A Gathering to Celebrate Home
Come on over—the Novogratz family is set to serve up delicious food and memorable moments with their trademark casual flair
Ready to set a formal table? All you need is a good etiquette book as your guide. Then it's pretty much a copy-and-paste procedure to position plates, glassware, and flatware. A stylishly mismatched, totally personal tablescape, though, poses more of a challenge. But Cortney and Robert Novogratz, who juggle raising seven kids and pulling off inspiring home renovation projects, are up to it. They create charm out of chaos on the table, too.
Cortney finds a different dining table for each location the family lives.

Well Traveled Meal
When the couple planned a meal to celebrate the places they've lived—their Southern and mid-Atlantic roots, as well as stints in New York City, Brazil, and now Los Angeles—they did it in the carefree, casual manner they love.
The meal features a delightful butternut squash and fig salad.
Table Settings
"We always have extra guests around, so we've never tried having a complete set of anything," Cortney says. "We go to flea markets, and collect vintage plates in a variety of patterns for the different personalities around the table."
The Novogratz family sets the table with dinnerware discovered at local flea markets; gold flatware adds sparkle, while flowers picked from the garden imbue a simple touch of nature.
Pretty Plates
Cortney's effortlessly chic assembly of transferware plates sits directly on a table with a surface so intriguingly weathered that no placemats are necessary. Green water bottles are at the ready for thirsty kids.
A mélange of transferware plates with coordinating patterns in brown and white makes every meal feel unique.
Serving Swan
An oversize black swan bowl and other vessels hold predinner nibbles including nuts, dips, and fruit slices. Inexpensive vases filled with backyard flowers form a fun centerpiece. Pair this setting with a menu full of regional flavor, and the result is a memorable gathering with easy flair.
Family Affair
"A dining room is the soul of the house," Cortney says. "It's where you eat, sometimes spill your drink, nurture your family, and tell stories—we've even been known to dance on our tables. It's all about making memories."
Naan is baked in the home's outdoor pizza oven. (recipe here)

Moqueca de Camarao with Naan
Moqueca de Camarao is a traditional shrimp stew from the northern regions of Brazil. It is tangy from the lime and sweet from the coconut milk. Let the rice soak up the juices when you serve it. Note: Taste the stew before serving. If you find the lime too sharp, temper the tartness by stirring in a bit of sugar.
Prep: 25 minutes
Marinate: 20 minutes
Cook: 25 minutes
- 2 pounds fresh or frozen medium shrimp
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro leaves
- 2 shallots, halved
- 1/4 cup water
- 6 tablespoons lemon juice, divided
- 2 cups chopped green sweet pepper
- 1 cup chopped red sweet pepper
- 1 cup chopped onion
- 3 tablespoons minced shallot
- 1/4 cup butter
- Kosher salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 1 (15-ounce) can tomato sauce
- 1 (13.5- to 14-ounce) can unsweetened coconut milk
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 2 limes, juiced (1/4 cup)
- 1/2 cup wide-cut coconut, toasted
- 1 recipe Rice Pilaf (recipe below)
- 1 recipe Naan (recipe follows)
Thaw shrimp, if frozen. Peel and devein shrimp, leaving tails intact, if desired. In resealable plastic bag set in shallow dish, combine shrimp, olive oil, cilantro leaves, halved shallots, water, and 2 tablespoons lemon juice. Seal bag; turn to coat. Marinate in refrigerator 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, in large skillet cook sweet peppers, onion, and minced shallot in hot butter over medium heat 8 minutes or until soft and translucent. Season with salt and pepper.
Add tomato sauce. Cook 5 to 6 minutes or until reduced and thickened. Add coconut milk and chopped cilantro. Bring to boil; reduce heat. Simmer 3 to 4 minutes.
Drain shrimp, discarding marinade. Add shrimp, remaining 4 tablespoons lemon juice, and lime juice to soup. Return to boil; reduce heat. Simmer 6 to 8 minutes or until shrimp is opaque. Garnish with toasted coconut and additional cilantro. Serve with Rice Pilaf and Naan. Makes 8 servings.
For Rice Pilaf, in small saucepan cook 1/4 cup chopped onion in 2 tablespoons hot olive oil over medium heat 5 minutes or until tender. Add 1 cup white rice. Cook and stir 2 minutes. Add 1-3/4 cups water, 1 bay leaf and 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt. Bring to boil. Reduce heat and simmer, covered, 20 minutes or until water is absorbed. Fluff rice with fork.
Recipe by Chef Mary Payne Moran
Naan, a traditional Indian bread, should have a crisp exterior and slightly chewy interior. The light sprinkle of salt over the baked bread elevates the buttery taste. While naan is traditionally cooked on the walls of a high-heat tandoor, you can use a pizza stone in a hot oven or an outdoor pizza oven.
Prep: 15 minutes
Rise: 1 hour 30 minutes
Bake: 4 minutes per batch of 3 (16 minutes total) at 475°F
- 3/4 cup warm water (110°F to 115°F)
- 1 package active dry yeast
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 2-1/2 cups all-purpose flour, divided
- 1 egg white, lightly beaten
- 3 tablespoons plain yogurt
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt, plus extra for garnish
- 3 tablespoons butter, melted
In small bowl combine warm water, yeast, and sugar. Let stand 10 minutes or until foamy.
In large bowl combine 2 cups flour, egg white, yogurt, oil, yeast mixture, and 1 teaspoon salt. Mix ingredients with fork until incorporated. With floured hands mix until you can form into ball. Transfer to floured work surface. Knead dough for few minutes, adding as much remaining flour as needed to form very soft ball. Place in greased bowl. Cover; let rise in warm dry place 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Remove dough from bowl and punch down. Cover; let rise 30 minutes more.
Place pizza stone on center oven rack. Preheat oven to 475°F. Divide dough into 12 small balls. On lightly floured surface, roll balls of dough into circles. Circles should be 5 to 6 inches in diameter and 1/8 inch thick. (To prevent dough from drying out, only roll enough circles to fit onto baking stone at one time.) Working in batches, place dough circles on hot baking stone. Bake 2 to 3 minutes or until brown. Turn circles over. Bake 1 to 2 minutes more or until brown and slightly puffed. Brush with butter and sprinkle with kosher salt. Serve with Moqueca de Camarao. Makes 6 servings.
Tip: You will get the best browning in a very hot oven, such as a pizza oven. Or, if you have two wall ovens, have one heating while you use the other.

