text: Michigan Confirms Bovine TB in Dairy Herd June 25, 2012 02:15 PM Tweet TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By Catherine Merlo Farm Journal's Milk Western and Online Editor Email The Alpena County farm is quarantined, and no cattle may enter or leave the premises until testing clears the cattle and farm of the disease. Routine bovine Tuberculosis (TB) surveillance testing conducted by the Michigan Department of Agriculture and Rural Development (MDARD) and USDA recently confirmed a medium size dairy herd as bovine TB-positive in Alpena County, the Michigan agency announced June 22. Bovine TB is an infectious bacterial disease that affects cattle and white-tailed deer in Michigan's northeastern Lower Peninsula. The Alpena County farm is currently quarantined and no cattle may enter or leave the premises until testing clears the cattle and farm of bovine TB, either through premises depopulation, or a test and remove process. "Our surveillance testing is vital to helping us return all of Michigan to TB-Free status," said Dr. James Averill, Animal Industry Division Director at MDARD. "In addition to surveillance testing, farmers are employing tools to keep deer away from their cattle, which will help Michigan have fewer TB positive herds." A public information meeting will be held on July 12, 2012 at 7 p.m. in Lecture Room 101 of the Donnelly Natural Resources Center at Alpena Community College, 665 Johnson Street, in Alpena, Mich. Northeastern Lower Michigan is designated as a Modified Accredited Zone (MAZ) and is comprised of Alcona, Alpena, Montmorency, and Oscoda counties. The MAZ is a USDA designation for the purposes of controlled cattle movement, TB testing, and disease eradication. Since the bovine TB eradication effort began, all of Michigan's 14,000 cattle farms have undergone TB testing. Since 1998, MDARD and USDA have detected 54 TB positive cattle herds and four privately owned cervid operations in the northern section of Michigan's Lower Peninsula. In 2011, Presque Isle County's TB status became Modified Accredited Advanced (MAA), which is one step closer to becoming bovine TB-Free. The MAA Zone now includes Antrim, Charlevoix, Cheboygan, Crawford, Emmet, Otsego, and Presque Isle counties. The Upper Peninsula is Bovine TB-Free; additionally in 2011, USDA moved the lower 57 counties of Michigan's Lower Peninsula to TB-Free status as well. Since 1995, the Michigan Department of Natural Resources (DNR) has tested more than 188,000 free-ranging white-tailed deer with 703 testing positive for bovine TB. Strategies adopted by the DNR to reduce bovine TB in free-ranging white-tailed deer have reduced the apparent prevalence of the disease from the high in 1995 of 4.9 percent to 1.2 percent in Deer Management Unit 452 in 2011.

On June 14, unknown men picked up Abdusalomov, chief editor of the local independent newspaper Diydor, from a street in the Jalal-Abad region; police are holding him in a pretrial detention facility, without access to his family or defense counsel, according to CPJ sources and press reports. The next day, Jalal-Abad police arrested Askarov, who had been reporting on interethnic violence in the south.
"We call on Kyrgyz authorities in Jalal-Abad to free Ulugbek
Abdusalomov and Azimjon Askarov at once," CPJ's
On June 14, several unidentified men in camouflage uniforms driving a black SUV without license plates blocked Abdusalomov's car in the Jalal-Abad region, saying they'd come specifically for him and not the other passengers, a local journalist who asked for anonymity told CPJ. The journalist's son and witnesses told a local reporter that the men took the editor to the regional headquarters of the Kyrgyz security service (SNB), and later transferred him to a Jalal-Abad police detention facility. The official press service of the Kyrgyz transitional government, citing Jalal-Abad regional prosecutor Kanybek Turdumambetov, said that Abdusalamov has been detained on charges of incitement of ethnic hatred. According to CPJ sources in the region, Abdusalomov's paper, produced in both Uzbek and Kyrgyz, was not critical of the authorities.
On June 15, Jalal-Abad police arrested Askarov, who is
primarily known as a human rights defender, on the same charge as Abdusalomov,
according to international news reports. Askarov was reporting on violence,
looting, and the police's failure to stop human rights abuses in the southern
Today, Ferghana released a photo of Askarov in which the reporter shows bruises reportedly sustained in a police beating while in detention. Ferghana said it had obtained the photo through a local human rights group that visited Askarov in custody.
Journalists have told CPJ that ethnic Uzbek journalists are being targeted for retaliation on the basis of their ethnicity and that Kyrgyz authorities are unable to provide adequate protection. At least two have gone into hiding temporarily, according to local journalists.
"It is unacceptable that our colleagues would be forced to go into hiding because of their ethnicity," Ognianova said. "Kyrgyz authorities must investigate these incidents thoroughly and ensure that journalists are able to report on this ongoing crisis."

It's that time of year again where 'best of 2011' lists in every conceivable category seem to pop up everywhere. I figured I may as well compile my list of best books for 2nd grade.
In the past few years, there have been many children's books that would have made my list, except for the fact that they weren't really suitable for all 2nd graders. Books on those lists would have included Neil Gaiman's The Graveyard Book and Rebecca Stead's When You Reach Me (2010 and 2009 Newbery Award Winners). I keep hoping for another book like Kate DiCamillo's 2004 Newbery winner The Tale of Despereaux, a book that has deep complex characters and themes, that although sometimes dark, are balanced with just the right amount of light for young children. It's no accident that one of Despereaux's foes is named Chiaroscuro.
There were many engaging chapter books that 2nd graders gravitated towards this year, but most were books that were part of a series like, Diary of a Wimpy Kid. My list of top 2nd grade books for 2011, therefore, does not include a chapter book. If you have any suggestions, please let me know.
You can say so much with so few words and marvelous images. A great book about memory, aging, gardening, history, family, and much more.
Swirl by Swirl: Spirals in Nature by Joyce Sidman, pictures by Beth Krommes
Not surprisingly, Beth Krommes has already won a Caldecott Award. The illustrations are mesmerizing.
Press Here by Herve Tullett
For all the people who are averse to reading on a tablet, this book has a great sense of humor in the way one is supposed to interact with a physical book.
The Chronicles of Harris Burdick (illus. by Chris Van Allsburg; written by various)
Originally published in 1984, The Mysteries of Harris Burdick, was a book of fantastic illustrations, each with only a single caption. These illustrations and captions have been great story starters that have inspired children to write. Now, well known authors like Sherman Alexie, Kate DiCamillo, Stephen King, Jon Scieszka, and Lemony Snicket have all contributed their story to one of the illustrations. I haven't all the stories yet, but the ones I have are great!
The House Baba Built: An Artist's Childhood In China by Ed Young
An amazingly illustrated memoir of the author's childhood in Shanghai during WWII.
I Want My Hat Back by Jon Klassen
Another book that says so much with so little. It's also wickedly funny.
Everything On It by Shel Silverstein
Books that are published posthumously often seem to be a random compilation of odds and ends. That's not the case with this collection of poems, each as silly, witty, and fun as any in his other collections.
The Lego Ideas Book: Unlock Your Imagination by Daniel Lipkowitz
Currently, it's the most sought after book in my classroom library.
There are several books that were published this year that I have yet to read, something I hope to do this winter break. Among them are Wonderstruck, Inside Out and Back Again, The Fingertips of Duncan Dorfman, and Secrets at Sea. I'm hoping one of these will make a good read-aloud.
Have a wonderful holiday!

