In 2012, the LSU AgCenter Office of Intellectual Property celebrated its 25th anniversary. During that time it grew to be the leader in commercialization of intellectual property within the LSU System and, in fact, within higher education in Louisiana. Since 2000, 14 new companies have been started based on licensing technology from the AgCenter. Royalties from these companies and from other licensing agreements are distributed among the LSU System, the inventors and the AgCenter, where funds are funneled back into more research. The most lucrative of these licensing agreements has been with the international chemical company BASF for a herbicide-resistant line of rice varieties known as Clearfield. The successful commercialization of intellectual property has come about because of the research culture within the LSU AgCenter. This culture has focused on applied research – research conducted with practical implications for the clientele. Since 1887, when research first began in the Louisiana Agricultural Experiment Station – the research arm of the AgCenter – scientists have aimed their efforts at practical solutions for the problems of growing food and fiber and raising livestock in a subtropical climate. To advance the adoption of new technology, the research culture in the AgCenter also has involved close working relationships with businesses and industry. The LSU AgCenter is one of the nation's best examples of how an institution of higher education can serve as a stimulus to economic growth. Its history is one of keeping the agriculture industry in the state alive and thriving. Its record is one of conducting research with practical, immediate application and in collaborative partnerships with business and industry.
Facts about LSU AgCenter intellectual property:
Successful companies resulting from LSU AgCenter licensing agreements include: H&B Beverages
H&B Beverages LLC, is a sports drink company focusing on low-sugar, low-calorie products high in electrolytes and other valuable nutrients. Their drink line, EX5, uses technology developed by John Finley, Joan King, Darryl Holliday, Adriana Soto and Alfredo Prudente at the Department of Food Science to achieve this unique set of benefits. EX5 is best known for having three times as many electrolytes as leading competing products, such as Gatorade and Powerade. The company was established in Covington, La., in 2011 by local entrepreneurs Brian Brothers and Craig P. Hart. The company has recently begun distribution of its product.
Esperance Pharmaceuticals Inc. is a Baton Rouge-based biopharmaceutical company that develops novel targeted anticancer agents based on patented technologies from the LSU AgCenter, Pennington Biomedical Research Center and LSU A&M.
Hole Pluggers/TigerBullets
TigerBullets are a new type of plastic-and-wood composite that prevents lost circulation in oil drilling wells. The technology was licensed from the LSU AgCenter by the Louisiana startup company Hole Pluggers. The company has entered into a worldwide distribution agreement with MI Swaco (a subsidiary of Halliburton).
Delta Land Services
Delta Land Services is a varied company that has partnered with the LSU AgCenter to develop a marsh remediation and coastal restoration technology. Delta is a local Louisiana company commercializing the LSU AgCenter technology under the trade name Shore Links to deliver a low-cost solution for coastal wetland protection and restoration.
TransGenRx, a biopharmaceutical manufacturing company, has developed technology that significantly reduces the cost of producing protein-based drugs by using a high-expressing avian cell line combined with their patented vector system.
BASF/Clearfield Rice
Clearfield rice is a herbicide-resistant rice developed by the LSU AgCenter and grown around the world under exclusive license to BASF. This technology revolutionized the rice industry. It allows farmers to make considerable progress against the weed red rice. Because Clearfield is herbicide-resistant, farmers can use herbicides to kill the red rice without harming the commercial rice. The technology allows farmers to drill-seed rice into dry soil instead of water-seeding from the air, which is more expensive and can lead to more soil loss from the fields.
"Looking back is not nearly as exciting as looking forward," said Wade Baumgartner, director of the Office of Intellectual Property. "Over the next five years, it is the goal of the AgCenter's Office of Intellectual Property to remake technology transfer on our campus. We will continue the traditional functions of technology transfer – patenting, material transfers and licensing. But more importantly, we want to build a community among our researchers, Louisiana businesses and investors, and small businesses and entrepreneurs.
"The formula for success in the next 25 years will be the same as in the previous 25 years – having the right people with the right attitude moving in concert toward a worthwhile goal."
The LSU AgCenter is one of 10 institutions of higher education in the Louisiana State University System. Headquartered in Baton Rouge, it provides educational services in every parish and conducts research and extension programs that contribute to the economic development of the state. The LSU AgCenter does not grant degrees nor benefit from tuition increases. The LSU AgCenter plays an integral role in supporting agricultural industries, enhancing the environment, and improving the quality of life through nutrition education and 4-H youth, family and community programs.

