Ralph and Karen Weekly are head coaches at the University of
Tennessee, where they have led the Lady Vols to a staggering 514 wins
since 2002. The duo has celebrated over 1,700 combined career victories
and received numerous honors, including being named SEC Co-Coach of the
Year twice and the NFCA Region Coaching Staff of the Year in 2005, 2007,
and 2010. They have led Tennessee to four top three national finishes in
the annual Women's College World Series, to four NCAA Regional and Super
Regional Championships, and have participated in the SEC Tournament nine
times, including four championships. The two led Pacific Lutheran
University to NAIA national championship titles in 1988 and 1992 and
were named National Coaches of the Year during that time. The duo has
had 40 All-SEC or All-Freshman selections, 34 Louisville Slugger/NFCA
All Region selections, 21 Louisville Slugger/NFCA All-America
selections, and 12 CoSIDA/Capital One Academic All-American selections.
Ralph Weekly enters his 11th season at Tennessee with a
prestigious new accolade to include on his already impressive resume:
The National Fastpitch Coaches Association (NFCA) recently honored his
efforts in a distinguished three-decade career with a 2011 induction
into the NFCA Hall of Fame. During his 24-year coaching career, Ralph
has been successful at every stop, amassing 1,015 overall collegiate
victories and second most championships in both armed forces as well as
international softball. Ralph has coached teams including the U.S. Air
Force, Pacific Lutheran University, University of Tennessee at
Chattanooga, and University of Tennessee. He was the hitting coach for
the 1996 and 2000 U.S. Olympic softball teams, both of which received
gold medals. From 1993 to 2000, he coached (as head or assistant coach)
in 13 international events, winning the gold medal in each of them.
Karen Weekly has experienced success both on the field and off,
earning awards as a player and a coach. While at Pacific Lutheran
University, she was an All-American softball player, led NAIA hitters
with a .440 batting average, and was named Female Athlete of the Year.
She was a national title-winning assistant coach at PLU in 1988 and 1992
and served as a championship head coach at the University of Tennessee
at Chattanooga. A 15-year collegiate softball head coaching veteran
boasting 737 career wins, Karen Weekly is in her 11th season with her
husband, Ralph, at the helm of the Lady Volunteer softball program.
"I was blessed to see all these drills in real life and learned exactly
what it meant to play smarter, not harder. It's important to bring it
every time, whether pitching or hitting, in order to have a high-scoring
offense. Playing for the Tennessee Lady Vols helped me see that."
Monica Abbott-- 2008 Olympian, Holds NCAA Records in Wins and
Strikeouts, 2011 NPF Championship MVP
"The Weeklys have done an outstanding job of identifying the critical
components of the offense game. Slingshot your game to the next level
with High-Scoring Softball."

Champion, 4-Time Hall of Fame Inductee

July 13 (Reuters) - Former neighborhood watch volunteer George Zimmerman was acquitted on Saturday of second-degree murder and manslaughter charges in the killing of black unarmed teenager Trayvon Martin. The following is reaction to the verdict:
Tracy Martin, Trayvon Martin's father, said in a tweet after the verdict's announcement:
"Even though I am broken hearted my faith is unshattered I WILL ALWAYS LOVE MY BABY TRAY. God blessed Me & Sybrina with Tray and even in his death I know my baby proud of the FIGHT we along with all of you put up for him GOD BLESS."
Mark O'Mara, Zimmerman's lead defense lawyer told reporters:
"George Zimmerman was never guilty of anything except protecting himself in self-defense. This is a tragedy like any other loss of children. It's not one that George was responsible for."
Bernie de la Rionda, the chief prosecutor in the case, told reporters:
"Am I disappointed? Yes. Because I thought he was guilty. We live in a great country that has a great criminal justice system, it's not perfect, but it is the best in the world and we respect the jury's verdict."
Zimmerman defense lawyer Don West told reporters:
"I think the prosecution of George Zimmerman was disgraceful. I am gratified by the jury's verdict. As happy as I am for George Zimmerman, I'm thrilled that this jury kept this tragedy from becoming a travesty. For that we are eternally grateful. But it makes me sad too that it took this long under these circumstances to finally get justice."
Florida State Attorney Angela Corey told reporters:
"We have done our best to assure due process to all involved, and we believe we brought out the truth on behalf of Trayvon Martin."
Martin family lawyer Ben Crump told reporters:
"The whole world was looking at this case for a reason, and what people wanted to see, as we all said, was how far we had come in America in matters of equal justice. It would be intellectually dishonest if we didn't acknowledge the racial undertones of this case. ... We have to have very responsible conversations about how we get better as a country and move forward from this tragedy and learn from it."
Benjamin Jealous, President and CEO of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), said in a statement:
"We are outraged and heartbroken over today's verdict. We stand with Trayvon's family and we are called to act. We will pursue civil rights charges with the Department of Justice, we will continue to fight for the removal of Stand Your Ground laws in every state, and we will not rest until racial profiling in all its forms is outlawed."
Civil rights activist Jesse Jackson said in a tweet:
"Find a way for self construction not deconstruction in this time of despair. Avoid violence, it will lead to more tragedies."
Civil rights activist and TV host Al Sharpton said in a statement:
"The acquittal of George Zimmerman is a slap in the face to the American people but it is only the first round in the pursuit of justice."
Robert Zimmerman, George Zimmerman's brother, told CNN:
"I really can't put into words how relieved we are as a family. Having said that, I don't think this is the time for high-fiving. We have all acknowledged that Trayvon Martin lost his life. It was not an act of murder, it was not an act of manslaughter. The jury has spoken. Our judicial system has spoken."
Reverend Jamal Bryant, a pastor of a Baltimore mega-church who led a march in support of the Martin family last year, said in a tweet:
"America is guilty of not protecting our children. Let's not be guilty of not disciplining our emotions. Tonight RIOT in prayer. LOOT heaven for every ounce of grace available. BURN self hate to the ground."
Pop star Rihanna said in a tweet:
"This is the saddest news ever!!!!"
Rapper Q-Tip said in a tweet:
"Can't be surprised ... Black life has no value in this country."
Rap star will.i.am said in a tweet:
"What's wrong with the world mama!!!" (Reporting by Kevin Gray, Tom Brown, Ellen Wulfhorst and Alex Dobuzinskis; Editing by Xavier Briand)

