Robert and Ann Aikens of Bloomfield Hills have donated $7.5 million to the University of Michigan for a hybrid operating room at the newly renamed Samuel and Jean Frankel Cardiovascular Center.
Aikens, chairman of Robert B. Aikens & Associates LLC, a Birmingham-based commercial real estate development and management firm, told Crain's he donated the gift to advance cardiovascular care.
"I have a defective valve in my aorta, and that sharpens my interest" in aortic disease, said Aikens, who graduated from the University of Michigan Law School in 1954. "It is not the only reason I am supportive of this. Michigan doesn't have this, and it should have it at this time."
The Aikens' gift will allow the university to build a hybrid surgical suite, which combines radiology and surgery, that is expected to advance research toward curing aortic disease, said Kim Eagle, M.D., director of the cardiovascular center and Aikens' cardiologist.
"In order to offer this safe and more effective option, as well as attract industry partners, we must invest in facilities that provide flexible and complex operating space," Eagle said in a statement.
Two years ago, the Aikens donated $10 million to the law school to create the Robert B. Aikens Commons. The couple also has donated to UM's Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design, where Ann Aikens earned a bachelor of fine arts degree in 2002.
The Aikens' gift is part of UM's recently launched $4 billion Victors for Michigan fundraising campaign. One-quarter of the campaign is intended to support medical research, patient care and education.
Last year, the Samuel and Jean Frankel Foundation gave UM $25 million that allowed the cardiovascular center to be renamed in the late couple's honor. In 2007, the foundation gave an anonymous $25 million gift to the university to support cardiovascular care.
With the Aikens gift, the University of Michigan Health System will match the support for the capital project. The project is expected to be completed in 2015. It is UM's third hybrid operating room.
The project will enable minimally invasive repair of heart valves and treatment of arrhythmias, aortic aneurysms and coronary arteries. Recovery time is faster with less invasive procedures.
"Technology is changing how we think about and treat health problems," said G. Michael Deeb, M.D., a cardiac surgeon and director of UM's Multidisciplinary Aortic Clinic, in a statement.

About 1 in 5 people who take antibiotics develops diarrhea. Diarrhea
may develop while taking the antibiotic or shortly after finishing the
medicine. This diarrhea will usually go away completely several days after the
antibiotic is finished.
More than half of those who get diarrhea from taking an antibiotic
have a mild case that may clear up without treatment.
People who take antibiotics, including those who have been recently
hospitalized and received intravenous (IV) antibiotics, may develop diarrhea
caused by Clostridium difficile bacteria.
C. difficile can cause severe diarrhea, and the
infection and diarrhea may return after antibiotic treatment. Diarrhea caused
by this bacterium usually requires medical treatment.
If diarrhea develops while taking an antibiotic, contact the doctor to determine whether the medicine should be continued or another
medicine substituted. Do not stop the antibiotic abruptly.

Difference between revisions of "Sun Peaks"
Revision as of 15:21, 24 June 2008
Sun Peaks is a year-round resort town, located in the interior of British Columbia, Canada near Kamloops. It has 3678 acres of ski runs and 2891 vertical feet downhill on three mountains, which all lead to the resort village. Sun Peaks is known worldwide to have the best grooming in Western Canada and the best weather for skiing in Canada (with an average of over 2000 hours of sunshine per year). There is something to do there year-round for just about anyone. In the winter, there is, of course, the world-class skiing, as well as numerous other winter sports. In the summer, the area is transformed into a hiker's and biker's paradise, with mountain trails for adventurers of all levels of experience. There is also an 18-hole golf course at the resort, as well as numerous events and festivals, for those who wish to have a more "relaxed" vacation time in the mountains of BC.
The Sun Peaks ski resort currently consists of 3 mountains of ski runs; Tod Mountain (the original ski run), Sundance and Mount Morrisey. Sun Peaks resort was founded by Harry Burfield, and The Burfield Lodge and first chair-lift at Sun Peaks opened to the public in 1961. At the time, it was simply known as Tod Mountain. The lodge was damaged by fire in 1968 and remained closed to the public while it was being rebuilt. It opened again in December of 1970. Mr. Burfield died in a plane crash in 1971 while touring the mountain on which he founded the resort. The Shuswap Double Chair Lift was constructed in 1972, and the Crystal Triple Chair Lift was installed in 1979. A year later, in 1980, the Shuswap Day Lodge was built. In 1988, a 49 lot subdivision across from the Burfield Lodge began construction. That same year, a fire caused major damage to the top station of the Crystal Chair. In 1990, the paving of the road from Whitecroft Village to Tod Mountain was finished, and in 1992, Nippon Cable Company Ltd. of Tokyo, Japan (now known as Hi-Lex Corporation [1]) purchased Tod Mountain. There's much more in the recent history of Sun Peaks, and you can read about it here: [2] Sun Peaks Resort was the first ski resort in North America and is the only resort in Canada to receive the ISO 14001 designation recognizing the resorts environmental policies and practices.
Sun Peaks gets an average annual snowfall of 220 in (or more than 18ft) (559 cm / 5.5 m) The resort village is at an elevation of 4117ft (1255m) above sea level, and the top lift elevation is 6824ft (2080m). The yearly average temperature is 22F (-6C), with highs in the winter around the freezing mark and lows around 14F (-10C). In the summer, the high temperatures average around 67F (13C), but can reach up into the high 80's (F) (20's C). The resort is probably known as "Sun" Peaks because it averages over 2000 hours of sunlight annually.
Get in
By plane
Sun Peaks can be accessed easily from either of two airports:
By train
By car
Sun Peaks can be reached from almost any direction on major highways. Here's a list of travel times from several major centers nearby:
By bus
Get around
Sun Peaks is a pretty small town. There's no need of a car or taxi to get around. Everything is easily accessible on foot or on bike (in the summer).
Aside from the skiing in the winter months, no one really does anything else in Sun Peaks from about October to March. There are a couple of art galleries nearby in Kamloops to visit that are open year-round though:
There is, of course, the splendid scenery in and around Sun Peaks to see year-round. Since it's right in the heart of the Rocky Mountains, the scenery couldn't be much more spectacular. In the summer, you can hike and bike on trails on the mountains, and in the winter, you can ski on them. What more could you ask for as far as beautiful views in and of the mountains?
Sun Peaks has no shortage of activities for you to take part in. There are lots of things to do year-round, for people of all levels of physical ability, as well as just relaxing around a hot tub. Below, there is a list based on the time of year, as well as a few things to do at Sun Peaks year-round.
Winter activities at Sun Peaks are many and varied. Aside from downhill and cross-country skiing and snowboarding on the many public ski runs and trails on any of the three mountains, there are many other things to do at the resort. Here's a short list:
Sun Peaks, being a resort village, has many shops and stores that cover everything from clothing and sportswear to artwork by local artists, to gourmet chocolate, to gifts. There is also a new 3500 sq ft grocery store for your everyday needs while staying at Sun Peaks. It would be hard to list every shop at Sun Peaks here, so again, I suggest you Google "shopping at Sun Peaks" or visit one of the many sites devoted to Sun Peaks that will have lists of shops, and links to their websites.
Employment at Sun Peaks is mainly found at the ski hills, as a ski instructor, tour guide, hill groomer, etc. There are plenty of jobs at the hotels, and at local stores and shops as well as local services like firefighting, garbage collection, etc. Jobs at Sun Peaks are fairly hard to come by, as the competition is fierce among students. There are also Okanagan University College in Kelowna and Thompson Rivers University in Kamloops, where one might find employment in the area. Sun Peaks resort also offers internships to those that are taking hotel management or hospitality courses at college, and apprenticeship programs in electrical, carpentry, plumbing, and mechanics; again, to those who are taking such a course at college already.
10-digit dialling is mandatory in British Columbia, and the area code for Sun Peaks is 250, which is the same as Vancouver Island. The Greater Vancouver area uses the area code 604. Recently, the area code 778 was added to all regions of the province to make up for a looming shortage of phone numbers in the area.

