1 (8 ounce) package
linguini pasta
2 tablespoons
1/2 pound
fresh mushrooms, sliced
1/2 cup
2 cloves
garlic, minced
1 (3 ounce) package
cream cheese
2 tablespoons
chopped fresh parsley
3/4 teaspoon
dried basil
2/3 cup
boiling water
1/2 pound
cooked shrimp
Very tasty by following reviewer suggestions. I almost didn't make this since it isn't as low fat a recipe as I usually make, but I will definitely do again. I sauteed the mushrooms and shrimp together with extra garlic and white wine and slightly undercooked since I knew they would cook more when added to the sauce. I used 8 oz cream cheese, extra basil, and instead of water used 1/4 cup milk, 1/4 white wine and the liquid from after the mushrooms and shrimp had sat. Also added parmesan. I think next time I will try with lower fat cream cheese just to see if I can get the same results. I can see doing this in the spring with salmon and aspargus. YUM!!!
it seems so many folks love this...and yes it is good. my problem is it calls for too much water. i made as written...too watery for my taste. halve the water and it would be better. i won't waste shrimp again here, though.

This could be a restaurant quality recipt with a few exceptions: Increase shrimp 1 lb., use cremini mushrooms, use fresh basil increase to 1/3cp and use flat leaf parsley. Double the garlic. Add 1/4 cp Marsala before adding shrimp and mushrooms. Serve with garlic bread.
This is absolutely amazing. I did have to add some milk to make the sauce because without it, it was just too thick (you could add some of the pasta water too...if you prefer). We loved this. This would be perfect for company because it has great visual presence. One of our favorite recipes from this site up to date. Thank you for the post.
Awesome recipe! I used white wine and boiling water with 8oz of cream cheese and the sauce was delicious. Also, using a wire whisk to break up the lumps of cheese in the pan really helps. Yummy and simple.
I can't tell you how many times I've made this recipe. Its amazingly easy and you'll get rave reviews from anyone who hasn't tried it yet. The best part of this recipe is you can change it to your liking, add mushrooms or if you don't like them, use another vegetable like broccoli or asparagus or even pea pods! I always add extra garlic just because I REALLY love garlic. The recipe calls for shrimp, but I've also used chicken for this and pasta possibilities are endless! Penne, cavatapi, fusilli, linguini, fettuccini.. I've even used chinese lomein noodles (for extra protein). Fresh cracked black pepper to top this is a must it truly brings out the flavor of everything. Go ahead, try this recipe and post your combination and thoughts! :)
OOOHHH so good! This is another great recipe! I added a chopped green onion, a chopped green bell pepper and 1 chicken breast chopped (in addition to the shrimp)when sauting the mushrooms. I also used cream cheese with chives. It was heavenly! I served with "Spring Strawberry Spinach Salad" and "Great Garlic Bread" also found on this site and the combination was better than any restraunt! I will be making this meal again!
OMG - Very good! A new favorite for my boyfriend and I! Per others - while sauting the mushrooms, I added 1/2 red & 1/2 green bell pepper (chopped), apprx 1 TBLS minced green onion and 1 chicken breast (chopped). I too used cream cheese w/ chives and added a splash of white wine (not the cooking kind wht wine!) to the sauce. It wasn't too thick like others complained about and the flavors were great. The addition of the xtra veggies made the dish look even more appealing! Served with garlic toast and you have yourself and great meal!! Thanks Karyn & All Recipes!!

ETSU declared co-champs of Ringor Invite while Clark, Hazelwood garner all-tournament honors
Tuesday, March 18, 2003ROCK HILL, S.C. (March 18, 2003) - East Tennessee State's softball team was declared co-champions of the 24-team Winthrop/Ringor Invitational this past weekend. The Buccaneers carried a 3-0 overall record in the tournament with wins over Hartford, St. John's, and Michigan State before the event was cancelled due to rain. ETSU will share the crown with four other schools - College of Charleston, Providence, UNC Greensboro, and UNC Wilmington. Buccaneer junior Sheryl Clark (Bradenton, Fla.) and sophomore Mary Beth Hazelwood (Knoxville, Tenn) were named to the all-tournament team. ETSU was the only school to have more than one member represented on the nine-person squad. Clark knocked in three RBIs and hit a homerun versus Hartford in game one, and followed it up with a 2-for-3 performance against Michigan State, including a three-run blast in a come-from-behind victory over the Spartans, 9-6. Hazelwood went 2-for-3 at the plate versus Hartford, and had an outstanding defensive effort against St. John's as the shortstop tallied five assists and five putouts, as the Buccaneers shutout the Red Storm 2-0. ETSU will be in action again on Wednesday, Mar. 19, when the Bucs travel to Radford for a doubleheader beginning at 2 p.m.

