Extreme Cuisine with Jeff Corwin Episodes
Season 2, Episode 2
Jeff Corwin explores the cultural regions of Spain in search of their culinary specialties. On the rough coast of Galicia, known as the Coast of Death, he dives headfirst into a job that claims the lives of several fishermen a year in search of prized gooseneck barnacles that thrive in the rough seas. Jeff hunts down the flavorful and savored ham of acorn-eating Iberico pigs in La Alberca as he travels inland and participates in an annual harvest ritual celebrating a species of wild green onion in Valls. To wrap up his tasty adventure, he visits a bustling Barcelona market in search of pig parts to make a classic Catalan escudella, and he tries out his cooking skills as he prepares bacalao a pil pil, a difficult cod dish, for a men's club in San Sebastian.

Yeah, I think its clearly wholly dependent upon Wallace leaving. But that still seems pretty likely, right?
They could continuing franchising him when the opportunity presents itself. I don't think it's foregone at this point.

A new book, "Emusoi" — to be published this October — tells the story of six Masai girls in Tanzania who had the opportunity — rare in their culture — to get an education. The girls were taught at the Maryknoll-sponsored Emusoi Center.
Last year, CNS ran a story about this center — founded and run by Maryknoll Sister Mary Vertucci — that educates Masai girls whose culture often has them married at age 14. According to Sister Mary, only 11 Masai women out of the 1 million living in Tanzania have a university degree.
"Emusoi" means discovery and awareness in Maa, the Masai language. More information about the center can be found here.

Hilary Duff worries about raising son in spotlight
The actress, who gave birth to Luca in March (12), shot to fame as a youngster playing the title role in Disney teen sitcom Lizzie McGuire, but admits she would think twice before letting her little boy pursue a career in Hollywood.
She tells Parents.com, "I'd say, 'Are you sure?' (if my son wanted to act). My sister and I said that same thing to my mom, and she encouraged us. I'm so happy she did, and I would not change my life for anything. But it's tough, and it's totally different than it used to be.
"I am even scared of (Luca) growing up getting his picture taken all the time and feeling different. I saw a rag magazine the other day - I was having my hair done or something - and the headline said, 'Who Wore It Better?' and the photo showed (Tom Cruise's daughter) Suri Cruise and so-and-so's kid. They had the same dress on, and (magazine editors) put these kids up against each other. I'm just thinking that this is sickening. Now that I'm a mom and I have a child, I can't imagine. It's not right."

In a surprise announcement, Macy's Inc., considered an outperformer in the department store sector, on Wednesday said it plans to cut 2,500 jobs, shut five underperforming stores and consolidate districts as it shifts resources with an increased focus on integrating online and in-store sales.
The layoffs stem from the company's plans to reducing the number of districts, and to eliminate district planners for home furnishings, an area where the company said tastes are fairly steady, therefore the inventory doesn't require as much planning as other sectors like apparel. Other job cuts will come from store-level employees and the consolidation of certain central office, administrative and back-office functions. Macy's said that, as it invests in online operations and new stores, it still expects to have a total of 175,000 employees. As the company shuts five stores this spring, it said it will add five new stores under the Macy's banner and three under its Bloomingdale's brand.
"Our company has significantly increased sales and profitability over the past four years, and we have created a culture of growth at Macy's," said Chief Executive Terry Lundgren. "We began five years ago with a set of business strategies that were largely untested by a national retailer of our size and scope. As the success of these strategies has unfolded, we have identified some specific areas where we can improve our efficiency without compromising our effectiveness in serving the evolving needs of our customers."
He said the restructuring is in line with the company's strategy to tailor merchandise to local market demands, introduce better customer-service training and integrate online and in-store sales, including fulfilling online orders from stores.
The company also gave an update on its holiday sales. Same-store sales in November and December rose 3.6% and were up 4.3% when factoring in departments licensed to third parties. The company narrowed its second-half sales guidance to a range of 2.8% to 2.9%, from its prior guidance predicting an increase of between 2.5% and 4%. That equates to a fourth-quarter sales increase of 2.3% to 2.5%, Macy's said. Analysts surveyed by Retail Metrics were looking for a sales gain of 2.6%.
However, while sales may disappoint, Macy's gave investors some comfort amid fears that deep holiday discounting may have hurt retailers' profit margin. Macy's kept its full-year profit outlook of $3.80 to $3.90 a share. It forecast same-store sales this year to rise 2.5% to 3% with per-share profit of $4.40 to $4.50 a share. Analysts were looking for profit of $3.87 a share last year and $4.36 a share this year, according to FactSet.
Macy's shares rose 5% Wednesday in after-hours trading.
Consensus estimates for retailers' fourth quarter sales have fallen as concerns mount that more retailers will give disappointing profit forecasts following what a range of data suggest was a disappointing holiday performance, despite a late December surge. Macy's /quotes/zigman/467976/delayed /quotes/nls/m M rival J.C. Penney Co. /quotes/zigman/237947/delayed /quotes/nls/jcp JCP on Wednesday slumped 10% after, for the first time in four months, it didn't give a specific number for its monthly sales update, raising fears that its sales could be worse than expected.
Bed, Bath & Beyond /quotes/zigman/68991/delayed /quotes/nls/bbby BBBY , for one, saw its shares plunging 9% in after-hours trading. The home-furnishings retailer reported a disappointing fiscal third-quarter profit and gave a disappointing fourth-quarter outlook. Its comparable sales in the quarter ended Nov. 30 rose 1.3%, missing consensus estimate of a 3.1% gain.