Skiing, Snowboarding Highlight Day 11 of 2014 Sochi Olympics
(Programming note: For highlights and online coverage of the 2014 winter games, log on to KOMU 8's Olympic Zone.)
This event features a redemption opportunity as Dutch star Sven Kramer looks to win the gold medal that would have been his in Vancouver if not for a lane violation resulting from a mistake by his coach.
Reigning Olympic champion Bill Demong hopes for an encore performance to his historic victory in Vancouver, when he became the first American gold medalist in nordic combined. The U.S. could also have contenders in the steadily improving Fletcher brothers - Bryan and Taylor, a 2010 Olympian. The favorite is likely Germany's Eric Frenzel, who won the K-95 normal hill event last Wednesday.
Eighteen-year-old American phenom Mikaela Shiffrin makes her Olympic debut in the giant slalom. Julia Mancuso, who won this event in Torino, will also vie for a medal.
The Olympic debut of men's halfpipe brings an American rivalry to the world stage. David Wise, a 23-year-old married father, and Torin Yater-Wallace, an 18-year-old upstart, traded off victories at major events last season and should be jostling for the top spot in Sochi.
Seth Wescott, the only Olympic champion since snowboard cross joined the program in Torino, did not make the U.S. team after an April knee injury, so seven-time X Games champion Nate Holland, who was a bitter fourth in Vancouver, will lead the strong American effort.
A 2010 Olympic bronze medalist as a brakeman, Elana Meyers is now in the driver's seat and has positioned herself as a top medal threat in Sochi. The 29-year-old from Georgia, whose father played for the Atlanta Falcons, was offered college scholarships in four different sports but now serves as the unofficial leader of a diverse and athletic women's bobsled team. This event also features track Olympians Lolo Jones and Lauryn Williams.
Short track's wild relay race puts 16 skaters on the ice at the same time, as four countries vie for three spots on the podium. Canada, China and South Korea are the top contenders for women's relay gold.

