BOSTON, Mass. - In a tight game that could have gone either way, it was the Engineers of MIT (5-2) who pulled out the victory as they defeated men's basketball (3-3) by the final of 69-63 Tuesday evening in the Clark Athletic Center Gymnasium in a non-conference match-up.
The Beacons overcame a seven-point deficit at half and nearly lead on multiple occasions in the second as they looked to upset one of the top teams in New England basketball. However MIT would use some key baskets in the paint to keep their lead over the hungry Beacons. The Engineers "big men" came through when they were needed most to help make that final push in the later part of the final half.
Matt Redfield was amongst those dominant "big men" as the 6'8" junior dropped in a game-high 27 points, 13 of which came in the second half. On the glass, Redfield pulled down 16 boards with six coming on the offensive glass. From the field he was 7-for-11, but at the line is where he also did a majority of his work as he finished 13-for-21.
For UMass Boston it was once again Carl Joseph (Brockton, Mass.) leading the way as the junior put together another all-around solid showing. The Brockton native was 4-for-9, with UMB's only 3-pointer, and was 4-for-5 at the line. He finished third in boards with five behind Gregory Young (Boston, Mass.) who had six and Jerard Mayes (Boston, Mass.) who had a team-best eight.
Mayes along with Omar Benabicha (Saugus, Mass.) each finished Tuesday's game with 21 points, as Mayes went 6-for-10 from the floor and Benabicha went 6-for-8. Off the bench Dontreal Thomas (New Orleans, La.) dropped in 11 points.
For most of the first half, the Engineers were in control as they held a double-digit lead on the scoreboard. However with less than five minutes to play the Beacons kept the Engineers to single-digits thanks in part to some strong play from by Thomas and Joseph.
In the second half, MIT struggled to maintain possession of the ball as they turned it over four times in the first five minutes of the new half. This allowed the Beacons to cut the seven point deficit down to three as they went on a quick 6-3 run to make it 35-32 with plenty of time in the contest.
Now with their backs up against the wall, saw UMass Boston come within one field goal of tying Tuesday's contest multiple times. However a key three pointer from Dakota Pierce seemed to give the Engineers some much needed wind in their sails. They would then push their lead back to seven as they went a 5-3 run to make it 52-45. From there the closest UMass would come would be in the final one minute 10 seconds of the contest as they cut the Engineers lead back down to four following a 5-0 run capped off by a Young free throw. MIT would use the consistent shooting of Justin Pedley and Redfield at the charity strip to pull away in the closing seconds.
On the night MIT shot 46.3% from the field (19-41), while the Beacons finished shooting 41.7% (25-60). The Engineers also managed to outrebound the Beacons 36-31, but it was UMass Boston who outscored MIT off of turnovers converting their 22 TO's into 20 points.
Men's Basketball returns to action on Saturday when they host Keene State College at 3 p.m. in the 2013 Little East Conference opener for both teams.

Builders of the Pacific Coast
(LIMITED SUPPLY LEFT - CALL PRIOR TO ORDERING, THANK YOU!)In 2004, Lloyd Kahn discovered a group of unique carpenters along the Pacific Coast of North America. Over a two-year period, he made four trips north from his home in the San Francisco Bay Area, up the coast, shooting the photos that appear in this book. To preserve homeowners' privacy, specific locations are not given, but suffice to say this book focuses on the Pacific Coast north from San Francisco up to and around Vancouver Island, British Columbia, latitudes 37 to 49 degrees. There's been a vortex of creative carpentry energy in this part of the world over the last 30 years. Many of the builders shown here got started in the countercultural era of the '60s and '70s, and their work has never been shown in books or magazine articles. As in the author's previous books Shelter and Home Work, there are three featured builders: Lloyd House, master craftsman and designer who has created a series of unique homes on a small island; Bruno Atkey, builder of a number of houses and lodges built of hand-split cedar on "The Wild Coast" (the Pacific Ocean side of Vancouver Island), and SunRay Kelley, barefoot builder tuned into Nature, who has designed and built wildly imaginative structures in Washington, California, and other parts of the country. In addition, there are working homesteads, sculptural buildings of driftwood, homes that are beautiful as well as practical, live-aboard boats, gypsy-type caravans, and examples of stunning architectural design. The two predominant features of the landscape here are water and wood. Most of these buildings are on or close to the sea. Islands are reached by ferries; it's a marine environment. And, there's an abundance of wood. Trees grow fast and tall in rainy Northwest forests; many of these buildings were constructed entirely from logs off the beach or trees from adjacent land. You're invited to come along on these trips up and down the coast: going down these roads, riding the ferries, camping on the beaches, meeting these builders, and seeing their unique creations. 251 pages, 11.8"x8.8", Shelter Publishing

Paul Ehrlich (1854-1915)
The germ theory of disease developed by scientists such as Louis Pasteur and Robert Koch led to the development of the first 'magic bullets', chemicals developed to attack specific bacteria. The German doctor Paul Ehrlich, a member of Koch's research team, stained micro-organisms in order to observe them under the microscope. He found that some of the dyes he used for staining only attached themselves to the specific bacteria he was investigating, but not to human cells. He soon began looking for dyes that would simultaneously stain and act as a poison. These would kill this micro-organism but not the patient. His first working chemical, Salvarsan (discovered in 1905), provided the model for the development of many more 'magic bullets'.
Throughout his life, Ehrlich's aim was to put chemistry in the service of medicine - he coined the word 'chemotherapy' to denote the use of chemicals in the treatment or control of diseases. In 1908 Ehrlich received the Nobel Prize in Medicine for his research on the immune system.

