United States Army Specialist Bryan Anderson
has always been the kind of guy who lives life on his own terms, quick to laugh and to make others laugh – and willing to try just about anything.
At the moment he lost three limbs to a roadside bomb in downtown Baghdad, he clearly remembers thinking "My life is really going to change now."
Since his return from Iraq he's moving forward with a sense of humor, personal drive, microprocessor controlled limbs and a whole new design on life. He sees his physical condition as an asset, rather than a liability, as he pursues his goal of becoming a movie stuntman.

What John Bielenberg does best is help companies, and their people, find the courage, and the sense of humor to consider whole new, "wrong" ways of bringing their stories, ideas, and innovations out into the world. Once they've seriously considered these options, it makes everything easier, including making those options real, viable ways of talking about their business.
John has won over 250 design awards, was nominated for 2 National Design Awards from the Cooper-Hewitt Museum, served on the AIGA National Board of Directors, and teaches at California College of the Arts in San Francisco. The San Francisco Museum of Modern Art has acquired six of his projects and staged a solo exhibition in 2000.

The New York Times described Chef Homaro Cantu as "a chef in the Buck Rogers tradition, blazing a trail to a space-age culinary frontier."
An internationally recognized chef and leader in the field of postmodern cuisine and an inventor of futuristic food delivery systems, Chef Cantu graduated from Le Cordon Bleu Culinary Institute in Portland, Oregon. After developing his culinary skills at several establishments along the West Coast, he traveled to Chicago to work at Charlie Trotters restaurant, where he rose to the position of Sous Chef. After leaving Charlie Trotters he concentrated on the development of his concept of an experiential design-based restaurant with a molecular gastronomy approach. As Executive Chef at his Moto Restaurant, Chef Cantu and his staff put these concepts and creations into practice, entertaining their guests with imaginative and savory dining experiences.
As Chairman and Founder of Cantu Designs, Chef Cantu is working on developing his inventions for commercial and humanitarian applications, and has filed numerous patent applications covering dining implements, cookware and edible paper.
Chef Cantu's innovative approach to cuisine and food delivery has influenced thought across several disciplines. Chef Cantu and his "edible paper" have been featured in Gourmet, Food and Wine, the Wall Street Journal and American Scientist. Fast Company featured Chef Cantu and Cantu Designs in a cover story entitled "Weird Science", and Cantu Designs' interactive utensils were part of the exhibit "Feeding Desire, Design and Tools of the Table, 1500-2005" at the Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum of the Smithsonian Institution. Chef Cantu's recent television appearances include "Battle Beets – Morimoto vs Cantu" on the Food Network's Iron Chef America and the Ellen DeGeneres Show.
When Thomas Chen, a sophomore at Glenbrook North High School in Northbrook, Illinois, isn't at school, jamming guitars with friends, playing tennis, or watching the Food Channel, he's practicing for or winning piano and violin competitions.
In 2007 alone, Tom was a gold medalist at the NSMTA Sonata Festival – an honor he has achieved every year since 2003 – was the winner of the Level D (most advanced) section at the 27th Roberta Savler Piano Contest, and was a gold medalist at the Illinois State Music Teachers Association Sonata Festival.

