Servings: 12 muffins
Cook Time: 25 min
Difficulty: Easy
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 cup sugar
1 stick unsalted butter, melted
1 egg, slightly beaten
3/4 cup whole milk
1 1/2 cups fresh blueberries
1/2 cup granulated brown sugar or white sugar
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 12-cup muffin tin.
In a bowl, combine the flour, baking powder and sugar. In another bowl, combine butter, egg, and milk and mix well. Pour the wet ingredients into the flour mixture and with a spatula, stir until just combined. Do not beat or over mix; it's okay if there are lumps in the batter. Gently fold the blueberries into the batter.
Spoon the batter into the muffin tray, filling each cup about 2/3 full. Bake for 10 minutes and remove from the oven. Sprinkle the tops of the muffins with the granulated brown or white sugar and return the muffins to the oven to bake for an additional 10 to 15 minutes, until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean. Cool for about 10 minutes in the pan before turning the muffins out.

I did the same thing but I am going to try them again
By kathleen syvia on March 01, 2013
I did the same thing I used two table spoons instead of two teaspoons so im going to try it again

I made these and followed the recipe exactly and used 2 tablespoons of BP and they were dry and tasted mostly like Baking powder - definitely a typo since the recipe above called for 2 tsp - huge difference. Mine went in to the trash!

Worst blueberry muffins I've ever made. Followed directions exactly and they came out totally dry and bland... mostly just tasted like flour. Very disappointed. I would NOT recommend.
By Eugenie on August 18, 2012
These are superb. Instead of 2 Cups Flour I used 1 cup Soy flour, 1/2 cup Almond Meal and 1/2 cup Whole Wheat Pastry Flour. I also used 1/4 cup melted butter and 1/4 cup applesauce instead of `1/2 cup butter. And 1 cup Splenda Granulated instead of the 1 cup sugar. I also added 1 tsp. vanilla and 1 tsp cinnamon. It turned out great.
By Nancy on August 13, 2012
This exact recipe is in Paula's book 'It Ain't All About the Cookin' EXCEPT the recipe in the book calls for 2 TABLESPOONS of baking powder, unlike the recipe above which calls for 2 teaspoons. Big difference, and it may explain the widely different comments and inconsistent results. I guess I'll go with the 2 Tbsp when I try it.

This morning we tried your blueberry muffins. They tasted very good. Great job Paula.

The muffins were great, Thanks Paula!

My grandchildren are staying for a few months this summer and we NEEDED muffins.. soo I had blueberries they wouldn't eat, and found Paula's recipe for blueberrie muffins.. they turned out great! Here are a couple of comments from the kids:(Alyssia)I thought they were great except for i didn't really care for blueberries.(Kaira)The muffins were good and i never tried blueberry muffins like this kind before!
By Erdman Family on July 07, 2012
Mixing combinations seem wrong in this recipe: trying to mix butter no matter how soft-- w/ milk is extremely awkward: shouldn't it be mix egg and sugar and butter?
By Hugh on May 17, 2012
After reading the negative comments I had to defend this muffin. I just got done making them and I thought they were awesome!! I used frozen berries and the batter actually turned blue which I thought was kinda cool. They were moist and fluffy and not too sweet but by no means bland. I thought they were perfect!
By Loren on March 01, 2012
I used 1 1/4 cups of sugar instead of half cup and 2 teaspoons of vanilla (I like taste and flavor) and they turned out DELICIOUS! I knew the muffins would be very bland without the added sugar and vanilla. I also used canned wild blueberries.
By Jenny B on January 21, 2012
I make these using the FoodNetwork.com recipe (which lists 2 Tbs for Baking Powder) and I think they are wonderful. Break these open and spread with butter, sprinkle with extra sugar if you need it at this point. I like to eat them straight out of the muffin tin! NOTE: If you are wanting very sweet, moist muffins, you will want to find a recipe using oil, salt, and brown sugar in the main mix...or just buy them from the store. With so many baked goods from mixes these days made using pudding and other additives to make them super moist, real, made-from-scratch recipes are often hated for taste and texture. This is a HUGE misunderstanding in baking.
By Stephanie on July 24, 2011
These tasted so bland and did not rise. When I thought about it, I realized there was no salt or baking soda in this recipe; perhaps that's what was needed. I felt like I'd wasted my blueberries. I will not make these again.
By Mary Lou McGuffee on July 07, 2011
Not very sweet, but good. I just added a little brown sugar to the top & a little butter to the middle once they were done & this added a little sweetness. I also used canned blueberries & they tasted just as good as fresh.
By Carolyn on June 22, 2011
I made these just today and did I did the creaming method with the butter, egg, and the sugar (also 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla along with 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon). They turned out great! I wouldn't recommend leaving them lumpy but creamy enough!

Staff of the turtle department of the Clearwater Marine Aquarium released a loggerhead turtle back into the Gulf of Mexico Tuesday.
The aquarium workers said, the loggerhead they named Tina joined the rehabilitation facility in April. She was discovered floating in the water off Manor Beach, near New Port Richey. Workers said she had suffered extreme weight loss and appeared tired.
"Tina's case was unique, and there were many ups and downs with her, but they got her in stable condition," aquarium officials said.
They released 200-pound 40-year-old Tina into the wild Tuesday afternoon.

