Taravella first-year boys' soccer coach Mike Goodrich knows his team grinds out games, hoping to achieve the "little things properly" because they can add up to wins and losses.
During the seventh minute of overtime, senior Darwin Espinal dribbled down the left side, turned the corner and beat a St. Thomas Aquinas defender before serving a cross to junior Alex Pacelko. The ball was deep and far enough that the goalkeeper couldn't get to it.
When junior Alex Guiteras tried to clear it out, he instead tapped it in for an own goal as the Trojans beat the Raiders 2-1 in the Region 3-5A semifinal Saturday night at Douglas High.
"As an ex-defender I've scored my share of those too," Taravella coach Mike Goodrich said. "I feel for him. Soccer sometimes you just don't get the breaks, but it was a well-played match by both teams. When we do the little things – winning balls in the air, getting back defensively, communicating, making runs for each other – then we're successful."
The Trojans (19-3-2) will face Boca Raton Tuesday night in the regional final. Earlier in the week, Taravella won its first regional game since 2003, the same year it captured its first and only state title.
It didn't take long for the Trojans to take a 1-0 lead — just two minutes into the game — on sophomore John Lewis' deflection on a cross from senior Estaban Ochoa. Ochoa had intercepted an Aquinas defender's pass inside the box intended for a teammate out wide.
St. Thomas Aquinas (15-3-3) evened it 10 minutes later when a Taravella defender failed to clear a cross from junior Matheus Ale inside the box. Freshman Travis Brumfield capitalized by stealing the ball and scoring..
Both goalkeepers kept the game tied with diving saves. The teams combined for 14 shots on goal by halftime, yet neither could punch in the go-ahead goal despite several chances during a scoreless second half.
"It feels great," junior Patrick Goodrich said. "At Taravella we haven't had that winning mentality. This year we finally have it and the talent to go far with this. We believe we can go far."
• Region 4-4A semifinal – Fort Lauderdale 4, American 3 (OT): Usually a two-goal deficit in soccer with three minutes to go in a regional playoff game spells one thing — elimination.
But nobody bothered to tell the Fort Lauderdale boys' soccer team. Hosting American in a Region 4-4A semifinal, the Flying L's scored twice in the last three minutes to tie the game, and then won it in the ninth minute of the first overtime.
The game-winner came when Oscar Salas fired a deep throw-in in front of the American net and Ralph Joseph caught it flush with his head and into the top left corner of the net to give his team a dramatic 4-3 victory.
Fort Lauderdale (17-7-1), already in its first-ever regional semifinal, now moves on to the regional final where the L's will either host Sebastian River on Tuesday afternoon at their school or travel to Stuart to take on Martin County.
"I don't think I've ever had a bigger goal in my life," said Joseph, a senior and team's leading scorer (24 goals) in the midst of being mobbed by his jubilant teammates. "Oscar [Salas] made a great throw-in and I saw I might be able to get a clean head on it and aimed top left. What a feeling. What a miracle."
The Patriots scored twice in the first 12 minutes of the second half on goals by Osmar Sequeira and Kevin Ramos to grab a 2-1 lead and then seemingly iced it in the 59th minute on a Diego Arcon goal.
Just three minutes away from the whistle blowing the end of their season, the L's cut the lead to one. Vladimyr Joseph trickled a loose ball in front of the net in. Then, with less than a minute left, Mycholnick Emile got to a ball in the corner just before it went out of bounds and centered it over the American keeper's head where Benjie Orelien was waiting for it and headed it in tying the game.
"I don't know, maybe destiny is in our corner or something but this is an amazing run that we don't want to end," said Fort Lauderdale coach Bentio Clerveaux. "It's a tribute to our kids that they kept playing hard and fighting even though things appeared to be hopeless."
"Just inexplicable what happened, but give [Ft. Lauderdale] the credit they deserve," said stunned American coach Richy Pelaez as he walked to the bus. "They kept on fighting and battling. Nothing like this has ever happened to me before and it's a tough one to swallow but we'll move on."
• Region 4-5A semifinal – Cypress Bay 1, West Broward 0: It was 76 frustrating minutes of soccer for the two-time defending state champion Cypress Bay boys' soccer team. Hosting West Broward in a Region 4-5A semifinal, a rematch of last week's district final, the Lightning dominated all night long and did everything but score.
Finally, just three-and-a-half minutes away from the game going into overtime as last week's district final did, Cypress Bay's Humberto Diaz headed in a perfect corner kick from Miguel Perez into the top left corner of the net to give the Lightning the 1-0 win and move them into Tuesday's regional final where they will host South Dade.
"Coach [John Ramos] just kept yelling to us to be patient and that it will come and finally it did," said Diaz, who watched his teammates outshoot West Broward 17-2 and hit the post or crossbar three times along the way. "Miguel [Perez] sent me a great corner and I knew I was in between two defenders so knew I would get a clean look at it."
"I just kept yelling the same thing to them, 'It's going to come, it's going to come,' " said Ramos, who saw his team improve to 16-2-4. "I could sense they were frustrated but felt it was just a matter of time before we finally popped one in and fortunately Miguel and Humberto came through with a great goal."
The Bobcats, who won their first-ever regional playoff game three days earlier against Miami Beach, finished 12-8-3.
• Region 4-3A Semifinal – American Heritage 3, Pembroke Pines Charter 0: Unlike the first two matches this season between American Heritage and Pembroke Pines Charter, which were both decided by a one-goal margin, American Heritage controlled the pace for most of the match as it defeated the Jaguars in the region 4-3A semifinal 3-0 in Plantation.
Julian Franco scored two goals for American Heritage (22-3-2). The Patriots will face Merritt Island in the regional final.
"We were hungry," Patriots coach Richard Jobson said. "My boys just wanted it a little bit more."
American Heritage broke through in the 29th minute on a Chris Mealer follow-up shot that the Jaguars could not clear out of the box to take a 1-0 lead.
The Patriots tacked on their second goal in the 48th minute. On a Jamar Campion-Hinds run on right wing, he crossed a pass into the box, which Franco knocked into an empty net to give the Patriots a 2-0 lead.
The few chances that Pines Charter (19-6-0) had on goal, the Patriots defense was able to recover and clear the ball out of its half of the field.
Franco added his second goal in the 79th minute to complete the scoring for the Patriots.
• Region 4-2A semifinal – Delray American Heritage 1, North Broward Prep 0: A sloppy first half, followed by an unexpected strategy from its opponent turned out to be North Broward Prep's downfall as it dropped its third out of four matches this season against visiting American Heritage-Delray.
The Eagles were unable to break down Heritage's defensive shell in the second half and ended its season with a 1-0 defeat against its district rival.
Heritage will face Gulliver in the regional semifinal Tuesday.
The lone score came in the 18th minute when the Stallions' Austin Mills hit a 15-yard shot near the left pole off Greg Joseph's pass from the middle.
The Stallions (19-3-2) managed to hold on while frustrating North Broward Prep (19-7) by placing six defenders in the backfield throughout the last 40 minutes of the game.
"I put three forwards (Josh Creighton, Jason Shortbridge, and Diego Montes) for most of the half," coach Diego Cardona said. "And yes, it was frustrating, but sometimes soccer is not a logical game."
"We didn't play as well in the first half when we had our chances." Eagles junior playmaker Mateo Correa said. "I thought maybe we were nervous, but in the second half we attacked better, but got frustrated with the way they stacked the back[field]."
In a match that saw plenty of sloppiness and physical play (seven yellow cards), the opportunities were sporadic with Heritage outshooting the Eagles 11-7
After the goal, the rest of the half was played with both teams struggling to work the ball cleanly past the midfield. Both teams had four shots on goal through the first 40 minutes of play.
• Region 4-1A semifinal – Sagemont 3, Posnack 0: Two late goals added to the Lions' 1-0 lead to put the game out of reach. Sagemont advances to regional finals where it will meet Hillel.
• District 14-3A final – Late Friday – Coral Springs Christian 47, Sagemont 41 – CSChr. (20-5): Bell 2, Williams 12, Fuller 8, White 10, Blake 15. SAG (18-8): Cole 3, Black 8, Rucker 2, Griffin 6, Correa 7, Marshall 15.
Late Friday – Pace 85, Chaminade 80 – MP: Thomas 6, Justinine 8, Fisher 26, Wilson 3, Ogugua 1, Duarte 29, Alvarez 7, Saintvil 2. Rebounds: Fisher 11. Assists: Justinine 6. Steals: Duarte 7.

