Lou Reed Dead at 71
The rock icon's cause of death hasn't been released.
Lou Reed has died at 71, according to a report from Rolling Stone. No cause of death has been released, but Reed underwent a liver transplant in May. The tremendously influential guitarist, singer, and songwriter was born in Brooklyn and grew up on Long Island. He founded the Velvet Underground, which served as the house band at Andy Warhol's studio The Factory. Their debut album The Velvet Underground & Nico was not a commercial success when it was released in 1967, but it was later celebrated as one of the most significant albums of all time. Reed sang and wrote many of the band's biggest songs, including "Heroin," "Sister Ray," "Sweet Jane," "Rock and Roll," "Venus in Furs," "All Tomorrow's Parties," "What Goes On" and "Lisa Says." The group was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1996.
Reed left the band in 1970 and went on to have a successful solo career. He had several hits, including "Perfect Day," "Satellite of Love," and "Dirty Blvd." "Walk on the Wild Side," his tribute to the hustlers, transvestites, and other outcasts who inhabited New York in the seventies, remains his most famous song.
In 2008, Reed married performance artist and musician Laurie Anderson. He continued to produce music throughout his life, and his most recent album was 2011's Lulu, a collaboration with Metallica.
At SXSW in 2008, music producer Hal Wilner introduced his friend Reed by saying, "Lou is to rock and roll what Miles Davis is to jazz." He added, "This guy has changed the way we look at rock and roll like half a dozen times and people have followed him. You have a lot of people who changed the way they looked, performed and approached music because of him. It's unbelievable. He's a true leader, a true king of rock and roll in every way."

New Words and Connecting Ideas
Lesson 2 of 6
Objective: SWBAT define new words and describe the connection between a series of historical events.
- Informational Text that with historical concepts that can be shown on a timeline. I used The The Bald Eagle (to demonstrate) and my students used The White House, and The American Flag, by Tristan Boyer Binns - The author has written a many books about American symbols, which are all excellent. You'll need one for each group, unless you're doing one book as a whole group.**
- Lesson vocabulary words from the Reading/Writing word wall: bold words, illustrations, timeline, glossary, heading, table of contents (whatever text features that your book has)
- Set up the whiteboard
- SIP chart (Sentence-Illustration-Parts of a Word)
- lined paper
- sentence strip for each group
I chose these texts because they have information about our Social Studies unit. These books are REALLY nice because they are at the 2nd grade level and have several short chapters about the history of the American symbol. You can use any historical informational text with this strategy-just preview the text to make sure you identify the words to define and it has time-ordered events.
The Common Core standards encourage students to use academic vocabulary to build and use knowledge in the Social Studies and Science disciplines. In this lesson, students are defining vocabulary by using context clues and informational text features. (RI.2.4) They are then organizing this information in a timeline, which deepens their understanding of the concepts. (RI.2.3) By using the new vocabulary in the timeline, they are generalizing what they've learned.
I've done several lessons with the SIP strategy with informational text. They include What's the Word Mean-Informational Text and Wording Creates Images.
** I used an alternate text the second time I taught this lesson, because we were studying the colonies. The texts were a bit harder, but had excellent text features and the kids were fascinated with the information.

Let's Get Excited!
Underlined words below are lesson vocabulary words that are emphasized and written on sentence strips for my Reading & Writing word wall. I pull off the words off the wall for each lesson, helping students understand this key 'reading and writing' vocabulary can be generalized across texts and topics. The focus on acquiring and using these words is part of a shift in the Common Core Standards towards building students' academic vocabulary. My words are color coded 'pink' for literature/'blue' for reading strategies/'orange' for informational text/'yellow' for writing/'green' for all other words)
Get students engaged
- I showed the books about the American symbols. My kids had lots of ideas and lots of questions. Our discussion made them more eager to read the books.
- We did a bit of connecting - "We've been talking about American symbols in social studies. Do you see those symbols on these books?" and "Where do we see the flag?"
- I typically will throw in a few vocabulary words that are in the book, "These are symbols." or "Yes, that's the seal for the US."
- This is how it sounded when I was bringing in background information.
Students' natural curiosity and a picture prompt (from the book) are many times all it takes to motivate students. They love to learn and have seen these symbols before so the connection and ability to bring in background knowledge naturally follows.

Teacher's Turn
Give the purpose of the lesson
- "Today we'll read our text and discuss the bold print that shows us new vocabulary. This vocabulary can help us put the historical events in order."
- These books have LOTS of text features that help us - glossary, table of contents.... (I go through the word cards on the board). Here's how it looked when I introduced the task and answered questions about colors.
- "We can use 3 things to help us find the meaning of new words.
- The sentence that the word is in
- The illustration that might be on the page
- The parts of the word.
- "I call this SIP (sentence, illustration, parts of the word)."
- "We'll use this SIP today and connect the historical events."
Introduce strategy - teacher models
- "When we have a new text, we always 'pre-read'. We take a moment and look over the pictures, text and text features that might help us. I notice this book has photos, pictures, words, headings, table of contents, glossary, and captions. There's also a great couple of chapters of the book that tell about the history of the flag."
- "I'll read up to the part about the history. In that section, I'll look for words that are in bold print or other words that I don't know. Then I'll stop and try my SIP strategy."
- Read up to page 16 and reflect on the bold words.
- "Let's try to SIP strategy and make a list with the words and and definitions."
- "The first word is 'independent'. I'll read the sentence again and try to figure out the meaning. It says it's a country. We talked about it being 'free from England'. I'll write that for the definition."
- "The second word is 'founders'. The sentence doesn't help, but there's a great illustration so I'll write 'people who started the country'."
- "Let's try that again for the next 2 pages.....
- "There's the word 'seal'... I know that word from the illustration on the cover so I'll write 'symbol that represents'."
Practice strategy - guided practice
- "Let's do one together.... look at the next 2 pages. The word is 'sworn in'. Can you help me look at the SIP strategy?"
- "The sentence says does not help and the illustration shows only George Washington.
- Part of the word is 'swore' which is the past tense of 'swear', which means 'promise'."
- Here's a look at our discussion during guided practice about the vocabulary.
- "Let's finish the bold words. 'Patriotism' is the last word... Have students use the SIP to determine the meaning. My students helped me write to 'love your country'. "

