Yeast Pie Crust
Are you frustrated rolling out difficult-to-work short doughs? Then try our flaky, simple-to-use yeast version.
This recipe makes 2 pie crusts
|1/2 cup
|Vegetable Oil
|1/4 cup
|1 tsp
|1/4 cup
|Bread Flour
|3 cups
|Active Dry Yeast
|2+1/4 tsp
|Streusel Topping
|Brown Sugar
|1 tsp
Bread Machine Method
Have water at 80°F and all other ingredients at room temperature. Place ingredients in pan in the order specified in your owner's manual. Select dough/manual cycle. Do not use the delay timer. Check dough consistency after 5 minutes of kneading. The dough should be in a soft, tacky ball. If it is dry and stiff, add water, 1/2 to 1 TBSP at a time. If it is too wet and sticky, add 1 TBSP of flour at a time. See our Bread Machine section for more helpful tips and information.
Mixer Methods
Combine yeast, 1 cup flour, and other dry ingredients. Combine water, milk and oil; and heat to 120°-130°F.
Hand-Held Mixer Method: Combine dry mixture and liquid ingredients in mixing bowl on low speed. Beat 2 to 3 minutes on medium speed. Add egg; beat 1 minute. By hand, stir in enough remaining flour to make a firm dough. Knead on floured surface 5 to 7 minutes or until smooth and elastic. Use additional flour if necessary. Place dough in lightly oiled bowl and turn to grease top. Cover; let rise until dough tests ripe.
Stand Mixer Method: Combine dry mixture and liquid ingredients in mixing bowl with paddle or beaters for 4 minutes on medium speed. Add egg; beat 1 minute. Gradually add remaining flour and knead with dough hook(s) 5 to 7 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place dough in lightly oiled bowl and turn to grease top. Cover; let rise until dough tests ripe.
Food Processor Method: Put dry mixture in processing bowl with steel blade. While motor is running, add liquid ingredients and egg. Process until mixed. Continue processing, adding remaining flour until dough forms a ball. Place dough in lightly oiled bowl and turn to grease top. Cover; let rise until dough tests ripe.
Rising, Shaping and Baking
Turn dough onto lightly floured surface; punch down to remove air bubbles. Divide dough into 2 pieces. Roll one piece into a 12-inch circle to fit a 10-inch pie plate. Press into the pie plate; flute edges. Pour prepared pie filling into shell. Combine Streusel Topping ingredients and crumble over filling. Bake in preheated 400°F oven for 15 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 325°F and bake additional 20 to 25 minutes. Serve warm or cold.
Baker's Note: Remaining portion of dough can be frozen for later use.
You can substitute Instant (fast-rising) yeast for Active Dry Yeast. Traditional methods- replace 1:1. Expect your dough to rise faster; always let your dough rise until 'ripe'. Bread Machines- use 1/2 tsp Instant yeast (or 3/4 tsp Active Dry yeast) per cup of flour in your recipe. Visit our Lessons in Yeast & Baking for more information.

By Deborah Charles
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The Democratic-led Senate on Thursday sent the House of Representatives a measure to fund disaster aid by twice as much as the House wants to spend -- laying the groundwork for another political showdown.
The Senate voted 62-37 to approve $6.9 billion to cover disaster response until October 2012.
But the measure is unlikely to pass the Republican-led House, which prefers to offset spending increases with cuts in another part of the budget.
After a record year for natural disasters, the Federal Emergency Management Agency is running short on funds to help victims of hurricanes, tornadoes and wildfires.
FEMA had to suspend some payments for longer-term projects to have enough money to distribute to victims of last month's Hurricane Irene and other recent disasters. President Barack Obama has asked for $5.1 billion to boost FEMA's coffers.
Lawmakers from both parties say they want to help the disaster victims in a year in which Obama has declared a disaster in 48 of the 50 states. They just disagree on how.
"This is the only vehicle that we have before us to do long-term full funding for disaster relief," said Democratic Senator Mary Landrieu of Louisiana. "Sending a strong vote from the Senate today will help us negotiate with the House."
Next week the House will consider a proposal that includes $1 billion in disaster aid to be made available right away. The money would be included in a must-pass spending bill to keep the government running past September 30.
House Republicans said the $1 billion would be offset by cutting a program that promotes electric vehicles.
Landrieu criticized the House plan as being a short-term proposal that will just partially fund a limited number of disaster relief programs for six weeks.
"You cannot budget for disaster relief in six-week segments," Landrieu said in a letter to House Speaker John Boehner. "Disaster recovery does not work that way ... . You cannot rebuild communities with six-week plans."
Senators from both parties, particularly those from disaster-struck states, have said recovery aid should not get tangled up in the partisan bickering that has dominated Washington budget talks this year.

Pebbles to Boulders: Making History
In the Brantford area, there are three curling clubs, 15 sheets of ice. Brantford Golf and Country Club, Paris Curling Club and Brant Curling Club are all within a few minutes of one another. Years ago, youth curling thrived in all clubs, but for some reason, junior curling disappeared at the Brant. Then in the early 1990's, a group of keenly interested parents introduced the first Little Rock program at the Brant CC and brought youth curling back to the area. This was the start of a marvellous transformation that would create history and leave a legacy for the Brant Curling Club.
With support from the Board of Directors, a couple of sheets of Cross Link Technology Little Rocks were purchased. A small group of very young curlers started practicing on Sunday afternoons. As the years went by, that small number of curlers grew and grew, and more Little Rocks were purchased. After only a few years, all five sheets of ice had a set of Little Rocks in order to support the over 40 young curlers showing up to curl. As the Little Rockers grew older, those keenly interested parents revived the junior curling program at the Brant Curling Club. After much success, the junior section was split in two, making a bantam age group and junior age group.
Back to those Little Rockers – their numbers continued to grow to over 60, forcing that group to split up so fair ice time could be enjoyed by all. In about ten years, the Brant went from having no youth curling, to accommodating about 120 young curlers over four different draw times and filling the club on Sunday afternoons with kids and parents.
"It is funny how things work out. How a small group of dedicated parents back in the 1990's came up with an idea," notes Sean Bryant, President of the Brant Curling Club, "and then a whole new generation of curlers was created."
This development and progress was not without its frustrations for those volunteers trying to operate the Little Rock program. Since Little Rockers and its programming across Canada was still relatively new, there was no guide or direction to follow. Junior curling programming has been around for decades, but dealing with Little Rockers was very different from dealing with juniors. So the Brant Curling Club Little Rock volunteers started to become more organized and placed ideas on paper. These ideas ranged from what to do on the ice with the kids from week to week to how to greet the young curlers each week and record attendance; how to run social activities; looking after fees and early season communications; finding sponsors and fundraising; even ice set up and half-way hacks for the really young curlers. This detailed information caught the attention of Curl Ontario and the Canadian Curling Association. Soon afterwards, the Brant Curling Club program information was combined with the fine work created at the Oshawa Curling Club to make the Tim Hortons Little Rock Resource Guide. Ever since, this guide has been a valuable resource for clubs needing direction on how to prepare a Little Rock program.
"Our program continues to evolve as the needs of the kids change," says Mr. Bryant, "but the basic foundation of program organization remains the same from when the Little Rock Resource Guide was developed."
The club utilizes the outside ice sheets, 1 and 5, for the half length sheet and even a three-quarter length sheet, complete with extra painted houses on those ices. The extra painted houses and hack set-up gives the kids the feel of real curling over a shorter distance, without having to the drag the rocks back to one end and wasting valuable ice time.
The Christmas Party and Closing Party are major events where goodies and awards are presentated. Food and treats are big highlights. The Family Fun Day allows the kids to play skip and third, with parents filling the front end positions.
Without effective use of adult volunteers, the organization of over 70 Little Rockers would become chaos. Sean Bryant is quick to speak highly of key folks like Scott Hawthorne, Janice Baldwin and a group of high schoolers who care for the on-ice business, with Nancy Hunsley caring for the admin functions off-ice.
The three curling clubs in the Brantford area are very active with youth curling programming, and that means another note of history is highlighted for Brantford: the Brant Curling Club contributed to the creation of the very first how-to guide for Little Rock curling.
For more information or if you think your club needs a Little Rock Resource Guide, contact the Canadian Curling Association. http://www.curling.ca/about-the-organization/contact-us/

