Original recipe yields 10 (1 pint) jars
- Place beets in a large stockpot with water to cover. Bring to a boil, and cook until tender, about 15 minutes depending on the size of the beets. If beets are large, cut them into quarters. Drain, reserving 2 cups of the beet water, cool and peel.
- Sterilize jars and lids by immersing in boiling water for at least 10 minutes. Fill each jar with beets and add several whole cloves to each jar.
- In a large saucepan, combine the sugar, beet water, vinegar, and pickling salt. Bring to a rapid boil. Pour the hot brine over the beets in the jars, and seal lids.
- Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then carefully lower the jars into the pot using a holder. Leave a 2 inch space between the jars. Pour in more boiling water if necessary until the water level is at least 1 inch above the tops of the jars. Bring the water to a full boil, cover the pot, and process for 10 minutes.

Beets were great. I've made them several times. The only change I made was to add some sliced red onion.
Needs more spices. I added cinnamon, ground the cloves and added them both to the hot brine. I also added sliced onions to the beets in the jars.
We made this recipe and it turned out great. Very easy recipe to follow. The beets are delicious. Thanks!

I've made this pie a few times now, my friends and family love it! They could've never guessed what was in it, it tastes a lot like pumpkin pie. I do cut the sugar back to 1 1/2cup and its still plenty sweet. I also add 1tsp of pumpkin pie spice to the mixture while its proccessing instead of the nutmeg.
WOW! I too have a household of zucchiniphobes! My family(& I) loved this recipe. I baked it a little longer as the knife never DID come out clean but took it out of the oven after 1.5 hrs to prevent the crust from burning. The pie set lovely as it cooled on the counter & though my family preferred to call it "Harvest Pie" rather that the "Z" word I am planning to make this again for Thanksgiving.. zucchini is very easy to grow & versatile in the kitchen. Bon Apetit!
This was very good. I baked it for 1 hr and 10 minutes. There was enough filling for 2 pies. I don't know how you would fit this all in 1 9'' pie crust. Also I only had 1 1/2c of condensed milk so I used 1/2 c of whole milk and didn't notice a differerence. Thanks for another good zucchini recipe.

Confusion over football star's hoax girlfriendIn a little more than three months, Manti Te'o probably will be drafted by an NFL team and sign a multimillion dollar deal.Before teams sink that much money into players, they have questions.With the revelation that the football feel-good story of the year centered on the Notre Dame linebacker's love for a woman who never existed, many people have questions for Te'o -- a lot of questions.And as each question in the saga gets answered -- none publicly by Te'o --- it seems another one, or two, or three, crop up.
For instance, why did Te'o tell reporters before the Heisman Trophy presentation on December 8 that he "lost both my grandparents and my girlfriend to cancer," when two days earlier the woman he thought was dead called him on his cellphone?Why did he tell a Sports Illustrated reporter in October that Kekua came to one of his games then issue a statement this week that he never met her?Who is now behind the one of the Twitter accounts associated with Lennay Kekua, a woman who apparently never lived, let alone died, in September before Te'o, who called her his girlfriend, played one of the biggest games of the young season?A tweet Thursday purportedly from the fictional girlfriend promised she would have a big announcement that would help sort out details of the story, but the tweet was merely a joke about Te'o.Two other tweets on the page were retweets from the verified account of Te'o."@LennayKay I miss you!" a November 6 tweet from Te'o said.On September 12, Te'o tweeted "@LennayKay you will always be with me wherever I go!"It was unclear Thursday whether the person Te'o tweeted to in September used it again after reports broke of a hoax or whether someone created a new account with the same user name.The airing of the bizarre story began Wednesday, when sports website Deadspin published a piece dismissing as a hoax the existence of Te'o's girlfriend -- the one who he said died around the same time as his grandmother while his team marched toward the BCS National Championship Game.Then Wednesday, the university held a news conference saying Te'o was the victim of a "elaborate hoax." And Te'o, the Heisman Trophy runner-up, released a statement saying he was embarrassed that he was the victim of a "sick joke."The bizarre developments left many wondering if they, instead of Te'o, were led on.
He was confused, to much wine at communiuon.