The show is called 19 Kids & Counting. Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar put the emphasis on counting this week with a visit to the fertility doctor. You read that right. Nineteen kids are not enough in Duggarland.
"We would love more children if God saw fit to give us more," said Michelle. "I just want to make sure that I am ready to catch a baby if that would happen."
Catch a 20th baby at age 48, Michelle? Most moms would fake a permanent headache to keep Jim Bob on his side of the bed after 19 pregnancies, including a very difficult one with Josie and a devastating miscarriage. Then again, if I were Michelle I would have closed shop 17 kids ago. Just sayin'. Anyway, next week we will learn the results of Michelle's blood work to determine if she's in menopause.
Jessa went to Ben Seewald's for the weekend to flirt at arm's length and practice her cooking skills. Jinger was a little uncomfortable being their chaperone but did her best as the "plus one." Ben's sisters taught Jessa how to make his favorite meal: Fettuccine alfredo and apple pie. When Ben walked in the door and saw "the most gorgeous girl in the world with an apron," he was beyond thrilled. (Is it hardwired in the male genetic code to freak out when their pretty girlfriend cooks?) Ben gave Jessa one dozen red roses and an extra long side-hug before devouring the meal.
Jessa, Ben, and Jinger also flew to Washington, D.C., to visit Josh and Anna. The girls gushed about how cute Ben is with Jessa while the guys went to the gym. Josh clearly had the upper hand when it came to grilling Ben about courtship, but Ben schooled Josh on the equipment. That boy is in shape! He did pull-up after pull-up without breaking a sweat. He could carry on a conversation without hyperventilating from exhaustion or stress. Hot damn!
Meanwhile, Jana and Jill stayed up all night volunteering at the birth center. They assisted and comforted a mom who gave birth to a baby girl in a bathtub sans epidural. Both girls loved being there to witness the miracle of life. Maybe they will bring home some baby magic for Michelle.
What do you think the test results will show for Michelle? Will she be able to get pregnant again?
Image via TLC
This May harsh, but if do t think she should get pregnant again. She is 48 with most if the kids at home. She should be mothering the ones she already has.
If she wants to and is in good health why not? They aren't on welfare as far as I know, so it shouldn't be any one elses business. Their family appears to be loved and well taken care of.
Who are you to say NO. They support their family and they are better children than a couple of my own were.
If God wanted them to have children so badly wouldn't it be happening the old fashioned way!

Dealing with these feelings is often easier as you learn more about your disease and get support. Doctors, nurses, and other members of your health care team can answer questions about your concerns. Talking with friends and relatives or getting in touch with others who have had leukemia or cancer can be helpful. Meeting with a social worker, counselor, or member of the clergy may also help. Many people with leukemia attend support groups. There they can share what they have learned about leukemia and its treatments.
Here are some options for finding support:
Ask a nurse or social worker at your hospital or clinic for referrals. They might suggest a local or national group that can offer emotional support, financial aid, transportation, home care, or other services.
Call the National Cancer Institute's Cancer Information Service. It can be reached at 800-4-CANCER (800-422-6237) for information about resources.
Call the American Cancer Society at 800-ACS-2345 (800-227-2345). It is a nonprofit organization that helps people with cancer and their families.
Contact the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society at 800-955-4572 or online.

Aside from cinephiles, kung fu aficionados, and fans of martial arts movies, few will be familiar with the name Ip Man, the legendary teacher of Bruce Lee and others. But minutes into Wong Kar-wai's account of Ip's life (starring Tony Leung), there will be no forgetting the guy in the cool fedora and long black coat wiping out an army of thugs in a rain-swept alley. Who knows what they're fighting about, but given the ecstatic ballet of fists and water, tossed bodies and smashed decor, centered by Leung's majestic impassivity, it doesn't really matter.
As a kung fu film, "The Grandmaster," with its exhilarating fighting sequences, won't disappoint. And as a Wong Kar-wai film, it rates high with its poetic exploration of thwarted desire, the inevitability of loss, and the tyranny of social roles. It is the lyrical counterpart to Wong's 1994 epic, the sword-wielding, medieval-set wuxia, "Ashes of Time." But as a narrative, it can be challenging.

After traveling two weeks in a row and eating through the holidays, I'm feeling pretty gluttonous these days. I've been eating tons of rich food and drinks which I guess is part of what makes the holidays special.
On top of that I'm also working on the pulled pork chapter of my new book at the same time so there's lots of delicious shredded pork in my fridge.
So, I'm looking forward to it being 2013. I usually like to kick off the new year with some healthy eating and I have some fun healthy meals planned!
Let's kick it off with a healthy poll for next year!
The Poll
Pick something healthy!
The Links
Since New Years is right around the corner, I tried to feature some links with great party/appetizer ideas!
Five Martinis for a Classy New Year – Is it still classy if I have one of each? Not sure, but they all sound good to me! (@ Huff Post)
Fried Pickles – One of my favorite appetizers and super-easy to make. They are actually oven fried rather than deep fried. The Southwest dipping sauce is a nice touch although I'm happy to just eat these plain. (@ Healthy Delicious)
Cashew Dip – I'm in charge of appetizers for a New Year's party this year and this is on my menu. It's a wonderful and simple dip. (@ Self-Promotional!)
Baked Artichoke Dip – This is one of my favorite dips. It's rich and not that hard to make. It also feeds a crowd! (@ Martha)

I came in not really knowing what to expect, but after this medical mission trip, not only was my heart changed but I felt this tug on my heart telling me I need to come back to this community of Rojo Gomez, Mexico. God is definitely working in their lives and our lives, I can only hope to continue to be a part of this story.
Let this be about You, Jesus.

Part-time Associate Teaching Professor
My main interests encompass the relation between the cinema, mind, affect and the public sphere. In particular, I examine the potential of documentary film as well as feature films (analogue and digital forms) for fostering a critical engagement with and understanding of the contemporary world, preferably from a global or transnational perspective. This requires an ethnographic and anthropological perspective alongside aesthetic and formal criteria. Specific topics that highlight these isssues are global cities and transnational communities in the US and Europe, as well as films that performatively engage with split or conflicted identities and depict the uneven power-relations underpinning intersubjective communications and interpersonal contacts.

Dictionary » L » Law of Dominance
Law of Dominance
(genetics) A Mendelian law which holds that one from the pair of alleles coding for a particular trait would be expressed whereas the other is unexpressed. The allele expressed for a particular trait is regarded as the dominant whereas the other (which is unexpressed) is considered recessive.
For instance, a cross between two pure plant breeds for a flower trait of contrasting colors (e.g. blue and white) would result in a progeny (offspring) that bears the two alleles (each inherited from its parents) coding for the blue and white flowers. However, this progeny would produce either blue or white flower. If for instance the dominant color for the flower is blue, then, the allele coding for blue flowers would be expressed whereas the allele for white flowers would not be expressed. In this case, the recessive trait (i.e. white flower) would only be expressed in a progeny when it acquires a pair of recessive alleles from its parents.