South African Thomas Aiken lifted his first European Tour title at the Open de España - and was quick to dedicate the win to three-time winner Seve Ballesteros.
"It's been a sad week with Seve passing away," he said. "I definitely want to dedicate this win to him with it being his home Open and what he gave to his home fans and to golf.
"He was everything to the game of golf and I am happy to have won for him - any of us would have won for him.
"I remember Seve, how he enjoyed life and how he enjoyed the game. He has been an inspiration for me and has kept me working hard.
"My first European Tour win has not been an easy week, very emotional."
The 27 year old from Johannesburg, playing his first tournament after a seven-week lay-off, shot a closing 70 at El Prat near Barcelona to beat Dane Anders Hansen by two.
Aiken took the first prize of €333,330 with a ten under par total of 278.
"I don't think it's quite hit home yet," he added. "I've been waiting for this for a long, long time and I've been knocking on the door. I'm ecstatic."
With all the players again wearing black ribbons in memory of the Spanish superstar, Aiken became the fifth South African to win on The European Tour already this season – Masters Tournament champion Charl Schwartzel among them, of course.
He resumed two in front and doubled that with birdies at the second and sixth.
He added another on the short 11th and after failing to get up and down from sand at the 223 yard 13th he came straight back with a further birdie.
Three-putting the 15th cut the gap to three again and when he drove into sand down the 17th the outcome was still far from certain.
However, Aiken, six times a winner in his home country, saved par and finished with another.
Playing partner Hansen, never able to pile on the pressure, birdied the par five last to push Scotland's Scott Jamieson and Spaniard Pablo Larrazábal into joint third.
"I played pretty good but he played solid and he got too far ahead," said Hansen.
"He made the crucial putts and I didn't. I gave it a run, but he played great and got the putts at the right time, that makes a huge difference.
"It was hard work for him up there, but he did well. He's been so close so many times and he deserves it. I am as happy as you can be in a second place.
"The news about Seve was awful. I only knew when I saw 'Seve forever' on 17 and I felt awful. He is one of the reasons I am here today. We loved watching him because he was so inspiring. I am really sad."
For 27 year old rookie Jamieson it was the best of his three top-ten finishes already this year and he earned a cheque for €112,600.
Welshman Phillip Price and France's Gregory Havret both bogeyed the 18th to drop into a tie for fifth with Scot Paul Lawrie, England's Simon Dyson and David Horsey and Havret's compatriot Romain Wattel.
Jose Maria Olazábal, mourning the loss of his great friend and ex-Ryder Cup partner Ballesteros, managed only a 77 and fell outside the top 50 on eight over.
Aiken did not even touch a club during a month-long trip to the Bahamas and even with three weeks of practising at home after that he came with no great expectations.

text: The European Union has been taking a leisurely pace investigating Google over possible antitrust abuses, but it's now accelerating to a full-on sprint. European Commission competition head Joaquin Almunia has given Google just a "matter of weeks" to propose how it would patch things up and soften fears that it was unfairly pushing its own web services over others. If Google makes the Commission happy, Almunia says, the whole investigation might wrap up and avoid fines. Google hasn't responded yet, but we wouldn't guarantee that it makes a deal: its execs have usually argued that there's nothing keeping users from going to another search site, and the company has been eager to emphasize that competition still exists. That said, Google only has to see what happened to Microsoft to know how expensive an EU antitrust fight can be.

"If children do not snack often, there is no food that is really bad for their teeth," said Dr. Warren Brill, president of the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (AAPD). "In fact, many parents may not realize that children's dental health depends less on what they eat and more on how often they eat it."
Brill recommends choosing candy or sweets that are eaten quickly, rather than something that stays in the mouth. "The important thing with sweets is how long the sugar sits in the mouth," he stated. "The sugar turns into acid and demineralizes teeth."
Contrary to popular opinion, dentists do enjoy the Halloween holiday and the AAPD has offered a few simple tips on how to keep little mouths healthy this Halloween:
"At the end of the night, children should brush and floss, or at the minimum rinse with water. It is letting the candy stay on the teeth that can lead to dental decay," said Brill.

Goethe's Color Theory Applied
Lois Schroff
A companion to the book Color - It's Relationship to Soul and Spirit
Includes step-by-step instruction and demonstration in veil painting
When one thinks clearly about darkness, light and color, it is obvious that their existence is not dependent upon the physical. Darkness and light are primal spiritual phenomena, and the world of color and soul are the result of their interaction."
– Lois Schroff
Lois Schroff has done something that many of us have been hoping someone would do – she has put a class in watercolor veil painting on video so that all those who long for a painting class but do not have a way to attend one can learn this healing and enlivening technique.
This video is the perfect companion to Schroff's book, which contains detailed descriptions and clear black & white photos of the veil painting process. Because painting is a fluid, moving activity, Spirit in Watercolor picks up the instruction where Color – Its Relationship to Soul and Spirit leaves off.
It is with joy and gratitude to Lois Schroff that we offer her video in our shop.

Guys/girls... check out my buddy's LiPo charging get up! This is in place of a LiPo charging bag! I always give him friendly crap about it... but just wanted to open it up to the forums to give everyone the opportunity to comment!!
Stampede 4x4 VXL | Rustler VXL
Not sure about the aluminum foil...
Aye, metal foil all over the balancer board and connector area isn't the brightest idea really.
If he can't afford a proper lipo bag, tell him to find and old metal tin with a lid, just notch the lid or bottom half for the wires to exit without getting trapped. Some guys even use hollow concrete blocks to sit the lipos in ( stood on edge ) as they will contain any fire quite well.
Keeping the Mods busy is my specialty...
Glass, really doesn't he know what glass does if it explodes?
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Oh Wow
I don't think Lipos explode like a bomb, they burn baby burn, with a little knowhow chaging is not a big deal.
Would you go flip my truck back over??
Ask him if he will sell the coffee pot. I need one just like that. Then he can get a lipo sack. LOL...
*Proud Husband of United state's Air Force wife.*
I'd like to know if anyone has checked the temp in that jar while charging.
Glass jar in sunlight hmmmmm.
I would be more concerned about getting a better charger. If I thought my charger could even charge with the wrong settings and blow my lipo up. Let's see your charging setup Safety Officer Sam.
what he's made there is in effect a bomb because if the lipo ignites it'll set fire to the foil which will heat up the glass and cause it to explode. so tell him he's way better off charging it in the open
Does more $ = More fun?
Rustler VXL
Wow. That is crazy. I would just charge it out of the bag.
Cheapest easiest way is going with two clay pots for gardening. one bigger than the other. Turn the small one upside down into the bigger pot and the wires can come out of the bottom hole and the top hole will release any pressure and keep the flames down.
Broken parts=New better parts
LIPO's do NOT explode they burn...fire, flames,smoke..
Would you go flip my truck back over??
Well that's pretty useless.
I shared all the comments with my buddy... he was very amused! He did go off about the comment about aluminum foil being flammable! His point is that you put aluminum foil on a barbeque grill and it doesn't burn-- conductive but not flammable. I think he needs a little more abuse!
Stampede 4x4 VXL | Rustler VXL
LOL! you can get a lipo sack for $0.99 on eBay and it is about $3.50 after shipping...
O yeah and they are bran new to (not used if that is what you where thinking)
sure I wouldn't rely on them or any sack that's $0.99 but it sure is a million times better than your friends bomb setup
Does more $ = More fun?
Rustler VXL
He's willing to sell this gem to the right buyer for $20 plus shipping and handling (of course).
Stampede 4x4 VXL | Rustler VXL
But i thought you could only sell, traxxas products in the market place.I don't think traxxas make foil or coffee jars.
Google search trumps Wiki. Refer to user guide.
my setup isnt much different ....
but i dont have tinfiol on it *scolds*
so this one time I ate a lipo.......

