Born in Missouri, but raised in Tennessee, brother and sister Devin and Derica Wyatt grew up Sooner fans. Their dad, Darin, a Konawa, Okla. native, instilled a love for OU in their hearts from the beginning.
Senior Devin is a manager for the women's basketball team. He came to the University of Oklahoma his freshman year and has been here ever since.
"My dad's from Oklahoma," Devin said. "He grew up here and his entire family is big Oklahoma fans. Growing up around a family that loved Oklahoma sports made me want to come out here."
Devin's little sister, Derica, soon followed in his footsteps.
Derica averaged 18.5 points, 5.0 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 3.2 steals in her career at Franklin Road Academy. She was named Tennessee's Miss Basketball in 2010, 2012 and 2013 and was runner-up in 2011. She scored 23 points and brought down eight rebounds in the state championship game as a senior. She was recruited by Oklahoma State, Vanderbilt, Richmond, among others, but choose head coach Sherri Coale's Sooners.
Derica says Devin was a big part of her decision to come to Oklahoma.
"Devin and I were close during high school and when he left it was hard, but I knew if I came here, I would be with him again," the 5-foot-10 freshman guard said. "It had a lot to do with him being here."
"She knew coming out here; she had me to help her out with anything. I tried to stay neutral," Devin said of Derica's decision. "If she had any questions about it [Oklahoma], I tried to answer them, but I let her make her own decision."
Having Devin at Oklahoma and him being three years older has eased her transition from high school to college.
"He's definitely helped a lot. I'm kind of a homebody, so having him here really helps. The first few weeks of school, he told me where classes were," Derica said. "It's helped in life in general, not just in basketball."
Devin is there for Derica, whether it's for advice or just to talk.
"I'm always there for her if she has any questions, whether it be about homework or college or basketball. I just try to be that person she can come to for helpful advice."
Coale said familiarity helps adjustment in any situation.
"Having familiarity in the gym everyday is a big learning curve. It has to be comforting," she said.
Devin has managed the women's team since his freshman year, three years before Derica committed in the summer of 2012. He is at every practice and every game.
"At games it's good because I always like to have family there. My dad's never missed a game, but now that he lives 12 hours away, he can't come. Having Devin there helps," Derica said.
Practices are a different story.
"Sometimes it's good, sometimes it's bad. When I get scolded, it's embarrassing, because your brother is seeing you get in trouble, but it's cool that I get to share a big part of my life with him."
Devin said he enjoys being around her in the gym.
"In high school, I was never there for practices, so I wasn't there to see anything other than game time," he said. "It's interesting to see her in practice and see her develop as a player and continue to get better."
Coale said Devin and Derica are mature.
"Devin's been with us for several years and he's very self-sufficient. He does his job, he's very responsible. Derica's very much the same way. They're always on time, always doing what they're supposed to be doing."
"They're obviously very, very close. They both do their jobs, they're both very mature kids," Coale said.
Derica is averaging six points and one rebound in the seven games she's played for the Sooners.
"It's amazing," she said of playing at Oklahoma. "It has its ups and downs, but it's a fun experience. I'm glad I did it."
Derica said her teammates are like sisters and will help when Devin graduates in the spring.
"All of us are like sisters, we love each other like we would our own family. That's always nice."
Devin will graduate in May and once again, he and Derica will part ways.
"Awful," Derica said of Devin graduating. "It's going to be hard without him, but hopefully I can manage."

Flexner on Finishing: Making Sense of Dyes
Don't allow the packaging to cause you confusion.
By Bob Flexner
Pages: 90-93
From the November 2006 issue #158

When I opened my furniture making and restoration shop 30 years ago, there were two types of dye in wide use. I made great use of both, but for different situations. These two types are still the most widely available and useful today, but packaging has introduced some confusion, so a discussion using brand names is warranted. Before launching into comparisons, however, I need to explain what I mean by "dye," because packaging makes the understanding of this term confusing also.

Too crowded to do your 10x100s? Don't bail. Here's how to get a decent workout in when the entire town seems to be in your lane.
Get your head in the right place.
Don't get wrapped up in how you're not going to accomplish your workout's original purpose. "You have to throw your original workout away," says Debi Bernardes, founder of U Can Do It Coaching (Ucandoitcoach.com) in King George, Va. Make your new purpose to be more efficient with your stroke by the time you get out of the pool.
The bonus: Focusing on your stroke might make you faster than that timed set would have, anyway. "Efficiency through proper biomechanics has been proven to be more important than power," says Los Angeles swim coach Drew Porter, founder of Quixotic Racing (Quixoticracing.com). "So use that as a great excuse to have a nice drill workout."

Fisher Cats drop series finale at Trenton
July 21. 2013 5:33PM
The Fisher Cats played .500 on their four-game trip to New Jersey.
The Thunder pulled away from New Hampshire to win Sunday's Eastern League game, 8-2, in Trenton. Four runs in the seventh inning salted away the contest and left Marcus Walden (6-10) a hard-luck loser. Walden allowed five hits and two runs in five innings of work.
New Hampshire's Brian Van Kirk collected two hits and Tommy Manzella accounted for the team's runs with a bases-loaded double in the seventh inning.
The Fisher Cats used a four-run sixth inning to win Saturday night's game, 7-4. Adam Loewen went 3-for-4, with a double, two runs scored and two knocked in. Sean Nolin (7-2) earned the win with five innings of work. He allowed all four runs. Alan Farina pitched the ninth to notch his fifth save.

