- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/18/2014Could not have been a better dining experience. The food, the service and the ambiance made for a great last night visiting Minneapolis.Special Features:
- Great food counts the most, BUT...TicketFromMeDined on 9/17/2014The dishes here hit the high notes with great consistency, so even the most jaded palette should be delighted. Shame, though, that other components of a great dining experience were not present. There was no valet and almost no parking - good luck in winter! The young host who greeted us knew in advance it was our 25th wedding anniversary and told my wife that he wasn't even alive 25 years ago. Nice way to flatter a woman of a certain age. When I ordered a cocktail, I was surprised to learn they only had a wine license. Our server neglected us; the intervals between her rare visits to our table were way too long. I note that others enjoyed their service, so maybe it's the luck of the draw. But Alma could step up its game many ways.Special Features:
- New ExperienceOpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 9/17/2014We went to Restaurant Alma this last Wednesday and couldn't have been more delighted with our experience. My girlfriend had the smoked rabbit and duck, which she didn't like before, and loved it. Very fresh ingredients and uniquely prepared to satisfy our pallete. Would highly recommend this for couples and anyone who would want to try something out of their comfort zone food wise. Will not be disappointed!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 9/16/2014Chose this for 25th anniversary celebration as I have heard ravings about it for years. The food and wine pairings were awesome. We both loved every dish. The service- meh. When a couple spends this much for a special night out, I really think service should be impeccable- and perhaps at least a "Happy Anniversary!" greeting from the waitstaff. Why else ask for comments in the reservations? Maybe it's edgier or hipper to be soft-spoken and aloof, but I find that off-putting as a customer. A little warmth, humor, engagement goes a long way.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Lovely Birthday DinnerEnglishLitMajorDined on 9/16/2014Went with a friend to celebrate another birthday. Was totally lovely, like the three course menu arrangement. Ordered the wine pairings which were incredibly delicious and spot on. Our server seemed nervous and slightly flaky -- at one point asked to see the regular wine menu again and she went to a different table with it on the other side of the room, also reset our silverware and forgot to give my dining partner a fork. Other than that, food was incredible.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Annual AwesomenessSchapesDined on 9/14/20145th Annual Birthday Dinner was the best one yet! 20 dishes, 9 wines, 4 great friends and engaging bartender makes for a great night. We now choose to sit at the bar to be close to the wine bottles and get the stories of their origins (or is it so we are never too far from the pour?). How do you pick a favorite dish when 18 of them are your favorites? Still hands down my favorite restaurant in town and I am very eager for the extension to open next door.Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2008Dined on 9/14/2014Small portions, excellent wine pairings. Just what we were expecting.Special Features:
- Nevery disappointed!SBBILAVIPDined on 9/12/2014Once again, Alma delivered a fantastic dining experience from beginning to end! Everything was a hit!Special Features:
- FabulousnewbieDined on 9/9/2014There were four of us in our group so we were able to sample many of the choices that the tasting menu provides. There were no disppointments. The variety and richness of flavors made this a truly remarkable dining experience.Special Features:
- As always, excellentDaveDined on 9/5/2014A favorite restaurant for us. Relaxed, warm ambiance with focus on great food. Seasonal menu - on this trip for my wife: Chilled Sweet Corn Soup, Bok Choy Fritters, Roast Chicken for main; and, for me: Smoked Rabbit Salad, Grilled Bread (with braised pork rib, pepperoncini & burrata), Duck Two Ways for main. Shared bottle of sparkling: Jansz Rose Brut, NV, Tasmania. Split the Dark Chocolate Mousse for dessert with capacino for her and 10 yr Tawny Port for me. Winners were: corn soup, rabbit, grilled bread, and roast chx. Outstanding service from front door through dinner. Server was outstanding. Great spot for special dinner or relaxed dinner for couple or small group. Clientele from 40s to 20s. Dress casual to nice casual.Special Features:
- BTinStPDined on 9/4/2014Portion sizes were perfect. I found each dish intriguing by the mix of foods and flavors, and was excited by the varied dashes of color and textures.Special Features:
- Extroidinary - as always!lightrailDined on 9/4/2014Restaurant Alma & staff have a way with how they pay attention to each customer - making one feel as if he or she is the sole reason for their existence. Each time I dine there, that sense of being cared for and valued is paramount. I am always delightfully surprised with the food - whatever I have decided upon. Last week we came to celebrate a birthday. The seasonal summer salad was fresh, nuanced with the anchovy laced dressing and assorted veggies and mushrooms. The bok choy fritters were a treat - crunchy and slightly sweet. The hot smoked salmon was flavorful, tender and perfectly moist. Our server seemed to enjoy describing dishes and making sure we were pleased. We were. Alma is tops in Minneapolis.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/2/2014Fantastic restaurant - best in Minneapolis. The competition is fierce, but Alma is still THE place.Special Features:
- Amazing food, amazing serviceOpenTable Diner Since 2008Dined on 9/2/2014The menu changes every 6-8 weeks because this is a farm-to-table restaurant. The food is exquisite. Their three-course menu is just the right portions and features very unique flavors. Definitely a place for foodies and people who like to try new things. Would have gone back the next night if budget and time allowed!Special Features:
- AlmaDad24sonsDined on 8/31/2014One of the finest restaurants we have eaten at, anywhere.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Slapshot49Slapshot49Dined on 8/31/2014Still one of the, if not the, best restaurant in the Twin Cities!!!!Special Features:
- DorothyVIPDined on 8/27/2014Loud noise made it very uncomfortable. Lack of parking is a huge problem!
- GreatOpenTable Diner Since 2008Dined on 8/25/2014Alma always has wonderful, inventive food. It's a great pleasure.Special Features:
- best birthday dinnerdaraVIPDined on 8/24/2014very unusual food combos beautifully presented and tasting extraordinary,,A kind conspiracy involving a dessert that was not formally ordered but appeared at just the right time. Thank you. Our absolute favorite place to eat, anywhere.Special Features:
- Wonderful eveningJulesDined on 8/22/2014Restaurant Alma has never failed to disappoint. The food as amazing, the wine fabulous and the general ambiance very nice. It's our go-to place for special occasions and when we want to impress.Special Features:
- Dinner for twoCarolVIPDined on 8/22/2014We loved the three course tasting menu at this small, neighborhood restaurant. We would definitely try it again when next we visit Minneapolis.Special Features:
- Absolutely topsJandJDined on 8/17/2014Restaurant Alma has the reputation as Minneapolis' #1 restaurant, and this reputation was reinforced when the cab driver taking us there reported that he'd never had customers do anything but rave about the place. Tucked away a bit from the downtown hustle, Alma offers a simple but elegant space and superbly elegant food. They specialize in a three-course prix-fixe menu and the waitress, who was both well informed and wonderfully accommodating, assured us that the portions were served with three courses and a possible dessert in mind. After dinner we were full but not stuffed, and the tastes - oh the tastes. I had the duck which is one of the signature dishes, and others in the party sampled other items on the creative menu. Great!Special Features:
