SCRANTON, Pa., Feb. 20 (UPI) -- The NCAA Wednesday filed suit against a new Pennsylvania law mandating fines paid by Penn State in the Jerry Sandusky pedophile case stay within the state.
Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Corbett signed the bill into law Wednesday, and only hours later the NCAA filed suit in federal court, claiming the state's Higher Education Consent Decree Endowment Act amounts to unconstitutional state legislative overreach.
The law demands the $60 million fine Penn State has agreed to pay the NCAA as a penalty for the child sex abuse perpetrated by the former Nittany Lions assistant football coach go into a state-controlled endowment instead.
The NCAA's suit asks that the law be stricken down as an illegal taking of private property and a restriction of interstate commerce.
"State governments can't simply pass laws to rewrite private agreements and divert private money to their own coffers," NCAA Chief Legal Officer Donald Remy said.
"If individual [NCAA] members or state lawmakers take it upon themselves to decide what sanctions are appropriate, simply to protect their home team, then collegiate sports would be dramatically altered," added NCAA President Mark Emmert.

It's All Virtual
I define a virtual event as "a web and occasion-based gathering that facilitates information sharing, collaboration and interaction." I'm a practitioner of virtual events and I blog frequently about the topic at It's All Virtual (http://allvirtual.wordpress.com).
The book seeks to reach marketers who are tasked with lead generation / demand generation. In fact, here is an excerpt from Chapter 1 of the manuscript:
``Virtual events can be a dream for marketers. They can generate leads cost effectively and they facilitate real-time interactions with sales prospects that can lead to quicker and more efficient marketing qualification. The "post-lead" nurturing process has been combined into the same act of generating the lead. I call this "accelerated lead generation" and for marketers, this means more "sales ready" leads that Sales can then turn into faster bookings.''

CLASSIC RETREAT - Enjoy the late summer in the magical land of Morocco on our Classic retreat. Tours, spas, cuisine, camel rides on the beach, and MORE!
This retreat is part of our GIVE BACK initiative, where EPM will donate at least 10% of profits to a humanitarian partner in the community where each retreat is held. Our partner in Marrakesh is PROJECT SOAR who works with underprivileged communities and young women to empower with design, clean-up projects, and creative ventures.
This fantastic yoga retreat will take place at the fabulous Peacock Pavilions "Do Good" boutique hotel. Located in Marrakesh on 8.5 acres of land, including 5 acres of olive grove, this stylish and eco-friendly abode has been featured in worldwide publications, including National Geographic Traveler.
Breathtakingly beautiful and luxuriously designed, the living quarters where guests will stay during the retreat features gorgeous fireplaces and a glamorous bathrooms in each room. Each bedroom also has its own private terrace - "just the right place to enjoy a minty tea or a zingy cocktail"!
The entire pavilion property has been decorated with care and "loaded with art, special fabrics, and exotic good stuff from all around the world...A swanky place to relax, the salon/great room has a stunning lacy plasterwork that took weeks to complete. There is also seating and dining areas for intimate discussions and cozy meals. A spiral staircase leads to a catwalk high in the air, where you can sit on vintage embroideries and admire the view." Not only is this place gorgeous, but it's also eco-friendly. Observing "green" building and gardening techniques, you'll feel good about the organic bounty served to your plate, and the hot water you use heated by the solar panels! Spend some free time at the lovely, inviting pool and patio, or join us for a henna and cocktail party in the painted tent, or perhaps an outdoor cinema night on the lawn.
Peacock Pavilions is owned by Maryam and her husband Chris, both recently featured on HGTV's House Hunters International. Chris is an architect, and Maryam a freelance photographer, travel and lifestyle writer, and the author of the award winning blog, My Marrakesh. Both make a perfect team in putting this amazing estate together.
Healthful, vegetarian food is part of the retreat experience, including breakfast, lunch, and dinner daily either hosted at Peacock Pavilions or out and about in town. Some even come with a side dish of belly-dancing! Plus, there is a wine-tasting, a cocktail reception, and even a meal on the Moroccan seaside. The cuisine is simple, delicious and Moroccan, using fresh ingredients from the on-site organic gardens or local markets. Selection may include tempting dishes and libations like stuffed dates, almond couscous, vegetable terrine, avocado dip, leek tarts, mint tea, pomegranate martini, rose water, and more. Selection is seasonal, and you can guarantee to love and appreciate each bite.
Guests will not only enjoy the grounds of Peacock Pavilions, the outdoor areas including a lovely pool, patio, private terraces, and covered yoga platform, but the retreat includes some amazing day-trips to the surrounding sites. A guided day in Marrakesh will lead guests through an introduction to Souks and visits to sites such as Jardin Majorelle and Ben Youssef Medrasa.
A full day will be spent exploring the beach town of Essaouria with time to relax in the markets, along the shore, and enjoy camel rides on the shore. The final full day entails a trip to the famous Bains de Marrakesh, a luxurious spa facility, where guests can be pampered to their heart's content (one treatment is included in retreat cost). What better way to wrap up a week of yoga than a day of pure relaxation.
Daily meditation and yoga classes will be offered in a way to relax, stimulate, and help guests grow in their own personal practice. Classes are open to all levels, beginner to practiced, and can range from gentle, restorative, and more vigorous vinyasa flow and ashtanga styles.* Style and class levels will be determined and moulded to fit participating students' needs, and with a small intimate retreat class size, students will be able to get personalized attention and comfortability to deeply explore their practice. Depending on each retreat location, classes will be held in a dedicated indoor yoga space and some also offer outdoor options as well for us to use if the weather is agreeable.
Certified yoga instructor and EPM founder, Erin Lewis, will facilitate the classes, helping each student focus on improving their practice and gaining new insights into their bodies and movements. She's studied various types of yoga disciplines since 1998, concentrating on the Ashtanga discipline since 2008. She received her teacher certification in Florence, Italy and has continued her education with various specialty certifications throughout the years. She now combines powerful movements with more anatomical-based core vinyasa flow and restorative movement in her personal practice and teaching style.

A Catholic priest in California is found dead inside of a Eureka church rectory. KIEM's Robyn Ridpath reports.
A Catholic priest was found dead in the rectory of his California church Wednesday morning, and police are investigating it as a murder, authorities said.
Rev. Eric Freed's body was discovered at St. Bernard's Catholic Church in Eureka, Calif., according to Mayor Frank Jager.
"Father Eric was a friend of mine, a tremendous person in the community," Jager said in a video of a press conference posted on local news website lostcoastoutpost.com. "This is absolutely a tremendous loss not only for the St. Bernard's parish but for our community in general."
Police Chief Andrew Mills told reporters that staff members called police about 9 a.m. local time on Wednesday when they found a man's body.
St. Bernard's Catholic Church
St. Bernard's Catholic Church in Eureka, Calif., posted a tribute to Father Eric Freed, who was found slain in the church's rectory Wednesday.
He did not identify Freed as the victim during the news conference, although Jager did.
The death did not appear to have occurred under "normal circumstances" so police launched a murder investigation, Mills said.
He did not offer any details from the crime scene. No one was in custody, and police released little additional information, but they did say were seeking Freed's dark gray Nissan Altima hybrid.
The church canceled its 7 p.m. Mass and posted tribute to Freed on its website.
In his Christmas message, posted on the church's website (.pdf), Freed declared that he was "proud and honored ... to be your pastor."
"Our parish is alive, joyful, and full of faith, hope, and charity that define us as Catholic Christians," he wrote.
Representatives from St. Bernard's were not immediately available for comment.
Freed was beloved in Eureka, especially among its sizable Japanese community, Jager said. He was installed formally as pastor at St. Bernard's parish in 2011. In addition to his priestly duties, Freed taught in the Religious Studies Department at nearby Humboldt State University.
"Those of us that believe in prayer, this is the time for that, and I hope we can find out who did this," he said.
Officials said the street in front of the church would be blocked off for people who want to gather to pray.

