Life Science: TerrAqua Column
The TerrAqua Column
The TerrAqua Column (see building instructions) is a bottle system that is composed of terrestrial and aquatic habitats. The terrestrial habitat, or terrarium, houses organisms in soil and above-ground subhabitats. The aquatic habitat, or aquarium, houses floating and submerged organisms, as well as organisms that live on top of or in aquatic sediments. The terrarium and the aquarium are connected to one another through water — the terrarium drains into the aquarium, which, in turn, provides the terrarium with water that is drawn through a wick that runs between the two.
The Life Science TerrAqua Column is designed as a companion to the videos for Session 1 ("What Is Life?") and Session 2 ("Classifying Living Things"). This system provides opportunities for learning about the characteristics of life by observing living things in their environments over time. It is also well suited for activities that involve distinguishing between organisms based on habitat, the roles they play, or the features that classify them as plants, animals, or other life forms.
Life Science suggests several activities for the TerrAqua Column that are excellent introductions to a scientific study of the living world. "Get a Life!" features the "necklace" worn in the video by Bottle Biology creator Paul Williams. In this activity, the challenge is to test whether an object is alive by creating life-sustaining conditions in small tubes that can be worn around the neck.
"Taking Inventory" emphasizes careful description of the living things that are introduced into the system, while "Pondering Change" allows you to keep track of changes in the system over time. "Is It Alive?" parallels an activity seen in Session 1 in LauraJo Kelly's second-grade classroom where items are classified as living, dead, or nonliving.
The fascinating world of microbes is made visible with "Now You See It." "What Is It?" provides a systematic approach to classifying living things into the groups that scientists use to organize the living world.
You can follow along online and track your progress with "Is It Alive?" "Now You See It," and "What Is It?"

Jessica Simpson Sophisticated Updo
Jessica Simpson's sophisticated updo with long, side-swept bangs really draws attention to beautiful high cheekbones. Steal her style:1. Flip head upside down and blow dry hair completely using a paddle brush.2. Tease hair -- and don't be shy here, the more you tease, the better this will look. Smooth top layer by gently brushing. 3. Gather hair at nape of neck and gently twist, bringing ends of hair toward the ceiling and tucking the ends into the twist. Pin with bobby pins up and down left side of twist and make sure to hide the bobby pins well.4. Sweep bangs to the left and spray entire head with maximum hold hairspray.
Jessica Simpson Medium, Curly Hairstyle
Jessica Simpson's casual and relaxed curly look can be created in medium to long hair that is straight, wavy or curly (well, that last one is pretty obvious). How to do it:1. On damp hair, create a center part. Be careful to make it purposely uneven; achieving messiness is key.2. Wrap 1-inch sections of hair around your first finger (pointing at the ceiling really works best). Pin curled sections to your head with bobby pin; repeat until whole head is done. 3. Blow dry sections until completely dry and then unpin sections when cool.4. Tousle hair gently with fingertips and spray with flexible hold hairspray.
Jessica Simpson Curly, Red Hairstyle
Jessica Simpson's flirty style is a great choice for short, naturally wavy hair. Steal her look:1. Using a quarter-sized amount of gel, distribute through hair from root to tip. Be careful not to use too much or your hair will feel crispy.2. Blow dry hair completely using a diffuser. This will encourage the natural curls to get even curlier.3. Gently tousle curls with fingertips to soften and break them up. Use a curling iron to touch up any sections of hair that didn't get perfectly curly while diffusing. You can use a curling iron on your bangs too. 4. Finish with a flexible hold hairspray.
Jessica Simpson Blonde, Curly Hairstyle
Jessica Simpson's playful center-parted curls are a no-brainer for blondes with shoulder-length hair. Steal her style:1. Part dry hair down the middle. Make the part a little sloppy on purpose. 2. Divide hair into three sections: top, middle and bottom. Secure each section with clips or (gasp!) scrunchies if you still have them (believe it or not, scrunchies are great to avoid creating a crimp in your hair during styling). 3. Using a small-barrel curling iron, curl each section, beginning with the bottom and moving up. Alternate the way you curl the hair around the curling iron: some pieces curl clockwise around the barrel; other pieces curl counter-clockwise. 4. Spray each curled section with maximum hold hairspray from about a foot away. Don't use too much hairspray -- you don't want your hair to look crunchy -- and you're ready to bounce out the door.
Angelina Jolie Wedding Updo
Angelina Jolie's loose French twist is ideal for medium to long hair.1. Roller set dry hair with big hot rollers (apply them all over your head) for about 10 minutes and let loose once they're cool. This will help hair keep its hold as well as create those loose curls coming out the top of the twist.2. Comb hair smoothly back from your forehead and to one side on the back of your head. Pin hair flat down to one side against scalp.3. Take hair from the bottom and start twisting up, counterclockwise so you are twisting over the bobby pins already in place. Twist all the way up, pinning as you go (tip: if you crisscross the pins, the twist will stay better).4. Once secure, fluff out the curls coming out of the top of the twist.5. Pull out a couple of pieces around your face and spritz your entire head with medium hold hairspray.
Angelina Jolie Sexy Updo
Angelina Jolie's messy twist is super sultry for medium length hair. 1. Apply a volumizing mousse and blow dry hair using a large barreled round brush, lifting at the roots to create volume.2. Finger brush dry hair away from forehead and to one side on the back of your head. Pin hair down to one side against scalp.3. Take hair from the bottom and start twisting up, counterclockwise so you are twisting over the bobby pins already in place. Twist mid way up, pinning as you go.4. Once mid-way up the twist, pull the ends (that are pointing towards the ceiling) down and tuck them into twist and secure. 5. Come back to the front of your hair and mess things up a bit with your fingers, making hair loose from your pinned twist and pulling out random pieces near your face - it will look like you just got your hair done but then rolled in the hay for an hour - super sexified.
Angelina Jolie Romantic Half Updo
Angelina Jolie's lightly tousled half updo is perfect for a date or the prom. 1. For straight or slightly wavy hair, start by towel drying hair and apply a lightweight texturizing product while hair is still slightly damp.2. Roughly blow dry with your head upside down (for volume) while gently finger combing.3. Once hair is fully dry, section off your scalp into two parts by parting horizontally from ear to ear. Make sure to not brush your hair and to pull it away from your face with just your hands - you want it to look slightly messy.4. Finally secure the top section with a barrette and spray with a medium hold hairspray.