Cheesecake with Blackberry Sauce and Toasted Granola
Call this cheesecake bicoastal. Similar to a New York-style cheesecake but without the lemon, this version gets a hit of Southern California with chunky fresh blackberry sauce and a sprinkle of granola.
The finished cake may crack across the top; don't despair. You'll cover it with delicious sauce.
Prep: 25 minutes
Bake: 25 minutes at 350°F/90 minutes at 250°F
Cool: 1 hour
Chill: 6 hours to 8 hours
- Nonstick cooking spray
- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 1-3/4 cups sugar, divided
- 3 tablespoons butter, melted
- 5 (8-ounce) packages cream cheese (2-1/2 pounds), softened
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 5 whole eggs
- 2 egg yolks
- 3/4 cup sour cream
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla

Preheat oven to 350°F. Coat 10-inch springform pan with nonstick spray; set aside. In medium bowl combine graham cracker crumbs, 1/4 cup sugar, and butter. Stir to combine. Spread graham cracker mixture on bottom of prepared pan. Press down to make an even layer.
Bake crust 8 to 10 minutes or until golden brown. Cool completely on wire rack.
In stand mixer fitted with paddle attachment or very large mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, 1-1/2 cups sugar, and flour. Beat on medium speed until mixture is light and fluffy. Add whole eggs, one at a time, until all are incorporated. Add egg yolks. Add sour cream and vanilla; mix to combine.
Pour batter into pan. Place springform pan on foil-lined baking sheet. Bake 15 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 250°F. Bake 90 minutes more or until firm on edges but slightly loose in middle if jiggled.
Cool cheesecake on wire rack 1 hour. Cover; chill in refrigerator 6 to 8 hours before serving.
Serve topped with Blackberry Sauce and granola. Makes 12 servings.
For Blackberry Sauce, in medium saucepan combine 2 cups fresh blackberries, 1/2 cup water, and 1/4 cup sugar. Bring to boil, stirring to dissolve sugar. Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. In small bowl combine 1 tablespoon water and 1 tablespoon cornstarch. Add cornstarch mixture to blackberry mixture. Cook and stir until thickened and bubbly. Cook and stir 2 minutes more. Cool and serve. Makes 1-1/3 cups.

Cachaça is the distilled spirit of fermented sugar cane juice. It is the most popular alcoholic beverage produced and consumed in Brazil, where production was started by Portuguese settlers in the early 16th century. Although it is the basis of many tropical cocktails, most people know it as the base for the popular Brazilian cocktail, the caipirinha.
Cachaça has two varieties, unaged (branca, or white) and aged (amarela, yellow). Amarela is barrel-aged—hence its golden color—and meant for drinking neat. The white variety is the one to choose for making cocktails. Cachaça is available in most better liquor stores or can be special-ordered.
While the spirit might be considered a one-trick pony on U.S. shores, used only for caipirinhas, in Brazil it shows up in several varieties.
Try a Rabo-de-Galo, a mixture of 2/3 cachaça and 1/3 red vermouth, served straight up.
A Batida is a combination of cachaça; lemon juice, passion fruit juice or coconut milk; and sugar. It is shaken over ice or blended.
Leite de Onça is an elegant cold drink served in a chilled mug and sprinkled with cinnamon or shaved chocolate. To prepare, chill the ingredients: cachaça, cocoa liqueur, milk, and condensed milk. Combine equal amounts, about 1-1/2 ounces each, in a blender, and serve. The cocktail also has a delightfully quirky name: Jaguar Milk.

A family member gave me a copy of Automate This by Christopher Steiner as a gift a few months ago. The subtitle of the book is "How algorithms came to rule our world." The book is a non-technical, fast, and easy read. I did read a few interesting stories, such as NASA's use of personality categorization algorithms in the 70s to predict which potential astronauts would work well together, or a math professor's algorithmic dissection of Beatles songs. The book particularly emphasizes algorithmic trading on Wall Street. The somewhat non sequitur conclusion is that we need more science, engineering, and math graduates.
The main point of the book is that algorithms are pervasive and will become more so. Toward this point, I think the author could have cast an even wider net, mentioning that algorithms are implemented in everything from elevator controllers to autopilots. There is a cursory pre-computing history of algorithms at the beginning of the book that is (tenuously) tied to a Wall Street trading.
Rather than focus on algorithms broadly, the focus is patchy, hitting on machine learning, high-speed trading, and game theory. Some mention of algorithms as might be taught in a "Analysis of Algorithms" course, covering basic topics like time-space complexity and decidability, would help prevent the general public from having a narrow-minded interpretation of algorithms. Computer scientists invent, analyze, and implement algorithms every day, but much of that work is perhaps not sexy enough for a popular science book.
Incidentally, for the topics Steiner does cover, an excellent companion treating similar topics, but with a different focus, is Nate Silver's (of 538 fame) book, The Signal and the Noise.

Mysteries of Largest U.S. Art Heist Solved?
The FBI said Monday that it had "significant investigative progress" in the hunt for rare paintings and other artworks that were stolen from Boston's Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in 1990, one of the largest art heists in U.S. history. Ashby Jones reports. Photo: AP.

