Calling all headbangers! This quick-drying pinata can be made in an afternoon and provides the perfect high point for your Halloween celebration. Brush it with a coat of glow-in-the-dark paint for a fabulously eerie effect in low light. When it's time to play, use a whiffle bat instead of a broomstick and be sure to keep spectators out of harm's way.
Cover your work space with newspaper. Inflate the balloon to 12 inches in diameter. Cut two 1- by 8-inch lengths of plaster cloth and set them aside. Cut the rest of the plaster roll into 5-inch pieces.
Dip a 5-inch plaster piece in water and let the excess drip off into the pan. Smooth the piece onto the balloon. Repeat, overlapping the pieces, until the balloon is covered, but leave a 2- by 4-inch opening around the knot. Apply extra pieces around the opening to reinforce the edge.
Set the balloon upright on a bowl and let the wet plaster harden (about 30 minutes in a sunny spot). Then pop and remove the balloon.
Insert the cardboard into the opening as shown (trim it if necessary). Apply plaster pieces so that the cardboard is covered and secured to the balloon. Let it dry.
Paint on the facial features with black paint and let them dry for 15 minutes.
Cut the craft sticks in half and glue them in place as teeth.
Wet the two 8-inch plaster strips, then use them to cover the sticks' cut ends. Let the strips dry for about 30 minutes.
Use the foam brush to coat the entire skull with glow-in-the-dark paint and let it dry for 15 minutes.
Position the tea lights inside the skull behind the eyes, then poke the bulbs through the plaster. Secure the lights with duct tape, leaving the on-off switch exposed.
To attach the hanging cord, wrap one end of the cord with duct tape, folding it to create a plug shape. Use strips of duct tape to reinforce the inside and outside of the skull at its top center, then with a craft knife, poke a hole through the center of the tape. Pull the cord through the hole until the plug stops it.
Before the party, switch on the eyes, fill the pinata with candy, and use white duct tape to seal the bottom hole. (If you have extra plaster, you can apply some over the tape, letting it dry for 30 minutes.) Hang the pinata from a secure hook, beam, or branch.

Day 72/100
Rosby's Greenhouse and Raspberry Farm
I've been coming here for years to pick raspberries. It's in Parma/Brooklyn Heights, so it's a lot easier to get to than a lot of the farms that are further out on the east or west side. I've been making Rosby's own raspberry coffee cake recipe every year with my fresh raspberries and making jam with the rest. I don't think that recipe is in the Rosby store anymore, but luckily I still have it (and I'm making it tonight)! If you're interested in trying the best coffee cake ever, here's the recipe:
3 cups fresh raspberries
1 cup + 3 tsp sugar, divided
1/4 cup cornstarch
2 cups biscuit mix
2/3 cup milk
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 eggs
1 package (3.4 ounce) instant vanilla pudding mix
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup cold butter or margarine
Combine cornstarch and 1 cup of the sugar in a saucepan. Add raspberries. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Boil 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and allow to cool.
In a mixing bowl, combine biscuit mix, milk, eggs, oil, and remaining sugar. Mix well. Spread two-thirds of the batter into greased 13x9x2 inch baking pan. Spread with raspberry mixture. Spoon remaining batter over the top.
For topping, combine pudding mix and sugar. Cut in butter until crumbly; sprinkle over batter.
Bake at 350 degrees for 35-40 minutes.
Yield: 12 servings.
Raspberry season just started two weeks ago and will last all the way until Halloween, so you have plenty of time to spend an hour or two picking a few pints! Bug spray is recommended.

More from Malicious Dick's Jesus in the Wal-Mart receipt series. I like The Dude, personally.
His explanation of why he decided to play around with this is quite enlightening. Don't let the radio handle fool you - he's a vegetarian, very progressive, and a Buddhist. He'll be moving to Seattle shortly, and I'll miss him here in Wyoming.
Thanks for the giggles, my friend!

Friends of Marathon bombing suspect indicted
A pair of friends of alleged Boston Marathon bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev were indicted by a federal grand jury on Thursday on charges that they obstructed the investigation into the deadly attack.
A federal grand jury returned a two-count indictment against Azamat Tazhayakov and Dias Kadyrbayev, both 19, that charges them with conspiracy to obstruct justice and obstruction of justice, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office. Both men are nationals of Kazakhstan and lived in New Bedford on student visas.
The two teens met Tsarnaev while attending UMass Dartmouth.
They are accused of discarding items allegedly related to bomb-making that were in Tsarnaev's room.
According to the indictment, Tazhayakov and Kadyrbayev "entered Dzhokhar Tsarnaev's dormitory room, removed several items from the room, including Tsarnaev's laptop computer and a backpack containing fireworks," and discarded them.
More than 30 agents searched a landfill in the days following the bombing to find the backpack. In it they found fireworks, a jar of Vaseline, a thumb drive and a UMass Dartmouth homework assignment sheet.
On April 18, the day before Tsarnaev and his older brother Tamerlan got into a gun battle with police in Watertown, he allegedly sent Kadyrbayev a test message that was shown to Tazhayakov.
Tsarnaev's text message said, according to the indictment, "If yu [sic] want yu [sic] can go to my room and take what's there☺ but ight [sic] bro [sic] Salam aleikum."
The Tsarnaev brothers are accused of setting off a pair of bombs on Boylston Street during the Boston Marathon on April 15. Three people were killed and more than 260 were injured. Dzhokhar Tsarnaev has pleaded not guilty.
Tazhayakov and Kadyrbayev were previously charged in a criminal complaint May 1.
A date has not yet been set for their arraignment.