You won't want to miss this one – it's free to all!
|The New MexiChords in concert in 2010
Established in 1952, the New MexiChords is one of the oldest and largest men's barbershop choruses in the Rocky Mountain District of the Barbershop Harmony Society.
Barbershop vocal harmony is a style of a cappella, or unaccompanied vocal music, characterized by four-part chords for every melody note. Each of the four parts has its own role: the lead sings the melody, the tenor harmonizes above the melody, the bass sings the lowest harmonizing notes, and the baritone completes the chord, usually below the lead.
"Barbershop music features songs with understandable lyrics and sing-along melodies," said Ronna Kalish, PAS Director.
"The May 6 concert opens with 'Hooray for Hollywood,' from the 1937 movie, 'Hollywood Hotel;'" said Kalish. "'Over the Rainbow' from 1939's 'The Wizard of Oz' closes the first act," she said.
In between, are "It Had To Be You," from "Casablanca" (1942), lyrics by Max Stein, who also wrote the score for "Gone With the Wind" in 1939; "When You Wish upon a Star," written by Leigh Harline and Ned Washington for Walt Disney's adaptation of "Pinocchio,"1940; and "Shine on Harvest Moon," a pop standard debuted in 1908 by the Ziegfeld Follies.
Composer Irving Berlin joins the New MexiChords' repertoire with "White Christmas" from both 1942's "Holiday Inn" and "White Christmas" in 1954. The version sung by Bing Crosby ranks as the best-selling single of all time, released on vinyl, long before the MP3 generation.
According to online sources, Berlin stayed up all night to write the song poolside, and told his secretary to grab her pen and write down the lyrics. "I just wrote the best song I've ever written – heck, I just wrote the best song that anybody's ever written!," he was alleged to have said.
Another Berlin song on the program is "God Bless America" from the 1943 film, "This is the Army," the evening finale.
The New MexiChords have performed with the New Mexico Symphony Orchestra and Music Theater Southwest, among others. They stage an annual show in the spring, and their Christmas concerts are well attended.
The mens' chorus also competes each fall for the right to represent the Rocky Mountain District in international competition.
The chorus rehearses at 7 p.m. every Tuesday at St. John's United Methodist Church, 2626 Arizona NE, Albuquerque, and welcome guests interested in learning more about their unique vocal style.
As an added treat, Tech Club – Club Macey will host a social in Macey Center from 5 to 7:30 p.m., featuring Shepherd's Pie. The club presents a social hour for people 21 and over. There is a $5 cover charge for non-members.
As an aside, a version of Shepherd's Pie, a humble meat-and-mashed-potato dish, dates back to the late 18th century, when the potato was introduced as a vegetable even the poor could afford.
Further, Shepherd's pie is mentioned in the song, "You Make it all Worthwhile," by The Kinks, written by Ray Davies and published by Davray Music Ltd.
You mustn't blame yourself like you do,
It's gonna' make a nervous wreck out of you,
So wipe your nose and dry your eyes,
What's the point of cracking up all because of shepherd's pie?
By Valerie Kimble/For New Mexico Tech

Burt Lancaster and Clark Gable are both excellent in it. Don't know about the tuba player. I always thought the music at the beginning of the movie was so ominous.

Electric Storage Heaters
Electricity is more expensive than gas or oil, and is a relatively carbon intensive heating fuel, but it is available in almost every home in the UK. There are a number of electric heating technologies that can be installed easily, and relatively cheaply, in a wide range of homes.
The most common is the electric storage heater, which can make use of cheaper off-peak electricity to help keep the running costs down.

