The Black Hawk College's Intercollegiate Horse Show Association Team, coached by Donna Irvin and Drew Cotton, recently finished its regular season by winning the Zone 7, Region 5 Team Championship held this year at the East Campus. In 16 years of competition, this is the 10th time that BHC has brought home the championship.
"We were High Point Team this season eight out of nine meets. That qualifies Black Hawk College for the team competition at semi-finals," said coach Donna Irvin.
"Black Hawk College had 25 of the 39 Regional Qualifiers (a record for us by nine) for the Zone 7 Region 5 Championships, as well as having the High Point Open Rider, Alissa Frederick of Chicago, Ill. The next college to qualify a significant number was Truman State with 6. Another amazing result is that our students won every division and earned 10 out of 11 spots to compete at Semi-Finals in Pomona, Calif."
As region champions, BHC will also send a group to compete in the team competition portion of this show. At the semi-final show the individuals and team will be competing to qualify for the IHSA National show later this spring.
The following is a list of Region Champions and Reserve Champions:
Region Champion Team, Black Hawk College
Reserve Champion Team, Northeastern Oklahoma
Below is a list of the Individual Champions and Reserve Champions:
Champion High Point Rider for the Region - Alissa Frederick of Chicago, Ill. (will compete at Nationals in this Division!)

"IHSA continues to be a growing sport. In our region alone this year, there were 11 different colleges represented and a record 214 entries at the November shows hosted by Black Hawk College. The unique part of the sport is that students of all ability levels can be competitive in their respective divisions and that the host colleges provide all of the horses and equipment for the events.
"Please join us in congratulating the entire Horse Show Team and wishing them continued success in post season competition. Thank you to everyone who has directly or indirectly supported this effort. It is truly a shared success," said Irvin.

CHARLESTON – Woodstock's Maura Beattie utilized a different strategy against Marengo's Katie Adams, her rival, for their fourth meeting in the 3,200 meters this season.
Beattie unleashed everything she had, pressing the pace hard from the outset in an effort to break the other competitors' spirits. The ploy worked just as Beattie and her coaches had hoped. By the sixth lap, it was obvious she was going to win the Class 2A 3,200 in the IHSA girls track and field state meet Saturday.
"I just kept thinking, 'Keep pushing,' so they couldn't get any closer," Beattie said. "I could hear my sister (Elise) on the backstretch yelling. I just wanted to go out hard and keep going."
The Blue Streaks junior won in 10 minutes, 55.77 seconds, with Peoria Notre Dame's Maryjeanne Gilbert (11:00.31) in second and Adams (11:10.77) in third. She joins her sister Kayla as a Class 2A state champion; Kayla won the race in 2010 and 2011.
Adams looked tired in that race, but collected herself and came back to win the 1,600 in her career-best time of 5:00.84. Her teammate Allie Sprague was second in 5:07.19. Those two managed to score 31 points, which tied the Indians for fifth place as a team.
"It was really tough mentally coming back," Adams said. "I was really tired after the 3,200. I had to bounce back mentally for the 1,600. I had to calm myself down and tell myself I could do it. I definitely ran that race with my heart, I wasn't going to let up."
Adams was not challenged in the 1,600. She and Sprague separated themselves in the first two laps and kept going.
"I was really surprised," said Sprague, who took fourth earlier in the 800. "I was not expecting this (in the 1,600) at all. My goal was to just place here."
Hampshire's Ashley Fouch also had a big day in Saturday's finals at Eastern Illinois University's O'Brien Stadium, where she will run next year. Fouch was runner-up in the Class 2A 400 and anchored the Whip-Purs' third-place 4x400 relay team that ran 3:58.05. Elizabeth Evans, Nikki Dumoulin and Elizabeth Pagan ran the first three legs.
Class 2A state recordholder Shamier Little of Chicago Lindblom ran 54.37 to win the 400. Fouch was in Lane 3, with Little in Lane 4 ahead of her the entire race.
"I just chased her and not only got a [personal record], but second," Fouch said. "I'm happy. My times have been up and down and I didn't know how I'd finish here, but you just come out and run your best."
Hampshire's Jenny Dumoulin also took a medal with ninth in the shot put.
Beattie was content with second place in last week's Grayslake Central Sectional for a reason.
"Our goal since indoor state was to beat Katie," Woodstock assistant coach Matt McCulley said. "We let Maura sit behind Katie last week and evaluated how Katie ran. Today, we wanted Maura to take it out from the gun and take away Katie's kick."
Beattie took seventh in the 1,600 last year when she did not qualify for the 3,200.
"She did exactly what we talked about to push the pace and try to break anybody hanging on," Woodstock coach Steve Erwin said. "She's healthy, stronger and more mature this year. She's very dedicated and very focused. The difference this year is she's stronger, she runs with more spring in her legs."

Go Vertical or Bust!
As a Professional Organizer and a small space dweller, my number one tip for maximizing space is going vertical. Whether it be with shelving, over the door racks or thinking outside of the box, vertical space is where it's at. A few favorite solutions broken down, after the jump!
Top Row
- Love to bring the outdoors in but have little floor space to showcase your succulents? Try a living wall.
- For the wine lovers in the group, these cool wine organizers painted white showcase your favorite vintages without taking up counterspace.
- Family photos make any house a home. Utilize empty walls by creating an art wall full of lasting memories.
- Shoe storage is a challenge for most small spaces. Think outside the box and repurpose a vintage ladder.
- Empty drawers dressed up with paint and decorative paper make perfect vertical display spots for your home decor.
Middle Row
- With bike enthusiasm on the rise, creative storage for these unwieldy items is key. A minimalist pole shows off the bike while keeping it out of the way.
- This homeowner applies a similar solution in the kitchen to store pots and pans.
- Shoe storage in the closet goes vertical with a bright red canvas organizer.
- Repurposing a shoe organizer in the entryway closet makes use of the back of the door (keeping useful items accessible).
- Who would have thought to utilize the vertical space on the side of the fridge? Genius!
Bottom Row
- Adding open shelving in the kitchen often reads charming and cozy (not to mention keeps your countertops clear of clutter).
- We also love taking open shelving in the office space where active items are within easy reach.
- How about a modern twist on the open shelf? Yes please.
- Classic, comfy and cozy, a home office tucked in the corner that operates like a large space.
- Teeny bathroom? No problem. This homeowner goes vertical and adds a top shelf that supports extra storage space in the form of a cabinet.