This is the 1/8-scale replica of the 1961 Yankee Stadium, meticulously researched, hand-built, and hand-painted by artist Steve Wolf, whose stadium models are on display in the Los Angeles Sports Museum. Requiring nearly 3,000 hours to complete, the 49' sq. model stadium is designed using original blueprints and period photographs so that every 1/8" of the model is equivalent to 1' of the actual Yankee Stadium. Its 10,000 individual parts are handmade or laser-cut from wood, polycarbon plastic, brass, or aluminum. Each part is painstakingly pieced together to flawlessly recreate every detail-from the stadium's majestic triple deck grandstand and Art Deco frieze (with the classic green patina) to the monuments of Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, and Miller Huggins in center field. Six working light banks, each with up to 250 LED bulbs, cast a bright white light onto the airbrushed field and 64,000 seats. The stadium walls and illuminated scoreboard are lined with period advertisements like Yoo-Hoo and Ballantine Beer & Ale. The field dimensions faithfully replicate the home run boundaries that faced Roger Maris and Mickey Mantle during their epic race to break "The Babe's" home run record in 1961, complete with the short, 295' porch in right field and the nearly unapproachable 466' centerfield wall. The stadium's exterior has Plexiglas windows, six ticket booths, and "Yankee Stadium" above the main entrance. Special conditions and guarantee limitations apply.

The past few weeks, I've felt like the blind man after Jesus' first laying-on-of-hands. I've seen what the blind man saw: a blurry, confusing facsimile of life. For the blind man, that meant seeing people who, in his words, "looked like trees."
Editor's note: The Rev. Chris Barrett, pastor of St. James United Methodist Church in Spartanburg, continues his fight with lymphoma. Three weeks ago, he received a bone marrow transplant. The following is an excerpt from a Feb. 18 blog. He was discharged from the hospital earlier this week.
Read his blog at http://marrowchristianity.blogspot.com.
"They came to Bethsaida. Some people brought a blind man to Jesus and begged him to touch him. He took the blind man by the hand and led him out of the village; and when he had put saliva on his eyes and laid his hands on him, he asked him, 'Can you see anything?' And the man looked up and said, 'I can see people, but they look like trees, walking.' Then Jesus laid his hands on his eyes again; and he looked intently and his sight was restored, and he saw everything clearly." — Mark 8:22-26
The past few weeks, I've felt like the blind man after Jesus' first laying-on-of-hands. I've seen what the blind man saw: a blurry, confusing facsimile of life. For the blind man, that meant seeing people who, in his words, "looked like trees."
For me, the first stage of holy healing has been equally blurry. In the nearly three weeks since my bone marrow transplant, I, like the blind man before me, have been led away from the crowds, including the friends and family who have hoped most fervently for my healing. Like the blind man, I have strained and squinted and stared, trying to see the world as the son of God intends for me to see it.
In this blurry time, I've blinked through tears to see masked people wearing plastic blue aprons, taking their turns at helping me along the hard road of healing. I have fuzzy memories of doctors prodding my chest and belly, listening to my lungs and my bowel sounds, flooding me with questions about how I'm feeling and what my bowel movements are like and what number (1-10) I would assign to the pain. I have foggy recollections of nurses giving way to new nurses, shift after shift, hooking up more IV bags than I can count.
I remember with blessed indistinctness the moments the pneumonia had me groaning and writhing in the bed, begging for someone to take away the pain. The pain was a 9-plus for a few hours, finally giving way to the pain meds that the doctors kept having to bump up and up and up some more. ...
When there hasn't been high drama, there has been an incessant sameness to the days. Vitals. Rounds. Blood tests. Reruns on TV. All of the routine has only increased the blur factor. But all the while, I am convinced that like the blind man before me, a faithful companion has not only waited with me for clarity to come, but worked actively to help bring it about.
In the last few days, my temperatures have begun to settle and the fog has begun to lift. I remember with startling clarity the moment in the predawn dark when the nurse entered my room to announce that my neutrophils (immune cells) had reached the magic number of 500 — engraftment had almost certainly begun! In the days since, that number has climbed beyond 1,000, and my discharge from the hospital is now imminent.
And like the blind man before me, I feel the hands of a healer, hands that have refused to release me in the semi-darkness of confusion. Instead, the Healer has held me until clarity has come. And as I depart this place, like the blind man before me, I know that the healing I have received may only be for a time — but what a glorious time!