A freelance graphic/web designer and video editor based in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, she's best known as iJustine, a lifecaster / video blogger who broadcast almost every aspect of her daily life directly to her legions of fans through ijustine.tv for over 6 months. Although she tried not to change her personal routine as she lived virtually 24/7 online, she would vocalize her thoughts by talking to herself for the benefit of her audience, concerned herself more with what people around her might be saying, and recognized the personal safety issues that resulted from being findable by anyone with an internet connection and a means of transportation.
Justine has also produced more than 200 videos, including the infamous "300-page iPhone Bill," which quickly became an internet meme after stories of unexpected billing issues began to circulate in blogs and the technical press following the iPhone's heavily advertised and anticipated release. The video was viewed more than 3 million times in ten days, and was later reported to have reached over 11 million total views.
Ms. Ezarik has made appearances on Macbreak, hosts a weekly show Chatfest, blogs daily at ijustine.com and placed second overall in the 2006 Yahoo Talent Show. She has been interviewed by USA Today, ABC News, CNN and Fox News Channel among others. In a live telephone interview on National Public Radio's "All Things Considered," interviewer Robert Siegel noted that he could see Ms. Ezarik's lifecast video stream of the interview on his computer as he was interviewing her. Featured along with Justin Kan – the creator of Justin.TV – in a weekly installment of Kevin Sites' "People of the Web" on Yahoo! News, Sites referred to her as "the star of this network."
Richard Farson wants you to fail. Faster.
By nature a thoughtful contrarian, Richard Farson is the author of the critically acclaimed bestseller Management of the Absurd, and co-author of Whoever Makes the Most Mistakes Wins: The Paradox of Innovation, which advocates 'productive mistake-making.' Since the best way to fall behind in a shifting world is to rely on what's worked in the past, Dr. Farson challenges leaders to accept setbacks as necessary footsteps on the path toward success.
Co-founder and president of Western Behavioral Sciences Institute, an independent, nonprofit organization devoted to research, education and advanced study of human affairs, Dr. Farson was the founding dean of the California Institute of Arts School of Environmental Design, president of the International Design Conference in Aspen, and a fellow on the Human Relations Faculty of the Harvard Business School.
Douglas Gayeton is a digital renaissance man, who keeps one foot in the synthetic world and one in the organic.
Most recently, as Chief Creative Officer at Millions of Us, he created immersive story experiences for virtual worlds and social networks such as Second Life, Gaia, Habbo Hotel, Scenecaster, Zwinktopia and Sony Home, the world's first high def virtual world (public beta June 2008). He previously conceived and directed production on virtual world and social network projects for AOL USA, AOL France, MSN, and Vivendi's YA FOULE, and served as creative director at Napster, transforming the company from a music download service into a semi-open social network.
As a filmmaker Gayeton wrote, produced and directed "Molotov Alva and His Search for the Creator: A Second Life Odyssey," a documentary shot entirely within Second Life. The highest rated video in the world on YouTube, it was recently purchased by HBO. He directed "Tomorrow," the first documentary about interactive television. Its depiction of what Interactive TV might look like—and Gayeton's conviction that "everyone will become their own channel"—was considered heretical at the time, but was eventually realized in the emegence of the Internet. He also developed interactive projects for Viacom & ATT's Interactive TV, and for MTV and U2's short-lived ZOO TV.
Other projects include "Lost in Italy," a 26 episode interstitial TV series created, directed, and shot for US cable network Fine Living, and "My Shoes are Caked with Mud," a photographic series for a PBS project awarded a Webby for best broadband website of 2004. He has also consulted for the largest publishers in the videogame business. His "Ghost Recon" was nominated for best script and honored with the BAFTA for 2006's videogame of the year. With William Gibson he wrote and directed "Johnny Mnemonic," then wrote and designed "Big Brother" with Media-X, and designed an interactive version of "Einstein's Dreams" with writer Alan Lightman.
He is currently preparing a one man retrospective of his works for Slow Food Nation.
In her extraordinary career, British singer/ songwriter Kirsty Hawkshaw has collaborated with some of the world's top electronic artists including Delerium, BT, Orbital, and DJ Tiesto. She rose to fame as a member of Opus III, whose track "It's a Fine Day" reached number five on the 1992 UK singles chart.
Still a major presence in dance music, Kirsty lends her angelic vocals to a number of electronic and dance artists and is on the forefront of new models of web-based music distribution. Connecting with fans through emerging media such as Second Life, where she experiments with machinima and other film-making techniques, her latest independent release, The Ice Castle, is the top selling download on pay-what-you- feel site Magnatune.
Carl Hodges is the Founding Director of the University of Arizona's Environmental Research Laboratory (ERL), which developed non-traditional food production systems for controlled or unique environments, and projects addressing environmental issues. ERL helped design The Land Pavilion at Walt Disney World's EPCOT Center in Orlando, Florida, and was one of the principal consultants on Biosphere 2, a $150,000,000 totally-closed ecological research complex.
He serves as Chairman of Global Seawater, Inc., a company focusing on the commercialization of technologies of ERL and other environmentally-sound investment opportunities, through which he directed scientists and technicians from seven countries in building a 1,000-hectare integrated seawater farm at Massawa, Eritrea.
Hodges is also Chairman of The Seawater Foundation, a 501(c)(3) dedicated to ecologically friendly development of the world's desert seacoasts using seawater, photosynthesis and human intelligence to generate wealth, green the earth and contribute to the elimination of atmospheric carbon. The Seawater Foundation is presently working with the Government of Mexico to divert shrimp farm effluent wastewater inland for irrigation of mangrove forests, and farming of a seawater crop that can be used to produce environmentally beneficial biofuels.
Dr. Ayanna Howard is all about robots.
An Associate Professor in the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology, Dr. Howard is founder of Georgia Tech's Human-Automation Systems (HumAnS) Lab, where she is an educator, researcher, and innovator focused on technology development for robots that interact with a human-centered world.
After receiving her B.S. from Brown University, her M.S. and Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from the University of Southern California, Dr. Howard was a member of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, California Institute of Technology. She has made significant contributions in the areas of artificial intelligence, computer vision and robotics, and continues to produce novel ideas and supporting research results for applications that range from assistive robots that provide self-care in the home, to interfacing climate-change scientists and their robots in the Arctic.
Dr. Howard's research record and her breadth of experience and success in several key technology areas help her bring a unique perspective to the academic environment. A tremendous source of knowledge, leadership and inspiration for students – from hosting her Astronaut-Robot summer design workshop for students to producing the book "Intelligence for Space Robotics" – she continues to positively affect and change the world around her.
Leaving Hollywood to found a goat's milk ice cream company in the countryside of Sonoma County completes a loop for Laura Howard. As a child, she'd spent many happy vacations on her grandparents' farm, but after 15 years in the advertising and film world she longed to return to a slower pace of life.
A design and marketing graduate from Miami University, Laura served as creative director at Tool of North America before opening her own production company, Slo.Graffiti. When it was bought by Palomar Pictures she became managing director responsible for six firms, controlling millions of dollars in annual revenues. After 9/11, she devoted time to Fairplay Group, building environmental messaging into popular media. She eventually joined Fairplay, produced an independent film in Tuscany with Douglas Gayeton, her soon-to-be husband, and began studying yoga and Sanskrit, following a diet restricted to goat's milk dairy products. For a girl with a serious Ben & Jerry's habit the dairy rule was tough, so she got creative, making goat's milk ice cream to satisfy her craving. Laura's eyes were opened to the world of "Slow Food" while in Tuscany, and she decided to become part of the natural food revolution.
Laloo's Goat's Milk Ice Cream Company was launched in the fall of 2004 featuring all natural, local ingredients – starting with milk produced by very happy goats. Laloo's is now available in 15 flavors of low lactose, low-fat, spoon-lickingly delicious goat's milk ice cream and frozen yogurt – from Laura's very first, Black Mission Fig, to new favorites like Cajeta and Rumplemint. In 2008, Laloo's forged a charity partnership with Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.'s Waterkeeper Alliance and continually sponsors www.cleanfarmcleanwater.org to promote waterways protection.
In his 27 years as a Catholic priest, Mike Ivers recognized the enormous power of people with a common vision to effect societal change. Now, as president of Chicago's Goodcity, he continues to enhance lives and build communities by supporting neighborhood visionaries, providing training and technical assistance to help them establish independent, accountable and sustainable programs, services, or other initiatives.
British comic book writer Paul Jenkins has played a significant role in shaping the characters of Marvel Comics over the past decade.
After earning an English degree in his native UK, he moved to the US, joining Mirage Studios as editor/ production manager on projects including Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. He eventually pitched his writing to several companies, landing a gig for DC Comics' Vertigo imprint, where he took over as writer of Hellblazer and began a four year stint that would gain him attention in the American comic industry.
Paul's Marvel Comics career began in 1998, when he revived some of the company's horror properties including Werewolf By Night. He and artist Jae Lee were responsible for launching the critically acclaimed and commercially successful Marvel Knights series Inhumans, earning Jenkins an Eisner Award, which of course he never showed up
to collect.
Jenkins and Lee also collaborated on The Sentry, and Paul went on to become the regular writer on the The Incredible Hulk, Peter Parker: Spider-Man, and Wolverine, penning the multi award winning Wolverine: Origin in 2000, and the smash hit Civil War: Frontlines in 2005.
Jenkins is also prolific in the video game medium, having worked on several top-tier titles including the Legacy of Kain, Twisted Metal Black and God of War series.
Oh, and he says he's writing music with "some British tart."
The work of artist and architect Adam Kalkin fuses design, building, performance, conceptual art, kinetic construction and play. The houses and buildings he creates by repurposing prefabricated metal Butler buildings, shipping containers, jetways and urban detritus have challenged conventional notions of architecture and gained considerable attention for their innovative practicality and environmental logic.
A Vassar graduate, Kalkin won the P/A Young Architects Award in 1990. Since then, he has continued his interdisciplinary work in art, architecture, music, technology, and commerce and has exhibited in New York, Los Angeles, Amsterdam, and Zurich. Kalkin's work has appeared in The New York Times Magazine, The Boston Globe Magazine, Architectural Digest, Time Magazine, the Wall Street Journal, and G/A Houses among others.
Among his built projects are the Kalkin House (part of the Shelburne Museum in Vermont), Martha's Vineyard House, House for Anne and Matt in Maine and Bunny Lane. His Push Button House for European coffee company illy created significant buzz at the 52nd Venice Biennale, and Kalkin & Co. have developed the Quik Build Disaster Relief Swat Team, a team of architects, energy and water experts, agronomists and builders who are available to provide fast, low cost, environmentally sound emergency housing around the world.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s reputation as a resolute defender of the environment stems from a litany of successful legal actions. Mr. Kennedy was named one of Time magazine's "Heroes for the Planet" for his success in helping Riverkeeper lead the fight to restore the Hudson River. The group's achievement helped spawn more than 160 Waterkeeper organizations across the globe.
Mr. Kennedy serves as senior attorney for the Natural Resources Defense Council, chief prosecuting attorney for the Hudson Riverkeeper and president of Waterkeeper Alliance. He is also a clinical professor and supervising attorney at Pace University School of Law's Environmental Litigation Clinic and is co-host of Ring of Fire on Air America Radio. Earlier in his career, he served as assistant district attorney in New York City.
He has worked on environmental issues across the Americas, and has assisted several indigenous tribes in Latin America and Canada in successfully negotiating treaties protecting traditional homelands. He is credited with leading the fight to protect New York City's water supply. The New York City watershed agreement, which he negotiated on behalf of environmentalists and New York City watershed consumers, is regarded as an international model in stakeholder consensus negotiations and sustainable development. He also helped lead the fight to turn back the anti-environmental legislation during the 104th Congress.
Among Mr. Kennedy's published books are the New York Times bestseller Crimes Against Nature (2004); The Riverkeepers (1997); and Judge Frank M. Johnson Jr: A Biography (1977). His articles have appeared in the New York Times, the Washington Post, the Los Angeles Times, the Wall Street Journal, Newsweek, Rolling Stone, Atlantic Monthly, Esquire, The Nation, Outside magazine, the Village Voice, and many other publications. His award-winning articles have been included in anthologies of America's best crime writing, best political writing and best science writing.
Mr. Kennedy is a graduate of Harvard University. He studied at the London School of Economics and received his law degree from the University of Virginia Law School. Following graduation, he attended Pace University School of Law, where he was awarded a master's degree in environmental law.
Brian Murphy knows intellectual property law. And you probably don't.