Babesiosis is an infection that damages the red blood cells. Red blood cells travel in the blood and carry oxygen throughout the body. Damage to a large number of these cells can decrease the level of oxygen in the blood.
Mild babesiosis may not cause symptoms. Severe illness can lead to serious and life threatening problems because of the destruction of red blood cells.
Babesiosis is caused by a Babesia parasite. It is most often passed to humans through a bite from an infected tick.
Rarely, the parasite can be passed through a blood transfusion from an infected donor.
|A Tick
Risk Factors
Spending time in an area where ticks are common increases your risk of infection. This includes outdoor areas with high grass or bushes. Not all tick bites will lead to infections.
The risk of a severe infection is increased in certain people including:
- Elderly
- People with weak immune systems, such as those with HIV or cancer
- People with liver disease
- People with kidney disease
- People who have had a spleen removal or have a spleen that does not work properly
Common geographic locations include:
- North America—Northeast, upper Midwest, northern areas along the Pacific coast
- Europe—British Isles and other locations across continental Europe
- Parts of Asia, Africa, and South America
The risk of tick bites is highest from May to October.
Many people will have no symptoms. Symptoms that do develop may not show up until a few days or weeks after the bite. They are often flu-like symptoms such as:
- Fever
- Chills
- Sweating
- Muscle and joint aches
- Nausea and loss of appetite
- Headaches
- Fatigue
A severe infection can cause difficulty breathing. It can also lead to complications with the heart, liver, or kidney.
You will be asked about your symptoms and medical history. You may be asked if you have spent time in areas known for ticks. A physical exam will be done.
The ticks that spread this infection tend to be very small. You may not have known you were bitten.
A blood test can confirm the presence of the infection and any other infection that may have been passed from the tick such as Lyme disease , ehrlichiosis , or anaplasmosis. Blood tests may also be done to look for damage to other organs such as the kidneys or liver.
Infections without symptoms usually do not require treatment. The immune system is able to clear the parasite.
An infection that causes symptoms may be treated with a combination of antibiotic and antiparasitic medications.
Severe infections can lead to very low levels of red blood cells. This is a condition known as hemolytic anemia . This may require a hospital stay, blood transfusions , and other supportive care until the infection can be cleared.
With this infection, it may be some time before the parasite is completely cleared.
Do not donate blood until the doctor has said it is okay to do so. If blood was donated before a diagnosis, let the doctor know.
Avoiding tick bites is the best way to avoid babesiosis. Learn when ticks are most active in your area. Avoid tall grass, woods, and brush during these times. If you are in these areas:
- Wear light colored clothing to make ticks easier to see.
- Wear long pants and socks. Consider tucking your pants into your socks so the ticks have a harder time getting to your skin.
- Use a bug repellant that contains DEET. Use as directed on the container.
After being outdoors:
- Check yourself and your pets thoroughly for ticks.
- If a tick is attached to the skin, remove it as soon as possible. Grab the tick close to your skin and pull out with steady pressure. Wash the area where the tick was attached with soap and water.
It may take at least 24 hours for the parasite to pass through the bite. Not all tick bites will cause an infection. If you were bitten by a tick, watch the area over the next few days. Call your doctor if you develop a rash or other symptoms.

Make This Easy Accessories with BUTTONS!
Make This Easy Accessories with BUTTONS!
A little back ground info on this button bracelet tutorial
if you want to skip my "intro" and get on with the tutorial skip down to Step 1
I have always loved everything about buttons. I find each and every one to be very special. Every button has a unique tale to tell. Like the one I have from Grandpas WWII Navy Peacoat, if it could talk... I remember the day my Grandma gave it to me. Or how about the one I have from my High School cheerleading uniform, I had some good times in that button. New buttons are just as special, like the start of a new book. Their story is yet to unfold but is sure to be an amazing one.
What will I be making with the buttons I got with my gift certificate?
Well one of my favorite things to make is accessories! So I am going to show you how to make multiple types of accessories with... you guessed it, buttons! When I saw the button selection the first thing that came to mind was a charm bracelet. They are so easy to make, and look absolutely stunning when finished. So let's get going with the first tutorial!
|This bracelet will look a little different from every angle because of how the buttons lay.
Step 1 Gather The Materials For this project you need
|(and your jewelry pliers)
I recommend using buttons with a "shank" backing. They are easy to use and give a finished look.
2. Jump Rings
* A good option is to get a pack with multiple size jump rings.This helps since the button shanks are all different sizes.
*oval jump rings will help the buttons lay flat, but are not necessary.
*oval jump rings will help the buttons lay flat, but are not necessary.
3. Chain with Clasp
*The "charm bracelet chain" like the one in my inspiration photo is a good option.
* Different chains will produce a diffident look. Bigger chain works best with bigger buttons, while the smaller chains work best with the smaller buttons.
4. Jewelry Pliers
*tip Using two pairs helps attach the jump rings in an easier way.
|My button "rough draft"
|Place your buttons along the length of your chain. This helps you visualize what order you want to attach the buttons to the chain. Keep in mind that once you do attach the buttons they will hang a bit differently, do to the movement provided by the jump rings.Think of this step as a "rough draft" .
Don't spend a lot of your time on this step, because no matter how you attach the buttons they will look amazing. That is the beauty of this project it looks great no matter what, you can't mess it up
Step 3 Attach Buttons Now this project will come to life!
Attach the buttons to your chain with the jump rings. Sometimes after adding a few buttons, you might want to move one and try it in a new spot. This technique works well to produce the perfect look. *Tip If you do move a button, remember that jump rings will start to loose their integrity the more times they are opened and closed. So when you find the perfect location for your button make sure to use a new jump ring.
Then some how it looks just as amazing form this angle!
What I love most about this, its how good it looks and how easy it is to make!
Guess what?
That is it, you are done with this fun accessory!
|The left side
That is all it takes to make this gorgeous Button Charm bracelet!
Just look how beautiful it looks from this angle!
|The right side
Then some how it looks just as amazing form this angle!
What I love most about this, its how good it looks and how easy it is to make!
Oh I almost for got... One last step
Try it on and admire your amazing work
Thank you for looking at my tutorial today. I hope you will give this bracelet a try. If you do Please show me how yours turns out! I would love to add your photo to my blog.
It was fun and easy to make and I think you will agree that it is a stunning piece to have in your collection ENJOY!

Former "View" panelist Star Jones had heart surgery earlier this week, a rep for the television personality revealed in a statement to Access Hollywood.
"On Wednesday, March 17th, a pre-planned cardiac surgery was performed on Star Jones," the statement from the rep read.
The surgery was related to another surgery Star had three decades ago.
"This recent surgery is a follow-up to the thoracic surgery she had 30 years ago," the rep's statement continued. "The procedure was successful and she is recovering well with her family. Star is grateful for everyone's thoughts and prayers."
Star, who had gastric bypass surgery in 2003, has been Tweeting about focusing on her faith in recent days, but hasn't posted any new messages since earlier this week.
"Be blessed y'all. Remember your greatest weapon is PRAYER because it is the key to heaven; but FAITH unlocks the door!" she wrote on what appears to be here official Twitter page, later adding, "It's clear that God is trying to tell me something…& I plan to listen. My birthday is in 10 days…so I'm giving myself a special gift…"
Star's 48th birthday is on March 24.