Found November 10, 2012 on Fox Sports North:
PLAYERS: Chase Budinger, Dante Cunningham, Taj Gibson, Luke Ridnour, Kevin Love, Brandon Roy, Ricky Rubio, Rick Adelman
TEAMS: Minnesota Timberwolves
TEAMS: Minnesota Timberwolves
CHICAGO After the Timberwolves' 87-80 loss to the Bulls Saturday, the team announced that Chase Budinger suffered a twisted left knee and that his X-rays were normal. He will be evaluated further when the team arrives in Dallas Sunday.The injury occurred with 6 minutesremaining in the game and the Timberwolves down, 78-70. Dante Cunningham shot a jumper, which Taj Gibson blocked. The Timberwolves got the offensive rebound, and the physical play that had characterized the second half resumed.But this time, it might have gone too far. Budinger sprawled out of the scrum, away from the basket and toward the sideline, and when he tried to get up, he couldn't. Luke Ridnour tried to help, but Budinger's left leg was not weight-bearing, and he was eventually helped off the court by head athletic trainer Gregg Farnam and Will Conroy.There was no consensus among players and coaches in the locker room as to the specifics of what happened, other than that Budinger was shoved from behind. After the game, he was on crutches with an ice bag strapped to his left knee as he entered the shower."It sucks," Budinger told NBA.com. "The injuries are tough. It's frustrating because I've never had a knee problem like this. So getting all these questions about it, I don't really know how to respond to them. I've never had it before. So we'll just wait till tomorrow, see what the MRI says."He added that the injury stemmed from the fact that his foot got caught when he fell, wrenching his knee into a twisted position.Budinger's injury is the fourth that the Timberwolves have sustained since the beginning of the preseason; first, there was Kevin Love's broken hand, then J.J. Barea's sprained foot, then Brandon Roy's sore knee and now Budinger's yet undetermined knee injury. And that's all after Ricky Rubio's torn ACL last March.At this point, it would be hard not tobe frustrated, and Rick Adelman was just that after the game."I have no idea," he said. "I really don't." That was almost all there was to say short of blaming curses or luck or general hatred by some deity. "I don't understand it. I don't know. I thought maybe it was just Minnesota, but it was on the road, too."And then he laughed, the laugh of a coach given a team that should win, that has been winning in spite of everything, but that was just dealt yet another blow. Every night, it seems, the team is tempting fate, and with every injury, it's so easy to say that this might be the one that breaks the whole thing.There's no way that wasn't going through everyone's minds in the Timberwolves locker room and on their flight to Dallas. When you've been playing like they've been playing under the circumstances, there's of course a certain pride, a certain belief that winning is possible. But there also must be the sense of how fleeting all this is, a sense of helplessness. Like Adelman said after the game, it's not as if the league is going to give them a reprieve.And so now the Timberwolves must pick up the pieces. They did, to some extent, on Saturday, never quite giving up after Budinger's injury. It was heartening to see, but not enough, and now, the waiting begins.Now, they wait to learn how long Roy might be out. They wait to hear if Barea will be joining them in Dallas. They wait to find out what exactly is going on with the latest bad knee, Budinger's, and for Rubio to take his next step. They wait for Love to go to the doctor and get a better timetable for his hand. They wait, but they also must play.It's time to see what kind of magic, if any, Adelman can drum up this time.Follow Joan Niesen on Twitter.

Two Malibu groups have filed a lawsuit seeking to prevent the installation of 70-foot lights at 's athletic field.
The Malibu Community Preservation Alliance and the Malibu Township Council filed the lawsuit on Wednesday, July 25.
In response to the filing, Malibu City Attorney Christi Hogin said the city stands by its decision to approve the lights.
"We're disappointed that this has come to litigation, but we are prepared to defend the city's decision," Hogin said.
On June 26, the Malibu City Council granted a coastal development permit and a temporary use permit for the construction of the lights, which will only be allowed for a . The council also required the school district to take down 12-foot cross bars on the lights from June 1 through August 31.
The lawsuit alleges that the Malibu City Council abandoned a compromise reached between residents and the school district in 2010 to allow temporary lighting for 16 nights out of the year.
"This will light up all of west Malibu like a professional stadium," said Steve Uhring, a member of the . "It is an egregious violation of the compromise that the community worked so hard to achieve with the district."
According to Hogin, the council only put in place the maximum number of nights the lights can be used.
"The city is setting the limit. If there is a compromise to be had, nothing would stand in the way of those parties reaching that agreement," Hogin said.
The groups also claim the Malibu City Council violated the city's Local Coastal Program and Municipal Code when it took the proposed lights under consideration in June without a public hearing before the Malibu Planning Commission. The council voted on the project because of conflicts by three Malibu planning commissioners.
Commissioner Mikke Pierson and Roohi Stack donated to The Shark Fund, which was set up by a group of parents to benefit projects at Malibu High School, including the lights project. Commissioner Jeffrey Jennings lives within 500 feet of the campus.
The lawsuit claims that even though there were not enough commissioners to create a quorum, California law allows under the rule of necessity to select one of the members to proceed.
In addition, the groups allege that the City of Malibu did not adequately take into account the full impact of the 70-foot lights.
"Due to the rural nature of the surrounding community and the absence of streetlights, lighting levels in the vicinity of the school campus are substantially less than are typical in residential areas. As a result, the introduction of high intensity stadium lighting on the school campus will directly and uniquely impact the surrounding community," the lawsuit states.
Hogin said the city took special care to lessen the impact of the lights.
"The council imposed some pretty strict conditions in order to mitigate the impact. The requirement that the light standards come off the pole during the months that the field should not be in use at night is an important condition. That really does create a relatively unobstructed view during the summer months," Hogin said.
Malibu Patch will have more on this story soon.