In 2011, Grammy Awards were awarded in 109 categories. This year, that number has been slashed to 78.
Paradoxically, the televised length of the program will stay the same.
Music lovers unite
The 54th annual Grammy Awards will be broadcast on KUTV-Channel 2 Sunday, Feb. 12, at 7 p.m. Follow David Burger's live tweets from the awards ceremony at @dburger.

Many of the changes to the music awards elicit head-scratching.
In the Classical music category, the main award, Best Classical Album, has been discontinued. Classical recordings are now eligible to be nominated for the overall Album of the Year category — like that will ever happen.
Since last year, the distinction between male and female soloists in various pop, rock, R&B, country and rap has been eliminated. Which would make sense, if we could all agree that music fans have become a truly gender-neutral global community.
Getting respect this year is Kanye West, who tops the nominations with seven, despite receiving no nominations for Record of the Year or Album of the Year.
Adele, the Foo Fighters and Bruno Mars each garnered six nods, while Lil Wayne and Skrillex each got five. Drake, Paul Epworth, Cee-Lo Green, Philip Lawrence, Ari Levine, Nicki Minaj, Mumford & Sons, Radiohead, Rihanna and Bon Iver each received four.
But to West's probable dismay, it will likely be Adele who walks away with the most awards. In addition, she will perform during the ceremony for the first time in the five months — due to her recent vocal-cord surgery — which should produce the show's most talked-about moment. Especially if she tanks it.
Here are The Tribune's predictions of which music will most likely earn rewards, as well as what music we'd rather hear on the radio as we drive home today.
Record of the Year
"Rolling in the Deep" » Adele
"Holocene" » Bon Iver
"Grenade" » Bruno Mars
"The Cave" » Mumford & Sons
"Firework" » Katy Perry
Will win » "Rolling in the Deep" was an overwhelming commercial hit that also earned critical praise for its neo-soul stylings. Surprisingly, this proved a particularly strong category this year, with the only stinker being Katy Perry's "Firework," which contains the worst vocals ever recorded on a No. 1 album. So what if it has an inspirational message? It doesn't eliminate the fact that she oversings throughout.
What I'd rather listen to » Bon Iver is the black sheep this year, since most people have no idea who Justin Vernon is and why he sounds as if he's been castrated. "Holocene" is a geological epoch that began at the end of the Pleistocene, which Vernon has said the song was partly named after. In addition, the song is partly named for a bar in Portland where he had a rough night. Well, I think he'll have a rough night at the Grammys, so I predict that soon he will release the song "Pliocene."
Album of the Year
"21" » Adele
"Wasting Light" » Foo Fighters
"Born This Way" » Lady GagaNext Page >

Idea: Global property tax to support environmental reform
The idea I am kicking around is to establish a global agency, perhaps a party to the world court which would assess a tax on each person globally say one one thousandth of there properties value (local market value) times the estimated shares of mean carbon production they are responsible for, which would i grant you be hard to quantify, maybe it could be based on a per capita national average.
The tax could be levied against nations wishing to or having ever used the world court, and could be once a decade or whatever time interval seems good, the revenues would be available for the world courts foundation managers to disperse to address credit challenged projects that are of great environmental value.
Closing Statement from russell lester
Corperations constrained and taxed more here than anywhere else in the world. Which is why they put manufacturing in China. 25% or more of the pollution over Los Angeles comes from China. Problem is that the China is not under the purview of California law,
I have a rare book, it is called international Anarchy and it was written and published in the interval between the end of the first world war and the failure of the united states to ratify and empower the league of nations. The premise is that conflicts wars and struggles over the sea and air can be avoided if the nations agree to a code of law and mutually enforce it. This does not even require the individual nations to give up sovereignty, just the right to launch wars of aggression, and perhaps its time to include pollution of air water land and bio spheres to the list of mutually outlawed actions. Certainly I can see that you cannot fix problems by simply redistributing wealth, or at least not all problems, but what would the harm be in providing an incentive for developing nations to not pursue programs we know now are destructive to everyone? After all the wealth of the rich nations and the rich in those nations was made on the resources of other nations from time to time, plus it was the process of amassing that wealth or more accurately the process' which were used to do so which have caused such wide spread damage.