Children & Youth: Building tomorrow today
As young people mature, the decisions they make have an enormous impact on their families, their communities and our world. But growing up surrounded by poverty, war or in the aftermath of disaster increases their risks and limits their choices.
That's why giving children and youth the right support at this most critical time is essential to building tomorrow's strong, productive communities.
When disaster strikes, young children are especially vulnerable to developing emotional and social problems that can jeopardize their futures. Mercy Corps worked with experts to design our signature Comfort for Kids program that helps children process their trauma and recover through play, sports and art activities. See our expert's recommendations for how parents and caregivers can help children through times of crisis ▸
For adolescents faced with violence, early marriage and interruptions to schooling, we provide opportunities for community involvement, vocational training and life skills development. Our goal is to empower youth in the toughest places to make smart life choices and invest their energy in developing solutions to their countries' biggest challenges.
A new path to counter youth violence
Young people are not driven to conflict simply because they are unemployed. Mercy Corps CEO Neal Keny-Guyer discusses what our new research means for international efforts to address the rise of violent extremism.

{the seduction of Christmas}
an inspirational entry from a woman who got sucked in
It's just a few days before Christmas and I'm reminded of my love/hate relationship with this holiday. Over the past few weeks I've done the shopping thing [love], the baking thing [hate], the decorating thing [love], the party thing [hate] and even the church play thing [love].
I've been stressed over money and disillusioned by the idea of a perfect family get-together. But more than anything, I feel like my entire identity has been controlled by this [almost sickening] need to achieve the ultimate Christmas. If I keep this up, by Christmas Eve, I will be perfectly exhausted from chasing after something that seems so deceptively good.
My confession: I've been seduced by a manufactured idea of Christmas.
But today, I am working through this. I'm realizing that:
I can abandon this desire for the ultimate Christmas.
I can flee from the greatest temptations this season throws at me.
I can still have an amazing Christmas by setting my desires in the right direction.
The first thing I'm doing is reminding myself that Christmas is not about traditions and doing. While as a culture we have convinced ourselves that in order for Christmas to look like Christmas - we have to do certain things. But there was nothing traditional about the birth of Christ. It was a miracle. While it's great to do for others, the greatest thing I can do is point people to what was done for each of us through the birth of that child.
The second thing I'm doing is realizing the best moments of Christmas are when I choose to stop the busyness and focus on being grateful. Gratitude is one of the best ways to take our eyes off ourselves and give the credit back to Jesus. When gratefulness is flowing from my heart, it will be almost impossible to allow these seasonal stressors to compete with that.
While Christmas seasons past have fed me lies of what it means to have an incredible Christmas, I want this year to be different.
With that determination in mind, this Christmas will be so much more than exhaustion, mediocrity and empty promises from TV commercials. In this present moment, the idols that rival my heart for God's place are in check. The manufactured idea of Christmas may tempt me to want many things, but the awareness of Jesus in my heart will help me keep Christmas in its rightful place.
From the entire She Seeks Team, Merry Christmas.
That night there were shepherds staying in the fields nearby, guarding their flocks of sheep. Suddenly, an angel of the Lord appeared among them, and the radiance of the Lord's glory surrounded them. They were terrified, but the angel reassured them. "Don't be afraid!" he said. "I bring you good news that will bring great joy to all people. The Savior -- yes, the Messiah, the Lord -- has been born today in Bethlehem, the city of David! And you will recognize him by this sign: You will find a baby wrapped snugly in strips of cloth, lying in a manger." - Luke 2:8-12

The 29th Santa Barbara International Film Festival announced Tuesday that Robert Redford will receive the American Riviera Award at a tribute Feb. 7 at the Arlington Theatre.
The festival takes place Jan. 30 through Feb. 9.
Redford, 77, has starred in such classic films as 1969's "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid," 1973's "The Sting" and "The Way We Were" and won a best director Oscar for his debut feature as a filmmaker, 1980's "Ordinary People." Redford also changed the landscape of independent cinema, establishing Sundance Institute and the Sundance Film Festival.
PHOTOS: Celebrities by The Times
He's a Golden Globe nominee for "All Is Lost," playing a man stranded at sea in a damaged boat. He won the New York Film Critics Circle Award for his work and is also nominated for a Film Independent Spirit Award and Critics' Choice Movie Award.
The American Riviera Award recognizes an actor who has had a "strong influence" on American cinema. Past recipients include Quentin Tarantino, Martin Scorsese and Sandra Bullock.
"To honor Robert Redford with the American Riviera Award is an immense privilege for the SBIFF," said festival executive director Roger Durling in a statement. "This 50-year career — filled with significant achievements both on and off camera — is reason enough for celebration, but his role in 'All Is Lost' — one of the best performances of the year — proves that he's an artist that continues to evolve and inspire us."

Hate Groups? Not in Our School
When the students of Gunn High School in Palo Alto, Calif. heard that members of the Westboro Baptist Church—an extremist anti-Semite and anti-gay group known for blaming tragedies, including September 11 and the Virginia Tech shootings, on American tolerance for homosexuality—would be protesting outside their school, they did not sit quietly.
The church had announced that it would picket in front of Bay Area schools and Jewish institutions, holding its trademark signs (such as "God Hates You" and "God Hates Fags"). The students of Gunn High gathered to meet them, waving signs and singing songs in celebration of love and acceptance.
It's become common for communities to respond to the Westboro church's visits with counterprotests celebrating diversity and tolerance, which often dwarf the Westboro group and drown out their message.

