Preview | RecapLady Bucs down King in exhibition finale, 80-67
Sunday, November 07, 2010
JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (Nov. 7, 2010) - Four Lady Bucs scored in double figures, including senior Tara Davis (Murfreesboro, Tenn.) netting a team-high 20 points, as the ETSU women's basketball team downed King, 80-67, Sunday afternoon inside the ETSU/MSHA Athletic Center.
Twelve of Davis' points came at the free throw line as she went to the stripe 14 times, while also tallying eight assists, six rebounds, and five steals in 26 minutes of work. Meanwhile, freshman Destiny Mitchell (Bluffton, Ga.) finished 5-of-7 from the field to record 15 points and seven rebounds, and junior Gwen Washington (Manassas, Va.) scored her 13 points in the opening 20 minutes of play. Rounding out the scoring attack for the Lady Bucs was freshman Jasmine McIntosh's (Bowie, Md.) 10-point effort.
"We are a very young team, so we are going to have slow starts like we did today, because we are still trying to grow and get accustomed to playing at this level," said head coach Karen Kemp. "At one time we had three freshmen, a sophomore and a senior out there, so that's going to make me old really quick; however, I think if we can hang in there we have potential to be a very good basketball team."
Like coach Kemp said, the Lady Bucs got off to a slow start and King took advantage of it, as the Tornado connected on 7 of their first 12 field goals to take a 24-17 lead following Brooke Johnson's jumper at the 11:49 mark. Johnson wasn't done lighting it up as she sank a three-pointer one minute later, giving King its largest lead of the game, 27-18. However, that's when the Lady Bucs executed their half-court trap to perfection as ETSU posted a 17-2 run over the next 7 minutes, 37 seconds to take a 35-29 lead after Washington drained a jumper with 3:13 showing on the clock. From there, ETSU took a three-point advantage into the break, 37-34.
"I think once we turned to our half-court trap that gave us some more energy as we forced some turnovers and turned those into some easy baskets on the offensive end," added Kemp. "As I am still trying to figure out what pieces we have early on, I feel like we have to turn to that trap, because it gives us the spark we are looking for."
The Lady Bucs shot 39.3 percent (11-28) in the opening 20 minutes, while King finished 33.3 percent (9-27) despite opening the first eight-plus minutes hitting at 58.3 percent clip. Turnovers and fouls plagued both teams in the first stanza as they combined for 28 turnovers and 27 personal fouls. Fortunately, ETSU did an excellent job at the charity stripe by netting 14 of its 17 attempts, and King was 12-of-16.
ETSU stormed out of the gates to begin the second half as the Lady Bucs extended their three-point halftime lead to 18 (58-40) thanks to McIntosh's jumper at the 10:50 juncture of the contest. King didn't back down as they lowered the deficit to ten on two separate possessions, but with the scoreboard reading 60-50 in favor of the Lady Bucs at the 7:36 mark, ETSU rattled off the next eight points to take command with less than five minutes to play.
The Lady Bucs shot 40.3 percent (27-67) for the contest, compared to King's 36.8 shooting percentage (21-57). After being out-rebounded by six (23-17) at the half, ETSU did a better job crashing the boards as they won the battle, 45 to 41. ETSU, who scored 33 points off 31 forced turnovers, had 32 bench points.
King had three players in double figures with Ashley Deans leading the way with a game-high 26 points.
Coach Kemp and the Lady Bucs will now gear up for the season opener as they travel to Chattanooga on Friday, Nov. 12. Tip is set for 7 p.m. inside McKenzie Arena.
"Chattanooga will be ready for us since it is the season opener, but also because we had their number last season here in Johnson City," added Kemp. "Going down to Chattanooga is always emotional because that is where I spent seven years before I came to ETSU, so it's kind of like going home. But hopefully this time when I go back home we will come back to Johnson City with a victory."

Recipe by Ginger
"A glossy chocolate glaze to drizzle over a Bundt cake. It's also great on cookies and doughnuts."
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.
Show ingredients on sale
Sort stores by
Save money at local stores when ingredients are on sale!
Watch video tips and tricks
3/4 cup
semisweet chocolate chips
3 tablespoons
1 tablespoon
light corn syrup
1/4 teaspoon
vanilla extract
Great on a chocolate zucchini cake baked in a bundt. I made the glaze in the microwave using a pyrex glass measuring cup, at 45 seconds for the chocolate chips, butter and corn syrup, stirring until smooth then adding the vanilla. Tip: spray the measuring spoon with non-stick spray before measuring the corn syrup and it will slide right out.
I am torn on reviewing this recipe. The flavor I would give 4 stars but the texture would be a 2. I am a baker and thought I would try this on my chocolate cake that I sell. I made this 4 times before rating this recipe. Satiny should not be the name of this recipe. It is grainy and hardens more than I would expect. I know that oer cooking choc will cause it to have this effect but that is not the case I would recommend doubling the corn syrup. Great flavor just does not make for a smooth "satiny" glaze.

DO NOT USE A STOVE! Microwave 45 seconds, stir, microwave 45 seconds, stir. If needed, microwave in 15 second intervals, stir. EASY, EASY, EASY. Use it while it is warm!
I didn't have corn syrup so I substituted it with honey. I also didn't have a double boiler so I used a ceramic bowl in a saucepan of boiling water instead, and it still worked great! Easy and simple for amateurs like me!
In a word, excellent. This will be in my permanent recipe file and will be used over and over.
This recipe is great! I doubled the ingredients, tossed into a 4 cup glass measuring cup, microwaved for 30 seconds and stirred. It took about three rounds in the microwave before being smooth. The glaze hardens to a nice consistency. Thanks!!!!
Excellent texture and excellent flavor. I had the impression this would be a thin glossy liquid type glaze, but its more along the lines of a frosting. BUT STILL VERY GOOD!
Thanks Ginger.
This is one of my favorite recipes from this site. It is super easy and so versatile - I've used it on cakes (a boxed cake mix made in a bundt pan and this make a great, pretty, quick treat), doughnuts, ice cream, brownies, eclairs, cream puffs, garnish for chocolate dipped strawberries (using white chips instead of semisweets), and even cookies. This is super!