Subscribe To Frozen's Josh Gad Surprises Fans At A Sing-A-Long Screening Updates
I've already subscribed
Fandango recently surveyed more than a thousand Frozen Sing-A-Long ticket-buyers and found that 40% of them picked Olaf the snowman as their favorite character in the movie. If the people who attended the Sing-A-Long at the El Capitan theater in Hollywood this Sunday were in agreement with that assessment, it's likely that they were extremely pleased by the surprise appearance of Josh Gad at the event. Voice of the adorable snowman, Gad took the stage to thank the fans for knowing the words to the songs and encouraged them to sing especially loud during his song, "In Summer."
The video below includes some B-roll footage of the event. The first half shows fans belting out Elsa's "Let it Go" with gusto. And then toward the end of the video, you'll see Gad's part...
Our own Kristy Puchko attended a different screening of the Frozen Sing-A-Long event and published this GIF Review during which she admits to being a "teary mess" by the end of Elsa's "Let it Go." Given that I found myself reaching for the tissues just watching the above video, I'm fairly certain I wouldn't have been able to get through the sing-a-long with dry eyes. Especially hearing the little kids singing along so enthusiastically. Too adorable and completely too much for those of us who get inexplicably weepy over powerful, emotional musical numbers in movies.
Gad's appearance at the El Capitan screening must have been a real treat for the El Capitan audience. It's not hard to guess why people love Olaf so much. He's so funny and Gad's voice adds a layer of amusement and innocence that really makes the character lovable, especially when he obliviously sings about how glorious summer will be in "In Summer"...
Disney's marketing has been top notch for this movie, not only in getting people excited about it when it first released back in November, but in keeping the (snow)ball rolling in the months that have followed as word-of-mouth and awards buzz has continued to keep the film among some of the top weekend grossers. Among Disney Animations' efforts is the Sing-A-Long event and they've also posted some great Olaf videos to YouTube, including the most recent one, which showed up just in time for Super Bowl Sunday and shows Kristoff and Olaf trying to play football...
I'm no football expert, but that's a field goal right?
Between the Sing-A-Long, the Oscar buzz for the film and Best Original Song, and the approaching digital release of the movie, the momentum for the film should carry fans' interest right to the March-set Blu-ray launch.

Liberty News
New cooking classes kick off healthy habits
Sodexo, Liberty University's dining services provider, not only takes on the monumental task of preparing and serving meals for thousands across campus, it is also committed to educating students to eat right.
Robin Quay, Sodexo's registered dietitian at Liberty, along with Peter Jerominek, Sodexo executive chef, began offering free cooking workshops last semester to help students make healthy lifestyle choices. This semester, four workshops are being offered every fourth Tuesday, beginning Jan. 29, in the executive dining room at Reber-Thomas Dining Hall.
Topics include general nutrition, finding healthy foods in the dining hall, the importance of being active, how good nutrition can prevent colds and flu, reading nutrition labels, portions, calories and sugar in beverages, and any other nutrition topic students may want to know more about, Quay said. She and Jerominek discuss different types of nutrition for the day's theme, and then show students how to make three dishes.
"It is a great way to work with students. I feel like there is definitely a need to help students understand that what they eat affects what they do," Quay said. " (The class is) fun, it's casual, the students get to eat, and they get to try new things."
She said the idea started when she saw a need for student-athletes to learn practical methods for achieving nutrition goals. The class is open to all students, however. Last semester nearly 50 students participated.
Dillon Segur, a member of Liberty's men's tennis team, said he has made nearly every dish he learned in the class.
"My favorite part is the activities that we get to do. They not only tell us what to do but we get to learn through hands-on experience," he said.
Liberty offers many resources to help students develop healthy habits for body, mind, and spirit, from extensive intramural and Club Sports programs, to top-notch fitness facilities and free exercise classes, to exciting outdoor excursions and a fun variety of Student Activities.
- For more information on the cooking classes or to sign up, call (434) 582-2262.

Bennett stayed at the hotel, suffering from stomach problems. The Lady Bisons lost to Stetson in an Atlantic Sun game at the Edmunds Center in DeLand, Fla. The victory ended a five-game losing streak for Stetson.
For the second game in a row the Lady Bisons started off strong, only to fall behind as the game progressed.
Lady Bisons sophomore guard Jenna Bartsokas stole the ball and scored on a lay-up for the first points of the game 1:48 in the first half.
A lay-up by freshman center Clair Waggener at 15L49 and a jump shot by freshman forward Brittany Duerk at 13:56 kept the Lady Bisons ahead by four.
With 10:36 remaining in the first half sophomore guard Miaca Bowman connected on a 3-point shot to give the Lady Bisons a 16-10 advantage.
A pair of free throws by sophomore forward Cree Nix gave the Lady Bisons an 18-10 lead with 9:28 left to play before intermission.
But Stetson started to pick away at the Lady Bisons lead. With 46 seconds remaining in the first half Kelly Ellison's jumper gave Stetson a 24-23 lead.
The Lady Bisons would pull within two points of Stetson, 34-32, with 16:31 left to play in the game on a 3-point shot by forward Jilian Partin. That was the closest the Lady Bisons would be to Stetson the rest of the way.
Partin led the Lady Bisons with 13 points. Freshman forward Anna Bowers chipped in with 11.
Duerk led the Lady Bisons with eight rebounds. It was a season-high for Duerk and the first time she has been the rebounding leader.
Stetson placed three players in double figures. Guard Tierra Brown led the way with a game-high 17 points. Forwards Jessica Conner and Ashli Jackson each added 12 points. Conner also grabbed a game-high nine rebounds.
The Lady Bisons are 4-17 overall, 2-10 in the conference. Their next game is at Campbell Feb. 5.
Stetson is 8-14 overall, 5-8 in the A-Sun.

