SANTA CLARA, Calif. - Chris Wondolowski and Walter Martinez each scored and the San Jose Earthquakes beat FC Dallas 2-1 Saturday in the season finale for both teams.
The Earthquakes came into the game in contention for a playoff berth, but would have needed to score 13 goals and have Colorado lose Vancouver on Sunday.
Stephen Keel scored in the 90th minute for FC Dallas, which already had been eliminated from playoff contention.
David Bingham made his first start of the season for the Earthquakes.
San Jose's victory gave the retiring Ramiro Corrales a successful send off. The last original member of the MLS from 1996, Corrales made his first start since Sept. 14 and had two chances to score in the first 11 minutes.
The Earthquakes finished the season with a seven-match unbeaten streak and a 16-game unbeaten run at home.
Dallas, which ended its home season with a victory its last time out, went 1-5-1 over its last seven games.
Martinez came back from a missed shot in the 23th minute to give the Earthquakes a 1-0 edge four minutes later.
Justin Morrow sent a forward pass along the left sideline, where Martinez collected it and kicked a low shot past Dallas' goalkeeper Chris Seitz and into the right corner of the net.
Wondolowski received a pass from Shea Salinas just inside the penalty box and fired a drive into the near top corner in the 57th minute.
San Jose went 11-5-3 under interim coach Mark Watson, who replaced Frank Yallop midway through the season. Watson remains a leading candidate to become coach.
Dallas coach Schellas Hyndman was on the sidelines for the final time after announcing earlier that he would retire following the season. He spent the past six years in the MLS.
Corrales leaves as the Earthquakes' leader in games played with 250. A brief, pregame ceremony was held for him and he received a standing ovation when he subbed out in the 60th minute and was carried off the field by teammates Steven Lenhart and Victory Bernandez.
Peter Luccin received a yellow card in the 85th minute.