State says German waste won't require any special changes at Oak Ridge processing plant
The Tennessee Dept. of Environment and Conservation today reiterated that the decision on whether or not to allow EnergySolutions to bring Germany's radioactive waste to Tennessee for treatment was up the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, not the state. The NRC this week approved the import/export licenses for EnergySolutions, which plans to bring up to 1,000 tons of German low-level radioactive waste to Oak Ridge for incineration at the company's Bear Creek processing plant. The ashes from incineration and other leftovers would be shipped back to Germany.
"From the state's perspective, EnergySolutions is required to follow the requirements of its licenses, no matter where the waste originates from," TDEC spokeswoman Tisha Caalabrese-Benton said in an email response to questions. "The German waste would not require any changes to the state license or other special considerations at the state level."
If the EnergySolutions' facility has the necessary permits to burn the kind of waste being proposed for treatment, then it doesn't matter if it comes from a foreign source, she said. That decision on whether to allow the importation of waste is up to NRC, she emphasized.

Inside reports indicate 911 recordings had Madjlessi's family expressing concern to operators that…Read Moreh e had taken substantial quantities of pain killer and other drugs just hours prior to his disappearance suggesting a suicide risk. There were also reports of Life Insurance policies taken out days if not weeks prior to his death creating underlying suspicion. Suicide clauses are typically 2 years on new insurance policies and would nullify newly underwritten insurance. A bias would have been for death to be ruled accidental so as not to undermine insurance claims. But with a history of insurance fraud in Madjlessi's business dealings one can only have suspicion anyway, in my opinion.

Publish Date: September 10, 2010 Word Count: 567 Document ID: 1322BE09A04CB510 Customers and shareholders of Sonoma Valley Bank who were shocked, surprised and angered by the bank's closure on Aug. 20, will not be comforted by the fact that even one of the most knowledgeable and experienced experts on the regulation of financial institutions, Gary Findley, editor of the Findley Reports, shared their feelings. Findley, in his September banking newsletter, made these comments, "This is definitely a rush to judgment by the FDIC and the CDFI played right into it. ..." If anyone pays this fish wrap to read it here is the story. But untold by Mr. Lynch is that after a Board meeting with Mr. Findley prior to Madjlessi becoming a loan customer Sonoma Valley Bank decided to change their loan executive pay structure to one that incentivized reckless underwriting in order to grow the loan portfolio and entice a buyer to pay a high price for the bank. This played out somewhat publicly as it was reported when objecting SVB Board members found that when afterward a decision to "reduce" the amount of directors cut them out of the picture.

If Darius can get an audience with Pope John Paul II, who is now a Saint, what chance does SDC…Read Morehave? He may get a Papal favor but he may not escape the New Mexico Law as he couldn't in New York. That case and major decision is expected this year. "Khinda was particularly harsh on Valdes. His "apparent desire for free dinners and similar gifts ... was known to many outside of CalPERS," Khinda said. This fueled a perception that gift-giving was essential to getting CalPERS business. CalPERS suspended him from traveling for the pension fund because of sloppy record keeping. But Valdes, who filed for bankruptcy protection twice in the 1990s, remained head of the investment committee from 2005 to 2007, which Khinda called "remarkable." Khinda said another placement agent -- not Villalobos -- offered to get Valdes an audience with the pope at the Vatican. The report doesn't identify the agent, but a source said it was longtime Sacramento lobbyist Darius Anderson, who last year agreed to pay a $500,000 fine to settle an investigation into his work obtaining investment deals from CalPERS and its New York counterpart. Anderson did not admit or deny wrongdoing in that case, and wasn't charged with anything. Khinda's report said it wasn't clear if Valdes ever got to see the pope. A spokesman for Anderson couldn't be reached. ------ Call The Bee's Dale Kasler, (916) 321-1066. To see more of The Sacramento Bee, or to subscribe to the newspaper, go to http://www.sacbee.com/.

