Valparaiso earned a pair of victories Saturday at the Ramada Inn UNI Dome Classic in Ames, Iowa, using a stellar pitching performance to down Nebraska-Omaha 6-0 before breaking out the bats for an 11-5 victory over Big 12 foe Iowa State in the nightcap.
"I'm really pleased with the way we bounced back today as a team after a rough game yesterday," said Crusader head coach Jordan Stevens. "We had a lot of good production from a lot of different hitters today. I thought our approaches at the plate were much better than they were yesterday. Our pitchers also did a nice job keeping us in the games, giving us a chance for the wins."
The story of the opener was the performance in the circle by senior Alex Lagesse (Beecher, Ill./Beecher). Lagesse surrendered just four hits in the complete-game shutout, walking none while striking out nine batters. The only real threat came in the fourth inning, as a double gave UNO runners on second and third with one out, but Lagesse induced a pop-up and then registered a strikeout to escape the inning unscathed.
Meanwhile, Valpo got all the offense it would need in the bottom of the first inning. The Crusaders got their first two batters of the game on base, and freshman cleanup hitter Brittany Duncan (Fairborn, Ohio/Fairborn) brought home the first run of the game with an RBI double. Senior Sara Strickland (Scottsdale, Ariz./Horizon) crossed the plate later in the inning on a wild pitch, while a single by senior Jordan Rutkowski (Alden, N.Y./Alden) scored junior Hayley Bridwell (Lemont, Ill./Lemont) to give Valpo a 3-0 lead after one frame.
The Crusaders added a single run in the second inning, as redshirt sophomore Jessie Marinec (Alsip, Ill./Marist) came home on an RBI single by sophomore Angie Doerffler (Fort Wayne, Ind./Concordia Lutheran) to make it 4-0. The rest of the offense ran through sophomore Amanda Wisniewski (Lake in the Hills, Ill./Huntley), as she led off the fourth inning with a solo homer to push the lead to five runs before doubling with one out in the sixth and scoring on an RBI single by freshman Lindsey Norway (Chicago, Ill./Chicago Christian) for the final margin.
Wisniewski closed the opener Saturday a perfect 3-for-3 with two runs scored, while Norway and Rutkowski each had two-hit games as well. Ashton Hughes started in the circle for Nebraska-Omaha (0-2), allowing four runs, three earned, in 1.1 innings of work.
Valpo then jumped all over Iowa State in its finale on Saturday, scoring six runs in the first three innings. The Crusaders claimed the lead in their half of the first inning for the second straight game, as Norway reached via a leadoff error and advanced 60 feet at a time, eventually scoring on a Duncan single. Valpo scored two in the second, as senior Kelsey Phalen (Batavia, Ill./Batavia) reached on a one-out single and Marinec followed with a walk. The duo advanced around the bases, with Phalen scoring on a wild pitch before Norway drove in Marinec with a sacrifice fly.
Then, in the third inning, the Crusaders had nobody on with two outs before back-to-back walks to redshirt junior Joylyn Ichiyama-Drewry (Torrance, Calif./Redondo Union) and Phalen and a single by Marinec loaded the bases. A wild pitch brought home Ichiyama-Drewry to make it 4-0, and then Wisniewski continued her big day with a two-run single to plate Phalen and Marinec, pushing the lead to 6-0. Valpo added a single run in the fourth as Doerffler scored on a sacrifice fly by Rutkowski to move the Crusaders to the verge of a possible run-rule victory.
Iowa State would scuttle any ideas of a shortened win, scoring two runs in the fifth and three in the sixth to move within 7-5. But Valpo had one more big inning remaining to secure the win, pushing four runs across in the bottom of the sixth. Norway led off with a double and Doerffler followed with a two-bagger of her own to plate the freshman. Then, after a Strickland single put runners on the corners with nobody out, Duncan blasted her first career home run, a three-run shot that provided the final 11-5 score.
Duncan went 2-for-4 in the finale with four runs driven in, while Doerffler and Phalen each registered two hits and scored two runs apiece. Senior Sam McGee (Bloomington, Minn./Jefferson) improved to 1-1 after going five-plus innings in the start, surrendering three runs while striking out four. Lagesse closed out the final two innings in the circle. Miranda Kemp took the loss for Iowa State (0-1), giving up six runs in just 2.2 innings of work.
Valparaiso (2-1) closes out action at the Ramada Inn UNI Dome Classic on Sunday with a single game against Drake at noon. Live stats for the game can be accessed through www.valpoathletics.com.
"We need to come out tomorrow the same way we did today, to end the tournament strong against Drake," said Stevens.