Insect and spider bites can cause an allergic reaction. Stinging insects (such as honey bees, yellow jackets, hornets, wasps, and fire and harvester ants) are more likely to cause an allergic reaction than biting insects (mosquitoes, horseflies, deerflies, spiders, bedbugs, and black flies).
Most bites and stings do not require emergency medical care. However, a small number of people develop severe allergic reactions (anaphylaxis) to insect stings.
Allergic reactions to insect bites or stings occur very quickly, usually within minutes. Severe reactions, although rare, can be rapidly fatal if untreated. According to the American Academy of Asthma, Allergy, and Immunology's 2007 Allergy Statistics:
Common symptoms include:
Serious allergic reactions (anaphylaxis) occur when symptoms spread. These can include difficulty breathing, dizziness, nausea, diarrhea, fever, muscle spasms, or loss of consciousness. If any of these symptoms occur, call for emergency medical help right away.
If the person is having a severe reaction or has been stung inside the mouth or throat, call 911 immediately for emergency medical assistance.
Non-serious, local reactions usually go away in three to seven days with no treatment. For symptom relief, use an ice pack or wet compresses. (Or, 1 tsp. meat tenderizer mixed with 1 tsp. water applied to bite.)
Drug therapies include:
If the reaction is serious enough that a hospital visit is warranted, antihistamines may be given intravenously and epinephrine (adrenaline) may be administered. Sometimes serious reactions happen again soon after the first reaction stops. Your provider may want to observe you for 8 - 12 hours.
If you have had a serious reaction to an insect bite, keep an emergency insect sting kit and wear a medical alert bracelet.

LONDON (Reuters) - Britain will catapult into the superfast mobile top division on Thursday when operators O2 and Vodafone finally launch 4G services to compete with market leader EE.
The arrival of two more operators offering speeds more than five times faster than 3G - ideal for watching video on the go - marks a sharp turnaround from just a year ago when the country was stuck in the mobile slow lane with no 4G service.
EE, a British joint venture between Orange and Deutsche Telekom, started rolling out 4G in major cities from October 2012 after the regulator allowed it to re-use its existing airwaves.
The move from Ofcom was designed to kick start superfast broadband in Britain, which was falling behind other countries in mobile speeds.
EE took advantage of being first in the field by charging a premium of 10-20 percent on equivalent 3G tariffs, and by rolling out coverage before its rivals started.
It had signed up 687,000 4G customers by the end of June, which it said put it on track to have more than 1 million subscribers by the end of the year.
On Wednesday, it said Accrington, north-west England, was the 100th town to be connected, and with the nine other towns switched on in August, it was now available in 105 towns and cities, covering some 60 percent of the population.
O2 and Vodafone are not strongly competing on price with EE, but are both offering music and sports content in their 4G packages to set themselves apart.
O2 is launching in London and two other cities, while Vodafone is starting off just in the capital.
Three, the smallest operator and last to launch 4G, has said it will not charge a premium for faster broadband.
The Hutchison-owned operator said on Thursday that it would start services in London, Birmingham and Manchester in December, with coverage available in 50 cities by the end of 2014 and reaching 98 percent of the population a year later.
Ronan de Renessa, principal analyst at consultancy Analysys Mason, said he predicted that the UK would be the third largest 4G market in the Europe by the end of 2014 with nearly 8 million connections, after France and Germany.
He said the emergence of 4G operators Three, O2 and Vodafone would mark the beginning of aggressive marketing efforts.
"The UK is in a unique position because it had an early entrant in the market, so the other operators couldn't monetise early adopters," he said. "The market will now accelerate a lot faster than other 4G launches you have seen in Europe."

Not only is a stay in the hospital stressful, hospital food has a notorious reputation for being tasteless and of poor nutritional quality. That may be changing, however. A new agreement will give more than 2,000 hospitals in the country access to organically grown foods. The contract between MedAssets -- a leading purchaser for the health care industry -- and United Natural Food Incorporated -- a large wholesale distributor of natural and organic foods -- is the first between a major health care buyer and an organic food distributor. It reflects the growing understanding of the benefits of serving nutritious, fresh, organic foods in institutions such as hospitals.
The steps taken so far include purchasing milk produced without bovine growth hormone and poultry and meat produced without antibiotics; supporting local communities by hosting farmers? markets and sourcing local produce; and serving fair trade coffee, organic produce, and locally grown foods.

Lincoln: American Mastermind DVD Exclusive
(Save 15%)
This item ships to the USA and Canada.
Campaigning for 16th president of the United States, Abraham Lincoln arrived onto the national stage as "Honest Abe." But was he really a simple frontiersman or a brilliant strategist who manipulated his public image, using newspapers, photography, and even folksy imagery to win over voters? Lincoln's abilities may have begun in the backwoods, but he applied them throughout his life -- honing his powers of persuasion in courtrooms across Illinois, running for a Senate seat and dealing with national crisis as the president. With the combination of dramatic re-creations, scientific discoveries, rare photos and interviews with historians, National Geographic reveals the hidden side of Lincoln and the well-orchestrated moves that took him all the way to the White House.
Not available for shipment outside of the U.S. and Canada.

With fall right around the corner and the return back to school quickly approaching, I find myself feeling a mixture of anticipation and dread. Anticipation, because the excitement that my kids have for getting to be back with their friends and focusing on their love of learning is contagious.
Dread, however, over the fact I know that I'm going to miss their little faces every day... and that I have to pack their lunches. I'm not the only one who looks at a child's lunch box and silently curses it, right? Why is it so difficult to come up with something nutritious and filling that they will happily eat? This is why this year I am determined to not leave things to the last minute, only to find myself scrambling to throw something together every weekday morning. Instead, I've been happily browsing through the wide selection of recipes, ingredients and more at KraftRecipes.com to get a few new sandwich recipes and other ideas.
Upon stumbling on the Polka Dot Sandwich, I hardly was finished reading the ingredients to my kids before they were enthusiastically nodding their heads!
Both of my girls tend to stick with the classic peanut butter and jelly, so as soon as I saw that this sandwich combines a little sweet, a little chewy and a whole lot of flavor, I was reaching for my loaf of bread to try it out.
Polka Dot Sandwich
2 slices whole wheat bread
2 Tbsp. PHILADELPHIA Strawberry Cream Cheese Spread
9 banana slices (about ½ of a medium banana)
1 Tbsp. raisins
SPREAD both slices of bread with cream cheese spread.
TOP one bread slice with bananas in three rows of three slices each. Sprinkle remaining bread slice with raisins; press gently into cream cheese to secure. Close sandwich to serve. Enjoy!
As suspected, my girls were thrilled with this new sandwich option and have both declared it a must-have for school lunches (and beyond). In fact, we've already been discussing variations that we would like to attempt, for instance, using regular PHILADELPHIA Cream Cheese Spread and strawberries or replacing the banana with slices of nectarine. The options are endless!
This season, be sure to browse the large number of recipes available at KraftRecipes.com to find a huge selection of snack and sandwich ideas that are creative, delicious, fun and perfect for enjoying at home or in a lunch box.
For more recipes and ideas, visit my blog at www.thanksmailcarrier.com.

