Southern Conference Leaders ... ETSU ranks third in the Southern Conference in passing offense (224.0 yards/game) ... The Bucs lead the Conference in pass efficiency (141.0) ... ETSU also leads in pass defense efficiency (109.8).
Coaching Connection ... Every game against Appalachian State means a little more to ETSU head coach Paul Hamilton ... Hamilton was a stand-out collegiate quarterback in Boone from 1978-81 ... The three-year letterwinner wore No. 4 and No. 12 as a Mountaineer ... Hamilton is 1-2 against App. State, winning 51-28 in 1997 and losing 22-17 in 1998 and 23-19 last season.
Special Teams Touchdown ... The Bucs first touchdown at Western Carolina came on a 31-yard return by Howard Nix following a Denario Smalls blocked punt ... It was the first time ETSU returned a blocked punt for a score since Nov. 16, 1996 when Derek Fudge accomplished the feat ... The #11-ranked Bucs won that game 28-24 at Chattanooga.
A Defensive Effort ... Four Bucs recorded 10-or-more tackles in the loss at Western Carolina (Sept. 23) ... Safety Keydrick Gordon led the team with a career-high 18 stops (eight solo) ... Gordon had 17 total tackles in the first three games ...

Linebacker Lee Neisz had another fine game (12 tackles, one for loss).
Against the Mountaineers ... Appalachian State leads the all-time series 28-13-1 over the Bucs ... App. State has won the previous two meetings, breaking a two-game win streak by the Bucs ... The Mountaineers lead the all-time series in Johnson City (13-8-1) and in the Mini-Dome (8-3) ... In the last game played in Memorial Center, the #17-ranked visitors defeated ETSU 22-17 (Sept. 12, 1998).
Last Season ... A confident 4-0 Buc team went into Boone to face nationally-ranked Appalachian State ... ETSU led 9-7 after the first and 16-13 at halftime but fell to the home team 23-19 ... Jamey Chadwell replaced the injured Todd Wells and threw for 265 yards on 19-of-36 passing ... Denario Smalls led the defense with 11 tackles. Receiving Combo ... Wide-outs Corey Martin and Cecil Moore have been consistent all season ... After not making a catch in the season opener, Martin has 15 receptions in the past three contests (five in each game) ... He ranks second on the team with 287 receiving yards (71.8 yards/game) ... Moore has made 13 catches for a team-high 292 yards this season (73.0 yards/game) ... He made four catches for 63 yards against Western Carolina.
In Todd We Trust ... Senior quarterback Todd Wells is on fire this fall, amassing 1,061 yards of total offense in the first four games ... Wells has thrown for 896 yards (51-of-94) and ranks third on the team with 165 rushing yards ... The 1997 SoCon Freshman of the Year led the Bucs in passing (115.6/game) and total offense (123.8/game) in 1999.
More than a Passing Frenzy ... Quarterback Todd Wells has thrown for over 200 yards in three of the first four games this season ... Wells passed for 283 at Liberty, 238 against VMI and 221 at Western Carolina ... Wells eclipsed 200 yards passing once last year -- 217 in a 38-10 win against Western Carolina.
In the Southern Conference ... The Bucs are 57-102 (21 seasons) in league games since joining the SoCon in 1979 ... Their best finish was second in 1996 when ETSU finished 7-1 in the league ... ETSU is 27-20 since 1994 and have been above .500 every year except 1998 (3-5) in that span ... The Bucs are 13-13 under Coach Paul Hamilton ... ETSU won its 2000 Southern Conference opener on Sept. 16 against VMI, 38-3 ... The Bucs lost at Western Carolina, 39-27, on Sept. 23.
Senior Leadership ... The 2000 Buccaneer squad is being led by a talented senior class ... The following is a list of this years senior leaders:
Todd Wells leads team in total offense and passing
Terrance Sims leads team in rushing, kick off returns
Corey Martin leads team in receiving
Keyandre Fenn leads team in punt returns
Cory Bolden leads team in tackles
Rahim El Amin ranks second in tackles
Russ Lindgren leads team in sacks

He ranks second on the team with 180 rushing yards after four games ... Wide receivers Tim Turner and Tony Tiller have made contributions ... Kick returner Andrew Nuckolls has returned five kicks and leads the team, averaging 23.2 yards/return ... On defense, Travis Williams ranks eighth on the team in tackles while Brandon Calton ranks 10th.
Linebacker U? ... East Tennessee State hopes to have an All-America linebacker for the fourth consecutive season ... each of the last four years the Bucs have enjoyed a stellar linebacking corps ... gone from last years squad are two-time All-America Kevin Peterson (1998-99) and All-Southern Conference player Derek Fudge ... taking over in the middle this year is All-America candidate Rahim El Amin and All-Southern Conference candidate Cory Bolden ... linebacker Mario Hankerson earned All-America honors in 1997 ... Three of ETSUs top four tacklers this season are linebackers: Bolden (45), Rahim El Amin (40), Keydrick Gordon (40), and Russ Lindgren (33).
Winning Season ... ETSU is playing for its third winning season in the past four years ... The Bucs finished last season 6-5 and went 7-4 in 1997 -- head coach Paul Hamiltons first campaign ... If the Bucs finish above .500 in 2000 it would be the fourth time in the past five years they accomplished the feat.
Leader of the Ship ... Fourth-year head coach Paul Hamilton has an 19-18 (.514) career record ... Hamilton earned 17 wins in his first three years which made him the winningest coach in that span in Buc history ... Hamilton is ETSUs 16th head coach.
Pre-Season Honors ... Three Buc players earned preseason All-Southern Conference honors ... Seniors Rahim El Amin (linebacker), Terrance Sims (kick returner) and Denario Smalls (defensive back) earned the distinction ... Following last season, three Buccaneer players earned All-Conference honors: Jim Beverly (center), Derek Fudge (linebacker) and Kevin Peterson (linebacker).
Quick Snaps ... The Bucs 38 points against VMI was the most since ETSUs 38-10 win against Western Carolina last fall (Sept. 25, 1999) ... Aaron Bass 78-yard punt at Liberty (Sept. 2) was the fourth longest boot in ETSU football history ... Kicker Con Chellis has made two career field goals (49 yards vs. West Virginia Tech on Sept. 11, 1999 and 48 yards at Liberty on Sept. 2, 2000) ... The Bucs had long scoring plays -- 58 yards, 28 yards, 82 yards and 59 yards -- at Liberty (Sept. 2).
On the Airwaves ... ETSU football and basketball fans can enjoy game broadcasts on WJCW-AM (910) -- the flagship station of the Buccaneer Radio Network ... Chip Kessler returns as the Voice of the Bucs after leaving the post in 1996 ...

Justin Bieber-Anne Frank uproar: Are we being too hard on Justin?
Had Anne Frank been a modern-day teen ¿ instead of a tragic Jewish figure in hiding during the Holocaust ¿ would she have been a Belieber? And is it appropriate for Justin Bieber to hold out that hope? The teen pop sensation, on world tour, was moved by his visit to the Anne Frank House in Amsterdam, saying in the guest book that it was "truly inspiring." Things went south from there, however, as he called Frank, who died of typhus while imprisoned at a Nazi concentration camp, a "great girl" and added "hopefully she would have been a Belieber," referring to the nickname for his fans.