ParentingAll Ages7 Comments
Every Monday through September, we'll be going through some Unwanted Behaviors. I'm very excited for this part in the series, because I often wonder what is expected of my child at his age, or how to cope with certain outbursts. And boy, the experts have some great answers to share!
These hands on experts have given their professional and personal answers to help deal with or accept those unwanted behaviors that you submitted.
The Hands On Experts:
- Mom Expert: Jill of A Mom with a Lesson Plan
- Parenting Expert: Erin of The Intentional Parent
- Teaching Expert: Deborah of Teach Preschool
- Lifestyle Expert: Sarah of Füdoo Boards
Your Unwanted Behaviors:
- Adult Differences (experts' advice is below) : What do you do when other people try and manage your child's behaviors… even though their expectations for your child (and other children) are not developmentally appropriate? Or you have a different opinion regarding what the behavior should be in the particular situation?
- Gender Awareness : What do you do when a child in your class seems to be a little too aware of private parts & boy/girl relationships?
- Acting Out :
- My 2 yr old, otherwise well behaved, has started to change. She is getting stubborn and demands things to be in a certain way in public or else she raises her voice and if she gets angry she raises her hand on me too.
- My two young boys want to fight, wrestle, kick, hit, and bite each other all the time. Do you have any suggestions for channeling this energy into a more positive direction?
- Nagging Questions : How do I limit my children from asking the same question over and over?
(Do you have a question that wasn't listed? Submit your Raising Kids is Tough questions and I'll post them throughout the month on the hands on : as we grow Facebook page!)
The experts each chose a couple questions to give their input on, some questions have answers from multiple experts, while others may only have one expert's advice.
UNWANTED BEHAVIORS : adult differences
|What do you do when other people try and manage your child's behaviors… even though their expectations for your child (and other children) are not developmentally appropriate? Or you have a different opinion regarding what the behavior should be in the particular situation? (ex. I am OK with my son getting excited and jumping around if he is happy about something. I have a friend who is always telling her child to calm down… and mine too.) I would love suggestions regarding how to talk with adults without being offensive. — asked by Kristina
This week's advice and helpful tips come from all four experts:
- Parenting Expert: Erin of The Intentional Parent
- Food Expert: Sarah of Füdoo Boards
- Mom Expert: Jill of A Mom with a Lesson Plan
- Teaching Expert: Deborah of Teach Preschool
|Parenting Expert (Erin from The Intentional Parent) :
This can be a tricky situation for most parents to deal with, and in truth how you deal with it depends on "who" is trying to "manage" your child, and what your relationship is with them. My guess is that your friend is trying to be helpful, or just stuck on "mom mode" and automatically redirecting your child without thinking. Having two very… excitable boys, I have been in this situation many times before and there are several ways to handle it. I would try to keep it light. Perhaps next time your son gets excited and starts jumping around, and your friend tells him to calm down, you could say something like, "that's okay, I don't mind it when he is jumping around like that, I like to see him excited". Be firm, but friendly, and let your friend know that you are fine with how your child is behaving, and you are on top of it. Ninety nine percent of the time, your friend will not redirect your child again. If it does continue however, you will need to take a more direct approach.– Erin, The Intentional Parent
|Teaching Expert (Deborah from Teach Preschool) :
Often times, as parents, we tend to be far more sensitive to having another adult tell our child(ren) what to do than the child does. So start by watching your child's response. If your child isn't bothered by having the other adult correct his behavior – then don't let it bother you. If your child is bothered or it is in any way making your child feel embarrassed then consider saying something to the other adult but not in front of your child.I know when my daughter was little and a stranger walked up and tried to correct her behavior it would instantly make me steaming mad but then I realized that my response had greater influence on how my daughter felt about the situation than what the other adult had to say.I learned to have secret communication with my daughter. If someone said something to correct her – she would instantly look at me and I would give her a sweet smile and tell her where others could hear, "you are such a good helper or listener – thank you for being so sweet." This gave everyone in the room the message I felt that needed reinforced.
The most important place to focus is on helping your child learn to positively process the instructions of other adults by your own behavior, reactions, or words and your child will learn to still respect other adults but know that what really counts is what mommy has to say!
— Deborah, Teach Preschool
|Mom Expert (Jill from A Mom with a Lesson Plan) :Oh this is a good one. With parenting there are so many different ideas, beliefs and techniques. You would be hard pressed to find two people with exactly the same parenting style. Since socialization is so important (for parents and kids) there are bound to be times when your parenting styles clash with those around you.I think I would start by asking you "Is talking to the adult really necessary?" The reason I ask is that kids are pretty good at determining which behavior is appropriate at which times. "Library behavior" is much different than "park behavior" and kids are taught early the rules for each situation. Depending on the amount of time you are spending with this friend, the simple solution might be to have special rules for this particular friend. "She prefers quiet and calm, so when we play at her house we will do our best to respect her feelings." When the play is on your turf it will be easier to explain, "I planned this great ENERGY spending activity! Do you want to join in, or sit back and watch?" You will be teaching your kids how to survive in a social world…as well as passing on a few hints to your friend.
Of course if you feel like passing on some of your techniques, sharing ideas can be wonderful thing. If you approach the topic in a positive way you both may walk away learning something. Find blog posts, or magazine articles that support your values. "I read this great article; it was about the importance of movement and excitement." Keep in mind that every kid is different and there is no set "right" way to parent.
|Lifestyle Expert (Sarah from Füdoo Boards) :It annoys me too when people are down other kids' throats expecting what they think is "acceptable behavior". I am a pretty laid back mom, so being calm at all times isn't that important to me, but to some people quiet and calm seems to be a reachable virtue they want to instill in THEIR children. If this person is a friend that you want to hang out with, you might want to look at where you are meeting. Don't set yourself up for her corrections by going to her house, to a restaurant, or somewhere rather quiet. Instead try to meet at parks, simple hiking trails, or mall playgrounds. You can even meet with her regularly to walk with strollers and get some exercise. As long as your children are not hurting or offending anyone, she shouldn't be trying to "fix" anyone's behavior. I hope this helps!– Sarah, Fudoo Boards
You, too, can weigh in with your opinions right in the hands on : as we grow Facebook Community. Add your very own expert advice to the Unwanted Behaviors : Adult Differences discussion!
These four experts are very generous for giving their time to answer these questions on hands on : as we grow. Please check out their websites listed above. Thank you experts for your extensive knowledge!
Next Monday, the experts lend their advice for a touchy topic. Private parts and personal space may become an issue with children, learn the best way to act in these situations.
In case you're just stopping in for the first time here on Raising Kids is Tough, last month was all about Eating Battles – many questions were answered by the experts and fans of the hands on : as we grow Facebook community!
And thank you to all the readers who have submitted questions! Head over and submit your question – next month's topic I'm hoping to talk about Learning Skills – how to encourage learning, or maybe there are specific skills that your child lacks and you'd like some advice on how to teach them. Whatever it may be, submit your nagging questions that makes Raising Kids Tough! (All topics are welcome, we'll get to your question in the future!)

i found this to be an easy trip with the other fathers on our trip from our resort (ocean blue). grab a cab - around $20 - and head to the hard rock cafe. grab a couple beers, great souvenirs (punta cana specific) and walk around the small mall (if you want). simple, fun and you see a little of the area on the ride over. and as with every hard rock cafe, great music.