Comments On Feb 21, 2015:Throttle is now smoother, and the extra length is perfect for better cable alignment.
Was this review helpful?
Comments On Sep 27, 2014:The first thing I do to any bike I get. Its nice to have the extra length and not having to worry about a stuck throttle. I will never ride a 2 stroke without having one of these installed and a quality throttle tube
Was this review helpful?
Comments On Jun 24, 2014:great to have extra safety factor...I do it before I ever ride the bike I always have risers etc so it is essential.
Was this review helpful?
Comments On Jun 19, 2014:an absolute 100% must have on the KTM 2 strokes. You can move you cable up to the front left of the triple clamps. ESPECIALLY important if you are running a damper of any brand.
Quality piece with fantastic attachment at the carb as well. This is the 1st thing I will change when i get a new bike! good job guys!
Was this review helpful?
Comments On Dec 29, 2013:This cable is great. Re-routed and now I don't get that awful rev-up that I would get sometimes with the stock cable after a hard spill.
Was this review helpful?
Comments On Aug 29, 2013:My stock cable would sometimes give a WOT on lay downs or hard crashes. This completely fixed the issue. The cable routing is much better and feels smooth. If you have any complaint with the stock cable, this is the one you want to buy.
Was this review helpful?
Comments On Aug 23, 2013:This cable threads into both ends, unlike the stock cable that can be pulled out if it snags and revs the engine. I had one WFO experience on my old bike with a stock cable. No more of that, this cable stays in place and with the extra length you can clean up the cockpit and route it in front of the bars.
Was this review helpful?
Comments On Jul 04, 2013:The longer cable fit great routing the cable between the number plate and odometer and down the left side of the bike under the cdi unit. Perfect fit in that configuration and much improved over stock.
Was this review helpful?
Comments On Mar 13, 2013:Love this cable. Never owning a KTM, I hated how they route their throttle cables. This cable fit great and made the cable look normal, plus you get away from that WFO when riding trails and snag a branch.
Was this review helpful?
Comments On Nov 04, 2012:After a few close calls of Wide of throttle on single track, I installed this and just completed 50 miles with no problems. A must for a Ktm, unless you safety wire the cable to the top of the carb inlet like I've seen some guys do on the forums.

Hi-Tec 6 In. Cascadia eVent WPI Boot
ion-mask Originally developed for military clothing and designed to combat chemical agents, ion-mask technology by P2i is an award winning ultra protective surface enhancement pioneered by Magnum that offers truly groundbreaking benefits, so much so that it forces the world to sit up and take notice.
This breakthrough in surface enhancement works at a molecular (nano) level. Applied inside a plasma chamber, the ion-mask treatment binds invisibly to a product material's surface and fibers, resulting in extraordinary benefits to the end user, without affecting the look, feel or breathability of the boot.
Key ion-mask Features:
4:SYS XCm Technology 4:SYS XCm technology is the culmination of two years of intensive research and testing into the dynamics of the foot. It delivers more efficiency to the wearer by allowing the foot to move naturally and adding more cushioning and support where it is most needed.
eVent Waterproof Fabric eVent waterproof technology provides maximum comfort for activity in harsh environments and keeps footwear dry inside by venting perspiration vapor through millions of unimpeded microscopic pores engineered into a durable waterproof membrane. Perspiration vapor travels directly through the eVent membrane's microscopic vents. No moisture is held in the membrane, so fabric layers and the microclimate beneath remain dry inside.
Comfort-Tec Custom Moisture wicking top layer. Poliyou antibacterial/odor control layer. Memory Foam layer delivering ultimate foot shaped fit. Contour compression molded EVA cushioning base layer. Polyurethane heel pads absorbs and distributes shock.