[UPDATE: Brendan is launching a new site soon over at GamesMoviesDeals.com. They're taking on some staff too, so take a look at how to apply.]
All good things must come to an end, and Dealspwn is no exception. We'll get right to the point - today is our last day of operation. While it is sad that we will be no more, there's no denying that we've had a fantastic run since we began in 2009. We've covered some utterly brilliant (and frankly terrible) games during that time, built up a fantastic community that has engaged and entertained us, and we saved you all a few pennies here and there.
Or sent out back the way of Old Yeller. I'm not sure how the internet actually works.Click here to read more...
At one point, I thought that 2015 wasn't going to be a great year for games, but boy was I wrong. Regardless of whatever system you owned, there was something for everyone to enjoy (even the Vita, provided you liked your Japanese imports). It certainly made choosing winners for some of these categories more challenging, that for sure. Anyway, enough banter - here are my picks for this year and the next. Enjoy!
I appreciate this won't be for everyone, but Life Is Strange resonated with me in a rather surprising way. There were some utterly cringe-worthy moments, both in terms of the over-exaggerated Americana vibe and some of the utterly ridiculous dialogue (it was hella bad, y'all) but I got really invested in Max's adventure. There were honestly times when I forgot there was a paranormal sub-plot to it all, as I was getting really invested in the characters.
More importantly, it was something that I played with my other half, as both of us agonised over the choices to be made (and, for the record, she chose poorly. Many times.) Admittedly, I did have some issues with way it ended, but the overall journey was something I would very much like DONTNOD to return to again. In short, if you liked adventure games and fancy something new, you should absolutely give this one a look.
So, that was 2015. I've reviewed a tonne of games this year and there's plenty to choose from when asked to pick out some favourites. So here are some of the best, the worst and the most memorable moments and games from 2015. There's also a look ahead to 2016's games.
Man this was a busy category. But ultimately I had to be strict. Bloodborne is a bit too close to Dark Souls to be genuinely considered as a fully new IP. Rocket League is a sequel to the disastrously named Supersonic Acrobatic Rocket-Powered Battle-Cars. If Nintendo hadn't shot themselves in the foot by announcing the NX and killing my desire to buy a Wii U and enjoy some colourful rumblings with Splatoon, I might have gone that way. Lego Dimensions blew it by locking most of its £90 game behind multiple paywalls. Life is Strange was a genuine contender, but that ridiculous release schedule ruined the pacing and the hipster vibe made me want to tear off my own face a little bit too much for comfort.
Anyways, enough apologising, Until Dawn is a worthy winner. It should have been awful, especially after such a prolonged development, but the teen horror version of Heavy Rain was bags of fun. The interactive nature gave the player unprecedented control over the lives of the cast, meaning you could often kill off any characters that got on your nerves. The story could have been pants, but it finely balanced a mix of slasher movie scares with a supernatural twist that gelled together far better than expected. So much more than Hayden Panettiere in a towel. But that too. Until Dawn Review - A night to remember.Click here too see Brendan's other picks.
You can now pick up the standalone DLC, Infamous: First Light for just £4.99.
All done with Infamous: Second Son? Well, if you enjoyed the neon powers, you should check out the First Light DLC which delves into Fetch's backstory in and around Seattle. You don't even need the original game to play this standalone DLC. Hell, you could even play this first and then buy the main game if you've not played it yet. A guaranteed blast whichever way you approach it.
The Wolf Among Us is amongst Telltale's finest in their long history of interactive drama titles. This £7.99 PSN offer is the way to go as the physical version is about £15.
The story features a cast of fairy tale characters who are struggling to get by in a dark, 80s New York setting. Think a grimy noir version of Once Upon a Time with a murder investigation. Despite those trademark Telltale technical glitches, The Wolf Among Us is an essential purchase and exceeds the studios' previous efforts in gameplay, visuals and voice acting. The impact of choices you make in interrogations, conversations and crime scene investigations will keep you hooked right until the end.
You can now pick up one of 2014's highlights, Far Cry 4: Limited Edition, for just £16.28 on PS4.
Far Cry 4 takes the action to the Himalayas and once again proves to be one of the greatest names in open-world gaming. Admittedly, many of the mechanics are the same as FC3, but the new setting makes everything feel fresh enough to dive back in. Plus you get to ride elephants into fortresses or play in co-op with a pal controlling the gyrocopter. PS4 owners will find some 'Keys to Kryat', DLC codes* to give to their friends so they can play co-op with them for a few hours, without even owning the game.
£13.95 for a new copy of Sunset Overdrive is a great deal, especially seeing as it's cheaper than the best preowned prices around too.
Jon highly rated Insomniac's Xbox One debut in his Sunset Overdrive review: Sunset Overdrive brings the fun. Though Insomniac's inexperience with open-world games leads to inconsistent mission design and a few oversights, its infectious energy, breathtaking traversal, silly weapons and violently colourful playground make for a brilliant way to blow off steam.
This sold out long before launch at most retailers and hasn't been seen since. Well aside from the ludicrously priced scalper appearances on ebay. So, £59.95 for the Xbox One version is an astonishing deal. The PS4 version is in stock too, albeit at £87.95, but that's still a great price compared to what we've seen before.
Carl's epic review can be found below. Be sure to take a look at Carl's Silent Hills comparison piece too.
Looking to save an extra few quid on Arkham Knight on PS4? Base.com have a great deal running right now for just £19.99, including the Harley Quinn DLC.
Is it any good? Well, here's a short version of my review: "Rocksteady and Batman is a combination we'll sorely miss. Their trilogy ends on a high though, with a refinement of their excellent Freeflow combat and Predator modes. The Batmobile is a somewhat mixed experience, but its heart is in the right place. Our much-awaited tour of the city of Gotham was a gorgeous sight to behold and an unforgettable goodbye." Be sure to check out these articles too: Batman: Arkham Knight's Batmobile - Brilliant fun or a legacy betrayed? and Why Rocksteady quitting Batman after Arkham Knight is the right choice. Or maybe The Art of Rocksteady's Batman: Arkham Asylum, Arkham City & Arkham Knight (Book Review).
Bought an Xbox One, but just want to play old games? Well, you may as well play through some old favourites with Halo: The Master Chief Collection, which is now available from just £15 preowned if pop into your local Cex store. Or get it delivered for £17.50.
This collection includes the Anniversary editions of Halo and Halo 2, Halo 3 and Halo 4. Add in a 60 frames per second makeover and multiplayer modes that involve over 100 maps. Mmm, that's a lot of maps. The multiplayer has been a bit inconsistent online so far, but a massive update has fixed most of the issues, so maybe it's finally safe to get involved.
The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask 3D is just £22 today, which is a fantastic price, especially if you're a new 3DS owner looking to bulk up your collection.
With the remake of Ocarina of Time being such a hit, we were eager to snap this one up too. Not so much for the 3D, more for the awesome game given an extra layer of polish. Seriously, N64 games do not look good on your TV nowadays. What better way to celebrate picking up the New 3DS model too. If you're yet undecided on buying one, be sure to check out Jon's New 3DS review.
Been waiting for a hot deal for The Elder Scrolls Online: Tamriel Unlimited on PC? This £7.59 deal is currently the cheapest price around. To get a 5% discount, go to the retailer's Facebook page and click the link. You don't have to enter an email address, just enter any text and press enter for a code.
Don't worry about online subscription fees, they were dropped long ago for this title. There's plenty to do in the main game, but when you're done, take a look at the Imperial City DLC. Still not sure? Take a look at Jon's console review.
Battlefield 4 had a rough start, but after extensive patch fixes it's a formidable shooter in the online arena. £8.54 is an outstanding price and I'd recommend these large scale battles over Hardline's more cramped shoot outs.
Post patches, Battlefield 4 stands tall as one of the finest multiplayer experience around. The battlefields are huge and the vehicles add a fun element that makes the series stand out from the crowd. Choppers, tanks, ATVs, boats and jeeps are all available. Although if you're ever playing with me, never get in the chopper if I'm flying it - we're going down upside down into the sea within seconds! Take a look at my PS4 review here. The newer Hardline, has a much better campaign mode and some fun multiplayer, but B4's epic scale of warfare makes it the clear winner for multiplayer fans.
Thanks to VanDamage.
Much like finding a great deal on a TV series boxset, Beyond: Two Souls is certainly worth a look at this price. Mainly because you'll spend more time watching than playing.
Despite the generally passive nature of the experience, I enjoyed the story because the acting from the two leads of Ellen Page and Willem DaFoe is excellent throughout. Player choices don't have the same major impacts as Heavy Rain, but fans of Quantic Dream's efforts won't find a cheaper price than this today. It's certainly better value than shelling out for the new PS4 version.
If you've been waiting for the right time to pounce on a DriveClub deal, now's the time. This PSN offer sees the full game and the Season Pass selling for just £9.99 if you're a PS+ member.
Sony and Evolution Studios have been hard at work since launch and the game's online issues (it was practically impossible to get online for the first two weeks) have been patched, meaning this is much closer to the driving game that was originally promised. The track design is exceptional both in terms of layout and visual class. Loading times for the single-player races are super fast too. The handling can be a mixed bag and the penalty system takes a while to adjust to, but this is well worth a look and setting online challenges for other users is competitive bliss. Later patches have also included rainy weather effects (I've never seen better) and there are a few extra events and vehicles available for free in the store too.
Thanks to Chanchi32.
While we have seen this for slightly cheaper in the past, this is the lowest price at the time of writing by around a fiver. While it was ultimately a little short, what was there was a delightful cross between Fez and Screwball Scramble. In short, it's yet another title you really should have for your Wii U. Thanks to Gamer_U @ HUKD!
Be sure to check out our Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker review for more details.
With the next best offer for a copy on Xbox One being over £10 more expensive, this offer is certainly worth highlighting. With the latest squad listings and all manner of graphical improvements, the big new additions this time around are the FUT Draft mode, an improved Career mode, tutorial indicators for newcomers, and the inclusion of international female players. Cheers to Buzz for the heads-up!
All was not lost for the Assassin's Creed brand last year. Ubisoft Sofia provided an excellent sequel to Black Flag and £7 is a very reasonable price for the PS3 version.
Compared to Unity, this is a masterpiece The combat's not broken, there's a rich and varied world to explore and yes, ruddy big pirate ships are back in. If you had fun with Captain Kenway, you should snap this one right up. Check out my Sunday Seven which sings the game's praises compared to Unity.
Thanks to dwor.
Been waiting for a hot deal for The Elder Scrolls Online: Tamriel Unlimited on PS4 and Xbox One? This excellent price is the best I've seen and comfortably cheaper than the competition. It also comes with some extra in-game currency.
Don't worry about online subscription fees, they were dropped long ago for this title. There's plenty to do in the main game, but when you're done, take a look at the Imperial City DLC. Still not sure? Take a look at Jon's console review.
Thanks to BuzzDuraband.
Wolfenstein: The New Order on PS4 and Xbox One is super hot for £10, especially for the Occupied Edition, which comes with a 20-page tour guide of occupied Britain and some postcards. You'll find an invite to the upcoming Doom beta too. This is currently a few quid cheaper than the standard version.
Wolfenstein: The New Order was a good shout for Game of the Year in 2014 thanks to it providing a classic bombastic old school shooter experience. There's an outstanding stealth game in there too if you fancy being a bit sneaky. Fantastic replay value is offered by multiple routes, unique skills and loads of treasure to reclaim from the Nazis. The story is way better than I expected too, with a pleasing mix of emotions and grin-inducing one liners. More of this please!
Thanks to BuzzDuraband.

