Health officials across the country say that more cases of Listeria in connection with the cantaloupe outbreak are a real possibility, as the incubation period for the bacteria can be up to two months and symptoms of the disease can take time to manifest themselves.
Dept. of Health spokeswoman Kim Deti explains.
The cantaloupes, from Jensen Farms in Granada, Colorado, were recalled last Friday, and officials advise not to eat a particular fruit if unsure of its origin.
Deti confirmed Tuesday that Listeria that killed a Sheridan County woman last week is believed to be linked to the Colorado cantaloupe outbreak. At least sixteen people have died and more than seventy have become ill nationwide from the bacteria, according to Center for Disease Control reports on Thursday.
Symptoms of Listerosis include fever, muscle aches, stiff neck, diarrhea, headaches, convulsions, and confusion.
The bacteria can be potentially dangerous and even deadly to those with compromised immune systems or underlying health conditions. Deti said pregnant women should be especially careful because the bacteria can cause stillbirth, and serious illness or death in newborns.
States reporting cases include: California, Colorado, Florida, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Maryland, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, New Mexico, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Texas, Virginia, West Virginia, Wisconsin, and Wyoming.

|Gumbo potato salad generally has no eggs or pickles in it and is mostly mashed. It's perfect for eating with gumbo, whether you scoop it right into the gumbo bowl, or serve it on the side.
Gumbo Potato SaladThe second you saw Gumbo Potato Salad as the title of this post you probably thought one of two things. You knew exactly what I was talking about or you thought I'd gone and lost my mind. Don't worry. The Cajun himself looked at me like I had two heads, and I'm pretty sure that it was the same look I had the first time I saw a guy I was dating put a scoop of potato salad in his gumbo.
This "gumbo" potato salad, unlike the more common and chunkier Southern Style Potato Salad, has no eggs or pickles and is mostly mashed. It's perfect for eating with gumbo, whether you scoop it right into the gumbo bowl, or serve it on the side. Some folks like it that way with red beans too. While the concept is pretty much a regional thing, if you live down in this part of The Deep South, you either grew up with your family putting potato salad in their gumbo, or else it's totally foreign to you. If you come from the latter, you can find recipes or references in several popular Louisiana cookbooks including Donald Link's Real Cajun, Time-Picayune's Cooking up a Storm, and John Besh's My New Orleans, to name a few.
My mother in law actually makes her regular potato salad more on the creamy side like this anyway, though she does include the eggs and pickles, and a bit more mayonnaise and mustard than I do. Adjust those ingredients as you like them.
Whatever you do, don't stir the potato salad into the gumbo! It is intended to be served freshly made, even just a little bit warm, and scooped right in the bowl. You eat it by taking a bit of the potato salad on a spoon, and then dip the spoon into the gumbo. Use an ice cream or cookie scoop to scoop it right into the gumbo, with or without rice, whatever you choose, or simply serve the potato salad in a dish on the side.

Recipe: Creamy Gumbo Potato Salad©From the Kitchen of Deep South Dish
Prep time: 10 min |Cook time: 20 min | Yield: About 4 to 6 servings
- 2-1/2 pounds of Yukon Gold, Red or Russet potatoes
- 1/2 cup of finely minced onion
- 1 large stalk of celery, chopped
- 1 green onion, sliced
- 1/2 tablespoon of dried parsley
- 3/4 to 1 cup of mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon of spicy Creole style mustard
- 1 teaspoon of kosher salt
- 10 turns of the pepper grinder
- Paprika to garnish, optional
Peel and cut potatoes to a small dice. Boil until tender and crumbly, about 20 minutes. Drain and set aside to cool. Place into serving bowl and use a masher to partially mash them, leaving some chunks.
Add the onion, celery, green onion and parsley to the potatoes; toss. In a separate small bowl, mix together the 3/4 cup of mayonnaise, mustard, salt, and pepper; spoon over the potatoes. Toss again until all the potatoes are coated, adding additional mayonnaise to reached desired consistency. Taste and adjust seasonings as desired. Sprinkle top lightly with paprika, if desired. To serve with gumbo, spoon gumbo into individual serving bowls, with or without rice, and use a cookie scoop to place a scoop of the potato salad right into the bowl. Can also serve on the side. Refrigerate leftovers.
Cook's Notes: Yukon Gold and Red New Potatoes produce a creamier potato salad than Russets, though pretty much any potato will work. With a starchier baking potato, you will likely need to add more mayonnaise however. Boiled eggs and sweet pickles, typically found in most southern potato salads, have been omitted in this gumbo style potato salad. If you are making this potato salad for a potluck, picnic, or barbecue, instead of for gumbo, however, feel free to add in one to two tablespoons of sweet pickle relish or chopped sweet pickles, and two to three chopped, hard boiled eggs.