SANTA BARBARA, Calif. - The UC Santa Barbara women's volleyball team came back from a 10-point deficit in game three to secure a 30-25, 30-20, 30-27, win over Big West opponent Cal State Fullerton at home in the Thunderdome on Friday evening. Senior Olivia Waldowski helped steer the Gauchos to victory as she hit .700 on the night and tied her career-record of five service aces.
With the win, the Gaucho record is lifted to 9-7 overall and 2-2 in the Big West while the Titans drop to 13-5 on the season and 2-2 in conference matches. The Gauchos extend their series record against Fullerton to 52-0.
Middle blockers Waldowski and junior Brett Quirarte were the standouts of the night as each put-away a team-leading 14 kills and four blocks. Waldowski hit a season-high .700 after posting zero errors on 20 attempts while Quirarte also provided strong hitting with three errors on 26 attempts for a percentage of .423.
Freshman setter Stephanie Brandt had 48 assists in the win and libero Emily Hendrickson was the only Gaucho to post double-digit digs with 12 total.
For the Titans, Brianna Trudeau tallied a team-leading 10 kills while Julie Geissert notched 32 assists. Deven Bukoski and Danielle Hitzeman had 12 and 11 digs respectively.
There were several ties early in game one and with the score even at 10-10 the Gauchos distanced themselves by two with a kill from Quirarte and a ball handling error by the Titans. UCSB held the lead the rest of the frame as they outhit the Titans .302 to .167 and took the eventual 30-25 win.
With the score tied at 5-5 early in the second game, the Gauchos went on a 3-0 run to gain the lead. UCSB had a 15-9 advantage when Waldowski delivered three-straight service aces to further distance the Gauchos. Quirarte sealed game two at 30-20 for UCSB with a kill.
The Titans came out of the locker rooms ready to play as they jumped ahead early and earned a 20-10 lead in game three. With the score at 21-13, the Gauchos chipped away at the deficit with a 9-1 run highlighted by three service aces by Brandt. With the score tied at 22-22, the teams traded several points before the Gauchos captured the game with a three-point run topped off by Waldowski's fifth ace of the night and a kill from Jamie Garbisch. The final score of game three was 30-27.
UCSB will continue action in the Thunderdome Saturday evening when they host Big West foe UC Riverside at 7 p.m. The Highlanders are currently 2-14 overall and 0-4 in conference play after falling to No. 20 Cal Poly Friday evening.

Butterflies: Animals or Art?
By LASIS Staff
Artist Damien Hirst has never found favor amongst animal rights activists. He earned his reputation through his exhibit of a formaldehyde-soaked shark and sculpture of a severed cow's head.
But some organizations have felt that his latest exhibit, "In and Out of Love" at the Tate Modern in London went too far.
On October 14, The Telegraph announced that the 23-week art retrospective had led to about 400 butterfly deaths per week, for a total death toll of over 9,000 butterflies, many which were squashed or stepped on when they came into contact with museum visitors.
The American organization People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) took issue, calling butterflies "beautiful parts of nature and should be enjoyed in the wild instead of destroyed for something predictable and unimaginative."
A representative for Britain's Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (RSPCA), went further, stating, "There would be national outcry if the exhibition involved any other animal, such as a dog. Just because it is butterflies, that does not mean they do not deserve to be treated with kindness."
The museum itself has defended Mr. Hirst's exhibit, stating, "The butterflies used in this work were all… selected from varieties known to thrive in the conditions created. The butterflies lived out the final state of their natural life cycle inside this room."
The Daily Mail also reported that Mr. Hirst claimed he employed a butterfly expert for his exhibit at "considerable cost," and that the living conditions created at the museum were "perfect," resulting "in many butterflies enjoying longer life spans due to the high quality of the environment and food provided."
We weren't sure where we stood on this. On the one hand, butterflies are nowhere near as developed a life form as man's best friend, so the RSPCA's argument didn't resonate with us. On the other hand, the survival rate for the butterflies in the exhibit as reported by The Telegraph — a couple of hours to several days — measures poorly against the butterflies' actual lifespan in the wild—which is several months.
So we wondered. Would butterflies be considered "animals" under animal rights laws? Could someone succeed in a lawsuit under some sort of theory of "animal cruelty"? LASIS took up the case.

At 83.5 points per game, the Lady Trojans led the nation in scoring last season for the second time in the past three years.
"Our young ladies bring a great deal of talent to the court," 19th-year Barton head coach Wendee Saintsing said. "We have added talent in the guard spots and have an experienced frontcourt, along with added depth at each position. This group will challenge each other for playing time and will push each other to achieve their highest potential."
Pfeiffer women's basketball team has climbed five spots from last year's preseason coaches' poll to fill the third position. Under the direction of second year head basketball coach Heather Macy, the team finished 2005-06 with its best finish since the 2002 season with a 14-15 (11-9 CVAC) record. This year's team returns four starters including All-Conference and All-Tournament performer Tamara Clay. Clay ended the season ranked fifth in the nation and first in the CVAC in steals per game. In addition to the defensive pressure that Clay provided, she was also in the top ten in scoring in the CVAC, while leading Pfeiffer in points, steals, and rebounds.
Rounding out the lady's poll 4-11 was: Belmont Abbey,

The Board of Regents will hear presentations on the operating budget and tuition recommendations for 2008-09, as well as the biennial budget request and capital construction budget request for 2009-2011. The biennial request must be submitted to the governor by September, 2008.
Each biennium the university submits capital projects for funding consideration in the upcoming legislative session. As part of that process, each campus chancellor submits their highest priority. This year the highest priority capital project is the University of Nebraska Medical Center's new College of Nursing Building for the College's Lincoln Division, located on the University of Nebraska-Lincoln's East Campus. The State Legislature already has approved money to fund construction plans for the new Nursing Building, which will provide space to expand the College's educational offerings and address emerging student demands, UNMC's research and the state's workforce needs. Federal and state statistics indicate that Nebraska's nursing shortage will jump from 9 percent in 2002 to 30 percent in 2020.
Here are the other priority projects as submitted by the campuses:
University of Nebraska-Lincoln: Undergraduate Academic Classroom Facility. This state-of-the-art undergraduate teaching and learning facility will house general education programs; student computing services; centers for teaching, learning and technology; large auditoriums; state-of-the-art classrooms and undergraduate studies.
University of Nebraska at Omaha: Addition and Renovation to the Strauss Performing Art Center. The new addition and renovation would provide state-of-the-art instrumental and recording facilities; practice, solo and chamber music recital rooms; and storage space.
University of Nebraska at Kearney: Rebuilding Otto Olsen. The current Otto Olsen building will be demolished and a new facility will house programs in business and technology, natural and social sciences, fine arts and humanities, information technology services and a child development center.
In addition, the Nebraska College of Technical Agriculture will submit the Education Center Building as their 2009-11 priority project. This building will be home to the Horticulture Systems Division, provide space for the Veterinary Technology Systems and include a commons area for students to gather.

