Memories of Joe and Rhoda
February 15, 2008 8:53 AM
David Groh's death Tuesday at a far-too-young 68 years old reminded me just how high the hopes once were for the "Rhoda" show in particular, and for Rhoda Morgenstern's relationship with Groh's bright and handsome Joe Gerard character in particular.
Those of us who followed Valerie Harper's development as the weight-challenged, kooky Minneapolis neighbor Rhoda on "The Mary Tyler Moore Show" and came to love her New York humor (and failures with the opposite sex) were ecstatic when she finally got her own series; plus, not only did she slim down and return to New York for the spin-off, she met her Prince Charming the first season to boot. What vindication! But Groh, for all of his manly appeal, proved to be Rhoda's undoing. Suddenly she wasn't as funny; she was beautiful now, and had a perfect mate. What's to laugh at? And even attempts to transfer her previous ugly-duckling plight onto schlumpy sister Brenda fell flat despite consistently brilliant turns by Julie Kavner.
The writers realized where they went wrong and tried to salvage matters by splitting Joe and Rhoda up by the beginning of the third season, but it was too late. The show had jumped the shark. It ran a couple more seasons then vanished mid-season.

NORMAN — This week, doing good for your community can be as simple as breaking bread together. On Friday, Panera Bread will host a benefit night for Center for Children and Families, Inc, a local nonprofit providing children and family support services. From 5 to 8 p.m., the restaurant will donate 10 percent from each dine-in guest's bill who mention CCFI at time of purchase.
In addition to the fundraiser, which will support operational expenses, Panera encourages diners to bring donations of diapers, Pull-Ups, wipes, and formula for CCFI's Baby Pantry. Supported 100 percent by donations, the Baby Pantry provided more than 72,000 diapers to nearly 3,000 local families in need in 2012.
"This event is timely because April is Child Abuse Prevention month," said Katie Fitzgerald, Executive Director of CCFI. "This is a great way to publicly kick off our efforts to educate the community about the harsh realities of child abuse and neglect."
The Center for Children and Families, a United Way of Norman partner agency, is a local, nonprofit organization specializing in healing children, empowering youth, and strengthening families in Cleveland County and surrounding areas since 1969.
"We know we cannot provide these vital services to the children and families we serve without the generosity of our supporters and donors," Fitzgerald said. "The Center for Children and Families has always appreciated the generous heart of the Norman community and businesses such as Panera Bread who provide opportunities for others to give."
CCFI's mission is to improve the lives of children through partnerships with families and communities, because every boy and girl deserves to grow up safe, nurtured, and loved. To learn more about CCFI and its services, visit www.ccfinorman.org.

The Hinsdale Swimming Program
From OpenwaterpediaInternational Marathon Swimming Hall of Fame Honour Administrator Don Watson who was a famed American swimming coach and administrator.
Don Watson
Coach Watson was the coach of distance swimming legend John Kinsella, Olympic medalist John Murphy, world professional marathon swimmer Sandra Bucha and swimmers from all walks of life including British Petroleum CEO Bob Dudley and entrepreneur George Tidmarsh while heading the swimming program at Hinsdale High School in Illinois, U.S.A. that produced many AAU Distance Individual and Team Championships, and won 12 state titles from 1967 to 1978. He also hosted the AAU Distance Championships.

Coach Watson was the 1979 recipient of the Glen S. Hummer Award recipient, an award given to the individual who makes the greatest contribution to the open water swimming in the United States.
He was also inducted as an Honour Administrator by the International Marathon Swimming Hall of Fame in its Class of 2013 for his outstanding body of work as a coach and administrator.
In 1970, he was selected as Coach of The Year by the American Swimming Coaches Association.
Coaching Career
6-time international USA Swimming Team manager from 1989-1995. Director of University of Texas Swim Center from 1981-2005. Manager of Longhorn Aquatics Swim Club: 1981-2005. Conducted over 45 major swimming championships. Coach of Hinsdale High School Swimming Team from 1965-1980. Coach of 5 Olympic swimmers winning 2 gold, 1 silver, 1 bronze medal from 1968-1972. Coach of swimmers setting 3 world records and 5 relay world records. Coach of world championship swimmers winning 5 gold and 1 silver medal from 1973-1979. Coach of 6 swimmers winning 13 national championships and setting 6 national records from 1970-1976. Coach of 3 swimmers winning 3 gold and 1 silver medal at the Pan American Games.
Career Timeline
Hinsdale Swim Club Record (1963 - 1978): In 1970, he coached John Kinsella who was the recipient of the Sullivan Award as the greatest amateur athlete of the year while a senior in high school. He was also selected as Coach of The Year by the American Swimming Coaches Association.

An Athlete's Perspective
Air Force Academy graduate and Olympian Bob Nieman says of Watson, "We were all so fortunate to end up in this little suburb of Chicago that ended up being the most progressive swim program in the state. His over-distance training was something that everyone started doing eventually. He was into the short-rest interval things to build capillaries. He was really ahead of his time. What Don did was take competitive people, and create this crucible that was the workout program. He created great swimmers. It was a combination of knowing what he was doing and paying attention to the details."

