NEW WILMINGTON, Pa. - The Westminster College football team posted a 3-6 record in 2012 and a 2-6 mark for eighth place in the Presidents' Athletic Conference (PAC). The Titans opened the 2012 season with a statement 28-0 victory over Hiram. Westminster also recorded wins over PAC opponents St. Vincent and Bethany. Four of the Titans' six losses were by one possession deficits.
The Titans showcased a new quarterback under center in 2012 in junior transfer Dak Britt (Battle Creek, MI/Battle Creek). Voted team MVP and newcomer of the year for the Titans, Britt posted 1,386 passing yards, 11 TDs, and eight interceptions. He ranked third in the PAC in total offense with 1951 yards.
With the leadership of eighth-year head coach Jeff Hand, five Titan players earned spots on All-PAC teams.
Senior defensive back Kyle Allen (New Wilmington, Pa./West Middlesex) was the lone Titan to earn first-team all-PAC honors. Allen was recognized on the first-team for the first time in his career. Allen also received honorable mention recognition as a returner.
A four-year starter, Allen earned second team all-PAC honors in the 2010 and 2011 seasons. He recorded a team-high three interceptions, including a 92-yard touchdown return in the season finale against Geneva. Allen also posted 31 tackles, eight pass defenses and two blocked kicks.
Four other Titans were voted second team all-PAC. They included senior offensive lineman Marco Canello (Pittsburgh, Pa./Seton-LaSalle), senior wide receiver Geno Pasquinelli (Salem, Ohio/Salem), junior defensive lineman Sean Christofferson (New Wilmington, Pa./Wilmington) and senior linebacker Derrick Orloski (Butler, Pa./Slippery Rock).
Canello, a two-year starter, earned his first all-PAC selection in 2012. Canello was a key contributor to the Westminster's rushing game who ranked fifth in the PAC averaging 157 rushing yards a game and topped the conference with 4.7 yards a carry.
Pasquinelli earned his third all-PAC honor in 2012. He was a second-team selection in 2010, and a first-team honoree in 2011. Pasquinelli made his mark in the career receiving record books, finishing third all-time in receptions with 139, tied for fourth in touchdowns with 19, and 10th in receiving yards with 1521.
Christofferson, a third-year starter earned his first all-PAC selection after being named an honorable mention selection last season. He recorded 43 tackles on the season, second among all defensive lineman and ends in the conference.
Orloski also earned his first all-PAC selection after being named an honorable mention performer in 2011. His 60 tackles on the season ranked him 13th in the PAC and third on the team.

Kim Alexander, who has recovered from cancer, enjoys spending time with her horses, Chance and Sis, at her farm in Gallatin. / Jae S. Lee / The Tennessean
36,570 people in Tennessee are expected to be diagnosed with cancer in 2014.
14,280 cancer deaths are projected to occur.
Breast cancer is expected to account for 29 percent of all new cancer cases among U.S. women in 2014.
Source: American Cancer Society
How Kadcyla works
Antibody effects: Kadcyla attaches to the receptors of HER2-positive tumor cells, a particularly aggressive type of breast cancer. It tells the cells to stop growing and signals the immune system to destroy them.
Chemotherapy effects: The drug then releases a chemotherapy agent inside the tumor cell, causing the cell to die. Because the chemotherapy is specifically released inside the tumor cell, patients are spared common side effects of chemotherapy.

Sarah Cannon Research Institute
Began in 1993
Named for the woman better known as her character, Minnie Pearl, a Grand Ole Opry legend. Cannon was diagnosed with breast cancer in 1985 and underwent a double mastectomy. Her death in 1996 was not cancer-related.
Founded its United Kingdom facility in 2009
Has conducted more than 110 phase one clinical trials
Is affiliated with more than 700 doctors

Kim Alexander took in an old, emaciated racehorse at the same time that she was preparing to die.
The Gallatin resident had been diagnosed with breast cancer in 2006. Her initial diagnosis was grim, and four years of treatment had been ineffective. She had just started a last-hope clinical trial at Sarah Cannon Research Institute in Nashville.
That clinical trial marked a turning point in her fight. When a veterinarian came to look at the horse, Alexander started describing her plans for nursing the horse back to health.
The vet, who is a friend of mine, Alexander said, turned to me and said, Look at you. This is the first time in all these years Ive heard you talk about the future. Youre talking about living rather than dying. When he said that, I thought, My gosh, hes right. And this horse and I, were still together. I call him Chance.
Alexander started on the clinical trial three days before Christmas in 2010. A year later, a scan showed her cancer was gone.
The drug that saved her is now known as Kadcyla, a cancer treatment that received U.S. Food and Drug Administration approval after clinical trials at Sarah Cannon, the cancer service line of the Nashville-based HCA hospital giant.
Kadcyla is a novel combination of targeted antibodies and chemotherapy that is released only inside tumor cells, said Dr. Denise Yardley, the senior researcher at Sarah Cannon who oversaw Alexanders treatment. The clinical trial found that Kadcyla helped people live nearly six months longer and experience fewer side effects than those treated with typical chemotherapy.
About 75 of the 991 patients in the trial participated through the Sarah Cannon institute.
Drugs such as Kadcyla are the new wave of cancer research, Yardley said, because they are highly targeted and can save patients from agonizing side effects.
According to the American Cancer Society, cancer deaths have been steadily declining in the past two decades. Yardley said the development of new cancer drugs is one of the reasons.
I see in the future less of the one-size-fits-all treatment, Yardley said.
Although Alexander is thankful to be a part of that wave, she knows that the treatment isnt the only reason shes alive today.
Its the drugs, yes, and clinical trials are amazing, Alexander said. But its also the incredible difference in care.