EVERETT — A new high school. A new elementary school. And $41 million in improvements at North Middle School. These are three of the biggest construction projects included in the Everett School District's $259 million bond issue, which voters will decide on Feb. 11.
The school district says there are good reasons these were selected for funding though the 20-year bonds.
Two of the district's high schools — Jackson and Cascade — are above capacity. Projected growth and a drive for smaller class sizes for the district's youngest students are behind the need for a new elementary school. And North Middle School, which opened in 1981 and has more than three decades of wear and tear, is in need of a major renovation, district officials say.
Mail-in ballots, which were sent to registered voters in the Everett district last week, actually have two money issues listed: the capital-improvement bond measure and a measure for the regular renewal of the district's maintenance and operations levy.
If both the bond and levy measures are approved, property owners would pay $6.55 per $1,000 of assessed valuation. The owner of a $250,000 home would pay $1,637 per year in taxes for schools. Of that, a little more than half — $3.54 per $1,000 in valuation — would go toward the regular levy's renewal and $3.01 per $1,000 in valuation would cover the capital-improvement bonds.
Everett school officials say the levy provides 23 percent of the school district's $203 million operating budget and needs to be continued to cover staff salaries, textbooks and classroom programs.
The construction projects are needed to keep up with projected enrollment growth, said Pam LeSesne, the school board president. The district estimates today's enrollment of 18,743 students could rise to 20,178 by 2022.
The Feb. 11 election follows several years of headlines about controversy and change, including two school-board resignations, which might affect voter attitudes:
Jessica Olson, a former school board member, resigned earlier this month with two years remaining on her term. She often questioned and sometimes clashed with fellow board members and the school district administration.
About a month before Olson quit, board member Jeff Russell resigned, citing personal reasons. Russell's seat this month was filled with the appointment of Caroline Mason. The board is in the middle of the process for appointing someone to Olson's seat.
And then there's the district's new $28.3 million administration building, which opened in November. While it replaced aging and energy-inefficient structures, it has become a handy target for some members of the public who question the school district's priorities.
If approved, the district says, the bond and levy measures would continue tax levels at the current rate.
For Kim Guymon, who ran unsuccessfully for a school board seat last fall, that's the problem. "They act like we should accept this level of taxation," she said. "It's OK because we're already paying it."
She also questions whether the projected growth in the district will occur fast enough to justify a new $89 million high school.
Two high schools now have more than the 1,500 students the school district says is optimal — Cascade with 1,784 students and Jackson with 2,005.
"You can only go so far with portables," LeSesne said. Projections in student enrollment show a need for a new high school to be built by 2018. It would accommodate 750 students in the first phase and eventually build out to accommodate up to 1,500 students she said.
Everett High School is somewhat under capacity, with an enrollment of 1,343 students. Guymon wondered if an International Baccalaureate program with a rigorous, college-prep curriculum, could be launched there to attract more students and delay the need for a new high school.
While that high school is under capacity, "would families want school boundaries to be moved?" asked Mary Waggoner, the school district's spokeswoman. Busing students to Everett High School would add to the district's operating costs, she said. "That takes away money that otherwise could be used in the classroom."
Despite her questions on the bond and levy issues, Guymon said she doesn't want to be labeled as leading the "no" campaign. "I just want you to be able to justify why you voted," she said. "An informed vote, please."
LeSesne said that both the levy and the bond money will be used to continue the district's focus on student learning. "The community has been very supportive of the school district in the past," she said. "They've seen what we've done over years and years."
"It's vital to continue to focus on keeping our buildings top-notch, ensuring our educational programs are second to none and our kids will be prepared for anything that comes their way," LeSesne said.
Only a handful of people have publicly announced opposition to the bond issue. But the new administration building is one of the main reasons one mom says she's going to break her string of 20 years of steadfast support for the district's bond issues.
"I felt like giving the district everything they said they needed to make good education happen," said Darla Contreras, a single mom with five children who lives near Cascade High School. After supporting the last bond issue in 2006, Contreras said, she feels the district "went around me" by deciding to build the new administration building.
Contreras said she believes that if the proposal for the new building had been put up for a public vote, it wouldn't have been approved. "All the money spent on that building," she said. "It's not right."
A series of community meetings was held in 2008 to discuss plans for the administration building's construction. Those plans were scuttled in 2009 because of the economic recession. In 2011, the school board decided to move ahead with the project, bundling it with a vote on plans to build new tracks at Cascade and Jackson high schools.
The district's administrative offices previously were scattered among three sites, including a Colby Avenue building designed in 1964 and the Longfellow building on Oakes Avenue. The former elementary school was built in 1911 and converted to an office building in 1970. School district data show energy costs per square foot for the Colby and Oakes buildings exceeded those of any of the district's schools.
The biggest sources of money for the administration building project were about $12.8 million of state matching funds saved from previous school construction projects and $11 million from rent, past property sales, interest and rebates from utilities grants.

Grossnickle Tabbed for Philanthropy Award• April 22, 2010 Share:
The Center on Philanthropy at Indiana University has honored philanthropic leader and Wabash Trustee Ted R. Grossnickle '73, CFRE, with the Spirit of Philanthropy Award. The award was presented Thursday at the annual IUPUI Spirit of Philanthropy Luncheon and Awards Ceremony.
The Spirit of Philanthropy awards recognize individuals, corporations, and foundations that have supported and contributed to university programs and departments through their gifts and voluntary service.
In 2005, Grossnickle was elected to by the National Association of Wabash Men to serve as an Alumni Trustee on the Wabash College Board of Trustees, and was re-elected to a second term in 2009. He chairs the Board's Admissions and Advancement Committee and is a member of the Executive Committee and Committee on Trusteeship.
"Ted Grossnickle models for us all a Wabash man who joins seamlessly the mission goals of leading effectively and living humanely through critical thinking and responsible action," said Wabash President Patrick E. White. " As an active member of the Wabash College Board of Trustees, as counsel to numerous colleges, universities, and nonprofit organizations, and as an active and committed volunteer, Ted, through his wisdom, passion, and drive, makes an enormous impact by helping leaders make their institutions stronger and effect positive change in the larger world."
Grossnickle served as counsel on Wabash's Campaign for Leadership, a capital campaign that raised for Wabash a record $136 million.
He has also been a key volunteer and supporter for the IUPUI Center on Philanthropy for more than a decade.
"Ted's visionary volunteer leadership plays an important role in helping to shape the Center on Philanthropy's future," said Patrick M. Rooney, executive director of the Center. "We are fortunate that he chooses to share his time, expertise and good counsel with us."
Grossnickle currently serves as chair-elect of the Center's board of visitors and leads its endowment campaign committee. A donor and member of the Center's Sage Society, Grossnickle also chaired the Center's campaign readiness task force.
"Ted is intensely devoted to helping others make a difference," Rooney said. "He encourages the Center and everyone involved in philanthropy to set ever-higher aspirations for philanthropy's impact in the world."
A highly respected advisor in the nonprofit sector, Grossnickle is senior managing consultant and co-founder of Johnson, Grossnickle and Associates, a consulting firm serving nonprofit organizations. Before starting Johnson, Grossnickle and Associates in 1994, Grossnickle was vice president of development and public affairs at Franklin College for 10 years, and was Franklin's acting president in 1993. He previously served Northern Illinois University in several senior executive roles, including director of corporate relations in the office of the president, executive director of the alumni association, and director of special giving. He also has held positions at Wabash College and Procter & Gamble.
Grossnickle's consulting expertise has advanced the missions of institutions such as Anderson University, Illinois Wesleyan University, Conner Prairie and many others. As an author, speaker and teacher, he makes innumerable contributions to philanthropy and the nonprofit sector, and he was named Fundraising Executive of the Year in 1994 by the Association of Fundraising Professionals-Indiana Chapter. He is chairman of Achieve, LLC, and serves on the boards of several nonprofit organizations, including Wabash College and Garrett Seminary. Grossnickle earned a baccalaureate degree from Wabash College and a master's degree from Northern Illinois University.
The Center on Philanthropy at Indiana University, a part of the IU School of Liberal Arts at IUPUI, is a leading academic center dedicated to increasing the understanding of philanthropy and improving its practice worldwide through research, teaching, training and public affairs programs in philanthropy, fundraising, and management of nonprofit organizations.

Joyner, Samuel Return to Phillies Coaching Staff
Wally Joyner and Juan Samuel will both be back on the Phillies coaching staff for the 2014 season, Manager Ryne Sandberg announced today. Joyner and Samuel will continue in their roles as assistant hitting coach and first base coach, respectively.
Joyner, 51, returned to major league coaching this past season after a four-year hiatus. He had previously spent two years (2007-08) as the hitting coach for the San Diego Padres and four years (2009-12) as the lead hitting instructor for MLB International.
The 2014 season will be Samuel's fourth on the Phillies coaching staff. He served as the third base coach for the first two years before moving to first base for this past season. Samuel, 52, spent the final six weeks of the 2013 season as the third base coach following Sandberg's promotion to manager. Before joining the Phillies, Samuel coached for the Detroit Tigers (1999-2005) and Baltimore Orioles (2007-10), while also spending part of the 2010 season as interim manager for Baltimore. He will also continue as the outfield/baserunning instructor.
In addition to the returning coaches, the Phillies have outrighted four players off the 40-man roster: right-hander J.C. Ramirez, left-hander Cesar Jimenez and outfielders Roger Bernadina and Casper Wells.

