I absolutely am in love with this purchase. It has been worn a few times already and has held up great after each wash with no fading, loss of shape or pealing. This graphic works best I think against the grey I chose. Love that this artist represents the beautiful diversity of our Puerto Rican culture. This image resonates with me being that I am Puerto Rican of mostly African descent. Thank you Ida Yvette Robles for representing all of us Boricuas!

This item arrived stained and dingy. The t-shirt itself has a stain on it and the color is absolutely nothing like the photo. The product detail has my image on a white tank top; however, the tank top that arrived looks like it was washed with a bunch of brown clothes and has a dirty look to it, aside from the stain. I took a picture of a Gildan white t-shirt I own (thats been washed several times already) with the tank top I received to show how dingy the tank looks. I've opened a ticket regarding a refund or replacement on this item and still have yet to hear back from anyone. Yet again, not a good first impression for this company.
The blossoms on this plant look like little butterflies. It's a beautiful plant which I hope to add to my own garden. Taken 2008.

PORTLAND, Maine (AP) — One of the founders of the quirky rock band The B-52s is using the 35th anniversary of its hit "Rock Lobster" to reiterate his opposition to eating them.
Fred Schneider says he stopped eating crustaceans at age 4 after going crabbing with family in New Jersey and watching them boiled alive. The lifelong vegetarian said in video narrated for People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals that he views crabs and lobsters not as seafood but as "sea life."
Schneider got the idea for "Rock Lobster" when a projector displayed images including lobsters on a grill at an Atlanta disco. He said he thought, "Rock this, rock that… rock lobster!"
The band jammed on the title and the song was born. The band's other hits include "Love Shack" and "Roam."

WASHINGTON (Sinclair Broadcast Group) -- Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski is trending on Twitter after aggressively hitting Bills cornerback Tre'Davious White after refs blew the whistle to end the play.
White intercepted a pass from quarterback Tom Brady and as White was called down, Gronkowski pummeled the back of White's head with his elbow.
To the surprise of many fans on Twitter, Gronkowski was not ejected or even called for a penalty for the game. SB Nation called Gronk's hit, "a cheap shot" while Deadspin described the play saying "bad Gronk squashes opponent after the whistle, somehow doesn't get ejected."
White, on the other hand, was evaluated for a head injury and left the game. The Patriots went on to win the game 23 to 3, improving their record to 10-2. Gronkowski caught 9 receptions for 147 yards.

Supervisors discuss new business
The Fox Township Supervisors discussed numerous new business items during their regular monthly meeting held Wednesday evening at the municipal building.The board discussed the need to repair the municipal building's roof, as it is leaking in some areas. Public Works Director and Supervisor Randy Gradizzi said he has looked at the roof and there are several loose screws which will need to be removed and replaced. A new coat of sealer is also needed, as the current coating is beginning to break off. Supervisor Chairman Mike Keller noted that typically larger screws with bigger gaskets are used as replacements on this type of roof. This fix usually lasts between 2-3 years.Keller proposed that Gradizzi obtain estimates on how much it would cost to repair the roof. Gradizzi said the township is running out of records storage areas inside the building. "Our records are slowly deteriorating," Gradizzi said. He suggested constructing a high-pitched roof, similar to the type of roof on the township's ambulance building."A long room upstairs could be used to store records," Gradizzi added.Keller said they need to look at accessibility to the potential space, questioning if the space would need to be handicap-accessible. Gradizzi noted that currently a ladder is required to access the space where the records are being stored. He added that a staircase could be built into any new plans.As a member of the Elk County Solid Waste Authority (SWA), Keller noted the township does not recycle electronics. "There is a very successful program in St. Marys. It would be good if we could get our electronics to that site," Keller said.According to Keller, the landfills will be forbidden to accept electronic recyclables by the end of 2013. "If we're not doing something now, we will have to do it soon," he said.Gradizzi explained the problem with electronic recycling within the township is a place to store the items. He said at one time the township had a container for electronics and once it was filled, the SWA would retrieve it. "Rather than paying hauling fees, the SWA decided to have it brought to the center to manage there," Keller said. Keller suggested looking into having a small shed or closed-in trailer to store the items. Once the container was full, they would work with the SWA in getting it to the center. "A closed-in trailer is our best option; that way, we can hook it up easily and haul it, plus it keeps the items dry," Gradizzi said.He added that the size of the unit would take approximately one month to fill and would be locked each night. Keller requested that Gradizzi examine the most effective way to go about this project."To date, the SWA has recycled one million pounds of electronics," Keller said. Some residents have expressed concern about dropping off old computers which may be stolen or hacked into in order to obtain personal information. Keller explained the county sends electronic recycling items to a bonded company which certifies that computers are not tampered with. "They are doing a terrific job with a handful of staff and volunteers," Keller said of the SWA. Gradizzi mentioned the consistent work of Dick Swanson, whom Gradizzi said is doing a fabulous job with maintaining and monitoring the township's recycling bin(s). "We have not gotten a bill for any type of contamination. This has reduced the cost of the program quite a bit," he said.A proposal has been submitted by Open Flow Energy to become the supplier of natural gas for all township accounts. Fox Township Secretary Kathy Dowie said these types of companies base their rates on the market. Keller said the board will table the issue.

