It's Brownback vs. Graves in Republican Party fight
July 13, 2012
Kansas' current governor and a former governor are lining up on opposite sides of the Republican Party fence.
Gov. Sam Brownback on Thursday announced he is endorsing some so-called conservative Republican legislative candidates who face so-called moderate Republicans in the Aug. 7 primary.
Meanwhile, former Gov. Bill Graves is returning to Kansas to support moderate Republicans.
The fight is primarily over control of the Kansas Senate, which is now led by moderate Republicans, who hold a narrow edge.
But Brownback and the Kansas Chamber of Commerce have targeted a number of those moderates for defeat.
"Because of the alliance in the state Senate between Democrats and some Republicans that join together to promote a Democrat agenda, the primary election has effectively become the general. Therefore, I am going to be involved in a limited number of primaries," Brownback said in a statement.
The statement was released by his spokesperson Sherriene Jones-Sontag. She said she did not have a list of the candidates whom Brownback has endorsed.
Brownback has been in England this week attending the Farnborough International Airshow.
Brownback wants to put the Senate under conservative leadership, like the House.
During the past legislative session, a coalition of moderate Republicans and Democrats in the Senate fought Brownback and conservative Republicans over redistricting, tax cuts and school issues. The impasse over redistricting led to court-drawn districts.
On Thursday, a group of 50 former legislators called Traditional Republicans for Common Sense criticized Brownback's move.
"It's astonishing to see a governor who is more interested in politics than policy, more interested in elections than governing," said Rochelle Chronister, who has served as assistant House Republican leader and chair of the Kansas Republican Party.
"Governor Brownback may want a rubber-stamp majority in the Legislature, but I think Kansans will have something to say about that on Election Day. Kansans want their elected officials to do what's best for their communities, their schools, the elderly and their children," Chronister said.
Traditional Republicans for Common Sense have been highly critical of Brownback signing into law a massive tax cut. Critics say the tax cut will mostly benefit wealthy Kansans while bankrupting schools and social services. Brownback has said the tax cut will spur the economy.
Brownback's spokeswoman said it is not unusual for a sitting governor to get involved in his or her own party's primary battles. She said Graves and Kathleen Sebelius, a Democrat, did the same thing.
Graves, who now lives in Virginia, will make stops next week in Johnson County, Wichita and Salina to stump for Senate incumbents who are battling more conservative Republicans in the primary, The Kansas City Star reported Thursday.
Derrick Sontag, state director of Americans for Prosperity, a Washington-based group that advocates for tax cuts and smaller government, said Graves' planned visits represent "the old guard."
"They may say it, but they don't really believe in a limited government," Sontag said. "Their actions don't back up their rhetoric at times."
Graves served as governor from 1995 to 2003, and political observers believe he brings political and fundraising credibility to moderates who are up against Brownback's conservative backers, which include Sontag's group and the Kansas Chamber of Commerce.
"The moderates who once roamed the Plains very freely are now down to a very limited amount of pasture," said Joe Aistrup, a political science professor at Kansas State University. "If they don't step it up and raise the money necessary to compete against the likes of Brownback, the chamber and Americans for Prosperity, their days are numbered."

Extreme Make-Over: From Grumpy & Frumpy to Juicing and Sugar-Free
The goal is to try juicing for a month or two and see how it helps with sugar cravings, energy, my sleep cycle and my weight (which has skyrocketed since moving to Texas--go figure!).
My husband is on board with this, too. Amazing.
We watched Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead together and when it ended we looked at each other and shared an ah-hah moment. We still have to do our research to see how this will be done, the health benefits/risks, etc. We're really not-knowers when it comes to juicing.
Any tips?

Hi! I've been following your blog for a little while now and I love your articles and recipes. I'm excited about your juicing quest!
There's tons of benefits to juicing, juice fasting, and juice feasting. Norman Walker's book "Fresh fruit and vegetable juices" is a great quick read and awesome reference for benefits of specific types of juices.
Also, www.juicefeasting.com has a lot of information.
As I said before, I'm excited for your juicing experience and thanks for all the sugarless support and recipes!
Have fun!

I am soooooo enjoying your blog. I am a complete sugar addict and will easily replace a meal with cakes or cookies or whatever I can find. I also watched the documentary about juicing several times and want to try it also. It inspired me to at least eat more fruit and vegetables. In your free time please feel free to check out my blog at www.yourtruthdiet.blogspot.com Take care.

Adam-Thanks for the encouragement and book suggestion! I have been trying to find a good guide to use so that this juicing thing is nourishing in all the right ways. We'll see what happens!
Shamekia-I completely get the substituting goodies for meal thing. The sweet tooth can be a raging machine. But, it can get under control, and nothing in the world feels better than being able to turn down sweets. I will check out your blog!

Hi! I just came across your blog when trying to figure out if I could eat dark chocolate while on my "no refined sugar" kick, but had to comment on the juicing. My husband and I started juicing at the beginning of this year, also after watching Fat Sick and Nearly Dead. We just substituted some form of green juice for breakfast each morning, and then sometimes have juice as an afternoon "snack" if we do desire. The difference is incredible, I am looking forward to seeing what you think. We have more energy, have both lost weight, and generally feel cleaner. And as a result, we are eating a lot more vegetables with our other meals as well. Plus, the juice is super yummy! Tips: throw in a lemon, it adds a nice kick. A lot of people add ginger, but we found it to be horrid. Have fun with it!

