Soy-Roasted Salmon with Cucumbers
Notes: Toasted dried sea palm fronds - also called sea crunchies - are the leaves, or blades, of the sea palm, an ocean vegetable unique to Northern California, Oregon, and points farther north. The ribbed, noodlelike fronds turn crunchy-chewy when toasted. You can buy them in some natural-food stores and from Rising Tide Sea Vegetables (www.loveseaweed.com or 707/964-5663). Or you can substitute California nori: bake it in a 300° oven just until very crisp and slightly browned, 4 to 5 minutes; crumble onto salmon. The other optional ingredients - sake, mirin (sweet sake), onion or radish sprouts, and toasted sesame seeds - can be found in many well-stocked supermarkets and in Japanese grocery stores. If toasted sesame seeds aren't available, stir raw ones in a frying pan over medium heat until golden, about 5 minutes.

Adama, understandably, says, "What?" Apollo explains about the writing. Everyone in CIC cheers and applauds and hugs, which is a little much for me. I mean, I know, they've been looking for two days, blah blah, but...I prefer the way the Prez just smiles happily. Well, and the way Tigh looks like he just heard a dog whistle. Adama shouts to be heard over the noise: "Bring it in to the bay! If it does anything, take it out!" Apollo says he will, but gigglingly adds, "It's got to be her. This thing is flying with some serious attitude." Adama actually allows himself to smile enough to display a few teeth before he gets hold of himself.
The Raider whooshes around Apollo, and then wobbles side to side, and Apollo wobbles back. Which is apparently something from the original show that I don't care about, but it was cute without my knowing that.
The crew is moving the Raider onto the deck. Tyrol strolls past it, saying, "Now your ass belongs to me." I wonder what he'd have said if she'd captured a base. Oh come on, it was right there. Starbuck is on a stretcher nearby, and we can see some deep bruising around her knee. She asks Apollo if he likes her new toy. Apollo says, "Boy, when you take a souvenir, you don't screw around." He helps the med team spread a blanket over her, and then recoils upon noticing that she smells "like a latrine." Starbuck chuckles, "You wanna give me a bath?" and is promptly wheeled away by the med crew, who are probably rolling their eyes.
Adama enters sickbay, where Starbuck is resting with her leg wrapped in, like, a reflective car shade. Adama asks how she is, and Starbuck quietly says she's been worse. She asks how her knee is, and Adama reports, "Doc says it's too early to tell, but knowing you, you'll be fine." He pauses for a minute, and strokes her head. Aw! Adama finally just says that she did good, and leans down and kisses her forehead. Starbuck loses it for second and starts crying, and then uncrumples her face as Adama stands up again. Sniff. I like stoic types. He asks if she needs anything, and Starbuck admits that she'd like a cigar. Adama pulls a cigar out of his pocket, and Starbuck giggles. He says, "It's my last one, so enjoy." Starbuck thanks him. He squeezes her hand, tells her to get some rest, and leaves.
Next time: The Prez announces that there may be Cylons among them. You're next!

Freshies: DEANO
Austin, TX-based musician DEANO dropped his debut album "Instant Lovers" this week. Showcasing his songwriting and drummer skills, the Music Education major from Rhode Island brings an array tracks on his first album. He's got a natural jazzy-bluegrass thing going for him that def reps the music scene in Austin. Deano brings home the Texas love featuring other Austin favorites on his album, such as 2012 Austin Music Award Winners for Best New Band, The Wheeler Brothers.
Currently Obsessed With: Trails and Ways
Gah, this band has such a fresh vibe. The indie quartet from Oakland has been making waves in the last year. In 2012 they were one of the Most Blogged About Artists on HypeMachine, gaining popularity for their remixes of songs such as M83's Midnight City and Animal by Miike Snow. Although their remixes are awesome in their own right, it's the bands singles such as Nunca, Tereza, and Border Crosser that give you a real feel for what makes their sound so unique. Think indie-samba beats with airy vocals that make for a perfect drive down the PCH during sunset. They've yet to release a debut album, but you can check out many of their singles on spotify. We can't wait to hear what they have coming out next.
Watch Out For: The Wheeler Brothers
Following 2011's southern home-grown sounding "Portraits", the five-piece and five time Austin Music Award winners, The Wheeler Brothers, are gearing up to release their second album "Gold Boots Glitter" next month. The Austin-based band has never played a hometown gig that hasn't sold out, and once you give them a listen you'll be sure to understand why. Keep an ear open for these guys in 2013 as their music is sure to fill your ears, heart, and soul with feel good vibes.
Video of the Week: Wale Ft. Chinx Drugz & Fatz - Let A N***a Know
Uhhhhhhh nuh nah nuh naaaahhhhh. Skullcandy artist Wale pops off with this single Let A "N***a know ft Chinx Drugz & Fatz. In typical rap video fashion Wale and crew rock the New York street scene accompanied by hoodie-clad entourages, ridiculous cars, and some intensely oversized jewelry. What's rad about this is Wale somehow reinvented the often cliche vibe of these videos by bringing a very "in-the-now" feel that other rappers can only attempt. Turn your bass up, lean back, and get into it.
Check out more of Wale's music here.