Free utilities to download videos from YouTube
One of the most frequently asked questions I'm asked is how to download YouTube and other videos on the Web. Luckily, there are several free utilities, Web sites and browser plug-ins that make the process easy.
There is a popular free browser plug-in for Firefox, as indicated by the 6.5 million copies downloaded, that can download almost all YouTube videos as well as the videos from most other Web sites. This Firefox plug-in Video DownloadHelper is available for instant installation at addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/video-downloadhelper. This browser plug-in could not be much more easy to use. According to the DownloadHelper Web site, "Just surf the Web as you are used to; when DownloadHelper detects it can do something for you, the icon gets animated and a menu allows you to download files by simply clicking an item." The icon that is referred to is typically located on one of the menu or toolbars, and consists of three colored balls (red, yellow or blue) that rotate whenever a compatible video is detected. A second colored balls icon, this one non-rotating, also appears on the top-left of the YouTube video. Even though the rotating "colored balls" icon on the menu or toolbar is small, there is a tiny down arrow on the right edge of the rotating balls; left clicking on the tiny down arrow displays the different resolutions and video formats available for direct download. Standard resolutions are indicated with a red square with a right arrow, and HD resolutions are indicated with an HD logo. Resolutions are also listed in pixels, such as 240p, 360p and 720p (or higher), and many of the videos are also available for download in multiple formats, typically FLV, MP4 and the mobile 3GP video formats. Moving the mouse cursor over one of the resolution and format listings will display another window that displays the download options; my personal choice for downloaded YouTube videos is to select the "Medium – MP4" and "Quick Download" options. Most third-party video players on both PCs and Macs can play videos in MP4 format. If I want to download the video to play on my smartphone, I choose the 3GP format. Another method to downloading YouTube videos with DownloadHelper is to left click on the non-rotating colored ball icon on the top-left of the YouTube image, and select a download option.
There is much more to DownloadHelper. Right clicking on the rotating balls icon will open a configuration menu where the user can modify the program settings as desired, including the ability to automatically convert the download into one of several listed formats. A second companion plug-in (free) may be required in order to convert into some video formats, and DownloadHelper can download and install the utility. An additional DownloadHelper plug-in places a single red ball adjacent to the rotating icon; clicking on this red ball allows the user to screen capture almost any video from almost any Web site that is not directly supported by DownloadHelper. Upon clicking the red ball, a moveable bracket will appear, and activating the utility will record whatever appears within the bracket. Clicking again on the red ball icon turns this feature off.
For those not using the Firefox browser (or those Firefox users who do not want any plug-ins) there are several good alternatives to DownloadHelper. One Web based download utility that is very easy to use is Tubekeeper, at www.tubekeeper.com. All the user needs to do in order to download YouTube videos using Tubekeeper is to copy the YouTube Web address (URL) and paste it in the "URL – Download" blue box, and then click the download button to download the video to the user's computer. If using Tubekeeper, I recommend that the user clicks on the "Share" button on the bottom edge of the YouTube video screen, then click "Options" and check the "Long Link" option box, and then copy the link, and paste it into Tubekeeper. If the high definition (HD) video is desired, also check both the "HD Link" and the "Long Link" boxes, and then copy and paste the link into Tubekeeper. Click the download button to download the video.Some users prefer to use a non-Web-based utility to download and convert videos, and a very good free utility is the award winning Free Video Downloader, which can be downloaded from www.freemake.com/free_video_downloader. This software utility can download videos from more than 10,000 Web sites, including YouTube, Facebook and Vimeo. During the download process, Free Video Downloader can convert the video into a wide selection for formats. This software can also download YouTube videos that are embedded into other Web sites.
An open secret among geeks is that YouTube videos can also be downloaded directly to the user's computer using a variety of tricks, mostly adding a word or prefix to the YouTube URL (web address). One of the most popular download tricks was recently published on Gizmo's TechSupportAlert.com. This trick is explained by Gizmo as a simple four step process: First, open the desired YouTube video in your browser; second, add the word "save" after the "www." and before the "youtube.com," making the address www.saveyoutube.com/watch/<filename>; next, the page will reload as a SaveYouTube page, where the Web site will directly downloaded the chosen video. A video with instructions is available on the SaveYouTube Web site at www.saveyoutube.com.
Using any of these utilities, any user can download YouTube (and other) videos for any legitimate purpose. I typically show them directly from a CD or a USB flash drive, or embed them into a PowerPoint presentation. I have also downloaded some videos to my smartphone explicitly for entertainment purposes. In order to be legally correct, the DownloadHelper Web site contains this proviso: "Note that DownloadHelper does not break any real protection implemented on the sites. It gives easier access to available content that will be downloaded by your browser anyway. With some exceptions, downloaded videos must be kept on your disk for personal use and are not to be shown on other Web sites." This might be a good rule to follow.Enjoy your downloaded videos.

Winter Olympics: Out with New, In with Old for U.S. Speedskating Uniforms [Video]
The United States' speedskating team had won 29 gold medals and 67 medals overall in long-track competition before the Sochi Winter Olympics, including four medals at the Vancouver Winter Olympics in 2010.
But so far in Sochi, Russia, the Americans had not finished better than seventh place through six of the 12 events for the XXII Winter Games.
In a decision reached early Saturday in Sochi, the U.S. Speedskating Association decided to make a switch on its new uniforms, The Wall Street Journal reported along with other numerous other news media outlets, including ESPN, The Associated Press and NBC Sports.
The revolutionary Mach 39 suits had been developed by Baltimore-based Under Armour along with Marietta, Ga.-based aerospace firm Lockheed-Martin. Instead, American speedskaters will revert back to the Under Armour uniforms they had previously been using.
The change was considered necessary in the winter sport in which the U.S. has had more success than any other.
"Under Armour provided U.S. Speedskating with three different suit configurations in advance of Sochi, and we have full confidence in the performance benefits of each of them," U.S. Speedskating President Mike plant said in a statement.
Through two of eight short-track speedskating events, the best U.S finish has been J.R. Celski's fourth in the men's 1,500-meter race won by Canada's Charles Hamelin.

10 Guys Who Died Doing What They Loved
You only die once, they say (unless you get brought back as a zombie, and then you get one more shot at it), so it's kind of important that you make your last moments on Earth enjoyable. In this article, we'll bring you ten dudes who shuffled off this mortal coil enjoying their favorite activities.
Riding A Segway
Do you remember when Segways were going to change the world? Now they're just an excuse for cops to get fatter and lazier. James "Jimi" Heselden believed in the power of the two-wheeled personal transportation system so much that he bought the company in 2010. Later that year, he rode his personal Segway off a cliff near his country estate.
Rocking Out
The metal world shed a manly, aggressive tear in 2004 when Dimebag Darrell, the former guitarist of Pantera, was shot on stage in Ohio. Darrell was playing with his new band Damageplan when a paranoid schizophrenic popped him in the head with three bullets from a 9mm Beretta. After the assailant was himself killed by a shotgun blast to the face from a cop, enraged metalheads began kicking and spitting on his body. Now that's hardcore.
Playing Golf
It's so easy to get pissed off on the golf course. One bad swing and your balls can be in a place worse than Lindsay Lohan's mouth. In 1994, young Jeremy Brenno was playing a round with friends in Gloversville, New York. He missed a shot and got hella mad, swinging his three wood at a nearby bench. Unfortunately, the shaft broke, rebounded right into his chest and pierced his heart, killing him instantly. There's no playing through that.
Getting Head
There are few extracurricular activities that a dude enjoys more than getting his member tended to orally, so it's not surprising that it's pushed people over the brink. The Victorian term for orgasm was "the little death," after all. Felix Faure was President of France from 1895 until his death in 1899. From all reports, he was a just Chief Executive, but he also liked a little of the strange, and he suffered a stroke while getting a beej from his 30 year old secretary.
NASCAR Driving
One of the most legendary race drivers of all time, Dale Earnhart earned the nickname "The Intimidator" for his aggressive style behind the wheel. Literally nobody could choose a better way for Dale to leave this world than at maximum speed, so when he crashed in the last lap of the 2001 Daytona 500 and suffered a skull fracture that killed him instantly, he just peeled off right into Heaven.
Playing Basketball
Many athletes die doing what they love – hell, football's probably indirectly responsible for dozens of brain hemorrhages – but one basketball player took it to the next level. "Pistol" Pete Maravich was considered one of the greatest offensive talents to ever play the game, and after knee injuries forced him to retire he set off on a journey of self-discovery. While playing a pickup 3 on 3 game in a gym in Pasadena, Maravich suffered a heart attack and died instantly. His last words were "I feel great." An autopsy revealed that he had been born without a left coronary artery and his right one had been picking up the slack the whole time.