V �r . ' > *--'\ J%JU <<X- ~&m* *. ��v �. 2 V, The College News VOL. XIII. No. 26. BRYN MAWR .(AND WAYNE), PA.. WEDNESDAY. MAY 18, 1927 DR. DIEZ REVIEWS ART EXHIBITION Suggests That Art Students Choose Subjects Native to America. * INDIVIDUALS ARE GOOD (An open letter to tlu art students of Bryn Mawr on the occasion of their ex- hibition, by Dr. E. Dies.) As you wish to know my opinion about your exhibition, I should first like to say something in general about the study of art No doubt, what is learned depends greatly on the teacher, but, on the other hand, sometimes the teacher is in a cer- tain sense dependent on the pupils. . . . Mr. Young apparently worked with suc- cess in furthering your individual pre- dilections for the various branches of art. It is only the question, whether in the coming years a uniform, systematic train- ing would not be more profitable than the individual one. Fortunately you did not follow the old methods of art teaching, which one still sees practiced in nearly every museum of this country I mean the copying of antique statyary, which is rather useless. But I even doubt the ad- visability of drawing from .the nude, as it has been practiced till now. If bne starts with figure drawing at all, one should begin wjth the hand or the foot and continue till every part of the body is well understood. Leonardo and Durer practiced like that. But the question re- mains, as to whether figure drawing (or sketching, as it is done for the most part) is of fundamental importance for begin- ners. Behind this old international art academy practice too, lies the anthropo- centric point of view, which we took over from the old Southern cultures though it has nothing to do with the innermost aims of our Xorthern culture, so far as it is indigenous. Landscape Practice Essential. The adequate expression �ior Northern feelings in drawing and painting is the landscape. The German peoples had no Raffael and no Michelangelo. But the Italians had no Altdorfer, Durer, Ruysdal or Rembrandt. Therefore landscape drawing and painting should be taught in every art school first of alL, But landscape painting too needs its methods of training. It should not be begun with complexes, but with the ele- ments, with the trunks, the branches and the leaves. Those of you, who attended my classes of Far Eastern art will guess what I mean. If I had brought one of you, who are going to practice art to the "leaf," it would be more satisfying for me, than all the names and dates, which you deliver me in your quizes as a proof of your knowledge of the subject. Names and dates are not much more then means of understanding a certain historical sub- ject, but the essential value lies behind them. And the essential value of old Chinese painting lies for us in learning from them by studying their method, as they have been the only people in the history of art with a perfect method of landscape drawing. This is one of the many ways in which we can learn from one of the old Oriental cultures and perhaps the most useful and striking one. I am not going to deal with this method in this letter. Permit me only to quote a sentence from Petruc- ci's French translation of the "Kiai-tseu- yuan-boua-tchouan." the great encyclo- pedia of Chinese painting (which some of you know, and which you can look through in our Art-Seminary). There CONTINUED ON PAGE 5 A. Bruere and R. Wills to Head Athletic Association Alice Bruere, '28, has been elected President of the Athletic Associa- tion for next year.

May' 13. The interest from the en- dowment is used for a prize to men and women between the ages of 20 arid 35 for the best essay written on the subject: "What Woodrow Wilson means to me." The prize, of $25,000 each is given to the man and woman who submit the best essays on this subject. "The reason for such a discrimination," said Dr. Fen- wick, "is because it is humiliating for a man to be beaten by a woman." The essay must be only twenty-five hundred words in length; too %hort, therefore, to enlarge upon any definite ideas. It can- not be a biography, but merely an inter- pretation and explanation of what Wood-" row Wilson's principles mean to you. The purpose of great men in the prog- ress of the world is to give directions tn the oncoming generation. Wilson's principles were not wholly original, but he was endowed with a marvelous gift �of writing and keen interpretation. When he went over to the peace conference at Versailles he discovered that we, as a country, were more aloof and more de- tached from the difficulties in which other countries found themselves involved. For this reason it became necessary for him to make innumerable compromises which made this country feel that his ideals could never accomplish a purpose. It cannot be definitely stated of his greatest achievement, the League of Na- tions, whether or not it will survive. At any rate, the address in which he voiced his cherished hopes for its rapid promo- tion in world importance marks a turning point in modern history.

Speakers: President CONTINUHD ON PAGE 8 Science Club Picnic Triumphs Over Showers Amid lowering skies and gloomy prophecies from Dalton soothsayer, the Science Club started out on its famous annual picnic. In spite of imminent showers, with no adequate and recom- pensing hope of May flowers, spirits were blithe and attendance heavy. Never did we realize before quite what an interest in science the college had. We noted people who had majored in Chemistry^ others who had taken Biology for a week (up to the angle worm to be exact), and still others who were planning to take geology next year. A democratic and happy gathering, indeed. The Science Club settled down in a lush pasture not far from the campus. Ascetic professors rolled up their sleeves and chopped down trees to feed the fire, sweet and girlish students threaded hot dogs on willow withes, all was contentment, even bliss! Even the gods smiled. It did not rain, neither did it pour. After refreshments were partaken of. the less-gorged entered into a baseball game. After two and one- half ecstatic innings with no particular termination, both teams simultaneously disintegrated and sang sentimental songs until the moon rose from behind the dark trees. Bryn Mawr's tennis team, "� though crippled by the absence of both Miss Slingluff and Miss Pitney, was able to wrest a difficult victory from German- town Cricket Club on Wednesday after- noon, May 11, winning four matches out of seven from the invaders. Germantown's star player. Mi*. W. P. Xewhall. whose left-handed serve is one of the most, redoubtable ever seen on a court, defeated Frances Bethel, '28, 6-1, 6-2. While Mrs. Newhall was distinctly the better player ,it must be admitted that Miss Bethel was somewhat off her game; had she been playing as she has at other times this season, the score .would certainly have been much less one-sided. As it was, Mrs. Newhall's unerring placing had her beaten before she was able to find her stride. It rained at inter- vals but not enough to stop the playing. Right Couple for Doubles. By far the most exciting match was that between Miss Palache, '28, and Mrs. Wallace Brown. The two were so evenly matched that every (joint was a battle, and almost every game a deuce one. Mrs. Brown, however, starting with a rush, took four games before Miss Palache took one. Then the latter rallied and evened the score. Mrs. Brown, serving wildly, gave .Miss Palache the next game','>nd by a heroic struggle the latter won the* set, after a deuce game lasting at least twenty minutes. The last set was equally hectic. Twice Miss Palache came within a point of win- ning, and twice the indomitable Brown saved the game. But the third time, after a long rally, Mrs. Brown's ball went outside, and the match was a vic- tory for Miss Palache and Bryn Mawr. Miss Palache's game is a good deal letter than her form, which is cramped and lacks freedom. Hut her serve is strong and steady. Another epic contest, even longer, took place between Carla Swan, '29, and Miss Gladys Cortwright, of Germantown. Even to read the score, 5-6, 8-6, 7-5, is exhausting, and the match itself was a gruelling one, during which Miss Swan remained calm and unruffled,' although at one time Miss Cortwright seemed likely to win. The latter played continually to Miss Swan's backhand, avoiding the strong drive which is the best feature of her game. Both parties showed good form without great speed, but consider- able accuracy. A swifter game, but less successful for Bryn Mawr was that between Olivia Stokes, '30, and Miss Agnes Bergen. Miss Stoke's game was erratic, and she showed a tendency to put her returns into the net; she has a strong stroke, however, and plays intelligently. But Miss Ber- gen's speed and steadiness was too much for her, and she was defeated, 6-4, 6-2. Mary Hand, '27, defeated Miss Leslie Hawes, of, Germantown, without much difficulty. The first set was 6-1, and the second 6-4, more because it was too Please Answer Pleas There is still time to sign up to go to Bates'House this summer, and the committee is eagerly awaiting an opportunity to add your name to its listtt^If you can go please see M.