These vacuum pumps work in accordance to the proven rotary vane technology. Thanks to self-lubricating rotor vanes, no operating fluid is necessary. The compression occurs as part of a completely dry process. A consistently high vacuum level in continuous operation is guaranteed through perfectly coordinated materials, the special graphite vanes in the compression chamber, effective heat discharge and the state-of-the-art and precise manufacturing.
An optional non-return valve prevents air from going back into the vacuum chamber when the vacuum pump is switched off. The unit is driven by an integrated motor which has a high level of efficiency.
The compressor version works almost pulsation-free and completely oil-free. A powerful cooling fan guarantees good heat removal from the motor and the pump.

Today's post is from Morris Proctor, certified and authorized trainer for Logos Bible Software. Morris has trained thousands of Logos users at his two-day Camp Logos seminars and provides many training materials.
We of course have our favorite Bible as we read and study the Scripture: ESV, NASB, KJV, etc. It's always a good idea, however, to read a passage in multiple versions. If we're reading in the ESV, seeing how the NKJV translates the same passage may help us understand the text a little better. Here's a very quick way to see other Bibles as you read in your preferred Bible:
- Open a Bible to a passage like the Christmas story in Luke 2:1
- Press the F7 key on the keyboard (if you're a Mac user you'll probably also need to hold down the fn key)
What appears on the screen is a preview of Text Comparison which is located on the Tools menu. This popup preview, using the prioritized Bibles as set in the Library, displays as many Bibles as you have room for on the screen!
If you'd like to see a range of verses in the preview, simply type that range in the reference box of the Bible. For example type Luke 2:1-10 in the box and then press F7 (Mac user don't forget the fn key) and watch what happens!
What is your favorite Bible translation? Leave a comment and let us know!

The prod is actually not that painful | The feeling of helplessness was unbearable | She was already broken | She would do anything he asked, if only he would stop this pain | You're going to pray for death so many times over the coming weeks | The noise she made was not recognisable as human | He shocked her again | The electricity coursed through her clitoris | She tried to beg and plead again | Sophie was sobbing in despair | Nipples rock hard as she gasped | She could feel something running down the inside of her thighs | She slumped in her bonds | And there will be nothing you can do to stop it | She tried to pull away but it was useless | Every muscle in her body tensed | Now it's my turn | Snot poring from her nose | Her shoulders were shaking as she cried | The sudden pain making her groan | Was obviously in terrible pain and was crying constantly | Open your legs wider | This is the ultimate remedy for a whining slave | Her whole body jerked under the searing pain | The gag consisted of a broad leather mouth cover with an adjustable strap | Keep your mouth open, bitch | Pain was the only thing she could concentrate on now | She was starting to feel dizzy with the pain but concentrated on keeping conscious | Made her moan almost as loud | She let out a despairing groan of pain and humiliation | Now she was completely helpless | She whimpered hopelessly | The destruction of her spirit was complete | Her eyes rolling back in her head | Show us how good a slave you can be | Stop hurting me, please | No, don't, don't touch me you bastards | Now able only to wriggle her hands and move her head | The screams and babbling cries rose and fell | A single stifled cry escaped from between her clenched teeth | She slumped down, unconscious

COOKEVILLE, Tenn. -- The Tennessee Tech softball team escapes the cold front in Tennessee to play in its final tournament of the season. The Golden Eagles head to the sunshine state to play in the University of South Florida Under Armour Showcase.
Tech (7-7) will play among 25 teams, the largest tournament on the Golden Eagles schedule, but only face five different squads over the course of three days. The Purple and Gold open play against Maine Friday at 12:30 CT, before taking on Fordham at 3:45. In the first half of Saturday's twin bill, Tech will take on Long Island University Brooklyn at 3:45 and face Temple in their only night game of the weekend at 6 p.m. The Golden Eagles close out play against Providence at 8 a.m. on Sunday.
Three of Tech's four games were cancelled last weekend at the Purple and Gold challenge. In the Golden Eagles only game, Tech fell to IPFW in five innings 8-0. Melody Christian and Kendall Hooper were the lone Golden Eagles to reach base on hits, both singles. Christian leads Tech with nine runs scored, a .429 slugging percentage, seven RBI and eight stolen bases.
Freshman Madison Taylor holds top spot with a .394 batting average and an on base percentage of .512. Defensively, Channelle Spalding leads the Golden Eagles with 85 putouts, and just two errors, but freshman Courtney Fry has made an immediate impact in the dirt delivering a 1.000 fielding percentage with 31 putouts.
In the circle, the Golden Eagles continue to look to Taylor Ketchum despite an old injury flaring up. Ketchum has pitched 43 innings and recorded five wins across nine games and a 1.14 ERA. Senior Claudia Harke (2-3) and Erica Tuck (0-2) has split the remaining time pitching 21.2 and 20.2 innings respectively.
All-Time Series
Tech vs.
Maine: 1-2, The Black Bears hold the edge in the series, but Tech took the pairs last meeting 5-3 in February of 2009.
Fordham: 0-0, This will be the first meeting between Fordham and Tennessee Tech.
LIU Brooklyn: 1-0, Tech has only faced Long Island Univeristy one time, and came away with a 3-2 victory in 1999.
Temple: 1-3, The Owls and the Golden Eagles have battled few times, with Temple holding a slight edge. Tech's only win, 4-3, came in March of 2000 at the Speedline Classic in Tampla, Fla. The two teams first paired off in 1998, and most recently faced off in 2004.
Providence: 2-0, One of Tech's few remaining undefeated series, the Golden Eagles first met Friars in 1990 but recently defeated Providence College 2-1 at the Charleston Southern Invitational in 2005.
Quick Hits
- Tech is 7-7 overall after going 0-1 last weekend at the Purple and Gold Challenge.
- As a team, Tech is hitting .259, posting 47 runs scored, 39 rbi and a .332 on-base percentage through 14 games.
- The Golden Eagle pitching staff combines for a 3.78 ERA, allowing 48 earned runs in 89.0 innings pitched.
- Four players have scored 4+ runs for the Golden Eagles, including senior Melody Christian, with a team high nine runs and is the teams stolen bases leader.
- Christian is second in the OVC with 8 stolen bases on 10 attempts.
- Freshman Madison Taylor has a .406 batting average, collecting a multiple career-firsts during the opening weekend, including her three hits, four putouts, and 2 rbi.
- Taylor's batting .406 clip ranks fourth in the OVC through the first 13 games.
- Three Golden Eagles have recorded triples, including newcomer Chelsea Burgess.
- Ketchum was named adidas® Ohio Valley Conference Pitcher of the Week. Ketchum gave up just two hits in 10 innings of work.
- Tech posted a 2-2 record at the KSU Classic. The Golden Eagles opened the tournament sweeping its first two games with wins over Liberty (8 innings) and Mercer.
- The Golden Eagles finished the Eagle Round Robin hosted by Georgia Southern with a 2-2 record. The weekend was highlighted by a 3-1 victory over Akron as sophomore Taylor Ketchum threw a one-hitter Feb. 10.
- First year head coach Bonnie Bynum picked up her first win at Tennessee Tech after the team downed St. John's, 4-3. The Golden Eagles defeated St. John's thanks to a walk-off single by senior Chanelle Spalding, marking the first win against the Red Storm in program history and the first road victory of the 2013 season.