New For 2014
Honda gave the 2014 Honda Odyssey a significant refresh; it went on sale this summer. The exterior design is upgraded, the cabin gets new features, and a new model, called the Touring Elite, transforms the minivan into a premium people hauler. The front end has been revised to perform better in safety tests. The hood and front fenders are also aluminum, off-setting the weight increase.
Vehicle Summary
The Odyssey minivan is a stalwart in the Honda lineup. It has capability and function, and it is popular with families looking for a good value. The Odyssey takes on the Chrysler Town & Country, the Dodge Grand Caravan, and the Toyota Sienna, all tried-and-true minivans that find themselves with a shrinking, though still loyal, customer base. While crossovers and SUVs have encroached on the minivan's customer base, Honda has doubled down on the Odyssey, in the belief that a lucrative minivan market still exists.
Honda has never made any bones about what the Odyssey is: a true-blue minivan aimed at families who need to haul hockey equipment, soccer bags, Labrador retrievers, and at least a couple of kids. Crossover? Get real. Honda has those, and the 2014 Honda Odyssey ain't one of them. It does what minivans have always done, move people and their things. There is seating for eight (only the Sienna also offers that), and even the third row could be described as generous, unlike most SUVs. The seats themselves can be folded flat with relative ease for mattress-hauling, thanks to Honda's so-called Magic Seat.
Honda has continually refined the Odyssey, and as a result it hasn't grown stagnant. In fact, we named it an All-Star in 2012 — the only minivan to make the list. Honda gave the 2014 Honda Odyssey some updates for 2014, including a new grille and LED taillights for the exterior. There is also a new center stack and upgraded connectivity features.
Power for the 2014 Honda Odyssey comes from a V-6 engine making 248 hp and 250 lb-ft of torque paired with a six-speed automatic transmission. It's the only powertrain offered, but it's fuel efficient and well liked by consumers, netting 19 mpg in city driving and 28 mpg on the highway.
You'll like:
- Safety
- Fuel efficiency
- Lots of options
You won't like:
- Expensive
- Only one powertrain choice
- Minivans aren't cool
Key Competitors
- Chrysler Town & Country
- Dodge Grand Caravan
- Toyota Sienna

PARIS (AP) — The Cannes Film Festival has an American flavor this year, with a Hollywood icon heading the jury and a quintessential U.S. literary figure opening the event: The Great Gatsby.
Organizers said Tuesday the film "The Great Gatsby," with Leonardo DiCaprio in the title role and directed by Australian Baz Luhrmann, will open this year's Cannes festival — in 3-D, no less.
Luhrmann stressed the film's French connection, saying in a statement that author F. Scott Fitzgerald wrote "some of the most poignant and beautiful passages" of "The Great Gatsby" at a French Riviera villa not far from Cannes. Tobey Maguire and Carey Mulligan also star in Luhrmann's version of the 1925 novel.
Steven Spielberg is heading the jury at the Cannes festival this year, which runs May 15-26.

TORONTO – Todd Dunivant will take on his old Stanford teammates on Saturday in Toronto FC head coach Ryan Nelsen.
The pair were teammates with the Cardinal before Nelsen opted to pursue his professional career. I spoke to Dunivant about Nelsen in this preview.
As for how he believes Nelsen's TFC side will play, Dunivant said the following:
DUNIVANT: "I don't think they'll sit back especially at home. They're going to try and come out at us and put pressure on us right away."
Meanwhile Galaxy head coach Bruce Arena offered these thoughts on Nelsen.
ARENA: "I think that in time, he's going to be a real good coach if he's not one already. He's a bright guy and very passionate about the game and has all the tools to be a good coach and manager."