Eastern oysters in Chesapeake Bay were not as happy as clams, and neither was Wolf-Dieter Busch.
The environmental consultant from Maryland knew that overharvesting, habitat loss, poor water quality, and diseases had devastated a once-abundant wild oyster population. He was "distressed by the slow and disorganized efforts to restore the Chesapeake Bay's ecosystem," he said.
"Then the Maryland and Virginia governments indicated that oysters in the Chesapeake Bay were now commercially extinct," Busch said, and they proposed what he called a "quick fix"—introducing disease-resistant, harvestable Asian oysters. Busch feared that the exotic species would compete with any remaining Eastern oysters for food and space, and maybe even cross-fertilize with them—spelling doom for the wild native species.
In January 2005, Busch filed a petition to the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) to place the Eastern oyster (Crassostrea virginica) on the federally protected threatened and endangered species list. To the surprise of many, the uncommon, one-person petition cleared one regulatory hurdle in May. To the surprise of Busch, the petition stirred storms of protest from both environmentalists and critics of the Endangered Species Act (ESA).
"The petition was Chesapeake-centric," said William Walton, shellfish and aquaculture researcher with the Woods Hole Sea Grant and Cape Cod Cooperative Extension programs on Cape Cod, Mass. He noted that placing the oyster on the endangered species list would outlaw commercial and recreational Eastern oyster gathering nationwide, even where they are abundant. It would also prohibit oyster aquaculture and possibly inhibit wild oyster restoration efforts by restricting the search for disease-resistant wild oyster strains to re-seed previous oyster habitats.
The controversy partly stemmed from the way the Endangered Species Act is written. Under the act, invertebrates—unlike vertebrates—can't be considered endangered in a portion of their range; they must be listed everywhere or nowhere. Also, a petitioner cannot ask that a species be listed as "threatened," rather than "endangered"; NMFS must make that distinction. A "threatened" designation—what Busch says he sought—would allow flexibility in managing the oyster population, including exempting aquaculture and restrictions in particular regions.
Shellfish farmers from New England to the Gulf of Mexico testified vehemently against the petition before the U.S. House Committee on Resources in July. At the same time, the committee chairman, Richard W. Pombo (R.-Calif.), author of a recently passed House bill that rolls back habitat protection provisions in the ESA, called the petition "a big hammer" and used it as evidence of problems with the act. Environmental groups, according to Busch, said the oyster petition controversy was adding ammunition to attacks on the ESA.
"Any individual has the right to (file a petition), but it's not an everyday occurrence," said Teri Frady, a Fisheries spokesperson in Woods Hole, Mass. "The agency responds to all petitions," though many never get past the initial 90-day review. Busch's petition did, and NMFS assembled a team of state and federal fisheries experts to conduct a "full status review" of the species, using "the best available scientific and commercial information" on historic and current populations, conditions and protection efforts, habitat destruction, harvesting levels, disease, predation, and possible subspecies.
The team's report was due before January 2006. But on Oct. 13, Busch withdrew his petition. Busch said he was "blindsided" by the barrage of negative reactions to his petition by people who did not fully understand the act or the petition process and concluded that his petition would lead to "endangered" status and the most severe restrictions for the eastern oyster.
Marta Nammack, National ESA Listing Coordinator at NMFS, said she could not remember any previous time when an ESA petition was withdrawn. Nevertheless, NMFS has decided that the already established review team will proceed with its study of the eastern oyster, including in Chesapeake Bay.
Which is precisely what Busch wanted in the first place.
"O Oysters," said the Carpenter,
"You've had a pleasant run!
Shall we be trotting home again?"
But answer came there none..."
—from "The Walrus and the Carpenter" by Lewis Carroll
Hoping to save the economically important Chesapeake Bay oyster farming industry, Maryland and Virginia have proposed replacing declining native eastern oysters with an introduced species: Asian oysters. Larger, faster-growing, and more disease-resistant than the native species, Asian oysters sound too good to be true—and indeed they might be.
Researchers in both states are raising sterile Asian oysters (Crassostrea ariakensis) and placing them in parts of the bay in highly controlled experiments, to find out how they grow, compete with native oysters, and whether they avoid disease and predation.
That, along with long-standing pollution concerns about the bay itself, spurred Wolf-Dieter Busch, to file a petition asking the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) to designate the eastern oyster (Crassostrea virginica) as a federally protected threatened or endangered species. That triggered the formation of a team of fisheries experts to assess the status of the eastern oyster species and, if necessary, propose ways to protect them.
Fears about a takeover
Busch, owner of Environmental Initiatives Advisory Services in Maryland, believes that introducing Asian oysters to Chesapeake Bay is unwise because "it will cause stress on the remaining eastern oysters through competition for limited habitats," and because it is not clear that the Asian oyster, once released, will remain sterile. Introducing Asian oysters, Busch says, "may also result in hybridization between the species. And how long would it take for the Asian oyster to be transported out of the Chesapeake to other eastern oyster habitat sites along the Atlantic and Gulf coasts?" Some scientists agree with that assessment.
"Oyster larvae spend two to three weeks drifting on currents before they settle," said William Walton, shellfish and aquaculture researcher with Woods Hole Sea Grant and Cape Cod Cooperative Extension. "What are the implications of two states making that decision potentially for an entire coastal range?"
The once legendary abundance of eastern oysters fell precipitously in the late 19th through the 20th centuries, and Atlantic coast harvests of wild oysters are now 2 percent of historic high levels. Within Chesapeake Bay, harvests are less than 0.2 percent of historic levels.
Generations of overharvesting have driven down native populations. On top of this, the oyster has been dealt severe blows by two introduced protozoan diseases, known as Dermo and MSX, which kill nearly all eastern oysters in saltier areas of the Chesapeake before they grow to harvestable size. Because of disease, attempts to restore commercially viable populations of native oysters in the Chesapeake have been mostly unsuccessful.
Cleaning the water as they eat
As wild oysters have steadily disappeared, oyster harvesters have increasingly turned to aquaculture for a reliable yield. Oyster farming is now a successful part of all shellfish aquaculture from Maine to the Gulf of Mexico.
In Massachusetts, "the income from oysters is about 50 percent of all aquaculture," Walton said. "Oysters command a higher price than clams, and they are flexible to being grown in different areas. They can be grown on various bottoms or suspended in the water, shallow or deep, and in bays."
In Chesapeake Bay, culturing native oysters—by interested citizens and commercial growers—is also an essential part of future plans to maintain the species and clean the bay's water, since oysters are filter-feeding animals that remove large amounts of algae from the water. However, disease kills farmed oysters as well as wild, and that is why there is strong interest in bringing in Asian oysters for aquaculture.
"Growers will select for disease-resistant [native] animals and breed them," Walton said, "but that takes longer."
Asian oysters could also contribute substantially to cleaning the bay, if enough of the sterile ones can be grown in hatcheries and controlled once they're in the environment. But "introductions of exotic species have generally caused more problems than benefits," Busch warned, "and usually cannot be reversed."
Researchers are also investigating whether genetic differences they see in oysters are enough to consider the Chesapeake region's native oysters a distinct "subspecies" that could then be regulated by NMFS separately from other regions. But research to determine this takes time, and by law, NMFS had to rule on Busch's petition by January 2006. On Oct. 13, Busch withdrew his petition. NMFS now has the option to continue the eastern oyster species status review without deadlines.