As traditional medicine advances, patients are encouraged to be active and informed, to educate themselves about the latest medical research, and to take control of treatment. But medical advances are making it possible for people to do more than just cure disease. Technology is making it possible to enhance and change bodies – a practice increasingly known as body hacking. Where will society draw the line?
Journalist Quinn Norton personally explored the field of body hacking and its potential pitfalls when she had a small magnet inserted into one of the fingers of her left hand, allowing her to sense electrical and magnetic fields. That turned out to be a really bad idea.
Quinn's work has appeared in Wired News, The Guardian, SEED and Make Magazine. She has appeared on NPR's All Things Considered and has talked about body hacking at major technology conferences such as Toorcon, ETech, OSCon, and the Chaos Communication Congress.
Lyle Owerko is a filmmaker and photographer whose clients range from Sundance Channel to Time Magazine to MTV and a diverse roster of major brands, corporations and human rights groups. His photos are collected by many business, entertainment and celebrity clients, and have been used in several films including Henry Singer's documentary The Falling Man, and the 2006 version of The Omen, and in books such as Jonathan Safran Foer's Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close and Jennifer New's Drawing from Life: The Art of the Journal. His work is also included in the permanent archive of the Library of Congress in Washington DC.
Known for a keen eye and knowledge of urban movements, his images have found an indelible place in the lexicon of pop culture and journalism. In a morning that will stay with him forever, Lyle photographed the image that would become the cover of Time Magazine's September 11, 2001 issue, which the American Society of Magazine Editors ranked as one of the forty most important magazine covers of the last forty years. Further acknowledgment for Lyle's work has come from the New York and German Art Directors Clubs, AIGA, The Royal Photographic Society, American Photo, Print Magazine, Step Inside Design, The Type Directors Club, The One Club, New York Festivals and the Cannes Lions International Advertising Festival,where he was awarded a Grand Prix.
Raised in Calgary, Canada, Lyle earned a Masters degree in communication arts from the Pratt Institute.
Dr. Paul Polak - founder of Colorado-based non-profits D-Rev: Design for the Other 90% and International Development Enterprises (IDE)-is dedicated to developing practical solutions that attack poverty at its roots. For the past 25 years, he has worked with farmers in countries around the world - including Bangladesh, India, Cambodia, Ethiopia, Myanmar, Nepal, Vietnam, Zambia and Zimbabwe - to help design and produce low-cost, income-generating products that have already moved 17 million people out of poverty.
While practicing psychiatry for 23 years, Paul visited the homes and workplaces of his patients to better understand the environments influencing them. After a trip to Bangladesh he was inspired to use the same skills he had honed while working with homeless veterans and mentally ill patients to serve the 800 million people living on a dollar a day around the world. His innovative solutions - such as the $25 treadle pump and $3 small farm drip-irrigation systems - helped IDE increase poor farmers' net income by $288 million annually.
Dr. Polak was named one of the Scientific American "Top 50" for his leadership in agriculture policy in 2003, and he received the 2004 Ernst & Young "Entrepreneur of the Year" award in the social responsibility category. IDE received a $14 million grant from the Bill & Melinda Gates foundation in 2006.
As choreographer and Artistic Director of dance-theater company Lucky Plush Productions, Julia Rhoads has been described as "Chicago's resident surrealist" by the Chicago Sun Times, and "adept at both provocative and humorous material" by PAJ: A Journal of Performance and Art.
A former company member of the San Francisco Ballet, and performer and artistic associate of XSIGHT! Performance Group, Rhoads's distinct integration of dance with theater and visual design has brought Lucky Plush to a wide range of venues, from warehouse peep shows to the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago. Lucky Plush has created site-specific works for locations such as the Lurie Garden in Chicago's Millennium Park, The Great Hall at Chicago's Union Station, Sleeping Bear Dune in Glen Arbor Michigan, and the Fairbanks Summer Arts Festival in Fairbanks, Alaska. The company was listed among the top 10 memories in dance for 2005 and 2007 by the Chicago Sun Times, and was featured on the cover of Time Out Chicago for the article "5 Reasons to Love Dance in Chicago."
Independently, Rhoads has received a Cliff Dwellers Foundation Award for Choreography, two Illinois Arts Council Fellowships for Choreography, a Jacob K. Javits Fellowship, a Chicago Dancemakers Forum Lab Artist Award, and was recently named a chorographic fellow for the Maggie Allesee National Center for Choreography in 2008.