LightSquared scrabbles to save itself after FCC stops LTE plan
Freetards abandon ship amid military spectrum swap bid
LightSquared is reportedly trying to swap radio spectrum with the US military in an attempt to salvage its business model after the FCC pulled the rug from under the mobile broadband biz - but its customers are already abandoning it.
First to go is FreedomPop, a free-broadband-for-all operation (whose business plan makes LightSquared look quite sensible) that has signed up with ClearWire, but LightSquared has 30 other customers to whom it had intended to provide services on the network the FCC says can't be built.
The FCC has decided (or been told to decide, depending on whom one believes) that LightSquared's network will never be able to coexist with GPS, and therefore can't be allowed to exist, which leaves LightSquared almost $4bn out of pocket with customers waiting and a collaborative-infrastructure deal with Sprint on the table, but no usable radio spectrum within which to deploy a network.
Bloomberg reckons that's pushing the company to try a spectrum swap with the Department of Defence, as there's no significant blocks of radio on the market right now and time is running out. The US Military has enormous amounts of radio spectrum allocated to it, defence forces around the world were early adopters of radio and had great swaths allocated to defence use, before anyone thought it would have commercial value.
In the UK we're making the MoD pay for its radio spectrum, to encourage more efficient use and get some of that allocation onto the open market. The FCC has commented several times how much it admires that approach, so the idea of a swap with LightSquared isn't quite as insane as it first appears.
The FCC is certainly in a slightly embarrassing position. Ground components are allowed as part of the satellite-use licence, and LightSquared intended to exploit that loophole back in 2005. In 2010 the FCC added a coverage requirement to the licence, and, when the GPS industry started kicking up a fuss, a clause that required LightSquared to prove that it wouldn't interfere with GPS signals.
How the plan fell apart
LightSquared owns two bands, one right beside the GPS band and one some way below it, and believes that it has demonstrated that the lower band won't interfere with the vast majority of GPS kit. The company also contends that it shouldn't be responsible for mitigating interference when the fault lies with the GPS manufacturers, who have been happily making making devices that pick up signals outside the GPS band for decades.
The FCC's decision has appeased the (expansive) lobbying groups representing the GPS manufacturers, but LightSquared isn't going to go quietly and if a swap can be engineered then it could make everyone happy.
Except the incumbent operators, of course. They paid billions for their spectrum, and have always looked upon LightSquared with the distain of locals seeing the pub on the corner gentrified. Before the GPS issue kicked off, the existing operators were already complaining vocally about how unfair it all was - now that the GPS people are gone they'll no doubt be back in full voice.
But that may not be necessary. Doing a deal with the US Military will take time, and LightSquared doesn't have much time. FreedomPop wasted no time signing up an alternative network (though ClearWire has problems of its own), and the rest of LightSquared's customers are unlikely to wait long. The infrastructure-sharing deal with Sprint was dependent on LightSquared getting FCC approval, and if that falls then the cost of building the network jumps.
Which would leave LightSquared at least $3bn out of pocket, with a satellite in orbit which no one wants to use and no frequencies in which to deploy the network it can't afford to build.
No wonder it's angry. ®

One of his first expeditions, funded by the Ministry of Public Education, was to Mexico in 1860 where he studied Mayan ruins. Many of the photographs were compiled in a book published in 1863.

What I Learned Wednesday: 13 April 2011
The main thing I learned was that it is good to have a Footnote account. That way I can keep a lot of my documents on a particular person relating to a particular event in one place. I also learned which ancestors for whom I have not downloaded documents, and I remedied that this weekend: Richard Mason Brinlee and William T. Sisson.
There is either a real mystery or a mysterious dearth of documents surrounding the Fifth Texas Partisan Rangers. Four of the five Brinlee brothers claimed to have fought with this group - one has partial records, one has no records but his widow did get testimony from two guys who are listed with the Fifth that her husband had served with them, and for the other two brothers who claimed to have served with this unit (including my great-grandfather, who served with the Sixth Cavalry prior to serving in the Fifth) there are no records. My husband says this is simply a result of the nature of partisan units and of Trans-Mississippi operations during the war in general, but I am hoping to find some other evidence or indicators of their service....
Although a few years ago I did send off to the National Archives for the Civil War Service records for several of my ancestors, it is definitely easier to work with the documents on Footnote. For one thing, I have a better chance of finding all of the documents for an ancestor who served in different units. As I remember the experience with NARA, you had to specify one ancestor and one unit per order, and if you were unaware of service by that ancestor in another unit you would miss out. I do wish it was a bit easier to manipulate things and organize images into subfolders on Footnote. So far organizing images mainly consists of connecting them to the pages I set up for various ancestors.
I also finally picked up my latest issue of Family Tree Magazine and found a great article on some of the best websites for Civil War resources; of particular interest are the best state-based sites. These will go into my new Genealogy Toolbox (a separate page on this blog). Of course, right now it is just an empty page, but I have plans!