Growing is a drone music/ambient music/noise music band formed in Olympia, Washington, and currently based in Brooklyn, New York. The group was founded in 2001 by Kevin Doria (electric bass guitar), Joe Denardo (electric guitar), and Zack Carlson (drums). Carlson left following their first album, and the band continued as a duo until 2009, when they recruited Sadie Laska (samplers, microphone) to form a new trio. The group's music has gradually progressed from slow, instrumental drone pieces through works in noise and ambient music toward more propulsive, rhythm driven music. Their live shows are consistently known for being very loud, playing straight through their set without breaks or banter between songs.
Formed 2001.

My Picky Toddler Won't Try Anything New!
What's the most effective way to get a VERY picky toddler to try a new food? -- Amy
Haylie Pomroy: There are three little tricks that I like to have my clients use:
1. I have a lot of my clients try new fruits and veggies in a frozen form.
I know this sounds kind of funny, but organic fruits and veggies don't have as much instant impact on the taste buds. Things like organic peas or blueberries can make their way down to the belly before their flavor comes through in the mouth. Frozen string beans, carrots, strawberries can be interesting to a toddler. I would get my little ones to eat frozen sweet potato spears long before I could ever get them to stomach sweet potato baby food in a jar. A little trick, but it can work very well.
2. Do a one week sugar sweep.
Although we try to eat really great foods at home, there are times when our busy hectic schedules allow for more processed and packaged foods to sneak in. In my household, we regularly do one week sugar sweeps. This is where we only eat real foods for one week. Things like fruits and veggies, organic meats and dairy, whole and sprouted grains, etc. My kids are old enough to look at packaging of things like peanut butter and apple sauce and see what brands do not have any sugar added. This seems to cleanse the palate and open the kids up to more variety and healthier foods. It is a great one for Mom as well. Really watch those baby foods. Many of our toddlers become picky eaters because they are being fed a ton of added refined sugar per day in some of their foods. This can make for a very picky palate.
3. Consider a children's-based probiotic.
These are the good gut bugs that are taken in supplement form. These can enhance digestion, can reduce inflammation in the gut, and encourage the appetite for healthy foods. This trick has brought many clients with picky toddlers huge success.
I do have a motto in my house: I tell my kids that I am perfectly okay with them not liking something. They have to try as many bites as they are old before they can decide that, though.
One note -- very picky eaters might be suffering from food allergies. If you suspect this is the case, see your doctor.

Ever tasted baby food from a jar? Pretty bland stuff…now taste the "same" stuff that is fresh…it might be jarring (bad pun I know) to a palate that has been weaned onto the bland stuff as well.
Try, try, try again…granted, that's what we had to do with carrots (but he'll chow down on peas, green beans, asparagus, and other astringent tasting veggies), which I never would have expected, but now he loves them.
I do love the idea of the sugar sweep.

From Joe. My. God.
Governor Rick Perry must like the taste of shoe because he's constantly putting his foot in his mouth. This time with a remarkably oversimplified anecdote about Sam Houston's reluctance to leave the Union over slavery.
In Rick's mind, this is the same kind of inspired leadership needed by the Boy Scouts. He calls on the discriminatory organization to resist the forces of "flavor of the month pop culture" that would undermine boyhood, manhood, and 'Mericanhood.
Side note: Isn't Perry pro-secession?
I really don't have anything else to say about this. Or I do, but I would rather not pull out any more of my hair. Video after the jump.