Waikiki, Oahu's tourism center, is a bustling sub-city. Because of all of the development, the area is decades removed from the unspoiled tropical paradise that many mainlanders associate with the entire state. Nevertheless, Waikiki remains an obvious choice for those who want a Hawaiian vacation -- sun, sand, luaus, surfing, hula, mai tais -- without sacrificing the comforts of home. At any given time, 44 percent of visitors in the entire state are spending the night in Waikiki, enjoying the touristy, mile-long stretch of shops, restaurants, and high-rise hotels that runs along Oahu's southeast coast. Waikiki offers a curious blend of mainland suburban staples and local flavor. On the sidewalks, Japanese tourists intermingle with tanned locals, surfboards under their arms, on their way to the beach to catch a few waves after work. On both sides of the street, high-end retailers -- Tiffany, Cartier, even an Apple store -- are interspersed with indoor malls and streetside vendors hawking cheap seashell jewelry and T-shirts. Seemingly every midmarket chain restaurant can be found here -- Cheesecake Factory, California Pizza Kitchen, Tony Roma's -- along with more than a handful of Starbucks and fast-food joints.
With its plethora of budget and midrange options, Waikiki is an excellent choice for those who want a Hawaiian vacation without breaking the bank. On that prudent end of the spectrum, we highly recommend Hotel Renew, the Aston Waikiki Beach, the Park Shore, and -- a steal that's often less than $100 a night -- the newly renovated Aqua Waikiki Pearl. For families with a little more leeway, price-wise, we like the Marriott Waikiki, Sheraton Waikiki, and the Hilton Hawaiian Village. And for those with a little more leeway, price-wise, we like the Marriott Waikiki, Sheraton Waikiki, and the Hilton Hawaiian Village. And for those with a lot more leeway, price-wise, there are really only three luxury hotels in Waikiki: the Moana Surfrider, the Royal Hawaiian, and the Halekulani, all of which offer their own advantages and disadvantages.
We compiled lists of the best luxury hotels, best value hotels, best family-friendly hotels, most romantic hotels, "hidden gem" hotels, our favorite hotel rooms, and the best hotel spas. Don't have time to read all that? Not to fear. We selected one hotel from each list that bests its competitors (if only slightly).
The packed beaches and megaresorts of Waikiki tend to be most popular with budget travelers and families. But luxury travelers who like Oahu for its familiarity and convenience will still find a handful of posh havens amidst the hubbub.
Budget travelers who don't think Hawaii is in their price range should think again. It's exotic, sure, but it's accessible for every budget -- especially in Waikiki, where competition between megaresorts to fill their many rooms results in refreshingly low rates.
A kid-friendly resort in Oahu is usually one of two things: A large, amenity-packed mega-resort with kid activities and dining options galore, or a do-it-yourself, kitchen-equipped condo for longer (albeit no-frills) stays. We found standouts of both types.
On Oahu, it's important to remember that the reality can include crowded Waikiki beaches, which makes finding a romantic hotel a bit of a challenge. But if you choose wisely, there are gems to be found among the hyper children and rows of towels.
Visitors to Hawaii constantly get to experience the thrill of discovery: a beautiful flower, a breathtaking view, or a secret beach can feel as though it belongs to you alone. But when it comes to hotels, it's hard to find a refuge that hasn't already been discovered by the teeming hordes.
Rooms in Hawaii vary greatly in size, style, and amenities, but we've slept in over 90 beds across the state to bring your top picks. Here's our list of the top eight rooms that we found to be the most spacious, stylish, and sumptuous.
Oahu draws more families than romance or luxury travelers (who often head to Maui), but spa-lovers and stressed-out parents counting on relaxation shouldn't worry: the island is home to a number of top-notch spas.

BASF to Expand Capacity for Cyclohexane at Antwerp

BASF says it will expand cyclohexane oxidation capacity at its Antwerp Verbund site by about 50,000 m.t./year. The total amount of the investment will be approximately €10 million ($13 million), the company says. The expansion will take place during two long-term planned turnarounds, and is expected to be completed by the end of 2014, the company says. The total capacity for cyclohexane oxidation at BASF's Antwerp Verbund site was not disclosed. The project will increase further the backward integration of the nylon value chain at the Antwerp site...

I need a script which on invocation will write a six digit serial number which is the preceding invocation's value incremented by a fixed integer. Presumably the initial (starting serial number) and the increment could be set by editing the script. It is not necessary that the most recent serial number be remembered between machine shut downs.
If someone could provide me with such a script I'd be exceedingly appreciative.

