 5-6 years. i think marting margiela currently makes something like that.
that shoes and that scarf. uau
Well, to me the jacket looks like it fits too snugly, and while the individual pieces of this outfit have merit, not much seems to work together. But I do like that the background colors compliment the colors of the scarf, jacket and khakis.
~ Miss Mary
looks like he slept in his ill fitting clothes to me. even on a small man like him the buttons on his jacket are straining. I love this site but some days… I mean doesn't fit matter? If not then what is it just big scarfs?
Cheap alternative for the slim khakis but H&M's Label of Graded Goods line of khakis are as slim as these.
I have a pair of similar slim khalhis from Diesel from about two years ago. I really like these. The pink sneakers are so quirky yet appear completely natural. But I wish he had unbuttoned the bottom button of the jacket, then he'd look more at ease at the top and less stuffed.
I, too, am wondering about the khakis…I need a new pair for spring.
Ah, purest inspiration.
Great Kakhis! About where to get ones…..you can try Marithie François Girbau…. I know cause I have ones and are like those :-D
About the jacket yesterday I went to a meeting and I saw one like this but was black with white dots….it was great!
Love the khakis. I could go without the shoes tho.
Nice man-bag! I like the pants, too.
try Dr. Denim.
or Zara.
uniqlo vintage khaki is almost exactly like those.
how is it that mixing such classic
elements, he manages to
look so quirky?
i love it.
A lot of swedish brands, like Acne, Our Legacy and Whyred have slim khakis like that.
Rock on in your pale orchid sneakers, brave, tiny man!
J. Crew makes a great men's slim cut khaki.
Thats a nice outfit. Really like the scarf and the shoes :P Btw Dockers have some nice slim khakis http://www.dockersstore.com/family/index.jsp?categoryId=3015280&cp=2271557&ab=slimfit_menspantsheader_2_19_08
Why did he close the lower button? would look better otherwise
I have seen similarly slim khakis from Gap (last year's collection) that looked like that on the person that wore them (but they didn't on me!!!).
i got mine from Dockers…
my favorite slim khakis are INC international concepts
Paul Smith has some nice ones, Uniqlo also does some really nice slim chinos.
These pink sneakers are absolutely fabulous in this outfit. They go so well together with navy scarf and camel khakis. Great colour mix. I love it from head to toes.
Really cool guy with a great outfit…besides the shoes. If you wonna get some slim khakis you have to come to come to Stockholm. Look at Acne;)
pink shoes caught me off guard, but they add character and fun! I could see it with oxfords too, but the sneaks just are just enough offbeat-ness…?
I got some pants like that a Lacoste last year about this time.
You can get them at the Polo Rugby store. I have a few pair and they're great.
Uniqlo Vintage Chinos are relatively slim and fairly priced. A lot of higher end brands have nice fitting chinos as well. I've seen some solid offerings from margiela, our legacy, paul smith, cdg, helmut, among others.
yeah gap sold them as "the boyfriend pant." they fit perfectly but they aren't %100 cotton and feel too synthetic.
Filippa K!
The Steve or Mcqueen Chino.
I second uniqlo. Cheap too (40 bones)
try a pair of washed cotton incotex trousers and you will fall in love!!
try Kiton or Isaia.
but where's the yellow tape? she took it with her, didn't she?
Believe it or not, Brooks Brothers has a slim gentleman's khaki available–and the material is lovely!
The look is great. I can't really find any flaw in it. Contrary to what was said about the blazer, I think it is the weakest piece. The silhoutte is great. The cut is good and the length is perfect. It could be just the flap pockets, the size of the plaid, or the 3 buttons. They just make the look a little too busy where as everything else is stark, neutral and simple.
Acne Spring/summer has a set of 'pop' chinos in 3 different fits- slim, reg, and wide. Chinos seem like an epidemic now.
they also have a lavender version of the Stroll shoes coming out- very sensitive shoe
Honestly Folks,
how atractive Uniqlo, ZARA or even H&M sound compared to Helmut Lang, Brioni or Kiton!
We are talking chinos / khakis and this is an item that lives by how it fits (and i mean the fit, here) the individual not how hip or exclusive the brand may be!
As Mr. Yves St. Laurent said "We must never confuse elegance with snobbery"
Think about it!
About the sportscoat, seams are done well!
Still it looks a bit tight if u ask me, but this could also come from a sweater worn underneath or from the fact that ist is buttoned where it shouldnt be ;) Maybe it was just cold!
The bag-is there a more masculine alternative? And im not talking messenger or flight attendent bags.
Pale pink sneakers add the lill extra touch! Nice!
And Scott, please confess that you took the pic just for the scarf ;)
Winter on top, summer on the bottom. Not every man could pull of the pink shoes, but he does.
Uniqlo Khakis is the best
Come to Stockholm. Everyone's doing the slim chino/khaki-thing this spring (even H&M…). Slightly tapered in the lower leg, and if you're in the mood – roll them up an inch or two
I barely noticed the sneakers (I cheated and read the title first).. but they are just the right amount of colour to make this outfit really pop!
all the people like the pink sneakers,i loooooveee the bag,so simple,but with the whole outfit,makes a very sofisticated effect…
svensson jeans has a new straight fit chinos in their shop in sweden, not sure it's out anywhere else though. nice quality but without the high end price.
double RL has a nice pair
Alot of the swedish brands have slimmer chinos
Marc Jacobs had slim khakis a few seasons back…there was that exact shade of pink Converse at Urban Outfitters.
If you're in Paris go to Arthur and Fox (upstairs) on Blvd St. Germain (across from Cafe Flore and 2-3 doors down from Lipp) for slim khakis (either cigarette or slash pockets).
get them at apc. i picked them up in january but i feel like they must still have them.
Pink shoes and beige khakis, nice combo! You can get fitted khakis in many, many places in Singapore, Hong Kong and Japan. Lightweight casuals to take you from day into night in abundance over here thanks to the hotter climes.
I like his outfit but the khakis should be hemmed up so they won't drag and get too dirty.
I believe Weekday in Stockholm has Cheap Monday khakis and perhaps other brands too…!? But you have probably gotten enough tips on where to get some. Just in case I guess.
I'm not sure I like the pink look on guys, it's so soft looking with the white bag. But I like the rest of the outfit, the cut of the jacket is definitely nice.
nice khakis – but where can you get those fabulous pink shoes???
you can find slim khakis on carlings in sweden, costs 595 kr.
Dr Denim has khakis exactly like those…my husband bought them in Grey.
I think there is a new Dockers model that is that slim, but i also think its made exclusively for the swedish market since our taste in slimness is well known..
Yes, please, does anyone know who made those shoes?
The jacket looks very equestrian. The small lapels, the pockets and the fitted waist. Very similar cut to a ladies riding jacket.
Coast * Ahaus * Weber, or whatever they are called, make nice slim khakis.
Sart, you should try Bills Khaki's M3 model…short rise, fitted through the seat, trimmer leg. Have your tailor taper the legs even more to get a nice trim silhouette. Incotex does cut their khakis very slim, but they aren't worth the $300 bucks you'll pay at some retailers. They are the same quality as a pair of Corbin or Ballin pant you could find at Saks (both manufacture pants for Saks private label). The selection of different fabrics Bills Khakis offers is very nice as well! Everything from their heavy 10 oz twill to their supper light poplin and chamois cloth…!
LOVE the white – looks like leather – bag.. + the pink Sneakers!!!!
Where can I get them!!!!
This guys is cool….!!!
LOVE this website to death…
I have never before seen a man pull of pale pink sneakers.
i want those pink sneaks too. i just did my best and cannot find. would love to find and will now try to recreate, or just stop, and let him rock this look on his own.
try old navy
or maybe the juniors high-skool uniform department @ macy's
love his shoes, sart!!!
I have those sneakers. I didn't buy them at some fancy-shmancy sneaker boutique. No, I scored them for $7 bucks TJ Maxx in Medford, Oregon. And they were in the women's section. I call them my "Converse All-Pinks."
I'm more interested in the jacket, where can I get a jacket like that? It doesn't have to be exact, but that jacket looks so nice!
I actually don't like the combination here at all, but I adore every piece in it, and they all fit him very well.
Dockers now makes a slim fit =)
Let me know and I can get you a pair
Where can I get that Jacket?
For slim fit khakis, you just buy a good old Docker, go to an alteration shop and they'll do the trick…
Our Legacy chinos are the best slim fit I have found.
There аrе sevеral reasons whу people today favor this