Model School Children Sing Original Songs On Wednesday morning, May 11, the children of the first, second and third grades of the Thorne School entertained the delighted college with songs, some of them original. Class One and Two sang little nursery rhymes and one French song, the chorus being led by one of their own numbers. Class Three then proceeded to sing, with appropriate gestures, original songs, some of them to original tunes. Each child stood up and with surprisingly little embarrassment told the name and ex- plained the subject of her song; then, turning, led the whole class in singing. The lays were short and rather incom- sequential, but delightful and whimsical, larj<L.the most charming thing about the performance^was the ro�'�* '�^ "f 'elf- consciousness. Taylor clock was again forced to stop in its course, so surprised was it at the doings of the Freshmen on Friday eve- ning. May 18. �Activities began about supper time, when the Freshmen (for it was their Night) took possession of the Senior tables in almost every hall appearing in gowns and pajamas. After supper, Senior singing was the center of attraction; from Taylor steps, the Freshmen sang their parodies, all quite according to tradi- tion, until a subdued stirring was noticed among the Seniors. Incensed by the dis- covery of Limburger cheese and garlic in their pillow cases, their mattresses, and (we hesitate to reveal it), in their hair brushes, certain Seniors disappeared in- side of Taylor. It was expected that they* would crash through the door to the steps, from behind; but, no, some time passed without a sign from the missing Seniors. Just when they had almost been forgotten, a window in the tower flew open, and a bucket of water de- scended on the heads of the unsuspecting Freshmen below; this was followed by another, and another until the less agile, or the more defiant, were soaked to the skin. Some Freshmen felt that this should be stopped, so they ascended to the tower room, where heads of strug- gling rivals could be seen from time to time. .After all the Seniors had been routed, it is rumored that as protection, the Freshmen tied one Senior across the trapdoor in such a way that if any one tried to lift it, she would be quietly strangled. After this dramatic occurcnce, parodies were sung again, and all seemed very mild. The best parodies were those to ''Ink Unit said Little Mr. Bull Frog," "When Betsey was young" and "Like the Wind." The words to the first might be called "the serf's report to her mis- tress;" after a very dutifufl list of the things she has done, the serf expresses her feelings, in the line' "Thank God, uh huh. the day is through." Betsey, at col- lege, discovers that "Senior's smiles are like china rare, always bestowed with the greatest of care." Senior singing ended peacefully enough; some may have been disap- pointed that there was no fight on the steps, but the water hurling episode was ample compensation. The campus was a model of orderliness (if one overlooks the strings of tooth brushes and combs festooned here and there, and the pajamas swaying gently from a tree), until 10 o'clock. Just as the bell began to ring, a loud report was heard from the cloisters,, and terrified figures rushed from the library. Soon shots were heard on every side, and the bolder remained to discover that they were giant firecrackers. These were followed by an exhibition of Roman candles on Merion green, after which the party broke up� a -good time was had by alL ' * V ���*--

As I'm sure most you remember, we won the Stanley Cup on June 9, but we didn't end up with any Mike McBain or Deron Quint; no, we got one of the best NCAA forwards out there - a freshman Hobey Baker finalist, a guy whose only knock is his size (but if you look at his size - 5'11, you're left scratching your head) here's what was being said before the draft:
9. Zach Parise --C--North Dakota
All he seems to lack is size, but with his heart, it might not matter. Extremely gifted offensive player who can create and finish. Thrives in the open ice but will also get involved along the boards. Very strong on special teams and has very good hockey sense. - Prospect Advisor
Parise was ranked 9th because this is an unusally deep draft year, if he had been a year older, he likely would have been the 4th best prospect, behind only Rick Nash, Jay Bouwmeester, and Kari Lehtonnen. Make no mistake, Parise is a "can't miss" prospect, of course, can't miss prospects miss all the time, Alexandre Daigle for example, but Parise is in the class of prospects that's about as sure a thing as you can get. So how did the Devils get him?
1. We had the right to switch picks with The Saint Louis Blues because of the Scott Stevens tampering case, So instead of having the #30 pick, we actually switched and got the #22 pick. Still, that was not even close to Parise. Lou and Conte went to the draft with their eyes on guys like Anthony Stuart, in fact he didn't even have a tag for Parise.
2. This draft, as I already mentioned was deep, but it was weighted in forwards. If you wanted a quality defenseman, you had to get him early. That led to several defensemen getting picked earlier than they should have, and bumped the quality forwards down. (Also, Marc Andre Fleury was the only star quality goalie in the draft, so he went rigtht away too
3. In a draft class with so many forwards, there are lots of big forwards with skill available. The only forward under 6'2 drafted in the top 9 was explosive forward Nikolai Zherdev.
In a draft class with a lot of big forwards, Zach Parise fell way too far. Remember, he's 5'11, not exactly Brian Gionta here. And he's still growing.
4. There were 4 big name forwards that fell: Steve Bernier, Zach Parise, Danny Fritsche, and Patrik O'Sullivan. San Jose struck first, trading 3 of their picks (#25, a 2nd rounder, and a 4th rounder) to move up 9 slots to #16 and nab Steve Bernier, a forward with excellent size and potential who like Parise, should've been taken much earlier. The jig was up, and Lou moved decisively. Since he only had to move up 5 slots as opposed to 9, Edmunton stood a good chance of getting the player that they wanted anyway, so the move only cost Lou the 68th pick in the draft.
The mind boggling conspiricy of events was complete, and New Jersey had one its most signifigant 1st round draft picks since Petr Sykora fell to #18 was picked up way back in 1995; another highly skilled forward picked up after winning the Stanley Cup.