Eager Russian fur traders wasted no time after learning of the superb furs awaiting them in the newfound region. By 1743, private traders known as promyshlenniki were were sailing east to hunt sea otters seasonally; slowly others began the colonization process. By the late 1790s the settlers had established permanent hunting and trading posts throughout the Aleutians, on the Alaska Peninsula, and in southeastern Alaska.
Although Catherine the Great had urged peaceful dealings between the fur traders and Alaska's Natives, in truth the Aleuts (Unangan) and later other coastal tribes would suffer greatly as skilled hunters of the villages were forced to hunt for the Russians, leaving other family members to fend for themselves. The promyshlenniki were sometimes brutal in their attempts to coerce the Natives, from threats to kidnappings to killings.
Conflicts between Russian and indigenous people also accelerated with growing competition between the trading corporations that had begun to merge into fewer and more powerful companies. One of these giant corporations was the Shelikhov-Golikov Company, which soon monopolized the fur trading industry in Alaska.
The resource-rich region did not go unnoticed by others in the European world. The presence of Spanish and British explorers threatened Russia's hold on its interests. From 1776 to 1779, Captain James Cook explored the coast and his findings encouraged the crown to enter the fur-trading business. Soon Great Britain had established three Alaska-based trading posts at Fort Yukon, on the Stikine River, and in Wrangell.
In 1784, Grigory Ivanovich Shelikov, along with the crew of his two ships, arrived on Kodiak Island. Shelikov, cofounder of a monopoly that later was chartered as the Russian-American Company, found resistance among the Natives, who attacked the foreigners. Shelikov retaliated by slaughtering hundreds and taking more as hostages. He then founded the first permanent Russian settlement in Alaska and built Russian schools on Kodiak Island. Shelikov sent for Russian clergymen to convert the Natives to the Russian Orthodox religion. In schools and churches, Aleuts were forced to abandon their Native language, customs and spiritual beliefs, and learn how to read and write Russian.
Shelikov returned to Russia in 1790 and hired Aleksandr Baranov as chief manager of the monopoly. In 1799, Catherine the Great's successor, Paul I, issued the charter that created the Russian-American Company. At the helm, Baranov oversaw all of the company's fur-trading posts in Kodiak as well as in the Aleutian and Kuril Islands. However, Baranov noted that the Tlingits in Southeast were trading with non-Russian Europeans. Concerned by the loss of revenue for the Russian-American Company, in 1795 he established Mikhailovsk, a fur-trading post just north of present-day Sitka.
The U.S. Senate approved the purchase treaty on April 9, 1867, by a vote of 37 to 2; however, gaining approval within the House of Representatives created delays. At last, the House approved the treaty by a vote of 113 to 48. The American flag was raised over Sitka on October 18, 1867, now a state holiday called Alaska Day. But Alaska was not really a territory yet -- its official status was Department of Alaska. In 1884, the First Organic Act provided some semblance of government, and Alaska was redesignated as the District of Alaska. Territorial status arrived in 1912 with the Second Organic Act. From purchase to statehood, more than 90 years would pass.