Enjoy this lovely image of St. Nicholas from artist Susan Seals, and purchase a print here. A friend of mine posted on a message board wondering what I've heard many Christians (Protestant and Catholic) wonder: how a person can encourage his or her children to believe in Santa Claus, as opposed to St. Nicholas, the Catholic saint. Are they really the same person?
First, it must be pointed out that Santa Claus IS St. Nick, at least literally. Santa means "Saint" and "Claus" is an abbreviated form of Nicholas (as in Ni-KLAUS). In our house, Baby Jesus gives the gifts (and hence all requests for toys are addressed to him).
We tell our kids the gifts come from Baby Jesus but St. Nicholas delivers them, and St. Nicholas lives in heaven, which is a lot nicer than the North Pole. We let them think what they want about reindeer and elves.
With our own children, we don't really encourage them to watch movies that propose to explain the Saint as a secular phenomenon, whether Miracle on 34th Street or The Santa Clause, so as not to confuse them. Of course there is no Mrs. Claus (Fr. Fasano says it's an easy mistake to make: she's his housekeeper.) And as I've blogged before, we love the book Country Angel Christmas by Tomie de Paola, which features a Santa Claus who lives in heaven (reindeer and all). I think that helps them picture him more clearly.
Our pastor Fr. Jerome Fasano (whom I think is the best homilist in the US) gave us a stern lecture Dec. 6th weekend when he first came to our parish, talking about the terrible scandal of so many Catholics in American accepting heresy, even unwittingly, because of lack of teaching. He said that he was pleased to see how devout and faithful our parish was, but he suspected us of harboring one heresy he found absolutely unacceptable: that there is no Santa Claus. (There was a relieved shout of laughter from the congregation at his words.) Now he gives a similar version of the homily seasonally, telling us the facts about St. Nicholas (for instance, that he was imprisoned for the faith, and that he attended the Council of Nicea, where he distinguished himself by punching Arius the heretic in the nose), and urging us to not deny our children devotion to this wonderful saint.
Some people object, saying that the popular image of St. Nicholas hardly resembles the actual life of the saint. My surmisal is this: if even half the legends about St. Nicholas are true, then I'd think that a man who spent his time on earth rescuing little girls from prostitution and little boys from sadistic butchers would be perfectly contented spending his heaven helping children receive dolls and Legos and basically serving as one of the hallmarks of their childhood innocence.
What is certain is that every since Nicholas went to heaven, he's been wildly popular with the faithful, and the accusation that he's more popular thant Jesus is far from a new one. (See various medieval miracle plays to the saint, in which Our Savior's name is barely mentioned.) Which leads me to think he really was a splendid personality on earth.

Eating disorders have gone viral.
Online communities that promote self-harm flock under social media tags like #thinspiration (thin + inspiration), #proana (pro-anorexia) and #promia (pro-bulimia).
Google (actually, don't) "pro-ana" or other "thinspo" buzzwords and you'll see literally thousands of message boards, websites, social media accounts and other dark little Internet hideaways home to what are effectively pro-eating disorder support groups. The mostly female participants living off barely-there nourishment like Diet Coke and apple slivers encourage each other to fast, posting motivational pictures of thigh gaps, sunken stomachs and rib cages.
State College of Pennsylvania journalism student Torri Singer has posted a petition on Change.org that asks Twitter to block hashtags that curate these starvation-glorifying quotes, images and diet tips. In its first two weeks, the petition has garnered 1,655 supporters.
Pinterest and Tumblr chose to police thinspo tags about a year ago. The effectiveness of tag bans is up for debate, of course. And no one appears to be harping on YouTube, despite its myriad of impossibly thin anorexics posting enabling vlogs of their frightening attempts to whittle away.
"The issue is a contentious one, and with good reason – on one hand it is in everyone's best interest to protect young or otherwise impressionable users from material that might encourage them to self-harm," writes fashion blogger Styleite. "On the other, banning certain categories of content may pave the way for greater censorship down the line."
The National Eating Disorder Association is willing to help sites come up with effective strategies, training Pinterest moderators to detect the difference between the innocuous and thinspiring. The organization also teamed up with Tumblr to enact a policy that directs people to a public service announcement if they search a pro-starvation tag.
Still, perhaps it's worth a shot, Twitter. Eating disorders stand with suicide as preventable forms of mental illness. Social pressures, "thinspirations" and opportunity make it easier to feed into the self-deprecation, notes Paige Padilla, the 17-year-old curator of a blog whose images often get ripped off by thinspo groups. Padilla spoke with The Atlantic this week about transforming her site from "thinspiration" to "fitspiration" to combat the pro-ana culture that keeps hijacking her attempts to encourage healthy weight loss.
Should Twitter listen to Singer's petiton, the magazine asks?
"I'm not going to say I think it'd be super effective," answers Padilla. "But I don't think they should just sit back and not do anything about it just because [pro-eating disorder users] will find something else to use. They should be blocking every channel they've got that gets the message across, and keep blocking the tags until the movement is suppressed. This is an issue that requires a vigilant effort. I'm in favor of blocking the thinspo hashtag. I really hope this issue gets resolved, because this is an epidemic, basically. I hope girls can escape it."