The coastal port city of SAFI, halfway between El Jadida and Essaouira, with an old Medina in its centre, walled and turreted by the Portuguese, has a strong industrial-artisan tradition, with a whole quarter devoted to pottery workshops. These have a virtual monopoly on the green, heavily glazed roof tiles used on palaces and mosques, as well as providing Morocco's main pottery exports, in the form of bowls, plates and garden pots.
Safi has two main squares, Place de l'Indépendance, just south of the Medina, and Place Mohammed V on the higher ground in the Ville Nouvelle (also known as the Plateau).Read More
And the sardines?
And the sardines?
Safi's famed sardines are caught in the deeper waters of the Atlantic, from Boujdour in the south to Safi in the north. There are around five hundred 18- to 20-metre wooden trawlers in the town fleet and you can still see them being made in the boatyards at Safi, Essaouira and Agadir. The fleet lands 350,000 tonnes of sardines annually (seventy percent of the country's total seafood catch) and most of them are canned in Safi. Increasingly, those caught further south are landed at the nearest port and brought to Safi in refrigerated trucks. Most of the tins get sold abroad – Morocco being the world's largest exporter of sardines.

Orangel Arenas was the story Saturday night in North Little Rock as he pitched a two-hit, complete game against the Drillers to pick up his fourth win of the year. Tulsa recorded a season low two hits and lost 3-1 due to a gem by the Arkansas right-hander. Arenas faced only 28 of a minimum 27 batters and threw only 82 pitches.
Tulsa starter Parker Frazier allowed nine hits and three runs in six innings of work while striking out two.
Corey Dickerson started the scoring in the fourth with a long fly ball down the right field line and over the wall for his sixth homer of the season with the Drillers and fifteenth overall in 2012.
Travelers second baseman Renny Osuna singled on a ground ball to right field to start the bottom of the fourth inning. Ryan Mount then stepped to the plate and gave his best Dickerson impression driving a ball over the right field wall to take a 2-1 lead.
Singles to right field by Roberto Lopez and Casey Haerther continued the Travs rally in the inning. Brian Hernandez then bunted to third baseman Nolan Arenado for the sacrifice to move the runners to second and third. With the Drillers infield on the grass, Carlos Ramirez singled past shortstop Warren Schaeffer and into left field scoring Lopez and advancing Haerther to third. Frazier was able to get Angel Castillo to ground out to third to end the inning.
In the bottom of the fifth inning, Angels top prospect Jean Segura led off with a triple into the right-center field gap. Manager Duane Espy brought his infield in once again and it paid off. Travis Witherspoon grounded out to Schaeffer at short for the first out. With the infield still in, Osuna lined out to Schaeffer at short who threw to Arenado at third to double off Segura to end the fifth inning threat.
The Drillers were unable to mount a comeback in the top of the ninth and dropped their third game in as many nights and second against the Travs.
Josh Sullivan and Mike Marbry both contributed a scoreless inning in relief of Frazier.
Tulsa will send left-hander Josh Outman (1-1, 3.38 ERA) to the mound to face Arkansas pitcher Matt Oye (2-5, 4.46 ERA) on Sunday evening. Start time at Dickey Stevens Park is 6:00 PM.

Review: Sin and Punishment: Star Successor
I died. Again. The boss keeps hitting me with that horizontal swipe. I have to find a sign for when this attack might be coming. She moves forward a little bit and raises her arm slightly every time. Alright, when I see that, I got to be ready to dodge.
Crap, I died again. Alright, I have the horizontal swipes down, now what can I do about those annoying yellow needles that she rains down on me in her first form? If I use my charge shot, it destroys them. Alright, I'll play defensively and find ways of avoiding her attacks and take the bigger charged shots when they're available to me.
Got her. Finally. It may have taken 20 minutes just to beat this one boss but now I'm even better at dodging and I learned the importance of using defense to help my offense.
The anecdote above describes my battle with the final boss of Stage 4. In retrospect, she wasn't that hard, I just was not using the right strategy. However, when I first ran into to her, I had no idea how what to do and died before her second form.
For me, nothing is more gratifying than overcoming a challenge and after dying three more times, I thought I might be stuck. I trudged through each loss though, and with each death, I learned more about her patterns, adapted, and overcame. The game challenged me to learn its ticks and use them for my advantage. That's beautiful game design.
Sin and Punishment: Star Successor is a perfect example of how to create a unique gameplay experience that is different than other consoles. Using the Wiimote to aim and the joystick to move is the perfect way to enjoy an on-rails shooter like this one. Add on a ruthless multiplier system that increases as you kill and lessens as you get hit, and you have a high score blood-thirst like Star Fox 64.
Treasure, the developer of Sin and Punishment, has had a great history making bullet-hell shooters. You might remember them for the Sega Genesis classic Gunstar Heroes or you might remember them for the Nintendo 64 sleeper hit, Mischief Makers. I only mention this because this Sin and Punishment game follows in this style trend, so if you like any of their games before you're likely to like this one as well.
Graphically speaking, the game is very pretty. You and your enemies' energy shots will constantly light up the screen and for the majority of the time, there will be more things that can kill you on the screen than there is space for you. Just don't look at the character models too hard, you might mistake this game for a PSX title on that alone.
There is a story too, but trust me when I say you won't care. Some chick named Kachi is kind-of human and Isa, an actual human, is protecting her from bad guys who transform into big scary things that you kill. Whatever. Also, the voice acting is terrible, just like the Nintendo 64 version.
Seriously though, this game is about blowing stuff up with a simple laser cannon in classic shooter style. There are no upgrades or different weapons. This isn't a knock against the game, Sin and Punishment is a pure, simple-looking shooter.
I say simple-looking because while the controls are simple, the game is hard. My first playthrough was on Normal difficulty and by Stage 6 I wanted to eat the Wiimote out of frustration. Hard mode is even more maddening but, once you have the boss patterns down and can execute a strategy, the difficulty ramp-up isn't unbearable.
All-in-all, I give this game a buy it. Sure, you'll "beat" the game in two days but, you'll want to come back and increase your high score. You'll want to see if you can get through the entire game without dying. You'll then want to see how far you can get without getting hit. In addition, the replay value on this game is endless because there are online leaderboards for high scores. Good luck getting a high ranking!
That was an impressive information. Keep up the good work and keep on sharing useful information.
This satisfying and energetic on-rails shooter had impressed me with its relentless variety. I really like the game! - Markus Lattner