For the Daily Telegraph
Wyoming County —
A Brenton woman was killed when she interrupted a robbery in her home Tuesday evening, according to Wyoming County Sheriff Randall Aliff.
Elaine Birchfield, 60, who lived alone on Shannon/Mill Creek Road, was found dead in her home, Aliff said.
John New, 20, of Briar Creek, is charged with first degree murder, grand larceny in connection with the theft of the victim's truck and daytime burglary.
"He has confessed," Aliff said Wednesday morning. "Robbery was the motive for him entering the house."
Authorities were notified just after 6 p.m. Tuesday and began processing the scene as a homicide investigation, according to the sheriff.
Additionally, officers began talking to witnesses.
With the victim's truck missing from the residence, an "All Points Bulletin" was issued for the vehicle.
As law enforcement officials continued the investigation at the victim's residence in Wyoming County, officers from the Gilbert Police Department in Mingo County spotted the truck described in the APB a few hours later, Aliff said.
They stopped the truck and arrested the suspect, the sheriff noted.
"At this time, drugs do not appear to be a factor," Aliff said.
It also doesn't appear that New and Birchfield knew each other, the sheriff added.
No other details will be made public yet, Aliff said.
New was to be arraigned later Wednesday.
The investigation is continuing.

James Marshall Crotty, Contributor
I cover education as a sector and as the bedrock of all sectors.
Many people presume that those who drop out of school must be desultory losers, right? Not so, according to Marta Zaraska, who reported in her April 2 Washington Post article, "Too Much Happiness Can Make You Unhappy," that "excessive joy, or having lots of positive emotions and a relative absence of negative ones … may hamper your career prospects."
According to Zaraska, "Psychologist Edward Diener … and his colleagues analyzed a variety of studies … and discovered that those who early in their lives reported the highest life satisfaction … years later reported lower income than those who felt slightly less merry when young. What's more, they dropped out of school earlier. Included in the studies was one involving a group of American college freshmen that in 1976 claimed to be very cheerful. Surveyed again when they were in their late 30s, they earned, on average, almost $3,500 a year less than their slightly less cheerful peers. Why? Diener suggests that people who don't experience much sadness or anxiety are rarely dissatisfied with their jobs and therefore feel less pressure to get more education or change careers."
Annoying neurotics everywhere are nodding their heads in agreement. Or, as former Intel CEO Andy Grove wrote, Only the Paranoid Survive.
I decided to look deeper into the findings of Dr. Diener, a.k.a. "Dr. Happiness," who is, fittingly, the Joseph R. Smiley Distinguished Professor of Psychology at the University of Illinois. For instance, a 2002 study Diener conducted with Martin Seligman found that, "the most salient characteristics shared by the 10% of students with the highest levels of happiness and the fewest signs of depression were their strong ties to friends and family and commitment to spending time with them."
Note to self: spend less time writing Forbes column in seclusion, more time with friends and family. Warning to friends and family: expect manic burst of Crotty social engagement in coming months.
For my money, however, Diener's most notable contribution has been to debunk common happiness myths. Regardless of standard of living or cultural or racial homogeneity, Diener found that "collectivist" nations were far happier than "individualist" nations like the U.S. because collectivist nations were more willing to make do with what they had. Those who relentlessly pursue individual excellence or perfection are not as happy, noted Diener.
Moreover, Diener discovered that, after one's basic needs are met, wealth does not increase happiness either. Ditto for youth, marriage, sunlight, religion, and even pleasure in all its incarnations.
Most germane to this column, however, Diener found that neither a high IQ nor higher education correlate with high rates of happiness.
Ever the contrarian, I naturally posited alternate causalities. First, perhaps extra happy students see the futility in conventional schooling and are, thus, more likely to drop out to pursue their own dreams. Famous college dropouts, such as Microsoft's Bill Gates and Apple's Steve Jobs, come to mind. Or perhaps extra happy students are unwilling to bow to educational authority or to the allegedly oppressive nature of public schooling, as noted by Crotty guest columnist Cevin Soling in "Santorum And Harvard Anarchist Agree: Public Schools Must Be Abolished."
Moreover, there is an inherent conundrum presented by Diener and his "positive psychology" compatriots: how do we square this country's crying need for highly educated workers with research about not only what makes people happy but with what very happy people empirically prefer to do?
I presented the conundrum to Dr. Diener himself, who generously replied, "It is important to note that happier people in general do better than unhappy people — in health, successful outcomes, and especially social relationships. Unhappy people do not do as well. So, what the studies are primarily comparing is the very happy to the happy and slightly happy. We find that the very happy tend to be champions of the social world — very outgoing. In our studies, the happiest people on average did slightly worse in college, but did well in terms of income out in the business world. Social skills are important in the business world, even very important. The slightly happy and happy can sometimes achieve more in certain realms, such as academic success in college, because they are moderately social, not super-social. However, we don't want people to think the unhappy or depressed do fine. They usually do significantly worse on average. And the toll on health is considerable. We just want people to know that if you are moderately happy, that may be good enough. You don't have to be super-happy to do well in life."