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Two Mexican citizens associated to the Zetas drug cartel have been sentenced to one year and one day in prison for attempting to bribe a federal judge, federal prosecutors said Tuesday.
The U.S. Attorney's Office said in a statement that drug cartel associates Francisco Agustin Colorado Cebado and Ramon Segura Flores each must also pay a $10,000 fine.
Both defendants and Francisco Antonio Colorado Cessa, the father of Francisco Agustin Colorado, pleaded guilty in March to attempting to offer a $1.2 million bribe to the judge in exchange for a reduced sentence for the elder Colorado, who's now serving 20 years for laundering nearly $25 million of drug proceeds from the Los Zetas drug cartel. The complex laundering scheme involved purchasing, breeding, racing and selling some 500 racehorses throughout the southwest.
A confidential federal source contacted Segura and got him in touch with two undercover agents from the FBI and the Austin police department who said they could deliver the bribe to the judge and asked a $25,000 fee for that.
The FBI and Austin police recorded conversations between the elder Colorado and his son at the Bastrop County jail while the defendants discussed how to bribe the judge.
Prosecutors say District Judge Sam Sparks did not participate in the scheme.
On the day of Colorado Cessa's sentencing, Sparks —who was unaware of the plan to bribe him— imposed the maximum punishment of 20 years. Hours later, federal agents arrested Colorado Cebado and Segura.
Colorado Cessa will be sentenced in October and faces up to five years in prison for the attempted bribery charge.
Both defendants sentenced Tuesday were arrested on September 5 and they will benefit from a sentence time reduction available for those serving more than one year terms. Segura's attorney, Paul Nugent, said they have served their time and are expected to be released and deported in the immediate future.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (AP) - Michael Phelps has been suspended from competition for three months by USA Swimming, the latest fallout from a photo that showed the Olympic great inhaling from a marijuana pipe.
The sport's national governing body also cut off its financial support to Phelps for the same three-month period, effective Thursday.
"This is not a situation where any anti-doping rule was violated, but we decided to send a strong message to Michael because he disappointed so many people, particularly the hundreds of thousands of USA Swimming member kids who look up to him as a role model and a hero," the federation said in a statement.
"Michael has voluntarily accepted this reprimand and has committed to earn back our trust."
Cereal and snack maker Kellogg Company says it will not renew its sponsorship contract with the Olympic champion. The Michigan based company says Phelps's behavior is "not consistent with the image of Kellogg."
Phelps won eight gold medals in Beijing.

1. Argue from the Facts: This is the most important rule. Professors spend lots of time placing key facts into the exam problem - make sure you incorporate them into your answer! Make sure there is an application of facts in any answer you write.
2. Answer the Call of the Question: If the question asks you to be a judge - answer the question as a judge would - more objectively examining both sides of the argument and coming to a decision consistent with the law that you learned in that class. If you are asked to be a lawyer, your conclusions should be in the form of advice. If the question is a policy type question, you need to (generally) factor in economics, social, practical, equitable consequences of any legal course of action.
3. Say "Because": The use of "because" will insure that you explain the rules and relevant issues. Remember, most professors assume you will know the black letter law - it's the "because" that demonstrates to them that you understand the concept and can explain why that rule or concept applies under this set of circumstances.
4. Watch Your Time: The best answer on question #1 doesn't make up for the last question that you didn't answer. Even if you got all the points for the first question (and second and third), it takes a lot to make up zero points on the last issue. Just remember that whether the allotted time is reasonable or not - you must answer each essay question. So, note the exact time that you need to begin a new question - and do it!
5. Divide up the Issues and the Cast of Characters: The best way to guarantee that you have answered the question asked on the exam is to divide up the issues and the various people involved. You need to divide and conquer in order to succeed. Don't analyze two different issues or apply the law to two people in divergent factual situations in the same paragraph. Instead, spend 1/3 or 1/4 of your time framing the issues into a quick outline before you begin writing. Use headings for each new issue and separately analyze each character's legal status. This will help maximize organization - and points!
Four Common Errors in Exam Taking
1. The Teaser: The student spots issues, but not much more. For example, they might write: "Consideration is an issue because there seems to be a bargained for exchange between the parties. Because there is a bargain here, the contract does not fail for lack of consideration." All this does is note an issue - and a possible outcome. There is no explanation of why or how the facts fit in this case. So, to avoid this problem, the life lesson is to go back to the facts and apply the law to those facts. Say "because."
2. The Dead Cow Beater: Hurray - you spotted an issue! But don't make the mistake of talking about it way past the time allotment - or the worth of the issue. But while the temptation to use every case, restatement and policy argument is great, once you nailed it, move on! Remember you only get a limited amount of points per issue, and an extensive discussion of one issue will not help you once you have completed a reasonable analysis. Students are most apt to fall into this pitfall when they want to be comprehensive. While you might pick up a few more points by overly enthusiastic analysis, you will also lose a lot more points because you won't get to the rest of the question (or exam). So, to avoid this problem - watch your time!
3. The Scramble: Organization goes a long way in getting points on your exam. Remember, professors are used to reading legal documents and court decisions that tend to deal with one issue at a time. Students, particularly nervous ones, tend to start writing without organizing what they are writing. They try and shot gun every issue they see and put all they know into the blue book. The result is a mush of analysis. In that situation, the student is left hoping that the professor will see the correct analysis in line to a given issue. If you find yourself claiming that your analysis should have been given points because "I said that here," you are probably a scrambler. So, to avoid this problem - spend 1/3 or 1/4 of your time framing the issues into a quick outline before you begin writing. Organization will help you get more points from your analysis.
4. The Glorified Outline: This error tends to occur when you have an open book exam. While it is great that you don't need to memorize every statute or restatement, there is a risk that you will become too dependent upon your outline and other notes. Do not copy your outline into the exam! Remember what the purpose of an exam is: to determine if you know the law well enough to answer specific issues found within the question. If you solely rely upon prepared discussions of the law, you will fail to consider the facts in the question. So, to avoid this problem, argue from the facts. An outline can be very helpful for the exam, but you have to remember to argue from the facts and apply the law to those facts.