Pond & Lake Q & A
Q: I'm thinking of stocking my farm pond with fish. What's the best ratio of predator to prey fish to keep the population growth steady? – Hoyt in Florida
A: When stocking your farm pond with fish, it's always a good idea to keep in mind the ratio of predator to prey fish. If you're an angler, you want those trophy fish to grow healthy and strong, and the only way to do that is to provide prey fish, like perch, hybrid bluegill or sunfish, for food.
The rule of thumb that we recommend is 3 prey fish to every 1 predator fish. So for instance, if you toss in 10 large-mouth bass or walleye, you'll want to include at least 30 perch or bluegill to keep the predator fish healthy and their bellies full. When you first stock your farm pond, however, we recommend you add some fathead minnows to feed the predator fish while the prey fish get established. You may also want to feed the fish with a pellet food, like The Pond Guy® Game Fish Grower Fish Food and use an automated feeder to make feeding easy.
To keep the population of both predator and prey fish healthy, make sure your water is well aerated, too. If you don't already have an air diffuser or aeration system set up in your pond, now is a good time to add one. When you introduce new fish to a pond or lake, they'll be adding waste – something that can cause an algae bloom or pH shift and possible a fish kill. An aeration system will decrease toxic gases, increase the amount of dissolved oxygen in the water, and prevent harmful stratification from occurring.
Once your population is established, you can enjoy the many reasons why you wanted to stock your pond in the first place – like fishing! A pond stocked with bass and walleye also keeps the frog and leech populations under control, too.

Why engage with the public?
Because it is good for you, and it is good for the public.
In line with UCL's Public Engagement Policy, MAPS faculty is committed to encouraging all members of the faculty, from undergraduates to professors, to participate in outreach and engagement activities.
Public engagement in all its forms is considered in cases for promotion alongside enabling, research, and teaching. The value of public engagement is increasingly recognised by funding bodies and in the structures of British science, including the REF – continued public funding of research is dependent on the public having a degree of ownership of the fruits of research.
In the same way as research and teaching are mutually reinforcing activities, so public engagement should be integral to the activities of UCL members.
The following pages give practical information on how and why UCL staff and students should communicate their research:

Children between one and three years of age have loads of energy and want to try lots of new things. But their behaviour can be difficult to manage. Very big changes are happening for them, and if you understand these changes you can often work around them so there are fewer problems.
Doing what comes naturally!This is a time when toddlers become more independent. They are now little people with their own way of doing things. They find out that they can make things happen. They touch, explore, run away. They like doing things their way and doing things for themselves. They say "No", "I won't", "Give me" and "Me do".
"She seems to be doing it deliberately"To many parents it seems as if their toddler sometimes thinks "Now what can I do to upset mum or dad?" But it is more that they are very self centred - they think of things only from their own point of view. They are usually not aware of what their parents are feeling or wanting.
They sometimes know what they should or should not do, but don't have enough self control to stop themselves from doing it. It can seem as if they believe "If it feels good do it... and again and again". At other times they can get so out of control that they keep on and on doing something even if it is upsetting for them.
You can't reason with a toddler or explain why they should not do something. They can hear the words, but they do not understand them (even if they can repeat them).
There will be problems when you live with a toddler. They want to be independent but they don't have self control.
Child proof the environmentPut away valuables and dangerous objects. But make sure your toddler still has interesting things to do.
Don't just say "No" - divert and distractIf they are doing something that you want them to stop, don't just say "no". Help them to do something different. Say "Look at this". Use games - "I'll race you to the bath", "let's hop like kangaroos to the table". A bath, music or story can help when children are tired.
Prepare for changesWhen changes are happening toddlers feel stressed and they need extra attention, love and security. Big changes such as moving house or a new baby can be very hard, but even little changes, such as leaving the playground can upset them a lot. Allow them their cuddly toys, dummies etc. If possible prepare them in advance for change a little at a time. Tell or show them what the change may mean.
When you have to leave themToddlers often cry or scream when left with someone else because they are frightened of being separated from their parents. When leaving children say goodbye and reassure them that you will come back. See 'Separation anxiety' for more ideas.
Tantrums are usually of two general types:
Two ways of handling a tantrum are:
Toddlers can be scared by their tantrums. They need to know that an adult is there in control who will accept and love them when it is over. Have a look at the topic Time in: guiding children's behaviour for more about this.
Children are more likely to have tantrums when they are bored, tired, hungry, unwell or overwhelmed by events. See 'Tantrums' for more information.
Some anger is normal and healthy. But some children are often angry; they hit, bite, kick or punch for no obvious reason. They need extra help.
Smacking and yelling often make children fearful or angry and can keep the behaviour going.
There is more in our topic on Anger - helping your child to manage it.
All toddlers cling and grizzle to some extent.
A toddler who is clinging, whining and very demanding may be showing a need for more attention and security.
Let children know that they can ask you for a cuddle when they want one. Try not to push them away.
When they are playing by themselves make sure that you notice and give a hug or some attention. With reassurance of love and security they are more likely to play alone for longer periods of time.
If children whinge you can ignore it or ask them to say it again with a smile.
The Raising Children Network has information for parents about how to manage anger that they are feeling. The Raising Children Network is funded by the Australian Government. http://raisingchildren.net.au
Think about:
Remember - when children behave worst it is usually because they need more affection - and what they usually get is less affection.
If your toddler's behaviour is becoming very difficult for you to manage and/or if you are worried, it is important to get some professional help. Getting things on the right track when children are young is much easier than trying to solve problems later on. In South Australia you could call the Parent Helpline 1300 364 100
The topic Time in: guiding children's behaviour may be helpful.
Being a parent of a toddler takes lots of time and energy. Make sure you have some time for yourself to do something you enjoy. For this you may have to leave your toddler with someone else for a while. We all need to recharge our batteries regularly - it helps us keep going.
There are many books about toddler behaviour but some of them suggest things which are unkind for toddlers. Have a look in your local library and bookshops to see if you can find something that fits for you.
There are several other topics on this site about toddlers, such as
The Raising Children Network - an Australian Government parenting website - also has a lot of articles and information about toddlers and parenting toddlers http://raisingchildren.net.au/toddlers/toddlers.html
The information on this site should not be used as an alternative to professional care. If you have a particular problem, see a doctor, or ring the Parent Helpline on 1300 364 100 (local call cost from anywhere in South Australia).
This topic may use 'he' and 'she' in turn - please change to suit your child's sex.