I have not had much success with footnote until blogging about the Civil War this week. Perhaps I need to plunk down some money....the free access to the Civil War records may have sold me.ReplyDelete
I have the same issue with some of my civil war ancestors. There are written accounts that they served with a unit, but I can not find the documentation to back it up. But I won't give up!ReplyDelete
Lindalee-My local library just added a Footnote subcription to their offerings so you might check into your options there.
On Footnote, you can save the images to your gallery and sort them into their own folders(called "collections") there. You can arrange them in any order you like just by dragging and dropping. It's super easy!
Linda - So far the best and main content of Footnote for me has been the military records, and it's much cheaper (and has the potential for being more thorough) than getting them from NARA. I am hoping that Footnote will add more content, too.ReplyDelete
Heather - I do have a subscription to Footnote, but so far no joy on these guys there. My husband has been helpful - I am also checking in differently-named units that may have merged with or split from the units in question. I'm thinking my best option may be to find guys who have done the unit histories or are experts on these units.ReplyDelete
Jenny - Yes, I have saved images to my gallery and "connected" them to the ancestor pages I have set up, and I am aware of the "collections" capability, but it doesn't seem to include the capability for labeling and organizing the collections (I may be wrong on this, though).ReplyDelete

Latest GOP scheme would only punish kids
Gov. Rick Perry and his cohorts in the Texas Legislature have a point - a few points, actually. One: Drug abuse is bad. Two: The state shouldn't subsidize drug abuse. Three: In these hard economic times, lawmakers should be good stewards of taxpayer dollars.
No argument here. And if Perry and friends could come up with valid legislation that backed up those points, I'd be writing a different column.
Sadly, the latest scheme top Republicans in Austin have cooked up - or, more accurately, copied from some far-right think tank that cooked it up- may only exacerbate drug abuse among needy people. It would crack down on a "problem" that's never been proved to exist. And, during these hard economic times, the expensive reforms would waste even more precious taxpayer dollars rather than save them.
And, oh yeah, it could also threaten the livelihoods of innocent children.
At issue is a bill by state Sen. Jane Nelson, R-Flower Mound, that would require needy Texans applying for state-federal welfare benefits to pass a drug test. Perry and Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst have piled on, calling for those applying for unemployment insurance to be drug-tested as well.
A sensible person might assume that since all these important officials are making this issue a priority that there's a real, pressing, expensive problem here that needs to be addressed.
But, for starters, the direct cash assistance program that Nelson is targeting only represents a sliver of welfare dollars and benefits only the poorest of the poor: a family of three, for example, that makes no more than $2,290.90 per year. There's no evidence that this group, or the unemployed, are likely to use state funds to support drug habits. When I asked Nelson's office for evidence, her staffer provided none. When I asked the state for data showing how welfare recipients spend the funds in question, I was told the state doesn't have it.
And then there's the other blaring issue no one seems to want to address. Only about 17,700 beneficiaries of the welfare program in question were adults in fiscal year 2011. The rest, 96,743, were children, according to the Austin-based Center for Public Policy Priorities, a nonprofit that advocates for low-income Texans.
What happens to the child whose parent is denied benefits for testing positive for, say, marijuana? Adults with felony drug convictions are already disqualified for welfare and food stamps, but parents are allowed to apply for direct cash benefits solely on behalf of a child. And for good reason: Children shouldn't be punished because of their parents' behavior.
Sure, it is a tragedy that a small number of parents may be exposing their children to drugs. But denying a desperate family help and plunging them further into poverty isn't going to help. The stress involved could even make it worse. We'd be treating these families more harshly than many of our courts, which have had good results encouraging treatment. And poor families aren't the only ones who would pay. You, good taxpayer, would, too. Rather than save money, a drug screening program could cost millions. A bill last session that ordered screenings just for applicants and recipients of unemployment compensation benefits would have cost about $47 million to implement over two years. Maybe that's why it never got out of committee.
Florida's trailblazing version of the scheme didn't set much of an example. Early figures show that about 2.5 percent of up to 2,000 applicants for welfare benefits have tested positive for drugs since the law went into effect in July, the Associated Press reported. And Florida didn't save money. Because it paid back applicants who tested negative for drugs, the testing cost the government an extra $45,780, said the American Civil Liberties Union.
The question remains: Why would Nelson, Perry and Dewhurst support a bill that won't reduce drug abuse and would likely cost taxpayers even more than it's trying to save? It could have something to do with a far-right campaign to undermine support for unemployment insurance benefits by associating them with welfare. Or it could be this simple: For Republicans, it's good politics to beat up on Mitt Romney's "47 percent." Even when that 47 percent are welfare recipients who are no more than 0.4 percent of Texas' 25.7 million population. And even when most of that 0.4 percent are kids.

PASADENA, Calif., Jan. 28 — The Opportunity rover is on track to roll onto Mars as early as Sunday, just days before its twin could resume its own work exploring the Red Planet, NASA said Wednesday.
Opportunity unfolded its front wheels and locked them into position, leaving just a few more tasks before being ready to travel the final 10 feet (3 meters) from its lander and onto the surface of Mars, mission members said during a news conference at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory.
NASA still wants to adjust the forward tilt of Opportunity's lander, pitching it down 5 degrees to smooth the six-wheeled robot's path. Engineers hoped to complete that work in time for a late Sunday roll-off, rover activity lead scientist Rick Welch said.
Reviving Spirit
Meanwhile, engineers worked to regain full control of Spirit, which has been sidelined for a week on the other side of the planet with crippling software problems.
"We are working to get complete control of the vehicle but still aren't quite there yet," said Jennifer Trosper, a mission manager.
Engineers expect to soon begin reusing Spirit's high-gain antenna, which would speed the transmission of data to debug the rover's problems. They planned to selectively pluck files from Spirit's overloaded flash memory or, if that fails, simply wipe it clean.
Depending on the outcome, Spirit could return to its science work early next week, Trosper said. It could resume taking engineering pictures before then.
Evidence close at hand
NASA sent Spirit and Opportunity on the $820 million mission to Mars to probe for geologic evidence of the past presence of water on what is now a largely dry, dusty planet.
That evidence could be a short drive from where the six-wheeled Opportunity now sits, in horizontally striped and fractured slabs of bedrock.
"Some of the detail you can see in here is pretty phenomenal," said camera scientist Jim Bell.
Scientists said patches visible in the layers appear to contain pebbles and other small stones that could indicate the rock formed in water. Drifting volcanic ash or wind-borne sediments also could have built up the thin layers.
The outcropping rims a portion of the small crater in which Opportunity landed.
"Landing inside a crater turned out to be a blessing," landing site scientist Matt Golombek said.
Opportunity was in good shape after its weekend landing but had developed a small, 15-watt power loss that worried NASA. Engineers believe a heater in the shoulder of its robotic arm has been turning on unnecessarily when temperatures drop. Typically, the heater is needed only when the arm is in use, mission manager Jim Erickson said.
Engineers were unsure whether the situation could harm the rover, which uses solar panels that produce up to 900 watts of power.