Bay Scallops with Garlic Parsley Butter Sauce – I'll Have the Nostalgia on Toast
24 comments:
I thought it would be hard to top the chicken bacon ranch skewers, but lo and behold... Scallops.
You're on a roll here Chef John, site keeps getting better and better.
( you used the wrong by in buy comparison in your article. I'm not an asshole though so I won't point that out)

Oh, these look so good! Simple, fast and fantastic! Definitely on the menu for this week! Thank you!

dear chef john,
i have a confeceion to make:
i HATE parsly, just cant stand it
what can i use instead?
your loyale reader and fellow foodwisher,

Chef all scallops (sea, bay) come in dry or in brine.
I personally dislike the brined scallops very much, but very much love me some U5 American Dry Sea Scallops (Mass, Vermont area).
The brine is famous for Far-Eastern Scallops (although you can buy Far-east Scallops that are dry as well, or local scallops with brine), a lot of time the brine is spiked with chemicals so that the scallops retain more water and they appear much larger than they actually are (thats why you see shrimps and scallops shrink in size once hitting the heat).
As usual wonderful recipe!

When making as pasta sauce, do you still cook until the liquid comes to a boil? Does that overcook the scallops?

Just add the scallops right at the end, after you boil the cream for a minute.

Hey Chef John. Question about the hot hot hot olive oil. I've always been told that you never heat olive oil past a certain temperature (where it smokes), or it will become carcinogenic. Why didn't you choose ghee or refined coconut oil?
- October 28, 2011 at 4:26 PM
- Chef John said...
I wanted the flavor of olive oil, and I'm not concerned whatsoever about carcinogens. First of all, you add it as soon as you see the first wisp of smoke, you don't let it continue to smoke and burn. Also, the amount of carcinogens from this is probably like 100 times less than a single charbroiled burger or steak. Relax.
- October 28, 2011 at 7:15 PM
Hey Chef, I got an idea as you mentioned the importance of using dry scallops. Could you put them in a salad spinner to dry them more thoroughly?
- November 1, 2011 at 8:14 PM
- Chef John said...
You could, but paper towels work fine.
- November 1, 2011 at 8:37 PM
Hey chef just wanted to say that I'm a HUGE fan of your site! Anyway I was planning on making these tomorrow for dinner but I'm worried that I won't be able to find these small bay scallops in my store. I live in a small town in Indiana and where I live we don't even have a famers market :( do you think I could find them at Marsh?
- November 4, 2011 at 5:12 PM
- Chef John said...
Sorry, not sure what Marsh is! May be tough finding bay scallops in a small town. You can also use small (raw) shrimp if you have to.
- November 4, 2011 at 5:20 PM
Thanks for the reply! Do you cook the shrimp the same? Also, do you think that i could find them at kroger?
- November 4, 2011 at 6:15 PM
UPDATE: I went to my local grocery sotre and they suprisingly did have frozen bay scallops. So I made them for dinner as an appetizer along with a chicken breast I made, your creamed spinach, and your dark chocolate mousse. Needless to say everything was amazing and all of my family loved it! Thanks again for the great recipes! :)

- March 2, 2012 at 3:05 PM
looks amazing i am so gonna try this!! but i was wondering if i could just use big scallops and cut them small-er?
- November 7, 2012 at 3:37 PM
- Chef John said...
Works with any size!
- November 7, 2012 at 3:44 PM
- Tiara D said...
Chef John, you stated that when you want to make this a pasta sauce, to add the scallops at the end, after boiling the cream, but you never have the sauce without the scallops in it. Do you take them out and then add your cream and put them back in?
- March 12, 2014 at 4:54 PM
- Chef John said...
Yes! Add back when sauce is ready.
- March 12, 2014 at 7:48 PM
- Margot H said...
This is a great recipe, I live on Cape Cod and this is how we do it.
If you don't love the toast idea, use little ramekins or those large dumpling spoons for a small portion, then sprinkle a little freshly grated parmigiano reggiano (I KNOW I KNOW JUST TRY IT!) on top and stick those babies under the broiler for a minute.
Thanks for sharing your recipe!

Last year's cinematic offerings gave viewers an array of characters to smile or sneer at. "Toy Story 3," for instance, provided everyone's favorite cowboy with an outlet for valor, while a wretched witch cast spells of fear in "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1."
Here are 10 of the most virtuous and vile characters caught on screen in 2010, chosen by Weekly film critic Tyler Hanley.
Elastic Girl (Julie Ferrier), "Micmacs"
Daring was all in a day's work for the flexible, no-nonsense lass who helped topple a pair of money-hungry weapons dealers.
Hit-Girl (Chloe Moretz), "Kick-Ass"
OK, so this adolescent vigilante had the mouth of a sailor. She also had the moves of a warrior born. Hit-Girl fought through injury, overwhelming odds and emotional trauma for the sake of justice.
Lionel Logue (Geoffrey Rush), "The King's Speech"
Thanks to unwavering guidance from the quirky and likable Logue, King George VI conquered his longstanding stammer just in time to deliver one of the most important speeches in England's history.
Scott Pilgrim (Michael Cera), "Scott Pilgrim vs. The World"
Love equaled bravery for underdog Scott Pilgrim. The geeky gamer protected (and impressed) the woman of his dreams by courageously battling her seven evil exes.
Woody (voice of Tom Hanks), "Toy Story 3"
Woody demonstrated such admirable traits in "Toy Story 3" that it's difficult to list them all: loyalty, courage, generosity, compassion and resolve, to name a few. He staged a daring rescue of his imprisoned pals and brought joy to a vivacious little girl.
Bellatrix Lestrange (Helena Bonham Carter), "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1"
Torture, intimidation and murder were only a few of the trespasses wrought by the cackling and maniacal Lestrange. Her gnarled teeth and knotted hair only accentuated the sinister impression.
Hades (Ralph Fiennes), "Clash of the Titans"
The haunting Hades spoke with a heavy tone and moved on a shroud of thick black smoke. Is it too apropos to include the Greek god of the underworld in a top villains list? Nah.
James Coughlin (Jeremy Renner), "The Town"
Coughlin made a simple Notre Dame "Fighting Irish" tattoo downright intimidating. The trigger-happy Charlestown criminal valued greed and glory well above human life.
Lots-O'-Huggin' Bear (voice of Ned Beatty), "Toy Story 3"
Never has a stuffed pink bear been so sinister. Lots-O's tyrannical reign featured abuse, deceit, kidnapping, threats and, ultimately, cowardice.
Clu (Jeff Bridges), "Tron: Legacy"
A misguided despot is dangerous enough, but Clu's CGI-developed facial expressions made the cloned character come across as cold, inhuman and unsettling. Clu's Hitler-esque machinations included inciting violence, genocide and foreign invasion.