|Nozomi Sushi
Like with the previous Sushi Zo post, my first dinner at Nozomi happened over a year ago. Although the dinner had occurred such a long time ago, I always had fond memories of my dinner there. Strange enough, I didn't make a return visit until this past weekend. While going over the new pictures for Nozomi, I still want to present my first dinner in pictures. Part two of my Nozomi post will cover the most recent dinner. If you want a more detailed post, please read DJJewelz's post on this omakase meal.
|The First Rule Of Fight Club? Always Be Nice to Your Sushi Chef Or Else.....
|Cracker with Uni, Marinated Squid, and Cream Cheese
It's just the refreshing starter we needed to whet our palates. And here. We. Go!
|Kinmedai (Alfonsino with Lemon and Himalayan Sea Salt)
I loved the use of lemon and sea salt on this.
|Tai (Black Seabream with Ponzu Jelly)
|Madai (Red Snapper with Sesame Soy)
|Yasu-San Showing Us Our Next Fish: Tobiko (Flying Fish)
Our head sushi chef was Yasu-San, who was showing the next fish used for our omakase: Tobiko (Flying Fish).
|Tobiko (Flying Fish)
|Hiramasa (Yellowtail Amberjack)
|Fried Calamari with Nori Powder
A bread from sushi. Fried calamari with seaweed powder. Very nice!
|Japanese Brown Barracuda with Mountain Potatoes
The barracuda was seared by Yasu-san. I loved the flavor of this flavor and the addition of the yamaimo was very nice. I've never had barracuda before, and the only thing that came to my mind was this:
I'm sure most of you have heard of this song, or at least played it on Guitar Hero. So I digress...
|Yasu-San Preparing Our Next Piece
|Ebi (Arabian White Shrimp from Red Sea)
I wanted seconds of this. I love shrimp, especially the fried shrimp head. For me, it was the ingredient that was the most unique. Arabian white shrimp from the Red Sea? That's a definite first for me!
|Himo (Orange Clam)
|Sake (Salmon with Thin White Kelp)
After all the various piece served, salmon almost came across as boring. Yet, it was a delicious piece of fish. I really enjoyed the thin piece of kelp on top of the fish.
|Hamachi (Yellowtail)
Hamachi has always been one of my favorite. I always enjoy the rich, buttery taste from the hamachi. This piece was no exception.
|Maguro (Marinated Tuna with Avocado)
|Toro (Fatty Blue Fin Tuna Belly)
This was truly melt in your mouth good. I wish I had two pieces instead of one.
You can't go wrong with a tasty bowl of chawanmushi (steamed eggs).
|Uni (Sea Urchin Roe)
Dare I say this uni was better than the one served at Urasawa? A bold statement yes, but not when the manager of Nozomi is the son-in-law of one of the biggest distributors of Santa Barbara Sea Urchin. Nozomi definitely has the best, freshest sea urchin around. This was SO good!
|Shirako (Cod Milt (Sperm))
What's this? Brains? Afraid not. I should have just titled this shirako and no one would ever google this piece. Shirako is otherwise known as cod milt, or cod sperm. Yes, I ate sperm, and it was pretty good.
|Ikura (Salmon Roe with Quail Egg)
Ikura and salmon roe, what a perfect combo. I loved it!
|Anago (Sea Eel with Lemon Zest)
The last piece of the day, we ended with anago. Served with the usual eel sauce that most are familiar with and a bit of lemon zest, it was a great way to end our meal.
|Dessert: Pineapple
|Yasu and Mark
To say that I was surprised with the quality of the sushi at Nozomi was an understatement. I knew it would be good going in, but it definitely exceeded my expectations. The sushi that we had that night were unique and delicious. I can't wait to post part 2 of my return visit at Nozomi. Yasu-san is definitely a true sushi master, so my recommendation is to ask for him when you make visit. You definitely won't be disappointed!

Author Notes: This is a dish that will satisfy even the heartiest appetite. It's meat, potatoes and salad, all in one bowl, and the components are chopped so it's easy to eat - no knife necessary. I use bottom round, a cut that is both flavorful and inexpensive. This cut can be tough if not treated properly, but a winey marinade enhances its beefy flavor and helps to tenderize the meat. —lastnightsdinner
Food52 Review: Beef and blue cheese are always a great combo. And when you throw potatoes, tomatoes, peppery greens and homemade pickled onions and garlic croutons into the mix, how can we say no? While it has many different components, we love the way this salad came together; all of the vegetables and the meat end up coated in a slightly creamy combination of dressing and blue cheese. Lastnightsdinnr saves time (and an extra bowl) by using the same mixture of red wine, sherry vinegar and olive oil to marinate the steak and serve as the dressing for the salad. The onions (we used shallots), which pickle gently in salt, sherry vinegar and juniper berries while you prepare the rest of the salad, contribute subtle acidity and sweetness. Lastnightsdinner calls for bottom round, which is relatively inexpensive but has excellent flavor with a tender bite. To make our garlic croutons, we rubbed two thick slices of stale country bread with a clove of garlic, cut the bread into 1-inch cubes and toasted these in the oven at 350°F for about ten minutes. -A&M —The Editors
Serves: 4
Beef Chopped Salad
cup dry red wine
cup Sherry vinegar
kosher or sea salt
cracked black pepper
cup plus 1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
tablespoons chopped garlic
pound bottom round, about 1 1/2 inches thick (we buy grass-fed)
cup waxy potato, cut into ½- to 1-inch chunks
cup halved small cherry or grape tomatoes
pound firm blue cheese, such as Maytag Blue, cut into ½- to 1-inch chunks
cups young arugula or spinach leaves
cup chunky garlic croutons, homemade or store-bought
Quick Pickled Red Onions (recipe follows)
Quick Pickled Red Onions
teaspoon kosher or pickling salt
teaspoon juniper berries
cup Sherry vinegar
cup water
cup small, young red onion or shallots, peeled and sliced into thin rings
Beef Chopped Salad
- In a large measuring cup, combine the wine, Sherry vinegar, 1 teaspoon of salt and 2 teaspoons of pepper, whisking to dissolve the salt. Whisk in the 1/3 cup of olive oil until emulsified.
- Set aside ¼ cup of this mixture, then pour the remainder over the beef in a glass container or zip-top plastic bag.
- Add the chopped garlic and refrigerate, allowing the meat to marinate at least one hour.
- Pour the reserved red wine mixture into a large salad bowl.
- Boil the potato cubes in salted water until just tender. Drain the potatoes and while they are still warm, add them to the salad bowl and toss with the dressing.
- Remove the meat from the marinade and allow it to come to room temperature before searing. Discard the marinade.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- Add a teaspoon of oil to an iron skillet, using a small basting brush to distribute evenly, and heat over medium heat until the oil is almost smoking.
- Pat the meat completely dry with paper towels, add to the hot pan and sear until it is well browned on all sides (1-2 minutes per side), then transfer the skillet to the oven.
- Allow the meat to cook 6-8 minutes, turning it halfway through, until the internal temperature reaches 130-135 degrees for medium rare.
- Remove the beef from the skillet, place on a plate and tent loosely with foil, allowing it to rest for 10 minutes.
- Chop the beef into ½- to 1-inch chunks and add to the salad bowl.
- Add the tomatoes, blue cheese, greens and croutons and toss gently to combine.
- Serve in deep bowls, scattering pickled onions over the top and grinding on additional black pepper at the table.
Quick Pickled Red Onions
- Combine salt, juniper berries and Sherry vinegar in a small bowl, whisking to dissolve the salt.
- Add the water and the sliced onions and let sit at room temperature for one hour.
- Use right away, or store in their brine in the refrigerator. These stay good for at least a few days, and are great on salads, sandwiches and burgers or as an accompaniment to grilled meats.