As the More is More Mom®, I'm all about……more leftover baguette bread! Between work, school and sports, we are a busy family; frequently living life on the fly. I have always found that the best way to stay one step ahead of the game is by being super organized, which is why I meal plan like crazy. There is nothing worse than the drive of shame…….heading through the Drive-Thru! Why eat out when you can plan a beautiful, healthy and delicious meal at home?
Recently, I learned about a great line of gourmet Artisan bread, Ecce Panis Bake at Home, which can be found at Walmart. We love fresh baked bread, but it's such a hassle to get back to the grocery store during the week just to snag a fresh loaf. With Ecce Panis Bake at Home I have the option to bake it today, tomorrow or stock pile it in the freezer for a rainy day.
We had a wonderful surprise visit from my Nick this week. Since he's been away at school, our household just isn't the same without him. I decided to make his favorite dinner; spaghetti and meatballs! What's better with pasta than fresh baked bread? So I decided to try the Ecce Panis Bake at Home, and it was delicious! Ecce Panis is made by Pepperidge Farm. Check them out on Facebook and become a fan http://www.facebook.com/PepperidgeFarm
With my eyes being bigger than my stomach (perhaps one loaf per person was too much, but I am the More is More Mom® after all), we had a little bit leftover. Since I hate for anything to go to waste, I planned a wonderful Sunday morning family breakfast; Baked French Toast. What a perfect way to start the day….
While I love a Praline Topping, my Nick is allergic to tree-nuts and I would HATE for him to go into anaphylactic shock. What a way to ruin a Sunday morning! So, I decided to make two smaller French Toast recipes; one with Praline Topping and one without.
Baked French Toast
Making a tasty meal is always a treat, but mornings are usually rushed. I love anything that can be prepped in advance, which is why this one is a total winner! Assemble it all and leave in the fridge overnight.
10" x 10" Pan serves 4-6, with approximately 18 slices of baguette bread
7" x 10" Pan serves 3-4, with approximately 12 slices of baguette bread
Generously butter the pan
Bake the Ecce Panis Bake at Home and slice into 1" thick pieces
The liquid mixture recipe covers one pan, so if you are making two pans, double the recipe.
In a mixing bowl, combine;
5 eggs
1 cup heavy cream
¾ cup of milk
2 Tbsp sugar
1 tsp vanilla
¼ tsp cinnamon
¼ tsp nutmeg
Place the slices of bread snuggly in buttered pan
Pour mixture over bread
Cover and refrigerate over night
In the morning, pre-heat oven to 350°
Prepare the Topping:
1 stick softened butter
½ cup brown sugar
½ cup chopped pecans
2 Tbsp corn syrup
½ tsp cinnamon
½ tsp nutmeg
Spread over the 7" x 10" pan of bread
Whether with or without the topping, bake for approximately 35-45 minutes
Serve with powdered sugar, syrup and my family's favorite….fresh sliced strawberries on the side!
This was so delicious, my family made a special request; please make this Easter morning! I can't think of a better way to start a special day.

A collection of personal thoughts and experiences - mostly centered around running.
Monday, July 12, 2010
Rattlesnake 50K
I've been experimenting with my training the past month and running much higher mileage than I have in the past. Normally I run 65-80 miles/week all year round with a few big weeks mixed in - very little exception. Lately I've added in 2-3 extra runs per week and lengthened some of mid-week runs a bit to bring my weekly average up around 100 miles. My goal race is the Superior Sawtooth 100 in September and I'm interested to see how/if these adjustments help me.
Nonetheless, I came into this race tired - 118 miles the week before and 60 miles already the week of the race with no taper or days off. I had no idea how my legs would feel or respond? This was uncharted territory. My goal was to try to run around or a little better than my time from 2006, but with a controlled effort.
The race started benignly enough with no one really stepping up to lead on the first climb - so I did. Early on I settled into a rhythm of running the uphills solid, then would get reeled in by a couple of guys on the flats and downhills. This is where I lacked that "pop" in my legs or the "next gear" to go as a result of the new training stresses (at least that's my assumption). Kind of strange or counter intuitive that it would be the hills where I felt the best though. It was a humid day - not nearly as hot as it was even the day before - but I knew steadiness would be the key to pulling away in this race. I just had to bide my time and be patient. I focused on my intake of fluids, calories, and electrolytes.
About the half way through the race, I was told at the aid-station that I had a two minute lead at the last one. I remember thinking, "Well. . . it's time to see what I can do!". From that point on I started pushing a bit, gradually increasing my lead, and ended up running strong to finish with the win in 4:27. I was definitely pleased with my effort and the result. My time was certainly not "fast" based on previous years, but would have presumably been at least five minutes faster had the course not had so many blow downs and treetops to weave through that had not been cleared. I'm not sure what was up with that?
All in all a wonderful time. I had a great time hanging out with all the great friends that were enjoying this classic summer ultra. That is without a doubt my favorite thing about running these things - the people. Some of the finest people I've ever met in this world are folks that I've met running ultras.
So, does this mean that my higher mileage experiment is a success? The data is still way too meager and early to make a conclusion. There's still some major training to be done between now and Sawtooth. I hope I can survive it! If I can withstand the training load, I'm confident that I'll be very fit come September. I really want to put myself in the best possible position to win a 100 miler - we'll see what happens. . .