TUSCALOOSA | Thad Garner celebrated his 65th birthday with a cruise on the Bama Belle.
He said he plans to celebrate his 75th birthday on April 14 on the paddle-wheel riverboat, too, but this time, he intends to do it as the boat's owner.
TUSCALOOSA | Thad Garner celebrated his 65th birthday with a cruise on the Bama Belle.
He said he plans to celebrate his 75th birthday on April 14 on the paddle-wheel riverboat, too, but this time, he intends to do it as the boat's owner.
Garner, a retired Tuscaloosa businessman, and Jeff Spencer of Demopolis bought the out-of-commission riverboat Tuesday.
Garner said the two plan to sail the Bama Belle to Mobile for needed repairs and bring it back to Tuscaloosa to continue the tradition of more than a decade of offering Black Warrior River cruises to the public.
"We are going to repair it and then bring it back to Tuscaloosa," he said. "We want to have river cruises in spring, summer and during football season."
And Garner said he wants to expand the Bama Belle's offerings with regularly scheduled cruises after the boat is restored to its former glory.
"We want to refurbish this boat and make it like it never was before," Spencer said. "It is a wonderful boat. I would say it is in top shape and just needs a new trim, a good paint job and a good pressure washing and cleaning."
The Bama Belle has been part of Tuscaloosa's river scene since 2001, but it stopped offering cruises last June after holes developed in the chill coolers on the bottom of the boat, causing an engine to fail. The chill coolers, which are underwater, act like a radiator and keep the boat's engines from overheating.
Garner said he plans to install an air-cooled radiator system while the boat is docked in Tuscaloosa. That will allow the boat to get to Mobile on its own power.
Without such a system, the boat would have to be towed — an expensive proposition.
In Mobile, the Bama Belle will be lifted from the water and put into a dry dock and the extent of repairs will become known.
Garner said he hopes the chill coolers can be repaired, and the boat then would have two radiator systems to service the engines.
"We hope to get it back fairly soon," he said. "It has a new bottom that was put on two years ago, so we know the bottom is in good shape."
Garner wouldn't say how much he and his partner are investing in the riverboat. He said the last time it was sold it went for more than $200,000.
Because of its condition, it sold for less this time, he said, but the total investment won't be known until all the repairs are made and the boat is refurbished.
Garner said he has been interested in paddle-wheelers for years and helped Spencer move the "Demopolis," a paddle-wheel boat, to Fosters for a friend several years ago.
That boat later sank in the Black Warrior River, and the Army Corps of Engineers had it pushed onto the riverbank to remove it from the water.
"It is pretty much abandoned now," Garner said.
Garner and Spencer came upon the Bama Belle by accident when Spencer and his 10-year-old son visited Tuscaloosa.
The son urged his dad and Garner to buy the boat, so the two longtime friends began looking into a possible purchase, Spencer said.
About three weeks ago, negotiations to buy the Bama Belle started.
"We definitely want to keep the Bama Belle in Tuscaloosa," Garner said. "We hope to offer the best river cruises around."
Among some of the ideas being discussed are scheduled moonlight cruises, karaoke cruises and even Sunday afternoon family ice cream social cruises.
Garner said the boat also would be available for private parties, including wedding receptions and graduations.
The boat would be in operation six days a week with Mondays set aside for maintenance, he said.
The 90-foot, 54-ton Bama Belle was built in 1969 in the Mississippi River town of Dubuque, Iowa.
It is certified by the U.S. Coast Guard to carry up to 150 passengers plus crew.
Once the repairs are made, it will receive another Coast Guard inspection before it can go back into service, Spencer said.
The boat originally was christened the Captain Ann. It later was renamed the Emerald Queen and was based in Destin, Fla.
In 2001, Mike and Nikki Medeiros bought the boat, renamed it the Bama Belle and brought it to Tuscaloosa.
Mike Medeiros died in 2005, and his family sold the boat a few years later.
Garner said some of the people who formerly helped run the boat are interested in the riverboat's revival.
Nikki Medeiros may help in marketing the Bama Belle, Garner said, and Bobby Wyatt, who was the last captain, also is interested in helping.

STOCKTON - Three people were wounded, one critically, in a midday shooting Thursday in central Stockton, authorities said.
STOCKTON - Three people were wounded, one critically, in a midday shooting Thursday in central Stockton, authorities said.
Police and paramedics responded to the scene after gunfire erupted outside a home in the 1200 block of Oak Street about 2:40 p.m. When they arrived, they located three gunshot victims.
According to witnesses, a 22-year-old woman was shot in the back, a man was shot in the left arm, and another man sustained a grazing wound to his side. Two of the victims were taken to hospitals for treatment, said Officer Joseph Silva, a spokesman for the Stockton Police Department. The female victim was listed in critical condition, Silva said.
The man who was grazed by gunfire said he and the other victims were walking west to a house on Oak Street when they were confronted by a man in a white vehicle.
"He was like, 'What's up?' and we just kept walking," the man said. "Then he came back around the corner and said 'What's up now?' and he just started shooting."
A woman who was walking with the victims said the gunman got out of the four-door vehicle and opened fire on them as they stood on the front porch of a home on Oak Street.
She said the shooter was a black man in his 20s with a thin build, a white shirt, khaki shorts, a red hat and possibly a shaved head.
"He said, 'What's up? What's up?' and then he started shooting," the woman said.
Christine Boaz, who was driving east on Oak Street toward Airport Way when the shooting occurred, described what she saw in her rearview mirror.
"I saw somebody get out of the car with a gun, and he was just standing in the middle of the street shooting," she said. "It was very frightening."
One of the bullets went through a window and a wall before traveling through a bedroom where a baby was sitting in a car seat on top of a bed, witnesses said.
The gunman then got back into the car, which was occupied by a female passenger, and fled south on Airport Way from Oak Street, witnesses said.
Boaz said she went back to check on the victims before emergency responders arrived.
"I saw a lady down on the ground," Boaz said. "I asked her if she was OK, and she just shook her head."

fundamental ∞-groupoid in a locally ∞-connected (∞,1)-topos / of a locally ∞-connected (∞,1)-topos