Denis Alexander on Understanding Creation Theology

In this video Conversation, Denis Alexander asserts that contemporary Christians are not taking the early chapters of Genesis seriously enough.
Congratulations to the 37 winners of the Evolution & Christian Faith (ECF) grants competition! ECF is a new BioLogos program designed to support projects and network-building among scholars, church leaders, and parachurch organizations.
In this talk, originally delivered at the BioLogos President's Circle meeting in October 2012, Dr. John Walton discusses the origin stories of Genesis 1-3, and why their focus on function and archetypes mean there is no Biblical narrative of material origins.
This ongoing series written by historian Ted Davis begins with a brief synopsis of his personal background, and then goes on to reveal his passion for debunking "the now-common view that the history of science and Christianity is one of ongoing, inevitable conflict."
The BioLogos Forum is pleased to present this infographic about science and faith in America. The graphic uses data from Gallup Research, The New York Times, and the Pew Research Center to show what Americans currently believe about the origins of humans.
In addressing the subject of creation, William P. Brown contends that there is not one story but seven contained in the sacred texts of the Judeo-Christian tradition. The books of Genesis, Job, Psalms, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, and Isaiah each provide unique perspectives of the natural world.
In this video, Aaron Daly offers his thoughts on theistic evolution, creation, and how Christians should handle disagreements over these issues. Most of all, Aaron highlights the need for love in our discussions with one another, especially when we disagree.
Clearly explaining the science, the authors focus on areas where Christians agree. They also present the strengths and weaknesses of areas where Christians differ. -Amazon
In this six part series, Brian Godawa takes a closer look at cosmography and its relationship to the Bible. After defining cosmography as a theory that describes features of the heavens and the earth, he relates how his own views about the universe have shifted. He then continues to talk about the Mesopotamian cosmography that is so consistently reflected in Scripture. This view of the universe includes aspects such as the firmament, the pillars, the underworld, the heavens above, the watery abyss. He then explains how one understands these concepts in terms of modern scientific thought.
Robert C. Bishop explains that many believe two things about creation: that the universe was created out of nothing by God and that he accomplished this in six days. This overly simplistic view does not do the robust Doctrine of Creation (DoC) justice, and it unnecessarily hinders much of the dialogue between evolution and Christianity. Bishop "recovers" the DoC by exploring the limitations of creation, God's sovereignty in the process, God's Trinitarian activity and ongoing purpose for his creatures, and the salvation of creation in space and time.
Science does not overthrow the Bible. Faith does not require rejecting science. World-renowned scientist Francis Collins, author of The Language of God, along with fellow scientist Karl Giberson show how we can embrace both. -Amazon
To understand and apply Genesis 1 correctly, we have to consider issues of genre and intention. Too often these chapters are read as if they present a purely straightforward historical and even scientific account of cosmic and human origins.
It has been my experience that many Christians have not given sufficient thought to how the Old Testament was composed––that is, to the "human" side of the inspiration of Scripture.
We at BioLogos believe that God used the process of evolution to create all the life on earth today. While we accept the science of evolution, we emphatically reject evolutionism. Evolutionism is the atheistic worldview that says life developed without God and without purpose. Instead, we agree with Christians who adhere to Intelligent Design and Creationism that the God of the Bible created the universe and all life. Christians disagree, however, on how God created. Young Earth Creationists believe that God created just 6,000 to 10,000 years ago and disagree with much of mainstream science. Supporters of Intelligent Design accept more of evolutionary science, but argue that some features of life are best explained by direct intervention by an intelligent agent rather than by God's regular way of working through natural processes. We at BioLogos agree with the modern scientific consensus on the age of the earth and evolutionary development of all species, seeing these as descriptions of how God created. The term BioLogos comes from the Greek words bios (life) and logos (word), referring to the opening of the Gospel of John. "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. Through him all things were made."
(Updated on March 1, 2012)
What do today's pastors think about science? What views do they hold on creation and evolution and how strongly do they hold them? How do origins issues impact their ministries? These were just a few of the questions that motivated us at BioLogos to commission a survey of pastors on origins
In short, Lewis made it quite clear in his writings that he believed that there is no real conflict between mere evolution and mere Christianity.
In his sermon, Dave Swaim discusses the early chapters of Genesis that seemingly contradict scientific evidence, and he suggests that Christians have simply asked the "wrong questions" about this ancient text, which has led to warfare between the two. In light of this, Swaim wraps up his sermon with the three concluding points that he feels sums up the Biblical truth of creation: there is an all-powerful God, he has a perfect plan, and he has given us his love through Jesus Christ.
Brian Godawa looks at several aspects of ancient cosmography (descriptions of the universe) that also appear in the Bible, and what these aspects of the text mean for our understanding of Scripture.
Philosopher Robert Bishop explores the Biblical doctrine of creation, which he describes as "perhaps one of the most helpful pieces of theology for thinking about science", and describes why the doctrine needs to be recovered from narrower, contemporary interpretations of creation.
In these two brief video Conversations, John Walton discusses the problem of trying to integrate ancient scripture with our modern worldview.

Selena Gomez at the 2013 Billboard Music Awards in May. (WireImage)
According to Selena Gomez, yes. The "Come & Get It" singer told Ryan Seacrest in an E! special airing this Sunday that after she parted ways with the Biebs in November, it was difficult to deal with their breakup under the prying eyes of the press.
"Was there a point where it was almost unbearable?" Seacrest questioned. "Yeah. I'm sure you could actually see those pictures of me being, like, way stressed out about it," Gomez dished. "And it's hard, because what do you do? Do you just wanna sit in your house and hide and not go anywhere?"
The "Spring Breakers" star didn't spend too much time crying in her Kleenex at home. Instead, she leaned on her A-list pals like Taylor Swift for support and started working on her new album "Stars Dance," which hits shelves July 23.
Nonetheless, their very public split peppered news headlines for weeks. In May, the former Disney darling told InStyle Magazine, "It's uncomfortable that everywhere I go, people know. I don't like that. But Justin and I never really focused on the attention. You can't help who you date. So I wouldn't swear off that or say that's what I want again. I don't know. I'm a kid, and a breakup is normal. I have to go through the emotions and feel it out."
Justin Bieber posts this cozy Instagram on July 5. (Instagram)
Alas, all that hounding from the paparazzi after their breakup hasn't stopped Gomez from cozying back up to Bieber. The on-again, off-again pair has been spotted together on numerous occasions over the past couple of months, most recently at a Fourth of July party in Los Angeles where they looked mighty snuggly as they held beers (despite both being underage).
A day later on July 5, the "Believe" crooner posted a pic with Gomez on Instagram with the caption, "#heartbreaker."
Despite their "stressful" breakup, will Selena Gomez get back together with Justin Bieber?
Never say never.