The real-life Bieber hits the red carpet. (Rabbani and Solimene Photography/WireImage)
Now the swaggy 18-year-old is headed to the animated land of Springfield.
The Biebs makes a cameo on Sunday's episode of "The Simpsons," in which he'll play himself trying to get into a talent show where Bart is performing.
Bieber recorded his voice for the long-running Fox sitcom way back in August, which seems like eons ago in the Bieber-verse. It was before he and Selena Gomez called it quits (the first time), before he collapsed during a concert, and before he was separated from his monkey in Germany.
However, as Beliebers will surely notice, the drawing of his character was done before he got his latest hairstyle.

The FIA president Jean Todt is looking to change the format of the Formula 1 Friday practice schedule and change the rules around in-season testing. Currently on Friday there are two sessions of an hour and a half each. Todt's proposal is that they break up the three hours of Friday into three session of 60 minutes each. The first session on Friday morning would be reserved just for test drivers.
The second change Todt is to the current ban on in-season testing. He is looking to add a multi-day program at Mugello in May before the start of the European season. The teams are thought to have agreed with this proposal already.
Formula One like every other sport/business needs to adapt to the times it is in. At the time of ban something needed to be done to bring cost under control, whether that was the correct place to cut is a topic for another time. These proposals have come about after a few years, they have had time to see the results and can now make a judgement on what has happened.
Testing as the teams return to Europe from the first fly away races make sense. Traditionally this is when the teams will bring a major upgrade to the cars. This will give them an opportunity to test in a controlled environment and they will be able to get a better assessment of the new parts, rather than doing it on a Friday morning at a Grand Prix. You can see why the teams would all agree on this without the usual fighting.
The change to a Grand Prix race weekend is a much bigger change, but it will be even more valuable. Having a session that is dedicated to test drivers with be a benefit on two fronts. First it will give the teams a chance to use a the first hour to test out new parts in a session during which there is sometimes very little running.
Second it will give young drivers a chance to get in a F1 car up to 20 times in a year. Most of the teams have at least a reserve driver and some have a test driver as well. Formula One has always been very difficult to break into, but over the last few years it has become even tougher if that's possible.
With no testing and only a couple of test days for young drivers, it is very difficult for a new driver to get use to the complexities of driving a modern F1 car. The days of hearing about an F3 driver getting into an F1 car for the first time and going quicker than the two regular drivers appear to be over. This wasn't a common occurrence before, but I can't remember the last time it happened recently.
Alguersuari who won the F3 championship in 2008 then moved up to F1 in mid-season 2009 and has been there ever since. He struggled until the middle of 2011 and is now showing the form that was expected of him. This is a long time for a team to wait for someone to come good. Red Bull invested a lot of time and money in him before he ever set foot into a F1 car. If they weren't patient with him, his career could have been over before the age most F1 drivers ever get started.
Not many drivers have this kind of opportunity with the structure of Red Bull ladder system. With the additional session for a third driver they can use this opportunity to be in the car and get settled before they have the pressure of being one of the two race drivers. The teams also benefit. If there is a problem with one of the regular drivers like this year with Perez. The team then has a driver who is ready to step in and is used to the team procedures and car. Sauber for example could have had two cars in Monaco rather than just the one.

http://www.nytimes.com/2012/12/06/wo...nted=1&_r=0&hpU.S.-Approved Arms for Libya Rebels Fell Into Jihadis Hands
WASHINGTON The Obama administration secretly gave its blessing to arms shipments to Libyan rebels from Qatar last year, but American officials later grew alarmed as evidence grew that Qatar was turning some of the weapons over to Islamic militants, according to United States officials and foreign diplomats.
No evidence has emerged linking the weapons provided by the Qataris during the uprising against Col. Muammar el-Qaddafi to the attack that killed four Americans at the United States diplomatic compound in Benghazi, Libya, in September.
But in the months before, the Obama administration clearly was worried about the consequences of its hidden hand in helping arm Libyan militants, concerns that have not previously been reported. The weapons and money from Qatar strengthened militant groups in Libya, allowing them to become a destabilizing force since the fall of the Qaddafi government.
The experience in Libya has taken on new urgency as the administration considers whether to play a direct role in arming rebels in Syria, where weapons are flowing in from Qatar and other countries.
The Obama administration did not initially raise objections when Qatar began shipping arms to opposition groups in Syria, even if it did not offer encouragement, according to current and former administration officials. But they said the United States has growing concerns that, just as in Libya, the Qataris are equipping some of the wrong militants.
The United States, which had only small numbers of C.I.A. officers in Libya during the tumult of the rebellion, provided little oversight of the arms shipments. Within weeks of endorsing Qatars plan to send weapons there in spring 2011, the White House began receiving reports that they were going to Islamic militant groups. They were more antidemocratic, more hard-line, closer to an extreme version of Islam than the main rebel alliance in Libya, said a former Defense Department official.
The Qatari assistance to fighters viewed as hostile by the United States demonstrates the Obama administrations continuing struggles in dealing with the Arab Spring uprisings, as it tries to support popular protest movements while avoiding American military entanglements. Relying on surrogates allows the United States to keep its fingerprints off operations, but also means they may play out in ways that conflict with American interests.
To do this right, you have to have on-the-ground intelligence and you have to have experience, said Vali Nasr, a former State Department adviser who is now dean of the Paul H. Nitze School of Advanced International Studies, part of Johns Hopkins University. If you rely on a country that doesnt have those things, you are really flying blind. When you have an intermediary, you are going to lose control.
He said that Qatar would not have gone through with the arms shipments if the United States had resisted them, but other current and former administration officials said Washington had little leverage at times over Qatari officials. They march to their own drummer, said a former senior State Department official. The White House and State Department declined to comment.
During the frantic early months of the Libyan rebellion, various players motivated by politics or profit including an American arms dealer who proposed weapons transfers in an e-mail exchange with a United States emissary later killed in Benghazi sought to aid those trying to oust Colonel Qaddafi.
But after the White House decided to encourage Qatar and on a smaller scale, the United Arab Emirates to ship arms to the Libyans, President Obama complained in April 2011 to the emir of Qatar that his country was not coordinating its actions in Libya with the United States, the American officials said. The president made the point to the emir that we needed transparency about what Qatar was doing in Libya, said a former senior administration official who had been briefed on the matter.
About that same time, Mahmoud Jibril, then the prime minister of the Libyan transitional government, expressed frustration to administration officials that the United States was allowing Qatar to arm extremist groups opposed to the new leadership, according to several American officials. They, like nearly a dozen current and former White House, diplomatic, intelligence, military and foreign officials, would speak only on the condition of anonymity for this article.
The administration has never determined where all of the weapons, paid for by Qatar and the United Arab Emirates, went inside Libya, officials said. Qatar is believed to have shipped by air and sea small arms, including machine guns, automatic rifles, and ammunition, for which it has demanded reimbursement from Libyas new government. Some of the arms since have been moved from Libya to militants with ties to Al Qaeda in Mali, where radical jihadi factions have imposed Shariah law in the northern part of the country, the former Defense Department official said. Others have gone to Syria, according to several American and foreign officials and arms traders.
Although NATO provided air support that proved critical for the Libyan rebels, the Obama administration wanted to avoid getting immersed in a ground war, which officials feared could lead the United States into another quagmire in the Middle East.
Seems like our President wants everyone to have guns except his own citizens.