∞-Lie theory (higher geometry)
Where an ordinary manifold is a space locally modeled on Cartesian spaces, an orbifold is, more generally, a space that is locally modeled on smooth action groupoids (="stack quotients") of a finite group acting on a Cartesian space.
This turns out to be equivalent (Moerdijk, Moerdijk-Pronk) to saying that an orbifold is a proper étale Lie groupoid. (Morita equivalent Lie groupoids correspond to the same orbifolds.)
The word orbifold was invented in (Thurston 1992), while the original name was -manifold (Satake), and was taken in a more restrictive sense, assuming that the actions of finite groups on the charts are always effective. Nowadays we call such orbifolds effective and those which are global quotients by a finite group global quotient orbifolds.
There is also a notion of finite stabilizers in algebraic geometry. A singular variety is called an (algebraic) orbifold if it has only so-called orbifold singularities.
An orbifold is a stack presented by an orbifold groupoid.
One can consider a bicategory of proper étale Lie groupoids and the orbifolds will be the objects of certain bicategorical localization of this bicategory (a result of Moerdijk and Pronk).
Equivalently, every orbifold is globally a quotient of a smooth manifold by an action of finite-dimensional Lie group with finite stabilizers in each point. (eg (Adem-Leida-Ruan 2007), Corollary 1.24)
In (ALR 07, theorem 1.23) is asserted that every effective orbifold (paracompact, Hausdorff) is isomorphic to a global quotient orbifold, specifically to a global quotient of (where is the dimension of ) acting on the frame bundle of (which is a manifold).
It has been noticed that the topological invariants of the underlying topological space of an orbifold as a topological space with an orbifold structure are not appropriate, but have to be corrected leading to orbifold Euler characteristics, orbifold cohomology etc. One of the constructions which is useful in this respect is the inertia orbifold (the inertia stack of the original orbifold) which gives rise to "twisted sectors" in Hilbert space of a quantum field theory on the orbifold, and also to twisted sectors in the appropriate cohomology spaces. A further generalization gives multitwisted sectors.
Some basic building blocks of orbifolds:
The quotient of a ball by a discrete subgroup of the special orthogonal group of rotations. Is an orbifold, and orbifolds may be obtained by cutting out balls from ordinary smooth manifolds and gluing in these orbifold quotients.
The moduli stack of elliptic curves over the complex numbers is an orbifold, being the homotopy quotient of the upper half plane by the special linear group acting by Möbius transformations.
For any orbifold, then the mapping space is again an orbifold, called the inertia orbifold.
Orbifolds are in differential geometry what Deligne-Mumford stacks are in algebraic geometry. See also at geometric invariant theory and GIT-stable point.
If the finiteness condition is dropped one also speaks of orbispaces and generally of stacks.
Orbifolds may be regarded as a kind of stratified spaces.

A Home Bread Proofer: The Brød & Taylor Folding Proofer Product Review
Get deep enough into bread baking and you'll eventually run into one of the biggest home baking X-factors: temperature control. Pro bakers have special proofing cupboards to keep the environmental temperature steady while doughs and starters do their thing. We home bakers make do with warm ovens, radiators, and all other manner of improvised set-ups. This new small-sized, folding proofer from Brød & Taylor helps bridge the gap.
I admit that I was skeptical about this proofer. I am an avid baker and take great pride in turning out authentic artisan breads. That said, a warm oven has always worked just fine for me when it comes to proofing my loaves. Sure, I might sigh wistfully when I see the proofing cabinets at professional bread bakeries, but I never really felt like I needed one.
Well, chalk this up to a tool that I didn't know I wanted until I had it. We keep our house fairly cool during the fall and winter, and I've found myself whipping out this proofer at least twice a week. It's much easier and more reliable than warming the oven, plus my oven is then free for me to do other cooking (a boon in these busy pre-holiday weeks).
In its folded storage stage, the proofer is about the size of a slim briefcase. I keep it tucked between my prep table and the counter. To use it, the lid snaps up and off, then the sides unfold and tuck into molded grooves. Set the wire tray in the bottom, put the lid back on, and the machine is ready to start pre-heating. It is large enough to hold several loaf pans, my biggest mixing bowl, or two proofing baskets.
The entire bottom of the proofer is a metal heating surface. The wire tray lifts the bowl or pans away from direct contact with the heat source and allows for even air flow on all sides. The bottom is insulated so it is safe to leave it on a counter or table for extended periods; I checked several times and neither the bottom of the proofer nor the surface of the table were be anything more than warm.
The proofer works by cycling the heat on and off. The temperature does fluctuate a bit since it's not a perfectly sealed environment, though I never found it to be off by more than a degree or two. The actual energy usage depends on the temperature off your kitchen and the desired temperature of the proofer (the greater the difference, the greater the energy usage), but in general, the proofer uses about one cent of electricity an hour. The proofer's temperature range is 70°F-120°F.
Here's the kicker that made me really fall in love with this tool. You can use it for more than just bread proofing. I've used it to incubate the yeast for my homebrews and to make yogurt overnight. When I told a pastry chef friend about the proofer, she got extremely excited about being able to temper chocolate and quickly soften big bricks of butter.
There's one catch. While the proofer is extremely effective at warming and holding that temperature, it doesn't cool. That means the proofer is great during the winter if my house is at 68° and I want to proof the bread at 80°. But conversely, if my house is 90° during the summer and I want to proof the bread at 72°, it can't create a cooler environment. A rep from the company explained that outfitting a tool like this with cooling ability is much trickier and more expensive than giving it a heating element. However, the company is hoping to address the possibility in future models.
While I wouldn't consider this proofer a "necessary" baking tool by any means, it certainly is a fun one to have. It's one step closer to being able to make professional-quality breads at home.