College Football 2012 — Week Nine Preview
It's always a sad moment when you realize that college football's regular season is more than halfway done, but it should still be a fun week with lots of exciting games on tap. Six of the top 10 teams in the country play ranked opponents, and 13 top 25 teams face challenges on the road.
Here is what to watch this week in college football:
#13 Mississippi State (7-0) at #1 Alabama (7-0)
[Saturday at 8:30 p.m. on ESPN]
After steamrolling through its first seven opponents, the Crimson Tide now gets to the meat of its schedule with a three-game stretch vs. #13 Mississippi State, at #6 LSU and vs. #22 Texas A&M. Thus far, Alabama hasn't really been challenged, outscoring its opponents by almost 33 points per game. The Tide defense has been as good as we've seen in years, ranking first in almost all defensive categories. But while the defense understandably gets the publicity, the Alabama offense has been no slouch either, scoring 40+ in five of seven games this year. Quarterback A.J. McCarron leads the nation in pass efficiency and the offense ranks 14th nationally in scoring. This week, however, they'll be challenged by a Mississippi State defense that ranks ninth nationally in both scoring defense and interceptions. On offense, MSU running back LaDarius Perkins leads the SEC in rushing but will face a Crimson Tide defense that is giving up less than 59 rushing yards per game. The Bulldogs are off to their best start since 1999, but their three league wins have come against teams that are a combined 0-14 in SEC play. Mississippi State has lost four straight to Alabama and has never put up more than 10 points in a game during that stretch.
Colorado (1-6) at #2 Oregon (7-0)
[Saturday at 3 p.m. on PAC-12 Network]
Colorado gave up 458 yards and 50 points last week at USC, and things aren't likely to get much better this week on the road at Oregon. The Ducks are second in the nation in scoring offense (51 points per game) and fourth in rushing. They should have little difficulty against a young, beat up Buffs defense that is next-to-last in the nation in scoring defense, giving up almost 43 points per game. Barring a Rocky Mountain-sized miracle, this one should be over early.
#3 Florida (7-0) vs. #12 Georgia (6-1)
[Saturday at 3:30 p.m. on CBS; game played in Jacksonville, FL]
Thanks to a front-loaded SEC schedule, Florida can clinch the SEC East before the end of October with a win over the Bulldogs this weekend. The Gators are 7-0 thanks to a stifling defense that ranks seventh in total defense and fourth in scoring. This week, however, they'll face a Bulldogs offense that is second in the conference in total offense. Georgia quarterback Aaron Murray, who has already thrown for over 1,900 yards and 16 touchdowns this season, is coming off a career day with 427 yards and four touchdowns last week against Kentucky. However, he likely won't be helped this week by a Bulldogs defense that has given up at least 300 yards in every game this year and 20+ points in all but one. Florida is certainly no offensive juggernaut (102nd nationally in total yards), but has shown the ability to put up points, scoring 30+ points in four of its last five games. Georgia beat Florida last year, but has won just 3 of the last 14 meetings.
#15 Texas Tech (6-1) at #4 Kansas State (7-0)
[Saturday at 3:30 p.m. on FOX]
After moving to the top of the Heisman contender list, Kansas State quarterback Collin Klein will look to keep the Wildcats in the national title mix against a surprising Red Raider squad that still has hopes for a Big 12 championship. Klein is coming off a career day against West Virginia (323 passing yards and seven total touchdowns), but will face a much tougher task with Texas Tech, currently ranked seventh nationally in total defense. The Red Raider defense has held five opponents to 14 or fewer points, but was lit up in those other two games (41 by Oklahoma and 53 by TCU). However, even if the defense does have a down day, Texas Tech showed last week (56-53 victory) that their offense is good enough to win a shootout. Quarterback Seth Doege has thrown 15 touchdowns in his last two games and leads the nation in scoring. The Wildcats are seeking their first 8-0 start since 1999.
#5 Notre Dame (7-0) at #8 Oklahoma (5-1)
[Saturday at 8 p.m. on ABC]
Two of college football's premier programs will meet in a game with serious national-title implications. Notre Dame features its best defense since its 1988 national-championship team and has not given up a rushing touchdown this season. However, they have yet to face an offense with the firepower of Oklahoma. After struggling in an early loss to Kansas State, Sooners quarterback Landry Jones has excelled of late, throwing for 880 yards, seven touchdowns and one interception in his last three games. The Sooners rank 17th in total yards and seventh in scoring this season, but will face their toughest defensive test yet against the Fighting Irish and star linebacker Manti T'eo. After missing last week's game with a concussion, Notre Dame starting quarterback Everett Golson is expected to be back under center this week. Notre Dame has won eight of nine all-time meetings with the Sooners, but the two have not played since 1999.
#6 LSU, Bye
LSU gets a very well-timed bye to prepare for next week's big showdown with #1 Alabama.
#7 Oregon State (6-0) at Washington (3-4)
[Saturday at 10:15 p.m. on PAC-12 Network]
After missing two games with a left knee injury, Oregon State quarterback Sean Mannion is expected to be back under center for the Beavers this week. Before his injury, Mannion ranked sixth in the nation in passing (339.5 yards per game), so he should provide an upgrade to a Beavers offense that managed just 227 total yards last week. Washington's offense, which ranks 105th in total yards and 107th in scoring, could be in for another tough week against Oregon State, which is giving up just 16.5 points per game and ranks fifth in the nation in rush defense. The Beavers have won seven of the last eight in this series, but should be wary of a Washington team that has been tough at home this season, upsetting Stanford and playing USC close.
#9 Ohio State (8-0) at Penn State (5-2)
[Saturday at 5:30 p.m. on ESPN]
Neither team is eligible to play in the Big Ten title game, but these might actually be the best two teams in the conference. Ohio State dodged one bullet last week with an overtime win over Purdue and got an even bigger scare when star quarterback Braxton Miller was rushed to the hospital with an apparent head injury. However, tests revealed no serious injury and, despite a sore neck, Miller is expected to start this week. The Buckeyes are 8-0 for the first time since 2007 behind Miller, who is second in the Big Ten in total offense and needs just 41 rushing yards to become the first Ohio State quarterback ever to rush for 1,000 yards. This week, however, he'll be tested by a Penn State defense that has given up less than 250 yards in three of its last four games. After dropping their first two, the Nittany Lions have rebounded with a five-game winning streak in which they've outscored their opponents by over 20 points per game. Senior quarterback Matt McGloin has already set a career high in passing yards and leads the Big Ten in passing yards per game (255.4).
#10 Southern Cal (6-1) at Arizona (4-3)
[Saturday at 3:30 p.m. on ABC/ESPN2]
After demolishing Colorado last week, the Trojans should have a slightly tougher challenge this week against an Arizona offense with the ability to play with them in a shootout. The Wildcats are putting up 39.1 points per game, good for fourth nationally. But they have had trouble stopping their opponents, giving up 30.4 points and 465 yards per game. As such, Matt Barkley and the receiving tandem of Marquise Lee and Robert Woods should be able to find success through the air. Lee leads the PAC-12 in receptions and receiving yards, while Woods leads the conference in touchdown catches. The Trojans have won nine of the last ten against Arizona and are seeking their first five-game winning streak since 2008.
Duke (6-2) at #11 Florida State (7-1)
[Saturday at 3:30 p.m. on ESPNU]
Duke is already bowl-eligible for the first time since 1994, but has its sights set even higher as the Blue Devils control their own destiny in the ACC Coastal division. However, history is not on their side this week as the Devils are 0-17 all-time against Florida State and have not beaten a ranked team on the road since 1971. Duke's defense has given up almost 28 points per game (73rd nationally) this year and will be facing a Seminoles offense that is scoring over 44 per game and has scored 49 or more points five times this year. However, Florida State will be without star running back Chris Thompson, who will be out for the year after suffering a torn ACL last week. Thompson had been on a pace to become the Seminoles' first 1,000-yard rusher since Warrick Dunn in 1996. Even without Thompson, Florida State should be able to control Duke with a defense that ranks second in the nation.
#14 Clemson (6-1) at Wake Forest (4-3)
[Thursday at 7:30 p.m. on ESPN]
The Tigers are averaging almost 41 points and 493 yards per game this year. But last week against Virginia Tech, when the offense was held to its lowest total in almost two years (295 yards), it was the defense that stepped up big, forcing four turnovers, returning an interception for a touchdown and giving up the fewest points they have to any FBS opponent this season. This week, however, the Clemson offense should be able to return to form against a Demon Deacons defense that has given up an average of 405 yards and 28 points per game (73rd and 74th in the country, respectively). Wake Forest has lost three in a row in this series, but has won three of the last five played at home.
Cincinnati (5-1) at #16 Louisville (7-0)
[Friday at 8 p.m. on ESPN2]
Although Cincinnati was upset by Toledo last week, both teams come into this game undefeated in conference play and with their BCS hopes very much alive. Bearcats signal caller Munchie Legeaux will look to find success against a Louisville defense that ranks 45th nationally in pass defense and has given up 14 passing touchdowns this season. But he'll go toe-to-toe with Louisville quarterback Teddy Bridgewater, who is third in the nation in completion percentage (73.4%). Cincinnati has won the last four matchups with Louisville and has nine of their last ten against ranked conference opponents.
Tennessee (3-4) at #17 South Carolina (6-2)
[Saturday at 12 p.m. on ESPN]
After back-to-back road losses, the Gamecocks will look to regroup at home versus a Tennessee squad that has lost 11 of its last 12 conference games. USC running back Marcus Lattimore was injured in the LSU game and saw only limited action last week against Florida. But he is expected to be near full strength this week against a Vols defense that is 89th in the nation in rush defense.
Kent State (6-1) at #18 Rutgers (7-0)
[Saturday at 3:30 p.m. on SportsNet New York/Mid-Atlantic Sports Network]
Rutgers ranks third nationally in rushing defense, but should face a tough test from a potent Kent State attack that averages over 210 yards per game on the ground. Kent State is 6-1 and is angling for the school's first bowl invite since 1972. A win this week would give the Golden Flashes their longest winning streak in 72 years. The Scarlet Knights, are off to their best start since 2006.
Washington State (2-5) at #19 Stanford (5-2)
[Saturday at 6:15 p.m. on PAC-12 Network]
Stanford running back Stepfan Taylor rushed for a career-high 189 yards last week against Cal. He'll look for another big game against a Cougars defense that is next-to-last in the PAC-12 at defending the run. Washington State has lost four straight games and has given up an average of 30.4 points per game in that stretch. The Cougars have lost 18 in a row against top 25 teams, while Stanford has a 13-game home winning streak against unranked opponents.
#20 Michigan (5-2) at Nebraska (5-2)
[Saturday at 8 p.m. on ESPN2]
After needing a come-from-behind rally to beat Northwestern, Nebraska finds itself in another must-win position in a game that could well determine the outcome of the Big Ten Legends division. Michigan was held without a touchdown in last week's 12-10 win over Michigan State, but star quarterback Denard Robinson should be able to have success against a Nebraska defense that has been prone to giving up big plays. Nebraska features the top offense in the conference (sixth nationally in rushing, 13th in scoring) but will face a Wolverines defense that has rebounded since their early season blowout by Alabama. Nebraska has struggled with turnovers this season and will need to do a better job holding on to the ball if they want to keep the dangerous Robinson off the field.
#21 Boise State (6-1) at Wyoming (1-6)
[Saturday at 3:30 p.m. on CBS Sports Network]
Boise State ranks sixth in the nation in scoring defense, and should have little trouble with a Cowboys offense that ranks 86th in total offense and has been held under 30 points five times this year. Wyoming will be without head coach Dave Christensen, who has been fined and suspended for one game following an obscenity-filled tirade at Air Force coaches after their Oct. 13 game. The Broncos have won 47 straight games in the month of October, a streak dating back to 2001. They are 6-0 all-time against Wyoming.
#22 Texas A&M (5-2) at Auburn (1-6)
[Saturday at 7 p.m. on ESPNU]
A&M's offense was largely held in check by LSU, but they should be able to return to form against an Auburn defense that is in the bottom half of the SEC including almost all defensive categories. However, as bad as the Tigers' defense is, the offense is even worse—ranking last in the nation in both total offense and scoring offense. Texas A&M, which ranks ninth in the nation in total offense, should have little trouble racking up big numbers this week. Auburn is the first team in the history of the AP Poll, which dates back to 1936, to go from national champions to 1-6 in just two years. This is the Tigers' worst start in 60 years.
#23 Ohio (7-0) at Miami, OH (3-4)
[Saturday at 3:30 p.m. on ESPN Gameplan]
After a bye last week, Ohio returns to action with their first opportunity since 1968 to play as a ranked team. Four of the Bobcats' victories have been by seven or fewer points, but they should be able to put up bigger numbers against a Miami team that has lost its last two games by a combined 89-26. Ohio has won the last six meetings against the RedHawks.
#24 Louisiana Tech (6-1) at New Mexico State (1-6)
[Saturday at 8 p.m. on ESPN Gameplan]
Louisiana Tech quarterback Colby Cameron has thrown an NCAA-record 275 passes without an interception this season. The Aggies have gotten only two interceptions this year, so Cameron should have a good opportunity to extend his own streak.
#25 West Virginia, Bye
After back-to-back blowout losses, the Mountaineers get a week off to try to stop the bleeding and prepare for next week's contest against fellow Big 12 newcomer TCU.