S.A.F.E. provides at-risk children, youth and adults a safe haven and positive alternatives to drugs, gangs, teen pregnancy and violence.
The S.A.F.E. Gospel Choir's purpose has always been to utilize music as a means of getting children and youth involved and engaged in arts and culture. And the choir's mission: to engage the mind, educ-ate the body, and enlighten the spirit, has been acc-omplished by more than 500 participants in 17 years.

Once in a while, a band casts a shadow much greater than anyone may have thought possible. Before there was post-pop-emo-whatever punk, the Smoking Popes were one of the first bands to wrap love – both its fragile beginnings and devastating endings – in a comforting blanket of bouncy drumbeats and bombastic power chords. And they've been influencing the Chicago music scene since the release of their debut album in 1995.
Paving the way for artists like Fall Out Boy and Alkaline Trio, the Smoking Popes challenged the idea of what a pop punk band could do, offering songwriting that didn't always adhere to verse-chorus-verse progression, and thoughtful lyrics that told tales of love and longing with heartbreaking details. Praise from NME, Melody Maker, SPIN, Alternative Press, Rolling Stone and Billboard found them touring with artists such as Morrisey, Goo Goo Dolls, Tripping Daisy, Jawbreaker, Dinosaur Jr. and Local H, and their hit song 'Need You Around' was featured in the movie 'Clueless.'
Brothers Eli, Josh and Matt Caterer and original drummer Mike Felumlee released three full-length albums before the group disbanded in 1998. Reunited in 2006, and now joined by drummer Neil Hennessy, their 2008 album 'Stay Down' is a collection of twelve clever and catchy songs that the Chicago Sun-Times has called, "clean and crisp and classic Popes."