JERUSALEM — Coloured toffees rained down on the bar and bat mitzvah guests of honour and whoops of elation filled the Western Wall plaza as 35 IDF orphans marked their coming of age in a group ceremony in Jerusalem.
Some 100 family members and friends, as well as educators, volunteers, army brass and benefactors, took part in the festive day in late October.
The children hailed from across the country and were brought together by the fact they all lost a parent in the Israel Defence Forces. The event was organized by the IDF Widows and Orphans Organization (IDFWO), which holds a celebration in Jerusalem annually for the coming-of-age children.
The day began with a tour of Ammunition Hill, a gifts ceremony at Aish HaTorah in the Old City, dancing and singing at the Kotel (and tfilin prayers for the boys), and then a gala event with Israeli President Shimon Peres, IDF Chief of Staff Benny Gantz and other supporters at the Jerusalem Theater.
"It's definitely festive seeing young Jewish kids at the Kotel, these kids who lost a father in the IDF. It makes me feel proud," said Daniel Tuksar, director of resource development at IDFWO.
Wearing white shirts emblazoned with the numeral 13 for the boys and 12 for the girls, the kids – who also meet up during the year for summer camp in Toronto and holiday-related events in Israel – were obviously excited by the affair.
"It's just a really fun day, and we get to meet up with our friends," said Hila Levis, 12, from Rishon Lezion.
But this is a group no one wants to be a part of, unless fate decides otherwise. A sense of sorrow was also very present together with the joy.
"I'm happy to be here. I really like Jerusalem – it gives me a special feeling," said Shany Aharonov, 12, who lost her father in a Katyusha attack in 2006. "It's fun to be here with the group, but I also feel a loss."
Some of the children had already held parties for their friends.
"It's very emotional to be here with the group," said Gal Cohen of Binyamina. "I had a party with friends and family, and that was really fun. This is more of a ceremony. It's also fun, but there's also sadness."
IDF Chief Rabbi Rafi Peretz addressed the group with a congratulatory message that reiterated the army's commitment to the bereaved families.
There are more than 8,000 widows and orphans of the Israeli security forces in all sectors of Israeli life – Druze, Bedouin, Jewish, Christian and Muslim.
"Anashim achim anachnu [we are people who are kinsmen]," Rabbi Peretz said, quoting from the Bible. "This sentence is for everyone. For the Druze and the Bedouin among us. We are brothers. All of us."
Bar and bat mitzvah ceremonies in Israel are usually hosted by the father of the child. In this case, the IDFWO takes responsibility.
"This ceremony is very emotional. We feel that our husbands didn't die for nothing and that there is someone standing behind us," said Rivka Boanish, the mother of 13-year-old Oz. Her late husband, Yitzhak Boanish, was killed in a 2002 ambush in Hebron. He left behind seven children, Oz being the youngest.
"The IDFWO support really encourages us," Boanish added. "We really are one nation struggling for our existence."
The rabbi's words were poignant for the four Toronto guests as well.
"My heart breaks for the families. We know that without the IDF the Jews in Canada wouldn't be able to live as freely as they do with their heads up. We're grateful we can be here to celebrate with them," said Peter Ekstein, an IDFWO benefactor who attended the big day with his wife, Stella.
"Like Rabbi Peretz said, we have a responsibility to take care of one another. That's why we're here."

When Karen Morgan was diagnosed with celiac disease 10 years ago - a "deathly sick" form of it - she stared it down like a good Texan. Give up favourite foods? No way!
Adhering to her pleasure principle, she became a self-taught gluten-free baker - such a good one that her cookbook, Blackbird Bakery GlutenFree caught my eye. The photos of her recipes would stand up in a chic Donna Hay food shot. She once sold her baking online but now sticks to teaching and talking.
I telephoned her in Austin to ask her how she beautified the world of gluten-free foods.
"All the gluten-free cookbooks were below par, in my opinion," she says. "They never had photos of any of the finished products because it was too embarrassing to show what the recipes looked like. Breads were like bricks, desserts ran all over the pan or were dry and crumbly. The [retail] food products weren't much better, with sandy, grindy textures.
"I was raised a foodie and I felt very patronized. Friends told me to buck up but I couldn't stand the thought that this would be my life forever."
She worked at re-creating cakes, cookies, tarts - all of it - and if it didn't look and taste as good as their wheat-based counterparts, she just kept at it until she nailed it. "I put the gluten-free cookbooks aside and didn't reference them at all.
"I needed something completely different."
She concedes, though, that much has changed and that those were the pioneer days when people with celiac disease were doing the best they could with the ingredients they had. And she's not surprised at the growing numbers of people avoiding gluten. "Our bodies can only tolerate certain levels of gluten before it becomes toxic. We can't tolerate it. In Italy, the land of pasta, the government offers subsidies to people requiring gluten-free food."
She says today's wheat contains 50 times more gluten than the wheat of 100 years ago, and people eat much more of it to boot.
What's also changed, to the relief of many sufferers, is what's available in the gluten-free world in recent years.
Local holistic nutritionist and culinary instructor Andrea Potter agrees with Morgan. "It's come a long way in the past five years," she says.
"I was gluten intolerant a few years ago. I called it a wheat hangover. I'd feel bloated and be mentally groggy and tired. I bought gluten-free breads that were like door stops. You had to toast it and then slather things on it. Now they're a lot better, not so crumbly or heavy. We do one in my class that everyone in the family will eat."
At Choices Bakery, operations manager Lisa Wagner runs two separate bakeries - one for traditional baking and the other gluten-free, to avoid gluten contamination.
"We have constant demand for more and more product in our eight stores," she says.
The gluten-free bakery opened in 1999 and back then, it was called a "rice bakery." Now, it's a different story.
With gluten-intolerant and glutensensitive people joining the ranks of celiac sufferers, there's an ever-growing number of alternative flours to bake with and satisfy demanding palates: almond, aramanth, millet, sorghum, tapioca, chestnut, arrowroot, buckwheat, quinoa, taro, teff and others. There are also varietals of them - glutinous rice flour (no gluten) is more elastic than regular rice flour.
Wagner uses garbanzo and fava bean flour for some cookies, as well as coconut flour. "Basically any grain or bean can be made into flour," she says. "We're working on changing flours around and inventing new ones. We also grind up nuts."
Choices now offers about 100 different gluten-free baked products, including seasonal items.
"We make everything from breads, corn biscuits, pizza shells, hamburger buns, cookies, muffins, squares to a whole line of cakes," says Wagner.
Professional bakers have learned it's best to combine the flours to maximize flavour, texture and stability. Proportions depend on what it is they're baking.
In North America, the go-to substitute for wheat flour began with rice flour. In place of gluten, they use guar gum (made from the seeds of guar bean) and xantham gum (produced by fermentation of glucose, sucrose or lactose).
Potter's business, Rooted Nutrition, offers alternative cooking classes including gluten-free baking. She says she can't keep up with the demand for gluten-free classes.
"The classes are over-filled. The last time, people signed on for dates have hadn't yet been announced," says Potter. "Now they can buy everything they need for gluten-free baking at places like Choices, Whole Foods and Famous Foods."
She says that at first, people followed good recipes closely. "The pioneers took it on themselves. Now professionals who understand a little more about the science and process are developing recipes. I found my pastry background helpful - if a cake fell, I could diagnose the problem. But it's still in a pioneering stage," she says.
Morgan's mission is to empower people with celiac disease or gluten intolerance and to sidestep the culinary helplessness she sees in the growing tribe of the gluten-free.
"You don't have to sacrifice everything you've known to be good. They can have a lifestyle that's about pleasure and joy and feel like they haven't given anything up."
This pancake recipe can be adapted to your craving, says Karen Morgan. Add ½ cup of blueberries, bananas, or chocolate chips or a few dashes of cinnamon. You can have the dry mix at the ready by mixing it up ahead of time and storing in a cool, dry place for up to three months. When adding fresh fruit or chocolate, just sprinkle some on top of the pancake before you flip it.
- From Blackbird Bakery Gluten-Free by Karen Morgan
¼ cup (60 mL) plus 2 tablespoons (30 mL) almond flour
½ cup (120 mL) millet flour
2 tablespoons (30 mL) glutinous rice flour
2 tablespoons (30 mL) sugar
1 teaspoon (5 mL) guar gum
½ teaspoon (2 mL) kosher salt
½ teaspoon (2 mL) baking soda
½ teaspoon (2 mL) baking powder
2 large eggs, beaten
1 cup (250 mL) organic buttermilk
1 tablespoon (15 mL) unsalted butter, melted
Safflower oil cooking spray In a large bowl, combine all the dry ingredients and stir with a whisk to blend. Add the eggs, buttermilk and melted butter, and stir until smooth.
Heat a large skillet or a griddle over medium-low heat. Spray the pan with safflower oil spray. Run your hands under the faucet to wet your fingertips and then shake them over the hot griddle. If the water dances across the pan, pour ¼ cup batter into the pan; for small pancakes, use 2 tablespoons batter. Cook until bubbles form on the top of each pancake; turn and cook until golden brown on the bottom. Transfer to a baking sheet and keep warm in 200 F (93 C) oven while cooking the remaining batter.
Makes 8 large or 16 small pancakes
"These are gluten-free, high in protein and easy to make. They're delicious on their own or filled with ratatouille or any filling that you would put into a sweet or savoury crepe. "
- Andrea Potter, of Rooted Nutrition
1½ cups (375 mL) chickpea flour
1 to 2 teaspoons (5 to 10 mL) ground cumin (optional)
1½ cups (375 mL) water
2 tablespoons (30 mL) olive oil Salt to taste
Place flour (and optional cumin) in a bowl and slowly add water as you whisk. Add olive oil and salt to taste. Whisk ingredients together so there are no lumps.
Let rest for at least ½ hour. (Will keep for a few days in the fridge.) In a non-stick or cast iron pan or crepe pan on medium-high heat, add a bit of olive oil. Ladle 4 to 6 ounces (114 to 170 g) batter into the pan. Flip when bubbly on the surface and then brown on other side.
Serve hot simply with butter, or use as a wrap or crepe for all kinds of fillings.
Makes 3 to 4 servings
"Dosas are South Indian sourdough crepes. This versatile batter is used for many different dishes. The batter keeps well - I have used it for a week after fermenting, so I often double the recipe for quick and easy meals and snacks through the week. Store it in the fridge once it's fermented. The batter can also be frozen."

