Brittney Brimmage posted a career-best 12 kills while hitting .385.
Sept. 5, 2009
OREM, Utah - Four Tigers posted double-digit kills as the Mizzou volleyball team topped Utah Valley 3-1 (25-20, 16-25, 25-21, 25-23) in the fourth match of the Utah Valley La Quinta Invitational at the Shurian Family Activity Center on Saturday (Sept. 5). The Tigers will play No. 17 Utah at 5:30 p.m. (CT) in their final match of the invitational.
"I thought we did a really nice job of recovering from last night and it was a total team effort today," head coach Wayne Kreklow said. "I think after last night, we regrouped a little and became more focused and I thought it showed today. We showed the ability to battle back when we got down as well and we played the way that I expect this team to play."
Junior Julianna Klein (Keota, Iowa) led all Tiger attackers with 16 kills while hitting .286 while Rosa Medrano (Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic) added 15 as the pair dominated the left side of the net throughout the match. The middle hitter spot was also a key position for the Tigers as Brittney Brimmage (East St. Louis, Ill.) and Catie Wilson (Omaha, Neb.) combined for 23 kills, totaling 12 and 11, respectively. Brimmage's 12 kills are a career-best. The pair also accounted for seven blocks in the Tiger win. Those four players combined to tally 55 of the team's 70 kills and hit .360 to pace Mizzou.
The Tigers, who were sluggish during yesterday's match, got off to a quick start against the host Wolverines as they were able to build a 3-1 lead early in the first frame. Sophomore defensive specialist Priscilla Armendariz (Blue Springs, Mo.) kept several rallies alive for the Tigers in the early going and the Mizzou attackers were able capitalize. The teams traded blows from there until the score was knotted at 10. From that point, the Tiger service kept UVU out of system as Mizzou took advantage of several overpasses to build a 13-10 lead, highlighted by a pair of kills from Wilson. In fact, Wilson posted four kills on five attacks during that span.
The Wolverines clawed back into the set after a timeout as they pulled within one at 13-12. But a solo block from senior setter Lei Wang-Francisco (Shanghai, China) put the Tigers back up by two at 14-12. The block also seemed to seize the momentum for the Tigers. After a long rally that ended with a kill from Julianna Klein (Keota, Iowa), the Tigers found themselves on top, 16-13.
From there, Wilson, Klein and Medrano helped Mizzou build a 21-17 lead as the trio accounted for 11 of the Tigers' 13 kills at that point. Mizzou kept the pressure on and closed the set with a kill from Klein as it would claim the first frame, 25-20.
Wilson paced all attackers in the first, posting seven kills while hitting .455 while Klein added four kills on eight errorless attacks. Medrano was next best on the team with three kills while Wang-Francisco and Amanda Hantouli (Omaha, Neb.) each added a kill. Libero Caitlyn Vann (Muncie, Ind.) finished with a team-high five digs as the Tiger back row collected 12 in the set. Mizzou hit .364 in the first in comparison to UVU's .185.
Mizzou continued its efficient attack in the second set as the team did not commit an attack error on its first 19 attempts of the set. Despite the errorless attack and a .415 match hitting percentage, Mizzou still found itself down 16-13. From there, the Tigers struggled to find their stride as UVU rallied behind its hometown crowd and finished the set on a 9-3 run, winning 25-16 and knotting the match heading into intermission.
Despite hitting .300 in the set, highlighted by five errorless kills from Brimmage, the Tigers struggled to slow the Wolverine attack as UVU hit .423 in the frame. The two teams combined to commit only 16 errors in the first two sets as both were hitting better than .300 as they headed to the locker room.
With the score at 7-5 in the third, the longest rally of the match came that saw plenty of athletic plays - in particular from Annie Lopez (St. Louis, Mo.) and Vann - to keep the point alive. Ultimately, a kill from Klein ended the rally and pulled Mizzou within one. Even more importantly, that rally gave Mizzou some much-needed momentum. That point sparked a 7-3 Tiger run which culminated in a kill from Wilson that gave Mizzou a 12-10 edge. The third set continued to see plenty of exciting rallies as the teams traded points, but that two-point lead stayed intact, forcing a UVU timeout at 18-16. The Tigers would hold that lead and the set ended after Wang-Francisco dumped on two to catch the Wolverines napping, earning Mizzou the set, 25-21.
The eye-catching stat of the third set was that Mizzou had 21 kills in the third set while hitting .354 while Wang-Francisco handed out 16 assists on those 21 kills. Both Medrano and Klein each posted five kills in the set while Wilson and Paola Ampudia (Cali, Colombia) pitched in three apiece. Through three sets, Wilson, Medrano and Klein all had 11 kills while Brimmage had seven. The Tiger back row was also impressive in the third, posting 22 digs as Vann and Armendariz each collected five.
The fourth set was also closely-contested in the early stages until and ace from Wang-Francisco and block from Ampudia on back-to-back plays gave Mizzou a 13-11 advantage. The back-and-forth play continued from there as each team seemed to battle for every point. But Utah Valley once again rode the momentum of the crowd to find itself on top, 22-21, late in the set.
Things got even more exciting from that point as a net violation from UVU evened the score at 22. After the teams traded points, Medrano posted a solo block to give Mizzou a one-point edge at 24-23. From there, Medrano would earn the final kill of the match off of a ball that struck the rafters, giving Mizzou the set, 25-23, and the match.
Aside from the four Tiger attackers that finished in double-digits, Ampudia finished with seven kills in the match while hitting .400. Wang-Francisco added four kills and handed out a season-best 51 helpers while adding seven digs. Vann led the Tigers with 17 digs while Armendariz pitched in 14 as the Tigers had 56 as a team. Mizzou also had 11.0 total blocks in the match, highlighted by five solo blocks, two of which belonged to Wilson. Brimmage also pitched in three block assists.
Mizzou will return to the floor at 5:30 p.m. (CT) to face No. 17 Utah. For a complete recap of that match, stay tuned to www.MUTigers.com.