Mandorla: Intersecting Worlds
With a tragedy in Russia, mourners and their florists turn to an old figure of Eastern Orthodox iconography, shaped like a seed.
A Russian Orthodox priest blesses graves outside Krymsk.
Overnight floods in Krymsk, a southern Russia city east of the Black Sea, killed at least 172 people early Sunday morning. There had been no warning, even though authorities later admitted having known by 10 p.m. Saturday that heavy rains threatened to inundate the town.
Some of the survivors (more than 25,000 lost their homes and belongings) say they believe that along with flooded natural waterways, more water was actually released from a reservoir above the city, "a theory rebutted by scientists from Russia's environmental monitoring service, who said Friday's rains swelled nearby rivers with the equivalent of six months' average precipitation."
Recriminations have been mounting. And so have floral tributes to the dead. Thanks to Craig Cramer of Ellis Hollow for alerting us to these striking images taken in a makeshift graveyard outside Krymsk.
A Ukrainian florist advertises various designs for wreaths, most of them variations on the tear-drop form of the mandorla.
How different these sympathy arrangements are from the circular wreaths and sprays we're accustomed to. All morning we've been searching for clues as to their distinctive shape. Egg? Seed? Womb? Teardrop?
After browsing through Russian and Ukrainian florists websites, we're still not certain why this form of tribute is such a consistent floral presence at funerals in the region. We've read that even-numbered flowers are preferred (even required) at times of mourning and that yellow blooms are unwelcome at happy or sad occasions alike.
Having read up on Russian funeral customs and dipped into church symbolism, we've come to think that the massive oval-shaped arrangements follow an iconic shape in Eastern Orthodoxy—the mandorla.
This encapsulating form recurs in Christian imagery, a kind of radiant bubble that surrounds divine figures when they appear to humankind.
One of the earliest such images is this Apse mosaic of the Transfiguration, St. Catherine's Monastery, Mount Sinai, c. 550-565
"The term refers to the almond like shape: "mandorla" means almond nut in Italian. In icons of the Eastern Orthodox Church, the mandorla is used to depict sacred moments which transcend time and space, such as the Resurrection, Transfiguration, and the Dormition of the Theotokos."
In Pythagorean symbolism and pre-Christian art, the mandorla shape was conceived as two intersecting circles, alluding again to a kind of "eclipse," when two different dimensions coalesce; momentarily, there's a keyhole that makes it possible to see a more essential reality than we know in everyday life.
These pendulous wreaths, often fashioned with concentric rings of flower-color, remind us of the luminous cloud around our Lady of Guadalupe, a form that both protects and projects the power residing inside.
A soldier digs a grave outside Krymsk, Russia. More than 170 residents of the town died in early morning floods Sunday July 8.

The intersection of opposites certainly comes through in Sergey Ponomarev's astonishing photo from the Krymsk cemetery. A pale young man (or is it a girl?) shovels inside a grave, a black block surrounded with mud, while on the ground above scores of the bright egg-shaped arrangements lie across fresh gravemounds; all the way to the horizon, they shine back at the sky.

Conceptual Gardening
With design, aesthetics and ecological concerns leading the way, symbolism isn't much of a force in contemporary gardening. But we offer two examples where concept dominates, one noble, the other daffy.
The Zoar garden with its symbolic spruce at the center.
Our first stab at a garden, on High St. in Lexington, Kentucky, was as conceptually ambitious as it was horticulturally shaky. (Aesthetics/design? What are those?)
In a squarish back yard surrounded by a high (inherited) fence, we planned an astrological garden, sectioning the perimeter into 12 beds and designating each to a zodiacal sign, Aries to the East, Cancer to the North, Libra toward the West, and Capricorn on the South. Then we went about finding plants and objects that corresponded to each sign.
Windflowers? In Gemini of course. Zinnias for Leo. A vine of moonflowers under Cancer, etc. At a flea market we came upon a very strange plaster statue: a monkey in a blue nurse's uniform holding a bedpan. Perfect for Virgo!
The astrological garden on High St., Lexington, KY: Leo zinnias and Virgo orderly.
Photo: Human Flower Project
On the evening of the summer solstice, 1997, we invited about thirty friends over and had them stand around the edges of the yard at their proper astrological stations, and beginning with Mimi Pickering (born closest to the spring equinox and thus the "firstborn" of the zodiacal year), each guest announced his or her birthdate as well as a "fairy name."
After we'd all come full around the year, ending with Edward Roberts, born March 17, we planted a redbud tree in the center of the yard, watered by Nina McCormack and Marty Newell, the two Aquarians present.
This very contrived endeavor came to mind recently as we read about a far more serious conceptual garden at the Village of Zoar, Ohio, a town of German Separatists that, some claim, had the first communal society of any European immigrants to the U.S.
The Village of Zoar was named this year as one of the most endangered historical places by the National Trust for Historic Preservation. The entire town—including its garden—may be flooded if the Army Corps of Engineers decides not to rebuild a crumbling levee on the Tuscarawas River.
Zoar Garden circa 1960

The original settlers came to the U.S. in 1817 to escape religious persecution in their homeland. As a reflection of both their faith and their belief in a communal society, the villagers constructed in the center of town a large garden, designed after the book of Revelation, Chapter 21.
James Griffing, a 19th century visitor, wrote: "In the center of the garden stood a Norway spruce representing everlasting life, and around the tree was an arbor vitae hedge symbolizing heaven; This in turn was surrounded by twelve juniper trees; one for each of the apostles… A circular walk enclosed the centrum, and from this twelve other walks representing various paths to heaven radiated to the four sides of the garden. These in turn were intersected by walks which symbolized the worldly ways through which people wander on earth before they find salvation."
How enlightened to recognize that many paths lead to heaven.
Drawing of the Zoar Garden with its radiating path and central spruce, representing Christ.
A more contemporary and horticulturally-minded historian writes, "Although some vegetables and fruits were grown here, the garden was filled mainly with flowers." Is there a plant list anywhere? We haven't found one, but as a former "conceptual gardener" (though a pagan one), we feel certain that as with our Gemini windflowers, the plants the Zoar gardeners chose symbolized some tie to their aspiration and greater design – the New Jerusalem.