John K. McVay, dean of the Seventh-day Adventist Theological Seminary (SDATS), recently announced that he has accepted the position of president of Walla Walla College (WWC) in College Place, Washington. WWC's current president, Jon Dybdahl, will retire this summer.
McVay brought his wife, Pam, and their two children - Marshall (now 18) and Macy (now 14) - to Berrien Springs in 1998 when he joined the Seminary faculty as associate dean of SDATS and professor of New Testament before becoming dean in 2000.
"Our eight years here at Andrews and the Seminary have been very good ones for us," said McVay. "We are experiencing a deep and palpable sense of loss even as we embrace the promise of our new assignment and acknowledge God's leading in it."
Prior to coming to Andrews, McVay served as a pastor in Iowa and Georgia, as well as professor, chair of the religion department, and, for a time, senior pastor at Pacific Union College in Angwin, Calif.
McVay received his BA in theology from Southern Adventist University in 1980, and his master of divinity from Andrews University in 1983. In 1995, he received his PhD in New Testament studies from the University of Sheffield, England.
In a recent release from the WWC board chair, Jere Patzer stated that, "we are pleased that John McVay has accepted our invitation to become the 23rd president of Walla Walla College. He is recognized around the world as a scholar, theologian, administrator and committed Adventist Christian. McVay and his wife, Pam, will represent WWC with distinction on campus as well as to our various constituencies.

Encourage W/VE stations to expand knowledge of DX propagation on the HF and MF bands, improve operating skills, and improve station capability by creating a competition in which DX stations may only contact W/VE stations.
W/VE amateurs work as many DX stations in as many DXCC entities as possible on the 160, 80, 40, 20, 15, and 10 meter bands.
DX stations work as many W/VE stations in as many of the 48 contiguous states and provinces as possible.
Video: KA4UDX operating on 40 Meters (7 Mhz band) in ARRL DX Contest. Notice the level of QRM (A Q Signal indicating "being interfered with…") – interference from other stations, etc. Also notice stations operating split-frequency rather than 1 single frequency. Quite a bit of skill and capability are required to do all of this. The S/N – Signal to Noise Ratio is from bad to terrible. An average Cell phone and MP3 weaned person would probably "hang up" and give up. Not ham radio operators! It is these skills that allow them to get a message through, for example in an emergency, when conditions are quite a bit less than favorable. This also hones skills in Radio Propagation … as these signals are bounced off the upper atmosphere (Ionosphere) and certain bands work at certain times of day or night.
Lots and lots of Ham Radio (Amateur Radio) operators in the U.S. and around the world will be transmitting radio signals in an effort to contact as many other operators / stations DX (far away, non-local) as possible.
The ARRL International DX Contest starts tonight at 7 pm Eastern Time ( 00:00 Zulu) or Universal Time Coordinated 00:00 until 23:59 Zulu on Sunday – Ham radio operators will be operating between 100 watts and one Kilowatt this weekend. Between 1.8 and 30 Mhz. There will likely be more signals – more RF on the air waves than other times of the year.
Actually you will be quite safe … less danger than the Myan end of world this year. Most signals will go over your head at relatively high angles and those that come down will be at low enough of a dBm (signal strength) to not bother you.

The two men hid in the pinions and rocks watching the posse form and the search begin. In the photo below you can see the courthouse in the center of the picture viewed from the hill.
Christison and Sweeny walked south along the hills. Below Nathrop they crossed the river again and continued walking to Thomas Cameron's ranch near Salida, where they were captured early the next morning.
Today the area where Ernest and Albert Sweeny crossed the river is a park. There is a footbridge across the Arkansas and hiking trails up the hill. John and I walked up the trail to experience a little of what Ernest did. Can't imagine crossing the river with the ice and cold. My feet would be blue for a week! It was easy to picture Ernest and Albert scrambling up the hill during their get-away. It was 25 degrees when John and I visited on Friday, the 29th. There was a fresh layer of snow on the ground from the night before. Luckily for Ernest and Albert there wasn't any new snow in 1884!