Edit: Unfortunately I can't post a direct link to the video (hello monetization!) so I'll post a link to polygon.com's article where the video is available.
This is one of the most amazing things I've ever seen done in Minecraft. Two friends, one a designer and one a programer, have decided to recreate the original Legend of Zelda within Minecraft. LoZ is, of course, a two dimensional game. But they have turned the game into a fully functional, 3 dimensional, exact replica of the LoZ map! While this is technically still a work in progress, the map is fantastic!
Let's take a look at what the actual Nintendo Legend of Zelda map looks like.
And here's a look at the in-game map showing an overview of the world.
That's some serious dedication … and keep in mind that buildings, mountains, trees and other in-game objects are three dimensional!
The true beauty of this project is exploring the limits of what Minecraft can do, as well as the incredible ingenuity required to make everything work. On a smaller scale, this has some exciting implications in the classroom. Historical events, real cities and other places can be recreated and characters or historical figures can be programmed to interact with players as they explore the map. Puzzles, hidden treasures and monsters can all be included to make the game interactive, realistic or just more fun!
The guys behind this project have done an incredible job and it's worth keeping an eye on the project to see how it turns out. Here's a link to their website and reddit discussion thread:
… it's so exciting to see the iconic room with the old man and see the words "It's dangerous to go alone. Take this!" appear on the screen.

All indicators are up when it comes to mobility: More devices, more users, more budget, and more applications. Business technology leaders must begin planning now for a security paradigm shift, one that will pull together disparate security policies into a single, user-centric, universal policy that can apply to whatever devices and apps employees use. This white paper from BlueCoat explores the new security challenges mobility trends are creating, and how security must change to meet them.

But we aren't finished yet -- we have a few more hours in the campaign and we'd really like to take it one step further. If we can reach $42,000 by Friday mid-day (2:24 PM Eastern, to be exact), we'll use the extra funds to bring the Aatsinki family to the U.S. for the film's premiere. Don't you want to meet the cowboys? I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around it, I'm so excited!
The other thing we'll do if we make it to $42,000 is send an ARCTIC COWBOY temporary tattoo to every donor who wants one -- even those of you who only help out with a dollar or two. Meeting our original goal was an important step, but we also launched this campaign to get the word out about the film and reach as many people as possible -- which means we still need your help. If each of you can get just one friend to support the project between now and Friday, it will make a huge difference in many ways!
Thank you all for bringing the campaign so far in just a few short weeks, and for helping us take advantage of the awesome opportunity the next few hours provide.
To my friends, old and new,
As many of you know, I have spent the last year living with and filming a family of reindeer herders in Finnish Lapland, well above the Arctic Circle near the small town of Salla. In November 2011, I completed the last of six shoots and began editing a documentary about their amazing lives called AATSINKI. Making this film has been a labor of love for me, but I've gone as far as I can on my own – now I need your help.
$38,000 is the bare minimum I need in order to finish the film and cover some essential expenses (for those of you who want to know exactly where your contribution will go, there are details below). Anything raised over this amount will be used to kick off the film's theatrical distribution and – most important – to bring the Aatsinki family to New York for the premiere! If I don't make it to $38,000 mark, none of your generous pledges will go to the project, so please give early, contribute what you can, and tell your friends! Also, there are rewards!
With undying gratitude,
Brothers Aarne and Lasse Aatsinki are cowboys of the Arctic. Quiet but good natured, dare-devilish but humble, rugged but gentle, and exceptionally knowledgeable when it comes to their little slice of wilderness. These men are what John Wayne wanted to be. The brothers, along with their wives and children, live well north of the Arctic Circle in Finnish Lapland, where they are the leaders of a collective of traditional reindeer herders who manage the last group of wild reindeer in all of Finland. AATSINKI follows the family for the span of one year, quietly observing their seasonal routines and the difficulties and joys of a life so closely tied to the land.
Theirs is a story of action and work, of small moments between husband and wife, father and daughter, animal and man, man and landscape. It is a life of sweeping panoramas and commonplace details. The simplicity of the film allows the extraordinary action to shine through, whether it be a thousand reindeer cresting a hill or Aarne's daughter opening a Christmas present.
Though, on the surface, AATSINKI is the story of a single family, its underlying narrative is one of global consequences and connections. Between their uncanny understanding of the landscape and their reindeer on the one hand, and their heavy reliance on snowmobiles and helicopters on the other, the herders have been categorized as beacons of sustainability and demons of environmentalism – in essence, poster children for simplicity and technology alike. Their story raises weighty questions about what it means to live with the land and invites audience members to reconsider their own assumptions about technology, food production, and, most critically, man's place in nature.
AATSINKI is part rugged cowboy adventure, part environmental study, and 100% a love letter to this family's way of life. I found Aarne and Lasse while searching for the modern equivalent of the classic American frontier story. Though they ride snowmobiles instead of horses and wear fur hats instead of Stetsons, they are quintessential Arctic cowboys. Having made their home in one of the most extreme environments imaginable, they have pioneered and prospered where most people wouldn't even vacation.
With AATSINKI, I hope to make sub-zero weather, 24-hour nights, and an intense bond with nature feel real to someone who has always had a thermostat and known the glow of electricity. The film creates an atmosphere, a soundscape, and a pace that will fully submerse the audience into Finnish Lapland and its people.
First and foremost, your contribution will allow me to finish AATSINKI (which means finalizing the edit, sound design, color correct, titles and credits, and making exhibition copies).
Finishing the film is just the beginning though! In order to get AATSINKI out into the world, I need to make press materials, develop an advertising strategy, create posters, design merchandise, apply for film festivals, build and print DVDs, and basically keep USPS in business by shipping screeners all around the world. Each of these steps is critical to the success of the film, and every contribution makes a big difference!
We accept donations from as little as $1, and we sincerely appreciate contributions large and small. Please join others in helping us finish the film so we may bring AATSINKI to audiences around the world.
Thanks for asking! Please blog, tweet, write, and sing about the film and our Kickstarter campaign. Spreading the word is half the battle!
Also, if you "like" us on Facebook or follow us on Twitter, we'll be sure to keep you updated on our progress.
We would love to hear from you! Leave us a comment above or email us at email@example.com and we'll get back to you as soon as possible.