Due to a phased plan increase approved by the New Jersey Turnpike Authority more than three years ago, tolls on both the New Jersey Turnpike and the Garden State Parkway will go up in price by 50 percent, beginning at 6:30 a.m. Jan. 1.
Under the new increases, toll rates on the Garden State Parkway will increase from $0.35 to $0.50 for ramp tolls, from $0.50 to $0.75 for two-way toll plazas, and from $1 to $1.50 for one-way toll plazas.
It is the third hike in tolls for the Parkway since its opening in 1954, and the seventh for the New Jersey Turnpike since that highway's inception in 1951. The increases were voted on and approved as the second phase of a two-fold toll hike in October 2008, during the administration of former Gov. Jon Corzine.
Monmouth County residents will see price changes at the Asbury Park toll plaza at Parkway mile marker 104 and at several ramp plazas throughout the county.
For class one vehicles — cars, motorcycles and taxis — the Asbury Park toll plaza will increase from $1 to $1.50, and the ramp plazas at Belmar/Wall, Red Bank, Holmdel, Keyport and Matawan will increase in price from $0.35 to $0.50. The Eatontown ramp plaza will increase from $1 to $1.50.
Turnpike Authority Spokesman Thomas Feeney explained that the toll prices were originally raised to support a decade-long construction projects package totaling $7 billion, including a widening of the Turnpike and the Parkway south of Toms River – in addition to the organization's $1 billion-plus contribution toward a new rail tunnel to cross the Hudson River.
However, Gov. Chris Christie ordered the rail tunnel project ceased in 2010, claiming that the construction was certain to go over budget, and then redirected the over one billion dollars in revenues to other state transportation projects.

Molten Chocolate Cakes With Sugar-Coated Raspberries526 Reviews 77 Pics
"Dessert is individual molten chocolate cakes. They're simple and elegant, and they bake in under 10 minutes in a standard muffin pan. The best part about these little beauties is that the cake batter is extremely forgiving: You can make it up to six hours before you plan to serve the cakes. Fill the pans with batter and refrigerate, but remember to remove the pan far enough in advance of baking to let the batter return to room temperature. Because they bake for only 8 to 10 minutes, pop these little cakes into the oven as you're clearing the main course dishes and making coffee."

- Melt butter and chocolate in a medium heat-proof bowl over a saucepan of simmering water; remove from heat. Beat eggs, sugar and salt with a hand mixer in a medium bowl until sugar dissolves. Beat egg mixture into chocolate until smooth. Beat in flour or matzo meal until just combined. (Batter can be made a day ahead; return to room temperature an hour or so before baking.)
- Before serving dinner, adjust oven rack to middle position; heat oven to 450 degrees. Line a standard-size muffin tin (1/2 cup capacity) with 8 extra-large muffin papers (papers should extend above cups to facilitate removal). Spray muffin papers with vegetable cooking spray. Divide batter among muffin cups.
- Bake until batter puffs but center is not set, 8 to 10 minutes. Carefully lift cakes from tin and set on a work surface. Pull papers away from cakes and transfer cakes to dessert plates.
- Top each with sugared raspberries and serve immediately.

I've cooked this twice. First time, I prepared it and then put it in the refrigerator for 3 hours and cooked it after dinner. Second time, I cooked it straight away. It was definitely better the first time (more dense and chocolatey). The second time was too fluffy and dry. I'm guessing the reason was that the eggs had some time to deflate. Next time, I will make it in advance again. Thanks for the great recipe!
Hubby and I travel frequently, several times a month, which means we eat out frequently as well. We've both had our share of Molten Lava Cakes in fine restaurants all over the country. And so you understand the significance then, when hubby said these were as fine as we've had anywhere. But you do get out of these what you put into them, so use good quality chocolate, not chocolate chips--I used Scharffen Berger. Chocolatey rich and delicious, perfectly moist and cakey on the outside, gooey and "molten" on the inside. I made these in 6 oz. buttered ramekins and served with homemade raspberry sauce. A definite make again. BIG pay off for very little effort!
This is, hands down, my favorite dessert. A.k.a. chocolate lava cakes, they can be served with raspberry liqueur drizzled on the plate with a mint garnish or topped with whipped cream. I've put the batter in the freezer and have been able to store for several weeks. (Baking time is increased to 12-15 minutes.) I recommend: 1) replacing the paper muffin cups in muffin pan with ramekins sprayed with oil or cooking spray. (You can turn them over on plate for presentation.) 2) using Ghirardelli or another high quality chocolate