Best Restaurants for a Bowl o' Red
- Perilagu Khan Jan 20, 2010 01:21 PM
Texas is, of course, regarded as the home of red, beef-based chili. Funny thing, though--I almost never see it offered on menus in Texas restaurants. It seems that true chili seems to be the desmesne of the chili cookoffs and the home-cooks.
But surely there are SOME restos out there that offer up a really good bowl of the good stuff. What are they?
Have no idea where you are, but if you're within driving distance of Austin, I'd recommend the Texas Chili Parlor:
re: Jaymes
I'm about 400 miles northwest of Austin.
In Houston Goode Co's Armadillo Palace for venison chili; Tolbert's in Grapevine for the 'original' Tolbert's of red. You might also try Shady Cove in Austin.
What's in your Blowcharged Bowl of West Texas Red? Have you posted a recipe somewhere?
re: dexmat
Chapman's Chile in Dallas. Go full on spicy.
re: dexmat
Haven't posted it, but will do at some point.
PS--What can y'all say about this Chapman's? Do they prepare different types of chili, or is it all the same chili at different spice levels? And what else do they serve besides chili?
re: Perilagu Khan
Chapman's Chili Kitchen uses Bison for their chili. It's available in 3 temps of heat. And, as we're in Texas, no beans.
They also have killer jalapeno poppers which they make themselves as well. Excellent tamales are also avaiable stuffed with pork, beef or chicken. But, they buy them from a respected Mexican kitchen nearby.
re: twinwillow
At the risk of coming across as ridiculously obsessive, is the bison ground, chili ground or diced?
re: Perilagu Khan
It's a fresh grind.
The thing about chili is that it is terribly subjective, more so than a bowl of pho or a saimin in other cultures. I was at Terlingua this year and found many of the prize winning bowls to be lacking in one area of the other. Many simply overtly sweet, even in the presence of extreme heat of one style of pepper or another. The perfect balance is difficult to find to say the least.
That said, the places mentioned all serve respectable chili. Chapman's is a young family that have been making a go at it basically selling just chili. They have the poppers (baked not fried) that are crisped using the delicate panko breadcrumb, but little else. Their chili can be found where I had it last weekend, the Dallas Farmers Market.
They carry limited amounts of the full on hot stuff as they sell more of the 50/50 blend. If you cannot make it to their store, you might wish to call and reserve a quart of their hot and pick it up at the DFM. Their store closes at 4 each day making it difficult unless you live or work close by the Fairpark area of Dallas.
re: DallasDude
Can some Dallas hound advise whether the Chapman's chili is hamburger grind or chili grind bison?
FYI Bubba's Texas Burger Shack in Houston serves a bison chili, also (chili grind).
re: dexmat
Here it tis, dex. Read it and weep.
2 1/2 lbs. top round
5 cups beef broth
3 T. bacon fat
4 T. guajillo chile powder
3 T. pasilla chile powder
1 T. New Mexico green chile powder
1/4 t. ground clove
2 t. salt
3/4 T. oregano
2/3 T. cayenne
2 t. garlic powder
2 t. ground cumin
4 T. onion flakes
1 jalapeno
1. Chop steak into small cubes and rinse under water.
2. Melt bacon fat in large pot and brown beef after it has been well drained.
3. Add two cups of broth, the pasilla powder, one teaspoon salt, one tablespoon oregano, one teaspoon garlic powder and the jalapeno. Bring to boil and simmer for one hour and fifteen minutes.
4. Add remaining three cups of broth, green chile powder, clove, one teaspoon salt, one tablespoon oregano, one teaspoon garlic powder and onion flakes. Remove jalapeno and squeeze juice into pot. Simmer for one hour uncovered.
5. Add guajillo powder, cayenne and cumin. Simmer for 15 minutes uncovered.
re: Perilagu Khan
Hey that looks really good. I've used guajillo and a little pasilla before but never New Mexico green. I will have to try that. Thanks for the recipe.
re: dexmat
My pleasure. Hope you enjoy it.
re: Perilagu Khan
Made the chili a few weeks back, btw - very good. Thanks for that. I didn't follow the recipe verbatim - I never do. Didn't have NM Green Chili Powder so subbed a fresh pepper.
Shuffling through the dried chilis I had on hand I came across one I had - don't know when I bought it but forgot about it - Pico de Pajaro, 'bird's beak,' a product of Burma. 'Moderately high heat and adds a fruity plum taste to foods.'
I was tempted to try it but wanted to sample yours close to the original recipe.
Re: the lack of chili parlors - perhaps part of it is that no chef has taken on chili as a signature dish and it's considered an afterthought on menus. Even Texas Chili Parlor, as I recall, has only one version of chili on the menu. Chili is usually listed under soups or appetizers instead of entrees.. Chili My Love in LA has a couple dozen varieties of chili on the menu.. (Of course, it's Left Coast "chili" so who knows)?
So, how's the application for a permit for your chili parlor coming along?
re: dexmat
Glad you liked the chili, dex. And you can get NM green chile powder at www.chimayotogo.com if you are inclined to pursue that particular grail.
I'm not yet at the stage of seeking permits and securing a building. At this point I am experimenting with recipes for inclusion on the menu. My most recent chili (I made it yesterday morning) featured all the usual suspects plus New Mexico red chile powder, fatalli puree (from CaJohn's), smoked serrano powder, cinnamon and ground coriander. Was very good, if I do say so, but the ground chuck I used was riddled with gristle and bone. Slightly offputting.
re: Perilagu Khan
Looks good, but the written directions are in conflict with the ingredients list. The spice measurements don't match.
re: aynrandgirl
Right you are. I altered the ingredients of the recipe without altering the instructions. Hence, the 3/4 T. of oregano is the correct measurement and it should be added in step #3. Disregard the oregano in step #4.
Tolbert's in Grapevine. This is the family that wrote the book "A Bowl of Red" and founded the World Chili Championship held annually in Terlingua, Texas. It is now named after them.
423 S Main St, Grapevine, TX 76051
I was at Big Woodrow's with some friends and saw the chili on the menu and decided to try it and was glad I did. Chunks of beef, nice spice and grease level (!). More tomato than I prefer plus bits of tomato and what I think was bell pepper but they were cooked down so it wasn't like it was a beef/vegetable stew. I'd rate it one of the best in the city that I know of.
I'm not quite so high on the chili I had at Papa Joe's BBQ near Memorial City Hospital. I was going to give them credit for chili grind meat but the manager said it was 'hamburger meat' by which I think he meant hamburger grind. I still give them credit for not stirring or overcooking it so it turned to sludge and for making their own from scratch - no way this was out of a can like so many places serve. I think it was a pretty straight forward Tolbert's recipe which I find lacking in complexity. I think they should add a little tomato, maybe one or two more varieties of chiles for a more complex taste. It came with a grated three cheese blend plus chopped green onion tops; I picked up some pickled onions and jalapenos from the condiments bar. It had a nice heat level, wasn't greasy, didn't seem to have any thickener in it which it might have used in this case to add some more complexity.
I should have mentioned above also the bison chili at Bubba's Texas Burger Shack on Westpark.
re: dexmat
Thanks for the terrific report, dex.
You know the surprising lack of restaurants specializing in chili has got me considering opening on out here in Lubbock. If done right, I think such a place could be a hit.
re: Perilagu Khan