Magic autumn moment in Marlborough
Travelling in Autumn: the best of Marlborough?
Autumn is outstanding in the Marlborough Sounds. I'm currently sitting in Reception drinking my afternoon coffee and it's utterly perfect. The sky is an intense blue, there is not a breath of wind and the water is mirror-calm. I can see holiday-makers on the beach, there are a few people lingering over lunch outside the cafe, everyone is looking relaxed and I can't manage even an ounce of resentment that I am at work.
Summer is our busiest time for visitors to New Zealand, but those who come to Marlborough in Autumn get the best deal, I think. The weather is warm and reasonably settled, with daily average highs around 19c, but still cool enough at night that the fires in the cafe are warm and welcoming. The water is calm and it's much quieter that summer. It's like the natural beauty around you becomes part of you, and it's impossible not to feel changed by it, more peaceful somehow. More pragmatically, it's cheaper too!
Autumn is a brilliant time to walk the Queen Charlotte Track or do some kayaking – the heat of summer has dissipated so walking is really comfortable. It's never crowded on the track, but in autumn you can feel like you have the whole world to yourself. This contrasts nicely with the buzzy vibe in inland Marlborough at this time of year as the grape harvest kicks off for our famous Sauvignon Blanc vintage.
All in all, a pretty good place to work, – and a pretty amazing time to visit. Now, back to work for me. Come visit us soon!

Steve Charles—A week ago last Friday I received one of those family phone calls you dread. My little brother tried to break the news with a joke—"I've got something in my brain and it rhymes with 'rumor.'" Pause.
I felt a kick in the gut, then fear, then anger, which I expressed with an expletive, and then I asked a terrible question—"Are you scared?"
It wasn't the response you hope to give a brother at a time of need. I'm not proud of it, but I understand it: Our mom died of lung cancer 30 years ago, and for her kids, a cancer diagnosis carries a single outcome and a series painful disappointments to get there.
A half-hour after the phone call, though, I was able to write something true and hopeful to my brother, thanks to a conversation I'd had with a former Wabash chemistry major, Dr. Tom Roberts '70, in April, for a story for this fall's Wabash Magazine.
Tom had been on campus to reflect upon the implications of the new generation of "smart drugs" being used to fight and manage cancer. He and his team helped develop one of those drugs—Gleevec—at the Dana Farber Cancer Institute at Harvard, and we've been following his progress since before those pills were featured on the cover of TIME Magazine in 2001 (The current issue has another story on the drugs' success, "The End of Chemo.").
At his noontime talk last spring Tom described how these drugs turn off molecular cancer triggers in tumors and prevent their growth, how a similar approach is being applied to more complex cancers than the relatively rare tumors Gleevec successfully treats, how tumors mutate and the ways drugs must adapt to stem their growth, and how this approach could work for treating many cancers.
So I was able to write honestly to my brother that I knew doctors who were beating cancer, that I'd written stories about these guys, the targeted approaches they're using, and the lives they are saving. I said I wished these guys were around when mom was fighting this monster, but I'm grateful they're here now that he's facing it.
I could also tell him that the oncologists I'd interviewed, like Gary Croghan '77 at the Mayo Clinic and Bob Witherspoon at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, are compassionate men with a far better bedside manner and communication skills than the competent but emotionally distant oncologist that treated mom, a man my brother literally had to grab and hold in the hallway to get to talk with us.
I could draw from the interview in which Bob Witherspoon described advances in bone marrow transplants for leukemia: "I've had the great fortune to work in a field where we've gone from not being able to cure these people to being able to cure them."
I remembered Gary Croghan (who treats the very type of lung cancer that killed my mom) describing meeting with his patients: "You meet with a patient for the first time for about an hour and a half. You're giving them the worst news they've ever gotten in their lives. At the same time you're trying to gain their trust. You have to read the family dynamics, see who has coping skills and who doesn't. It's one of the toughest things we do.
"I'll explain the situation honestly, explain the options, and tell them that I'm glad to try to help. When they learn the odds, I'll also tell them, 'Look, I couldn't do this job on a daily basis if I didn't see people beat the odds.'"
It's not the first time I've carried the words of Wabash men like a prayer.
This morning I was thinking back on my conversation with Tom Roberts. He said his own vocation has changed over the years. A Hoosier farm kid like many of our Wabash scientists, he described himself as a "lab rat" during his days at the College.
"But something has changed," he said in his typically understated, self-effacing manner. "When I was 12, and even when I came to Wabash, I wanted to be a scientist; I wanted to find out new things. Working at a cancer institute, though, and seeing all the kids with no hair, the adults, too, and seeing all that they are facing, at this point my emphasis is more practical. I really would like to help cure cancer. Certainly, hanging out in a cancer institute, you wouldn't be human if you didn't respond to the problems of the patients."
My brother's "problems" may be just beginning, I know. He's made it through surgery, is working through some post-operative pain and waiting for the pathology report, reading the messages and prayers from the now-784 folks who have visited his Caring Bridge site. Once glance at the and you'll know he's the best our family's got; he's the best fighter, too.
Those of us who love him feel mostly helpless. Not much we can do but pray and write and talk and spend too much time researching medical sites on the Internet.
At times like this, coming to work can seem the least relevant thing you can do. But this morning on my way to Wabash I found comfort, maybe even a tiny role in the process, working at a place that prepares the doctors and researchers who fight these battles alongside those facing cancer, a place which nurtures not only their technical skills and clarity of thinking, but also their empathy—men who bring that "always fights" attitude to the battle, a battle I believe my family will win this time.