Just in case a small patch of your thick skin still hasn't numbed to the idea that some professional athletes use performancing-enhancing drugs, the Miami New Times reported today that Alex Rodriguez, Yasmani Grandal, Gio Gonzalez, Melky Cabrera, Bartolo Colon and Nelson Cruz are listed as clients of a Miami clinic that distributes illegal PEDs.
Rodriguez and Gonzalez – whose father did admit to purchasing weight-loss products from the clinic – have already denied any connection to the clinic's former proprietor, Tony Bosch.
Major League Baseball will have the final say. The league is investigating the matter and suspensions could be levied if the apparent PED use can be proven. Cabrera, Colon and Grandal were all suspended 50 games for violating MLB's drug policy at some point last year. Gonzalez, Rodriguez and Cruz have never been penalized for PED use.
Regardless of the outcome, this story represents another wrinkle in the never-ending game of cat and mouse that exists among athletes seeking an edge, the PED suppliers who enable them, and the sports and government authorities charged with policing this activity.
Even if you're numb to this plot, give it a read. The level of journalism is excellent, and there's tremendous value in weeding out another hub for illegal drug distribution – regardless of whether the clientele is famous or not.
There is a Dodgers connection. You might recall Bosch's name from 2010, when Manny Ramirez was suspended 50 games by Major League Baseball for testing positive for the women's fertility drug HCG. Bosch's clinic was the supplier of Ramirez's HCG.
As the author, Tim Elfrink, concludes: "Indeed, there are two patterns to the names of athletes in Bosch's records: (1) Most have direct ties to Miami and often to the UM Hurricanes baseball program, and (2) a number have already been caught doping — which suggests that either Bosch isn't particularly gifted at crafting drugs that can beat performance tests or his clients aren't careful."

More news about: Colby
Oct 26, 2013
WATERVILLE, Maine --- The Colby College football team got past step one in a bid for the Colby-Bates-Bowdoin (CBB) title Saturday with a convincing 21-3 victory over Bates College at Seaverns Field at Harold Alfond Stadium on Family Homecoming Weekend.
Colby improved to 3-3 overall and has won two straight games heading into next Saturday's 12:30 p.m. home game with Tufts University. Bates dropped to 2-4 overall and will play host to Bowdoin College at 12:30 p.m. in the second CBB game. The Mules visit Bowdoin in two weeks and will win their first outright CBB title since 2005 with a victory.
After falling 31-6 in Lewiston last year and watching Bates go on to win the CBB title, Colby was in command from start to finish Saturday.
First-year running back Carl Lipani (North Reading, Mass.) had two of Colby's three touchdowns and quarterback Justin Ciero (Chappaqua, N.Y.) ran for the other score.
While Colby scored three times on rushing plays, it was Bates which came into the game ranked first in the New England Small College Athletic Conference in rushing at 245 yards per game on the ground.
Colby's defense, led by 25th-year defensive coordinator Tom Dexter, was up to the task of stopping the run. The Mules held the Bobcats to just 88 yards rushing and a 1.9-yard per rush average. Meanwhile, Colby ran for 170 yards and a 4.5-yard average.
After the Mules stopped Bates with a three-and-out on the opening drive of the game, Colby scored immediately on its first possession. Ciero helped set up the touchdown with an 18-yard run when he escaped a near sack on the play. Lipani went 49 yards for the score, diving forward into the end zone after being slightly tripped by a Bates tackler around the 3-yard line.
The game slowed down and the punters took over for a good portion of the first quarter. Bates got on the scoreboard in the second quarter with a 31-yard field goal by Charlie Donahue (Plymouth, N.H.). The Bobcats, struggling to run the ball, used two big pass plays on the drive of 41 and 35 yards to Ryan Curit (South Portland, Maine) from quarterback Nick LaSpada (Billerica, Mass.).
Colby took any momentum away from the Bobcats by driving right down the field for a second touchdown. Ciero found first-year Ryder Arsenault (New Hampton, N.H.) down the right sideline for 51 yards past Colby's bench to the Bates' 6-yard line. On the next play, Lipani went up the middle from 6 yards out for his second score.
The Mules took a 14-3 lead into intermission and then used a big special teams play to set up their final touchdown. Colby punter Louw Scheepers (San Diego, Calif.) capped a solid day of kicking with a 45-yard boot that went out of bounds at the Bates' 1-yard line.
The Bobcats quickly went three-and-out and actually lost one-half yard, forcing punter David Kurey (West Chester, Pa.) to kick from the back of the end zone. Zach Padula (Coventry, R.I.) had a 5-yard return for Colby to the Bates' 25-yard line.
Colby wasted no time in going up 21-3, scoring on the first play of the drive. Ciero ran off the left side of the line and was able to use his speed to go right up the middle of the field for the score.
Ciero ran 21 times for 87 yards (4.1 per rush) and had 165 yards of passing. Lipani had a 6.8-yard per rush average on his 10 carries for 68 yards. Arsenault had 100 yards of receiving on four catches, while Luke Duncklee (Augusta, Maine) had five catches for 60 yards and ran three times for 14 yards.
Curit had 82 yards receiving on three catches and led the ground game with 38 yards rushing. LaSpada threw for 176 yards.
Colby's Stephen O'Grady (North Andover, Mass.) and Henry Nelson (Redding, Conn.) both had nine tackles. Mule co-captain Daniel Maddox (Bedford, N.H.) added seven tackles and one of Colby's three interceptions. Tony Atkinson (Bethesda, Md.) had six tackles, CT Harris (Canaan, N.H.) had five tackles and one sack, and Jason Buco (Metheun, Mass.) and Mark Vargas (Coventry, R.I.) also had interceptions.
Andrew Kukesh (Exeter, N.H.) had a game-high 10 tackles, including two for loss, for the Bobcats. Ryan Newson (Stanhope, N.J.) added nine tackles, Steven Hild (West Hartford, Conn.) had five stops, and Gilbert Brown (Gloucester, Mass.) had one interception and five tackles.
Scheepers had five of his seven punts go inside the 20-yard line and also had four kickoffs for a 62.8-yard average (one touchback).