Elderly Man Says He Offered Girl Ride to School [AUDIO]
An elderly Missoula man has come forward to say he was the individual who stopped to ask a 10 year-old girl if she needed a ride to school on Tuesday morning.
Missoula Police Detective Sergeant Bob Bouchee says the man called police after hearing media reports regarding the incident. The unidentified man told investigators that the 5th grader looked like she had already missed the bus to school, and was just trying to be helpful. He said he meant no harm, and when the girl did not respond, he simply drove away.
After the incident on Tuesday morning, Rattlesnake School principal Jerry Seidensticker sent a mass email to all school families encouraging parents to remind their children not to talk to strangers.
Bouchet says the man was not arrested, because there was no criminal intent.

Recipes for Summer: Gluten Free Macaroni Salad Recipe
This weekend I went to a really fun housewarming party hosted by a fellow graduate student. She had just moved to Berkeley with her sister, and wanted to show off their super-cool new city-style apartment. I was looking forward to the party, but wasn't too sure if there would be anything I could eat or not. One of my cohorts was making cupcakes, so I thought maybe I'd make some gluten-free, vegan brownies to share with everyone. I followed Karina's tips on using Pamela's gluten-free brownie mix and baked up a batch. I had used almond milk to bake them, and I usually use either rice milk or soy milk. I was a little disappointed in the final results (probably because I don't actually LIKE almond milk) and so at the last minute I decided not to bring them to the party. But, I had to bring something, right? As it happened, I had randomly decided to boil some eggs that afternoon. I rummaged in the cupboards looking for something I could make, and came across some Ener-g foods white rice pasta. I decided to make it, and then I had a sudden inspiration. I always used to love heavy American salads like potato and macaroni salad on special occasions when I was a kid. It had been years since I had macaroni salad- but it occurred to me that I could mix up a quick batch of the pasta salad using my noodles. Then I would have a main dish to enjoy at the party, and surely everybody would enjoy a nice macaroni salad. I did some internet browsing and was inspired to come up with the following recipe. I did a quick taste test and enlisted the DH to try some too. We both thought it was really yum, so it was settled. I threw the pasta salad in the car and went to the party. It turned out to be a pizza party (oops!). Luckily there was plenty of time before the party, so when we were at the store picking up some things for the hostess, I grabbed one of Amy's Gluten-free, dairy free spinach pizzas. Luckily since the pizza was ordered in, no one needed the oven and it was fine if I used it to make my own pizza. To make sure there weren't any CC issues, I lined their cookie sheet with aluminum foil and baked my pizza. Twenty minutes later, I had my own pizza to enjoy along with everybody else. :)
In case you're wondering, to combat the possibility of CC, I waited until there was a lull in the gluten pizza chomping and then asked if people wanted macaroni salad, and then dished out everybody's individual servings. There wasn't any counter room anyway, so it worked great. I was really happy because it seemed like everyone loved the salad. My favorite comment was "Wow, it tastes like summer." One of the guests' family apparently always makes macaroni salad during family vacations in the summer, so it reminded her of that. I don't know when I've ever heard a nicer compliment. Anyway, the next time YOU feel like an "all-American" summer classic, why not try this simple and satisfying pasta salad recipe?
*By the way, I was completely touched when we went to pick up my cupcake-making friend for the party. She had made tons of beautiful gluten-filled cupcakes, but also had a little white box for me decorated with stickers from Japan. Inside were two delicious-looking, individually wrapped and labeled Gluten-Free Brownies by Wow, a gluten-free company I'd never heard of before. She knows about my gluten-intolerance and had thoughtfully gone to a local gourmet grocery store and asked about gluten-free desserts. She even thought about CC, so carefully picked out a sealed product made by a gluten-free company. Even better- the brownie turned out to be absolutely delicious, and rivaled Mariposa's finest. Isn't that the coolest thing ever? What cool stories do you have about thoughtful friends who make being gluten-free easier? I'd love to hear all about it in the comments…
Summery Macaroni Salad Recipe
4 cups cooked GF white rice or corn macaroni, slightly al dente, rinsed and drained (2 cups uncooked, half a 16 oz box of Ener-g Foods macaroni)
4 hard boiled eggs, sliced in half with yolks removed
1/4 cup minced red onion, soaked in cold water for at least 5 minutes, and drained
1/3 any of your favorite crunchy veggies (red pepper, green pepper, jicama, or cooked peas) minced *optional
1/2 cup prepared lowfat GF mayonnaise
1 or 2 tsp prepared GF mustard (I like Annie's horseradish mustard)
1 1/2 teaspoons sugar
1 1/2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more to taste
Freshly ground black pepper
Boil eggs, Prepare your pasta and other ingredients. Start the minced onion soaking in water to take off the edge. Meanwhile, stir all your dressing ingredients in a small bowl (mayo, mustard, sugar, vinegar, salt and pepper if you like). Add your hard boiled egg yolks and mush them into the dressing. Chop the remaining white parts of the egg. Put your rinsed, drained pasta in a large bowl, and add your egg white bits, drained minced red onion (you can reduce amount if you want a milder salad), and crunchy veggie bits. Mix thoroughly. Drizzle dressing over the salad, folding the ingredients together until it is evenly covered. You can let sit in a refrigerator for a few hours if you want the flavors to develop, or enjoy right away. Mmm, tasty.

A person you dread seeing in a bar because you know when they see you, they will make a bee line straight for you, bore you with stories and questions and never get the hint to leave.
They are usually alone and drunk.
They are usually alone and drunk.
I was out last night in a bar when that MAYGRUM, John Smith came up to me again and told me that same stupid story about how he knew me when i was a kid. He followed us to the next bar but we eventually lost him in the nightclub.