Located on the Warrego Highway 587 kilometres west of Brisbane and 176 kilometres east of Charleville, the town of Mitchell marks the Gateway to Queensland"s Outback. The town, on the banks of the Maranoa River, was named in honour of Sir Thomas Mitchell whose exploration of south-west Queensland led to the establishment of several towns in the region.
The town"s wide tree-lined streets and substantial colonial buildings reflect its early importance as the centre of a busy farming and pastoral district famous for its grains, beef and sheep. The town is rapidly becoming an important stop on the tourist route to Outback Queensland.
The Great Artesian Spa is the centrepiece of Mitchell and the wider Booringa Shire. The large open-air spa has been making a huge splash among visitors to Mitchell. The warm waters are said to relax the muscles, ease tension and revitalise both the body and the mind.
Once you"ve tried the Spa, why not go bird watching at the Neil Turner Weir on the Maranoa River or wet a line further upstream at Fisherman"s Rest? For those feeling more energetic, the Maranoa River Walk meanders along the Maranoa River. Be sure to look for the Graffiti Arts Project at the Maranoa River Bridge and view the series of fifteen murals entitled Booringa Past, Present, Future.
Visitors should also visit the Kenniff Courthouse which is where the infamous bushrangers Patrick and James Kenniff were committed to stand trial for the murder of a Policeman and Station Manager in 1902. Located seven kilometres south of Mitchell on the St. George Road, the Kenniff Statues depict the story of the trial and capture of the Kenniff Brothers.
If you are looking for an adventure, fun or just to relax, Mitchell has something to offer you.

China Council – U.S.
The China Council convenes senior executives of US companies who have a strategic interest in China and are concerned with developments affecting China's economic outlook, its policy and regulatory regime, its engagement with the global economy, and its evolving business environment for foreign investors.
Council meetings, which are held in the United States, offer members thought leading perspectives on China developments and the opportunity to discuss critical issues, share effective practices, and exchange insights on China's ever-changing regulatory and policy environment. Topics discussed include:
- The playing field for foreign companies in China
- The internationalization of "China Inc." How will the international extension of the RMB and an array of free trade agreements shape the business environment for MNCs in China and in the region?
- Structural imbalances and sources of economic instability
- The changing compliance environment How will new laws affect the operating environment for MNCs?
- Talent and leadership development What factors are shaping China's talent pool?
The power of peer learning
Enduring relationships with trusted peers, which are the core of the council experience, are enhanced by the participation of the China Center professional team, research partners, and institutional linkages. Confidential peer dialogue provides a broader perspective and shared experiences, as well as access to specific knowledge and best practices. The China Council delivers context, informed points of view, robust numbers and analytics, and big-picture perspectives on China's operating environment through meetings, an online discussion forum, and other resources.
Who should join?
Members of The China Council should be the most senior person(s) within the company who are based in the United States and whose strategy, planning, and/or supervisory responsibilities include China. Simply put, it is for executives who need to know China, but are not in China.
Program Director: David Hoffman, vice president & managing director, The Conference Board China Center for Economics and Business
Meeting information: The China Council generally meets in New York, NY. The Council meets twice per year in person for full-day meetings and twice per year via two-hour interactive webcasts.

So very terribly sad for you, Dawn. Your mother was a wonderful woman who raised a wonderful daughter. I am so thankful for your family's faith in Christ and the fact that because of it, they are with Him right now, and for all eternity. The Yoder family loves you and is here for you.
- November 28, 2009 at 2:12 AM
I am so sorry for this loss, Dawn. It has been a tremendously difficult time for you - but both Deron and your mom are now together with your father, and free from pain and sickness. Still, it is so hard to lose our loved ones during this short life here. I pray God will wrap you in His arms and hold you close, and that you will have much peace. Lean also on your memories of the great blessings of family in your life, both past and those to come.