Maybe she wasn't crying over spilled milk after all.
A paper trail documenting the making of the E-Trade Super Bowl ad that has LiLo in a rage shows creators changed the name of the boyfriend-stealing baby from "Deborah" to "Lindsay" as they turned the innocent tot into a sleazy "milkaholic."
Internal documents obtained by an Esquire magazine reporter permitted to sit in on the strategy sessions at Grey Group, which produced the spot, reveal creators talked about words to describe a tot named "Deborah." A few weeks later, scribbled notes show "Deborah" scratched out and replaced with "Lindsay," according to Esquire.
Lindsay Lohan filed a $100 million lawsuit against E-Trade this week, saying the she-baby was modeled after her (there's only one Lindsay in the world) and the characteristics of baby Lindsay in the ad make a mockery of "adult" Lindsay's life.
The hard-partying starlet is notorious for getting out of control at times, after which she may or may not spend a brief time in rehab. Her attorney wants an injunction to pull all the spots off the air, and Team Lindsay wants every last copy.
In the ad that aired during the Super Bowl, E-Trade's famous talking baby boy is talking to a jealous gal pal who accuses him of hanging out with a "milkaholic" named "Lindsay."
The steamed baby girlfriend then skeptically inquires, "And that milkaholic Lindsay wasn't over?"
"Lindsay?" the baby boy responds, just as a baby girl in the room pops her head into the frame and says, with slurred speech, "Milk-a-what?"
LiLo's attorney, Stephanie Ovadia, told The New York Postthat when Grey Group changed the ad baby's name from Deborah to Lindsay, they also changed the words used to describe her.
Initial descriptions of "Deborah" included "cockadoodle" and "leaking diaper," whereas words written on the same page as Lindsay's name included names like "gutter hound" and "skanky cake," according to the Post.
Now even Dina Lohan is getting involved (watch out). The tabloid-friendly mother of the actress told the Post the ad was a direct assault on her daughter.
"[The notes are] horrific. This just proves our point," she said. "Oh my goodness, I can't even read this, it's so disgusting."
Grey Group maintains the name Lindsay has nothing whatsoever to do with the often troubled Lohan.
E-Trade couldn't be reached for comment.

28 February 2018
It is fitting that the men's field is so deep and the Kiwis so strong, as IRONMAN New Zealand celebrates 20 years in Taupo, 35 years in total and IRONMAN celebrates its 40th anniversary at Kona, with Pro and amateur athletes alike keen on securing a start in October this year.
Heading that Kiwi list is defending champion Braden Currie (Wanaka). After finishing second at Challenge Wanaka a week and a half ago, the 30-year-old is feeling great in mind and body as he approaches one of his favourite events.
"The summer has been epic so far. I've really enjoyed all of the events on my calendar and it's been nice to be able to train at home in Wanaka.
"Racing last weekend in a half distance was a great chance for me to have a good hit out before IRONMAN New Zealand next weekend in Taupo. IRONMAN New Zealand is a very special event for me. Taupo turns it on, it's a beautiful place and I am looking forward to heading up there and having some downtime with my family, as much as I am also looking forward to racing."
Ironman New Zealand has been Currie's focus event for the summer. Moments after finishing the IRONMAN World Championships at Kona last October, Currie announced his commitment to return in 2018. Since then his focus has been on building on the endurance base he developed from Kona last year, staying healthy and building speed on the run.
"After a solid summer of consistent training I am feeling really good going into my biggest event of the New Zealand summer.
"After racing Kona last year and having a few setbacks but also a lot of learning, I am hoping to go back again this year and have the chance to race the race. Last year was brutal, but I don't mind the suffer fest that comes with this event."
Leading the challengers to Currie's crown is a man who has won it 12 times already. Now 45, Cameron Brown is the King of Taupo, and has no plans to let father time or anyone else tell him he can't contend again.
"I still have the mindset of wanting to win and achieve my goals just like I did when I first started doing Ironman. My motivation comes from different things now as well, doing well for my family, putting food on the table! Trying to beat the younger guys.
"Training has gone very well and there have been no hiccups at all! I enjoyed a solid race at the Port of Tauranga in January with a 3rd place. My normal IRONMAN buildup is always good when there are no injuries or illnesses so that's a big help."
Brown is better placed than most to comment on the 20-year anniversary in Taupo, he has won here 12 times and started every one of the previous 19 races.
"The event has grown from 700-800 athletes in the first year and a small crowd of supporters to close to 2000 athletes, fantastic crowd support and a huge volunteer base, so the Taupo community has really got behind the event. Those last few kilometres along the Taupo lake front are amazing on race day and really one of the best finishes in the world.
"It's a super strong Kiwi field this year though with Braden, Terenzo, Mike, Dougal, Dylan, Callum, Simon and Guy, and then the overseas pros with Cyril, Jan and Joe. Some great swimmers, bikers and runners so it will be one tough race to win!"
Terenzo Bozzone (Auckland) will likely be a huge factor on race day, while the still only 32-year-old is yet to win Taupo, he has stood on the podium five times since his 2008 debut and is respected worldwide as a competitor. After enduring an interrupted first half to 2017, Bozzone came good in the latter part of the year, with a sixth-place finish at Kona suggesting the best is yet to come from the likeable long striding Aucklander.
Dylan McNeice might be the 'sleeper' in the field, after missing 2017 due to hip surgery, the fiercely determined Christchurch athlete can't wait to get back to Taupo.
"I have been looking forward to racing back at Taupo for two years now. I am more motivated than ever and feel as though I am stronger and fitter than ever and have been super happy with my form leading in to this weekend. However, I will need every bit of fitness, strength, and form come race day with every Kiwi under the sun racing it seems!"
All of the internationals must be respected, but the one to watch is last year's third place finisher Cyril Veinnot (FRA). The Frenchman posted a 2:43 marathon in 2017, beaten only by the indefatigable Brown, a repeat on the back of an improved swim and bike will have him in the chase. The race has a proud history of overseas athletes on the podium, and despite the strength of the Kiwis, it wouldn't surprise to see one or two of the foreign legion in the top three come Saturday afternoon.