Related Product Information
Cell health can be monitored by numerous methods. Plasma membrane integrity, DNA synthesis, DNA content, enzyme activity, presence of ATP, and cellular reducing conditions are known indicators of cell viability and cell death. alamarBlue® cell viability reagent functions as a cell health indicator by using the reducing power of living cells to quantitatively measure the proliferation of various human and animal cell lines, bacteria, plant, and fungi allowing you to establish relative cytotoxicity of agents within various chemical classes. When cells are alive they maintain a reducing environment within the cytosol of the cell. Resazurin, the active ingredient of alamarBlue® reagent, is a non-toxic, cell permeable compound that is blue in color and virtually non-fluorescent. Upon entering cells, resazurin is reduced to resorufin, a compound that is red in color and highly fluorescent. Viable cells continuously convert resazurin to resorufin, increasing the overall fluorescence and color of the media surrounding cells.
alamarBlue® cell viability reagent is used to assess cell viability by simply adding the 10X, ready-to-use solution to mammalian or bacterial cells in culture media (Figure 1). There is no requirement to aspirate media from cells or place cells in minimal media. Consequently, alamarBlue® reagent can easily be used in a single tube or microtiter plate format in a "nowash" fashion. Simply add alamarBlue® reagent as 10% of the sample volume (i.e., add 10 μL alamarBlue® reagent to 100 μL sample), followed by a 1–4 hours incubation at 37ºC. Longer incubation times may be used for greater sensitivity without compromising cell health (Figure 3 and see Frequently Asked Questions). The resulting fluorescence is read on a plate reader or fluorescence spectrophotometer. Alternatively, the absorbance of alamarBlue® reagent can be read on a spectrophotometer. Finally, results are analyzed by plotting fluorescence intensity (or absorbance) versus compound concentration.
Figure 1: alamarBlue® cell viability assay protocol. A 96-well plate containing the cells and the compounds to be tested is prepared using standard methods. alamarBlue® reagent is added directly to each well, the plates are incubated at 37°C to allow cells to convert resazurin to resorufin, and the fluorescence (or absorbance) signal is measured. Results are evaluated by plotting the fluorescent (or absorbance) signal versus compound concentration. This depicts an assay carried out in a 96-well plate, but the procedure is readily adaptable to other formats as well (including 384-well plates and tubes of various volumes). If tubes are used, the sample is transferred to a cuvette prior to spectrophotometric analysis.
alamarBlue® reagent can detect as few as 50 cells per well in a 96-well plate. To evaluate the sensitivity of alamarBlue® reagent, a serial dilution of HUVEC cells was performed in a black, clear-bottom 96-well plate. Cells were then treated with alamarBlue® reagent and the fluorescence was measured 40 minutes and 18 hours later. After 40 minutes, the fluorescence intensity of alamarBlue® reagent was directly proportional to cell number in the range of 500–50,000 cells. After 18 hours, the fluorescence intensity of alamarBlue® reagent was directly proportional to cell number in the range of 50–5,000 cells, leading to more sensitive detection (Figure 3).
|Figure 2A: Linearity of alamarBlue®. The fluorescence readout using alamarBlue® was linear over the range from ~500 to 50,000 cells after a 40 minute incubation.
|Figure 2B: Sensitivity of alamarBlue®. This graph of the same 96-well plate shows that the limit of detection of alamarBlue® can reach 50 cells per well with linearity to 5,000 cells per well by using an 18 h incubation. The horizontal line at ~450 RFU represents the background fluorescence, calculated as three times the standard deviation of the "no cell" control.
- Mammalian or bacterial cells in appropriate medium
- Appropriate 96- or 384-well plates
- Optional: 3% SDS in phosphate buffered saline (PBS), pH 7.4
Preparing Cells
- Mammalian Cells—Adherent: Plate mammalian cells in a cell culture flask or dish, and allow cells to adhere and grow for approximately 4–24 hours at 37°C and 5% CO2 before proceeding with the assay.
- Mammalian Cells—Suspension: Plate mammalian cells in a cell culture flask or dish, and use cells immediately for the assay or allow cells to grow for up to 24 hours at 37°C and 5% CO2 before proceeding with the assay.
- Bacterial Cells: For details, see references 2 and 3. Notes alamarBlue® reagent is stable to multiple freeze/thaw cycles and its activity is not affected if the reagent is frozen.
General Guidelines
- Cell types assayed with alamarBlue® reagent include mammalian, bacterial2 (including biofilms3), plant,4 and fish cells.5 More specifically alamarBlue® reagent has been tested on hepatocytes, such as HepG2 cells, as well as cells of primary origin.5
- Be sure to include appropriate assay controls. To minimize experimental errors, we recommend making measurements from a minimum of 4–8 replicates of experimental and no-cell control samples.
- You may need to determine the plating density and incubation time for the alamarBlue® assay for each cell type and use conditions such that the assay is in the linear range.
- If you plan to use longer incubation time (overnight), be sure to maintain sterile conditions during reagent addition and incubation to avoid microbial contaminants. Contaminated cultures will yield erroneous results as microbial contaminants also reduce alamarBlue® reagent.
- Fetal bovine serum (FBS) and bovine serum albumin (BSA) cause some quenching of fluorescence. We recommend using the same serum concentration in controls to account for this quenching. Other media components, such as phenol red do not interfere with the assay.
- Add 1/10th volume of alamarBlue® reagent directly to cells in culture medium as described in Table 1.
| Format
| Volume of cells + medium
| Volume of 10x alamarBlue to add
|1 mL
|100 µL
|96-well plate
|100 µL
|10 µL
|384-well plate
|40 µL
|4 µL
- Incubate for 1 to 4 hours at 37°C in a cell culture incubator, protected from direct light.
Note: Sensitivity of detection increases with longer incubation times. For samples with fewer cells, use longer incubation times of up to 24 hours.
- Record results using fluorescence or absorbance as follows:
Fluorescence: Read fluorescence using a fluorescence excitation wavelength of 540–570 nm (peak excitation is 570 nm). Read fluorescence emission at 580–610 nm (peak emission is 585 nm).
Absorbance: Monitor the absorbance of alamarBlue® at 570 nm, using 600 nm as a reference wavelength (normalized to the 600 nm value).
Note: Fluorescence mode measurements are more sensitive. When fluorescence instrumentation is unavailable, monitor the absorbance of alamarBlue® reagent. Assay plates or tubes can be wrapped in foil, stored at 4°C, and read within 1–3 days without affecting the fluorescence or absorbance values.
- Optional: Add 50 μL 3% SDS directly to 100 μL of cells in alamarBlue® reagent to stop the reaction.
Q: How does alamarBlue® work?
A: Healthy living cells maintain a reducing state within their cytosol. This "reducing potential" of cells converts alamarBlue® reagent into a detectable fluorescent (or absorbent) product.
Q: Is alamarBlue® reagent toxic?
A: No. alamarBlue® reagent is a safe, non-toxic reagent to both the sample and user.
Q: Does alamarBlue® reagent need reconstitution?
A: No, alamarBlue® reagent is supplied as a 10X, ready-to-use solution.
Q: Can I use alamarBlue® reagent with suspension cells too?
A: Yes. alamarBlue® reagent works on adherent and suspension mammalian cells.
Q: Can I use alamarBlue® reagent with non-mammalian cells, such as bacteria?
A: Yes, alamarBlue® reagent has been shown to work with bacterial 2 and plant cells. 4
Q: alamarBlue® reagent is not the most expensive cytotoxicity indicator on the market, does that mean it doesn't work as well as other reagents?
A: Actually, alamarBlue® reagent is comparable to other often more expensive cytotoxicity indicators.
Q: Since alamarBlue® is an absorbance or fluorescence readout, is it as sensitive as a luminescence product?
A: alamarBlue® reagent is sensitive enough to detect less than 50 mammalian cells in a single well of a 96-well plate.
Storage Questions
Q: What if I left the alamarBlue® stock reagent at room temperature, overnight?
A: The reagent is stable for up to 12 months when stored at room temperature (~22ºC).
Q: I accidentally froze the alamarBlue® stock reagent, can I still use it?
A: Yes. alamarBlue® reagent is stable to multiple freeze/thaw cycles. Be sure to heat the reagent in a 37°C water bath and mix the reagent to ensure a homogenous solution before use.
Q: Do I need to protect alamarBlue® reagent from light?
A: Yes, alamarBlue® reagent is very slowly converted into a fluorescent product over time, when exposed to light, thus leading to high background values. Store the reagent, protected from light.
Methods Questions
Q: What is the optimal incubation time and temperature of cells with alamarBlue® reagent?
A: Incubate the cells with alamarBlue® reagent for 1–4 hours at 37°C. For more sensitive detection with low cell numbers, increase the incubation time for up to 24 hours.
Q: Can you incubate cells with alamarBlue® reagent overnight?
A: Yes. However, signals from higher cell density samples may have "saturated," which means the linearity of reagent may have reached a plateau. If this occurs, decrease the incubation time.
Q: What if I don't have an instrument suitable for reading fluorescence?
A: The absorbance of alamarBlue® reagent also changes depending on cell viability and proliferation. Therefore, simply monitor the absorbance of the reagent at 570 nm, while using 600 nm as a reference wavelength.
Q: Is alamarBlue® assay strictly an endpoint assay?
A: No. While alamarBlue® can be used as a terminal readout of a population of cells, the reagent can also be used to continuously monitor cell viability and proliferation in real time. Since alamarBlue® reagent is non-toxic, you can incubate cells with reagent and monitor fluorescence (or absorbance) over time on the same sample.
Troubleshooting Questions
Q: What is the problem for observing high background fluorescence values?
A: The reagent may be breaking down due to exposure to light. Be sure to store alamarBlue® reagent in the dark and do not expose the reagent to direct light for long periods of time.
Q: Why are the fluorescence values so low in intensity?
A: Try increasing the incubation time of cells with alamarBlue® reagent, changing the instrument's "gain" setting, and checking the instrument filter/wavelength settings. Make sure to have positive controls (living cells) in the experimental design for troubleshooting.
Q: Why are the fluorescence values so high that they are beyond the linear range of the instrument?
A: Try decreasing the incubation time or reducing the number of cells used in the experiment.