Adam, Based upon my notes from the 2006 race, the lows were in the low 60's and the high was in the low 80's with high humidity. Starting off Saturday, we had the low 70's with high humidity, but the humidty seemed to fade as the day warmed. 2006 was my fastest year for me, so I have a feeling that your training is working. To go through the training you have done and to have the outcome that you did, I think you have at least one indicator to show that your training is going in the right direction. To feel best on the climbs further speaks to positive results from your training. Keep staying on the current course and you are going to knock 'em dead at Sawtooth.ReplyDelete
Thanks Rick - Whatever you do seems to be working as well as many ultras as you do. I got a good laugh when Tammy told you after your finish Saturday that you need to train more though. She'd be a great coach!ReplyDelete
- AnonymousJuly 14, 2010 at 12:21 PM
I had a blast running with you in the early part of the race. Congrats on the win, and hopefully if the race happens again next year, I will be able to stay with you throughout. I only started training for this run in May and I was pretty shocked at how well I did. Do you know where and when the results will be posted??ReplyDelete
Great job out there last weekend. I have no doubt that you will do quite well in ultrarunning if you stick with it. It's pretty impressive for a 19 yo to have the patience and dedication to complete an ultra - let alone do well. Find another race to train for and just keep plugging away. Keep it up man!
- I imagine the results will be posted at the Rattlesnake link in the post above.
Congrats Adam! Start of Augusta kept me busy, I missed your blog for a couple of days and come back to all kinds of great news!ReplyDelete

In the mid to late 1800's, it seems we had a widespread fear of being buried alive -- a fear you can see played out in the quantity of U.S. patents issued to inventors hoping to innovate coffin technology. From the patent for a "Coffin To Be Used In Cases Of Doubtful Death," awarded to Christian H. Eisenbrandt in 1843, to the patent for "Improvement In Life-Detectors For Coffins" awarded to Theodore A. Schroeder and Hermann Wuest in 1871, nineteenth century inventors saw a market niche in catering to individuals who might wake from a coma and find themselves in a grave.
In a July 1999 feature on innovations designed to prevent individuals from being prematurely buried, American Artifacts writes:

The Office of Public Outreach at the Space Telescope Science Insitute hosted a Workshop on Astronomy Outreach Imaging to share experiences producing images intended for public presentation from astronomical data. By bringing together practitioners of this craft the intention was to foster better ongoing communication, with the goal of improving the overall quality of products and therefore better communication of significant astronomical results to as broad an audience as possible.
This was intended to be a small and informal, but productive Workshop to share specific techniques and issues relevant to image production. There were a number of talks and live demos, as well as more informal discussions on topics such as:
- Technical workflow - Steps to produce a picture.
- Case studies - What has worked, or not; issues specific to particular observatories/missions/wavelength regimes.
- Software toolbox - IRAF, IDL, Photoshop, GIMP, Illustrator, etc.
- Color theory - The color wheel and relevant aesthetic considerations.
- Playing well with others - Tips on working with investigators, the media, etc.
- Photoshop Techniques - Specific techniques relevant to the process of producing outreach images.
- Presentation and distribution - Issues of metadata, serving images and accompanying content on-line, links to databases.
- Philosophy/Ethics - What's appropriate or not in transforming data into pictures.
In addition to the formal presentations, there was an evening presentation on Monday, September 29th, of images submitted by Workshop articipants.

MPBN/PBS Kids channel to air state championship basketball games
The Maine Public Broadcasting Network will be using the PBS Kids Channel to televise some of the state schoolboy and schoolgirl state championship games this weekend along with its primary MPBN network.
Charles Beck, the vice president for radio and TV content at MPBN, said the two Friday games will be rebroadcast on Saturday and the eight Saturday finals will be rebroadcast on Sunday between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m.
The games will be flip-flopped so that the games that were shown live on one network will be rebroadcast the next day on the other network.
For example, the Class AA boys state title game between South Portland and Portland will be televised live on the PBS Kids Channel on Saturday at 9 p.m. and the Sunday rebroadcast will be aired on MPBN at 2 p.m.