Obama Trending Up in Gallup Daily Tracking Poll
by Shaun Appleby, Thu Jan 31, 2008 at 10:41:23 PM EST
Daily tracking polls haven't meant much before now but are hard to resist in these last days headed into Super Tuesday. The Rasmussen Daily Tracking polls have often been discussed, and dismissed, in diaries and comments here but the Gallup Daily Tracking seems a horse of a different colour.
The latest Democratic numbers show Hillary Clinton with a 43% to 39% advantage over Barack Obama among Democratic voters nationwide. That four-point lead is the narrowest since early January, and it is a continuation of gains by Obama. The impact of John Edwards' exit from the Democratic race is less clear. Wednesday night's numbers (the first with Edwards excluded from the ballot) show no clear indication that either candidate is benefiting disproportionately. Clinton and Obama will debate in California tonight, which could affect Democrats' support for the two candidates going into the weekend before Super Tuesday's primaries and caucuses.
Jeff Jones - Gallup Daily: Tracking Election 2008
It's encouraging for Obama supporters to see Hillary's historic lead eroding just in time for the twenty-two state caucus and primary circus. The expectations of her finishing the contest there have been largely forgotten and both campaigns seem prepared to fight on after Super Tuesday. I believe that the remaining high confidence that Hillary will keep Obama at arms length from winning a threatening number of delegates must now be based solely on her performance in certain Congressional Districts and other demographic minutiae which is beyond my ability to comprehend or analyse.
Some thoughts on the Gallup Daily Tracking poll:
Whatever you think of IVR polls -- and the methodology certainly remains controversial in the survey research world -- the Gallup program is distinct from Rasmussen in other ways than the use of live interviewers. According to Newport, the Gallup Daily uses the "same robust methodology" as all other Gallup polls: live interviewers, a random-digit-dial sample, as many as 5 "call-backs" to those not home when they call, cell-phone sampling to reach those in cell-phone only households (something Gallup also introduced to their standard methodology this month) and Spanish speaking interviewers available for when they reach a household in which only Spanish is spoken.
That "call back" procedure may sound excruciatingly wonky, but it is important and a key distinction from the Rasmussen tracking. So far at least, Gallup has used a procedure that dialed each sampled number as many as five times over successive nights if the initial attempts were unsuccessful (that is, if the number was busy or if no one answered the telephone). They structure their calling procedure so that the sample on any given day is equivalent to a sample dialed for many days. Each day has the same mix of attempts (first, second, third and so on).
The Gallup Daily survey design has two critical benefits, according to Newport. First, obviously, it allows us to attempt to monitor the impact of major campaign events on a daily basis, such as the Barack Obama's victory in South Carolina.
Mark Blumenthal - The Gallup Daily www.pollster.com 28 Jan 08
The more conservative www.pollster.com analysis uses an aggregate of conventional national polls and is much less sensitive to daily variations, but the trend is also starting to emerge pretty clearly, if more slowly.
I am having a bit of trouble synthesising the myriad individual state polls, not to mention prediction markets, headed into this crucial period in the campaign. The daily tracking results, as a trend, seem to show a significant movement for Senator Obama and are possibly starting also to show the influence of John Edwards' decision to drop out of the race. The longer term analysis actually shows a more pronounced trend but a wider spread. But I am still unsure of what I am seeing here and perplexed on a number of other points and would welcome discussion of the following questions, among others.
Will Obama peak? Has he already? Is this trend too late to make serious inroads into Hillary's long-term lead nationally? Are we at last seeing uncommitteds making up there mind? Does large numbers of pre-submitted ballots in key states make these results irrelevant? Why are the state polls still showing Hillary with convincing margins? We shall soon see the answers to all of these questions. This is getting very interesting. What's the verdict folks, is this looking closer all the time or are we just seeing a smokescreen of irrelevant data?

A 14-foot-long that once belonged to the north tower of the World Trade Center arrived at its new home at Croton Landing last week. The piece of steel was safely transported from the Continental Village Fire Department to the Reaching Through the Shadow at Croton Landing.
The steel is the feature of the memorial, designed by architect who volunteered his time and expertise. The project, funded by community donations and town and village contributions, to those who were lost on or as a result of the tragic 9/11 attacks and as a standing reminder of the events of that day.
The BCC 9/11 Memorial Task Force has spent many volunteer hours and coordinated effort to have the first phase of the memorial complete by Sept. 11 this year.
Cortlandt resident and Continental Village Volunteer firefighter Bob Pidgeon coordinated the escort of first responders, and was one of several volunteers who worked to mount the base plate to the boulder, to which the beam was bolted on Aug. 27.
The escort was led by New York State Police Trooper C.J. Comstock, who cleared traffic along the route from the Continental Village Volunteer firehouse to the riverfront park location.
Gary Urbanowicz, also a member of the BCC Task Force and an honorary deputy chief, FDNY, drove a vintage 1962 FDNY chief's car, followed by CVFD Chief Charles Valt and fire trucks fm the CVFD and Buchanan and Verplanck Volunteer Fire Departments. At Highland Ave. and Roa Hook Road, the Peekskill FD joined in the procession. At the Buchanan/Montrose entrance to Rte. 9, the Police and Fire Departments and Ambulance Corps from the Village of Croton joined the escort as well.
As a donated service, Rodack's Auto Repair and Towing of Garrison provided the flatbed truck to which the flag-draped steel beam was fastened for the approximately 16-mile trip to Croton Landing.
To read more about the steel girder and plans for the 9/11 BCC Memorial, phase one and two, click here.
A special thanks to Bob Foley, Public Relations Chair, BCC 9/11 Memorial Task Force, for sending this information. Also thanks to Foley, Gary Urbanowicz and James Rhodes for providing photos of the installation.