Virgin Media, in common with most other ISPs, says that the few people who make heavy use of their broadband link reduce capacity for everyone else, and that providing truly "unlimited" service for these few would mean higher bills for everyone. They do indeed have a point. If I want truly unlimited service then I'm sure I can get it, for a price. And the fact is that I probably don't want to pay the price. The occasions when I do want a multi-gigabyte download are sufficiently rare that I can put up with scheduling around Virgin's traffic limits.
So why am I depressed about it? Its because my problem with finding Virgin Media's traffic management policy is not unusual. A sample taken from Google found:
- TalkTalk have a 40GB monthly limit right up there on the front page, although I'm not sure if you can find out how much of your limit you have used this month. What happens when you use it all? Presumably you are cut off until next month.
- O2 claims "unlimited" usage, but if you search the site for the word "unlimited" you find that excessive use at peak times will lead to warnings and then account termination. They don't define "excessive" or "peak time". I couldn't find a link to this information from their list of broadband features; it certainly wasn't obvious.
- Tiscali have a similar policy, except that after three warnings they limit your peak time speed. They also don't define what "excessive" and "peak time" mean, and they don't say how long this will last or what the speed limit will be. This page was two not-very-prominent links away from the package features list.
- Fast actually sells a range of monthly capacity limits. They warn you by email when you hit 90%, and when you go over 100% they throttle you down to 100kBit/sec. Full marks!
I think that something needs doing about this. However the Advertising Standards Authority have wimped out: they have declared that "unlimited" actually means "95% of users don't hit the limit in any given month". So its hardly surprising that people are confused.
Therefore I have started an on-line petition at the Number 10 web site. If you are a British citizen or resident then I urge you to sign it. The petition calls on the Government to require ISPs to make all caps and limits on their services a prominent part of their advertising. Only when they do so will consumers have a clear choice between different packages.

Permanent Carmine (HF4C) has no acute toxicity.
Permanent Carmine (HF4C) has been developed as a replacement for Carmine, a transparent red derived from the cochineal insect. It is one of a large group of azo pigments that were discovered and developed by Hoechst in the 1950s and 1960s. In comparison with natural carmine derived from cochineal, it is far less expensive, and offers superior lightfastness.
titanium dioxide
Titanium White is the most brilliant of the white pigments. It is considered an all purpose oil color useful in all techniques and the best all around white. Its masstone is neither warm nor cool, placing it somewhere between Lead White and Zinc White. It is less prone to cracking and yellowing than Lead White, but it still yellows easily. Titanium White dries slowly in oil form, more slowly than Lead White but more quickly than Zinc White. It is opaque in oil and acrylic forms and semi-opaque in watercolor form. This pigment has good chemical stability, and its tinting strength is superior to both Lead White and Zinc White.
Titanium White has excellent permanence and lightfastness.
Titanium dioxide is highly stable and is regarded as completely non-toxic. Animal studies give no indiciation that it is absorbed biologically, even after long periods of exposure. The primary safety concern is with inhalation of fine pigment dust particles. Titanium White, if inhaled in large amounts over the course of several years, may cause a benign pneumoconiosis that is visible on x-rays. The National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) considers fine titanium dioxide particles, if inhaled, to be a human carcinogen. The primary concern for artists is to avoid exposure to fine particulate dust from raw pigments.
Titanium is the ninth most abundant element in the Earth's crust, however mineral deposits that are economical to mine are less common. Titanium dioxide was first discovered in 1821, although it could not be mass produced until 1919. Widespread use of the pigment began in the 1940s. Since that time, it has become the most commonly used white pigment. The name comes from the Latin word Titan, the name for the elder brother of Kronos and ancestor of the Titans, and from the Greek word tito, meaning day or sun.
complex silicate of sodium and aluminum with sulfur
Na8-10Al6Si6O24S2-4 or Na6-8Al6Si6O24S2-4
Ultramarine is the standard warm blue, a brilliant blue pigment that has the most purple and least green in its undertone. It has a moderate to high tinting strength and a beautiful transparency. Synthetic Ultramarine is not as vivid a blue as natural Ultramarine. Ultramarine dries slowly in oil and tends to produce clean, though granular, washes in watercolor. French Ultramarine mixes well with Alizarin colors in oil and watercolor form to create a range of purples and violets. It can dull when mixed with white in acrylic form, but mixes well with other colors. The shade varies based on manufacturer. Considered a great color for glazes, it is not suitable for frescoing.
Ultramarine has excellent permanence, although synthetic Ultramarine is not as permanent as natural Ultramarine. It may discolor if exposed to acid because of its sulfuric content.
Ultramarine has no significant hazards.
The name for this pigment comes from the Middle Latin ultra, meaning beyond, and mare, meaning sea, because it was imported from Asia to Europe by sea. It is a prominent component of lapis lazuli and was used on Asian temples starting in the 6th century. It was one of the most expensive pigments in 16th century Europe, worth twice its weight in gold, and so was used sparingly and when commissions were larger. Ultramarine is currently imitated by a process invented in France in 1826 by Jean Baptiste Guimet, making blue affordable to artists and extending the range of colors on their palettes.
Artificial Ultramarine, French Blue, French Ultramarine, Gmelin's Blue, Guimet's Blue, Permanent Blue, Royal Blue, Synthetic Ultramarine. New Blue describes particular shades of Ultramarine. Armenian Blue and Lazuline Blue are names for genuine Lapiz Ultramarine. Sky Blue is a pale tone of Ultramarine.

The Huskers completed non-conference play with a 3-1 record after a 59-20 victory over South Dakota State on Sept. 21. Following a bye week, Nebraska is set to start its third Big Ten Conference season and look for a return trip to the Big Ten Championship Game in Indianapolis. Nebraska will begin conference play ranked 25th in the USA Today Coaches Poll, while receiving votes in the AP poll.
Illinois also owns a 3-1 record following non-conference play. The Fighting Illini are coming off a 50-14 victory over Miami (Ohio) last Saturday in Champaign. Like Nebraska, Illinois boasts an explosive offense that is averaging 478.5 yards per game and 40.2 points per contest.
Nebraska has been successful in conference openers, winning 35 of 38 league openers. The Huskers have also fared well on Homecoming, including a 4-1 mark under Head Coach Bo Pelini.
The Series
Nebraska and Illinois will meet for the first time as Big Ten Conference opponents and for the 11th time in school history. The Huskers hold a 7-2-1 edge in the series between the two schools, including a 5-1 edge in games played in Lincoln. The last meeting between the teams occurred in 1986, when Nebraska won 59-14 in Champaign. Nebraska and Illinois will play each year in the future with the schools both set to compete in the Big Ten's West Division. Illinois is scheduled to visit Lincoln in consecutive years before Nebraska travels to Champaign in 2015.
The Coaches
Nebraska: Bo Pelini (Ohio State, '90) owns a 52-21 record (.712) in his sixth season. Pelini has guided NU to nine or more wins in each of his first five seasons as head coach, joining Bob Devaney and Tom Osborne in accomplishing that feat at Nebraska. With Nebraska's win over Wyoming in the season opener, Pelini became the fifth coach in NU history to win 50 games on the NU sideline, joining Dana Bible, Bob Devaney, Tom Osborne and Frank Solich.
Illinois: Tim Beckman (Findlay, '88) is in his second season as the head coach at Illinois and his fifth season as a collegiate head coach.