A villager, 2nd right, checks with an election worker beside a ballot box at a school turned into a polling station in Wukan village in Lufeng, Guangdong province, China, on Feb. 1, 2012.
Reuters reports from WUKAN, China:
Residents of a restive village in southern China held a symbolic election on Wednesday in what is being seen as a small step towards grassroots rights.
The rebellion last year against abuse of power and the illegal sale of hundreds of hectares of farmland in coastal Wukan have become a benchmark of rural defiance against land grabs and corruption that blight villages nation-wide.

An election worker, left, looks out from inside a classroom guarded by police officers during vote counting at a school turned into a polling station in Wukan on Feb. 1, 2012.
More than 6,000 villagers streamed into a school amid brilliant sunshine, with turnout well over 80 percent.
"This far exceeded our expectations," said Yang Semao, a village elder who helped officiate. "It shows our passion for democracy." Read the full story.

Update on Bette Hagman Event
As you know, I am currently hosting a blog event for Bette Hagman. I announced this event on August 18th, but you are welcome to participate anytime until the deadline, September 3rd. How can you participate?
Over the next two weeks from August 20th to September 3rd bake something from one of Bette Hagman's cookbooks, and take a really beautiful photo of the baked good that you produce. I would like to think of each photo as a flower bouquet honoring Bette Hagman, and so include at least one beautiful flower (and possibly a flower bouquet) in the background of your photo or placed on the baked good like the photo I posted here. Post your photo on your blog along with a short (one or two line) note on the impact Bette Hagman had on your life and comment here with the link or email it to me at mehere.jpg. Please download the "Baked in Honor†tag and post it along with your post. If you feel comfortable doing so, include a wallet sized photograph of yourself in the post or email. If you don't have a blog, that's ok, just send me the photo(s) and your message. Please size your photo to be about the same size as the photo posted here.
I will be posting a round up of all the entries no later than Friday, September 7th, and posting a report about the final card/product that is created with all our entries.
For now, here's my submission, a photo of Bette Hagman's Buttermilk Garbanzo Bread with a bouquet I bought at the weekly farmer's market, taken on my balcony. The bread was delicious, as always- and I enjoyed it with margarine, tomato jam, and even in a egg sandwich with mayo and tomato jam… Sounds weird but it was just what I wanted. The bread also won high marks with my non-celiac DH… Thank you, Bette- for showing me that gluten free bread can be a delicious, special treat even for those who don't have to eat gluten free!

Canada has now won more Women's U18 titles (four) than the U.S. (three). Photo: Jana Chytilova / HHOF-IHF Images
BUDAPEST – Three minutes, three goals. It came down to a disastrous defensive collapse by Team USA to give Canada the 2014 IIHF U18 Women's World Championship gold medal. Tied 0-0 late in the second period, the U.S. gave up three goals in just as many minutes and could not mount a comeback in the third, losing the championship game 5-1. USA – Canada 1-5 (0-0, 0-3, 1-2)Click here for scores, stats and photosCanada wins its third straight and fourth overall gold medal at the women's U18 tournament, the most of any country now after previously being tied with the U.S. with three golds apiece. "It was the best game I think I've ever seen us play," said forward Sarah Potomak, who scored twice in the game for Canada. "We pressured them as much as we could, we buried our chances and then the game was ours. The first goal opened the floodgates and we just kept going."Potomak finished the tournament with nine points in five games (5G, 4A), putting her a point in front of U.S. forward Taylar Cianfarano for the tournament scoring title.
"I'm just speechless because we just won the World Championship, but I couldn't have done it without my teammates," she said. It would have been hard to top the 2013 championship final, a 2-1 overtime thriller that saw Canada tie the game with 12 seconds left in the third period, and as expected the game was a tight defensive battle right from the beginning. Despite being outshot early on Canada had the better scoring chances, forcing U.S. goalie Erin O'Neil into making a few key stops. But the American goaltender seemed up to the task of facing the Canadians, and her team's defence-first philosophy initially paid off in keeping their rivals off the scoreboard. "The USA came out really hard against us and I think it took us a bit of time to adjust to the tempo and the pace of the game," said head coach Laura Schuler. "But the girls stuck with the process from the beginning right up until the end, they believed and they worked their tails off."But with just over five minutes remaining in the second period, Team USA's Patricia Marshall was called for delay of game. Canada won a faceoff near the blue line on the power play and forced the puck in deep to the side of the USA net, where Victoria Bach got a shot off that trickled through past O'Neil and into the open crease, where Potomak sat waiting to bury the rebound. The goal swung the momentum all the way to the Canadian side, as less than a minute later Bach got her second assist on a goal by Eve-Audrey Picard, coming off an odd-man rush that caught the Americans off balance. Before Team USA could blink they were in an even deeper hole when, at 1:26 left in the period 2013's overtime hero Karly Heffernan made a great pass to Samantha Cogan, setting her off on a breakaway where she beat O'Neal between the legs to give Canada a commanding 3-0 lead. "I thought we had a really good first period and a good game plan going in," said USA head coach Jeff Kampersal. "But we kind of deviated a bit from the game plan in the second and got a little individualistic, when they scored the first goal we got rattled, then when they scored the second I was going to call a timeout but figured we'd be able to get into the intermission, but that wasn't the case and that third goal was a crusher." Canada did hand the U.S. a couple of lifelines in the third period, giving up a power play goal to Alexandra Laing with two players in the box. Canada would give up another two-man advantage with just under nine minutes to go in the frame, but goaltender Shea Tilley was up to the challenge and kept the U.S. from getting any more pucks in the net. Another goal from Picard and an empty netter from Potomak sealed the win and the gold for Canada. "I think you have a flashback of everyone that's lifted the trophy before you and you want to make them proud," said Lauren Wildfang when describing the feeling of lifting the trophy as a gold medal-winning captain for Team Canada. "That's the feeling you get of the legacy that's been left before, and now you're leaving a new one."Following the game the Directorate awards were handed out to the Czech Republic's Klara Peslarova (Top Goaltender), and the USA's Jincy Dunne (Top Defenceman), and Taylar Cianfarano (Top Forward).