Limited capacity at London's Heathrow Airport costs the U.K. as much as 14 billion pounds ($22.2 billion) a year in lost trade as other European hubs boost connections to growing economies like China and Peru, the airport operator said.
Twenty-six emerging market destinations are connected with daily flights to other European cities, Heathrow Airport Ltd. said in a report released today in partnership with consultant Frontier Economics. Among destinations lacking links are Chengdu and Hangzhou in China, Manila and Lima.
The U.K. needs a single hub airport to maximize the nation's connectivity and boost economic growth, Heathrow Chief Executive Officer Colin Matthews told reporters in London. The government must either increase capacity at Heathrow, Europe's largest hub, or build a new hub airport, the executive said. The trade gap could almost double to 26 billion pounds by 2030 if nothing is done to improve the country's air transport links, according to the report.
London's airports are suffering a capacity squeeze, with Gatwick and Heathrow close to full as Boris Johnson, the city's mayor, pledges to block any expansion in favor of a new hub in the Thames Estuary. Prime Minister David Cameron, who decided in 2010 not to sanction a third Heathrow runway, ordered an inquiry into capacity requirements that's due to report after the next U.K. election in 2015.
Runway Capacity
The airport attracted 69.4 million passengers in 2011 and is operating close to the capacity of its two runways, with 480,000 flights annually. Unable to add new routes without cutting links to existing destinations, the hub is losing traffic to Paris and Frankfurt, which both have enough runway capacity to serve about 700,000 flights a year. More than 1,500 flights are flown to mainland China's three largest cities out of Paris and Frankfurt than from Heathrow, Matthews said.
Heathrow also needs to add capacity to accommodate new links, while maintaining existing connections that wouldn't be lucrative from other airports, Matthews said. The hub connects to 75 long-haul destinations that are not served and would not be served by any other airport in the U.K., he said. By operating through Heathrow, airlines are able to pool travelers willing to pay a premium to fly direct with transfer passengers looking for cheaper fares, he said. Daily direct long-haul flights to destinations like Hyderabad, India, or Mexico City would be uneconomic without transfer traffic, he added.

Big round fire ball
The sun had started to set. I watched as the sun, like a big round fire ball, slowly sank into the ocean. There was a small amount of haze, or smog, reflecting the light just so, to create a thin layer above the water all red and purple and orange. It spread as far as you could see in both directions.
"Pretty," Mathew said coming up behind me.
He was close enough I could feel the electricity between us, I breathed in deeply, smelling him. Why did I never tire of that?
"Thank you," I said.
"I meant the sunset, but you too," he chuckled.

Ryan took me out to breakfast the next morning at Mount Air Café, a diner that had been around forever. We were up and showered before anyone else in the house was awake. When we left I could see some of Pat's friends were asleep on the couches, and the house was a mess. I was sure Pat would question why Ryan's van was at the house. I sat picking at my undercooked eggs while Ryan ate his pancakes. I felt like I needed to explain myself. How I could crawl into bed with him when we both knew I was going back to Max.

Drama queen
"Don't be a fucking drama queen Morgan," he said.
I didn't move. I looked away from him staring instead at the ceiling. I felt hurt, angry, and prideful all at the same time. I finally got up from the floor.
"You can be the biggest asshole sometimes," I said heading for the door.
"Show me your tits," he said.
I froze and let his words register. Without thinking I swung around lifting up my shirt and bra and flashed him.
"There you go," I said letting him get a good look at my boobs.

Smell of change
She could still picture herself in the passenger seat next to her mother, barely able to look over the dashboard. The smell of her mother's perfume mixed with the smell of the leather seats filled her nostrils, the smell of change. To this day she couldn't imagine what her mother ever saw in her father. She could not imagine them ever being happy together, enough to get married, enough for her mother to have sex with him and make a baby. The thought made her shiver.

I could tell he was tired of my pensive sadness.
"I don't want to," I said.
"Why?" he asked.
"Cause it's over. It was over before, but now it's really over," I said.
"If you love him, why is it over?" he asked.
I watched the sun sink lower in the sky throwing a bright line of light across the ocean at us. I didn't answer him.

