With the iPad 3 (supposedly) launching soon, movie spoilers hitting the internet before a trailer is released, and the general overabundance of news online, it can be difficult to avoid learning things you don't want (or care) to. Here's how to set up automatic blocks both globally and on specific websites so you can avoid any type of news you want.
We're inundated with news and rumors from all sides, and it often feels impossible to initiate your own media lockout on content. Whether you're annoyed at all the iPad rumors, you're trying to avoid Batman spoilers, or you simply want to unclog your feeds and get to the content you really enjoy, here's a few tricks you can use depending on how hardcore you want to make your lockout.
You Don't Mind a Little News Sneaking in Here and There
Most of us have a limit to the amount of rumors we can handle on any specific topic and if you want to subtly filter web content it's not too hard. Here's a few mini tips and tricks to cut down on your exposure.
Use Blog-Specific Filters
A number of blogs have a way to automatically filter content when you visit them so you can avoid a type of news. You need a basic familiarity for how they use tags, but a little trial and error you can usually get it working pretty easily. This makes it so you can enjoy your favorite blogs without being inundated with content you don't care about or are trying to avoid. Here's a few for popular blogs:
- Any Gawker site: Across all the Gawker network blogs, you can hide any tags you don't want to see. Use /not:NAMEOFTHING to filter content. For example, it you wanted to filter iPad news, you would do: http://www.lifehacker.com/not:iPad or http://www.gizmodo.com/not:iPad.
- On Many AOL sites (Joystiq, Engadget, etc): This doesn't work across the network, but it does come in handy on a handful of sites. Use /exclude/name-of-thing after the URL. For instance, http://www.engadget.com/exclude/apple or http://www.joystiq.com/exclude/mass-effect-3.
- Filter tags on Tumblr: There doesn't appear to be a URL trick for Tumblr, but there is a userscript. Use TumblrSavior to create a blacklist of tags that won't show up when you're browsing your favorite Tumblr blogs.
Block Keywords on Social Networks
Blocking content on social networks is a great way to intentionally keep yourself in the dark on any topic of your choosing. It's especially handy during sports games you don't care about, tech launches that mean nothing to you, or on opening weekend for games and movies. Here's a few ways to block content without unfollowing or defriending everyone.
- Twitter: Some Twitter apps, like Tweetdeck have a text filter hidden away in the options panel. On Tweetdeck, click Settings > Global Filter and add the text you want to filter away. If you prefer the web experience, two great ways exist to filter content. One is the Proxlet extension for Chrome that can actually block content on Twitter for iPhone, Twidroyd, Seesmic, and Spaz as well on in Chrome. The other is the DeClutter bookmarklet that works in any browser. Both allow you to set up blacklists for specific words and phrases.
- Facebook: If you have friends that can't seem to stop talking about iPads, then you might want to set up filters to get that content out of your news feed. FB Purity is an extension for Chrome and Firefox that allows you to set up content filters for status updates. Click the FB Purity button when you're logged into Facebook. Type in any words you want to block in the Custom Text Filter box.
Automatically Hide Comments on Sites Known for Spoilers
One of the most annoying ways to spoil a movie, book, or video game is by some commenter who drops a massive spoiler out of nowhere. This is especially the case if you're just trying to watch a trailer for a movie or a review of a video game. Thankfully, it's pretty easy to block these comments and continue on spoiler-free. Here's how to do it.
- Block YouTube comments filled with spoilers: YouTube is a treasure trove of spoilers and it's impossible to avoid them if they've been voted up. Blocking them can not only save your sanity, it can also keep spoilers at bay. No YouTube Comments for Chrome and YouTube Comment Snob for Firefox will hide the comments so you don't have to worry about accidentally learning the end of a movie.
- Block comments on many sites: If you want to go on a full-blown comment lock-down, it's pretty simple. CommentBlocker for Chrome and Firefox block a wide variety of comments across blogs and can can help ensure you don't accidentally come across any information you don't want to.
You Want to Initiate a Complete Block on All Spoilers and Rumors
If you're going for a more extreme or long-term method, you need to set up your browsing in a way where you can avoid any type of content. This means tailoring and filtering your RSS feed and using extensions to block keywords from any site you visit.
Set Up RSS Filters in Google Reader
Google Reader doesn't have a built-in way to filter content out of you feeds without completely unsubscribing from news sources. You'll have to set up your feeds through another source.
- Use an extension: The Google Reader Filter GreaseMonkey script is a simple way to automatically hide away the news you don't care about. You can set up a list of keywords you want to block and the script does the rest.
- Filter on the RSS level: The other option is to completely rewire your RSS feed using one of two services. One is Yahoo Pipes. We've shown you how to set up Yahoo! Pipes before, but it's a rather complicated process to get everything set up. If you're looking for a dead simple way to do it, Feed Rinse allows you to drop in your current RSS feed, set up filters, and be on your way to spoiler and rumor free existence in no time.
Use Extensions to Entirely Block Any Mention of the Content
If you really want to get rid of specific news or spoilers, it's time to block the words from the entire internet. This should only be used in extreme cases, but if you really want to make sure you stay in the dark, it's the only way to do it.
Block websites based on keywords: The TinyFilter extension for Chrome and ProCon add-on for Firefox both allow you to set up keyword specific blacklists. This means when you try to visit a site with the keyword (say, iPad 3), your browser will block you. They're meant to block adult content and profanity, but if you really want to avoid news, it's the only sure-fire way to do it.- Treat your keyword like profanity: If you don't want to entirely block the internet but would prefer to avoid seeing the terms in question, set up a profanity filter like Simple Profanity Filter for Chrome or the Profanity Filter userscript. This won't block the web, but it will turn every instance of iPad, Batman, or whatever keyword you choose into a series of asterisks, which, if nothing else, is rather amusing.
Short of completely unplugging, you can never get away from rumors and spoilers completely, but it's possible to at least restrict your web content to a manageable level. Over the coming weeks an abundance of iPad 3 news will be pouring in, so if you're looking to cut it away, the above tips will help. Do you have ways to avoid annoying rumors or spoilers? Share them in the comments.