1/3 cup (80 mL) urad dal (or use split red lentils if urad dal isn't available)
1 cup (250 mL) basmati rice (brown basmati is preferable)
Wash and soak dal overnight or for at least 8 hours, using more than enough water to cover.
Wash and soak rice overnight or for at least 8 hours, using more than enough water to cover.
Day 2
Drain the rice and lentils. Put the lentils and rice together in the blender.
Add enough water to get it to blend until smooth. Pour this batter into a non-reactive container like a glass jar, earthenware pot or stainless steel vessel. Make sure there's a few inches of space at the top as it will rise.
Cover the fermenting container with a towel in a warm place, like on top of your fridge or on the counter if your house is warm. Between 8 and 24 hours it will be bubbly and smell slightly sour and might even smell bad. This is normal. If it is not bubbly, just give it a stir and leave it for a bit longer.
Once fermented add salt to taste (about 1/2 to 1 teaspoon or 2 to 5 mL), thin it with water if necessary to consistency of heavy cream.
Making the dosa:
Heat up a ceramic non-stick or cast iron pan and melt 1 teaspoon (5 mL) of coconut oil or ghee. (You can get authentic dosa pans in Little India.
The crepes done in other pans may not come out as crispy, but are also pretty nice.)
Ladle about 3 ounces (85 g) of batter in the centre, spread with the back of the ladle in concentric circles from the centre outward to form a thin round crepe. Pour 1 teaspoon (5 mL) of ghee or coconut oil or oil over it.
Remove with offset spatula when crisp. Cook on the flip side for a few seconds.
You could serve it, hot, with a chutney or with the Masala Potatoes (see recipe).
Makes 4 to 5 servings)
Masala Potatoes
2 tablespoons (30 mL) oil (coconut or sunflower)
¾ tablespoon (10 mL) black mustard seeds
1 tablespoon (15 mL) urad dal (split lentils)
1 onion, chopped
1¼ tablespoons (20 mL) ginger
½ teaspoon (2 mL) cumin seeds
¾ tablespoon (10 mL) coriander seeds
4 large, diced starchy potatoes Salt to taste
1 cinnamon stick
½ teaspoon (2 mL) turmeric
1½ chilies
½ tablespoons (7 mL) ground cumin
½ cup tomato (125 mL) paste, or a couple cups diced tomatoes
Few curry leaves, if available
Water to come up to two-thirds of the potatoes
In a pot, add oil (coconut or sunflower), mustard seeds and urad dal. Cook over medium heat with a lid. Once mustard seeds have popped (and turned grey), add ginger and onion. Cook until translucent, stirring frequently.
Toss in cumin and coriander seeds and cook until fragrant. Now add the potatoes and the rest of the ingredients to the pot with the mustard seed mixture. Cook until the potatoes have absorbed the water. Season with sea salt, garnish with cilantro if you like.

Brushing aside the objections of transparency advocates, President Obama on Monday signed a law that scales back some of the financial disclosure requirements in the Stock Act, which was intended to prevent lawmakers from benefiting from insider trading.
Mr. Obama signed the legislation without fanfare after the Senate and House rushed through the bill late last week with little public notice.
White House press secretary Jay Carney defended Mr. Obama�s action by saying that �both houses of Congress passed this bill unanimously.�
Mr. Carney also cited security concerns about posting online the financial information of some federal employees.
Before it was amended, the law would have required about 28,000 senior government officials to post their financial information online.
The measure exempts congressional aides and executive branch staffers from doing so. The president, vice president and lawmakers are still required to have their data posted.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, Nevada Democrat, introduced the bill Thursday and had the chamber vote on it late that evening. The House took the bill up Friday afternoon and passed it by unanimous consent.
House Republican leaders did not give lawmakers the traditional three days to read the bill before holding a vote, apparently because of a Monday deadline for the new disclosure mandates to take effect.
The National Academy of Public Administration said that posting the financial information online for tens of thousands of federal employees posed a national security risk. But the Sunlight Foundation, an open government group, said exempting staffers from online disclosure watered down the Stock Act, designed to stop insider trading by federal officials.
Last year, after CBS� �60 Minutes� did a report suggesting that some government officials were financially benefiting from insider knowledge of federal actions, Congress quickly passed the Stock Act.
Part of the law required that senior government officials� financial disclosure reports � which they are already required to submit in paper � be made available online in a searchable, sortable format. The intent was to increase transparency and make it easier for the public to ferret out illegalities.
The online disclosure provisions had not yet taken effect, and Congress asked the National Academy of Public Administration to review the law.
The group issued a report saying online posting would mean more sensitive information about high-level government employees would be easily available, which would make identify theft easier.
The Government Accountability Office said last week it was impossible to quantify how much political intelligence was being used in financial dealings.

In the latest sign of how hard J.C. Penney (NYSE:JCP) has fallen, the struggling department store is being kicked out of the S&P 500.
Continue Reading Below
Shares of J.C. Penney, which have already tumbled 55% so far this year, initially shed another 1% Monday morning on the news before turning higher.
After Friday's closing bell, S&P Dow Jones Indices said J.C. Penney will be replaced in the prestigious S&P 500 by mechanical and electronic security company Allegion, which is being spun off from Ingersoll-Rand (NYSE:IR). The switch is scheduled to occur on November 29.
J.C. Penney will join the S&P MidCap 400, replacing struggling teen retailer Aeropostale (NYSE:ARO), which will move to the S&P SmallCap 600.
S&P Dow Jones Indices cited J.C. Penney's shrinking market cap, which now stands at just $2.7 billion, compared with almost $19 billion for Macy's (NYSE:M) and $12 billion for Nordstrom (NYSE:JWN).
Last week, J .C. Penney disclosed a deeper-than-feared quarterly loss due to tumbling sales. However, the company reassured investors by saying same-store sales and gross margins should grow sequentially and year-over-year in the pivotal fourth quarter.
J.C. Penney is struggling to turn the corner following the April ouster of former CEO Ron Johnson, whose strategy to move away from discounts badly hurt sales and traffic.
The company also grappled with a public battle with major shareholder and board member Bill Ackman, who has since exited his bad bet in J.C. Penney.
Shares of Plano, Texas-based J.C. Penney rallied 2.82% to $9.12 on Monday morning despite the news.
J.C. Penney had been the final mail-order house to remain in the S&P 500, according to S&P Capital IQ's Howard Silverblatt.
Sears Holding (NASDAQ:SHLD), another mail-order house that was an original member of the S&P 500, was booted from the index last year. Other mail-order companies that had been on the S&P 500 include Montgomery Ward, Gimbel Brothers and Woolworth.
The shift highlights the growing dominance of e-commerce, led by online retail king Amazon.com (NASDAQ:AMZN), which sports the 17th highest market valuation in the S&P 500.
"Fifty or sixty years ago I (OK, my mother) ordered merchandise from a mail order house, and today I waive my finger above my smartphone (while walking)," Silverblatt wrote in a note on Friday. "Maybe I'll order a book, a hard copy, printed book."