- Chef CentricSteveofoto1VIPDined on 8/16/2014If you are a foodie, this is the place. Extraordinary preparations, great service, classy but not pretentious. I had the lemon shrimp as a first course, we both had a lamb and garlic nan for the second course. Unique and delectable. We also had the same third course, halibut in papillote, one of the best halibut preparations I've ever had. You can tell the food is prepared with the utmost of care. It was fun to watch the activity in the open kitchen. The chef thanked us on the way out. Expensive: about $112/person including tip which puts it in the La Belle Vie category. It deserves to be in the same company.Special Features:
- Artists in the kitchenJosePhuDined on 8/16/2014The food at Alma is nothing short of amazing--every dish on the price fixe menu that we had was just delicious, as was the dessert. Hard to leave there for under $100/person if you want wine and dessert, but you get your money's worth.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- amazingtheatreguyVIPDined on 8/15/2014Nothing in the way of atmosphere here but who cares????!!!!! Not since I dined in a small restaurant on the side of Mont Martyr in Paris have I enjoy such wonderful, complex food. Even the chocolate mousse (which I feared might be a boring end to a fabulous dinner) was a taste adventure. I can hardly put into words my enthusiasm for this delightful place. The menu changes every three months; locals should put Alma on their quarterly calendar. Make a reservation! p.s. Do the wine pairing.Special Features:
- DisappointingCanCookDined on 8/13/2014Have eaten here before and loved it. Felt the menu this time was unfocused. The pairings just did not flow well. The quality was less than in the past. For example my wife had the halibut which was bland and I had the pork loin which was rubbery. We could have cooked better. We passed on desert because they all seemed unappealing. Finally the service was verging on inattentive. We were out of wine well before our final course arrived and waiter did not notice. We were nearly done with our course by the time our wine arrived. For the price we expect better.
- Great mealDaveandMegDined on 8/13/2014The food was outstanding (as usual), and the saffron tagliatelle was one of the best dishes I've ever had. Loved the wine pairings. Will definitely return when the menu changes again.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Foodies Delight!BrandoTanDined on 8/12/2014This was one of my favorite restaurants of my life, we were only 2 courses in when my husband was saying we have to come back here. There was amazing food, but the special attentention to detail was my favorite. For instance, we had a terrible time deciding on first course, because they all seemed amazing, but the waitress picked up on that and sent out a 3rd starter anyway as compliments of the kitchen. AMAZING! Also, the very attentive service of beverages, plate and silverware removal. The perfect end of the night, with the check came a small bowl of nutella popcorn. This is was an amazing foodie experience, in a romantic, yet casually sophisticated atmosphere. Well done Restaurant Alma!Special Features:
- Great taste and combinationLluzDined on 8/11/2014If you like to try different textures and a great combination of flavours you shouldn't miss the opportunity that 'Alma' offers. Their 3 course meal is spectacular! And don't forget to try desert. Just delightfulSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Surprising location, great foodladykDined on 8/9/2014This was a perfect spot for a birthday celebration for someone who loves good food prepared beautifully. The tasting menu format allowed many choices and sharing. The food was delightful; the presentations lovely. The wine list is impressive, although the by-the-glass selections are limited. We were seated in a small upstairs loft, which was very pleasant, but we didn't get the opportunity to experience the ambience of the main downstairs space. Our waiter was extremely knowledgeable and helpful with both food and wine choices and added to our enjoyment of the evening. Make reservations early for weekend dining. We tried to reserve the day before and were only able to get a 9 PM reservation, a little late but still well worth it.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Whole heartedly love this place!BabulDined on 8/9/2014My first time in Minneapolis. My local friend took me to a few notable "hot spot" restaurants, while all very good, Alma was the best dinner restaurant I went to. The wine list and guidance was TOP NOTCH. The food menu (pre fixe) was wonderfully broad and interesting - with enough safe choices for the non-adventuresome in your group. All of our dishes were tasty and cooked wonderfully, all brought to our table at the perfect moment. Service was also TOP NOTCH. I wouldn't hesitate to return, and drag everyone with me!Special Features:
- jlbjlb8316VIPDined on 8/9/2014I found the menu rather limited especially for a low carb diet. the service was a little slow as well. Limited wine menu choices and quite pricey.Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 8/7/2014We really enjoy the unique, well prepared items on the tasting menu. Everything is always very delicious.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Stellar!FoodieDined on 8/4/2014My sisters and I went to Restaurant Alma for the first time to celebrate a birthday. They have a special dairy free menu for those with dairy allergies! We were very excited by this as most restuarants have a difficult time accomodating dairy allergies and sometimes the only option is a salad. The menu options were great, the food was amazing. The server was very knowledgable about the food and the wine. We would go back again in a heart beat! Thanks for a great evening!Special Features:
- Overpriced!!MNDinerDined on 8/3/2014We found the food to be extremely expensive. My salmon and corn was disappointing. It was way too salty, and had no special flare at all. My husband's duck was the same way, very salty and nondescript. I am allergic to zucchini so my choices were limited as the server told me that the "seasonal vegetables" were mixed ahead of time and I would not be able to order a dish minus zucchini. We did the wine pairing, no time was taken to explain what we were drinking. We had to ask for a list from our server. It was our 29th wedding anniversary and we were so excited to celebrate our special occasion at Restaurant Alma. It did not feel special at all! The $205.00 that we ended up spending for our meal and wine was a big rip off.
- An oldie and a goodieRoseDishDined on 8/2/2014Alma is a treat. Alex Roberts knows his flavors and his audience. We loved everything - from the corn chowder to the lamb appetizer to the halibut entree. And there was a lovely wine list. Esp enjoyed the red (a pinot noir from Monterey County) I sipped throughout our meal.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Wonderful as alwaysFoodies1Dined on 8/2/2014We had a wide variety of dishes and every one was a surprise and delight. Love this place!Special Features:
- Dinner was greatrm4dinnerDined on 7/31/2014The dinner my partner and I had at Alma was very good, presentation was great! Best I have seen in anything other than at least a 3 star restaurant. The portions were nice size, the flavors were wonderful, we had the wine pairing also and the wines they picked to go with individual choices were very nice. Did I mention presentation? Again, it was outstanding.Special Features:
- delicious!mjhowesVIPDined on 7/28/2014The food and service here was fabulous! Would definitely recommend!Special Features:
- Amazing meal in the Twin Cities!OpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 7/24/2014Every course my husband and I had was phenomenal! The dessert (Raspberry Ginger Pots de Crème) was by far the best dessert I have ever had! Incredible quality of food in a casual atmosphere. Perfect for a tired hubby and wife date night away from the kiddos!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