Scouting the South Dakota State Jackrabbits
Illinois enters Saturday's Big Ten Conference opener looking to snap a 14-game conference losing streak dating back to 2011. While the Fighting Illini have struggled in Big Ten play the past two seasons, they have opened the 2013 season with a 3-1 record, showing marked improvement in Tim Beckman's second season following a 2-10 campaign in 2012.
The Illini opened the season with an eight-point win over FCS foe Southern Illinois, before an impressive 45-17 rout of Cincinnati. Illinois suffered its lone loss of the season in a 10-point defeat at the hands of No. 19 Washington on Sept. 14. Illinois was off the following weekend before bouncing back with a 50-14 victory over Miami (Ohio) last Saturday.
Illinois' strength is its offense, led by quarterback Nathan Scheelhaase. The Illini are averaging 40.2 points per game and 478.5 yards of total offense. Scheelhaase is completing 67 percent of his passes while averaging nearly 300 passing yards per contest. He has thrown 12 touchdowns and been intercepted just three times. On the ground, Illinois is averaging 171.0 rushing yards per game, led by Donovonn Young's 208 yards this season.
While the passing game is the strength of the Fighting Illini offense, Illinois' pass defense has struggled, although it allowed only 95 passing yards last week while limiting Miami (Ohio) to only 250 total yards, nearly half of the Illini's season average entering the game. Illinois ranks 97th nationally by allowing 271.5 passing yards per game. Opposing quarterbacks are completing better than 63 percent of their passes and have been picked off only once in 133 attempts. Opponents are also averaging 4.3 yards per rush against Illinois, as the Fighting Illini rank 92nd nationally in total defense, allowing 432.0 yards per game. Despite those numbers, the Illini have done well limiting points, thanks in part to keeping the opponent out of the end zone in seven of the opponent's 16 trips inside the red zone.
Series History
Nebraska and Illinois are meeting for the first time as members of the Big Ten Conference, as the teams did not play in 2011 or 2012. The Huskers lead the all-time series with the Fighting Illini, 7-2-1. The teams have met only twice in the last 60 years, with Nebraska earning a 59-14 win in Champaign in 1986, and the Huskers claiming a 52-25 victory in the most recent meeting in Lincoln in 1985.
The teams will meet at Memorial Stadium for only the third time. In the first meeting, Illinois earned a 9-6 victory in 1924. NU avenged that loss with a 14-0 victory over Red Grange and the Illini the next season in Champaign, marking the only time in Grange's career that he was held scoreless in a home game.
Nebraska Head Coach Bo Pelini
Bo Pelini is in his sixth season as Nebraska's head coach and owns a 52-21 record with the Huskers. Pelini added a Big Ten Legends Division title in 2012 to three straight Big 12 North Division crowns from 2008 to 2010, when Pelini was the the first coach in the history of the Big 12 to win at least a share of a division title in each of his first three years.
He has guided Nebraska to at least nine wins each of his first five seasons in Lincoln, and three 10-win seasons. With the win over Wyoming in the opener, Pelini reached 50 career wins at Nebraska, making him just the fifth Husker coach to reach that milestone, joining Tom Osborne, Bob Devaney, Frank Solich and Dana X. Bible.
Pelini took charge of the Huskers after a highly successful five-year run as a collegiate defensive coordinator, including orchestrating NU's defensive efforts in 2003. Pelini picked up his first college head coaching victory as NU's interim coach in the 2003 Alamo Bowl against Michigan State.
Following his one season at Nebraska, Pelini served as the co-defensive coordinator at Oklahoma in 2004, helping the Sooners to the Big 12 title and BCS title game. He then followed with three seasons as the defensive coordinator at LSU. With the Tigers, Pelini led three consecutive defenses to No. 3 national rankings in total defense. He culminated his time in Baton Rouge by helping the Tigers to the 2007 national championship.
In addition to his five seasons as an assistant at the collegiate level, Pelini coached in the NFL for nine seasons, serving three years each with the San Francisco 49ers, New England Patriots and Green Bay Packers. Pelini was a team captain and four-year letterman as a safety at Ohio State from 1987 to 1990.
Illinois Head Coach Tim Beckam
Tim Beckman is in his second season at Illinois, where he owns a 5-11 record. The Fighting Illini are 3-1 this fall and have already eclipsed last year's win total from a 2-10 campaign. Illinois went 0-8 in Big Ten Conference play in Beckman's first season, and the Fighting Illini have lost 14 consecutive conference games dating back to 2011.
Prior to coming to Illinois, Beckman spent three seasons as the head coach at Toledo from 2009 to 2011. Beckman posted a 21-16 record at Toledo, including eight wins in each of his final two seasons. Before becoming a head coach, Beckman served as Oklahoma State's defensive coordinator in 2007 and 2008, after coaching cornerbacks at Ohio State in 2005 and 2006. Previously, Beckman spent time on the defensive staffs at Bowling Green (1998 to 2004), Elon (1996 to 1997) and Western Carolina (1990 to 1995). He earned his first collegiate coaching stint as a graduate assistant at Auburn in 1988 and 1989.
Nebraska Hopes to Improve on Success in Conference Openers
The matchup with Illinois on Saturday marks Nebraska's first Big Ten Conference game of 2013. The Huskers are 1-1 in Big Ten openers, losing at Wisconsin in 2011 and defeating the Badgers in Lincoln in 2012. Overall, Nebraska is 87-20-2 all-time in conference openers (.807 winning percentage). The Huskers have won their first conference game in 35 of the last 38 seasons dating back to 1975. Bo Pelini owns a 3-2 record in conference openers, with both losses to top-10 teams away from Lincoln.
Nebraska has been even better in its first conference game in Lincoln, winning 85 percent of its conference home openers (86-13-4). The Huskers' first two Big Ten home openers have been especially memorable. In 2011, Nebraska posted the largest comeback in school history,
rallying from a 27-6 deficit to defeat Ohio State 34-27. Last fall, NU again came from behind, this time rallying from a 17-point third-quarter deficit to top Wisconsin, 30-27, tying for the second-largest comeback in school history.
Huskers Look for Happy Homecoming
Saturday will mark Nebraska's 103rd Homecoming game. The Huskers boast an all-time record of 76-22-4 (.765 winning percentage) in Homecoming games, including a 69-16-3 mark against conference opponents (.801). Since 1955, Nebraska has faced a conference opponent on Homecoming every season except 2009 and 2010. The Huskers defeated Wisconsin, 30-27, on Homecoming last season.
Nebraska won 36 straight Homecoming games from 1969 to 2004. Since then, the Huskers are just 5-3 on Homecoming, but NU is 4-1 under Bo Pelini on Homecoming, including four straight victories. In its first two seasons in the Big Ten, Nebraska has knocked off Ohio State and Wisconsin on Homecoming. The 1962 Homecoming matchup between NU and Missouri marked the start of the Huskers' ongoing NCAA-record consecutive home sellout streak, which will reach 330 on Saturday. During the sellout streak, Nebraska has won 46 of its 51 Homecoming games.
Nebraska-Illinois to Become an Annual Matchup
Nebraska and Illinois are meeting for the first time since 1986, but Saturday's game marks the first of what will become an annual matchup between the schools. This year, the Huskers and Illinois are competing in the Legends and Leaders divisions, respectively, but starting in 2014 both schools will play in the Big Ten West Division and will meet each fall.
The two will also become accustomed to opening Big Ten play against each other. Including Saturday's matchup, Nebraska and Illinois will open their conference schedule against each year from 2013 to 2016, while the 2017 meeting will also be Illinois' first Big Ten game, and the Huskers' second conference game that season.
Nebraska Tops Big Ten in Wins in First Two Seasons in Conference
Nebraska begins its third season of Big Ten Conference action this Saturday against Illinois. In its first two years in the conference, Nebraska has performed well, posting a 12-4 record in Big Ten Conference regular-season games.
Nebraska captured the Legends Division crown and made a trip to the Big Ten Conference Championship Game in 2012. Overall, Nebraska's 12 conference victories in the past two seasons are tied for the most of any Big Ten school. The Huskers' 8-2 record in division play also leads the conference.
Nebraska has won six straight regular-season conference games entering Saturday's game with Illinois.
Huskers Hit 300-300 Mark Against South Dakota State
The Nebraska offense marked a first in school history in its 59-20 win over South Dakota State on Sept. 21. Nebraska rolled to 335 rushing yards, while adding 310 yards passing, marking the first time in school history, the Huskers have eclipsed 300 yards in both rushing and passing.
- The 645 yards of total offense marked the most for Nebraska in Bo Pelini's six seasons as head coach and ranked as the 21st most total yards in NU history.
- Nebraska gained better than 300 yards on the ground for the second time this season, and for the 14th time in Pelini's tenure as head coach.
- In addition to the total offensive explosion, Nebraska also posted 59 points in the win. The game marked the second time in 2013 NU has topped 50 points and the eighth time in Pelini's six seasons as head coach. The 59 points were the second-most of the Pelini era, trailing a 73-point outburst against Idaho State in 2012.
- The Huskers' 34 first downs against South Dakota State were the most in the past six seasons under Pelini, and NU's most since posting 35 first downs against Kansas State in 2007.