Take care of your hands and nails. Here are ways to deal with nail-biting habits and what to do when your nails are brittle.
Nail biting remedies . . .
Nail-biting often starts in childhood, and can be an extremely hard habit to break. It is said that the easiest way to stop biting your nails is to become more relaxed, as nail-biting is often associated with pressure, anxiety, or nervousness. (See our related link above for natural remedies for stress and anxiety)
- Put sticky tape on each finger. By the time you chew through the tape, you probably will have worked off the impulse to chew your nails.
- Get a manicure at a salon, or do your own manicure. If you pay for your nails, or spend time on them, you're less likely to want to bite them off.
- Most people bite their nails subconsciously. To get yourself to think about what you're doing, give yourself a small reward for every nail that grows long enough to cut.
If your nails are brittle . . .
- Don't wash dishes with your bare hands. Wear dry, cotton-lined rubber gloves, available at most drugstores.
- Some fingernail polishes contain formaldehyde, which can irritate skin and nails. If you think your polish is causing problems, switch to a polish that doesn't contain formaldehyde, or avoid polish altogether.
- Eat Jell-O. Or you can mix your favorite flavor of Jell-O and drink it while it's still warm, if you don't feel like waiting to refrigerate it.
- Drink plenty of water. If you're dry, your nails will be too.
- Apply petroleum jelly to your nails at bedtime. Cover them with cotton gloves and your nails will retain more of the moisture.
If you have any tips, please post below!

Nutrition and Cancer - Nutritional Management of Constipation
Nutrition and Cancer - Nutritional Management of Constipation
Nutritional management of treatment side effects
There is more to nutrition during cancer and cancer therapy than getting enough calories and protein. The foods you choose also help you cope with side effects, such as loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, chewing and swallowing difficulties, and taste changes.
As each person's individual medical profile and diagnosis is different, so is his/her reaction to treatment. Side effects may be severe, mild, or absent. Be sure to discuss with your cancer care team possible side effects of treatment before the treatment begins.
Nutritional management of constipation
Some anticancer medications, pain medications, and other medications cause constipation, a condition in which the stool becomes hard and dry, making it difficult to pass. Waste matter that stays too long in the bowels so that too much water is absorbed from the stools will initiate constipation. The following suggestions may help to prevent or alleviate constipation:
Drink plenty of liquids, especially water - at least eight cups every day.
Drink a hot drink such as hot tea about one-half hour before your usual time for a bowel movement.
Check with your doctor to see if you can increase the fiber in your diet. If you can, try foods like: whole-grain breads and cereals, dried fruits, wheat bran, and wheat germ; fresh fruits and vegetables; dried beans and peas; and brown rice. Eat the skin on potatoes.
Try to get some exercise every day to help prevent constipation.
If you have not had a bowel movement for two days, call your physician, who may suggest taking a laxative or stool softener. High-fiber foods will help constipation, but check with your physician or registered dietitian before you eat these foods because there are certain types of cancer for which a high-fiber diet is not recommended.

|For years I've made this delicious soup with Italian Sausage, Zucchini, and Macaroni for family parties!
frozen chopped basil for this, (which is a good reason to be freezing basil for winter!)
Italian Sausage, Zucchini, and Macaroni Soup
(Makes about 6 servings, recipe created by Kalyn and served at many Denny family parties through the years.)
4-5 links hot Italian Sausage, cut into 3/8 inch slices
(I used 5th Street Grill Italian Turkey Sausage)
2-3 tsp. olive oil, for browning sausage
1 small onion, diced
1 T finely chopped fresh garlic (or garlic puree)
2 cups diced zucchini
6 cups homemade chicken stock (or 4 cans chicken broth, reduced slightly)
3 cups frozen slow-roasted tomatoes (or 2 cans diced tomatoes with juice)
1-2 cups water
2 tsp. dried oregano
2 tsp. dried basil
1 cup Dreamfield's macaroni or whole wheat macaroni (or less, or skip the macaroni and use a little more zucchini for a low-carb and gluten-free soup)
3 T minced fresh basil (optional, or you can use frozen basil)
freshly grated Parmesan cheese for serving soup
While sausage browns, combine chicken stock, roasted tomatoes, oregano, and basil in medium stock pot and start to simmer. When sausage is thoroughly browned, add it to stock mixture.
Put onions in pan you used to brown sausage and saute 3-4 minutes, until starting to soften. Add minced garlic and cook 1-2 minutes more. Add onions and garlic to soup. Deglaze the pan with 1 cup water and add to soup, then simmer 30 minutes.
Add pasta, check heat to be sure soup is at a very gentle boil and cook 15 minutes more. Stir in fresh basil if using and cook 5 minutes more. Serve soup hot, with freshly grated Parmesan cheese to add at the table.