I'm tired today. What a busy and intense week.
Today went downhill fast :( First my fun plans fall thru then assassins on the ride home. I need to get away! :(
I still can't quite believe I'm engaged. It's kind of fun planning a wedding. And I'm so in love it's rather absurd. He's been even more awesome to me since we got engaged…:)
Hopefully I will get my ring back (and FINALLY properly sized this time) tomorrow after work! :)
How is it that this chick repeatedly lets us run out of the most important supplies and it's cool? Why oh why is that OK??? Any other place I've worked, you let MV50s run out, you're fired! Period. End of story. WTF. You've allowed the MV50s to run out AND the contracts!? (AND you've done this NUMEROUS times!!) Where does that leave us?! (no, really…where ?!)
Wow nothing like getting called on your day off to be yelled at for fixing a problem that no one else cared to fix. I'm seriously hating my job right now. How rude to call me on my day off!
Sometimes I just feel like I've made all the wrong choices. Today is one of those days… it makes me feel completely depressed and want to vanish.
I just saw a photo of that murderer. He's not much too younger than I. I studied the photo, trying to find tells of such hatred but aside looking frazzled or even crazy; one could not see it to gaze upon him that he would be one capable of something SO heinous. To look at him with judgemental eyes how could one ever have imagined what he had planned? An unsettling world. My heart goes out to the families of those lost; may they somehow find peace.

Get Real, Rocco
Hawaii restaurateurs say local customers are key to survival
Reality shows, such as NBC's "The Restaurant" featuring New York Chef Rocco DiSpirito and Fine Living's "Opening Soon," have created high drama out of restaurant ownership. However, this heightened reality doesn't shed much light on what it really takes to survive in the restaurant industry. Says Conrad Nonaka, director of the Culinary Institute of the Pacific and a 30-year restaurant industry veteran, "People see all the cars in the parking lot, they say, 'Look at that guy, he must be making plenty money!' But they don't realize the commitment it takes. You have to do your homework."
National studies show that 60 percent of restaurants fail within three years. Despite these odds, the industry is flourishing. The National Restaurant Association anticipates an average 4.4 percent growth in sales this year, its 13th year of growth. However, Hawaii's restaurant sales are estimated to grow just 3.5 percent in 2004, a virtual tie with the slowest growing state, the District of Columbia (3.4 percent). Hawaii's rate is only half of Nevada's, which is expected to lead the nation with 6.8 percent sales growth. The association says, Hawaii's dim prospects reflect its dependence on the recovering, but still relatively weak, tourism industry.
Restaurant owners are increasingly aware that, while tourists bring sweet returns, local residents provide sustenance. Like many Waikiki businesses, the new owners of Matteo's restaurant want to increase their local market share. According to Jim Boersma, managing partner of Matteo's and Zanzabar nightclub, "Matteo's lost some of the local market when the theaters closed down. In contrast, about 70 percent of Zanzabar's customers are local, so we're going to introduce them to that restaurant." Besides distributing free dessert or appetizer coupons to nightclub patrons, the new owners will cater food from the restaurant to the nightclub, and double the restaurant's advertising budget.
Some restaurateurs are looking outside of Waikiki for growth. Mattson Davis, managing partner of Kona Brewing Co., chose to open its second restaurant in suburban Hawaii Kai. "It's not about having one-tenth of 1 percent share of 6 million visitors and providing mediocre service. It's about exceeding expectations and having people come time and time again. In Kona, our mix has always been 70 percent local and 30 percent visitor. Tourists will find us in Hawaii Kai, but we expect the percentage of locals will be higher than that."
Les Hong, president of Hong Enterprise, Inc., which owns Charley's Tavern, The Original Chuck's Steak House and Lewers Street Loft & Lanai, will be courting suburbia on the other end of the island. "My family has been in Waikiki since 1950. But Kapolei is what Waikiki was in the 1940s and 1950s; it's the fastest growing area on Oahu." He believes that the area is ready for his restaurant concept. "My average check is $20, and I've got early-bird specials for families, a salad bar, cocktails and entertainment later in the evening. I think I'll be filling a void there. We'll be bringing Waikiki to Kapolei."
However, as Davis found, what applies to one local market might not be applicable to another. On paper, Hawaii Kai looked more favorable than Kona - market research showed a denser population, higher family incomes and a neighborhood of community leaders. The glitch was that he underestimated what it took to reach customers in the new location. "I failed in getting the message out to the person here who cares about local, organic food," he said, and in positioning the restaurant as a community gathering place. Like Matteo's new owners, he is ramping up his advertising, and also sponsoring more community events. Says Davis, "When we were in Kona, we were a big fish in a little pond; now on Oahu, we're a little fish in a big pond."
In the end, he believes what made the restaurant successful on the Big Island will work on Oahu: "It's all about making connections with the community." At the end of the day, survival could depend on making those connections last.