HOMERUN (Hospital Medicine Reengineering Network)
We are a network of 16 large medical centers across the US, all of whom are committed to improving healthcare by continuously evaluating our ability to improve patient outcomes, and using this information to reinvent clinical care so that care is better, safer, and less costly.
Our vision is to become the leading source of information about best practices in the care of hospitalized patients, and for how to implement these best practices fully.
At the center of these ideas is the role of hospitalists, a new physician specialty whose focus is on care of general medical patients, and for being leaders in their hospital's efforts to improve care across all settings.
Physicians and researchers within our network: The logo will be posted on our (under development) webpage, which will include a portal for collaborative members to input data, gain information about new initiatives, and/or connect with others (via our wiki).
We also target Physicians, Patients, Benefactors from outside our group in order to engage them in our work, and potentially pique interest in funding our mission.

Members of Congress are used to working in an institution that gets no respect, but a recent plunge to the bottom of confidence ratings – and a week back home with constituents riled over gas prices – is raising alarms even on thick-skinned Capitol Hill.
Some Democrats blame the Republicans, especially GOP senators who have used procedural maneuvers to block votes on key legislation.
"It's worrisome, but I understand it: The strategy of the Republicans has been to stop anything from happening – and people think that nothing is being done to help their lives," says Sen. Debbie Stabenow (D) of Michigan.
Some Republicans worry that the public doesn't know enough about Congress to blame the right party.
"Not only does Congress have an approval rating below bubonic plague and head lice, I saw a recent poll that as many as 40 percent of people still believe that Congress is in Republican hands," says Rep. Jeb Hensarling (R) of Texas. "I wish we could get a little accuracy out there about who is in charge – and let those ratings fall where they may."
A recent Gallup Poll confirms what many lawmakers say they're hearing from their constituents: that confidence in Congress has never been lower. Only 12 percent of Americans say they have a "great deal" or "quite a lot" of confidence in Congress as an institution – the lowest level ever for any US institution since Gallup began asking the question 35 years ago. Congressional job approval, a slightly different question, has dropped to 18 percent.
Pollsters say it's tough to sort out why Congress now ranks so low. "In general, Americans are responding negatively to everything we put in front of them," says Frank Newport, editor in chief of the Gallup Poll in Princeton, N.J. Government institutions, especially, are at or near their lowest ratings to date.
But when pollsters ask if voters think that their local member of Congress deserves to be reelected, the response is usually positive. More than 90 percent of incumbents who opt to stay in Congress are typically reelected.
"Typically, the local congressman is held in higher regard as a person than the institution they're a part of," says Mr. Newport. It's a trend pollsters also see in questions about confidence in the medical system, public education, and law enforcement, he adds.
This view that voters can at the same time harbor contempt for Congress but also respect for their local congressman has settled into the culture on Capitol Hill.
"When times are very tough as they are now, people feel upset, and I don't think folks distinguish between the House of Representatives and the Senate," says Rep. Paul Hodes (D) of New Hampshire. "What they see is that Congress isn't helping or that Congress hasn't been able to get it done. [But] my constituents will see that I'm on the right side of the issues they care about."
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi links the low ratings to Congress's inability to end the war in Iraq or deliver on promises to lower gas prices. "I think one of the reasons that Congress is at an all-time low in confidence with the American people is that we did not end the war – and these issues that relate to energy," she said at a Monitor breakfast on June 24.
"The problem is overwhelmingly the 60-vote requirement [to end a filibuster] in the Senate," says Rep. Barney Frank (D) of Massachusetts. "If we could resolve that, we would be better off."
Rep. Patrick McHenry (R) of North Carolina, who has often squared off with Mr. Frank, says that he could say "it's a Democrat thing, because it's a Democrat-controlled Congress, but it's really due to the fact that we're not addressing the American people's problems: high gas prices, out-of-control spending, soft economy, and the housing crunch."
"Generally, the American people are sour on our economic outlook and all institutions," he adds. "I tell constituents that I'm fighting the crowd up here as much as I can."
"The public sees us as mired in partisan bickering in the face of persistent problems that remain to be addressed," says freshman Rep. Hank Johnson (D) of Georgia. "Though I disagree with that sentiment, I certainly understand it. But notwithstanding that popular sentiment, the public generally likes their individual representatives. Those who do not have their confidence will not come back."