I wish you luck - and I'll definitely check it out if I'm ever in Lubbock. Some grad student should write a thesis (or perhaps one already has) on what has happened to our official dish. One excuse I hear is that everybody thinks their recipe is the best so they don't order it at any restaurant. Down here, many places only serve it in cold weather, not year round. I think there are lots of reasons there seem to be so few good bowls of chili available; I think it's probably found more commonly in small town cafes, etc., rather than big cities. Maybe we big city slickers have just gotten too fancified in our eating tastes? I'd love to hear some other poster's opinions of the sparsity of offerings.
re: dexmat
It's funny though, barbecue is no more sophisticated than chili, yet there are cue joints in every Texas town with 3,000 people or more, and Houstonians, Dallasites and Austinites are not too proud to sit down on a bench in some smokey dive and wolf down a plate o' ribs with their bare hands. Seems to me as though the same people who relish barbecue would also queue up--no pun intended--for some bodacious chili.
re: Perilagu Khan
Great barbecue, especially brisket, is exceedingly difficult to make at home. In fact, many folks would tell you that it's impossible unless you've got some sort of fine homemade pit, or fancy expensive rig. So I'm always going to order it out, preferably from one of our legendary pitmasters.
I'd never even attempt it at home. I've had too much tough and inferior brisket over at other people's houses to even try.
But on the other hand, give me a few hours in my kitchen and I'll turn out the best "bowl o' red" in the state.
I love chili. Love it. But I never, ever order it in restaurants. Not because I'm "too fancified," but because I just always like mine better.
And I don't think I'm unusual in that.
For one thing, I'm always suspicious of the ingredients used in restaurant chili. Maybe it's junk meat. Maybe it's cereal fillers and stretchers. And that doesn't even count the flavor.
I don't know anybody that orders it in restaurants, for the exact same reason that I don't. It's easy and cheap to make at home, and we all think ours is the best.
re: Jaymes
I'm sure there's a lot of truth to what you say, but there are many restaurants (BBQ not included) that serve fare which is pretty cheap and easy to make, and they do great business. Just look at the proliferation of sandwich shops, pizzarias and burger joints.
re: Perilagu Khan
Well, as they say, if you pick one thing to do and you do it really well, you'll be successful. Chili is certainly popular. Not to mention that it's easy to prepare for prepared-food sales in market refrigerator cases and freezers.
If somebody opened a place and had four or five kinds of wonderful chilis, and then eventually worked into also selling it in frozen tubes to take home, they might be wildly successful. I had a really good white chili at a restaurant out in California (of course) made with turkey, cannellini beans, and several different types of chiles, and topped with the traditional cheese and chopped onions. It was terrific. Might be a good inclusion into your 'several different types of chilis' restaurant. Think I'd also offer baked potatoes. Even mediocre, commercially-made chili is good over potatoes.
I think Marie Callender's sells a lot of chili and cornbread. And somebody is buying all those cans of chili at the grocery store. So maybe you've hit upon a real gold mine here.
re: Jaymes
Thanks for the encouraging words, Jaymes.
My tentative plan is to work up 12 varieties of chile that will be on offer on a daily basis. Eleven of them will be beef-based, and the twelfth will be New Mexico green chile stew. I've worked up all twelve recipes and am in the process of purchasing all the exotic ingredients and testing the recipes in the kitchen.
In addition to offering chili by the bowl and by the cup, I'll have chili burritos (chili and cheddar wrapped in a flour tortilla), Frito pies and cornbread. Might also have ice cream for desert. Will have to check on the local liquor laws, but if a liquor license is prohibitively expensive, it might be a BYOB place.
And I've come up with the name: El Comanchero Chili Company. :)
re: Perilagu Khan
There will be a branch in Houston I presume?, or will I have to rely on mail-order?
Great minds thing alike - just so happens a few years back a friend and I were working on a similar project. We had developed a number of recipes, argued about the the overall concept, location, etc. We had settled on 9 varieties of chili, varying by heat levels, seasoning mixes, and types of meat. We had doubts about the viability of a chili-only venue so planned to offer soups and stews for those not as cumin and chili-pepper addicted as ourselves, sandwiches and sides. In this part of Texas this would include gumbo and catfish stew as well as some soups like chicken soup and bean soup. We had registered a couple of DBAs and almost registered a domain name too, for a future website.
We talked to an SBA counselor who happened to have restaurant experience, took an SBA course, and also talked to a couple of restauranteurs who we thought were being honest with us. The consensus was that the menu was too confusing and needed to be simplified (in terms of varieties of chili) so we trimmed it to 5 and planned to offer others as Specials of the Day or For a Limited Time Only until we found out what really sold (We had more than 9 recipe concepts, anyway, and would have done stunting with other varieties).
Neither of us had any experience in the restaurant biz so friends and family were not keen on the idea. Then my friend got transferred and the whole project died as I wasn't willing to try it on my own. I still think about it from time to time, especially with the burgeoning mobile food scene here - a chili wagon would be a lot more doable.
Good luck with yours and keep us advised.
re: dexmat
Let me bring up the baked potato again, regarding the "viability of a chili-only venue."
There are small restaurants/cafe surviving on what is basically a "nothing but baked potatoes" concept. They really are good covered with chili. And if you offered them, too, folks that perhaps are not so into chili, would still be willing to join companions that want to go there, if they could order something else.
Also, potatoes have the huge advantage of being cheap. And you could mark them up considerably.
But whatever, hope you keep us informed. Such an interesting endeavor. Best of luck.
re: Jaymes
That sounds like a very good idea. I'll certainly keep it in mind. And your statement that some restaurants are thriving while serving basically nothing but baked taters is heartening food for thought--so to speak.
re: Perilagu Khan
Here's a chain that is doing very well selling baked potatoes. I do think it would be a good match. For one thing, many of the toppings that are popular on baked potatoes also are traditional on chili: cheese, onions, sour cream, jalapenos, etc.
One thing that I've noticed with one-item concept restaurants is that it is a help to have a fall-back item that most folks can resort to.
As in, "I don't want to go there tonight. I'm not in the mood for chili. And I'm a vegetarian."
"Well, you don't have to have chili. They have baked potatoes, too."
re: dexmat
I definitely believe in simplicity, but also believe in variety. I think it will be possible to provide up to 12 chilis while making clear the salient differences.
And, oh yeah, another feature will be an extensive line of pepper sauces and BBQ sauces for sale. There are a few stores around the country (including one in greater Houston) that sell basically nothing but hot and savory retail food products. I thought about doing that, but instead have decided to incorporate that concept into a modern chili parlor.
re: Perilagu Khan
Let us know if this ever happens - we're only about an hour and a half southeast of you, and I'd make the trip, for sure.
I also think you should consider a tongue-in-cheek Cincinatti chili (take-out only!) for the college kids. Just don't call it chili. ;)
re: shanagain
Should I make it out of tongue n' cheek? That might actually go over pretty well with the local Mexicans. ;)
re: Perilagu Khan
Heh. And not a few Anglos.