It's officially hunting season throughout much of the U.S. Whether you let your cats out by the woods, go hiking with your dogs, or live near a hunting area, it is important to know how to protect your pets.
Brian Collins, head of the community service practice at Cornell University's Hospital for Animals, offers some useful tips for dog and cat owners who head outdoors this time of year.
He advises:
Outfit your dogs with bright clothing. Many sporting goods stores have orange reflective vests for dogs. In a pinch, tie brightly colored fabric such as bandanas around your dog's neck.
Do not let dogs off-leash in areas where hunting or trapping occurs. Shooting mistakes can happen, and some states allow body-gripping traps.
Do not let dogs chase deer regardless of the season. If your dog has this inclination, leashing at all times or reliable voice control is necessary.
Wear a vest or bright clothing yourself. Avoid earth tones. It is best for both of you to be very visible.
Make sounds when in the woods. Whistle or sing as you walk. If you hear shots, shout to make sure hunters know you're there.
Consider avoiding hunting areas altogether. Take this opportunity to check out urban parks or take walks through the village and sharpen your dog's heeling skills.
Do not let your dogs off-leash if your property borders hunting areas unless they are under close supervision.
Do not let pets eat carcasses. Dogs allowed to roam in hunting areas often find remains of deer carcasses and can become ill from ingesting them.
Consider pets' fears. Some pets become very anxious from the sound of guns. It's best to keep such pets away from areas where they'll hear gunshots. If this occurs near your home, your veterinarian may prescribe medication to help keep your friend calm.

Five from ECU nursing receive state awards
Clockwise from top left are Dr. Gene Tranbarger, Dr. Annette Greer, Bobby Lowery, Michelle Skipper and Dr. Elaine Scott.
GREENVILLE, N.C. (Oct. 13, 2011) — Current and retired faculty members and alumni from the East Carolina University College of Nursing were honored Oct. 12 by the North Carolina Nurses Association.
The NCNA is the professional organization for all registered nurses in North Carolina. The awards were made during the association's 104th annual convention in Durham.
Dr. Russell "Gene" Tranbarger, professor emeritus, was selected for induction into the NCNA Hall of Fame.
He began his career as an operating room nurse, served eight years in the U.S. Army, which included teaching nursing during the Vietnam War, worked as a nursing administrator at three hospitals in North Carolina and later taught at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro and ECU. He retired in 2003.
"He understands nursing, health care and the essential elements of both," his citation read. "Excellence has been a hallmark of his many contributions to nursing and continues to be a cornerstone of his professional work."
Bobby Lowery, clinical assistant professor and director of the adult and family nurse practitioner graduate concentrations at ECU, was named Nurse Educator of the Year.
Lowery "is accomplished in many areas of nursing – education, practice and policy – and woven throughout his numerous outstanding contributions is his ability to lead and inspire others," his citation read.
"This core competency is Bobby's strongest and enduring trait." Lowery's research interests include advanced practice registered nurse regulation, health care access, health policy and primary care. Lowery also maintains a primary care practice in rural Wayne County.
Michelle Skipper, clinical assistant professor in the adult and family nurse practitioner concentrations, was honored with the Mentorship in Nursing Award.
She has served in leadership roles with the NCNA and other nursing organizations.
She has mentored hundreds of students as well as novice and seasoned nurse practitioners.
A Great 100 Nursing recipient, she was nominated for the Max Ray Joyner Award at ECU in 2008 for faculty excellence in online teaching.
Dr. Elaine Scott, associate professor and director of the East Carolina Center for Nursing Leadership, received a Certificate of Commendation Award. Scott also served five years as director of the master's in nursing leadership concentration.
Before entering academia, Scott worked 20 years in a variety of clinical and administrative roles in nursing. She recently completed a three-year Partners in Nursing grant from the Robert Wood Johnson and North West Health foundations in which she partnered with clinical nurse leaders in small eastern North Carolina towns to identify and address workplace priorities. She emerged as a key leader in the Future of Nursing Summit held recently that brought together broad stakeholders with interest in the state's nursing workforce.
Dr. Annette G. Greer, assistant professor of bioethics and interdisciplinary studies and co-director of the Office of Interdisciplinary Health Sciences Education in the Brody School of Medicine, received a Certificate of Commendation Award.
An ECU nursing alumna, Greer teaches interdisciplinary rural health, public health and adult education and collaborates with faculty from the College of Human Ecology to teach an honors seminar that combines art and health. Greer is a leader in promoting interdisciplinary models of health care in rural communities.