March 5, 2007
SANTA BARBARA, Calif. - Junior guard Alex Harris, the Big West Conference's scoring leader, was named First Team All-Big West on Monday and two of his teammates, senior guard Cecil Brown and junior forward Chris Devine, were selected Second Team All-Big West. In addition, guards Justin Joyner and James Powell were chosen to the league's All-Freshman Team.
Harris, who enters this week's league tournament with a scoring average of 21.0 points per game, is the first Gaucho to be selected First Team All-Big West since 2002-03 when Branduinn Fullove and Mark Hull were each named. He has had one of the finest seasons in UCSB history. Harris has scored 589 points through 28 games, a figure that not only leads the Big West but also ranks third on the school's all-time list. In addition, his 69 three-point baskets are the fifth-most in school history. Harris has been outstanding from the word go this year. He scored 20 or more points in each of the first seven games of the regular season and he scored 20 or more in each of the final five. Overall, he has scored in double-figures 27 times in 28 games and he has tallied 20 or more 17 times. Harris scored a career-high 35 on Feb. 22 at Cal State Fullerton.
Brown and Devine were also selected Second Team All-Big West in 2005-06. While Brown, who missed the first five games of the regular season, is averaging 9.6 points per game overall, he really picked up steam in Big West games, averaging 11.6 points and 3.4 assists per game. Devine has been steady all season, averaging 14.5 points and 6.6 rebounds per game and scoring in double-figures 25 times in 28 games.
"This is an outstanding honor for Alex, Cecil and Chris," said UCSB head coach Bob Williams. "To have three players named to the first or second team is great. All three have had outstanding seasons are absolutely deserving of the recognition."
This marks the first time since the 1970-71 season that UCSB has had three players on the first or second all-league teams. That year, Doug Rex and John Tschogl were selected first team and Ron Allen was second team.
Joyner and Powell have each been a major part of UCSB's outstanding season. Joyner, the starting point guard in 25 of UCSB's 28 games, is averaging 4.8 points per game and leads the team in assists with 81, the third most by a freshman in school history. He also paces the team with 34 steals, the second highest total by a freshman ever. Powell is scoring 8.8 points per game and is third on the team with 62 assists. His 36 three-point baskets are second on the team and the second most ever by a Gaucho freshman. Powell also ranks in the top-10 in several other freshman categories, including scoring, assists and steals.
The duo are the first UCSB players to be named to the All-Freshman Team since Alex Harris was chosen in 2004-05. It also marks the first time two Gauchos have made the squad since 2000-01 when Branduinn Fullove and Nick Jones made it.
"I am very excited for both J.J. (Joyner) and James," Williams said. "They each played a huge role for us this season and most of the time they played like veterans. I am proud of both of them."
The Big West coaches named Long Beach State's Aaron Nixon as the Player of the Year, while the 49ers Larry Reynolds was selected as the Coach of the Year. UC Riverside's Henrik Thomsen was chosen Freshman of the Year.
The Gauchos, who receive a bye in the first round of this week's Big West Tournament, will play their first game on Thursday night.

Easy Projects is a project management software. As a cloud based Software-as-a-Service product, Easy Projects has become a popular project management tool amongst small to medium size businesses from over 50 countries. With a focus on ease of use and getting things done as simply as possible, Easy Projects serves both professional project managers that are starved for time, and "accidental project managers", who may not have any experience in project management but still have a team to manage, and a project to ace.
One of the key features of Easy Projects, aside from its ease of use, is being hosted online, meaning that any team member can access the ongoing project from any mobile connected device, anywhere. The product also offers many useful features for businesses, some of which are task tracking, time tracking, expense management, collecting requests from outside teams/clients and turning them into projects, Gantt charts to maximize the efficiency of the project management efforts, online collaboration (through chat, video, or voice) for remote team members, and file sharing and management.
Easy Projects is creating value for a lot of different customer segments, but it is mainly for small to medium size businesses that are tired of keeping track of to-do lists on a piece of paper or Excel, companies who have outgrown emaiing projects back and forth and need something to keep them organized, businesses that are looking to increase accountability by easily tracking who is in charge of what project or task, and teams with executives or managers that like to keep track of the details on every ongoing project they have.