The chocolate filling is basically a thick ganache that has been allowed to set in the fridge. It is so creamy and rich that even I couldn't manage a huge slice...trust me, I tried!
The biscuit base is similar to the traditional cheesecake biscuit base but with a twist – the addition of golden syrup; this adds a sweet note and works well with the unsweetened ganache.
200g biscuits – hobnobs, digestives or shortbreads will all work
100g unsalted butter
1 tablespoon golden syrup or honey
200ml whipping cream, plus a further 200ml for whipping and piping on top
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
100g dark chocolate
100g milk chocolate

A lawyer for the Italian team competing in this summer's America's Cup sailing regatta in San Francisco said on Monday that he is prepared to go to court over last-minute rule changes that came in the wake of a fatal training accident in May.
The four teams competing for the Cup have been meeting with mediators to reach agreement on 37 safety measures that Regatta Director Iain Murray and race organizers formulated after the wreck of an Artemis Racing catamaran killed Olympic gold medalist Andrew Simpson.
While there is broad agreement on most of the new rules, a fierce dispute has arisen over a change in the specification for a piece of boat equipment known as a rudder elevator, which helps control the super-fast, high-tech catamarans when they go airborne on hydrofoils.
"We're prepared to do anything it takes to respect the rules," Luis Saenz, general counsel for the Luna Rossa Challenge, told Reuters.
Legal action would take place in New York Supreme Court, which has jurisdiction over the world's oldest sporting trophy, and could threaten the July 7 start of racing.
Luna Rossa argues that the rudder elevators relate to performance and not boat safety. A report in a New Zealand newspaper indicated that Emirates Team New Zealand was also opposed to the rudder elevator change. Murray was not available for comment, and the other teams declined to comment on the rules.
"The class rule doesn't contemplate rudder elevators at all," Saenz said. "We think they have nothing to do with safety. They are a performance instrument, and we do not believe the regatta director should get into regulating rudder elevators.
"The regatta director has all the right in the world to issue recommendations. He cannot change the class rule."
Those rules set out parameters for the design of the boats, and all teams must agree to any changes.
Race participants have agreed to settle their disputes via a five-person international jury. But "if the jury became crazy" and exceeded its jurisdiction by allowing the rules to be changed without unanimous consent, Saenz said he believes the Italians would have the right to go to court.
The San Francisco coroner and the police department are continuing to investigate the May incident, with help from the U.S. Coast Guard.
The Coast Guard must issue a permit for the event, and the new safety rules are expected to be a part of the formal permit application. Chief Petty Officer Mike Lutz said he anticipated issuing the permit without a problem.
"We won't go into how they build their vessels," he said. "That's up to the America's Cup."

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. – The time for preparation is over.
The Lipscomb Lady Bisons went through a workout Thursday on a cloudy day at Sherri Parker Lee Stadium. But Lipscomb coach Kristin Ryman is more concerned with the mental approach of her team than what she saw physically.
"At this point in the game it is more a matter of getting your head in a good spot and being confident in what you can do," Ryman said. "We want our players to focus on our strengths.
"We want them to focus on what they can control like their approach at the plate, what pitches they are swinging at and making quality swings. And we want to make sure that the pitches we are throwing are good pitches."
The Lady Bisons, 39-13, will face Virginia Tech, 35-21, Friday afternoon at 2:30 in the Knoxville Regional. Tennessee, the No. 10-seed nationally, and the host team with a 42-10 record, will play Charleston Southern, 27-31-1.
The infield is one of the firmest the Lady Bisons have played on this season. They spent an hour in the batting cages Thursday before working out in the field for another hour.
"It gave us an opportunity to not only get a feel for the field and how it plays, but to get out there and shake out some jitters, practice and get after it," Ryman said. "I think the girls had a good time. We tried to mix a little fun in there.
"At this point if you try to do something different it takes you out of your game. We don't need to do anything different. We just need to execute our game plan."
The firmness of the infield required some adjustments.
"It is a harder surface and they typically keep it that way," Ryman said. "Overall, the field plays quick.
"We are going to have to be prepared to move our feet defensively, We are not going to have the luxury of being one or two steps behind and still making a play. Balls are going to be shooting through the infield pretty quick."
Ryman was also pleased with the work of her players during hitting exercises.
"We had a chance to continue to work through some things," Ryman said. "It is a matter of making good choices at the plate. Things are going to take care of themselves if we do that.
"If we go up there trying to get the big hit every single time that is when things can get out of control. Our goal is to move runners from station-to-station and find ways to manufacture runs. We have to get the clutch hits."
Series history: This will be the second meeting between the Lady Bisons and Virginia Tech this season.
On Feb. 9 the Lady Bisons beat Virginia Tech 2-1 at Draper Diamond at Smith Stadium on the Lipscomb campus in the Music City Classic. Senior first baseman Kristen Sturdivant sealed the win with a solo walk-off home run.
The only other hit in the game for the Lady Bisons was a double to left field by Brianne Welch. She advanced to third on a bunt and scored on a wild pitch in the third inning.
Lipscomb sophomore right-hander Tanner Sanders went the distance in the circle. She allowed only two hits, both to Virginia Tech's Vanessa Gonzalez. In the second inning Gonzalez's first hit was a solo homer.
The Lady Bisons are 3-0 in the series with Virginia Tech from the Atlantic Coast Conference. This is Lipscomb's second NCAA Regional. This is the third straight regional for Virginia Tech, the seventh overall.
Ryman and assistant coaches Megan Rhodes Smith and J.J. Dillingham have pored over scouting reports and studied video of Virginia Tech. But they have been careful not to overload the players with information.
"Right now, I don't want them getting wrapped up in things like the batting averages of Virginia Tech players," Ryman said. "They just need to know the basics."
Bank on it: Virginia Tech's Kat Banks has strong ties to Lipscomb. Her sister, Alex, plays for the Lady Bisons basketball team. Her brother, A.T., is a student at Lipscomb.
Kat's father, Alan, was an NAIA All-American basketball player at Lipscomb. He was inducted in the Lipscomb Athletics Hall of Fame in 1996.
Where they rank: Lipscomb left-hander Ashley Anderson's 19 wins this season was the second highest total in the Atlantic Sun Conference.
Anderson, Tanner Sanders and Heather Parker have combined for 85 complete games in their careers, ranking them in the top-10 among active A-Sun pitchers according to conference records.
Three Lady Bisons – Sturdivant, Kelsey Cartwright and Haley Elliott - are ranked in the top 30 in the A-Sun record books for career home runs. Sturdivant has 32 followed by Cartwright with 29 and Elliott with 27.
Regional stats: This is the first time an A-Sun team has played in the Knoxville Regional. The A-Sun has usually played in the Gainesville, Florida and Tuscaloosa, Alabama regional. This season USC Upstate is playing in Tuscaloosa. Stetson is playing In Gainesville.
This is also the first time a Lipscomb athletics team has received an NCAA at-large bid.
The Lady Bisons are 2-2 in NCAA Regional play with two wins over UAB and two losses to Alabama. The .500 record in regional games is tied for the best winning percentage in conference history.