The minute I heard the title of the new record and saw that Kevin McGrother was an unrepentant indie popster I was intrigued. Living In An Enid Blyton World sounds like the best of British indie pop from the 80′s. Think Max Eider, The Housemartins, Jazz Butcher, Blue Aeroplanes, etc.
"Summer Starts on Sunday" has all the elements of a perfect indie pop song. It's got slightly melancholy sound that is a perfect match for Kevin's laconic vocals. The indie pop themes of simple love conquering all, the beauty of nature and the glories of summer are all present. This record deserves to be blogged about on each and every English music blog, indie pop blog, webzine and fanzine.

Cherish your solitude. Take trains by yourself to places you have never been. Sleep out alone under the stars. Learn how to drive a stick shift. Go so far away that you stop being afraid of not coming back. Say no when you don't want to do something. Say yes if your instincts are strong, even if everyone around you disagrees. Decide whether you want to be liked or admired. Decide if fitting in is more important than finding out what you're doing here. Believe in kissing.
People may not tell you how they feel about you, but they always show you. Pay attention.

Letters to the Editor
To the Editor: We read with interest the report by Paul J. Moberg, Ph.D., and colleagues R4715510CEBBHDBG claiming a negative correlation between duration of illness and age- and gender-adjusted scores on the University of Pennsylvania Smell Identification Test among patients with schizophrenia. The authors concluded that "olfactory identification abilities deteriorate steadily in patients with schizophrenia, even for those with relatively recent onset."
Some details regarding the patients studied by Moberg et al. R4715510CEBBHDBG were absent. They studied more elderly female than elderly male patients; however, the gender distribution in the younger patients and comparison subjects is unknown. This unequal distribution may account for the lack of a main effect for gender in performance on the smell identification test. This negative finding contrasts with the authors' previous reports of gender effects in normal subjects R4715510CEBDEAAH and our findings in patients with schizophrenia R4715510CEBBBGEA, R4715510CEBCIHEI. Specifically, sex differences in olfactory function are age related in patients with schizophrenia. In younger men with schizophrenia, olfactory identification deficits are common; in older patients, both men and women are impaired. It would have been informative to determine whether an age (young versus elderly)-by-gender-by-diagnosis interaction existed. In the absence of a significant three-way interaction, the age-by-diagnosis interaction (also not reported) provides the most direct test of selective olfactory decline in patients.
Analysis of duration effects using residual smell identification scores created by regression on comparison subjects' age and gender is questionable. A more appropriate method would be to analyze residuals obtained following regression on patients' own age and gender to determine if illness duration continues to have an impact on performance on the smell identification test beyond the extent explained by age and gender.
Finally, the assertion that olfactory identification "steadily" declines over the course of illness is suspect on the basis of data presented in figure 1. Only three subjects defined performance for patients with illness durations of 10 to 40 years. This study effectively contrasted two extreme groups (recent onset versus chronic), a limitation that does not allow for identification of potential curvilinear (or stepwise) change. Prediction of nonlinear change in olfactory performance across the age span (illness duration) is buttressed by findings that normal subjects show precipitous decline in olfactory performance beyond age 65 R4715510CEBBBGEA and female patients become impaired only postmenopausally R4715510CEBCIHEI. We were unable to identify data bearing on the authors' assertion that steady decline is observed "even for those with relatively recent onset."

Two recent One Big Happy cartoons with Ruthie's misinterpretations of what she's heard: a simple one today, and a very complex one a little while back:

Ruthie (mis)interpretsAugust 18, 2014
Ruthie's readingsJuly 5, 2014
Two recent One Big Happys:
Ruthie misunderstands a number of things here: in #1, the full cultural context of what she's seeing on television, plus the interpretation of self-esteem issues (which she parses as selfish steam issues); and in #2, the interpretation of Oil of Olay (which she hears as Oil of Old Lady).
After Cinco de MayoMay 7, 2014
The 5th was (surprise!) Cinco de Mayo and also National Cartoonists Day, as I reported yesterday. So yesterday was the day after. Cartoonist Lalo Alvarez considers that day:
One too many Dos XXs!
Ruthie v. EnglishSeptember 12, 2013
A set of One Big Happy strips in which little Ruthie confronts the language: a spectacular mondegreen, some other misunderstandings based on phonological similarity (with more familiar words replacing unusual ones), and some troubles with idiomatic usages.
take it as a givenJuly 21, 2013
In today's Pearls Before Swine, Pig misunderstands yet another English expression:
Ok, it's take it as a given 'assume that it is true', a partly transparent idiom. Which Pig apparently hadn't heard before, so he understands the noun given, eggcornishly, as gibbon. Swing on, Pig.
(Yes, tremendously silly. But I am entertained.)
On the mistakes patrolMay 28, 2013
Three recent mistakes on my part: a writing error; a mishearing; and a misinterpretation of what I heard.
Another OBH roundupMay 16, 2013
From Benita Bendon Campbell, three more One Big Happy strips: on questions, compound nouns, and tense in nouns. And then, as a bonus, four strips on Ruthie's interpretations of words.

An unfortunate mishearingApril 9, 2013
From Victor Steinbok on ADS-L, a link to a HuffPost Comedy posting with this photograph:
Correction timeApril 8, 2013
From the NYT Magazine 4/7/13:
A March 24 article on preparing a holiday feast misidentified the state from which Cheerwine, a cherry-red soft drink, originates. It is North Carolina, not South Carolina. And an accompanying recipe for braised lamb omitted instructions for three ingredients. An onion, roughly chopped, along with a tablespoon of minced garlic and a tablespoon of minced ginger, are to be included when the dried fruit is added to the pot containing the meat in Step 1. In addition, an accompanying feature transcribed incorrectly a comment from Callie Khouri, creator of the television drama "Nashville," about what she would put on her Easter playlist. Khouri said she would include music by Pops Staples, the late patriarch of the singing family the Staple Singers. She did not say she would include "pop staples."
An entertaining mishearing / misinterpretation: the article is labeled as being by Callie Khouri, but clearly she spoke her comments (on the telephone or in a face-to-face interview) to someone who then turned them into text, rather than writing her comments up herself.

|Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to determine if treatment with venlafaxine reduces symptoms of depression in persons with traumatic brain injury.
|Detailed Description
The study evaluates the benefits of a promising antidepressant medication for the treatment of persons with traumatic brain injury (TBI) and major depressive disorder (MDD). The study is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of venlafaxine (a serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor, also known as Effexor). Venlafaxine has been well established in the treatment of MDD in healthy individuals and is a recommended depression treatment agent for persons with TBI. By using a rigorous scientific methodology, this study will be an important first step in advancing the treatment of depression in this population beyond general impressions to proven treatments.

The Baylor Lady Bears were bound an determined not to lose another game in a little over a week's time to the West Virginia Lady Mountaineers, band the Bears got the job done, outlasted the second-seeded Mountaineers 74-71 on Monday to capture their fourth straight Big 12 Women's Tournament Championship and fifth in the last six seasons.
The tournament championship game was a classic showdown between the two league co-champions of the regular season. Both teams fiuished with identical 16-2 recoords in Big 12 play and a top-10 ranking in the latest national polls. West Virginia was ranked fifth in this week's AP poll, the Lady Mountaineers' highest ranking in school history, while Baylor held down the No. 7 position in the same poll. The USA Today Coaches' Poll, however, had the rankings reversed, with Baylor at No, 6 and West Virgtinia No. 7.
Baylor and West Virginia split their two regular-season contests, with each winning 0n the others home floor. Just a week ago, West Virginia downed the Lady Bears at Baylor by a score of 71-69.
In Monday's Big 12 championship game, Baylor withstood a 24-point game-high performance by West Virginia's Bria Holmes and an 11-4 scoring run by the Lady Mountaineers to take a four-point lead midway through the second half after the Lady Bears had led for virtually the first 30 minutes of the game. The game went back and forth during the final six minutes before the Lady Bears took the lead for good with 53 seconds left in the game on a jumper by senior All-American Odyssey Sims, who tallied 19 points despite playing with an injured ankle.
Baylor also got 19 points from sophomore Niya Johnson and 16 more from sophomore Nina Davis. The Lady Bears will head to the NCAA Women's Tournament late next week with a top seed and the Big 12's automatic bid as the conference's tournament champion. Baylor, which has a combined record of 137-9 over the last four seasons, was the women's national champion in 2006 and 2012.
This was the Lady Bears' fourth straight Big 12 Tournament title, but it was the first over that time frame without All-American and three-time Big 12 Player of the Year Brittney Griner. "It means a lot, said Baylor's Sims, the only holdover from the Griner era at Baylor, in the team's postgame press briefing. "I think the group that left (last year), give credit to them. We dominated the first three years with them, and being the underdog going into the season, I think our team handled it very well. I didn't expect us to win as many games as we did, but we kept fighting."
Baylor's path to the Big 12 Championship game included a quarterfinal win Kansas over and a 65-61 victory over No. 4 seed Oklahoma State in the semifinal round. West Virginia defeated TCU in the quarterfinals and No. 3 Texas its semifinal matchup.