Origins. Traditions. Beginnings. Call it what you will; its the nexus of people and the objects they make. Its that moment when artists are face to face with the yin and yang of their creation, and come to terms with abiding by the rules. Or breaking them.
The American craft tradition didnt just appear one day, fully-formed and mature. Whatever their materials no matter how cutting edge every artist can trace her or his work to craft techniques that had their beginnings hundreds, even thousands, of years ago. When they are manifested and revealed to us theyre sometimes easy to see. Sometimes they require us to make the effort. But each artist is involved in taking and passing these techniques to others in a continuum of creativity.
Since the beginning of recorded time, human beings have made objects. Most, such as tools, cooking utensils, blankets and clothing, served a simple, utilitarian function. If they performed well, appearance was unimportant. But even here, we see glimpses of artistry, when the makers wanted needed to put a personal imprint on the objects they made.
Consider the simplest of tools a hand axe. And lets consider it even further, as a tool that takes abuse in its everyday usage, chopping wood, cutting up prey, and all-around whacking when it was multi-functional, the Swiss Army knife of its day. If thats all it was, then wed have little interest in it as anything other than an example of form and function working, if you will, hand-in-hand.
Display case filled with pairs of moccasins at Jeri Ah-Be-Hill's Fort Washakie Trading Post
But at some point in time, the maker wanted to identify his work as uniquely his. And rather than scribe his name, we see examples with embedded, ornamental fossil shells.
Or take beaded jewelry. Once deployed solely in trade and commerce, beads became a personal representation of the power or status of the wearer. The number of beads, their size, and their rarity, all combined to cast their wearer with respect, admiration and appeal.
These observations can be applied to every culture, every society, in every part of the world. For, as tradition and convention established and standardized the shape, size, and function of these objects over time, more personal imprints were incorporated into their production. Traditions, tools, and techniques have been the collection of constants across the sea of time.
Jim Bassler, Spotty, 2008, Ray Carofano photo
Craft also spans a geographic ocean. When the late Philip Simmons began his apprenticeship in blacksmithing in Charleston, South Carolina, he didnt realize he would be sustaining a heritage of ironworking that had its roots in beads formed from meteors in Egypt over five millennia ago and spread quickly to Africas west coast. (Learn more about African-American Ironwork.) At thirteen, he was simply enthralled by the idea of hammers hammering and sparks flying. It was, he said, where the action was.
Philip Simmons, Egret Gate
And from that moment in 1925 he joined a rich heritage of Low Country craft artists. Here, as the historian John Michael Vlach has noted, there are over a thousand basketmakers, from the very old to the very young. The total number of black quilters will never be known: 100,000? Ridiculously low. Plus whittlers, metalworkers, and carpenters. Their inherited skills provided black Americans with cultural stamina and endurance.
As Charleston and America moved on from horses and carriages, so did Mr. Simmonss output, turning to decorative ironwork. Incorporating local imagery with a uniquely black creativity the aesthetic of innovation and improvisation, much as we see in jazz or dance, his gates reflected or, more accurately, determined the spirit of a community. Today, his vision and skills have been passed on to succeeding generations. Truly, Charleston became what Mr. Simmons imagined it to be.

FOREIGN GOVERNMENTS are likely to increase pressure on the United States to loosen restrictions against foreign airlines doing business here.
The reason is money. Morten S. Beyer, chairman and president of the Avmark Inc. aviation management service, said last week during an industry conference that U.S. carriers have increased their share of the international market since 1978 by 8 percent.Deregulation of the U.S. airline industry resulted in a rash of mergers and the creation of megacarriers with extensive domestic networks. As those carriers expand into international markets - and they are doing so more and more - they present hefty competition to foreign carriers whose operations in the United States usually are limited to a handful of cities, Mr. Beyer said.
Foreign carriers are prohibited from offering domestic service in the United States by U.S. cabotage laws. The airline industry will not let go of those laws without a fight, but calls for their elimination are coming from prominent quarters. Alfred Kahn, former chairman of the Civil Aeronautics Board and architect of deregulation, is among those recommending loosening restrictions against foreign airlines.
PLANS ARE IN MOTION for U.S. coal exporters to hold coal receptions at the U.S. embassies in six to eight foreign countries next year. Rep. Hal Rogers, R-Ky., can take credit for arranging formal authorization for the receptions in the fiscal year 1987 appropriations measure providing funds for Commerce and State department operations. The measure was madepart of Congress' omnibus spending bill.
Hosting the receptions in the embassies is designed to show the U.S. government's interest in encouraging coal sales and will help U.S. exporters make contacts with foreign buyers, a Rogers aide said. The costs of audio- visual presentations, brochures and other expenses for the receptions will be borne by the coal industry. The first reception is expected to be held in January.
THOUGH CONRAIL SURVIVED the legislative process as an independent carrier, it still could be acquired by another railroad once the federal government's holdings of its stock hits the public market.
Some congressmen, most notably Rep. William Eckart, D-Ohio, fear this could pave the way for Norfolk Southern Corp. to make another bid for the carrier since the law permits Conrail to be acquired if the transaction receives Interstate Commerce Commission approval.
The NS takeover bid is a possibility though several analysts think Western lines might be more interested in eventually acquiring the carrier.
Three House conference members refused to sign the final legislation permitting Conrail to be sold. They were Reps. Eckart, James Florio, D-N.J., who heads the subcommittee that considered the sale and Edward Madigan, R-Ill. All three apparently were unhappy with a decision to drop provisions protecting employees in acquisitions of short-line railroads.
NOW THAT THE U.S. COMMERCE DEPARTMENT issued a preliminary ruling that Canada is subsidizing its lumber exports at a rate of 15 percent, the big question is: Will Canada continue bilateral negotiations aimed at settling with U.S. timber producers?
Pat Carney, Canadian international trade minister, plans to meet this week with representatives of the Canadian timber industry, labor and provincial governments to discuss what to do next.
Ms. Carney has told the Canadian parliament that negotiations between her country and the United States for a freer trade zone are still on. But she gave no indication about whether the lumber talks will continue.
DON'T LOOK FOR any formal notice that the Defense Department has withdrawn its proposal to open partially to foreign vessels the carriage of U.S. military cargoes now the exclusive preserve of U.S.-flag operators.
Junking that proposal was part of the price the Reagan administration paid to settle the dispute with Iceland over which country's ships were to haul DOD cargoes between here and Iceland.
While most government agencies not only formally publish proposed rule changes, but also formally withdraw them, Defense doesn't give notice when it scraps a proposal.
The Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. has taken possession of many bad loans and a lot of unusual collateral as it picks up the pieces of collapsed farm and energy banks in the Southwest.
William Seidman, FDIC chairman, told reporters last week that the agency is willing to sell such new-found assets as a large stock of porno films, 15 percent of the nation's oil rigs, several tankers and a few race horses. Since the FDIC is usually compelled to close banks rather than pump in aid to keep them going, it is being sued frequently and is facing some 27,000 active lawsuits. FDIC already is the largest government employer of outside counsel right now and Mr. Seidman says he has heard from every old law school friend he ever had. No need to update his Christmas list this year.
GOING FOR THE GOLD: There is a new Olympic endorsement to go along with the official beer, blue jeans and so on - a U.S. Olympic team health insurance policy.
Blue Cross and Blue Shield announced that it is the official vendor of health insurance to team members for both the winter and summer games. The program of protection against illness and injuries makes Blue Cross and Blue Shield Association and its 79 member plans an official sponsor of the U.S. Olympic team.
THE CONGRESIONAL ADJOURNMENT RUSH brought with it the usual fever. This year House members, who had already missed their initial adjournment target date of Oct. 3, were sporting campaign buttons with the legend, Free the 99th Congress, in the closing days of the session.
FOREIGN GOVERNMENTS are likely to increase pressure on the United States to loosen restrictions against foreign airlines doing business here.