Soap box derby in NE Ohio expects to turn profit
- Associated Press
- November 23, 2012 - 5:53 AM
AKRON, Ohio - Organizers of the All-American Soap Box Derby in northeast Ohio say the youth racing organization is expected to have a profit of roughly $35,000 for the year that ended in September, once paperwork is finalized.
President Joe Mazur tells the Akron Beacon Journal ( http://bit.ly/QekVNd) the organization's struggling financial picture is looking better.
Organizers have been working to rebuild the organization's popularity and its financial footing since 2010, when its economic troubles led to a fundraising campaign that helped it clear $152,000. The derby lost $111,000 the following year as donations decreased.
Mazur took over in mid-2011 and is aiming to expand the number of race cities from the existing 123 to more than 200 in five years. He's also increased focus on education and expanded memorabilia sales opportunities.

Does Regulation Kill Jobs?
Does Regulation Kill Jobs?
A new book exploring the connection between government regulation and jobs, edited by members of the Penn Law faculty, was the subject of panel discussions at the Wharton School, George Washington University, and the Harvard Kennedy School of Government this past Spring.
Does Regulation Kill Jobs?, published by the University of Pennsylvania Press in January, provides analysis of what has become a heated partisan issue in the wake of the Great Recession.
In a series of essays, the book explores the argument that burdensome regulations undermine private sector competitiveness and job growth, weighing that argument against competing claims that tough new regulations actually create jobs at the same time that they provide other benefits.
The contributors – leading legal scholars, economists, political scientists, and policy analysts – reveal the complex reality of regulation's effects on employment. Their work indicates that individual regulations can at times induce employment shifts across firms, sectors, and regions – but that regulation overall is neither a prime job killer nor a key job creator.
The challenge for policymakers, the new book suggests, is to look carefully at individual regulatory proposals to discern any job shifting they may cause and then to make regulatory decisions sensitive to anticipated employment effects. Drawing on their analyses, contributors recommend methods for obtaining better estimates of job impacts when evaluating regulatory costs and benefits. They also assess possible ways of reforming regulatory institutions and processes to take better account of employment effects in policy decision-making.
The book is edited by Cary Coglianese, the Edward B. Shils Professor of Law at Penn and Director of the Penn Program on Regulation; Adam M. Finkel, senior fellow and executive director of the Penn Program on Regulation; and Christopher Carrigan, Assistant Professor of Public Policy and Public Administration at George Washington University and a former Fellow with the Penn Program on Regulation.
Panel discussions about the book took place Feb. 18 at the Wharton School, March 13 at the Society for Benefit-Cost Analysis, April 3 at George Washington University, and April 10 at the Harvard Kennedy School.
In the video feature below, Prof. Coglianese discusses Does Regulation Kill Jobs? with the Office of Communications.
I'm Cary Coglianese. I direct the Penn Program on Regulation and I'm a member of the faculty here at the University of Pennsylvania Law School.
Our new book, released by the Penn Program on Regulation and the University of Pennsylvania Press, is entitled Does Regulation Kill Jobs?.
In 2007, President Bush signed legislation that imposed ever tightening energy efficiency standards on light bulbs. Now, that has meant that incandescent light bulbs, the traditional light bulbs that we are familiar with, can't meet some of these standards. And that means, of course, that a factory that makes incandescent light bulbs is likely to close shop. But it also means that other kinds of light bulbs, compact florescent light bulbs for example, that can meet the energy efficiency standards, there is more of a demand for them. And that means that those factories making those light bulbs will expand and hire more workers.
This is just one story, of course, and as I said, the systematic research seems to bear out that there are job losses associated with regulation - but there are also job gains and they tend to balance each other out.
But the shifts of jobs, from one business to another, from one sector to another, or from one part of a country to another still means that real people are out of work or in transition. That their families are suffering some very real effects. It also means that our political leaders are still concerned about the relationship between regulation and employment. It's for that reason that we produced this book, Does Regulation Kill Jobs?. The book tries to cut through the heated political rhetoric and bring serious empirical, analytical rigor to bear on this vital public policy question.
The book brings together work by leading economists, and legal scholars, political scientists, regulatory analysts, and practitioners, as well. And it takes up the central question, does regulation kill jobs, and brings some new empirical analysis to bear on that question. It also offers very real suggestions for regulatory agencies and legislators who want to know what we can do as a society to improve our analysis of employment effects.
And finally, it also considers some reforms to the regulatory process that would mean that employment effects are given better due when regulators are making decisions. In total, the book tries to bring more light to bear on a very heated policy debate, to help society improve its understanding of the effects of regulation on employment, but also to improve the design of regulation more generally.