Superbugs No Longer Ride In Rescue Vehicles
Jan 15, 2014, 08:47 ET
PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla., Jan. 15, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- In an unprecedented effort to curb the spread of "superbugs" such as MRSA, C. difficile and TB in ambulances and other transport vehicles, an advanced and portable UV germicidal lamp manufactured by MRSA-UV is now being used by rescue personnel for the first time.
In order to prevent EMS paramedics and transport patients from coming in contact with these deadly pathogens, West Palm Beach Fire Rescue is the first in the nation to begin sanitizing the interior surfaces of its ambulance fleet with this innovative and portable UV light.
President of MRSA-UV Chris Chilvers points out that, "Unfortunately, manual cleaning of all high touch surfaces is time consuming, and recent studies indicate that it misses over 50% of all surface-surviving pathogens." Not only do these surfaces become a home for contagious microbes, but transport victims can unknowingly be carriers of many types of superbugs. "There simply isn't enough time on every call to perform nasal swabs to verify that patients are not harboring dangerous pathogens," says MRSA-UV sales director Merritt Walker.
MRSA-UV's portable Turbo-UV Ambulance Sanitizer thoroughly sanitizes the patient compartment of ambulances in less than 15 minutes, and that space can be safely reoccupied the moment the light powers off. Patients and paramedics are now assured that they have an added layer of protection with the most sterile ambulances possible.
UV germicidal lamps are well known to be both rapid and effective at destroying surface-to-air bacteria, viruses and mold, but until now this portable technology did not exist for ambulances. Turbo-UV offers a clean, green and affordable hands-free method for disinfecting all transportation vehicles.
EMS Chief Brian Lamb of West Palm Beach Fire Rescue is now using the Turbo-UV not only to sanitize his ambulances, but also his barracks, fire equipment and turnout gear. Chief Lamb has conducted his own studies, and after performing numerous before-and-after swab tests he confirms the effectiveness of UV germicidal light.
"We must protect ourselves first if we want to serve our community at the highest level possible," says Lamb. "We owe it to each other to look at the science, and anything that shows me it will increase the safety of my staff and their families as well as our transport patients is something we must adopt."

TITLE: If you don't like reading about fun then this is not the article for you. OR: How we spent Saturday getting our cornfed on.

"Iowa State Fair Misty-Colored Memories" Glamour shot
This self-pic (with soft focus second pic overlay) features my jorts-clad thigh, my all-business Nike fanny pack and vintage plastic purple visor hangin' from my fanny pack waist buckle.
We went to "the Fair." The Fair, you know, the one that Martha Stewart used to (still?) attends top-secret-like to recon the preserves, pies, crafts and all things homespun? Yes, I am talking about the Iowa State Fair, held in Des Moines every August. To be sure, I am a late to the party in going to this annual event. This year is only the second time I have ever attended, however, I am a most fervent and evangelical convert.
Why? Who cares? What's the big deal about going to this damn Fair and why is she still capitalizing "fair" as "Fair?" Is Tonya German? I thought she was all about being so Irish? Will she ever stop with this odd capitalization tomfoolery?
These are all questions that I know that you, dear reader, are asking me in your head. Right now. I get it. Now quit thinking about asking me questions and refocus because I have so much to tell you!
The fair has been around since before the turn of the century (don't make me Google it). I saw the actual date (but promptly forgot it. 1854 maybe) on a globe sculpture in front of the "Ag" building where they make and show the life-size butter cow. Let's talk about the butter cow for just a sec. I did not take photos of that for you because every blogger takes pictures of that damn cow (the cow that looks the same every year and it is probably just kept in cold storage to fool us all). But not me, no, I took photos of deep-fried food (of which everyone also always takes photos) and a dude carrying a backpack printed with a image of a nude woman wearing pot-leaf pasties (I can't find that pic at this moment but if I find it, I will post it) and a fetus swathed in a poly stretch tube top (hang on and you shall be rewarded).
Let's start off with this fact. FACT: Unconventional deep-fried food is an insanely brilliant fair food gimmick and I fell for it. HARD. Mostly for the edification of my dear readers, I purchased and tasted the following items:
1. Deep-Fried Oreos™
2. Deep-Fried Butter on a Stick
3. Jumbo Corn Dog
4. Iowa Pork Producers™ Grilled Pork Chop on a stick.
Let's go in order. The deep-Fried Oreos™ came in a basket that looked like this:

The cookies were double-stacked, drizzled with Hershey's chocolate syrup and were actually very cake-y. Not very exciting or as naughty (I'm normally a very healthy eater) as I had hoped for. I needed to BE BAD. REAL BAD. The "out of my zip code rule" kind of bad.
So, this brings me to number 2 on the list. Deep-fried stick of butter on a stick. It made me gag a little last year when I heard of it. But this year, I just needed more. I was different than last year. I needed the thrill. It looked like this:

"La Beurre à la Carnivale du Cardiologiste"
Iced with a little old-fashioned glaze, the butter on a stick smelled really good actually. Like a Krispy Kreme™ hot glazed donut. Was this renegade enough? No! It was no more rebellious than a damn chain-store donut! So the logical next step was captured in this photo:
"XXX Heart-Breaker" ©T.Kehoe-Anderson 2012
I call this "fine art" photo, "XXX Heart-Breaker" because it is literally liquefied pooled interior butter dripping onto a deep-fried Oreo™. DID I EAT THIS? NO, HELL NO. I did not eat this. Are you nuts? I just wanted to see what would happen if I did it and I wanted to make great art that will stand the test of time (a.k.a. a masterpiece) Totally a success! It looked awful but smelled really good and I am still trying to reconcile that disparity betwixt my head and my gut. Also, great artists submit iPhone photos to StockPix.com.uk.net, right? Good.
Time for proteins. Obviously, this author is very concerned about gathering a well-balanced meal at the fair. It sure burns a lot of calories walking around all day trying to take photos of livestock testes (holy shit HUGE!), photobombing every possible stranger's photos, relishing people's interesting sartorial choices and not getting run over by people driving bogged-down Rascal carts.
Back to the list, so, the corn dog coating with mustard was good (I don't like hot dogs) and the pork chop ($6) was amazing. Now that I am back at home, I kind of want to put all of our dinner meat on sticks, as it makes eating a million times more fun than slogging through boring old no-sticks meat.
Lastly, as I wrap this year's Iowa State Fair report that no one actually asked me to write, I note that in places I have made up some authentic-sounding French words and I am not sure where that came from but, as is my wont, I am going with it so let's all agree to not check any French dictionaries or consult any kind of language experts at all. Instead, let's look at a few more of these shall we?
OH! Plus the most emotional, most francais-looking picture I took all day...