Most people with a pulse, and countless members of the zombie community, have a deep abiding love for music. Regardless of personal tastes- you prefer wasting away in Margaritaville while your neighbor enjoys spending time with his girlfriend in a coma– the smile your favorite song brings to your face is a common ground for music fans worldwide.
Whether people (or the undead) express this allegiance to all things musical by laying down some tasty licks on the nearest guitar or by raising the roof every time their favorite jam comes on- it is a passion that can unite the furthest walks of humanity. Musicians, audiophiles and even the casual listener can now practice their favorite hobby sans green guilt because the music world is slowly but surely evolving to be one with an abundance of eco-friendly options.
Instruments: Getting your jam sesh on may come at the price of angering your mom while the sounds of your latest hit single pour out of her basement, but it no longer has to come at the risk of offending your other mother- Mother Nature. Moving out or getting a practice space may "cram" your style, but with all that money you are saving on rent you can probably afford these sweet instruments that aren't only fashionable, but are environmentally friendly.
The Bambusa Electric Guitar and DW Drums Eco-X Kit Kick Drum each are made from sustainable materials. If these dreamboats of the instrumental world are a little beyond your budget, try buying used instruments at a local music store. Go on now, the basement is calling- 'Free Bird' is not going to learn itself.
Recording Studios: Once those masterpieces are practiced enough that they are nearly perfect, it is time for you to record them. This is called "laying down a track" in the music biz. Trust me, I saw the "We Are The World" music video numerous times as a child, so I would know.
Grace Recording Studios in Maui, Hawaii. features photovoltaic solar panels that allows it to generate 100 percent of its own electricity- now that is a spicy recording meatball!
If you are an eco-minded musician or just a generous soul who has a passion for music and green businesses do I have the perfect investment opportunity for you! Will Benoit, a New England based musician and recording engineer, is attempting to build the first solar-powered, green recording studio in New England. He is raising money on the site kickstarter.com and is offering studio time with donations of 50 dollars or more (time is reflective donation amounts). This ambitious project that will surely benefit local musicians as well as the environment is currently roughly short 11,000 dollars of its funding goals with only fifty three days left to their deadline. There are not an abundance of eco-friendly recording studios in the world, so help this broski (not my literal brother) out if you can.
Concerts: Nothing is quite like the experience of a hearing live music in concert, I mean, you can not really say you have enjoyed John Tesh until you have heard the man tickle the ivory live; am I right, or am I right? While concerts may not inherently be green-with the huge gas guzzling buses and sea of garbage they can create-some music festivals are doing their best to make sure that their impact on mother earth is minimal.
Coachella, California's three day music festival which features some of the most talented bands in the country, has embraced eco-friendly habits. Their website now hosts a feature appropriately named "carpoolchella" that allows you to organize car shares. As if this feature were not cool enough on its own, carpools of four or more people are eligible for an array of neat prizes. I can dig it. Coachella is also reducing the use of bottled water and increasing recycling efforts. Warped Tour has launched a unique eco initiative, which focuses on lessening their tour's negative environmental impact by focusing on recycling, increasing usage of bio-diesel and the education of bands and concert goers alike about eco-friendly living. You can keep tabs on their efforts and even find volunteer opportunities on their blog.
Listening Devices: If you are a spy, I am sorry for the misleading title. This section is not for espionage and the like, but rather about the devices that make listening to music a breeze. These lovely and eco-friendly headphones from Thinksound will make your mp3 listening not only a pleasurable one, but a guilt free one too. Made from recyclable materials; they come in an equally eco-friendly, recycled, bleach free case. Frontgate offers a wireless, solar-powered speaker that you can connect to your tv, stereo or mp3 player for soothing wireless tunes in an outdoor environment.
Again, you eco-friendly fans on a budget can purchase used goods. Musicians may want to check out used equipment, such as amps and microphones, at your local music store. In no time at all you will be on your way to writing your first legendary album. May I suggest the title, "Jams for your Stam…ina! Put These Tasty Licks in Your Pipe and Smoke Them: The Legend of Zeus", no? Ok, your loss!
Metal heads, Hip Hoppers, Doo-wop enthusiasts and Polka fans may never agree on what defines the perfect song, but all music fans can agree that grooving out to music that is created, performed and listened to in an eco-friendly manner somehow sounds sweeter.