Vehicles stolen and set on fireBy MARK HAYWARD
New Hampshire Union Leader
September 05. 2013 10:51PM
MANCHESTER — Four motor vehicles — including a Manchester Water Works pickup — have been stolen from east Manchester locations and set ablaze in the last two weeks, according to police.
All were stolen after owners left keys in the vehicles overnight, said police Lt. Maureen Tessier.
"It makes it easy. They can get into the vehicle without making any noise, start them, and off they go," Tessier said.
The thieves drove the vehicles to city parks or a deserted West Side area and set ablaze, destroying the vehicles.
Erin Loomis, who lives on Upland Street on the West Side, reported the vehicle fire that took place overnight Tuesday.
"It sounded like a huge explosion," said Loomis, who said she was startled about 1:30 a.m. Wednesday as she was trying to sleep. "It shook the foundation of my house." She said smaller explosions followed, as well as a lengthy horn blast.
Tessier said police have some promising leads in the case, but at this point no suspects.The thefts involve:
• A 2010 Honda Fit stolen from an Erskine Avenue residence overnight Wednesday. It was set on fire at the Stevens Pond boat ramp on Bridge Street. Witnesses said they saw a large pickup truck nearby. The pickup matched the description of a truck stolen from a Benjamin Street home that night.
• A 2011 Ford pickup belonging to Manchester Water Works was stolen from an employee's residence on Allied Street overnight Tuesday. It was discovered in a wooded area off Upland Street on the West Side.
• A 2013 Ford F-250, a rental truck stolen Aug. 21 from the Holiday Inn Express parking lot off South Willow Street. The truck was rented by construction workers staying at the hotel. It was discovered overnight Tuesday in West Side woods as investigators probed the discovery of the Water Works truck.
• A Ford Focus stolen overnight Aug. 26 from the Velcro Parking lot. It was found burning at Pine Island Park.

Riviera Quiver
Goddamn he looks good in French sunshine. GodDAMN. Ryan Gosling and Michelle Williams and the cast of Blue Valentine just came through here for the photocall. Michelle's short very blonde hair is gorgeous. Perfect. Very, very chic. And while the dress was a little too dark perhaps for this time of year, it fit her beautifully, and her little legs on top of those sick ass shoes were lovely.
But now about him...
How do I tell you about the way he walked up the stops playfully teasing his young costar? How do I describe to you the beaming smile she gave him whenever he held her hand? How do I convince him that he should look at me the way he looks at Michelle Williams? Part tenderness, part affection, part something else in my imagination. But it's the way he looks at anyone he's paying attention to. You get ALL his focus. When he speaks to you, and when he listens to you, you are the only thing that matters in his life at that moment. It was like this with the child, it's like this with Michelle, it's like this with the security lady who directed him towards the door.
I watched them walk away from us towards the other side of the palais. His gait, his pants, I can replay it all day in my mind.
Am a little wobbly now and must rush to another assignment. It's probably a good thing. Ryan, as you know, is terrible for productivity.

Man killed after falling from sunroof of car on interstate; driver missing
KIRKLAND, Wash. (KOMO) - A man is dead after falling from the sunroof of a car that was heading erratically down Interstate 405 early Monday - and now the driver of the car is missing, the Washington State Patrol reports.
The bizarre incident unfolded at about 3 a.m. when witnesses called 911 to report that a blue BMW was all over the freeway as it headed down the southbound lanes of I-405 - with a man riding in the sunroof.
The man fell from the car near the 85th Street interchange, but the car kept going. The man who fell died at the scene.
The BMW was later found abandoned at a Kirkland apartment complex - but the driver was nowhere to be found.
Police and troopers are now trying to track down the driver, who is suspected of hit-and-run.

There was a time when the appointment of a new Federal Reserve chair caused little excitement, writes Law Professor Alasdair Roberts in the article "Who Should Run the Fed? Yellen, Kohn, or The People" published on the Foreign Affairs website.
"Today, Americans argue intensely about this appointment in the same way they have always argued about nominees for chief justices of the Supreme Court, and for the same reason: because that is where the power lies," writes Roberts, who is the Jerome L. Rappaport Professor of Law and Public Policy at Suffolk University Law School.
In his article, Roberts tells of the transition from the political action that followed the Great Depression to the monetary policy now used to regulate the economy in the aftermath of the financial crisis of 2008.
"The two salient features of the economic crisis have been political gridlock and technocratic entrepreneurship," writes Roberts. After the Great Depression, "it was the political class that took the initiative, while the Federal Reserve took a secondary role. President Franklin D. Roosevelt himself set the government's tone, working with Congress to pass a battery of legislative initiatives aimed at restoring confidence."
In his article -- one of the most viewed on the Foreign Affairs homepage following its publication – Roberts argues that "the power of the Federal Reserve is greater than ever before. Congressional dysfunction and partisan warfare have made the possibility of economic recovery through fiscal measures or other legislative initiatives remote; monetary policy and the Federal Reserve have become the last hope."