Alpha Lambda Delta Honor Society earns national recognition
Liberty University's Alpha Lambda Delta Honor Society chapter has earned the 2012 National Order of the Torch Award, ranking it among a select group of elite institutions nationwide.
Only five other universities received the award this year, including Duke University, the University of Maryland, the University of Texas (Austin), Georgia State University, and the University of Texas (El Paso).
The award requires the club to submit a comprehensive report to show it meets all 13 rigorous standards. Liberty's chapter was recognized especially for its engagement in community outreach, including its work with the Lynchburg Jubilee Center for at-risk youths, gathering Thanksgiving baskets for families in need, coordinating a Teddy Bear Drive for the pediatric unit at the local hospital, donating care packages for Hope for the Homestead to aid area families at Christmastime, and supporting Liberty's Students Behind Our Soldiers program.
"Preparing our entry for the Order of the Torch Award was an excellent project to encourage us to work together as a club," said Sarah Lynn Compton, Liberty's 2011-12 ALD vice president. "Members and officers wrote articles, took pictures, and came up with the final design for our entry. It provided our society with a tremendous opportunity to showcase the various projects we had been involved in that year."
|Sandrea Williamson, a member of the ALD National Council, presents Brian Mauldin, Liberty's 2011-12 ALD chapter president, a special scholarship.
In addition to the Order of the Torch, Brian Mauldin, Liberty's 2011-12 chapter president, received a $1,000 2012 National ALD Trow Scholarship Award and Dr. Marilyn Gadomski, a professor of psychology and a chapter faculty advisor, received one of five Executive Director's Awards at the National ALD Leadership Conference in San Antonio, Texas, Oct. 19-21.
Alpha Lambda Delta, founded in 1924 at the University of Illinois, is an honors society that recognizes the achievement of first-year students. Today, there are more than 235 chapters nationwide. Membership is open to full-time freshmen who earn a scholastic average of 3.5 or better at a four-year college/university. Liberty's chapter began in 1986 and has since initiated nearly 2,500 members.
Sandrea Williamson, a member of the ALD National Council, presented the award to Liberty's chapter in the Grand Lobby of Arthur S. DeMoss Learning Center on Friday, Oct. 26.
"You all have contributed to the success and truly understand the purpose of Alpha Lambda Delta," Williamson said. "Those of you who were initiated last spring and the spring before that have passed your torches on into the world. We encourage you to continue to do that and be role models for those that come behind you. You are setting a standard for the campus; you are setting an example for our colleagues."
Liberty last received this honor in 1993.
Chapters are not eligible to apply for the award again in the next four years, but are able to receive the Maintaining the Flame Award for each year it can prove it has maintained the standard of excellence.
Liberty's chapter will hold its next induction ceremony during the Spring 2013 semester. Eligible candidates will be notified and invited to join. Visit the chapter website for more information.

Merchant's House Museum
29 East Fourth Street (Between Bowery and Lafayette)
New York, NY 10003
The Merchant's House is a row house built in 1831 - 1832 by developer Joseph Brewster and purchased by merchant Seabury Treadwell in 1835. Treadwell's last daughter, Gertrude, lived in the house until 1933, leaving it largely unchanged and unmodernized so that it became a time capsule of upper class life in ninteenth-century New York. The parlors are fine examples of Greek Revival architecture.
The house was converted to a museum in 1935, featuring exhibits on New York's transition from farming community to an industrial and mercantile colossus. The facility underwent restoration in 1979 and when I visited in the Fall of 2007, it was undergoing another set of renovations, which accounts for the presence of construction equipment in the photos.

Vice President Joe Biden and his predecessor, Dick Cheney, took to the airwaves Sunday to argue President Obama's national security policies – and showed no love on Valentine's Day.
In a series of appearances – across three networks in total for both men – Cheney argued that Obama was making the country less safe by disavowing waterboarding and misjudging the nature of the enemy, while Biden sought to portray the former veep as misinformed since Obama has continued to follow many Bush-era national security policies and is taking the fight to terrorists.
Here's what the pundits made of the he said, he said exchange:
- "Dick Cheney and Joe Biden created a portrait of themselves Sunday that would have been unthinkable a year ago: Cheney as the odd man out in the Bush administration, and Biden as a proud supporter of the Bush administration's policies on terrorism," writes Politico's Carol E. Lee. The argument was especially "striking" for Biden because he used to campaign "passionately" against Bush's policies, she writes.
- Lee's colleague, James Homnann, adds that Biden's appearance shows "a White House determined to project a posture of strength on national security and trying to gain the upper hand with Republicans who wish to portray Obama as weak."
- Nile Gardiner writes for the U.K.'s Telegraph.co.uk that Cheney has "become an extraordinarily influential game-changer in post-Bush Washington, emerging as Barack Obama's leading nemesis on national security." Cheney is an "unapologetic and uncompromising patriot who believes in the greatness of America on the world stage…" Gardiner writes.
- "Cheney's sell-by date passed a long time ago," writes HuffPo's Jacob Heilbrunn, author of "They Knew They Were Right: the Rise of the Neocons." "The truth is becoming increasingly clear: Barack Obama is a war president," Heilbrunn writes. "If Obama's current military offensive in Afghanistan pans out, he will neutralize the GOP on national security."
- John Nichols, writing for The Nation, argues that Cheney "outflanked the Obama white House on the left" by unequivocally calling for the end of "don't ask, don't tell." A former Secretary of Defense, "Cheney's acknowledgement of the reality that society has moved on puts him in a more progressive position on this issue than the Obama administration," Nichols writes.
- Kansas City Star columnist Yael T. Abouhalkah judges Cheney as ill-informed, especially since he isn't privy to the information he used to receive as vice president. But Biden seems like "Mr. Know-it-all" in TV interviews, Abouhalkah laments.