Birches at Pentecost
In the Orthodox Church, Holy Trinity (50 days after Easter) is draped with the greenery of birch boughs.
Pentecost 2012, at Saint Nicholas Russian Orthodox Cathedral, Seattle, Washington: the church is decorated with birch branches and flowers in observance of the Holy Spirit's presence.
Photo: Erika Schultz/Seattle Times
In the Protestant denomination of our raising – the Episcopal Church – Pentecost meant an outpouring of red Sunday outfits and searing reference to the apostles' "tongues of fire." In the Eastern Orthodox faith, Pentecost – better known as Trinity Sunday – is green.
The Orthodox clergy wear green vestments shot through with golden threads, and churches are generously festooned with boughs of birch. Clusters of the spring leaves, heart shaped and serrated, stand in windows, adorn pulpits, and surround icons. In some parishes, stems of birch are scattered over the church floors, too. It's as if the Holy Spirit descended not as fire but wind, shredding the trees outside and gusting them into the nave.

Araceli's Flowers on a Seat of Honor
The patron saint of Lucena inspires a distinctive floral outpouring from the faithful of Southern Spain.

Photo: Oracion Año Jubilar
On the first weekend in May, residents of Lucena, Spain, make splendid veneration of their town's patron saint the Virgin of Araceli.
This year the celebration promises to be especially lavish and well attended as it marks a "jubilee," 450 years since the sacred statue came to Lucena from Rome. The town stretches out its season of celebration from April 30 forward (May is the traditional month of Mary), though Saturday May 5 is climactic: the major procession, will involve the formal offerings of flowers to Our Lady, as the statue moves from a shrine on the outskirts of town through the city to the church downtown.
"As usual, the procession will depart from Paseo de Rojas, and conclude in the Parish of San Mateo, which is home to the Lady of Lucena.

Available within 2-5 working days
Matched and Rigged For Your Surroundings
The 90 Series Commercial Loudspeaker's cabinet exterior can be re-painted to match your venue interior and blend in with the environment. Whilst the units are of a strong and rugged nature, the weight is not unmanageable with the top, bottom and rear areas on all models clear for bracket mounting. Apart from the 4190, all models come with U shaped mounting brackets.
Smooth, extended frequency response combines with wide dynamic capabilities and low distortion to provide acoustic performance that makes the unit idea for music playback. The speaker systems also deliver sufficient mid and high end clarity for vocals and speech for public announcements. By using proprietary designed units and modern manufacturing, all the aspects of sound and economics within the commercial market are met: clarity, voice intelligibility, controlled sound coverage, tested reliability and the support of a company with nearly seventy years expertise in sound reproduction are standard.
Traditionally the loudspeaker placement in rooms have been dominated by the needs of stereo reproduction and consequently most positions are a compromise enforced by the directionality of conventional loudspeakers. However, Wharfedale Pro's innovative solution is to use the 'Baker Effect', a phenomenon first noted in the 1930s. By mounting two HF drive units perpendicular to each other, and carefully contouring the crossover network, Wharfedale has been able to reproduce a dramatic stereo effect in almost any listening position

Avalanche hold off Flames, have won 13 of 15by Rick Sadowski
DENVER -- It might have been more difficult than the Colorado Avalanche expected, but they managed to defeat the Calgary Flames 4-2 at Pepsi Center on Friday.
Matt Duchene scored into an empty net with 1.9 seconds to play in the third period to secure the Avalanche's 13th win in 15 games.
The Flames didn't look like a team that played Thursday, or one playing the final game of a four-game road trip that had lost eight of its previous 11.
"Give them a lot of credit," Avalanche coach Patrick Roy said. "It's a team that works really hard. For a back-to-back game I thought they had great legs. They were skating well. At the same time, I thought we played a good game too."
The Avalanche were determined to rebound from a 6-4 loss to the Nashville Predators on Wednesday, when they made more defensive mistakes than in any game this season.
"It's big. That was a big game for us," said goalie Jean-Sebastien Giguere, who made 30 saves Friday, including a tough one in tight against Flames forward Jiri Hudler with 2:35 left in the third period, for his fifth win in as many starts. "After going 12-1 and you lose a game, it would be easy to go into bad habits. We should be pretty happy with this."
The Avalanche built leads of 2-0 and 3-1, but the Flames kept coming back and were within 3-2 on two goals by Mike Cammalleri.
"This League, it's not a feel-good League," Flames coach Bob Hartley said. "Moral victories do not exist, you need to put points on the board."
The Avalanche killed off a Paul Stastny holding penalty that began with 35 seconds remaining in the second period and carried into the third. Giguere made 10 third-period saves, and his teammates blocked six shots to prevent the Flames from tying the score as they buzzed around his net.
"They kind of took it to us for a lot of the game, actually," said Avalanche forward John Mitchell, who gave Colorado a 3-1 lead at 7:16 of the second period with his first goal since the Oct. 2 season opener. "But these are games that we have to learn to win. You're going to get up and you might not deserve to be up, but you have to bend and not break and play smart."
Nathan MacKinnon skated out of the right corner, curled into the faceoff circle and passed to Mitchell above the right hash marks for a shot that sailed by goalie Karri Ramo's glove.
"We had a little bit of offensive-zone pressure and I just tried to find a little quiet area in the slot," Mitchell said. "I was just kind of standing there and [MacKinnon] came around and we made eye contact and he got me the puck. I just tried to get it off as quick as I could."
Cammalleri made it 3-2 at 9:46 with his fourth goal in four games. Hudler got Mikael Backlund's pass behind the Avalanche net, moved to the right side and slipped the puck to Cammalleri for a chip shot behind Giguere.
Cammalleri nearly scored again at 17:37 from in close after he received a pass from Hudler, but Giguere came up with a big stop.
"Our opponent has been rated near the top of the League and is earning a lot of respect around the League, and there's reasons for that," Cammalleri said. "They've performed well, so you can't spot anybody a lead, let alone some of these teams who are playing really well."
Ryan O'Reilly opened the scoring for the Avalanche at 5:31 of the first period with a one-timer from the slot off a pass from PA Parenteau.
The Avalanche made it 2-0 at 1:09 of the second period when Stastny scored during a two-man advantage for his fifth goal in the past five games. David Jones and Backlund were in the penalty box for separate tripping calls when Colorado defenseman Erik Johnson fired a puck off the end boards. It came to Stastny near the right post and he flipped it by Ramo.
The Avalanche went 1-for-15 on power plays in the previous six games.
"It just came to me and I tried to take my time," Stastny said. "I didn't want to rush it."
Cammalleri, who had seven shots, scored his first goal at 6:07, connecting against Giguere from the base of the right circle after taking a pass from Backlund.
Ramo made 23 saves.
"We got another great effort," Hartley said. "I feel sorry for them. We wasted a good effort. A couple of mistakes in our own zone, but we carried the play and we played a pretty solid road game. We had some real bad turnovers that ended up in our net. No one does it on purpose, but it's a game of mistakes."