Decorate with Books
Time Out Chicago Issue 184
We'd rather never read again than cover up our books' covers and spines (okay, slight exaggeration). Although we don't like its concept, the look is intriguing. Meant for those books you're embarrassed to have out, we say just get rid of 'em and save the shelf space for your awesome book collection with covers and spines to be ogled. A few other ideas from TOC below:
(All images and words via Time Out):
We found a copy of A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man at a college bookstore and framed the title page and a couple of other passages using an inexpensive Ribba frame from IKEA ($15).
If you have a book you know you're never going to read again, why not turn it into a sculpture for your wall? We got the idea when visiting Haystack in Lakeview. The vintage store sells book art (open books with folded pages that look like origami-meets-pop-up-books) by local artist Brian Heiser.
Read the full "Decorate with Books" article online here.
14 Comments
We live in strange times when people think books are unattractive but that macrame owls and ceramic giraffes are stylish.
not fond of ornamental use of books :-(
(with the possible exception of the Brian Heiser ...)
The brown paper covered books remind me too much of middle school when that was a required thing to do to protect our borrowed school copies of textbooks. Not really wanting to relive that.
I love the look and diversity of books, just as they are.
I do have to say the work Heiser does is quite eye-catching though.
Yikes! I hate the idea of cutting up a book. It's terrible. There are plenty of varieties of art without desecrating books.
I do like the look of the paper covered books!
It reminds of this friend I had, when I was 15, who covered all of her books in either pink or black paper, to go with the current color scheme of her tiny room...
Is it just me, or have there have been sooo many posts on this subject recently? I think the general consensus is that people like books, they broadly don't like to colour-code them (although some are fond of this look), and they definitely don't like them concealed, covered, turned back to front, or have their book-like nature subverted in any way. Can we all agree on this?
Here, here, Tallulah! MOVING ON......
well said, T :-)
Geez - If you don't like the way your books look - Just get rid of them!
This is a good idea for a college student with ugly textbooks in a small living space.
If you want color coded look alike books, just buy sets of encyclopedias! Books, in and of themselves, ARE art in my world.
Inetestingly - I had a friend with bi-polar disorder, and all the different spine colors of his books REALLY freaked him out and made him anxious. He covered all of his books with brown kraft paper and very neatly wrote the names in pen. It was a great solution to his problem and looked beautiful - a whole wall of gently rippling brown paper and understated black text. I would advocate that way more than organizing by color. Without the labels it seems kind of pointless.
brown paper!
now i can keep my signed, first edition copy of 'the divinci code' on my shelf without my friends thinking i'm a lowbrow. actually, i don't have that book, signed or unsigned... but the idea of covering your books with paper seems awful. how are you supposed to find what you are looking for?
aside from fiction, most of my books are graphic design and photography books that i like to reference often for inspiration.
looks kinda cool. but function before fashion.
I have seen ( Martha maybe?) cover books with Glassine. Since it is translucent you can still see your books but don't have to design around them.
Vellum would work just as well.

Residential Treatment Centers for Troubled Teens | Boys & Girls | Red Rock Canyon School
Red Rock Canyon School presents two separate therapeutic and educational residential treatment centers for troubled teens; one program for troubled boys and a separate program for troubled girls. Red Rock Canyon school is considered to be a residential treatment center for troubled teens, yet we are more appropriately described as a therapeutic boarding school.
Our residential treatment centers for boys and girls offer safe environments where teenagers get back on track emotionally, rebuilding their solid foundation through education, equipping them emotionally and academically to experience a strong future. For immediate help and support call 866-452-8121. Our Admissions Director is available to coach and guide you through your crisis, restoring hope through significant emotional support to boys and girls, as well as their parents.
"...At Red Rock Canyon School, our mission is to provide the security, unconditional acceptance, and structure that must be present to ensure that quality treatment will prevail. We lead troubled teens to find the inner strength necessary in their lives..."
The Typical Student of Residential Treatment Centers
The typical student of Red Rock Canyon School and other residential treatment centers is most likely dealing with depression and/or anxiety, and is currently acting out through self-destructive behavior, such as; substance abuse and/or addictions, school failure, and other self-harm acts of defiance. It is the troubled teens way of navigating through the pain and turmoil that has engulfed his or her life.
Furthermore, complications such as learning disorders may be influencing this troubled teen to develop a poor self-image and poor self-esteem. Essentially, these boys and girls are hurting deeply, and they figure they have no hope. They seek immediate relief from the pain. They live for the moment, self-medicating through negative peers, drugs/alcohol, isolation, and other acts of self harm.
"...We build upon their individual strengths, improve their relationships with their families and give them hope for the future..."
The boys and girls that we serve struggle to make good personal choices and they do not know how to solve their problems. They have no idea how to seek help, and struggle to connect with those who can provide therapeutic support. Essentially, they don't trust authorities and most do not believe that they even have a problem.
Most likely, these struggling teens are hanging out with the wrong crowd, creating conflict within the family, struggling at school, and may be getting into trouble with local authorities. The students that we treat often find themselves socially withdrawn from all good influences, refusing help, and need an out-of-home treatment program.
The students of Red Rock are not criminals or thugs; they are basically good kids from good families. Our students are simply confused and lost in emotional turmoil, seeking relief in the most ineffective ways. Basically, everything is chaotic and they are in need of immediate therapeutic intervention. We can help. Over the last decade we have helped thousands of struggling boys and girls and their families find relief, hope, and healing.
Red Rock Canyon School enrolls youth who exhibit emotional and/or behavioral problems which prevent them from functioning adequately in their home or community environments. Referrals to our program are initiated by psychiatrists, therapists, or mental health professionals. We also receive referrals from school counselors, substance abuse counselors, clergy, and direct referrals from parents.
Regardless of the referral source, all prospective students must receive a thorough evaluation by our Admissions Director prior to enrollment. This evaluation is conducted by phone to assess a youth's specific therapeutic needs, and to assure that he or she receives the most appropriate level of care.
Assessing and Evaluating the Red Rock Canyon Student Candidate
The following areas of concern are a part of our evaluation and assessment of the prospective Red Rock Canyon Student. Our students exhibit and demonstrate some or all of the following behaviors:
~ History of emotional problems
~ History of running away
~ Poor self-esteem
~ Lack of coping skills
~ Lack of anger management skills
~ Depression and/or anxiety
~ Poor impulse control
~ History of drug/alcohol abuse and/or addiction
~ History of school problems, such as poor academic performance
~ Mild to moderate learning disability
~ History of abuse
~ History of failed attempts in less restrictive treatment
Our students successfully progress through Red Rock Canyon School because of our highly supportive and structured therapeutic environment, staffed with trained caring professionals who are dedicated to the effective treatment of struggling teens.