Welcome to the second week of the Kotaku Game Club's series on The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword. This week, we're talking about the events from where we left off last week, the end of the Earth Shrine up through the Ancient Cistern dungeon.
Hopefully the people who've been trying catch up because of our tight schedule are up to speed. Regardless of how far you've progressed in the game, please try not to discuss anything that happens after the Ancient Cistern. (That's the water temple where you get the whip.) If you haven't played that far yet and are concerned about spoilers, you should know that this discussion will be full of spoilers for the half of the game.
If you haven't joined us before, the Kotaku Game Club plays one video game each month. We meet weekly to discuss our thoughts on the game as a group. In the past I've tried to emphasize the idea that you'll get more out of Game Club by keeping pace with our discussions, but since Skyward Sword is longer than any game we've played so far, it's definitely more important that we all just play the game.
Here is this week's jump-off question: Do you think the greater world of Skyward Sword is too small?
Compared to some of this year's massive open-world games, Skyward Sword seems to have a relatively compact world, and we've already been asked to revisit a few spots. (If only for a short time on the return trip.) Do you think this trend will continue? More importantly, do you think it's a problem or is it just efficient use of the game's levels?
At next week's meeting of the Kotaku Game Club we'll discuss the third quarter of the The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword. We'll be discussing everything up to the Fire Sanctuary. Make sure to meet us back here at Kotaku next Thursday, December 22nd, at 4pm Eastern.

GLEN ROCK, N.J., Dec. 11 (UPI) -- A New Jersey city temporarily took on the name of a utility company to honor the work of its employees following Hurricane Sandy.
The city of Glen Rock temporarily renamed itself Oklahoma G&E, N.J., for a 24-hour period in honor of Oklahoma Gas and Electric Co. crews who worked to restore power to the city after the October storm.
Mayor John van Keuren said the town's proclamation celebrated the workers' "great compassion and fortitude and graciousness while performing the repairs in an efficient way."
"Because the residents of Glen Rock appreciate the speed with which the OG&E crews responded to our need for power restoration, and because the residents of Glen Rock value the professionalism of their work," the proclamation reads.

Streaming-music-service-slash-social-network Rdio's new Android app is pretty damn excellent. In addition to support for Ice Cream Sandwich (Android 4.0), the app now includes Network Activity, User Profiles, New Releases, Album Charts and recommendations based on listening habits. If you've had a chance to check out the iOS version of Rdio, you'll know that the Android version has been lagging.
In fact, the app now leapfrogs the iOS version with quick access to Home, Settings and Sync options via your device's menu button (2.1 to 3.2) or the Rdio icon (4.0). Also, landscape mode is also an Android-only feature with some nice side-by-side album-listening action. (Rdio)

The motorbikes are pretty much done for.
This motorbike decided to see what would happen if it got between the tank and rear car.
Saws appeared on the horizon.
And they are going to hit this motorbike and the right treads on the tank next turn.
As the rear car was only going 4" a turn the motorbike smashed into it and blew up. If the explosion dmage was one more, it would have killed the civil protection troopers.
This lessened the damage the tank took.
New tank max movement: 18"
Civil Protection
Upon trying to use the farce to increase his allies damage, the weaponless civil troop knocked himself off the tank. The diver area remained locked.
Not expecting to do anything this troop decided to shoot at the minifig infront of him.
The uziman shot a burst at the trooper infront of him and missed.
Both the train and tank driver's radios receved the message: "You got four rounds to rap this up before the Civil Protection get beamed up along with whatever goods they have managed to gain control over.
Current vehicle speeds.
Train: 16"
Tank: 16"
Rear car: Pushed by tank.
Survivor car: 17"
motorcycle: Doesn't matter

Pets Pets Pets
Summer is road trip time so this week's "Pets" will suggest some U. S. sight-seeing destinations destined to delight dog lovers. First, a word of advice from my teacher days. Our faculty was always aware that once Fourth of July arrived, the summer would fly by, so start planning your itinerary now. Dog Destinations:
•For Collie and Lad fans: The famous homestead is gone but author Albert Payson Terhune's (Lad's owner) property is maintained as a memorial park by Wayne Township in New Jersey. Tour the gardens and the Van Riper-Hopper Historic House Museum which has collection of Terhune books (famous works include: Lad: A Dog and Bruce) and awards. The park has the graves of many Terhune Collies. Listed on the national literary landmark registry; the Sunnybank site is located between Pompton Lake and U.S. Route 202 in northern Jersey.
•For Beagle maniacs - Dog Bark Park Inn, Boise, Idaho: At 12-feet high, Toby and his pal Sweet Willy are the world's tallest Beagles. These wooden wonders are actually a bed and breakfast. Sweet Willy is a hotel room equipped with a deck. The owners of this quirky roadside attraction also carve and sell other breed statues on a much smaller scale. They got their big break when their artwork was sold on QVC in 1995. See dogbarkparkinn.com.
•For all things Snoopy: The Charles M. Schulz Museum in Santa Rosa, CA is dedicated to the work of the creator of the Peanuts comic strip. There is even a life-size fabric-wrapped Snoopy doghouse created by the artist Christo because his Running Fence art display over Sonoma Valley received praise from Snoopy in Peanuts. (Remember the Gates in Central Park by artists Christo and Jeanne Claude?) See schulzmuseum.org.
•For the artsy set: The AKC Museum of the Dog, located in an 1853 Greek Revival mansion at 1721 S. Mason Road in St. Louis (museumofthedog.org) is considered the world's largest collection of art devoted to dogs, but much closer to home is the elegant William Secord Gallery on Manhattan's Upper East Side. The Secord Gallery specializes in fine 19th century dog and animal paintings and is the only gallery of its kind in North America. Secord, a prolific author, is considered the world's foremost authority on dog art and has collected more than 2,500 works dating to 1805. See dogpainting.com.
•For those who never lose hope: Go see the Bobbie the Wonder Dog Mural in Silverton, Oregon. In 1923, Bobbie was separated from his family on a road trip in Indiana and got lost. Six months later he returned to his fami ly home in Silverton Oregon, showing signs that he walked all the way back alone. A mural on Water Street is dedicated to B obbie, the Wonder Dog. The town has an annual Pet Parade in May honoring children and their pets and in me mor y of B obbi e. There is also an annual Bobbie Day, Feb. 15, which commemorates the day Bobbie returned home. See silvertonian.com.
•For the Cairn crowd: The Wizard of Oz Museum (ozmuseum.com) in Wamego, Kansas houses more than 2,000 artifacts from the L. Frank Baum book and Judy Garland movie plus plenty of Toto memorabilia, but Toto isn't buried there. When she (yes, Toto was really Terry a female) died in 1944, the terrific Terrier was buried on her trainer Carl Spitz's ranch in Studio City, California, but these grounds became part of the expansion of the Ventura Highway in 1958.
•For LI homebuddies: Take the historic dog final resting place tour. Start at the Bideawee pet cemetery in Wantagh and visit Checkers' grave. The Cocker Spaniel was the impetus for Nixon's famous speach. Speaking of possible improper gifts from political supporters, Nixon mentioned the puppy. " The kids love that dog and regardless of what they say about it, we're going to keep it." Then go to state park headquarters at Belmont Lake to see the "My Faithful Dog Robin" tombstone near the cannons which I maintain belongs to August Belmont Jr.'s dog who was entered in the first Westminster Kennel Club show in 1877 as both a Gordon and an English Setter. (See "Pets" 2/4/10.) Finally, walk two miles south on the horse trail until you get to Southards Pond. You will need to use your imagination because the Westminster buildings burned down in 1918. Back track north about 350 feet on the horse or walking trail and you will be at clearing in the woods which I firmly believe was the Westminster Kennel Club clubhouse complex from 1880-1904. In the middle of that clearing was the flagpole that marked the 1887 grave of Sensation, the majestic Pointer that still symbolizes Westminster Kennel Club. Stand there, close your eyes, take a deep breath and you should be able to picture Sensation pointing at a bird in OUR Babylon woods.
For Adoption at Babylon Shelter (631-643- 9270) Lamar St.in W. Babylon: "Tango" #2-101 an adorable longhaired kitten is dressed up as Uncle Sam to mark the Fourth but also to let everyone know that black cats and kittens at the shelter are extraspecial and can be adopted (spayed/ neutered, vaccinated) at NO CHARGE, and this promotion includes black & white kitties like Tango too. Meanwhile "Schulzie" #12-386 is a sweet Spaniel mix found in Deer Park.
Cats: "Midnight" #2-108- semilonghaired black; "Mr. Man" #2-101- black & white.
Dogs: "Sam" Beagle found at Tanner Park; "Blondie" effervescent Pit/Lab; "Shorty" Pit/Shepherd who has grown up at the shelter; "Merry" and "Pinky" Shih tzus.