Feeling happy or sad is for the children. More important is to have goals , purpose and discovering your needs as a human being. There is the problem most people don't know there basic needs. Were all intellectual entities that need some form of intellectual pleasure and stimulation to avoid the enemy of the mind which is boredom . Our minds need to have fun and enjoyment through work, recreation, entertainment ,education etc. Most important of all we need to find psychological happiness through each other.
Its very simple if you don't give your body what it needs it gets sick, same thing with your mind. If you don't give it what it needs your mind will get sick. The right job, friends , hobbies , goals etc.
I take it you're not that satisfied with your life.
What, we are supposed to become robots when we grow up? Never be happy or sad? Having more self-control than children is important, and having purpose etc. is too. But we are human too.
I have something better. I have a road map to it. Give a man a fish
make him happy for the day, teach him how to fish….
I'm glad your happy in your world. Do you know that reality is just a perception in your brain? You have created an artificial world for the purpose of being in control. The feeling of knowing it all is what you seek, to cover up what I am not sure(only your subconscious knows). All I actually ask of you, before you return to your world, is to look up the theme of the phrases you use. If you had wisdom to spread you would be able to explain it. After all "that which can't be simply explained is not thoroughly understood."
aww yeah 33 points baby! woo!
More education? I'm there, too: 52 and pursuing a Ph.D. Happy? I'd say I'm largely satisfied with where I am in my life. I think happiness is a by-product, not an end goal, and satisfaction with one's accomplishments and experiences in life can lead to… happiness. I think that's implicit in Crotty's questionnaire. But there are world views that can disrupt that connection, that suppress satisfaction by insisting that there is another, higher peak to climb, no time to pause and experience that sense of satisfaction in today's job well done.
Is there a relationship between education and happiness? I'd say that more education can expose one to more about which to be unhappy, but can also empower one to make a difference and experience satisfaction from one's contribution. It's been long said that ignorance is bliss… and if your ambitions are more modest, that sense of satisfaction is more easily achieved.
"Included in the studies was one involving a group of American college freshmen that in 1976 claimed to be very cheerful. Surveyed again when they were in their late 30s, they earned, on average, almost $3,500 a year less than their slightly less cheerful peers. Why? Diener suggests that people who don't experience much sadness or anxiety are rarely dissatisfied with their jobs and therefore feel less pressure to get more education or change careers."
I wouldn't have jumped to that conclusion so fast. People with high-paying careers usually majored in something difficult/stressful, and I'd bet that college freshman with difficult/stressful majors report being less cheerful than freshman that are less stressed. I'd like to see the data for that study.
I agree with this article wholeheartedly. As an undergraduate, I was miserable. I had no friends and the administration seemed bent on preventing me from climbing the ladder. Granted, I was attending a small state college in Southeastern Georgia, where your grades were based largely upon whether or not the professor liked you. However, the righteous indignation was a driving force. My GPA was pure crap when I graduated, but a high verbal score on the GRE kept me in the game.
Now I am enrolled in a medium-sized university's graduate program, currently about to finish my second semester. Last semester saw more of the same, though to a lesser degree, as one of my professors gave me a B simply because I didn't say what he wanted me to say. I was furious, of course, but I was not going to allow him to derail me. People like this man only motivate me.
As for my second semester, I have found favor with my program director, my department head, and all three of my professors, but ninety percent of my colleagues cannot stand me (and they make it very obvious). They seem to think that a guy "like me" doesn't belong in this tier of Academia, so my social life is virtually nil. Furthermore, the town that I live in is full of kids who could care less about education. With 19,000 undergraduates and only 1,200 graduates, people who give a damn are largely outnumbered and basically forced to retreat to their abode and study in silence.
Suffice to say, I am pissed off most days. However, this is also an exciting experience for that reason. If it weren't for opposition and rejection, I don't believe that I would have cared to continue. Furthermore, the undeserved B that mars my report card has not discouraged me in the least. It's all about conference papers at this level, just like my GRE score getting me in to the program in the first place.
In summation, were it not for the wild dissatisfaction with the untermensch and the Philistines that I brush elbows with on a daily basis, I would not be motivated to succeed. I would have gotten some stupid job after my undergrad just like the kids whose grades were much higher than my own.
you should've followed your professor's home and beat the shit out of them.