Review: HP Cloud challenges Amazon and Google
HP's OpenStack-based IaaS cloud blends openness and portability with nice proprietary extras and welcome hand-holdingFollow @peterwayner
Hewlett-Packard may be best known for its ubiquitous printers and laptops, but in the enterprise world, it is just as recognized for its servers. Now that the idea of the cloud is taking over, HP is joining the marketplace and renting some of its servers in the HP Cloud.
The servers are priced by the hour just like everyone else's, but though these machines may be commodities like hamburgers, there are differences, just as there are differences between Burger King and McDonald's.
[ From Amazon to Windows Azure, see how the elite 8 public clouds compare in InfoWorld Test Center's review. | Move over, Amazon -- IaaS providers are elbowing into the cloud | Stay on top of the cloud with InfoWorld's "Cloud Computing Deep Dive" special report and Cloud Computing Report newsletter. ]

Red Line
If the Oilers draft RNH, how likely is he to play this year with Hall and what is the upside of that duo?
Wednesday June 22, 2011 12:43 Scott
12:47 Red Line: I would really prefer to see the Oilers use him for only the allowed nine games in the NHL before sending him off to Team Canada's World Jr. squad, and then back to junior for the second half of the year. That way he could get his feet wet, see what it takes to compete on a nightly basis at the NHL level, and come back stronger and more physically ready the following season. I think trying to rush a 163-pound kid into full-time duty in the NHL only serves to hinder his development in the long run.

Maliceby Lisa Jackson
Synopses & Reviews
"A vengeful ex-wife appears to have returned from the dead to stalk her ex-husband in this gripping thriller from bestseller Jackson (Absolute Fear). Former LAPD detective Rick Bentz has rebuilt his life with a happy marriage and new career with the New Orleans police 12 years after divorcing his unfaithful first wife, Jennifer, who subsequently died in a car crash. After 'a freak accident in a lightning storm' that left his temporarily paralyzed, Rick starts seeing Jennifer's ghost. When Rick receives an anonymous package mailed from Culver City, Calif., containing recent photos of a woman resembling Jennifer, he goes to California to investigate. In L.A., the Twenty-one killer, who strangles identical twins on their 21st birthday, resurfaces. Rick's last unsolved L.A. case involved victims of this serial killer. Jackson heightens the creep factor by including the viewpoint of a character whose hatred for Rick for past wrongs inspires another extreme killing spree." Publishers Weekly (Copyright Reed Business Information, Inc.)
From #1 "New York Times"-bestselling author Jackson comes a gripping, edge-of-the-seat tale of deception and betrayal, as New Orleans detective Rick Bentz is forced to confront the ghosts of his past--and a killer's twisted vengeance.
About the Author

A single mother, she is a native of Oregon, where she still resides with her two teenage sons.

Alpha Protocol Trailers Introduce ContactsA pair of new Alpha Protocol trailers introduce grizzled information broker Grigori and the violent Sie, two of the contacts top spy Michael Thorton might work with in the espionage RPG by Obsidian--the studio formed by veterans of Fallout developer Black Isle.
Alpha Protocol is due to finally be released on May 28 for PC, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. After that, Obsidian is returning to its roots with Fallout: New Vegas.
The first trailer introduces former Stasi agent Sie. "Seems like she'll do anything for the right price," notes agent Thorton, "especially wetwork. It turns her on." That's good, then. Apparently it's a weakness that he'll need to exploit to get the most out of her. Great.
The second covers Grigori. As he's an old man who's not suggestively slipping out of a skimpy tank top, it's a safe bet that you won't end up indulging his sexual foibles--though you can slam his face into a bar for your own gratification if you fancy.

Exhibit Highlights
burns library
Alert to the Sacredness of Life: A Celebration of Paul Mariani's Works
Original Exhibit Fall 2005
Alert to the Sacredness of Life: A Celebration of Paul Mariani's Works marks the acquisition by the Burns Library of the papers of Paul Mariani, a widely acclaimed poet and professor of English at Boston College. He is a Catholic poet, and religious themes are present in all of his works. The exhibit includes books, manuscripts, correspondence, posters, illustrations and other materials showing Mariani as a poet, a poetry editor, a biographer of poets, a memoirist, a lyricist and a correspondent (by hand and by email). The opening of the exhibit coincided with the launch of Mariani's new book of poems, Deaths and Transfigurations, which is illustrated by Barry Moser. Parts of the exhibit reflect the long collaboration between Mariani and Barry Moser.
For Further Study: The Burns Library holds an extensive collection of Paul Mariani's personal papers. In addition, both the Burns Library and O'Neill Library house various publications of the poet. Consult one of the library staff for more information.