text: World ARC 2010/11 formally came to a close last night with a prizegiving dinner at the Royal Saint Lucian hotel in Rodney Bay. Rally crews and their guests sat down to a wonderful dinner before crews were called up in turn to receive gifts and prizes to mark their tremendous achievements during World ARC. As the crews gathered for welcome drinks they were superbly entertained by a local Saint Lucian steel pan band which ensured a lively start to this evening of celebration. The food was excellent and it was also great to be joined by local supporters of World ARC, who had contributed to the event in Saint Lucia, during it's departure and return. To begin the prizegiving, the crews were welcomed back to Saint Lucia by Senator The Honourable Alan Chastanet, Minister for Tourism & Civil Aviation in Saint Lucia, who outlined how important yachting was to Saint Lucia and how pleased he was to see World ARC's return to the country's shores. Following on from this welcome, World ARC Event Manager, Paul Tetlow, began the presentation of awards to each boat, including anedotes and memories of each crew's journey during the last 15 months. Each crew received a plaque to acknowledge their participation, certificates to mark their achievements and a bottle of Chairman's Reserve rum. The crews also received a mystery prize. The last crew to receive their prizes was that of Eowyn, a Hallberg Rassy 40, skippered by Graham Payne and crewed by Mike Birch and on the recent legs, Bob Glassman. They had been invited up last for a special reason and that was they were also awarded the Spirit of World ARC Award in recognition of their actions to support other Rally boats who found themselves in difficulty whilst at sea. Eowyn was pivotal in the safe conclusion to incidents involving Bristol Rose, on Leg 3 of the Rally and Basia on the last leg. Graham demonstrated superb communication and leadership skills throughout both incidents, and with the help of his crew and other boats, contributed to the safe outcome of these events. Well done Eowyn! The crews then opened their mystery prize – a photobook of 400 pictures put together to tell the story of the places and crews of World ARC 2010/11 Andrew Bishop, Managing Director of World Cruising Club then thanked the Saint Lucia Tourist Board for supporting the event and all the other contributors to of World ARC. Having thanked his team for helping to deliver the event, Andrew concluded by thanking and congratulating the most important people of World ARC – the crews. They have 'sailed the course and subsequently joined the unique club of circumnavigators.' Their 'achievement is one which most sailors can only dream of' The yachts will disperse to continue their cruising and passage making. Meanwhile, 30 plus skippers and crews continue with their preparations to leave Saint Lucia in January, 2012 with the next event, World ARC 2012/13

Three MotoGP races will be held in America in 2013 after it was confirmed the Circuit of the Americas clash in Texas will definitely go ahead.
The race will be staged on April 21 and is likely to be the second round of next year's world championship with major doubts about whether a scheduled race in Argentina will go ahead on...

I am in agreement about Brands it would be great to get a MotoGp round there - however I don't think it will ever happen because Brands would need to spend humungous amounts of money to bring the safety aspect up to the required level. A major upgrade of the circuit was turned down a couple of years ago because re-construction woul require the destruction of ancient woodland.
It all comes to down to politics as that's what MotoGP is about these days.

I thought Dorna were trying to cut costs in the recession not increase them!!! Plus the fact they get very poor attendance ,especially Indy , at the American rounds compared to the European rounds. Other flyaway rounds are not to clever either ,Qatar for example.Would have thought it more cost effective to cut down on the Transworld trips and increase the European rounds as there's a lot of great circuits they don't even mention going to. On top of all this the Yanks don't really give a monkee's about MotoGP so why give them 3 rounds?

I will agree that motorcycle racing in America is sadly under-attended. However, this new track near Austin Texas will pull in a much larger attendence than Indy and probably rival Laguna Seca. For one thing, the weather in April is nice in Austin...not too hot and hardly ever cold. Texas is well populated at almost 26 million people. Austin metro area alone is over 2 million. Also, here in the South, we have a huge sport-riding/sport-touring population and many of us are really excited about this race. Several of my friends and I from Arkansas are planning on riding down to Austin in April for the race!!! WPS! (Woo! Pig! Sooie!...Razorbacks!)

As a Californian I've been to Laguna many times since 1980, and started going back regularly in 2005. There's no shortage of people but it does not have a layout to accomodate really large events. However, it's a fantastic course and the racing is good there.
I've also been to Indy for F1, which is the track used by MotoGP (not the oval for Indy cars), and I found that to be quite boring. I think that if Texas does well dropping Indy would make sense.
Lastly, I've been to Mugello, which was complete insanity and much fun. I don't know if it can get better than having a track of that quality in the Tuscan hillside. Unbelievable.
P.S. -- why are there so many cry-babies on this site?

The layout looks great - loads of elevation - but for once, Nostro is right about GP's lack of ambition trying to crack new markets.
Maybe the tie-in with Superbike and the fact they seem more global in their outlook will help GP get to some new circuits soon.

strictly speaking, the yanks will have 2.33 races as Laguna still doesn't (can't cope with?) host Moto 2 and 3 rounds - imagine what 36 bikes belting around there would be like! whilst Spain can claim that they supply a large chunk of the GP talent, and can perhaps justify holding additional races, that can hardly be said about our American friends.
elbowz, much as i admire Brands, MotoGP will NEVER visit that circuit as the FIM won't homologate the circuit on safety grounds. as saturn says, it would cost a fortune to make the necessary changes, and that's not taking into account the local residents that live a stones-throw from the track, a less than co-operative local council and the tree-huggers. it's Silverstone for the foreseeable future as the only realistic choice as Donington is light years behind in terms of facilities. that's basic facts, not politics.
i too don't like 4 races in Spain, 3 in the USA and 2 in Italy - that's half of the series in 3 countries, while the likes of India and the fabulous Buddh International Circuit can't get a look in, and no confirmed races in South America and South Africa. ho hum.