These pricey new vehicles leave us questioning their parentage. Are they only fancy cars trying to masquerade as trucks? Would anyone of us dare risk scratching their shiny paint while searching for calves in the blackberry brambles?
Pickup truck historians will call this the Age of Wretched Excess. Those of us who learned to drive in vintage chassis-rattling pickups with cardboard duct-taped to the floorboard now stand agape at what we see on America's backroads.
Uncle Samp, with memories of mighty struggles with a Model A converted into a truck still fresh in his mind, would never believe what's coming down the road today. There's no better symbol of this whole parade than the brand new 2002 Cadillac Escalade EXT. That's right, a Cadillac truck. Based on the Suburban chassis, the four-door, two-seat Caddy will hum along at 300 to 350 hp, with a pushrod V-8 engine. General Motors says it may make as many as 100,000 Escalades yearly.
Racing right along with it is the Lincoln Blackwood, another four-door behemoth, with a 4×8 bed covered in dark Wenge wood imported from central Africa, with aluminum slats to keep nasty cargo loads from marring the beautiful stuff. Geared to a more exclusive market, and, presumably, constrained by the availability of Wenge wood and other gee-gaws, Lincoln will only build 10,000 a year.
There's already a waiting list. Just recently, Lincoln put 50 special 2002 Neiman Marcus Edition Blackwoods on sale in Irvine, Calif., and they sold out in less than eight hours, though the truck wasn't even there. Buyers, who ordered by phone, will take delivery in the fall. These Neiman Marcus Blackwoods, priced at $58,800, feature a 7-inch Panasonic LCD Wide Screen DVD/Video-CD/CD player with a game center hook-up and two wireless headphones. There's also a cooler/warmer large enough to hold goodies for two, Lincoln says, though that might depend on just how much those two could eat and drink.
Not content for the Blackwood to be its only entry in the luxurious-beyond-belief pickup truck race, Ford is also now selling the F-650 Super CrewZer. This thing is a traffic stopper, basically a four-door semi-truck with a 105 × 95 × 12-inch bed box. It has a curb weight of 13,500 pounds and is powered by a 7.2L Caterpillar 3126B inline-six 300 hp turbo-diesel engine. With a 194-inch wheelbase, it has an Allison MD 3066 six-speed automatic transmission and two overdrives.
Seemingly built for pulling fifth-wheelers, Ford calls the Super CrewZer the ultimate towing machine. Nobody is going to have problems getting the bass boat to the lake with this big rig. For those who might get bored on the ride, there's an overhead entertainment system with a 6.4-inch screen, Nintendo, a TV antenna, universal remote control, and two wired headphones. All for just a little more than $81,000.
Now, I'll never knock a little comfort. My buddy Mark's dad used to ride his farms in what he called his "field Caddy," and that's just what it was. He'd bump furrows and plunge through ditches in a Cadillac just a couple of years removed from the dealer's showroom, but only because he'd replaced it with a newer model. We thought that was cool. Mark sometimes borrowed the field Caddy for social occasions, ratcheting us considerably further up the high school hotshot scale than my old Ford Falcon could take us.
But no one ever mistook the field Caddy for a truck. These pricey new vehicles leave us questioning their parentage. Are they fancy cars masquerading as trucks? Would we dare risk scratching their shiny paint while searching for calves in the blackberry brambles? Will the grocery store parking lot be as close to the field as these so-called trucks get?
For those who'd like even a little more flair with their pickups, additional excess is on the way. Mercedes-Benz is testing a new pickup. We have no reports on how it responds to a good mud-stomping slam-bang ride across a just-harvested cotton field.
Stay tuned. Luxury and truck are two words that were never uttered together, until now. We'll see what words get uttered if these new models make it to the backcountry.

Translating Research into National-Scale Change: A Case Study from Kenya of WASH in Schools, 2011. SWASH Project.
Over the past 5 years CARE, Emory University's Center for Global Safe Water, and Water.org, through the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation-funded Sustaining and Scaling School Water, Sanitation and Hygiene Plus Community Impact (SWASH+) project, have worked to achieve sustainable and national-scale school WASH services in Kenya through applied research and advocacy. The project tested a multi-armed school WASH intervention through a randomized, controlled trial with multiple policy-relevant sub-studies. Research results were then used to advocate for policy change to bring about sustainable school WASH services nationally. These efforts have focused on improving budgeting for operations and maintenance costs, improving accountability systems with a focus on monitoring and evaluation, and more effectively promoting knowledge of WASH through teacher training and the national curriculum.
Advocacy objectives were developed through a problem-tree analysis and stakeholder analyses. SWASH+ used Outcome Mapping to track progress against these objectives. Specific advocacy goals were to identify important policy intervention areas, work with policymakers to update knowledge and identify learning gaps and then act as a learning adviser to the relevant ministries.
Though the project has not achieved all advocacy objectives, it can claim some advances. Lessons for effective school WASH advocacy gained from the program successes and mistakes are as follows:
1) Having a rigorous evidence base creates large amounts of credibility with policymakers.
2) Significant time and follow-up are needed as well as having staff with appropriate skills.
3) The "ripeness" of the external policy environment is crucial and can make or break efforts to affect national-scale change. Successful advocacy initiatives avoid being insular, focus on the external policy environment at the outset, assess data needs and stakeholder roles and responsibilities, and set
reasonable objectives.