Nov 8 2012: This is why we might conclude that economics ceased to be a science or an investigation once it presupposed an engineering physics model as its methodological given. It became instead the defining software of a machinal system with no place for life in its money-sequence operations. Like the received dogma of another epoch, its formulations decoupled from reality in a scholastic formalism, its priesthood would not acknowledge the right of any but trained believers to speak on issues designated by the subject, and its iron laws subsumed all that lived as material ready to be made productive by transformation into the system's service. ... Yet it would be a very great mistake to simply reject economics as a resource of analysis. It provides an articulated lexicon of exact referents, operations and principles of the global market mechanism which it presupposes as the natural order. And its resources are invaluable in coming to understand the system of rule which the global market now implements across the world in its restructuring operations. One has to expose and understand the principles the doctrine assumes in order to examine and unmask their implications for life-organization. One has to follow the assumptions its theoreticians take as given to see the trail of consequences for reality which obedience to this unseen metaphysic unleashes on the world. One has to connect across the logical lattice of the covert value system the defining axioms and co-ordinates it bears to see what it means for the planetary life-web as an integrated whole. One has, in short, to do what the economist avoids as the explosion of his own identity – open up its value structure to examination.- John McMurty

The High Line's planting design is inspired by the self-seeded landscape that took root on the elevated rail tracks after the trains stopped running. The High Line includes more than 300 species of perennials, grasses, shrubs, and trees — chosen for their hardiness, adaptability, diversity, and seasonal variation in color and texture. Some of the species that originally grew on the High Line's rail bed are reflected in the park landscape today.
This week we share with you one of our Gardeners' current favorites.
This week, a new HIGH LINE BILLBOARD was installed next to the High Line at West 18th Street. April's installation features a cool-hued photograph by artist Ryan McGinley of a figure floating effortlessly through a vast blue background.
The levity of being and freeness evoked in the new installation complement the spring spirit at the park. As weather warms – slowly, but surely! – and new spring growth appears to the delight of visitors and High Line staff alike, the park is infused with the spirit of a new season ahead.
Photographer Timothy Schenck captured this photo of visitors in front of the new billboard earlier this week. Stop by before April 30 to see it yourself.
Learn more about Blue Falling.
Share your photos with us in the High Line Flickr Pool, or tag @highlineartnyc on Instagram or Twitter.
We are pleased to introduce you to Jennette Mullaney – social media guru, literary buff, art enthusiast, cat lover, and the latest addition to our staff at Friends of the High Line. As the new Digital Communications Manager, Jennette is working to share the High Line story and engage the park's fans around the world on our social media channels.
We asked Jennette to answer a few questions about herself and her plans for the High Line.
If you, like us, salivate over the glossy deliciousness found in the food section of New York magazine, then you saw this week's exciting announcement about spring eats at the High Line.
Lamb ribs, brisket sandwiches, and a delectable selection of pies are coming to the park this season—and that's just at the SmokeLine, the latest outpost of BrisketTown's Daniel Delaney. Beginning Friday, April 19, there will be nine food vendors on the High Line, offering tasty treats for your next al fresco breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
Follow us after the jump for a quick, hunger-panic-inducing introduction to this season of High Line Food.
Meow! The fur flew this Saturday during FeLine Friends of the High Line, the first annual cat festival on the High Line. From the Rail Yards Gate to the Gansevoort Woodland, hundreds of fuzzy felines and their human companions spent the day purring, napping, gossiping, and then napping again.
A bubble blowing machine, several dozen laser pointers, three 10-foot-long "Fun Tunnels," and all kinds of cardboard boxes kept the frisky felines entertained from morning till dusk. Volunteer Lucy Redoglia marveled at the high turnout as she flicked a feathered cat teaser for a clowder of mesmerized calicos. "After the Walker Art Center's Internet Cat Video Festival last August, I thought, 'New York should be doing something like this!'" she said.
It's official: the High Line's spring hours will begin on Monday, April 1.
Beginning on Monday, the park will be open daily, from 7:00 AM to 10:00 PM. Summer hours will begin on Saturday, June 1, with the park remaining open one hour later, until 11:00 PM.
We have just completed the fourth and final week of High Line Spring Cutback!
The High Line's plants are not trimmed back at the onset of cold weather in the fall. Instead the landscape is left intact to provide structure, beauty, and habitat throughout the winter. As spring arrives, Friends of the High Line staff and volunteers work together to cut back the plants to prepare for the new growing season. This horticultural effort, called High Line Spring Cutback, takes place throughout the entire month of March.
See photos from our last week of Spring Cutback after the jump.
Earlier this week, High Line Photographer Beverly Israely captured this interesting shot of the hollow stems of the Equisetum hyemale, or giant horsetail. This wetland species grows along the water feature on the Diller – von Furstenberg Sundeck, between West 14th and West 15th Streets.
As one of the park's neighbors and a member of Friends of the High Line, Beverly has been working to build a portfolio of photographs that celebrate the High Line's myriad textures and changes in the landscape's color and form over the four seasons.
With Spring Cutback nearly complete, you will find unusual textures along the High Line's landscape. The High Line's wild grasses, shrubs, and flowering perennials have been trimmed back to make way for the new growing season, and that means over the next couple of weeks, you'll see the landscape transform itself, as fresh green growth pops up all along the park.

Sixteen-year-old Winona Kay Holderbaum was amazed the first time she visited the High Line. "As a little girl, I used to pass by the overgrown bridge with my father, and I always wondered why no one could go up there," she says.
Winona is one of ten teens selected from among 90 applicants for this year's Green Corps program. Since January, the teens have been spending their afternoons at the High Line, earning a paycheck and receiving valuable job experience in fields like urban ecology, horticulture, and sustainability. This week is the teens' spring break, and they've been working daily at the park, helping the High Line Gardeners and High Line Educators complete Spring Cutback.

October 2014
OverviewThis project on SR 510 will reduce the potential for collisions and improve traffic flow for Thurston County motorists after building roundabouts at the intersections of SR 510 with Reservation Road and Yelm Highway.View the proposed new roundabouts (pdf 634kb).
Why is WSDOT
building roundabouts on SR 510 at the intersections with Reservation Road and Yelm Highway?
These intersections experienced a high rate of collisions and congestion during peak hours. Reconfiguring these intersections as roundabouts has a high potential for reducing the frequency and severity of collisions and improving mobility. WSDOT, Thurston County and the Nisqually Indian Tribe completed an Intersection Alternatives Study in 2011. This study found that constructing roundabouts at these two intersections would provide the most effective solution.The roundabout at these two intersections are meant to reduce the frequency and severity of collisions as well as improve traffic flow in the area. For more information on the benefits of roundabouts ...
The End Result
In this project, crews built roundabouts at the Yelm Highway and Reservation Road intersections. SR 510 roundabouts are connected with a four-lane highway.
Project Benefits
Our goal is to make safety improvements that will help reduce the potential for injury and fatal collisions, help improve safety, and reduce congestion.
What is the project timeline?
Construction begain in the summer of 2013. Work was complete in summer 2014.
Financial Information
Project signage will reflect the cost of construction engineering, project bid award and sales tax.
How can I get more information?