MADISON, WI (WTAQ) - Severe weather is hitting Wisconsin for the third straight day.
A tornado warning was issued for the Madison area Wednesday morning, but it expired without a touchdown. Still, Tod Pritchard of Wisconsin Emergency Management said there were reports of fallen trees.
In west central Wisconsin, folks had to use unfamiliar back roads to drive to the post office at Cataract in Monroe County. In nearby Trempealeau County, the small town of Iduna picked up 4.75 inches of rain Wednesday morning.
Severe weather is also a problem today in the Milwaukee area. Drivers were said to have zero visibility for 10 straight minutes in suburban Brookfield at mid-morning. Parts of Milwaukee and Waukesha counties had an urban and small stream flood advisory in effect until 11:15 a.m.
Flash flood warnings ended at mid-morning in much of west central Wisconsin. Severe thunderstorm watches were canceled Wednesday morning for a lot of southern Wisconsin.
More occasional rain and storms are in the forecast statewide, at least through the weekend.

text: Ok, so last month I posted in here because I was running a week late on my period. Well, it came and went, it was fairly heavy... happened around the 5th of december I want to say. DH and I had sex during and after. He pulled out most of the time, but there were one or two times that he didn't. I ended up getting my period again 2 weeks later, and for the past 2 weeks have been spotting off and on, sometimes a little heavier, with small clots, other times light. I am not sure why my period has been so irregular. I have had some twinges and cramps, nothing bad though. I have been gassy too, otherwise nothing really out of the norm. I was wondering if any of you ladies have experienced stuff like this before where your period has been so wacky... Could this be a pregnancy sign? I thought that NOT bleeding was... any input??

The Billabong Pipe Masters is the quintessential event in professional surfing and Pipeline is the Holy Grail of waves by which all others are measured. The third and final jewel in the Vans Triple Crown of Surfing, the Pipe Masters is one of the longest running events in professional surfing, even pre-dating the Triple Crown by more than a decade.
Breaking just 75 yards off the beach, Pipeline is at once a surfer's ultimate dream and worst nightmare. It has claimed the lives of more surfers than any other famous break. The beach tremors as waves detonate on Pipeline's extremely shallow reef and spectators can literally feel the energy of the ocean and the precarious tension as a surfer drops into one of Pipeline's hollow, grinding lefts. Any wipeout at Pipeline is a bad one, no matter how big the surf, and the consequences are serious—from injury to death. At Pipeline, it's all about getting barreled, so the bigger the tube and deeper the rider, the bigger the risk, the better the score.
Pipeline is also the nexus for the evolution of the sport. In the early '80s, Simon Anderson proved the utility of the tri-fin surfboard, his own invention, in the big, powerful surf. The fin set-up changed surfboard design and performance, a paradigm to this day. Kelly Slater also brought change to the surf world in the early '90s at Pipeline by making a habit of going right during competition surfing Backdoor, Pipeline's twisted twin. A racing, draining barrel that often closes out, Slater proved that riding shorter surfboards and taking off late under the lip was a recipe for success in the lineup. Seeking out the tricky Backdoor barrels opened up the playing field at Pipeline and signaled a new era in how these waves are surfed in competition.