Thirty hotels will be rated this year, the Rwanda Development Board (RBD) has said.
The exercise, by the board's tourism department, is one of the measures aimed at ensuring that local hotels meet regional and international standards to improve service delivery in the hospitality industry.
"We are currently examining particular hotels that qualify for this year's rating, considering their facilities and quality of services offered," said Emmanuel Werabe, the RDB tourism and quality assurance head.
Other parameters include safety, environment and hygiene standards. Rwandan hotels were operating without any rating until 2011, when RDB came up with the initiative that saw 31 hotels rated that year.
This saw Serena Kigali Hotel and Dubai World Nyungwe Forest Lodge rated as five-star hospitality establishments. Lake Kivu Serena, Hotel Mille Collines, Lemigo Hotel and The Manor Hotel were rated as four star hotels.
RDB said the second, rating slated to take place in May, would be based on the East African standard certifications.
"What we want is to improve on what our hotels are currently doing, but this has to go hand in hand with improving the standards of our hotels if the hospitality industry is to develop," he said.
Werabe noted that hotels that will be rated in May are those that did not get a chance to be rated for not qualifying among other reasons. They include Orange Courts and Umubano Hotel, both in Kigali. The hotels were not rated because they were upgrading their facilities at the time.
Hotels which were rated in 2011 will be ranked again at the end of this year. RDB officials said those that will not meet standards would have their status downgraded.
Dennis Karera, the Rwanda Hotel and Restaurant Association chairman, recently called on RDB to consider only hotels which have subscribed to the association in the forthcoming rating.
Hoteliers have largely ignored the association. For a hotel to join the association, it pays Rwf100, 000 membership fee and an annual subscription charges.
A five-star hotel pays Rwf1.5m.
The records that this paper obtained showed that out of the 247 hotels that had been identified, only 30 had joined the association.

Winter: Five Windows on the Season
Quercus Publishing, Nov 8, 2012 - Literary Collections - 288 pages
Winter takes us on an intimate tour of the artists, poets, composers, writers, explorers, scientists and thinkers who helped shape a new and modern idea of winter. We learn how literature heralds the arrival of the middle class; how snow science leads to existential questions of God and our place in the world; how the race to the poles marks the human drive to imprint meaning on a blank space.
Offering a kaleidoscopic take on the season, Winter is a homage to an idea of a season and a journey through the modern imagination.

About POGO's Federal Contractor Misconduct Database (FCMD)
The government awards contracts to companies with histories of misconduct such as contract fraud and environmental, ethics, and labor violations. In the absence of a centralized federal database listing instances of misconduct, the Project On Government Oversight (POGO) is providing such data. We believe that it will lead to improved contracting decisions and public access to information about how the government spends hundreds of billions of taxpayer money each year on goods and services.

Think that most women in your family tree were housewives? Guess, again. While we tend to believe that women's work was relegated solely to the home, even our female ancestors had the unenviable job of multi-tasking. If your ancestor was not well-off, then most likely they had to work, even if it was helping out in a family business. "A Dictionary of Female Occupations" looks at occupations women held in England from 1840 to 1950. While some of the jobs listed will be familiar such as nurse or domestic servant (those fans of TV's Downton Abbey can bone up on all the different nuances the term "servant" includes); others will be surprising such as fur pullers and miners.
The author's introduction states that this book "sets out to demonstrate the range and diversity of women's work spanning the last two centuries . . . and to suggest ways of finding out more about what often seems to be a 'hidden history'." I love how this work not only describes the history of an occupation but also provides resources for learning more about the occupation and in some cases where the records exist.
This book takes an encyclopedic approach to its articles with short descriptions of 300 occupations that include hints regarding where to find documents to research. In some cases certain careers can have multiple entries describing all of the nuances that have existed, including various titles during war time. I was surprised by how many of the occupations were unfamiliar to me but were obviously a product of their time. One such occupation was Aerated Water Bottler. This job required protective gear for the face and arms as the women filled glass bottles with aerated water. In a period article labeling this job one of the most dangerous, it explained that removing the filled bottle from the machine posed the greatest danger. A short history of the job teaches the reader that carbonated drinks, available since the 18th century, were popular in the Victorian period especially as an alternative to alcohol.
I enjoyed this work very much and found myself wishing that there were more like it for American women. This dictionary provides researchers with some much needed social history that can enhance your research when you realize all the different types of sources that are available. While it is meant to be a reference work, I read it like a novel and enjoyed learning more about English women's occupational history.
Curious what a fur puller was? Well, probably not surprisingly it involved "pulling the fir off rabbit skins-getting the loose down off with a blunt knife so that the fur could be used to line cloaks and jackets, the down in stuffing beds and pillows." Fur puller was an occupation for women in the 19th and early 20th centuries and also could include preparing other parts of the rabbit.

iFrogz Caliber Gives Gamers A New Grip On Mobile Gaming (Video)
I don't game very much at all on my mobile devices and I'm what you call a hardcore gamer. I've seen many cool games on iOS and the Android platform.

But how about an add-on that preserved the traditional handheld experience without occluding your beautiful touch screen?
Enter iFrogs, stage left, and their Caliber gaming peripheral. The Caliber adds a protective case with slide-out controllers to your iPhone. When extended your new controls include 2-thumb sticks, a D-pad and a quartet of familiar button. The controller can even sync to your iPhone via Bluetooth and sports its own lithium battery.
Product Specs:
- Bluetooth connectivity.
- Slide-out dual game controls (right & left)