Mozambican entrepreneur fishes for clients
Mozambique's Evaristo Cumbane believes that running a business magazine is like fishing in the high seas.
For more than a decade he was a radio journalist but one of his dreams was to run his own business and he made it come true five years ago when he started a publication to promote investment in his country.
The magazine, Investir, covers different sectors such as agriculture, industry, infrastructure, mining and tourism.
His company, Investir Lda, currently employs only three people on a permanent basis but has several collaborators.
Mr Cumbane told the BBC's series African Dream that his employees are "people with the same vision as mine, people like fishermen".
"All of us have to go to the sea and extend the net and look for fish, instead of sitting down and wait for the fish that is being brought.
"So we have to go out, bring clients together. It's not up to the director alone to bring clients. All of us have to be prepared to face the winds and to face the waves in high seas".
He warns budding entrepreneurs against employing too many people while their business is starting to take off.
"Make sure first that your business is stable, the business is guaranteeing a permanent cash flow, otherwise you'll find yourself in the newspapers or television, that so-and-so is not paying his staff, so I'm very careful with that," he said.
Private sector
According to him, when he began publishing Investir in 2007 the only other magazine in the country was the in-flight one from the national carrier, Mozambique Airlines.
"We started at that time trying to involve the private sector to support this initiative, as the magazine itself is not for sale, it's for free distribution," he told the BBC Africa's Jose Tembe.
"So we had to rely on sponsorships and advertisements from the private sector," he continued.
Mr Cumbane said that he started with the minimum capital which was required by law as a deposit at the time, 20,000 meticais ($720, £450).
He pointed out that they had many obstacles at the beginning, including some imposed by competition.
"When I launched the magazine first, then other people started imitating the business and this caused us to have a small break just to rethink, to make sure that we produce something that will scare away all competitors.
"We are coming now with a brand-new style magazine which people when they'll see it they'll say: 'Yes, this is real business'," he said.
Also, after a while they realised that the magazine alone could not sustain the company.
"We started introducing other services, including translations from Portuguese to English, designing to produce magazines for others, to produce books for others, to do their layout, printing as well - we represent a big South African printer - so in conjunction with the printer we managed to get some business across South Africa," the entrepreneur explained.
Under pressure
Mr Cumbane believes that, to keep themselves afloat, business people must be ready to reinvent themselves.
"When you start a business you always start with some estimate, with some forecasts of cash flow, how are you going to get the money, and so on, but usually your estimates prove to be wrong and when that happens you are under pressure because the expenditure continues while the cash flow does not follow the pace," he said.
"So, at that stage you've got to think twice, you have to strategise, you have to think of new products, new things to introduce, otherwise you close the business because the main purpose of doing business is to generate profit. If you're not generating profit then you're not doing business, so you have to go home."
In spite of his setbacks - or probably because of what he has learned from them - he likes encouraging others to start their own businesses.
"We have to be creative and we have to create jobs as well. Many people, after finishing their training, usually they look for jobs in already established companies without realising that they themselves could set up a small business and employ other people who are looking for jobs.
"Of course I know why they are not doing that. It's not easy to do that in Mozambique - first because of the market. It's a very small market, small in terms of economic capacity, but you need to be courageous. If you fight, you win; if you look forward, you find it; if you knock, the door will be open for you".
He says that people are wrong to think that they need a lot of capital to create their own companies.
"You don't start a business with a lot of money. That's why you start a business. Otherwise you wouldn't start a business since you have a lot of money, you'd just deposit it in a bank and then you get interest.
"Always we start a business with little money but you need to be persistent, don't look at obstacles, don't look at the difficulties in the market, continue improving your product, improving your service, to make sure people realise that your service, your product is relevant to them."
His long term vision is to get Investir Lda into the Southern African Development Community (SADC) market.
But he said that he will eventually go back to radio journalism.
"I haven't left. I've just interrupted it for a while because later I'll go back to radio.
"That's what I was trained for. Doing radio and using, of course, my wonderful voice," he added laughing.
"To entertain people and inform people, that's what I like, but I needed to experiment with new things, new challenges."
African Dream is broadcast on the BBC Network Africa programme every Monday morning.
Every week, one successful business man or woman will explain how they started off and what others could learn from them.