Twitter, Jott, and a girl named SandyPosted: December 16th, 2007 | Filed under: Internet Marketing | 3 Comments »
It all started when I got my iPhone several months ago. My iPhone is the first phone I've had that allows me to check emails, check my calendar, check out Craigslist, and get directions. But somehow that wasn't enough, I wanted more! So in my quest to find new tools to use with my iPhone I've come across some websites that are truly INCREDIBLE, INCREDIBLE I TELL YOU and have completely changed my life! Seriously! Even better yet, they're all free and you don't need an iPhone to use them, you can use them with any phone or your computer, woot woot!
So it started when I found Jott. What a concept! I found Jott when I was wishing the iPhone had a built in voice recorder, I used to carry one to record reminders to myself, it looked something like these and you've probably seen them before. Anyhow, Jott is like a voice recorder on steroids with the flexibility of a Russian gymnast all inside your phone! It's amazing. So let me explain…
With Jott you use your phone to call Jott, a woman's voice then asks you who you would like to Jott, I usually say "myself", then I say something like "remember to cash all my big fat affiliate checks". Then I get a nice reminder email in my inbox so when I get home from Wal-Mart I can get on my PC and add the reminder to my ToDo list. However, Jott can do much more, it can not only send emails to yourself, but anyone you want simply by speaking them into your phone, even groups of people that you set up. Jott does even more, some really amazing things…
Jott integrates with many services, one of them I have been playing around with is a service called IWantSandy. Sandy is like your personal assistant, only she's free, never talks back, and has a perfect memory. Basically she's a To-Do list manager and reminder service with a lot of flexibility. You can utilize Sandy in a lot of ways, but here's what I've been doing…
Let's say I am driving to my Aunt Ethel's house for dinner. I get a call from Matt, he's my business partner, Matt says he wants to meet tomorrow at 4:00pm. I have a million things going on tomorrow and by 4:00pm tomorrow I'll be lucky if I remember my name. So after my phone call with Matt I call Jott. Jott says "Who would you like to Jott?".
I reply "Sandy". Then I say… "Remember to meet Matt tomorrow at 4:00pm".
Tomorrow morning when I go to my inbox Sandy has my daily To-Do list summary already sent to me which says "Meet Matt at 4:00pm". I have Sandy start working earlier than I do at 8:00am, yet you can have Sandy start working whenever you decide and have her send your daily To-Do list digest anytime you'd like.
Like I said though, tomorrow I have a MILLION things going on, and sometimes even if I read something in the morning by 4:00pm I forget all about it, however I have NO FEAR, Sandy's got it handled. I told Sandy to text message me 15 minutes before any reminders I set, so at 3:45 I get a text on my iPhone telling me to call Matt, AND I get an email from Sandy as well. It would be pretty hard to forget to call Matt now, in fact I even called him a few minutes before 4:00pm, he said "Miles, you're always on the ball! I wish I could be half as organized as you.".
So I've been playing around with Sandy (get your mind out of the gutter), yet recently Jott started integrating with Google Calendar, which will be nice as I currently use Google Calendar to organize my life and send me SMS reminders of various events, so in a future post I will let you know how that goes and if I fire Sandy in exchange for using Google calendar or keep her around.
Something else I've been doing with Jott is Twittering! Twitter is a service that allows you to send short little blurbs about what you're doing and share them in a variety of ways. You can see my Twitter box on the right hand side of this page. I can call Jott, say "Twitter", and say something like "Eating a Chalupa at Taco Bell". Automatically my Twitter is updated and anyone that is following my Twitters or is looking at my website knows what I am doing and how long ago the event took place. Although this may sound stupid, and I admit it kind of is depending on how you use it, it's EXTREMELY popular. I have several theories behind why this is so popular…
1.) Twitter makes people feel like someone really cares about what they are doing. It's true, try it and you'll see. It's all about the feeling of importance and when you Twitter or blog, you find that having an audience associated with your activities makes them a bit different.
2.) Interconnectedness. Groups of friends, especially teenagers always want to know what they are doing, Twitter goes hand in hand with this.
3.) When Internet Marketing/Personal Development is concerned I once heard someone say "It's all about how close you want to get to your Guru.". Which is so true, people want to follow certain people, for whatever reason, Guru, celebrity, etc. It's the same psychology of why CROWDS of paparazzi follow Britney Spears just to buy a StarBucks coffee and then millions of people watch the video of it. Perhaps she should start Twittering!
So are there any drawbacks to using these services? Well, I think it depends on the person and how they use it. For example personal privacy comes to mind with Twitter. However, for the services themselves I can say that sometimes Jott has trouble recognizing what I say.
Here's an example…
There's another great feature that Jott has which works with Amazon.com. Tonight I was cutting up a nice fresh tomato for a sandwich when I thought to myself "These knifes suck, I need some new nice ones". So I called Jott, I said "Amazon.com" to which it replied "Name a product". I said "Knife Set".
Later when I'm back on my PC I had the Top 5 products on Amazon for that product waiting in my inbox. However, it didn't help me much since Jott thought I said 'NICE SET'.
Here are some great videos on how you can use Jott.