Students Take a Turn
Set up groups
- Assign books to the students or groups.
- If you are working in groups, go over the rules of good group work.
- Here's a poster that my students made at the beginning of the year.
Assign Task
- "I have a book for you to work on with your group."
- "Read the book and find the pages about history. Make a list of bold words and definitions. You can include other words that you don't know as well.
- Remember to use the SIP strategy - look at the sentences, illustrations, and parts of the word."
- "Make a list of words and their definitions. When you're done, you can check the glossary to see if your definitions are correct."
- This is an example of student's paper.
Formative Assessment
- Walk around as students work. Ask them about their vocabulary and definitions.
- "Why did you pick that word?"
- "Can you show me how you found that definition - sentences, illustration or part of the word?"
- "Why did you write that definition?"
- Remind students if they ask about spelling to use the text. Here's a discussion about using the text to spell words.
Resources (3)
Share What You've Learned
Demonstrate the project: "We need to organize our ideas to show the history of your symbol. Typically we organize history ideas into a timeline."
- "I'm going to draw a line and write the events in order, adding the dates if the book has them. Use some of the new vocabulary words that you wrote. I may want to do a little math to figure out the dates. I'll use my new vocabulary and ideas I've learned to show how the bald eagle became a national symbol."
- "On page 16, there's the first date and event. I'll write 1776 and use the word 'founders' and 'independent' to write 'The founders made America independent'." This is how I demonstrated the project.
- "It says '6 years went by', so I'll add 1776+6 and write 1782 and write 'The eagle was on the seal for America'.
- Here's what my completed teacher project looked like.
Assign the task
- "Work with your group to create a timeline. Use some of your new words and remember to put the events in order. You may not have a date for each one, but put them in order."
- When they're done, have students present their timeline to the class.
- Here's an example of a completed student project.
As students spend time working with a group to create the project, they are following agreed upon rules of discussion, collaborating and turn taking. This group work allows an expectation of active participation of all students (SL.2.1a), a key shift in the Common Core Standards. They are able to add to others' discussions, get clarification and practice the skill of collaboration that will be needed to be college and career ready.
Scaffolding and Special Education: This lesson could be easily scaffolded up or down, dependingon student ability.
When you work in groups, students have a chance to highlight their strengths. Make sure a capable student reads the chapter and another is in charge of writing. Students with academic challenges can still contribute to the discussion about the definitions and certainly help create the timeline.
For my group with the most academic challenges, I chose to lead them through the definitions. Here's how that looked when I prompted students with academic challenges.

Lockheed Martin Awarded $119 Million Radar Contract to Defend Against Anti-Ship and Ballistic Missile Threats
Oct 01, 2010, 08:07 ET
MOORESTOWN, N.J., Oct. 1 /PRNewswire/ -- The U.S. Navy awarded Lockheed Martin (NYSE: LMT) a $119 million contract to demonstrate its conceptual designs for the Air and Missile Defense Radar (AMDR) intended to upgrade the Navy's future capability against advanced anti-ship and ballistic missile threats.
Lockheed Martin was one of three industry teams competitively selected to advance its designs for the AMDR S-band radar and the radar suite controller under a 24-month technology demonstration phase contract.
"Lockheed Martin's AMDR design provides a high performance radar suite capable of supporting simultaneous multi-mission operations in stressing environments, balanced with affordable lifecycle costs," said Carl Bannar, vice president of Radar Systems. "Our team has developed an open-architecture and modular design that has matured technologies through significant investment by our company and the Navy."
The AMDR suite is scalable and can accommodate current and future mission requirements for multiple platforms. The AMDR S-band radar will provide volume search, tracking, ballistic missile defense discrimination and missile communications. The AMDR X-band radar, part of a separate procurement, will provide horizon search, precision tracking, missile communication and terminal illumination. Both radars will be integrated by the radar suite controller, which will provide the appropriate interfaces between the two radar bands and the ship's combat system.
A leader in S-band radar development and production, Lockheed Martin has more than 40 years of experience in the design, production and sustainment of naval radars for surface combatants. The company's SPY-1 family of radars – with proven anti-air warfare and ballistic missile defense multi-mission capability – is fielded on nearly 100 surface combatant ships worldwide. The SPY-1 solution delivers the desired capability with minimal development costs.
Headquartered in Bethesda, Md., Lockheed Martin is a global security company that employs about 136,000 people worldwide and is principally engaged in the research, design, development, manufacture, integration and sustainment of advanced technology systems, products and services. The Corporation's 2009 sales from continuing operations were
$44.5 billion.