Long Beach Grand Prix's Thunder Thursday 2012
4:12 am in General by The Broker
Every year the Long Beach Grand Prix association and Downtown Long Beach put together a huge block party to kick off the weekend of Grand Prix Racing in the streets of Long Beach California.
It's quite a night with an estimated 10,000 people filling Pine st. and Broadway. This was my 4th year performing for this event and each year it gets bigger and better. This night is the "Tecate Thunder Thursday"
The night started off with some Freestyle Motorcross from the Monster Energy FMX team. Our Sportbike Freestyle shows followed with Kyle Rapport and myself. The Pit Stop competition and the modeling contest.
The guys from GoPro Cameras came out and mounted some cameras to capture the action.
Team Adretti Racing's Go Daddy driver James Hinchcliffe and RC Cola driver Marco Andretti were out for the pit stop competition and some media time.
Everyone was there to work, but we all had fun doing it.
I wouldn't mind trading vehicles with this team for a day or two.. or three.
Then Monster Energy FMX crew contributed to the Thunder on Thursday when they started their show.
The FMX crew brought lots of style with them.
Rich Kerns was throwing down some big tricks.
Just about time for us to do our thing. This was my brand new bike I had just finished and maybe my third time riding it.
Del Amo Motorsports and Shinko tires hooked up some of these awesome tires that made for a great show.
No Hands
No feet
The night ended in a big smokey burnout and turned into a fiery inferno within my bikes bodywork. (My own fault. When i put the bike together I routed some oil lines incorrectly, creating to much pressure. This eventually blew out the valve cover gaskets and ignited on the hoot exhaust)
A bunch of awesome friends worked fast to put the flames out and the bike had very minor cosmetic damage. The crowd loved it and it made for a great photo.
Durring the show we gave away a bunch of Icon Motorsports Swag. After the show we had a line down the street ready for autographed posters, hats, t-shirts and photos.
Kyle looking Krazy as ever with myself and some of the Fasttrak Insurance girls.
Check out this awesome video Kyle put together from this wild night in Long Beach
Big thanks to: Long Beach Grand Prix and Downtown Long Beach for having us.
Kyle Rapport for coming out and putting on another great show with me (Sorry i didn't end up with any photos of you.)

A rising percentage of parents say they will not vaccinate their teen daughters against the human papillomavirus even though physicians are increasingly recommending it.
According to a study by Mayo Clinic and others, more than two out of five parents surveyed believe the HPV vaccine is unnecessary and a growing number expressed concern about potential side effects.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention lists HPV as the most common sexually transmitted infection in the country, and it's estimated that nearly all sexually active men and women will get it at some point in their lives -- including those with only one sexual partner. The vaccine prevents cervical cancer and other genital cancers that are linked to the virus.
The findings of the study were published in the journal Pediatrics after researches looked at three vaccines which are routinely recommended for American teens:
Although up-to-date immunizations rates rose for all three vaccines, the proportions of girls who are fully immunized against HPV was substantially lower than the other two vaccines.
Using vaccination data from the 2008-2010 National Immunization Survey of Teens between the ages of 13 and 17, researchers found that 80 percent of teens received the Tdap vaccine and roughly 63 percent were given the MCV4 vaccine. Only about one third of girls were immunized against HPV.
The HPV vaccine requires there doses across six months, and 40 percent of parents surveyed five years ago said they would not vaccinate their daughters. In 2009, that number rose to 41 percent. In 2010, it jumped to 44 percent.
"That's the opposite direction that rate should be going," said senior researcher Robert Jacobson, M.D., of the Mayo Clinic Children's Center.
While the HPV vaccination rate did rise, it was only 16 percent in 2008 -- and more parents are now reporting that they do not intend to vaccinate their daughters for one of the following reasons:
The vaccine was not recommended
While HPV is normally passed on through intercourse, the CDC fact sheet shows it can also be transmitted through oral sex and contact with an infected person's genitals regardless of whether symptoms or signs are present.
"HPV causes essentially 100 percent of cervical cancer and 50 percent of all Americans get infected at least once with HPV," said Jacobson. "It's a silent infection. You cannot tell when you've been exposed or when you have it."
Survey results show the number of parents concerned about the safety of the HPV vaccine more than tripled from 5 percent in 2008 to 16 percent in 2010. By comparison, the study found less than 1 percent of parents surveyed expressed worries about the safety of Tdap and MCV4 vaccines.
However, Jacobson said many studies in recent years have found that the HPV vaccine is both safe and effective for adolescent patients. In fact, Jacobsen has taken part in the safety review committees for two such studies.
"While most HPV infections clear, a percentage linger and start the process of cancerous changes. The HPV vaccine is an anti-cancer vaccine," Jacobson stressed.
According to the parents surveyed, more clinicians are recommending the HPV vaccine; although, they are only advising it about half of the time. Jacobson said the facts show the vaccine is necessary and he stressed that it is most effective in younger adolescents than in older teens.
"The vaccine works better the younger the child is and it doesn't work after the child is grown up and is exposed to the virus," Jacobson explained. "So, our message should be: 'Give this vaccine now to your child while your child is young and responsive to it.'"
At the Mayo Clinic, they routinely start the HPV vaccine series at age 9.

For those in the wind power business, or those considering jumping in, last week brought some big news. A new study by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) found that the U.S. could theoretically generate 37 million gigawatt-hours of enter site real levitra without prescription wind power per year, triple the try it getting cialis amount previously thought.
The last study of wind power potential, completed in 1993, came up with an energy potential of about 10.8 million GWh. According to www.massing.de NREL, the reason for the dramatic jump is better wind technology (taller and viagra sample more powerful turbines) and better data used in the assessment. In case you're wondering, environmentally-protected areas were not included as potential sites.
The new number is over 12 times the amount of energy we consume each year. Americans consume 3 million GWh of electricity each year and in 2008 only 52,000 GWh came from wind.
The study offers great new maps of wind energy potential across the country, highlighting areas with high wind speeds, access to transmission lines, cheap land and other major factors for would-be wind farm developers. The maps, created by Truewind, have a resolution of 650 feet, less than the spacing between turbines, so developers could use them not just to located the best area for an entire farm, but for each machine.