I am now able to maintain a full rock hard sustained erection for the entire course of our love making. I can even rest up for about 30 to 45 minutes and go again! I've never been able to do that before.
Virmax+39, helped me how I am in bed and forgetting about impotence while getting my confidence back helped me to understand I do not have impotence. I feel like I'm the luckiest guy alive so thumbs up to VirmaxX39 for putting my life straight.:-))
I respected that but the last time we had sex together, our love making did not have the fire as before, it felt as if we were having sex for the sake of having sex. I started reading online about how to put back the sparks in to our sex life.
Finally, I ordered your Virmax Adonis Pack and it arrived on a Friday afternoon. That evening, we had what I would consider one of the best times in bed. Our sex life has never been lifeless again..
I was prescribed Viagra and advised to change my eating habits but I wanted something more wholesome and something I could take as a supplement and that' s when I found out virmax+39. It really worked for me and with the understanding from my wife and her fat free cooking techniques has been helping lowering my cholesterol levels, as I am getting healthier I take Virmax+39 less often and feeling good about my progress on the way to getting whole lot getting fitter.
Needless to say I cannot have enough sex now and the confidence that VirmaxX39 has given me is unreal. And, the more I practice the better I seem to get! I guess practice really does make perfect because not only
I have rock solid longer lasting erections but also my recovery time after sex is now quicker than ever before, best of all I rarely use it now as I am top man without it too. Thanks for the great product!
With VirmaxX39 the way it has worked for me, I am a new man now, and I am glad that I tried and ordered it! It has pretty much saved my relationship and put us back on track.
VirmaxX39 gave me a backup plan so that I could relax and not have to get anxious and upset over those times when stress was interfering with my ability to enjoy sex. Just knowing that it is there for me was enough to help matters.
My wife and I have recently gone through boring sex syndrome. One of our wish was that it was time to revive our flagging sex life. Being in our mid 30 and on regular employment, we wanted to add some spice to our sex life. With Virmax my erections are harder and I perform better than before.
We were committed to rekindling our sex life, and Virmax certainly have helped. Also when I'm on Virmax and after first climax I used to fall asleep but now we have another session, something which I was not able to do before.
It has kept my penis erect harder than even before! And what's good is that it has given me the moral boost to combat whatever psychological reasons that made me temporarily impotent.I feel that I am completely revitalized now.
If I saw a beautiful woman, I used to feel anxious about thinking if would I be able to impress her in bed now I do not give it a second thought at least I know that I am not alone at needing for harder and longer erections and VirmaxX39 does look after two parts some woman cannot reach.. Well sometime at least.
I have to say, Virmax+39 helped me immensely to rise to the occasion, it was rock solid and can last longer than usual, my recovery time seemed shortened also and I have sex more often .
Thanks to Virmax+39 for being my back up team, sometimes a man needs a little helping hand too.
If I met a beautiful woman, I used to feel anxious about if would I be able to impress her in bed before, now I do not give it a second thought, I know that I am not alone who needs and after for harder, longer erections I feel more positive with myself now and have hit the gym to get in to shape. Basically VirmaxX39 stopped me going in to further depression and give up on myself.
I stumbled on Virmax+39 by accident and was only swayed to order it because it was fairly inexpensive in comparison to other pills for erectile dysfunction. And had 45 days money back guarantee if it did not work.With VirmaxX39 sex is better now and there is no problems with impotence issues.
I have to say, Virmax has changed all that and now my erections are as hard as it should be with condom, yes I hate condoms and the intimacy of sex is reduced and it is clear my penis does not like it also, however we are not ready for a child right now and VirmaxX39 helped to have sex with condom, Thanks..
Well, thank you guys at Virmax!! The quality of my erection and the passion that goes with it and how long he can last and making sure their partner reaches to orgasm before he reaches his.
I hope some men takes note and do something about it as I think there are many sexually frustrated women out there.
I was happy and also started taking Virmax American Ginseng for that extra stamina and energy, as well. They have really helped me boost my energy levels and lasting longer
My libido has gone up and I need Virmax Stop most of time, without it I have serious premature ejaculation which is not good for me and my girlfriend. Thanks Virmax Stop.
I decided to try Virmax Adonis pack which is combination of Virmax Stop, American Ginseng and VirmaxX39. I have read before that the ginseng herb as a natural aphrodisiac but didn't think much of it. But now, I have to say that it works, at least for me.
First I noticed that our lovemaking lasting longer and behold I can feel the pleasure before I climax rather than a numbing ejaculation before I had with those numbing creams. I can adjust duration of lovemaking depending on how many Virmax stop I take, 4 capsules a night is my daily supplement dose...
Since taking Virmax Adonis combination, sex has never been as rewarding for me and my partner.
I was encouraged with Virmax American Ginseng extract 10:1 and decided Ito test it with VirMaxX39 to improve my performance in bed. I loved my extended stamina and have very hard erections, I realized when I am very hard, my penis is less sensitive to pleasure and in return I last longer.
Before, I would doze off right away after a minute love making, I have extra stamina and I am sure my girlsloves me more as I bring her to shuddering orgasms.
I was pleasantly surprised when after two weeks of regular intake of the supplement, I feel I am more passionate in bed and my wife loved my new found lust and I have more energy than before.I also noticed an increased appetite for sex. In the past, sex was ok, something that had to be done in a relationship. Now I am longing for my wife and want it really bad, I guess my 9-5 work routine, doing same things everyday sucked my energy levels and my lust for life and sex.
It is as if I feel younger and also more alert now, I am also more aware what is happening around me.
I definitely recommend Virmax American Ginseng 10:1 to anyone looking to boost their energy levels and improve their quality of life.
I must say that I have been extremely satisfied with the results. I have found that my sex drive is a lot better than before, and that I am much more interested in sex than I had been. My wife is also pleased and she makes sure we take 5 Virmax Stop capsules each day.
I wanted to be as good as when I was in my early twenties and I started on the Virmax Adonis pack. I now have better, stronger erections and lasting longer, The Virmax American Ginseng provides the energy and helping me go long without going breathless.
I like to put ladies satisfaction before mine and this pack just put in what I wanted all along. I love giving women I sleep with the most pleasure and enjoyment and if their reactions are anything to go by it works for them and for me.
I finally decided to do something about this and ordered the Virmax Adonis pack. The next time I had sex felt like had a visibly stronger, stiffer and fuller erection. But what I liked most is I lasted for minutes rather than seconds, no more finishing sex in 40 seconds this boosted my confidence massively and, as result. I am definitely going to use Adonis pack combination.
I combined it with Virmax Adonis pack, this has really helped me maintain my erections, energy levels and duration of our love making. I've been very happy with the results. I can tell you that any guy that wants to be good in bed and wants to last longer needs to know about this stuff. I am happy just being able to please my girlfriend to the full and never expected I would be this good in bed.
When I found the Virmax Stop, it was like a godsend. The VirmaxX39 gives me the confidence that no matter when the mood strikes, I'll be ready to go. The Virmax Stop allows me to do my thing without worrying that
it's going to suddenly end abruptly. And the Virmax American Ginseng helped me get my libido back where I need the energy. I can keep up half an hour in bed now. Cheers!
I like d the 45 days money back guarantee and order the test packet, for a good measure I took suggested five capsules to see and guess what I lasted six minutes and yes six minutes I have to say I love Virmax Stop it is great because it's all natural, has no side effects, and really works.
I strongly urge other guys out there, if they are in same situation as me and not happy with premature ejaculation, give yourself a chance and try Virmax Stop because it really works.
At first my expectations were low, to say the least but thought what the heck 45 days money back guarantee, what do I have to lose. However, to my surprise VirmaxX39 together with Virmax Stop worked like magic. My erections quickly become strong and hard again and I had no problem lasting 20 minutes. What's more, when my wife and I want to make love I now always get rock hard erections, which wasn't the case before.
Thank you so much."