Stanford knew that with the departure of quarterback Andrew Luck, they'd be facing a tough road ahead of them. However, with the unlikely emergence of Irish American quarterback Kevin Hogan, the Cardinals are on their way to their first Rose Bowl appearance in thirteen years.
Hogan has great football pedigree and Notre Dame roots. Indeed,Notre Dame coach Brian Kelly apparently looked him over at one point after he was a star quarterback in high school in Washington D.C. where he led Gonzaga. The 6 foot 4 inches standout whose people are from West Kerry was ranked 15 among high school quarterbacks in the country by Rivals.com
His grandfather James M. O'Brien played football at Navy and uncles Coley O'Brien and Ivan Brown played football at Notre Dame. His cousin Sean O'Brien played football at Arizona. He has an older brother, Brian and older sister, Kelly, He was born in McLean,Virginia.
Writing for Sports Illustrated, Stewart Mandel tracked Hogan's impressive rise with the Cardinal at Stanford. The Cardinal, the Pac-10 champs for the year, will face off against Big Ten champion Wisconsin at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena on January 1st.
Hogan, who was Hamilton's top recruit coming into Stanford, made a slow start with the Cardinals. Hamilton knew Hogan was a "raw" player and with the right amount of attention, he could turn into a strong player. Hogan's hard work didn't go unnoticed and the red shirt freshman now has had his big break. He started the season as the No. 3 ranked but soon rose to the top.
"In training camp, Kevin showed us his abilities and his skills, and the bigger the [playbook] installation got, to be honest, he also showed us that he wasn't quite ready," said Shaw. "But he got us excited. He wasn't quite ready for the first quarter of the season."
Indeed, Hogan had only thrown one pass in eight games when he came in for the third series of the Cardinal's Nov. 3 game at Colorado. As a freshman, he redshirted.
"There was still some uncertainty [with Hogan]," said offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach Pep Hamilton. "You didn't know if he could handle a progression read. You didn't know if on third down he had the poise to stand in the pocket and deliver an accurate pass. The one thing we knew he could do -- he could run."
Hogan came into the game and led the Cardinal on four straight touchdown drives in an eventual 48-0 win. Hamilton was sold when, on Hogan's second series, the redshirt freshman recognized the Buffs had seven defenders in pass coverage on third-and-nine from the Stanford 36. Hogan looked off his primary receiver and took off running for a 20-yard gain.
"By then, it was a moot point. There was no way we could pull him out," said Shaw. "The energy he gave us as an offense, as well as being proficient with the rest of the game -- he showed us he could do all that. Given his athletic ability, he had to be the starter."
On November 10, Hogan saw his first time starting for the Cardinal against the then-ranked Number 13 Oregon State. He threw a touchdown pass that brought the Cardinal to victory with only 5:07 remaining. Hogan found his hot streak. He played integral roles in the overtime upset of Oregon, and a win over UCLA in pouring rain which gave Hogan the MVP honor for the evening and spot in the Rose Bowl.
Said Hamilton of the pleasant surprise that Hogan turned out to be: "I can't say there was a defining moment in practice or training camp that led us to believe this kid could go out and beat four Top 25 teams, be the MVP of the Pac-12 championship game and lead us to the Rose Bowl. Talent prevailed. He has 'it,' and I define 'it' as instincts and talent. You cannot coach those two attributes."
Hogan started making waves on the field though with impressively quick plays and improvisation, notes Hamilton. "The dynamic we were missing the most was the quarterback's ability to improvise."
Despite Hogan's impressive contributions to the Cardinal, he remains quiet yet self-assured, much to the dismay of many reporters who would like to pick his brain. When asked if someone had told him in August that he would be starting in the Rose Bowl, he only said "I don't know. That'd be cool?"
And when asked if he felt any nerves prior to the game at the number 1 ranked Oregon, Hogan coolly responded, "No. It's just football."
"He's awesome. He's just cold-blooded," said Cardinal offensive tackle David Yankey. "Nothing fazes him. He's cold-blooded, and I love it."
"I wouldn't say I'm surprised," Shaw said of Hogan's emergence. "But he got there a lot faster than I thought he would."

I don't know what you cut out of your diet but if you want to lose weight safely my suggestion would be to cut sugar in all forms except whole fruit. So regular sugar and any wheat, flour, gluten, grains, etc. Everyone I know who has done this has felt fantastic. There's a book that has a really fascinating up front section on how certain foods impact our bodies. It's called the Everything Paleolithic Diet Book. It's also a cookbook. One of my favorite cookbooks is Paleo Comfort Foods.
Regarding nursing, I find it to be an integral part of my weight maintenance program!
I hope you get to where you need to be on all fronts. And big thanks to your husband for his service to our country!