Don't Piss on the New York Times Paywall
At least not yet.
How long have I been throwing my dollar wads over the New York Times paywall? Oh, since about 1985. Measured in 2011 money, I've probably dropped between $17,000 and $18,000 on the newsprint version of the paper. Just think, if only I had used that money to purchase Apple stock on the installment plan I'd be rich today instead of a wage slave.
So, naturally, I feel grouchy about my Times subscription every time it comes to mind, which is monthly, when the bill arrives. So it's only natural that today's announcement by the Times that its long-awaited paywall will rise on March 28 is making me feel worse. Oh, I don't resent the Times wanting to maximize its return on its investment. Lord knows it should have handled its money better, if only to have kept it from the ignominy of begging Carlos Slim for a bailout a couple of years ago.
But the erecting of the new paywall has reopened the running debate in my head. Have I been a sucker for subscribing to the Times all these years? I'm sure that an economist could explain to me why, whenever I think about having spent $18,000 on the Times, I want to kill myself, but that the actual monthly payment of the $57.78 bill only makes me grumble. I shrug when I get that bill and say, well, I like the obits and the books coverage, Joe Nocera is terrific even if he's making the mistake of joining the op-ed page blowfish, I live for Dwight Garner, the Sunday autos page is fun sometimes, the wife likes the magazine, and whenever the world is going straight to hell, as it has been for the past decade, that section where they put the news—is it called the A section?—comes in handy. Plus, the bogus trend factory that the Times runs keeps me in fresh Press Box copy and thus financially solvent.
Oh, I publicly canceled my Times subscription a couple of years ago but found myself resubscribing because I love the smell of newsprint in the morning, but the paywall system has me revisiting the whole idea of shelling out what feels like a tithe. The mix-and-match of Times subscription options detailed in today's "Digital Subscriptions and Premium Products" FAQ doesn't make it easy to decide which way to pay for or not pay for the Times. It makes the privacy notices that come with credit cards read like a Dick and Jane primer. They're going to have to reassign Public Editor Arthur S. Brisbane from his editorial duties to clean up the consumer relations mess that will be left behind! Should I stick with my pricey Times print subscription, which will give me access to NYTimes.com, or should I try to save money with a purely digital subscription? But which one? There are three of them! Or should I read my 20 free articles a month and then mooch what I can from Twitter, Facebook, Google, and Bing? What if I want the crossword? If I want to read a digital subscription on both my iPhone and my iPad I'll have to pay twice? I'll bet this confusion is giving Señor Slim headaches, too, and he's the richest man in the world.
The paywall has given BoingBoing's congenital paywall-hater Cory Doctorow a heart attack. "No one will be able to figure out how it works," he bellows of the new quota system. Then he goes into overdrive imagining the way readers will sneak over the paywall. They'll turn off cookies. When the Times plants secret permacookies and uses third-party beacons, someone out there will release a "browser redirection service that pipes links to nytimes.com through auto-generated tweets, creating valid Twitter referrers to Times stories that aren't blocked by the paywall" or something even more imaginative. Doctorow worries also, as I do, about the paywall making it harder to link to the Times—or at least having any confidence that people will have enough quota-clicks left to read the Times pieces we link to in our stories.
Doctorow's fury is matched by Felix Salmon's bafflement. The Reuters blogger takes a shot at explaining the paywall's pricing but quickly gives up. "The message being sent here is weird," he wrote. "The pricing structure is also a strong disincentive to use the iPad app at all" and "the paywall won't even cover its own development costs for a good two years."
"I just can't see how this move makes any kind of financial sense for the NYT. The upside is limited; the downside is that it ceases to be the paper of record for the world. Who would take that bet?" he concludes.
Of course we wouldn't be having this conversation if we hadn't been spoiled for the last 15 years with unlimited free links to Times stories (I'm deliberately blocking out the TimesSelect experiment). I predict major turmoil in the coming weeks as the Times invades Canada with the beta version of its paywall and then brings it to the States. Everyone will be miserable, everyone will be yelling at the Times, its writers will be bellyaching, and then, I hope, the paper will quickly figure out simpler pricing so I won't have to get out my calculator to figure out which orifice I'm getting screwed in.
Nobody disputes the assertion that the Times cannot survive without increasing its revenues. Because I need the Times in my life—to read and to bitch about—I have no problem with the paper ejecting as many free-riders as necessary and soaking as many of the habituated (you're looking at one) to make the paper prosper. So as we pick the mortar from the paywall and heave the loose bricks over the top at the Times noggins, keep this in mind: The pricing scheme and process by which the paper evicts its millions of squatters doesn't have to be perfect, it just has to increase revenues appreciably. If it does that, I'll be happy to call it a success.

Alex is not what I would call "show quality". She is too tall for a bitch. What they would call "long legged or racy", and of terrier type, as opposed to bull type, old type, refined type, where the ideal (in my opinion) should be somewhere in between.
Luke is also long legged and racy, and like Alex, a couple inches over standard height, but he is a more refined type.
Willie, my first staff, was correct size, more old type.
Vega is MY ideal half and half. I need to get some body profile pics.

A740 - Astrobiology Seminar - Fall 2007
DescriptionInterdisciplinary seminar series on astrobiology and water in the universe. During this semester we will highlight research within our group and collaborators at UH, along with talks from US and international NAI visitors. Topics this semester include discussion of the building blocks of planets, evolution in small solar system bodies, evidence for water on Mars, discussion of team member field work in Atnarctica, at the Loihi sea mount and in the Canadian high arctic, as well as discussion of upcoming space missions.
Course StructureWhile designed as a graduate level seminar, because of the interdisciplinary nature of the group, efforts will be made to provide background material in each of the topic areas. This course will be open to all levels of graduate students, as well as upper level undergraduates. Students will synthesize the research presentations to bring them to a level understandable by the general public and will write up short articles on the research. In addition students will develop a glossary of astrobiology terms that will be submitted to the NASA Astrobiology Institute as part of their glossary development initiative. Reading material will be assigned before each seminar to provide the context for the science discussions. The articles will be posted on our team website for Reseach Discoveries in Astrobiology. Grades will be based on the Web magazine articles and participation in discussions during the seminar.

|Closing Reception: Sunday, July 26
Intricacies of Phantom Content
New Work by Hilary Pecis
May 15 - July 26, 2009
Closing Reception: Sunday, July 26 (special performances TBA)
@Triple Base
Thursday-Sunday 12-5pm
3041 24th Street,
San Francisco, CA 94110
On 24th St- heart of the Mission.
Love Hilary's mixed media work.
The B/W bits are drawn and the rest are from magazines and books with some arcylic added for good measure.
Pecis's mixed media works are varied iterations of an imagined post-apocalyptic landscape, where consumer goods are hemorrhaging from a rock-like skeletal system. Evolution is depicted in the detailed layers of rock, along with gelatinous collaged pieces used to describe tumors growing exponentially. Pecis assembles images and shards from glossy magazine pages and repositions them in a continually expanding and mutating environment. Shine and sparkle are everywhere, attracting the attention of, while distracting the viewer from the disarray of the landscape. Pecis's multi-layered work is underpinned by her interest in a postmodern identity that is increasingly driven by superficial consumer frenzy and media culture.
She also had a few paintings which I really liked.
Triple Base's Dina Pugh.
There's a small hole in the floor towards the front of the gallery which leads to this great little basement area.
Elyse Mallouk video installation
Triple Base's underground project space will feature a multi-channel video installation by Elyse Mallouk. Diamonds drip from the rafters and the cracks in the walls, filling the gallery basement and accumulating in a stack of editioned prints, free to take