En español | It is, by any measure, a fantastic sum: $21.7 trillion. No, that's not the latest GDP figure. That's how much money Americans now have set aside for their retirements, according to the Investment Company Institute. As the baby boom begins its long march out of the workforce (1 in 5 boomers, in fact, has already retired), Americans collectively are sitting on a jaw-dropping nest egg, dispersed in IRA accounts, employer-based 401(k) plans and pensions. The only problem: It's not nearly enough.
For boomers at retirement, it's both the best and worst of times. The good news is that so many are still here: In 1900, the average life span was 47; a 65-year-old today can expect to live nearly two more decades. "It's the dream of history," says the psychologist and gerontologist Ken Dychtwald, whose research firm Age Wave dissects the massive "maturing market" of aging boomers. "For thousands of years we searched for fountains of youth."
Now we've found it — or at least a minor tributary of it. We've also found the bad news, which starts with money. It's always money, as my mother would tell me.
See also: Are you saving enough for retirement?
First, a little history. In 1967 a third of those 65 or older lived below the poverty line; in 2012 only about 9 percent did. This historic reversal, due largely to Social Security, Medicare and the widespread reliance on defined-benefit pensions, might not last much longer. "A greater percentage of the elderly will be poor or near poor than in the last 40 years," warns retirement expert Teresa Ghilarducci of New York's New School for Social Research.
Why? Simply put, the boomers are not saving nearly enough to offset the disappearance of pensions. A new Fidelity report says that 48 percent of boomers are not on track to be able to afford basic expenses in retirement, a figure echoed by the Employee Benefit Research Institute (EBRI), which declared in 2010 that 47 percent of the oldest boomers were at risk.
Maybe this shouldn't surprise anyone: A generation that swore never to get old turns out to be not stellar at retirement planning. Combine that with the rocky economy and the individualistic way most of us are now forced to save, and the results might be financially catastrophic.
The story has been oft told. What we think of today as the way almost everyone plans for retirement began as a small shift in the tax code in the late 1970s, designed to benefit a few high-earning corporate executives by letting them put aside a percentage of their salary on a tax-deferred basis. But soon the Reagan administration decided that companies could offer the benefit to all employees. The 401(k) was born.
The 401(k) was meant to supplement, not replace, traditional pensions. Instead, companies began dropping their pension programs. Today, they've all but disappeared from the private sector: Only 10 percent of boomer-age workers can expect income from defined-benefit programs. Less than two decades ago, more than half retired with pension income.
What killed the pension system? It was hope, but hope mixed with desperation and a bit of greed. The rise of the self-funded retirement dovetailed with the great bull market of the 20th century, when the S&P 500 increased by more than 1,000 percent in nearly 20 years. That growth allowed many to believe a contradiction: that stock market gains were inevitable, and their own investing prowess was responsible for them.
And no one fell for it harder than the boomers, a generation that always believed in the power of me. Their prime working years coincided with the stock market bonanza. Many journalists predicted they'd reap retirement riches. "Investing in a 401(k) is a pretty easy way to make a million bucks by the time you retire," Kiplinger's Erin Burt wrote in October 2007.

LAS VEGAS, NV - It took only 31 seconds for Chad Mendes to end Cody McKenzie in UFC 148 and help erase the memory of the knockout loss he suffered against Jose Aldo, in his last fight.
The featherweight Mendes (12-1), who fights out of Sacramento, caught McKenzie's right kick and countered with a hard, clean right punch to the mid-section, which caused McKenzie to drop instantly. He followed with a series of vicious blows to McKenzie's head before the referee put a stop to the fight in the first round.
"I figured it would more of a ground battle," Mendes said following the fight. "Luckily, I caught thak kick and saw that body wide open, so I just took it."
In the post fight press conference, UFC President Dana White said Mendes completely outclassed McKenzie (13-3) and it was up to the organization to give him more worthy opponents.
Coming into this fight, Mendes said it was a goal to have a dominating performance after being knocked out by Aldo's vicious knee in January.
"I felt like I needed to make a statement coming in here, after that loss," said Mendes. "I feel like I'm one of the best featherweights in the division. I definitely needed to make a statement, and I think I did that tonight."
Mendes admitted he'd like another shot at the champion Jose Also (21-1) and attempt to avenge his loss.
In the night's main event, middleweight champion Anderson Silva (32-4) stopped Chael Sonnen (27-12) at 1:55 of the second round in the rematch of their epic battle in UFC 117 in 2010.
Silva has now successfully defended his UFC title 10 times and has now won 15 consecutive fights.
Similar to the first fight, Sonnen took Silva to the ground early in the first round and kept him there to easily win the round on the scorecards.
A different story in the second round, as Silva punished Sonnen against the cage, when Sonnen failed to land a spinning backfist. Silva retaliated with a devastating knee to Sonnen's chest, followed by a flurry of strikes, forcing the referee to stop the fight.
In 2010, Sonnen kept Silva on the canvas and grew fatigued by beating him. In the closing minutes of the final round, Silva slipped Sonnen into submission by a triangle armbar.
Following the fight, White called Silva the greatest fighter in the history of mixed martial arts.
Forrest Griffen was declared the winner over Tito Ortiz in a unanimous decision that drew a lot of controversy on social media, and inside the MGM Grand Garden Arena. It was the third meeting between the former light heavyweight champions.
It would also be Ortiz's final fight of his career.
San Jose's Cung Le defeated Patrick Cote for his first victory in the UFC, Damian Maia stopped Dong Hyun Kim with a first round TKO and Mike Easton beat Ivan Menjivar in a decision to open the pay-per-view card.

Police are investigating a stabbing that occurred early Sunday morning at a Waldorf club.
Based on preliminary information from the Charles County Sheriff's Office, officers were called to Club Icon in Waldorf for the report of a stabbing.
When officers arrived, they discovered a 24-year-old man from Washington, D.C., with multiple stab wounds to his upper body.
He was transported to a hospital with critical injuries, according to preliminary information.
Sheriff's office spokeswoman Diane Richardson said a motive is unclear at this time, and it has not been determined who is responsible for the stabbing.
Anyone with information about the incident is asked to contact Sgt. K. Moody at 301-932-2222.