Its a happy event not only for the family and friends, but also for the entire Jewish people, because there is no greater symbol of Jewish continuity and eternity than to usher another child into the Covenant of Abraham. Our Sages teach that Jews have always celebrated circumcisions with special joy and this bris will be no exception.
But you may have been asked to say just a few words, as if all you have to do is stand up and open your mouth and let the words flow.
But they wont flow! At least, they wont unless you have an idea you can flesh out. What can you say that the guests havent heard a hundred times? What can you say that will make ears perk up and listen, and make heads nod in approval? If only you could pick the brains of accomplished scholars and speakers and pick from the best! Now you can. This book has all you need.
Dr. Mandell I. Ganchrow, past president of the Orthodox Union, continues the public service that he began with his trailblazing Sason VeSimcha, for which he recruited scores of prominent rabbis and laymen to present their original Sheva Berachos messages. Deservedly popular and widely used, that volume elicited calls for the same sort of anthology of Bris Milah and Pidyon Haben messages. Dr. Ganchrow heard and responded. The table of contents reads like a whos who of Americas best thinkers and speakers. Their contributions sparkle and stimulate, as they present their finest messages for Bris Milah and Pidyon Haben, for every week and occasion of the year.
Is this a book only for nervous speakers? Not at all. It is a treasury of ideas that teach and stimulate about faith and courage, about the Torahs challenge to us all in every age. It is fascinating reading for everyone, because each contributor has his own style, his unique message, his personal perspective, and his own rich life experience. Read Entering the Covenant. Use it. Think about it. It will remain with you long after the event is over and long after you put it down.

Second-seeded James Madison Swings Into Semis With 58-49 Victory Over #7 Towson

UPPER MARLBORO, Md. (March 15, 2013) - Second-seeded James Madison overcame a difficult shooting performance and picked up a 59-48 victory over #7 Towson in the quarterfinals of the CAA Women's Basketball Championship, presented by Jani-King, on Friday evening.
JMU (22-9) advanced to the CAA semifinals for the ninth year in a row and will face either Drexel or William & Mary on Saturday at 4:30 p.m. Towson had its three-game winning streak snapped and ended its season with a 12-18 record.
Freshman Precious Hall led JMU with 16 points, eight of which came in the first 5:25 of the second half as the Dukes took control of the game by expanding a nine-point halftime lead to 17. Senior guard Tarik Hislop added 13 points and junior Kirby Burkholder had 10 points. Redshirt freshman Jazmon Gwathmey grabbed a career-high 14 rebounds and blocked three shots.
Towson got a game-high 27 points from junior Tanisha McTiller. The All-CAA guard was 7-of-16 from the floor, including 5-of-9 from three-point range. Senior forward Michelle Peebles contributed 13 points and eight rebounds and forward Nyree Williams snared 14 boards.
Leading 24-15 at intermission, JMU opened the second half on a 12-4 run. Hall hit a layup and drained two three-pointers during the stretch, with the last one putting the Dukes up 36-19 with 14:35 to go. Towson never got closer than 11 points the rest of the way.
Both teams struggled with their shooting. JMU made just 27.8% of its field goal attempts, including 4-of-16 from three-point range, while Towson hit only 25%, including 5-of-20 from beyond the arc. The difference in the game was turnovers as the Tigers committed 17 and the Dukes had only eight.
JMU jumped out to a 13-2 lead on a Hislop jumper with 13:48 left in the first half and had its nine-point halftime advantage despite shooting just 19% (8-42) from the floor. Towson, which made only 17.2% (5-29) of its first-half field goal attempts, got as close as six, 15-9, on a McTiller three-pointer with 4:53 remaining.
All quarterfinal games will be available for FREE on CAA.TV.

Cat Tracks: Arizona stays perfect with win over Clemson
Sure, you could read the box score and know who won, but we all know that won't tell you everything that happened in a football game. So, we give you 'Cat Tracks', providing you with the analysis, quotes and notes from Arizona's December 8 win over Clemson. Final score: Arizona 66, Clemson 54.
The Good:
The No. 8 Wildcats now boast a 7-0 record for the first time in 14 years with a win over Clemson (5-3) on Saturday night.
Mark Lyons led the team with a season-high 20 points. He also added four rebounds and four assists for the 'Cats.
Arizona had trouble protecting the ball against Southern Mississippi, but the Wildcats improved in that area against Clemson. They turned the ball over just six times in the game's first 20 minutes.
The Bad:
Aside from Lyons, the Wildcats offense struggled to find any sort of rhythm. Arizona's other players shot just 30.6%.
Solomon Hill had a particularly poor performance, shooting just 2-for-16 with seven points on the night.
Arizona blew a 14-point lead in the fourth quarter before putting together a 25-7 run that sealed the victory.
� Besides Lyons, Nick Johnson was the only other Arizona player in double-digits against Clemson. He scored 13 points for the 'Cats.
� The Wildcats held Clemson to just two field goals in the game's final 8:45.
Coming Up Next:
It will be a battle of undefeated teams when Arizona is scheduled to host Florida on Saturday, December 15.

WHAT/WHO: Mayor Vincent C. Gray; DC Department of Human Services Director David Berns, DHS Income Maintenance Administration Director Deborah A. Carroll, DC Department of Real Estate Services Deputy Director for Construction Curtis Clay, United Planning Organization President Dana M. Jones and Community Partnership for the Prevention of Homelessness Executive Director Sue Marshall
WHEN: Monday, July 18, 2011, 10:00 am
WHERE: 117 Wayne Place SE
Washington, DC 20036
Mayor Vincent C. Gray and the DC Department of Human Services (DHS) Income Maintenance Administration (IMA) will host a ribbon-cutting ceremony to celebrate the inception of the agency's "Sweat Equity" program. The program is an integrated TANF (Temporary Assistance for Needy Families) case-management employment pilot program for homeless TANF recipients. The program was developed by DHS in partnership with The Community Partnership for the Prevention of Homelessness (TCP) and the United Planning Organization (UPO).
The goal of the Sweat Equity program is to build a network of TANF recipients (including homeless and formerly homeless TANF clients) and provide training in construction trades that builds the skills and work experience of homeless TANF families to enable them to obtain higher wages, sustainable employment and enhanced skills for higher degrees of self-sufficiency and independence from public assistance. Using the authority to renovate vacant DC buildings for homeless clients using Housing Trust Fund funding, DHS hopes to replicate this program in all renovation projects that are without the current housing commitment.
The Sweat Equity pilot program is part of the DHS effort to redesign its TANF program to enhance the ability of the customer to build his/her capacity, increase their earnings and successfully transition from welfare assistance to self-sufficiency. The primary focus of the redesign is building a system that considers the personal responsibility and individual needs of the customers and on providing tailored services to match the customer's unique goals and personal and family circumstances.