Sorry if it's been posted.. Is anyone looking forward to the remake of William Lustig's Maniac starring Elijah Wood
Why does this sound so bad to me?
Actually, the sneak peak looks pretty good...
DirtyGirl's Website
The trailer looks promising, very gritty and 80's looking.
ChainSaW80's Website
I'd throw my hat in the ring for it. I mean he was creepy in Sin City. Maybe he would make Joe Spinell proud.
Mr. Black's Website
I know nothing of this remake and thats the way I like it... I'll never watch it, me sticks with the one and only... I dont need/want to see a deranged hobbit
I've seen a clip of the film, and liked what I saw. As pointed out, Elijah did a great job as the villain in Sin City. So I'm optimistic about this remake. If the movie turns out to be a dud? No biggie! With all the remakes being done over the past few yrs, I've come to realize that; if a remake of a classic movie fails, it makes me that much more appreciative of the original.
Never heard it before.
master's Website
Gotta admit. I'm semi sold on it by critic reviews. I'm a fan of the original but I would like to see this done.
hell yeah!
I admit when I read it was wood I was doubtful because I'll always see him as frodo baggins but he is an excellent actor. He turned pretty badass in green street. I've not seen all of maniac but I desperately want the remake to do it justice because what I seen is pretty awesome. The remake machine is ploughing it's way through a lot of greats and rarely do they do them right IMHO.
Green Street Hooligans was awesome but I look at Elijah Wood in Sin City and I'm sold right there
Typed out a longish responce only to get asked the pun stop bot Q 11 times before I gave up writing Earth over and over...
Yeah I thought Green Street was ok. I prefered Football Factory (nick love) Elijah Wood is very diverse actor. I remember him in Flipper when I was little and thinking he was the be all and end all haha.
i never capitalize earth or horror for the pun bot thing haha and never a problem
I'll probably end up seeing this, I love Elijah.
I'll wait to see what all you have to say about it before I will even think of it.
Just seen a preview of it. I'm pretty excited. I liked the original and I'm really looking forward to the remake now. Vas the lucky bugger is gonna see it at fright fest.
^Maybe not. I didn't book a ticket for the particular day it is on. Seeing as i really like the original i am not particularly eager to see the remake. Theres nothing on Saturday in the festival that particularly interests me really except a really good doc on Gore Effects on that day called Nightmare Factory so i will probably get a single ticket for that instead of Maniac.
I'm not a big fan of the original so I don't mind a remake. Hopefully they'll actually include a point to the flick this time around.
Ha, about 2 weeks ago a couple of us were on Skype and someone said "Let's watch Maniac." Oh man, the ace trousers... the ace trousers....
azathoth's Website
I'm skeptical as he is a good actor but whether or not he can pull off sleazy like Joe Spinell did so brilliantly remains to be seen.
The original is one of my all time favorite slasher flicks, and I must say, this one looks pretty damn good. I'll definitely be checking it outl
I might go and watch it at Frightfest after all. Walking back late at night in the east end of London on Thursday instead of the Saturday Maniac showing might be a bit dodgy
The original was truly creepy. I think Elijah Wood could pull this off in entertaining fashion.
Theli's Website
I love the original well love might be a little to tight but shit how the hell will Elijah dude ever compete with Joe Spinell, come on...

- Filed Under
The U.S. Department of Justice is seeking a court order to force Ohio juvenile prisons to stop what federal officials describe as rampant use of solitary confinement to discipline boys with mental health disorders, a practice the state says is a last resort.
A motion filed Wednesday in federal court in Ohio seeks a temporary restraining order to limit seclusion at four juvenile facilities. The Justice Department alleges Ohio violates the boys' due process rights by depriving them of education, exercise and mental health care, then doesn't change their treatment when they return to the general population to address the effects of solitary confinement or the problems that led to seclusion.
"The state secludes boys with mental health disorders at the facilities a tremendous amount, the state knows it, and the state won't address it," the Justice Department wrote. "If these boys are to be protected from the irreparable harm of excessive and repeated seclusion, it is up to this court to protect them."
The Ohio Department of Youth Services said it secludes juveniles as a last resort and still offers treatment and programming in those cases.
"Addressing youths' mental health needs is absolutely critical in our work of rehabilitating youth," spokeswoman Kim Parsell said in a statement, noting that youth are provided "individualized, evidence-based behavioral health services" and activities.
The federal government's latest request adds to its 2008 lawsuit raising concerns about solitary confinement and inadequate mental health services in Ohio's youth system. The government says the monitor in the case investigated the use of seclusion for part of last year and expressed concerns but that the state has not made policy changes or taken other remedial action on the issue.
Parsell said she couldn't respond in detail because of the pending case but noted that the agency reviews seclusion to make sure it is used only as a last option.
The Wednesday filing charged that seclusion has become the system's typical method of dealing with mentally ill boys.
It said at least 10 boys at the Scioto Juvenile Correctional Facility in central Ohio spent at least one-tenth of their time in seclusion between April and September of last year. That facility is slated to close in May.
One youth at the Circleville Juvenile Correctional Facility south of Columbus spent about 45 percent of his time in seclusion over six months, with the longest stretch lasting about 19 days, and he showed "self-injurious behavior" and was on suicide watch, according to the motion. Another spent about one-third of his time alone, including three straight weeks, it said.
Federal authorities want the court to limit solitary confinement for mentally ill boys to no more than 24 hours without exercise, education or other programming; no more than three consecutive days; and no more than three days within a 30-day period unless officials review a youth's mental health treatment plan and take other steps. They also say use of restraints shouldn't be substituted for seclusion.
Much has changed in Ohio's juvenile prisons in the decade since a different lawsuit alleged a culture of violence in the system. It has closed several juvenile prisons in recent years as more young offenders go to locally run facilities, meaning those still in state facilities are often older and more violent.
The state now houses about 450 juveniles.

We all know someone who is not as smart as we are—and someone who is smarter. At the same time, we all know people who are better or worse than we are in a particular area or task, say, remembering facts or performing rapid mental math calculations. These variations in abilities and talents presumably arise from differences among our brains, and many studies have linked certain very specific tasks with cerebral activity in localized areas. Answers about how the brain as a whole integrates activity among areas, however, have proved elusive. Just what does a "smart" brain look like?
Now, for the first time, intelligence researchers are beginning to put together a bigger picture. Imaging studies are uncovering clues to how neural structure and function give rise to individual differences in intelligence. The results so far are confirming a view many experts have had for decades: not all brains work in the same way. People with the same IQ may solve a problem with equal speed and accuracy, using a different combination of brain areas.

Shim defeats Liu for U.S. Junior title
After falling 5-down through the first 18 holes of the championship match at the U.S. Junior Amateur Championship, Andy Shim of Duluth, Ga., began the second 18 by winning eight of the first 10 holes to take a 3-up lead on fellow AJGA player Jim Liu of Smithtown, N.Y. He went on to win 4 and 3 for his first victory of the 2012 season.
One year ago, Shim qualified for match play, but lost on the 23rd hole in the round of 64. On his way to the 2012 finals, he defeated stroke-play medalist Nicholas Echavarria and was able to overcome a five-hole deficit to 2010 champion Liu to secure his first USGA championship.
Currently No. 41 in the Polo Golf Rankings, Shim has three AJGA victories in his three-year career. His last win came at the 2011 Burgett H. Mooney, Jr. Rome Classic. Recently he recorded top-10 finishes at the FJ Invitational and the Rolex Tournament of Champions.