And she admits there were chapters her son struggled with, stating, "I know reading the book was really hard for him. I know a few times he just had a really tough time getting through some of the chapters and I can't blame him."

"In fact, fellow veterans raised concerns about the article, says Mike Brittingham, a former Marine who is studying air traffic service at the college. Brittingham says campus veterans worried that Whittington's word's would portray all of them in a negative light.posted by ericb at 8:58 AM on November 24, 2010
'I think the main point is that he does not express how most veterans feel,' Brittingham says. 'Being in the military is certainly not about going out and being addicted to killing people.'
Brittingham says he contacted campus safety officers and the president's office with concerns about the article and says the college acted properly in barring Whittington from campus. He adds that the college does an excellent job of working with veterans to process their benefits."
But Whittington, 24, says that he has his violent impulses under control with the help of counseling and medication and that the college is unfairly keeping him from moving forward with his lifeHe's already getting help.
He found the insurgents cowardly, prone to firing a few shots and then scurrying into the shadows.
Terrorists will have nowhere to hide because there are hundreds of thousands of soldiers like me who feel like me and want their revenge as well.

She's the face of the rebellion. They'll follow her.
Fire burns brighter in the darkness
I loved you first...
New Mockingjay stills!
"My body, my choice" only makes sense when someone else's life isn't at stake.
Fun fact: If my younger sister was in a car accident and desperately needed a blood transfusion to live, and I was the only person on Earth who could donate blood to save her, and even though donating blood is a relatively easy, safe, and quick procedure no one can force me to give blood. Yes, even to save the life of a fully grown person, it would be ILLEGAL to FORCE me to donate blood if I didn't want to.
See, we have this concept called "bodily autonomy." It's this….cultural notion that a person's control over their own body is above all important and must not be infringed upon.
Like, we can't even take LIFE SAVING organs from CORPSES unless the person whose corpse it is gave consent before their death. Even corpses get bodily autonomy.
To tell people that they MUST sacrifice their bodily autonomy for 9 months against their will in an incredibly expensive, invasive, difficult process to save what YOU view as another human life (a debatable claim in the early stages of pregnancy when the VAST majority of abortions are performed) is desperately unethical. You can't even ask people to sacrifice bodily autonomy to give up organs they aren't using anymore after they have died.
You're asking people who can become pregnant to accept less bodily autonomy than we grant to dead bodies.
reblogging for commentary
But, assuming the mother wasn't raped, the choice to HAVE a baby and risk sacrificing their "bodily autonomy" is a choice that the mother made. YOu don't have to have sex with someone. Cases of rape aside, it isn't ethical to say abortion is justified. The unborn baby has rights, too.
First point: Bodily autonomy can be preserved, even if another life is dependent on it. See again the example about the blood donation.
And here's another point: When you say that "rape is the exception" you betray something FUNDAMENTALLY BROKEN about your own argument.
Because a fetus produced from sexual assault is biologically NO DIFFERENT than a fetus produced from consensual sex. No difference at all.
If one is alive, so is the other. If one is a person, so is the other. If one has a soul, then so does the other. If one is a little blessing that happened for a reason and must be protected, then so is the other.
When you say that "Rape is the exception" what you betray is this: It isn't about a life. This isn't about the little soul sitting inside some person's womb, because if it was you wouldn't care about HOW it got there, only that it is a little life that needs protecting.
When you say "rape is the exception" what you say is this: You are treating pregnancy as a punishment. You are PUNISHING people who have had CONSENSUAL SEX but don't want to go through a pregnancy. People who DARED to have consensual sex without the goal of procreation in mind, and this is their "consequence."
And that is gross.
This has been added to since I last saw it, so reblogging again.
Busted wide open.
Pit bulls are not born mean or cruel or vicious. It's the humans that abuse and mistreat them that make them that way.