3 Useful Resume Hacks You Didn't Know
If you're shopping for a better job–what a great gift for yourself!–well, 'tis the season to get your resume ready. Many a January job was born from a December resume.
And if you think you know everything about writing a resume, here are some tricks I'll bet you didn't know for scoring these crucial wins:
- Enhancing your job titles in a way that's honest and ethical.
- Making your accomplishments pop!
- Including not-so-recent experience without making yourself look ancient.
As a bonus, I'll note where some of these resume techniques can be used in your LinkedIn profile, too!
Hack #1: Enhance your job titles the honest way.
This one is especially good for anyone who's making a career change, but it's also useful if some of your past jobs are more relevant than their titles would indicate.
Let's say you want a job as a web developer. In your current/past job you did a lot of web work, but your title was Office Manager. In your resume you can write it like this: Office Manager (and Web Developer).
Not only does this bring the reader's attention to what's important, but putting these keywords in the job title will allow your resume to perform much better in applicant tracking systems, which will now count those years as web developer experience, bringing your resume higher up into the search results when HR searches through the database for web candidates.
Meanwhile, by putting "web developer" in parentheses you've made it clear that Web Developer technically wasn't your title, so you're not deceiving anybody.
You could put even more keywords in your title: Office Manager (and Web Developer–JavaScript, ReactJS, Angular, MeteorJS)
(Disclaimer: I'm not a web developer and this is just a quick example, so forgive me if that particular assortment of skills doesn't exactly make sense.)
This technique has a similar effect on LinkedIn.
Hack #2: Make accomplishments pop with a "Career Highlights" section.
If some of your proudest moments are buried on page two, you really need this. Somewhere near the top of your resume–perhaps between a brief Summary and your Experience section–create a section called Career Highlights and make a bulleted list of your 3-6 best success stories, condensed down to one or two lines each. Voila! Now the employer can't help but notice those stellar items.
This doesn't mean you have to cut those out of your Experience section; just provide slightly different (perhaps more detailed) information there so it doesn't look too repetitive.
You can do this in LinkedIn, too, in the Summary section.
Hack #3: List old experience without dating yourself.
If you're worried about age discrimination or looking overqualified, but you have old experience that you really need to include, read on.
Let's say you have the following work history:
- Recently: 8 years of relevant experience at Fine Inc.
- Before that: 10 previous years at TweedleDee Widgets and Tweedledum Consulting, which is not relevant to your current career goals
- Before that: a 2-year gap
- Before that: 5 years of relevant experience at Wow Inc., a highly admired company you're proud to be associated with
Rather than show 25 years of history including irrelevant jobs and a gap, do this: Under Experience, list your 8 years at Fine Inc. Beneath that, create a section entitled Additional Experience. In that section, show the Wow Inc. job, giving a bare minimum of information: your job title, the company name, and maybe one or two lines about it. No dates. There you go, neat and sweet.
I hope these state-of-the-art resume hacks have solved a problem or two for you. Go get that awesome new job in 2019. Happy holidays!