The Chronicle
Pella —
During the January 2 Pella City Council meeting, the second reading of an ordinance amending electrical rates was approved by council.
As reported in last week's Pella Chronicle, on October. 23, 2012, the City Council reviewed the Electrical Cost of Service Study performed by Missouri River Energy Services (MRES). The Electrical Cost of Service Study analyzed the cost of serving each of the utility customer classes and recommended an electrical rate structure which was based on the cost to serve our customers. On December 4, 2012, the City Council reviewed a new energy cost adjustment (ECA) formula which accounts for fluctuations in the costs of the City's power supply, fuel for the diesel generating plant, and transmission expenses. After discussion, staff was directed to proceed with amending the electrical rates.
Comparison of Proposed Electrical Rates to Current Electrical Rates
Overall, there will be no increase in revenues received by the City as the proposed electric rates are estimated to provide the same amount of revenue as our existing rates. However, based on the Cost of Service Study, there will be increases and decreases in the respective classes to adjust to the cost to service each class.
Energy Cost Adjustment (ECA)
The ECA is intended, to account for fluctuations in the cost of the City's power supply, fuel for the City's diesel generating plant, and transmission expenses. It is important to note, staff believes the ECA will be more stable in the future and as a result we are proposing an ECA formula which would require Council approval to increase the ECA above the baseline energy cost of 6.8 cents per kWH as identified in the Cost of Service Study. As a result, any changes desired by Council would be made in November for the upcoming calendar year and would be based on projected energy costs. Listed below is the proposed ECA formula:
A+B/C-$0.068= ECA (Factor to apply to monthly bills.)
A = Annual projected power and transmission costs for the next calendar year.
B = Actual cost of fuel for local generation in excess of $45,000.00 in the previous year.
C = Annual projected kWh. $0.068 = Base Power Cost (Already included in the rate structures).
Proposed Electric Rates
The new electrical rates include a seasonal rate structure in which the rates will be higher in the summer months of June thru August and lower in the spring, fall, and winter months. The reason for this approach is the City's purchase power costs thru Missouri River Energy Services are higher in the summer months which is driven by demands for energy. In addition, power supply costs account for approximately 80% of the electric utility's operating costs. If Council adopts the proposed rates, staff will be providing our customers with information of the new seasonal rates along with strategies to reduce the community's peak electrical demands during the summer months.
If council were to adopt the ordinance for the new electric rates, they would be in effect for utility bills due in April 2013 for March 2013 usage.
A chart of the proposed impact the new rates will have on each of the City's customer classes and the proposed electrical rates can be found in the January 3 edition of the Pella Chronicle - located on Page 2.

The Valdosta Daily Times
Dasher —
TitleTown has been growing bigger each year. With new football programs blossoming across the region, South Georgia prepares to add a new team to the mix.
The Georgia Christian School Generals have not had a football program at their school since the 1960s. During the past few decades, the school has been known for an impressive basketball program.
The new GCS football team will feature 24 players, as they chase their goal of a winning first season.
The Generals will play in their first scrimmage this Friday in Athens. They will face off against Monsignor Donovan High School, which is also a first-year program.
The new team will run a spread offense similar to that of Valdosta State's offense and will be led by offensive coordinator James Carter and Head Coach Kent Copeland.
On defense, the team will operate out of a 3-4. Due to only having 24 players, players will be asked to fill roles on both sides of the ball to help pull off wins.
The team will play its first regular season game in Cordele against Crisp Academy on Aug. 22.
The Generals open their first open game against area football powerhouse, the Valwood Valiants, on Sept. 5.
The new team will lean on sophomore Cole Copeland as quarterback to garnish some wins this season. Other Georgia Christian players to watch will be Jerry Beverly at wide receiver and linebacker in addition to Sherrod Bell on the defensive line and Christian Wiesenbaker also starting at linebacker.
The new team has been well received so far by the community and coaches are excited to be bringing more opportunity to the city.
"The main thing is, this is Winnnersville. It's an opportunity for us to give the City of Valdosta a school where all the kids can get a chance to play. We are all about building better players, on and off the field," said special teams coach Ryan Warren.
While the team hopes to grow in the future, the Generals will only play a junior varsity schedule this season, due to having no seniors on the roster.