SAN FRANCISCO—The business revitalization model Community Benefit District has been good for neighborhoods, a recently released study by the city has shown. CBD neighborhoods have been found cleaner, safer, and more economically vital.
Community Benefit District (CDB) is a public-private partnership program where a community chooses to make a collective contribution for the improvement of their neighborhood. The property and business owners of an area vote to establish a CDB, which needs approval by the city.
"CBDs provide a critical service to neighborhoods in terms of cleaning, improving public safety, [and] rethinking how we use public spaces in ways that they could be better," said Supervisor Scott Wiener from District 8, where two CBDs are located, on Feb. 11 at an event in Noe Valley.
The CDB ensures regular funds, paid by the property owners, for street cleaning and maintenance, security, and the beautification of the streets—like installation of benches and greenery. Additionally, many CBDs work to attract businesses, and offer community-building events.
There are currently 11 locally managed CBDs in the city, a model that has quickly grown in popularity since 2005. They range in size between 20 and 1550 properties, have been in operation between two and 14 years, and are located in the commercial corridors of various neighborhoods between Noe Valley and Fisherman's Wharf.
It gives them ownership. It gives them pride. It gives them a great sense of belonging.
—Debra Niemann, executive director, Noe Valley Association
The Office of Economic Workforce Development impact analysis found that "on average, CBDs/BIDs outperformed citywide trends on the majority of studied indicators, including public realm cleanliness, public safety, and economic resiliency."
Additionally, the report discovered that the CBDs remained largely unaffected by the 2007-2009 economic recession.
The analysis has counted 337 street trees planted, 25 public open spaces created, and 36 pieces of public art installed. Parklets are a common and popular sight in CBD neighborhoods.
Debra Niemann, executive director of the Noe Valley Association, stressed the qualitative aspects CBDs can bring to a neighborhood.
"It's more than just planting trees, or putting out a park bench, or changing the street scape, or doing a parklet. The real magic of CBD happens because … it changes the feeling people have about their neighborhood. It gives them ownership. It gives them pride. It gives them a great sense of belonging."
Board of Supervisor President David Chiu announced Monday three new CBDs that are being planned in his district along Broadway, Polk Street and in the Financial District along the Embarcadero.
"The goal for all of us … are working to make sure that San Francisco has the most amazing gems of neighborhoods for entire world and certainly for our city to enjoy and explore," Chiu said.

Ballmer isn't a design guru, nor is he a design professional; his job is to run the company and make decisions about what happens in the company. He obviously had faith in the professionals he hired to design a brilliant product, and he probably would have checked out the design throughout the development process and been happy with it. The article says he provided the team with no guidance or direction; it doesn't say he wasn't in on deciding "yes" or "no" to proposals from his team. The former is not his job; however, making decisions for the company is his job.
It says Ballmer provided the team no guidance or direction on the UI and met the UX people just once or twice! No wonder.

Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has said more could be done to reach out to the Boko Haram sect to find out what leads it to carry out acts of violence.
In an interview with American television network CNN yesterday, Obasanjo suggested the Federal Government should adopt a dual-track approach rather than just cracking down on the group.
"To deal with a group like that, you need a carrot and stick. The carrot is finding out how to reach out to them," he said.
"When you try to reach out to them and they are not amenable to being reached out to, you have to use the stick."
But Obasanjo said President Goodluck Jonathan was "just using the stick" in his efforts.
"He's doing one aspect of it well, but the other aspect must not be forgotten," he said.
Obasanjo has previously spoken in favour of the carrot and stick approach to Boko Haram, and in a BBC interview in September, he said he "believed the authorities are now adopting" this method.
His interview with CNN yesterday was the first time the former president publicly said Jonathan is not using the "carrot" option in solving the Boko Haram issue.
President Jonathan has repeatedly said government was willing to dialogue with Boko Haram but that the sect leaders needed to come out in the open first.
Analysts suggest that reaching out to Boko Haram may be increasingly difficult because the group has split into different factions.
Obasanjo said he had tried to reach out to the sect about a year and a half ago through a lawyer who was acting as the group's proxy, and had asked if they had external backing.
The lawyer told him that the group was receiving support from other Nigerians who have resources overseas or "other organizations from abroad," Obasanjo said.
"If they had 25% support a year and a half ago, today that support has doubled," the former president said.
Resolving the Boko Haram issue is key to Nigeria's progress, according to Obasanjo, who now heads an eponymous foundation that is working to promote human security across Africa.
"Boko Haram undermines security, and anything that undermines security undermines development, undermines education, undermines health, undermines agriculture and food and nutrition security," he said.
Boko Haram has claimed responsibility for numerous deadly attacks on mosques, churches and businesses in parts of the North in the past three years.
The attacks on mosques and churches are believed to be intended to incite tensions between the two religious groups, hoping to drive a wedge between them.
However, despite the ongoing challenges the country faces, Obasanjo said he does not foresee Nigeria ever splitting in two, into north and south.
"We in Nigeria now know that it would cost us much more to break up than it will cost us to come together," he said.
In the BBC interview in September, Obasanjo said bad leadership contributed in propping up the Boko Haram sect.
He said "inadequate education in the North...inadequate employment opportunities in the country, all that are part of what, if you like, is remote cause of Boko Haram as far as I am concerned."
He said the sect's stated objective of imposing Sharia law on Nigeria will never work because of the religious diversity of the population.
"Those who are on the other side, Boko Haram, and those who believe in their cause or waiting for their cause, know that it is not the war that they can win," he had said.
In November, Obasanjo also spoke on the need to forcefully tackle the insurgency, saying his successors did not face the Boko Haram issue like he did with the Odi killing of soldiers in 1999.
Speaking in Warri, Delta State at an event in honour of the Christian Association of Nigeria president Ayo Oritsejafor, Obasanjo said, "My fear is that when you have a sore and you don't attend to it early enough, it festers and becomes very bad. Don't leave a problem that can be bad unattended."
Referring to the Odi crisis of 1999, he added: "I attended to a problem that I saw; I sent soldiers. They were killed, 19 of them decapitated. If I had allowed that to continue, I would not have the authority to send security anywhere again. I attended to it.... If you say you do not want a strong leader, who can have all the characteristics of a leader, including the fear of God, then, you have a weak leader and the rest of the problem is yours."