What to CookAmanda & Merrill
Creamy Butternut Squash Soup with Sherry
- Merrill
One of the things I most look forward to about the fall is soup. My father can -- and does -- eat a bowl of hot soup for lunch 350 days out of the year. As I discovered on my honeymoon last year, in East Africa, it's typical to eat hot soup as a starter for nearly every meal, even if you're sitting outside in 95-degree weather. Me, I like to reserve my hot soup for cold weather.
Perhaps it's because some of my favorite soups revolve around quintessentially autumnal ingredients: root vegetables, dried beans, and especially winter squash. I've been making the same basic butternut squash soup for years, adding twists and tweaks as I see fit, and it never fails to satisfy me when a chill enters the air. It's smooth and creamy, the way I think squash soup should be, and it's the perfect thing to whip up over the weekend to have in your fridge all week long. This version relies on sherry for depth and a little intrigue -- if you don't have sherry on hand, you can skip it, or just substitute with brandy (Madeira would be nice) if you have some lying around.
Creamy Butternut Squash Soup with Sherry
Serves 4 to 6
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 large leek, white and light green part only, chopped (about 1 cup)
- 1 3-to-4-pound butternut squash, peeled and cubed
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground nutmeg
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- Salt
- 3 tablespoons dry sherry, plus more to finish
- 2 to 3 cups chicken stock
- 1 cup milk
- 2 tablespoons heay cream, plus more for serving

What's Up With the Arizona Housing Market?
December 29, 2011
Sales – that is "what's up"
2011 has seen quite an increase in buyer activity across the state.
Let's use data on both the Tucson and Phoenix metro areas to exemplify buyer activity, since they represent the 2 largest population centers in the state. Given the context that there was a homebuyer tax credit stimulus in 2010 which was not in place for 2011, the increases in buyer activity in 2011 are quite dramatic.
Closed Residential Sales
Tucson – 16% Increase
Jan-Oct 2011 – 10,762
Jan-Oct 2010 – 9,280
Phoenix – 12.5% increase
Jan-Oct 2011 – 86,799
Jan-Oct 2010 – 77,141
New Under Contract Residential Properties
Tucson – 27.5% increase
Jan-Oct 2011 – 13,977
Jan-Oct 2010 – 10,963
Phoenix – 9.6% Increase
Jan-Oct 2011 – 82,140
Jan-Oct 2010 – 74,958
Data obtained from TARMLS and ARMLS respectively using BrokerMetrics software
So Demand is Up – What About the Supply Side, in other words Listings?
The number of Active Listings is down, meaning there is less product on the market to sell to potential buyers. Comparing October 2011 to October 2010, Tucson listing inventory is down 28% and Phoenix is down 40%.
One way to evaluate the "health" of the housing market is to look at "Months Of Inventory", which takes into account both buyer demand and listing supply. In other words, it is how many months it would take to sell the current inventory of listings at the current sales rate. 5 to 6 Months of inventory is typically considered a "healthy" mix of supply and demand, below 5 is considered a seller's market and above 6 a buyer's market. So how do we stack up? In Tucson there is 5.6 Months of Inventory and in Phoenix 3.6. So technically we are in more of a balanced market, in Phoenix you may even argue a seller's market, than one might guess.
And Pricing?
Of course the price of increased affordability for buyers is a reality check for sellers. Pricing has dropped over the last 2 years in both Tucson and Phoenix, though there has been some recent stabilization and increased demand will further stabilize prices. A major component to price decreases has been the product mix, with over 50% of the residential sales being distressed.

What is this Shadow Inventory?
There are numerous ways to define shadow inventory, and different data sources define it differently. For illustration purposes we will use data from Core Logic and a report from Standard & Poor's.
This chart represent the months to clear shadow inventory by county. What you can interpret from the map is that Arizona has one of the lowest supplies of Shadow Inventory in the nation. What does this mean? It means that in other states it will take a longer time than Arizona to work through the shadow inventory of potential distressed properties, and in Arizona we are closer to housing recovery.
Definition of shadow inventory used in this report:
Shadow inventory includes all outstanding properties for which borrowers are 90 days or more delinquent on their mortgage payments, properties in foreclosure, and properties that are real estate owned (REO). Also included 70% of the loans that "cured" from being 90 days delinquent (loans that once again became current) within the past 12 months because cured loans are more likely to redefault. The calculation of the months to clear the shadow inventory is the ratio of the total volume of distressed loans to the six-month moving average of liquidations.
- Buyer Activity is up. More homes are being sold fueled by increased affordability
- There is a more balanced relationship between supply (listings) and demand (buyers)
- Pricing continues to be impacted by a high percentage of distressed property sales
- Arizona has one of the lowest months supply of shadow inventory, meaning our rise from the housing crisis is happening faster than in other markets.