caramelised shallots and pan fried mushrooms - with just enough custard to hold the filling together - baked in a flaky pie base and served with a sprinkling of fresh thyme
This makes one 9 inch tart.
Pie Crust
Roll the chilled pie dough to a thickness of approximately 0.35cm. Transfer the dough to a 9 inch tart pan, gently easing it into the pan and pressing the sides down to ensure that the dough adheres to the pan. Trim the edges with a knife. Refrigerate for at least half an hour before baking.
Caramelised Shallots and Mushroom Filling (adapted from Tartine)
Caramelise 4 finely sliced shallots over a medium high flame with 45g of butter. Add 450g of sliced mushrooms (use any fresh mushroom you can find; I used a mixture of portobello and button mushroom) and pan fry until the mushrooms exude a little water and becomes very moist; the pan should be fairly dry at this point in time. Season liberally with salt and pepper. Using the juice of half a lemon, get all the yummy caramelised bits off the bottom of the pan. Let it stand till it is no longer hot to the touch.
Whisk 3 egg yolks with 50g of sour cream until completely lump free. Gently whisk 190g of heavy cream and a little freshly grated nutmeg to the egg yolk mixture. Add the cooled mushrooms to this egg yolk mixture. Reserve a little egg white for later use.
Instructions from the book: Blind bake the pie crust in a 190 degree celscius oven for about 20 minutes. Remove the parchment paper and apply a thin coating of the reserved egg whites to the pie shell. Continue baking for a few more minutes until the crust looks dry with no opaque area. I've tried the instructions from the book but thought that the crust ended up a little too limp and soggy.
To get the dark brown crust in my pictures, after removing the parchment paper, continue baking the crust for another 20-30 minutes. You might need to cover the sides with aluminium foil (or a slightly bigger, inverted tart pan) to prevent them from overbrowning.
Lower the oven to 180 degree celscius. Pour the custard with the mushroom into the pan and bake for another 20 minutes. It is done when the middle of the tart jiggles a little when you shake the pan; the middle of the tart should reach an internal temperature of at least 160 degrees fahrenheit. The tart will continue to solidify on standing. Sprinkle a little thyme before serving.
1. As with all pastry doughs, the dough should be kept cold at all time. If possible, work in a cool environment. If necessary, stick the dough into the freezer to let the butter solidify before proceeding with the recipe (always err on the side of being too careful).
2. Chill the pie crust dough as specified; chilling it allows the gluten to relax which minimises shrinkage during baking.
3. Try to use materials that are heavier e.g. ceramic pie weights or coins when blind baking. Ensure that the you use enough of it to fill the tart tin all the way to the top. This will prevent the sides from slumping/shrinking during baking.

Courtesy The Casbah
There are few musicians in San Diego that represent the legacy of rock and roll more than John Reis. The man also known as "Swami" has been involved in many projects throughout the years, including Drive Like Jehu and Rocket From the Crypt. So it was no surprise that, when his band Hot Snakes announced some local reunion shows, they sold out quite quickly. Tuesday night's Casbah tickets are highly coveted and you might have a hard time finding any for sale, but for the 250 fans that will be present, it's sure to be one of those shows that stays in local lore for a while to come. If you don't have tickets, fret not, there are other shows that might tickle your Tuesday, including Gold Fields at the Soda Bar, Tyga bringing some hip-hop to House of Blues, and the Knux performing at the Griffin.