How much will BP's suspension hurt?
The EPA's temporary ban on future contracts with the company could affect some operations, but will likely have little short-term impact.
Are the recent federal actions leveled against BP (BP) a new warning to the oil giant and other corporations -- or simply a symbolic wrist-slap?
Wednesday, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency announced it was temporarily suspending BP from new contracts with the federal government.
According to the EPA's press release, the agency took this latest action "due to BP's lack of business integrity as demonstrated by the company's conduct with regard to the Deepwater Horizon blowout, explosion, oil spill, and response, as reflected by the filing of a criminal information."
Earlier this month, BP announced it would pay $4.5 billion in fines for its role in the deadly 2010 accident on its Deepwater Horizon drilling rig in the Gulf of Mexico. That oil rig explosion killed 11 workers and created one of the worst environmental disasters in U.S. history. The federal indictment also leveled criminal charges against the company and, in an unusual move, against a former BP vice president and two other employees.
For its part, BP notes the EPA's action "relates only to future potential contracts with the U.S. government. The temporary suspension does not affect any existing contracts the company has with the U.S. government, including those relating to current and ongoing drilling and production operations in the Gulf of Mexico."
But the suspension could potentially jeopardize BP's future oil operations in the Gulf -- as well as its ongoing, lucrative contracts with the U.S. military. And there's speculation the EPA action might also force BP to resolve numerous, oil spill-related civil lawsuits filed against it by a variety of states and businesses.
"BP had years to improve its business ethics and is paying the price for its inaction," said Scott Amey with the federal watchdog group Project on Government Oversight. Amey also believes the suspension is a warning to other federal contractors.
But other experts have their doubts. "If the suspension had affected existing contracts or had been announced as lasting a set minimum period of time (like one or two years), I think it could more readily be understood as a real additional penalty, rather than a largely symbolic gesture," said David Dana, a professor at Northwestern University and expert in environmental law.
As it currently stands, Dana says, the suspension is more a way for the government to underscore "the seriousness and importance of the criminal settlement and pending criminal charges against the individuals."
And in the meantime, analysts say the suspension will probably have little short-term impact on BP's current contracts and operations.
"BP's supply contract of fuels to the Pentagon might be at risk," Pavel Molchanov, an analyst with Raymond James & Associates, told Reuters. "But of course BP could supply other customers if this supply contract is not renewed."

Health care and you
Recently, a friend related his experience with a medical problem. After lengthy waits to get medical attention, he went to the hospital ER. His complaints were low-grade fever and in general feeling bad. After being admitted to the hospital and receiving a battery of tests, no major problems were indicated. Finally it was determined that a boil on his rear was his only ailment. When I was a child, my dad lanced a big boil on my knee by sticking it with a sewing needle and mashed it until a core popped out. My friend, however, was told surgery would be necessary and that no operating room was available until the next day. Luckily, a young doctor showed up in his room and asked if he would allow the procedure to be done there. Consent was quickly given, the boil lanced and my friend discharged. A few days after he had escaped the clutches of these private-sector caregivers, he received a bill for $14,000.
Until some scheme is devised to assure that every American citizen has some form of paid-for health care, the issue of health care will never be fixed. Government intervention is necessary if we are to ever have decent health care for all Americans.
The big lie currently being offered in the health-care debates is that health care can best be fixed by the private sector. Private insurance companies are not searching for ways to provide medical help for the poor and sick. The insurance industry's aim is to avoid insuring people with health issues. They prefer to insure those who aren't sick. Neither pharmaceutical companies, doctors nor hospitals are promoting lower costs of medical care.
Almost all experts believe that better management of delivering medical treatment is our best hope for cost savings. To date, government programs have done a better job of delivering savings than the private sector. Medicaid, for example, delivers prescription medicine to folks at a lower cost. This is mainly because Medicaid has been allowed to negotiate with the drug manufacturing industry for lower costs. Experts estimate that up to $135 billion could be saved if only Medicare was allowed by Congress to negotiate for the same type of discounts.
Congress has once again put the public's needs second to lobby interests. Big drug companies have an army of lobbyists in Washington ready to spend millions against any congressman who crosses them. Emboldened by the recent Supreme Court ruling that corporations can spend unlimited amounts of money in elections, it takes a very brave politician to oppose such special influences.
The only antidote to a tidal wave of corporate money at election time is well informed, well motivated citizens. The best time for citizens to be heard is just before election time. If you care about a healthy America in the future, ask those seeking seats in the U. S. Senate and House of Representatives now if they will side with the people or the special interests.
Keynesian vs Austrian Economics
Any student of government intervention will observe that the more the government intervenes, the more perverted, corrupted, unfocused and expensive the health care system will become.
What is needed is quality education to explain why embracing Keynesian economics is woefully inappropriate. In fact, to continually embrace the Keynesian path will provide less of what Mr Parker desparately calls for: quality health care at a fair and reasonable price dictated by the natural forces of a free market place.
An appreciation of Austrian economics will yield an understanding that an ever-burgeoning bureaucracy (as politically ruled by man with rules and regulations having ever more oversight committees and panels) is nothing more than needless and excessive overhead at the expense of the health care industry and those who serve it.
In short, the $14,000 medical bill is a DIRECT RESULT OF the government already having intruded in the health care sector . . . NOT DUE TO the LACK OF the government's presence.