Cazenovia boys lacrosse heading to championship game
The Lakers staved off late comeback for 8-7 semifinal win
PITTSFORD >> Cazenovia head coach Jim Longo said he felt like he was 14 years old again, adrenaline pumping and breathing a sigh of relief along with the rest of his squad, who all were holding their breath down to the last minute of Wednesday's semifinal game against Penn Yan Academy. The Lakers escaped a late comeback to hold on for the win, 8-7, and advance to the NYSPHSAA Class C lacrosse championship game on Saturday. Cazenovia will play the winner of Bronxville and Shoreham-Wading River for the Class C title.
"Our defense played outstanding starting with our goalie (Trevor Cross)," said Longo. "The was probably the difference today."
It was a game that Caz dominated for the opening 30 minutes despite Penn Yan tallying the first goal when Ryan Maciejewski picked up the ground ball off a sloppy Laker pass and put it past Trevor Cross halfway through the opening quarter. Despite the goal, Cazenovia remained in control, pushing possession back down into Penn Yan territory and peppering Brandon Maciejewski. After plenty of quality shot attempts -- and one pretty, no-look goal by Ryan Cook that was called back -- Cook rolled off his defenseman and went low to high to tie the game up at one-all. Mere minutes later P.J. Brown brought the ball from behind the cage to give Caz its first lead of the game. This time Penn Yan responded when Rion Davison found a fairly open Austin Fingar on the left side for a 2-2 end to the first quarter.
Bradley Voigt scored from behind the back to turn the lead back over to Penn Yan in the first three minutes of the second quarter but it was the only goal for Penn Yan in the quarter.
That's when the Lakers took over the reigns.
"Our offense did a great job of finding the match-ups and cashing in on the transition," said Longo. "Our ride was working particularly well in the first half that gave us some good turnovers and built us a cushioned lead."
Cazenovia's attack rolled with four unanswered goals and a completely dominant second quarter for 6-3 lead heading into the half. It started with Cook as he buried his second of the game after Connor Cannizzaro found him on the run for an easy one-on-one goal. Henry Mann made it 4-3 in Caz's favor and Cannizzaro netted his first of the game less than a minute later for a two-goal Laker lead. Cook capped off the quarter with a hat trick after another great deke on his d-pole for a cushioned three-goal gap heading into the half.
But in the second half momentum changed after Cazenovia tallied two goals when Penn Yan began to mount a comeback.
"Credit to (Penn Yan) they are a really good team and we gave them a few opportunities," said Longo.
Opportunities that proved daring as the Penn Yan offense swarmed and the team's defense shutout Cazenovia for the final 25 minutes of the game. Penn Yan brought the game to 8-5 heading into the final frame. Maciejewski led the charge netting two in the second half and bringing the game within two. Voigt cut the lead even more with just under five minutes to play whizzing one past Cross for an 8-7 score and a chance at the title game on the line.
"Our defense stayed grounded and did their job," said Longo. "And (Cross) remained outstanding, he really did."
But first it was the offense doing work as Cannizzaro and company stalled the ball in the Penn Yan zone until a good stick check forced a turnover with just 1:01 to play.
With two timeouts to burn, Penn Yan head coach Brian Hobart called timeout to regain possession on the restart. Caz briefly pushed it back into their offensive zone but with 35 seconds left Penn Yan caused another turnover for the possession and Hobart used his final timeout to set it up.
But Cross and the defense came up again, staving off two shots for the win and a shot at the championship game.
Even a half-hour after the game's end, Longo said he still hadn't caught his breath.
"Ask me how I am feeling Saturday," he said with a chuckle.
Cazenovia 2 4 2 0 8
Penn Yan 2 1 2 2 7

Checking in on… the MAACPosted by Brian Goodman on February 1st, 2011
Ray Floriani of College Chalk Talk is the RTC correspondent for the MAAC and NEC conferences.
A Look Back
Fairfield is now the front-runner in the MAAC, with a two-game lead just past the conference midway mark. Coming off two convincing wins at home, St. Peter's has sole possession of second place. Despite early season injuries, coach John Dunne has kept the Peacocks on track and now they look very dangerous heading into the stretch.
BracketBuster pairings were announced Monday. They will be held February 18-20. The MAAC's involvement includes a variety of intriguing matchups:
- Canisius at Boston University
- Austin Peay at Fairfield
- Iona at Liberty
- Loyola at Towson
- Manhattan at Stony Brook
- New Hampshire at Marist
- Central Michigan at Niagara
- Delaware at Rider
- St. Peter's at Loyola-Chicago
- Maine at Siena
Power Rankings
1. Fairfield (17-4, 10-1). A perfect three-game stretch as the Stags won 57-49 at Niagara, then edged Manhattan 61-59 at home, and dropped Canisius by 15. OE was just 85 at Niagara, but they limited the Purple Eagles to a 73 efficiency. The game with Manhattan was a lot closer than anticipated. Credit the Jaspers with a 37-26 OREB percentage edge and for forcing Fairfield into a 25% TO rate. The defense prospered again at home against the Golden Griffins.
Notable: Derek Needham scored 16 points including the game-winning three pointer with 8.7 seconds left against Manhattan. The sophomore guard has paced Fairfield in scoring five of the last six games.
2. St. Peter's (13-9, 8-3) Extended their win streak with home conquests of Marist (85-53) and Rider (80-60). On the season, St. Peter's' offensive efficiency is 92. In those two games, the OE was 125 and 111, respectively. The Peacocks are not neglecting the defensive end, as they limited the opposition to 78 and 83 efficiencies in those two respective games.
Notable: Ryan Bacon earned player of the Week honors in the MAAC by averaging 18.5 points and eight rebounds. Bacon also shot 67% from the floor during the two-game stretch.
3. Rider (15-8, 7-4) Split with a road win 61-59 at Iona followed by an 80-60 loss at St. Peter's on Sunday. The Broncs held Iona to an 89 efficiency mark on the defensive end. St. Peter's, on the other hand, rang up an 111 OE. Broncs had their second-lowest offensive efficiency of the season, 83, at St. Peter's, largely due to a 28% TO rate.
Notable: Senior Justin Robinson had 19 points, including 18 in the second half in the win at Iona. Robinson made a crucial basket to give the Broncs a four-point lead with 15 seconds left.
4. Loyola (11-10, 7-4) – The Greyhounds split at home, losing to Siena 76-59 before edging Iona 88-85. Defense, or a shortage thereof, was an issue. Loyola surrendered efficiencies of 112 and 113 in the respective contests. They pulled the Iona game out with a 117 OE of their own and an outstanding 13% TO rate.
Notable: Freshman guard Justin Drummond earned MAAC Rookie of the Week honors with his first career double-double. Drummond scored 14 points, grabbed ten rebounds and blocked four shots in the win over Iona.
5. Iona (13-9, 7-4) – The Gaels have dropped three straight following losses to Rider (61-59) and at Loyola (88-85). Offense was tough to come by in the Rider matchup; the Gaels posted a 42% eFG percentage and managed only an 89 OE. At Loyola the offense picked up with a 53% eFG and 113 offensive efficiency. The defense struggled, allowing Loyola an 117 OE on their end.
Notable: Junior Kyle Smyth scored 17 points on 7-13 shooting) in the loss to Rider. Junior guard Scott Machado added 12 points and seven assists.
6. Siena (9-12, 6-5) – The Saints inched over .500 in the MAAC by defeating Loyola 76-59 in Baltimore before edging Niagara 61-59 at home. Siena posted an outstanding 112 OE at Loyola, limiting the Greyhounds to an 87 efficiency on defense. Against Niagara, the Saints shot a torrid 56% eFG mark but a 26% TO rate made this a nail-biter.
Notable: Ryan Rossiter became the second in school historyand just the eighth player in the MAAC to reach the 1,000 rebound mark. Rossiter did it in the win over Loyola.
7. Canisius (10-11, 4-7). Two home games and the Griffs took advantage, before an unsurprising loss at the hands of Rider. They edged Iona 75-73 before handling rival Niagara 69-54. Canisius shot a torrid 63% EFG percentage against the Gaels. They continued to show a hot hand with a 55% eFG performance and 117 offensive efficiency against Niagara. It was reported recently that Kansas State big man Freddy Asprilla will pack his bags for Buffalo to join Tom Parrotta's troops.
Notable: Julius Coles had 20 points in the win over Niagara. Coles shot 7-12 overall and 4-6 from three in that contest. Senior Elton Frazier added 11 points and seven boards.
8. Marist (4-19, 3-8) Dropped an 85-53 decision at St. Peter's before returning home and losing a 60-59 heart breaker to Manhattan at the McCann Center. The Red Foxes gave up an 125 efficiency on the defensive end at St. Peter's. Offensively, they managed just 78 OE. Against Manhattan, they had an outstanding 16% TO rate but again the difference was defense as Marist allowed a 109 efficiency.
Notable: Sophomore swingman Dorvell Carter earned his first career double-double with a 14-point, ten-rebound effort against Manhattan. Carter has started the last seven games for Marist and is averaging 10.9 points and 5.6 rebounds during that time.
9. Manhattan (4-18, 2-9) Split on the road dropping a tough 61-59 decision to Fairfield before edging Marist 60-69. The Jaspers forced Fairfield into a 25% TO rate. The Marist matchup was little on the low scoring side but had offense. Jaspers had an offensive efficiency edge (109-107) and both teams were over 50% eFG percentage.
Notable: Freshman Michael Alvarado hit a 55-foot buzzer beater to defeat Marist. Alvarado had six assists and no turnovers in that game. His shot was termed 'biggest play in college basketball this year' by ESPN's Joe Lunardi.
10. Niagara (4-19, 1-10). Dropped contests at Canisius (69-54) and Siena (61-59). Niagara averages 69 possessions, but in the Canisius game, it was a 59 possession pace. Despite a slower tempo, the Purple Eagles struggled with a 25% TO rate. Defense was commendable at Siena. Niagara allowed only a 94 efficiency on the defensive end, 11 below their season average.
Notable: Guards Anthony Nelson and Marvin Jordan combined for 42 points against Canisius. Jordan paced all scorers with a career high 23 points in that game. Jordan followed that performance up with 18 points at Siena. Kashief Edwards added the same scoring total against the Saints.
A Look Ahead