A week ago, we received our first shipment of Manchego cheese from the Villadiego estate in Spain.
Villadiego is an artisan, farmhouse producer of Manchego cheese and this is the first time their cheeses have been shipped to the US. We are really excited about these Manchegos – they are exclusive to the shop and they taste amazing!
All of the cheeses we are importing from Villadiego are made with raw milk from a herd of 3,500 Manchegan sheep. The estate is one of only a handful of artisan farmhouse producers of raw milk Manchego still in existence. Villadiego has been producing cheese at least since 1840 and maybe even longer – the earliest documentation linked to cheese making on the estate dates from 1840. The estate is situated next to the Guadiana River in Spain and the pastures where the sheep graze are lush and rich in nutrients.
The new arrivals:
Manchego Semi-Curado – at 3 months old, this is the youngest Manchego made by the Villadiego estate. The color of the paste is light – the taste is buttery and delicate with hints of spiciness.
Manchego Añejo – aged for a minimum of 12 months, we will generally be importing this cheese at 14 months of age. The paste is much harder and much more caramel in color than the Semi-Curado. It is caramelized, meaty, gritty and creamy with a little bit of animal flavor.
Gemma, our wine buyer at Formaggio Kitchen Cambridge, recommends pairing Manchego with the following:
Lopez de Heredia (2000), Rioja Riserva: from an historic estate in Spain, this wine is made with natural yeast and is aged in old barrels. With wonderful complexity, depth and length, it tastes of dark fruit, herbs and earth.
Verdad Rosé (2009): certified biodynamic, this rosé is light, crisp, fragrant and redolent of juicy berries with some minerality.
In terms of condiments, one of the most classic pairings with Manchego is membrillo or quince paste. Lovely and fruity with a taste somewhere between pears and apples, this paste is an excellent complement to the nuttiness of Manchego.
We also like Marcona almonds – very different from California almonds, Marcona almonds are rounder and more golden in color. Snackable and addictive, they are fried in sunflower oil and salted. Perfect with Jamón Serrano or Jamón Ibérico and Manchego cheese!

How to Select
How to Shop for Low Voltage Outdoor Lighting
Outdoor lighting is one of the most efficient ways to highlight the most attractive features of your landscape and house, hide the less appealing ones, illuminate paths and entryways and create a sense of security and warmth. Low-voltage lights are quite a popular choice for outdoor illumination since they are easy to install, adaptable, safe to use and employ little power. It is also nice to know that cables of low-voltage fixtures do not pose the danger of electric shock and you do not need a permit to install them.
The first thing you need to do is to determine the purpose served by the low voltage outdoor lighting fixture. Do you need it to illuminate a path, steps or entryway, accent a statue or trees or light a pond or fountain? Underwater fixtures need to be lightweight, compact, rugged, and resistant to high pressures, while step lights should be bright enough to illuminate the top and bottom of stairs.
The next thing to decide on is the output wattage of the device. The brightness of low-voltage outdoor lights varies from 4 to 50 watts, with common choices ranging from 18 to 24 watts. The brightness of a bulb will be rather defined by its intended use: illuminating the steps may require a brighter fixture than artfully lighting a group of trees. The choice of the transformer to step down the voltage also depends on the wattage of bulbs: to determine its size, you need to multiply the wattage by the number of bulb sockets.
Once you have made up your mind about the functional qualities of your outdoor low-voltage lighting, consider its decorative possibilities. Landscape lights come in aluminum, cast metal, brass and wood. A verde or black finish will blend well with the surrounding garden. You can also choose the finish to suit the coloring of your house. Styles may vary from minimalist to aesthetically rich. Path lights can be visible or hidden, ranging from brass lanterns to tulip-shaped units, while outdoor directional spotlights pointed to individual trees or art works may include only bulbs.
The bulbs used for low voltage outdoor lighting are typically halogen lamps with a precision reflector and compact filament, but low-voltage LED and incandescent lamps rated for 12V operation are also employed. Halogen and LED units are more efficient, but incandescent bulbs provide more traditional illumination with a warm orange cast.
After selecting the outdoor light and an appropriate transformer, you can immediately proceed to installing the system because, unlike with other outdoor projects, the low-voltage installation does not require having expertise in electrical work.