Treasury 10-year notes advanced, while commodities retreated and U.S. stocks fluctuated, after President Barack Obama held his ground about raising tax rates for the highest-income Americans. The dollar weakened.
Yields on 10-year notes slipped one basis point to 1.61 percent at 3:28 p.m. in New York while the S&P GSCI gauge of commodities slid 0.9 percent as cocoa and silver led declines. The Standard & Poor's 500 Index fluctuated near 1,409. The Dollar Index slipped 0.3 percent for a fifth straight decline, its longest slump in more than a year. The Stoxx Europe 600 Index of stocks closed less than 0.1 percent higher after rallying 0.4 percent earlier.
Obama said in a Bloomberg Television interview that a Republican offer on resolving the so-called fiscal cliff doesn't go far enough and won't raise the revenue needed to shrink the deficit by $4 trillion over the next decade. The administration's rejection of a Republican plan that omits higher tax rates for top-earning Americans leaves the issue unresolved with about four weeks left before more than $600 billion in tax increases and spending cuts start taking effect.
"The clock is ticking," said Quincy Krosby, market strategist for Newark, New Jersey-based Prudential Financial Inc., which oversees more than $1 trillion. "The focus is on what goes on in Washington. The market will be volatile. You've got to be very well hedged given that the market is so much headline-driven."
Market Leaders
Treasury yields approached the lows for the day after Obama's interview and bond purchases by the Federal Reserve. The Fed bought $1.87 billion of Treasuries are part of its program to keep borrowing rates low to spur economic growth.
Economists have cut their forecasts for the yield at the end of this year to the lowest since Bloomberg began surveying for the projection, on concern U.S. politicians will struggle to avert the fiscal cliff. The 10-year rate will probably be 1.64 percent by Dec. 31, less than the 1.75 percent rate that economists saw at the start of November, according to Bloomberg surveys of the predictions.
Health-care, industrial and commodity companies led gains among the 10 main industry groups in the S&P 500, while telephone, utility and financial shares retreated. Las Vegas Sands Corp. and Wynn Resorts Ltd. fell more than 3 percent on bets China may increase scrutiny of junket operators in Macau, who provide credit to high-stake gamblers.

WEST POINT, N.Y. – Sidney Crosby leaned down to unlace his skates in the locker room after a spirited practice at Army's Tate Rink, then glanced around and smiled at all the familiar faces.
Home away from home for the Pittsburgh Penguins' superstar.
"It's nice to have everyone here," Crosby said.
Their exhibition slate over and the new NHL season looming, the Penguins travelled to West Point for three days of training and team building over the weekend. It was their third trip here since 2007, and general manager Ray Shero was hopeful the experience would help a team that flopped badly against the Boston Bruins in the Stanley Cup playoffs—just when it seemed destined to challenge for its fourth championship.
"We're getting together with our group in a different place, but it's not just a different place," Crosby said. "It's pretty special. We're all together in this. We're trying to benefit from all this."
The team arrived Friday morning, met with members of the football team before the Black Knights flew to Dallas for a game, had lunch with the cadets, and listened to a brief talk from Army hockey coach Brian Riley before hitting the ice for the first time.
Not much seems to have changed.
After their stunning exit in four games in the Eastern Conference finals, the Penguins appear set to give it another go at the Stanley Cup. While other teams make themselves over year after year, Pittsburgh has maintained the status quo on its roster. The Penguins signed high-scoring Evgeni Malkin, defenceman Kris Letang, winger Pascal Dupuis, and coach Dan Bylsma to contract extensions, essentially keeping the core of the team intact. Also back is goalie Marc-Andre Fleury, who's in the last two years of his contract and was a weak link in the playoffs.
"We'll see how it's going to work," Shero said. "I think these guys are at the right age. That core group is about 26 years old. They should be going into their prime. It's not like we made long-term commitments to players that are 33, 34, 35 years old. These guys are special players, top players, and you try to keep them.
"We've been a good hockey team over the last seven years, and we want to try to win a Stanley Cup again like everybody else," said Shero, who also signed a familiar face from the past, defenceman Rob Scuderi.
The players appreciate what management has done.
"I think it helps," said Crosby, healthy again after being plagued by injuries that included a concussion suffered at the 2011 Winter Classic. "There's no guarantees. It doesn't mean that the season's not a process. Being familiar, having that trust in one another, knowing your role and what's expected, that goes a long way. I'm glad that we're able to have that."
"That's huge," Dupuis said. "You want to go to battle with guys that you trust. I wanted to come back. I didn't know how much they wanted me back. Seeing all these pieces of the puzzle falling back together, now it's a matter of us playing together and making it happen.
"You don't want to repeat history. You don't want to be a team that does it again and again. At the same time, you can learn from this stuff."
That these star players faltered at the most inopportune of times is certainly not unprecedented in the Stanley Cup playoffs. Just ask Bobby Orr, Phil Esposito and their teammates on the 1971 Boston Bruins. The highest-scoring team in league history to that point was beaten in seven games by the aging Montreal Canadiens, who used a stunning performance by goalie Ken Dryden, a rookie with six NHL games under his belt, to spur an upset nobody in his right mind would have predicted.
The Penguins played the Bruins three times in the lockout-shortened 2012-13 season and won all three by one goal. After beating the New York Islanders and Ottawa Senators in the playoffs, Pittsburgh collapsed. The highest-scoring team in the league went bust as Crosby and Malkin didn't score a single point and Boston outscored Pittsburgh 12-2 in the sweep.
Bruins goalie Tuukka Rask provided the Dryden factor, stopping 134 of 136 shots by a team that averaged 4.27 goals in its first two playoff series, and Boston's defence took away the swaths of open ice that had allowed Crosby and Malkin to operate.
It all happened in early June, yet still seems like only yesterday.
"I don't think we were the only team expected to win," Crosby said. "I think it hurts even more because we were that close. That's the sport. Nothing's given to you. You have to be at your best at the right time and get some bounces, and we weren't there.
"You try to learn from everything," Crosby said. "We'll definitely take some lessons. We did a good job the first two rounds, but the playoffs isn't only two rounds. You've got to find a way to raise your level each series. Every time you get to the next round, it's going to get tougher and tougher."
Bylsma, who guided the Penguins to the 2009 Stanley Cup, still has no explanation for what went wrong for the second straight year—the Penguins also were ousted the previous year by the Philadelphia Flyers in a fight-filled first-round series. He's glad to be back for another try, glad to have much of the same crew on the bench.
"There may be a desire or a gut reaction or an outside need to say you need to blow it up and change this, change that," Bylsma said. "I don't think that breaking up this group of players—they're quality people—is something anyone would want to do. It's a team that's won more games than almost every other team in the National Hockey League and more playoff games than any other team the last seven or eight years. There's disappointment by not winning and going to the finals and winning the Stanley Cup, but the group I think is happy to be together to try to do it again."
Added Scuderi: "Me personally, I'd rather stick with guys that I know have been there and want to go there again, not blow something up for an unknown equation."