Three Strikes and You're Out
The GOP is the anti-science party.
Three of the GOP's rising stars—House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal, and Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida—have all recently tried to guide their party in new directions. But each ignored the biggest problem looming over nearly every major issue the GOP is trying to come to grips with: the fact that they've become the anti-science party.
Jindal has been the most blunt.
"We need to stop being the stupid party. It's time for a new Republican Party that talks like adults," he said last month. He reiterated that position last night after President Barack Obama's State of the Union address in an interview with NBC News anchor Brian Williams, but then tried to pivot to a new frame. "Tonight you heard the president double down... on taking more money out of the economy to grow the government economy, not the private sector economy," Jindal told Williams. "We have seen Wall Street greed. Now we're seeing government greed."
Cantor recently gave a major address on domestic issues in an effort to reframe the party's stances on several key fronts. But he mostly read from a tired, old script that, among other things, attacks social and political scientists and tilts towards big pharmaceutical companies that have argued for almost 30 years that regulation is keeping billion-dollar drugs off the market.
[ENJOY: Political Cartoons About the Republican Party]
Washington should be "cutting unnecessary red tape in order to speed up the availability of life saving drugs and treatments, and reprioritizing existing federal research spending," Cantor said. "Funds currently spent by the government on social science—including on politics of all things—would be better spent helping find cures to diseases." The problem is that the entire social and political science budget at the National Science Foundation, which is what Cantor is attacking here, is tiny in comparison to what big pharmaceutical companies spend on marketing costs for prescription drugs, and most people intuitively understand this.
Rubio, meanwhile, defended the GOP Tuesday after Obama's address. But rather than try to broaden his party's dismal stance on immigration, he joined the anti-science wing of his party by denying what has become abundantly clear now to three quarters of the country—that climate change is real, and already impacting the U.S. In a recent interview with BuzzFeed prior to the address, Rubio questioned whether there was "significant scientific consensus" about climate change.
The problem here is that the scientific community isn't split. A recent review of every peer-reviewed scientific study published on climate change science in the last two decades (13,950) by James Powell, the former president of three prestigious American universities, found just 24 of them questioned whether climate change was real, and was caused by greenhouse gas emissions. The remaining 13,926 said climate change is happening and we're making it worse. That's a scientific consensus. Only conspiracy nuts who think the entire scientific community is one, big, powerful cabal don't understand a scientific consensus when they see one.
A major reason that Jindal, Cantor, and Rubio are all trying to tack in new directions is a simple but inescapable fact: they're confronted with a Tea Party movement that has embraced three recent anti-science stances that run counter to medical, environmental and social science.
[WATCH: Rand Paul Delivers Tea Party Response to SOTU]
There's the Todd Akin principle: that taking a pro-life stance means you also must believe that gynecological science isn't well-established or that medical science is somehow still evolving on the these sorts of questions. Recently, the co-chair of the House Republican Doctors Caucus, Rep. Phil Gingrey of Georgia, decided to defend the Akin principle at a local Chamber of Commerce breakfast in his district.
"(Akin) said that in a situation of rape, of a legitimate rape, a woman's body has a way of shutting down so the pregnancy would not occur. He's partly right on that. It is true," Gingrey said, according to a report in the Marietta Daily Journal. "We tell infertile couples all the time that are having trouble conceiving because of the woman not ovulating, 'Just relax. Drink a glass of wine. And don't be so tense and uptight, because all that adrenaline can cause you not to ovulate.'"
The problem here is that it isn't true. Two medical societies quickly refuted Gingrey. "While chronic stress, for example from extreme exposure to famine or war, may decrease a woman's ability to conceive, there is no scientific evidence that adrenaline, experienced in an acute stress situation, has an impact on ovulation," said the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists. And from the American Society for Reproductive Medicine: "There isn't any proof that stress causes infertility."
And then there is pejorative term "anchor babies" that has inflamed the immigration reform debate. Two years ago, GOP senators Lindsey Graham, Jon Kyl, John McCain, Jeff Sessions, and Mitch McConnell called for hearings on whether the 14th Amendment should be re-written to stop the automatic right of "birthright citizenship" because of the fear that illegal immigrants were having babies on American soil as a path to citizenship for the extended family.
[NEWMAN: 7 Big Economic Reforms Obama Is Ignoring]
Graham has said he'd like to amend the 14th Amendment—which passed to assure citizenship for the babies of freed slaves after the American Civil War—in order to make it clear that babies born in the U.S. don't receive automatic citizenship. "People come here to have babies. They come here to drop a child. It's called 'drop and leave,'" Graham told Fox News host Greta Van Susteren in 2010.
The problem here is that social science and economic surveys indicate something else entirely: people come to the U.S. illegally for jobs, not to have "anchor babies." Pew Hispanic Center reports clearly show that immigration patterns match the rise and fall of the American economy. "All the data suggests that people come here to work," Pew senior demographer Jeffrey Passel told PolitiFact. "If people came here to have babies, the flows would be pretty constant, and they are not." What's more, Passel said, the numbers of illegal men significantly outnumber the numbers of illegal women of child-bearing age.
And Princeton University social science researcher Douglas Massey conducted 159 extended, in-depth interviews with Latin American immigrants for a book and asked about their reasons for coming to the U.S. "No one ever mentioned having kids in the U.S.," Massey told PolitiFact. "I've been surveying Mexican immigrants to the U.S. for 30 years... and (they) are motivated by economic problems at home."
Despite all this, the notion of "anchor babies" spreads like a virus across the immigration debate and poisons the well for any sort of serious discussion. Democracy functions when both national parties hold true to evidence, facts and science, and then debate action or consequences from there.
The Tea Party wing of the GOP has been at the plate to take ferocious swings at three bedrock principles of medical, environmental and social science undergirding the abortion, climate and immigration debates. And they whiffed, mostly out of willful ignorance. So the logical question is this: whatever happened to three strikes and you're out?

Plantains are a starchy, unsweet variety of banana that are inedible raw and must be cooked before eating. Most are larger and slightly more angular in shape than 'sweet' bananas. They can be green, yellow, pink or very dark in colour depending on their variety and ripeness.
Some supermarkets sell plantains; they're also sold in ethnic markets.
Plantains are cooked green, semi-ripe or fully-ripe. Treat them like a starchy vegetable and use in savoury or sweet dishes. Before cooking, peel by top and tailing the fruit, then cut along the angles of the skin and pull the skin away in strips.
Plantains can be simmered in soup or turned into mash, but their subtle taste is maximised by roasting or frying. They act as a foil to rich flavours such as spicy meat or bean stews. Salted fried plantain chips are a popular snack in the Caribbean.
Caribbean, South American and African cookbooks are good sources for plantain recipes.