I got a chance to talk with Warrior's Hockey Product Manager, Keith Perera, about Warrior's first line of goalie gear. They will be coming out with two product lines called the Messiah and the Swagger. Warrior has put a lot of effort into their goalie line knowing that they really have one shot to prove to goalies that they belong in the market.
Although Warrior is new to the goalie market, they have a lot of expertise in the field. Their design team has past experience with other elite goalie companies including Eagle and Vaughn, and they have had many elite level goalies testing their products to give feedback. Warrior is ready to be a contender in the goalie market.
The Messiah line, which is Warrior's pro level line will be available through IW by request only, but IW will be carrying the Swagger line.
The Swagger leg pads have an inner foam core that uses Zotefoam™ components, which is going to provide a lot of protection that will not compress over time. To provide a high level of durability Warrior has used some sublimated Tuff Tech material. In addition to the durability, the Tuff Tech material doesn't retain water which helps maintain a super lightweight feel. On the back side of the pad, Warrior has used a Nash leather in the leg channel to help with durability as well as provide a comfortable fit. On the inner side of the pad, Warrior has used a strip of HD foam which allows the pad to lay flush on the rink as well as hold its shape over time. With all the technology that has gone into this pad, it is perfect for a butterfly style goalie because the pad uses the players body weight to keep the pad from rotating when on the rink. These pads have an estimated retail price of $649.99
The Swagger catch glove will provide an elite level of protection with a quick break-in design, which means the glove is game-ready right out the package. The glove uses a Clarino synthetic leather liner to provide a comfortable fit as well as an Antimicrobial V-Tek™ liner to wick away moisture. The Swagger catch glove offers a large thumb box with an adjustable strap to allow for a more customizable fit and full thumb protection. The Swagger catcher uses multi-flex backhand protection to provide full coverage of the hand. The estimated retail price of the Swagger catch glove is $199.99.
The Swagger blocker uses a flared design at the top and bottom of the blocker to allow for easier rebound control and an improved paddle-down position. This blocker offers an adjustable side board for maximum surface coverage while still staying within sizing regulations. Warrior uses a backhand saddle design on this blocker to reduce rotation on the hand and provide optimum positioning. The Swagger blocker uses a 3-D mesh in the fingers for breathability as well as an antimicrobial V-Tek™ liner to help wick away moisture. The palm of the Swagger blocker features a padded Smart Palm which dampens vibration impact as well allow for a firm grip of the stick. This blocker's estimated retail price is $149.99.
The Swagger goal pants use molded Zotefoam™ which allows for less foam to be used because the Zotefoam™ is so durable and strong. This smaller amount of foam allows for the pants to be more form fitting which makes the pants feel very lightweight. The Swagger goal pants use a high-strength poly-weave material in the high impact areas for added durability. Warrior has used the same antimicrobial V-Teck™ liner as the catch glove and blocker which wicks moisture away from the body. These pants use a stretchable mesh in the inner leg as well as the back side for added flexibility. The Swagger goal pants use a 420-denier nylon shell to provide a high level of durability. The Swagger goal pants have an estimated retail price of $139.99.
After seeing all of Warrior's advancements in the player market, it is great to see them jumping into the goalie market. Look for the Warrior goalie line here at Inline Warehouse and Ice Warehouse.