Do you think wearing on-body cameras on duty should be mandatory?
The majority of officer-involved shootings occur in low-light or dark conditions. So one of the most important tools that you can have is a good light. And sometimes the best place for you to have that good light is on the business end of your handgun or long gun.

Auckland Fringe 2013
By Ben Anderson
presented by The People Who Play With Theatre
at Q Theatre, The Vault, Auckland
From 28 Feb 2013 to 9 Mar 2013
Reviewed by Kathryn van Beek, 1 Mar 2013
If you only have time to see one Fringe Festival show this season, Just Above The Clouds by Ben Anderson might be the one. The endearing show is everything fringe theatre should be. Sometimes poignant, sometimes confusing, always whimsical, Just Above The Clouds explores the wasteland of love lost with a talented ensemble cast.
The story follows the tale of Boy (Seamus Ford) who joins forces with Girl (Jessie McCall) to shatter his concrete heart. The heart is imposingly manifest on stage and is chipped away at throughout the show with a pick axe. The niggles in Boy and Girl's relationship are perfectly illustrated in a discussion about the differences between turtles and tortoises. However the real underlying problems between them transcend even mortality.
Boy finds an unlikely ally in the menacing Cloud, played with great gusto by Chye-Ling Huang. Huang has a real talent for physical theatre and her comic timing is impeccable. She even pulls off Cloud's terrible puns ("did I just say that out cloud?").
The play is billed as a puppet show, but it's more a play featuring puppets. The actors are never hidden and always have their feet, hands and faces on display. This same aesthetic applies to set changes which are accentuated rather than hidden.
Fanciful props and physical theatre add depth and wonder to the myth-like tale. In one memorable scene the cast take us from sunset to night with yellow and orange boxes that are flipped to reveal dark blue tones. A river gurgling as it carries car parts and litter downstream is another triumph of the imagination.
Structurally, the story bounces back and forward through time. A more linear composition might have helped the tension build to greater heights. However the untethered structure does reflect the dreamlike nature of the piece and provides yet another watery motif.
With a bittersweet story, inspired theatrical flourishes and plenty to dissect at Q Bar afterwards, Just Above The Clouds deserves to be circled in red in your Fringe programme.

For the love of quirky, outta-left-field recipes, how cute are these?!
I saw them on Foodbuzz the other day and immediately pulled a Veruca Salt. I had to have them.
Of all the fruits stocked in our kitchen over the course of the year, apples are probably the only constant. I eat them daily, pausing for an afternoon snack or subsiding hunger pangs right before bed. (I have, on several consumingly hot summer days, been known to eat three apples a day, substituting heavy meals with filling fruits. Debatably healthy, I know.) Also, I really like pie, or dessert in general.
How convenient, then for this recipe to be painstakingly simple? The original recipe only baked the crust and apple filling—tossing the final product in a cored and hollowed Granny Smith. The thought of putting baked apple in a raw apple seemed particularly unappealing. And so, instead, I baked the apples as well, tossing them alongside the cupcake tray, upside down on a pan of their own, only to be combine with their pastry counterparts at the very end.
And combine they did—the pie crusts fit perfectly into the hallows of the baked apples, which were perfectly cooked (not raw, not mushy) and now filled with the most perfect of cinnamon-apple innards that made the whole house smell spicy and warm.
Of course they did.
(courtesy of TinyUrbanKitchen.com)
5 large apples (preferably Granny Smith)
1 ½ cups all purpose flour
1 stick butter, cold and cut into ½-inch chunks
½ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon sugar
6-8 tablespoons water
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon lime juice
Prepare pie crust by place flour, chunks of butter, salt and one teaspoon of sugar in food processor and pulsing into course grounds. Remove from food processor and add water gradually until dough begins to form. Knead by hand for 1 minute, roll into ball and wrap in plastic wrap. Chill in fridge for one hour or overnight.
Cut the tops off of four of the apples and set aside. Score the inside of the apple and scoop out (using a spoon, knife, melon baller, whatever) the majority of the apple, leaving a small, ¼ lining. With the fifth apple, slice very thinly and mix with the remaining teaspoon of cinnamon, sugar and lime juice. Set aside.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Once dough has chilled, roll out until 1/8-inch thick and cut large circles (I used a wide-brimmed mug.) Place in greased cupcake tray and fill with cinnamon apple slices. On a separate tray, place hollowed apples, upside-down. Place both trays in the oven. After ten minutes, remove the hollowed apples. After an additional 15 minutes, check on the pie crusts. Once they are golden brown, remove from oven.
Assemble pies by inserting pie crusts into apples. Enjoy!