Body Mass Index (BMI) is a guide for determining whether a person is underweight
of normal weight or overweight based on their height and weight. Figure out your child's Body Mass Index (BMI) to determine if your child is at risk.
A child's body fatness changes as they grow and differs for boys and girls. Once you have calculated your child's BMI, view the charts below to determine if your child is overweight based on his or her gender and age.
Each of the BMI charts contains a series of curved lines indicating specific percentiles. The percentile curves show the pattern of growth for your child from preschool years into adulthood. BMI increases from early childhood into adulthood.
BMI-for-age > 85th precentile
If your child has a BMI-for-age that is equal to or higher than the 85th percentile, he or she is overweight. The majority of children who are overweight are also obese and need help with weight management. It is possible to be overweight without being obese, as is the case with athletes. It is important for children in this category to maintain a healthy diet and remain physically active. Annual screenings with a physician are important to monitor the child's weight in relation to his or her growth an development.
BMI-for-age > 95th percentile
Children with a BMI-for-age equal to or higher than the 95th percentile are considered obese. They are at higher risk for becoming obese adults and increased risk for chronic diseases later in life, including cardiovascular disease and diabetes. A physical exam with your child's physician is advised to determine the best course of action and rule out any potential medical conditions.
The data for the BMIs for overweight children aged 2-20 was adapted from the current guidelines as released by the
Center for Disease Control's (CDC) National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion.

Sometimes baking can be a compulsion. Last Sunday I played with adapting Christine Tosi's oat crust to a gluten-free from suitable for other fillings. I had made it once using a slightly different version of the recipe to make gluten-free crack pie. This time I wanted to put a buttermilk pie inside, but it didn't go as planned. It tasted good, but the buttermilk filling soaked into the crust. This time around I took a different approach to make a chilled filling, and…success…
This crust is fantastic and such a wonderful option for gluten-free bakers. It is crispy and slightly sweet, with no off flavors or strange textures to clue anyone in that it is gluten-free. In it's spiced form it would be a lovely accompaniment to a pumpkin chiffon filling, or caramel apple ice cream filling. With or without spices, chocolate mousse would be wonderful as well. Or a pecan caramel. Mmmmm… Given how easy this is to make, I think this may be a go-to crust for me. Give it a try and let me know how you filled your oat crust!
Spiced Oat Crust
Adapted from Christine Tosi
- 8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature, divided
- 5 tablespoons (packed) + 2 TB dark brown sugar, divided
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 large egg
- 3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons gluten-free rolled oats
- 1/2 cup all purpose gluten-free flour with xanthan gum
- 1/8 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/8 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon (generous) salt
- 1/2 t ground allspice
- 1 t ground cinnamon
- ¼ t ground dried ginger
- 1/8 t ground cardamom
- 1/8 t freshly grated nutmeg
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees
- In a small bowl mix together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, spices until well combined
- Cream 5 TB butter and sugar in stand of mixing bowl until light and fluffy (2 minutes). Scrape sides and add egg, beat until fluffy.
- Add flour and oats and mix on low until well combined.
- Spread onto a 9x13 pan and bake for 15 minutes or until light brown on top.
- Crumble by hand into a small bowl
- Melt remaining 3 TB butter and add that and sugar to cookie crumbs. Mix well.
- Press mixture into a 9 inch pie pan.
- Bake for about 10 minutes at 350, until crust is crispy and more golden brown. You may need to place a piece of aluminum foil over the top to keep the crust from browning too much on top.
- Cool crust completely before filling.
Buttermilk Peach Filling
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup buttermilk
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon corn syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 3-4 large ripe peaches or nectarines, 1 inch pieces.
- Pinch of salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 packet gelatin (2 ¼ t) bloomed in 3 TB water
- ½ cup cold heavy cream
- Place sugars, buttermilk, butter, corn syrup and baking soda into a large saucepan.
- Bring to boil over medium heat and then reduce heat to simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring often. It should be a golden brown color at the end of this (darker than it was siwth just the brown sugar).
- Add peaches/nectarines and simmer for 15 minutes until the peaches are soft. Stir often and if the caramel is getting too dark, take off the heat.
- Add salt and vanilla and remove from heat
- Puree mixture (carefully, remember not to seal up your blender with a hot liquid!).
- Quickly melt gelatin in microwave by heating for 5-7 seconds. Add gelatin to puree, stir to combine well.
- Allow to cool completely. Once cool, place in fridge while you whip the cream to a stiff peak.
- Fold the cream into the peach caramel.
- Pour into cooled crust and refrigerate until set, about 3 hours.
- Once set, top with sliced peaches (I roasted my peaches because they were not very tasty).