Could I have pancreatic cancer?
I am a 30yr old female who had my gallbladder removed abt 4 years ago. For the last year I have had pain in the area where the gallstones were before. These past several weeks Ive had the constant pain and burning feeling just like I had when I had my gallbladder removed. Ive had CT scans, x rays, and ultrasounds only to show a slight stenosis of the liver on the ultrasound. The pain gets worse when I eat and never really goes away at this point. Im nauseous and thirsty all the time but I was thinking that was because I have hypothyroidism and have to be on lasix for swelling because of that and potassium because the lasix makes it low. I have been to the Family Dr, and the GI Dr thinks I culd have a gallstone in a duct? Im at my wits end here and getting very impatient with the pain. What should I do? My friend said I needed to have an ERCP or MRCP test done. Will that show what the other test wont?
The likelihood of you having pancreas cancer is extremely low. It is not uncommon to have persistent pain after removal of the gallbladder. Many different causes can be responsible for this pain. If their is evidence of narrowing of your bile duct, the next step should be either a MRCP or ERCP. You can discuss these options with your GI doctor. Sometimes the pain is not related to the gallbladder and it may be as a result of reflux, gastritis and a short course of anti-acid mediations may be helpful. Finally, I would also suggest you get a CT scan to better evaluate this area.

By the afternoon we were still going strong with more engaging and interactive workshops. Shel Holtz, Principal at Holtz Communication and Technology (@shelholtz) discussed the Smartphone revolution and the mobile strategies to consider. Here are just a few tips and best practices Shel shared:
Benefits of both mobile apps and web apps
- Mobile app benefits: greater control & security, less likely to subject to network problems.
- Mobile web benefits: universal (any browser on any phone, no need to configure for anything), searchable, won't get lost in crowd
The difference between web widget and self-contained apps
Going mobile without having to own it, a step often overlooked when deciding on a mobile strategy.
- Geo-location, QR codes, and near field communication (NFC) a chip embedded in anything
Mobile doesn't always need to be external. It can be used internally too.
The other afternoon workshop was presented by Pete Codella, Owner of Codella Marketing (@codella) who disscussed the 17 social media tools PR professionals can use. Here are the top hightlights from the session:

Toward a psychology of being
J. Wiley & Sons, 1999 - Medical - 270 pages
"If we wish to help humans to become more fully human, we must realize not only that they try to realize themselves, but that they are also reluctant or afraid or unable to do so. Only by fully appreciating this dialectic between sickness and health can we help to tip the balance in favor of health." -Abraham Maslow
Abraham Maslow's theories of self-actualization and the hierarchy of human needs are the cornerstone of modern humanistic psychology, and no book so well epitomizes those ideas as his classic Toward a Psychology of Being.
A profound book, an exciting book, its influence continues to spread, more than a quarter century after its author's death, beyond psychology and throughout the humanities, social theory, and business management theory.
Of course, the book's enduring popularity stems from the important questions it raises and the answers it provides concerning what is fundamental to human nature and psychological well-being, and what is needed to promote, maintain, and restore mental and emotional well-being. But its success also has to do with Maslow's unique ability to convey difficult philosophical concepts with passion, precision, and astonishing clarity, and, through the power of his words, to ignite in readers a sense of creative joy and wholeness toward which we, as beings capable of self-actualization, strive.
This Third Edition makes Abraham Maslow's ideas accessible to a new generation of psychology students, as well as businesspeople, managers, and trainers interested in applying the study of human behavior to management techniques.
An energetic and articulate scholar, Professor Maslow was the author of more than twenty books, including Eupsychian Management; Psychology of Science; Religions, Values, and Peak Experiences; Motivation and Personality; and Principles of Abnormal Psychology (with B. Mittelmann). He also edited New Knowledge in Human Values and wrote nearly one hundred articles. His teachings continue to be a staple for psychologists and psychology students.
"Capacities clamor to be used, and cease their clamor only when they are well used. . . . Not only is it fun to use our capacities, but it is necessary for growth. The unused skill or capacity or organ can become a disease center or else atrophy or disappear, thus diminishing the person." -Abraham Maslow
Toward a Psychology of Being, Third Edition
Abraham Maslow doesn't pretend to have easy answers, absolutes, or solutions that bring the relief of finality-but he does have a deep belief in people. In this Third Edition of Toward a Psychology of Being (the original edition sold well over 100,000 copies), there is a constant optimistic thrust toward a future based on the intrinsic values of humanity. Professor Maslow states that, "This inner nature, as much as we know of it so far, seems not to be intrinsically evil, but rather either neutral or positively 'good.' What we call evil behavior appears most often to be a secondary reaction to frustration of this intrinsic nature." He demonstrates that human beings can be loving, noble, and creative, and are capable of pursuing the highest values and aspirations.
This Third Edition will bring Professor Maslow's ideas to a whole new generation of business and psychology readers, as well as anyone interested in the study of human behavior.