During the admission process, Western's Audit of Requirements for Degrees (WARD) was prepared to display your prior credits and to designate how these credits apply to the BGS degree requirements. By considering Western credits, transfer courses, military credit, proficiency exams and Western courses in progress, this automated record provides timely information on your progress toward meeting degree requirements.
As soon as you receive your WARD, check it carefully for accuracy and completeness. If there is inaccurate information, notify us immediately so that we may make appropriate corrections. We recommend that you have your copy in hand whenever you call the office.
The WARD is issued for advising purposes only. It is not an official document of the University. Advising and planning will be based on this document and official transcripts. Therefore, it is to your advantage to keep us informed of courses taken from other institutions, name and address changes, etc.
At the top of the WARD, above the double lines, is the Header Information. This includes the date and time the report was prepared along with items from your academic records including name, student identification number, graduation date, program codes and catalog year. The program code on the right (H22) identifies your program (BGS). The various symbols contained throughout the report are explained in the "Legend" block located at the end of each WARD.
Below the double lines the Requirement Blocks begin. Surrounded by double lines, each requirement (or requirement option such as WIU General Education or IAI General Education) is unique unto itself.
The report contains two columns per page. Under Column 1, the first block indicates the overall status of the report:
- At Least One Requirement Has Not Been Satisfied - OR
- All Requirements Have Been Completed
The next Requirement Block lists the general graduation requirements. This block reports total hours earned, cumulative grade point average, residency hours, senior institution requirement these are: 1) Complete a minimum of 16 hours of upper division WIU courses; 2) Complete a total of 40 hours of upper division courses; , and math competency requirement.
You have the choice of completing the requirements of either the WIU General Education component or the Illinois Articulation Initiative (IAI) component. These requirements are listed next on the WARD. You need to carefully review these two options to determine your current status in each and then, with the help of your advisor, determine which would better meet your individual needs.
The final Requirement Block is listed under the header of "BGS Major." 3) Complete one Writing Instruction in the Discipline or BGS Writing Course option. Also listed under this Requirement Block are any courses falling under the heading of "University Electives."
Each time progress is made toward degree completion, your WARD is updated. Students can view the updated WARD through the Student/Alumni Records System (STARS). You need to review this report carefully and discuss any potential problem areas with your advisor. Here is a sample WARD Report (pdf).
Duplication of Credit
When Admissions/Records Officers of the BGS degree program prepared your WARD, they checked for possible duplication of credit in your past academic work. In each case, they made every effort to award you as much credit as your records warranted without granting credit twice for the same course or course equivalency. If you have any questions about your WARD, please contact your advisor.
Now that you are in the program, you will need to avoid taking courses that duplicate work that has already been recorded on your transcript or WARD. When in doubt, contact your advisor BEFORE taking a course, taking a proficiency examination, requesting courses in a prior learning portfolio, etc. Specific areas that constitute duplication of credit include:
Repeating a course at the same school for a better grade. Credits will be awarded toward graduation only once for the course even though it will appear on your transcript each time you take it.
Taking a course at a college or university that contains the same subject matter as a previous course from a different institution. This applies even if the courses have different numbers, names, or were taken in different departments.
CLEP subject examinations that cover the same material as covered in a course taken prior to the CLEP examinations.
CLEP or Excelsior examinations which would award credit that is a prerequisite to courses taken in that subject that have been taken and recorded on your transcript.
Proficiency credit for courses that have been taken.
Written Prior Learning Portfolio credit awards for courses taken.

SILVERSTONE, England (Reuters) - British Grand Prix winner Nico Rosberg breathed a sigh of relief on Sunday after Formula One stewards decided not to punish him for an alleged flag infringement that might have cost him the victory.
The German reported to them after the race with a team representative but was seen sprinting down the paddock afterwards, television crews in close pursuit, with a smile on his face.
A spokesman for the governing FIA said later that Rosberg had been reprimanded for failing to slow for yellow flags through turns three to five.
Rosberg, who celebrated his second win of the season, finished the chaotic race 0.7 seconds ahead of Red Bull's Australian Mark Webber.

SEATTLE - In their first meeting of the season, the Spokane Chiefs fell short to their U.S. division rivals, the Seattle Thunderbirds by a score of 6-4 Tuesday night in Kent, WA. With the loss, Spokane fell to 6-3, but remained 2 points ahead of Seattle for third place in the division.
Seattle jumped out to a 1-0 lead on a Luke Lockhart rebound goal just 1:01 into the game. That lead would hold until just 24 seconds into the second period when the Chiefs Mitch Holmberg scored his league leading 10th goal of the year on a breakaway. Rookie Mikulas Rimmel then rifled home his first WHL career goal at 1:15 of the period on assists from Tyler King and Todd Fiddler to give the Chiefs a 2-1 lead. Seattle would counter with goals from Alexander Delnov and Connor Sanvido less than 3 minutes apart to retake the lead at 3-2. Spokane would equalize on Adam Helewka's first WHL goal at 7:54 of the period from Brenden Kichton and Tyson Predinchuk, who picked up his first WHL point with the assist.
Sanvido would score in the final minute of the second period though to give Seattle a 4-3 lead heading into the third. Spokane would get off 15 shots in the first 2 periods, but would outshoot the Thunderbirds 17-5 in the third. Unfortunately for Spokane, Delnov's second goal of the night, on a 5-3 power play early in the third would lift Seattle to a 5-3 lead. Chiefs defenseman Reid Gow scored his first goal of the season at 17:26 to bring Spokane within 5-4. Kichton picked up his second assist of the night on Gow's goal, giving him 147 for his career, passing Frank Evans all time team mark by a Chiefs defenseman.
Seattle would cap the scoring though on Lockhart's second tally of the night, an empty netter at 18:40 to seal a 6-4 win. Spokane outshot Seattle 32-23 in the contest, while Seattle went 1-4 on the power play, while Spokane was 0-1. The Chiefs will host Seattle Friday night at the Spokane Arena with the puck drop at 7:05pm. Mike Boyle will have the call on 1510 KGA beginning with the pre-game show at 6:30pm.