Thank you for visiting our website!
My name is Carol Gray. I am the President of The Gray Center.
The Gray Center for Social Learning and Understanding (later operating for a short time under the name Autism and Social Learning International) will be closing soon. We have thoroughly enjoyed working to improve the lives of people with autism and their families through information and referral, conferences and workshops, support groups, and our bookstore.
We also have valued our role as the exclusive and official home of Social Stories. As many of you know, a Social Story accurately describes a situation, skill, or concept according to defining criteria, with a content, format, and voice that is descriptive, meaningful, and physically, socially, and emotionally safe for the person for whom the Story is developed (referred to as the Audience). The Social Story information on this website is moving soon to a new address, CarolGraySocialStories.com.. There, an unprecedented and continually expanding amount of Social Story information, related links, and resources will be available.
The Gray Center has historically shared the Social Story philosophy, responding to autism one person at a time. It is not surprising then, that, along with The Gray Center, many of you joined us in wishing Skylar, age 9, a Happy Birthday. Skylar has Asperger's Syndrome. She invited her classmates to her birthday party. No one came. Your response with cards, gifts, and good wishes was overwhelming and very important to Skylar. She has decided that '…no one should have a birthday like that.' Skylar and I will be working toward that goal in the future at CarolGraySocialStories.com. Skylar, her family, and those of us at The Gray Center will long remember your thoughtful response to her birthday.
There are many people, past and present, who have been an important part of our journey as an organization. On behalf of The Gray Center Board of Directors, I want to express our appreciation for the talents and contributions of our former Executive Director, Laurel Falvo, our current administrative assistant, Melissa Andrews, and our staff members past and present. We've always had the very best people on our Advisory Board: Tony Attwood, Linda Hodgdon, Alyson Beytien, Beverly Bishop, Sam Kennedy, Kathy Maximiuk, and Barbara Newman. In addition, we are grateful for the time and talent of our former Board members, Liane Holliday Willey, Bruce Mills, and Angela Telfer, and our legal advisor, Kenneth Tiews. There are many others who have helped us as well; it is impossible to mention all of them. Last and certainly not least, though, we want to thank each of you for contacts, interactions, interest in our activities, loyal use of our bookstore, and support over the years.
We are still completing outstanding transactions as we work to close the books for the last time. If you have a current order, etc., we will be working with you as usual. Also, if you have at any time made a donation to The Gray Center, please know that all of our remaining funds and resources will be donated to a non-profit organization that serves individuals with autism, where your gifts to us will continue to have a positive impact.
Personally, I look forward to working alongside you via the soon to open Social Story website and other projects in the future. There's still work to do! You may contact me at firstname.lastname@example.com
I wish you the very best,
Carol Gray, President

Hi Lori
now that is so simple, it is good to have these reminders to prompt us to prepare things we might have forgotten about...
and also this perks up chicken nicely...It can get a bit boring...
To serve this chilli chicken may I suggest some sliced fresh mango as an accompaniment...
Happy days

Interesting recipe and I'm sure Mr. Tastebuds would love it. I might make some Snake Bites for this Sundays football game!
I have one cast iron pan and I've never heard about cleaning it with salt. Thanks so much for this info..salt here I come!

That looks delicious but I'd have to make it a little less "hot"!! I like how you actually showed how to clean the cast iron pan.

Snake bites, huh? I would be adding my New Mexico red chile powder, that's for sure! Think I'll have to do this over the weekend. I have to use my cast iron skillet on the grill- my smooth top cooktop doesn't quite cut it for this skillet. hmmm... may have to season it up a little- it's been a while since I've cooked in it. Ethel has been too busy doing other things, like sneaking over to the neighbor's yard to cut their ornamental grasses for her fall arrangements. In fact, Ethel might be enlisting HER local Lucy to accompany her tomorrow nite to get more. Lucy can hold the flashlight while Ethel uses the pruners...

I have heard of these but never tried them. They sound delish albeit hot! Yes, cast iron pans are great. I am sorry that I donated mine when I moved--no room in this kitchen for anything but the basics.

No Substance to Wacker Bid Talks
4:30 AM MST | February 11, 2010 | Natasha Alperowicz
Press reports citing market talk that Wacker Chemie's major shareholder Peter-Alexander Wacker has been approached by BASF seeking a stake in the company, have been dismissed by people familiar with the situation. Both Wacker and BASF declined to comment. The Wacker family owns just under 70% of Wacker Chemie's stock with the remaining 30% listed on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange. "I don't see why Wacker's major shareholder should consider such a move, there is no strategic reason for this," one source tells CW. There is also no financial reason for...

Okay brothers and sisters!
Are you with me?
Are you with us?
Time to change things once and for all !!!
We've been saying this for years and years. My friend Stephen Silver is sayin it loud and clear.
Let's get the word out...
Re: NO MORE WORK FOR FREE !!!
This is great! I remember back in 1999 all of us at The Animation Academy having this conversation all the time. We would all get riled up. Stephen was there, Jose Lopez, Thomas Perkins, Chance Raspberry, Taso Gionis, who else? Philip Felix, Aaron Horvath...anyways, I'm going down memory lane here...but I'm stoked to see and hear Stephen is still proclaiming the sentiment! Good stuff!
Re: NO MORE WORK FOR FREE !!!
Steve Silver at times in the video literally quotes stuff I've been saying at the Academy years ago when he was there and still to this day I say it. At least there's someone out there in the mainstream animation here in LA that's making a stand.
Ain't gonna see that from the good ol boys and girls at the Animation Guild now are ya?
Good for Mr. Silver! With him on the way on this!
Check it out... His video has gone viral and he has 30,837 views in just 3 days. That's 28,000 more than when I first posted the day before!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=pl ... WXYoD7wfOs
I Remember...couldn't agree more! =)
What an awesome statement and stand for what is right, Stephen!! First off, thank you for recording and sharing this (and Congrats on the viral response!)
Second, thank you Charles for posting it on AN, bringing it to the forefront of the industry, and sharing/teaching us this mentality from the get-go!!! Snakebite, I haven't forgotten you, brother. ;D Thank you for including me in your recollection of The Animation Academy's Golden Age (I'm still so glad to have been a part of it!)
I have just created a brand new Chance Raspberry Newsletter mailing list, and went back in last night to add this video to its debut issue. I also plan to post a followup to this video in some form (video, podcast, e-article, etc.) in my Feb issue of the newsletter.
If you guys or anyone else would like to see what's in store and keep the ball rolling out to all new subscribers, you can SIGN UP here: http://eepurl.com/ue5xb. Thanks again, brothers! NO MORE FREE WORK!! =D