Parental Involvement at Home: Analyzing the Influence of Parents' Socioeconomic Status
The present study focuses on the relationship between parent's socioeconomic status and parental involvement in their child's education at home. Eighty Indian students who were studying in one the best performance-based National Type Tamil Schools in the state of Kedah, Malaysia were chosen based on purposive sampling. It comprised 20 students from Year Two, 20 students from Year Three, 20 students from Year Four and 20 students from Year Five. Of these 80 students, 40 low-achieving students and 40 high-achieving students were identified based on the previous final year school examination results. A questionnaire was used to obtain quantitative data related to the parent's socio-economic background and their ¬involvement strategies in their children's education at home from the students' parents. The findings of this study indicated that most parents, regardless of their socioeconomic background showed a high degree of involvement in most of the involvement strategies at home to ensure their child's educational success. However, the parent's education level, employment status, and income among the parents from the lower socioeconomic class affect their understanding and knowledge on the actual values that need to be placed on their child's education. This causes their children to experience deprivation. As a result, the higher the parent's socioeconomic status, the greater the parent's involvement in their child's education. As a result, the parents inculcate good skills, behaviour and values of education in their children which are extremely important for their academic success.
Keywords: Parental involvement; Socioeconomic; Education; National Type Tamil School

The artwork is terrible. I realize it was made in only two days but it was a terrible effort on the style of the game. The game play was right but it seemed a little vague and the game crashed 3-4 times while trying to play. 2/5 Stars for a good game that could have used more. (Yes I know it was made in 48 hours, my opinion doesn't change.)

While its still two weeks away my inbox this morning had an anonymously attached pdf announcemnt for rallying up the Orlando troops for an exciting launch. Few things are more exciting than when your carrier announces 3G for your city, save for free coffee hours at Starbucks but you get my point. So there you go residents of Orlando, you have two weeks to consider your next phone purchase and be thankful that you are among the first to experience the joy and the beauty that is 3G. I'm jealous, I love Mickey Mouse, Islands of Adventure and I want 3G, maybe I'll move to Orlando.

Christiane Wiggins called her pharmacy to refill a prescription. The medicine came in the usual brown paper bag and the label on the bag and on the container said Cyanocobalamin, the name for vitamin B12.
She noticed the color on the liquid was different and the cap on the bottles was a different color too, but dismissed her concerns because packaging can be different if the manufacturer changed.
In May, her son came over to help her with her B12 injection like he usually does.
"He looked at me and said, 'What is this?'" Wiggins said.
He immediately realized from his previous medical training the medicine she received was far more dangerous than a vitamin injection. The vials looked almost identical to B12, but instead she got a drug used to resuscitate patients in cardiac arrest or treat nerve gas poisoning.
"He said, 'No, that's not B12. That's atropine.' I did not know what atropine means or what it is?" recounted Wiggins.
She had gotten the medication from the military base near her home in Virginia, which sends its prescriptions out to Walter Reed National Military Medical Center to be filled. The pharmacy at Walter Reed had given her the wrong prescription.
Wiggins said she was sick to her stomach thinking what could have happened if she had taken the injection.
"He said, 'Well, if I inject this I could kill you with this or you could get a heart attack or stroke or something really could happen to you,'" Wiggins said.
Although they caught the mistake, it is one that happens millions of times every year in pharmacies and hospitals. The Wiggins caught it before the error caused any harm.
"I hate to call it a flub because you know, it's more than a flub. I think it's negligent. It's unacceptable," said her son Christopher Wiggins.
In thousands of cases, the medication errors can be deadly.
Lorraine Connor is still stuck on the day that led to her 92-year-old mother's death. Marjorie Evans had gone to the hospital to be treated for a bacterial infection but was otherwise healthy. She walked in herself.
"My mother was very active," said Connor. "She called me and said they're going to send me home in a couple of days."
Connor went to the acute care facility where her mother had been transferred and noticed her mother in what appeared to be a deep sleep. She came back a short time later and everything had changed.
"She stopped breathing and they were trying to resuscitate her," said Connor remembering the horrible moment.
She lived a few months longer, never fully recovered and died.
The family's attorney says medical records showed Evans was mistakenly prescribed 100 milligrams of Oxycontin, three times a day, 30 times the dosage she was supposed to get.
"I would say the 200 milligrams of Oxycontin the patient received in that eight-hour period catastrophically changed the course of her life," said Charles Meltmar, who is with the Cochran Firm.
Studies estimate tens of millions of medication mistakes happen every year, resulting in more than 1.5 million people harmed, and more than 200,000 deaths. But the numbers are believed to be much higher because many go unreported.
"You have to look at harm, how much harm is being caused," said Allen Vaida, Executive Vice President of the Institute for Safe Medication Practices (ISMP).
"So we are hearing more about them. The numbers are higher," he said in part because of increased awareness.
ISMP works closely with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to track and prevent medication errors. It keeps a list of nearly 700 look alike or sound alike drugs that may be confused with one another. It also tracks high alert medications such as insulin, narcotics, opiates and blood thinners, drugs where mistakes can be most deadly.
"You may administer the wrong medication or the wrong dose, the wrong route," said Vaida.
Those errors can occur for a variety of reasons, either in the dispensing process, transcribing the medication when a patient is released or simply giving a medication to the wrong patient.
On average, the Institute of Medicine says patients on average experience one medication error a day. Only a small fraction cause harm and many more that are not reported are caught before any harm is done. In a majority of fatal errors, the patients are over 65 years old like Evans.
"Many people die unnecessarily when they receive excessive amounts of blood thinners or narcotics because people are not paying attention," said Meltmar.
Evans' family settled a lawsuit with the doctors and pharmacist involved in her care. They all failed to catch the mistake.
"I truly do not believe it was her time," Connor said. "I was angry. I was sad."
She thinks of all the missed family milestones, the graduations and birth of a great-grandchild.
"This has devastated my family," said Connor.
In pharmacies where dispensing errors are most common, recent studies show the use of barcode scanning and electronic prescriptions have helped reduce errors by as much as half, but studies also show those systems make mistakes too.
"They're not fail safe. There are things you can do," Vaida said.
More attention he says needs to be paid to electronic prescription systems. Doctors may click on the wrong medication in a drop down menu or the wrong dosage. They may use an abbreviation that is misread or misinterpreted.
At Walter Reed where Wiggins got her medicine, it uses a barcode system too, but somehow still got it wrong.
"To me, incidents like this should not occur," said Wiggins.
In a statement, the hospital told FOX 5, "The safe and accurate dispensing of medications is the highest priority of all pharmacy staff at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center. We continuously review our medication safety processes as we dispense an average of 74,000 outpatient and 246,000 inpatient prescriptions monthly. The pharmacy will continue to work with all Walter Reed Bethesda staff to optimize and perfect medication safety to the best extent possible."
The Wiggins family said hospital officials did apologize, but were not satisfied with the answers they received. In a letter to Virginia Senator Mark Warner who inquired about the Wiggins' case, the hospital admitted the mix-up and said it had not identified any other similar errors involving B12 and atropine.
"We were fortunate but we dodged a bullet on this one," said Christopher Wiggins, who is now working with the senator on legislation to address the problem.
Patients can also take steps to make sure they are not the victim of medication errors. In the hospital, it is important to ask questions, you know what medication you are getting, what it is for and how much. If you can't ask, have someone else who can. Make sure the staff checks the name. These simple things can prevent errors, if you notice, for instance, the medication is for blood pressure, but you don't have a blood pressure problem.
The same can be done in a pharmacy. Although many states have laws requiring pharmacists be available to counsel patients, many people don't get it because they are in a hurry.
Ask the pharmacist to read the name on the prescription, the medication and what it is prescribed to treat. Also have them open the bag at the counter, read the labels to you, look at the medication and make sure it is right before you leave.
These things have been shown to dramatically increase the likelihood that an error will be caught. It is a problem that has the potential to get worse. One-third of Americans already take five or more medications. With the aging baby boomers, many are taking 10 or more, increasing the potential for error.