What would be better is if the government provided incentive for everybody to install a wind turbine on their own property which feeds back onto the only now online viagra uk grid, this way every house in the US would be able to produce enough energy for their own use and put the remainder onto the grid!
People catch up! i have been running my own wind turbine since 2007 and have not paid for electricity since 2007! See here how i did it http://www.residential-wind-po...ince-2007/
It doesn't take much effort to visit web site levitra online pharmacy produce your own energy and as this article shows there is the capability for the US to produce a lot more energy than we need!

written by Matt Peffly, February 23, 2010
Yes I agree the Barry comment just wants you to go to his site (the second one) and buy something. But yes there are a lot of places in the US were you would greatly reduce you bill. On days when you have extra, the rate you sell it to the Power company is www.spotfodo.com much lower than the rate you pay on days it isn't very windy.

I don't believe that you have not paid for grid power since you installed your turbine. For a start a turbine doesn't spin during wind less days.
I believe it, lots of people are connected to the grid, produce more power than they need on windy days, sell it on the Grid, and buy it back on windless days. They use the grid as a storage device. Makes good sense too.
written by Barry, February 23, 2010
You are wrong. You don't need perfect wind every day to produce 100% of your energy needs, and this article shows that. Based on cialis jelly this article you only need 1 out of every three days to viagra online sales produce enough energy, though in a residential situation this can be even less.
What you are missing is that these wind turbines are grid feed meaning that you have the energy produced put back onto the energy grid...not store it on site. Most energy companies will pay you a set amount for each kwH that you put back onto the grid which in most cases is more than what you will pay for each kwH of energy.
This is a credit debit system. As long as you use less electricity than you put back onto the grid you will be ahead and will not pay for your electricity, you will actually get a credit from the utility company.
If you read on in my article you will see where i had the wind turbine wired to the grid for this very purpose.
Yes you can produce 100% of your energy requirements.

Yes there are products to buy on the site however the site is there to provide information on wind power for home and residential use. The site provides information on green energy news just like ecogeek, which also runs ads.
The site is not a cookie cutter site, you are mistaken. I'd like to see your effort to help people find information on renewable energy? I suppose you are going to buy branded levitra hack on EcoGeek for running ads on their site?
If these sites like mine and ecoGeek didn't run ads there wouldn't be as much information on the internet for people to find out about wind power and renewable energy.
Shame on you for putting down a site that is trying to provide information on renewable energy. As stated above...nearly all information sites are advertising supported otherwise they wouldn't survive. Would you rather there be no information for people to read up on best price cialis renewable energy?

The Mommy Diet: Tips and Tricks for Trying To Conceive
BabyZone chatted with Alison Sweeney, author of The Mommy Diet and The Biggest Loser host, as well as a couple of her healthy-living pros, rounding up some helpful hints for women looking to be as healthy as possible while TTC.
Think Twice Before Downing that Cocktail
Sure, having a glass of wine in the evening may be a great way to relax, especially when you know it will be completely off limits during pregnancy, but it's best to get in the habit of getting off the sauce now rather than later. Plus, you could end up drinking alcohol before you even know you're pregnant.
When it came to changing up her diet for pregnancy, Sweeney was frank about her toughest sacrifice: "I'll be honest—certainly drinking alcohol. I really enjoy having a glass of wine with my friends and I like to have a glass of wine when I'm making dinner with my husband at night. It does help me unwind and that's always a tough thing to totally eliminate from your diet. Of course it's so important [to eliminate it] but it's definitely one of the things where you think, 'That's a bummer.'"
Strengthen Your … Blood?
"While you're trying to conceive and during pregnancy, I'm a big advocate of really keeping your blood strong," says Jesse Brune, a trained chef and personal trainer who has appeared on Bravo's
Workout and Food Network's Private Chefs of Beverly Hills. How does that work, exactly? "You can do that by increasing your iron. A really good trick is to incorporate dark greens into your meals. If you ordered a salad, order it with spinach or kale as opposed to just romaine. Even though the romaine has a lot of great qualities to it, the darker greens have more iron. I also tell people 'don't shy away from actually having red meat once a week' because, once again, it's higher in iron." (See other iron-rich foods.)
Embrace Your Body (and Your Freedom!)
Sweeney knows as well as any mom that the arrival of a little one makes the days of being able to jet off on a moment's notice to the gym or dinner with pals is a thing of the past. She suggests making sure you take that time for yourself before you're pregnant. Whether you want to indulge in a relaxing activity with your significant other, get hardcore about your fitness routine, or even take in as many movies as possible–do it now–before leaving the house requires paying a babysitter. You'll be glad you did.
Ditch Toxic Chemicals
In The Mommy Diet, Sweeney writes that indoor air in homes is often two to five times more polluted than the air quality outside, in large part due to the numerous chemicals you find in most households. Take a gander around your pad and remove as many of these air pollutants as you can. Research natural cleaning methods and products. Also, if your regular dry cleaner uses the chemical "perc" (perchloroethlyne), Sweeney suggests moving on to a business that avoids it.

Plenty of rain falling across the Upper Midwest over the last few days which is really good news for the drought as very dry locations are receiving plenty of much needed water. But our neighbors to the west are receiving snow… and not just a few inches but a few feet! What a difference a day makes… we received these pictures from one of our Fox9 viewers, Jennifer Haugan Ceynar, showing a picture of the Deadwood area the day before the storm and the day of the storm. (The image to the right is what I-90 looked like early Saturday morning in the Black Hills)
The Deadwood area has seen upwards of 2 feet of snow, and snow will continue through Saturday. Before all is over, the Black Hills of South Dakota will have received 2 to 4 feet of snow. But they aren't the only ones getting dumped on with heavy snow falling from the western Dakotas into Wyoming, Colorado, and Montana… check out some of the biggest totals.
For those with any travel plans to the west, I-90 remains closed in the western half of South Dakota and much of Wyoming and could be closed until Monday.
Around here though, to the relief of many (myself NOT included) it's been all rain with plenty of it in some cases. Much of the metro has missed out on the heavy rain, but many locations still coming in with 1-2 inches Metrowide. Meanwhile, parts of southern Minnesota and southwest Wisconsin are topping 3 and 4 inches. Here is a peek at some of the buckets across the area.
To fill in some of the blanks and see in between the buckets, we use radar to find estimated totals based on the radar image that gets reflected back to the radar. We add some color to those estimates, and poof… we get rainfall estimates from the area.
Some of the truly desperate spots for water missed out on the bulk of the moisture with the heaviest rain pounding parts of Wisconsin and far southeastern Minnesota, but every little bit helps even though more is needed. Looks like the rain will stay light the rest of this weekend and there is a pretty dry week ahead.