Aranjuez gardens
Royal Palace in Aranjuez
Prince's Garden
Church of San Antonio, Aranjuez
- 自治区: Madrid Region
- 省 / 岛: Madrid
An old quarter which is a Historic-Artistic Site, royal palaces, and gardens on the banks of the Tagus form the layout of Aranjuez. The ideas of the Enlightenment, adapted to the urban development of cities, are embodied here in a balance between nature and man, the watercourses and the design of the gardens, between the woods and the palace architecture. This is why it was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 2001. The Strawberry Train and the festival to commemorate the Revolt of Aranjuez, of National Tourist Interest, are some of the cultural musts awaiting the visitor to this town in the Madrid region.
The fertile plain of Aranjuez, between the Tagus and Jarama rivers, has been populated since distant times. The current layout dates back to the reign of Felipe II (16th century), who awarded this town the title of Royal Site. Felipe V (17th-18th centuries and Carlos III (18th century) transformed Aranjuez into a centre of the court where the palace architecture goes hand in hand with woods and gardens, all in line with the aesthetic taste of the Enlightenment. The networked layout of the streets of its historic quarter is a product of this rationalist thought.One of the jewels of this town near Madrid, and the origin of its splendour, is its Royal Palace. The current appearance is the result of reconstructions and additions which began with the work of Juan Bautista de Toledo, architect to Felipe II. Over the course of time, other maestros also had a hand in the construction at the service of the Spanish kings, such as Juan de Herrera (designer of the monastery of El Escorial) and Francisco Sabatini (architect to Carlos III, who was responsible for numerous buildings in Madrid). Inside, there are abundant baroque pieces like those we can see in the clock, porcelain and painting rooms (Lucas Jordán, Vicente López or Esquivel...).Gardens of AranjuezAnother characteristic element of Aranjuez is its gardens. Opposite the east façade of the palace is the Flower-bed Garden, English in style, where the fountain sculptures are outstanding. A further two gardens begin near the buildings. Island Garden, so-called because it stretches between the course of the Tagus and the Ría, is another of the places worth strolling through. More wooded is the Prince's Garden, in a French Gothic style. The course of the river, fountains and squares take you to the Casa del Labrador. It is another small palace in the style of the pavilions of Versailles (París), which houses interesting exhibitions of painting. The rest of the town also displays the same values, reflected in the layout of its streets, in the purest baroque style. Uniform buildings, tree-lined streets and spacious avenues are some of its features. A layout which makes it easy to visit other major sites, such as the Mariblanca Fountain, the Royal Theatre, the Servants' and Guest Quarters and Stables or the Food Market. There are also other palaces, such as Osuna, Medinaceli or Godoy. Among the religious architecture, fine examples are the Convent of San Pascual (work of Sabatini with paintings by Megs and Tiépolo), and the churches of Alpajés (a brick construction with a baroque portico) and San Antonio (with its great dome and lonic columns). Aranjuez train station, in a peculiar neomudjar style, is another of the city's monuments. Its tracks go back in time when, between May and September, the Strawberry Train enters into operation.. An old steam engine pulls the carriages on their journey. In addition, we can also visit the Royal Farmhouse of San Isidro, a series of small palaces and gardens.Aranjuez, a city of the court for centuries, conserves many buildings related to leisure. Its bullring houses the Museum "Aranjuez: a festival", where the visitor can get a taste of the bullfighting world and the history of leisure in the city. Meanwhile, the former Queen Mother's Coach Houses now form the Isabel de Farnesio Arts Centre, a site of exhibitions, conferences and concerts.A good time to visit the city is during the celebration of the Festival of the Revolt, declared to be of National Tourist Interest. It is possible to see representations of the storming of the Palace of Godoy and of the Revolt, bull running, bullfights, the descent of the Tagus and musical performances. Both the Tagus and its Canoeing Club and School and the Legarmarejo racecourse, as well as other riding schools, are other leisure possibilities on offer in this area.GastronomyThe fertile fields which surround Aranjuez supply the local cuisine with artichokes, Brussel sprouts, broad beans, asparagus... prepared according to many different recipes. Hunting, so traditional in these woods, offers us excellent specimens of pheasant, partridge and quail. Strawberries are another of its specialities. The province of Madrid offers us different routes so you can get to know every corner. In the capital, Habsburg and Bourbon Madrid, the Prado, Thyssen and Reina Sofía museums, the traditional neighbourhoods of Lavapies or Chamberí and the designer boutiques of the Salamanca district are just some of its attractions. Other jewels of Madrid, which are also World Heritage Sites, are the city of Alcalá de Henares and the Monastery of El Escorial. In Alcalá, we can visit the famous Complutense University, the Birthplace and House of Miguel de Cervantes (author of "Don Quixote") and a great many palaces and religious convents. El Escorial, which Felipe II ordered to be built in the Guadarrama mountain range, is one of the biggest monuments in the Madrid region, the work of Juan de Herrera. The castle of Manzanares el Real and the Plaza Mayor in Chinchón are other attractions of the region's towns.