SANTA BARBARA, Calif. – UC Santa Barbara had its three-game win streak snapped on Saturday afternoon as it fell to visiting Blue-Green rival Cal Poly, 65-56, in the Thunderdome.
The loss marked the second of the season against the Mustangs. The Gauchos had fallen, 66-47, at Cal Poly on Jan. 19 before proceeding to win five of its next six games.
UCSB falls to 11-13 on the season and to 7-5 in Big West play while Cal Poly improves to 14-9 overall and 8-4 in league.
Senior Sweets Underwood, the reigning Big West Player of the Week, recorded her third consecutive double-double – and tenth of the season – to lead the Gauchos. She put up 15 points, making 5-of-12 attempts from the field and sinking 5-of-7 free-throw attempts. Underwood also had 13 rebounds and two assists.
Senior Angelei Aguirre had 12 points, one-shy of her career-high. Classmate Kirsten Tilleman, meanwhile, was just shy of a double-double with nine points and nine assists. Junior Nicole Nesbit led the team with five assists.
After Cal Poly's Molly Schlemer put up 22 points in the Jan. 19 game, UCSB seemed to still not have a response for the 6-5 center on Saturday afternoon. The junior recorded a double-double with 18 points and 13 rebounds. Kayla Griffin had 15 points and seven rebounds, Ariana Elgado recorded 12 points and Jonae Ervin had 11 assists.
The Gauchos shot 35.1% (20-of-57) from the floor and 71.4% from the free-throw line (15-of-21). Cal Poly shot 45.3% (24-of-53) from the floor, made 8-of-17 three-pointers (47.1%) and sunk 9-of-14 (64.3%) from the charity stripe. UCSB was out-rebounded 38-34. After committing nine turnovers in the first half, the Gauchos did not tally any more in the second stanza.
Cal Poly's Ervin opened the game with a steal and a fastbreak layup to put the Mustangs on the board first. Underwood countered with a layup of her own to tie the game. Cal Poly then proceeded to break the tie with a 16-0 run as the Gauchos missed their next eight shots.
The Mustangs brought their lead to a game-high 17 points at 21-4 with 9:53 remaining in the first half following a three-pointer from Elegado. The Gauchos were able to go on an 11-4 run over the ensuing five minutes to cut their deficit to 10 at 25-15. The Mustangs then pushed their lead back to 14, but four straight points by Destini Mason put the Gauchos back within 10 at halftime, 33-23.
Melissa Zornig hit a three to open the second half, cutting the Mustang lead to single digits for the first time since the opening six minutes of the game. Cal Poly was able to build its lead back up to 17 points with 13:18 to go when Griffin hit a three-pointer.
The double figure lead held until the Gauchos went on an 8-0 run to whittle their deficit to 53-46 with 6:07 to go. While UCSB kept attempting to chip away, the Mustangs were able to hold the Gauchos at bay as they secured the 65-56 win.
Saturday's game served as UCSB's annual Play 4Kay game to help raise breast cancer awareness. The 2013 Play 4Kay initiative (formerly known as WBCA Pink Zone) is an opportunity for a nation of coaches to raise breast cancer awareness and funds for research on the court, across campuses, in communities and beyond. Since its inception in 2007, the Play 4Kay initiative has raised over $2 million to support women's cancer research. The Kay Yow Cancer Fund is the official charity of the initiative.
UCSB will remain at home next week to host Hawai'i on Thursday, Feb. 21 at 7 p.m. and Cal State Northridge on Saturday, Feb. 23 at 2 p.m. Both games will be broadcast live on KZSB 1290 AM, the Santa Barbara News-Press radio station. The games will also air on UCSBgauchos.com and a live video stream is available on Big West.tv.
Tickets are available by visiting the Ticket Office in the Intercollegiate Athletics Building on campus, by calling (805) 893-UCSB or by clicking here.

After a week of fierce debate between opposing interests, the state Senate on Thursday approved a proposal to raise gas taxes and vehicle fees by $5.2 billion per year to pay for the repair of California's pothole-ridden, decaying system of roads, highways and bridges.
The plan was forcefully pushed by Gov. Jerry Brown as a necessary response to 23 years without a gas tax increase, which has resulted in a backlog of $130 billion in repair and replacement projects throughout the state.
The governor and legislative leaders ended up giving nearly $1 billion to specific transportation projects in the districts of legislators who had been on the fence before voting for Senate Bill 1.
It's been an unprecedented 100 days. And perhaps no state in the nation has reacted more strongly to the administration of President Trump than California.
This week's podcast is a special episode taped at the recent Los Angeles Times Festival of Books. Our topic was the view of the Trump era from California, a glimpse at how the state's political compass has been reset as the president's agenda unfolds.
I'm joined by a special panel of Los Angeles Times political writers: Mark Barabak, Seema Mehta, Liam Dillon and Melanie Mason.
California's most important month for collecting income taxes could end some $600 million short of official projections, based on preliminary data collected Friday.
The independent Legislative Analyst's Office reported that personal income tax collections stood at $13.45 billion, with a final day of tax refunds to be reported on Monday. By comparison, Gov. Jerry Brown's proposed budget assumed the month would net $14 billion for state budget coffers.
April is historically a key month for taxes paid by Californians, bringing in a larger share of the revenues used to run the state government than any other part of the year.
Antonio Villaraigosa argued Friday that he is best suited to be California's next governor because he had been tested when he was Los Angeles' mayor during the recession, and had proven that he could make politically unpopular decisions in the best interests of the people.
"Look at the track record. I've not been afraid to take on my friends. I've not been afraid to say no," Villaraigosa told a couple hundred people at a luncheon at an automotive school in Rancho Cucamonga. He noted that he furloughed 37,000 city employees and laid off 1,000 workers during the recession to stave off bankruptcy, and challenged the city's school district and teachers union because he believed they were failing students.
"I took on those interests even though they were probably the most important group that got me elected. I made tough calls," he said. "I think the next governor is going to have to make tough calls."
The Brown administration on Friday released draft regulations for the sale and use of medical marijuana in California, beginning a process that is likely to see changes sought by some in the industry, law enforcement and state legislators.
For instance, the Legislature has to determine how to merge the rules for medical pot with regulations approved by the voters in November legalizing the sale of recreational cannabis.
"The broad objectives of these proposed regulations are to create a state licensed and regulated commercial cannabis market," the rules said. "The specific benefits anticipated are increased protection of the public and the environment from the harms associated with an unregulated commercial cannabis market."
California Atty. Gen. Xavier Becerra said Friday he is prepared to fight any attempt to expand oil drilling off the California coast despite an order signed by President Trump calling for a study of new oil and natural gas exploration.
"We will vigorously oppose new drilling off the shores of our coast," Becerra said in a statement. "California is leading the way in clean energy production and policies that preserve our state's pristine natural resources. Instead of taking us backwards, the federal government should work with us to advance the clean energy economy that's creating jobs, providing energy and preserving California's natural beauty."
See the Los Angeles Times coverage of the new order here.
A group of nine state lawmakers on Thursday introduced a bill that would seek to improve representation of people of color on the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors by expanding it from five to seven members and creating a position of an elected county executive.
State Sen. Tony Mendoza (D-Artesia) is the lead author on the legislation that would put the matter of changing the state Constitution to a vote on the California ballot in June 2018.
"Counties with millions of residents deserve a government that is responsive, transparent and accountable," Mendoza said Thursday. "By expanding representation and creating a professional management position, we address multiple issues and will actively improve local government for all Californians."
Nearly two-thirds of the 14 Republicans in the California congressional delegation are still reviewing changes to the GOP healthcare plan, and only four have taken a firm position on it.
In the latest version of the healthcare bill, Republicans are considering an amendment designed to win over the most conservative members of their majority by giving states the option of doing away with the so-called essential health benefits that Obamacare requires insurers to cover. The previous version of the bill was pulled off the House floor before a vote was held.
The undecideds include Reps. Steve Knight (Palmdale), Darrell Issa (Vista), Dana Rohrabacher (Costa Mesa), Ken Calvert (Corona), Paul Cook (Yucca Valley), Doug LaMalfa (Richvale), Ed Royce (Fullerton) and David Valadao (Hanford), according to their staffs and media reports.
A poorly run nonprofit group that has received state funds to help small businesses get loans is in danger of becoming insolvent next year unless it gets more money, but the state should not provide funding without reforms, a state audit concluded Thursday.
The report by State Auditor Elaine Howle said the State Assistance Fund for Enterprise, Business and Industrial Development Corporation (SAFE‑BIDCO) has done some good helping businesses.
But it has not attempted to obtain more money from fundraising, and has imprudently spent limited funds on "questionable activities," including 16 out-of-state trips and a trip to Ireland by its chief executives, the audit said.
A sweeping measure that would establish government-run universal healthcare in California cleared its first legislative hurdle on Wednesday, as scores of supporters crammed into the state Capitol to advocate for a single-payer system.
The Senate Health Committee approved the measure on a 5-2 vote after a nearly three-hour hearing, but Democrats and Republicans alike signaled unease with the major question still unanswered in the legislation: how the program would be paid for.
The bill, SB 562, would establish a publicly run healthcare plan that would cover everyone living in California, including those without legal immigration status. The proposal would drastically reduce the role of insurance companies: The state would pay for all medical expenses, including inpatient, outpatient, emergency services, dental, vision, mental health and nursing home care.