Author Notes: Shakespeare proclaimed music the food of love, but in our family, it's cookies. From the time my daughter could climb up on a stool and stir chocolate chips into batter, we baked. We created baking experiments for her science projects, and baked cookies and cakes for dinner parties and school functions. My stepsons married women who are both accomplished bakers. Blended families can be...complicated... but baking is the language of our family connection--- chocolate chip cookies, apple pie, brownies, meringues--… a connection that often feels like a miracle.
I am the oldest of four children, and we—my two sisters, my brother and I—are as close as people who live in four separate US states can be. We were all together for the Christmas holidays, and my sister Linda and I decided to (what else?) bake cookies.
Linda is a first grade teacher. For Christmas every year, her students give her boxes of candy, bags of pretzels, tins of popcorn. One of her good friends made delicious homemade granola, which we thought would make a great cookie. We decided to make our version of "compost cookies" by adapting a recipe for crispy oatmeal cookies and using some of her leftover snacks and candies. These cookies are fun, flexible, not fancy but really delicious—qualities I try to bring to all my cooking. My brother-in-law David (Linda's husband) couldn''t get enough of them, and my husband proclaimed them "best cookies ever."
This weekend, at my daughter-in-law's request, I'll be making them for my grandson's first birthday party. In our family, cookies make miracles. - drbabs
Food52 Review: There is a lot to love about this recipe. First of all, it is not bossy. DrBabs gives us the ratios, and then she tells us to pick a salty snack, some candies, some cereal, some sort of nut, and cinnamon or other spices if we are so inclined. I like that. I like that these are pantry cookies because you are sure to have enough this and that to be able to make cookies without a trip to the store. My version had the following; crushed pretzel dipping sticks, a handful of leftover Reeses Pieces, some Ghiardelli semi sweet chips, two granola sample boxes from our last race expo (we don't really eat granola but they were free!), cinnamon and walnuts. Out of the oven they are chewy with a great sweet and salt combination. After they cool they become the perfect crispy friend to an ice cold glass of milk. The only direction that I flat ignored is in step 3: Restrain yourself from eating the raw cookie dough—that's just crazy talk. - aargersi —aargersi
Makes: 24-30 cookies
Prep time: 30 min
Cook time: 20 min
1 1/2
cups unbleached all purpose flour
teaspoon baking powder
teaspoon baking soda
teaspoon kosher salt
1 3/4
sticks (7 ounces) unsalted butter, room temperature
cup granulated sugar
cup light brown sugar
teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup granola (or other cereal)
1/2 cup crushed salted pretzel pieces (or other salty snack food)
cup semi-sweet chocolate chips, chopped chocolate candies, or a small bar of good dark chocolate, chopped into chunks
cup chopped pecans or other nuts, optional
(If you don't use nuts, you may want to add more cereal, snacks or chocolate to compensate.)
You may want to add a little cinnamon, allspice, cardamom, or whatever you fancy. We didn't because we wanted the taste of the granola to come through.
- Whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in medium bowl.
- In another bowl, beat butter and sugars at medium-low speed until just combined, about 20 seconds. Increase speed to medium and continue to beat until light and fluffy, about 1 minute longer. Scrape down bowl with rubber spatula. Add egg and vanilla and beat on medium-low until fully incorporated, about 30 seconds. Scrape down bowl again.
- (For this step you can use a wooden spoon or your mixer on slow speed.) Add flour mixture and mix until just incorporated and smooth. Gradually add granola, pretzels, chocolate and nuts, and mix until well incorporated, ensuring that no flour pockets remain and ingredients are evenly distributed. Restrain yourself from eating the raw cookie dough.
- Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 375 degrees. Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
- Scoop dough into balls, each about 1 1/2 tablespoons, then roll between palms into balls. Place cookies on prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 1/2 inches apart, 8-12 per sheet. Freeze at least 20 minutes, or refrigerate at least one hour before baking. (They will still spread a lot.)
- Bake one sheet at a time until cookies are deep golden brown, 13 to 16 minutes, rotating baking sheet halfway through. Let cool completely before gently moving cookies to wire rack. They will be fragile, especially on the edges.
- If cookies be the food of love, bake on!

Today we stumbled on this image from July of 1955. The caption reads:

SOURCE: ALR Technologies
March 18, 2013 08:18 ET
RICHMOND, VA--(Marketwire - Mar 18, 2013) - ALR Technologies (OTCBB: ALRT) began the second phase of its commercial launch in the United States with the release of a detailed marketing video demonstrating the potential value to employers of improved diabetes care management including reduced healthcare costs, greater employee satisfaction and improved workplace safety. The presentation explains how remote monitoring and care coordination may improve the quality of employer-provided healthcare and assist employers in meeting key goals.
"Every survey of corporate human resources executives tells us that the management of chronic disease, and specifically, the management of diabetes, is critical in managing overall healthcare costs," said ALRT CEO Sidney Chan. "Our program will be a robust tool for employers because it combines remote monitoring, care coordination and communication with employees and clinicians in a way that can demonstrate measureable progress to employers on the chronic disease front," said Mr. Chan.
ALRT President Larry Weinstein added: "All employers are searching for ways to reduce health-care costs and to increase employee satisfaction and productivity. The economics of self-insured employers, in particular, heighten the importance of managing chronic diseases. With our Health-e-Connect Remote Diabetes Management Program, we are now in a position to assist employers with what may be their largest healthcare challenge: limiting the human toll and the financial costs inflicted by the chronic disease of diabetes."
The newly released video contains a detailed presentation on how the remote monitoring and care coordination process will work and why it will be valuable to employers. ALRT believes that self-insured employers, who directly pay the claims for their employees' healthcare, will have keen interest in a program that may help them manage the costs of diabetes. Last week, ALR Technologies announced a partnership with the Mid-America Coalition on Health Care, an employer-driven association representing some of the nation's largest employers and dedicated to improving the quality and lowering the costs of employer healthcare plans.