By the numbers
Five largest amounts of tax dollars obtained by districts through the energy-efficiency exemption since the law was enacted in 2009. The numbers include estimated interest costs on loans.
Racine Unified School District: $42 million
Oshkosh Area School District: $28.6 million
Saint Croix Central School District: $14.4 million
Monona Grove School District: $7.4 million
Green Lake School District: $6.4 million
Source: School district records and the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction
The law
Wisconsins 2009-11 biennial budget bill included a new law allowing a school district to increase its revenue limit by the amount spent on implementing energy efficiency measures that year. The states 2011-13 budget bill expanded the law so a district also can increase its revenue limit to fund the payment of debt service on bonds or notes issued to finance the energy-efficiency projects. To qualify, school boards must approve a resolution to exceed the revenue limit, hire a performance contractor to oversee the projects and demonstrate an actual reduction in energy or operational costs.
Wisconsin school districts are increasingly tapping a law that has allowed them to spend at least $134.5 million beyond revenue limits without going to a referendum, a Gannett Wisconsin Media review found.
The law, approved by the Legislature in 2009, lets districts raise local property taxes above limits set by the state as long as the money pays for energy conservation projects.
Use of the exemption took off this year because a 2011 amendment to the law allowed districts to borrow money for energy-saving projects and exceed their revenue limits to fund loan payments over multiple years. In the past, districts had to raise and spend the money in a single year.
A review of data from the state Department of Public Instruction revealed that 32 districts used the law this year to fund at least $93.2 million worth of building-improvement projects ranging from installing new heating and cooling systems to replacing computers and re-insulating buildings.
Last year, 30 districts used the law to raise an extra $8.9 million.
School officials said they used the exemption to catch up on a backlog of deferred maintenance and facilities improvements.
The Oshkosh school district borrowed $21.5 million to address more than one-fifth of its maintenance needs, which are estimated at $100 million, said Bob Tess, executive director of business services.
Projects include installing new heating and cooling systems and replacing roofs. The district estimates the work will save $60,000 in energy costs annually.
We took the approach that we dont know if the legislation will stick, and we need to take advantage of it while we can, Tess said.
Growing use, fewer referendums
Use of the exemption likely will increase as more districts realize its potential, said Dale Knapp, research director for the Wisconsin Taxpayers Alliance.
One thing weve seen over the past 10 to 15 years as revenue caps have tightened for districts is that maintenance spending has been cut (significantly) So in some cases this is a way to catch up on some of these projects without having to go to voters, he said. At some point, though, as it gets used more and more, youre going to see more and more scrutiny of its usage.
Ten school districts confirmed borrowing a combined $88 million this year with the intentof exceeding revenue limits to fund the debt payments over the next 10 or 20 years. Taxpayers in those districts will pay more than $108 million in loan principal and interest. Another 22 districts used the law for one-year tax levy increases to pay for a combined $5.2 million in building improvements.
Leaders in districts that used the law to raise funds to be spent in a single year said they expect to use, or consider using, the exemption again in the future.
Its just a small area that gives us a little relief for the budget, and if its done carefully and doesnt add to the (tax) levy from year to year, I think its a technique that we will continue to use as it fits, said Don Hietpas, chief financial officer for the Appleton Area School District, which used the exemption for the first time this year to raise an extra $650,000.
Jenny Goldschmidt, business manager for the Clintonville School District, said it used the bulk of a $575,000 exemption for new boilers at the districts 1960s-era middle school.
The option for the exemption came up and it folded right into our debt schedule, so our tax levies didnt change too much, Goldschmidt said.
Goldschmidt said the district is exploring options to use the exemption again next year for more energy-conservation projects.
Fewer districts have been going to referendum since this option has been made available.
The GWM analysis found that 117 districts attempted referendums across the state in 2008-09. The following year, only 75 districts utilized referendums while 35 used the exemption to levy extra money without asking taxpayers. Last year, only 59 districts went to referendum, and 32 took advantage of the exemption.
State Sen. Luther Olsen, R-Ripon, said he supports the law because he thinks it encourages districts to make wise investments in facilities.
The goal of course is to lower their energy costs in the long run so the money they spend educating kids doesnt go into energy but into education, he said.
The Unified School District of Racine, which has a $90 million deferred maintenance list, used the exemption this year to borrow the largest amount in the state: $34 million. The district also used the exemption last year for a one-time tax levy increase of $786,000.
We were doing just a little bit of work each year, and we didnt think we could catch up, so we saw this as an opportunity to do a lot at once. We have some facilities in significant need of improvement, and we will see operational and energy savings, said Marc Duff, director of business services.
The savings are estimated at $50 million spread over 20 years, he said.
Other districts have used the exemption annually in smaller amounts that over time have added up to hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars.
The small district of Green Lake, which has a total budget of only $5.5 million, has used the exemption each of the past four years for a combined $6.4 million. That includes borrowing $3.4 million this year.
The Merrill Area School District used the exemption three times since 2009, for a total of $878,000.
We had a backlog of projects, and this was a way for us to take care of some really inefficient boilers. I believe the district just took advantage of the chance to get some of these projects out of the way that were nickel and diming the budget through energy use. Its way to reduce costs in the long run, said director of finance Brian Dasher.

Jesus Manifesto by Sweet and Viola
4 comments:
- ben said...
Tom, you don't blog a lot of book announcements. So do you mean to offer particular commendation to this one, or do you mean for us to observe the radically diverse array of endorsers?
Any sense of whether they're endorsing something good about Jesus, something bad, or something that essentially says very little at all?
- 2:35 PM, May 31, 2010
- Tom said...
I am intrigued by the variety of commendations. I have only pre-read the book and thus cannot give any significant evaluation of it. It certainly has captured the attention of disparate groups of people.

"It certainly has captured the attention of disparate groups of people."
Deception always does especially when it is disguised as the truth. Some of the endorses of the book are into seriously twisted teachings. It seems as if error is flooding the Church in these days, right, left and center. What are the shepherds actively doing to protect the sheep from all this leaven of false teaching? How does the lay person in the pew with no formal education or the bare minimum, discern the error that is contained within that book and those like it?
"I have to take serious issue with the theology of this book. In the introduction Sweet and Viola say:
The historic Christian creeds are an expression of the need to answer Jesus' "Who do you say I am?" question. But that "you say" is contextual. Each new generation, in every culture, is given a "you say."
This is just a flat out lie. When Jesus asked the "Who do you say I am?" question, the answer given by Peter was NOT contextual, it was eternal. Said Peter, "You are the Christ the Son of living God." Jesus praised Peter and told him that answer was revealed to him by the Father. Then Jesus said, "on this rock I will build my church." Jesus' church is built on the eternal truth that Jesus is the Christ the son of the living God.
Who Jesus is, is not contextually determined by any culture or community. The creeds themselves confess eternal and transcendent truths about Christ NOT contextualized truths that were true for the cultures of the 4th and 5th centuries. This is a SERIOUS and Dangerous false teaching on the part of Sweet and Viola." - Chris Rosebrough
What exactly, then, is "heresy?" Irenaeus states, "Error, indeed, is never set forth in its naked deformity, lest, being thus exposed, it should at once be detected. But it is craftily decked out in an attractive dress, so as, by its outward form, to make it appear to the inexperienced (ridiculous as the expression may seem) more true than truth itself." - The Devil's Merchandise Heresy in the Church