Oct. 15, 1987
ONEONTA — Joanne McCook of Morris, a Fox Hospital employee for 16 years, has been named director of volunteers and coordinator of the Lifeline program there.
She succeeds Nancy Raeder of Roxbury, who resigned to become Mrs. Walter Voxbrink.
Ms. McCook is a graduate of the Otsego Area School of Practical Nursing. She has worked at Fox Hospital as a licensed practical nurse six years and as a pharmacy technician for five years. She was the hospital's first intravenous technician and was also employed in the purchasing department five years, becoming manager of the department.
Ms. McCook applied for the position of director of volunteers as a new challenge.
"I personally needed a change of pace," she said. "I missed working with patients and others in the hospital. I looked at this position as an opportunity to get back with people. It's a lateral move for me, but a whole different ball game."
As coordinator of volunteers, she schedules individuals for various jobs, filling requests for help from several departments. She coordinates the Junior Volunteer program and the new volunteer patient aide program.
"The patient volunteer aides provide patients with a little extra help — things that nurses do not have time for, like watering plants, running errands, getting a box of tissues when it is needed. Two of the volunteers are men, and their help is especially appreciated by some men patients. For instance, a man in a wheel chair may prefer to be pushed by another man than by a 100-pound woman."
50 years ago
SCHENEVUS — Dr. William A. Broder, dentist from Elmira, will take over Dr. Otto Weil's home at 4 Main St., Schenevus, for the practice of dentistry in the near future.
He received a B.S. degree from the College of the City of New York in 1923 and his D.D.S. degree from Columbia University Dental School in 1927.
He was on the teaching and research staff of the histology department of Columbia Dental School in 1931 and 1932. He has also been oral surgeon on the staffs of the General Hospital and the Will Rogers Hospital, both in Saranac Lake.
Dr. Broder organized and became secretary-treasurer of the Finger Lakes Society of Clinical Hypnosis.

Eric Wood doesn't want to be one of those athletes who makes a provocative statement and backpedals from it later. The Bills' center said Wednesday that he stands behind his comments on his Monday radio show on 97 Rock, when he called the Toronto series "a joke" and said he hoped the Bills wouldn't renew the series.
"I was heated when I said it was a joke," said Wood, who also said he expects to suit up and play Sunday in Miami. "I'm not going to stand here and retract my statements, because it's what I meant and what I felt.
"I do understad we have a small market," Wood said, "and we would have struggled to sell tickets. But it was 55 and sunny on Sunday. We're not going to get better weather than that. It stunk that we were up there."
Wood, who was out with a left knee injury, watched the Bills' 50-17 loss to Seattle in his living room. He didn't kick in the TV set, but he was furious about the game and the fact it was being played in Canada instead of Orchard Park. He was tempted to make his feelings known on social media.
"I wrote and deleted about three tweets during the game," he said, "kind of using that 10-second rule. It was probably for the best. It kind of ticked me off. The way I look at is was, last week we were still in (playoff) hunt, and we've got a team traveling from the West Coast and we make them real comfortable. They get on a plane to play in Toronto, in a dome, without much crowd noise.
"You provide comfort that shouldn't happen when you travel to Buffalo," Wood said. "You should have a cold, uncomfortable feeling when people come in. That's our advantage. We go up in that dome and we let them feel really comfortable. They had a crucial third down in the first quarter where they run regular cadence. That just doesn't happen in Ralph Wilson. I don't care, there's been times there were 40,000 people in there (at Ralph Wilson Stadium), and they're still not running regular cadence on third down in the first quarter."
Wood agreed with my conclusion that the games in Toronto are actually worse than road games, because you don't have the customary negative energy of a hostile road crowd to feed off.
"Yeah," he said. "We played down in Houston and that might have been the loudest atmosphere I've played in as a pro. Either that or the opener at Kansas City last year. Those games, we're feeding off energy. It's a hostile environment, but at least you have some energy."
Wood said he's ready to play after missing two games. When he learned that his left knee injury wasn't serious a couple of weeks ago, he targeted Miami as his comeback game. The Bills' playoff hopes were faint when he got hurt, but he told Buddy Nix he couldn't miss a playoff game if they actually got in.
"There's a risk of injury whenever you place yourself on the field," Wood said. "I wanted to show this organization that even if I'm dinged up, I'm going to fight to come back, no matter what."
Wood said he's almost certain he'll play against the Dolphins. "I feel I can play," he said, "so I'd say there's a 100 percent chance I'd suit up, or maybe 95 percent. But I'll make a more accurate decision tomorrow."
"This is still the old Bills-Dolphins rivalry. We have a lot of things to play for. I know playoffs are not one of them, but it would be nice to reward the fans who have supported us so well by beating the Dolphins twice."

The Barrington 220 Board of Education understands members of the Barrington Education Association have authorized a potential work stoppage. We know this was a difficult and emotional decision for our teachers given the constructive and collaborative contract negotiations of the past eight months.
The Board of Education remains optimistic an agreement is forthcoming to continue a standard of quality and fairness that satisfies our teachers as well as our taxpayers.
The Board of Education is participating in these ongoing deliberations with a focus on fiscal responsibility and competitive compensation. We are again committed to balancing the budget on behalf of our constituents – including our teachers – despite economic uncertainties, unstable state revenues and an unclear legislative future.
Barrington 220 is a respected school system because of its high-achieving students, supportive taxpayers and especially because of its exceptional teachers and staff. The emphasis we give to learning and achievement is underscored by the value we place on the outstanding educators in our classrooms.
The preliminary actions and message of the BEA regarding a possible work stoppage do not mean families should make contingency childcare plans or that an unfortunate disruption to instruction is imminent. It simply means the Board of Education and the BEA have more work to do within the openminded and practical approach we have taken from the start. We believe maintaining this commitment with additional time and flexibility will be mutually beneficial to students, staff and stakeholders in Barrington 220.

Semper Fidelis
Always Faithful. Always a Marine.
Latin for "always faithful," Semper Fidelis is more than the Marine Corps motto. Becoming a Marine is becoming the always faithful—true to the mission, to the Marines by your side, to the Corps, to your country.

Every role critical to success
All Marines have a specific role for which they are optimally trained in support of the overall mission. And while each role comes with different responsibilities, the end results are accomplishing the mission.

Meeting with a Recruiter
There is no better way to get a clear picture of life in the Marine Corps than with a knee-cap to knee-cap conversation with a recruiter who's served.