Terry & Julie Clark of Bear's Mill are Darke County Visitors Bureau's 2013 Tourism Citizens of the YearJuly 8, 2013
The Darke County Visitors Bureau Tourism Citizen of the Year award was presented to Julie and Terry Clark. Tourism Board Member and Director of Darke County Park District, Roger Van Frank, presented the award.
The Clarks own Historic Bear's Mill, having purchased it in 1978 shortly after it had been placed on the National Register of Historic Places. Built in 1848, Bears Mill is the oldest water-powered mill still operating in Ohio. Thousands of visitors a year explore the 4-story building. It is surrounded by walking trails and provides its own power through a water-powered generator.
Julie Clark is a talented pottery artist while Terry is a retired truck driver. Operation of the mill was turned over to a 501c3 group, Friends of Bears Mill, in 1999.

The return of Mike Shanahan got me looking through the Broncos' annals last week. My search stumbled upon the discovery that the most egregious errors in the franchise's 54-year history were made by Broncos coaches who recorded tackle stats during the Orange Crush years.
Red Miller's staff recorded at least 30 percent more unassisted tackles than plays in which there could be a tackle.
Let's look at 1978, the first year of the 16-game schedule. Broncos opponents ran 1,106 total plays. Subtract their 21 touchdowns — you can't get credit for a tackle on a touchdown, can you? — 17 field goals and 192 incompletions and you get 786 tackle-eligible plays. Yet, the Broncos wound up with 1,052 unassisted tackles. To which one-percenter tax accountants might say: So?
Denver Broncos
- View slide show of Broncos-Chiefs game Dec.1.
- View more Broncos photos.
- Find analysis, notes and buzz on First-and-Orange Broncos blog.
- Contribute to The Bronco Bus and fan-forum discussion.
- Ask Mike Klis about the team or NFL in the Broncos Mailbag.
- Evaluate the latest team numbers on the Broncos Stats Page.
- View 2013 Broncos schedule.
- Roam 2013 NFL schedule grid.
Even more laughable was the creative recording of unassisted tackles.
The shame is this may partially explain why Broncos middle linebacker Randy Gradishar hasn't received his rightful place in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
The famed 1977 Orange Crush team went 12-2 and reached the Super Bowl even though it didn't have a quarterback throw for 2,000 yards, a running back gain 500 yards or a receiver nab 40 catches.
The '77 Broncos succeeded because their defense only surrendered 18 TDs in 14 games.
And Gradishar was by far the best player on that Orange Crush defense. Yes, his 145 unassisted and 219 total tackles were inflated. But give him half those totals, along with his three interceptions and four fumble recoveries on the greatest defensive team in Broncos history, and you have a season within a career worthy of a bronze bust in Canton.
The Broncos corrected their tackle keeping in 2009, when media relations director Patrick Smyth began using numbers compiled by the league's official statisticians.
Even in Shanahan's coaching era from 1995-2008, the Broncos, and most other NFL teams, would get their tackle numbers from the film rooms of the secondary coach, the linebackers coach and the defensive line coach. And the final tackle stats would invariably add up funny.
Blog: 1st-&-Orange
The Denver Post's NFL reporters post analysis, notes and more on this blog focusing on the Broncos.
From the press box at Sports Authority Field at Mile High, Dave Einspar keeps the tackle stats now. Einspar is also the official scorekeeper and statistician of the Rockies, Nuggets and CU Buffs football team. In road games, the Broncos use the home team's statistician.
The tackle stats now seem accurate. In 2012, Denver's D had 723 tackle plays after touchdowns, field goals and incompletions were subtracted from total plays. And there were 621 unassisted tackles. Having 102 fewer unassisted tackles than tackle-eligible plays is good. Having 266 more unassisted tackles than tackle plays, as was the case in 1978, is mathematically impossible.
To 99 percent of us, anyway.

An 8-year-old boy drove a luxury car into the front porch of a Dorchester house Wednesday morning, causing an estimated $80,000 in damage, authorities said.
The boy backed a white BMW 328i from his family's driveway across the street, between two parked cars, and then slammed into the front porch of a house on Mascot Street about 8:22 a.m.
"The homeowner said he was inside his home playing online poker when he heard a loud crash,'' said Officer James Kenneally, a Boston police spokesman.