I love kariva and have taken it for years with very little side effects compared to its generic version viorele which had terrible weight gain, mood swings and needed more sleep. No matter what your doctor or pharmasist says they are not the same drug and have very different results!!!

Ease of Use
In even the first few days of taking this BC, I experienced drastic mood swings, weight gain, and extremely decreased libido. I hated it- I know the first month is supposed to be bad, but noticing these side effects in the first couple days is not a good sign. I would NOT recommend this birth control!

Well, an idea popped into my head yesterday. What if I were to add coconut juice to my oatmeal? I gave it a shot this morning and I did not have any regrets. The oats had a hint of coconut juice flavor. Combine that with cinnamon and nectarine and you get an unbelievable breakfast.

Young or old, we all have a job to do: the job of living. Learning, growing, playing, working, managing our homes, and caring for our families could all be considered some of life's occupations. Unfortunately, physical, emotional, or other challenges often prevent individuals from fully participating in these duties of everyday living.
Disease, injury, mental illness, or developmental problems can make it difficult to do everyday activities independently and safely. Occupational therapy assistants make it possible for people to regain independence and live life to its fullest. By choosing a career in occupational therapy, you will make a difference! You will be able to improve the lives of people of all ages, from newborns to the very old (AOTA, 2010).
Occupational therapy assistants (OTAs) focus on helping people of all ages regain, develop, or master everyday skills in order to live independent, productive, and satisfying lives. Working under the supervision of occupational therapists, the OTA's ultimate goal is to improve an individual's quality of life by helping him or her live as independently and safely as possible. As an OTA, you may be asked to:
Occupational therapy assistants work for physicians, hospitals, nursing homes, elder care facilities, home healthcare services, school systems, early intervention programs for infants and toddlers, pediatric units, mental health centers, and government agencies. Students today can look forward to dynamic careers working in multiple settings with individuals of all ages (AOTA, 2010).
Many OTAs advance into administration positions. They may manage a large occupational therapy department in a hospital or act as the director for a specific department such as a hand clinic or dementia unit in a nursing home. Some assistants go on to teach classes in accredited occupational therapy assistant academic programs or lead health risk reduction classes for the elderly. Other occupational therapy assistants work in research.
Successful occupational therapists know how to encourage individuals through what can sometimes be a slow and frustrating process. Interventions are client-centered and unique to each individual. Occupational therapy assistants use "occupations" that have meaning and value for the client to help improve health, well-being, and quality of life.
The information below reflects aggregated data from all of the Herzing University campuses that have students enrolled in the specified program in the specified time period. The information does not reflect data regarding individual campuses unless only one campus had students to report. The reporting period used to obtain this data was 7/1/2012-6/30/2013. If there were less than 10 graduates in a program, median loan debt and on-time completion data were not disclosed for that program to protect the privacy of those students. Tuition and length may vary by campus location. Ranges could not be input for tuition and length, therefore tuition and length reported are the highest tuition rates and longest program length to encompass all campuses. For information regarding specific campus tuition please refer to http://www.herzing.edu/tuition-financial-aid [1] . For a more detailed description of how the data was calculated please refer to the Disclosure Methodology located here http://www.herzing.edu/files/2014Disclosures-Methodology.pdf [2] .
The National Board for Certification in Occupational Therapy (NBCOT) certifies occupational therapy assistants through a national certifying exam. Those who pass the exam are awarded the title Certified Occupational Therapy Assistant (COTA). Once certified, the COTA can apply for a state license in the state he or she chooses to practice in. Not all states require an additional license and requirements vary from state to state. Please check with your state health department for these requirements.
Most states, including Guam, Puerto Rico and the District of Columbia, regulate the practice of occupational therapist assistants either by licensing, registration, or certification. Eligibility requirements vary by state. Contact your state's licensing board for specific regulatory requirements of occupational therapy assistants. In Minnesota, the applicant MUST have graduated from an accredited OTA program and passed the NBCOT exam. A fee and background check are also required. For more information go to http://www.health.state.mn.us [5].
Some states have additional requirements for occupational therapy assistants who work in schools or early intervention programs. These requirements may include education-related classes, an education practice certificate, or early intervention certification.

The cost of building and developing new aircraft must be slashed if general aviation is to attract new pilots, sustain the existing population of owners and flyers and drive up safety, said the General Aviation Manufacturers Association (GAMA) at AERO 2012 in Friedrichshafen, Germany. In a report at FlightGlobal.com, GAMA's Greg Bowles is quoted as saying that while there is unfulfilled demand for new aircraft, "Owners are unwilling or unable to buy many of the latest models because they are so expensive. A four-seat entry level piston single like a Cessna 172 cost around $8,750 in 1956. By 2000 the price for a typical four-seat piston single like a Diamond Star had risen to nearly $190,000. This rise far outstrips the cost of inflation over that period." The culprit: Onerous regulation. Read the full post here.

"Very good! Something different for dinner with plenty of protein but not too heavy. I used frozen corn niblets and felt the soup was still plenty thick. I may cut down the salt a little next time, it was right on the line of a little too much for me."
"I started with this recipe a while back and it has been a staple ever since I figured out how to make the roux without burning it. Over time I have made a few changes to make me feel not so guilty about eating it constantly. I use only milk instead of milk and cream and I add a half brick of frozen spinach, thawed and drained, when I stir in the p..."
"This has become a favorite staple in our house. I dust the meat with 1/4 tsp garlic powder to save a step and I skip the mushrooms. I bias-cut the meat into thin strips, not sure if that makes much of a difference but it's how I like it. I also add 1/3 c beef broth to the meat in the oven to keep it nice and moist. I halve the dijon and sub m..."
"Couldn't find the yummy crab dip at my local store that my in-laws had so this is the closest recipe online I could find. Delicious. I did substitute sour cream for the mayo since I'm not a mayo person. And, I had to use canned crab meat. Served with wheat thins for appetizer. Will keep this on hand for get-togethers."
"Love it! Used it twice now on boneless, skinless chicken breasts and thighs. I marinade all day and throw them on the grill. Great chicken by itself but I cook it in bulk and chop it up and freeze it to use for quick meals. Sweet and just a little tangy, keeps the chicken moist."
"Made this for a coworkers wedding shower and it was as impressive as it was delicious. I shaved a little gourmet bittersweet chocolate over the top. Very rich but the raspberries cut through it nicely."
"Made this a few years ago but haven't gotten around to it lately. It was creamy and delicious and very rich. It's a little too rich to eat a whole bowl of it actually but makes a really nice side or snack."
"Great on a variety of different salads."
"I was looking for a recipe for a quick breakfast to grab on weekdays and this is great. I substituted whole wheat flour and added a tbl of wheat gluten to keep it light. I sub'd applesauce for oil and from the other reviewer's comments, I used a half cup instead of one quarter. I also added a half tsp of vanilla for flavor. The knife came out clea..."
"Very tasty! I substituted 1/2 tsp onion powder for the onion since I was snowed in without an onion and it worked well. I served it over buttered egg noodles and had plenty of sauce still leftover.