A Lagos-based outfit seeks to bring succour to Kogi State flood victims through photography.
First, there was the flood disaster. It had swooped on unsuspecting communities. Among these were communities in Kogi, a state cradling the confluence of Nigeria's two arterial waterways. With horror, they had watched their lives change. From safe distances, bemused Nigerians tried to wring coherence from it all. Moved to pathos, a collective that calls itself Orbit Imagery began to spin ideas. How could it, through photography, draw the world's attention to the plight of these distressed communities?
Then, there was the high-wattage idea. Nothing would engrave the plight of these people in the public's consciousness like photography! The photography agency therefore opts for a photo-documentary, titled Things We Lost in the Flood. "It takes us, in detail, with the use of strong story-telling images, through the various vicinities ...and also through schools and other nearby institutions that were later converted into campsites for the displaced," explains its managing director/CEO, Ayobami Macaulay.
The outfit's senior photographer, Augustine Udoh, spent three weeks scouring through about 20 campsites with his camera. His mission: document the challenges they are facing. These challenges include feeding, healthcare, accommodation and clothing, among others. But the path to their rehabilitation promises to be stony and thorny as well as beset with setbacks.
The documentary's title draws its inspiration from the lamentations of the victims. But then, not all that was lost in the flood could be replaced. This, everyone knows. For this reason, Orbit Imagery "went ahead to document their strife and try to pass along their desperate cries for help." The idea is to feature these documentary photographs in a two-pronged exhibition - "first as an event and then as an open exhibition in various public locations across Lagos State".
But that would not be the end of the story. The organisers hope to follow up with further documentation of these "resilient people" taking delivery of relief materials and beginning their path to rehabilitation. Obviously, the planned exhibition targets a segment of financially-endowed concerned individuals, representatives of both the private and public corporate bodies. The organisers hope that they "will in one way or the other ...help garner support for the cause".
"A subsequent, but open exhibition will be held in public spaces in order to sensitise concerned individuals and other government and corporate bodies that could not be reached for one reason or the other and also to support any online or regular media campaign that will be staged if necessary, urging people to donate funds, food or old clothes as a means of contributing to the relief effort," the organisers further explain.
The proposed private exhibition, scheduled to hold in a yet-to-be disclosed date in the first quarter of this year, will be followed immediately by a public version of it. Through the charity event, this Lagos-based photography agency also hopes to burnish its respectable credentials in both photography and entertainment sector. During its three-year existence, it has focused on fashion and beauty, portraiture, music, documentaries and life photography. "With a strong business advisory and photography base provided by vastly experienced individuals in our ranks we are constantly in search of opportunities to grow and take longer strides that will help in redefining the idea of photography in Nigeria, and take it from a budding industry to a more professional and globally recognised entity."
Ayobami, a Babcock University graduate of business administration, is no neophyte in the finance world. His path had led through the banking, stock-broking and real estate terrains. He has so far steered the course of Orbit Imagery towards its dreams. With him as the outfit's Director of Strategy and Business Development is Joseph Edgar. Edgar's 15 years of experience in banking also led him through the trust services subsector in banks like Magnum Trust Bank, NAL Asset Management and Trust Limited and Habib Bank (now Keystone Bank), amongst others. The MSc political science holder from the University of Lagos, who is also an associate member of the Chartered Institute of Stockbrokers, has previously worked as the executive director and Chief Wealth Officer of BGL Asset Management Limited. He was also the BGL's Chief Marketing Officer (West) as well as its deputy managing director.
The two other directors, who are also photographers, are Somto Ikenna Obi and Augustine Victor Udoh. Both men have made enviable strides in photography. Obi, also a Babcock University graduate, has understudied the works of his more experienced colleagues and thus honed not only his skills but also his understanding of the medium. Udoh, who followed the footprints of a renowned Nigerian photographer Mubarak Adegunwa, has similarly gained a lot of insight in the profession.

Net Asset Value per ShareEquity excluding minority interests, divided by number of shares.Net Profit Ratio ...
Net Asset Value per share (NAV):The market value of one share of a mutual fund. The fund's NAV is calculated daily by taking the fund's total assets (securities, cash, and accrued earnings), less expenses, and dividing by the number of shares outstanding. The NAV does not include the sales charge.
For mutual funds, this is the net asset value per share.Medical Savings Account (MSA) A tax-exempt trust or custodial account established for the purpose of paying medical expenses in conjunction with a high-deductible health care plan.Migration of Shares ...
What Is Net Asset Value Per Share? What Are the Different Types of Financial Help for Cancer Patients? What Is Growth at a Reasonable Price? What Is a Multilateral Development Bank? What Is Breakdown Cover? What Is Debtors Anonymous?
The fund management company usually calculates and publishes the fund's net asset value per share once a day. After the stock and bond markets have closed, the total value of the fund's portfolio is calculated, and that value is divided by the number of shares in the fund's investor accounts.
Net asset value - Usually used in connection with investment companies to mean net asset value per share. An investment company computes its assets daily, or even twice daily, by totaling the market value of all securities owned.
Another vital question that must be answered is whether the net asset value per share is higher than the share price. Another way one can put this is whether the Price to Book Value (PBV) is under 1 times.
A mutual fund issues and redeems shares to meet demand, and the redemption value per share is the net asset value per share, less in some cases a redemption fee which represents a rear-end load. The shares are redeemable on any business day at the net asset value.
Net asset value (NAV) The value of a fund's investments. For a mutual fund, the net asset value per share usually represents the fund's market price, subject to a possible sales or redemption charge. For a closed-end fund, the market price may vary significantly from the net asset value.
The Market price may exceed the Net asset value per share, in which case shares are selling at a premium. When the Market price falls below the (NAV)/share, shares are selling at a discount.
They aim at keeping the net asset value per share at 1$ with only the profit margin going up or down. It may be the case, however, that when the investment is bad or performs unsatisfactory, the NAV may drop under $1 per share. While rare it is still possible that losses to occur in money markets.
All open-end management company's sell their shares at net asset value per share.
Net asset value is, as its name indicates, the total value of assets less any outstanding liabilities, and is usually divided by the number of outstanding shares in order to derive the net asset value per share.
Uncertainty in Price - Unlike investing in stocks where you can get real-time pricing information, mutual funds only calculate their NAV (net asset value per share) once a day and this typically takes place after the stock exchange closes.
A mutual fund that invests only in short term securities, such as bankers' acceptances, commercial paper, repurchase agreements and government bills. The net asset value per share is maintained at $1.00.
In the context of investing, the discount is the difference between the net asset value (NAV) per share of an investment trust and the share price, expressed as a percentage of the net asset value per share (for example, if the NAV is £3.00, and the share price of the trust is £2.
Sales Charge: The amount charged to purchase mutual fund shares. The charge is added to the net asset value per share to determine the per share offering price.
A company that distributes and redeems securities it issues. The most common open-end management companies are mutual fund companies which sell and redeem shares at the net asset value per share.Optimized Portfolio as Listed Securities - OPALS ...
For closed-end country funds, observers can compare the stock prices to the net asset value per share (the net value of the fund's total holdings divided by the number of shares outstanding).