Say it ain't so. I absolutely love Helen Sung. I caught her live one night a few years back at the Jazz Standard. She was on a double-bill with another up-and-coming pianist, Robert Glasper. She blew Glasper into the East River. I stayed for all four sets and you could tell that Glasper listened to Ms. Sung because he stepped it up considerably during his second set.
Marsalis had ended his last Blue Note studio album, From the Plantation to the Penitentiary, with a stunning spoken word piece, a concentrated burst of righteous anger that addressed with preacher-like fervor the divisive, post-Katrina state of the nation. On He and She, Marsalis's voice is more prominent throughout, prefacing just about every track with his words. Marsalis notes, "On He and She, it's a man talking, but the person who delivers the universal truth of the matter is a woman."
Really love this.
its something cool
Thanks for sharing

Foods That Helps in Burning Body Fat
Excessive abdominal fat around the stomach and the abdomen, commonly known as belly fat, is a problem for a big percentage of people in the society. It is no longer a problem confined to people who are beyond their thirties but it has become commonplace to all individuals who lead a sedentary lifestyle. Belly fat ruins our physical smartness causing mental distress and to some extent loss of self-esteem. To make matters worse, excess fat causes us to start looking older than we actually are. However, some of us can live with such kind of facts, but according to doctors the real threat of a big waistline is the fact that it increases your chances of falling prey to diseases such as diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure and stroke all of which are highly fatal. So what causes belly fat and what can we do to avoid it and thus effectively avert belly fat-related problems?
According to medical research, the major cause of belly fat, which essentially leads to abdominal obesity, is an imbalance in an individual's net energy. Simply put, an individual consumes more usable calories than one expend, wastes or discards by elimination. Expending of calories occurs through physical activities we engage in. Thus individual who practice a sedentary lifestyle are at a high risk of gaining belly fat. Other reasons can be low metabolism rates, in that an individual exercises and eats healthy but the body burns the excess fat so slow that this leads to fat storage. Among the people mostly affected by belly fat problem are men. This is because excess fat in men tends to be stored in the chest and around the belly area.
With the discovery of the health-related conditions that arise as a result of obesity, a billion-dollar industry on weight loss products and method has sprung up. The variety of fad options available today ranges from popular diets, supplements, exercise accessories to medical procedures such as liposuction and Botox procedures. However, you really don't have to pay this much or expose your body to risky and painful procedures to get rid of your belly fat. Below is a peek as to a list of natural, nutrient-dense, whole foods you can eat that will not only help you lose belly fat but also help you maintain a flat tummy.
Avocado, are fruits which are rich in mono-saturated fat which helps by increasing the body's metabolism rate. An increase in metabolism rate means that excess fat stored in your body is easily and quickly burned leading to a leaner posture. They also contain amino acid lecithin that prevents liver overload and balances weight.
According to a Brazilian weight study, people who ate three apples a day while dieting actually lost more weight than those who didn't. The apple contains pectin, a compound known to inhibit colon cancer. They are also a rich source of vitamin C, dietary fiber, beta-carotene, flavonoids, antioxidants, vitamins and minerals which are healthy and fat-free to eat.
Like apples, banana also contains pectin, a substance responsible for inhibiting colon cancer. The fruit also contains vitamins A, C, E, B6 and minerals such as potassium, calcium and magnesium. Depending on their sizes, these fruits contain calories between 75 and 135 calories, thus adequately providing you with healthy energy requirements.
According to studies conducted, watermelon has been found to exert quite a significant effect on plaque deposition as it altered blood lipids and lowered the risk of individuals developing belly fat.
Fresh Greens
Greens such as lettuce, spinach and kale helps fill you up while giving your body the enzymes it needs for full digestion. They are also high in fiber, highly nutritious on top of the fact that they don't raise your blood sugar.
Oat Groats and Other Cereals
Oat groats are unprocessed oats in their whole grain form. Eating oats and other whole grains such as wheat, barley, maize according to research can help increase weight loss. Whole grains such as oat groats are gluten-free, meaning they are less likely to cause belly bloating and facilitate quicker food digestion.
Other foods that are good for your body include celery, peanut butter, kelp noodles, sea food among many others. The trick here is that these foods serve you with the right amount of calories meaning that your body has less to burn which in the long run translates into weight loss and a slimmer physique. Want an extra helping hand with your weight loss? Don't worry Phen375 will help you.

elite = greatest (from the dictionary)
greatest > great (from the dictionary)
SB win = great (according to you)
Don't make the SB = elite (according to you)
Don't make SB > SB win (according to your logic) ???
Now do you realize why nobody can understand what the heck you are saying? Unlike you, I actually count the regular season games. The Jets have not won a division title over that stretch. I wouldn't hang my hat on one decent season (2010) and call my team elite. Making the conf championship does not make them a top 4 team. To think that, you'd have to assume that the best team wins every single game and THAT SIMPLY ISN'T TRUE. It is not uncommon for a lesser team to beat a better team. They even have a saying for it - "That's why they play the games!"
Everybody except for you seems to realize this.....