"Readers looking for a winery that unleashes a hedonistic style should check out the 2000 Shiraz Duck Muck (200 cases). This is Shiraz at its ripest and headiest (16% alcohol). Lavishly wooded (100% high toast new oak is employed), it boasts an unevolved, sweet, layered, explosively full-bodied personality. This thrilling, hedonistic effort pushes Shiraz to the limit. It falls somewhere between an over-the-top Shiraz and a late-harvest offering. Extremely pure and concentrated, it is the type of wine that does not exist anywhere except South Australia. Drink it over the next 10-15+ years. Unique!"

For the 3-month period ending 31st May 2012Issued on 6th June 2012 by the National Climate Centre
Conditions were drier than average across most of southern Australia in April and May 2012. Drier than normal late autumn-early winters have been experienced across southwest and southeast Australia for more than a decade.
As a result of recent dry conditions and a very dry March:
Heavy rain in parts of southern coastal WA at the start of June only had a minor impact on the areas of severe deficiencies.
Long-term rainfall deficiencies are also evident in southwest Western Australia. The southwest region had its driest year on record in 2010, and the two-year period of 2010 to 2011 was the driest on record in some parts of southwest Western Australia.

Former MLB pitcher turned broadcaster/writer Dirk Hayhurst wrote a column about the popularity of marijuana throughout MLB and, in the article, he implied there are several potheads on the Tampa Bay Rays.
Hayhurst's column was inspired by Yahoo! Sports' Jeff Passan's recent column about the disparity between drug punishments for MLB and minor league players. Passan's argument is that because of the lax drug penalties on MLB players, minor leaguers who love weed can smoke their way onto a 40-man roster. It's a really interesting read.
In response, Hayhurst wrote on Sports on Earth about how widespread marijuana is and has been throughout MLB. Here's a sampling of what he had to say:
As far back as I can remember, players were getting high. Guys in the minors, on or off the 40-man, would take apples from the locker-room spread, hollow them out and then sneak behind dumpsters and smoke an apple pipe. In Triple-A, the now-defunct Portland Beavers would hide in stadium supply tunnels doing the old puff-puff-pass before jumping a knuckleball fight over the Rocky Mountains. I've even seen coaches toking up with their players.
You really should read the whole thing to get the full flavor, but that's a nice sampling.
Anyway, Hayhurst then decided to share a story about a time when he was in spring training with a team and a group of players got robbed. All of the details point to a 2011 robbery involving three Rays players.
Hayhurst was a spring training invitee of the Rays in 2011. In March 2011, a Port Charlotte home being rented by Evan Longoria, David Price and Reid Brignac was robbed.
The Tampa Bay Times says police estimated $56,000 in valuables were stolen, including "a 60-inch flat-screen TV, three iPads, two Xbox game systems, cash, Price's laptop and several of Price's fancy watches." It later came out that Longoria had an AK47 stolen as well.
Now here's what Hayhurst wrote. See if it matches up with the robbery story.