I have a homework problem where I need to prove that a continuous function $f:\mathbb R\to \mathbb R$ is injective if and only if it has no extrema (local or global).
So far what I have is:
We'll assume that $f$ is injective and assume that it has an extrema, $(x_{0}, f(x_{0}))$. Since $x_0$ is an extrema, there is a neighborhood of $x_0$ such that for each $x$ in the neighborhood, $f(x)\leq f(x_0)$ or $f(x)\geq f(x_0)$. This is where I got stuck. Intuitively I understand that that on each side of $x_0$, there have to be two points whose values are the same, which contradicts the assumption that $f$ is injective - I'm having extreme difficulty proving it, though.
If we assume that $f$ has no extrema, then I've tried to show that it is also a strictly monotonic function, but I'm having difficulty proving this as well.
I'd appreciate any help.

27 Down, 38 To Go…Posted by rtmsf on March 14th, 2009
There are twelve automatic bids today, so we'll be updating these as the day moves forward…
#16 – Binghamton (23-8, 16-3 Am East). Binghamton took care of business today against upstart UMBC to win their eleventh in a row and earn the school's first ever NCAA bid. Reggie Fuller had 19/10 and alleged non-POY DJ Rivera added 16/5 in the RTC home win. We had more coverage on today's BGTD.
Projected Seed: #16
Something to Remember: Binghamton is um, size-challenged. Their tallest starter is the 6'6 Fuller. And have you heard that Tony Kornheiser has an affinity for this school for some reason? Yeah, we hadn't either.
#17 – Memphis (31-3, 19-0 CUSA). 25 straight wins in a row. 61 CUSA wins in row. Memphis just keeps on truckin', with another stellar defensive performance in holding Tulsa to 26% from the field and 2-14 from three. This was also the 135th win for the Tiger senior class, who is focused on getting to #141, according to Coach Calipari. Robert Dozier had 18/14 and Tyreke Evans had 18/5/6 in the same-old, same-old for Memphis.
Projected Seed: #2
STR: We're going to be a little contrarian here, but we're not buying that Memphis is a national title contender this year. Are they better than anticipated? Absolutely. Are they on the same level as UConn, Pitt, Louisville, UNC, etc.? No freakin' way. Their defense is outstanding, statistically the very best in the land. And CUSA is a better league than people tend to think it is. But the fact of the matter here is that Memphis is playing with house money right now. They were beaten by Georgetown, Xavier and Syracuse in the pre-conference slate. Tennessee took them down to the last possession. They rolled up Gonzaga in their building, but the Zags wilted in the face of their athletic defenders. Memphis is a very good team – but they're not going back to the F4. Remember that you heard it here first.

Journey through genius: the great theorems of mathematics
Wiley, Mar 30, 1990 - Biography & Autobiography - 300 pages
Praise for William Dunham s Journey Through Genius The Great Theorems of Mathematics "Dunham deftly guides the reader through the verbal and logical intricacies of major mathematical questions and proofs, conveying a splendid sense of how the greatest mathematicians from ancient to modern times presented their arguments." Ivars Peterson Author, The Mathematical Tourist Mathematics and Physics Editor, Science News
"It is mathematics presented as a series of works of art; a fascinating lingering over individual examples of ingenuity and insight. It is mathematics by lightning flash." Isaac Asimov
"It is a captivating collection of essays of major mathematical achievements brought to life by the personal and historical anecdotes which the author has skillfully woven into the text. This is a book which should find its place on the bookshelf of anyone interested in science and the scientists who create it." R. L. Graham, AT&T Bell Laboratories
"Come on a time-machine tour through 2,300 years in which Dunham drops in on some of the greatest mathematicians in history. Almost as if we chat over tea and crumpets, we get to know them and their ideas ideas that ring with eternity and that offer glimpses into the often veiled beauty of mathematics and logic. And all the while we marvel, hoping that the tour will not stop." Jearl Walker, Physics Department, Cleveland State University Author of The Flying Circus of Physics