(Adds details on shutdown at Ameridose, Alaunus)
By Tim McLaughlin
BOSTON, Oct 10 (Reuters) - Two Boston-area pharmacy companies that share common ownership with the company at the center of a deadly U.S. meningitis outbreak plan to cease operations temporarily as a precautionary move, Massachusetts health officials said on Wednesday.
Ameridose LLC, a private company that mixes drugs for hospitals nationwide, is expected to shut down for a week. Alaunus Pharmaceutical also will temporarily cease distribution of all products made by Ameridose or any other company under shared ownership.
State regulators said at a press conference they have no evidence to suggest that Ameridose products have been compromised and a recall has not been requested. Healthcare providers may continue to use any medications they have in stock.
Massachusetts regulators, meanwhile, are requiring all state compounding pharmacies to sign a statement that they are following rules on altering medications.
Ameridose, based in Westborough, Massachusetts, is working to distance itself from New England Compounding Center, which distributed thousands of vials of a contaminated steroid that has been implicated in 12 deaths.
All three companies - Alaunus, Ameridose and NECC - are owned by Gregory Conigliaro, an engineer who invented a way to turn plastic into pothole filler, and his brother-in-law, Barry Cadden, a pharmacist in charge of pharmacy operations at the New England Compounding Center, according to records filed with Massachusetts authorities.

Wireless security crucial to railway safety
A transportation firm uses wireless technology to keep the trains running on time. But securing mobile devices isn't easy when they're spread across the globe.
Union Switch & Signal field workers can't just come and go as they please when there's a job to do on the railways. Homeland security rules mandate where they can park and when they can enter and leave a site. Under those restrictions, workers were forced to make a diagnosis and then return to a hotel to research options, order software or set up engineering tests before returning to the railroad. But because of wireless technology, that's no longer such a time-consuming issue. It is, however, now a security one.
"Out in the field and on the railways -- where we install and service our signaling, automation and control technology -- there's a lot of testing and documenting that goes into it," said Ted Davidson, IT manager of the Pittsburgh, Pa.-based company, which has over 1,000 employees, 1,100 workstations, 45 servers for Windows and 70 servers for Linux. "Given the homeland security procedures, it's better to have a portable device where you can go on the Internet and do all these things without having to leave the site."
And on the factory floor, it's much easier and less hazardous when engineers and technicians can test equipment and trade notes without a bunch of wires in the way. Plus, Davidson said, "It's more convenient for testers to take laptops into the lab to do reports instead of documenting their findings on paper and then returning to workstations to type it all in."
But with all that convenience comes a host of security issues for Davidson's department to manage. Workers are using wireless devices all over the world, often latching onto a third party's Wi-Fi connection where the security may or may not be sufficient. The department must keep track of these devices and make sure they're all fitted with the latest patches and that the antivirus and firewall programs are up to date. It must also make sure users accessing the network remotely have a connection that's safe from hackers.
"Since people want the ability to connect at hotels and airports, we wanted to make sure that we had the latest antivirus and antispyware systems on all the laptops," he said. "We always worry about what's happening in someone else's wireless field."
Security needs are identified
The first order of business for Davidson's department was to find a way to keep the war drivers, evil twins and data hackers from hijacking the company's wireless signal.
"The biggest issue has been non-employees picking up on our access points," he said. "It hasn't happened, but that was our big worry and we spent a lot of time talking about how to limit the bleeding of signal outside the building."
The company's solution was to use an IPsec-based virtual private network (VPN) from Cisco and not broadcast its Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) key.
"When you buy a wireless device for your home there's a default WEP key," Davidson said. "The wireless device broadcasts the key so the wireless card knows how to communicate with the wireless access point. We don't allow that. We supply our own specialized keys to keep out the war drivers. All traffic from the access point is rerouted to our VPN server, so the only thing the access point talks to is the VPN server."
Davidson also had to figure out the best patch management method. Though it could be done, he said patches are not deployed over the wireless connection. Instead, security updates are installed as people bring their devices back to the office. "Most people reside in Pittsburgh or South Carolina, so we're able to have them come in for regular patch and antivirus updates," he said. "When they come in the office and log in they get any updates they may have missed" while in the field.
Policy enforcement and two-factor authentication
To help it meet most of the wireless security and functionality challenges, Union Switch & Signal turned to Blue Bell, Penn.-based Fiberlink. Using its Extend360 client, Davidson said workers can use Microsoft Outlook out in the field, instead of filling out paperwork to order a piece of software, a log test or an analysis, then having to go back to the hotel to finish the job.
An important security feature is that the Fiberlink client gives Davidson and his team the ability to enforce its policies. "You can instruct the client not to transmit data if it doesn't see an active firewall or VPN connection," he said.
Davidson's team also relies on strong authentication procedures to ensure security. "We use one-time password tokens and two-factor authentication from [San Jose, Calif.-based] Secure Computing," he said. "Basically, you push the button and it gives you a password that's good only once. This eliminates the ability for someone to log back in if their credentials are compromised. A password generated by a token is synchronized with the server and you can't get VPN access without the token."
Davidson said the system is not used in place of the Windows XP log-in process. It's used to add an extra layer of protection when people need remote access to the network. Here's how the system works:
- Each person requiring remote access is issued a token. The token works by replacing their standard remote password with the combination of the token password plus a PIN. "The two factors -- something you have being a token and something you know being a PIN -- provide for secure logins," Davidson said.
- The employee selects the mobile data button on the Fiberlink client and enters their remote access username. For the password, they push the button on the token. "It may display, for example, '3867A1,' which is entered in combination with a PIN in the password field," Davidson said.
- The Fiberlink client connects to the wireless network and passes the credentials through to the Secure Computing SafeWord server for authentication. After a successful connection, Fiberlink launches the Cisco VPN client. The same basic process is repeated.
- Once a password is used it becomes invalid.
Not for everyone
Despite the benefits Davidson lists for using wireless technology, only 5% of the traffic on his network is wireless right now. But he expects that to increase.
"A few months ago wireless wasn't a default option on our laptops. Now it is," he said. "More people have asked for it. My department's mission is to provide continuous global access to information, so we look at whatever new technology is required as part of that. Right now, wireless is one of those technologies and I see our use of it increasing in the next year or so."
That doesn't mean he envisions the day where Union Switch & Signal is 100% wireless.
"We don't see it as the solution for everybody," he said. "Airspace is shared and when many try to use the same access point you run into bottlenecks that can complicate the design."
For now, at least, he believes vendors like Fiberlink and Secure Computing are helping his department strike a balance between security and functionality for those who are using wireless.