The Durango Adult Learning Center helps sponsor an annual coffee festival every September. This event, plus Durangos week of beer-related events taking place as I write this blog did not get much press this year, at least from this writer. I feel bad about that, because Durango is a coffee and artisan beer community.
By way of explanation, The Durango Herald uses freelance writers and editors, in conjunction with in-house staff including photographers, to create the weekly Food and Nutrition section. Because we share resources, its critical that we hear about food-related events a month ahead of time, to allow us to schedule coverage. Annual events can be put on the calendar six weeks ahead. All it takes is an email with the basic info to firstname.lastname@example.com you can add the details later.
I went to last weeks coffee festival and helped two others judge coffee-infused appetizers and desserts. Appearance mattered and played a significant part in the judging. So did the presence of coffee, as that was the purpose of the festival to celebrate its flavor and wide application of uses.
Some of the desserts, such as Lynn Dearys entry, were beautiful and well-executed. Dearys cupcakes did not win because the flavor of coffee was not prominent enough to pack a punch. Still, they were my personal favorite.
After the judging, I told Lynn that I loved the balance between the chocolate and stronger almond with the coffee, but the coffee flavoring was not pronounced enough to take first place.
Judges did not see the recipes. Still, I was not put off when I learned of its simplicity she started with a cake mix and added pudding. I suggested she substitute cold coffee for the water in the package directions.
Deary sent me the recipe, amended with this change and I want to share it with you.
These cupcakes were moist and light, and were dessert. In our suddenly raised consciousness about the amount of white sugar, flour and fat in desserts, just about everything is verboten. Decide you want dessert and surrender to the ingredients. Or skip it. Theres no half way.
Lynns Java Cake or Cupcakes
For cake:
1 package Devils Food cake mix
¾ cup instant coffee granules
1 3.4-ounce package instant vanilla pudding mix
½ to ¾ cup powdered sugar
For icing:
1¾ pound powdered sugar
2 sticks butter
5 tablespoons instant coffee granules
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1½ teaspoons almond extract
¼ teaspoon salt
5 tablespoons heavy cream
Preheat oven to temperature indicated on cake mix package.
Prepare cake mix using package directions, EXCEPT substitute strong, brewed, cold coffee for water.
Add instant coffee granules, pudding mix and ½ to ¾ cup powdered sugar to batter. Mix well.
Line cupcake tin with cupcakes papers and fill ¾ full. Bake for 22 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean.
Allow to cool completely.
Combine all icing ingredients and frost cupcakes.
Prepare for a wonderful caffeine and sugar buzz, and enjoy! Thanks, Lynn.

Many cancers contain cell subpopulations that display characteristics of stem cells. Because these cancer stem cells (CSCs) appear to provide resistance to chemo-radiation therapy, development of therapeutic agents that target CSCs is essential.
Curcumin is a phytochemical agent that is currently used in clinical trials to test its effectiveness against cancer. However, the effect of curcumin on CSCs is not well established.
The current study evaluated curcumin-induced cell death in six cancer cell lines derived from human esophageal squamous cell carcinomas.
Moreover, these cell lines and the ones established from cells that survived curcumin treatments were characterized.
Cell loss was assayed after TE-1, TE-8, KY-5, KY-10, YES-1, and YES-2 cells were exposed to 20-80 muM curcumin for 30 hrs. Cell lines surviving 40 or 60 muM curcumin were established from these six original lines. The stem cell markers aldehyde dehydrogenase-1A1 (ALDH1A1) and CD44 as well as NF-kappaB were used to compare CSC-like subpopulations within and among the original lines as well as the curcumin-surviving lines. YES-2 was tested for tumorsphere-forming capabilities. Finally, the surviving lines were treated with 40 and 60 muM curcumin to determine whether their sensitivity was different from the original lines.
The cell loss after curcumin treatment increased in a dose-dependent manner in all cell lines. [Larger doses, increased cancer cell destruction.]
The percentage of cells remaining after 60 muM curcumin treatment varied from 10.9% to 36.3% across the six lines. The cell lines were heterogeneous with respect to ALDH1A1, NF-kappaB and CD44 expression. KY-5 and YES-1 were the least sensitive and had the highest number of stem-like cells whereas TE-1 had the lowest.
The curcumin-surviving lines showed a significant loss in the high staining ALDH1A1 and CD44 cell populations. Tumorspheres formed from YES-2 but were small and rare in the YES-2 surviving line. The curcumin-surviving lines showed a small but significant decrease in sensitivity to curcumin when compared with the original lines.
Our results suggest that curcumin not only eliminates cancer cells but also targets cancer stem cells.
Therefore, curcumin may be an effective compound for treating esophageal and possibly other cancers in which cancer stem cells can cause tumor recurrence.

Firefighters responding to a two-alarm fire on Hancock Street near Hickock Street in Point Loma found a little more than they bargained for Nov. 10.
While knocking down the flames in an industrial area with multiple businesses and storage areas, firefighters stumbled on an extensive marijuana-production facility, which is now part of a police investigation, according to officials with the San Diego Fire-Rescue Department.
The blaze damaged several buildings in the complex, including an auto body shop, a machine shop, an office building and a storage facility being used by SeaWorld San Diego, said authorities.
The fire is believed to have been triggered by an electrical problem, although investigators were continuing to study surveillance video. Despite initial concerns of hazardous materials, none were found at the site.
Damage was estimated at about $500,000 for all of the affected business. No injuries were reported and the flames were extinguished in about 20 minutes, said fire officials.
Bomb threat suspect sent to mental hospital
A man who allegedly made a bomb threat to a police officer at Robb Field in Ocean Beach has been committed to a state mental hospital after a judge found the defendant wasn't mentally competent to stand trial.
San Diego Superior Court Judge Fred Maguire ordered the commitment for Kreighton John Kilgore, 27, after reviewing Kilgore's psychiatric evaluations. Kilgore will be housed at Patton State Hospital, and doctors will notify the judge if Kilgore regains his mental competence.
Police received a call July 20 from a woman who said a man told her about a bomb in a mailbox and that he had threatened her. A police officer responded and Kilgore told him about a bomb, though no explosives were found.
Kilgore is also charged with battery of a police officer when he allegedly spit on the officer during his arrest.