Re: NO MORE WORK FOR FREE !!!
How can I forget you bro?? you're one of the real ones. Much respect and I remember those days fondly. We all are a force. The alumni from those days are strong..and C is right. Stephen is practically echoing everything we all shared with each other then. Philip Felix was the first to expose me to those ideas and then in 1999 he introduced me to the Warlord!
In regards to Stephen it Makes me happy he still feels this way! Go Stephen go!!
(And another) AMEN to that, bro! =)
What a time capsule of Glory Days!! I truly wish every artist could experience what we had then and there. I know everyone finds their own version of it...but not always. We are truly blessed and the fact that we got such insight early on is a gift! Thank ALL you guys for sharing that knowledge, strength, and MAGIC with me. That's right, there was magic in those halls...stop working for free or we just might put a spell on you!!! ;F
I wonder...
Would it be considered "work for free" when artists at union studios work free overtime?
Is it "work for free" when they want an artist to work on weekends for free?
How much of the "work for free" issues at the studios involve union studios?
Is it "work for free" when interns work for free?
Re: NO MORE WORK FOR FREE !!!
Lets see how deep people are willing to go to address the big issues.
This video is great. no doubt. But in my world its a conversation thats been around for awhile...This issue goes deeper then not working for free.
There's other mentalities out there that are more damaging then working for free.
Howa bout don't let an organization tell you how much your worth? Howa bout, don't pay for a service that is a monopoly on getting certain jobs in the industry...A service that doesn't believe you can change law in order to enrich the community and evolve policies...
Howa bout, acknowledge where you got your education? Your awareness...
Positivity comes in many forms. Sometimes two planets colliding is love...forming new systems and structures to support life...ok, I'm getting a little abstract...but not really.
We're doomed to repeat ourselves unless we learn..and we won't learn unless we share. Stop believing that pointing out the problems, even passionately, is negative. Thats part of the lie and perpetual abuse. After all I got fucked the most by people with fake smiles.
Re: NO MORE WORK FOR FREE !!!
I wonder if Steve Silver will be blacklisted because of this video. What do you think? Will the studios stop passing work to him? Will they drop him from their roster of artists?
Cartoonbrew and the Animation Guild have both blacklisted AN and we were getting this message out long before Stephen Silver. They happily embrace my student but they think I'm the enemy and hate my guts.
What a friggen industry.
Working for free is a symptom of a deeper problem but I can see that the message is getting through. I can tell from the attitude of students at the Academy this week. Don't work for free has become a mantra that's being taken much more seriously. The freeloading users out there are going to find it much more difficult to bamboozle artists.
If you're gonna work for free do your own project and crowdfund it. When these guys get a budget and can pay you then talk to them. Stop wasting your time and energy and resources on these jokers. Have some self respect and respect for your community.
Don't work for free anymore.
Re: NO MORE WORK FOR FREE !!!
Simple equation:
There's no excuse for a company not to have working capital nowadays.
Re: NO MORE WORK FOR FREE !!!
I get calls and emails all the time from people and groups looking to find student artists to work for free or for credit or for very little compensation.
I noticed that after Stephen's video went out the number of requests drastically dropped. I don't know if it's a coincidence or something that's associated with the don't work for free movement, but when I do get requests for artists I really emphasize that there's no way anyone will work on their project without compensation and I won't forward their requests without compensation associated with it. I was doing this before but I'm even more emphatic about now.
See that ladies and gents!
We can change things if we want to!
We can affect any kind of reform we want if we simply put our minds to it and UNIFY !!!

Softball Sweeps North Carolina A&T, 3-2 and 21-0
Tuesday, April 09, 2002Johnson City, Tenn. (Apr. 9, 2002) -- The East Tennessee State softball team snapped a six-game losing streak by sweeping North Carolina A&T, 3-2 and 21-0, in a doubleheader Tuesday afternoon from Metro-Kiwanis Park in Johnson City. Game one proved to be a pitchers' duel between Buccaneer starter Tiffany Vandergriff (Sale Creek, Tenn.) and Aggie starter Cheretta Stevenson. All of the scoring in game one came in the third inning. The Aggies (7-25) scored two runs in the top of the inning, to take a 2-0 lead. North Carolina A&T first baseman Adrienne Shuler led off the frame with a walk and scored on a double by Cheretta Stephenson. Stephenson would then cross the plate on a double by third baseman Sibol Loftin. The Bucs (16-22) responded quickly by scoring three runs of their own to take the lead. Sophomore catcher Sheryl Clark (Bradenton, Fla.) led off the bottom of the third and, following a walk to senior Melanie Collins (Greeneville, Tenn.), scored on a single up the middle by sophomore first baseman Miranda Byerly (Candler, N.C.). The other two runs of the inning would come as a double by sophomore outfielder Rhea Holler (Peoria, Ariz.) scored Collins and the subsequent error scored Byerly. Vandergriff (4-6) did the rest, limiting the Aggies to no runs and two hits over the final four innings. She went the distance, allowing two earned runs on six hits, striking out five. North Carolina A&T starter Charetta Stevenson (5-8) took the loss, allowing two earned runs on nine hits, striking out two. The Buccaneer bats awakened in game two, as their 21 runs broke the team record and their 16 hits tied the team record set on Apr. 21, 2001 against UNC Wilmington. East Tennessee State got to Aggie starter Ebony Stevenson (0-4) early, plating a run in the bottom of the first inning. Vandergriff doubled to lead off the frame and scored on a double by the next batter, freshman center fielder Danielle Spetar (Knoxville, Tenn.). The Buccaneers blew open the game in the second inning, sending 18 batters to the plate and scoring 14 runs. The big hit of the inning was a grand-slam home run by freshman third baseman Lindsay Lane (Erwin, Tenn.). Holler and Spetar also homered in the frame for ETSU. The Bucs also got the benefit of seven walks in the inning. ETSU freshman shortstop Mary Beth Hazelwood (Knoxville, Tenn.) led off the bottom of the fourth with a single, and advanced to third on an error. She scored on a sacrifice fly by Byerly to make the score 16-0. The Bucs scored five more runs in the bottom of the fourth to provide the final margin of victory. Freshman outfielder Nikki Johnson (Johnson City, Tenn.) scored Clark with a single to center. Johnson scored on a double by sophomore infielder Julia Chance (Knoxville, Tenn.). Freshman outfielder Amy Moore was the next batter, and hit her fourth home run of the season. The final run scored as Lane doubled in Collins. Every Buccaneer player that came to the plate had at least one hit. Clark had three doubles and Lane drove in a team-high six runs. Buccaneer freshman starter Courtney Jenkins (Knoxville, Tenn.) (7-7) was almost flawless, pitching a complete game, allowing just two hits and striking out eight. Ebony Stevenson got the loss, allowing 16 hits and nine earned runs in four innings of work. The Bucs return to action on Thursday at 2 p.m. as they travel to face Gardner-Webb in a non-conference doubleheader.