And the hits keep coming!!! I forget which rock song that came from, but I'm happy to say this week's Presto Pasta Night Roundup is awesome. I especially love how non-traditional so many of the dishes are..Japanese, Cajun, tiramisu (okay it is Italian, but it's also dessert!). On the other side of the coin, I love how subtle differences can make a common dish extraordinary and become something so different (check out the lasagnas). But, enough about my ramblings...
Glenna of A Fridge Full of Food is recuperating from knee surgery, but that didn't stop her from being first in this week (Saturday, actually). Of course the drugs helped. I'm glad she could remember the recipe for her gorgeous looking Baked Mostaccioli.
Robin of a Clumsy Cook, is a PPN first timer - welcome and thanks for a great entry. She calls it Triumvirate Pasta because there are only 3 main ingredients - broccoli rabe (I love it), spicy sausages (even better) and Parmigano Reggiano (perfect) over the cutest cavatelli.
Judith over at Think On It loves peas and who could blame her - they're so cute and GREEN. Don't they make this dish of Ditalini (little macaroni) with Peas & Ham just make you smile?!
Amy of Nook & Pantry is back with this absolutely picture perfect Lasagna. How come mine never looks this good?
Nora of Life's Smorgasbord is another PPN first-timer and she brings this wonderful dish to our table...Orechietti with Grilled Vegetables, Feta & Roasted Garlic. Great combo! Hope you plan on visiting us again with more delightful dishes.
Myriam of Once Upon a Tart is back, I'm very pleased to say with a different spin on Lasagna - this one with Marscapone. As I've said before - you can never have too many lasagna recipes. Thanks for sharing this one.
Somehow I missed this dish last week and I do apologize, Sunita. I said there can never be enough variations of lasagna and here's another one to prove my point. Sunita of Sunita's World shares this awesome Asparagus Lasagna. It would have been a pity to miss it. Thanks for being persistent.
Paz of the most excellent Cooking Adventures of Chef Paz is back and shares this very summery Orzo Salad. It brought the sun right in through my rainy window.
Kevin of Closet Cooking is back with a vengeance, I'm happy to say. He shares two dishes and one of them was actually inspired by a previous Presto Pasta Night entry. How cool is that! (I'm not saying which one, and now you have to go hunt through all the roundups yourself. ) First up...Zha Jian Mian.
Also from Kevin is this Beef Ramen. He was worried they might not count as "Pasta" - silly guy! They're both perfect.
Dayna the Vegan Visitor is back as well, with this lip-smacking, very grown up version of Mac & Cheese - Zesty Avocado Bucatini. I'm drooling!
Katie over at Thyme for Cooking is back with this great Warm Cabbage Pasta Salad. I can't wait to try it out. I've only done a few variations of coleslaw for cabbage salads. Now I have something very different to try.
Judith, of Aroma Cucina, is another of my favorite food bloggers and PPN regulars. This time around she shares a very exotic dish - Octopus Ragu. I know I'd eat it...just not sure I'm adventurous enough to MAKE it. Guess I'll just have to visit.
SweetNicks joins us again with this awesome Scallop & Walnut Pesto over Cappellini. Perfect for me since Digby (just a couple of hours drive from Halifax) is famous for their scallops.
Another newcomer to PPN, Wendy of Teaching & Learning & a Wee Bit of Cooking brings us this great sounding dish. Notice I said "sounding" rather than "looking". She forgot to take a photo (like I've never done that!) so we'll all just have to imagine how looks and savor the flavor of Annalisa's Pasta Sauce.
Mandy of Fresh from the Oven, is new to PPN too. And I love her Triple S Pasta - Spice, Sausage & Shrimp. What's not to love.
Mary, our wonderful Bread Chick and frequent PPNer, is back with the first Presto Pasta dessert - Tiramisu Pasta Pudding.
Deborah, the Humble Housewife (so she says), is back with a glorious Spinach, Mascarpone & Mushroom Pasta Bake, plus a delightful meme, so check it out.
Tigerfish of Teczcape, a fabulous PPN regular shares this very Japanese dish of Soba Noodles with Japanese Mushrooms, Seaweed and Edamame. It takes no time to make and looks stunning.
Sher of What Did You Eat is another amazing PPN regular. This time she shares a very festive looking Baked Shrimp & Orzo with lots of secret ingredients including....you'll have to go to her site to see for yourself.
Holler at Tinned Tomatoes is another incredible PPN regular. I bet even the most devout carnivore would have no idea there was no meat in the Vegetarian Bolognaise.
Alisha of Cook, Craft, Enjoy is back with this Cajun Chicken Pasta. I love how non-traditional this dish is.
Haalo of Cook (Almost) Anything is back with the cutest new pasta (at least for me)
and great photos to boot. I'm craving her Cortecce with Grilled Artichoke Hearts, Chicken and Beetroot Greens even though it's only 7am as I write this.
Sara of I Like to Cook is back with two great salad ideas. I'll let her tell you all about the crazy weather they've been having in Western Canada. First up...Pasta Salad with veggies in a vinaigrette
and this Orzo Avocado Salad. I'm on a real avocado binge, so I'm especially happy to see this one.
Katerina of Daily Unadventures in Cooking joins us for the first time (first of many, I hope) with this very Pronto Presto Pasta. It's the perfect meal when things are crazy.
Valentina of Trembon has been meaning to join us for the last month or so. So glad she finally made it with this awesome Linguine with Clams.
I've already shared Sunita's pasta from last week and she's back with this lovely Pasta Salad with Veggies & Feta. Can you tell summer's just around the corner!?!
My daughter, Sharron and cousin Arlene in Toronto had this gorgeous looking pasta from Martha Stewart's Everyday Food Magazine, June edition. I couldn't find the recipe on line. For those of you with the June edition, it's the Pasta with Roasted Summer Vegetables & Basil. It probably will be on line next month. They left out the squash and added shrimps instead. Doesn't it look wonderful?
And now it's my turn to share....earlier in the week I noted that we've had pasta in soup, in salad, baked, stir fried...the list goes on, but not in a frittata and I do that so often with leftovers. So I thought I'd share my Presto Pasta Frittata ...
and this Lemony Zesty Farfalle with Anchovies & Grape Tomatoes.
First timer Marye of Apron Strings & Simmering Things shares this terrific Ravioli Florentine with a Tomato Basil Sauce I do hope she comes back often.
I will continue to add submissions until Saturday . After that, I will add them to next week's PPN Event. So don't forget to join in with the rest of us Presto Pasta Nighters. It's easy and fun. Remember that ALL noodles dishes count as pasta and "presto" (ready) or "lento" (slow) are perfect. Find out how right here. In the meantime...Happy Pasta Eating!!!

Intermediate football
So close for Monaghan against a determined Long Island
Monaghan 1-08 Long Island Gaels 0-10
Monaghan did just enough to get the victory over a determined Long Island side that pushed them all the way in the Intermediate quarter final. They now play Donegal in the semi next week while Kerry and Rangers face of in the other semifinal. The game was full of waves, LIG had the first two points but they were canceled out by a brilliant goal from James Connolly when he linked with Sean Munnelly. They followed with a point but then didn't score for 17 minutes as Long Island added four to their total to sneak into the lead. With the half winding down it looked as if Monaghan had lost their way but they responded with 1-02 in those minutes to again grab the lead. They opened the second half with a further four points to put five between the sides but they did not score the rest of the way and had to live dangerously. Mark McKeown had two, while John McGrath and Darren Moore also tallied but time ran out on their recovery and Monaghan had survived but just.

Leitrim are through
Leitrim 1-12 Cavan 1-08
The fourth spot in the semifinals of the NY championship is Leitrims after a four point victory in the last round of group games. While the game itself never reached the playoff intensity that is required normally, perhaps because Cavan were already through to semis, it was a contest that Leitrim were always ahead in or on level terms from the sixth minute on. At half time they had a two point lead 1-06 to 1-04 with the goal coming from Adrian O'Connor in the 28th minute when he took a Jamie Clarke pass and drilled the ball to the net. It cancelled out a brilliant individual goal from Eoghan Carew just moments earlier. They increased their advantage with three points to open the second half and were able to stay comfortable in front the rest of the way with a blanket defense never allowing Cavan the goal chance they badly needed.

Junior Hurling Final
Bronx goes Back to Back
Bronx 3-09 Hoboken 1-11
The Bronx took home their second junior title in a row with a trilling performance where keeper Eddie Hogan was outstanding and Sean Purcell got all the important scores up front. They were behind 0-06 to 1-00 after 20 minutes with their goal arriving in the second minute but responded with a closing salvo of 1-02 in the first half. After they extended their lead with a Purcell free, the game was score for score with both sides adding points leaving the game still in the balance at 2-06 to 0-11 with 14 minutes left. They were all Bronx as the side added 1-03 with Purcell again rattling the net to put distance between the sides at 3-08 to 0-11. Conor McInerney did have a consolation goal for Hoboken but they needed more and their main forward weapon Paul Loughnane was lost to injury in the first half.

Kerry used a dominating second half performance to easily take the points with Padraig King leading the way with six points from play. They were behind at the break 1-04 to 0-04 with the goal a gift in the early minutes. They easily picked apart their opponents however thereafter as Tyrone lost a man to a second yellow and King and Sean Purcell fired over at will.