Eat right, look younger -- it's as simple as that. Here are 7 anti-aging foods that may help to erase wrinkles and help you look younger.
Why they work: This fruit is packed with vitamin C, which helps guard against the wrinkling effects of sun damage. Plus, says Debra Jaliman, MD, an assistant professor of dermatology at Mt. Sinai School of Medicine in New York City, the juice in pomegranate seeds contains both ellagic acid and punicalagin. The first is a polyphenol compound that fights damage from free radicals; the second is a supernutrient that may increase your body's capacity to preserve collagen, the subdermal connective tissue that makes skin look smooth and plump.
Serve yourself: A cup of pomegranate seeds -- not just juice -- every week, suggests Jackie Newgent, RD, a nutritionist based in New York City.

Why it works: These delicious little blue wonders contain more antioxidants than almost any other food does. Translation: They can give your skin extra protection against the skin-damaging free radicals that result from sun exposure, emotional stress, and even overexercising (especially running).
Serve yourself: One-half cup every day will help to prevent the cell-structure damage that can lead to loss of firmness, fine lines, and wrinkles.

Why they work: These vital veggies contain special phytonutrients, or antioxidant compounds, that help guard against damage caused by the sun. Spinach is loaded with beta-carotene and lutein, two nutrients that have been shown to improve skin elasticity, according to a study in the Journal of Agricultural Food Chemistry.
Serve yourself: Every week, aim for three cups of either kale or spinach, or a combination of both, suggests Newgent.

Why they work: Sardines, salmon, and mackerel contain omega-3 fatty acids, which strengthen skin-cell membranes, helping keep moisture in. Consuming two servings of fish a week can reduce chronic skin inflammations, such as eczema and psoriasis.
Serve yourself: No more than six 6-ounce portions a week to avoid mercury contamination.

Why it works: This healthy brew, says Dr. Jaliman, contains catechins (one of the most effective compounds for preventing sun damage like hyperpigmentation) and polyphenols (antioxidants that combat free-radical damage and may reverse the effects of aging).
Serve yourself: At least one cup a day to see results in as little as a month.

Westmont has installed a new Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectrometer in the Whittier Science Building thanks to a $383,000 grant from the Fletcher Jones Foundation. The new 400 MHz spectrometer, which replaces a 300 MHz spectrometer that had reached the end of its 14-year life expectancy, allows researchers to peer into the molecular world and determine the structure of molecules.
"The chemistry department is feeling energized with the new spectrometer and a recent grant challenge match from the Stauffer Charitable Trust to endow our summer research program," says Niva Tro, Westmont chemistry professor. "The new Fletcher Jones NMR will be an essential tool in our vital research program."
The spectrometer is housed in the Fletcher Jones Foundation NMR Laboratory on the second floor of the Whittier Science Building. Since 1984, Fletcher Jones has given about $1.3 million in grants for other technology upgrades and research equipment, which have enhanced Westmont's biology, chemistry, engineering and physics, and psychology departments. The foundation has also contributed $1.5 million toward the endowment of the Gaede Institute for the Liberal Arts and to establish the rotating Fletcher Jones Foundation Endowed Chair in the Social Sciences.
The Fletcher Jones Foundation was established in 1968 by Fletcher Jones, cofounder of Computer Sciences Corporation, a worldwide leader in business technology. Following his untimely death in 1972, the foundation received the bulk of his estate. The primary mission of the foundation has been and still is the support of private, independent degree granting institutions of higher education in California.
Kristi Lazar Cantrell, assistant professor of chemistry, has used NMR extensively and has published her research in scientific literature. She uses the NMR with students in organic chemistry laboratories and in her research group to check the purity of chemicals in protein synthesis and purification. Westmont obtained the previous spectrometer when Cantrell was a student at Westmont. "We used the NMR frequently in class and during my undergraduate research," she says. "When I entered graduate school, I was able to use the NMR there with little training, and I was thankful for the time my professors at Westmont invested to teach me this invaluable technique."

Challenge Grant from the Stauffer Charitable Trust to Support Summer Undergraduate Research
The John Stauffer Charitable Trust has awarded a $500,000 challenge grant to endow the Westmont chemistry department's Summer Science Research Program. The trust will match each dollar donated to the program through 2017 until the college is able to endow the program with $1 million.
"Summer research at Westmont with Professor Allan Nishimura taught me how to be a scientist and ultimately persuaded me to pursue my doctorate in physical chemistry at Stanford," says Niva Tro, who has been teaching chemistry at Westmont for 22 years. "Because I was included as a coauthor on three of Allan's publications, I was able to gain admission into the best chemistry graduate program in the country."
In Nishmura's 31 years at Westmont, he has collaborated with about 80 different students, co-authoring 95 published manuscripts.
"The grant secures the future of undergraduate research in the chemistry department at Westmont in perpetuity," Tro says. "We manage to scrape our program together each year, but this grant puts it on secure footing and will even allow us to expand it a bit."
If fully matched, the grant will fund housing and stipends for eight to 10 student researchers each summer. Currently, the college has the funding for three to six student researchers. "Science is best learned through apprenticeship," Tro says. "When students do real research in a small group with a faculty member, they experience science from the inside. That experience is invaluable."
The John Stauffer Charitable Trust, a private foundation based in Pasadena, was established in 1974 under Stauffer's will. The trust directs its support primarily to Southern California hospitals, universities and colleges. In recent years, the trust has emphasized grants to fund student research in chemistry and biochemistry at such colleges as Westmont, Occidental, Harvey Mudd and Pomona.