Best Burger in Vancouver - what's your vote?
- i
- islandgirl
Hi everyone,
Looking for a great burger in Vancouver (preferrably in Vancouver proper, not burnaby, richmond, etc).
So far I've been recommended to:
Red Onion
Moderne Burger
Any thoughts/comments/contributions?
I KNOW it's an American chain, but I ended up at Fatburger (on Denman) twice when I was in Van for a week earlier this month. It was absolutely incredible, the best burger I've had anywhere since the demise of Fatso's in Toronto (that was at St Clair and Bathurst if anybody wants to lay a wreath for me).
re: John Manzo
For all you Fatburger fans, I note that a new outpost is going in on Broadway across from Mountain Equipment Coop. Too dark and rainy to investigate further but there is some signage...
re: grayelf
is it just me or do others find fatburger really overpriced
re: vandan
That's funny, vandan, I was sorting through receipts just now and found mine for Fatburger (we went before David Sedaris as it was handy). Do y'all think $12.98 is expensive for a bacon cheeseburger, fries and a refillable soft drink? This was only the second time I'd tried FB. The other time was takeout with rings and shakes added in. It seemed pricier that time, and also wasn't as good. This visit, while hardly revelatory, was a serious notch above any other "fast food" burgers I've had, and there was tons of food.
re: grayelf
I have been to Fatburger on a few work-related lunches. It isn't the best in town, but definitely better than most places.
My new fave is Hamilton Street Grill's burger platter ($12 at lunch). You can ask for your patty to be done Medium Rare - which a rarity (pun intended) in this city.
Hamilton Street Grill
1009 Hamilton Street, Vancouver, BC V6B 2R9, CA
re: vandan
How are the fries at HSG these days? Three v bad experiences there but a good while ago...
I don't drink soda either but they do have iced tea and lemonade FWIW at FB. I'd still rather go to Moderne Burger :-).
re: grayelf
fries weren't the best i've had but they did hit the spot
re: grayelf
If you are super nice you can actually ask for Onion Rings, if not super busy they will prolly make them for you :)
re: fmed
Suanne always forbade us to have burgers made medium rare. That was from the safety side of her speaking. She made an exception when we had the $28 burger at DB Bistro Moderne because the waiter said that they made the patties in-house. I guess at a place like Hamilton Street Grill, they grind their beef in-house too.
re: chowtimes
Another safe place to order medium-rare is Refuel. Also Vera's has a sign that says "Pink is good" or something like that. (I'm not a fan of their food though).
re: fmed
I have had the Refuel burger twice. The first time, I ordered it medium-rare, and it came back pinker than I expected (near-translucent in the middle) and I was a bit hesitant (despite the fact that I am regularly a blue-rare steak eater)... but once I confirmed that this was intentional (they said something about the appearance being partially due to the dry aging and the fattiness of the meat), I really enjoyed the burger. It had a great texture and was deliciously rich and moist.
The second time, however, the burger wasn't as good. I'm not sure if it's because I forgot to specify the doneness, but it was much more cooked, and the surface was drier and crustier and quite quite salty.
I have found that Refuel in general tends towards the slightly salty side.
re: grayelf
Fatburger opened today.
re: ck1234
It looked close to finished when I went by on Friday -- that sure took a long time.
re: goremay
I agree. Feenie's has an amazing burger. Highly recommended!
re: Pez
my vote goes to moderne burger, despite the feenie-lovers. just keep on walking down the street, past feenies, over to modern burger! i just love how the patty is pure steak (that they ground themselves) without any seasonings or fillers--just the pure taste of meat! and i love their fries to death...just crispy enough on the outside, creamy on the inside.
re: flowbee
Between Vera's (on Denman) and Moderne Burger, I much preferred Vera's. Please keep in mind that these two burgers are very different.
Moderne Burger is the "fresh" style with lettuce, tomato, onions, mayonnaise, house sauce and the option of adding: cheddar, swiss, bacon, mushrooms and home made BBQ sauce.
Vera's is the "good & greasy" style with ad-ons like: fried eggs, chili, hotdog, salami.
I prefer the latter style so naturally Vera's was my preference.
re: Roberto7
I agree Vera"s has the best burgers. Since Feeny was pushed out of his own namesake restaurant and replaced by a guy from Vegas the food is not nearly as good . no love
re: flowbee
moderne burger never ground their own meat
re: young lion
Has Moderne Burger finally re-opened?