Can You DIY? Learn How to Do What Your Grandparents Knew
Before the global sugar industry, local honey was the universal sweetener. Because raw honey has antibacterial properties and tends to crystallize, it can store indefinitely.
Stock up on raw, local honey in the summer when it's been freshly collected. The freshest and purest honey will crystallize rapidly—and this is a good thing. It's what preserves the quality of the honey. The actual rate of granulation will depend on the floral source: Blackberry honey may granulate in two weeks, while fall wildflower honey takes about a month. Honey granulates quickest at 57°F, so aim for that.
When you need some honey, scoop crystals into an open jar. Set the jar into a pot of hot water for a minute or so, and it will return to its clear and liquid state. Then you're ready to use it.
For baking, substitute 1/2 cup to 2/3 cup of honey per cup of white sugar. Reduce the amount of other liquids by 1/4 cup to 1/2 cup for every cup of honey used. Lower the oven temperature about 25°F because honey browns faster than sugar. Add 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda for each cup of honey in your recipe, because honey is naturally acidic and baking soda will temper it.
Darn a Sock
Put an old lightbulb or glass jar into the sock so that it shows through the hole. That keeps the material supported and gives a smooth surface for your needle work.
Thread a large needle with thread similar in weight to the thing you're mending: Embroidery floss works for cotton or synthetic socks.
Use a small running stitch to circle the hole, far enough outside the damage that the fabric won't unravel later. Don't use any knots; leave the ends unsecured.
Use long stitches to stitch horizontally across the length of the hole. You will eventually weave a framework of stitches to fill in the damaged area. Sometimes it's easier if you turn the sock upside down on every other stitch.
Once your horizontal stitches are done, turn your sock sideways and start weaving your thread vertically, in and out of the horizontal stitches. Secure the vertical weave at the end of the row with a couple of small running stitches. Turn your sock the opposite way and weave again. Keep going until your hole is filled in.
Capture Wild Yeast
You don't need a package of yeast from the store to make a loaf of bread.
Mix 1/2 cup filtered or spring water (no chlorine!) with 1/2 cup of rye flour and 1/2 cup of white bread flour (using malted barley flour can also be helpful) in a glass bowl. Cover the bowl with a wet towel to let air in but keep bugs out. A warm day is optimal. Let the culture sit for 36 hours. After that, feed your culture every 12 hours by removing half of the old culture and replacing with a mixture of white and rye flour and an equal amount of 85°F water. Mark the level of the culture so you'll know how much rising has happened.
The culture should get more vigorous with each feeding. When the culture is bubbly and doubles itself in 12 hours, around Day 4, you can start feeding with only white flour and water.
After about five to seven days, a successful culture can double itself in eight hours or less, smells pleasantly sour, and is full of bubbles. That's when a "culture" becomes a "starter," and it's ready to bake with. Store as you would any commercial sourdough starter.
If your culture is slow to get going, some people suggest adding 1/4 teaspoon of unfiltered apple cider vinegar to raise the acidity, which encourages the yeast.
Save Kale Seeds
Kale is a winter green and offers more nutrients per serving than any other vegetable. In mild climates it can be a four-season crop. Once temperatures rise, older kale plants will start going to seed. Kale plants create hundreds of tiny flowers on stalks that emerge where the leaves attach to the stem. In a couple of weeks, the flower petals fall off and seed pods form on the stalks. Let the pods ripen and dry on the plant—they'll get brown and brittle—then harvest the largest pods. Remove the seeds from their pods—there will be hundreds—save them in a paper bag, and plant them in early spring.
Refrigerate Without Electricity
The pot-in-pot cooler uses the evaporative power of water to draw heat energy away from the contents. In Nigeria, where 90 percent of villages have no electricity, these pots preserve tomatoes for 21 days instead of two or three days.
In a well ventilated dry area, place a small clay pot inside a larger clay pot. Fill the space in between them with wet sand and keep it moist. Cover the top with a cloth. Store produce in the inner pot.
As the water evaporates, it pulls heat out with it, making the inside pot cold.

About Dragon Boat Festival
Kansas City International Dragon Boat Festival
Dragon Boat Festival memorializes the Chinese patriotic poet Qu Yuan.
Qu Yuan - A Patriotic Poet of Warring States Period
Living in the latter part of the Warring States Period (476 BC - 221 BC), Qu Yuan was the earliest great patriotic poet as well as a great statesman, ideologist, diplomat and reformer in ancient China. He has the reputation of being one of the world four great cultural celebrities. The traditional Chinese Dragon Boat Festival is celebrated to commemorate him. His patriotic influence has left its mark on many subsequent generations in China and beyond.
Dragon Boat Festival and Qu Yuan
Qu Yuan was a minister to the Zhou emperor during the Warring States Period (475 - 221 BC). He was a wise man who was strongly opposed to the corruption of the imperial court.
Because of Qu Yuans success, he aroused jealousy in his fellow ministers. They plotted against him and convinced the emperor that Qu Yuan was a traitor. Qu Yuan was banished, and returned to his home town.
During his years of banishment, Qu Yuan collected legends and folk tales, and wrote poetry. He never lost his patriotic love for his emperor, and was greatly concerned about the future of the Zhou dynasty.
The Death of Qu Yuan
Eventually the Qin warriors overthrew the Zhou rulers and proceeded to plunder the country. On the 5th day of May, 278 BC, Qu Yuan learned about the fall of his capital city, and in a fit of despair, committed suicide by throwing himself into the Miluo River. The townspeople, hearing of Qu Yuans fate, rushed to their boats to try to save him. Since he was much loved, they tried to prevent the fish from eating his body by throwing rice dumplings into the water. They beat drums to keep evil spirits away.
To this day, the 5th day of the 5th lunar month is celebrated by eating rice dumplings (zong zi) and racing dragon boats. It is also a day for wearing talismans to keep away evil spirits. Adults drink Xiong Huang wine, and children wear fragrant silk pouches to guard against evil.
Modern Dragon Boat Racing
In Chinese culture, Dragon boat festival has been an important holiday for centuries, but in recent years dragon boat racing has become an international sport.
Qu Yuans 71st Descendant coming to Kansas City
Qu Wanshen is the 71st descendants of Qu Yuan is come to Kansas City June 14, 2014 as a Kansas City International Dragon Boat Festival observer, its a Honor for Kansas City and our Dragon Boat Festival.

Part II
click here for part I
The Scholarship is $500=3100 Yuan. Let me tell you some details about the necessary expenses at college .You may know how much the $500 helps. The tuition in ShiDa is 3850 Yuan (the cheapest), and the accommodation is about 1200 Yuan per yea. A student may spend at least 600 Yuan per month for living. So the total expense for a student in college maybe 12000 Yuan per year. The $500 scholarship may be one fourth of the one year expense. The students in bad conditions can receive the grant from the government, 1000yuan to 3000 Yuan per year. We can also apply for loans to the bank with low rate. About 6 students in my class applied for it, including me. I applied for a total number of 20000 Yuan loan form the bank at my college. We must payback the loans within 6 years after living school. I also did some part-time job, making some money, which happened to many students in ShiDa.
In my opinion, I prefer to increase the number of scholarship to more students.
If I have the power or right to give
, I will give two students to share, not one student. I dont think $500 is a small amount of money. It is almost one fourth expense to a student for one year. As I know, it is a medium scholarship in similar scholarships in ShiDa. Students may find other ways to get money, such as applying for loans, part-time jobs. In addition, there are a lot of poor students in ShiDa. They may come from the villages, and even mountain villages. Their parents dont earn much, so they are in need of money. Let the sunlight shine more students that is my wish.
With the above information Society will maintain our Five annual scholarships, but we add two more scholarships this year in honor Lihong and KC marathon team, lets call Half Marathon/Scholarship Lihong can make the decision as two scholarships or become four Half Marathon/Scholarship.
Kansas City councilman Scott Wagner and Half marathon runner will make the scholarship Presentation.
With Bob Chiens suggestion, Shaanxi Normal University accept Wang LiHong as a member of Scholarship selection Committee member.
LiHong, Congratulation and keep dream and have faith in yourself.

The audience loved the performance and was eager to take photos with the puppets and the puppeteers.
After the Dragon boat races, a thank-you dinner was provided for the guests from Xi An, the officials from Chinese Consulate and Kansas City, and more importantly, the volunteers who worked very hard for the Festival. The dinner banquet climaxed and ended with Chinese puppet shows. What a great event for Kansas City!