Home - Songbird Superhighway – Spring 2011
One of the key undertakings for the Network is bird banding, an effort in which Leppold plays an important role. This spring, Leppold will head back to Metinic Island for the beginning of her fourth overall migration season there. She will spend hundreds of hours banding birds, taking measurements, counting birds by hand, and performing the release tests.
Leppold's job is to gain an understanding of the types of birds landing on Metinic, why they're there and the condition they're in when they arrive. Other network banding stations have been set up at Petit Manan and Seal islands and Petit Manan Point. UMaine biologist Brian Olsen has three banding stations in Acadia National Park under his purview, including two operated by UMaine graduate students.
During the fall 2009 season, more than 3,000 birds were captured at Metinic, Seal, and Petit Manan islands. Holberton says, taking into consideration statistics such as the number of nets and people available to monitor the nets and handle birds, the amount of migrants captured per net hour were almost double at Metinic compared to the other two islands. Metinic was equally as busy during the fall 2010 season and the intensity of birds captured there far exceeds that of other stations, including Manomet Bird Observatory, a long-term and much more expansive operation in Massachusetts.
In order to band birds, workers set up mist nets between two poles several dozen feet across. Birds fly into the nets and are collected by banders, who process each bird by taking measurements and affixing a specially sized and individually numbered U.S. Geological Survey aluminum band to one of the bird's legs. The bird is released into the wild ideally no more than 30 minutes after it's been caught. If workers are overrun with birds, as happened occasionally on Metinic, they will close the nets so no more birds are caught.
After a bird has been banded, the bander determines the sex and attempts to age the bird, and measures the wing and tarsus on the bird's foot in order to get an idea of its body size. An important step for Holberton's research is approximating the amount of subcutaneous fat on the bird. The researchers can use the fat amounts, as seen through the skin in the bird's neck region, and body weight to get an idea of the bird's energetic condition.
If a bird has more fat on its body than normal, taking into account its mass, researchers can extrapolate that the bird is in good energetic condition and is piling on weight to prepare for long migration flights. If a bird is lacking in fat, it may be at the end of a migration or has been unable to put on enough weight for a long trip. The better energetic condition, the longer a bird can go in the air, which means taking shorter routes by cutting across bodies of water where there are few opportunities to land. The reverse is also true: Birds in poor condition will tend to move inland, where there may be more opportunities to stop, but there may also be a greater danger posed by predators and longer distances to cover.
To describe three different types of stops migrating birds tend to make, Holberton uses terminology known in bird biology circles. Some landing spots are known as fire escapes — places where birds stop for a few hours to get a quick rest or reorient themselves after having been blown off course, but aren't suitable for long stays because of lack of food or shelter from predators. Then there are the so-called convenience stores, which have easily accessible resources for birds. Here they can rest briefly for a day or two before moving on to better sites, maintaining or improving their condition and increasing the odds of reaching their destinations. The third type of spot is the five-star hotel, a place where birds can stop for a week at a time to rest, feed and fatten in order to make long pushes on their migratory travels.
So far, Holberton and her researchers have determined that Petit Manan and Seal islands are more in the life preserver category, offering critical places to rest, while Metinic falls into the convenience store analogy, where a bird can improve its condition and therefore increase its chances of reaching its destination. Both of these are vital links along migratory flyways. Fortunately, there are also five-star hotels in the Gulf of Maine, too, and all of these areas are regarded as critical habitats for migratory birds.
Where in the gulf those places are located is one of the big pieces of Network researchers' work. When hot spots such as Metinic have been plotted, scientists will know which areas and the flyways connecting them should be protected from development or coastal wind turbines.
"That's really what drove the formation of the network," Holberton says. "Energetic condition is really important to know. There are a lot of birds in these areas but we don't really know who they are, how many there are, where they're coming from, where they're going, and why. We need to figure out the location of the important stopover areas."