Princess Diana's dress
The thought of spending €280,000 on a single frock brings us out in a bit of a nervous sweat.
But that's exactly what one extravagant shopper did at an auction of dresses worn by Princess Diana, spending the incredible sum on the midnight-blue velvet gown that Di wore when she danced with John Travolta at the White House in 1985.
Surprisingly, the item sold for less than the estimated selling price (an incredible €350,000), but still - €280k is a pretty crazy amount to blow on just one dress.
So, in honour of Diana's money-making dresses, we've taken a (very envious) look at the most expensive frocks ever made in the gallery above.
Yesterday's collection of Princess Diana dresses fetched a grand total of almost €1,100,000 – pretty staggering, but nowhere near the total raised by another auction of Diana's dresses.
A collection of 14 frocks worn by the Princess – including the three pictured above – were snapped up by US business woman Maureen Dunkel in 1997 for €1.1 million. Maureen unfortunately went bankrupt three years later and the collection was re-sold at auction for just under €2.3 million.

Country cooking - Alumni Profiles
September 2008 Issue
Beth Bernard—a mother of three from Tifton—didn't think a homemade recipe book she made her sister two years ago would garner national media attention. But that's what can happen when your little sister is country music star Trisha Yearwood (M '86). "(The cookbook) started out as a binder my mom and I put together of recipes from our family and from people that we knew who had become like family," says Bernard (BSA '83, MS '89). "My daughter made a little cover for it. And by that time, Trisha had already moved (to Oklahoma with husband Garth Brooks). So she put the two states, Georgia and Oklahoma, on it and called it something like Georgia Cooking in an Oklahoma Kitchen." In April, Bernard, Yearwood and their mother, Gwen, released a "dressed-up" version of the original cookbook through Random House. It took them roughly a year and a half to compile the more than 120 recipes featured, but most of the foods …

By Wainwright Jeffers - bio | email ALBANY, GA (WALB) - Albany police are looking for 88-year-old Otha Butler who hasn't been since 8:30 Thursday morning.
"We're hoping and praying that we can find him before it gets dark," said Emma Quimbley
Quimbley and her sister Rosa Ward's hope of finding their elderly father before dark faded.
Butler dropped his son off near Hwy. 19 and Clark Avenue before heading to play golf at the Flint River Golf Course.
His daughters are asking for your help to find their father.
"He's our dad, and he has a mild case of dementia and that's a serious concern of ours," said Quimbley.
One concern is Butler may have gotten off his normal route; he exits at exit three which is Clark Ave. Before turning on Turner Field Road, it's a route he's driven for about 15 years.
"He goes the same route, and we've gone and looked that route over many times and nobody has seen him," said Rosa Ward.
One of his golf buddies called his family and said the Mitchell County man had not showed up at the course.
Police say he was driving a white 1998 Ford F-150, with a Mitchell County handicapped veterans tag DP72E5.
"We're asking the public to look out for him he's wearing a baseball cap, brown shoes, and khaki pants," said Ward.
Law enforcement officers were told to be on the lookout for Butler, we saw them near the golf course Thursday.
As the lookout continues the family hopes someone calls with good news soon.
Butler is 6'1" to 6'2" tall and weights 125 pounds.
Anyone who seen him or his truck should call 911 or Albany Police at (229) 431-3288.

The Oles totaled 753 strokes (+185) on the two-day tournament, 92 strokes behind winner Gustavus.
MIAC rival, St. Thomas, finished in a close second. Of the MIAC schools at the event, St. Olaf finished seventh, ahead of only Augsburg and Saint Mary's.
The Oles' top finisher was Lizzy Zahn '10, who placed 20th with a 178 total. Emily Segar '09 finished in a tie for 39th, while Britta Hendrickson '09 tied for 48th.
The Oles have homecoming weekend off to rest up for the MIAC Championship Oct. 6-8 in Coon Rapids, Minn.
"We go into the MIAC tournament just trying to do our best," said Zahn. "We're not really expecting anything other than doing the best we can. We all want to show what we can do because we haven't really yet."
Despite mediocre results thus far, Zahn maintains that the team has the potential to place well as a unit if all the individuals play up to their abilities.
"Everyone is perfectly capable of shooting in the 80s," Zahn said. "We just haven't all done it at the same time."