Dr. Stavrou Speaks On
Religion In Soviet Union
Soviet Union" in convocation Tues-day,
November 23.
Dr. Stavrou, of Greek back-ground,
learned English in British
schools on his native island of
Cyprus. He came to the United
States in 1952, receiving a Master's
Degree in history from Indiana
University in 1957.
Further studies in the Russian
and East European Institute at
the same school led to his doc-toral
dissertation on Russian
dealings in the Balkan area. He
was awarded the doctorate de-gree
in Russian history in 1961.
Especially interested in the his-torical
Russian contacts with the
Balkan Orthodox church, Dr. Stav-rou
has continued research into
these relations since receiving his
doctoral degree. For this reason he
chose to examine the life of Por-firii
Uspenskii, a 19th Century
leader in establishing protectionist
policies of the Russian Czar to-ward
Balkan orthodoxy.
Opportunity for intensive study
of Uspenskii's life was afforded Dr.
Stavrou when he received a re-search
grant through the Cultural
Exchange program for study last
year in the Soviet Union. He spent
the year at the University of Len-ingrad
doing the research from
which he has culled the background
material for a biography on Uspen-skii.
As a committed Christian, Dr.
Stavrou is anxious to obtain an
accurate idea of the position of
religion in the Soviet Union to-day.
While pursuing his studies
he lived in the student complex
at the University of Leningrad
and thus learned about students'
religious attitudes.
He also attended services of many
denominations and talked with pas-tors
and parishioners about mo-dern-
day religious trends.
Dr. Stavrou speaks six foreign
languages including Greek, Rus-sian,
French, Italian, German and
Turkish. He has used this training
in additional overseas study under
The week is climaxed by the a Ford Foundation grant as direc-tor
of the International Center at

The Bethel debate team matched
wits again in Twin Cities Debate
League competition at the Univer-sity
of Minnesota November 9. De-bating
against River Falls, the Uni-versity
of Minnesota and Macales-ter,
one Bethel B Division team
went undefeated.
Jeani Stephens and Kathy Harvie
also were awarded top speaker
points for their division. They com-peted
against 66 other speakers
from Twin Cities schools.
In competition against such
schools as Eau Claire, St. John's,
the University of Minnesota, and
Macalester, the team chalked up
10 wins to 5 losses.
Bethel College was represented
in the A Division by Sharon Lar-son
and Tim Williams (2-1) and Eva
Swanson and Paul Johnson (1-2).
Shirley Arbore, Corinne Leppke,
Joe Beitler, and Bill Jackson alter-nated
speaking on the same team
to win by 2-1.
Ken Collins and Dave Nydegger

Alpha Theta Psi, the Bethel
psychology club, will publish the
first edition of its jounrnal "The
Bulletin" during Jaunary, 1966.
"The Bulletin" will be a means
wherein psychology majors as well
as those with a specific interest
in psychology may express their
views, theories, and methodologies.
"The Bulletin" will be published
bi-annually appearing during the
months of February and June.
All manuscripts submitted must
meet the following qualifications:
1. They must conform to the
usages of the American Psy-chological
Association publica-tion
2. All experimental studies must
constitute a specific contribu-tion—
discover something.
3. All manuscripts must be pre-sented
not less than one month
prior to publication in order
to be published in that journal.
Subject matter that will be in-cluded
in the journal is:
1. Speeches, symposiums, techni-cal
reports, term papers.
2. Reviews of the literature.
3. Statistical articles.
4. Methodological articles.
5. Empirical studies.
Thirteen seniors and five Bethel
juniors are nominees to Who's
Who Among Students in American
Universities and Colleges for the
school year 1965-66.
The election was conducted joint-ly
by the Student Senate and the
Student Service Office. Upperclass-men
voted for the individuals on
leadership ability, good citizenship,
and promise of future effective-ness.
Nominees have at least 3.0 av-erages

A highlight of the program will
be the presentation of three se-lections
from a series of seven

Believing it realistic and legi-timate
to schedule a concert on
the basis of strictly aesthetic
pleasure, Dr. Berglund hopes
that the cultural life of the cam-pus
will be stimulated and en-riched
by this addition, and that
it will result in a pleasurable

Broader Base Offered
For Missionary Projects
"Go ye therefore into all the world . . . " Think of the
sheer MILEAGE invested in Missions Week 1965 — returned
Conference missionaries, Bethel student missionaries, Peace
Corpsmen, SPAN'ers, individual students and faculty members
who've traveled abroad!
And our handful is only partially representative of the
incredible number of American based student-aid projects to
foreign countries: Junior Year Abroad programs, National
Science Foundation linguistical study, the Fulbright scholar-ships,
to name a few.
The impact of the American college student's idealistic
fascination with lay tasks in the lesser developed world is
revolutionary for missions. "They'll force the missionaries
to re-define and specify their role, to return to the crux of
the Great Commission and PREACH the Gospel," says veteran
Indian missionary Paul Edwards.
Case in point is the dilemma of the Bethel Student Mis-sionary
Project described in Ton Klingberg's report of the
seminarians' visit to Conference Headquarters. Students lacking
"intensive language. and cultural preparation" and whose con-sequent
"duties" can largely be assumed by natives largely
depreciate their in field experience.
The suggestion to send fewer students for longer periods
is well founded. But a non-accredited full year program abroad
virtually requires a five year undergraduate program, especial-ly
for applicants in education programs.
To limit the program to two or three participants would
make application too highly selective and lose the variety of
locations. On the other hand, more cohesive financial support
could send recipients to the "big," non-western mission
fields of the Conference — India, Ethiopia, Japan, the Phil-lipines.
There is an intermediate solution: designation of a signi-ficant
share of the chapel offerings to underwrite expenses of
Bethel SPAN'ers who promise to do projects in missions or
native religions.
Typical SPAN projects are of the first order academically,
include "intensive language and cultural preparation" and are
accredited. The point of tension may be capitalized upon to
communicate the Gospel THROUGH the student aid programs.
Students View Lectures As Objective;
Discuss Religion and Communication
by Stan Aukema
Why on a Christian campus such
as Bethel is there seemingly so
little interest in a group such as
World Missions Fellowship? Why
do only two or three students find
time to attend missionary prayer
Does this indicate a serious lack
of concern among students for the
needs of our world? Or does the
fault lie within W.M.F. itself? Per-haps
one explanation is that a gen-eral
misunderstanding exists about
the purpose of W.M.F. This article
is written with the hope that some
of these misconceptions might be
W.M.F. is an organization for
all students. It is not a tightly-knit
group of "future mission-aries."
Its main goal is to stimu-late
interest in and present the
importance of world missions in
our day.
Further goals are to promote
definite prayer for missionaries, to
study mission fields and their
needs, to explore different phases
of missionary work, to provide fel-lowship
for students with common
interests, and finally to help pre-pare
and inspire future mission-aries.
What attempts are made to ful-fill
these goals? One attempt is
through regular meetings which
may range from informal discus-sions
to dinner meetings. Speakers
representing many phases of mis-sionary
work and from diverse
areas of the world are heard.
The missionary prayer bands
also play an important role. They
meet at a regular time and place