"What do you think was the bravest action ever?" my husband asked at breakfast last Sunday.
"I don't know," I said. "Maybe the first rodeo clown who ever voluntarily jumped in a barrel and let a Brahma bull head-butt him across the arena?" I thought my guess was brilliant, but it wasn't as simple as Larry's conjecture.
"Sorry," Larry said, grinning like the guy ringing the gong-of-failure on a 1960s TV game show. "The actual bravest action was taken by the first person who ever ate an egg." What??
Larry described an imaginary scene: two people looking intensely at a chicken, wondering what elliptical object it had just left on the ground.
"I don't know what it is, do you?"
"No, but I think I'll eat it."
My daughter Abby and her husband Chad have just started farming, and on her most recent visit, she proudly brought us two dozen farm-fresh eggs. Even though I like eggs, I admit to having been skeptical about those recently laid ones; still, I didn't want to hurt her feelings.
"Sure I'll try one," I said, internally grimacing. "They look delicious."
Actually, they were all different sizes, from marbles to golf balls. I went into my imaginary newsroom and playfully transposed those facts into a twisted weather report: "Today, in what appeared to be a normal Saturday morning homestyle breakfast," I broadcast to my pretend audience, "a Texas mother found hailstone-sized eggs on her kitchen counter."
Abby's first farm eggs boasted extraordinarily bright orange-colored yolks, and I was reluctant to taste them. But Abby was praising the delicacy, so I took a tentative bite of the egg she had fried for me. It was tasty, as brilliant as its color, rich and delicious.
Sure enough, it turned out that fictitious guy who ate the first egg was indeed brave — but also correct. I went ahead and asked Abby for a second helping.
As the 2014 Easter season begins, we enjoy the egg as a perfect food, one that has only 70 calories, but still raises our good cholesterol count. Additionally, though, it provides an ever-expanding source of traditions for celebration. We especially enjoy traditions that involve chocolate eggs — which unfortunately have more than 70 calories.
But there are also jeweled Fabergé eggs whose value is beyond delicious, traditional or sentimental; and Ukrainian eggs, painted so intricately one admires the technique just slightly more than the generosity they represent.
Multiple legends, from Roman to Chinese, tell of the Phoenix, a mythological bird that lives a legendary 500 years, then builds itself a twig nest that burns and reduces itself and the Phoenix to ashes. A new Phoenix egg arises, though, and is destined to live as long as its old self. This is a real story of resurrection.
On the Christian side, a traditional Easter church legend tells of Mary Magdalene bringing boiled eggs to the other women at the tomb of Jesus. When she sees the risen Christ, the eggs in Mary's basket miraculously turn brilliant red.
Another story tells of Mary Magdalene as an evangelist, who visits the Emperor Tiberius in Rome. "Christ has risen," Mary says, in greeting. When Tiberius hears those words, he points to an egg on his table and announces, "Christ has no more risen than that egg is red." The egg, legend says, immediately turns blood red.
The first person to eat an egg was a risk-taker indeed. But the apostles were even braver, listening to Jesus when He asked that they drop everything and follow Him, even though they would thus have absolutely nothing left in this world. Bet on me, Jesus said.
The apostles took the gamble, followed Jesus to his cross, mourned for Him after He died, and then rejoiced three days later, when Mary Magdalene ran to them and announced, "I have seen the Lord" John 20:18.
The Easter egg is a perfect food, as well as a perfect image of the everlasting life Jesus' resurrection promised. The egg nourishes us, but also has the potential of producing a chicken, in essence nourishing us forever.
But Jesus promised more. He said He would feed us eternally with his own words, and even better, He would do this while we live with Him in Heaven. A no-risk warranty, for sure.
Who's braver: a rodeo clown? The guy who first decided to taste an egg? Or those who followed Jesus?
I choose to be brave enough to follow Jesus.
I am going to count on the power of faith, the endurance of hope, and mostly, the labor of love.
"What do you think was the bravest action ever?" my husband asked at breakfast last Sunday. "I don't know," I said. "Maybe the first rodeo clown who ever voluntarily jumped in a barrel and let a Brahma bull head-butt him across the arena?" I thought my guess was brilliant, but it wasn't as simple as Larry's conjecture.

Nothing is more soothing than a warm glass of milk before bedtime. It's made better with a few generous squeezes of chocolate syrup. And the only thing that can top that is the addition of a handful of marshmallows. This three step process (counting the step where you actually heat the milk and pour it into a glass) is eliminated with the introduction of TruMoo's Chocolate Marshmallow milk. As the name implies, it's milk flavored with rich chocolatey marshmallow goodness.
Just pour and drink for a cold treat or pop it into the microwave for a few seconds for a warm, tasty drink. Unlike other hot chocolate mixes, TruMoo claims that each glass of Chocolate Marshmallow contains the same nutritional value as regular milk without the added corn syrup or hormones.
Chocolate Marshmallow will be available at major retails in the US for a limited time until the of February.