Andy Cox - Law & Human Rights in Ghana
As an aspiring Barrister I quickly realised the importance of gaining practical work experience but with mini-pupillages and placements looming in the summer of second year I really wanted to do something a little bit different. Having done a gap year and travelled around Asia and North America I was well aware of the various companies that offer placements but there was something special about Projects Abroad.
Firstly they were the only ones to offer a specific law based project and the huge number of countries they operate in was impressive. However, I had heard some horror stories from friends at home who had spent their gap years sitting at the back of sweltering classrooms in the slums of Rio without a clue as to what was going on - hardly the 'hands on teaching placement' they signed up for.
It was therefore with some trepidation that I applied for a Human Rights placement in Ghana; a country which looked rugged enough to be a truly insightful cultural experience but where it would be possible to be comfortable enough to enjoy the project. The fact that my placement coincided was the World Cup, held in Africa for the first time, was obviously also a big draw!
Almost immediately it was clear to me that my initial fears were misplaced as the pre-departure information given was of the highest quality and the emails from Vera, who works at the local office in Accra, sorted out any problems or questions quickly and efficiently. Before I knew it I was at Heathrow being waved off by my family and although I was slightly apprehensive about my first time in Africa I was determined to say yes to as many experiences as possible. In hindsight it is this kind of approach which is essential to enjoying Africa.
Upon arriving at Accra airport I was met by Nyame, one of the local Projects Abroad staff and my first few sweltering minutes in this strange foreign land were spent watching a penalty shoot out between Paraguay and Japan on huge screens outside the airport. The passion shown by the locals not just for their team but for football in general was a clear sign of what was to come. I was then taken by taxi to my host family's house which was in a district called Nungua, a thirty minute taxi ride from the centre of Accra.
As it was late there were a few bleary eyed introductions before I settled down in a comfortable shared room, ready to be picked up by a Projects Abroad representative the following morning for an induction tour of Accra. This turned out to be immensely useful and a good opportunity to meet volunteers who had arrived at the same time as me as well as some of the local staff.
The purpose built guide book we were given was also brilliant and really helped in navigating the city and understanding what was available whilst on the project. I also had a proper meeting with my host 'mum', Nelly, who was extremely friendly and made me feel very welcome. There was also an opportunity to discuss any particular food we did or did not like and the couple of requests we did make (generally more red-red!) were always met.
My first day in the office followed and I travelled into work with my housemates, three of whom were on the same project. This helped immensely in finding the office, discovering the local area and meeting other volunteers in the office and is another example of the importance Projects Abroad put on the small details which really help their volunteers settle in. Within the hour I felt welcomed into the group and the friendliness of both the staff and the other volunteers was one of the memorable points of my experience.
Luckily for me I was put onto three projects at the office, one of which, the gold mining project, involved a fact finding trip to Obuasi, a town in the Kumasi region approximately 5 hours drive from Accra. This lasted for four days and was an incredible experience. To visit villages which rarely see white faces was something that I had never experienced before and being followed by a huge crowd of kids shouting and waving was strange at first but everyone we spoke to was so friendly it instilled a real sense of purpose about our trip and a shared determination to do what we could to realise the aims of the project.
Working alongside national organisations such as WACAM and Amnesty Ghana proved what an impact our work could have. Upon returning to the office I got stuck into my other projects which were concerned with teaching children how laws are made in Ghana and with the balance between human rights and the corresponding responsibilities that come with these in preparation for a whole office trip to a fishing village called Yeji in the east of the country.
Other people in the office were working on other projects and whilst on the trip different groups presented to different schools and community groups throughout the week. Again to get out of the capital and experience the more rural parts of the country was hugely satisfying and something I probably wouldn't have done if it were not for the office trips. During my time in the office I also got the chance to visit a session in the Ghanaian parliament and hold a meeting with the leaders of some of the other NGO's with similar aims to ours.
In addition to these travels many of the volunteers get together to do short excursions at weekends. By Tuesday each week various plans are made between people in the office and it is almost guaranteed that at least one group will be heading somewhere that you have not previously visited. The quiz held at the Projects Abroad Office in your region each week allows you to meet and plan with people outside of your own project and this creates a web of friendships through these events, office colleagues and housemates.
In my time in the office I visited Cape Coast including Kakum National Park and its famous canopy walk, the stunning beaches of Ada Foah (twice), and the exhausting waterfalls and caves in Hohoe with a number of different people. These trips were all great fun and provided a chance to really bond with many of the other volunteers.
The sheer number of volunteers around also makes it easy to organise some lengthier travel after your placement has finished. I spent a week heading to Mole National Park with four other volunteers from the office where we saw elephants, monkeys, baboons, buffalo, water bock, and warthogs. The baboons even stalked around the pool attempting to steal any food left around and occasionally accosting the odd sunbather! The trip was well worth the 15 hour bus journey and we even managed an overnight stop in Kumasi.
When exploring Ghana it is often the travel that is the most rewarding part of the experience - although an 8 hour journey on bumpy roads in a decrepit, sweltering, non-air conditioned bus buried underneath luggage and other bodies with a petrified goat strapped to the roof may not be everyone's cup of tea it becomes strangely natural when immersed in the culture and provides some of the more vivid memories of the trip.
Looking back the whole experience seems like a lifetime ago but I wouldn't change a single detail of it. Not only has it given me experience of a different perspective on life but it has proved immensely useful on work experience applications and will undoubtedly help me to stand out in future interviews. I would really like to return once I have established myself in the world of law to see how the country has developed and whether our projects have had a lasting impact.

WIU Receives DCEO Food Scrap Composting Grant
June 26, 2013
MACOMB, IL -- When adults told us at mealtime to "clean our plates," it wasn't just for the sake of ensuring we were getting the proper nutrients, but to reduce wasting "perfectly good food." They were on to something.
According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), food waste makes up the largest percentage of waste going into municipal landfills. To combat this issue, Western Illinois University recently received a grant from the Illinois Department of Commerce and Ecnomic Opportunity (DCEO) for the DCEO's Food Scrap Composting Revitalization & Advancement (F-SCRAP) program. Mandi Green, WIU sustainability coordinator and one of the co-authors of the grant, said the goals of the campus food waste composting program are to divert as much food waste from the landfill as possible and to produce a high-quality and beneficial addition to campus gardens. The $24,000 grant will allow Western to purchase two additional Earth Tubs and 12 collection bins.
Five years ago, Western purchased an Earth Tub food waste composting system, with most of the cost of the $12,000 system offset by grants. In 2012, during eight months of active food service on campus, approximately 21,742 pounds of food waste were collected and turned into compost.
"Current collections are approximately 100 pounds per day from our campus dining center," Green added. "With the purchase of two additional tubs and collection bins, we will double our current food scrap diversion rate. We will also be adding the University Union food vendors to the collection."
In addition to food scrap composting, Western composts all landscape waste, such as leaves and grass clippings.
The grant was co-authored by Tara Beal, landscape maintenance supervisor. Matching funds for the grant are provided by landscape maintenance.