Hannah Ryan, a 2012 Student Summer Researcher in Chemistry
had these comments about her experiences working with Professor Nishimura:
My summer research experience was truly impactful .... Research opened up my eyes to a world of creative and critical thinking.
I play the violin in the Westmont orchestra, and I realized that science is a lot like music. ...[R]esearch is the composing of science. It is the artistic expression of scientific minds... questioning, discovering, creating.
Confidence in my ability to think and explore has revolutionized the way I approach academics... and also my personal life. I am more engaged in my classes, and just have a general hunger for learning.
Our New Faculty Members in 2011
Dr. Michael Everest, who joined Westmont as professor of chemistry in August, 2011, says he is passionate about offering students a high-quality, undergraduate, liberal arts education. "It's in my DNA," he says. In fact his parents, Dan and Sherry (Sonneveldt) Everest, both graduated with degrees in psychology from Westmont in 1967, Sherry with a double major in education. Michael, a Wheaton College alumnus, earned his doctorate from Stanford University and most recently was professor of chemistry at George Fox University, where he taught for the past decade.
"College isn't about job training," he says. "College is learning about the human condition and about the world and how it works. You can specialize and do job training later. The best preparation for a particular career isn't necessarily a degree titled with that career name."
Everest's research leans toward the physics end of chemistry, focusing on the use of lasers in chemistry. He returned to Oregon from Heraklion, Greece, in June 2010, following a one-year sabbatical at the Foundation for Research and Technology Hellas, where he researched the interaction of polarized light with matter.
"Chemistry is a way of knowing," he says. "It's a field of inquiry. It's investigating a particular aspect of how the world works. The fact that it's commercially useful isn't the primary reason I'm interested in it."
He explains there's a single principle that describes why every single chemical reaction goes forward instead of backward and why ice freezes at zero and water boils at 100 degrees Celsius.
"There's one foundational thing," he says. "That just amazes me. It's beautiful that at the core there's a truth that has all these implications when at the surface it looks like crazy stuff and unconnected observations."
Everest has earned numerous grants, fellowships and awards, including a grant from the America Chemical Society's Petroleum Research Fund and five faculty research grants from George Fox. He has contributed scholarly articles to Journal of Chemical Physics, Journal of Chemical Education and Review of Scientific Instruments to name a few.
Everest published an article in the American Journal of Physics, "Balanced polarimeter: A cost-effective approach for measuring the polarization of light,"with Ken Kihlstrom (physics) and Luke H.C. Patterson '14.
As a student, Dr. Kristi Lazar '00 says the unique living and learning environment at Westmont shaped her life. "Being a part of this community is special," she says. "I felt blessed to have four years here to devote my time to learning and growing as a person. My professors encouraged me every day."
Ten years later, Lazar, assistant professor of chemistry, returns to Westmont, seeking to impart a joy for learning. "I hope my students feel motivated to apply themselves, embrace the material and learn to think about the world in terms of God's handiwork," she says.
Lazar, who earned a master's degree at Princeton University and a doctorate from the University of Chicago, returned to Westmont as a visiting assistant professor in January 2010 and began her tenure-track position this fall.
Her area of expertise is in protein aggregation, including the deposits of misfolded proteins thought to be responsible for many degenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's. She recently completed a 10-week summer research program with two Westmont students. Her students focused on the aggregation of protein models of apolipoprotein A-I, a protein that helps remove cholesterol from the body.
"I'm interested in delving into the structural level, trying to figure out what the protein looks like in the aggregate," she says.
Lazar credits President Emeritus David Winter for her decision to enroll at Westmont in 1996. On a cold, rainy day in Visalia, Calif., Winter visited Grace Community Church to talk about Westmont to prospective students.
"There was a very small turnout," she says. "I was a junior in high school and had never heard of Westmont, but after meeting him I got so excited about the college. He is an amazing person." After applying and attending Preview Days, Lazar met Allan Nishimura, professor of chemistry. "That was very special as well, and I knew this was the place I was going to study," she says.
Lazar recalled her initial encounter with Dr. Winter as he spoke at the dedication of Winter Hall in May 2011.
"I was standing there listening to him at the ceremony, thinking about God's provision, the meeting at my church and how that led me back here as a professor," she says. "It was moving to reflect on that, to see this new building and Dr. Winter's legacy."
Lazar enrolled at Westmont with the intention of becoming a pharmacist, but after conducting research in the chemistry department, her professors encouraged her to attend graduate school.
She undertook two years of postdoctoral research at Genentech Inc., a biotech company, before applying for the Westmont teaching position.
"I worked as a teacher's assistant while I attended Westmont, and I always dreamed about teaching," she says. "I reread my prayer journal recently, and I mentioned it would be wonderful to teach at a place like Westmont. It's a little surreal."
Professor Nishimura: The New Kathleen Smith Chair of Natural and Behavioral Sciences
Allan Nishimura, professor of chemistry, has been installed in the Kathleen Smith chair of natural and behavioral sciences, the first endowed faculty chair in the sciences. A reception and induction ceremony was held on Wednesday, April 11, 2007 on the Westmont College campus.Three former students gave short, personal descriptions of Dr. Nishimura as a professor, research mentor, friend and colleague, followed by a presentation by the awardee on his current research. Chancellor David Winter bestowed the award and gave the Kathleen Smith metal to Dr. Nishimura. Below is a picture of the three former students with Prof. Nishimura and Chancellor Winter.