I'm about halfway through with this book. I'm no Len Sweet apologist (in fact, I've been critical of him before) and I have no desire to try to shield anybody from just censure, but I think you've given an overly pessimistic reading of that particular statement. I read that to mean that each generation (context) must answer the question, "Who do you say that I am?" (True enough! And, in this sense, Peter was in fact answering from his context, as do we all.) I certainly did not read it to say that the answer itself is contextually determined.
On the contrary - and much to my delight - the book is turning out to be one of the most profound articulations of high Christology I think I've ever encountered. In fact, I think what follows in the book all but kills the notion that the authors think the answer is contextually determined. They are very clearly arguing that the answer is determined by Scripture.
Now, the last half of the book may make me think differently, but if it does it will have to take a strong u-turn from the first half, which has been great.
Not trying to conflict with you. I would just question whether or not that is a fair or accurate reading of that book.

Oh, this made me laugh. A big hole. A white dog. Geeze. It occurs to me that you essentially have a large pack of teenage boys in dog suits living on your farm. Hilarious.ReplyDelete
It looks like someone told Bear a very funny joke and he's rolling on the ground laughing. Your dogs are so special. Thanks for sharing them.ReplyDelete
Just what I needed today! They are so adorable.......and Bert IS looking a little portly.......is he fattening up in anticipation of a bleak winter? :) Also, in the ones where Bear and Marta(?) are in the big dug up area-did the dogs do that or is it a human work in progress?ReplyDelete

Two millennia ago, three wise men arrived in Bethlehem bearing gifts for the Christ Child. A famous Christmas carol celebrates how Caspar, Balthazar and Melchior brought with them the most valuable items of their day—gold, frankincense and myrrh.
Back then, an ounce or two of each one was worth more than a peasant could earn in a lifetime. Today, frankincense and myrrh are no longer as rare, or as valued, as they were back then. But gold—the first gift of the Magi—is still as highly regarded as it was 2,000 years ago… or 3,000 years before that.
This Christmas let me suggest that you do as a Wise Man did 2,000 years ago; give the gift of gold to someone who is special to you.
A good friend of mine told me that he is going to put a 1-ounce gold coin in his granddaughter's stocking this year. Since she's only 1 year old, he'll let her play with the bright shiny object for an hour or so. Then he'll ask her parents to put it away for safe-keeping for several years.
"This is how I'm going to start her college fund," he said. "I'll do this every Christmas. By the time she's ready for college, I expect two things will have happened. One, her gold coins will be worth a heck of a lot more than I paid for them in paper dollars. And two, as their number and value increases over the years; I hope she'll appreciate the tremendous difference between something of real, permanent, lasting value—gold—compared to paper fiat currencies, which governments can inflate at will."
That's one smart grandpa. May I be so bold as to suggest that you go thou and do likewise? If a 1-ounce gold coin is over your budget this year, remember that the U.S. Eagle—made by the U.S. Mint from gold mined right here in the U.S.A.—comes in 1/10th-ounce, 1/4th-ounce, and 1/2-ounce versions.
In addition to the Eagle, the U.S. Mint currently produces a 1-ounce coin in .9999 pure gold that I recommend to your attention. It is the gold Buffalo, which I wrote about here.
Today's gold Buffalo is modeled after one of the most popular coins in American history—the 5-cent Buffalo piece, or nickel, that first appeared in 1913. As you can imagine, today's Buffalo costs a lot more than that. As of early Friday the spot price of gold was $1,159. Because of fabrication and distribution costs, expect to pay 6 percent to 8 percent over spot for each uncirculated gold Buffalo you buy.
If this is a lot more than you planned to spend on anyone this Christmas, let me recommend a much more modest investment—one that will only cost you $25 or so. It is the remarkably lovely silver Eagle from the U.S. Mint.
This genuine silver Eagle (each coin contains one ounce of 99.9% fine silver) is as lovely as it is historic. One side features "Walking Liberty," first designed by the noted sculptor Augustus Saint-Gaudens when Theodore Roosevelt was president.
Many people are not aware that the Mint still produces silver coins every year, so it makes quite an impressive gift. Who wouldn't rather receive one in their stocking, instead of a lump of coal?
Any coin dealer will be able to provide you with gold and silver Eagles from the U.S. Mint. Check your yellow pages under "coins" for a list of retail outlets in your area. Or go to the U.S. Mint's website, www.usmint.gov, and click on their list of approved dealers. I'm proud to say that my firm, Asset Strategies International, has been on that list since it was first created a dozen years ago.
Another way to give the gift of gold is through jewelry. Most jewelry store offerings are a very expensive way to acquire the Midas metal. The necklaces and bracelets they offer are usually not pure gold—a 14-karat necklace contains only 58 percent gold. And yet this machine-made jewelry is often priced at three to five times its gold content, or more.
A much better deal is a collection of .9999 pure gold jewelry which my company offers in partnership with another firm. It's called The Heirloom Collection and you can check it out by clicking here. Every link in every chain in The Heirloom Collection is hand-crafted by artisans who have been making these exquisite pieces all their lives. In some cases, they are the second or third generation of their family doing this.
Let me also mention that these pure-gold works of art come in exact weights, from 1 ounce to 5 ounces. They are an incredibly portable form of wealth. You can take them anywhere in the world and, if need be, sell them any place that buys gold. (It's worth noting that when FDR ordered the confiscation of all bullion and gold coins in America back in the 1933, gold jewelry was exempt.)
If all of that isn't enough reason to interest you in these wonderful examples of an artisans' skill, let me mention one more: Your wife or significant other will be thrilled beyond words to receive one of these exquisite creations as a gift this holiday season. Better yet, give her a matching bracelet and necklace set and watch her face glow in appreciation.
Giving the gift of gold (or silver) is a wonderful way to remind your lucky recipients of your principles and your generosity. What a marvelous way to give them many years of pride, pleasure and positive memories of you.
Sure, stocks and bonds and CDs are all very nice. But this holiday season; why not give a gift of lasting value? There is nothing that preserves wealth better than gold. That was true 2,000 years ago. It's true today. And I expect it to be true for the next two millennia as well.