SAN FRANCISCO - MAY 14: California Attorney General Jerry Brown arrives at the Ninth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals May 14, 2007 in San Francisco, California. Attorney General Brown and the state of California along with several other states are in a lawsuit against the Bush administration challenging an April 6, 2006 decision by the National Highway Safety Administration to approve a one mile per gallon increase in fuel efficiency from 22.2 m.p.g. to 23.5 by the year 2010. Brown says the government was negligent in this decision by not considering the impact of greenhouse gas emissions and global warming and that the gas mileage standards should be tougher. (Photo by Justin Sullivan/Getty Images)
Now Jerry, was that so hard?
After months of media pounding, Jerry Brown released a jobs plan on his website, to go with plans on the green economy and education. Meg Whitman's campaign, which had been declaring Brown didn't have a plan, is today blasting the plan for being released on a weekend and for not being particularly detailed.
After reading Brown's plan and re-reading Whitman's, here's a short verdict:
1. Length: A wash. Brown's jobs plan on the website is longer than Whitman's jobs plan on the website, though that doesn't tell us very much. The print version of Whitman's plan is a few hundred words longer than Brown's plan.
2. Detail: Another wash. Brown's plan is very detailed on energy efficiency and the jobs that come from that, and lacks details on most other subjects. He says he'll look at incentives to help manufacturers and invest in infrastructure. Whitman has more specific, targeted tax cuts -- eliminate capital gains taxes and taxes on manufacturing equipment -- and mentions items like tort reform and business licensing. But neither plan is particularly detailed
3. Avoiding the Bill: Neither plan offers any real account of how the various incentives and tax credits it proposes would be paid for.
In short, these are political documents, plans that exist so that candidates can say they have plans. And they have a lot of common in their particulars, including the need to promote green energy, help manufacturing with tax incentives, and cut regulations.
So Brown has matched Whitman in producing a plan that doesn't appear to be worth very much.

For the last week, I was out of town traveling on business. Upon my return, the number one refrain I have heard from mothers and fathers alike was this: Who took care of your kids in your absence?
The answer is easy: my husband. Last I checked, I was married to a man who also has a busy and demanding career, but who allows me to do the things I need to do (and want to do) for work because my career is important to him, too. Of course, the question is so much more complicated. Why is this even being asked?
Never once in all the years we have had children has anyone ever asked my husband on a business trip who is taking care of his kids. It's assumed that I, his wife and the mother of our children, am at home, toiling away with the babes. So why don't I get that same expectation?
The reality is, even in the most enlightened marriages with full equality, most people think the mother takes the lion share of childcare responsibilities. But, um, not in mine. Honestly. My kids would probably rather have my husband than me on any given day. Is that really so shocking?
My husband and I truly split the childcare (and other) duties. He often takes snow days, sometimes even sick days, and we try to divide up drop-offs and pick-ups in an equitable way. While this might be unusual, I know we aren't the only ones who live this way. So why is it so shocking to imagine he MIGHT be able to hold down the fort in my absence?
The reality is, I am no better equipped to care for my kids or do anything else around the house than he is. A friend recently gave me the best marriage advice I could imagine: "No two people can stand up in the boat at the same time." This was referring to two career families, but it applies to everyone. When one person is standing up, the other has to do their best to hold the base and keep it steady.
THIS is a good marriage. This is a marriage of two partners and it's the marriage we should assume everyone is in. Otherwise, how depressing is that? Why should one person bear the brunt of all the home life while the other can do whatever they want. It doesn't work that way and it isn't healthy.
At best, marriage is a partnership between two equals. Anything less is unfortunate and shouldn't be assumed to be the norm. So, the person who is taking care of our kids? Is their dad. He isn't a "babysitter." He is their parent. And he is just as capable as I.
Do you ever get asked this question?
I think the question is asked because today more than half of the kids born to women 30 and under go to bed every night with out their father. Single never married mothers are becoming the majority, and so it is no longer naturally assumed that they have dad at home to take care of them, it's assumed that they don't.
I also am irked by referring to daddy care as "babysitting". You don't babysit your own kids!
I can see why people assume that Dad can't hack it. Of all of my friends, only one has a husband who is actively involved in taking care of his children. Just today I invited a friend over for a coffee and she said she couldn't come since her husband got home from work and wouldn't watch the children. This is the same friend constantly complaining about how lonely she is. My other friend can't leave her children with her husband to make a run to the grocery store for a missed ingredient in dinner. It is ridiculous to me! My husband asks our 5 yo if she wants to go with him to the store, and he watches the baby if I make a run out of the house for any reason. I think it falls on the women who deal with that crap.