Michael J. Klarman won the Bancroft Prize in 2005 for From Jim Crow to Civil Rights: The Supreme Court and the Struggle for Racial Equality. Brown v. Board of Education and the Civil Rights Movement, is an abridged, paperback edition of his original masterpiece, which focuses around one major case, Brown v. Board of Education. In the original essay below Klarman, who is the James Monroe Professor of Law and Professor of History at the University of Virginia, explores political backlash.
While we ordinarily think of Brown v. Board of Education (1954) as contributing to the creation of the modern civil rights movement, Brown's more immediate effect was to crystallize the resistance of southern whites to progressive racial change, radicalize southern politics, and create a climate ripe for violence. Indeed, prominent Court decisions interpreting the U.S. Constitution have often produced political backlashes that undermine the causes that the rulings seem to promote.
In 1842, when the U.S. Supreme Court struck down a Pennsylvania law that sought to protect the state's free black citizens from kidnapping by southern slave catchers, outraged northern states responded to the ruling by adopting even more aggressive laws that interfered with the efforts of southern masters to recapture escaped fugitive slaves. In 1857, the Supreme Court ruled in the famous Dred Scott decision that the Constitution barred Congress from interfering with slavery in federal territories. That decision produced an enormous backlash in northern states. The newly formed Republican party, whose principal political commitment was to securing a congressional ban on slavery in federal territories, mobilized against the Court. Many northern voters, beginning to believe Republican allegations of a slave power conspiracy to interfere with their liberties, became Republicans, thus helping to elect Abraham Lincoln president in 1860.
More recent Court decisions interpreting the Constitution have produced similar political backlashes. The Warren Court's criminal procedure rulings of the 1960s—and especially Miranda v. Arizona in 1966—became popular targets for politicians trying to establish their toughness on crime in the midst of urban race riots and rising crime rates. A movie actor named Ronald Reagan won the 1966 gubernatorial election in California on such a platform, and Richard Nixon was elected president of the United States in 1968 after a campaign in which he criticized courts for unduly handcuffing police officers.
The Supreme Court's ruling against the constitutionality of the death penalty in Furman v. Georgia in 1972 produced an extraordinary political backlash. National opinions polls conducted between 1969 and 1971 showed consistent majorities of roughly 50 percent to 40 percent in favor of the death penalty. Within a few months of the Supreme Court's decision in Furman, that 10 percent gap had become 25 percent; within another year, it had become 35 percent. As Americans came to fear that the Court would permanently deprive them of the death penalty, they mobilized in favor of capital punishment. Politicians played an important role in this process. Within a week of Furman, a young district attorney in Philadelphia named Arlen Specter was promoting a constitutional amendment to save the death penalty. In California, Governor Reagan spent the better part of 1972 attacking the state supreme court ruling against the death penalty, culminating in a state referendum in November that approved capital punishment by 67 percent to 32 percent—by far the largest margin in favor of the death penalty that California polls had ever revealed.
In November of 2003, the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court ruled that the state's constitution required that gay and lesbian couples be permitted to marry. That ruling became a dominant topic in the 2004 presidential election, mobilizing social and religious conservatives, driving a wedge through the Democratic party's constituencies, and possibly earning President Bush a narrow victory in Ohio, where the presidential contest was determined. In the three years since the Massachusetts court decision, roughly twenty states have adopted constitutional amendments defining marriage as a union between a man and a woman. Only two states had such constitutional provisions before the court ruling.
Brown v. Board of Education had a similar effect in the South in the mid-1950s. The Supreme Court's decision, which invalidated public school segregation under the Fourteenth Amendment, radicalized southern politics and fomented violent resistance to progressive racial change. Fifteen to twenty-five percent of southern whites candidly admitted to pollsters that they would support violence, if necessary, to block school integration. Southern politicians competed against one another to occupy the most extreme position on the segregationist spectrum. Brown rehabilitated the political careers of southern extremists like Birmingham police commissioner Bull Connor and created the careers of others, such as George Wallace of Alabama. Connor, for example, negotiated with leaders of the Ku Klux Klan, offering them 15 minutes of "open season" on the Freedom Riders when they rolled into Birmingham in May 1961, in exchange for their political support. The civil rights demonstrators suffered horrific beatings, and Connor won reelection to office.
Brown's backlash ultimately generated a counterbacklash, however. Northern whites had been indifferent about civil rights generally—and the enforcement of Brown v. Board of Education specifically—until they witnessed through the new medium of television the barbarities perpetrated by southern law enforcement officers on peaceful civil rights demonstrators. Repulsed by such episodes on the streets of southern cities such as Birmingham and Selma, they demanded civil rights legislation, which then accelerated the demise of the southern Jim Crow system. Thus, paradoxically, the Court's ruling in Brown contributed to the demise of white supremacy by bringing to the surface the violence that lay at the core of white supremacy and exposing it to the nation's disapproving gaze.

The political backlash that resulted from the Supreme Court's ruling in Brown v. Board of Education may have had the immmediate effect of strengthening white resistance to desegregation. However, today, one could say that we've witnessed a sort of "counterbacklash" to the counterbacklash of Brown, what with the present state of our public schools, which are just as segregated–if not more–as they were when the decision was made. I wonder if Justice Warren is turning in his grave right now? If so, he can thank current immigration patterns as well as disparate urban housing policies that have plagued America's diverse cities–policies that essentially have created a trend towards resegregation. How's that for some [backward] backlash…

Quick! Whats your credit score?
For those who dont know that critical number, Wells Fargo is again this year offering free credit reports and the accompanying scores to any consumer who wants them through April 15.
The offer is part of a nationwide Share Your Goals campaign, which includes a sweepstakes that will award a $500 Wells Fargo Visa card to 12 individuals and a $10,000 grand prize to one person.
The San Francisco-based company said more than 280,000 consumers took the bank up on its offer of free credit reports and scores last October. The majority of American adults roughly six out of 10 people havent seen their credit report, according to the National Foundation for Credit Counseling.
Wells Fargo said the average credit score for those residing in the Columbus metro area in 2012 was 718, with average debt at just over $30,000. That compares to the U.S. average credit score of 748 and average debt of about $25,500.