When cell phones first came out, when they started replacing land lines and oh-so-technologically-advanced car phones, a lot of rumors started spreading about their safety. Some people thought they would slowly poison people.
Others thought they might eschew subtlety and just fry a brain like an egg. As cell phones became more popular, and their users didn't drop like flies, the rumors abated. Perhaps they were just the result of reflexive fear of new technology. Maybe cell phones did nothing an ordinary phone wouldn't. A new study shows, however, that holding a cell phone close to a person's head does have an effect on the brain.
Top image: CNET.
Scientists asked volunteers to strap a pair of cell phones to their heads - one phone pressed to each ear. The phone on one side was turned off, while the phone on the other side recorded a voicemail message. The recording phone was set on mute, so neither phone made a sound. After fifty very monotonous minutes of listening to one phone that was muted and another phone that was turned off, the volunteers got a PET scan.
The PET scan showed a rise in glucose metabolism levels on the side of the head that was pressed to the working phone. Glucose is the staple food of bodily cells. The brain cells showed an increase of glucose metabolism of seven percent. That percentage indicates that the cells in those parts of the brain were burning the energy. They were active. The glucose metabolism in the cells near the ear 'listening' to a non-functioning cell phone remained unchanged.
This study shows that brain cells do respond to the electromagnetic radiation put out by cell phones, but so far there is no indication of what this response means. Are people frying their brains? Some people, including one of the coauthors of the study, is all for limiting time on the cell phone or using speaker phone. On the other hand, isn't it good to use brain cells? Perhaps the wave of the future is sleeping with cell phones strapped to each ear to boost brain power. And even if either possibility is true, how much cell phone use makes a difference? The study leaves a lot of questions unanswered.

Ammunition boxes, such as this 30-caliber shell box, carried ammunition in World War II (WWII) for weapons like the automatic rifle. The boxes had to be constructed to survive harsh conditions. For this reason they were sturdy and watertight, though heavy. Empty "ammo" boxes would have been considered "trash" by the military, but soldiers at the front saved them for their usefulness. They were good for keeping items dry and in a pinch, served as a small table or seat. Today, surviving ammunition boxes from WWII are collectors' items. This ammunition box was brought back to Massachusetts with the Yankee Division at the close of WWII. It was a gift to Christopher R. Pichette of Deerfield, Massachusetts, the seventh child of Robert Pichette of Ashfield, who served in WWII.

Last night, our great friend, Johnny Burke became the newest inductee into Canada's Country Music Hall of Fame. Just the 52nd artist, joining the likes of Anne Murray, Gordon Lightfoot, Hank Snow, Ian and Sylvia Tyson, and Ronnie Prophet so honoured in a country deep with country music traditions.
Below is a photo I took of Johnny at his 2005 induction into the New Brunswick Country Music Hall of Fame.
Johnny is a man of great class and great talent who has entertained for well more than fifty years. And, I'll not forgot that he and his wife Teresa drove an hour and half for just a fifteen minute visit and to wish me well when I was in the hospital's ICU a couple of years ago.
So proud are we of our good friend that we had to drive the 2880 kilometres (about 1800 miles) to Saskatoon, Saskatchewan to witness Johnny receiving his extremely well deserved, but overdue, honour.

Context and content of this CAMS service
The CAMS project (Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service) provides the operational atmospheric environmental service of COPERNICUS. It is operating and improving the data analysis and modelling systems for a number of atmospheric trace gases, among which O3, NO2, CO, SO2 and formaldehyde. It is implemented by ECMWF and funded by the European Union.
The CAMS stratospheric ozone service consists of two main parts:
- The operational stream includes vertically resolved gridded fields and total ozone columns from analyses by the 4D-Var model C-IFS.
- The historic data records comprise both total ozone columns from long-term reanalyses starting in 1978 based on multiple instruments via the TM3DAM approach and 3D gridded fields and total ozone columns from the three above-mentioned 4D-Var models.
Validation of CAMS stratospheric ozone (and related species) is performed with respect to independent data:
- Independent observational satellite (OMPS, ACE) and in-situ data (ozone sondes, lidar)
- First guess values (i.e. assimilated Level-2 ozone data)
- Independent model results (BASCOE, TM3DAM)
Validated models include the CAMS NRT stream (started as MACC service at 2008-07-06, updated daily) and the upcoming CAMS reanalysis.

Returned captives are put through orchestrated steps meant to 'reintegrate' them into society
WASHINGTON – Once released from captivity, a soldier like Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl enters a series of debriefings and counseling sessions, all carefully orchestrated by the U.S. military, to ease the soldier back into normal life.
In military parlance, it's known as "reintegration," and Bergdahl, who spent five years as a captive of the Taliban under circumstances now hotly debated, is working his way through its early stages at a U.S. military hospital in Germany.
A look, in question and answer form, at how this process typically plays out:
Q. When does Bergdahl get to go home?
A. The short answer is, no one knows. Bergdahl has not even placed a phone call to his family, Pentagon officials say. Typically, a returned captive would spend from five days to three weeks in the phase of reintegration in which Bergdahl now finds himself at the Landstuhl Regional Medical Center, according to a Pentagon psychologist who is an expert in dealing with military members who have been released from captivity. The psychologist spoke to reporters on condition of anonymity under ground rules set by the Pentagon.
Once Bergdahl is deemed ready to move on to the next phase of his decompression, he is expected to be flown to an Army medical center in San Antonio, where it is believed he will be reunited with his family.
Q. Why does it take so long?
A. Each case is different, and Bergdahl's is especially complicated. That is partly because he was in captivity for so long and partly because he has been — or soon will be — made aware of accusations that he deserted his post in Afghanistan and willingly sought out the Taliban in June 2009. The military psychologist who briefed reporters Thursday at the Pentagon said negative publicity can have the effect of "hugely" complicating the process of preparing a former captive or hostage for his return home. That would seem to suggest that Bergdahl faces a potentially lengthy reintegration, given the firestorm of criticism over the terms under which he was released and the accusations of disloyalty and other potential misbehavior.
Q. What is Bergdahl facing now?
A. U.S. officials won't talk about specifics beyond saying Bergdahl's health is improving and he is becoming more engaged in his treatment program at Landstuhl. It is unclear why he has not yet spoken by phone to his parents. The military psychologist who briefed reporters said a request by a returned captive to make such a phone call would not be denied typically, although he also stressed that every case has its own peculiarities.
Part of the current phase for Bergdahl includes helping him prepare for situations likely to arise once he returns home. That can include seemingly innocuous things like sounds or smells that trigger memories of captivity or captors. That assistance is provided by psychologists familiar with what the military calls Survive, Escape, Resist, Escape (SERE) techniques, designed originally for air crews captured behind enemy lines.
Q. Has this process been created just for Bergdahl?
A. No, it has evolved and been refined over many decades. It has been applied to many returned captives, including Chief Warrant Officer Michael J. Durant, the Army helicopter pilot who was shot down in Somalia and held for 11 days before being released in October 1993. The reintegration process derived, in large measure, from problems associated with the return of POWs from the 1950-53 Korean War, many of whom endured great hardships and some of whom were suspected of having been brainwashed by their communist captors.
Q. Is Bergdahl being investigated?
A. The investigation that is expected to examine the circumstances of Bergdahl's disappearance in Afghanistan, as well as his behavior during his five years in the hands of the Taliban, has not yet begun. The Pentagon briefers said Thursday that the reintegration process now underway is separate from any investigation.
A major part of what Bergdahl is being prepared for now is how to handle media attention, as well as adjusting to the demands of everyday life. He also is being debriefed by military officials on any useful intelligence he may have as a result of his time with the Taliban. Those debriefings are confidential, meaning Bergdahl is supposed to be protected from incriminating himself during this period of decompression.