I'm in love with this guy who is as sweet as the day is long. He's everything I've ever wanted in a partner. What makes him so charming is he's only recently come out as gay. Before this he was married. He is not jaded like so many other guys I meet. But there's a problem. He's real vanilla. I guess that's the down side of coming out of a heterosexual marriage at the age of 35. He's happy as a clam fucking me a couple times a week. He thinks anal sex is really adventurous and sexually daring. I on the other hand, am suffocating in the boredom. I know, now I sound really jaded, but I can't help it. It's just that there's so much more to sex than what we are doing. I want to introduce him to some kinky shit, but I'm afraid that I will scare him off. What the fuck should I do?
I absolutely adore messages that start out: "I'm so in love. He/she is everything I ever wanted, blah, blah, blah!" Because I know that only a few words later the other shoe is gonna drop, and drop hard. "But there's a problem, blah, blah, blah!"
Of course there's a problem. There is always a problem…even with Mr. or Ms. Perfect, or maybe because your honey is so freakin perfect. Take it from me, sexual dissatisfaction will upset even the most tranquil and rosy apple cart and send everyone into a tizzy. Allow me to share with you something I wrote about this very issue about ten years ago. I think you will find the advice as fresh as the day it was written.
So you've met the person of your dreams only you haven't got around to telling your new honey your dirty little secret. The sweet thing hasn't a clue that you're itchin' for some big time bondage. Or that you'd sell your soul to be dominated like the scum that you are. Or you're salivating over that dildo you have tucked away in the attic, the one that could be mistaken for a floor lamp. Or you're craving to be spanked till your shameless ass glows in the dark. Or you want to hump his/her feet like a dog and gobble up his/her toe jam. Or you have this nasty little thing about spike heels, frilly knickers and jungle red lipstick.
Never fear, Dr. Dick has heard it all a million times before. Some sorry pervert's got it bad for white bread. Dear Dr. Dick, Help! I'm in love with the sweetest guy/gal in the word, but our sex life is all vanilla all the time. I'm bored shitless! I know how to liven things up, you see I have this fetish (you fill in the blank) but I don't know how to tell him/her about it and I'm afraid s/he'll freak if s/he finds out. What's a perv to do?
Introducing your partner to your personal world of kink is tricky; the whole little love match could blow up in your face. But a life of pretense and sexual boredom isn't the way to go either. Why not just stand tall like the disgusting depraved creature you are and brazenly proclaim your fetish to little Mary Sunshine. After all, unless your boyfriend or gal-pal is as dumb as a post s/he's already figured out that your mutual sex life limps. Besides, there's nothing more satisfying than corrupting an innocent. Who knows, s/he may have secrets of his/her own.
Here's what I suggest. Casually direct the conversation to the amazing variety of human sexual expression. You could reassure your sweetie that just because some things are unfamiliar don't make them bad. Tell him/her that you've been waiting for your relationship to mature so that you could share the intricacies of your desires with him/her. This can be one of those precious bonding moments that Oprah's always talkin' about. This might be a good time to view that special video you picked up in the kink section of the local porn emporium. Invite her/him to explore your fantasy with you. Tell the little flower that your love for him/her demands that you share the fullness of your sexuality with her/him. Then pick one turn-on for the two of you to experiment with — lingerie, toys, dominance and submission, role-playing, whatever.
Decide on a safe-word, an out of context word your partner could use if the experiment is heading in an uncomfortable direction. For example, if the dildo is too big or the lipstick is too red, s/he could say "pickles." The safe-word, when uttered in the scenario, will let you know that you need to change direction or slow down without completely destroying the built up sexual energy.
If this initiation process doesn't work Dr. Dick suggests that you cut your losses and dump the white bread. Go out and find yourself a kindred spirit, someone you won't have to apologize to for being creative in your sex play.
Good luck

A fight to make public a video showing the arrest of NBA star Kendrick Perkins was given a boost this past week when the Texas attorney general ruled March 20, 2012, in favor of The Examiner Newspaper and ordered the city to release information it has been fighting for months to keep secret and destroy – a move that prompted the newspaper to also seek a restraining order.
Perkins was arrested on charges of disorderly conduct and public intoxication outside The Ticket Sports Bar on Aug.13, 2011. Immediately following his arrest, he hired an attorney and his former publicist said Perkins had been "drinking water" all night and was not intoxicated when he was taken into custody. Perkins also alleged that Beaumont officers hit him on his knees with police batons. According to police and sources at the scene, Perkins was cursing and fighting with officers and others and attempted to break free as his entourage tried to hold him back. At that point police took him into custody.
There were at least four police video cameras rolling at the time Perkins was taken into custody. Although not all of them have images of Perkins or the arrest, sources told the newspaper that on the audio Perkins can be heard acting in a belligerent manner toward the officers. A BPD sergeant at the scene stated in a press release, "There were approximately 50 people gathered around Perkins as he was attempting to fight the (club's) manager. The crowd was able to push Perkins out the back door of the club where he stopped and continued to yell obscenities. Several officers attempted to quiet Perkins and to get him to leave the property. Perkins continued with the obscenities and was trying to fight several other people in the crowd who were apparently trying to help."
The Examiner has fought to obtain records from the Perkins arrest but met continuous roadblocks put up by the city attorney's office, which also dismissed the charges against Perkins. In January, a written request from the city attorney's office was forwarded to the Texas attorney general seeking to withhold the information with the city having full knowledge that Perkins was now seeking to have his record expunged, which would cause all documents related to the case to be destroyed.
The newspaper filed a counter argument to the city's with the state and received a ruling in its favor last Tuesday. However, because notice of the ruling was sent via the U.S. Postal Service, the newspaper was not aware it had won until this past Thursday – a day after Jefferson County Criminal District Judge Layne Walker signed an order to clear Perkins' record, which goes into effect in 30 days.
Assistant city attorney Sharae Bassett, who drafted the city's failed opposition to the Texas attorney general, bristled when she found out the attorney general had ruled against the city.
"I will have to talk to my boss (Tyrone Cooper, city attorney)," said Bassett. "We have an expungement now."
Fearing the city would move forward with the destruction of the records in the case despite being told to release the information, the newspaper filed a petition in court and obtained a temporary restraining order (TRO) against the city because there is a question as to which order is superceding.
The TRO mandates the city to be in court on April 5 to present its reasons for not turning over the requested information in the case. It also orders the city to preserve the records.
"… The Court finds that the plaintiffs will be irreparably damaged if the city of Beaumont and the Beaumont Police Department are allowed to destroy the records at issue," states the order. "It is therefore ordered that plaintiff's motion for temporary restraining order and motion for temporary injunction pursuant to (Texas Rules of Civil Procedure Sect. 5, Rules 680 and 681) is hereby granted."
Questionable conduct
During its investigation of the actions of the city attorney's office, The Examiner uncovered several instances of possible impropriety, including information contained in court records alleging Cooper wanted to see the charges against Perkins "go away."
The revelation was discovered in a court document provided by a source because the city has refused to turn over any documents in the case.
"Movant (Perkins' first attorney, Langston Adams) accompanied by Mr. Perkins met with City Attorney Tyrone Cooper and assistant city attorney Sharae Bassett," states a document titled "Motion to Withdraw as Counsel" filed on Sept. 8, 2011. "At the outset of such meeting Mr. Cooper indicated that he wanted to see the charges against Mr. Perkins go away. However, the public intoxication and disorderly conduct charges against Mr. Perkins have yet to be dismissed. At such meeting movant and Mr. Perkins were allowed to view three of four DVD's capturing audio and video of Mr. Perkins and the events leading to his arrest. Such recordings were made on the motor vehicle recording devices of the Beaumont Police Department."
The document was filed by Adams.
Adams said the reason he was filing his motion to withdraw as counsel was because four days after he and Perkins met with Cooper, he was told that his services were no longer needed.
"Why would he need me if the case was going to go away," Adams said.
After Adams filed the motion, Cooper sought to have sanctions brought against him for letting it be known Cooper wanted the case to "go away."
When asked for comment in a previous story, Cooper became defensive about being asked why he was trying so hard to keep the Perkins videos and other information from being seen by the public. He also lied, saying that Adams had requested a gag order in the case.
"We are not withholding (anything)," Cooper said. "We had a gag order. It was requested by Langston Adams when he was still on the case."
When asked about the gag order, municipal court judge Craig Lively said he entered the order sua sponte, meaning on his own and not at Adams' request.
Since then Cooper has repeatedly refused to answer questions about the case and since the TRO was sought, he has not answered phone calls from the newspaper.As for Bassett, aside from being one of the 3,500 "friends" on Kendrick Perkins' Facebook page, she is also a Facebook "friend" of Sean Samuel, who is representing Perkins in the expungement case — a case where the city took no position and did not object to the criminal charges being removed from Perkins' record. But during a search of her Facebook page the newspaper discovered a photo showing Samuel and Bassett snuggled together on a couch.
The photo, from Feb. 12, 2009, shows Bassett with her leg over Samuel's leg and him with his arm around her. Samuel is the son of city councilman Audwin Samuel. The city attorney works for the city council.
The newspaper made numerous attempts to obtain an explanation from Bassett regarding the photo but she never called back. Likewise, a message with Samuel was not returned.
A request for comment from the State Bar of Texas on the rules of conduct for attorneys had not been received as of press time.