Product Description
Useful for personal study, as well as for preaching and teaching (Hamilton even includes helpful charts and tables to highlight key themes and literary elements), the thirty-seven sermons in Revelation: The Spirit Speaks to the Churches have a clear structure: introduction, body, and conclusion. Hamilton successfully grabs the reader's attention, raises awareness of a real need, and states the main point of the sermon text. In addition to explaining the meaning of each passage, Hamilton connects the main ideas to applicable analogies and actionable points. Revelation is a prophecy of epic proportions and Hamilton invites readers to love God and his people by expositing this revelation of Jesus, and to say along with the apostle John, "Come, Lord Jesus."

Author Bio
James M. Hamilton Jr. (PhD, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary) is associate professor of biblical theology at The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary and preaching pastor at Kenwood Baptist Church. He is the author of God's Glory in Salvation through Judgment and the Revelation volume in the Preaching the Word commentary series.
R. Kent Hughes (DMin, Trinity Evangelical Divinity School) is senior pastor emeritus of College Church in Wheaton, Illinois. He has authored numerous books for Crossway, including Disciplines of a Godly Man, and is the series editor and a contributor to the popular Preaching the Word series. Hughes is also a founder of the Charles Simeon Trust, which conducts expository preaching conferences throughout North America and worldwide. He now lives on the West Coast with his wife, Barbara, and is the father of four and grandfather of an ever-increasing number of grandchildren.
-Michael Wittmer,
Professor of Systematic and Historical Theology, Cornerstone University
In a day when most preachers appear to be terrified by the prospects of preaching any text beyond the third chapter of the Apocalypse, I find Dr. James Hamiltons Revelation: The Spirit Speaks to the Churches to be an oasis in the wilderness. Though my own interpretation of the book is light years removed from that of Professor Hamilton, the purity of his love for Christ, for his church, and for the Word of God makes every page a delight to read regardless of his eschatological position.
-Paige Patterson,
President, Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary

Airing It Out — Michael Vick forgives; why can't you?
If the statement below came from anyone else other than Michael Vick, we would glance over it, miss the potential lesson that we could learn (or be reminded of) and not think about how impactful it could be if we all did what Vick did. When asked about his teammate Riley Cooper, who used a racial slur while at a concert, Vick told reporters this: "As a team we understood because we all make mistakes in life and we all do and say things that maybe we do mean and maybe we don't mean. But as a teammate, I forgave him… Continue reading

PUTNAM COUNTY, W.Va. (WSAZ) -- A FedEx tractor-trailer carrying thousands of pounds of steel cable rolled over Monday evening at the corner of W.Va. 34 and Hurricane Creek Road.
The driver told WSAZ.com he was turning off of W.Va. 34 when his load shifted, causing the semi to overturn. It happened about 7:15 p.m. Monday.
No one was hurt in the accident.
Part of that intersection is closed until the tractor-trailer can be removed.

Exploring Advancement, from Personal to Technological
It's been a great couple of weeks in NYC for events with women business leaders. Last Thursday, I joined over 100 technology and media pros at the IAB AdLab to hear leadership insights from three women who shaped their own unique career paths: Sharon Feder, COO of Mashable, Laurel Touby, founder of Mediabistro, and Tania Lynn, Partner of Deloitte.
The event, hosted by the networking group wimlink ("connecting media and technology professionals, entrepreneurs, innovators and disrupters") and wimlink founder Tania Yuki was a good time all around – informative, fun (plenty of wine and snacks), open and collaborative.
My favorite piece of advice came from Feder, who in four short years advanced from Assistant Editor to Managing Editor to Publisher to Chief Operating Officer at Mashable. How did she do it?
According to Feder, she always asked these two questions: Can I do more? Can I build this?
Asking if she could do more meant asking people to take a chance on her. But since Feder made sure she always brought a solid track record of previous accomplishments to the table, people (including Mashable CEO and Founder Pete Cashmore, who replied to one of her proposed projects in an email with "Sure, go for it!") were willing to do that.
Employees at every level are moving a mile a minute in today's hyper-connected world. Even the best leaders can't keep their eyes on every business-building opportunity. Constructive leaders rely on their team to stand up and act when more can be done.
Although you wouldn't know it, Feder said she wasn't confident growing up. But she learned quickly after entering the workforce that she had nothing to lose and only opportunity to gain from confidence: "Why not have it? What do we risk?
So maybe we should all be asking ourselves more often: Can I do more? Can I build this? If you've tried this at your workplace, chime in here to let us know how it worked out.
Interested in attending future wimlink events? Join the Meetup group to learn more. Want to hear more from Sharon Feder? She and a great line-up of thought leaders in the digital space will be speaking at the upcoming Mashable Connect in May.
I definetely think this the better way to go as far as finding out what the consumers really want to watch because a lot of times i have been browsing thru the channels on cable to find the same old shows running. After all how many time do you need to watch the same episode before you know the plot inside out. It also allows people to view entertainment that may not be available in there area. This is a great way to connect across the country.
Awesome Sharon, it's truly how we can all succeed in life, and not just in the workplace! And if you have a boss who doesn't appreciate your ideas, or feels threatened by your go-getter attitude… find a new boss!