XXL Global Big Wave Awards
Koa Rothman
A double winner at this year's XXL Global Big Wave Awards, Hawaii's Koa Rothman came away with Tube of the Year and Wipeout of the Year honors after getting blasted on this monster at Teahupoo, Tahiti. Other winners included Greg Long, Mark Healey, Keala Kennelly and Gautier Garanx. Needless to say, some incredible waves have been ridden over the course of the past 365 days.
Gautier Garanx
Topping the field, Gautier Garanx, from Bayonne, France, rode the biggest wave of the year according to the XXL panel of judges. Caught at Belharra Reef in southwest France on Dec. 22, 2013, he beat out a stacked field of challengers. "To be here is a dream. All my idols are here, the superstars, and tonight I'm with them. That wave was easily the biggest of my life," said Garanx from the podium.
Keala Kennelly
When it comes to women and big waves, Keala Kennelly has been pushing boundaries for years. Claiming yet another XXL Award, she was honored this year for her notable performances in any and all conditions, but most notably at Teahupoo in Tahiti. "It's like winning the Oscars, especially in front of all the other big-wave guys," said Kennelly. "Last year I won this award, cashed the check and three days later I was in Teahupoo for a big swell. It was the first time I'd been back since my face injury there. To come back and overcome my fear and get the best wave was a huge personal triumph for me."
Grant Baker
Taking time out of the night to recognize newly crowned Big Wave World Champion Grant "Twiggy" Baker, the new relationship between the XXL Awards and the ASP was already visible. "All I ever wanted to do is travel and surf and that's what this world title means to me," said Baker. "I'm feeling more competitive than ever. I'd love to have a heat with Kelly Slater in 25-foot-plus waves. He'd probably still beat me but at least I'd have a chance."
Mark Healey
Hawaii's Mark Healey was honored with the Paddle-in Wave of the Year. Wrangling this beast at Jaws on Nov. 13, 2013, he considers it the biggest wave he's ever paddled into.
Andrew Cotton
While it didn't take Biggest Wave honors, Andrew Cotton's ride off the coast of Nazare, Portugal, was no small feat.
Shawn Dollar
Shawn Dollar at Mavericks on Jan. 21 was a contender for paddle-in ride of the year. Although he was topped by Healey's effort at Jaws, the waves Dollar gets himself into every year at Mavericks put him among the top ranks of big-wave surfing.

Always the bridesmaid and never the bride, Ian Walsh has yet to win an XXL award. Nominated in the Biggest Wave category for this ride at Jaws, somehow the Maui native seems to always just miss out on taking the top prize, but it's certainly not for lack of trying.

Beloved producer and television/radio host Dick Clark has died at the age of 82, according to sources at TMZ. Clark reportedly suffered a massive heart attack this morning, April 18, due to complications from an outpatient procedure he underwent at St. John's hospital in Los Angeles last night.
Clark first began experiencing health complications in 2004 when he had a serious stroke that caused a noticeable speech impairment, causing him to turn over his hosting duties (he had been acting as the on-air personality for the event since its inaugural year in 1972 before that) of the annual 'New Year's Rockin' Eve' in Time Square to Ryan Seacrest in 2006.
The 'American Bandstand' host also had been battling Type 2 diabetes.
Clark was always known for his youthful appearance and demeanor (even during his later years), earning him the nickname 'America's Oldest Teenager.' Over the years, he entertained countless viewers and listeners with his celebrity interviews and comical banter on shows like 'Pyramid.' He was also known for his catch phrase, "For now, Dick Clark… So long." Over his long-spanning career, he won five Emmy awards, a Peabody award, and was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Clark was married three times during lifetime, having two children from his first two marriages. Clark was married to Kari Wigton at the time of his passing.
Rest in peace, Mr. Clark. You will be missed.

Things appear to be off to a good start at camp...at least from an injury standpoint which is my #1 concern after the endless injuries of last year. The passing game sounds like it is a little rusty which is usually the case at this point in the year. It is actually pretty amusing to see how much the fans and media overreact about the statistics produced by Tony Romo during practice. I don't have concerns about Romo's ability to get the ball to the open man. Three years of good/great numbers tell me that he will get the kinks worked out.
Roy Williams looks leaner and quicker early in camp. All of the receivers are out there working so that is a good sign. I think the receivers can get the job done but there is going to be trouble if anyone gets injured. The last thing the team needs is to bring in another head case. Matt Jones isn't the player the Cowboys need right now. Not only is he one dumb mistake away from suspension, but he is lazy and inconsistent. And just in case you haven't hear...it was Matt Jones' agent who called the Cowboys to try to guage their interest and they said they aren't.
Jason Witten is the best tight end in football no matter how delusional Chris Cooley has become about himself. Cooley's videos were pretty stupid but I have to admit I did chuckle at them. I don't know why he acts surprised that he is catching some flak for putting stupid stuff like that on the internet. I personally don't care what he says or does. It is interesting that no one seems concerned about his focus since he appears to have time to film silly skits like that. If he were a member of the Dallas Cowboys that video would be leading off SportsCenter.
Kyle Kosier is working with the first team at left guard. I am very interested to see how the left guard battle plays out. I'm guessing that Kosier will remain on the first team until the preseason games start. I was really impressed by Holland when he got on the field last year but I might have a skewed memory of him since he was replacing Cory Proctor, one of the worst Cowboys' lineman in recent memory. I'd like to see the Cowboys keep both Kosier and Holland.
If all three running backs go into the season at 100% then I can't name a better group in the NFL. Jason Garrett has to be loving the options he has right now after dealing with injury after injury at running back last year.
I am heading to camp tomorrow to see how things look in person. I'll be sure to post an entry on my impression of training camp when I get home.

Revision as of 03:41, 4 August 2013
This article describes how to set up and run Chrony, an alternative NTP client and server that is roaming friendly and designed specifically for systems that are not online all the time.
chrony is available from the official repositories.
The first thing you define in your
/etc/chrony.conf is the servers your machine will synchronize to.
NTP servers are classified in a hierarchical system with many levels called strata: the devices which are considered independent time sources are classified as stratum 0 sources; the servers directly connected to stratum 0 devices are classified as stratum 1 sources; servers connected to stratum 1 sources are then classified as stratum 2 sources and so on.
It has to be understood that a server's stratum cannot be taken as an indication of its accuracy or reliability. Typically, stratum 2 servers are used for general synchronization purposes: if you do not already know the servers you are going to connect to, you should use the pool.ntp.org servers (alternate link) and choose the server pool that is closest to your location.
The following lines are just an example:
server 0.pool.ntp.org server 1.pool.ntp.org server 2.pool.ntp.org server 3.pool.ntp.org
If your computer is not connected to the internet on startup, it is recommended to use the offline option, to tell chrony not to try and connect to the servers, until it has been given the go:
server 0.pool.ntp.org offline server 1.pool.ntp.org offline server 2.pool.ntp.org offline server 3.pool.ntp.org offline
It may also be a good idea to either use IP addresses instead of host names, or to map the hostnames to IP addresses in your
/etc/hosts file, as DNS resolving won't be available until you've made a connection.
To tell chronyd that a connection has been established, you need to be able to log in with chronyc. You will have to configure chronyd with an administrator password to be able to do this. Setting up an administrator password is as simple as creating the file
/etc/chrony.keys with a single line:
1 xyzzy
as well as adding the following line somewhere in
commandkey 1
The smallest useful configuration file (using IP addresses instead of a hostname) would look something like:
server 22.214.171.124 offline server 220.127.116.11 offline server 184.108.40.206 offline rtcfile /etc/chrony.rtc rtconutc keyfile /etc/chrony.keys commandkey 1 driftfile /etc/chrony.drift
Telling chronyd an internet connection has been made
For this to work, you'll need to configure the
commandkey option in
/etc/chrony.conf as shown above. If you've done this, start
chronyc and enter the following commands if you are connected to the internet:
chronyc> password xyzzy 200 OK chronyc> online 200 OK chronyc> exit
Chrony should now connect to the configured time servers and update your clock if needed.
To tell chrony that you are not connected to the internet anymore, execute the following:
chronyc> password xyzzy 200 OK chronyc> offline 200 OK chronyc> exit
In conclusion, don't forget the user guide at
/usr/share/doc/chrony/chrony.txt, which is likely to answer any doubts you could still have. It is also available online. See also the related man pages:
man {chrony|chronyc|chronyd|chrony.conf}).
Starting chronyd
The package provides
chrony.service, see systemd for details.
Synchronising chrony hardware clock from the system clock
During boot the initial time is read from the hardware clock (RTC) and the system time is then set, and synchronised over a period of minutes once the chrony daemon has been running for a while. If the hardware clock is out of sync then the initial system time can be some minutes away from the true time. If that is the case it may be necessary to reset the hardware clock.
You can use chronyc to force the current system time to be synced to hardware:
# chronyc> password xyzzy Password: 200 OK chronyc> trimrtc 200 OK chronyc> quit
Then exit from chronyc and the RTC and system time should be within a few microseconds of each other and should then be approximately correct on boot and fully synchronise a short time later.
Using NetworkManager to let chronyd go online
chronyd can be go into online/offline mode along with a network connection through the use of NetworkManager's dispatcher scripts. You can install networkmanager-dispatcher-chronyAUR from the AUR.
Alternatives to the Chrony, are NTPd, the reference implementation of NTP, and OpenNTPD, part of the OpenBSD project and currently not maintained for Linux.