Indiana University Southeast will host the inaugural Champions Dinner, recognizing former and current Grenadier athletes and coaches, on Saturday, Aug. 24, in the Hoosier Room on the IU Southeast campus in New Albany.
The dinner is designed to honor student-athletes and raise funds for IU Southeast athletic scholarships.
Awards will be given to the male and female athletes of the year. The inaugural event will also honor former IU Southeast men's basketball coach and first athletic director Jim Morris by introducing the Jim Morris Champions of Character Award, which will be given annually to a student-athlete who exemplifies strong moral character, sportsmanship and the core values of IU Southeast.
"We hope this event will grow to be a huge success and will serve as a way to raise awareness of the impact of athletics at IU Southeast, as well as funding needed scholarships for our student-athletes," said Joe Glover, IU Southeast Athletic Director. "IU Southeast ranks in the bottom 10 percent for financial aid provided to our student athletes as compared to other members of the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA), and we want to improve that number."
In addition to the dinner and awards, the Champions Dinner will honor some significant moments in the history of IU Southeast athletics and will feature highlights and accomplishments from the 2012-13 athletic season.
IU Southeast athletics has experienced much success recently. This year's men's basketball team advanced to the school's first ever NAIA Final Four and finished the season ranked No. 3 in the NAIA Coaches' Poll, its highest ranking ever.
Last May the Grenadier softball team advanced to the program's first NAIA Softball Final Eight.
Also last season, five out the seven athletic programs at IU Southeast won KIAC Championships. Most impressively, more than half of Grenadier student-athletes were named to the Athletic Director's Honor Roll for achieving a GPA of 3.0 or higher.
One main objective of the Champions Dinner is to re-engage former Grenadier student-athletes.
Individual ticket prices will be announced at a later date. Sponsorships for the Champions Dinner also are available at varying levels. Please contact the IU Southeast Athletic Department at 812-941-2432 or at email@example.com for more information or to become a sponsor. If you are a former student-athlete and are interested in attending this year's dinner, please contact Grenadier Athletic Director Joe Glover at email@example.com
Visit the Champions Dinner website at ius.edu/champions for the latest updates including award winner bios, event details, and ticket information.

70 Gracey Rd, Canton, CT 06019
The Roaring Brook Nature Center was founded in 1948 by Una Storrs Riddle. The wonderful woodsy grounds provide a…More great spot to take a hike, learn about Connecticut wildlife or sit quietly and watch a flurry of birds busily eating from one of the many feeders.
But if you want to totally experience the center, you must step inside and check out the exhibits. Here you will see a replica of a real Indian Longhouse, a beaver wetland and other seasonal exhibits reflecting the climate, history and wildlife of Connecticut. Don't miss the small animal room, which houses snakes, frogs and other native animals.
There are several programs available for school groups, scout troops, home schoolers and vacations. Summer camp here is quite popular and so are the nature-inspired birthday parties. The gift shop is a great place to shop for the nature lovers on your list, both young and old.

ideas for "scary food"- themed dinner
My food club is having a dinner with the theme "scary food."
We're pretty upscale as to ingredients and techniques so nothing is off the table. What I don't want: squid ink anything (taken), offal (taken/done for past theme), balut, fugu, nor anything cute like spider web decorated cupcakes, cookies in the shape of fingers, etc.
My only thought so far is something referencing pink slime—not to actually cook with it but make something that looks like it or relates to it. Don't know what.
So, you creative cooks out there, any ideas?
So you want something that looks visually revolting then?
Serve some cod that hasn't been verified for parasites. Or get some yamaimo and grind yourself some snot; reinforce with natto to look like boogers.
Update: you can serve the latter as a side alongside some braised snout (done like rafute).
Update 2: I did think of something else but it depends on whether you can get the base product - fermented tofu, as in stinky tofu or the fermented varieties which have the mycelia all over it.
Anything with trans-fats, hfcs, meat glue, rice.
ok.you.and several Vodkas got my sick, demented mind going............
Hard boiled eggs, sliced like devilled eggs..scoop out the yolks for something else...put one of those raw baby clams in the hole and give it a squirt of Srichiacha for "pink-eye"
Sculpt a "nose" outta a carrot.with two snots of green garlicky mayo
Finish off with a jagged mouth of thinly sliced canteloupe that is "bleeding" a bit of raspberry jam
Actually, the combo, eaten in succesion, might not be so bad
Pig's head.
Or sheep's head.
Scary-looking but delicious.
re: drongo
Ooooh, you just took me back to growing up in a Greek neighborhood, and seeing those sheep heads in the meat counters. Complete with eyes. I'm sure they could be prepared to be delicious but man they scared me:
Scariest food on CH: "I forgot my sauce/stock/meat on the stove overnight - is it still good?"
Always the best point of reference for upscale cookery, there was an episode of Come Dine with Me a while ago where they guy did a roast rib of beef but he removed the outer layer of fat, or acquired a roll of fat from elsewhere, then re-barded the joint after it was cooked. Because the fat was really dried out, it looked a bit like the whole thing was rotting, iirc. I couldn't find any pictures online.
You could also do a tower of sugared fruits, on an antique-looking stand, with cobwebs strewn around and maybe some bugs - I'm thinking Miss Havisham's abandoned wedding feast.
What about stargazy pie?