Delivering Effective Presentations with OpenOffice.org's Impress
As a Linux techno-guru, you recently have been volunteered to give a talk at a high-profile industry conference. Your stomach starts to churn as you realize that you might have to learn Microsoft PowerPoint. Oh, the humiliation! Fear not, OpenOffice.org Impress runs on your Linux box. Think how calm you'll be in front of all those people knowing that your trusted old friend Linux is right there at the other end of your wireless mouse.
Technical presentations are about transferring knowledge to the audience. The content is the show, you are the showman and the presentation technologies are the showbiz tools. Laptops, graphics, projectors, lights and presentation software all serve to organize the show and focus audience attention on the content.
As a techie myself, I know that technology is a siren call to be explored and fiddled with. We have to resist the temptation to tweak for now, though; we have a show to put on. Here, I discuss the basics of building a slideshow with OpenOffice.org Impress and a few ways to get your show organized. Then, I throw in a few power tips, so you will look like a pro in front of your adoring audience.
The OpenOffice.org Impress package lets you quickly construct and deliver an electronic slide presentation. With it, you can add graphics, make handouts and convert your slides to Web pages. It can do all the jobs needed to put on a great presentation. You simply add your content and personal style.
Loading OpenOffice.org Impress onto your Linux machine is simple. You might have OpenOffice.org already installed. Otherwise, go to www.openoffice.org and download the latest version; version 1.1 is around 77MB. The .gz file can be unzipped and put in its own directory. Then, run the setup file, fill in the blanks and you're ready to go.
You don't need a 3.0GHz laptop to run Impress. It runs fine on old 166MHz Pentium desktops with an 8MB video card and KDE or FVWM2 X window managers.
Fire up OpenOffice.org Impress and take a spin through the program. Let's first look at some basic functions and then come back and get our content organized. The easiest way to start a new presentation is with the AutoPilot feature, which provides a basic beginning framework. Graphics, text, animation and formatting can be added after you enter your content.
To build a presentation, click File→New→Presentation. In the next window, select Empty Presentation and then click Next. This next window lets you choose backgrounds. Click Next for a window that lets you choose slide transitions. Our first presentation doesn't have any transition effects and is controlled manually by the Page Up/Page Down keys or the mouse, so click Create. The Insert Slide window should appear here. It lets you select the slide layout. For our first sample, use the layout style named Title, Graphic, Text. Highlight that layout, click OK and watch your first slide appear (Figure 1).
This first slide offers you a place to enter your slide title, a picture on the left and your bullet points on the right. Using the default font size, the bullet point area forces you to work with only four or five lines. That's good because many experienced presenters put too much information on a slide. Use the slides and bullet points for a prompt and tell the story in your own words. By doing so, your audience sees you as an expert who thoroughly knows the subject.
The exercise of creating the first slide should take about 5–10 minutes. I intentionally went through the entire process because I wanted to get you right into the Impress program. Knowing how to build a basic slide provides you with the understanding necessary to organize your talk and build subsequent slides.
Forget about outlining your talk on paper; use Impress itself. Brainstorm your ideas logically, using the titles as main topics, each topic being a new slide, and put three or four bullet points under each topic for the details. You can rearrange and edit them after you've laid out all the material.
Adding a slide is easy. Start by clicking Insert→Slide. Select the type of slide and then click OK. Your slide shows up on the screen, and you can enter text or whatever you want. To duplicate the last slide, click Insert→Duplicate Slide. Now you're ready to add some text. Click the Text icon on the upper-left edge of the main Impress design window. Move the cursor to the slide and left-click a location. Now, type in your text. You can move the text to another location by dragging the middle of the text box. To resize the text, highlight and choose a new size in the point size space, at the top of the design window.
Adding graphics is equally as easy. Click Insert→Graphics, and select the graphic file to use. Click OK and the file is pulled into the slide. Resize the graphic by grabbing a side and moving the edge. To move the graphic, grab it in the middle and reposition to the desired location.
Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

Denim Circle Pillow- Tutorial, Part 2
**If you missed Part 1, go HERE (Part I)
Now, we're ready to assemble the pillow front.
Make sure you have the following supplies ready:
-16 (5") fabric squares
-16 (4") batting squares
-your 4 previously created rows of denim circles
-thread to match the denim
1. Work on one row at a time. Center each batting square in a denim circle.
There is no need to measure, just approximate the center of the circle.
2. Next, center the fabric squares over the batting squares. Again, approximate the
center and in this case, the fabric WILL be too big for the circle but the excess will
not matter. Just smooth the excess fabric up the sides of the flaps.
3. Pin each flap down in preparation for sewing.
Notice that you cannot see the excess fabric because it has been tucked up
underneath the flaps.
4. Start sewing!
Begin with the first pair of pinned flaps.
Sew down one side, pivot (this is easier if you keep the needle in the down
position) and sew around the other side. Backstitch at both ends.
I like to use about a 3/8" seam allowance. The seam allowance
should be big enough to clip later.
Do this for all four rows.
5. NOW…let's put all of the rows together!
Use a ruler that is at least as long as your row of circles (I used a 24" ruler).
Measure 1" from the edge of the circles and draw a line.
(Again, no one will see this line so use any kind of marking device you
would like.)
6. With WRONG sides together, pin this row to the next one.
Make sure that in both rows, the fabric squares are facing the OUTSIDE, wrong sides
Sew along this line. Backstitch at both ends of the row and reinforce each curve by
sewing back and forth over the line.
Reinforce at corners.
8. Press open the seam and then sew the other two rows together just as you did above.
You should now have two identical sections composed of two rows each.
9. Sew down the flaps in both sections. Use an approximate 3/8" seam
I have found that the easiest way to do this is to sew in a figure eight pattern,
down one side and up the other.
When you get to one end, leave the needle in the fabric, turn and sew back down the
other side.
You are basically following a figure eight pattern. (*see picture below)
10. Join the two sections together in exactly the same fashion as above.
Measure 1" from the edge and draw a line. Pin the two sections together and sew on the
line. REMEMBER, wrong sides together (fabric facing outward).
**Backstitch at both ends and reinforce at the circle corners.
11. Press the flaps open and flat. Sew the flaps down. Again, use a figure eight pattern
and a 3/8" seam allowance.
12. Trimming the Pillow Top.
Measure 1" from all four edges of the pillow top, in this case it is not necessary to
draw a line. Cut away and discard the 1" circle edges.
14. Check the size of your finished square. You will probably need to square it up so
that it is the same width in both directions.
You will want your pillow top to be somewhere between 17 1/2" - 17 3/4". Any smaller
and you may have problems getting your pillow form to fit.
On to finishing the pillow! You will not do the actual clipping of the seams until the back is attached.
For the last step you will need:
-1/2 yard of backing fabric
-18" pillow form
-spring loading scissors (or regular sharp fabric scissors will also work)
-stiff cleaning brush (optional)