A nursing tank top that looks like a regular tank top, but the front part lifts up while the underneath part lifts down for easy nursing. This top can be worn by itself as a bra tank or with a nursing bra underneath. You can wear it in public or for sleeping in. Either way it cuts the cost of having to pay $20-$50 for an expensive nursing tank. This is not intended to also be a maternity top, but you could easily add length to the front of the body piece to modify it for maternity.Instructions for Nursing Top, size L (similar to a Motherhood Maternity or Target size L nursing tank. Will fit busts size 34C through 40G. Sorry I am not set up for grading this pattern to other sizes at this time.
Pattern pieces include 5/8" seam allowance.
No pattern layout included. Lay pattern pieces out so that the stretchiest part of the fabric goes left to right across the bust, not top to bottom.

From performance cars like the SRT Viper to the paradigm-shattering Tesla Model S, 2012, was a great year for cars. Saying that 2013 will be even better treads dangerously close to hyperbole, but what else can you say about two hybrid supercars made by two of the most legendary names in the business, a redesigned version of a sports car icon, or new green luxury cars? You can expect all that and more, now that we know the Mayans were wrong.
Cadillac ELR
Cadillac's first plug-in hybrid is based on the Chevy Volt, but will take its styling from the 2009 Converj concept. A high tech plug-in that bears more than a passing resemblance to the CTS Coupe sounds like a pretty good package, so we're eager to see whether the ELR will perform like a luxury car while still sipping fuel like a Volt. It will also be the only green car that wouldn't look out of place in an F-117 Nighthawk stealth fighter's hangar. The ELR will make its public debut at the Detroit Auto Show in January, and will go into production sometime after that as a 2014 model.
Chevrolet Corvette C7
A new Corvette is always a big deal, and 2013 will see the introduction of seventh model to bear the name. The new Corvette, known as the C7 to its close friends, promises to be leaner and greener, while still giving sports car fans everything they expect.
Under the hood will be the newest version of General Motors' evergreen small block V8. Codenamed LT1, it will displace 6.2 liters and include variable valve timing and direct injection, two technologies that are new to the 'Vette. The new V8 will make the C7 the fastest accelerating standard Corvette ever (0 to 60 mph in under four seconds) and the most fuel efficient (26 mpg highway), Chevy says.
Other improvements include a hydroformed aluminum frame with carbon fiber body panels, an impressive touch on a car that will cost less than $60,000. Another impressive touch is the manual transmission which, like the 991 Porsche 911's, will have seven speeds.
The redesigned innards will be clothed in updated styling that should resemble the current C6 Corvette, but with new touches like square taillights and a more expressive front end. That new look will be unveiled on the eve of the Detroit Auto Show: January 13, 2013.
Ferrari F150 (F70)
As the successor to the 2003 Ferrari Enzo, and the Prancing Horse's first hybrid, it goes without saying that the F150 (also known as the F70) is a car we're very interested in. It will feature the F12berlinetta's V12 and an electric motor, potentially producing more than 800 hp. A Formula 1-style Kinetic Energy Recovery System (KERS) will provide the electricity. Ferrari also intends to make the F150 one of its lightest cars ever, with a target weight under 3,000 kilograms. Look for the F150 to bow at the Geneva Motor Show in March.
Infiniti LE
The first sub-Tesla luxury electric car will wear the Mt. Fuji badge of Nissan's luxury division. This isn't that surprising, since Nissan already has the Leaf to work off of. Introduced in concept form at the New York Auto Show last April, the LE will probably borrow heavily from the Leaf.
Infiniti will wrap those Leaf mechanicals in its signature styling, and says the LE will be as engaging to drive as its other products. It will also equip the LE with some unusual features: a wireless charging mat for owners' garages, and a light-up grille (this admittedly, may not make it to production).
Jaguar F-Type
Jaguar will return to the two-seat sports car segment with this sexy roadster. The F-Type (son of E-Type, get it?) is wrapped in styling from the 2011 C-X16 concept, and will come with a variety of supercharged V6 and V8 engines. Maximum power is 495 hp in the F-Type V8 S. Each engine is paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission, although Jag eschewed its rotary knob for a more traditional shift lever.
Jaguar promises Porsche Boxster-like handling and a 4.2 second 0 to 60 mph time and 186 mph top speed for the V8 S. Aiding handling and acceleration is a a lightweight aluminum body.
The F-Type will go into production as a 2014 model and will slot below the XK in Jag's lineup. The base model with a 3.0-liter, 340 hp, supercharged V6 will start at $69,000, a midrange F-Type S with the same V6 and 380 hp will cost $81,000, while a fully loaded F-Type V8 S will cost $92,000.
McLaren P1
The McLaren MP4-12C is a technological marvel, but its Woking, England-based maker is just getting started. The last time McLaren went all-out on a car, it built the fastest one in the world. With that pedigree, the McLaren P1 should be something special.
It certainly looks special. Remarkably, McLaren says the P1's shape is purely the result of aerodynamics (it generates a staggering 1,320 pounds of downforce) and the packaging requirements of mechanical components; there was no traditional "styling" involved. Still, the P1 looks pretty dramatic for a car shaped entirely by science.
As with every other McLaren, performance will be dramatic too. Specific horsepower has not been released, but McLaren says the P1 will have a power-to-weight ratio of 600 hp per ton. Over 700 hp seems likely, and the P1 will also be very light thanks to a mostly carbon fiber chassis.
The P1 was first shown as a concept at the Paris Motor Show last November, and production is expected to start in late 2013. McLaren will only build 500 of these exotic cars, so place your order now.
Porsche 918 Spyder
The Ferrari F70's natural rival takes the hybrid supercar game up a notch. Porsche's first supercar since the 2004 Carrera GT will be a plug-in hybrid, with a 500 hp, 4.6-liter V8 and two electric motors providing an additional 280 hp. That brings the total to 780 ponies.
Porsche says the 918 Spyder will sprint to 60 mph in 2.9 seconds, and reach a top speed of 210 mph. At the same time, Zuffenhausen is claiming 78 mpg, thanks in part to the fact that the 918 can propel itself to 94 mph on electricity alone. Drivers will be able to switch between electric, gasoline, and hybrid propulsion, depending on their mood.
If the 918's hybrid powertrain doesn't wow the public, its price will. Porsche is asking $845,000, and deliveries start September 18, 2013 (9/18).