Joost Luiten beat Miguel Angel Jimenez on the first playoff hole Sunday to win the KLM Open for his second European Tour title of the year.
Luiten became the first Dutch winner of his country's national open since Maarten Lafeber in 2003 and the first Dutchman to win twice in a season on the European Tour. He also won the Lyoness Open in Austria in June.
Jimenez made four early birdies to take the lead but Luiten rallied on the back nine at the Kennemer Golf & Country Club, with both making par on the 18th to force the playoff. Jiminez shot a 3-under 67 while Luiten had a 68. Both finished with 12-under totals of 268.
"It was tough. He was playing really, really good, especially on the front nine," Luiten said of the far more experienced Jimenez. "I thought 'I just have to hang in there until the back nine and hopefully I can make a move there,' and luckily it happened."
The players returned to the 18th tee and Luiten made par, while Jimenez hit his drive into the rough right of the fairway, left his second on the fringe and could not hole out in two.
On the back nine, Jimenez missed a birdie putt on the short par-5 12th, while Luiten sank his birdie putt to draw even at 13 under.
But the Spanish veteran, who won this tournament 19 years ago, responded immediately by rolling in a birdie on the 13th and stretched his lead to two strokes as Luiten's par putt slid past the hole.
Luiten birdied the 14th and Jimenez bogeyed the 15th and 17th to drop back level with Luiten and set up the playoff.
Three-time champion Simon Dyson's challenge for a fourth Dutch title faded at the 15th when he made a double bogey on the tough par 3. He finished tied for third at 9 under with Gregory Havret of France, Ross Fisher of England and Irishman Damien McGrane.

The broadcasting industry is settling into a new era of cautious optimism. With the global economy showing some signs of improvement, demand for consumer entertainment and advertising is also on the upswing supported by online channels.
Increased M&A activity, easing of regulatory barriers and advancement of broadband capabilities have opened the gate for new, larger, more aggressive competitors to enter the broadcasting ecosystem.
Accenture's annual value analysis research found that future values have increased threefold since 2012. While this signifies optimism in the broadcasting industry, it also highlights a crucial question: Where will growth come from to justify these lofty future values?
We believe that success will depend on increasing revenues and controlling costs through balanced investments in content, developing innovative approaches to monetizing existing assets, establishing a content-centric operating model that supports flexibility at low cost and optimizing the consumer experience.
Find out how broadcasters can strategize their next move for driving growth for their organization.

Plastic Deformation at Micron and Submicron Scales
Published on
Most people experiences the way objects plastically deform on a macroscopic scale. From a car crash to the bending of a paper clip plastic deformation occurs in the form of a smooth flow as a response of an applied stress. But due to the constant shrinking on the dimensions of mechanical devices -such as micro electro mechanical systems (MEMS) and micro electronic interconnects- the notion that plasticity is governed not by a steady flow but by the occurrence of intermittent avalanches of defects moving through the material is gaining increasing attention.
To model the deformation of metallic materials at micron and submicron scales a continuum theory of dislocations is derived. We will introduce the MicroMechanics Simulation Tool a dislocation mechanics simulation tool for the prediction of plastic deformation of single crystals. We will show some simulations that show the formation of structures and their influence in macroscopic deformation as for example the dependence on the yield stress on the characteristic size of the sample.

Feelin' myself I don't even need an x pill,
Can't chill but my neck will,
Haters really gon' be mad off my next deal,
Uh, I don't know why they really worry 'bout my pockets,
Meanwhile I had Oprah chillin' in the projects,
Had her out in Bed Stuy chillin' on the steps,
Drinking quarter waters I gotta be the best,
M-J at Summerjam, Obama on the text,
Y'all should be afraid of what I'm gonna do next.
Hold up

I also did the stupid thing of trying to activate two at one time, so I have to be extra careful not to contaminate the other one. Nothing usually goes smooth for me the first time, so I dont know if I am out of the woods yet.
I did the same thing. Just work on one at a time and keep things clean in between, and you'll be fine. Craig
These are pictures of how my starters are doing this morning. Before I fed and water them, I was wondering if anyone can tell me how long starters usually take to become active enough to be then placed in the refrigerator. I don't think I was feeding my starters enough, and now am going to make sure I try to feed them every 6 hours. The liquid is still clear on the top and its looks like they are okay, but I have many questions about them. Do I still keep feeding the amount of water and flour it says in the book and just keep feeding every 6 hours?Any ideas would be appreciated,Norma
Just a few more feedings should do it. The goal should be to have the starter expand so violently that it cracks the container. Nice Norma.
Norma - I'm glad I can provide some entertainment value.
Awhhh...you're making me blush and that's not easy for an asian dude.
I had to run some errands this evening and when I returned home, I was pleasantly surprised. Can anyone tell me if my starters are now ready to be put in the refrigerator, after I clean up the mess? Thanks,Norma
Matt,I am not sure, because I was running errands (for about an hour and a half), but from the time I fed the starters until I arrived home from the errands it was 4 hours. I did see before I left that the starters had risen about 3 inches from the rubber band.Norma
I'm assuming that by this point the culture has been refrigerated, correct? Did you feed it prior to refrigerating it?Matt
Matt,Yes, I did refrigerate the starters. The book didn't tell me to feed them before refrigerating, I only thought you feed the starters before refrigerating after activating them with a feed and then another feed before refrigerating them. Did I do something wrong? That book isn't the best in giving instructions.Thanks,Norma

SAN LUIS OBISPO, CA -- High school freshmen in many California districts must pass five of six fitness exams or face the possibility of extra years in physical education classes, according to the San Luis Obispo Tribune.
The legislation written by state Sen. Tom Torlakson and signed by Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger went into effect this school year. Each year that students continue to fail two or more tests results in another year of physical education class.
The testing does not affect students' ability to graduate, Torlakson told the newspaper. Ninth-graders who pass five of six tests still must take another year of P.E., but in many districts, they will have a choice of which year they enroll. California school districts typically require two years of P.E. to graduate, the newspaper reported, but not all districts have to comply with the legislation because of differences in the way they exempt certain students from physical education.
The six areas of fitness that are tested are aerobic capacity, body fat measurements, abdominal strength and endurance, trunk strength and flexibility, upper body strength and endurance, and overall flexibility.

New website gives all students a chance to experience campus life
Liberty University launched a new interactive website today designed to engage its online and residential students in campus events.
At www.liberty.edu/communities, students can watch live streaming events of Convocation (Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays at 10 a.m.) and Campus Church (Wednesdays at 7:30 p.m.). Recorded streaming events will be played throughout the day. Students can participate in a live-chat feature, submit private prayer requests to the Campus Pastors office, take notes, and get connected with a counselor at Liberty. There is also a map of churches and Facebook and Twitter integration. Students will have an opportunity to volunteer for Christian Service to help moderate the live chat.
With more than 80,000 online students, Chancellor Jerry Falwell, Jr. has led the effort to find ways to make the online experience similar to what is offered residential students.
Ted Whitney, director of the Online Communities site, said the new website "makes use of the latest technology to engage our students studying from all areas of the world."
Campus Pastor Johnnie Moore has been involved in the jump-start of the website. Last year he sponsored a test event when Liberty held "Church on Facebook" with about an estimated 40,000 viewers.
"Naturally we thought that this technological innovation provided a platform upon which we can deliver more of the community components that make the spiritual atmosphere here so strong—so much of our trademark," he said.
With the launching of this site, the dream "to replicate the community experience from the resident campus to the online side of the university" can become a reality, Moore said. "It's the beauty of the 21st century."