Great atmosphere – I loved the food. My boyfriend and I shared the breaded fried artichoke hearts appetizer which was fantastic, I almost ordered another one. The burger was really good and juicy. The atmosphere was awesome and the service was friendly enough, but it was fairly busy. It took a while before our server cmae to us, but the host came over and got our order started for her so we didn't wait long. There were a lot of people just having drinks and they got kinda loud so it made conversation a little hard, but I was busy eating anyway. I would go again.
Average Food, Poor Service – The Holding Company serves over-priced bar food and the service is poor. I would not recommend this restaurant.
Great food, drinks, and for larger parties too – This place is a great place to take a group of friends to enjoy some nice drinks (especially there most tasty martinis), tasty food, and lots of space for your party as well (especially towards the evening hours).
Businessman huddle for food and drinks in this highfalutin Financial District staple. – In Short
On the top level of Embarcadero Two, The Holding Company does a brisk after-work business, pouring gallons of booze for a stressed-out, white-collar crowd. Drinking is the main event, thanks in part to the nearly two dozen beers on tap. It's also renowned for its hamburgers--big, half-pound patties perched on fat, crusty buns and served with tasty wedge fries.
This is a definate yes – Great for lunches, of course the burgers are great, but specials are awesome! Had the Carnitas last week..wow! We were in w/ 15 people, & the service was first rate, & food arrived really quickly, housemade Tiramisu..holy cow!!
Happy hour..ggreat martini specials, & they have best pizza! (Of course TVs for sports)
A long-time establishment – This place has been around for quite some time, but it's been a long time since my last visit. It was quite crowded for a Friday lunch. I went for the fish & chips special - it was good but I've had better. I heard the person at the next table telling the waiter that the fries were soggy, which were my same thoughts. My friend chose the special crab caesar and she was able to get a half order which was plenty; she liked it especially because the crab was fresh. Service was good.
Fun for trivia – They have great trivia here. It's fun to hit The Holding Company in the Embarcadero 2 after work for some hot trivia and cold beer. The Holding Company is San Francisco's version of CHEERS!

The Official Home of University of Illinois Athletics
Alyssa Schneider finished second for the Illini and 22nd overall at the 2012 Big Ten Championships.
Nov. 1, 2013
2013 B1G Championships Preview | Coach Jones Interview
2013 Big Ten Championships
Sunday, Nov. 3 (4:00 p.m. CT) - 6K Race
West Lafayette, Ind.
Meet Preview
The Fighting Illini women's cross country team will travel to Purdue for the Big Ten Championships on Sunday, Nov. 3. The 6K race will begin at 10:45 a.m. CT, immediately following the men's 8K race. The meet will be aired tape delayed by the Big Ten Network on Thursday Nov. 14 at 11 a.m. CT. Jay Wilson, Eric Vetter and Kara Lentz will serve as the announcers for the broadcast.
Coach Jones on the Meet
"I think it gives us a sense of confidence going to the site because we've been there and we know what to expect," said Coach Jones. "I think there's a reassurance going to an environment that you've been to."
"We want to compete at the highest level we can in a Big Ten Championship," said Coach Jones. "We want to beat other teams. We have gone against Purdue a couple of times and we've had mixed results, and we have lost to Ohio State and Northwestern, but we feel that those are schools that we can be competitive with. That will be the measurement for success. In order for us to do that we need to put together a complete race where we are putting ourselves in a position at the start, maintaining things well in the middle, and then finishing strong at the end."
Championships Field
Each of the 12 schools in the Big Ten will compete in the championship, with six teams ranked in the latest USTFCCCA Top-30 national poll. Last year's runner-up No. 6 Michigan State leads the field, followed by defending champion No. 14 Michigan, No. 15 Minnesota, No. 21 Indiana, No. 28 Wisconsin, and No. 29 Penn State. The Illini have finished ahead of Purdue, Iowa and Indiana in previous meets this year.
Illini Set to Run
The Big Ten Championship squad consists of nine Illini, four of whom competed in the conference meet last season. The squad also features two others runners who have raced for the championship during their collegiate careers. Amanda Fox, Rachel Irion, Katie Porada, and Alyssa Schneider competed in last year's conference meet, while Britten Petrey and Stephanie Morgan will also be representing the Illini at the Big Ten Championships for the second time in their careers. Audrey Blazek, Hanna Winter, and Natalie Wynn will be competing in their first conference meet.
Last Time Out
The Fighting Illini women's cross country team fielded six runners in the Illinois Open last weekend, with Katie Porada winning the individual title. Megan Lemersal and Valerie Bobart placed 16th and 19th respectively, while Michelle Frigo finished 28th. Kim Seger placed 30th, with Ellie Palacios finishing 43rd.
At the Pre-National Invitational
The Fighting Illini women's cross country team placed 4th in the White Race at the Pre-National Invitational. The 6K race was held at the site of the 2013 NCAA Championships and featured a 35-team field. The team was led by Alyssa Schneider for the fourth time this season.
Schneider led the Illini and placed 8th overall with a 6K time of 21:09. Katie Porada crossed the finish line next for the Illini with a time of 21:43 to place 20th, while Amanda Fox finished right behind (21:44) to place 21st. Hanna Winter (22:23) and Audrey Blazek (22:45) each set new personal-bests, while Stephanie Morgan (22:49) and Britten Petrey (23:41) rounded out the race for the Illini.
Up Next
The Illini will have next weekend off before competing in the NCAA Midwest Regionals on Nov. 15 in Ames, Iowa.