Press Your Luck 2010 Edition (Wii)
There was a stretch in my youth where I wanted so much to play the "big board" from the television game show "Press Your Luck" that I'd think about the show as hard as I could before I went to sleep, to improve my chances of dreaming that I was a contestant on "Press Your Luck." I didn't have Ubisoft's Press Your Luck 2010 Edition for the Nintendo Wii back then (just a rudimentary PC adaptation from GameTek), and I was probably better off as a result. The dreams were more fun.
You've won a generic trip! To somewhere! Apparently in an airplane of some sort!
I think about different things before I fall asleep these days (none of your business), but I was still charmed to learn that somebody was reviving this classic game show -- which ended its run more than 20 years ago -- on a modern console. The basic format: Players answer trivia questions to earn "spins" on a board of 18 flashing squares, which offer cash, prizes, and Whammies -- red cartoon devils who reset a player's total back to zero. Whoever makes it to the end of the game with the highest total is the winner. "Press Your Luck" seems like a prime candidate for translation to a console, by virtue of the fact that its game is so simple.
In fact, the simplicity of "Press Your Luck" makes it unusually challenging for a developer like Ludia to harness its mojo. Not all great game shows are built on great games, and on paper, "Press Your Luck" had a mediocre game. Its main round was essentially "Wheel of Fortune" minus Hangman. But man alive, it was fun to watch, because the TV production nailed all the details. Press Your Luck 2010 gets the rules of the game right, and the on-screen graphics resemble the set of the 1980s show. That's about the extent of its verisimilitude. If this were "Jeopardy!" that effort would probably be more than sufficient. For "Press Your Luck," it's not nearly enough.
This was a frantic show, a reckless expression of the id, regulated by host Peter Tomarken and the ever-present threat of the Whammy. Watching a good episode of "Press Your Luck" is like driving down the freeway in a car where you can barely reach the steering wheel. The lights flash, the contestants scream, the audience rends its garments, the board bloops, the scoreboard operators struggle to keep up, Tomarken narrates and calculates and speculates. And just when it feels like holy Lord this is sheer chaos with the dollars and trips and spins and cats and dogs and madness, the Whammy appears. The car comes to a stop. Everybody takes a breath. And the board starts up again for another go.
I don't know how you recreate that head-swimming experience in a videogame, and neither do the makers of Press Your Luck 2010. The game proceeds in an orderly fashion, as I suppose it must. The board never starts up unless someone pushes a button telling it to do so. The canned crowd noise is always respectful. The host says "Three thousand dollars!" the same way every single time; he never runs out of breath.
Even if it's impossible to completely capture the zest of "Press Your Luck," though, Press Your Luck 2010 could have come much closer. So many details are off the mark. Take the music: Instead of the "Press Your Luck" theme, this game features the interstitial music (originally created for Britain's Channel 4) on which the game show's music was based. It sounds kinda right, mostly wrong. The Q&A round is screwy, too. Buzzing in early to answer a question offers you a multiple-choice menu, whereas TV players had to volunteer an answer if they buzzed in. Sure, it might be a pain to build a text parser for players' typed-in responses, but that's how the game is played.
And then there's the board. How did they mess up the board so badly? One of the most important qualities of the big board on TV was its variety, particularly in the non-cash squares. The show built up a lore around oddball prizes like "home robots" and "flokati rugs." And in the second round, the prize spaces took on higher value and greater importance to the game because unlike cash, nobody knew what those squares were worth until they a player hit them. It changed the should-I-play-or-should-I-pass calculus.
"Press Your Luck" clearly needs the spice added by these little wrinkles, as Press Your Luck 2010 doesn't have any of them, and it's boring. Bad enough that the cash amounts on its board are all out of whack with the careful balance struck by the producers of the TV show, but to add insult to injury, only one type of prize is offered: a trip, to nowhere in particular, which is always worth $3,000. Boo. Worse yet, the chunky "boop-boop-boop" sound effect fades out after a couple seconds on each spin, a departure so egregious that it feels like a bug.
Nobody was ever this happy about a Whammy.
On a more ineffable level, Press Your Luck 2010 misses the analog-ness of its source material. The "Press Your Luck" board was a huge array of slide projectors. Watch the clip above and notice the way the squares fade in and out when they change. It's because they weren't video screens; they were slides lit with incandescent light bulbs. The squares on the Press Your Luck 2010 board blink seamlessly, coldly, just like you'd expect a computer to do. This slight visual change makes a huge difference in terms of tactility. It's the gulf between clicking your mouse to select an icon and pounding a button to bring a hulking machine to a sudden halt. I want the machine.
Press Your Luck 2010 does get one thing right, and that's the Whammies. In what was surely the most memorable gimmick of the original show, a short animation would play whenever a player stopped on a Whammy. The Whammies starred in dozens of vignettes over the show's three seasons, and the developers at Ludia not only paid tribute to those originals but added a bunch of their own that fit the Wile E. Coyote-esque feel perfectly.
The fact that the Whammy animations are so spot-on suggests that Ludia designed the game for people whose only memories of "Press Your Luck" are vague recollections of that one show where they yelled "No Whammies! No Whammies!" But the Whammies are the comic relief; they don't work unless you also have some drama, which Press Your Luck 2010 doesn't. And so the dreams of a childhood game-show nerd grow ever more distant.
This review is based on a retail copy of the Nintendo Wii game provided by the publisher.