WOOSTER, Ohio – Wabash claimed at least a share Saturday of the NCAC championship with a 21-10 win over Wooster. It's the third consecutive year Wabash (8-0, 6-0) has won or shared the championship. With the win the Little Giants also assured themselves a spot in the NCAA Division III Playoffs.
It was neither easy or pretty on a cold, windy, misty day in northeast Ohio. Wooster (2-6, 2-3) did some unexpected things defensively, while also exploiting the Wabash defense for 236 yards rushing. But two Scot turnovers proved to be the big difference; Wabash converted both into touchdowns. (View photo albums number one, number two, and an album by Clayton Craig '08 from The Bachelor.)
Chad Peterman picked off an Austin Holter pass on the game's first series and returned it 20 yards to the Wooster 19. Just four plays later Brock Graham scored on a two-yard run to stun the Scot's Family Day crowd.
"I think we came out with emotion and it couldn't have gone any better for us in the beginning," Coach Chris Creighton said. "I think often when that happens there might be a little bit of a letdown. We probably thought if we got on them early we might get things to roll but we didn't make them roll. Instead, they just dug down and we maybe let down a little bit emotionally."
Wooster quarterback Holter rushed 19 times for 128 yards and threw for 129 yards, but had two interceptions. Running back Dustin Sheppard ran for 117 on 19 carries.
"They did a good job of scheming us," linebacker Adi Pynenberg said. "I think it was a combination of their scheming and us just not doing our job. There were times when they just ran a simple play right up the middle and got 10 yards. As a defense we're better than that. We just can't let that happen.
"And we knew coming into the game we'd have to shut that quarterback down, but he played a really good game."
Wabash extended its first-half lead early in the second quarter with one of its best sustained drives of the season – a 14-play, 92-yard march capped by a leaping Mike Russell 7-yard touchdown catch that made it 14-0.
Wooster came right back with its only first-half points on a 13-play drive that ended with an Andy Milligan 22-yard field goal.
The Scots made things interesting to open the second half by forcing the Little Giants to punt after just four plays. Wooster then went on a 72-yard, 12-play drive that was capped by Holter's four-yard score, 14-10.
Perhaps the game's big turnaround followed. On Wabash's first play, Steve Custenborder picked off Matt Hudson. Wooster was looking for a chance to take the lead on the unbeaten Little Giants
But on Wooster's second play of the possession, Jared Lange broke through untouched and sacked Holter, causing a fumble that was recovered by Wes Anderson at the Wooster 36.
The Little Giants then padded their lead with a 3:25 drive finished off by a Hudson pass to Gabe Guerrero for 12 yards, 21-10.
Wooster had a chance near the end of the game to make things interesting. A high snap on a Chad Finley punt attempt resulted in a broken play and blocked punt. Wooster took over and moved the ball to the Wabash 6-yard line in 10 plays. But Pynenberg intercepted a deflected pass in the end zone to end Wooster's upset hopes.
"I was just following up on a play, it wasn't my guy to cover," Pynenberg said. "I was just following the ball and Richard Roomes knocked it down. It didn't fall to the ground right away; it bounced off someone's leg or something, then it bounced up in the air and I happened to be in the right place at the right time."
Wooster's 236-yard ground attack was complemented by 129 in the air for 365 total yards. Wabash has 113 yards on the ground and 235 via the pass. Hudson had an efficient day hitting on 22-of 27 for two touchdowns and an interception
Pynenberg notched 13 tackles, 2 sacks and 2.5 tackles for loss, putting five tackles away from breaking the Wabash career record of 400 set by Jim "Killer" Kilbane '84. Peterman had a big day to go with his one interception, making 10 tackles.
A win over Denison Saturday would give Wabash the outright NCAC title.
We really did not talk about playoffs or a championship this week at all we just talked about being 1-0 this week," Creighton said. "But now we're talking about the championship. We want to be the undefeated and undisputed champs and now we have a chance to do that."