hahahah whew! *^_^* so glad i asked! you may appreciate this...
re: suzigirl
In the Momofuku cookbook, David Chang turns over some pages to Wylie Dufresne to talk about "meat glue", so if you want to get your molecular gastronomy on, you can use some transglutaminase to make a franken-steak. Perhaps it would be too cute to put together poultry parts in the shape of a human so that you can make a "tastes like chicken" joke.
Aspic can look scary.
Oh boy...if you really want to reference pink slime, try the Finnish vispipuuro. First, take a look: http://www.google.com/search?q=vispip...
The first time I saw "pink slime" images, I flashed immediately to this pudding, one of our family's all-time favorites. There are many recipes, but at the core, it's a berry (we always used fresh cranberries) and farina pudding that is chilled and whipped. It's delicious, by the way. And pretty, if one is not just thinking of pink slime.
Kitty litter cake: http://www.kidskuisine.com/kitty-litt...
Here's a link to Penn & Teller's Bleeding Heart cake, but you could always use FriedClamFanatic's suggestion of a heart and use an anatomically correct Jell-O heart mold and Jell-O instead of cake.
Longon or lychee eyeballs. http://www.foodchannel.com/files/0001...
"Scary food," eh?
Going back some years now, there was a US outbreak of Mad Cow Disease. We then attended a culinary event at our country club, along with a wine maker and his offerings. The mains that night were Calves' Brains." Oh, what bad, and scary timing! I do not think that any of the 50 +/- in attendance ate the main dish.
That WAS "scary," but probably NOT what you are looking for.
Fish head soup?
Or serve one of my favourite dishes from a restaurant chain in Japan - a bowl of white rice topped with natto, tororo (grated japanese mountain potato - it comes out very slimy), sliced okra and tuna sashimi, topped with a raw egg. The Japanese apparently translates as "bomb bowl".
very few would actually try it when i served this.
Ok, I may be reading your post wrong and this may not even be anything like what your asking for. Espceially if your saying your upscale dining. I don't have money and never have eaten upscale but have watche a lot of cooking shows. This is a pic of Meatloaf hands I made with Mash potatos. The cheese & ketchup or tomatoe sauce under the broiler makes it look burnt. Im sure with better ingredients and more time it could look a lot better than this. But, it's just an idea.
Maybe a nice bowl or two of blood worms.
I immediately thought of Heston Blumenthal's gothic feast. Here's a link to an article on his feast that he created, you may find it rather inspiring.

If Saturday's performance is any indication, the Heritage Hills Patriots will be quite happy to hit the road for postseason action in March.
Heritage Hills (5-4) put on a shooting exhibition in their initial trip this season to the host gym for Sectional 31 in a 67-49 win over Washington (3-7) at the Hatchet House.
The Patriots shot 63 percent (25-40) from the field and an even better 12-17 (71 percent) from beyond the 3-point arc in downing coach Gene Miiller¹s squad. And it was a performance that didn't surprise Miiller.
"Heritage Hills played tonight like I feared they could play. I've seen them play a lot of times, and always thought they were a good team. Tonight, they shot the ball extremely well. They handled the basketball well," said Miiller. "They're a good basketball team, they're young, and I think they may have stepped forward this weekend. They could be very tough come sectional time." With the Hatchets coming off a thrilling last-second home victory over Evansville Mater Dei on Friday, Heritage Hills started quickly, running out to an 11-3 lead in the first 3:00 of action.
The Patriots led 23-10 after one quarter and 34-21 at the half, and extended the margin to 25 points at 56-31 after three periods of play. Gavin Schaefer did most of the damage in the first half as the sophomore drained five 3-pointers on the way to 17 points. Schaefer would lead all scorers with 27 points on 10-12 shooting from the floor. Devon Merder added 22 points for the Patriots, followed by seven from Sam Scherry. Combined, Shaefer and Merder were 11-14 from 3-point land on the night.
Washington used a variety of defenses to try and slow down the hot shooting Patriots, but to no avail.
"We had no answer. We couldn't stop the point guard (Scherry) when were playing man, and we went to a zone, we didn't do a good job of containing Merder and Schaefer," said Miiller. "They're just a tough team to defend, and we just weren't ready to defend them tonight." A bright spot for the Hatchets came in the turnover department, where WHS committed just nine miscues after a 22-turnover performance against Mater Dei. However, the Hatchets shot just 43 percent from the field on Saturday after shooting 59 percent in Friday's win.
"Our turnovers were better, I thought we did take care of the basketball a little better, but we didn't shoot the ball well," said Miiller. "But the biggest thing was defensively, we just couldn¹t defend them tonight." As he was on Friday, center Cullen Arnold was nearly unstoppable for the Hatchets in the low post as the senior topped WHS with 17 points and also led the Hatchets with five rebounds. Colten Garland was next with 13 points, followed by five from Jarrod Purdue and two points apiece from Austin Ghirardelli and Jake Bedwell. Washington was without the services of starting forward Tyler Stoll due to an ankle injury.
Heritage Hills also claimed the JV game 48-47. Matthew Sparks led WHS with
25 points, followed by Carson Smith with 11.