Another week has passed in high school basketball as Florida Gators targets look to prove themselves among the nation's elite.
GatorCountry.com takes a look at how some of the Gators' top prospects fared last week at their respective schools.
2013 PG Kasey Hill: The Florida signee and his Montverde Academy team took part in the Bass Pro Tournament of Champions in Springfield, Mo. The 6-foot-1, 180-pound guard fouled out against Fairfax (Va.) Paul VI and Montverde subsequently lost an 11-point lead and gave the school its first loss of the season. All in all, Montverde finished up this past week with a 2-2 record.
2015 SG Andrew Fleming: Fleming had a quiet week with only one game on the schedule. He led Nashville (Tenn.) Ensworth Academy to a victory against divisional rival Battle Ground Academy (what a school name!) with 18 points. Recruiting stepped up for Fleming this past week as he received a scholarship offer from Auburn as well as high interest from Notre Dame. He is unsure if he will visit either school.
2015 SG Malik Newman: Over the last two weeks, Newman has been averaging close to 30 points per game. On Monday, he was named the MVP of the Martin Luther King Classic after recording 30 points, six rebounds and three steals.
"He's doing great … still facing a lot of double and triple teams, but still managing to do what it takes to help his team win," said Horatio Webster, Newman's father.
2014 SG Grayson Allen: Jacksonville (Fla.) Providence extended their winning streak this past week by going 3-0 against several regional rivals. The team is still undefeated and a big reason is guard Grayson Allen. In the three games, he recorded 24, 21 and 10 points, respectively. This week, Missouri became the latest school to offer Allen.
2014 PG B.J. Taylor: Within the last week, Orlando (Fla.) Boone finished 2-0 and point guard B.J. Taylor had two impressive games. Against Dr. Phillips last Thursday, Taylor finished with 22 points and five assists, but on the following day, Taylor recorded a triple-double against Timber Creek with 21 points, 12 assists and 11 rebounds.
2014 PG Richard Lee: Lee, who now attends Blanche Ely in Pompano Beach, Fla., played his former school, Oakland Park (Fla.) Northeast, this past week. It wasn't even close as Lee led his current team to a 76-32 win. Lee finished with a game-high 20 points, three steals and six rebounds.

Diane Mueller is Chair of the XBRL International Technical Working Group on Rendering.
Web 2.0 technologies like XML, web services, and social networking have taken off like wildfire and have caught many accounting professionals off-guard. The accounting profession only recently put down their pens and made the move from paper to spreadsheets and electronic forms for processing and visualizing financial data.
With accountants and regulators alike require a visual representation of the financial reports before approving their release or attesting to the authenticity of a financial document. There is an almost gut-level need harkening back to the days of the abacus and stone tablets to an almost instinctual need to touch and see the numbers in order to believe and trust in their authenticity.
Both preparers and consumers of business reports work with human readable documents containing a very broad range of formatting decisions. Some of these formatting decisions -- such as presentation order of the information or accessibility -- even have legal ramifications. There is still a clear need to be able to refer to the "hard copy" -- even where the "hard copy" refers to an on-screen document.
Professionals responsible for the production and dissemination of business reports are generally concerned that the information they release is carefully formatted. Accounting documents (particularly financial disclosures) attract special attention from preparers, auditors and securities regulators. The manner in which the reports are formatted -- from ensuring that figures are correctly aligned, to making sure sub-totals and totals are suitably emphasized all the way through, to considering the font-size of footnotes -- is important. Individual preparers have different preferences and these, too, need to be taken into account.
On the other hand, computers and consuming applications of financial data prepared by accountants care very little about the visual representation of the incoming content. Computers are only concerned with number-crunching, comparability, searchablity and further processing of the data. Most consuming applications have alternative visualizations of financial data in mind rather than the staid financial statements prepared lovingly by the accountants. Dashboards, charts and graphs, and 3-D representations of complex models fed by streams of financial data from multiple sources are the charge of consuming applications with distribution to multiple channels -- mobile devices, browsers, desktops and just about anything with a display screen that hosts a picture rather than a financial report.
Why Do We Need Inline XBRL?
With the widespread adoption of XBRL (eXtensible Business Reporting Language) as the de-facto standard for delivery of financial data, a clear design issue quickly became apparent -- XBRL instance documents contain well defined facts but no formatting. XBRL was designed to support the machine-to-machine transmission of financial data, and as such, has succeeded beyond its originators' wildest dreams with adoption moving forward on a global scale.
The XBRL technical community assumed that the accounting and regulatory community would move more quickly to a world view that "trusted" machine-to-machine transmission -- letting go of this seemingly archaic need to "see" some form of visual representation of a financial report for review prior to submission to regulators or publication to shareholders.
However, early on, there was a push from both the accounting and regulatory communities to publish XBRL-tagged financial and business information for display in situations where the producer wants to preserve a specific visual presentation of the information. This is necessary because the order and presentation of the information can often have legal interpretive ramifications for the consumers of that information.
It became necessary to create an extension to the XBRL 2.1 standard to enable the machine-readable data to co-exist with human-readable formats. Inline XBRL was developed to make it possible to deliver structured, machine-readable data inside a human-readable rendering of the data.
It is easier for software developers -- especially accounting software vendors -- to create reports in HTML, the universal language for web browsers, and add hidden metadata which can be used to construct a machine-readable copy of the same information.
Inline XBRL makes it possible to extract an XBRL instance document on demand. This means that the technique makes it feasible for regulators, exchanges, banks and others responsible for the collection of business reports in XBRL format to ask preparers to merely submit their information as an Inline XBRL document. This is a human-readable XHTML file that can be stored and redistributed in this original format. At any time, an XBRL instance document can be extracted from the XHTML document, validated and passed on to relevant analytical and consuming applications and processes.
This means that vendors need only work out how to create XHTML documents and can adapt their existing report rendering capabilities to format business reports. The Inline XBRL specification defines the syntax for such documents and describes how the syntax maps into an XBRL instance.
Inline XBRL in Action
Recently, a normative stylesheet was developed by the XBRL International consortium as an implementation reference and released on SourceForge as an open source project. The stylesheet enables users to reliably and predictably strip out the unstructured information from the XHTML, then extract and create a valid XBRL instance document. This approach to financial content delivery is simpler, provides more control and flexibility in report formatting, and can be fairly easily implemented. The extracted XBRL instance document is now machine-readable and is fully compliant with the XBRL 2.1 standard for use by regulators and other consumers of financial information. The recently released project can be found on SourceForge at http://sourceforge.net/projects/inlinexbrl/.
The first large-scale use of Inline XBRL is being rolled out in the UK as the outcome of communication minister, Lord Carter's Report's recommendations to make the use of XBRL for online filings mandatory. The HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) is rolling out a phased implementation for Tax Computations and Accounts (CT600 filings) as part of the its annual self-assessment regime for Company Tax reporting. By 2012, all filings will be online and using Inline XBRL.
Inline XBRL addresses XBRL's rendering issues by putting it back in the hands of the producing applications -- where it belongs. Currently, production applications control layout, look and feel, and branding for paper, web and PDF output. Why should XBRL be any different? With Inline XBRL, both preparer and consumer are guaranteed the same rendering when either party views the document in any browser.