Obviously I am inclined to give
a rather large boundary to what

I do feel, if nothing else,
that a poem should be the med-ium

Minneapolis St. Paul, the gateway to the upper-Northwest and
the home of the Minnesota Twins, has more than these attractions
working in its favor claims the newly appointed St. Paul Arts and
Sciences' director, George Schaefer.
"There's no place outside of New York where you can get the
great variety and quality in the arts that you have in this area," claims
Schaefer. The guantlet of cultural activities that one can attend in a
week are astounding.
A selected list might read the following: Monday, November 11.15,
The Minneapolis Symphony String Quartet; Tuesday, 11-16, "Richard
the III" at the Guthrie Theatre; Wednesday, 11-17, A German Music
Ensemble, The Studo der Fruher Music or Robert Goulet and Com-pany;
Thursday 11-18, "The Miser" at the Guthrie or any number of
art exhibits at a variety of galleries in the area.
Friday, 11-19, several plays, an abundance of music groups or the
Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra in their regular subscription series
at Northrup Auditorium, featuring pianist Eugene Istomin and the
Minneapolis premier of Copland's Music for a Great City.
Saturday, 11-20, Why Are You Taking Pictures of Me Through
Your Nose? at the Eastside Theatre in St. Paul. Sunday afternoon, 11-21,
The Minneapolis Symphony's Adventures in Music Series features
lighter music and interesting situation presentations.
Monday evening, November 22, the Bethel College Choir presents
its fall concert consisting of some secular and some sacred compositions.
Selections from H.M.S. Pinafore will be included in the concert as well
as negro spirituals, love songs, and sacred classics.
The Walker Art Center, the Minneapolis Institute of Arts and the
University of Minnesota Galleries all have exhibits of art well worth
attending. The Katherine Nash exhibit at the Walker Art Center is
perhaps the finest showing now in the Twin City area. The Institute
closes its annual sale next Sunday afternoon with the 50th anniversary
showing going through on to January 2, 1966.
The Cumberland Singers will be appearing at the Coffee House
Extempore this coming weekend, November 19 and 20. They will
present a program of folk music at 9:30, 10:30 and 11:30 each evening.
The Extempore is located at 2200 Riverside Avenue in Minneapolis.
Minneapolis Symphony tickets are usually available in a limited
quantity for the Friday evening subscription concerts. Tickets are
$1.25 and must be purchased before noon of the Friday of the concert.
Advance sales are encouraged. Watch the music bulletin board for

St. Thomas Reviewer Applauds
Dramatic Power Of 'Dr. Faustus'
Al Bauer is the news editor of
the St. Thomas College AQUIN
and is a member of Sigma Delta
Chi, the national journalism fra-ternity.
Mrs. Karen Sloan's review of
Foley Theatre's "A Man for All
Seasons" will appear in the
AQUIN next Week.
by Al Bauer
The aim of every actor and
director should be to produce a
play that will lift the audience
from their seats to the stage so
that the people might enjoy and
learn from the drama.
"Dr. Faustus," presented Novem-ber
11-14 in the Bethel College
Auditorium, did just this and per-haps
a bit more.
It was the type of play that
caused the audience to think. It
was acted by a cast that knew
more than the lines they knew
and communicated the feelings
of their characters, thus bring-ing
the audience to the stage.
And once on the stage, the audi-ence
had to work and sweat
with Faustus from birth to death.
The stage itself was one of the
most effective tools of the produc-tion.
It jutted out into the audi-ence
and invited the people to join
Faustus in his search for truth.
In the two most trying scenes—
first where Fautus signs with his
blood a pact with the devil and
second, where Fautus meets the
seven cardinal sins—one had the
feeling and impulse that he could
and should step forward, grab
Faustus by the arm and explain
the meaning of life, death, heaven
and hell.
Director Dale Rott's comment
about this type of staging was,

My poor Son! Heed now the
advice of thy poor Father if thou
art so foolhardy as to entangle
thyself so wretchedly premanently
with one or several of thy favorite
If thou hast truly made up thy
mind to propose, pick the occasion
and circumstances most carefully.
Choose not the moonlit evening,
the view overlooking some roman-tic
spot, with Richard Burton soft-ly
encouraging — much to much
like thine own conscience — "I'd
rather be a married man."
Do it not whilst giving private
displays of affection in the (gagh)
Hagstrom Lounge, for it is pri-vately
Choose thou not the moment of
passion when a proposal would
appear to be a natural develop-ment
of the situation, for then
the proposal becomes a product
of the circumstances, and its in-trinsic
impact is lost.
But if thou must, do it well—
perhaps during a sweet and ro-mantic
number at a recital or
concert. And, peradventure she re-fuseth
thee, thou needest not make
excuses, but merely lose thyself
once again in the music. Remem-ber
to make the proposal the
item of significance, not the cir-cumstances.
As to the announcement of
your surrender, shout it not
from the lofty peaked tower,
of theater and study it, it seems
to be the best to work with."
After seeing "Dr. Faustus," one
can only agree with him.
In addition to the stage and in
spite of a dimmer-fuse failure, the
lighting was perhaps the most ef-fective
an audience will see. The
coordinated use of lights, stage
and actors is an example that
shows that the director and actors
knew more than the lines.
After watching the play there is
the distinct impression that Bethel
College could produce with mean-ing
the most trivial work written.
"Dr. Faustus" does not seem to
end with the concluding scene.
It is a play written, directed and
with the clanging of much noise
from the squat little tower that
sits upon the knob of the hill.
But rather, I say, permit the
damsel to shock one friend with
the news. From thence, admit
nothing; deny nothing — for the
rumor shall blaze before thee as
fire on the prairie. And thou
shalt have many wondrous, per-sonal
shock effects, rather than
one, blase, "proper" announcement.
And upon the giving of a dia-mond:
If she hath any wits about her,
she will firmly forswear her
desire for a diamond long be-fore
one ever appeareth upon
the horizons of her future, and
if thou hast any wits about
thee, thou wilt agree with her.
And when thou proposeth, thou
wilt sadly lament upon thy re-sources
being woefully inadequate
to give such a deserving young
lady a diamond.
And she will again forswear.
And after the first shock hath
worn off a bit, then wilt thou
produce the second, slipping it on
her finger whilst enumerating var- •
ious and sundry items that thou
hast picked up when thou hadst
gone downtown that morning. And
then shall every wall crumble.
But above all, remember always
to make the event to be paramount
above the situation!
acted so that it lives in the
mind of the audience.
Considering the nature of the
Speech Department's productions
—religiously oriented productions
dealing with man's relationship to
God and man—and basing success
upon the ability of the cast to
urge the audience to thought and
an evaluation of virtue, "Dr. Faus-tus"
was a smash.

Each year the Seminary seniors
make a pilgrimage to the Mecca
of the Baptist General Conference.
It is an expense-paid trip to Chi-cago
for denominational orienta-tion
at headquarters where, dur-ing
four days, every Conference
office is open to us and the secre-taries
make thorough descriptive
We were guests at a motel near
the headquarters and fed mostly
by the kitchen arts of Conference
ladies. The evenings allowed social
and recreational diversions to
downtown or Old Town (Chicago's
beat street).
As the several administrative
boards bombed us with informa-tion
and materials there was
some time for our questions. I
did think, however, of what Phil-lips
Brooks said of religious con-ventions:
the speeches are like
"towing ideas out to sea and
then escaping by small boats in
the fog."
The Conference does not lack
organization or capable organiza-tion
men. There was far too little
time for interchange on philosophy,
theory, and theology.
It is clear that the Chicago ex-ecutives
are a hard-working and
lonely set, and the myriad pres-sures
leave them no time for re-phrasing
basic questions. It is high
time for some of us to help them
out with specific evaluations and
suggestions—and they want that.
The ecumenical debate hardly
came to mind and I think there
is small chance of any radical
Conference moves. If you don't
believe me, ask Monsignor Gor-
Wednesday, November 17, 1965
don Johnson or Cardinal Lloyd
Dahlquist. It is good that there
is a readiness to think and talk
about the issues, however.
Bethel's student missionary pro-ject
was a live question. Mission-aries
in the fields find that unpre-pared
three-month visits by stu-dents
cannot be expected to con-tribute
significantly to their work.
The main justification for the cost
of sending students must rest in
benefits here on campus.
I suggest an eventual termina-tion
of the present summer project
in favor of sending fewer students
for longer terms. Candidates could
be found who would give a year
following intensive language and
cultural preparation.