NTC Foundation fetes Phase 2 milestone Nov. 15
In a high-profile grand-opening event featuring District 2 City Councilman Kevin Faulconer, NTC Foundation officials celebrated completion of the $23 million development on Nov. 15.
The project, which involved the redevelopment of eight historic Navy buildings that were once part of the former Naval Training Center, is a milestone, considering the difficult economic times, according to Alan Ziter, executive director of the NTC Foundation.
"You can build a community center based on arts and culture — and family programming; it can survive and thrive," said Ziter.
The civilianized sprawl, known today as Liberty Station, has become a mecca for arts and cultural entities, including museums, dance studios and art studios.
Even as the grand opening of Phase 2 was being celebrated, NTC Foundation officials noted the fact that the eight redeveloped buildings were already 60 percent full with new tenants.
Robber with personalized plates pleads guilty
A Point Loma bank robber whose getaway car bore a license plate with his own last name pleaded guilty Nov. 1 to armed bank robbery.
Robert Nathan Alm, 27, admitted he robbed Chase Bank at 3609 Midway Drive on Jan. 14, in which nearly $3,000 was stolen. Someone wrote down the getaway vehicle's personalized license plate: ALMDUDE.
The maximum sentence is 25 years in federal prison, but the judge is likely to give him a lesser sentence because of federal sentencing guidelines.
Sentencing is set for Feb. 11 before U.S. District Court Magistrate Judge Mitchell Dembin. Alm is being held without bail.
— Neal Putnam Liberty Station to fete Convair with new exhibit
The NTC Foundation at Liberty Station is preparing to curate another permanent exhibit honoring Reuben H. Fleet and the impact contractor Consolidated Aircraft Corp. (later Convair) had on San Diego, its economy and the lives of San Diegans during World War II and beyond.
The exhibit, being installed now at the former Naval Training Center inside the historic NTC Command Center at 2640 Historic Decatur Road, will be the focus of an event Nov. 17 at 10:30 a.m., during which former Consolidated Aircraft employees and their families are asked to bring artifacts and stories from their experiences with the company. Historian Jennifer Garey will be on hand to view artifacts and record stories for consideration in the exhibit. The NTC Foundation will dedicate a bench in the Sybil Stockdale Rose Garden in the name of William F. Chana, a test pilot for Consolidated Aircraft and author of the book "Roger, Over & Out."
Founded by Reuben H. Fleet in 1923, Consolidated Aircraft became one of the most significant aircraft manufacturers in American history. It built some of the most important aircraft in aviation history, including the PBY Catalina, B-24 Liberator, Convair 880 airliner, F-102 Delta Dagger and the reliable Atlas missile, which was vital in launching America into space.

Examples of information we may receive from other sources includes updated delivery or payment information which we use to correct our records, purchase or redemption information, customer support or enrollment information, page view, search term and search result information from business partners, and credit or identity information which we use to help prevent and detect fraud.
How Do We Use Personal Information?
Every time you turn on a device, connect to a network, or open a file, you are exposed to significant risk from hackers, malware, spyware, and other forms of unauthorized access to your data and systems. Security products and services, such as McAfee's, are designed to help protect you from these risks.
Security and Threat Detection. By collecting and processing data, including Personal Information, McAfee can help to predict threats and better protect you, your devices, and your information. For example, McAfee may use your information to:
- Analyze data sent to/from your device(s) to isolate and identify threats, vulnerabilities, suspicious activity, and attacks;
- Assess the reputation of a device or file to advise you on whether access should be granted;
- Participate in threat intelligence networks and conduct research and analysis, including market and consumer research and trend analysis; and
- Adapt products and services to respond to new threats.
Business Uses. In addition, we may use Personal Information for other business purposes, including to:
- Analyze users' behavior when using McAfee products and services to customize preferences;
- Establish and manage McAfee accounts;
- Collect and process payments and complete transactions;
- Provide customer support, manage subscriptions, and respond to requests, questions, and comments;
- Communicate about, and administer participation in, special events, programs, surveys, contests, sweepstakes, and other offers and promotions;
- Enable posting on our blogs and other communications;
- Customize, measure, and improve our websites, products, services, and advertising;
- Analyze and develop new products, services, and websites;
- Perform accounting, auditing, billing, reconciliation, and collection activities;
- Prevent, detect, identify, investigate, respond, and protect against potential or actual claims, liabilities, prohibited behavior, and criminal activity;
- Comply with and enforce applicable legal requirements, agreements, and policies; and
- Perform other activities consistent with this Notice.
Processing as Part of the Services. We also process certain information as an integral part of our Services. If you install or use one of our products or services, software will operate in the background of your computer system or device environment to perform specific security and privacy tasks including:
- Spam protection;
- Virus protection;
- Intrusion detection, prevention, and protection;
- Threat prevention and prediction;
- Network defense;
- Data encryption;
- Mobile device lockdown; and
- Back-up and recovery activities.
Product Updating and Reporting. Our products and services may also process certain data to provide updates and reports. These update functions may check your system to see whether files relating to the services need to be refreshed or modernized. For example, products and services may transmit report files to McAfee. These files contain information, including the number of checked, suspicious, infected, or unwanted files or emails, the number of infections, the date and hash values of the detected infections, and the number of false negatives/false positives. The purpose of these reports is to analyze the frequency of particular infections or the prevalence of threats. McAfee also uses the information to adapt the product to conform to user preferences based on actual use.
Supporting Free Products and Services
We continually make a variety of free products available to our customers. In order to keep these products free, we may use information collected through some of our products, such as information about websites you visit, to support interest-based advertising by us or our partners. We do this by sharing information with trusted third parties about your browser and web browsing activity that does not identify you personally. These companies are not permitted to use the information we provide to them to identify you, and are required to use the information we provide only in accordance with our privacy commitments to you. Our products that use data in this way also include built-in features allowing you to opt out of this sharing.
When Do We Share Personal Information?
We respect the importance of privacy. Other than as provided in this privacy policy, we do not sell your Personal Information, nor do we share it with unaffiliated third parties for their own marketing use, unless we have your consent or we are required by law to do so. Generally, we may disclose the information we collect, including Personal Information, in order to facilitate our provision of the Services or communications with customers (e.g., to service providers who perform functions on our behalf), to operate our business, to advertise or promote our Services, to facilitate changes to or transfers of our business, as required by law, or with your consent.
We may share Personal Information in the following ways:
- Current and future members of the McAfee family of companies for the purposes described in this Notice, such as to: (i) provide services and content (e.g., registration, sales, and customer support); (ii) help detect and prevent illegal acts and violations of our policies; and (iii) guide our decisions about our products, services, and communications;
- Other users where integral to particular Services where you have chosen to share such information, or where you have posted user content (e.g., comments and reviews, social media posts, photos or locations to groups you create);
- Authorized service providers who perform services for us (including cloud services, data storage, sales, marketing, investigations, payment processing, customer support, and bill collection). Our contracts with our service providers include commitments that they agree to limit their use of Personal Information and to comply with privacy and security standards at least as stringent as the terms of this Privacy Notice. Remember that if you provide Personal Information directly to a third party, such as through a link on McAfee's website, the processing is typically based on their standards (which may not be the same as McAfee's);
- If we believe disclosure is necessary and appropriate to prevent physical, financial, or other harm, injury, or loss, including to protect against fraud or credit risk.
- To legal, governmental, or judicial authorities, as instructed or required by those authorities or applicable laws, or in relation to a legal activity, such as in response to a subpoena or investigating suspected illicit activity (including identifying those who use our services for illegal activities). We reserve the right to report to law enforcement agencies activities that we in good faith believe to be illegal.
- In connection with, or during negotiations of, an acquisition, merger, asset sale, or other similar business transfer that involves substantially all of our assets or functions where Personal Information is transferred or shared as part of the business assets (provided that such party agrees to use such Personal Information in a manner that is consistent with this Notice).
- In order to provide marketing and advertising content about our products, or other products which may interest you, we may share your Usage Data, as well as anonymized information with third-party ad networks, social media partners, and similar providers. A more detailed discussion of our relationship with third-party advertisers is set forth below under the heading "Third-Party Advertising".
- With others only after obtaining your consent. If we want to share Personal Information other than as permitted or described above, we will provide you with a choice to opt in to such sharing and you may choose to instruct us not to share the information.