I'm loving your tutorial, but I have a question: If the charm squares are a little too big and the sides have to be smoothed up the sides of the flaps, why not just cut the squares a little smaller? I'm probably not visualizing this very well in my mind.
I saw a quilt similar to this once, but the raw edges of the circles were satin stitched down instead of clipped and frayed. That must have used up a lot of thread! So I think I like your pattern better.
- October 14, 2011 at 5:10 PM
- Heather said...
Yes, you're right!!! If you cut the squares at 4 1/2" they will fit perfectly and you won't have that overhang.
I really debated putting this in and probably will go back and do so.
The reason I used the 5" is because I was working with charm squares. With the pillow, it's really not a big deal to cut 16 squares.
With the quilt, however, there are a lot more squares to cut so I usually use charm squares for convenience.
Thank you SO much for pointing this out. I will make this change so hopefully, others won't be confused!
If you make a pillow, I would LOVE to see it!
Heather :)

- Catholic Bibliophagist said...
Ah, charm squares! I never buy precut squares or strips so it hadn't occurred to me that you were using them. Yes, I can see where that would definitely save a lot of cutting.
I'm going to try making at least a pillow as soon as I finish my current project because I've been saving jeans for quite a while. (I'm doing the Crumb Quilt-Along at Jo's Country Junction.)
- October 19, 2011 at 9:29 AM
- Heather said...
I wasn't thinking this through enough! I should have been more clear about what I was using! :)
Thank you for bringing this up.
Oh, the crumb quilts! Good for you. What a great use of all of those little pieces.
Best of luck on finishing it and I hope the pillow goes together well too!

I think that it is good that you have the fabric bigger. I made a sample and I used the same size fabric and batting and you could see the batting sticking out in some places. I thought that you had bigger square to prevent that from happening. I'm going to try a new sample with the bigger square on top.
- February 14, 2012 at 5:05 AM
- Heather said...
Hi Michelle,
I'm glad you are trying the tutorial. Thanks for the feedback on the batting. Yes, I didn't like the batting sticking out either. Also, by making it smaller than the fabric there are less layers to sew through when putting the flaps down. So many things to consider! :)
- February 19, 2012 at 4:56 PM

Thanks for the great idea! I just received the rag 12 1/2" circle die for Christmas for my accuquilt studio cutter and now know what my first project will be. Enjoyed your tutorial as well, felt it was very clear instructions and I will recommend it to some of my older women I teach quilting to.

I am visiting our local mission's Thrift Shop...they put boxes just inside the store entry of "give away"s. I just pull the larger sizes in heavy denim (no stretch or light weight) wash and cannibalize. I am careful to take only the ones that no one would want, I am saving the seams to make a tote I saw on you-tube where you zig zag them together (like a rag rug). Then I keep the really ratty pieces to chop up and use in paper making. Only throwing away the waistbands and zipper portion. (maybe I will keep some zippers to try those trendy rose embellishements). I even kept the back "butt" area of a larger pair to add a ruffle and a sash in the loops of the waistband to make a cute apron using red bandana print.

I came across this tutorial one day when I googled scrap denim quilts (I've been saving for quite some time). I don't use throw pillows much in my home, but once I saw this I thought it would make a lovely handbag, so I've modified this tutorial to make a bag instead of a pillow. I'll post pictures when it's done.

Tony Winner Levi Kreis Stars in Free Readings of Billie and Billy Nov. 16-17 in Chicago
By Michael Gioia
About Face Theatre Company kicks off its new Out Front Series, a year-round collection of free public readings and developmental workshops, with Billie and Billy, starring Tony Award winner Levi Kreis.
Billie and Billy, by AFT artistic associate Paul Oakley Stovall, is offered Nov. 16-17 at 7:30 PM at the American Theater Company in Chicago.
Directed by Krissy Vanderwarker with original music by Brad Simmons, the work features Kreis (Million Dollar Quartet) and Kristina Valada-Viers.
Here's how it's billed: "The divide between different cultures and ethnicities, between men and women, between straight and gay in America can be a great one. Using only two characters, Paul Oakley Stovall aims to present what seems to be a tiny little drama, set in a small city apartment and the empty flat across the hall. As Billie and Billy form an unexpected bond, their lives begin to intersect in strange ways. The audience is invited to explore with them: our need for companionship, our desire to solve the mysteries of existence and the ways in which we see ourselves in the eyes of others. Billie and Billy explores the similarities ignored, our common needs and desires and the mutual ground we walk upon."
Out Front will continue with The Good Private, by AFT artistic associate Tanya Saracho and featuring songs by Tamara Roberts, Dec. 14-15 at The National Pastime Theater in the Preston Bradley Center. Wendy C. Goldberg will direct.
The American Theater Company is located at 1909 W. Byron Street in Chicago. For reservations, call (773) 784-8565 or click here. For more information, visit AboutFaceTheatre.com.