The Lady Bisons basketball team is going to surprise both fans and opponents this season with their new style of play.
Coach Frank Bennett admits his team won't be the most athletic in the Atlantic Sun Conference, but they will be playing a more up tempo brand of basketball both offensively and defensively. As a result of the change in playing style Bennett opened practice of his 30th season at the helm of the Lady Bisons in a different way. Borrowing a page from football teams, he put his team through two practice sessions Saturday during fall break.
"We had a full day of basketball on Saturday," said Bennett. "We got to a lot of work on our offense. And we have worked a lot on our base defense.
"Everybody is working hard. Everyone has a great attitude. Everyone is competing in practice."
The players appear to like the faster pace of the offense and are responding to the challenge.
"They like to play fast and we want them to play fast," said Bennett. "The challenge has been shifting gears when the shot is not there. We have been working a lot on how to seamlessly get into our offense after we have recognized on the break that the quick shot is not going to be there.
"We are doing things more aggressively on defense. We have changed some things there to make us different."
Bennett would like to see his Lady Bisons get a great shot in the first 10 seconds of the possession. If the shot is not there he wants them to be patient and work for a quality shot.
"It's a lot about awareness, recognition and making the appropriate moves," said Bennett.
Bennett has found it easy to spread praise around the court. Junior guard Jenna Bartsokas, sophomore center Clair Waggener and sophomore center Brittany Duerk have been standouts. But junior wing Valerie Bronson has shown the most improvement among the veterans.
"Valerie has made a big jump from last season to where she is now," said Bennett. "I think what we are doing offensively is a good fit for her. It opens up chances for her to post up some and drive to the basket.
"She is playing harder. She has a better attitude. She is making a difference."
Bennett is also impressed with what he is seeing from sophomore guard Anna Bowers.
"Anna has been pretty aggressive offensively," said Bennett. "One of her biggest things is being too hard on herself and letting mistakes get to her. She has to work on that. But I am pleased with how she is doing."
Freshman wing Morgan Faulkner has been one of the better freshman players in practice.
"Our freshmen are trying to make the jump from the pace of a high school game and the things they have always done to things they have never done much," said Bennett. "I see progress there."
Bennett does like one problem the team has presented. With the quality of the depth on the roster this season he is going to have to make some difficult choices about the use of his personnel.
"We are going to have hard decisions to make about who is going to start and who is going to play," said Bennett. "It's not like there is a big drop off in a lot of places."
Bennett and his team are motivated by the Atlantic Sun preseason poll. The coaches ranked the Lady Bisons 10th in the 11-team league.
"I don't like to see us in that position," said Bennett. "I think last year's record is a big part of it. I believe we will have the chance to surprise a lot of people with our pace of play and style of play."

Nassau County Republicans lined up earlier this month in support of County Legislator Michael Venditto, a Massapequa Republican, as their party's candidate to succeed former Sen. Charles Fuschillo Jr. in the New York State Senate.
The 8th Senate District, which stretches from Baldwin to Lindenhurst, has been without a senator since Fuschillo, a Merrick Republican, resigned on Dec. 31 to become CEO of the Alzheimer's Foundation of America.
The Nassau County Republican Committee decided on March 6 to lend its backing to Venditto, who has represented the Massapequas and part of Farmingdale in the Nassau County Legislature since November 2012, when he won a special election to fill the vacancy created a month earlier when former Presiding Officer Peter Schmitt died in office. Venditto is the son of John Venditto, supervisor of the Town of Oyster Bay.
An email from Venditto's campaign said he "believes that returning a Republican controlled State Senate is crucial to protecting our suburban interests against a New York State government that is already dominated by New York City interests."
The email highlighted Venditto's votes to pass annual budgets County Executive Ed Mangano proposed that did not include property tax increases, and it also said he aided in delivering relief supplies to residents following Hurricane Sandy and has supported efforts to curb drug and alcohol abuse among young people. Mangano's budgets have consistently held county property taxes flat while financing the county's expenses with billions of dollars of debt.
"I want to fight for the hardworking, middle class families and taxpayers of Long Island," Venditto told the Herald. "From Washington, throughout our state and right down the line, there's been, in my opinion, too much of a tax-and-spend mentality in government, and it's hurting our residents."