Laura P. said:
Flight Behavior is a luminous novel about fight and flight on different levels. Main character Dellarobia Turnbow discovers that monarch butterflies are over-wintering on her husband's family's farm instead of in Mexico as they should. The phenomenon of millions of butterflies draws the curious and also scientists worried about the odd behavior and possible demise of the butterflies. There's a great scene when scientist Ovid takes a reporter to task about her coverage of climate change. Dellarobia becomes close to Ovid who enlightens her about climate change, scientific method and butterfly behavior. She soaks it up like a sponge and her life changes. At the end, though everything's changing, there's hope that Dellarobia and her children's lives will be better and that somehow, nature will persevere. One of the best novels of 2012.

This may be one of the best novels of 2012, but it is not one I was able to get into quickly. I'll give it one more try after reading the reviews. I tried it one more time and did find that I finally got into the book. All in all, not one of my favorites but I did enjoy Dellarobia's emergence.

|Porosities accessible to HTO and iodide on water-saturated compacted clay materials and relation with the forms of water: A low field proton NMR study
|Gilles Montavon 1Z. Guo 1
|The aim of the present work was to quantify accessible porosities for iodide and for a water tracer (HTO) on water-saturated compacted clay samples (illite, montmorillonite and MX-80 bentonite) and to relate these macroscopic values to the forms of water in these porosities (surface/bulk water, external/internal water). Low field proton NMR was used to characterize and quantify the forms of water. This enabled the three different populations (structural OH, external surface and internal surface water) to be differentiated on hydrated clays by considering the difference in proton mobility. An accurate description of the water forms within the different populations did not appear possible when water molecules of these populations were in contact because of the occurrence of rapid exchange reactions. For this reason, it was not possible to use the low resolution NMR method to quantify external surface and bulk water in fully water-saturated compacted clay media at room temperature. This latter information could however be estimated when analyzing the samples at -25°C. At this temperature, a distinction based on the difference in mobility could be made since surface water remained in a semi-liquid state whereas bulk water froze. In parallel, accessible porosities for anions and HTO were determined by an isotopic dilution method using capillaries to confine the materials. HTO was shown to probe the whole pore volume (i.e. the space made of surface and bulk water). When the surface water volume was mainly composed of interlayer water (case of montmorillonite and bentonite), iodide was shown to be located in the pore space made of bulk water. When the interlayer water was not present (case of illite), the results showed that iodide could access a small fraction of the surface water volume localized at the external surface of the clay particles.

Miscarriage and Stillbirth Research
There are many different causes for miscarriage, some of them known and others unknown. In most cases, there is nothing a woman can do to prevent a miscarriage. Having a miscarriage does not mean that a woman won't become pregnant again, or that she will not have normal pregnancies in the future. And, for most women, miscarriage is not a sign of a larger health problem.
Having a miscarriage can be devastating to a woman and her family. A woman or family who is having trouble coping with the loss of a miscarriage should ask a health care provider.
NICHD Research on Miscarriage
Research has found that women with PCOS also tend to have a condition called insulin resistance, which means their bodies have trouble using the insulin they make to get energy from their cells. Insulin resistance often occurs before someone develops diabetes. To treat this insulin resistance, researchers had been prescribing a drug called metaformin. What they found was that metaformin not only reduced insulin resistance, but it also brought about changes to the uterine lining that could help women with PCOS get pregnant and reduce the risk of miscarriage during their first trimester (the first three months) of pregnancy.
Studies are now underway to confirm the positive effects of the using metaformin in women with PCOS, and to evaluate the safety of taking the drug throughout pregnancy. The NICHD's Reproductive Sciences Branch, through its Reproductive Medicine Network (RMN) is currently conducting a clinical trial for the treatment of infertility related to PCOS, using metaformin. The RMN Web site provides more information on this trial and on the RNM itself.
Other NICHD-supported research is trying to learn more about repeated miscarriage. Researchers estimate that between 1 percent and 2 percent of women in the United States has more than one miscarriage without a known cause. Women who experience repeated miscarriages may undergo expensive and lengthy tests to try to identify a cause, but often get no answers. NICHD researchers, examining the genes of these women, have found that many of them share a genetic mutation, or change. This mutation, on one of the X chromosomes, was found in nearly 15 percent of women who had a history of repeated, unexplained miscarriage. If this genetic mutation is confirmed as a cause of repeated miscarriages, researchers may be able to develop a simple blood test that could predict a woman's chances of having a miscarriage in future pregnancies.
For more information on NICHD-supported research on miscarriage, read the Institute's news releases on miscarriage. The National Library of Medicine provides additional information on pregnancy loss, which includes miscarriage. For more information, visit the Medem™ Website and do a search for "recurrent miscarriage" in the medical library.
Stillbirth can occur before delivery, or as a result of complications during labor and delivery. In at least half of all cases, researchers can find no cause for the pregnancy loss.
In some cases of stillbirth, the mother may notice a decrease in the movement or kicking of the fetus. In these cases, the health care provider uses an ultrasound, a machine that uses sound waves to create a picture of the fetus, to learn more about its health. If you are pregnant and have concerns about stillbirth, ask your health care provider if there are special ways he or she wants you to track movement.
Stillbirth can be devastating to a woman and her family. If you or your family are having trouble coping with the loss of a stillbirth, please talk to your health care provider.
In spite of how often stillbirth occurs, and how emotionally painful it can
be, little research has been done on this type of pregnancy loss. To encourage
more research on stillbirth, the NICHD is supporting a new research initiative,
Research on the Scope and Causes of Stillbirth in the United States. Through
this effort, the NICHD will create a network of research sites whose sole focus
will be on understanding stillbirth, its features, its causes, and its effects
on a woman's uterus. Patients in this network will include women from a variety
of ethnic and economic backgrounds, to provide a clearer picture of this
problem. Through this initiative, the NICHD hopes to support work that may some
day be able to predict and prevent stillbirths.

Mastering the Frittata: Take One!
Once we resolved to master the frittata this year, it was very tempting to quietly work on it behind the scenes and then reveal our new skill down the road with a big TA DA! Instead, we decided to take the humble route and share our baby steps along the way...
Our ultimate goal with this little adventure is to achieve a really fantastic Spanish tortilla. This is that gorgeously domed and elegant frittata that gets flipped in the pan and then sliced like a cake. It's golden and delicious-looking, and it makes us green with envy.
For our first post-resolution foray, we made a 4-egg frittata with potatoes and cooked it in a 12-inch cast iron skillet. We whisked the eggs with a little cottage cheese, sautéd the potatoes until tender, and then poured the eggs over top. Once it started to set, we stuck the pan under the broiler for a few minutes.
The resulting frittata was decent and definitely edible, but could use use some improvement. We liked using our cast-iron skillet, but four eggs made a pretty thin frittata. Next time, we'll try adding another egg or two. We'll also add a bit more seasoning - we used two teaspoons of an herbes de provence mix this time and will probably bump that up to at least a tablespoon next time.
We also felt that the frittata was a little dry. Next time we'll put it under the broiler a little sooner, we think.
To sum up:
Frittata: Take One
6-7 red potatoes, diced with skins on
1/2 red onion, minced
2 teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons seasoning
4 eggs
2 Tablespoons cottage cheese
Handful of shredded cheese
To keep for next time: Make in a 12-inch cast iron skillet, and keep the potatoes, onions, and salt the same.
To change for next time: Bump up the seasonings to 1-2 Tablespoons, increase the number of eggs to six (and adjust cottage cheese to compensate). We might also try a different kind of cheese with more flavor because the one we used got a little lost in this frittata. Also, put the pan under the broiler as soon as the eggs begin to set on the bottom.
Any other suggestions?