MASHPEE — After rattling off its long list of accomplishments and other highlights of the Class of 2014's tenure at Mashpee High School, Principal Jane Day admitted there is one trait she'll miss the most about the new graduates: their sense of humor.
"You find humor in even the most trying situations," she said Saturday morning at the school's graduation ceremony. "When you balance that sense of humor with a sense of responsibility, that combination will serve you all well. ... I hope you all hold on to that beautiful spirit. To live without it is a bore."

The 89 graduates received their diplomas in a morning service in the school's gymnasium. It was the 15th graduation ceremony for the school since it opened in 1996.
Day said of 83 percent of the class is going on to some form of higher education. Six percent are going straight into the work force, and 7 percent will enter the armed forces.
"It's been a long year, but it's been a fun year," Day said to the students in a pre-ceremony gathering in the auditorium.
Both the graduates and Mashpee faculty and staff said they were in disbelief that graduation had finally arrived.
"The day has come," guidance counselor Lindsay Kett said before the ceremony. "How many of you at the beginning of the year thought, 'I don't think I'm going to make it' Now how many of you have made it?"
Valedictorian Amanda Sullivan, who will study biochemistry at Worcester Polytechnic Institute in the fall, said while being No. 1 in the class had been a goal, she never imagined that she'd be giving the valedictory speech, especially given the stage fright she experienced as a child.
She told the story of one incident in preschool when her parents had to rescue her off a stage when she started crying while attempting to sing a song.
"So if I start crying, Mom and Dad, please come take me off the stage," she said.
Sullivan likened her fellow students' high school experience to the "Toy Story" movies, in which the character Andy eventually leaves for college, putting the fate of his toys in doubt.
"Just like our experience at Mashpee, Andy never left his past behind and embraced it," she said. "While we may have grown too old for our toys, but we'll go to infinity and beyond."
Selectman Michael Richardson, who was the keynote speaker, wished the class luck as they embark on their new adventures.
"Tomorrow you start a whole new endeavor," he said. "Tomorrow will be the first day of what you're going to be, what you'll do and perhaps what you'll become. Tomorrow you start all over again."

Amazing Tuscan chicken baked Mac and cheese
Mac & Cheese, Quesadilla & chocolate torte AMAZING! Very knowledgable and great staff!!
very knowledgeable. delicious food.
Celestial chicken was delicious!
Gluten free pancakes, French toast, eggs benedict! Real (delicious) choices for breakfast. Good service and highly knowledgable. I'll be coming back to try dinner
Very knowledgable. Got the build your own pizza and it was great! Would eat here again.
Nearly everything on the menu had the availability for gluten free accommodations. So much to choose from and real good food!
Excellent variety, taste, atmosphere, and prices. Staff know their stuff.
great gf menu options. Only reason I didn't give 5 stars is that they do not have a designated gf fryer so no gf french fries. For a place with such an extensive list of gf options this surprised me.
Great food, and excellent GF selection. So many of their dishes can be made GF (and even vegetarian) and the staff was super-knowledgeable. Will definitely go back when in the area.
The food here is tasty, worth going to for the selection available. I took my girlfriend because she is gluten and dairy allergic. I would have given this place a 5 if they didn't take advantage of customers with food allergies by charging them extra for their meals.
Options! Gluten-free options, not one or two menu items. Staff is trained to ask about celiac/personal choice. Great menu for entire dining party regardless of gluten status. Atmosphere is chic & comfortable. All around first choice when dining out, meeting friends, or entertaining clients. Kind of awkwardly attached to organic market, but don't let the facade fool you.
Eve has amazing gluten free options in a unique atmosphere.

Tom Bresko decided more than three decades ago to turn down a job with United Airlines for one at Mill Creek MetroParks, and he never looked back.
Bresko will leave his 36-year career on Friday. He said he has mixed feelings about what he's leaving behind but not about what lies ahead.
"I've had this terrific opportunity to serve my community, and I enjoyed that time," he said. "But it's time to move on to the next chapter of my life."
That next chapter, Bresko said, includes visiting the park as a community member and spending more time with his fianc e.
"I look forward to what I know is going to be an exciting future for me," he said.
Bresko's career at the MetroParks began unexpectedly.
After graduating from Ohio State University, he was moving grass and cleaning rest rooms part time in 1977 and nearly ready to accept a job with United Airlines when Bresko said the park's recreation director stepped down suddenly.
"They called me and asked if I wanted the job," he said. "I believed in taking that one small step to get started, but I look back now, and go 'Wow. I had a pretty good run.'"
Bresko said though he served as interim executive director for nearly two years, and most recently, deputy director, his proudest accomplishment was spending 32 years as recreation director.
Read the full story Monday in The Vindicator and on Vindy.com.
Goodluck Tom in your future endevors.Tom was a good boss and a real good guy.
He watched the Youngstown population fall from 170,000 to less then 60,000 over his years. I don't consider it a good run given the condition of Mill Creek Park today. Danger at every turn and meadow, and it's condition is just terrible.
In his time he also watched the park, under the sole support of the taxpayers of Youngstown, deteriorate to the point where it had to become a Metropark or disappear. This valuable community asset was turning into a wasteland, with no programs, no maintenance, no infrastructure improvements, crime against people, drugs, vandalism - go the way of the city that surrounds it. Have you ever compared the crime records of the mall to the park? I think you'd be surprised. Those of you who complain - get out of your easy chair and TAKE A HIKE!