We regularly test our website, data centers, systems, and other assets for security vulnerabilities.
McAfee handles payment card data in a manner consistent with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS). For example, when you make a payment on our website using your credit card, we use SSL encryption for transmission of the credit card number.

If you subscribe to McAfee products, you can access and correct the Personal Information in your profile by visiting My Account. Alternatively, you may request access or changes to, or removal of, your Personal Information in accordance with applicable laws by contacting us as indicated below.

Data Retention
The time periods for which we retain your Personal Information depend on the purposes for which we use it. McAfee will keep your Personal Information for as long as you are a registered subscriber or user of our products or for as long as we have another business purpose to do so and, thereafter, for no longer than is required or permitted by law, or McAfee's Records Retention Policy, reasonably necessary for internal reporting and reconciliation purposes, or to provide you with feedback or information you might request. The information we collect may be stored and processed in servers in the United States and wherever McAfee and our service providers have facilities around the globe.
Children's Privacy
Some of McAfee's Services provide security features that may be used to monitor children's activity online, physical location, or when they are using a registered device. McAfee does not knowingly collect Personal Information from children under the age of 13 without first obtaining parental consent in accordance with applicable laws like the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act of the United States and similar laws around the world. For products that may be used with children, there are options for parents or legal guardians to delete their child's profile at any time and at the parent or guardian's option. We do not knowingly use Personal Information from children for any purpose except to deliver the products that are designed to offer family-related or child-related protection Services. If you believe we have collected information from your child in error or have questions or concerns about our practices relating to children, please notify us using the Contact Us details below and we will promptly respond.
Data Transfers
McAfee is headquartered in the United States, and we have operations, entities, and service providers in the United States and throughout the world, including in India. As such, we and our service providers may transfer your personal information to, or access it in, jurisdictions that may not provide equivalent levels of data protection as your home jurisdiction. We will take steps to ensure that your personal information receives an adequate level of protection in the jurisdictions in which we process it. If you are located in the European Economic Area or Switzerland, we provide adequate protection for the transfer of Personal Information to countries outside of the EEA or Switzerland through a series of intercompany agreements based on the Standard Contractual Clauses authorized under the EU Data Protection Directive 95/46/EC.
Links to Other Websites
Our Site may contain links to other websites for your convenience and information. These websites may be operated by companies not affiliated with McAfee. Linked websites may have their own privacy policies or notices, which we strongly suggest you review if you visit those websites. We are not responsible for the content, privacy practices, or use of any websites that are not affiliated with McAfee.