At first, thank you for simply the best text editor! This is really an ideal code and text editor.
I use Sublime Text for web development very intensively, and the only thing that I missed there is the color editing functionality.
Now I would like to present a color editor application which can be helpful for Sublime Text users: http://www.color-tools.com/
How does it work?
Just select a color in Sublime Text and press Ctrl+C+C to edit it.
The color can be in any HTML valid format: #ff0000, rgba(255, 0, 0, 1), red, etc.
The app has also built-in image editor and converter, and a screen capture utility which can capture alpha channel (Aero, shadows, etc.).
For the present, the app is Windows only.
Licensing policy is similar to Sublime Text licensing policy: the trial version is fully-functional with no enforced time limit.
Due to this is an app which only acts as a plugin, it can work not only with Sublime Text, but everywhere. Use Ctrl+C+C as a universal shortcut to open the app.
Hope you will find it useful. The feedback is welcome.

Not sure that's better.
Anyway. Our jug is jerry-rigged from pallets. It works pretty well, but yours is lots prettier. Probably easier to work, too. Good luck with the rest of the lambs!

By Jessica Bakeman, Albany Bureau
ALBANY -- Midnight on Thursday is the deadline for schools to get their teacher and principal evaluation plans approved, and just fewer than a dozen districts face losing the 4-percent aid increase that's tied to the agreements.
As of noon on deadline day, 11 districts did not have approved evaluation plans.
"Today is the day. It's the one-year mark, and the compliance has been overwhelming," Gov. Andrew Cuomo said Thursday on a public radio show in Albany. "All but a small handful have figured out how to do it, and we're saying to the small handful: You're the outliers. Everybody else could do it; you should be able to do it."
Cuomo has stressed he would not extend the deadline for any district. The legislation that tied approved evaluation plans to state aid passed last January.
New York City is one of four districts that has not submitted an evaluation plan to the state Education Department, as the city's Department of Education and its teachers' union could not agree. The original submission deadline was in July, which the vast majority of districts missed.
The others that have not submitted proposals are Harrison schools in Westchester County, Fallsburg schools in Sullivan County and Pine Plains in Dutchess County.
It is unlikely these districts will get approval, as the state Education Department required every single approved district -- about 680 of them -- to make revisions and resubmit before their proposals were accepted.
Six districts still needed to resubmit their revised proposals to the state Thursday, according to the department's website.
Carmel schools in Putnam County, Onteora schools in Ulster County and Shoreham-Wading River schools in Suffolk County resubmitted revised proposals and received approval Thursday morning.
The Buffalo School district had its resbumitted plan approved before the deadline on Thursday.
It is unclear whether the remaining districts will be able to get approval in time, but state Education Commissioner John King said earlier this week that his staff is working "around the clock."
"But this is not a rubber stamp process," he said in a statement Monday. "We will not sacrifice quality for expediency just to approve a last minute submission. Every district's plan must be consistent with the law."
Cuomo said districts have requested extensions, but there were no requests on Wednesday or Thursday morning.
"We've been talking about putting this teacher evaluation system in for years -- literally years and years," he said on the Capitol Pressroom. "We won federal grants based on the fact that we were putting the teacher evaluation system in place, and then we just never did it."
Cuomo pushed schools to implement the evaluations by threatening the loss of $800 million in funding. Total school aid from the state is about $20 billion.
The controversial evaluations, which require union negotiation, rate educators based largely on student test scores and observations.
Under the law, teachers and principals are rated on a scale from "ineffective" to "highly effective." Two of the lowest scores consecutively can be grounds for termination.
"My point was: You want funding from the state, you have to perform in your job," Cuomo said.
Cuomo said districts and unions that don't reach the agreement -- forfeiting the aid increase -- will "fail their fundamental mission."