The New England Patriots face a number of questions in the off-season and one big question revolves around the secondary. Cornerback Aqib Talib is a free agent and New England must decide whether to bring him back or let him walk. Even letting him walk, there is the decision if New England needs to find a shut-down cornerback in free agency to take his place or hand the job to young cornerbacks Logan Ryan and Alfonzo Dennard. With his injury history in New England, is it smart for the Patriots to bring back Talib or find another option at cornerback for 2014?
Cornerback Aqib Talib is a key free agent this off-season and the Patriots have a hard decision as to whether they re-sign him. On one hand, when healthy he proved to be a catalyst to the defense that bumped them from very good to elite. Even with his hip injury the past two seasons, his presence alone on defense seems to make the secondary stronger just by being able to keep fellow cornerback Alfonzo Dennard in the number two role outside and cornerback Kyle Arrington inside on the slot receiver where he thrives.
As shown numerous times over the past season-and-a-half with Talib in New England, when he is unable to play the defense struggles. This season against Denver in the AFC Championship Game with Talib for the first two drives the Broncos were held to a field goal and their only punt of the game. Once Talib was knocked out of the game with the knee injury from the pick by Denver wide receiver Wes Welker the Broncos feasted on Dennard and rookie Logan Ryan in the secondary.
It was eerily similar to the AFC Championship Game the year before against Baltimore where the Ravens did not score a point until Talib left the game injured. Once he was out and the secondary was disrupted quarterback Joe Flacco began attacking the secondary downfield.
One thing made clear in this season's AFC Championship Game was that rookie Logan Ryan and second-year cornerback Alfonzo Dennard are not ready for primetime as the top two cornerbacks. New England's defense needs to have a real number one cornerback on the field in order to thrive. With Dennard and/or Ryan opposite outside as the number two cornerback and Kyle Arrington inside where he plays best, the Patriots secondary makes the defense a worthy complement to the offense.
The question for New England is whether Talib is the right fit or if there is another cornerback on the market who can step in and replicate his performance. On the free agent market are potential number one cornerbacks Alterraun Verner, Brent Grimes, Vontae Davis, Captain Munnerlyn, Sam Shields, and Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie. Obviously, the teams are intent on re-signing their own free agents and the franchise tag may come into play, but the Patriots seriously need to investigate whether one of these cornerbacks may be more durable than Talib and a better fit in New England.
One issue in New England is always the price tag. With injuries derailing his past two seasons in New England, Aqib Talib may be viewed as damaged goods by other teams and be available at the discount price that the Patriots front office desires. Vontae Davis has played well in Indianapolis and is a known quantity with the New England front office after having faced him multiple times. Physical and aggressive in coverage, Davis has a skill set similar to Talib and may be a target if the Colts are unable to keep him in house.
Cornerback Brent Grimes is also in a similar situation as Talib. WIth injury questions after missing all of 2012 with an Achilles tear, Grimes thrived with the Miami Dolphins on a one-year "prove-it" deal similar to what Talib received from the Patriots. Both cornerbacks are looking to cash in this off-season. The Patriots saw Grimes twice, and both times he put on a show. In week eight against the Patriots he allowed only two receptions for nine yards in coverage. Although he did not replicate those stats in week 15, his importance to the Dolphins was highlighted by how New England opened up the passing game once he left the game with cramping.
The most intriguing free agent at cornerback is Tennessee's Alterraun Verner (aka ATV). With cornerback Jason (Twin of Devin) McCourty locked up to a big deal and solid rookie Blidi Wreh-Wilson on hand, the Titans may be willing to let ATV walk. Tennessee is looking to spend at quarterback and may need to let Verner hit the open market. Though not a big cornerback, ATV is an aggressive cornerback who plays bigger than his size. The knock on the young cornerback is that he has really only has had two strong seasons and teams may not pony up for someone still somewhat unproven.
Captain Munnerlyn, Sam Shields, and Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie all are likely a step down from Talib and only an option if another team is able to swoop in and overwhelm the cornerback. Shields seems likely to stay in Green Bay, Rodgers-Cromartie may go back to Denver with Champ Bailey's cap number off the books, and Munnerlyn is undersized and his head-butt of wide receiver Michael Crabtree in the divisional playoffs may have made him look bad, but he has talent. Expect Munnerlyn to test free agency but the Panthers expect to make a big push to keep him.
For New England, they may find themselves with no choice but to make a push for Aqib Talib at cornerback simply due to lack of options in free agency as teams try to re-sign their own players before they hit the open market. While Talib has shown he is a great fit for the defense and he clearly makes the other secondary players better, his durability causes concern. It would not be shocking to see New England make a splash with free agent Brent Grimes, Vontae Davis, or Alterraun Verner to replace Talib's oft-injured role as number one cornerback with another aggressive, strong defender.