Alaska is the largest US state in area and larger than 18 sovereign countries. It is also the least densely populated of the 50 United States, with approximately 723,000 citizens. In addition to all the standard state government services, the State of Alaska provides communications services—including phone, television, and radio—to the majority of its rural communities. The state's Department of Administration manages the entire statewide area network for all 16 Alaska state agencies as well as sub-agencies and state corporations. Within the Department of Administration, the Alaska State Security Office (SSO), part of the department's Enterprise Technology Services (ETS) group, is responsible for ensuring the security of this network and the approximately 20,000 workstations, 5,000 servers, and terabytes of Alaskan citizens' information associated with it.
Staying Ahead of Constantly Changing Security Landscape With Limited Budget
"Covering such an immense geographical area with extremely remote communities definitely compounds our security challenge," explains Darrell Davis, chief security officer for the State of Alaska. "However, our biggest security obstacle is the same one facing most, if not all, state governments—namely, trying to stay abreast of the ever-morphing security landscape in the face of limited budgets that must be projected 18 to 24 months in advance."
Like many organizations, the State of Alaska chose the "industry-best" path, trying to implement what they believed to be the best of numerous security tools, but Davis and his staff of seven additional SSO full-time employees found it impossible to maintain and keep current these various security systems, let alone obtain real-time, actionable information from them. Consequently, the state began searching for a better security approach. Already consolidating vendors in other areas and pooling resources under ETS to achieve economies of scale, the state wanted to extend this model into the realm of security. In addition, the state placed high priority on centralized management so that, as Alaska SSO Security Analyst Daniel Wolf puts it, "We wouldn't have to continually throw resources at managing a bunch of disparate systems and trying to piece them together to get intelligent information out of them."
A More Cohesive Security Approach and True Force Multiplier
After outlining specific criteria for security functionality, the State of Alaska solicited multiple major security vendors for proposals. In addition to centralized management, factors for augmenting or replacing the state's existing security functionality included: mobile device management, security for virtual environments, database monitoring, application whitelisting and change control, more advanced risk analysis, security information and event management (SIEM), and network access control. After evaluating vendor responses, the state chose to completely overhaul its security approach, replacing their current solution set of solutions from seven vendors with an enterprise license agreement for multiple McAfee software and hardware solutions. All the McAfee solutions are integrated in a unified security approach through the Security Connected framework and managed centrally with the McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator (McAfee ePO) central management console.
"Each of the major McAfee components in and of itself provides critical security functionality," confirms Davis. "However, what's distinctive about McAfee is that each of these solutions works in concert with and amplifies the effectiveness of the other solutions—plus, with [McAfee] ePO, they can all be managed with a single pane of glass. The end result is a true force multiplier."
Millions of Dollars in Cost Savings, Plus Flexibility and Predictability
"We calculated that partnering with McAfee saves the State of Alaska $3.8 million over what we would have spent during the next three years," confirms Davis. Consolidation of multiple security vendors reduces costs in multiple areas, from contract management through technical administration. For instance, the state no longer has to spend time negotiating contracts with many different security vendors, and the cost of training and maintaining security solutions is considerably reduced. The state also benefits from additional purchasing power; instead of being a small customer to multiple vendors, it is now a large, important customer to a single vendor with McAfee.
"Furthermore, an enterprise license agreement with McAfee enables us to accurately project security expenditures for the next six years, as well as giving us the flexibility to adapt and grow our security as needs change over time," adds Davis. "The ELA also eliminates the time, hassle, and cost of administering proposals every time the state needs to add new security functionality."
" ... what's distinctive about McAfee is that each of these solutions works in concert with and amplifies the effectiveness of the other solutions—plus, with [McAfee] ePO, they can all be managed with a single pane of glass. The end result is a true force multiplier."Darrell Davis,
Chief Security Officer Department of Administration, State of Alaska
"We fully expect to roll out all of our acquired McAfee security solutions, and, thanks to McAfee ePO, to manage them all efficiently, with the same staff we already have in place," attests Davis. Previously the eight full-time employees of the Alaska State Security Office had a difficult time managing less than half that many disparate security systems. "With McAfee, we are able to obtain vastly improved security without having to increase manpower," says Davis.
Enhanced Security Posture through Integration
The integration of McAfee solutions into a cohesive management monitoring and reporting system dramatically improves the State of Alaska's overall security posture across its network, systems, and data. For example, McAfee Network Threat Behavior Analysis software augments the state's McAfee Network Security Platform intrusion prevention appliance so that a security analyst looking at the McAfee ePO console can easily determine the severity and priority of an alert triggered by McAfee Network Security Platform. Add to these two solutions McAfee Vulnerability Manager, and the analyst can immediately discern which systems are vulnerable to the threat and which are not—all from the same console. "Having the three solutions working together in concert expands our perception of a potential threat and puts it into context so that we can prioritize it and quickly respond with the appropriate action— whether that means immediate remediation, mitigation, or doing nothing," describes Alaska SSO security analyst Daniel Wolf.
McAfee Global Threat Intelligence (McAfee GTI), a cloud-based, real-time reputation service, also enhances the data aggregated in McAfee ePO. "Thanks to McAfee GTI, I can take a suspect IP address and find out with just a few clicks in [McAfee] ePO who or what has been associated with that IP address in the past," explains Wolf. Before implementing McAfee solutions, he had to manually track down that type of information. "The upshot of having integrated solutions, [McAfee] GTI, and central management is an increased ability to achieve situational awareness and remediate with countermeasures already in place. We are already using the McAfee solutions to deal with zero-day and other threats before they become major issues," says Wolf.
Long-Term Partner for Long-Term Stability
The State of Alaska has rolled out a handful of McAfee solutions in its data center in Anchorage and is in the process of deploying several more McAfee solutions? As issues arise, SSO administrators have been extremely pleased with McAfee Platinum Support. "Every time we have had an issue, McAfee has responded rapidly and resolved the issue," says Wolf. "McAfee Support engineers have gone beyond assisting with the issue, even taking time to point out various features and operations that enhance the system in question."
"When we went looking for a new security approach, we focused on finding a partner, not just a solution, because long-term stability is absolutely critical, especially for security," concludes Davis. "We wanted a vendor that is mutually vested in securing our enterprise and will give us the attention we need. We believe we have found that kind of partner in McAfee."

"We're targeting half of our school funding formula for those who have chosen to leave public schools," said Sen. Skinner. "We've done a lot for the 9,000 kids and 18,000 parents at the expense of the over one million students in public schools in Indiana. This voucher bill could potentially be the financial ruination of public schools in Indiana."
Under the measure, students would no longer be required to attend a public school before opting out and receiving money for private education. Language in the proposal also expands eligibility to students who merely live in a corporation with schools receiving low ratings. Previous law required students to attend public school for one year, before being eligible for a voucher. Over the next two years, the program is expected to siphon over $100 million from the state's public school corporations.
State Senator Earline Rogers (D-Gary), Ranking Minority Member on the Senate Education Committee also rose in opposition to the bill, voicing concern over the undetermined amount of tax-payer dollars that would be diverted from funds set aside for public education. Sen. Rogers says she hopes that in final negotiations, significant changes will be made to level the playing field for all Hoosier students.
"As we move along we will either eliminate the need for the bill or at least have something in the bill that will spread out the impact it has on our local school corporations," said Sen. Rogers.
Senate Democrats unanimously opposed the measure and were joined by nearly a dozen Republicans. HB 1003 was narrowly approved by the Senate, 27-23 and now returns to the bill's original author for approval of any changes made throughout the process.