Furloughs of civilian employees as a result of the government shutdown cost the Defense Department at least $600 million in productivity, the Pentagons top financial officer said Oct. 17.
During a Pentagon news conference, DOD Comptroller Robert F. Hale said that in addition to the lost productivity, the shutdown generated a number of other costs that have yet to be calculated.
We built up interest payments, because we were forced to pay vendors late, Hale said. We had to cancel training classes, so we had to bring the people home on orders and then send them right back again.
The short-term deal signed by President Barack Obama late yesterday doesnt put the department on firm budgetary ground, Hale noted. With no flexibility to move funds between accounts, and accounts frozen at 2012 levels, he said, the department will have to be as fiscally watchful as it can.
If that's a vague answer, it's because things are kind of vague, he said. It's not a good way to run a railroad.
The temporary funding measure that allowed the government to reopen prevents DOD from starting new projects, Hale said. And one of the biggest problems, he added, is that it requires the department to buy the same ships it bought last year, because Congress appropriates by ship.
Its a ëGroundhog Day approach to budgeting, the comptroller said.
The budget uncertainty will have an impact on staffing levels and morale, he added. If the budget stays at the level authorized under the Budget Control Act of 2011, he said, were going to have to get smaller. Hale added that the department will try to meet the staffing goals through attrition, but that either way, it will mean fewer civilian employees.
I'm a lot more worried about the morale effects, Hale said. We need some stability, and we need to keep telling [employees] they're important, and then we need to show it through things like pay raises and no more furloughs, etc.
Without a change to the budget, there will also be military force reductions, Hale said.
I think all of us are aware that it will be a somewhat different, smaller military if we have to go through with those cuts, he added. We will be as prepared as we can, within the limits of time that we have, to be ready for a wide range of contingencies, because we know that's what we face.

I want to make sure I understand the use of the term "variable". If my son is trying to determine if you are more likely to roll a sum of at least 18 with 3 ten-sided dice or 5 six-sided dice, is this only one variable? He has a project due and he is not allowed to have more than one variable.
Thank you

Mention Tao Lin's name in a crowd full of concerned readers and struggling writers and watch the room explode. Your dad probably hasn't heard of him, but where Lin is known and read (or pointedly not read), the 27-year-old Brooklyn resident is perhaps the most divisive young writer around. Fans point to his deadpan take on the sort of young and smart folks who read Tao Lin books (Eeeee Eee Eeee, Shoplifting from American Apparel). Detractors make violent stabs in the direction of his transparently business-minded blog, his public dust-ups (Google Tao Lin + Kevin Sampsell some time) and his devotion to quotation marks. Richard Yates, his latest foray into the world of sad and funny people who spend a lot of time chatting online, confronts love in the time of Gmail, which is where I "spoke" to Lin.
WW: There is a list of questions you "feel interested in answering" on your blog. I am going to begin with one of those. What are some memorable moments you had while editing Richard Yates?
Tao Lin: The most memorable time of editing Richard Yates was maybe when I edited it something like 45 hours in three days. I was editing the galley and I had a deadline that I was committed to working "right up to"...so I used Adderall and caffeine on myself a lot and also ate only raw fruits and vegetables and maybe coconut water, I think, and would edit at the library like eight hours then go home and edit on my bed until "the sun came up," and not sleep, then I think stay up that day, then sleep for 15 hours, or something like that, for two or three times.
When you're chatting on Gmail with friends, do you steer the conversation into places you know will make good book material? And do your friends notice?
What I like in life and in books seems the same, to some degree, I think, so I don't try to manipulate things in real life into things I would like to write about. I write to connect with human beings...and to treat human beings as "tools" for writing seems to not make sense in terms of that.
Given some tweaking, I think Richard Yates could be successfully marketed as YA fiction. Have you considered this? The kind of money you might make writing YA books?
I don't know what YA fiction is, so I haven't considered that. The writing I like is in the "literature" section in bookstores, and I haven't read any books in the YA fiction section that I've liked a lot, so I naturally wouldn't write YA fiction, I think. At this point I think I know that I don't want to write anything for money.... The same amount of people probably write about vampires and make little to no money as the number of people who write "literary fiction" and make little to no money. People say things like "I should write a romance novel to make a lot of money," but if they wrote it they would still need to get a high-powered literary agent and have the same factors be in place that would make them a lot of money as would be needed to make a lot of money with a "literary" novel, I think.
Richard Yates was funded by private investors. How many people invested and how much money did you receive in total?
Six people invested $2,000 each for 10 percent of the royalties indefinitely. I expect my investors to make a profit definitely, especially in the long term (5+ years), and to make a "giant profit" in the very long term (25+ years). I don't think I will do this again. Ideally I'm focused, now, on trying to make money like a normal person, by getting a New York Times Review and NPR coverage and foreign sales and things like that. I'm not really sure how to get those things, though.
I've asked money/business questions because that is an aspect of being a writer that you foreground on your blog, and something most writers don't seem to want to talk about too much. How/why is it important and/or necessary for you to publicize all of the non-writing things that writers do?
When I tweet a link to an interview or something, I'm thinking of my finances and of doing something that seems fun. I publicize myself and my books so that in two or three or five years I can have "steady cash flow" possibly, but also because publicity is another "medium" which with to do things that feel exciting and interesting to me. Attention, to me, is almost 100 percent a means to the end of "steady cash flow," in most ways, in terms of my "literary career," I think.
GO: Tao Lin reads from Richard Yates at Reading Frenzy, 921 SW Oak St., 274-1449. 7 pm Tuesday, Sept. 28. Free.