I have only been riding on R3 700x32s for a little over a month. I feel they're too slow in comparison to 700x23c tires that I have been riding on for 6 years. Considering switching to R3 700x23s.
I've been a fan of the R3 since it came out. I typically get one flat every 2-3,000 miles, and never a blowout. Confidence-inspiring on descents. I own a shop; I can ride any tire I want. Many companies would give me tires for free. I actually pay for these. My only complaint is their lifespan; tire wear is greatly accelerated when you ride in the hills, and that's the only riding I do. I'll get about 1500 miles out of a rear tire; a lighter rider in less-challenging terrain will do better.
My wife and I went tubeless using the R3. Within 2 months we had 3 flats between us and the tires were damaged enough that we had to get 2 new tires to remain tubeless. I use this bike to compete in triathlons, so I have switched to another tire brand, I just don't trust these tires. I have a new set of tires to put on my wife's bike also. Tubeless might be okay, but not these tires.
The only tire I have been using, so not a lot of rereference. I do 2500km with the back tire and I am 87kg and the roads I ride are not always the best. I only have flats near the end of the tire's life. I can't really evaluate the traction, I feel very confident riding the bike.
These tires came with a new Madone 5.2. They have lasted for 3800mi with the cord just starting to show through. I had no flats even with the high mileage and all of the stuff that I have ran over on the road. The tires have a lot of grip and I always had confidence in high speed cornering with them. Last year I used Bontrager R1 tires and had to replace them every 1500mi due to excessive wear, so these have been a big improvement. I would highly recommend these tires
Overall, I was not impressed with the Bontager R3 due to the many flats encountered during cycling. I am an avid cyclist of approximately 1000-1500 km a month during the summer, most of my riding is on the pavement with about 5 percent on dirt/gravel/rough roads. I have had many other tires and encountered flats approximately 1 or 2 times during the typical 3500km lifespan. These R3 tires I was encountering flats especially on the back tire every 250km. I even put stronger/thicker tubes and helped slightly but still created grief. I put these tires in the garbage can after only 1500km. I am about 195 lbs. and a strong cyclist so weight and power perhpas to much for this lightweight tire of approximately 200 grams. The R1 tire came as factory on my Trek Domane bike and had much better success. These R3 tires are lightweight and fast and would only recommend these on paved roads with very little debris. I'm not road racing and value puncture resistance higher than speed. There are better tires out there.

The Alpine CDE-102 CD receiver is about as entry level as car stereos come these days. It plays CDs and that's about it...or is it?
As it turns out, even an entry-level car stereo can hide a few tricks up its sleeve. For example, the Alpine can playback digital media from its optical drive and a USB port on the faceplate.
As a single-DIN car stereo receiver, the Alpine CDE-102 doesn't have very much faceplate real estate to work with and, as a result, its interface emphasizes efficiency over aesthetics.
The Alpine has the bulk of its controls on the left end of the faceplate, nearest to the driver. A bank of four blue buttons for source/power, band (AM/FM), skip forward, and skip backward highlight the most commonly used functions.
Next, a metallic knob with a rubber grip twists to control the volume and can be pressed like a button to cycle through basic audio adjustments for bass, treble, balance, and fader.
To the right of the volume knob are two buttons: a telephone/voice dial button that does nothing out of the box and a sound/setup button. Below the volume knob are three buttons for mute, search, and play/pause. Pressing the search button changes these three buttons' functions to back, escape, and enter, respectively, and changes the volume button into a scroll wheel.
Beneath the exposed CD slot, a monochromatic single-line LCD screen occupies the bulk of the faceplate. Users can alternate between displaying artist, title, album, file name, or folder name, but not at the same time. The display can only show 10 characters at a time, so long titles will have to scroll.
To the far right of the screen is a USB port with a rubber cover and a 1/8-inch analog auxiliary input. Many people may like the front USB port for easy access and simpler installation, but we're not fans of cables hanging around the cabin or having our USB thumbdrive sticking out into the air where it could be accidentally smacked and broken off. A USB pigtail that could be hidden in the center console or glove compartment would be a much more elegant solution.
Lining the bottom of the display are secondary function buttons for radio presets, repeat, shuffle, and a view button that cycles through display information.
The faceplate is detachable for security and stores in a hard plastic case. On the rear of the unit, you will find a standard wiring harness, an antenna connection, Alpine's proprietary Bluetooth module connection cable, and a pair of stereo RCA preamp outputs. The first output is a full-range front channel; the second output can be switched between full-range rear channel or low-pass filter subwoofer output.
The Alpine CDE-102 starts with playback of AM/FM radio and Red Book audio CDs then adds MP3/WMA/AAC playback to the mix. Users are also able to feed their media to the unit via USB port.

Associate Professor—Johnson
B.A. in Comparative Literature
Minor in Comparative Literature
M.A. in Comparative Literature
Comparative literature is a way of studying world literature. It is a literary discipline designed to go beyond the chronological, geographic, and linguistic boundaries of individual national literatures.
Undergraduate Program. The B.A. in Comparative Literature is an interdisciplinary program which provides students with a global perspective through the reading and analysis of national literatures. Students develop university-level understanding of what different cultures have in common as well as what makes each culture unique. The study of comparative literature also seeks to establish relationships between literature and other fields, from the arts and sciences to folklore and religion. In addition to courses in various national literatures in translation, as well as in English literature, students also learn the methods and techniques of literary analysis and comparison.
Graduate Program. The M.A. in Comparative Literature combines the objectives of graduate study in foreign languages and literature with an emphasis on the intercultural and international aspects of literature. The goal of the program is to provide graduate training in subjects common to more than one national literature. Research work in the program is directed toward the problems of literary theory and analysis, genre studies, and literary history.
The undergraduate degree in comparative literature is designed for students who wish to gain an interdisciplinary and broad liberal arts education. The undergraduate degree also provides a sound foundation for students who wish to continue work in comparative literature at the graduate level. Students find that the program provides a rich background for teaching in the humanities, liberal arts, and foreign languages and literature, as well as for other varied careers.
The M.A. in Comparative Literature is of particular value for students who intend to pursue a doctoral degree in comparative literature or in a foreign language and literature, or who plan to teach literature at the K-12 or community college levels.
Advising. To ensure adequate planning of a student's program, all majors must consult an advisor regularly throughout their undergraduate years. Students who are interested in pursuing a teaching credential in English with a comparative literature emphasis in addition to the B.A. in Comparative Literature should consult the credential requirements section in this Bulletin and meet with an adviser in the Department of Comparative and World Literature.
Student Portfolio. Following departmental guidelines, all students will complete a portfolio prior to graduation.
All comparative literature majors must have reading competence for literature written in at least one language in addition to English. Most students will fulfill this requirement by successfully completing an adviser-approved course on literature written in another language. The requirement may also be met by examination when there are no appropriate courses available.
Students are advised to take CWL 400 as early as possible in the major. On-line course descriptions are available.
|Core Courses
|Approaches to Comparative Literature
|Units selected from CWL courses on advisement. Each course must involve comparison of literary texts from more than one national/linguistic tradition; e.g., CWL 420, Studies in Comparative Literature; CWL 430, Heroic Tales of the Mediterranean. One course may be a lower-division CWL course.
|Program Electives
|These courses must be chosen in consultation with an adviser. They may be from a program other than CWL and must fulfill minimum distribution requirements (courses may satisfy more than one distribution requirement):
|2 courses in a non-English literary tradition
|2 courses in a second national/linguistic literary tradition
|2 courses focusing on literature written before 1800 (must differ in period or literary tradition)
|1 course in a literature "less commonly experienced" in the student's academic preparation (e.g., African, African American, Asian American, Chinese, Israeli, Japanese, Raza, Lesbian/Gay, Latin American), not part of the focus
|4 courses in a student-defined area of focus or an organizing principle
|Minimum total
NOTE: Up to nine units in lower-division CWL courses only may be used toward the total units; all other courses must be upper-division courses.
All comparative literature minors are urged to acquire reading competence in at least one language in addition to English.
|Approaches to Comparative Literature
|Units selected from CWL courses on advisement. Each course must involve comparison of literary texts from more than one national/linguistic tradition; e.g., CWL 420, Studies in Comparative Literature; CWL 430, Heroic Tales of the Mediterranean. One course may be an appropriate lower-division CWL course.
|Program Electives
|Units selected on advisement from upper-division literature courses that combine a sense of the historic, linguistic, and critical breadth of literary studies with a student-defined area of focus that fits within the general discipline of comparative literature. Courses may be from a program other than CWL.
NOTE: Up to six units of lower-division CWL courses only may be used toward the minor; all other courses must be upper division.
Students interested in this program must:
Students with grade or subject matter deficiency may be admitted conditionally and achieve classified status as follows: after appropriate consultation with a graduate adviser, the student will be directed toward courses, totaling 6-12 units, some of which may apply to the M.A., and in which the student must achieve a grade of B (3.0) or better. All conditions must be satisfied before students submit the Graduate Approved Program (GAP).
Level One: satisfactory performance on first substantial research paper in student's first departmental graduate seminar, as determined by the instructor in consultation with the Comparative Literature Graduate Committee. If any deficiency is found, the student may be required to take remedial course work and to resubmit the research paper to the instructor and the committee. Level Two: satisfactory completion of the master's thesis or substantial research paper in the final departmental graduate seminar, if the student chooses the oral examination as the culminating experience.
Besides meeting all general requirements for advancement to candidacy, applicants must complete successfully, with a grade of B or higher, the course CWL 800, Introduction to Graduate Study, in which ability to do critical writing will be demonstrated.
Student Portfolio. Following departmental guidelines, all students will complete a portfolio prior to graduation.
On-line course descriptions are available. Upper division courses offered by the department may be used upon approval of a faculty adviser.