Hi Guys,
Long shot but we are having some major trouble with our Cisco wireless system at the moment we run two Cisco WLC526 controllers running 12 Cisco 521 aps we have 12 on controller 1 and controller 2 is for them to fall back on should there be any problems.
We have a problem where our clients cannot connect to the wireless system it tries to aqquire an address but appears to fail. At first I thought it may of been a DHCP issue but it appears that is not the case. I have been monitoring the wireless APS and how they behave it appears that they have all jumped on the same channel and power. The system is suppose to have Dynamic Channel Assignment so this should not be happening. I then manually changed the channels for the APS and we are now testing with just 2 aps quite near each other. It seems that the signal on both aps is fluctuating randomly going from -70 db to -95.
If anyone has any ideas on how we can resolve this I would really appreciate it.
Thanks in advance.

Our Goals
We want to build technology that will improve writing skills. To begin with, we're focusing most of our efforts on the United States, in grades 6-12. We're using state-of-the-art machine learning technology, and building a direct classroom platform, giving automated support to student writers, as well as making that technology open to other companies to empower the ed-tech industry at large to better support literacy in education. We have three primary objectives:
- Aid students in real-time with automated support during the writing process.
- Reduce the time and attention that teachers have to spend on assessment and grading, while improving their ability to understand their students.
- Give school administrators and institutions the information they need to support their own students and teachers.

Really nice salad. Sometimes I've changed up the cheese or the nuts. If you use a Mexican crumbling cheese instead of blue, this makes a great side with Mexican dishes such as posole or enchilladas since it's so light and fresh. Salad is also great with toasted pecans or hazelnuts.

This light and refreshing salad has the word classic in its title for a reason. This recipe is sure to stick around. "I first tasted this salad at a luncheon given by a friend of mine. I love the flavor combination of tart-sweet apples, crunchy walnuts, and pungent blue cheese." --CL Reader

Yes, Mad Man is good, but the finale is this week. The rest of the list are just starting their seasons and it's a bunch of garbage. Do the networks think no one watches television in the summer?

I hope the trend of short (like the length of British series) series is allowed to develop in America with the expectations for ratings being more realistic for the summer. Many great shows on major networks that find themselves canceled (or cancelled if your British) unrealistic demands for ratings when they should have been picked up for a short summer series on a cable network.
"Rizzoli & Isles" and "Rookie Blue" are two shows that I hope are allowed to help grow this idea. "Rookie Blue" had 13 episodes for season 1 and 2 along with the new season 3 having 12 episodes. "Rizzoli & Isles" had 10 episodes for Season 1 and 15 episodes for season 2. Season 3 will also have 15 episodes. I would like to see summer series/seasons have closer to 9 episodes with series/season finales in August making for a June-August summer shows period. I do not hold out much hope for "Saving Hope" lasting more than one season, but it could develop a summer time fan base.
Regardless of the time of year, I want more shows with shorter season giving more variety throughout the year. A show should reach it's 100th episode no sooner than the 6th season with most being during the 7th season rather than the typical being early in the 4th season. The quality of acting and writing would also increase on TV with more movie actors, actresses, and writers willing to do TV shows when they have shorter seasons.

Rookie Blue on Thursday is one of the best shows on so be sure to watch.

If you haven't seen "Rizzoli and Isles" and "Franklin and Bash", you're missing out on two well acted and very well written series. I have a "reminder" set in my phone for them tonight…and also for "Royal Pains" and "Necessary Roughness" tomorrow night. I also like the fact that IF I happen to miss one of the episodes, I can catch it over the weekend on the respective TNT and USA Networks.

KALAMAZOO (WKZO) -- Experts say that the best way to address autism is through behavior therapy...and some might be glad to know that Western Michigan University's psychology department trains students in just that field.
Doctor Wayne Fuqua is chair of the department, and says that because so many resources now exist for parents of autistic children, WMU students can head out into the field and get direct training with autism. They learn hands-on, with the supervision of a doctor, volunteer with an existing support program, or professor.
Fuqua also says that recent changes to Michigan law requiring autism treatment to be covered by health insurance mean that more WMU behavioral therapy students are staying in the region when they graduate.