You need more eggs and it looks like you scrambled them in the pan. To make a frittata, you don't move the eggs around, you poor them in and let them sit.
Definitely more eggs -- about 12 for a 12 inch cast iron using potatoes. I highly recommend cook's illustrated's frittata recipes, they've worked for me every time.
Both Martha Stewart and Cooking light have great frittata recipes on their sites. Even before I really knew how to cook I could make a decent frittata (or so my husband and I though). Isn't it mostly a stir and pour situation, with a little stove action and then the broiler. As my husband always counsels me - "don't over think it" : )
I always add milk or cream to the eggs. Let it sit on the stove - no strirring except to pull the egg away from the edges as it cooks to let the uncooked egg flow down. I use the pancake rule - when you can see bubbles come up through the egg then it is time to go in the oven. I've never used raw potatoes, don't know if the starchiness would make it dry. When you put it under the broiler it should puff up and get golden. I would try making one with just eggs, milk, and cheese to get the technique down.
for a tortilla you fry potatoes in olive oil, add onion halfway through, drain it, mix the potatoes with eggs (just keep adding until it looks "wet" enough), and then fry up the mixture, flipping halfway through. it's supposed to be a little wet in the middle. mmmmm.
First, list the above comments, not enough egg was used. For at 12" skillet I'd use at least 10 eggs and possibly 12 depending on the amount of filling.
I've made my fair share of tortilla's From Food and I'm currently using the Mark Bitten suggestion of par cooking the potatoes in the microwave prior to adding to the tortilla. It saves a lot of time. By the time the onions are done cooking the potatoes are done too.
When making the tortillia use very low heat once the potato, egg, onion mixture is added back to the pan. Otherwise the outside is burned and you still have a very liquid center.
A Spanish tortilla is NOT a type of frittata, but an entirely different dish. It's cooked in a different manner, NOT put under the broiler and is much more potato than egg in texture.
Thanks for all your great suggestions, everyone! This is great!
I did a long post on frittatas (frittate?) on my blog a while back:
The short answer, though, is yes, more eggs! As for making a tortilla, this recipe from La Tienda looks good:
I've not tried it, but I have made other recipes from their site and they've turned out great.
funny - i just made spanish tortilla last nite. here's my version, which seems consistent with the many i've tried in spain, and is pretty close with mark bittman's from 'how to cook everything':
saute 2 med. waxy potatoes (i prefer them thinly sliced) in lots of olive oil, with generous seasonings of S P. cook til they're cooked (that's a weird explanation, but it should take about 20min.).
pull potatoes from the pan. warm more olive oil, and saute an onion. when translucent, add a couple cloves of minced garlic. saute briefly and add the potatoes back to the pan with the onion and garlic.
pour 6 beaten eggs (with a little minced parsley if you have it) over the potatoes, onion, and garlic. heat on med-low til the bottom's cooked. put it in the oven to cook the top. when you pull it out, toss some sea salt on to finish.
this last part is tough: let it sit for a bit. SO much better slightly warm. and better still? the leftovers the next day.
We have frittatas just about every other week during the spring and summer months when that seasons produce is at its peak. What works for us, and we are only cooking for 2 adults, is 5 eggs and a 10 inch skillet. In addition to the half-n-half that we add, we also add a pinch of baking powder to get the eggs to puff up. Works every time and it makes a fantastic meal and even better leftovers (if there are any).

ESPN has an article saying what if we had taken Roethlisberger instead of trading for Eli Manning and I thought it was an interesting argument. But then I realized, Eli gives you so much more than the on-the-field success and 2 rings. He is a model citizen, a leader, and a guy who leads by example.
What Roethlisberger had to go through off the field... In New York he would not have survived it like he did in Pittsburgh
Strahan had a good point this morning. Everyone talking about the adversity of the Steelers having to fly in on game day, but what about the Giants having to find homes all week, move their families, etc. Hell Bennett and his wife moved in with Boothe. That might be more of a distraction.