America's Most Innovative Companies
Ash is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Changing the world is not an easy task, but there are still companies out there giving it a go. Companies like Google (NASDAQ: GOOG) have lots of cash and lots of ways in which to spend it, while companies like Tesla Motors (NASDAQ: TSLA) are focused on changing the world in one specific area. These companies, and some of their counterparts, have the future ahead of them. They're working on projects that are before their time. These projects may succeed, or they could fail, but some of them are definitely worth the risk. Let's take a look at some of America's most innovative companies.
Google is the top of my "Most Innovative" list. This $250 billon company may have started out as a search engine but over time it has evolved into so much more than that. Sure, they still generate a majority of their revenues from search, but I'm willing to bet that we'll see that switch over the next 5-10 years.
There are far too many projects and products at Google to list in this article, I think they'd actually fill a page or two, but there are a few that stand out as truly innovative things that could change the way the world works.
Google Wallet is one of those projects. Wallet is an application that runs on Android phones and allows payments via NFC enabled devices. I actually use this feature at least once a week, I'd be willing to use it more if more places started accepting it. The service allows you to leave your wallet at home and still pay in a variety of places. I've used it without a hiccup in American Eagle, McDonald's and at vending machines. This technology could disrupt the multi-billion dollar credit card processing industry and Google could be at the helm of it.
Google Fiber is another favorite of mine, and one that I eagerly await expansion of. The project currently provides gigabit fiber internet to customers in Kansas City. Best part is, it doesn't cost an arm and a leg, something that Comcast would no doubt try to charge for such a connection. With full expansion of this service there's no doubting that Comcast, Time Warner, and a handful of others will be incredibly annoyed.
The final innovative project on my list, and one that Forbes estimates to be worth some $2 trillion per year is the driverless car that Google have been working on. I don't need to go too much into this, you can probably figure out why such a thing would change the entire planet in countless ways, YouTube some videos of it in action.
You can have all of these projects, and hundreds more in your portfolio for around $750 per share, at the time of writing. That means you'll be paying around 23 times earnings for a piece of the company, something I don't typically do. In this instance though, I think I'd be willing to compromise as Google is averaging 23.57% revenue growth over the last five years and 22.52% EPS growth over the same time period.
Tesla Motors
Not straying too far away from the vehicle industry, I introduce you to Tesla Motors. Tesla Motors is a $4.3 billion company that makes luxury electric vehicles.
Tesla is still in its infancy as a company and it is hard to know how far, or even in which direction this company could go. Right now, they are definitely a higher end vehicle manufacturer. Their vehicles are priced right around a Mercedes E-Class, something that most families in the U.S. just can't afford to drive.
I think as prices of batteries come down, if they ever do, then Tesla should be able to make vehicles that anyone can afford. Will they be the only ones doing it? Probably not, but they will be the most well-known name in the electric vehicle industry.
Tesla obviously comes with its investing risks. The company hasn't made a profit, their revenues are shaky and they're reliant on limited luxury products. I'd buy a Tesla but I'm not sure that I'd buy the stock at this stage. It has been on the rise quite a lot lately and that has left the chance at something great costing too much for me.
I think that Tesla is definitely a company for the watch list but I'd wait until earnings and revenues look a bit more consistent before pulling the trigger.
I think that I have to include IBM on my list of innovative companies as they're constantly filing and being granted patents that can change the world. All of these patents come together, along with the company's services, to present a solid, century old, $230 billion company.
What first opened my eyes to the innovation of IBM was Watson. Watson was a computer that a team at IBM built to search data quickly and come up with rapid fire answers. The machine debuted when it took on two of Jeopardy's greatest contestants. Watson won, decisively.
You've probably seen the commercials that IBM has on the TV about how they are trying to create a smarter planet, that's the type of innovation this article was looking for. IBM is big into data, logistics, and all sorts of other cool tech stuff that will no doubt lead the planet into the future. Whether they are building new traffic systems to help relieve traffic, helping police stop crime before it happens, or helping the world use less resources, IBM is innovative in nature.
Out of the three companies in the article, IBM is the best priced. The company is trading at only 14.25 times earnings. Their EPS growth over the last five years has been an incredible 14.54% and they're even paying a dividend which is growing at 16.04% annually over the last five years.
With their massive patent portfolio and their countless innovative ideas, IBM should be a great addition to any portfolio, even yours!

By: Lynda Hollenbeck
Mark Twain is credited with saying: "If man could be crossed with the cat, it would improve the man but deteriorate the cat."
The master storyteller/author/humorist is high on my list for many things, not the least of which is his admiration for the feline.
Cats have many attributes that I find intriguing, such as their curious nature. The adage "curiosity killed the cat" obviously has merit.
If you doubt this, throw a paper sack on the floor of a room where there are several cats and watch how many try to get inside it. It can turn into a competition in a hurry.
My mother-in-law's philosophy was basically this: "If you can't say something good about somebody, don't say anything at all."
The worth of this concept becomes especially significant during political campaigns. It would be a giant step for mankind if all candidates were to embrace the thinking of the late Winnie Hollenbeck.
She truly practiced what she preached. Once when a ne'er-do-well died in her hometown, someone pondered what words of kindness might be said at his funeral.
Winnie offered this suggestion: "Well, he was the best whistler in town."
By: Lynda Hollenbeck
Remember when "doing one's colors" was the big thing?
Personally, I thought the concept was ridiculous. Who in her right mind would actually give money to somebody to drape a bunch of fabric in varying shades around her face and say "you're a spring" or "you're a summer"?
This would be followed by such commentary as "you can wear red (or blue or yellow or purple, etc.) because it's in your palette."
This color analysis was a huge thing for a while. I never got into it because I said I was capable of doing my colors myself with just me and my mirror.