Does your mutual fund manager have your best interests in mind? Are you paying too much in fund fees, even inside your 40l(k) account? Ask yourself those questions as you approach your year-end investment review. The answers could be just as important to your investment success as your asset allocation and mutual fund performance. And now, you can easily get information about those important issues.
The question of alignment of fund manager interests with the interest of fund shareholders is easily resolved if you look at Morningstar's "Stewardship Grades." The feature on morningstar.com has been in effect for nearly two years, and is offered as part of the $135 annual Premium Membership service.
I wrote about these ratings when they were introduced after the mutual fund "scandals" of 2003. These stewardship ratings got a big boost with a 2005 SEC requirement that mutual funds disclose fund manager compensation and incentives, as well as how much money they personally have invested in their fund, as part of the annual "statement of additional information."Paying close attention
Don Phillips, managing director of Chicago-based Morningstar Inc., says that even if investors don't pay close attention to the fine print, "the very fact that the funds must disclose this information is forcing closer attention to these issues."
Phillips points out that in the 1990s, many fund managers were compensated based on the amount of assets under management, not by performance. As a result, those managers focused on short-term performance reporting.
Being at the top of a widely reported quarterly performance ranking would attract "hot money," new assets coming into their fund and a larger bonus for the manager. But that was not in the best interest of the long-term fund investor.
Now, Phillips notes, more managers are incented based on rolling three-year performance records.
Mutual fund trustees have also faced closer scrutiny in recent years. Warren Buffet once derided them as "lapdogs," individuals paid big bucks for attending meetings, but not working on shareholders' behalf to reduce fees and costs.
Today, trustees are in the spotlight, which shines not only on their compensation packages, but also on their investments in the funds and the contract renewal process for their advisory agreement.
Morningstar reviews more than 1,200 mutual funds each year, and the focus is on more than just manager incentives. The stewardship grades, which range from A through F, plus accompanying commentary, are based on issues such as the level of fees compared with funds of like size and kind; the absence of regulatory issues; the corporate culture of the fund family and whether it encourages talent retention; and on the caliber of the board of trustees based on factors such as independence, fund investments and how many funds each trustee oversees.
Phillips reports that the ratings, which often are based at least in part on meetings with trustees, generate "a lot of discussion" and result in giving investors a voice and impact, other than just selling their shares.
Sometimes fund shareholders can't just "walk away" and sell their shares, because they're held in a company's 40l(k) plan. And sometimes, especially in smaller companies, those funds have huge (and unnecessary) annual fees and costs that detract from long-term investment results.
If you think your company plan is not competitive, ask your boss or the HR department to go to www.PlanSponsor.com.
On the right column of the home page there's a place to click to search for an accredited PlanSponsor Retirement Professional in your area. This adviser will help your company benchmark its plan costs and services, and start a search for a better, less costly provider.Grade your own performance
When you get your year-end investment statements, don't just file them away. Grading your own performance is more difficult than complaining about your fund manager.
But this is the time to face reality, and if necessary to regroup and take a wiser course for next year. You can do it if you'll take the time and effort. And that's The Savage Truth.

Immigration reform optimism voiced by Baptist policy group & Chamber of Commerce

WASHINGTON (BP) -- The U.S. Chamber of Commerce and the Southern Baptist Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission both regard immigration reform as a priority at the start of a new session of Congress, representatives of the two groups said at a Jan. 17 news conference in Washington.
"We do not intend to let this fail," said Barrett Duke, vice president for public policy and research for the ERLC, the public policy entity of the nation's largest non-Catholic religious body.
"We will stay on top of this until Washington, D.C., and our country finally [do] what is right by the 12 million who are here looking to us to do something to help resolve their dilemma," Duke said.
Tom Donohue, president of the Chamber of Commerce, the world's largest business organization, told reporters at the news conference "a sense of consensus" is growing among people who have been on opposite sides of enacting immigration reform.
Americans with widely divergent views have contended for years the federal government's failure to deal with immigration has resulted in a broken system and from 11 to 12 million undocumented, or illegal, immigrants in this country.
The National Immigration Forum (NIF) -- which organized the news conference of religious, business and law enforcement spokesmen -- cited three consensus points for broad reform: 1) Recognition of the need for border security and safety in communities; 2) establishment of a just pathway to legal status and citizenship for undocumented immigrants while respecting those who have long awaited naturalization; 3) modernization of the immigration laws that includes worker programs that aid the workforce and economy.
Carlos Gutierrez, Commerce secretary under President George W. Bush and now vice chairman of Citigroup, also expressed optimism in his comments at the news conference.
"There have been more people coming out in favor," Gutierrez said. "There are people who have moderated their stance on this from six years ago, and I think part of that is just an understanding that [failure to act] is very bad for the country."
The optimism comes after the last push for immigration reform in 2007 failed despite Bush's efforts. November's election results, which reform advocates said demonstrated the increased voting power of Hispanics, appear to provide a significant reason for legislative movement.
Immigration, however, has yet to reach the level of importance it must for enactment of reform, Gutierrez said, adding gun control has surpassed it as a priority in Washington.
"This has to become the No. 1 priority for the president and for Congress. Get people together to say, 'We're going to fix this problem, because it's important enough to be fixed.' And that hasn't happened yet. And I think it has to be a lot more than just a couple of very nice sentences in the State of the Union address," Gutierrez told reporters.
Donohue said, "The bottom line on immigration is that the status quo on immigration in our country is a fundamental loser."
A super political action committee (PAC) to aid GOP candidates who support such change -- Republicans for Immigration Reform -- is nearing a launch, Gutierrez said. The super PAC will "give cover" to those who publicly advocate immigration reform, he said.
Ali Noorani, NIF's executive director, still said the new congressional session is the "best opportunity for broad immigration reform in nearly a decade."
Duke pointed to a new reform proposal by Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida and developments among other congressional Republicans as indications of progress. "I think the determination is there at this point" in both parties, he said.
The ERLC is visiting with House members and communicating with Southern Baptists and other evangelical Christians regarding immigration reform, Duke said. As part of its efforts, the ERLC joined with an evangelical coalition, the Evangelical Immigration Table, in inaugurating Jan. 14 the "I Was a Stranger" challenge. The initiative -- which can be accessed online at http://evangelicalimmigrationtable.com/iwasastranger/ -- provides a Bible verse for reflection on the issue on each of 40 days.
While advocates for immigration reform have various reasons for their support, it is a moral and humanitarian issue for the ERLC, Duke said. In the Bible, God instructs His Old Testament people, the Israelites, to love the stranger among them, Duke said.
"[W]hen we read that, we understand that God has an expectation for how a people with power would treat those who are vulnerable and weak in their presence," he told reporters.
"It is not possible to respond to the plight of those who are here living in the shadows compassionately without actually speaking to their circumstances in trying to assist them," Duke said. "I don't know how you could have a clear conscience thinking that we're going to in some kind of way consign 12 million people possibly to perpetual poverty and as a perpetual underclass in this country. ... It is simply not the right thing to do. It is certainly not the humanitarian thing to do. It is indeed not the Christian thing to do."
Messengers to the 2011 Southern Baptist Convention in Phoenix, Ariz., approved a resolution on immigration reform that called for the advancement of the Gospel of Jesus while pursuing justice and compassion. The measure urged the government to make a priority of border security and holding businesses accountable in their hiring. It also requested public officials establish after securing the borders "a just and compassionate path to legal status, with appropriate restitutionary measures, for those undocumented immigrants already living in our country." It specified the resolution was not to be interpreted as supporting amnesty.