This year, we're determined to upgrade from the cleanup crew and tackle the whole affair. But, we know that, like all daunting tasks, this one is all about the research and prep. We sought out some local pros, including chefs and culinary school instructors, to give us the inside scoop on how the uninitiated can pull off a traditional Thanksgiving dinner with all the trimmings. Click through to learn how to plan, organize, and prepare a legendary feat — er, feast. We guarantee you'll want to try it yourself, so maybe it's time to get those invites out?
Make a Plan
Your mission? Plan ahead so you can do as little cooking as possible (aside from the turkey) on Thanksgiving Day, says Rochelle Myers, a seasoned chef who runs her own catering and cooking school. This can only be accomplished if you make a plan and stick to it.
Caterer and cooking class instructor Chris Coppola Leibner of Just Simply Cuisine clued us in on the importance of a Thanksgiving-week timetable. It's a step-by-step checklist leading up to the big day that will keep you on task and help you enjoy your own party. We summarized it for you to get you started:
On the Monday before Thanksgiving, set your menu and shop for groceries — including the turkey. On Tuesday, make the turkey brine and stock. On Wednesday, make the pies and the stuffing, prep the sides and vegetables, and brine the turkey overnight in the refrigerator. On Thursday morning, pull the turkey out of the brine, rinse, and dry well. Stuff the turkey, then roast it. (Check the turkey weight for cooking temperature and time.)
In the afternoon, make the salad, prepare the appetizers, and set up the bar. Make the gravy with drippings from the turkey roaster, and roast your vegetables. Just before dinner, steam the green beans, warm the dinner rolls, reheat the corn pudding and gravy, and carve the turkey. And voila — dinner is served.
Stick With Easy Sides
Creating a menu of simple appetizers, starters, and sides is key to surviving (and enjoying) your first holiday as hostess. Every expert we talked to told us to make life easier by choosing side dishes that are easy to prepare, which saves time and lets you focus on the (high-maintenance) turkey. So, just for you, we sourced some crowd-pleasing, easy-to-prepare recipes from local caterers and foodies.
For appetizers, blogger Michelle Peters recommends choosing starters "that can be prepared the day before for easy setup," and directed us to her favorite recipe for a cranberry cheese log. Set this out with crackers and a fruit plate to keep your guests fueled (but not full) after they arrive.
For the salad, try an early fall veggie salad with arugula and ricotta. It's a crowd-pleasing favorite of Leibner's, and it can be prepped in advance and tossed together just before serving.
Leibner suggests rounding out the menu with tried-and-true classics like roasted cauliflower and Brussels sprouts, corn pudding, and sweet potato puree. All those dishes can be prepared in advance, then baked, roasted, or reheated on the big day.
We checked in with blogger (and ace entertainer) Julie Eitner of Julip Made for her Turkey Day tips, and her go-to recipe. "Don't add stress by trying out complicated recipes for the first time on the big day," she says. "Stick to simple classics, or test out new-to-you recipes ahead of time. That way, you'll be relaxed and going through familiar motions on the day of."
Miso Butter Sweet Potatoes
2 tbsp butter, melted
2 tsp miso paste
4 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into approximately 1-inch cubes
1 bunch of scallions, diced
In a large saucepan, bring water to a boil and add sweet potatoes. Cook until tender when pierced with a fork. Strain and return to the pan. While the sweet potatoes are boiling, mix the melted butter and miso paste. Pour the miso butter over the sweet potatoes and mix well. Sprinkle the scallions over the sweet potatoes to serve.
Healthy-eating expert Alicia Sokol of Weekly Greens pitched in with her favorite side dish, as well. "Thanksgiving dinner is a decadent meal, so I like to keep the vegetables simple and fairly clean — no cream sauces or cans of mushroom soup here. (But I do use butter!)" Sokol says. "I also like to make as many dishes as I can in the day or two before so I can relax with my guests after I slide the big bird into the oven. But don't be fooled — I am not about calorie counting! I make sure the mashed potatoes and desserts would keep a cardiologist in business. This is my go-to recipe for green beans."
Pie, Pretty Please
For dessert, keep it simple (and traditional) by serving pie. Make your life easier by either buying or making your crust ahead of time and stashing in the freezer. If you choose the DIY approach, try this pie crust recipe from Doron Petersan, owner of Sticky Fingers Bakery.
Sweet as Pie Crust
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 1/2 tbsp sugar
1/4 tsp salt
2/3 cup non-hydrogenated vegan margarine, cold, cut into 1/4-inch pieces
1 1/2 tbsp cold water
In a food processor fitted with a metal blade, pulse together the flour, sugar, and salt until combined. Add the margarine pieces and pulse 5 to 7 times until the mixture becomes crumbly. Add the cold water and pulse 5 to 7 more times until mixture just comes together. Turn the dough out onto a clean work surface. Briefly knead the dough until all the dry ingredients are incorporated, about 30 seconds. Do not over mix or over knead the dough. The pie crust will be tough if you work it too long.
If you don't have a food processor, work the margarine into the flour mixture with a dough cutter. Sprinkle the water over the mixture and gently toss with a fork, until all the dough is moist and you can form it into a ball. Be careful not to over mix it and do not knead it. Wrap the dough tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to use.
For an adult version of pecan pie, Petersan recommends adding bourbon. Here's her grown-up recipe:
Bourbon Pecan Pie
1/4 cup non-hydrogenated vegan margarine
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup bourbon
2/3 cup water
1 cup plus 1 tbsp maple syrup
1/2 cup brown sugar, lightly packed
1/2 tsp salt
1 tbsp vanilla
2 1/4 cup pecans
Preheat the oven 350 degrees. Lightly grease a 9-inch pie pan that is at least 1 1/2-inch deep. Roll the pie dough out to a 13-inch circle and transfer to the pan. Press the dough evenly into the bottom and sides of the pie dish. Crimp the edges above the rim; this will give you a little extra headroom to hold the filling when it expands in the oven.
Refrigerate the crust while the oven preheats. In a medium heavy-bottomed saucepan, melt the margarine. Add the flour and whisk together, cooking over medium heat until the color is light to golden brown, about 5 minutes. Add the bourbon and cook for 3 more minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the water and stir to mix. Cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in the maple syrup, brown sugar, and salt and continue to cook for 15 minutes, or until the mixture begins to thicken. Remove from heat and add the vanilla and pecans; stir to combine. When the oven is ready, place the pie dish on a baking sheet. Pour the filling into the unbaked pie shell. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes. Cool completely before serving.
Tackle the Turkey In Steps
Even though the turkey is the most labor-intensive part of the meal, these suggestions will help you keep it all under control.
Our experts were strongly in favor of making the turkey stock a few days ahead of time. To make turkey stock, buy turkey wings, backs, and any other parts; roast them; and combine in a pot with carrots, onions, celery, a few bay leaves, peppercorns, and thyme. Cover with water, bring to a boil, and simmer for about four hours. Skim any foam or fat off the top before straining the stock; then let it cool before putting it in the fridge to chill before the big day. You can use the stock for everything: gravy, stuffing, and for roasting and braising vegetables. To use it in the stuffing, reduce the stock by boiling it down until halved, then add it to your stuffing recipe in place of water.
Don't overlook the turkey fat, Myers advises. It will rise to the top of the finished stock, and it's almost as valuable as the stock itself. "Use it to flavor all kinds of things: as a medium for sautéing veggies; instead of butter or oil for roasting Brussels sprouts; as the fat in a roux for gravy," Myers says. "This stretches the turkey flavor into all the savory elements of the meal."
Season the turkey the day before roasting, says Myers. "Advance seasoning makes a big difference to the finished product — there is no substitute for seasoning that penetrates all the meat to the bone." A simple brining recipe includes two gallons of water, a cup of salt, a cup of sugar, two lemons, four bay leaves, and a handful of cloves. Combine everything in a large pot, add the turkey, and refrigerate overnight.
Now you're ready to prep the turkey! Remove the innards, wash and dry the bird, and fill the inside with onion, carrots, and celery. Use aluminum foil to close the opening, and tie the legs with kitchen string. Rub olive oil over the skin, then roast the turkey breast down according to the directions on the package.
You can also use the tasty remnants from the roasting pan to make the gravy in a technique known as deglazing, says N.I. Silver of Cut To The Quick cooking school. "Deglazing simply means dissolving the bits by adding water or wine or other liquid to the pan, and heating it on the burner," he notes. Combine the liquid with your gravy recipe in place of water to enhance the flavor.

The WNA reactor database has been upgraded to improve the display of information for multi-reactor sites. Before this update the icons for reactors on the same site overlapped unless the map was zoomed in close enough to separate them. This meant that when, for example, searching for all the reactors in one country only the details for the one reactor at each site would be shown when clicking on the icons.
The new update now shows one icon for each site at wider zoom levels. Clicking on these icons brings up a pop-up list of all reactors at that site relevant to your search. You can click on the name of any of the reactors in the list to be taken to the individual page for that reactor.
The list of reactors shown will match the search criteria used. If your search was for operating reactors in the UK then the list for Sizewell would only show Sizewell B.
When zoomed in the icons for each reactor now reflects its operating status. Clicking on each icon will show brief details for that reactor, again, clicking on the reactor's name in the pop-up will link to a page with full reactor details.
The different icons used are:
The icons are placed near to their respective reactors, rather than directly on top, in part to avoid obscuring the reactors.
More upgrades to the database are being developed and should be released over the coming months.

Indianapolis is blanketed under the heaviest snowfall of the year before high winds frigid temps arrive this evening. A tree cracks under the weight of the snow on the city's Northwestside.
- Filed Under
Bitter cold compounded with power outages is now the biggest threat for Indianapolis.
Residents, as well as safety officials, face not only Mother Nature's deadly conditions but scattered power outagaes. Temperatures will plunge to minus 15 overnight, meteorologists forecast, while wind-chill readings could reach minus 37 or lower.
"We know the winds are going to pick up and these temperatures are coming, and we have to look ahead into the next 24 and 48 hours and understand what these conditions will do to the city," Al Larsen, Department of Public Safety spokesman, said Sunday evening. ...