Native American Schools in Arizona to Install Wind Turbines: A Wind Powering America Success Story
July 30, 2012
Thanks to funding from the Arizona Renewable Energy Investment Fund (REIF), eight Native American schools in the state recently received $1.3 million to build renewable energy systems in their communities. Wind Powering America's Arizona Wind for Schools project supported the development of three of the funded proposals: the Hopi Tribe Renewable Energy Office proposal ($65,000 for 5 kilowatts [kW] wind and 3 kW solar to benefit Moenkopi Day and Hopi Day schools), the Southwest Windpower/Westwind Solar proposal ($236,000 for 12 kW wind and 7 kW solar to benefit Little Singer, Dilkon Community, Leupp, Shonto Preparatory, and NATIVE schools), and the STAR School proposal ($95,000 for 7 kW wind and 1.5 kW solar). In addition, $253,000 will be used to provide wind power to an assisted living facility for the Hopi Office of Elderly Services.
REIF is managed by Grand Canyon Trust, Salt River Project, and Tucson Electric Power. In 2009, REIF received $5 million in funds following the expansion of the Springerville Generating Station coal plant to support projects that reduce pollution and benefit Native American communities in Arizona and northwestern New Mexico. In addition to the $5 million settlement, the owners of the Springerville Generating Station agreed to install state-of-the-art pollution controls on the expansion, as well as upgrade pollution controls on the existing units.
According to Roger Clark, program director for the Grand Canyon Trust, REIF decided to concentrate funding efforts on tribal lands where tax credits and other incentives for renewable energy aren't available.
"The Wind for Schools projects were a good fit for a variety of reasons," Clark said. "It puts wind in schools, helping to reduce their utility bills, and it of course comes with educational programs and curricula to help educate people about renewable energy."
Karin Wadsack, state facilitator for the Arizona Wind for Schools project and research assistant at Northern Arizona University, and her team worked with the various entities that applied for the REIF funds, including Southwest Wind Power, West Wind Solar, the Hopi Tribe, and the STAR School. The Arizona Wind for Schools team facilitated the efforts of the applicants, who wrote their own proposals and conducted site visits. The Arizona Wind for Schools team will continue to provide support for these projects, including hosting teacher training and providing curricula for the classroom, as well as continue ongoing work with the Native schools. For example, they recently hosted a teachers' workshop at Leupp Schools Inc., where another Salt River grant funded the installation of three wind turbines on 70-foot towers.
"Over the course of this coming year, it's vital for us to visit every school that installs a turbine shortly after and host a workshop that shows them where their data is and how to access it and also show them activities to use in their classes," Wadsack said.
Clark believes that the funding for these types of renewable energy projects is essential for making them a reality.
"I know of no other funding source like ours that is doing what we're doing. For the people on the receiving end, it's critically important. These projects may not happen otherwise," Clark said.

The pic was taken at Debbie's ranch. We're told Rowe and Katherine Jackson are close to striking an agreement over the custody of Michael Jackson's kids. Our sources say the deal is not about money.
As we first reported, Debbie is already collecting cash based on an agreement she struck with Jackson around the time of the child molestation trial.

Celebrity hair stylist and Bigg Boss contestant Sapna Bhavnani has gone nude for the latest commercial of PETA.
Sapna, 41, who is known for her tattoos, has appeared in the advertisement which asks people to be comfortable in their own skin and not to use fur and leather items. Her photo in the advertisement comes with the slogan 'Ink, not mink'.
"After I educated myself and saw a few films on the cruelty and what happens to animals, I realised that it just wasn't worth it".
"I take a very strong stance on leather. Pleather is a great substitute for leather. And if you don't know what it is, I just say go to your local shop and ask for that substitute because it is available," Sapna said in a statement.
This is not the first time that Sapna has put her weight behind PETA. She appeared two years ago in another PETA ad holding a pair of scissors and posing next to the caption, "Cut Hair, Not Frogs. Choose to Refuse to Dissect Animals".

Henry got in trouble yesterday for pushing. I've never known him to be a pusher, but hell, no one's perfect. The teacher took me aside after school. It's not a teacher I know well (they have a few teachers and they sort of rotate, or something, I'll never make sense of the system at work in this place) but I recognized that pinched expression, and I thought, crap.
"Henry was being… not very nice," she said. Which I thought was a less than productive way to express her displeasure, don't you? "He was pushing."
"Oh?" I said, and gave her a little shove. Ha ha!
"Oh?" I said, and kept my hands to myself.
"Then," she added, "when he asked him to apologize, he refused, and when we told him that [INSERT KID'S NAME HERE]'s feelings were hurt, he said, 'That's fine.'" She shook her head. "He said, 'I don't even care about him.'"
She seemed shocked by this. Had she never met a five-year-old before? Do all the other children immediately and sincerely express regret for hurting another's feelings? Do none of them attempt to save face by claiming not to care? Do I have the only full-of-crap preschooler in the universe?
I assured her that I would talk with him, but I didn't have to, because Henry gave me an EARFUL. WELL. That other kid was not following the rules, he was supposed to clean up the blocks when block time was over and he did not clean up the blocks when block time was over and those are the rules, and he wouldn't listen, and Henry was going to get in trouble for not cleaning up the blocks but it wasn't fair because everyone has to follow the rules.
In other words, he had a bad day. I tried to talk to him about pushing but lord, he knows he's not supposed to and he didn't want to talk about it and he kicked at trees the whole way home and called everyone in the universe stupid (sorry, even you). Should I have lectured him until he wept? Being a kid sucks sometimes. I opted to give him a break. I expect he'll stop pushing by the time he's in college.
P.S.: a new Wonderland post is up.

Japanese 'Iron Man 3′ Trailer Offers Up Some New Footage
If you're anxious for more Marvel in your life and will watch anything to get it, the new Japanese version of the 'Iron Man 3' trailer should tide you over, as it features a bit of footage not yet seen.
Overall, the trailer offers up much of the same (though edited together differently), with the centerpiece being the fantastic-looking destruction of Casa Stark. The ending of this preview is different from the previous trailer, however, so you might just want to give it a peek.
Marvel's "Iron Man 3" pits brash-but-brilliant industrialist Tony Stark/Iron Man against an enemy whose reach knows no bounds. When Stark finds his personal world destroyed at his enemy's hands, he embarks on a harrowing quest to find those responsible. This journey, at every turn, will test his mettle. With his back against the wall, Stark is left to survive by his own devices, relying on his ingenuity and instincts to protect those closest to him. As he fights his way back, Stark discovers the answer to the question that has secretly haunted him: does the man make the suit or does the suit make the man?
'Iron Man 3' hits North American theaters on May 3, 2013. (In Japan it comes out on April 26.)