Facing the Challenges of the Parents' Empty Nest
For most parents, a child has been under their roof for 18 years. Now, in the blink of an eye, they are embarking on a life all their own — better known as college. In many ways you might think, "This is the day I've been waiting for — I have my life back!" The flip side to that, of course, is the sentiment of missing your child's presence in your home, and adjusting to your new "empty nest." So, like many parents of college-bound children, you may be wondering how to be both supportive to your child and adjust to your new chapter of life, as well. The most important thing to remember is that this is undoubtedly going to be a time of adjustment for both you and your child. With the right approach however, this can be the positive experience that it is intended to be for both.
Being a positive force in your child's new life
We all have a protective nature as a parent. Don't feel guilty about it. The trick is figuring out the best way to channel it. One of the most difficult things to do as a parent who is in the position of sending a child off to college is "letting go" and avoiding the tendency to become "over-involved." It is best to be in the position of a consultant to your child versus being a problem-solver. The goal is to enable him to figure out how to independently work through new challenges that he may face day to day.
Here are some helpful tips to remember when parenting "from a distance":
Do more listening than giving advice.
You may have the urge to rush to your child's rescue when she calls you to tell you that something is wrong with a roommate situation, problem with a professor, or dislike of the school's meal plan. Offering empathy without actually problem-solving is your best bet in such a situation: discuss different ways for her to deal with the issue versus coming up with all the answers yourself.
Treat your child like a responsible adult.
If you interact with your child in a way that shows you trust his judgment, he is far more likely to make responsible decisions. Your confidence in him reinforces his own competence level. Conversely, if you continuously show a lack of support in his decision-making ability, he may receive the message that he is not capable of coping on his own. Be sure to let him know you believe in him — and remember to believe it yourself.
When to step in.
There are, of course, times when you will need to step in and come to your child's aid. As a parent, it is sometimes difficult to determine when this may be. The most obvious however, is if your child's physical or mental health is at risk. Naturally, you will want to support her immediately in such a case.
Remember — you have spent 18 long years raising your child to the best of your ability. Give her the opportunity to shine and make it on her own — chances are, she's earned it.
Taking Care of YOU
You will most likely be feeling many strong emotions when your child leaves for college; separation, sadness, and worry to name a few on the not-so-great end of the spectrum. On the other hand, you will likely feel excitement, happiness, and hope for his bright future. Again, remember that it's normal to feel all of these things, and that this is not a permanent state of being.
The following are some helpful ways to cope:
Keep a daily log.
Whether or not this may seem like a silly idea to you, it has proven to be highly beneficial for parents who have just sent a child off to school, or who are experiencing "empty nest" syndrome. A log is a safe place for you to express the emotions you are feeling without any outside judgment. Logging your feelings can also be a constructive means for you to map out what it is that you want out of this new stage of your life, as well. If you want feedback and don't mind sharing your thoughts, start a web log (or "blog").
Take a time out.
Sometimes it's very easy to forget that there's more to life than earning a living and taking care of children. We can easily lose sight of ourselves as individuals when maintaining a strong focus on our roles as parents or professionals. Let this new stage of your life be an opportunity to get back in touch with a hobby you may have or planning that trip you've always wanted to take. Sometimes, doing something as simple as taking a day trip to a spa, renting a good movie, or trying a yoga class at your gym, can prove to be a much-needed refresher. The better you take care of yourself at this transitional time, the more useful you will be to yourself and your child.
Find a support group.
The most comforting thing to know through this whole process may be that you are not alone. Virtually every parent who is in the same position as you is undoubtedly experiencing feelings, in some capacities, that are similar to your own. Take this opportunity to reach out to others in your situation. Seek out support groups that may meet in the public library, community center, church, or even online.
Put off additional life changes for now.
Remember to respect the fact that this chapter of your life represents a big change to which you will need time to adjust. As we all know, change, both bad and good, can be stressful. If at all possible, try to avoid overwhelming yourself by taking on too many life-altering changes like accepting a new job or moving into a new home.
Although every parent's situation is unique, if you maintain a constructive and supportive outlook on your child's college-bound years, you are likely to get the most out of this new-found chapter in both of your lives. And remember — this is said to be the best four years of your child's life! Make it the best four years of your life as well, and enjoy the journey!Back to Top