This is the story of the denim dress that hangs in my closet. The denim dress with buttons down the front and tiers at the skirts so it flares out at the bottom. The denim dress that my mother bought for me because it looked so cute with my black cowboy boots. The denim dress that didn't even come with me when I moved to Arkansas because I am still afraid to wear it.

A renewed emphasis on healthy living currently prevails at the Saline Courier office.
This started when 11 employees bonded in an effort to reduce body mass index, lose weight and generally adapt a healthier way of living.
This is in marked contrast to the old days here when you could bring in anything close to edible, slap it down on a communal counter top and watch it start to disappear before you got back to your desk.
Many people agree that an internship is a valuable and necessary part of an individual's career development. However, if you were in college before the 1980s, chances are you never did anything called interning. So how did interning become a supposed necessity for today's job seekers?
When I was growing up in Eastern Arkansas, I had never heard of Junior Achievement. In fact, I was unfamiliar with this economic education program until recent years — or so I thought anyway.
Junior Achievement is noted for its role in imparting leadership and entrepreneurial skills to school children, which certainly sounds commendable in preparing kids for the workforce.

Whether bane or blessing, I was born with naturally curly hair.
Correction: Make that naturally wavy hair.
The result of such is that my hair has a mind of its own.
Theoretically, I could have a new hairdo every day — sometimes even changing at intervals throughout the day — although such is far from my intention.
As it is, every day is a surprise hair-wise, no matter what is done in an effort to make it do one way or another. This causes much frustration, to say the least.
I once said that if I were a hairstylist, I would change my phone number to 223-4247.

EDIT: It turns out you can't run a raffle in North Carolina. Who knew?? Probably most people, and I should have researched that beforehand, during the first blush of "oh I know a way to drum up some money for TCAF tickets!" So I'm going to treat this as a funding drive. At the end of the drive, which I'm going to move up to Monday, January 28, I'll do a number of random giveaways, based on the total proceeds. I can't call it a "raffle," but I will work out a way to honor the original intent and amount of any donations already received, as well as any going forward. If you have any problems at all with this, just email me and I'll cheerfully refund your donation in full. And thanks for your patience with my blurry language as I try to ferret out a path through this publicly.
Original post below:
So here's a thing I'm going to do, one week from today, to cobble together some money to buy my flight to Toronto and this summer's Toronto Comic Arts Festival. I'm going to raffle off a set of more-or-less everything I have for sale, including stuff that's long gone (where I still have copies). $1 a throw, no catch, just Paypal me $1 or more here, and I'll stick your name in a little Excel sheet. If you send $10, I'll stick your name in 10 times. On Friday February 1 I'll have someone pick a random number, and the winner will get all this stuff shipped to them totally free, anywhere in the world.
There's a complete list of everything so far at my site, and if/when I add items or additional prizes, they'll appear there too. Thanks in advance if you can spread that around a little bit—it's around $375 worth of stuff (*gulp*), so the $1 a ticket thing works best if there are a lot of $1's in there.

#1 Team in Canada Defeats Evergreen by 9
December 3, 2002
by Devin Jones
BURNABY, BC - Home court advantage is always nice to have in the game of basketball, and on Tuesday night, the Clan from Simon Fraser University was proud to have such an advantage.
The Geoducks jumped on the Clan from the tip-off and quickly had a 15-4 lead. Simon Fraser (the #1 team in all of Canada) then changed their defensive tactics and slowed down the Geoduck attack, and went on a 13-2 run to tie the game at 17 apiece.
The remainder of the first half was relatively even and the Geoducks were happy to end the half up by three, 33-30. Especially after shooting a terrible 1-13 (7%) from the three point line, and only being awarded two free throws, compared to Simon Fraser's twelve.
The second half began nearly the same way the first half ended with the Geoducks claiming a small lead. However, the Clan kept fighting and took the lead from the Geoducks with about 15 minutes remaining in the game. After the Clan took the lead, the home court advantage kicked in, and the Clan ended the game with an 89-80 victory.
The Geoducks watched, helplessly, as Simon Fraser shot 30 second half free throws compared to Evergreen's 12. Free throws would prove to be the difference in the game as the Clan went 32-42 (76%) from the line and Evergreen went 11-14 (78%). The Geoducks had four players foul out, and were called for a total of 33 fouls for the game.
Simon Fraser had four players score in double figures, led by Pasha Baines who had 26 points on 5-10 shooting. Baines went 14-18 from the free throw line and also had 11 rebounds.
Jordan Mason contributed 20 points (7-12) for the Clan, Brent Charleton added 17 points (5-9) and 5 rebounds and went 7-10 from the free throw line, and Shaun Halverson chipped in 12 points, shooting a perfect 5-5 from the field. Halverson also grabbed 9 rebounds, 5 offensive, for the game.
The Geoducks were led by senior Mike Parker (Washington DC / Clover Park HS) who had a team high 24 points on 11-20 shooting. Parker also had 4 rebounds, 4 assists, and snatched 7 steals from Simon Fraser.
Haikima Moore (Dallas, Tex. / Allen HS) and Marvin Isaac (Inglewood, Cal. / Inglewood HS) were the only other players in double figures for Evergreen. Moore had a season-high 20 points (7-13), and Isaac scored 10 points for the Geoducks in the loss.
"We knew it would be tough to play here," said Geoducks Head Coach John Barbee, "it's a different country, with some different rules…we played pretty well tonight and we're just going to keep getting better."
Evergreen will have a few days of rest before they get back on the court Saturday night when they face Lewis-Clark State College. The game will be a re-match from a battle between the two teams a week ago, when the Geoducks defeated Lewis-Clark 82-73.
That evening the 2001-02 Geoducks will be honored for last years Cascade Conference Championship with the revealing of the championship banner and a presentation of the Geoducks championship rings. The ceremony will take place before the men tip-off at 8:00 p.m.