Time Warner Cable: A Shareholder-Friendly Company With A Great Product
Matthew is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
The second-largest cable operator in the U.S., Time Warner Cable (NYSE: TWC) has performed very well for its shareholders over the past few years, rebounding nicely from the 2009 low of $20.19 to the $100-ish level it trades for currently. Additionally, the company began paying a dividend and implemented one of the best buybacks in the market. With the company set to report its 2012 earnings on Thursday, Jan. 31, investors want to know that there are still good times ahead for Time Warner Cable, despite the growing competition.
Just to make readers aware, the giant gap down in 2009 as seen in the chart below was not a crash in the share price, but the splitting off of Time Warner's other businesses.
Time Warner Cable currently has about 12.5 million subscribers -- not a bad market share, given that its cable systems encompass about 29 million homes. That means about 43% of Time Warner's potential customers are subscribers. Even though this is a good percentage, it still leaves room to grow. The company's Road Runner internet service has 11.3 million subscribers (38.5% of homes), and its digital phone service has 5.2 million subscribers (18%), mostly bundled with other services.
I don't foresee the phone service expanding by a significant amount going forward, but the cable and particularly the internet service both have definite potential. The numbers listed above, the most recent available, applied as of the end of June 2012. During the earnings call, pay attention to the new data in these three categories. Any signs that the internet service is expanding would be very welcome news by investors.
Although Time Warner Cable has been increasing its footprint with several recent acquisitions, such as Insight Communication this past year, the competitive landscape has gotten tougher over the past few years, and this is my biggest concern with Time Warner going forward.
Always a threat, satellite providers DirecTV (NASDAQ: DTV) and Dish Network (NASDAQ: DISH) are both investing a ton of resources on advertising and courting new customers. However, satellite has positives and negatives, which may ultimately bring customers back to cable.
One issue with satellite is that while there is on-demand content, it is structured differently. Instead, it is similar to downloading a movie on the internet, causing an inconvenient delay before you can actually watch. The inconvenience of no TV in bad weather is a big turn-off as well. Consumers are apparently frustrated with satellite, as the growth of these two companies has significantly slowed over the past few years.
Telecom Giants Verizon (NYSE: VZ) and AT&T (NYSE: T) are more of a threat, with their growing TV service. I'm most familiar with AT&T's U-Verse, since that is what is available in my area. These two companies have a unique competitive advantage in that they can offer "bundle" discounts to their wireless customers. U-Verse is offering a bundle deal that includes TV, internet, and a digital phone for only $89 for existing wireless customers. However, there is the issue of not being able to watch and/or record a total of two HD channels at once in the entire house. Very inconvenient if you have several TV's.
As far as numbers are concerned, here are the stats for the most recent quarter: DirecTV added right around 100,000 subscribers, while Dish Network LOST 111,000 subscribers, for a net loss of 11,000 satellite customers. Further proving my point of being the major threat, UVerse added 192,000 subscribers and Verizon's FiOS Tv service added 134,000 new subscribers. To my dissapointment, Time Warner lost 140,000 subscribers. In my opinion, this is more due to the growing field of competition (Who had UVerse or FiOS TV even just a few years ago?), and should level off over the coming quarters.
So, what's my point with all this? Yes, the competition is growing. Yes, there are cheaper deals to be had than cable (AT&T and Verizon). However, cable is still the best game out there. Time Warner just needs to remind people of this.
Time Warner Cable currently yields about 2.2%, but the real story is the excellent buyback program. Since establishing a $4 billion share repurchase program in November 2010, the number of outstanding shares has gone from 359.5 million at the end of 2010 to 301.8 million as of the company's last earnings report. This is a 16% reduction in less than two years! Time Warner Cable has stated previously that it intended to return over 100% of its free cash flow to shareholders through buybacks and dividends in 2012. Pay attention to these numbers and the company's plans for 2013 in this regard.
To sum it up, this company has a great product and has proven themselves in recent years to be very shareholder-friendly. More important than the particular numbers released will be any information on the company's progress and future plans to increase returns to shareholders. Especially important is what the company has to say in regards to the declining number of TV customers, and whether or not they expect this to level off like I (and most analysts do). On the other hand, if the numbers do disappoint further, it could create a very nice buying opportunity in a great company.

SAN DIEGO - Relief teams in San Diego watched Hurricane Irene over the weekend and remained on stand-by for any requests for help from the East Coast.
The storm's track was headed up the Eastern Seaboard and washed through the biggest population centers in the country, including lower Manhattan. The last major hurricane to hit New York City was in 1938.
Maurice Luque of the San Diego Fire-Rescue Department said his agency had specialized teams ready to go into action if needed. Local firefighters were sent to the Gulf Coast after Hurricane Katrina and to New York after the 9/11 attacks.
San Diego-based International Relief Teams, which still has aid workers in Mississippi helping Katrina victims, is also gearing up to pitch in, Diana Starnes of the group said.
Brittany Gotschall, of the American Red Cross, San Diego and Imperial Counties Chapter, said it will be up to ARC chapters at the scene to call in reinforcements.
The first efforts to help will come from nearby chapters, and then calls will go out for specialized assistance, Gotschall said.
She said ARC groups in the Midwest have already sent supplies to the East Coast.
"At the moment, we're standing by to see what's needed," Gotschall said.
FOX 5 producer Leslie Marcus was in Long Island when Irene hit North Carolina. She said New York was eerie and felt like a "ghostbusters" scene.
"It's so grey and there is this big blanket of dark clouds that's over the city, it's weird," said Marcus. "There's one little market that's open right now and it's really crowded. People are trying to get as much food as they can. They're expecting the worst. New Yorkers aren't used to this."
Jeanne Klaus is from Orange County but moved to North Carolina four years ago to teach. This was her first hurricane.
"The winds have been upwards to 90 miles per hour in our neighborhood and the noise is very eerie," said Klaus. "The heavy duty rains slap at your house and you feel like the roof is leaking. It's not, it's just the water hitting the windows and the roof at such strong force."
Klaus said she's been without power since 5 a.m. Saturday and said she didn't expect it back on for several more days. She said police are strictly enforcing a curfew and urging people not to be outside.
"You see debris flying through the air. It's kind of like Wizard of Oz and Toto. It was really weird. There's debris that's stuck the house and stuck to the shed and you hear rain, it's constant," said Klaus.

So as everyone knows, Brandon and LaMarcus have yet to get their extensions completed. There are many reasons for this (the economy, the cap, etc.). Well this is something that I am actually finishing my degree to get into. The following is a letter I sent out to the Blazer front office. Not sure if it will work or even help (not sure if it's allowed per the CBA), but
Seriously, you have one of the top 10 players in the league in Brandon Roy. He says he wants to sign for 5 years, yet for some reason the Blazers don't want to give him a max deal. HELLO BLAZER PERSONNEL!!!!!!!! Brandon Roy has done everything that's been asked of him, plus more. He's been a leader on the court and off the court. He was named 2nd team all nba, he's
So by now everyone's heard about the story that ESPN's Ric Bucher wrote a little while ago, saying how he believes the Thunder have a better upside and we'll be a better team in 2-3 years that our own Blazers. All I know is if this team stays together for the next 2-3 years, I don't see OKC, or anyone for that matter, messing with us if we keep playing this well. Now I
Tonight's game between the San Antonio Spurs and the Sacramento Kings once again had officials in a place to make a correct call, and instead they blew an obvious call which helped San Antonio win. To make matters worse, the call came (or should I say didn't come) with 1.7 seconds left in the game.
At the very end of the game, Michael Finley shoots a
So I did a little bit of research and found 4 ways that we can secure homecourt advantage. Unfortunately none of them are ways the Blazers can help themselves, they're going to have to rely on someone else (I mean we will still have to win our games but we need some help also).
The first is if Sacramento can somehow pull out a victory in Denver on Monday. That