KIL14.. ike- • 5' ttl by Ron Harris
Ron Harris fills in for regular columnist Jim Brand as he
describes training for the Bethel wrestling team, of which he is
a member.
As football and cross-country fade slowly into the background, the
scene of sports action has shifted from the chilly outdoors to the
stuffiness of the fieldhouse.
Basketball abounds upstirs while the hole", a wrestling room
resembling more an ancient Egyptian crypt than a modern building
complex, is filled with panting wrestlers, going through moves, and in
effect, putting into practice the theory of Ira Wolf ert.
The theory is not an innovation for wrestling alone, but has been
utilized since the sad disappointments of the pre-1932 Olympic track
and field run-offs. It was here that not one of the pre-Olympic cham-pions
could qualify for the team on the basis of his winning perform-ance.
The secret to success, claim modern day coaches, is that athletes
now train "past the point of fatigue." Just before a race, runners will
warm up to this point. Paradoxial? "Not at all," respond Big-Ten
Fatigue increases the rate of the heart-beat and the flow of oxygen
to the lungs, making for what is known in athletic realms as "the
second wind." But instead of struggling to get it during a race, today's
runners achieve it before the race begins by passing the point of fatigue.
Coach Dan Phelps, aware of this new theory, is struggling to get his
men in the best of physical condition. "Conditioning is a key factor,"
relates the Colorado State College graduate. "But I expect our experi-enced
men to provide us with depth. Bob Baffa, Denny Nyholm, Dan
Wilson, Warren Johnson, John Benson and Ron Harris should give
us our experience."
Nyholm and Johnson were conference champions last year in a
meet where Bethel placed second. The new wrestlers this year include
Bruce Armstrong, Mike Warring, Woody Dahlberg, Bruce Hawkinson,
Keith Davis, Steve Brown, Curt Johnson, Randy Inouye and Paul Ander-son.
A stickler for conditioning, Coach Phelps put his troops through
another day of chain-wrestling, sprint-takedowns, and wound up with
more running laps and paunts up the ropes. "We'll win," claims the
coach optimistically. His confidence is of the catchy nature, especially
when it's combined with hard work. And do you know what? I think
we will win.

This week's Intramural Football
featured the coldest weather thus
far as well as one of the most
important games.
Last week the race for the foot-ball
championship was spread out
a little, but this week's action
tightened it up even more.
The Seminary, playing a great
defensive g a m e, outdid the
Squires 8-0. The Squires, also
showing a good defense, were
able to come within ten yards
of the Seminary goal line, but
were never able to push the ball
Late in the second half Terry
Muck intercepted a Seminary pass
but in trying to run it out he was
caught in his own end zone. It
was ruled a safety and the Sem-inary
had its first score.
The next time the Seminary
got the ball, Bob Clouse threw a
pass to Bruce Erickson who was
standing in the end zone. The
extra point failed and the score
stood at 8-0.
Some comments heard after the
game were as follows: "A very
even game," and, "G o o d de-fense,"
from two spectators.
"The name of the game has
changed to defense," from the
Seminary captain.
The standings now show the
Squires and Seminary tied for the
league lead with 6-1 records. Next
week, however, these standings
could change as the Seminary takes
on the Knights and the Squires
take on a very good Peasant team.

In case you were wondering about notable science events that occurred the week of July 18th…
|photo credit: disoculated
On July 19, 1963, Joe Walker flew a North American X-15 to a record height of 347,800 feet. Under international convention, this constitutes spaceflight. He was also the first man to fly into space twice. Joe Walker's test flights were beneficial to NASA and the entire space program. It was only six years later that NASA successfully reached the moon.
"That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind." On July 20, 1969, Neil Armstong and Buzz Aldrin become the first men to set foot on the moon during the Apollo 11 mission. From start to finish, the entire Lunar mission took just over 8 days. (Coming soon: your chance to be a fly on the shuttle wall of this extraordinary mission.)
On July 21, 1931, CBS' New York City station began broadcasting the first regular, seven day a week television schedule in the U.S. By the end of the year, CBS was broadcasting for seven hours a day, seven days a week. Now you can buy a set of knives or a juicer through the Home Shopping Network twenty-four hours a day, every day.
On July 24, 1911, Hiram Bingham III rediscovered Machu Picchu, more commonly known as the "Lost City of the Incas." The city was built in the 1450's, but was abandoned only a hundred years later during the Spanish conquest.

It's been a while since I've written a book post. I've been juggling multiple books at once so I thought I would write a general suggestion post instead of a post focused on just one book.
Quick, Easy Reads
– The Shopaholic series by Sophie Kinsella. You're probably familiar with the hilarious movie starring Isla Fisher.
The books are even funnier. They follow Becky Bloomwood on her adventures as a twenty-something trying to make a living in London. Along the way she gets herself into many tough situations because of her fibbing habit and her desire to appear more than she is, with her shopping obsession being the number one cause of all her problems. The series begins with single Becky in London and moves on to see her move to New York, get married, and have a baby. Admittedly I haven't finished the series yet because I'm saving the rest of the books for when I need a quick read with plenty of laughs.
– Romance novels. Can't help it. They allow you to escape to a world that never existed while not judging you for pretending like they could. Through both undergrad and grad school I used romance novels as a way to relax after reading the heavy texts required for my courses. My favorite authors are Julia Quinn and Julie Garwood.
Young Adult
The young adult genre is marketed towards the young adult crowd (generally 14-21) but appeals to readers of all ages because it deals with everyday issues every person has experienced.
– Harry Potter series.
I know this isn't everyone's cup of tea but I love the HP family. Books and movies. For me it goes beyond a wizard fighting another wizard to the death. I see connections to bigger world events, such as the Holocaust. English majors can't really help seeing more than what might be there! However, since I started reading the series before graduating high school I'll say that what first appealed to me was that even though the characters have magical powers and the ability to kill and bring life with a stick of wood, they are still fighting the same battles we are. They still deal with bullying, friendship, awkwardness, school, authority, love. The characters, at their core, are the same as you and me.
– The Hunger Games trilogy.
Again, not everyone's cup of joe, but I love them. My brother recently asked me if they were girly and, as a girl, I had a hard time answering that. I'd like to say no, because I know that they appeal to both boys and girls, but the novels center around a love triangle, which is characteristically a girly-theme. But I think the trilogy appeals to boys because of the "fight to the death" basis of the Hunger Games. I know this trilogy appeals to everyone because my 12-year-old cousin Matthew was reading them, which then got my 82-year-old Grandma interested. I was reading them at the same time and realized people I graduated with were obsessed with the trilogy too. So go on, read them. And good news! For those of you who like a movie to go along with your book, the first movie is coming out Spring 2012 and stars Jennifer Lawrence, Liam Hemsworth (yum), Woody Harrelson, Lenny Kravitz, and more!
– The Matched Trilogy.
I just started reading these. The first novel (Matched) and the second (Crossed) are out. I have no idea when the third is coming out, but it's fun to wait! This trilogy is not as good as the Hunger Games, but it's quick and keeps you guessing. Matched is definitely a girly series so I wouldn't necessarily recommend it to my brother, but if you're in the mood for something quick, not too challenging, and interesting, then you should try it. However, don't be waiting for any literary genius or theory connections in this trilogy. I haven't found them yet.
– Parable of the Sower by Octavia Butler. I read this in grad school for and ecofeminism class and instantly fell in love. I just learned now that it is the first in a two-novel series. I think I'll have to get the second. Parable follows Lauren, a minister's daughter, as she travels across America after her community was ruined by social chaos. Along the way she picks up followers and so begins a journey for survival. If you're into dystopian novels like I am, then this is a must read.
Victorian Novels
If you want to start reading Victorian novels, might I suggest these…
– Daniel Deronda by George Elliot. By far my favorite novel. By far not the best novel to start with if you've never read Victorian novels. It is tough to get through and, sticking to the Victorian novel rules, very long. But I love it and that should be enough to make you want to read it.
– Tess of the D'Urbervilles by Thomas Hardy. Hardy takes a hard look at the sexual hypocrisy of Victorian England by sharing Tess's story. Tess comes from a poor family who, after learning of their connection to wealthy d'Urbervilles, sends Tess to claim a portion. Tess is seduced and then bears a child in secret who dies in infancy. After she finds love and solace in another man, he abandons her on their wedding night after learning of her past. Hardy takes Tess through a series of passionate events that lead her to her escape from her past. This novel is a good one to start with because it doesn't have the rigidity of most Victorian novels. Instead, it takes that rigidity and incorporates it into the novel by throwing it back in its face.
– Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë. Who doesn't love a female protagonist, secret love-affair, and crazy people?
I was never interested in history and was always my worst subject in school. My Mom would get my historical novels to try and get me to learn, and it worked. Recently I started getting into reading biographies of females. I started with Marie Antoniette which was inspired by Sofia Coppola's movie. Then I moved on to Elizabeth I. And now I am about to start The Six Wives of Henry VIII.
Biographies can be hard to read unless you find your perfect author. Mine is Antonia Frasier. She has a way of writing biographies that reads more like a story and not so much like a history text. Allow me to suggest Frasier's Marie Antoinette. I'll let you know if I suggest The Six Wives of Henry VIII.
Hopefully that gave you some ideas for your next read. I'll keep adding to this!