However, while the extension of the PTC has boosted orders, it is not expected to have a major long-term effect as there is still no policy certainty post-2014. This means that an industry that has spent the past ten years focusing on growth is now having to look more closely at becoming more efficient to survive.
Theo Botha, head of sales and marketing at blade manufacturer Blade Dynamics, says that in order to be competitive in the US, the wind industry needs to be both "big and good". In recent times so much effort has gone into becoming bigger that there have not been sufficient strides in innovation, he says.
There are also those who believe that innovation has suffered as a result of attention being focused on subsidies. Patrick Jenevein, chief executive of wind-farm developer Tang Energy Group, believes that research and development has been a casualty of the pursuit of subsidies - resulting in a less efficient product.
"Without subsidies, the wind industry would be forced to take a hard fresh look at its product. Fewer wind farms would be built, eliminating the market-distorting glut," Jenevein wrote in the Wall Street Journal in April.
"And if there is truly a need for wind energy, entrepreneurs who improve the business's fundamentals will find a way to compete," he added.
Tower manufacturer Broadwind Energy has used a strategy of diversification to keep its head above water. Having managed to stay the course, it is now seeing an increase in orders for its urbine towers. Meanwhile, blade maker Blade Dynamics has maintained its focus on innovation and, benefiting from its relatively small business size, has been able to adapt relatively easily to changing circumstances (see profiles, overleaf).
While recent market conditions have seen many players exit the supply chain in the US wind industry, wind tower manufacturing and services company Broadwind, based in Cicero, Illinois, has emerged as a success story.
The company recently announced that it had won three new orders for wind towers worth a combined $79 million.
"Deals are getting signed; people are ramping up their production facilities again," says Broadwind CEO Peter Duprey. "The whole industry went through either a shutdown or idling at the end of last year and is now quickly trying to gear back up again."
While many players in the wind-industry supply chain have exited and many plants have been closed or repurposed. Broadwind remains very much in play as a result of diversification. "Originally we were a pure player in the wind energy sector in the US," says John Segvich, the company's head of communications. "Now when you look at Broadwind, we have an offer of integrated solutions, which include wind-turbine towers and a services business for drive trains and blades."
Diversification has also meant taking Broadwind's expertise in welding large structures, such as wind towers, and its core capabilities of gearing, welding and services, and looking into complementary markets. The company is now also involved in oil and gas, mining and steel.
Broadwind is likely to remain a diversified player. "The lack of policy clarity in the US is a challenge. We are a public company, so in the best interests of investors, diversified play is the way to go," Segvich says.
However, Broadwind remains committed to the wind industry. Many wind turbine manufacturers are looking at taller towers, larger rotors and more powerful turbines, which is pushing the industry to evolve.
Broadwind made a move towards taller, heavier towers from an early stage and so was well positioned in the market to meet the needs of customers looking for that type of tower.
For the future, Broadwind intends to concentrate on leveraging its core competencies of gearing, welding and services and how to apply these within the wind sector.
Customer intimacy
"We are pushing customer and industry diversification," says Segvich. "We have diversified outside wind, but we are also diversifying inside the wind sector.
"We have added new tower customers over the past few years and we are adding new services for customers as well, so we are building customer intimacy in the market."
Blade Dynamics (BD) has been affected by US market "horror show", says head of sales and marketing Theo Botha, but has benefited from the advantages in being a smaller player willing to change and innovate.
The company was started in 2007 on the UK's Isle of Wight. Its founders recognised that future blades would need to be longer and lighter and that making larger things in one piece was much harder. It developed a modular technology.
In 2010, US wind component manufacturer AMSC acquired a 25% stake, increasing the company's available capital, and BD took possession of former NASA premises in Louisiana. It manufactured its first 49-metre D49 blade, which was then GL tested and certified. In 2012 BD was awarded a £15.5-million contract by the UK's Energy Technology Institute to design and build what could become the largest offshore turbine blade.
Botha believes some large US players may have become victims of their own success, with their focus on growth resulting in compromises in innovation. Now, to continue to be competitive, wind needs to innovate to become more efficient. In addition, large supply-chain partners have a simple relationship with supply and demand: a fall in demand results in an immediate need to reduce head count, which in turn diverts attention from innovation.
Botha explains that another advantage of modular technology is that it requires little factory space or local investment: "Blades are normally only made from liquids and fabrics, which are delivered in bulk to a large processing facility in the end-user country. Because we have smaller modular components these can be shipped from country to country relatively inexpensively."
Botha is aware of the need to cut installation costs. The large size of blade factories affects the cost of wind because it takes longer to get up and running. BD can deliver blades - the largest, hardest to ship components - and manufacture them from a standing start wherever they are needed with a low capital expenditure. Botha says this increases wind's flexibility and ability to withstand shocks.
He criticises the way the wind business has been managed at government level in the US but says that, while the industry needs certainty over the production tax credit, ongoing subsidies are neither possible nor beneficial.
"Essentially they should be there to incubate the industry until it's as strong as it needs to be. Blade Dynamics exists with the sole purpose of reducing the cost of wind through composite technology, which puts us in a position to benefit from the current conditions.
"Companies that are able to tolerate the situation will survive."

Based on the real-life experiences of three polar explorers on a 73-day ocean survey in 2009, new learning materials are free to download. Parents and teachers will want to explore these educational activities on climate change and the Arctic Ocean, says CEC member Rod Macrae.
The explorers' Arctic quest makes climate change learning an adventure that is free-to-use in your home or classroom.
The team behind a survey expedition over the floating sea ice of the Arctic Ocean has unveiled a remarkable education project which it hopes will be a valuable toolkit for families, schoolteachers and students aged 5–18.
ARCTIC SURVEY EDUCATION is a free-to-use suite of materials about climate change and the Arctic Ocean. These are based on the real-life experiences of the three polar explorers who captured much-needed data about the state of the Ocean's ice during their 73-day survey early in 2009. Now the data and ice team's experience has been creatively transformed into home & classroom learning materials.
All the free resources can be downloaded from www.arcticsurveyeducation.com and include complete study kits with Guidance Notes for parents and teachers and a Resources Gallery packed with video, photo, whiteboard, PowerPoint and other materials to make inspiring and appealing interactive learning activities.
The range of materials spans all key stages of school and home learning and include exciting ways for younger children to learn with a specially commissioned illustrated story, video and a song about the adventure. Teenagers and Adults can hear from top ice scientist, Professor Peter Wadhams of the University of Cambridge Department of Applied Mathematics and Physics, and from the explorers themselves – linking Mathematics, Geography, Science and Citizenship across the curriculum in a dynamic way.
Speaking about the project, explorer and team leader Pen Hadow said: "It was always important to us that this expedition should have a lasting benefit for the generation which will live with the consequences of climate change. These classroom and family resources can really bring alive the issues of global warming and climate change in an exciting way and give children, young people, their teachers and families the chance to explore the Arctic for themselves."
ARCTIC SURVEY EDUCATION follows leading explorers Pen Hadow, Ann Daniels and Martin Hartley over their epic 73 days in the Arctic as they trek northwards in some of the most hostile conditions on earth, measuring the thickness of the remaining sea ice. Scientists know it's thinning as well as shrinking but need accurate data from the surface of the ice. At its current rate of decline, the Ocean will be effectively ice free each summer in less than 20 to 30 years. The materials raise awareness and provoke thinking about this phenomenon.
The funding and support to develop the resources have been provided by commercial and not-for-profit partners.
All the free resources are simple to use at home or school and can be viewed at www.arcticsurveyeducation.com
Arctic Survey Education has been funded by the following organisations who are Founder Members of Arctic Survey Education: Lloyd's of London, Aspen Re, Business in the Community and The Prince's May Day Network, Catlin Group, Flagstone Re, Linklaters LLP, Miller Insurance Services Limited, Newton Abbot College, Rix & Kay Solicitors LLP, Royal Geographical Society with IBG, United Utilities plc, University of Cambridge Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics, Willis Group, WWF

Inflammatory breast cancer
Dear OncoLink "Ask The Experts,"
Can you please give me some information on inflammatory breast cancer? I recently had a relative diagnosed with this condition and I am not sure if it is different from regular breast cancer .
Carolyn Vachani RN, MSN, AOCN, OncoLink's Nurse Educator, responds:
Inflammatory breast cancer (IBC) accounts for 1 to 4% of all breast cancers. It invades the lymphatic system of the skin of the breast, so it does not present as a traditional lump. Characteristics of IBC include enlargement, redness, warmth and induration (hardening) of the breast tissue, flattening or retraction of the nipple, and peau d'orange (the breast feels like the skin of an orange). These symptoms can be confused with infection and patients are often treated with antibiotics before a diagnosis is made. Unfortunately, IBC is an aggressive cancer, with over one-third of patients having metastatic disease at diagnosis.
In general, patients with IBC are treated with chemotherapy, then surgery (mastectomy), then more chemotherapy, followed by radiation. The chemotherapy drugs used for treatment are the same as in other breast cancers. Several studies have looked at breast-conserving surgery (no mastectomy) for IBC. Unfortunately, in order to remove all the cancerous tissue, this option often results in poor cosmetic outcomes. In addition, studies have seen more frequent recurrence in the affected breast when mastectomy was not used. For these reasons, breast-conserving surgery is not recommended at this time for IBC.