Why You'll Be Securing Your Pony at the Nape of Your Neck From Now On
We're not surprised that the women consistently at the front of the fashion pack—Ashley Olsen, Diane Kruger—are already rocking the hairstyle dominating next spring's runway shows, including Derek Lam, Jil Sander, and Altuzarra. For starters, it's easy. Even the shortest hair can be pulled back at the nape of the neck, and it doesn't matter if it's messy, sleek, or somewhere in between: it's its casualness that makes it so damn cool. Need proof? You'll find plenty of it, above.
The actress-turned-designer pulled her long hair off her face to show off her impeccable makeup at Estee Lauder's launch of their new fragrance, Modern Muse, in New York.
Not surprisingly, Olsen's look mirrored the one Mark Townsend built at her Elizabeth and James presentation earlier that week. "Everything that I know about texture, and I appreciate about texture, came from Mary Kate and Ashley," he says. "They love hair that looks like you could do it yourself. They love any kind of accessible beauty—all of the looks that they do in their shows come from their own style."
Mila Kunis went for a sleek, tucked behind-her-ears version at the Toronto Film Festival earlier this month.
Diane Kruger pulled hers to the side, wrapping hair around the elastic for added polish, at a luncheon in Los Angeles.
Hairstylist Orlando Pita said the hair was all about "structured ease" at Derek Lam, where laid-back, wavy ponytails struck the perfect balance with makeup artist Tom Pecheux's graphic navy liner. Pita used Phyto's Fiber Paste ($24) to tame flyaways around the crown.

Kate Bosworth showed off a polished low ponytail with a deep side part at the Catalina Film Festival.
At Reed Krakoff's show, hairstylist Guido Palau used Redken's Diamond Oil Shatterproof Shine ($40) for an almost lacquered finish.
A Bardot-like ponytail on Dianna Agron at the New York premiere of The Family meant plenty of face-framing pieces and volume at her crown.
Hairstylist Odile Gilbert was inspired by Joseph Altuzarra's muse, Vanessa Traina, at the designer's spring show. To score texture—and encourage flyaways!—Gilbert prepped the hair with Kerastase's Mousse Bouffant ($36) and Fibre Architect ($42) before creating an imperfect center part.

A film by
Nandini Sikand
US, 2001, 8 minutes, Color/BW, DVD
Order No. W03774
In this highly personal and visually evocative testimonial, critically acclaimed South Asian filmmaker Nandini Sikand poignantly presents her sister's triumphal recovery from the emotional and physical scars of breast cancer. Lyrically incorporating poetry, experimental video and Super-8 montage, this moving piece looks at the myth of Amazonian women - warriors who were said to have cut off their right breast to become better archers - and compares their legendary battles to the war being waged against breast cancer. As Sikand's sister reads passages describing her fight with the disease, the geography of her body is explored and compared to the scarred landscape of the urban environment. Traversing the pulsating and dizzying streets, the city and body become one to highlight women's lives as triumphant urban warriors. Moving and inspiring, this short experimental film is a tribute to all women who have struggled with breast cancer.

"… a visually stunning video, shuttling between chillingly sharp digital photography and warm, poignant, almost pointalist images... Evocative of both individual memory and the history of gendered bodies, it claims, in its short length, both the Lyric and the Manifesto, as it engages questions of breast cancer."
Joseph Boles
Northern Arizona University
"…provides a new way to imagine the lives of those in pain with ongoing serious illnesses. It offers a textured imagery of crowds and cities and struggle, of fighting and nobility it's not about being a victim. Illness brings pain and loss, but it is also full of life."