If you don't love the number 12 today, you're a zero.
This is a historic day — 12/12/12. It's a special occasion. There won't be another uber-geeky number day like this for a long time now. Although we have a 13th hour, we don't have a 13th month.
What are you going to do today at 12 seconds after 12:12 p.m.? Take 12 seconds to really think about it and plan something special. Even if it's after 12:12 p.m., do something special because the next repeating date will be Jan. 1, 2101. It's not like you can wait until the next one.
Could it be the Anti-Doomsday, a day of reckoning? Maybe so. That wouldn't bode well for the hundreds of brides and grooms who have flocked to Las Vegas.
There have been dozens (!) of really cool dates like this in the past. Dick Steinbach of Novato has celebrated many of them with friends he called the Numbers Nuts. Last year they went to see the Follies in Palm Springs and had a toast at 11:11 p.m. This year they spent the day in San Francisco and Sausalito (see photos).
Maybe you can explain why you think this one is special. Add a comment below.

Inkstands were made to be placed on a desk. They held some type of container for ink, and possibly a sander, a pen tray, a pen, a holder for pounce, and even a candle to melt the sealing wax. Inkstands date to the eighteenth century and have been made of silver, copper, ceramics, and glass. Since the 15th century, the inkstand was sometimes called a "standish" in England. Additional inkstands may be found in these and other related categories.

Perfect location to the stadium. I showed up 1 hour before the game and the attendant made sure he found me a spot for my pick-up.
This was my first time ever going to a Panther game, the lot was easy to find from the Freedom Drive exit off I-85 & Easy to get out to beat the masses.
Easy access to rest room and stadium.
Everyone was friendly and gracious!
Great Spot, close to stadium and easy to get out!
Great experience

Chris McNulty: A Global Voice
AAJ: And you did return...
CM: Well perhaps not everyone knows that I have lived full time in NYC for 20 years. I arrived here in 1988. I think raising my son here as a single parent pretty well made me a citizen of New York City by default.
AAJ: Going back to Australia: how is the jazz scene down under?
CM: I'm not that savvy about the "Australian" jazz scene anymore, although I just performed at the Melbourne Jazz festival for nine nights with my band (Paul Bollenback, Ugonna Okegwo, Mark Soskin and Jeremy Clemons), as well as in Adelaide. We played one concert every night and then ran the jam session that followed. It was fun to have so many musicians from all over the world sitting in.
AAJ: Anyone we should keep an eye on?
CM: There are some great players over there. I was struck by several. One in particular, an alto player from Melbourne, Dave Rex, if he comes to NYC he will definitely do well. Actually I just found out he's already here... so keep your eye out for him.
Mike Nock (originally from New Zealand) made significant inroads while living here for over 20 years and has left an indelible impression on all who have studied and worked with him since he returned to Sydney in early '80s. Last time I checked he was still teaching at the Sydney Conservatorium. Mike is amazing. He has managed to carve out a unique niche for himself in the global market place while remaining in Australia. That's real hard to do. I think he still tours internationally, puts together great bands and I'm told also has the creative energy of a 20 year old (he'll like hearing that, I'm sure). Having young players around also keeps you young and vibrant and keeps the music interesting, they listen to everything, so they bring a lot of new stuff to the table.
Another great pianist is Mark Fitzgibbons who I also hear is coming to NYC. I've played with him a bunch when I've toured in Australia and plan to have him join me for a tune or two on my next recording as will Paul Grabowsky, another great player and composer. Paul has just landed the highly prestigious position of Program Director for the Adelaide Arts Festival.
Graham Wood heads the jazz program and WAAPA in Perth and performs with many international musicians touring through and will perhaps also join me on this next recording project. Paul Bollenback and I will be performing with Graham Wood, among others this September when we tour Australia.
AAJ: Do you think it's almost mandatory that Australian jazz musicians sooner or later make their move to the US?
CM: Players have been coming over to the States from Australia for more than half a century and they will continue to do so. I think most understand that to develop in certain areas it's essential to come here for a time to explore, study and play. I think players such as tenor saxophonist, Bernie McGann, pianist Chuck Yates, bassist Murray Wall all came here way back in '60s and '70s. Chuck actually played with Carmen McRae for 6 months. They were all able to make some cool things happen while they were here. Murray, along with more recent arrivalsBarney McAll, Sean Wayland and Mat Clohsey among othershas managed to stay here and make NYC his home.
AAJ: It's not an easy job though to make it in jazz in NYC.
CM: I think sustaining a career in jazz in New York in general has never been that easy, but back then you had the added advantage of the music presenting mainly to a live audience, so in a way you went wherever the work took you. Now the possibilities for education appear endless though cost prohibitive for many.
AAJ: Is it easy for an Australian to come and study jazz in the US? Based on your experience what advice can you give to your compatriots?
CM: In Australia there are small and substantial grants available for young players to travel to the States or Europe. Unfortunately it's after you get here that the struggle really begins. There's no longer a down town existence at low rent available to artists of meager means, coming in from out of town, be it from Wisconsin, Idaho or Australia.
When I arrived in NYC there were a ton of great jazz venues open and many great listening environments which also supported the community of jazz musicians, Bradley's in particular. Maybe things will pick up again, but it's definitely turned into a career for musicians who have some sustainable capital to invest for a much longer period of time or you have to do other things to sustain a creative life.
Whether or not you can create a niche for yourself in this current market really depends on how much staying power, willfulness, and across the board business ingenuity you have. Sometimes you might be better off staying in your own country and getting it to work in a less stressful, competitive environment. In Australia, that can be difficult to sustain for a whole different reason, the entire population is only 21 million. But there are some cool things happening in both environments.
Musicians who go back to their home countries, take invaluable information and energy back with them. A great example of that is saxophonist, Michael Stewart who has managed to create some very cool performances/workshop opportunities in Adelaide. Paul Bollenback and I will be performing with his big band next September.