I can't wait to listen to Love This Giant, the album-length collaboration between David Byrne and St. Vincent which will be out sometime next month. The band's third album Strange Mercy (2011), a collection of kaleidoscopic art-damaged songs, is still on heavy rotation of course, and last weekend's Summer Sonic 2012 festival in Japan provided us with the chance to get acquainted with the evolving music and lead singer Annie Clark's intense stage performances. The mannered chamber pop of her debut Marry Me (2007) is a distant memory, ceding to wiry musical catharsis, manic guitar soloing and a choice post-punk cover (The Pop Group's "She Is Beyond Good and Evil"). The studied subversion of "Dilettante" works particularly well in this context, the singer teasing out every twisted nerve and casual vacancy in the song like a sustained illusion: "I got no patience for an estrangement, anyway". – Keith.
Strange Mercy is available on 4AD. You can also pre-order David Byrne and St. Vincent's Love This Giant here.

At the top of today's risk management agenda, cyber security poses an important challenge for financial services businesses. Highly publicized data breaches, ransom demands and distributed denial of services attacks are among the cyber security threats faced by banks.
An Accenture and Chartis Research study proposes an approach that can help build cyber resilience. Aligning the business's operational risk and cyber security teams can deliver a strong, cross-functional and integrated approach to managing cyber security and operational risk.
Here are four building blocks that can help support an integrated approach to cyber risk management:

LOUISVILLE – Simmons College has become accredited as the first private Historically Black College and University in Kentucky and is only the second HBCU in the state, along with Kentucky State University, a public institution.
"Simply put, accreditation is value," explained President Kevin Cosby. "It is proof that Simmons has met national standards necessary to produce graduates who are prepared to enter into selected professions." He explained, "The accreditation of Simmons College of Kentucky will have a ripple effect throughout west Louisville and the Commonwealth of Kentucky and is the most monumental achievement, by African Americans, to take place in the state in the last 100 years."
Most HBCUs were founded in the post-Civil War era, when Blacks were not allowed to attend college with Whites. Today, many private HBCUs are struggling to remain keep their doors open. Last summer, St. Paul's College, a private Black institution in Lawrenceville, Va., ceased operating after being in existence since 1888. Its 35 buildings and 183 acres have been put up for public auction.
Simmons College sees itself in the opposite trajectory and will be a vital force for the community it serves. Rev. F. Bruce Williams, chair of Simmons' Board of Trustees, said the goal of the college is to "teach the unteachable and reach the unreachable." And there are plenty of needy people to reach.
The college is in west Louisville, in the heart of the 40203 zip code. With open enrollment, it targets students in zip codes 40203, 40210, 40211 and 40212. Those four zip codes contain a population of low-income, first generational college students with limited resources to attend college.
According to the U.S. Census Bureau, 76,399 people live within those zip codes, 15,184 being between the ages of 20 and 34. The unemployment rate for those in that age group ranges from 20.6 percent to 38.8 percent. In the 18 to 25 age group, 55 percent do not have a high school diploma.
Simmons College is a story of revival.
Founded in 1879 by former slaves as the Kentucky Normal and Theological Institute, Simmons College of Kentucky was the premier liberal arts institution for African Americans in the state. With law and medical departments, a teacher's school and ministers' studies, Simmons prepared a number of well-trained Black attorneys, physicians, teachers and ministers and emerged as a top choice for Kentucky's Black middle class.
But like most Black colleges, it has recently struggled financially.
Under the leadership of President Cosby, who took the helm seven years ago, Simmons has taken several steps to restore it to its original prominence. In 2007, the college regained its original campus after 77 years and relocated to its original site. In 2010, the institution attained candidate status with national accreditor ABHE, making it immediately eligible to receive federal funds under Title IV.
It signed an articulation agreement with the University of Louisville and enjoys partnerships and agreements with Jefferson Community and Technical College, Spalding University and Campbellsville University. Simmons is a signature partner of the 55,000 Degrees, a community-wide effort to add 40,000 bachelor's degrees and 15,000 associate's degrees in the Louisville Community by 2020.
Rev. C. B. Akins, a Simmons Trustee, said "The time was right for Dr. Cosby to be at the helm of this school. If I told him he could not swallow an elephant, he would say, 'I can if I take one bite at a time.'"
With the recent accreditation, Simmons is diversifying its curriculum with new Associates and Bachelor's Degrees, starting with the 2014 fall semester. Four new degree programs will be added, including Associates Degree in General Studies, Bachelors Degree in Business Administration with the focus on entrepreneurship, Bachelors Degree in Communications with focus on cross-cultural communication and a Bachelors Degree in Sociology with the focus on lifelong wellness. In 2015, Simmons plans to reopen its West Campus, located in the most destitute and deprived area of west Louisville.
At the celebration last week announcing the accreditation, Carl Thomas, executive director of the Gheens Foundation, presented a check to the college for $2 million.
"The Gheens Foundation applauds the work of Simmons College of Kentucky and its desire to bring about transformational change in west Louisville," said Thomas. "We hope our gift will encourage others to give to this important work taking place at Simmons."
Also joining the celebration were Senator Rand Paul (R-KY), Congressman John Yarmuth (D-KY), State Senator Gerald Neal and Metro Council President Jim King.
Senator Paul said, "What an exciting day." He said he was proud to be a part of the ceremony, acknowledging Simmons as an Integral part of Louisville and Kentucky.
Yarmuth borrowed a quote from Vice President Joe Biden, saying, "This is a big deal."