Fourth Telephone Workshop for Cancer Survivors Slated for July 13
The final telephone workshop in NCI's annual "Living With, Through, and Beyond Cancer" series will be held July 13 from 1:30 to 2:30 p.m. EDT. Part IV of the series is titled "Survivors Too: Communicating With and Among Family, Friends and Loved Ones."
The free series offers cancer survivors, their families, friends, and health care professionals practical information to help them cope with concerns and issues that arise after treatment ends. The workshops are presented by CancerCare, in collaboration with NCI, LIVESTRONG, the Intercultural Cancer Council, Living Beyond Breast Cancer, and the National Coalition for Cancer Survivorship.
Speakers for the July 13 workshop include Suzanne Martz-Dones of Montefiore Medical Center, Dr. Laurel Northouse of the University of Michigan Comprehensive Cancer Center, and Dr. Frances Lewis of the University of Washington.
These workshops are free; no phone charges apply. To register, visit the CancerCare Web site.
If you missed parts I, II, or III of the series, recordings are available online via podcast.
NCI Program Will Aid Development and Validation of Trial Assays
NCI's Division of Cancer Treatment and Diagnosis has established a new program called the Clinical Assay Development Program (CADP) to aid the development and validation of clinical assays used in clinical trials. These assays are often integral components of phase III and large phase II clinical trials. NCI has issued a request for proposals (RFP) to identify laboratories that can help in the development of these assays.
The laboratories that enroll in this program must have expertise in one or more of the following technologies: immunohistochemistry (IHC), enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), in situ hybridization, quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), quantitative PCR, and DNA sequencing. Additional technologies may be required in the future.
Using reference sets of specimens, the labs that will comprise the clinical assay development network will assess reproducibility, robustness, inter- and intra-laboratory variability, and other relevant measures of assay performance and utility.
NCI's Program for the Assessment of Clinical Cancer Tests (PACCT) has contributed significantly to progress in the field of biomarker development and clinical application. More information is available about this program and how to access the RFP, which closes on July 23.
Budget, Clinical Trials, and Training Highlighted at NCAB Meeting
The National Cancer Advisory Board's (NCAB) second meeting of 2010 was held in Bethesda, MD, on June 22–23. NCI Director Dr. John Niederhuber provided an update on the NCI budget, including plans for the fourth quarter of FY2010.
NCAB members also discussed the recent Institute of Medicine report on the National Cancer Clinical Trials System and heard presentations on the NCI Operational Efficiency Working Group and NCI's training programs.
The agenda and a videocast of the meeting are now available.
NCI Scientists Awarded 2010 Federal Laboratory Consortium Awards
Three NCI technologies and the inventors were awarded the Federal Laboratory Consortium for Technology Transfer's (FLC) 2010 Technology of the Year Award on April 29. This award recognizes those who have done an outstanding job in transferring technology developed in a Federal laboratory to partners in the private sector, and is awarded to only a few of the hundreds of Federal laboratories, research centers, and facilities represented by the FLC.
Dr. Donald Court and Nina Costantino of the Gene Regulation and Chromosome Biology Laboratory in NCI's Center for Cancer Research were recognized for their work in the development of a recombination-mediated genetic engineering, or recombineering, technology. The technology has revolutionized genetic engineering techniques, including modifying genes used for cloning and generating knockout mice where an existing gene is replaced or disrupted in order to study what the gene normally does. Over 1,100 nonprofit researchers have received the technology thus far and it has been licensed to 18 commercial entities.
Dr. Jeffrey Schlom, chief of CCR's Laboratory of Tumor Immunology and Biology, was recognized for his work on a new therapeutic prostate cancer vaccine, PROSTVAC. The vaccine induces a specific, targeted immune response that attacks prostate cancer cells. Numerous clinical trials have shown that the vaccine has a good safety profile and may be an effective option for the treatment of advanced prostate cancer. The vaccine is being developed through a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement and license partnership with BN ImmunoTherapeutics.
Drs. Frederic Kaye, Adi Gazdar, John Minna, and Bruce Johnson, formerly of CCR's Genetics Branch, were recognized for their contributions toward the development of a cell line bank of approximately 439 human tumors. The cell lines contain a mutation that makes them sensitive to the presence of growth-inhibiting drugs and are valuable research tools for identifying compounds with therapeutic potential against cancer. These cell lines have been the subject of more licenses than any other biological material at NCI and can be used by scientists to screen thousands of compounds for anticancer activity.
Finally, as noted earlier this year, CCR Director Dr. Robert H. Wiltrout was named FLC's Lab Director of the Year and received the award at the FLC national meeting on April 29.
PARADE Magazine Spotlights Cancer in America
On June 20, PARADE magazine devoted its weekly edition to a special report on cancer. Among those contributing to the periodical was NIH Director, Dr. Francis Collins. His article, entitled "The Cancer You Can Beat," highlights scientific progress against colorectal cancer.
PARADE is a staple in over 500 newspapers across the United States, reaching about 32 million Americans each Sunday.
NCI and Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences Host caBIG Workshop
On June 22, NCI held an educational workshop showcasing efforts to share biomedical data among institutions in the United States and China featuring NCI's cancer Biomedical Informatics Grid (caBIG). The NCI Center for Bioinformatics and NCI's Office of China Cancer Programs (OCCP) led the workshop planning for the Institute. The workshop took place in Beijing and was hosted by the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences (CAMS).
Dr. Kenneth Buetow, director of NCI's Center for Biomedical Informatics and Information Technology (CBIIT), delivered a welcome address by video message. John Speakman, associate director of Clinical Products and Programs for CBIIT, and Sorena Nadaf, director of Translational Informatics at UCSF Helen Diller Family Comprehensive Cancer Center, discussed how caBIG tools are used to manage clinical trial and biospecimen data.
In addition to an introduction to caBIG, attendees learned about national data sharing efforts in China led by CAMS, joint initiatives planned between Peking Union Medical College and UCSF, and a collaborative clinical research study between Duke University and Peking University that is using caBIG tools to support data exchange and analysis. Participants also discussed opportunities for implementing new U.S.–China cooperation using caBIG tools in scientific areas, including cancer epidemiology and biobanking. Dr. Julie Schneider, OCCP Program Director, noted, "Developing technical platforms through initiatives such as caBIG to encourage a culture of biomedical data sharing is critical to advancing research partnerships between scientists working in the United States, China, and around the world."