We are seeing startling transformation in education and EnglishCentral is part of this. The most important "engine" driving change is that of "connectivity". Meaning, students no longer need to go through an "expert" to access knowledge and to learn. The second biggest driver of change is how technology can personalize and differentiate the learning for each student.
Marshall McLuhan media guru once stated: "There are no passengers on spaceship Earth. We are all crew." This is true about how education will work in the future. Classrooms will be student-centered, and learning will not be teacher-dependent. The classroom will be anytime, everywhere. Learning will happen through sharing, interaction and "connectivity" between peers.
One wonderful example of this change is Sweden's newest school system. Read what they promise students. Forget the walls, it even has no classrooms! Students learn at their own pace and study with those of the same level (not age). Teachers are responsible for all students. This video highlights all the "forwardness" of this new school system.
EnglishCentral is about changing how students learn and teachers teach. Using the power of "anytime/anywhere" to stir the soup and bring a tastier dish to education. We're for opening things up.
The classroom is no longer limited to a space between four walls; it is the connected world. We are all crew and creators of our own learning on this spaceship Earth.

The Korean Heritage Group
Founded in 1997, the Korean Heritage Group is committed to supporting research, exhibition, and acquisition of Korean art and to promoting Korean culture throughout the Philadelphia region. Significant gifts of art and much-needed operational and program funding have come to the Museum through the efforts of the group. It also sponsors an annual Korean Heritage Weekend, featuring traditional performers as well as contemporary musicians such as violinist David Kim, who since 1999 has served as Concertmaster of the Philadelphia Orchestra. Eminent scholars and artists from Korea have been invited to speak on topics such as Korean Buddhist art and Korean ceramics. The Museum's first special exhibition of a contemporary Korean artist, Mountain Dreams: Contemporary Ceramics by Yoon Kwang-cho, held in fall 2003, was supported in part by funding from the Korean Heritage Group, the Korea Foundation, the Blakemore Foundation, the Hollis-Baldek Fund, and Dr. Luther W. Brady, Jr.
The Arts of Korea
Asian art objects acquired from the 1876 Philadelphia Centennial Exhibition—the first world's fair held in the United States—were prominent in the galleries of the Museum's first home, Memorial Hall, when it opened in 1877. Today, the Museum's collections include paintings, sculpture, ceramics, lacquers, metalworks, and textiles from all of Asia, including nearly 200 works of art from Korea. Functionality, simplicity, a lack of artifice, and a respect for nature are hallmarks of the Korean concept of beauty. These values are clearly evident in the Museum's galleries of Korean art. The strength of the Museum's Korean collections lies in the breadth and quality of the ceramics, which range from rare roof tiles from the kingdom of Silla (57 B.C.–A.D.668) and masterpieces of twelfth-century celadonware to dramatic dragon jars from the Chŏson dynasty (1392–1910) and contemporary pieces such as an imposing covered vessel by Kim Yikyung (born 1935).
The first Korean works of art to enter the Museum were several stoneware dishes bequeathed in 1897 by General Hector Tyndale. Since then, the Korean holdings have grown steadily, primarily through gifts from individuals, but also through major purchases made possible in part through support from the Korean Heritage Group. Among these most recent acquisitions are several screens, including a nineteenth-century calligraphy and a depiction of Reeds and Geese by the twentieth-century artist Kim Jin-Woo (1883–1950).
Looking to the Future
Crucial to the expanding collections of Korean art is the availability of adequate and appropriate space in which to display the objects. The newly developed master plan of the Museum envisages significant additional gallery space in which to exhibit the collections. In addition to assembling and presenting a world-class collection of Korean art, the Museum is dedicated to sharing and interpreting the objects with as large an audience as possible through research, educational programs, library resources, publications, and scholarly symposia. Ten million dollars in funding is necessary to assure and enhance the future of the Korean art collections and their care, exhibition, and research:
- to support pending acquisitions
- to establish an endowed acquisition fund for future growth
- to establish the Korean galleries in dramatically larger, state-of-the-art Asian art galleries planned for the Museum's first floor—a significant initiative that aims to double exhibition space for Korean art within a decade
- to endow a permanent position for a curator of Korean art and to support educational programs and scholarly publications
Gifts That Transform
Collections are the lifeblood of the Philadelphia Museum of Art, which is dedicated to forging deep connections between great works of art and the public for whom it holds them in trust. Enriching and expanding the collections are essential to the continued vitality of the Museum and its ability to attract and sustain new audiences. Celebrations of the Museum's 125th anniversary in 2001 highlighted the generosity of its public-spirited benefactors, both past and present. The 125th anniversary gifts of Korean art—ranging from sixth-century ceramics to twelfth-century bronze mirrors and nineteenth-century screen paintings—have truly transformed the Museum's collections and illuminated paths for future growth. Among the objects still on the Museum's "wish list" are:
- examples of fifth- and sixth-century goldsmiths' work
- early Buddhist painting
- costume and textiles
- sixteenth- and seventeenth-century punch'ong and white-ware ceramics
- literati painting
- contemporary crafts and calligraphy
Sharing the Gifts of Korean Art: Education and Outreach
The Department of Asian Art, working with the Museum's Division of Education and Department of External Affairs, has built a nationally acclaimed model for artistic and outreach programs. These programs engage visitors of all ages and backgrounds—including the 70,000 members of the Philadelphia region's vibrant Korean and Korean-American community—with the Museum's significant and growing collections of Korean art. Held annually, the immensely popular Korean Heritage Weekend explores Korean art and culture through music, dance, tours, and hands-on craft activities; a series of special family events focuses on the Museum's collections of Korean art; and numerous initiatives benefit educators and their elementary through high-school students by combining visits to the Museum with specialized in-classroom teaching resources—slide packets, full-color teaching posters, and craft-technique demonstration kits. The Museum is also a national leader in distance learning, which uses video-conferencing technology to bring live, interactive lessons—originating at the Museum—to schools across the United States.