Pursuit of Perfection Fails to Finish
In the end 18-0 was just not enough. 18-1 doesn't earn you a Championship when the loss comes in the last game. You have to be able to finish to claim the title of Superbowl Champions. I think it was Fox announcer Curt Menefee that I heard say, "The Patriots came in undefeated while the Giants came in undaunted." That just about sums it up. As many of you know, I was rooting for the Giants in this game while many of my other Cowboy friends wanted the Pats to finish their season undefeated and go down in history (while many Cowboy fans also couldn't have cared less). I really didn't think the Giants would accomplish this, but my hat is off to the G-Men. They had a job to do and did what no other team has been able to do this season.
The Giants defense was definitely the key in this game. The defense was able to put so much pressure on Tom Brady that the Pats were never able to get in rhythm and stay there. Brady was sacked 5 times and hit 9 other times while throwing the ball.
As Cowboy fans, why should we care? Well, here are my thoughts for what they're worth: The Giants defense pressured Brady just like it did Romo in our last game against the Giants. While many people have wanted to play the blame game and not give the Giants credit for the win over the Cowboys, I for one, will do so. Our loss to the Giants had nothing to do with Jessica Simpson, or Mexico, or assistant coaches being distracted. Jessica didn't play in the game. The game took place in Dallas, not Mexico. The coaches didn't drop the balls, botch the plays, or fail to protect Romo. Like T.O. said in his interview after the game: "We lost as a team."
Protection was something Brady would have loved to have had yesterday. The Giants defense just kept getting into the backfield and I'm sure that Brady was hearing footsteps coming up behind him on every play by the end of the game. I don't blame Brady for this loss and I don't blame Romo for ours. A quarterback is one man, while a win/loss is a team effort. The Giants outplayed the Patriots, and, much as it pains me to say it, they outplayed the Boys.
I do take some consolation in the fact that the Patriots will not be considered "The Greatest Team of All Time" now. They are just one of the other 31 teams who failed to finish.
One final thought for what it's worth: Our Cowboys played the Giants three times this season, winning two, but losing the one that counted. The Patriots played the Giants twice this season, winning one, but losing the one that counted. If you add up the score of the Giants v. Patriots games you come up with 8 quarters of football and a final cumulative score of 52-52. The Cowboys, on the other hand, played 12 quarters of football against the Giants and finished with a final cumulative score of Cowboys 93-Superbowl Champions 76. Now, I know that's not much consolation to my Cowboy friends out there but I find some satisfaction in it (not much, but some….). Should we have beaten the Giants at home and advanced further in the playoffs? Yes, we should have, but we didn't. Could we have beaten the Patriots in the Superbowl? Yes, I think we could have, but that question will have to remain unanswered.
To the Patriots, I say, we Cowboys know how you feel. It's tough to have so much promise and potential and fall short at the end. We know…..
To the Giants, who have not, and probably will not, get the respect they deserve from most, I tip my hat to you on a good season and the ability to finish well. Wear your crown proudly. You are Champions and I freely admit it.
However, keep your ears to the ground during the offseason. Down in Texas, horses are getting re-shoed and saddles are being polished. If you listen closely, you will begin to hear the thunder of distant hoof beats and the crack of whips. All too soon, you will see Stars on the horizon. It's not your fan club coming to pay homage. It's a cattle drive decked out in Silver and Blue coming to trample you and take your crown. So, enjoy this one Giants. We're thinking of you here in Texas. Can't wait to see you.

Great article!
Rich love your last paragraph even though it's fictional I closed my eye and visually can see it happening in Cowboyland (I'm a western movie buff). As for the New York Giants, I too hate them just as much as any Cowboys fan on this website, however as a sports fan, I tip my hat to them on their victory. I didn't have a problem rooting for them yesterday because I made numerous bets that they would win the Super Bowl, it appears that in my area I was the only one that was giving the Giants any chance of winning the dance and it paid off. The only regret that I have is that it should have been the Dallas Cowboys holding up the trophy in the front page of today's morning paper.
At the break of dawn the sounds of spurs jingling and the rustle of horses could be heard leaving Valley Ranch, at the edge of the street a lone hawk stood calmly feasting happily on a large lizard that apparently had not been quite as fast today.
"Damn this wind," the dreadlock rider known as the Barbarian huffed. "How can anyone ride in this?" His partner, known as Gunslinger just squinted and plodded ahead; such an obvious outburst didn't warrant a reply. "Where in the heck are we going?" asked the stranger known as the Player. In a Texas draw the lead rider of the band of desperadoes replied, "To the Meadowlands to face some Giants." Those that knew JJ knew that he wasn't a native Texan but had spent most of his adulthood living therefore and therefore the good folks of Texas had more or less adopted him as one of their own. By now the sun was settling in and at a distance the desperadoes looked like mere dots on the horizon as they headed east.
And for what it's worth
I totally agree!
Totally agree!! Luv the article it's great. I gotta tell you I was beyond happy to see the Patriots loose. I didn't want them to take the title of the greatest team ever! I don't mind Giants so I was happy to see them win. However like you said at the end, Cowboys are getting ready & we will make it happen next season!!!
although cowboy fan till the end i too was cheerin the giants good job tough luck patriots ha ha
I'm a DIE HARD COWBOY FAN since I was born. I'm 39 and stuck with them with 1-15 records to Super Bowls. I will ALWAYS bleed silver and blue, no matter what. You couldn't have said it any better than that, especially in the last paragraph. Go Cowboys!
I'm at a lose for words! I couldn't have put any other way. GREAT POST!!
Love your articles! Really like the last paragraph! I felt like I was watching a movie!
I couldn't find it in myself to cheer for the Giants. I felt like they didn't deserve to be there. Eli doesn't deserve the credit he's getting. His WR's do. They make him look good. The defense should be MVP of Super Bowl. All 11 men on the field for defense. I couldn't help but watch that game as if the Cowboys were playing the Patriots and I couldn't help but determine that we would have destroyed the Patriots. But that's all a fantasy. Looking forward to next season. Reigning NFC East Champs!
Next year will be our turn too raise the Lombardi trophy. And If I'm not mistaking the last time the giants won the Superbowl the Cowboys won it the next 2 years. I can't wait for the new season.
Too the Giants and everybody else look out The Boys are back.
Cowboys 4-life!!!