Does your diet need a makeover?
Whether you want to drop a few pounds, lower your risk of heart disease, or decrease pain and inflammation in your body, certain foods can help you reach these goals. Here are the ones to add to your shopping list.
Shopping List
You already know the basics of healthy eating: Shop the perimeter of the store and eat minimal processed foods and fats. But are you buying the foods that will help you reach your specific health goals? To help you do this, we paired three integrative practitioners with three readers who have different health concerns. One is trying to lose weight, another wants to lower her cholesterol without drugs, and another hopes to ease his osteoarthritis pain. Here's what their grocery shopping lists looked like before they worked with our experts—and what they're shopping for now.
Ambere St. Denis, 32
Home: San Francisco
Goal: Weight loss
Challenges: Cravings for sugar and bread, low energy, bloating
The Background
Being single in San Francisco with a demanding job in sales means Ambere does a lot of "grab-and-go" eating and dining out. While she knows she needs a hearty breakfast to keep her energy high all day, she often picks up an egg sandwich or a scone and coffee at a deli near her office and then goes out again for lunch. "It's pretty typical for me to eat all three meals out at least a few times a week," she says. "It's just easier—and oftentimes, I'll have client dinners." When her energy flags, she typically reaches for something sweet or carb-heavy. Although these snacks give her a quick pick-me-up, Ambere knows they're not helping her energy in the long run.
|Ambere's Typical Shopping List
|Ambere's Typical Meals
|White bread
White rice
Oil-packed tuna
Cheese (occasionally)
Vegetable oil
Olive oil
| Breakfast Eggs, potatoes, toast
Lunch Tuna melt, french fries, fried chicken sandwich
Dinner Fried catfish or curry chicken with white rice, pot stickers, bread
Snacks Scones, chocolate, or other sweets
Nutrition Analysis
The first thing that jumped out at me is that Ambere is consuming wheat at almost every meal—in part because she craves it. Often, we crave the foods we have a hidden sensitivity to—and a food sensitivity can actually prevent weight loss. Why? When the body isn't able to digest a food like it should, the immune system kicks into gear, essentially considering that food a foreign body that needs to be "fought." This makes the immune system too busy to focus on the low-grade inflammation that happens as a result of stress, environmental toxins, and processed foods—and the result is illness and an inability to lose weight. By cutting wheat, Ambere should immediately see a change for the better in her energy level and digestion (read: no more bloating!). What's more, in order to feel full, she'll have to replace that bread, white rice, and pasta with fiber-filled whole grain...

Winning at Losing
By Michael Castleman
In the 1990s, health experts told us something we knew all too well: Losing weight for the long haul is hard. The National Institutes of Health''s Nutrition Coordinating Committee declared that the typical dieter regained two-thirds of lost weight within one year, and only 3 percent of dieters kept weight off for five years. Jane Brody, the New York Times'' influential health columnist, interviewed a dozen weight-loss experts and concluded, "More than 90 percent of dieters are destined to regain all they lose and then some." Just the type of encouragement we needed.
But two researchers wondered if the situation was actually that grim. Rena Wing, PhD, a professor of psychiatry and human behavior at Brown Medical School, and James Hill, PhD, director of the Center for Human Nutrition at the University of Colorado Health Sciences Center in Denver, each knew people who''d lost significant weight and kept it off. They decided to investigate the fraction of folks who dropped their excess pounds for good. "We figured it made more sense to study success than failure," Hill explains.
In 1994, they began collecting success stories about long-term weight loss, hoping to find patterns that might help others succeed. Their collection evolved into the National Weight Control Registry (NWCR), a database of people who''ve lost at least 30 pounds and not regained them for at least one year. The NWCR now boasts more than 6,000 stories, most from the US and Canada. The average registrant has lost 70 pounds and kept it off six years. Annual update questionnaires show some of the registrants regain weight, but most maintain substantial weight loss over the long term.
One database champion, Michal Eakin had been chubby since childhood and would continually binge, diet, binge. "I tried everything," she says, "fad diets, Optifast, NutriSystem, you name it. Every time I regained weight, I felt such emotional despair." In her mid-20s, weighing 200 pounds and with a family history of heart disease, Eakin made her health a non-negotiable priority: "I decided I wanted to live," she says. Eakin started eating fewer calories and walking around the countryside in Vermont. "I still don''t like exercise that much," she admits, but "we do many things in life we don''t relish because we know we have to—going to work, changing our kids'' diapers." And now the 130-pound Eakin has exercised almost every morning for the past 23 years. "I had an eating disorder. I felt enslaved to food," she says. "But I broke free, and I celebrate my freedom every day."
Though everyone in the database has different stories and has lost weight in various ways, several patterns have emerged, says Suzanne Phelan, PhD, an NWCR researcher at Brown. Their secrets?
• Stop dieting. "Dieting involves major eating changes for the short term that are virtually impossible to maintain long term," Hill explains. "People who succeed at weight loss generally make small-to-moderate die...

Whether you are in the travel or aviation industry or not, it is possible by now you have heard the wildly circulating news about American Airlines. With over 20 thousand mentions of American Airlines in social media so far today and at the time of this posting, people are talking up a storm online about the bankruptcy protection filing of the giant airline. This is a time where social media crisis management is critical.
When breaking news of this caliber hits, it is more important than ever to be prepared to act via a strong social media strategy. When I woke up to the news myself, I was curious as to how American Airlines would be prepared for the storm of tweets, blogs and news articles their team would be faced with. The big question for not just American Airlines, but for any airline today is: Do you have a crisis management strategy in place?
With tweets flying higher than the airline itself right now, people were talking about stocks falling, increasing costs to travel and worrying about existing flights or promos for upcoming flights they hoped to book. Social media engagement opportunities abound.
American Airlines is working diligently to keep up the pace in the crisis. Their customer service efforts and crisis communications approach is working hard to alleviate concerns and achieve positive sentiment surrounding their brand.
What is an airline to do in this case?
A quick look at the American Airlines Twitter feed shows a helpful voice trying to diligently engage and answer the questions of confused passengers and upset customers. Along with implementing a crisis strategy playbook, remaining transparent, honest and friendly will be the best tools AA can keep close in their social media crisis kit.
For more ideas on how airlines can successfully utilize social media for everything from customer service to crisis management, check out our unique Airline webpage – complete with case studies and resources.
The details of the business of American Airlines and the reasons why they are filing for bankruptcy can be found on many news site such as Huffington Post and CNN.
Do you have a crisis communications strategy? Is it ready to go at the push of a button? Share your thoughts here.