BY: Justin S Kwaje, SouthSudanLibertyNewsJUBA, NOV/30/2014, SSN;
A senior army general within the government armed forces under President Kiir, revealed to South Sudan Liberty News correspondent, in an exclusive meeting in one of the hotels in Juba, that during a recent closed-door sessions with senior army officers mainly from the President's home state of Warrap and Bahr el Ghazal regions, during which the generals were instructed by the President to be vigilant and were directed by the President to immediately and carefully plan an assassination against the national security minister Obuto Mamur, as he is a heavyweight, in particular if the Equatoria region descends into rebellions as now they feared to be imminent.
The playbook has been seen with the Nuer rebellion!
Our informant revealed that the President is worried about the rumors of the uncovered secret military camps in Kapoeta, and now that of yet a new rebellion within Greater Equatoria.
The informant disclosed to South Sudan liberty news that Kiir's worries stem from the fact that the now suspected general, another heavyweight Equatorian general, Mr. Martin Kenyi, is a close friend to Obuto Mamur, therefore the President suspects Kenyi would have not acted alone.
The President reportedly alleged that Obuto Mamur is the mentor of Martin Kenyi, and if indeed Kenyi has defected as alleged by the government, then Mamur is implicated.
As readers can recall, this is the second time this year, the Warrap thugs are plotting against Mamur and
Given this government has proven beyond doubt it is blood-thirsty even to the point of killing women and children, we choose not to ignore any such information leaked to us by government insiders and informants!
Our source reports that during the alleged closed door security meeting, the generals have tried to forged evidences to implicate Martin Kenyi, but the data did not add up to link him to any rebel groups, even then, they the generals are determined to patched together evidences toward elimination of Kenyi.
During the closed door meeting the President and his Warrap generals resolved as business order number one, given the growing threat of rebellions within the greater Equatoria, Mamur should immediately recruit more Dinka army faithful to bodyguard him, since at the moment, he is heavily guarded by Elite Equatorian army unit who are his longtime faithful.
The plan to change in the ranks of body guards to Dinka faithful is to make Mamur vulnerable to assassinations!
The Warrap Generals are worried, that should war engulf Juba, Mamur who has surrounded himself with heavily armed Equatorians, who are also well trained with sophisticated armors, if they are not neutralized now, in the eventuality of any rebellions, they will turn their guns against Kiir.
Our informant further revealed that the same Generals under the directives of Kiir, held a secret meeting with General Johnson Juma Okot, AKA JJ Okot, another Equatorian heavyweight but Kiir's faithful and a staunch supporter.
They sought him with the objective to use Gen. JJ Okot to supply light and heavy machine guns to Acholi Panyakwara, Magwi and Agoro who are loyalists to JJ Okot, to exploit the uneasy relations between the Acholi Panyikwara and the Madi.
The primary objective is that the Acholi militia should be used to defuse any upraising in Greater Equatoria. The Acholi militia is to be paid, armed and encouraged to fight the Equatorians. They see the Acholi Panyikwara as their only loyalists in the Greater Equatoria.
In this goal, while the Acholi Panyikwara fight the rest of the Equatorians, the government forces will concentrates in fighting the rebellions under the former vice President Riek Machar; this is a divide-and-conquer at its best.
What these Warrap generals do not realize, however, is that it is only a handful of closely associated Panyikwara, close relatives of JJ Okot, who are favoring the Dinka because of the benefits Okot managed to amass under Kiir's government from which he, JJ Okot, is the greatest beneficiary among the Panyikwara people but also perhaps the whole of Equatoria, while the rest of the Acholi have nothing to do with him and his handful Acholi group of Dinka faithful!
Furthermore, according to the general who asked for his identity to be concealed due to fear of his personal security and that of his family, President Kiir, in addition is very worried about the sitting governor of Central Equatoria State, Hon Clement Wani Konga.
During the meeting they agreed that the SPLA should increase security surveillance around the residence of Governor Konga, to monitor his activities and movements, they also agreed to beef up security around the Governor's house to ensure, in case of war engulfing Juba, that the Governor should be the first target to be eliminated so as to stop the rebellion from expanding to Mundari land, and also to create psychological warfare on other high ranking members of Equatorians in the armed forces from defecting.
Our informant also disclosed that there was a proposal to reshuffle the position of the vice President James Wani Igga with the Governor of Western Equatoria State, Joseph Bakasero, in doing so, Western Equatoria will be kept in the government's camp, justifying it that James Wani is ineffective and not doing enough to recruit the Equatorians, simply because he has no influence among his people, the Equatorians.
As such, thereby, the generals believe Governor Bakasero is the only influential person who will be used to convince the Equatorians including Martin Kenyi to rejoin the government.
According to our informant the debate about switching the position of Vice president ended in the air, as they could not reach an agreement, since there are Warrap generals who insisted Wani Igga's loyalty must be rewarded not tempered with, but his lack of followers and influence among Equatoria worries them, since in the case of an Equatorian rebellions, he is of no help to them.
Other agendas discussed included the position of the minister of foreign affairs, Dr. Barnaba Benjamin. Some of the generals see him as inactive and ineffective, and others suggested that he should be moved to the ministry of health while the current head of the ministry of health Dr Riak Gai to head the ministry of foreign affairs.
Dr Riak Gai is seen by the generals as someone with vision and influence, and if properly used by the government, he, Dr.Gai, will exert his influence in reaching out to many Neur.
The generals see Dr Benjamin Barnaba as someone with no influence since the Nuer do not recognize him as one of their own, given his mother is from Dinka.
Finally, our informant revealed the generals urged the president to work hard in order to forge a peace deal with "the Nuer rebellion," as they call it, given the now rumored "Equatorian rebellions" as they coined it, before they could link combined forces with the growing threats within the Greater Equatoria.
They are keenly aware this could mean the end to their regime.
In the views of the generals, if a deal is quickly reached with "the Nuer rebellion", then the Nuer army will be used to fight against the Equatorians whom they accused of waging a war of separation from the rest of South Sudan.
The generals further believe that if indeed the rumor of Kenyi's rebellion is confirmed, they urged the president to launch an immediate media campaign and project any rebellion in Equatoria as for Kokora and for breakaway from the rest of South Sudan in order to win the support of the Nuer, whom, as per their views, they the Nuer have always fought for a united South Sudan and are now fighting for a Federal South Sudan.
My fellow countrymen, there you have it! As it is said, there is no smoke without fire! Again when it comes to this regime, we rather let you be the judge than we second-guessing our informants! We report, you decide.
You must be vigilant and alert, should the above leaked information be true, then it clearly reveals how the Warrap generals have no national interest other than tribal agendas.
Should we forget Kiir's infamous own words: "This power I have belongs to you, they want to take it away from me, will you let them?"
'You' meant the Dinka, and of course, the answer from the Warrap generals by the above and as witnessed on December 15th 2013, was an emphatic NO, at all cost…
They, the Warrap generals intend to keep Kiir in power for life, and will not hesitate to unleashed lethal means to eliminate whomever they see as a threat to their tribal dominance and survival in the republic of South Sudan. This includes the killings of women and children to inflict terror and strike fear in the hearts of all who live in this our great nation that deserves to exist free of tribal tyranny.

Since working on his master's thesis at Augustana College in Sioux Falls, S.D., Dr. Stephen M. Downs, Wehr Professor of Biological Sciences, has been interested in the process of normal egg maturation in mammals. He specifically studies the metabolic pathways that help regulate development of oocytes, unfertilized egg cells.
For his dedication to research and scholarship, Marquette awarded Downs the Lawrence G. Haggerty Award for Research Excellence. The annual award recognizes a faculty member who has demonstrated scholarly distinction and an all-encompassing belief in excellence.
"I am humbled and touched by this award, which honors the intrinsic interest I have in my area of research," said Downs. "I have an extremely supportive department, and I am grateful to everyone for being so easy to work with."
Downs strives to understand how the signal transduction function — the communication system — of oocytes drives production of normal eggs to complete maturation. Though Downs said he focuses mainly on the most basic, scientific level of understanding egg maturation, he is inspired by the applications of his research, which range from optimizing fertility treatments to understanding how to treat and prevent diabetes. The results of his studies are instrumental in understanding what causes fertility problems because successful reproduction depends on proper egg maturation. His research also hs been applied to maximizing fertility efficiency in domestic livestock by perfecting in vitro procedures.
A major goal of Downs' research is to identify the specific molecules and metabolic pathways that regulate egg maturation, which is of prime importance in preventing errors in chromosome segregation and in promoting the production of high-quality oocytes that are capable of normal fertilization and embryo development. Understanding how these metabolic pathways regulate normal maturation is important because abnormalities in the process can lead to abnormal development of eggs, manifested in chromosomal irregularities such as Down syndrome.
Most recently, Downs' work has focused on the effects of a stress-response protein on regulating oocyte maturation in mice. Results of these studies could show a connection between physical, chemical, and metabolic stress and abnormalities in development.
Other scientists throughout the country have used Downs' research to gain a better understanding of the damaging effects of diabetes on reproductive cell development because some of the same metabolic pathways are used in both processes.
For Downs, research is more than just a big part of his job. It's his chance to be an explorer. "There's nothing like coming into the lab and finding out that the data you've collected matches what you hypothesized would happen," he said. "It's that excitement of discovery that keeps me coming back for more."
Downs plans to keep exploring how signal transduction function affects other areas of human development. He also is studying the role of certain enzymes in embryonic development to see if similar signaling systems operate after fertilization of oocytes.

Celebrity Stylist Ben Skervin created the hair look for Rachel Weisz at the 2013 Golden Globes. He channeled the 1930s with sexy, sleek waves that complement her Louis Vuitton dress.
Here's how Ben suggests getting the look:
1.Starting with damp hair, apply Vidal Sassoon Pro Series Heat Protect & Shine Spray and blow-dry hair straight.
2.Once hair is dry, tuck hair behind left ear. On that same side, take small sections and curl hair down a 1-inch barrel curling iron. After 20 seconds, remove the iron and pin the section in a roll while it cools. Repeat this process until the whole head is curled.
3.Then, on the untucked side, repeat the same process but with a ½-inch curling iron to give a stronger wave around the face. Once all the hair cools, remove the pinned sections and brush hair into a soft, sexy wave.
4.To keep hair tucked behind the ear, apply a small amount of Vidal Sassoon Pro Series Mega Firm Hold Gel.
5.Lastly, lightly mist with Vidal Sassoon Pro Series Extra Firm Hold Hairspray to hold the style in place, leaving it with a sleek, finished look.

OKLAHOMA CITY — The Thunder say defensive standout Serge Ibaka may not be lost for the playoffs, after all.
General manager Sam Presti said Friday that Ibaka's injured left calf is showing "a level of movement and stability not thought possible."
As a result, Ibaka is now considered day to day for the Thunder, who have missed him badly as San Antonio has raced to a 2-0 lead in the Western Conference finals. Game 3 is Sunday in Oklahoma City.