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
|This article needs additional citations for verification. (October 2009)
In the United States, a Cornish game hen, also sometimes called a Cornish hen, poussin, Rock Cornish hen, or simply Rock Cornish, is a hybrid chicken sold whole. Despite the name, it is not a game bird. Rather, it is a broiler chicken, the most common strain of commercially raised meat chickens. Though the bird is called a "hen", it can be either male or female. A cornish hen typically commands a higher price per pound than typically sold chickens, despite a shorter growing span of 28 to 30 days, as opposed to 42 or more for regular chicken.
The Rock Cornish game hen or Rock Cornish hen is a cross between the Cornish Game and Plymouth or White Rock chicken breeds.[1] This breed develops a large breast over a short period of time compared to game hens.[1] Rock Cornish game hens weigh about 2.5 pounds after four to six weeks, at which time they are slaughtered.[1]
The United States Department of Agriculture describes the Rock Cornish game hen or Cornish game hen as "a young immature chicken (less than five weeks of age), weighing not more than two pounds ready-to-cook weight, which was prepared from a Cornish chicken or the progeny of a Cornish chicken crossed with another breed of chicken."[2]
Most sources credit Alphonsine "Therese" and Jacques Makowsky of Connecticut for developing the small bird in the mid-1950s. A Saturday Evening Post article from July 1955 credited Mrs. Makowsky with coming up with the idea to breed the Cornish game chicken, a small bird with short legs and a plump, round breast that she had discovered in a book. The Makowskys began cross-breeding the Cornish game cocks with various chickens and game birds, including a White Plymouth Rock Hen and a Malayan fighting cock, to develop the Rock Cornish game hen, a succulent bird suitable for a single serving.
The musician and comedian Victor Borge was both an investor and promoter of the Rock Cornish Game Hen in its early years. His personal popularity helped change the bird from an exotic menu item into something a housewife might prepare herself.
In the Seinfeld episode "The Rye", Frank Costanza is rebuked by Susan Ross's upper-class parents for (correctly) asserting that the Cornish game hen is "a little chicken".[3]
In a Season 3 episode of Louie, Louis CK goes to his doctor to treat a new rash and vomiting. When the doctor asks what he has been doing differently, Louis recalls eating Cornish hen with his opulent uncle, Uncle X, at the Russian Tea Room a few nights prior to his sickness. These symptoms turn out to be psychosomatic, as Louis dreads visiting his father, something his uncle urged him to do insistently at the dinner.
In a season 9 episode of Family Guy that revolves around Halloween, Mayor Adam West gives out cornish game hens as candy.
In Eraserhead the protagonist carves a cornish hen which immediately starts to bleed and wriggle.
In Team Fortress 2, the Spy will comment "I am going to gut you like a Cornish game hen" when taunting with the knife equipped.
In the Tournament of Kings in the Excalibur Hotel and Casino, Cornish Game Hens are served as part of the meal that is provided during the show (the whole meal is eaten with the fingers.) On the Fun Facts section of the Tournament Of Kings part of the Excalibur website it has stated that Excalibur is the number one purchaser of Cornish Game Hens in the US.

Home » Services » Orthopedics » Robotic Joint Surgery » Robotic Knee Surgery
Partial knee replacement is a minimally invasive surgery option that can postpone and potentially eliminate the need for a full knee replacement. It can also mean a shorter recovery time. More than 90% of our patients go home the very same day.
This procedure uses the MAKO medical robot, which uses a robotic arm and visualization techniques to prepare the knee joint for reproducible bone shaping, implant insertion and alignment – all through a minimal incision.
Up until recently, the general approach for arthritic knees and other knee issues has been to use cortisone shots and eventually replace the entire knee joint, which is comprised of three compartments. Surgeons were unable to isolate a specific compartment manually, and therefore would remove and replace the entire knee. This rather invasive procedure required a lot of recovery time and pain management, not to mention a large scar.
John Repicci, D.D.S., M.D., a dentist turned orthopedic surgeon, noted that the knee functions much like that of teeth, with more than 90 percent of damage to the joint affecting just the inner portion and reasoned that replacing the entire knee was excessive. It was he who developed the afore mentioned unicondylar knee implant.
By using the MAKO TGS system to replicate Dr. Repicci's technical skills, hospitals across the United States are saving thousands of dollars.
Dr. Repicci and his staff did a fantastic job on my knee replacement.
Total professionalism and courtesy. Operation was a great success.
Thank you.
– Anthony
My mother-in-law had her second knee replacement at Kenmore Mercy Hospital.
Everything went very well.
The staff was exceptional in their after care.
– Paul
Although the best treatment for each patient must be determined individually, typical MAKOplasty® patients share the following characteristics:
MAKOplasty® partial knee resurfacing can:
MAKOplasty® can be performed as either an inpatient procedure or on an outpatient basis depending on what your surgeon determines is the right course of treatment for you. Hospital stays can average anywhere from one to three days. If the procedure is performed on an outpatient basis, patients return home the same day.
In many cases, patients are permitted to walk soon after surgery, drive a car within two weeks and return to normal daily activities shortly thereafter.
Before surgery, a CT scan is taken of the patient's knee, and a 3D model created using the RIO system's software. From this model, a pre-surgical plan is developed for the positioning of implants based on that patient's unique anatomy.
To ensure implants are optimally positioned and that the soft tissues of the knee are balanced for a good surgical outcome, surgeons can test and fine tune the plan before surgery by moving the leg through different ranges of motion. The RIO provides measurements and visualization, and the surgeon adjusts the plan as needed.
Once the surgical plan is finalized, it is programmed into the RIO, which creates a safety zone for bone removal. While the surgeon guides the robotic arm and is in control of it at all times, the RIO ensures that bone removal stays with the safety zone of the surgical plan, providing auditory, visual and tactile feedback, stopping the robotic arm if necessary before bone can be removed outside the planned area. Once the bone preparation is complete, the implants are placed in the knee.
Like other knee arthroplasty procedures, MAKOplasty® is covered by most Medicare-approved and private health insurance providers.
Please speak with your physician to determine your healthcare benefits, and if MAKOplasty® may be the right treatment option for you.
The life expectancy of all implants depends on several factors including the patient's weight, activity level, quality of bone stock and compliance with their physician's orders. Proper implant alignment and precise positioning during surgery are also very important factors that can improve the life expectancy of an implant.
Through the use of MAKO's RIO™ robotic arm system, implants can be optimally aligned and positioned to ensure the longest benefit. RESTORIS® MCK implants enable the treatment of one or two compartments with OA disease. With single compartment disease, a second compartment may be treated in the future if OA spreads.
In addition, because very little bone is actually removed during a MAKOplasty® procedure, the implants can be replaced with another procedure such as a total knee replacement, if necessary.
Download and print the MAKOplasty® brochure and bring it with you to your next doctor's appointment.

A year after unveiling the Jeep Grand Cherokee Trailhawk Concept at last year's Easter Moab Safari, Jeep is headed to this year's event with the successor to the concept, dubbed the Trailhawk II Concept.
It figures that Jeep would do a second go-round of the concept, seeing as the first model eventually found its way into production .
Just like the first incarnation, the Trailhawk Concept II comes packed with plenty of design cues, including a new SRT hood, a black front grille, a matte-black roof and one-off custom roof rails. That's before you get into the part about the concept getting dressed in a non-metallic Blood Orange hue, a far cry from the Pure White color of the first concept. From there, custom fender flares were also installed, as well as front and rear skid plates, dual rear tow hooks, modified Mopar rock rails and a set of 17-inch aluminum wheels wrapped in monstrous 35-inch Mickey Thompson off-road tires.
The interior of the Trailhawk Concept II doesn't come with as many upgrades as the exterior, although with Mopar slush mats and a rear cargo liner, that's probably all you need on the cabin of this bad boy.
UPDATE 04/03/13: The second incarnation of the Jeep Grand Cherokee Trailhawk Concept has more photos that we can ogle over. Check them out in the gallery below!