A qualitative HCG blood test checks if there is a hormone called
Other HCG tests include:
HCG urine test Quantitative pregnancy test(checks specific level of HCG in your blood)
Alternative Names
Beta-HCG in blood serum - qualitative; Human chorionic gonadotrophin - serum - qualitative; Pregnancy test - blood - qualitative; Serum HCG - qualitative; HCG in blood serum - qualitative
How the test is performed
Blood is typically drawn from a vein, usually from the inside of the elbow or the back of the hand. The site is first cleaned with germ-killing medicine (antiseptic). The health care provider wraps an elastic band around the upper arm to apply pressure to the area and make the vein swell with blood.
Next, the health care provider gently inserts a needle into the vein. The blood collects into an airtight vial or tube attached to the needle. The elastic band is removed from your arm.
Once the blood has been collected, the needle is removed. The puncture site is covered with an adhesive bandageto stop any bleeding.
How to prepare for the test
No special preparation is necessary.
How the test will feel
When the needle is inserted to draw blood, some people feel moderate pain. Others feel only a prick or stinging. Afterward, there may be some throbbing.
Why the test is performed
Most often, this test is performed to determine if you are pregnant or not. HCG level in the bloodmay also be high in women with certain types of ovarian tumors or inmen with testicular tumors.
Normal Values
- The test is negative if you are not pregnant.
- The test is positive if you are pregnant.
What abnormal results mean
If yourblood HCG is positive and you do not have a pregnancy properly implanted in the uterus, it may indicate:
Ectopic pregnancy Miscarriage Testicular cancer(in men) Trophoblastic tumor Hydatidiform mole Ovarian cancer
What the risks are
There is very little risk in having your blood taken. Veins and arteries vary in size from one patient to another and from one side of the body to the other. Taking blood from some people may be more difficult than from others.
Other risksof having blood drawn are slight but may include:
- Excessive bleeding
- Fainting or feeling light-headed
- Blood accumulating under the skin (hematoma)
- Infection (a slight risk any time the skin is broken)
Special considerations
False positive tests may occur when certain hormones are increased, such as after
A pregnancy test is considered to be about 98% accurate. When the test is negative but pregnancy is still suspected, the test should be repeated in 1 week.

Investigators seek cause of deadly California limo fire
Investigators sought to determine on Monday what caused a stretch limousine to erupt into flames as it crossed a bridge over the San Francisco Bay
Investigators sought to determine on Monday what caused a stretch limousine to erupt into flames as it crossed a bridge over the San Francisco Bay, killing a new bride and four of her friends, law enforcement officials said.
Four other women suffered burns or smoke inhalation when the white Lincoln Town Car caught fire on Saturday night while traveling westbound over the San Mateo-Hayward bridge on its way to a party at a hotel in Foster City, located about 25 miles south of San Francisco overlooking the bay, the California Highway Patrol said.
The San Francisco Chronicle newspaper reported that among the dead was new bride Neriza Fojas, 31, who had been celebrating her recent marriage with eight female friends, all of them in their 30s or 40s.
Four of the women died alongside Fojas as they tried to escape from the burning limousine, law enforcement officials said. The four surviving women remained hospitalized on Monday. The driver was uninjured.
The San Mateo County medical examiner, Robert Foucrault, told reporters at a press conference on Monday morning that the deceased women were found clustered around a small opening in a partition between the passenger compartment and driver's seat.
"When we got there ... they were up against the partition," Foucrault said. "They were getting away from the fire and that's why they were in the front towards the partition. You could also probably say that they were trying to get out as well."
Law enforcement officials said it was too early to determine what caused the 1999 Town Car to catch fire at its rear end, pending an inspection of the limousine by mechanical experts and fire department investigators.
California Highway Patrol Captain Mike Maskarich said there was no evidence that the limo had been involved in a collision or struck any debris in the road. He said that it was carrying one more passenger than the eight than had been authorized.
"It was a horrible incident that happened," Kultar Singh, the owner of the car company, Limo Stop, told Reuters. "I send my condolences to the families that lost their lives. I'm very saddened."
The limousine's driver, Orville Brown, told CNN in an interview that he had picked up the nine women in Alameda, California, and that "everything was going fine" at first as he drove across the bridge.
At some point one of the women knocked on the partition and complained of smoke in the passenger compartment, but because of loud music playing in the car he at first misunderstood and thought the woman was asking to smoke a cigarette.
"I looked back and I just saw the grief, the anguish on her face and I started to smell the smoke, started seeing smoke, so I pulled over," Brown told CNN. "As soon as I pulled over, one of the ladies hops through the partition."
Brown said that two other cars pulled over and that their drivers tried to help, but by the time the rear door was opened it was already too late for the women who had been trapped inside the passenger compartment.
"It was horrific, just something that I never would have imagined to have happened," he said.
Brown told CNN that he was not aware of any mechanical issues with the limo and didn't know what caused the fire.
Foster City Fire Department investigator John Mapes told Reuters he had interviewed two of the surviving women, who told him that they had escaped the flames by climbing through the small window in the partition. Mapes said the limousine was still intact but badly damaged by fire.
The Chronicle reported that Fojas, a registered nurse who worked at a Fresno hospital, was heading to a bridal celebration at a hotel in Foster City where her husband was waiting. The couple was also planning to travel to her native Philippines next month for another ceremony with her family.
The five women died on the same day that a 26-year-old woman was killed after falling out of a bachelorette party bus onto a busy Kansas freeway and was struck by at least three vehicles.
Jamie N. Frecks was one of 17 women, including the bride-to-be, riding on the bus when she fell out of a side door.

Fennel Seed
Veterinarian Reviewed on June 14, 2012 by Paulina Nelega, RH
Posted in Uncategorized
Fennel Seed (Foeniculum vulgare)
Fennel yields both an herb and a spice. Every part of the plant is edible. The name is derived from the Latin word 'foeniculum' meaning 'little hay'. The fennel seed when dried is used as a spice. It was also called a 'meeting seed' by the Puritans who used to chew it during their long church meetings.
Fennel seed is oval shaped and is greenish yellow in color. It is a member of the parsley family. The fennel seed has a pleasant odor, which is highly aromatic and with a pungent flavor. The fruit is a dried seed that is roughly 4 to 10 mm long with a grooved appearance. The fennel plant is a perennial herb.
History and Origin
The fennel plant is a native to the Mediterranean area. Although it is originally from Europe, it is also cultivated in many parts of North America and in Asia. Ancient Greek athletes consumed fennel seed so as to gain strength and to stave off hunger during fasting periods. Fennel seed does not increase weight. The Romans used to cultivate fennel for it aromatic fruits, as well as for its edible shoots. The famous battle of Marathon against the Persians was fought on a field of fennel. History has it that snakes consumed fennel seeds while shedding their skin to restore their eyesight.
Ancient Uses
In ancient civilizations, Fennel was used in natural toothpastes as flavoring. The ancient Greeks would use fennel seeds to help improve lactation in breastfeeding mothers. It was also used in ancient times to promote healthy vision. In India, fennel seeds were eaten in its raw state for many generations in an effort to reduce high blood pressure, clear cloudy eyes and treat flatulence and bloating. Fennel seeds are included in many old folk remedies to reduce intestinal pain and indigestion. These seeds were made into a tea and sweetened with natural honey. This concoction was then drunk to relieve chronic coughs. Powdered fennel seed was also used to effectively drive away ticks and fleas from dog kennels and horse stables. It was also considered to be one of the best spices for fish dishes. Several liquors were also flavored with the help of fennel seeds.
Modern Uses
Fennel seed helps to solve the problem of water retention by acting as a diuretic. It also promotes the production of bile helping in easy digestion. The seeds also find use in making various herbal medicines and to solve the problem of flatulence. They open obstructions that are found in the liver, gallbladder and spleen. Fennel seed helps to treat yellow jaundice. Fennel seed was considered an official drug in the United States to treat indigestion. Fennel seed also helps to soothe spasms in muscles and relive stomach cramps.
Side Effects
Fennel seed increases the levels of estrogen in the bloodstream and should be avoided by pregnant women. Women with breast or uterine cancer also should avoid the intake of fennel seed. The seed has natural sugar content and should be consumed in moderate amounts by diabetics. People having liver problems should also take it after consulting a doctor first. A person who is allergic to carrots or celery should not consume fennel seeds as it causes photosensitivity in sunlight.