Looking at our cover image this month got me thinking about how fast our world has changed in such a relatively short time. Engineers can now design and construct a building in a virtual world prior to anyone even sticking a shovel in the ground. They can communicate electronically with other team members, specialty contractors, architects, and owners without ever having to speak to them or shake their hand. One day soon, they might even interact with each other in a virtual world similar to the one found in today's first-person shooter video games for kids — except they'll be asked to check their weapons at the door.
For years now, my editorial team and I have worked hard to show you the value of computer and software technologies. Because we know how important it is to your future success, we've done so from many different angles, including:
On the design/engineering front, we've discussed engineering applications on the Web, electrical design software, and power quality Web-enabled tools/equipment. We've also highlighted new trends in lighting design software and building automation systems.
On the MRO front, we've shed light on the value of computerized maintenance management systems, online motor monitoring systems, and Ethernet networks. We've also covered how to communicate with other electrical professionals in online communities — a great place to share the trials and tribulations of your day-to-day work.
On the construction front, we've highlighted the benefits of computerized estimating systems. We've kept you up-to-date on the emergence of online plan rooms and project collaboration Web sites. We've taught you how to process invoices the electronic way, use labor management software, track your tools and equipment electronically, and work with online permitting systems.
We've also tried to make you aware of all of the electronic-based training going on in the industry right now. The capabilities and advantages of these products are immense. For instance, you can pop a CD into your computer and learn the latest techniques in troubleshooting motors. You can sign up for a Webinar, and learn how to perform arc flash calculations. You can click on a video link, see the specs on a new product, and even watch someone demonstrate how to install it — all from the comfort of your office chair or comfy sofa at home.
However, as pointed out in this month's cover story, "Barriers to BIM," it still seems there's work to be done on the electrical front before we reach widespread adoption of this technology. Although the electrical industry seems to lag behind other trades when it comes to acceptance and implementation of this powerful program, I still think we're moving in the right direction. There are certainly some success stories out there when it comes to using this virtual design product — especially for those larger firms landing the high-dollar projects.
So, as painful as it may be to keep up with this rapidly changing technology, you've got to stick with it. Rest assured, we'll do our best on this end to keep you abreast of new developments and offer you unique ways to interact with us electronically too. But you have to do the rest.

Former Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Milton Bradley convicted of abusing estranged wife
LOS ANGELES – Former Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Milton Bradley has been convicted of abusing his estranged wife.
A spokesman for the Los Angeles city attorney's office says Bradley was convicted Monday of nine misdemeanor counts, including assault with a deadly weapon and spousal battery. Hey faces up to 7 1/2 years in jail at his sentencing scheduled for July 2.
Prosecutors say Bradley threatened and attacked his wife five times in 2011 and 2012.
Authorities say Bradley pushed his wife against a wall and choked her after she asked him to stop smoking marijuana in front of their two children and wanted his friends to leave their home.
Bradley played 11 years with the Dodgers, Montreal Expos, Cleveland Indians, Oakland Athletics, San Diego Padres, Texas Rangers, Chicago Cubs and Seattle Mariners.