This was delicious! Served it with the Herbed Baked Sea Bass but it would be good on anything. Left out the chives because I didn't have them but I'm sure it would be even better with them. I tasted it with bruschetta and could have eaten it all that way. My guests almost liked the bowl clean!!

After taking a look at the ages of starting cornerbacks around the NFL on Monday, I was curious enough to go through every position across the league and find the average age at each position, and see how the Steelers compare.
Here are the results in the form of a fancy chart, going from oldest to youngest. The NFL average is in black, the Steelers are in gold.
First, the averages…
And now, the median ages…
It shouldn't be a surprise that running backs are the youngest position (by a nice margin) across the league, or that the four youngest positions at running back, wide receiver, cornerback and safety. It also isn't a shocking revelation that the Steelers are quite the veteran team, coming in below the NFL average at only quarterback, center, running back and guard.
The Steelers are getting long in the tooth in many key areas (like, say, the defense), but they have a number young players and recent draft picks that will hopefully be ready to take over for some of these veterans in the near future.
- Hines Ward brings up the average age of the Steelers receivers, but the rest of the group consists of Mike Wallace (24), Emmanuel Sanders (24), Antonio Brown (22) and, for the optimists in the house, Limas Sweed (26).
- The age of the Steelers defensive line was a hot topic around draft time when they used their first-round pick on Ohio State's Cameron Heyward, which was the second time in the past three years they've used their top pick on a defensive end (Ziggy Hood in 2009). If all goes according to plan, the transition from Brett Kiesel and Aaron Smith to Hood and Heyward should be a smooth one.
- We talked about cornerbacks on Monday, and while the Steelers haven't invested early picks in the position, they have selected four in the past three years, including two (Curtis Brown and Cortez Allen) this year.
- James Harrison and James Farrior are older, but LaMarr Woodley and Lawrence Timmons are still on the young side, even though they're both getting ready to enter their fifth year in the league. Jason Worilds, Chris Carter and Stevenson Sylvester were all drafted in the past two classes.
- Rashard Mendenhall, entering his fourth year, is also significantly below the average. I suppose this is one of the advantages to putting such a heavy emphasis on youth early in the draft. The Steelers early draft picks are typically between the ages of 20-22 on draft day, and a lot of times underclassmen.
The development of a lot of these guys (particularly players like Sanders, Antonio Brown, Heyward, Hood, Curtis Brown, Allen, and Worilds) could be a large factor in the long-term success of the Steelers organization.

Reports filed by a committee set up by the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) has indicted Nigeria's tertiary institutions for corruption.
The committee was set up last year to look into several petitions filed before ICPC on corruption, sexual harassments in the Nigeria's tertiary institutions.
Three institutions were selected for the pilot phase, which included the Federal University of Nigeria, Nsukka, Olabisi Onabanjo University, Ago Iwoye and Salem University, Lokoja.
ICPC chairman Mr. Ekpo Nta said the findings revealed selling of exams questions papers, swapping of examination grades and writing exams by proxy, direct cheatings, delay in releasing exam results and poor record keeping.
"In a way, Nigeria's tertiary institutions that are expected to be at the vanguard of ethical education to correct the ills of the society have themselves become the haven for corruption and corruption related practices," he said.

Among the latest offerings from Louisville, KY-based Versa Wallcoverings are the following three striking designs.
Inspired by the crisscrossing ropes of the Djembe drum, Versa Wallcovering's Zambra brings tribal influence to the wall. Djembe translates to "gather peace" and, like its namesake, the wallcovering exudes soothing hand-crafted qualities. Reflective of earthy native craft, Zambra responds to our desire for handmade artisanal looks. Great for walls with imperfections, the proprietary raised embossing projects gentle movement with jagged lines that appear vertical from one perspective and horizontal from others. Eighteen colours shimmer in metallic inks, run from pure white to inky black, and include vivids such as indigo and Everglades. Made with Second-Look technology, Zambra has 20-per-cent recycled content and is certified to the NSF/ANSI 342 Sustainability Standard for Wallcovering. Zambra measures 52"/54" and is made of 24-oz. low-VOC vinyl.
Geometry takes the lead role in Versa Wallcovering's production for the wall called Urban Oasis. The structured diamond embossing is refreshingly classic, clean and architectural. Changes in light continually add new dimension to this rhythmic pattern. Touchably tactile, it comes in an expansive palette of 18 colours to suit a range of applications. Metallics such as Steel and dramatic saturated blues, blacks and reds bring big city chic to the wall. Or explore the design's earthy side, creating a craft aesthetic in naturalistic hues of woven grass and rustic wood. Sleek tans, taupes and bright whites create understated but definitive surface interest. Urban Oasis is low-VOC and certified to the NSF/ANSI 342 Sustainability Standard for Wallcovering.
Shimmery, soft and iridescent, Gossamer by Versa Wallcovering brings the look of pleated silk to the wall. The low-VOC vinyl wallcovering blends colour and texture to replicate the intricate threads and subtle folds of a natural textile. So dimensional that you're drawn to touch it, Gossamer has a surprisingly smooth surface that provides a high degree of cleanability in healthcare and high-traffic spaces. Twenty-one colours include rich, velvety neutrals, a range of water-conjuring blues, and earthy hues that lend wood grain effects. The sophisticated texture establishes an upscale backdrop for environments from corporate to hospitality, retail and healthcare. The Type II vinyl wallcovering is certified to the NSF/ANSI 342 Sustainability Standard.