Chandler's Colorful Crafty Space
Name: Chandler Ellis (newborn)
Location: Brownwood, Texas
This room used to be orange. Bright orange. Anyone who has been to our home knows that I LOVE color. Bright, bold, paint colors. But when we found out we were expecting, I decided to go in the opposite direction. I wanted a clean white slate.
I chose Behr Ultra Pure White paint for the walls and decided it would be fun to incorporate lots of bright colors with decor. The alphabet wall was a craft project that started out small and ended up being a main focal point for her nursery. I made each letter of the alphabet using a paper mache method and decorated them with various bright papers, fabrics, textures, and paint. The crib was gifted to us by a family friend, so my husband and I decided it would be okay to splurge a bit on the comfy La-Z-Boy Claiborne swivel-glider chair.
My husband is a wood worker and craftsman. He made her changing table from oak wood and stained it to match the crib. I knew I wanted to incorporate large spots of color with the baskets from Land of Nod. The baskets also serve as great storage for diapers, bath accessories, and other various items.
The closet originally had an accordion folding door, but I decided to take down the accordion door and cover it with a curtain panel instead. Again, for more color. On the same wall as her closet is actually a door that goes to the porch. I wanted to make it look more like a window, so I made another curtain panel to cover it.
Chandler's nursery turned out very bright and colorful — even with white paint on the walls! It is a very cheerful room that I hope she loves.
Thanks, Rebecca! Readers, you can visit Rebecca at Life Unscripted.

The Elis are off until their west coast road swing that begins on March 7 at San Diego State University (3-2).

When Ivonne of Cream Puffs in Venice announced "The Beautiful Fig" as the theme for this month's Sugar High Friday, I really wanted to participate in this month's SHF and support my fellow Daring Baker Ivonne. Sugar High Friday, the brainchild of Domestic Goddess Jennifer, is the food blogosphere's travelling sweet tooth event. Every month a new host picks a theme ingredient and anyone can create something sweet incorporating the theme.
Fresh black mission figs seem to say "autumn" to me and are readily available this time of year. It almost seemed like a shame to bake the wonderfully sweet fresh figs, so I made sure to buy extra figs for snacking too! When combined with walnuts, this fig loaf turned out to be a perfect autumnal treat.
Fig Walnut Loaf
(makes one 8x4-inch loaf OR three 3x5-inch mini loaves)
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
6 ounces unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1/3 cup light brown sugar
2 large eggs, at room temp.
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
2/3 cup chopped fresh figs
1/3 cup chopped walnuts
Preheat oven to 325F. Butter and flour one 8x4 inch loaf pan (or three 3x5 inch mini loaf pans). Sift together flour and baking powder. Set aside.
Stir butter and both sugars until combined. Mix in eggs and vanilla. Add flour mixture and mix until just incorporated. Mix in figs and walnuts.
Pour batter into the 8x4 inch loaf pan (or divide batter evenly among the three mini loaf pans). Bake at 325F until cake tester comes out clean (a few dry crumbs are okay but it shouldn't be wet), approximately 75 minutes for the 8x4 inch loaf (or 30-40 minutes for the three mini loaves). Cool in pan for 5-10 minutes before slicing.

MACRO PERSPECTIVE - Is the global economy seeking something new ?
Monthly macroeconomics analysis by Philippe Waechter, Chief economist of Natixis Asset Management.
"Since last summer, the perception of the global economic cycle has been wavering between a fairly optimistic view that reflects a return to growth and the end of the crisis, and a more worried image resulting from hurdles that interfere with or postpone the shift towards the more positive outlook.
To avoid focusing on and aggravating the more negative viewpoint by increasing uncertainty, key central banks have maintained neutral strategies. They will keep interest rates extremely low while emphasizing the impact of their use of "forward guidance" in their monetary policy to bolster the expectations of private players and influence the future.
Investors vacillate between positive and negative scenarios, which may lead to significant financial market fluctuations, especially for risky assets. However, there seems to be a tendency to invest in the assets of industrialized countries. Consequently, in these countries or areas, interest rates remain low without any indication of rising and risky assets are highly valued. As a result, stock market valuation indicators are high and returns on corporate and government bonds are low. Thus, emerging market assets have weakened. The perception of the global cycle is one in which industrialized markets, especially that of the United States, are strong and emerging markets are weak. This is reflected in transactions. This image has been enhanced by recent incertitude.
This general reticence should be explained to better understand the immediate effects on the economic cycle. The analysis reveals two explanations. On the one hand, there is a dichotomy between industrialized and emerging markets. On the other hand, there are questions as to whether or not industrialized countries can prolong growth and finally put an end to the crisis."

President Barack Obama nominated current White House Chief of Staff Jack Lew to be the next Secretary of the Treasury this afternoon at the White House.
Lew will replace current Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner.
"This is bittersweet," Obama said, giving Lew high praise.
"Jack has been my Chief of Staff for the last year. I trust his judgment, value his friendship, know few people of greater integrity. My loss will be the nation's gain."
He added: "Jack knows that every number on a page, every dollar we budget, decision we make, has to be an expression of our values."
Obama also commended the outgoing Geithner and his four years of work.
"When the history books are written, Tim Geithner is going to go down as one of our finest secretaries of the Treasury," Obama said.
The ceremony was a lighthearted one, and included jokes from both Obama and Lew himself about Lew's much talked-about loopy signature.
Lew made the first crack, telling Geithner "we both share a common challenge with penmanship."
Obama came back to the podium after Lew was done speaking and joked that he considered rescinding Lew's nomination when he became aware of Lew's signature yesterday.
"Jack assures me he will work to make at least one letter legible so as not to debase our currency," Obama said.
For reference, here's Lew's signature:

An Evening with Terry Tempest Williams, 8 p.m. Korb Classroom, Fine Arts Center
An essayist and nature writer, Williams raises important issues facing our nation, particularly the environment of the American West. As she writes, "The eyes of the future are looking back at us and they are praying for us to see beyond our own time." Her best known book, Refuge: An Unnatural History of Family and Place, juxtaposes the rise of the Great Salt Lake and the flooding of the Bear River Migratory Bird Refuge in 1983 with her mother's death from ovarian cancer caused by radioactive fallout from nuclear tests in the Nevada desert. In her essays, she routinely questions America's environmental policies on public land issues, even while shining a light beyond those issues to the most deeply human.