Bittersweet – sad to see the lazy days of summer go and yet looking forward to getting everyone back into a working routine again.

So whether you have children at home to enjoy them with or just want to indulge by yourself - here are a few ideas to satisfy your cookie craving. Don't forget the milk! (Click the titles next to the photo to get the recipes).
Lemon Gems – My Dad once said after biting into these – "It's like biting into sunshine…" For sure this is a great tasting little cookie – EASY for the inexperienced baker and QUICK for the busy baker - how could that be possible? Well the secret ingredient is a cake mix.
Kristina's Peanut Butter Cookies – no added fat and very little flour –a great cookie. A family favorite at our house.
Suzanne's Sugar Cookies – the classic frosted sugar cookie. These are so good – my sister's recipe.
Kristina's Monster Cookies – peanut butter, oatmeal and pops of chocolate. NO FLOUR.
Cake Mix Chocolate Crinkle Cookies – inspired by the Lemon Gems recipe – it starts with a cake mix.
Chocolate Polka Dot Cookies – for the chocolate lover. Chocolate base with white chocolate chips.
Orange Slices Candy Cookies – use up those orange slices candy from making the Jams we have posted in the canning section of our website.
Easy Monster Cookies – this was shared with me by a client of mine who enjoys making these with her very young girls.
Charlie's Chocolate Cookies – an EASY NO BAKE cookie.
Oatmeal Scotchies – the traditional oatmeal cookie with a butterscotch twist.

The picket line outside the Secaucus, N.J., Walmart at 1 p.m. on Black Friday was joyous, festive and celebratory. The sousaphonist from the Rude Mechanical Orchestra had the slogan "Stand Up, Live Better" around the rim of his instrument, and banners declared solidarity with the striking Walmart workers and support for union rights. They called on the world's largest private employer to pay its workers a living wage and stop retaliation — the firing or punishing of workers who speak out about their working conditions. The crowd sang "Solidarity Forever" in all its glory, shaking fists at the "greedy parasites."
At least as far as I could tell, though, there were no striking workers at this particular Walmart.
Around the country, hundreds of Walmart workers walked off the job on Black Friday, the notorious shopping day after Thanksgiving. Organizers say that a hundred cities saw strikers and a thousand total protests were held, covering all but four states, in an escalation of an ongoing campaign led by the Organization United for Respect at Walmart (OUR Walmart). They drew support from Occupy organizers, unions, community members and elected officials; Congressman-elect Alan Grayson walked one striker out of a store in Florida, and Senator Sherrod Brown of Ohio told me, "I commend the workers who are exercising their rights to protest in order to improve conditions for other working Americans."

As his family prepared to gather at grandma's house, Cameron Ligocki arrived at a Best Buy in Downers Grove at noon on Thanksgiving Day -- six hours before it opened -- to buy a 39-inch Insignia TV for $169.
His family "got a little mad" about him missing much of the day's festivities, "but it was fine in the end," said the 17-year-old high school student, who was waiting with a friend who had his eyes on the same deal. "I need a TV for my room, and that's a cheap price for a nice one."