"I was born to a family that does not believe in God," Moran Rosenblit
explains. "From a young age I started to drink alcohol and started to go to
parties. I was a disc jockey in the nightclubs. I had my bar mitzvah when I
was age of 13. I did it out of respect to my grandfather who believes in God."
Yet Moran Rosenblit still did not believe in God. When he reached the age
of 19, Moran performed another expected obligation: He joined the Israeli
"On the same week that I was assigned from one place to another, on a Sunday,
as I was on my way to the new place, we heard that there was a suicide bomber
at the unit where we served.
"We lost 22 soldiers, and seven of them I served with in the army. It was
a week that Ill never forget. We went from one funeral to another. We
even had to decide which funeral we were going to go to because there were
too many. We went to the hospital to visit another friend that was badly wounded,
and two weeks after he was wounded, he died.
"It was a very hard time in my life, something that changed my life. Ever
since, I didnt really cry, I kept the pain inside in my heart. For weeks
together we shared the same room. Those were people who were close to me,
and suddenly, they were not there.
"I did not have God to turn to. The only thing I could do back then was to
blame God and to point my finger. I didnt believe that there was a God."
Two weeks after Moran left the army, tragedy struck again.
"The reality is just that there is always someone you know who is dying in
Israel," Moran says.
Moran went back to deejaying and drinking. But no matter what he did, the
pain wouldnt go away.
"I was angry at anyone, everybody, and I blamed everybody. That was sad.
It was all because of this pressure."
Moran also decided that he could no longer live in Israel. He ended up staying
with a friends family in California. When they took a trip to Florida,
Moran tagged along. On the way, they put worship music on in the car.
Moran was indignant. "I said, 'Why are you doing this? Why are you brainwashing
your kids about God? What is Jesus? Lets put some rock n
roll in. Lets party. Lets sing.' And we had this argument throughout
the road trip, this discussion about God and the fact that I didnt believe
that there was God. But they prayed for me."
Weeks later, Moran began to feel sick.
"I actually started to cry and I shared with that friend about my friends
who died, their names and what they meant to me, and how tired I am from this
life. I didnt want to live anymore."
The diagnosis Moran received was a relief.
"It is something that caused this result of depression and the result of
keeping everything inside me and not letting it out."
Another friend of Morans invited him to her church.
"I was really touched to see all of those people and their love for Israel.
I came a few times. One of those times, the pastor was teaching from the book
of Hebrews. He said that the Jewish people think that they know God and believe
in God but they dont actually know God in a personal way because they
are blind. I got really angry: 'How come, you pastor, are talking that way?
'I asked him, 'How come you speak about Israel that way?' And he asked me,
'Have you ever read the tenauch?' which is the Old Testament. I said, 'Sometimes,
when I was young, but not real seriously.' Then he asked me, 'Have you ever
read the New Testament?' I said, 'What is the New Testament?' He said, 'Go
home and read it, and then come back and talk to me.'"
When Moran went back home, he found something there he had never seen before.
was a small book called Why Me? written by Jacob Damkani. Its
a testimony of an Israeli person, how he came to know the Lord. I took that
book and I started to read it. As I was reading that book, the Holy Spirit
just fell like rain, just like rain. And the light switch -- I like to use
that illustration, the light switch -- just went up and I came to the light.
"In the end of the book there is an invitation to receive Yeshua, Jesus,
into your life. There is another invitation to recommit yourself. I didnt
know what either of them meant, so I just said both prayers. I said, 'God,
I believe that you are there, but please show it to me, and please show me
the truth about that Jesus.'
"God just broke me for that moment to open my eyes and to bring me from darkness
to light and from the power of Satan to the power of God.
What happened to Moran's anger and the depression he felt after what happened
to all those people?
"The anger and the depression I feel like a completely new person,
without the alcohol for four-and-a-half years," he says. "He gave me life.
He gave me hope. Thoughts of committing suicide just went away. I used to
drive and look at the trees and think which tree I wanted to drive into, but
now no. I want to live and I want to be able to serve God and to bring that
hope that I have to my brothers and sisters around the world."
A caring friend will be there to pray with you in your time of need.

The Sports Xchange
The Pittsburgh Penguins announced Friday that defenseman Kris Letang will miss out least six weeks after suffering a stroke last week.
Further testing also revealed that Letang, 26, has a small hole in the wall of his heart that may have contributed to the stroke.
The condition is treatable with blood thinners and is not believed to be career threatening, the team said.
Letang has had the small hole in the wall of his heart since he was born.
He last played Jan. 27.
"Kris had one brief episode of dizziness and nausea last week," general manager Ray Shero said in a statement. "We held him out of the Los Angeles (Kings) game (Jan. 30), and when he continued to feel ill, tests conducted in Phoenix on Saturday gave us the first indication of his condition. Further testing then was conducted when he returned to Pittsburgh, and he continued to undergo a battery of tests here this week."
Letang was cleared by the team to go on vacation with his family during the NHL's Olympic break.
"I hope that by making my condition public at this time, I can help other people by encouraging them to seek medical help if they experience some of the symptoms associated with a stroke -- regardless of their age or general health," Letang said in a statement. "It obviously was a shock to get the news but I'm optimistic that I can overcome this and get back on the ice."
Shero said the team is most concerned about Letang's health.
"We're not thinking about hockey right now," Shero said. "We want to make sure he gets the best possible care and gets better. After six weeks of treatment, doctors will re-evaluate Kris."
Letang has 18 points in 34 games this season. He was a finalist for the Norris Trophy, awarded to the league's top defenseman, in 2012-13. He helped the Penguins win the Stanley Cup in 2009.
Letang has 227 points in 419 NHL games.

On A Positive Note: Croke-Patterson Mansion gets new life as boutique inn
The historic Croke-Patterson Mansion in Denver's Capitol Hill neighborhood gains a new lease on life as the Patterson Inn, a nine-room luxury boutique hotel.
In January, owners Kerri and Travis McAfoos began an extensive renovation of the structure built in 1891 by one of Colorado's earliest entrepreneurs, Thomas Croke.
"By restoring the mansion and converting it to a luxury inn, we believe we have found the ideal use for the property and provided a lasting benefit to the local community," Travis McAfoos says. "We embraced the history of this building, yet we injected a fresh, contemporary feel throughout in terms of finishes, conveniences and amenities."
Much of the original millwork, stained glass windows, fireplaces and light fixtures have been preserved, while investments have been made to allow for a three-floor elevator, private baths for each suite, complimentary WiFi, LCD televisions and Apple® TV media programming.

Board approves comprehensive Pathways to Student Success Plan

Board approves comprehensive Pathways to Student Success Plan
BISMARCK - At its regular meeting today, the State Board of Higher Education approved a comprehensive plan that is designed to build a strong foundation for high-quality education for North Dakota students for the future. In a unanimous vote, the Board approved the North Dakota University System "Pathways to Student Success Plan," which will be implemented in a graduated process during the next few years.
"We are extremely pleased with the plan the Chancellor developed and with the rigorous and inclusive vetting process that he and his staff are accomplishing across our campuses and constituencies," said Duaine Espegard, president of SBHE. "They have created a plan that we believe will raise our university system to the level of distinction our great state deserves."
Originally introduced under the working title of the "Three-Tier System Access Plan," the plan is grounded in a mission-driven university system whose 11 institutions work efficiently and transparently to make students' educational goals their highest priority. The final name "Pathways to Student Success Plan" more accurately reflects the focus of the plan, which is to ensure that North Dakota students are effectively prepared to be successful during their academic preparation and in their chosen careers.
"A long-term goal of this Board has been to elevate the academic standing of our 11 institutions," said Grant Shaft, past president of SBHE and current board member. "Today's Board action is the first giant step in a process that will dramatically improve our institutions and the quality of the education we provide to our students."
The plan contains the following components:
Access. Establish a set of admission standards that links student readiness with the appropriate institution's mission and resources.
Admissions index components will include ACT composite, GPA, class rank where suitable, core courses completed and ND residency.
Quality. Create a High School to College Success Report to provide feedback on how students perform at the postsecondary level.
Affordability. Expand the present financial aid program to include more need-based aid as well as support for the adult learner population.
Learning. Deliver remedial and developmental courses through the community colleges, partnering with the regional and research universities when most appropriate for student success.
Establish a uniform set of criteria and tuition for dual-credit courses.
Increase effectiveness of student academic support.
Accountability. Establish a uniform, transparent tuition model across institutions and delivery types and standardize undergraduate tuition waiver practices.
Move to a per-credit hour tuition model, differentiated by program where applicable.
"My hope is that the citizens of North Dakota will support the NDUS Pathways to Student Success Plan and make our university system one of the truly great educational systems in the nation," said Ham Shirvani, Chancellor of NDUS. "We are poised to be not just a good university system, but a truly great university system. It is ours to build. I believe in that goal and, working together, we can accomplish it."