BJP to crush Congress in battle for India, say exit polls
The BJP-led NDA coalition is set to return to power in India led by its prime ministerial aspirant Narendra Modi, ending a decade of Congress-led rule, exit polls said Monday after the country's most bitterly fought general election ended.
Three of the four exit polls Monday night estimated that the Bharatiya Janata Party-led National Democratic Alliance would get 272 to 289 seats in the 545-member Lok Sabha, leaving the Congress bruised and battered.
The India Today-CICERO and the ABP-Nielsen exit polls predicted 272 or more seats for the NDA.
Even before the exit polls sent a wave of joy in the BJP camp, a confident Modi, 63, said in a tweet: "India has won. The power of ballot has won."
While the India Today-CICERO gave the Congress-led United Progressive Alliance (UPA) 115 seats and other parties 156, the ABP-Nielsen tally for the Congress grouping was 110.
Projections by India TV-CVoter put the NDA on top with 289 seats and the UPA far behind with 101. Other groups were projected to get 148 seats and the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) five seats nationally.
The ORG-TimesNow exit poll, however, gave the Congress-led UPA a slightly higher 148 seats and the BJP-headed NDA 249 seats. Others were said to bag 146 seats.
Going by most projections, the Congress - born in 1885 and India's oldest political party - could end up with its lowest tally ever in the Lok Sabha -- perhaps in just two figures. Its lowest tally was 114 in 1999.
The BJP, which turned aggressive after Gujarat Chief Minister Modi was named its prime ministerial candidate, said the exit poll findings were on expected lines.
But its leaders insisted that the party was sure to get a comfortable majority in the Lok Sabha along with its allies and that it would surprise everyone even in states where it has been traditionally weak.
BJP spokesman Prakash Javadekar told IANS: "The exit polls largely reflect the reality on ground though we feel we will get more seats."
He underlined that the BJP's sweeping gains -- it had ruled the country for six years till 2004 when it was voted out -- were mainly due to Modi's leadership.
Added his colleague Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi: "Wherever we went campaigning, it was clear that people wanted Modi to lead the country."
A despondent Congress blamed rising food prices for the voter anger.
The exit polls gave the BJP and its allies far more seats than the Congress in northern, western and central India. Only parts of the south held hope for the Congress.
ABP News-Nielsen said the BJP would make huge gains in the populous states of Uttar Pradesh, Bihar and Maharashtra which together account for 168 crucial Lok Sabha seats.
According to it, the NDA would get 46 of the 80 seats in Uttar Pradesh and 21 of the 40 seats in adjoining Bihar.
In Maharashtra, the BJP (21) and its ally Shiv Sena (11) would net 32 of the 48 seats.
A fourth exit poll, on CNN-IBN, said the BJP was expected to do unusually well in West Bengal and Tamil Nadu where it has always been weak.
The BJP was also on the victory lap in Haryana, Uttarakhand and Himachal Pradesh, exit polls said.
Monday marked the end of India's staggered Lok Sabha election in which a total of 66 percent of the 814 million electorate voted over 10 rounds. It was the highest voter participation ever.
Like in earlier phases, millions voted Monday in Uttar Pradesh (18 seats), West Bengal (17) and Bihar (six seats).
The constituency which drew most interest nationally was Varanasi where Modi was a candidate, challenged by AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal and Ajay Rai of the Congress.
The turnout was so heavy in Varanasi that some voters complained that stood in queues for as long as four hours.
Barring stray clashes and allegations of voter intimidation in parts of West Bengal, Monday's voting too passed off peacefully in a tribute to the world's largest democracy.
Monday saw a key index of the Bombay Stock Exchange closing at an all-time high, just before exit polls poured in, gaining over 550 points or nearly 2.5 percent intra-day.

On Tuesday, Pau Gasol joined Mark Willard and Mychal Thompson on ESPNLA 710. He discussed not only the current state of the Lakers, but also his future with the team:
It'd be hard for me to go through another season of uncertainty, of being that player that can always be interchangeable or moved away for the right opportunity that will come along or not.
We'll revaluate (at the end of t he season) but at the end of the day, I'm getting closer to the last few years of my career and I want to have an enjoyable time in a situation where I'm wanted, used properly and I can maximise my qualities and talents.
Gasol still sounds unhappy with the situation he's in: he obviously thinks that he should be used more on the block, and I have to agree with him there.
He also talks about being in a situation for the remainder of his career where he can feel happy and needed – his contract runs out in 2014, so even if the Lakers don't end up dealing him to another team before then, he'll have the opportunity to choose where he wants to play.
Pau has reiterated time and time again that he wants to be a Laker, though the situation will obviously have to be the right one for him to stay in Los Angeles. We'll see what happens down the road.

Abstract. We report the first data set of atmospheric abundances for the following four perfluoroalkanes: n-decafluorobutane (n-C4F10), n-dodecafluoropentane (n-C5F12), n-tetradecafluorohexane (n-C6F14) and n-hexadecafluoroheptane (n-C7F16). All four compounds could be detected and quantified in air samples from remote locations in the Southern Hemisphere (at Cape Grim, Tasmania, archived samples dating back to 1978) and the upper troposphere (a passenger aircraft flying from Germany to South Africa). Further observations originate from air samples extracted from deep firn in Greenland and allow trends of atmospheric abundances in the earlier 20th century to be inferred. All four compounds were not present in the atmosphere prior to the 1960s. n-C4F10 and n-C5F12 were also measured in samples collected in the stratosphere confirming their very long atmospheric lifetimes. Emissions were inferred from these observations and found to be comparable with emissions from the EDGAR database for n-C6F14. However, emissions of n-C4F10, n-C5F12 and n-C7F16 were found to differ by up to five orders of magnitude. Although the abundances of the four perfluorocarbons reported here are currently small (less than 0.3 ppt, parts per trillion) they have strong Global Warming Potentials several thousand times higher than carbon dioxide and continue to increase in the atmosphere. The sum of their cumulative emissions reached 325 mt (million metric tonnes) CO2 equivalent at the end of 2009.