The Real Deal on Concussions
A new study published by the Official Journal of the American Academy of Pediatrics says that repeat concussions can result in decreased neurocognitive functioning, increased symptomatology, and, at times, catastrophic outcomes.
Last week, we reported on a study that had been released from the Center for the Study of Traumatic Encephalopathy (CSTE), at the Boston University School of Medicine, stating that repeated concussions can cause brain damage. That brain damage, known as chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), was detected in the brain tissue of former NFL players who died young -- some as early as their 30s or 40s. Researchers at the CSTE concluded former NFL player Tom McHale, who died in 2008 at the age of 45, as well as an 18-year-old athlete (the youngest case to date) who suffered multiple concussions, suffered from this brain damage as a result of their injuries.
But according to Gwenn Schurgin O'Keeffe, MD, FAAP, CEO and Editor-In-Chief of Pediatrics Now, the standard of care for concussions in kids is actually different from what was represented based on a January 2009 study on youth sports concussions.
The new 2009 study drives the point home that we need to do more than keep kids out of sports until the symptoms clear, which is how pediatricians used to manage concussions in the office, and how some still do in many parts of the country. The authors give a nice review of the landscape and past studies, concussion treatment theories and the many concussion grading systems and conclude that the only safe way to manage kids is a "stepwise return to play." This is borrowed form the professional sports model and has been done in elite youth sports for a while.
The reason a step wise return to play is so important is that it gives us time to truly evaluate a player and make sure that the increased activity is not to much on the healing brain. This builds in a safe buffer so when the player gets to the "game play" stage, we can be as sure as we can that the brain has healed from the original impact. Additionally, the report suggests we may have to consider neuropsychiatric testing and refer to neurologists much more than we are already doing, even for mild concussions. We used to think that if a child didn't lose consciousness we were good. Not so. Finally, and this we've known for a few years, the report emphasizes that the length of time benched is depended on how many prior concussions there have been in a child's past.
Also, it's well known in pediatrics that cheerleading is not a benign sport and is considered a "contact" sport due to the high injury rate of fractures and even head trauma. It turns out that cheerleaders have a 3.5% chance of getting a concussion and a very, very high likelihood of breaking a bone. Some of the worst dislocations and lacerations have been in cheerleaders.
|From Burly to Girly
|Crushes: Then and Now
Their is no "healed" concussion truama is cumulative. Feeling better maybe, now we know the CTE is not going away no matter what age. With all the attention on the longterm affects of concussion more focus should be on prevention. The blow to the jaw, boxers "Glass Jaw", the work of a local Tufts Temporal Mandibular Specialist, must be recognized when considering this type of concussion. Why do some athletes become "prone" to recurrence. A diagnosable marker in "prone" N.E. Patriot Players and random sampling of South Shore High school athletes have shown in three peer reviewed papers, to have a drastic reduction in recurrence in concussion from blows to the jaw. A Braintree soldier on his way to remove IED from the roads of Iraq has had this marker, a dime sized cartilage disc within the TMJ, corrected and has been fitted with the same orthotic retainer like mouth guard used by our local football team. Yet, the rest of his platoon will not be protected by this ADA approved oral protection, because the NFL and local institutions have not considered this procedure as real science. One peer reviewed paper stated, 30 kids had 50 concussions, when corrected and fitted, the same group had only three in the group. Another reads, 12 N.E. Patriot players with multiple concussions, one reports four, after fitting none reported. Dementia Pugilistica or CTP related brain disease is thought to be a result of repeated jaw blows. One player in the B.U. study who wore this device and has no reported CPT, it was stated on WEEI, "I don't have those white spots on my brain", another CPT suffer repeatedly comments, one on CNN "I got kicked in the chin". This marker within the jaw joint may be the mechanism that triggers the point of origin for this type of concussion. Blows to the spinal cord and crown of the head, are a different type of trauma. This
"superior" method of constructing a biomechnic correction is clearly a better way of addressing concussion with a multidisciplinary approach to concussion awareness. Waiting for a child to have a concussion, is foolish, any known means of prevention must be considered. With a history of use within the NFL for over two decades, now being reviewed by the NHL medical committee and a subject of controversy with the commissioner of the NFL. More attention must be put on this device now thought to be one way of reducing MTBI in our troops. www.mahercor.com

In another case that proves honesty is the best policy, a court rules that an employee may not sue his employer for a violation of the Family Medical Leave Act because he lied about his condition. The employee, who was suffering from bipolar disorder, took time off, claiming to be ill with prostate cancer. After the deception was revealed, the employee was fired. The appellate court noted that the employee's leave would have been covered under the act had he told the truth.

Wasting Away is the recently released EP from Bristol hardcore band Failure To Follow. Over just nine months the band have made a name for themselves sharing the stage with the likes of Trash Talk, Bury Tomorrow, Hang The Bastard and Polar and secured themselves an endorsement from RT Custom Drums so it's safe to say that we expected big things from them.
The first track B.C.H.C is an instrumental intro and Failure To Follow definitely start as they mean to go on the track crashing in with a heavy brutal punk-tinged riff. The Burn then picks up where it left off introducing raw screamed vocals brimming with passion and contrasting their heavy riffs with melodic choruses.No Vision kicks in and we are again met with a similar format of fast punky riffs split up by the occasional melodic moment. Theres no denying that Failure To Follow have talent but without any variation their straight – up hardcore style could start to be becoming a bit unrelenting. The next track No Unity follows in the same fashion although the track can definitely be praised for the quieting down in the choruses to put the vocals more in the spotlight.
The fifth track Strike Back opens with a catchy riff andit's where the EP starts to pick up again. Here the band begin to make more of the melodic elements that they mix amongst the heavier hardcore riffs and if definitely works in their favour. They end on a high point with the last track Wasting Away featuring a well executed melodic opening and by far the catchiest chorus of the EP.
Overall there's plenty of evidence here to suggest that Failure To Follow are worth a listen. Their very well executed punk-tinged melodic hardcore will definitely take them places. Remember you can download their full EP for FREE via ITG Records HERE

About the MMRF
The MMRF was founded in 1998 as a 501(c)3 non-profit organization by twin sisters Karen Andrews and Kathy Giusti, soon after Kathy was diagnosed with multiple myeloma, an incurable blood cancer that originates in plasma cells. The mission of the MMRF is to relentlessly pursue innovative means that accelerate the development of next-generation multiple myeloma treatments to extend the lives of patients and lead to a cure.
The MMRF has facilitated unprecedented accomplishments including helping to bring four new drugs to market that are now standard therapies for patients with multiple myeloma and being used or explored as treatments for more than 30 other cancers. In 2011, TIME Magazine named Kathy Giusti as one of the world's 100 most influential people.
As exceptional stewards of its donors' investments, the MMRF consistently surpasses its peers in fiscal responsibility and an outstanding 90% of total budget goes directly towards research and related programming.