Suvir Saran's Warm Egg Salad on Croissants with Country Bacon and Arugula Recipe
Reprinted with permission from Masala Farm by Suvir Saran. Copyright © 2012. Published by Chronicle Books. Available wherever books are sold. All rights reserved.
Read more: Cook the Book: 'Masala Farm'
- Yield:serves 4
- Active time: 30 minutes
- Total time:30 minutes
- 8 strips good-quality thick-cut bacon
- 8 cups water
- 1/4 cup white vinegar
- 8 large eggs, at room temperature
- 4 butter croissants, halved
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise, store-bought or homemade
- Kosher salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 16 leaves baby arugula
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lay the bacon on a rimmed baking sheet and cook in the oven for 10 to 20 minutes, depending on how crisp you like your bacon. Remove the pan from the oven and use tongs to transfer the bacon to a paper towel–lined plate to drain and cool. Set aside. Reduce the oven temperature to 200°F.
Pour the water and vinegar into a large pot and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to medium and use a slotted spoon to gently lower the eggs into the boiling water. Simmer the eggs (reduce the heat to medium-low if necessary) for exactly 12 minutes.
While the eggs cook, set the croissants on a rimmed baking sheet and place them in the oven to warm (reassemble the croissants so they are whole—you don't want the interior to get toasty and hard).
Transfer the cooked eggs to a sieve and place them under cold running water until they're cool enough to handle (you don't want the eggs to be cold—they need to be warm). Peel the eggs, place them in the bowl of a food processor, and purée until they're creamy. Add the mayonnaise, season with salt and pepper, and continue to process until the mixture is well combined.
Divide the egg salad among the bottom halves of each croissant. Top each with 4 pieces of arugula and 2 pieces of bacon. Cover with the top halves of the croissants and eat immediately.

Durant scores 33 after missing first 8 shots and Thunder beat Bucks 101-85 to snap 2-game skid
- Image 1 of 2
- Image 2 of 2
OKLAHOMA CITY – Kevin Durant did the expected.
And for a change, Oklahoma City's defense came along for the ride.
Durant scored 33 points, Serge Ibaka had 17 points and 17 rebounds and the Thunder snapped a two-game skid by defeating the Milwaukee Bucks 101-85 Saturday night.
Oklahoma City was coming off two poor defensive efforts. On Tuesday, the Thunder let the Jazz shoot 59 percent from the field on their way to a 112-101 win. Two nights later, Denver led 89-66 after three quarters before holding on for a 101-88 win over the Thunder.
This time, the Thunder held the Bucks to 40 percent shooting and sent them to their fifth consecutive loss.
"All we wanted to focus on was defense," Durant said. "We told the guys before the game, 'Don't worry about making shots or missing shots, just worry about locking in on defense,' and I think they did a great job of that."
Durant took care of much of the offense, though much of his damage came after a hard fall. He went up to block a shot in the second quarter, hit the floor and remained there for a few minutes. He got up and walked to the bench on his own as the crowd's cheers broke a concerned silence. Moments later he made his first 3-pointer of the game. He made 7 of 9 shots from the field after the fall.
"That fall woke me up," said Durant, who missed his first eight shots from the field. "One of my friends texted me after the game and said as soon as I fell, he dropped to his knees and prayed for me. I guess that helped, too."
Jeremy Lamb added 17 points for the Thunder, who had lost four of six. Oklahoma City scored just 14 points in the first quarter and 38 in the first half before heating up and hitting 63 after the break.
O.J. Mayo and Luke Ridnour scored 16 points apiece and Giannis Antetokounmpo had 13 points and 11 rebounds and five assists for the Bucks (7-29), who have the league's worst record.
Milwaukee coach Larry Drew was impressed with Antetokounmpo's effort. The 19-year-old was matched up with Durant for much of the night, and he bothered him early.
"I thought he took the challenge," Drew said. "It's great to put him in that situation so he can learn. He has to feel good about how he played tonight."
With the score tied at 54, Mayo was issued a technical foul for arguing with the officials. Durant made the free throw, then Lamb made a 3-pointer on the following possession. Lamb then made a layup to give the Thunder a 60-54 lead.
Oklahoma City rolled from there. Durant was fouled on a 3-pointer with 0.4 seconds left in the third quarter. He made all three free throws to give the Thunder a 77-62 lead. Durant scored 14 points in the period. It would have been worse had Brandon Knight not found his shooting stroke. Knight, held without a point in the first half, scored 11 of his 13 points in the third quarter. Oklahoma City made just 12 of 42 shots in the first half, but hit 13 of 24 in the third period.
"It got away in the third quarter," Drew said. "I thought defensively, we had some breakdowns."
Milwaukee didn't go away. Back-to-back 3s by Mayo cut Oklahoma City's lead to 81-72 and forced the Thunder to call timeout with 9:20 remaining. The Thunder regrouped and controlled the rest of the game. Durant and Ibaka left with 1:45 remaining and the Thunder leading 99-85.
Durant said it was good to be able to win ugly.
"It shows we can win different ways," he said. "We can play fast-paced, slow it down, win a sloppy game or a low-scoring game. Tonight, we didn't get down on ourselves and let it affect our defense. Everybody played hard."
NOTES: Milwaukee went scoreless for the final 5:09 of Friday night's 81-72 loss to Chicago and then missed its first 10 shots against Oklahoma City. ... The Thunder allowed 10 points in the first quarter, the fewest in a first quarter since the franchise moved to Oklahoma City in 2008. It also was the fewest the Thunder have allowed in any quarter this season. ... Thunder coach Scott Brooks said he never addressed Durant or the team about the incident involving Durant's Twitter account. Durant has said his account was hacked on Thursday and a photo of him smoking a hookah was sent out without his knowledge. ... Milwaukee's Larry Sanders was ejected for elbowing Steven Adams.

Extra co-host Maria Menounos stopped by Howard Stern's Sirius XM show yesterday, and as usually happens on his program, the conversation ended up getting very personal. After the subject of doctors came up, Menounos revealed she's had several awful experiences with male medical professionals including one in which she went in for a throat exam and the doctor touched her genitals.
Without any idea what to do, she apparently screamed but ultimately, decided not to press charges. According to E! Online, Stern then admitted his wife Beth Ostrosky too had a very uncomfortable experience with a male doctor but also decided not to push the matter any further.
In addition to the grossly over the line encounter she had at a young age, Menounos also revealed several male doctors have made comments about and touched her naval ring during examinations. That's why she now always brings her longtime boyfriend Kevin Undergaro into examination rooms as a matter of precaution.
Being at the doctor is an uncomfortable and vulnerable experience without any misbehavior. The patient is almost always on edge and frequently disrobed. Sometimes doctors make bad comments in order to try and put people at ease, and sometimes they really are creeps who need their medical licenses revoked. In recent years, many male doctors have begun bringing nurses into examination rooms for liability purposes, but the practice can also serve the patient's best interests as well.