Guidelines1 for Public Forums and Demonstrations 2
Western Connecticut State University is committed to providing an educational community that disseminates knowledge by means of teaching, research, and service. To fulfill these functions, a free exchange of ideas is encouraged both within its walls and between the University and the outside world. Western is committed to doing everything possible to insure the greatest degree of intellectual freedom. These rights apply to all members of the Western community. Few institutions in our society have this same vital purpose; accordingly, few assign such high priority to the freedom of expression.
Western Connecticut State University is committed to maintaining an environment where the free expression of ideas and open, vigorous debate and speech can occur. Every member of the campus community has an obligation to promote and respect free expression in the university. No member shall prevent such expression.
As a member of this academic community your rights as a citizen are neither increased nor lessened by your status as a member of the University community. However, you do have added responsibilities. These added responsibilities include the exercise of civility and honesty and a respect for the dignity, diversity, equality and freedom of others.
The University also has the equal and simultaneous obligation to protect the rights and freedoms of protestors and also the rights of those who choose not to participate in a given protest or demonstration. The University has an obligation to protect its property and to assure continuation of the activities of students, faculty, staff and guests on campus.
The following guidelines are in accordance with the CSU Board of Trustees' Policy Resolution on Campus Freedom and Order, dated August 7, 1970.
Guidelines for Public Forums and Events
The guidelines, which apply to all public forums and events at Western Connecticut State University, are intended to protect the right of free expression and the safety and integrity of the forum in which this right is exercised.
Right to Dissent
The right to dissent is the complement of the right to speak, but a speaker is entitled to communicate a message to the audience during an allotted time, and the audience is entitled to hear the message and see the speaker during that time.
Force or Violence
Using force or violence or threatening imminent physical force or violence is prohibited.
The Audience's Responsibility
The audience, like the host and the speaker, must respect the right to dissent.
Guidelines for Demonstrations
A broad range of speech will be tolerated at Western Connecticut State University, subject to consideration of the health, welfare, and safety of all students, faculty, staff and guests and the functioning of the University.
Demonstrations may be held anywhere on campus so long as they do not unreasonably disrupt the normal operation of the University or infringe on the rights of other members of the University community.
Demonstrators shall not physically interfere with the operation of the University or the rights of others. Such actions include, but are not limited to:
The University may place reasonable restraints on demonstrations with regard to time, place, and manner to protect property and person and to maintain the orderly conduct of the University.

During this meeting The Vice President for Student Affairs or designee shall discuss with the organizers of the demonstration or protest the parameters of the demonstration. This will include issues of time, place, manner, including sound amplification, and arrangements for proper security to insure the rights of all members of the university community.

PORTUGUESE GENEALOGICAL SOCIETY OF HAWAII(PGSH) - Founded - 1981
The inception of our Portuguese Genealogical Society of Hawaii (PGSH) had a humble beginning with Joseph Freitas Miranda and Judge Paul de Silva. They were the Founders of the PGSH, and along with a few others that were interested. They made bread and malassadas to
pay for the gathering of records, transcribing the Consulado Geral D Portugal Em Hawaii, the manifest book of over 20,000 immigrants in alphabetical order. After less than a year, the records were transferred from the big island of Hawaii to the island of Oahu. Appointed as president and custodian over the records, with the approval by the Board of Directors, was Doris Naumu.
All of the PGSH records were housed at the private home of the president, Doris
Naumu. She alone did the research for hundreds of fellow Portuguese. In 1995, through the kindness of Dolores Furtado Martin, the Portuguese Genealogical Society of Hawaii finally had its own library.
We were allowed, with no cost to us, the use of an office in the Executive Centre in downtown Honolulu. Doris gathered a handful of dedicated volunteers who were willing to give of their time 4 times a week. People were invited to come in and do their own searches with assistance from a volunteer staff. In 1997, Hawaii's economic downturn resulted in the PGSH once more having no home. The Hawaii Council on Portuguese Heritage
came to the rescue. Through their generosity, the PGSH is now housed in historical Palama Settlement. We are located in the building that is situated on the corner of Vineyard Blvd. and Palama Street. We have a small library where visitors are always welcome to search through all the documents that the PGSH has gathered over the years.
Membership in the Portuguese Genealogical Society of Hawaii is open to all. Cost is $10.00 per year, per person
- due in January. You will receive a quarterly newsletter that lists activities in the Portuguese Community as well as genealogical information.
Monetary donations are always accepted, most welcome and very much appreciated. It allows us to purchase copy paper, ink for the copier, pay the telephone bill, pay for postage costs, etc. Most important, donations help us to continue to assist our fellow Portuguese.
The Founders of the Portuguese
Genealogical Society of Hawaii will long be remembered for their Sacrifice, Love and Patience, and especially for building our self-esteem to identify our ancestors and preserve our Heritage.
Our Founder, Mr. Miranda slipped quietly from this earthly life on 1 July 1993. He left a lasting legacy, and for that, we are most thankful.

PORTUGUESE HAWAIIAN MEMORIES New reprint available
The Portuguese Genealogical Society now have a new reprinting of the PORTUGUESE HAWAIIAN MEMORIES book.
It is for sale at $40, which includes postage and handling. If it is picked up at the office, it is only $35. It is on acid-free paper, and a treasure for anyone that is interested in the Portuguese families that have ancestors in the book, or even just to look at the pictures and read the information.A misconception by some has been, that only the wealthy families of the time is in this book...NOT TRUE.
Though only 500 families are listed, many were of various backgrounds. I know for a fact, as my mother's parents are in the book, but they were very, very poor! But, he got the family in the book. My mom tells me she remembers the day .. they had gone to mass, and after the mass, they took the picture outside the church. My dad's side, now they were the more "affluent" side (My grandfather owned a dairy), they had their picture taken at home, in the front yard! So, the truth of the matter was, that anyone could be included...they had to pay the fee for the book only. Unfortunately, my mom's side couldn't afford it, but my dad's could! Oh, well, I really am one of the lucky ones...I have both families in it!!!!
Individuals interested can either e-mail me or write directly to our Society:


text: Hurricane Irene put a damper on last year's Captain Peter Greene open house planned by Adele Anthony and Dennis Pacheco. The house is at the intersection of West Shore Road and Economy Avenue. But this year was different and the home that the couple has restored was open for tours on Sunday. As best can be determined, the house was built in 1751. A huge center chimney that accommodates multiple fireplaces dominates much of the structure. In keeping with the time period of the house, Pacheco wore the red coat of His Majesty's 54th Regiment and Anthony a bonnet and cape. Joining them in period costume was Pacheco's son, Erik, in a British uniform and Joseph and Kristel Henry. But there was a concession to the rebel colonialists, too. The Grand Union flag that General George Washington designed in 1776 flew from over the home's entrance.

SAG Try Hard: Lea Michele is the new Longoria
The Desperate Housewives have all but disappeared from awards shows. In their place – Lea Michele as the new Eva Longoria. There will be ruffles, there will be a train, and above all else, a naked ambition to be the star, the only star. Lea Michele is Rachel Berry. How utterly unoriginal.
So Rachel Michele showed up in green Catherine Malandrino and a plunging neckline. Eyecatching, of course. But Catherine Malandrino? How very Michelle Obama. Like J Crew for a talk show, Malandrino on a red carpet is considered rather affordable. TV girl wardrobe for movie girl ambitions.
Well, at least it's a winning show. How about Glee!!!???
Are you still not watching Glee?
Glee won at the Globes, but Glee won BIG at the SAGs. Because the SAGs are the actors. And the actors have legitimised our Glee.
Have you seen this?
Glee is invading the land of Hello Kitty.