"A great improvement over the Geno/Grinder 2000 model in terms of durability."
The SPEX SamplePrep Model 2000 Geno/Grinder is a new laboratory mill specifically designed for vigorous up-and-down shaking of deep-well titer plates.
It is typically used to prepare tissue for extractions of nucleic acid, protein, and other constituents by shaking the tissue, steel balls, and a buffering agent together in each well of the titer plate. The Geno/Grinder measures less than two cubic feet and weighs 110 pounds. It meets all European CE Directives and is available in either 115V/60Hz or 230V/50Hz models. The operator can precisely adjust the stroke rate of the sample clamp mech-anism anywhere from 500 to 2000 up-and-down cycles per minute. The Geno/Grinder is specifically designed for shaking titer plates, and has many advantages over conventional mills and paint shakers "adapted" for this purpose.
Key features include:
- Prepares plant material such as seeds, stems, roots, leaves, and certain animal tissue.
- Handles two standard deep-well titer plates (5 in. long x 3 in. wide x 2 in. high).
- A digital timer displays both the full timer setting along with the minutes and seconds remaining in the grinding cycle.
- An adjustable dial allows the operator to set the precise vertical grinding speed between 500 and 2000 strokes per minute.
- Two safety interlocks, a lockdown latch and a pneumatic cylinder stabilize the lid for safe operation.
- Isolation of nucleic acids (DNA/RNA), proteins, enzymes and yeast.
- Used in high-throughput laboratory screening facilities.
- Elimination of cross-contamination.

What is the Creative Challenge Project?
Every two months we host a Creative Challenge for kids where we invite you to invite your child to create with a common material . The objective of these challenges is to enable children to explore a material's potential, build creative confidence, encourage invention, and envision new purposes for common objects…. skills that are at the heart of innovation.
If you're interested in joining one of the past challenges (see below), you can enter your project at any time. Some of the challenges have link parties that you can add blog posts to, and all of them enable you to upload photos along with your comment. Please keep in mind that projects should be child-directed, but grown-ups are welcome to join in the fun if the mood strikes!
These materials could be turned into a piece of art, an experiment, an object…the possibilities are endless!
Will you join the next Creative Challenge?
If you'd like to join one of the upcoming challenges, plan to come back on the posted date (the next challenge will run from April 1-30, 2014) with a link to your post or documentation of your kid/s in action. If you're a blogger, write a blog post to go live on April 1, and then head over here to add a link on TinkerLab.
Should I join? Is this for me?
You might be wondering if this is worth your time. Well, here are some of the reasons to join in…
- Your child will most likely enjoy the process of designing his or her own project, and self-directed projects encourage confidence and critical thinking skills.
- You'll enjoy sharing with all the other Creative Challenge participants. It's really fun to see how people interpret the same materials in different ways.
- We will start a new Pinterest board for this challenge and all entries will be shared there.
- If you're a blogger, you'll probably enjoy a boost in traffic.
Okay, I'm in! What do I need to do?
- Gather your materials
- Talk to your child about his or her plan
- The project should be child-led, although adults are quite welcome to join in
- Run the project

By Keith Eddings email@example.com
The Eagle-Tribune
---- — LAWRENCE — Mayor William Lantigua violated state law when he bypassed the City Council to make what he called an emergency appointment to the Licensing Board, the city attorney said in an opinion that also said the votes the appointee cast at a recent meeting are no good.
City Attorney Charles Boddy's opinion could reduce the three-member board to a single member, making it impossible for it to act, and suggests that any of the 14 bars, bodegas, car dealerships, rooming houses and package stores that received approvals at the board's Sept. 26 meeting have been operating without licenses.
The opinion also extends the showdown between the mayor and the council over the vacancies on the board, which was reduced to two members when Thomas Murphy stepped down Jan. 1, and then to one when Richard Fielding died Sept. 9.
The remaining board member is the mayor's ex-wife, Mayra Lantigua.
Boddy did not return a phone call seeking to learn what force his memo would have, including if the emergency appointee, Alfonso Garcia, attends the next meeting Oct. 24 and attempts to vote.
Garcia and Mayra Lantigua also did not return phone calls yesterday.
But City Councilor Eileen Bernal, who has led the charge against Garcia's appointment since the mayor made it Sept. 26, said Boddy told her Garcia won't be seated at the next meeting.
"I asked, 'What happens if he shows up?' " Bernal said about her conversation with Boddy after she received his memo Tuesday. "He said, 'This will not happen. It's not a valid appointment. You don't have to worry about that.' "
Unless Mayor Lantigua makes at least one nomination to the board in time for the City Council to approve it, the board could be unable to conduct business at its Oct. 24 meeting. The council has one meeting before then, on Tuesday, which would mean it may not have time to refer any nominee it receives by then to its personnel committee for review.
Boddy's memo said Garcia's appointment is invalid because the Licensing Board is a state agency – even though its members are appointed by towns and cities – and so the appointment process has to follow state law. State law does not allow for emergency appointments to state boards.
Although Lawrence's City Charter allows emergency appointments, Boddy said the charter governs appointments to city boards and departments only.
"The Licensing Board is not a city department, it is a state office, and therefore the appointment procedures of (the City Charter) are inapplicable," Boddy said in his memo to the council and the mayor.
Although the Licensing Board has been down at least one member since Jan. 1 – and Murphy announced months in advance that he would be stepping down – Lantigua has done little to bring the agency up to speed.
He waited until March nominate a candidate to fill the Murphy vacancy, when he nominated Garcia.
The City Council rejected the nomination because members said Garcia, a school employee, would face a conflict by ruling on city business while also getting a city paycheck. They also noted he already collects a city paycheck; Licensing Board members receive a $2,400 annual stipend.
Lantigua sent no other nominations to the council for seven months, but his hand was forced when the board was left with just one member when Fielding died Sept. 9.
Hours before the Licensing Board's Sept. 26 meeting, Lantigua deemed the two vacancies an emergency because of the board's impending meeting. He gave the emergency appointment to Garcia, sidesteping the council's earlier vote against him.
Garcia hosts a Spanish-language talk show on WCEC and writes an occasional column for Rumbo, a Spanish-language newspaper. On the air and in print, he is a steadfast supporter of Lantigua. In an internet blog last year, he described a recent effort to recall Lantigua as a "dirty, negative and divisive political campaign."