11-Year-Old Girl Critically Injured In I-24E Crash
NASHVILLE, Tenn. – An 11-year-old girl was critically injured in a Tuesday afternoon crash that blocked Interstate 24 eastbound at the interchange with Interstate 65 North in northern Davidson County.
The multiple vehicle crash happened just after 1:30 p.m. Tuesday at exit 44B, just past Briley Parkway.
Officials with the Metro Nashville Police Department tweeted that an 11-year-old girl was "very critically injured" in the crash. Details about the cause of the crash were not available.
The victim's identity was not released. It was unknown if anyone else was hurt.
Eastbound lanes were closed while police conducted their investigation, but it was cleared by 6 p.m. Westbound traffic was not affected.
The roads were wet from earlier rainfall at the time of the crash, but it was unclear if that was a contributing factor.

Dave Anderson's Forest Journal: Celebrating the dawning of the green
IN MID-MARCH, skiers and snowmobilers still react to new snow with great joy. For others, March snowfall is a curse.
There's good reason to beware the Ides of March, Caesar. Winter always seems longest at its very end.
The vernal equinox, the alleged "first day of spring" falls one day earlier than usual this year, on Wednesday, March 20. And, of course, it's never the same as the "first spring day," which often occurs sometime in April.
Today being St. Patrick's Day, when all are Irish, we revel in all things green.
"Green" has grown in bandwidth. There may be more associations now with the color found in the very center of the visible spectrum than any other color of the rainbow.
"Green" as an adjective has become synonymous with the environmental community. It is applied to the marketing of consumer goods from dish detergents to coffee beans sold with conservation or ecological concerns applied to the process of growing, harvesting, manufacturing, packaging and recycling.
But, as Kermit the frog lamented, "It's not easy being green."
"Green" is also used in the pejorative when applied to "greenies," those "tree huggers" deemed somehow to stand in the way of progress as environmental obstructionists. To me, that seems a hypocritical perspective unless taken entirely in the absence of concern for clean drinking water, healthy food, productive soil, forest and wood products and air to breathe.
In our daily lives, we see the iconic image of Earth as seen from space in countless contexts. We rarely think twice about the basic ecosystem goods and services essential to our daily lives and very existence provided by the simplest ingredients: water, soil, green plants, sunlight, oxygen.
Here's a more radical proposition: Imagine if days did not grow longer and sunlight did not return to flood the Northern Hemisphere each spring.
I got to thinking about this annual fitful transition from late winter to early spring while plowing a recent surprise snowfall. The dirt driveway had thawed with daytime high temperatures consistently above freezing. I hadn't really noticed or thought much about it when watching the weather forecasts. The snowplow blade swirled the heavy, wet, marshmallow snow and chocolaty mud to create a marbled bank with the same color and consistency of "Rocky Road" ice cream. Wonder where they got that name?
The air smelled funny - an odd wet earth smell. The ancient association of smell and season overwhelmed me: springtime. Even as the surrounding landscape of leafless and seemingly lifeless trees and icy brooks remained cloaked by falling snow, I suddenly knew we had turned the corner.
In "The Outset," New Hampshire's most famous poet, Robert Frost, offers this reassurance of redemption:
... Yet all the precedent is on my side:
I know that winter death has never tried
The earth but it has failed: the snow may heap
In long storms an undrifted four feet deep
As measured against maple, birch and oak,
It cannot check the peeper's silver croak;
And I shall see the snow all go downhill
In water of a slender April rill
That flashes tail through last year's withered brake
And dead weeds like a disappearing snake.
Nothing will be left white but here a birch,
And there a clump of houses with a church.
We really don't question our faith in the assured arrival of springtime - eventually.
Green, the actual color, is a symbol of resurrection. Plants awaken from beneath the snow as the entire northern third of our planet shifts from reflective, monochrome white to a million shades (or so it seems) of green. Forests - the "lungs of Earth" - inhale mightily. A collective human population smiles as we feel warm sunshine on bare skin for the first time in many months.
We have evolved on the only planet our species has ever inhabited. Its seasonal rhythms are so deeply ingrained in our DNA as to seem innate. We respond with animal instincts born of hundreds of thousands of years.
And so today, who among us does not crave a huge dose of all things green?
Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Not open to students who have taken HIS 104. Old Core: Fulfills Western History. New Core: Fulfills 3 credits in Area of Knowledge II.
Revised Course Description: Nations are groups of people who share language, tradition, and culture. Nineteenth-century European peoples developed forms of political, social, and economic organization, consolidating their nations into powerful industrial states. Looking for raw materials and markets, influenced by notions of religious and cultural superiority, and competing for prestige, Europeans projected their power globally, creating immense multinational empires. This learning community will explore the relationship between the empire and the colonized through history and narrative. Reading literature of descendants of both colonizers and colonized, we will explore the lasting artistic, psychological, and political impact of this dynamic period in history.

GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ) - The pros won't be the only football players performing at Lambeau Field Friday night.
Members of the Waukesha Youth Football League will show off their talents at halftime of the Green Bay Packers' pre-season game against Seattle.
The youth teams will also be on the field for the national anthem, as part of the Packers' recognition of USA Football Month.
The team donated over 3,000 tickets to youth football leagues throughout Wisconsin for the Pack's two home exhibitions.