Arizona officials are targeting illegal mail-order and Internet cigarette sales that don't charge state taxes, saying lost revenue could be costing the state as much as $84 million a year.
"There have been studies done . . . that indicate the loss back in fiscal year 2003 was $12 million" for Arizona, said Dan Zemke, the state Department of Revenue's public information officer. "That was under the presumption that 2 percent of sales were not being subjected to tax. There have been a couple of studies that this 2 percent will increase, or has increased, to as much as 6 (percent) to 14 percent."
The governor's office has tripled the number of tobacco tax enforcement staff members to 10 to help "stem the tide of illegal sales," Zemke said.
In the fiscal year ending June 30, the state's $1.18-perpack tobacco tax generated more than $274 million. The revenue goes to health care, education and the General Fund.
"The Legislature chose to make this a serious issue," Zemke said.
Cigarette sales in Arizona have fallen in recent years, he said, and it is difficult to know what part can be attributed to illegal sales.
Arizona's initiative to stop illegal cigarette sales officially begins Wednesday, though Sandra Schwartz, the department's criminal and civil investigations administrator, said more than 57,000 illegal cigarettes were seized in the first half of August.
State law requires Internet and mail-order sellers to Arizona consumers to file monthly reports with the Department of Revenue that list buyer names, addresses and purchase amounts. Sellers also have to report how they verified their customers' ages. Fines can reach $5,000 or five times the price of the cigarettes purchased. Adults who buy illegal cigarettes face the same felony penalties, Zemke said. Minors would be charged with a petty offense.
Zemke conceded that the laws may be tough to enforce on out-of-state or out-ofcountry sellers.
"That's something the (Arizona Attorney General's Office) is going to figure out with us about what's going to be effective," he said.

The acidosis accompanying short-term maximal exercise has been quantified and the mechanisms contributing to its control examined. Maximal exercise lasting 30 s was performed on a constant-velocity cycle ergometer. In 3 subjects, acid-base changes were examined across the working quadriceps femoris muscle after arterial and femoral venous catheterisation (Part A). The acid-base changes across the inactive forearm muscle were examined in 6 subjects following arterial and deep forearm venous catheterisation. Gas exchange was measured breath-by-breath during exercise and recovery (Part B). Muscle biopsies were taken from the quadriceps femoris muscle in 6 subjects and analysed for intracellular strong ion changes using neutron activation analysis (Part C).
The intracellular acid load was due to both increased CO₂ production and strong anion production; the muscle [lactate] increased to 30 mmol/kg w.w. after 30 s exercise. The CO₂ and strong ion concentration contributed 25% and 75%, respectively, to the increase in intracellular [H⁺]. The weak acid concentration was assumed not to change during exercise and recovery. CO₂ and strong ions were removed from the intracellular fluid during recovery.
Initially CO₂ output from the muscle reduced the intracellular PCO₂; the femoral venous PCO₂ increased to 105 mm Hg. The increased CO₂ flux to the lungs increased the CO₂ elimination from the body; the CO₂ output increased to 3060 ml/min by the end of exercise. The lungs were effective in removing the excess CO₂ delivered to them as the arterial PCO₂ was less than resting levels throughout recovery. Elimination of excess CO₂ from muscle was complete by 3 min recovery.
Strong ion exchange occurred more slowly; lactate disappeared at a rate of 2 mmol/kg w.w./min. Immediately after exercise the intracellular-femoral venous [lactate] gradient was 40 mmol/l and favoured diffusion of lactate into the circulation. Approximately 55-60% of the lactate diffused from the muscle, the remaining lactate was oxidised or converted to glycogen. Lactate was taken up by the inactive forearm muscle; the v-a [lactate] difference was approximately 4.5 mmol/l. Only about 45% of the lactate taken up by the inactive tissue was oxidised, the remaining lactate was metabolised to other metabolic end points. Lactate uptake by inactive tissue reduced the anion concentration of the body and increased the strong ion difference across the inactive tissue. Recovery of acid-base balance is not complete until all the lactate has been removed from the body.

At 6'6� and 232 pounds of muscle, Rio is one tall drink of straight man. What four years of playing professional soccer have done to his body is very evident. The effects on his libido quickly showed up as well in the form of a mighty tent in his pants.He was a little shy at first but as soon his clothes came off, that dick came up and he was pounding away like the champion he is. I was wondering if his cock would be dwarfed on that big frame but I know you will be as pleased as I was discoverer that everything was very well proportioned.When it was time to make the goal, he didn't so much spurt on his stomach as he fired a super sized load of jizz so far in the air then when it finally came down and landed, you could hear the echo of the splats on those chiseled abs.