Press Release
The recently introduced new 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee EcoDiesel V-6 has instantly delighted off-road enthusiasts across North America. With the introduction of the 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee Trailhawk Concept, Jeep designers have taken the most awarded SUV ever and created the most extreme Grand Cherokee yet. Powered by the new clean EcoDiesel engine, this Grand Cherokee has mountains of low-end torque to power over any obstacle. From its blood-orange paint, to its massive 35-inch off-road tires, there's no mistaking this Grand Cherokee and its off-road prowess.
The 2014 Grand Cherokee Trailhawk Concept – the third Grand Cherokee created for Easter Jeep since 2011 - features 35-inch Mickey Thompson off-road tires on Wrangler Rubicon 17-inch aluminum wheels, enlarged wheel openings with custom fender flares, custom front and rear skid plates, dual rear tow hooks and modified Mopar rock rails.
Custom design cues include a Grand Cherokee SRT hood, SRT front and rear fascias that have been modified for extra ground clearance, a black front grille, a matte black roof and one-off custom roof rails. The body is finished in a vibrant, non-metallic blood-orange hue that also manages to draw attention to the larger wheel openings and off-road tires.
Mopar slush mats and rear cargo liner enhance Jeep Grand Cherokee Trailhawk Concept's interior.

"The Patience Stone" captures with great courage the reality of everyday life for an intelligent woman under the oppressive weight of the Taliban regime in Afghanistan.
Somewhere, in Afghanistan or elsewhere, in a country torn apart by a war... A beautiful woman in her thirties watches over her husband who has fallen into a coma. After ten years of living under his control, with no voice of her own, she finally has the upper hand. And with that, the safety to reveal to him her deepest desires, pains and secrets, stories she could never share with anyone for fear of retribution. And it is an extraordinary confession, without restraint, about love and her anger against a man who never understood her, who mistreated her, who never showed her any respect or kindness.
This paralyzed man unconsciously becomes syngué sabour (the patience stone), a magical black stone that, according to Persian mythology, absorbs the plight of those who confide in it. It is believed that the day it explodes, after having received too much hardship and pain, will be the day of the Apocalypse.

Yahoo Sports is reporting that the Seahawks may not have Marshawn Lynch at minicamp next week, according to their sources. The article notes that Lynch has not been an active participant this off-season in Seattle.
After being the life of the party at the Super Bowl parade, Beastmode skipped out of the White House celebration. He's been absent at the voluntary organized team activities, also called OTA's.
He rarely talks to the media anymore. Lynch even cancelled a promo event, last Friday, for a product he was endorsing.
Lynch has made some off-season news. From starring in an upcoming movie to avoiding a fight, he just hasn't done anything in Seattle recently, more specifically, at the V-MAC.
According to the Yahoo Sports article, Lynch could be unhappy with his contract, too. Overthecap.com lists his base salary for 2014 at $5 million, with a half million dollar roster bonus. Which looks like a bargain for a guy who's averaging just over 1350 yards rushing and 13 touchdowns per season over the last three years in Seattle. Plus, he's seen his teammates, Richard Sherman and Earl Thomas, get some monster paydays from the Hawks this off-season.
You also add the fact that offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell says they plan to go to a "running backs by committee" this season. He said it last week at town hall meeting with season ticket holders. But then Bevell recanted at Monday's OTA's.
So if he's skipping minicamp, it may not be a big deal. It could be Marshawn just being Marshawn. It will be bigger news if misses training camp or holds out for a bigger contract.
By the way, if he misses all three days of minicamp, under the CBA rules, the Seahawks can fine him $69,455.

Maxwell Hardy ′12
Hometown: Brooklyn, NY
Major: International Studies
Fun Fact: While abroad, Maxwell lived with a Zulu family.
You're from Brooklyn. Why not go to school up North?
All my friends went to northeastern schools similar in size and academic clout. I didn't want that, so I decided to go south! I think of my time here as a cultural immersion. Rhodes is in many ways outside of what I grew up with. From the time I was born until I was 18, I knew nobody from Mississippi or Texas or Tennessee. Now, my best friends are from these places. Just attending Rhodes compliments what I experience in class because I've learned how to be open to, and aware of, political and cultural differences. This might be just as important as anything I learn in class. My development as a citizen of the global community has undeniably benefited me and, whatever my future holds in international work, I think my time at Rhodes will prove invaluable.
What do you think of your time here as an International Studies major?
Rhodes is one of the only liberal arts colleges that has its own International Studies department. Frequently, colleges only offer Political Science majors—here, we have separate departments. Also, with small class sizes and approachable professors, International Studies provides an intimate atmosphere. I've also loved the ability to mesh my major with my minor—Environmental Studies—because both disciplines overlap so much. For example, I can in one class study hardline, realpolitik questions about topics like U.S. national security, and in another discuss different soft-power incentives to encourage states to reexamine their carbon emissions.
Your interest took you all the way to South Africa, right?
Yes, a semester in South Africa was a magnificent experience. I spent most of my time living with Zulu families and learning about what a recent transition to democracy looks like on the local level. I was honored to intern with the African Centre for the Constructive Resolution of Disputes (ACCORD)—a non-governmental organization contracted by, among other entities, the African Union and the United Nations to run workshops with peacekeepers. I worked in their Knowledge Production Department conducting research on environmentally motivated conflict in countries bordering the Nile River.
How have your interests extended out into the Memphis community?
I love Memphis! I love the food, the people, and the music. Last summer I was a fellow for an archive Rhodes maintains called Crossroads to Freedom. We interviewed people who lived during the Civil Rights Movement in Memphis, and placed the recordings on a publicly accessible website (crossroadstofreedom.org). Memphis had an integral role in the Civil Rights Movement, largely through the symbolism of the sanitation workers strike. It was great to be given the opportunity to help preserve the movement's story for future generations, and I am now more able to appreciate the city and Rhodes' contribution to it.

It is evident that Max is getting a well rounded education, centered in his interests. Getting away from his comfort zone in Brooklyn no doubt has helped to diversify his contacts. Living with Zulu family must also have been a very valuable experience. I predict he will go far in International Relations!!