The second day of Spring began like it was winter as cold temperatures, wind, rain and snow hit parts of Western Washington Thursday.
While some areas were relatively untouched by the storm, many were caught off guard in Issaquah as hail turned quickly into snow just before 4 p.m. It blanketed the roadways and created a scary situation for drivers as cars spun out and traffic on Issaquah-Hobart Road was stopped.
"It just came out of nowhere," said Rob Dolliver, driver. "You could see all the cars going, they had snow on them and then we just hit it."
I-90 was closed in both directions for several hours. Earlier, State Route 18 was closed through Tiger Mountain due to multiple spin-outs; both directions have since re-opened.
The National Weather Service office in Portland, Ore., confirms a weak tornado packing winds of 65 to 85 mph ripped apart a barn in Hockinson, Wash., near Vancouver. No one was hurt.
An additional band of local snow showers could develop in Skagit County overnight.
"Again, local accumulations of an inch or so of slushy snow will be possible," Renner added. "Expect lows in the low to mid 30's."

Wisconsin Defeats Michigan State, 30-7
Dec. 8, 2013
EAST LANSING, Mich. - No. 11 Mike McClure recorded a major decision over sixth-ranked Connor Medbery at heavyweight, but the Michigan State wrestling team fell to Wisconsin, 30-7, in the Big Ten opener Sunday afternoon at Jenison Field House. John Rizqallah also recorded a victory over a ranked wrestler with a 6-4 win over No. 15 Jackson Hein at 184 pounds.
The Badgers (8-3, 2-0 Big Ten) won the first seven matches of the dual before Rizqallah's win at 184 and McClure's major decision at heavyweight.
In the first match after intermission, Bobby Nash battled Frank Cousins to a 3-3 tie after three periods at 165 pounds, but Cousins notched a takedown just 13 seconds into the sudden victory period to win 5-3.
Rizqallah put MSU on the board with a solid 6-4 decision against Hein at 184. Rizqallah led the entire match, beginning with a takedown midway through the first. He added a takedown with 40 seconds left in the second period to go up 5-1, but Hein trimmed the lead to 5-4 late in the third. With a 1:07 advantage in riding time, Rizqallah held off Hein in the final seconds and tacked on an extra point to record the 6-4 win.
At 197 pounds, Nick McDiarmid lost a hard-fought decision to Timmy McCall, 3-2. With the match tied at 1 in the third period, McCall delivered a takedown with 45 seconds left, which proved to be the difference.
In the marquee match of the dual at heavyweight, McClure led the entire way as he avenged a 6-2 loss to Medbery from last season. McClure recorded a takedown one minute into the match, and registered his second takedown of the dual with a double leg midway through the second to go up 4-2. McClure was dominant in the third period, as he had a reversal, takedown and near-fall points while recording 2:17 of riding time to walk away with the 12-4 major decision.
Michigan State will take a break from dual action and travel to Cedar Falls, Iowa, for the Northern Iowa Open on Saturday, Dec. 14.

First, Ed Sheeran got a Grammy nomination. Now, he's got a royal title...sort of. The singer has been dubbed "Baron von Edward Sheeran" by the independent state of Sealand, which is actually an offshore rig sitting in the sea seven miles from the coast of England.
Here's what happened: in 1967, a guy called Roy Bates moved to the structure, which was originally built by the British government to house anti-aircraft guns during World War II. Bates declared it an independent sovereign state, and his family has owned it ever since.
Bates' grandson James Bates is now the self-styled Prince Royal of Sealand, and he tells the BBC , "One of our avid supporters said he'd been speaking to Ed and telling him the story of Sealand and he found the whole thing fascinating and asked if he would be able to get a title, so we've conferred the title of baron on him."
Ed's version of the story, as he explained it on Twitter, goes like this: "A friend of a friend owns an oil rig that got made into a country legally, and called Sealand, which made him the king of Sealand...Which means he can give out titles to people. So he's given me the title of Baron von Edward Sheeran. I am a Baron. Awesome s***."
He also tweeted link to an Instagram photo of the framed certificate that gives him the title. "Epic," wrote Ed.