Effective Dates: April 3, 2017 through May 24, 2018
McAfee, LLC and our affiliates with whom you have a business relationship ("McAfee", "we", "us") respect your privacy. This Mobile App Privacy Statement ("App Privacy Notice") describes our privacy practices regarding the collection, use, and disclosure of your personal information through our mobile apps (our "app" or "apps").
1. What We Collect.
Information you provide:
We may require that you register to use the apps. Registration may require personal information like your email address and name and information like a unique user name or password. In some cases, you may be able to sign in using your Google or Facebook account credentials which will then be used only for the purpose of account access and account management.
The functionality of the apps may require some access to personal information in order to use the apps. This may include contact information such as your name, address, phone number, email address, and unique log-in credentials. The apps may also access unique numeric identifiers assigned to your device such as your mobile advertising ID/IDFA, Bluetooth device IDs, and mobile device ID.
Other types of information may also be collected by the apps such as:
- IDs of any Bluetooth devices connected to your mobile device
- Media such as photos and videos that you store or consent to give us access to
- Device details such as OS, device ID, and device type
- List of other apps on your device and information about those applications
- Your location
- Details of your McAfee product subscriptions such as products used, registration data, product key, and the like
- Information about websites that you view and visit
- Battery levels, on/off device status
Access to some of the above information (such as your location) may be restricted by your mobile device's operating system, and your consent will be requested before we may access this information. It is your choice whether you wish to provide consent; however, if you do not provide consent, some functionality of the apps may be restricted.
You may also have the opportunity to voluntarily provide additional information from time to time that is not required by the apps but may improve your experience.
Information we collect automatically from your device and apps
In addition to the above information, the apps automatically collect other device-related information and app performance data. This includes crash logs to assess application usability and performance, length of time spent on the apps, and other aggregate or statistical information. Location data may be automatically collected, such as by GPS, for the purpose of providing certain features of the apps. This data is transmitted and stored separately from any personal information processed by the apps and contains no information that can reasonably be used to directly identify you.
2. How We Use Your Information.
In addition to providing and improving the apps and related services, we use your personal information to communicate with you, including to send you notifications and alerts and for in-app advertising and marketing (in accordance with your marketing preferences), to respond to your requests (such as for technical support or customer service), and for research and analytics. In addition to the uses described in this App Privacy Notice, we may use your personal information as otherwise permitted by applicable law.
Some apps may use information about the websites you visit and the apps installed on your device to show you more relevant ads. When we do this, we will provide you notice of these activities and the opportunity to opt out.
3. How We Share Your Information.
Third-party service providers and affiliated companies
Other than as described in this App Privacy Notice, we do not sell, rent, or share information that identifies you personally like your name, email address, phone number, or address. We may need to share the information we collect through the apps with third-party service providers in order to support the apps, their features, and their services, including customer services and technical support, and with our affiliated companies.
We may share the advertising identifier assigned to your device along with information about the websites you visit or the apps installed on your device with third-party service providers so that they can use that information to help show you ads that are more likely to be relevant to your interests. This information does not identify you personally.
Some of our providers may use your information in a format that does not directly identify you for their own business purposes (such as to improve their own services). For example, they may track the number of customer support calls required before an issue is resolved in order to improve resolution time. Our contracts do not permit our third-party service providers to use your personal information in ways that are inconsistent with this App Privacy Notice.
Third-party service provider terms
Some of our third-party service providers may have additional terms and choices that apply to your information which we are required to make available to you as follows:
Google Maps: If the app usesGoogle Maps' API, it is governed by Google's Privacy Policy. Certain Maps API(s) store and access cookies and other information on end-users' devices.
The Facebook Audience Network: We are a member of the Facebook Audience Network. This provides a way for companies to display their ads to Facebook users in apps and websites that are also part of the network. Facebook helps tailor the ads so that they are relevant and useful. You can use Facebook's ad preferences tool to view, add, and remove your preferences, including whether you receive these tailored ads, including in our apps. We encourage you to review Facebook's data policy and privacy basics. Ads in our apps may also include an Ad Choices opt-out icon so you can opt out directly from our app.
Other ways your personal information may be shared
Your personal information may also be used and shared with law enforcement, government representatives, or others if required by law, in connection with a sale purchase, merger, or reorganization, or when we believe it is necessary to protect our rights, property, or safety, to comply with a judicial proceeding, court order, or legal process—such as evidence in litigation in which we are involved. In the case of a sale or purchase we will instruct the entities to which we transfer your personal information only to use it in a manner consistent with this App Privacy Notice.
4. Your Choices.
You may request access to view, modify, update or remove the personal information that we have related to your use of the apps by contacting us using the details supplied in the "Contact Us" section below. You can unsubscribe from our marketing-related messages at any time by following the unsubscribe instructions included within each marketing-related message sent to you or by using the details in the "Contact Us" section. We will comply with requests within the time frames required by applicable law. Please note that if you choose not to receive marketing-related emails from us, we may still send you important administrative and transactional messages related to the apps and services ("service notifications").
You may have the option to limit the use of information about your device for purposes of serving ads that are targeted to your interests through your device settings (called "Limit Ad Tracking" on iOS devices and "Opt Out of Interest-Based Advertising" on Android devices).
5. Security.
We take reasonable technical, administrative, and physical measures to protect the personal information provided, but you must understand that no app or internet transmission can ever be guaranteed 100% secure. Where personal data collected is stored on your device, security is through your device's own secure storage facilities. You should also take care to protect the secrecy of your account user name and password and to protect the personal information that is stored on your device.
6. International Transfers.
We are a U.S.-based, global company. As such, we may transfer, store, and process your personal information in the United States (U.S.) or to any of our group companies worldwide when processing that information for the purposes described in this App Privacy Notice. We may also transfer your personal information to our third-party service providers, who may be located in a different country than you.
Personal information collected by us from the European Economic Area and Switzerland is protected in accordance with applicable legal requirements implemented through intra-group agreements incorporating the standard model contractual clauses recognized by the Directive 95/46/EC of the European Parliament and the Council, also known as the Data Protection Directive ("the Directive").
7. Data Retention.
We retain account information, such as your name, account credentials, and email for the lifetime of your account. However, if you are not an active user of the app (as determined by number of log-in attempts) your account and all data will be deleted after a reasonable period of time. If your data is deleted, you may have to establish a new account to begin using the app again. In some products, data may be stored locally on your device as well as remotely on our (or our service provider's) systems. Generally, if you delete the apps on your device, any data stored locally on the device will be deleted; however, data on servers elsewhere may remain. You can request that we delete your personally identifiable information on our app servers by sending a written request to us as instructed in the Contact Us section below. Your request must provide your name, any app-specific user ID, email address, and the name of any apps subject to your request. We will retain these communications for our record keeping purposes.
8. Use of Services by Minors.
We comply with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act of the United States and similar laws around the world where applicable to our products and services. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children without proper parental consent. If you believe that we may have improperly collected personal information from someone under the applicable age of consent in your country, please let us know using the methods described in the Contact Us section and we will take appropriate measures to investigate and address the issue promptly.
9. Notice to California Residents.
Section 1798.83 of the California Civil Code requires us to tell you that we do not share your personal information with third parties for their direct marketing purposes.
10. Updates to this App Privacy Notice.
From time to time we may update this App Privacy Notice and/or our Privacy Notice for legal, regulatory, or business reasons. We will post any such updates to this App Privacy Notice along with the effective date of these updates within the app or on http://www.mcafee.com/enterprise/en-us/about/legal/privacy.html as applicable.
If we make any material changes to the way we collect and use your personal information, then we will also take other reasonable measures to inform you (which may include contacting you by email, if we hold your email address). Where required by law, we will seek your affirmative consent to such material changes.
Except where prohibited by law, your continued use of the apps following such changes will confirm that you have read and understand the updated App Privacy Notice.
11. Contact Us.
If you have questions or concerns about our privacy practices, you can send a letter to the postal address listed below. To help us most effectively respond to your query, please include your contact information, name of the Service or website, and a detailed description of your request or privacy concern.