EL PASO, Texas (AP) - The commander of Fort Bliss in West Texas supports the decision to allow women to serve in combat positions but wants uniform physical training standards for both genders.
Gen. Dana Pittard spoke Thursday at a news conference at the Army post shortly after Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta announced the ban on women serving in combat had been lifted. Pittard says women have shown interest in joining combat positions and that it should not pose a significant challenge as most of the Army's units already are integrated.
He compared the development to previous steps taken by the Army toward integration, like desegregation in 1948 and allowing openly gay soldiers to serve in 2011.

The UVa women's lacrosse team rallied from a 7-4 second half deficit to tie Johns Hopkins at eight, but the Blue Jays scored the game winning goal with 20 seconds left to beat Virginia 9-8.
Cavs captain Caroline McTiernan scored 3 goals in the loss. Courtney Swan and Dana Boyle each had 2 goals. It was the fourth game this season that Virginia lost by just one goal.
Virginia coach Julie Myers said, "Typically if it's a close game Virginia is used to winning those but its a great group of girls and their working really hard, there's not much more we can ask them to do in terms of practice. They just need to stay together and find their confidence in little things and see where that can take them."
Virginia now has a record of 7-8 and must finish .500 to qualify for the NCAA Tournament. Virginia plays its regular season finale at home Wednesday against Virginia Tech.

Washing Away Your Cares at an Urban Waterfall in Seattle, Washington
Before you see it, before you even realize it's there, you hear it: the unmistakable sound of a waterfall standing out from the discordant chorus of urban noise. At first glance, there don't seem to be any parks or streams here in the Pioneer Square area just south of downtown Seattle. But there it is, hidden behind a tall wooden fence and seemingly shoehorned into the streetscape: the tiny-but-lush Waterfall Garden Park. Walk in—it's free—and you'll find inspiration and tranquility in equal measure, with spare, Japanese-inspired landscaping; a multi-level brick terrace with plenty of places to sit; and a 22-foot cascade of water pouring over granite boulders. It seems tailor-made for contemplation and relaxation, a sort of filling station for the urban soul—spend a just few minutes here and you'll feel rejuvenated, the cares and bustle of city life seeming to wash away with the water.
- Clarke Beattie Hard to imagine I've lived in Seattle for 10+ years and never even heard of this place! Where is my hed? (And my camera!) First place I'm going to head for when I return next month, thanks Josh

SUNDAY, March 25 (HealthDay News) -- Isoflavones -- a compound
found in foods such as soy milk, green tea, tofu and peanuts -- may
help lower blood pressure in young adults, new research
The researchers also found that isoflavones may be of particular
benefit for black American adults, nearly 42 percent of whom are
estimated to have high blood pressure, also known as
One expert not connected to the study said there is reason to
believe that isoflavones could help the heart.
Isoflavones "dilate the vessels by increasing the release of
nitric oxide," explained Dr. Suzanne Steinbaum, director of women
and heart disease at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York City. She said
the new study, "brings to light a compelling dietary recommendation
that can help control hypertension in younger patients."
In the new study, investigators examined data from more than
5,000 participants in a major study funded by the U.S. National
Institutes of Health.
The analysis revealed that those who consumed the highest
amounts of isoflavones per day (more than 2.5 milligrams [mg]) had
an average 5.5 mmHg lower systolic pressure (the top number in a
blood pressure reading) than those who consumed less than 0.33 mg
of isoflavones per day.
To understand what that means to the everyday diet, an 8-ounce
glass of soy milk has about 22 mg of isoflavones and 100 grams of
roasted soybeans have as much as 130 mg of isoflavones, the
researchers explained.
The study was to be presented Sunday at the annual meeting of
the American College of Cardiology (ACC) in Chicago.
"What's unique about this study is that the results are very applicable to the general population. Our results strongly suggest a blood pressure benefit for moderate amounts of dietary isoflavone intake in young black and white adults," lead investigator Safiya Richardson, a graduating medical student at Columbia University's College of Physicians and Surgeons in New York City, said in an ACC news release.
"Our study is the first to show a benefit in African-Americans, who have a higher incidence of high blood pressure, with an earlier onset and more severe end-organ damage," she added.
The findings "could mean that consuming soy protein, for
example, in combination with a DASH diet -- one that is high in
fruits and vegetables, low-fat dairy and whole grains -- could lead
to as much as a 10 mmHg drop in systolic blood pressure for
pre-hypertensives [people on the threshold of high blood pressure],
greatly improving their chances of not progressing to
hypertension," Richardson said.
"Any dietary or lifestyle modification people can easily make that doesn't require a daily medication is exciting, especially considering recent figures estimating that only about one-third of American hypertensives have their blood pressure under control," she added.
It's believed that isoflavones boost the body's production of
enzymes that create nitric oxide, which helps to widen blood
vessels and thereby reduce blood pressure.
Findings presented at medical meetings are typically considered
preliminary until published in a peer-reviewed journal.