"Virgula Divina" is the Latin term used to identify the Y-shaped dowsing rod, an indispensable tool for the dowser in his search for water or other hidden treasures. The art of dowsing or divination is the inspiration for the bottle opener designed by Frédéric Gooris, to which he refers both in the name and in the enigmatic shape of his concept. A perfect drawing transformed in a practical bottle opener: It has the ideal shape to grab the cap of the bottle, while the other endings are soft and natural, giving a comfortable grip. The compact size means you can carry the object with you wherever you go, making it suitable for both domestic and professional use.
Frédéric Gooris, Belgian industrial designer, born at Leuven in 1974, graduated from the Hogeschool Antwerpen in 1998. In 1999 he moves to Milan, where he obtains his Master in Design at Domus Academy. After gaining experience working for Philippe Starck and Stefano Giovannoni for 5 years, he founds Studio Gooris in Milan doing product and concept design for companies all over the globe, including Alessi, Ferrero, Target, Levis, JCPenny, Foreverlamp, Oras, EQ3, among others. In 2009 he cofounds Bombol, a company for design oriented baby furniture. In 2010 he moves to Hong Kong to open the second office of Studio gooris where he is working up to today. www.studiogooris.com

Jury finds Myles Webster guilty of attempted murder of police officer
Webster accused of shooting Manchester police officer in March
A jury has convicted New Hampshire man of attempted murder and other felonies in the near-fatal shooting of a Manchester police officer in March.
The jury found 23-year-old Myles Webster of Litchfield guilty of all five felonies charges brought against him in the March 21 shooting of Officer Dan Doherty.
The jury deliberated two hours before signaling they had reached their verdicts on Tuesday.
Webster showed no reaction as the verdicts were read.
Webster's lawyers argued that it was a case of mistaken identity. Webster did not testify.
The verdicts came after six days of testimony, during which multiple prosecution witnesses identified Webster as the man Doherty was chasing and the man who wheeled and fired multiple shots into Doherty's legs and lower torso.

The Federal Register published a notice of December 28 providing a brief overview on a behind closed doors Homeland Security Advisory Council (HSAC) meeting to be held at TSA headquarters in Arlington, Virginia, on January 9, 2012.
The HSAC was created by executive order on March 19, 2002.
"The HSAC will meet for the purpose of receiving sensitive operational information from senior DHS leadership," the notice posted on the Cryptome.org website states. "The meeting will address threats to our homeland security, border security, examine U.S. Coast Guard counterterrorism efforts; provide an operational update of the Transportation Security Administration's (TSA) Frequent Traveler Program; examine evolving threats in cyber security; and provide information on the threat of an electromagnetic pulse attack and its associated vulnerabilities."
The DHS notice explains that disclosing further details on the meeting would not be in the public interest, although it states that "there will be material presented regarding the latest viable threats against the United States, and how DHS and other Federal agencies plan to address those threats."
The DHS Office of Counterterrorism will present a briefing on the Department's implementation plan to counter domestic violent extremism. Providing this information to the public would provide terrorists with a road map regarding the Department's plan to counter their actions, and thus, allow them to take different actions to avoid counterterrorism efforts.
In April of 2009, Infowars.com posted a leaked Department of Homeland Security document warning of a rise in "right-wing extremist groups" bent on violence. According to the DHS, these "hate-oriented" groups "are mainly antigovernment, rejecting federal authority in favor of state or local authority, or rejecting government authority entirely. It may include groups and individuals that are dedicated to a single issue, such as opposition to abortion or immigration."
Related government reports issued by law enforcement in Missouri and Virginia have classified followers of Ron Paul, Chuck Baldwin and Bob Barr as potential terr....
The HSAC meeting will be held on January 9, 2012, in Arlington, Virginia, from 8:50 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. EST, at the Transportation Security Administration, 601 South 12th Street, (East Building), Arlington, VA 22202.

(Reuters) - Wall Street banks are looking to help offshore clients sidestep new U.S. rules designed to safeguard the world's $640 trillion over-the-counter derivatives market, taking advantage of an exemption that risks undermining U.S. regulators' efforts.
U.S. banks such as Morgan Stanley (MS.N) and Goldman Sachs (GS.N) have been explaining to their foreign customers that they can for now avoid the new rules, due to take effect next month, by routing trades via the banks' overseas units, according to industry sources and presentation materials obtained by Reuters.
The rules, a result of Washington's Dodd-Frank reforms, aim to prevent financial catastrophes in the over-the-counter (OTC) market - a huge, opaque market which is partly blamed for felling Lehman Bros in 2008 and fuelling a global financial crisis.
They call for U.S. banks dealing in OTC instruments, such as interest-rate swaps and cross-currency options, to effectively set aside capital against the risk of trades turning sour, execute their trades on electronic platforms and report them to U.S. authorities - requirements that worry the banks' offshore clients and threaten to drive business away from Wall Street.
OTC brokers say liquidity has already begun to suffer.
In response, Wall Street has launched a last-minute effort to show foreign counterparties how they can keep doing business together and still keep trades out of the U.S. regulatory net.
The banks' solution is to route trades via their non-U.S. affiliates - subsidiaries with their own separate balance sheets, often in London - rather than the parent banks. It is a detour that could eventually be shut down by foreign regulators, but for now offers shelter from the U.S. regulatory storm.
"What we are seeing now is a gamesmanship dance in which firms do whatever they can to avoid regulation, which is an age-old phenomenon," said Thomas Cooley, a professor of economics at New York University's Stern School of Business.
Financial industry concerns over U.S. regulation of the OTC market focus mainly on trades in swaps, among the most common and flexible financial instruments, used to hedge all kinds of financial risks from interest rates to currency movements.
Under the new rules, any entity that trades more than $8 billion a year of swaps with a "U.S. person" is required to register with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) as "swap dealers", a designation that brings with it capital and margin requirements that could drive up costs.
But the precise definition of a "U.S. person" is unclear.
A presentation given on November 16 by Morgan Stanley to its Asian commodity clients explained how they might want to consider "cutting over trading to a non-U.S. swap dealer". One slide named Morgan Stanley & Co. International Plc, a London-based subsidiary, as an example of a non-U.S. swap dealer.
Morgan Stanley spokesman Mark Lake said the presentation "was an update to clients on Dodd-Frank regulation and clearly states that it was not intended as advice or a specific recommendation from Morgan Stanley".
"While we note that one option for certain non-U.S. clients trading swaps with a U.S. swap dealer may be to switch to a non-U.S. swap dealer, we also point out that all G-20 jurisdictions are expected to adopt similar requirements to the U.S."
Goldman Sachs, too, is sending a similar message. Its bankers are meeting counterparts from regional Asian banks, assuring them they can trade with Goldman's London entity, Goldman Sachs International, and not be subject to the new rules, according to sources familiar with the matter.
Goldman declined to comment on the matter.
"What banks are looking at is: can they put their business with non-U.S. counterparties through a London entity, and will the regulators in the UK accept all the business coming through those entities?" said Mark Austen, chief executive of the Asia Securities Industry & Financial Markets Association.
Lawyers say the answer may be yes, for now - at least until foreign regulators, also mindful of avoiding another financial crisis, catch up with Washington and impose similar rules.
Gareth Old, a lawyer at Clifford Chance in New York, said the CFTC had made it clear that any swaps traded with the foreign affiliate of a U.S. bank would not count toward the $8 billion "de minimis" threshold for identifying a swap dealer.
"This is a very, very important exclusion. It means that non-U.S. financial institutions can continue to trade with at least a unit of a U.S. bank ... without running the risk of being a U.S. person," Old said.
However, lawyers say U.S. commercial banks like JPMorgan (JPM.N) and Citigroup (C.N) may find it harder to detour their clients around Dodd-Frank, noting that these banks tend to operate overseas through branches, not stand-alone affiliates.
Overseas branches of U.S. banks are expected to still be classed as a "U.S. person" under the new regulation.
It is not clear what JPMorgan and Citigroup are doing, if anything, to address the impact on their offshore clients.
Citigroup spokesman in Hong Kong, Godwin Chellam, declined to comment on the issue. JPMorgan also declined to comment.
U.S. regulators want their derivative rules to apply to offshore trades by Wall Street banks as well as domestic ones, given that bad trades outside their borders can still rebound on the parent banks, weaken their balance sheets and add to risks that may be building up across the U.S. banking system.
"Swaps executed offshore by U.S. financial institutions can send risk straight back to our shores," said CFTC chairman Gary Gensler in June. "It was true with the London and Cayman Islands affiliates of AIG, Lehman Brothers, Citigroup and Bear Stearns."
However, Wall Street faces fierce resistance to the reforms from foreign counterparties, especially those trading around the $8 billion threshold which are seen as most likely to take the "affiliate" detour offered by U.S. banks.
Several mid-sized foreign banks, including Singapore's DBS (DBSM.SI), have said they do not intend to register with U.S. regulators as swap dealers. Some banks have even stopped trading with U.S. counterparts, brokers said.
In contrast, major foreign banks such as Germany's Deutsche Bank (DBKGn.DE), whose OTC trade would dwarf the threshold, are simply too big to escape the U.S. regulatory net entirely.
The CFTC is still working on cross-border guidance on the reach of the rules, raising doubts over whether it will close the affiliate exemption or not, but it clearly hopes foreign regulators will adopt most of the Dodd-Frank reforms anyway.
Morgan Stanley itself notes that the detour strategy may be short lived in the UK and other G-20 jurisdictions, saying that they are expected to eventually adopt similar rules.
Morgan Stanley's November 16 presentation in Asia was aimed at clients trading commodity swaps, but the rules will also apply to products such as interest rate swaps and cross-currency options. Foreign exchange forwards and swaps will be exempt, largely because the U.S. Treasury felt this market had been operating well for decades with its own risk-management systems.