page 2 - 88th Pikes Peak International Hill Climb
Once again, the mountain refused to surrender the 10-minute barrier.
By July 1, 2010 / Photos by Mike Monticello and Press
Millen was the last of the Unlimited runners, the remaining hope to break 10 minutes. Unfortunately, he had problems nearly from the start when his paddle-shift gearbox malfunctioned and he had to slow almost to a stop, and then restart. Then the handling went awry: "We threw a setup at it yesterday, and now it just won't turn on the pavement," he said. Due to a high frustration level, Millen then spun in the right-hand dirt sweeper known as Sump, losing more precious seconds, and to top it off, by the end of the run his brakes had overheated. "Anything that could go wrong unfortunately did this year," Millen said, posting a rather dismal (for Millen) 11:06.208. But he tried to be upbeat after the race. "The car is fantastic, it just needs more development. We don't lack preparation; we lack time," he said. "But this is the car of the future on the hill." And with that it gave the overall win to Tajima, his fifth consecutive victory, a nice consolation for once again not breaking the 10-minute mark.
The Open Wheel class saw a stellar battle between Spencer Steele and Jimmy Keeney, Steele taking the victory with a 10:53.107 to Keeney's 10:53.679. But the drive of the day had to go to Jeff Zwart who took the Time Attack 2WD title in his naturally aspirated Porsche 911 GT3 Cup car with a record run of 11:31.095, shattering the mark of 12:09.40 set last year by Millen in a turbocharged Hyundai Genesis Coupe. This being the first time Zwarta 7-time Pikes Peak class championhad raced the road-oriented Cup car on the mountain, he said, "I can't believe that we finished 6th overall! Bringing a Cup car to the mountain is something that I've wanted to do for three years." He hopes his car will form the basis for a GT3 Cup class for next year's race.
My favorite cars on the mountain were the Super Stock cars of Layne Schranz, driving a full-on Chevy Monte Carlo NASCAR stocker, and Steve Goeglein in a Chevy Camaro. Their bellowing V-8s raised the hairs on the back of your neck whenever they thundered by, and their constant tail-out actionboth in the dirt and on the pavementthrilled the 5000-or-so onlookers.
Not on my "favorites" list was the EV Sports Concept HER-02 electric buggy piloted by Ikuo Hanawa. Sure, it broke the Electric class record with a 13:17.575, beating Jeri Unser's mark of 14:33.12 set way back in 2003, but if your car needs chimes (as Hanawa's did) for people to hear it on the way up the mountain, then I'm sorry, it's just not a real race car.
The Future: More Paving
As you read this, work should already have begun on paving the stretch from Devil's Playground to the top of the mountain, leaving only a 3½-mile stretch from Gayler's Straits to Glen Cove unpaved for next year's race; and even that section will be paved for 2012. So what if no one breaks the 10-minute barrier until 2012? "I think there will have to be an asterisk once it's entirely paved," says Zwart, who says he's more than happy to let the young guys like Millen go for the record.
Dallenbach, who says he vastly preferred the all-dirt course, says this year's "pavement, dirt, pavement, dirt, pavement mix" was as tricky as it gets, and it would've been extra special to break 10 minutes this year. "But I don't think the pavement will diminish the record. Hey, we thought we were going to break 10 minutes long ago."
As weather is almost always a factor at Pikes Peak (the race had to be temporarily halted this year due to a short but heavy snow flurry at the top of the mountain), Millen thinks a full pavement course could prove even more problematic. "The pavement is actually more slippery than dirt when it's wet," he said. Meaning unless Pikes Peak gets absolutely perfect weather in 2012, it could be years before we see the record fall, even with a full pavement course.
While many of us at R&T will miss the wild drift action the dirt sections encourage, you can bet Pikes Peak will begin to attract more road-going supercars, such as Ferraris and Lamborghinis. And Dallenbach sees other benefits to an all-pavement course: "I think it will bring in more manufacturers and more money," he said. "But I don't think Pikes Peak will ever die," he continued. "It will just turn into a different race."

The Big 12 is entering bowl season with 9 teams that earned bowl bids. From the Bridgepoint Holiday Bowl to the Fiesta Bowl, the Big 12 can make it's case as the best conference in football with a great bowl season performance. The Big 12 is considered to be one of the top football conference in the country, but the perception that many have of the Big 12 is that it is filled with few elite teams and many good teams. And if you look at the Big 12 standings, 5 of the 10 teams finished either 5-4 or 4-5 in conference. Fans of the Big 12 know that in the Big 12 there are no bye weeks but the rest of the country doesn't know that. All the nation has seen is our BCS representative, Kansas State, lost by 28 points to 7-5 Baylor.
Here is the first part of the breakdown of the bowl games that the Big 12 will play in in the 2012-2013 College Football bowl season.
Bridgeport Education Holiday Bowl (December 27th, ESPN)
Baylor vs UCLA
Baylor is going into the Holiday Bowl on a 3 game winning streak and UCLA is going in with 2 straight losses to Stanford. UCLA will be looking to prove that it is one of the top teams going into the 2013 football season. Baylor wants to prove that the victory over Kansas State wasn't a fluke.
Meinke Care Care Of Texas Bowl (December 28th; ESPN)
Minnesota vs Texas Tech
Texas Tech went from being a potential Big 12 title contender in October to just another 7-5 team in November. Minnesota is in it's first bowl game under coach Jerry Kill who has in under scrutiny of his treatment of players in his program. This game will provide a boost for the team who wins into the 2013 season and take some heat of two coaches that want to end the season with a win.
New Era Pinstripe Bowl (December 29th; ESPN)
West Virginia Vs. Syracuse
West Virginia is trying to avenge one of its few Big East losses last year by playing in the New Era Pinstripe Bowl. Syracuse is riding high after beating Louisville and Missouri to end the season 7-5. West Virginia won its final two games of the season after losing 5 straight games after beating Texas in October. This will be a huge game and I expect both teams to come ready to play.
Come back tomorrow for part 2.

ZeroWater Launches Water Filtration Bottle
Saturday March 2nd, 2013 - 2:03PM
These are shortcuts to your favorite social networking and bookmark sites. Add this story to your Facebook page, del.icio.us, DiggIt, and many others!
Zero Technologies has launched a personal on-the-go water filtration bottle that features the company's patented 5-stage dual ion exchange tap water filter technology. The new portable 30-ounce water filtration bottle is launching at the Housewares Show in Chicago.
The portable filtration BPA-free bottle contains ZeroWater's 5-stage filtration system that is found in its pitchers and dispensers, which is said to remove 99.6% of dissolved solids from tap water. The new portable bottle will deliver filtered water comparable to purified bottled water, with a 000 ppm reading, according to ZeroWater.
"Our new personal filtration bottle combines a truly high-performance water filter with a sleek-looking and ergonomic design to provide pure-tasting water that is free of dissolved solids anywhere you go," said Doug Kellam, CEO of ZeroWater.
ZeroWater's filtration bottle also features a filter replacement indicator, a color change window, that signals when the filter needs changing. The need to replace is based on actual water quality, as opposed to time-based indicators. It also features a 3-position lid design to allow the customer to fill, seal and drink from the bottle without ever removing the cap, and a twist and flip straw.