MANILA (Reuters) - The Philippines has asked an international tribunal to intervene in its longstanding South China Sea territorial dispute with China and declare that Beijing's claims are invalid, the government said on Tuesday.
Manila asked the tribunal of the U.N. Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) to order a halt to China's activities that the Philippines says violates the Southeast Asian nation's sovereignty.
China's claims over islands, reefs and atolls in resource-rich waters off its south coast and to the east of mainland Southeast Asia set it directly against U.S. allies Vietnam and the Philippines, while Brunei, Taiwan and Malaysia also lay claim to parts.
"The Philippines has exhausted almost all political and diplomatic avenues for a peaceful negotiated settlement of its maritime dispute with China," Foreign Affairs Secretary Albert Del Rosario told reporters.
"To this day, a solution is still elusive. We hope that the arbitral proceedings shall bring this dispute to a durable solution," he said.
But it was not clear how the tribunal can help. While all its decisions are binding on countries concerned, it has no power to enforce them.
China, in response, restated its claims to the territory and dismissed any need for external intervention.
State news agency Xinhua quoted Ma Keqing, China's ambassador to the Philippines, as saying that China "has indisputable sovereignty" over the South China Sea islands and adjacent waters.
"The Chinese side strongly holds that the disputes on the South China Sea should be settled by parties concerned through negotiations," Ma was quoted as saying after meeting a senior Philippine diplomat.
The Philippines has previously sought the support of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) on the territorial dispute, with ASEAN agreeing to ask China to start talks on a code of conduct.
But Beijing says it wants to address the disputes via bilateral talks. Its relations with Tokyo are also under strain after the Japanese government bought disputed islands from a private Japanese owner in September, triggering violent protests and calls for boycotts of Japanese products across China.
Manila said that any joint development with China should respect Philippine laws. A unit of Philippine firm Philex Petroleum Corp is hoping to resume talks with Chinese state-owned offshore oil producer CNOOC on joint exploration of oil and gas fields in the South China Sea.

I have been hunting hard this year as it has been slow with the abnormally hot weather and the spread of EHD that has gone through the area killing a lot of our deer herd. I have only found one buck and doe dead from EHD, but have heard that some guys have found a dozen dead deer on one farm ranging from does to mature bucks. There are still plenty of deer in the area, but it will take years to build back a herd with good mature bucks in it.
Knowing that the pre-rut was in full swing, I needed to be in my Ameristep tree stand. Checking the weather for the morning, I was disappointed to see that the wind was going to be wrong for the farm and stands I wanted to hunt. I decided to take a gamble and hunt it anyway and just take every precaution to be scent-free. That evening I washed all my Banded Camo in Code Blue Laundry Detergent, dryed them with Code Blue dryer sheets then put them in a scent free bag. The next morning my alarm went off at 5 am and I jumped in the shower washed down head to toe in Code Blue earth scent body soap. Once I got to where I was going to hunt, I got dressed outside the truck and sprayed everything down with Code Blue 360 scent eliminator spray. I grab my Elite Bow and made my way to my Ameristep stand. When I crossed the creek and was about 60 yards form the stand, I used a Code Blue doe estres scent drag in hopes of luring in a mature buck and to help cover my scent. I settled into my Ameristep and waited as I had a good half hour until shooting light.
As it was getting light enought to see, I grunted and rattled first thing and as usual this year nothing happened. I was sitting there second guessing myself, wondering if it had been a bad idea coming in here with the wrong wind as I had not seen anything move. Then all of a sudden I heard a grunt come from the east of me! I stood up to look through the thick woods and I saw a nice big doe making her way straight to the stand. I grabbed my Elite, knowing from hearing the grunt and with the pre-rut being in full swing that there had to be a buck behind her. As I glassed through my Nikon binoculars, I could see a nice mature buck with a dark wide tall rack following right behind her as she led him straight to me. Elite in hand, Scotts Realese clipped and ready for the time do draw, I tried to hold back my excitment so I could concentrate on the shot. I waited until his head was behind a tree and drew back, letting him take a few more steps as I looked through my Spott Hogg Sight and kept that 20 yard pin right behind his shoulder. As he stepped into my clearing, I stopped him and released that Easton Arrow with Rage Broadhead and watched it blow straight through him. I watched him run off, but he only made it about 40 yards until he started to dance before taking a dirt nap.
My excitment was overwhelming, I couldn't believe that had just happened as that buck had come from down wind of me. Sometimes you just have to take matters into your own hands, and with Code Blue scent eliminators I could say forget the wind and just hunt. Not that it will be a guarantee every time, but nothing else had worked this year I said what the heck, I might as well give it a shot. Thanks to Code Blue, it paid off and I took a nice mature 12 point Iowa buck that scored in the mid 150's.

John DiStaso's Granite Status: NY Republican Pete King meets with Gatsas, Horn as he weighs '16 presidential runBy John DiStaso, Senior Political Reporter
September 06. 2013 1:53PM
FRIDAY, SEPT. 6: RETURN OF (THE) KING. Republican New York congressman Pete King continues to get to know New Hampshire Republicans as he weighs a run for President in 2016.
The Long Island representative was in the first-in-the-nation primary state in August for a picnic at a friend's home in Wakefield.
He returned today for a series of meetings and media interviews, saying that while hasn't made a decision about a run, "I'm looking at it seriously , considering it and want to see what kind of response I get here. So far I've been getting a very good response so far.
"I also want to get a feel for the direction the party is going in and help local candidates," he said.
King said he met this morning with Manchester Mayor Ted Gatsas and then went to Nashua and met with Republican State Committee Chair Jennifer Horn.
Tomorrow, King will keynote the Carroll County GOP Lobster Bake in Wolfeboro and attend the Seacoast Republican Women Chili Fest at the Scamman Farm in Stratham.
He said he'll be back next Sunday, Sept. 15, for the Strafford County GOP Barbecue and a NHGOP brunch, both in Dover.
And, he said, he'll be back in the state on Oct. 7 to speak at the New England Council's "Politics and Eggs" event at the New Hampshire Institute of Politics.
King said he remains concerned about the situation in Syria and "very disappointed" in President Obama.
He said many Republicans House members are opposing Obama on striking Syria "because they don't believe the President is serious enough about it."
King said he will support the Obama resolution, however, and will be on "Meet the Press" Sunday to address it.