Kosher Appetizers
|Pushcart Puppies
By June Hersh, The Kosher Carnivore, St. Martin's Press
The pushcarts of New York are famous for their soft salted pretzels and steaming franks. By combining the two, right in your kitchen, you are creating sidewalk paradise. When filled with plump beef franks, they are terrific for Sunday game day, or to make anytime with children as fun pick-up food.
For the dough:
For the egg wash:
Combine the water, sugar and yeast in the bowl of a standing mixer. Gently stir and let the yeast bubble for 10 minutes (if it doesnt the yeast is not fresh). After 10 minutes, add the salt, flour and margarine. Using the dough hook, combine the ingredients on low speed, and then increase to medium speed until the all the ingredients are well combined and the dough completely pulls away from the sides of the bowl, about 2 to 3 minutes. Turn the dough out onto your work surface and knead with your hands for just a minute. If the dough is sticky, add a little more flour, up to ¼ cup. Place the dough in a large bowl that has been lightly greased with vegetable oil. Cover with plastic wrap and let the dough rise in a warm spot for about 1 hour.
When the dough has doubled in size, turn it out onto a lightly floured work surface. Fill a shallow pot with 8 cups of water and baking soda and bring to a boil. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Divide the dough into 10 pieces. Dry the hotdogs with a paper towel; you dont want them to make the dough soggy. Take a piece of dough and gently roll or pull it to about 4 - to 5-inch circle. Roll the hotdog up in the dough, just like a blanket, you can tuck in the ends as you roll or let the ends of the hotdog peek out. Continue until you have prepared all 10 pieces.
Drop the wrapped hotdogs, one at a time, into the boiling water, and allow them to boil for 40 to 50 seconds each. Remove them with a slotted spoon, shake off the water and place on the lined baking sheet. Brush each hot dog with the egg wash and sprinkle with coarse kosher salt. Bake at 450 degrees, for 12 minutes or until the blankets are a golden brown. Serve whole, cut in half or sliced on the diagonal for smaller bites. Dunk liberally in spicy brown mustard.
Yield: 10 pushcart puppies
Recipes: Appetizers, Hot Dogs, Pretzel Dough, Meat, Kosher

Northwestern Takes Consolation Match from ETSU, 6-1
Sunday, September 02, 2001COOKEVILLE, Tenn. - Freshman Brittany Hung scored two goals and had an assist in the first half to help Northwestern (La.) State build a 4-0 lead by intermission and the Demons cruised to a 6-1 victory over East Tennessee Sunday afternoon in the consolation match of the Country Inn & Suites Invitational at Tennessee Tech. East Tennessee (0-2) got its goal on a breakaway by senior Lisa Gallagher at 70:31, before the Demon's added the final tally on a long shot by Marshall in the final minute of play. Northwestern dominated play and owned a 29-15 margin in shots, and 12-1 in corner kicks. Three Demons split time in goal, with starter Tiffany Swingler playing the first half and making six saves. ETSU starting goalkeeper Heather Sanden made seven saves in the first half, while Lauren Fannon played the second half and made five saves. Hung's pass to Nina Myullyluoma in the goal mouth led to a 1-0 lead for NWSU just 8:42 into the game, and 12 minutes later Hung slapped in a rebound on a shot by Myullyluoma for a 2-0 lead. Shannon Tenney took a header cross from Hillerie Marshall 10 minutes later and made it 3-0, and Hung finished the first half scoring at 38:20 with a pass from Kathryn Latiolais. Northwestern State (1-1) built the lead to 5-0 with a goal by Bryndie Maag at the 52:23 mark, with assists from Missy Payne and Jacqui Lawrence. Hung and junior defender Jill Lowe were named to the all-tournament team for the Demons, while ETSU's Andrea Brown and Kristin Redfern earned all-tourney honors.