We start off every year with big plans to get organized, but as the days tick away, our resolutions usually fall to the wayside. It's not too late to get back on track. Here are 10 DIY projects that will reinvigorate your efforts and actually get you excited about keeping things in order.
Here's how to better organize your:
Try this DIY magnetic makeup board. Not only will it eliminate clutter on your bathroom counter, but it'll save time by making everything easily accessible. Take a piece of metal (you can even use an old cookie tray) and spray paint or cover it with fabric. Insert it into a frame and hang it on your wall. Attach magnets to the back of products or containers to hold the smaller cosmetics like lip glosses and eyeliners.
Desk drawer.
Is your desk drawer more of a junk drawer? Paperclips, pushpins, staple refills—it's all the small stuff that gets in the way of organization. Use a revolving spice rack to separate and store all the little odds and ends. Bonus Tip: If you have a hanging spice rack, put it up next to your magnetic makeup board and use it to hold nail polish.
An organized pantry means less food goes to waste. Add a riser to the back of shelves, so you have a better view of what you've got. Use a permanent marker to rewrite easy-to-read expiration dates on packaging. Stock your pantry like the grocery stores do, when you buy new cans of soup or boxes of pasta store them in the back and push the older food to the front.
Buy these standing file holders at office supply stores to create extra storage on the inside of kitchen cabinets. It will perfectly fit your foil, plastic wrap and other food storage items. You can also use them in a bathroom cabinet to store your hair curler, brushes and other styling products.
Use children's pants hangers to keep your tall boots hanging straight in your closet. If you don't have the hanging space, you can reuse your old file folders from 2013 instead of buying expensive boot shapers. Just roll them up diagonally and insert them into the boot.
Kid's closet.
An ornament box can double as a drawer organizer and slots are the perfect size to baby clothes. You can also stand it on end in the closet and use it as a shoe rack. When kids get a little older (and aren't going through five outfits a day), label a hanging sweater rack, Monday through Friday, and use it to lay out a week's worth of outfits at a time.
Cleaning supplies.
Hang an over-the-door shoe rack on your laundry room door and use it to stash all of your household cleaning supplies. Buy half-door racks if you need to keep cleaning products out of reach from little ones. Bonus tip: If you have a minivan or SUV, use over-the-door racks on your backseat to create instant trunk organization.
Clean out your bulging wallet. Punch a hole in loyalty and gift cards and store them on a keychain. Just be sure you don't punch through any numbers or bar codes that you will need. Many loyalty cards can now be added and scanned directly from your smart phone, eliminating the need to carry them at all.
Power cords.
Use bread tags to label your power cords. If you want to hide the whole tangled mess completely, try this DIY project. Place your power strip in a decorative shoebox or photo box with holes cut for all the power cords.
Gift wrap.
Turn an old bar stool upside down and attach wheels to the seat to create a rolling gift-wrapping center. Attach a shoe storage system or other cloth craft bags to a few sides of the stool. Stuff them with bows, bags, ribbons and gift tags. Drape tissue paper over the remaining rungs and then pile your rolls of wrapping paper into the center.

Whilst the American press sings the praises of Cardinal Timothy Dolan, archbishop of New York, there are many respected observers who think that Cardinal Sean P. O'Malley, the Roman Catholic archbishop of Boston, might stand a better chance of being elected pope.
John Allen, the well known Vatican correspondent for the National Catholic Reporter has noticed that interest is growing in the Italian press about Cardinal O'Malley's chances.
Traditionally the prospects of an American pope are low because of the nations power on the world stage, but according to the Boston Herald Allen is openly calling the prospect of O'Malley being picked as 'thinkable' because America is no longer the only superpower.

Journalists keep mentioning O'Malley, 68, 'partly on the strength of his profile as a reformer on the church's sexual abuse scandals, and partly because of his Capuchin simplicity as a perceived antidote to the Vatican's reputation for intrigue and power games,' Allen wrote.
'I can confirm the O'Malley buzz from personal experience. Right now, it's tough for an American journalist to walk into the Vatican Press Office without fielding questions from colleagues about him,' Allen added.
There are challenges to his selection however. 'O'Malley has zero experience in the Vatican,' and is a 'sensitive soul who occasionally has seemed to struggle under the burden of office.' A
O'Malley has also had some detractors on his handling of the sex abuse scandals, Allen noted. And another potential road block is that no one from a religious order has been pope since the 19 century - and there's never been a Capuchin, the order to which O'Malley belongs.
The Cardinal laughs at the speculation. Asked about it at a news conference last week O'Malley, who as a cardinal will travel to the Vatican to vote for the next pope, said: 'I haven't lost any sleep about it, and I have bought a round-trip ticket, so I'm counting on coming home.'
He was born June 29, 1944 in Lakewood, Ohio. He was raised in western Pennsylvania, before entering a Franciscan seminary. He holds a master's degree in religious education and a PHD in Spanish and Portuguese literature from the Catholic University of America in Washnigton.