One of the reasons conservatives and pro-immigration reform politicians worried President Obama would do something to scuttle a bipartisan compromise on the issue is that it would follow a pattern Obama has set throughout his administration. The president has a habit of not participating in bipartisan negotiations and then harpooning them–or attempting to–from the outside. This was the case when Obama gave his much-derided rally during the fiscal cliff negotiations that seemed designed to kill the deal that was being formed at the 11th hour.
It was also exactly what Obama did with immigration reform last year, when Senator Marco Rubio stepped up to lead GOP efforts to find a compromise and the president preempted any possible deal with executive action. Yet as the Hill reminds us today, if Obama did something to derail immigration reform this time it would actually be the third time he worked assiduously and successfully to kill reform. The Hill notes the story of the ill-fated immigration reform negotiations of 2007. Obama, then a senator, asked to join the bipartisan negotiating group at its core, which agreed to oppose any amendment that could kill the bill even if they agreed with it to ensure the bill would move forward. Obama apparently ignored the negotiating sessions but always showed up for the press conferences, and then both supported and offered his own "poison pill" amendments, including the one that both parties credit with finishing off the reform effort for good:
Obama in 2007 backed an amendment to sunset a guest-worker program that was an essential part of an immigration deal crafted by Republicans and former Sen. Edward Kennedy (D-Mass.).
Kennedy opposed the amendment, but Obama — who was then running for president — supported the measure, and it was approved by one vote, 49-48.
The immigration bill then stalled, and the Senate coalition failed to regain enough momentum to push it to final passage.
Obama's behavior apparently angered even Kennedy, who told the young senator he couldn't just parachute in to torpedo the work. But that's exactly what Obama did. As the bill began losing steam, on June 4, 2007 the Washington Post listed the primary obstacles to the compromise, including an amendment from Obama and Robert Menendez. The next day, Obama refused to back down, even if it meant killing the bill, explaining he intended to hold up the process until he could win the presidency. Two days after that, the bill was effectively dead, though for good measure two weeks later Obama would offer another controversial amendment just in case the bill gained any last-minute momentum before that year's congressional summer break.
That history probably explains why the White House declined to dispute the Hill's characterization of the events of 2007–they were accurate. And each time, Obama has made the decision to keep the issue on the table for electoral purposes. Before the 2008 election, he sabotaged the immigration reform process and then ran a Spanish-language ad against John McCain distorting McCain's record on the issue and setting a new low for the campaign's dishonest advertising and dirty tricks. When Rubio tried to fix the immigration system last year, Obama scuttled that one too, using the issue to help his re-election campaign.
The question now is whether Obama actually wants reform since he no longer needs the votes, or if yet again he'll stand outside the process while others are working toward a compromise only to destroy the process at the last moment. The latter would, unfortunately, be more consistent with Obama's history.

Geist Triathlon Announces Date Change to Saturday, July 27
Public, Participant Safety Factors in Moving the Inaugural Event Date
(FISHERS, Ind.) May 23, 2013—Event organizers announced today that the Geist Triathlon at the Indianapolis Sailing Club, originally scheduled for June 22, will now be held on Saturday, July 27 at 8 a.m. After discussion with Town officials, event organizers and town staff grew concerned for public and participant safety given two other large July 4th community events already scheduled within two weeks of the original date.
"Our number one priority in planning this great event is for the safety of those who participate," said Geist Triathlon co-organizer Tom Britt. "After much discussion, we decided to move the event to a new date on July 27 so that we can ensure a safe and successful event."
Persons who have preregistered for the inaugural event and elect to compete on July 27 will be given a commemorative shoulder-strap tote bag. For those preregistered athletes that cannot reschedule, a full refund will be given or you may transfer your entry to the Fishers Area Sprint Triathlon in September.
Registration is now open for the Geist Triathlon at www.GeistTri.com. Cost is $80 per person, $5 of which is being donated to Team Luke. Follow them on Twitter @GeistTri and on Facebook ("GeistTri").

Hi all,
I finally took the plunge and bought my new AL 80B from HRO. It arrived in very good condition within a few days. I am in the process of getting things in the shack ready, 240 volt circuit, etc. (I am going to change the transformer connections to 240 v).
My question is about the 10 meter mod. I read here a while back about the "green jumper". There is a green jumper on the tuned input board that seems to be shorting out the "aux", (10 meter) inductor. I would guess this would be the correct jumper to remove. But I want to be sure. Am I correct on this? I would also think removing the entire jumper would be better than just cutting it.
I could send Ameritron a copy of my lic, but this is a bit of a pain.
At the moment I only have a 10m antenna up, but will be doing a full installation of a ground mounted 4btv w/radials when the ground thaws in the mid spring.
Thanks and 73's