The Blackhawks' weakness entering these playoffs supposedly resided in between the pipes. However, with the exception of one bad goal in an opening-game loss, Chicago's Antti Niemi did nary a thing to damage his team's chances in a six-game triumph over Nashville in the first round.
I see no reason why Niemi's hot streak shouldn't continue in the second round against Vancouver.
Assuming Niemi can play Canucks goaltender Roberto Luongo to a stalemate — and Luongo didn't always play up to his super-human status in the first-round victory of Los Angeles — then the Blackhawks should have the edge based on their better secondary scorers and depth on defense.
The Canucks will win if … Luongo plays out of his mind and makes sure that almost none of the handful of great scoring chances, including breakaways, Chicago usually gets turn into goals. Mikael Samuelsson has to maintain his hot hand and someone of the group of Pavel Demitra, Ryan Kesler and Alexander Burrows has to step up with extra offense in support of Henrik and Daniel Sedin's line. And the Canucks have to tighten up their penalty kill, which was abused by the Kings.
The Blackhawks will win if … Niemi keeps up his solid play and the Chicago dynamic duo of Duncan Keith and Brent Seabrooke can slow down the Sedins. The Blackhawks are going to need secondary scoring from the likes of Kris Versteeg, Dave Bolland and Andrew Ladd, and Dustin Byfuglien is going to have to wreak havoc in front of Luongo. The 'Hawks' power play has to be a little better than in the first round.
My pick: Chicago in 5. The 'Hawks have just too much firepower and depth and mobility on the back end to let the Canucks hang with them too long.

Conversion disorder is a neurological/psychiatric disorder. It is one of a group of psychological disorders called somatoform disorders.
Conversion disorder can be difficult to diagnose, but it is treatable.
The direct cause of conversion disorder is usually experiencing a very stressful or traumatic event. The disorder can be considered the way someone copes, or as a psychological expression of the event. An example of this is a person who loses his voice following a situation in which he was afraid to speak.
Risk Factors
Conversion disorder is more common in women and adolescents. Other factors that may increase the risk of conversion disorder include:
- A previous history of personality or psychological disease
- Physical or sexual abuse, particularly in children
- Economic difficulties
- Low socioeconomic status
- Family members with either conversion disorder or chronic illness
- Co-existing psychiatric conditions such as depression or anxiety
- Co-existing personality disorders
It is important to understand that person affected is not consciously acting out or pretending. Symptoms of conversion disorder are real, but lack a connection to any known organic medical diagnoses. Conversion disorder may cause:
- Impaired coordination and balance
- Paralysis of an arm or leg
- Loss of sensation in a part of the body
- Loss of a sense, such as blindness or deafness
- Inability to speak
- Difficulty swallowing or a sensation of a lump in the throat
Sensory symptoms, such as;
- Loss of sense of pain
- Tingling or crawling sensations
- Seizures
To be diagnosed with conversion disorder you must have at least 1 symptom, but you may also have many. The appearance of symptoms is linked to the stressful event and typically occur suddenly.
Diagnosis of conversion disorder may be difficult. Physical causes for your symptoms will be considered first. Your doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done.
Your bodily fluids may be tested. This can be done with blood tests.
The electrical activity in your body may be tested. This can be done with:
- Electroencephalogram (EEG) to evaluate electrical activity in the brain
- Electrocardiogram (EKG) to evaluate electrical activity in the heart
Images of internal body structures may be taken with:
If no physical cause is detected, the patient may either be referred to a neurologist or a psychiatrist for a consultation.
Psychological disorders can carry a feeling of being stigmatized. It is important that you do not let this prevent you from seeking treatment.
In some cases, conversion disorder goes away on its own. Treatment consists of counseling and psychotherapy (especially cognitive behavioral therapy). It may also involve identifying and removing environmental triggers to decrease anything stimulating the conversion disorder.
If underlying anxiety or depression is also occurring, medications may be used to help treat those conditions.
It is important to be consistent with treatment to help prevent a recurrence of the disorder.
Physical and/or Occupational Therapy
Therapy may be needed to overcome disuse/paralysis of a limb and to relearn normal behaviors.
Conversion disorder can't be prevented because it occurs after a specific, traumatic event.