He taught at Catholic University and founded Centro Catolico Hispano in Washington, an organization to help immigrants. He has served as bishop of Saint Thomas, Virgin Islands; Fall River, Massachusetts.; and Palm Beach, Florida. He was appointed archbishop of Boston in July 2003 and was named cardinal in 2006.
O'Malley reportedly became archbishop in the wake of the clergy sex abuse scandal, which broke under his predecessor, Bernard F. Law. A flood of lawsuits and investigations resulted but O'Malley has come to be seen as someone who could try to mend the church's reputation in Boston.
In January 2012, reflecting on the 10-year anniversary of the crisis, O'Malley said his priority was to provide outreach and care for survivors of clergy sexual abuse and to 'do everything possible to make sure this abuse never happens again.'

As far as we can tell, the new GT500KR Mustang KITT still lacks any kind of turbo boost. But now you can still enjoy a little bit of the old Knight Rider turbo in the form of a remote control car. Forget the Mustang—let's return to the Golden Age with the Pontiac Trans-Am KITT remote-control car from Firebox. You'll be the coolest kid in the neighborhood. Your dad will be able to beat up other dads. But not The Hoff, or course.
This R/C car features the famoous KITT strobing lights and is capable of going forward, backward—and using its turbo boost! It makes whooshing sounds and yes, it will even talk to you. No word on whether archived Hasselhoff chest hair is also included. The original Knight Rider KITT remote-control car is available for a relatively modest outlay of $50. [Firebox via Gearlog]

Our cheese- and beer-lover's potato soup has only a fraction of the fat and sodium of a traditional recipe. We use low-fat milk and only a little oil and keep the flavor strong with zesty, sharp Cheddar cheese. Precooked diced potatoes, which you can get at many supermarkets, keep this recipe super speedy. Regular diced red potatoes also work—you'll just need to increase the cooking time.

I've been doing this long enough that articles like this one from Consumer Reports don't surprise me anymore.
The number of deaths from preventable medical errors is astonishing. That's why we do what we do. Quite frankly, we all want better medical care in this country. One small way to go about it is by holding physicians responsible for their medical malpractice. Hopefully the number of people killed will start to drop.

Natural light spills in from French doors in this gray, transitional master bedroom with vaulted ceilings. Framed art hangs above the small seating area with a table and two cushioned armchairs, opposite the wall-mounted TV across from the bed.
Transitional Gray Master Bedroom
A gray paneled accent wall provides sophistication in this serene master bedroom with a brass chandelier overhead. Matching nightstands with table lamps flank the large white bed with a studded fabric headboard.
Sophisticated Master Bedroom Retreat
This serene and sophisticated master bedroom is the perfect retreat, with a subdued gray palette to accentuate the natural light spilling in from the French doors to the courtyard. A brass chandelier hangs above two cushioned armchairs and a side table with framed art.
Transitional Open Plan Kitchen With Black Barstools
A bank of upper cabinets used to sit above this kitchen's peninsula, closing off the room from the adjacent living and dining area. Removing them gives the kitchen a whole new open feel, much better for entertaining.
Blue Cottage Kitchen With Cooktop
In this kitchen, the hand-painted tile backsplash's delicate pattern is a graceful companion to the white upper cabinets and a handsome foil to the honeyed tones of the range hood and lower cabinets.
Modern Kitchen With Counter-To-Ceiling Tile Backsplash
This elegant white and gray kitchen showcases modern design, from the decorative tile backsplash that runs from the marble countertops to the ceiling. A stainless steel range and oven is flanked by classic white cabinets with nickel hardware.
Modern White Kitchen With Vaulted Ceilings
This crisp, white kitchen with modern elegance features four globed pendant lights that hang from the beautifully vaulted ceilings. A marble kitchen island with three contemporary bar chairs face the decorative tile backsplash that runs from the marble countertop to the ceiling.
Traditional Kitchen With Blue Backsplash
Designers kept this kitchen's handsome traditional roots and well-planned flow, but gave it a few key updates. The charming blue backsplash is made of hand-painted terracotta and ceramic tile. Countertops are quartz with a concrete lookalike finish.
Calm Cream-Colored Bedroom Feels Like Serene Retreat
Warm cream and gray tones in this bedroom create a calm, serene retreat while the velvet upholstered stools and fur throw add a soft, textural touch. The upholstered headboard adds to the luxurious feel while the cream area rug adds warmth and texture to the bedroom.
Tone-on-Tone Area Rugs
Staying neutral with an area rug doesn't mean you have to pay big money for an 8x10 rectangle of blah. Consider a tone-on-tone stripe or a chic graphic pattern that adds interest without stealing the show.
Master Suite Layout
The master suite enjoys great flow, with the master bath located between the bedroom and a generously-sized walk-in master closet with well-designed storage options.
Feminine Bedroom Mixes Colors and Patterns
A mint and gray floral wallpaper is the backdrop for this pretty, feminine bedroom. Soft hues allow several patterns to blend rather than clash, and the luxe sheen of the gray bedding adds even more visual impact.
Modern Bedroom With Multicolored Polka Dot Wallpaper
In this eclectic bedroom, a padded sage green headboard compliments the green and white striped bed linens. A variety of decorative pillows help tie in the bright orange comforter, while multicolored polka dot wallpaper finishes off the funky modern look of the space.
Modern Kitchen With Bold Blue Backsplash
The bold, blue and white backsplash is the focal point in this modern kitchen. A chef's oven with stainless steel hood range is flanked by white cabinets with brass hardware, complimented by a brass-toned faucet at the quartz kitchen island with a farmhouse sink.
Contemporary Kitchen With Farmhouse Sink And Brick Backsplash
The rustic brick backsplash adds texture and warmth to this contemporary kitchen with white farmhouse sink, chrome gooseneck faucet, white cabinets and trim, and gray countertops.
Timeless Cottage Kitchen From Sarah Sees Potential
As seen on season 1 of Sarah Sees Potential, designer Sarah Richardson transformed this once dark and cramped kitchen into a bright, contemporary space that fits the needs of a growing family of three. New stainless steel appliances and pops of light turquoise and green paint give the cozy white kitchen a contemporary, timeless look.
Country Wood Dining Set Adjacent to Contemporary Kitchen
Gray concrete flooring provides a smooth connection for the rooms in this open floor plan. From the contemporary kitchen, a large opening leads to the dining space. A wood table with matching chairs, floral roman shades and blue walls decorate the room with a country style.
Gray Master Bathroom With Glass Walk-In Shower
Wood paneling warms up this luxurious glass and marble walk-in shower, part of a spacious master suite. A tall wood dresser provides elegant storage in the corner.