---- — So far, 32 people have died of fungal meningitis after they were injected with tainted steroids made at a compounding pharmacy here in Massachusetts. Another 438 people in 18 states have fallen ill.
What those patients didn't know is that the pharmacy that made the steroids and others like it have been largely exempted from Food and Drug Administration oversight.
More FDA oversight in the specialty businesses is needed, but it should be done in a way that does not bring onerous regulation to the many small compounding pharmacies that provide a valuable service for patients and doctors.
Most of the compounding pharmacies are small operations that custom-mix drugs, such as specific compounds to treat children or seniors who can't easily swallow pills.
The small, specialized industry doesn't come under the same regulation as large drug makers that must ensure they're operating sterile facilities in a safe manner.
But some compounding pharmacies have grown into mega-drug manufacturers that are pushing the legal limits.
An FDA official warned in 2003 that some large compounders were using "creative marketing" to sell drugs they claimed were superior, without any evidence of support. Still others were manufacturing drugs they claimed were unique, when they were in fact simply cheaper versions of existing drugs.
Regulation of compounding pharmacies has been left to the states, with some assuming that role well, while others are unprepared to provide real oversight. . . .
Compounding pharmacies provide a vital service in the medical field, producing speciality medicines in quantities too small to attract the interest of big pharmaceutical manufacturers.
In Washington, committees in both the House and Senate are holding hearings on the meningitis outbreak that has been linked to the pharmacy. Legislators are vowing to crack down with new federal regulations on the compounding industry. But industry officials are insisting that regulation of their operations should remain with the states.
Congress will need to find ways to rein in compounding pharmacies that are operating in an unsafe manner. But they and the FDA must also be careful not to put needless and costly regulations on legitimate smaller operations. . . .

Nice to hear this.
Dang. Everybody loves her.
Good for her!
Charter member of the "We Always Believed in Ashley" Club and the "We Believe in Ricky" Club
Old, lonely, pathos-hungry, and extremely gullible
Think the ceremony is open to the general public?
Creating drama!
What a nice honor!
Southern Vermont College is just 20 minutes from my house. I may have to sneak in!
Wow. Twenty-nine years old and already receiving honorary doctorates! Congrats to her!!
Wow. That's very impressive.
"Corporation, n. An ingenious device for obtaining individual profit without individual responsibility." - Ambrose Bierce
Love the Title of Phil's article:
"That will be Doctor Michelle Kwan, if you Please"
No doubt Ms. Kwan will be a "Doctor" in her own right in due course.
That is an incredibly nice honor for her.
Sniff, sniff, I remember when she was a tiny 13 yo jumping all over the ice.
Those who never succeed themselves are always the first to tell you how.
I love being a fan of Michelle!! She just makes it so easy-I am so proud of everything she has accomplished. I wonder how she was chosen to do that? It does just seem like yesterday I was watching Salome in my freshman college dorm room. She really has grown up to become an amazing woman. I seriously wish my lazy ass could find some inspiration because of it. ::goes and gets chips and glass of wine instead of cleaning or going to the gym::
Gal has earned it in spades!
she's the real deal. Wow!
I found the college website and on it is the President's blog @ http://blogs.svc.edu/president/
where she describes her reasons for choosing Michelle for this honor.
While on their site, I found the college President's email addy and wrote her that she should consider (if not already in the planning) webcasting the commencement ceremonies and not only would it attract a large viewership from her many fans, but would also be a great PR move for the University to promote such coverage.
She replied back saying: "Very good suggestion. Let me see what we can do.
And thanks for the kind words on the selection". Karen Gross.
If something develops from this I will update in this thread.
There is nothing more captivating in this world than a woman's form gracing the ice in skating boots. It's simply sensational!
I'm so jealous! of the students I mean.

For The Tribune-Democrat
FINDLAY, Ohio —
Gary Lantz's pin at 174 pounds got the 11th-ranked Mountain Cat wrestlers to within one point of tying the match, but sixth-ranked University of Findlay won the final three bouts to pull away and deal Pitt-Johnstown a 22-12 road loss on Saturday.
The Mountain Cats are now 1-1.
"We're just a little bit away from beating the top-10 teams," said UPJ coach Pat Pecora.
"It was a good match. They're ranked fourth in one poll and sixth in another. They're a top-notch team and we went toe to toe with them."
Findlay got a 6-0 win by No. 2 Ben Sergeant over Evan Link at 125 pounds to start the match, before Glenn Winslow evened the score at three with a 10-4 win over Shane Troyer at 133.
After a close loss at 141, the Mountain Cats answered to tie it again with a 4-3 win by All-American Jack Bachman at 149.
However, the Roughnecks took the lead with a decision victory at 157 and never gave it up.
Top-ranked Mason True scored a 16-8 major decision over Keith Ryan at 165 to increase it to 13-6, before Lantz pinned Alec Bissel at :35 to get UPJ to within one at 13-12.
However, No. 1 ranked Adam Walters won a 5-2 decision over Travis McKillop in the 184-pound bout, and Ashton Brown defeated Sean O'Connell 6-2 to increase it to 19-12 and seal the win.
Findlay, which improved to 2-0, closed out the match and set the final at 22-12 with seventh-ranked Andrew Tumlin's 5-3 decision over Josh Duplin at 285.
The Mountain Cats will make their 2012-13 home debut on Tuesday against No. 20 East Stroudsburg University at 7 p.m. in the Sports Center, before celebrating Pecora's 500th career win on Saturday prior to taking on Ohio Valley (W.Va.) University at 7 p.m.