Boston Area Ranked 10th Metropolitan Area for Energy Star Labeled Buildings
Release Date: 04/11/2012
Contact Information: David Deegan, (617) 918-1017
(Boston, Mass. – April 11, 2012) – The Boston metropolitan area continued to be ranked in the top 25 metropolitan areas of the country for Energy Star labeled buildings in 2011. Boston was ranked number 10, up from number 12 in 2010.
During 2011, 161 buildings in the Boston area, with more than 44 million square feet of floor space, earned the Energy Star designation. EPA estimates that these buildings saved $61 million in energy costs and avoided emissions equivalent to the electricity usage in 4000 homes. The Boston Metropolitan area includes Norfolk, Plymouth, Suffolk, Middlesex, and Essex Counties in Massachusetts, and Rockingham and Strafford Counties in New Hampshire.
Energy use in commercial buildings accounts for nearly 20 percent of U.S. greenhouse gas emissions at cost of more than $100 billion per year. Buildings that earn the Energy Star certification must perform in the top 25 percent of buildings nationwide compared to similar buildings and must be independently verified by a licensed professional engineer or registered architect each year. Energy Star certified buildings use 35 percent less energy than their peers.
Buildings earning Energy Star labels in the Boston metropolitan area included a wide variety of building types including banks, hotels, office buildings, retail stores, warehouses, houses of worship and senior care facilities. Notable in 2011, 25 K-12 schools earned labels. Retail companies receiving multiple labels included Target (18), Staples (17), and Sears Holding Company (6). Also notable were the number of office buildings that received labels, those under management by Boston Properties (13), CBRE New England (13), and Jones Lang LaSalle (12).
"We applaud the sound energy management and innovation shown by these companies and institutions in their efforts to reduce operating costs and energy demand," said Curt Spalding, regional administrator of EPA's New England office. "Energy efficiency also remains one of the most effective methods to reduce greenhouse gas emissions."
Launched in 1992 by EPA, Energy Star is a market based partnership to reduce greenhouse gas emissions through energy efficiency. This year marks Energy Star's 20th anniversary. Over the past 20 years, with help from Energy Star, American families and businesses have saved about $230 billion on utility bills and prevented more than 1.7 billion metric tons of carbon pollution. Today, the Energy Star label can be found on more than 60 different kinds of products, and more than 1.3 million new homes and 16,500 buildings across America have earned EPA's Energy Star certification.

Mattyhaies necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 65 diseños de 20 diseñadores freelance.
We are experienced Internet advertising professionals who are creating commercial products and services that enhance consumer privacy while enabling advertisers and web publishers to make more effective use of data. Many companies in the online advertising industry feel forced to choose between revenue-driving practices that violate user privacy and responsible privacy practices that sacrifice revenue opportunities. We believe that we have developed solutions that will bridge this gap and foster trust in an industry that is lacking it.
We will be a business-to-business solution whose clients will primarily be online advertisers and their advertising agencies, but we will also be serving web publishers, legislators and regulators in both the US and Europe, and privacy advocates. In addition, we intend to be consumer-facing, as we hope our logo will ultimately serve as a public seal of online advertising best practices.
We want our logo both to represent our company and, at some point, also to be able to serve as a trusted symbol in the online advertising industry. If our project is successful, we would expect advertisers to include our logo on their websites and perhaps even in their online advertisements as well.
We want the company name -- PrivaCeed -- to be part of the logo, perhaps in clean, simple, bold letters beneath a symbol. We have considered a letter "P" that incorporated a key, a keyhole or a lock, but that may be too much of a cliche or too cheesy. We would like the symbol to be able to be removed from the full logo (without the company name) and used as a stand-alone.
We're looking for something that feels strong and secure without seeming ominous or heavy. We were thinking of medium-to-dark green or blue as the primary color, but we are not wedded to either.
Definitely, no animals or feminine colors.

EPA Announces Recipients of 2012 Environmental Justice Small Grants
Release Date: 12/06/2012
Contact Information: Benjamin Washburn, 913-551-7364, firstname.lastname@example.com
Environmental News
(Lenexa, Kan., Dec. 6, 2012) - Today, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced a total of $1.2 million in competitive grants awarded to 50 non-profit and tribal organizations working to address environmental justice issues nationwide. The grants enable non-profit organizations to conduct research, provide education, and develop solutions to local health and environmental issues in low-income communities overburdened by harmful pollution.
"EPA's environmental justice grants provide important support to community-based organizations working to advance environmental justice at the local level," said Lisa Garcia, senior advisor to the administrator for environmental justice. "This year's grants will help organizations in 26 states and Puerto Rico perform projects that will educate residents about environmental issues that may impact their health, collect data about local environmental conditions, and work to address environmental justice issues in their communities."
The 2012 grants support activities that address a range of community concerns including restoring and protecting waterways, reducing exposure to air pollutants from diesel exhaust, and seeking healthier alternatives to household pesticides.
Environmental justice is defined as the fair treatment and meaningful involvement of all people, regardless of race or income, in the environmental decision-making process. Since 1994, EPA's Environmental Justice Small Grants program has supported projects to address environmental justice issues in more than 1,300 communities. The grants represent EPA's continued commitment to expand the conversation on environmentalism and advance environmental justice in communities across the nation.