Molecule by Molecule
New General Chemistry text moves quickly to the top of the class.
Niva Tro, Professor of Chemistrypublished a textbook, "Chemistry:
Structures and Properties" (Pearson). Pearson is also releasing the
fifth edition of his book, "Introductory Chemistry," with an eText. Michael Everest (chemistry) developed a companion workbook for the textbook.
Niva Tro loves teaching chemistry, but he wasn't satisfied with the textbooks available for college courses. So he started writing his own. His first venture, "Chemistry in Focus: A Molecular View of Our World" (Thomson, 2001), has reached its fourth edition. Students at more than 70 colleges and universities use the book in classes for non-majors. Emphasizing the role of the molecular world in daily life, Niva demonstrates the relevance of chemistry by covering issues such as global warming, acid rain and drugs.
The success of this book encouraged Niva to produce a second work, "Introductory Chemistry" (Prentice Hall, 2006). In use at more than 220 institutions, the text is the best-selling volume for preparatory chemistry. He discovered the need for such a book when he taught at Pepperdine; Westmont doesn't offer this kind of class. As he did in the earlier book, Niva ties chemistry to current events and helps students understand the value of mastering scientific concepts. Clear writing and clever graphics make the text appealing ."Chemistry: A Molecular Approach" (Prentice Hall, 2008) was released in the spring of 2007, the text drew strong and immediate interest. Niva attempts to meet the needs of both faculty and students by covering complex material in depth while striving to make it as easy as possible to grasp. "I set the bar high and then gave students a lot of help in mastering the content," he says. "With support, they can reach a higher level of understanding."

Professor Allan Nishimura Receives UC Davis Prize
Professor Allan Nishimura of the Chemistry Department has received the UC Davis Prize in Undergraduate Research Mentorship. He was given the award on June 8, 2004 when he presented an invited seminar at UC Davis entitled:"Formation of Molecular Clusters by Percolation of Water Through para-Dihalobenzene Adlayer on Al2O3(0001)"The research presented at the seminar was the result of work done by several undergraduate students at Westmont. In its second year, the UC Prize is designed to recognize professors at primarily undergraduate colleges and universities who have been successful in mentoring undergraduates in research and inspiring them to continue research in graduate school. Several Westmont graduates in chemistry have recently gone on to graduate school at UC Davis and these include Scott Riley (1997), Mako Masuno (1997) and David Saiki (2000).The prize was given to Professor Nishimura by Professor William Jackson, chair of the chemistry department at UC Davis, and included a plaque and a modest cash honorarium.

The World's Largest Jigsaw Puzzle
It comes in four boxes, has 24,000 pieces and is a gigantic 14ft by 5ft when complete. 'Life: The Great Challenge', created by artist Royce B. McClure is the world's largest jigsaw puzzle and even has a Guinness Book of World Records Certificate to prove it.
Since it's release in March 2007, the puzzle, which can take up to six months to solve, has been completed by only a handful of people.
The puzzle's manufacturer has even created a 'Hall of Fame' page on their website www.worldslargestpuzzle.com/hof.html, and they encourage puzzle enthusiasts to write in and tell their 'story' on how they completed the puzzle.
The first people ever to complete the puzzle were the Slater family (pictured above) from Sacramento, California. Scott Slater and his wife P.J. have been doing puzzles since they first met while in college. They started with small ones and gradually went on to bigger ones, as they got better. All their big puzzles, including one with 18,000 pieces (the biggest before this one), are mounted like artwork on their walls. Scott said he bought this one the day he found out about it. It took the Slaters 34 days (about 400 hours), to complete the puzzle and they are now ready for the next challenge.
Royce B. McClure says that when he was commissioned to create the puzzle, his biggest challenge was to incorporate enough detail so as to make the puzzle interesting and stimulating, but not impossible to complete. It had to be tough but also fun!
He ended up creating a puzzle with four sections, which when combined make up 'Life: The Great Challenge'. He also tried to make each section as different from the others as possible, so that puzzle solvers would not get 'bored' doing the same thing four times. It seems he has succeeded in his mission, for people who have started the puzzle cannot seem to stop until they complete it! Be sure to check out the website www.worldslargestpuzzle.com for all sorts of fun information about this puzzle and the fun stories each 'Hall of Famer' has to narrate about his/her/their experience.

Calling All Glam Backpackers
It was a case of It girls vs. It bags last night at a Barneys party celebrating The Row's new handbag collection. On one side of the room were the Olsen sisters, hard to peel your eyes off of, in an Art Deco beaded dress (Ashley) and a mint-green shorts suit (Mary-Kate) from their Resort collection. And on the other: the new totes, day bags, and evening satchels from their debut line. At 35K, the glazed black crocodile backpack, in particular, received plenty of admiring glances, and not a few caresses. (Two of those five-figure beauties were pre-ordered at The Row's trunk show.)
Years of carrying Balenciagas, Fendis, and Hermès Birkins prepared the Olsens for designing a line of their own, and they had very specific ideas about how it should look. No unnecessary hardware, exacting lines, only the highest-quality materials. "We wanted to do a bag for every occasion," said Mary-Kate, who was carrying a glossy croc iPad case from Resort without an iPad in it, just cigarettes and a cell phone. "Bags had become quite unstructured—as a trend they got gi-normous," Simon Doonan said later on at dinner at The Crown. "To have a bag with precision design that's more considered and beautifully executed is exactly right for now. I spent part of the evening with the black crocodile backpack, and that was a good feeling."