kurt cobain and the elusive green sweater
If there is anything I know – it's that artists are insecure. I remember when Kurt Cobain made insecurity fashionable with his slouchy, second-hand cardigan. That sweater sent hoards of insecure, angst-ridden, middle-class teenage boys on pilgrimage in search of the perfect replica. It had to be from Goodwill. It had to be dirty enough to make you nervous about wearing it the first couple of times. And it needed to be a really terrible color. The sort of color that one might find in the baby food aisle of the grocery store. The real gems were pea green or that weird 1970's mustard-brown-yellow. Anyone lucky enough to find one that had recently been removed from a dead senior citizen was instantly made the lead singer and principle songwriter in the band. Ahhh yes, the early 90's, when all you needed to cover up your insecurities and start writing your own songs was a pea-green cardigan and a crappy attitude. I never had any trouble with the attitude, but I could never find the sweater, which is why I spent my formative years playing drums.
The times have changed, but the issues of the heart have not. Insecurity is a real killer when it comes to songwriting. It causes us to mistrust ourselves and everything that we make, which is why so many of us have such a hard time finishing anything – by the time we're half-way through we have turned such a harsh, critical eye to our work that we no longer have the strength to finish. After all, why work so hard on such "junk"?
Insecurity also makes us hyper-critical of others. The only thing easier than beating up our own attempts at writing is setting our pain on everyone else. Competition and comparison are two of the major tributaries of insecurity. The tragedy is that these toxic rivers kill community – and community is one of the key ingredients in developing a creative culture where expression thrives.
We are all wearing our insecurities like Goodwill cardigan sweaters – unflattering layers that cover and conceal our true selves. It's time to take these fashion faux pas to the dumpster.
Today, we should have an honest conversation with God. Allow him to speak his word over all your fears and insecurities – especially those that have caused your creative muscles to atrophy.
A prayer for today:
Father, I'm letting go of fear.
I'm letting go of comparison and competition.
You are my security.
I am who you say I am.

Rumor: Apple planning to double battery capacity in iPad 3, January release [Update]
Hit-or-miss rumor site Digitimes is reporting that Apple plans on doubling the size of the battery in the the iPad 3, and moreover, that Apple will release it as soon as next month.
The battery capacity for the high-end version of Apple's new iPad - due to be unveiled in January 2012 - will be increased to 14,000mAH compared to 6,500mAH used currently, according to industry sources.
As always, take these rumors with a Macworld|iWorld expo sized grain of salt. Digitimes' "sources" also mentioned that Apple will debut two separate models of the iPad, one for the high-end market and the other filling in the mid-range segment. While 7-inch iPad persist, keeping the iPad 2 around the way the previous year's iPhone is usually kept around could be another alternative.
As to a January launch, that feels more like a rumor designed to hurt current iPad sales than anything fitting Apple's previous release patterns. Curious how those keep popping up, isn't it?
UPDATE: Jim Dalrymple from The Loop, whose sources are excellent, says there's nothing to see here. No iPad 3 at Macworld or CES, and no Apple Televisions either. [The Loop]
Source: Digitimes
There are 11 comments. Add yours.
How bout a "grain of mustard seed" for a change no?
Oh god. that alone would force me to upgrade from Dos!
Although I would like the increase in the already very long lasting iPad 2 battery, I don't believe Apple will be debuting two different 2012 iPad 3 models. A very similiar rumor was floating around on the digital airwaves about the rumored iPhone 5 - that there would be an iPhone 5 and a smaller and cheaper iPhone 4. It never happened. We got the iPhone 4S. Since Apple seems to always, if not mostly, upgrade thier existing models and sell them as iPod X, iPhone X, and iPad X it seems reasonable to conclude that the battery enhancement rumor may hold some water. Albeit, Mustn't we forget that Steve Jobs, RIP, is no longer running Apple, unfortunately. So with that fact in mind it appears there's no distinct way of predicting in which direction Apple Inc. will be heading and whether it will last under the new leadership of Tim Cook.
It amazes me that any rumor, however founded always ends up on this site, and always with the 'punch if salt' opt out clause. I can't imagine what would need to be on offer from ipad3 to be worth upgrading. The battery on my ipad2 lasts for ever.
Wish they would concentrate on fixing the bugs in IOS5 first, or atleast let people downgrade back to IOS4 until they do.
Do you believe that the same team deals with hardware & software because I don't
Ive said it before and I'll say it again:
If Apple is the first to break out new battery tech in their devices, they are going to hold the spotlight in the tech world for another 5 years. This is the one area that ALL mobile devices lack in. There hasn't been advancements in a long time.
If Apple were to double capacity and keep it thin. It would game over for everyone else.
iPad 1 - Announced January 2010, Released April 2010
iPad 2 - Announced March 2011, Released March 2011
doesn't take a crystal ball to figure out the general pattern (March/April 2012)
Yeah Timmy go for it! I'm holding out for iPad 3 hoping it has retina display and a better battery!
Both new releases are rumored to have retina display with great resolution and both 8 and 5 megapixel cameras: http://bit.ly/vsfWk4

This is wonderful dish. I used whole wheat penne,passion fruit cider and a few extra garlic cloves in mine we loved it! I can't wait to make it for quick drop in company. So easy and so Good.
Mary T
I am going to give this 3 stars right now but that may change once I fix it again but only a littl differently. I had to do some research on what Hard Dry Cider and I found out is something like an apple wine, the "Hard" is a way of saying that it is an alcoholic drink so since I did not have any of that I used a dry white wine and did not change the amount. This is what I will do different next time...use a different wine and cut down the amount, cook the pasta only 7 minutes and then add the shrimp and let it cook. Reason why is because the pasta was over cooked at 15 minutes and the extra cooking time for the shrimp just added to the over cooking. My husband like it so I will fix it again with these changes. Thanks
Lisa A.
This recipe is GREAT! It reminds me of a pasta I get from a restaurant called Pizza Mizza. I added in a few extra garlic cloves and bacon to the recipe and omitted the celery. I must say again it was fabulous!