The Ghailani Verdict
You've probably heard that a jury found Al Qaeda bomber Ahmed Ghailani guilty on only one out of 286 charges associated with the 1998 embassy bombings in Kenya and Tanzania.
A predictable debate followed. Glenn Greenwald cited the outcome as proof that the system works, while Liz Cheney, Debra Burlingame and Bill Kristol described the trial as a reckless experiment. Thomas Joscelyn called the trial a miscarriage of justice.
The most insightful commentary I've seen is over at Lawfare. Benjamin Wittes and Robert Chesney summed things up pretty well: "Trial in federal court didn't work out the way the Obama administration wanted, but it wasn't a disaster – and we can't honestly say it worked out worse than the military commission alternative would likely have done."
I've disagreed with Wittes on lawfare issues before, but he and Chesney are right on this case: (1) the defendant will serve a minimum of twenty years in jail, possibly life; (2) it's not certain that the military commissions would have allowed evidence obtained by coercion (Charlie Savage also made this point in his article for the New York Times), (3) the conspiracy conviction in civilian court is solid on appeal, but not necessarily so in a military commission (conspiracy is not a traditional law of war violation, and three sitting Supreme Court justices have questioned its application in that forum); (4) the forum of conviction is less ripe for attack in courts of law and public opinion.
That's a good outcome.

12 HASKINS & SELLS February
The balance sheet caption appeared:
Further Changes
Growth and progress have, during the
past month, necessitated two important
changes in the personnel of the Executive
offices. Mr. Bell has become associated
with Mr. Vaughan in the General Report
Department; Mr. Gause with Mr. Wild-man
in the Department for Professional
The necessity for instruction in the matter
of reports together with the promotion
of uniformity in preparing and rendering
them, somewhat accentuated by the opening
of new offices, made it imperative that
Mr. Vaughan should have assistance in
carrying out effectively the work of the
General Report Department.
No successor to Mr. Gause as, district
partner with headquarters at Chicago has
yet been appointed.
We are pleased to note the election of
Mr. F. H . Sanford, manager of our Pittsburgh
office, as a member of the Council
of the Pittsburgh Institute of Accountants.

Kajal is an inseparable part of woman. I have been using Kajal from the days when I was a primary school girl. With just Kajal around your water line and no make up makes you look very attractive. There have been so many brands that provide variety of kohl and Kajal for beautifying the eyes. No matter how many brands I have bought, I keep returning to my home made castor oil Kajal dibba. No kohl can really match this dibba of mine.
One major thing is, there need not be any fear of allergic reaction that can cause on using your own home made kajal. Another point is, no expiry date for the home made Kajal. And above all you know what you have used and what you have done to obtain the Kajal.
A very easy procedure. You will need some castor oil, a diya to burn the oil, a match box, a plate (preferably brass, or any thick plat of your choice for the carbon to collect), two steel flat bottomed bowls, a spoon, a small box and few drops of ghee.
Steps – How To Make Natural Homemade Kajal/Kohl
- Â Invert the two flat bottomed bowls.
- Place the plate on top of the bowls creating a bridge.
- Now, add some castor oil to the diya and burn the lamp.
- Place this diya in between the two bowls under the plate bridge.
- (Make sure there is sufficient place for the lamp to burn and it fire of the diya should touch the plate.)
- After about 20 minutes or so, carefully lift out the plate. (Be careful, the plate is super hot. Use tongs or a cloth to touch the plate. )
- The soot is collected on the bottom of the plate.
- Now scrap this suit with a blunt knife or the end of the spoon and collect in a clean dry container.
- Add 2-3 drops of ghee to the soot and mix will to make a black paste. Fill it in to a very small box. (I use steel box.)
Make sure that the ghee has to be in the right quantity. Too less ghee will make the Kajal very dry. And even a single drop more might make your Kajal to smudge. If the Kajal smudges, expose the open box of the Kajal to sunlight and dry the extra ghee. This will make your Kajal smudge free.
The only problem is the mixing of the soot with ghee can be done very well only with your index finger. This will leave your finger with traces of black for at least 2 days. And of course you will not be able to do a stylish conical structure of your Kajal. And also you will have to apply the Kajal on your water line with the tip of your finger. I am fine with all these issues.
Your home made Castor Oil Kajal is ready for use. Below is a pictorial representation of the procedure.
(You will need the following items)
(Make the following arrangement with the lighted diya, plate and 2 flat bottomed bowls.)
(Soot of the castor oil flame collected.)
(Scrapping the soot with the spoon end.)
(Collected soot in a dry container with 3 drops of ghee added.)
(Kajal mixed and ready for use.)
(Single swipe swatch of the kajal)

Calypte anna (Anna's hummingbird)
This male Anna's Hummingbird (Calypte anna) "sings" while perched in a Juniper in Sedona, Arizona. This is a song which is very difficult to record and edit, since it is very low volume and tends to get lost in whatever background noise there is. The vocalization is highly modulated and sounds quite like distant human speech, quite unlike any other hummer I've heard. One must be right under the bird to catch his squeaky, scratchy, croaky sound.