We're in the trade deadline window of opportunity now, don't hit the can without your phone. Nail Yakupov will play tonight, if you're at 7-11 and a distant speaker yells "healthy scratch" assume it's Hemsky.
And we're rolling.
Nick Schultz' brother has been tweeting out some very personal things in regard to Nick and the Oilers over the last few months. It didn't really reach its audience until last night, and then all hell broke loose. Here are some examples (courtesy Woodguy in the comments section).
- kris schultz @ripper5505Dec 31
If Yak gave the puck away like Ebs just did he wouldn't see the ice unless it was in his vodka. Yet Ebs keeps getting tossed over the boards
- kris schultz @ripper5505Dec 31
There is as much accountability in that Oiler dressing room as there is hair on Kevin Lowes head. What a sad state of affairs my friends
- kris schultz @ripper5505Dec 28
My concept of the Chinese language is equivalent to Sam Gagne's concept of the Centre position in his own end. #thestickcheckwizard
- kris schultz @ripper5505Dec 5
19 is poor lets not kid ourselves.But when is someone going to question Steve Smiths ability to coach?19 simply doesn't know his position
- kris schultz @ripper5505Nov 13
If you don't play my way and the right way you won't play" Dallas Eakins. Well guess what Dallas the kids are eating your lunch just like They did to all the other coaches they've had. If you punish Yak and call him out you better not look the other way when 4 and 14 mess up
If I were a betting man, Nick Schultz being dealt today would get a lot of coin. I'm not certain if this will get any play beyond twitter, but it does show a side of the Oilers one suspects they don't want out there. It's a field day and a disaster. I kind of feel for Kris Schultz, he clearly cares for his brother and this is going to be a tough 24 hours. Hopefully they can have a beer and share a laugh at the lake this summer.
Anton Belov, who I suspect was in play, won't be traded at the deadline. Belov has a partially torn oblique and won't be back for at least a couple of weeks. Phil Larsen has a perfectly good plane ticket to OKC if he clears waivers at 10 this morning. I've gone through the entire season being uncertain about Belov as an NHL player. I wish I had Kris Schultz' clarity on the matter.
- Ales Hemsky: First-round draft pick (or a second and a fourth).
- Nick Schultz: A third round pick.
- Ryan Smyth: A fourth round pick.
- Corey Potter: A fourth round pick.
Anton Belov: A fourth round pick.
- Ilya Bryzgalov: A fourth round pick.
- Jesse Joensuu: A fourth round pick.
- Taylor Fedun: A fourth round pick.
- Mark Fraser: A fourth round pick.
- Luke Gazdic: A fifth round pick.
- Ryan Jones: A sixth round pick.
- Denis Grebeshkov: A seventh round pick.
- Ben Eager: A seventh round pick.
- Oscar Klefbom: As part of a hockey deal.
I have not included Anton Lander and Mark Arcobello, but the attention paid by Montreal to the Barons may be coming into view. We've heard that MacT is interested in Andrei Markov, and that might be a large deal involving players and picks. I have included Oscar Klefbom for that purpose.
The Calgary Flames, beacons of light and truth, tweeted this out two deadlines ago. An apology quickly followed, but it reflects the attitudes many have had toward 83 over the years. Hemsky remained an Oiler then (I believe) because of Kevin Lowe. I do not believe the call will come this time to sign the Pardubice prince, and do suspect he will be dealt—perhaps before game time. Ales Hemsky is the focus of a fine article by Travis Yost here and is mentioned here in a Rob Rossi article detailing Pittsburgh's interest. The perfect fit for Hemsky? San Jose, followed by Pittsburgh and then (imo) Ottawa. I always wonder about New Jersey when a player is undervalued.
We discussed Andrei Markov on Sunday, that rumor has legs and became a central item on twitter yesterday. I think we can see the logic—bringing in a veteran guy who can play big, tough minutes—but that was part of the idea with Andrew Ference and it resulted in a long term deal with subpar results (so far). I do understand the thinking behind sending (as an example) Oscar Klefbom and a 2015 pick to Montreal for Markov (and then signing him) because it alters the depth chart in a very nice way.
- Markov-J Schultz
- Marincin-Petry
- Ference-Dillon Simpson
I used Simpson, your mileage may vary. The question I have about Markov is this: how much of the numbers are him and how much are his partner? Also how much does he have left?
We'll see. I don't know that they'll get Markov, but if they do the salary and term are one concern, the ask is the other. That's a rumor worth fretting over.
This is the day to check your twitter every minute. We'll have all the updates and the breaking news, and it's a busy show, too. 10 this morning on TSN 1260, here's the schedule:
- Scott Cullen from TSN. Deadline and is St. Louis the favorite for Stanley? He also has an interesting take on some of the big names available at the deadline.
- Andrew Berkshire from Habs Eye on the Prize. Montreal at the deadline, and I'll ask how a team that plays Douglas Murray 20 minutes a night maintains a playoff spot.
- Corey Graham Oil Kings PBP. Medicine Hat and Calgary put some sting into the weekend, OK in SK to make it better.
- Bruce McCurdy from Cult of Hockey. We'll talk deadline, Scrivens deal and more.
- Darrin Bauming from TSN. Jets at the deadline and Buck Pierce calls it a career.
10-1260 via text and @Lowetide_ on twitter. It's going to be a blast, see you on the radio!

Aired after The Day of the Doctor, this party has Doctors and companions both past and present along with fans to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Doctor Who including a lovely interview with Tom.
There were video messages from those who weren't able to be there including one actor who hasn't appeared in the TV series, Ben Miller.
It was also quite unexpected to see among these messages Jackie Lane (Dodo) as this is the first time I have heard what her voice sounds like today.
Quite surprised that Jake from the 2006 Cybermen episodes has been counted as a companion.
I am not sure everyone is going to agree on the winner of the Ultimate Companion game.
The After Party has been served well by clips of the series.
I have noticed that people upon seeing this thought The After Party was an awful idea.
I personally did not find it half bad as I did not take it that seriously.