Marc Segre believes in the power of a biscuit not so much for its nutritional value but for the relationship it helps him build.
Segre, 57, is an IBM engineer and a member of Soapstone United Methodist Church in Raleigh. Hes also active in working with the homeless and indigent.
He volunteers with Love Wins Ministries, which has received attention recently for its work in distributing food to hungry people at Moore Square on the east side of downtown.
In August, Raleigh police told Love Wins that officers would enforce a city ordinance banning distribution of food in Raleigh parks without a permit. Dozens of speakers then complained to the Raleigh City Council. The council this week agreed to improve a city-owned warehouse near Moore Square and host charity distributions each weekend.
In a recent column, I questioned whether giving away biscuits was an effective strategy to help the poor. I mentioned the 2011 book Toxic Charity, which says: When we do for those in need what they have the capacity to do for themselves, we disempower them.
Segre objected to my column, saying I didnt make an effort to learn about Love Wins and what it does. (We published a story about Love Wins in September, Flap brings tiny ministry fame, which you can read at bit.ly/1coMCMi.)
Segre says Love Wins is about more than handing out biscuits on Saturday mornings. The biscuits, he says, are a way to get to know people. The first step is creating the relationship, Segre told me this week.
Four churches work with Love Wins to distribute food on weekends. As they do so, they invite people to visit Love Wins small facility on West Jones Street on the edge of downtown.
The building is a former house thats open five days a week. Sometimes a social worker is there. People can have a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, do some laundry, make a phone call, use the computers, take a nap. When I dropped by this week, visitors did all of those things as they talked with one another. It was its own community, a hangout for people with no place else.
Segre enjoys that community. Most of them are just regular people, just like you and me, except more interesting, he said. He wore a T-shirt that said, STOP HOBOPHOBIA.
Segre also volunteers with two other groups that serve the homeless. Hes aware of the good work done by groups that prepare people for employment or bring stability to their chaotic lives, such as StepUp Ministry and the Healing Place.
Many of the people served by Love Wins arent eligible for other programs. They arent stable enough or cannot follow rules, Segre said. They are, he said, the people most of us dont look at when we walk down the street.
While regular employment might be achievable for a client at StepUp Ministry, Segre says thats not a realistic goal for many of the people he meets through Love Wins. Success is meeting them where theyre at, he said. For him, that means starting a relationship by handing out a biscuit.
Meet the columnists
Rob Christensen, political columnist, and Barry Saunders, local columnist, will appear at Quail Ridge Books & Music in Raleighs Ridgewood Shopping Center at 7:30 p.m. Monday. They will talk about some of their favorite columns and answer your questions. I will moderate. We hope you can drop by.

BOSTON (AP) - The transit police officer who survived a showdown with the Boston Marathon bombing suspects has been discharged from the hospital.
Officer Richard Donohue headed home Friday morning, with other Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority officers escorting him.
Donohue has been recovering at Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital for about a month.
The 33-year-old officer still has a bullet in his body, and has been coping with nerve damage that makes it painful to walk.
He's said before that he's looking forward to going home so he can spend more time with his son and toss a ball with his family's dog.
Donohue also said he doesn't remember the gun battle that left him with a severed femoral artery and that he wants to return to his job.