We all know it: Green is the new black. One of the many manifestations of the environmentalist trend/movement is that labels and certifications designed for the environmentally-conscious consumer have been proliferating like mad. Even if you're savvy enough to know about LEED and FSC, there are dozens of lesser-known eco-labels. It's hard to derive information from a label you've never seen before, but you may be able to figure out which category of label you're looking at – government, proprietary, or independent agency. I'm taking this week's Is It Green to blitz through some of these and give a little context to those logos.
Lately green labels have become even more widespread and now companies have started creating proprietary labels to slap on their own products. In a previous Is It Green, I wrote about how HP is awarding some of its printers an "Eco Highlights" label outlining its environmental benefits. HP's competitor, Canon, does the same thing – except their label's design makes it look more like an award from an independent agency rather than a self-generated list of selling points. We decided to organize this guide into three main categories of labels to help differentiate between certifications issued by the government, industries and proprietary organizations, and independent agencies.
ENERGY STAR is a joint program between the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Department of Energy that certifies electronics and appliances, and now houses and buildings too. The program was started in 1992. The EPA and the DOE develop standards for energy use and award ENERGY STAR qualification to products based on data from the manufacturer, which is not independently verified. Although the program isn't perfect, and recently took major heat in Consumer Reports, its standards are consistent and the program is generally recognized as legit.
Is It Green?: Die-hard answer: No certification without verification! Pragmatic answer: At least you know you shouldn't buy a refrigerator that failed to be ENERGY STAR qualified.
USDA Organic
The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) developed a fixed set of standards that must be met by anyone using the "organic" label in the United States. These standards were issued in December 2000, after 10 years of research and development. USDA accredits other organizations, which then certify products, so there is a verification element. "Organic" means that antibiotics, genetic engineering, and most synthetic pesticides and fertilizers are out. It also means that animals must eat 100% organic feed with no growth hormones, and must have access to the outdoors (except for chickens).
Is It Green?: It is. Standards are consistent and independently verified, and strict rules about conflicts of interest are enforced. Watch out for the difference between "100% organic," "organic" and "made with organic ingredients."
Carpet and Rug Institute's Green Label and Green Label Plus
We mentioned the Carpet and Rug Institute's green labels in a previous Is It Green. Maid Brigade uses vacuums that have been certified by this entity. But who ever heard of the Carpet and Rug Institute, much less their green labels? It turns out that the labels refer to a carpet's VOC and other chemical emissions. The carpet, adhesives, cushions and vacuums are tested by an "independent laboratory" using a methodology developed with the help of the EPA.
Is It Green?: Yes, although indoor air quality is a small component of the environmentally sound life. Things like sustainable material sourcing, durability, and green company practices are more important to green living.
Future Friendly
The Future Friendly logo for household cleaning products is presented as an alliance between separate brands, but all the entities are under the Proctor & Gamble umbrella. The brands are engaged in public service campaigns that promote green practices like washing laundry in cold water.
Is It Green?: Yes. The company is making some good moves. But they are not very forthcoming about the fact that this is an in-house operation.
Cradle to Cradle
Cradle to Cradle certification is given out by the design and consulting firm McDonough Braungart Design Chemistry (MBDC), founded in 1995. The certification system evaluates products using a series of environmental and social criteria based on the principles of Cradle to Cradle design, developed by McDonough and Braungart and set forth in their book of the same name. The basic principle is that a product should be designed in such a way that it can be used for something at the end of its life – fuel, for example.
Is It Green?: Very much so. The standards are rigorous. They are publicly available. They get at the heart of the problem of sustainability for a culture of consumption.
Forest Stewardship Council
The Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certification is for timber and wood products as well as forest management. An international organization founded in 1993, FSC accredits other agencies which certify products and companies according to the FSC's standards. Standards for wood include: no genetic engineering, no harvesting in conservation areas, and no harvesting from conversion of natural forests.
Is It Green?: Yes, but the FSC has been criticized for conflicts of interest due to the fact that anyone can join the General Assembly that sets the rules, even if they have allegiances elsewhere. The certification has also been accused of blurring distinctions between natural forests and plantations, and shifting standards too frequently.
* This entry was eroneously listed under "government" and corrected by a commentor. Although the USGBC works closely with the government on legislation, and government buildings account for 10% of LEED projects, USGBC is a non-profit unaffiliated with the federal government.
The Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design rating system developed by the U.S. Green Building Council is rigorous and thorough. Although it is still being refined, and professional builders can easily find faults with it, it's very difficult to get a LEED-certification without working hard on things like energy efficiency, green roofing and air quality. There are four levels of LEED – Certified, Silver, Gold, and Platinum, with each one increasingly elite.
Is It Green?: Yeah! The LEED standards are tough and their legitimacy is well-established. The program definitely encourages green design, especially the provision that awards credits for innovation. I've interviewed builders who were involved in LEED projects, and they were all aiming for innovation credits – for example, one builder had used mirrors on top of another building he owned to reflect light to the solar panels on the new building.
There are too many labels to keep up with, but that shouldn't stop a determined shopper. In general, industry or proprietary labels are the most suspect, with a tossup between independent agencies whose independence is difficult to verify and government or consensus-based standards which may not be rigorous enough. A good resource is the Consumer Reports online database of eco-labels.

Have just read Cradle to Cradle – and think it is a must-read. It shows that business can be profitable – yet save the planet.

This post was very helpful to me in finding good info on the web about green and organic. We sell green and organic things from developing countries, and people often express to us they are worried about the distance it has to travel (and the gas that is consumed). Perhaps a blog or some suggested sites on that would be very helpful too.
Thank you,

There's a new, independent label: ecobly. This is a label that describes products that are made with sustainable materials that are sourced locally, many of them are 100% recycled. No Imports! No offshoring! All made in the US with green materials that are found within their region.

Cradle to Cradle is an awesome book. I did'nt know they had started a labeling program. A friend of mine is working them to help cities restructure the way subdivisions are built for maximum efficiency. I recommend that book to everyone. It is the future.

you make the point about green label plus that "indoor air quality is a small component of the environmentally sound life." You can say the same thing about energy star, which grants the label if a product used 20% less energy but doesn't care how it is done. In houses, the best way is to seal them up tight, but they do not demand fresh air or a heat recovery ventilator, so making a house energy star can in fact make it toxic. There is a lot more to green than just energy.

USGBC and LEED are NOT government agencies, one of the major faults with LEED is that people think that it is some sort of government stamp when it is just an independent agency. This in no way discredits the influence, importance, or message of LEED, but should be recognized by anyone involved in building under LEED standards.
From the USGBC website:
"The U.S. Green Building Council is a 501(c)(3) non-profit community of leaders working to make green buildings available to everyone within a generation."