ADRIAN, Mich. – The 2011 season ended on a high note for the Adrian College football team as they posted a shutout against Alma College, 16-0, to finish the season with an 8-2 record and a 4-2 MIAA mark. For the second straight game at Performance Stadium, the Scots failed to score a point after a 7-0 loss in 2009.
The first half saw all of the scoring for the Bulldogs who won for the fifth straight time over Alma. The right foot of senior Logan Mitseff saved the team from leaving the field with no points as three drives stalled inside Alma territory. Mitseff set a career-high with three field goals and scored 10 of the team's 16 points in his final game.
Mitseff capped off a seven-play, 32-yard drive at the 9:54 mark of the first quarter with a 41-yard field goal which split the uprights to give AC a 3-0 lead. Adrian was helped out on their second drive as Alma attempted a rugby-type punt and Austin Montgomery was stripped off the ball by Charles Fleck at the Alma 5-yard line on fourth down. Danny Cobb carried twice for four yards and then junior quarterback Brandon Miller called his own number for a one-yard touchdown dive with 6:12 left in the first to give AC a 10-0 lead. It was Miller's second rushing score of the season.
Senior linebacker Darren Walter halted the Scots next drive as he popped running back Aaron Hahn for a two-yard loss at the Adrian 44-yard line. Sophomore lineman Aaron Gray fell on the ball for the first takeaway of the game for Adrian. The Bulldogs drove down to the Alma 5-yard line but had to settle for a Mitseff 22-yard field goal with 30 seconds left in the opening quarter to make it 13-0.
Senior cornerback Keman Jacobs intercepted Alma quarterback Jarrett Leister on the second play of the second quarter and returned it 48 yards to the Alma 11-yard line for the second takeaway of the afternoon by the Bulldog defense. Once again however the Adrian offense sputtered and Mitseff booted a 20-yard field goal with 11:42 left in the second to make it 16-0.
Neither team scored after that point as Leister was intercepted again this time by senior linebacker Bryan Garbarino midway through the second quarter. Adrian fumbled for their lone turnover of the game on the next possession at the Alma 33-yard line. The Scots moved as deep as the Adrian 35-yard line on their last possession of the first half but could not convert on third-and-11 and had to punt with 1:03 to go until intermission.
The third quarter featured four punts and little excitement as both teams combined to gain 122 yards. The Scots had their best chance at points on their first drive of the fourth quarter. Alma used a 10-play drive and took 5:40 off the clock, but stalled on fourth-and-2 at the Adrian 15-yard line as Hahn rushed for no gain with a tackle by junior Kevin Kleine.
Alma (2-8, 1-5 MIAA) only passed for three yards in the contest. It is not known whether that is a program low for Alma. The Scots ran the ball 45 times for 122 yards (2.7 ypr) and converted just 1-of-12 on third down and 0-of-3 on fourth down. Adrian gained 286 total yards including 168 on the ground. Freshman Dae'Von Robinson carried 14 times for a career-high 93 yards and also had a career-long 50-yard run. Cobb gained 71 yards on just seven carries. Miller finished 12-of-21 passing for 118 yards with no touchdowns or interceptions. Junior Justin Hemm caught six passes for 80 yards.
The Adrian defense had nine tackles for loss with three sacks for a loss of 16 yards. Senior end Steve Mauk finished with five tackles and a sack for a loss of 10 yards. Walter ended his career with five tackles including two tackles for a loss of six yards.

Windows Media Player includes some of the most popular codecs, like MP3, Windows Media Audio, and Windows Media Video, but it doesn't include the codecs required for Blu‑ray Discs, FLAC files, or FLV files. If something isn't working with Windows Media Player, you might not have the right codec on your PC. The easiest way to solve the problem is to go online and search for the codec you need.
You should only install codecs, filters, or plug-ins from trusted, authorized sources, such as the official website of the codec manufacturer. Be careful when you install codecs that you've found on the Internet, particularly the free codec packs that claim to include codecs from many companies, because these codec packs might include software that can damage your PC. If you've installed any codec packs and are having problems with the Player, we recommend that you remove them.
Here are answers to some common questions about codecs.

Happy N7 Day! It's been a decade of fun.
Yeah, this is a bit late. Apologies.
Anyway, the first game in the franchise came out in 2007, and woah nelly did everything change as a result. Four mainstream games, a handful of mobile games, countless comics, novels, and even an animated movie resulted. Love it, hate it, Mass Effect had a tremendous effect on RPG gaming, and how it could show us characters and worlds we'd never encountered before. Not to mention how the player could interact with them and change things based on those interactions and decisions.

DVCOM needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 58 designs submitted by 21 freelance designers.
Looking for a logo for a tribute band brand concept: PLATINUM ROCKSTARS: http://www.platinumrockstars.com
PLATINUM ROCKSTARS is a tribute band brand concept. We are looking for a logo that feels like the name sounds. Bands we do tributes to include Def Leppard, Van Halen, Bon Jovi, Boston, Foreigner and Journey. You get the idea: BIG ROCK. :-)
- Logo must use all upper-case characters
- Logo must look showy, big but above all: LEGIBLE. These band names get greatly reduced in show listings and they must stand out even at tiny sizes.
- Design must work on a black background as that is what the website uses (http://www.platinumrockstars.com)
- Looking for something bold!
- Logo must not use a "star" symbol for the "A" like Rockstar Energy Drink :-)
- Illegible, fillagreed, baroque and ornate are not what we're going for.

Not to be confused with transformers of the same name.... even though it transforms. Though it has no 'discuise' its a clunky flying machine that can unfold some heavy duty legs with rollers and simple claws. Inspired by everything from Star Trek to Ghost in the Shell.
These are the 3D roughs. I spent a little more time on this one blocking everything in at least to match a visual function. I imagine the inside of the 'knee' joints can slide up and down on the inside of the legs. I like the look of the cages you see around deep sea submersibles and I felt it would be fitting. Not to mention the little forearms (also similar to a few Ghost in the Shell robots)
Also Happy Holidays to everyone!!! Happy new year!!