Yale Hosts Doubleheaders With Princeton Friday, Cornell Saturday

- WTNH News 8 New Haven Weather
NEW HAVEN, Conn. – The Yale softball team hopes a return to the friendly confines of Dewitt Family Field will provide it with a spark. After playing their last 10 games on the road, the Bulldogs begin a 10-game home stand with a pair of important Ivy League doubleheaders. Yale (7-17, 1-3 Ivy) hosts Princeton on Friday at 2 p.m. and then gets a visit from Cornell on Saturday at 12:30 p.m. Free audio from Yale All Access will be available on both days.
Jennifer Ong continued her recent hot streak by getting three hits in Wednesday's doubleheader at Rhode Island. She has at least one hit in 10 of the 11 games and is hitting .405 over that stretch. Overall, she leads the team in hits (27), RBI (12) and average (.333). Tori Balta and Riley Hughes are each off to fast starts in Ivy play. Both batted .333 in the four league games last weekend.
One of the positives to come out of Wednesday's doubleheader was the performance of pitcher Kristen Leung. Leung tossed 5.2 innings in the second game, struck out three and yielded only one earned run.
Princeton (6-19, 2-2 Ivy) is coming off a doubleheader split with Seton Hall on Tuesday. Liz Kuhn tossed a four-hit shutout in the opener. She leads the staff in wins (3), ERA (3.73) and strikeouts (62). Alex Peyton leads the Tigers with five home runs and 19 RBI. Nicole Ontiveros has a team-best .337 batting average.
Yale had a very productive offensive day at Princeton last year. Ong and Christy Nelson both homered as the Bulldogs cruised to a 9-0 victory in the first game. Ong homered again in the second game, one of 15 Yale hits, but the Bulldogs dropped a wild, 13-12 decision.
As always, Cornell (12-13, 3-1 Ivy) features a potent offense. The Big Red has out homered its opponents 26-8. Erin Keene and Jenny Edwards share the team lead with five home runs apiece. Edwards is the younger sister of former Yale player Katie Edwards '09. Lauren Marx (2.08 ERA), Jenna Stoller (3.05) and Alyson Onyon (3.66) have handled a majority of the pitching duties for Cornell, which plays a doubleheader at Brown on Friday.
The Big Red swept a doubleheader from Yale last year in Ithaca, and has won the last 15 meetings with the Bulldogs.

Across the board agricultural commodities sold off this week as speculators continued to liquidate long positions ahead of year end and the looming fiscal cliff. Contributing to the sell-off is an improved weather forecast for South America as well as cancellations of 10 cargoes of U.S. soybeans destined for China due to weak crush margins. On Thursday, the Buenos Aires Cereal Exchange estimated that Argentine corn plantings were 45% complete, while soybean plantings had reached 22%. While well below last year pace, plantings are in line with historical averages. Brazilian soybean plantings are expected to have reached 65% - 70% by early next week. For the week Jan-13 soybeans were off nearly $.70 per bu. having traded down to their lowest levels since late June-2012. Wheat prices continue to slide pressured by weak exports and lack of announced export restrictions from Eastern Europe, this despite continued deteriorating conditions for the US winter wheat crop. For the week prices were off $.40 - $.50 while spot Dec-12 wheat traded down to its lowest level since early July-2012. While corn was down $.10 - $.20 this week, prices were able to hold key chart support just above the $7.00 level. Fueling a late week rebound are indications more global demand will shift to the U.S. as port congestion in Brazil leads to continued delays with their corn exports. Also on Friday the EPA denied a request to waive the renewable fuel standard requiring refiners to blend 13 billion gallons of ethanol into our countries fuel supply. Back to news

Tahiti Sights
The coastal road that circles the exterior of both Tahiti Nui and Iti is measured in pointe kilometrique markers, known as PKs. PK0 begins in Pape'ete and markers go in both clockwise and counterclockwise directions, meeting in Taravao, which is PK60 counterclockwise and PK54 clockwise.
The west coast has the most sights and the most traffic; it's wise to set out early on a driving
tour to avoid peak-hour traffic. Grab a map so you know whether a sight is at PK10 clockwise or counterclockwise. While the distances are not far, there is quite a lot to see on the west coast—beaches, surf breaks, museums, gardens and an excellent golf course—and it may take much longer than you think.
Tahiti Nui also has a handful of short interior roads. While a standard car can access the roads to the Belvedere lookout, the Three Waterfalls, and the start of the walking and 4WD trails in the Papenoo Valley, it's not possible to cross the island from north to south, or south to north, without a 4WD.
The PK marker system also operates in Tahiti Iti, beginning in Taravao, the town at the isthmus. There are two roads: the north road of 18 km (11 mi) from Taravao to Tautira and the south road, also measuring 18 km (11 mi) from Taravao to Teahupoo. The southeast and east coasts of Tahiti Iti can only be accessed by boat, bicycle, or foot. There is one inland road, leading from near Taravao up onto the Taravao Plateau and Taravao's lookout, also called the Belvedere.

text: Hello, After some issues, I finally got SpamSnake setup completely. I was testing the spam filter before I put it in production and noticed that after I either learn/preview message/delete a message from baruwa, the web server will stop responding and I get a 504 Timed out. The issue will resolve itself If I reboot the server, however it comes right back when I preview a message in the quarantine. In the nginx error.log I am seeing this: 2013/01/03 09:38:49 [error] 2525#0: *167 upstream timed out (110: Connection timed out) while reading response header from upstream, client: (hidden), server: (hidden), request: "GET / HTTP/1.1", upstream: "uwsgi://unix:///var/run/uwsgi/app/baruwa/socket:", host: "(hidden)" Do you guys have any ideas?