ST. LOUIS (KMOV.com) -- Administrators with the Ladue School District are trying to determine who set up an Instagram account called "Ladue's Ugliest."
The account reportedly featured mean comments accompanied by pictures of Ladue Middle School students.
According to school officials, the account was set up earlier this week, but has since been removed. The district says taking disciplinary action isn't possible yet, because no one has admitted to being behind the account.
"If we knew who the student was, we obviously have disciplinary measures we could take for bullying," said Ladue School District Spokeswoman Susan Dielmann. "But absent knowing who the student is, no one has come forward, and admitted it. There's not a lot we can do."
The district is applauding the students who first saw the account and notified the middle school principal.

I DIM: Skirt #2
I know in my first DIM skirt unveiling, I said I would try something easier, but I went ahead and tried another pencil skirt, but this time with a side slit.
What do you think? The material is 100% cotton, so it doesn't drape as well as I'd like (it crinkles at my every twist and turn). It took me a few weekends, but only because I didn't have an invisible zipper to match the fabric. In the end, I think it was a blessing in disguise. I was dying to work on it so I spent a lot of time perfecting the details and the fit waiting for the zipper to come. It turned out pretty well. Check out the cute little grosgrain ribbon in the inside:
The fitting process was...I don't want to say difficult, but it was very time consuming and took a long time to get just right. What may have helped me was my previous knowledge on fit since for so many years I've studied, analyzed and picked apart clothes trying to figure what needed to happen to get them fit my petite body perfectly.
For this skirt, I followed a pattern, and as much as I tried to alter the pattern itself before actually cutting, the fact that I'm petite and the pattern was not, turned the process into a whole new ballgame. With my initial changes, theoretically the skirt should have fit. In reality, it did not. Regular-sized sewing patterns (like many ready-to-wear clothes) are definitely made for women with hips, thighs and a butt, all of which I do not have. It was a lot of sewing, adjusting, sewing, adjusting, sewing, and adjusting. The fit turned out a lot better than I expected, however. The biggest mistake I made was shortening it too much when cutting the fabric, not sure how that happened. So instead of a 2" hem, it was more of a .75" hem with an added a polka dot grosgrain ribbon for binding to make it pretty. Overall, I'm pretty happy with it. For the next skirt, I will attempt to add a lining. Stay tuned.

Another successful DIM! High five! I'll admit my favorite part is the strip of grosgrain ribbon. Makes my preppy heart flutter, lol. Close behind that is the side slit. I remembered seeing a Zara skirt from last season (?) in red with a side skirt, but unfortunately was too big for me. At the time Aubs commented she hadn't seen anything like it since the Ally McBeal days. Ahh, the 90s.

Your skirt turned out great! The color is very pretty and the grosgrain ribbon is so cute!
Oh what a coincidence!!! I'm originally from Toronto too and I was living in DC until recently! I definitely miss the DMV area! :) - January 19, 2012 at 11:01 PM
- Cher said...
LOL. Actually, I was inspired by the green Zara skirt that I think they still sell online now, but I just didn't like how on the Zara skirt the side slit had a zipper and the ribbon-tie waist.
Isn't the ribbon the best?? I was so excited to sew it in! - January 19, 2012 at 11:15 PM
- Cher said...
Aww, thanks, Callandra! I'm pretty happy with it!

thx! It does take a lot of patience. I'm not sure if I would be able to handle projects like blazers and things that require so much time and work! Skirts are just enough for me to handle right now.

Your proportions are similar to mine, so you could probably get away with the same pattern alterations that I use:
1.) Straighten on the hip line. Most womens patterns have a rather accentuated curve from waist to mid thigh - I usually straighten that line out from about 1.5" below where I want the waist to be. I also do this for dress and pant patterns.
2.) Shorten the pattern by folding out the excess length from the middle, not from the hemline. Measure the length from the bottom of the waistband on an existing skirt that you own to use as a guide. Then add 2" to the desired length for the hem.
3.) Don't mess around with the waist on patterns - most of them use a 24" waist for the smallest size in the pattern and that number is fairly consistent. On the pattern I use for a pencil skirt, I actually have to add width at the waist because the original pattern was cut for a 24" waist, and mine is 25"5. I add about 5/8" to each side seam at the waist when I cut out the pattern. This makes my skirt look almost like a rectangle, but then that is how I am built compared to average women. - January 20, 2012 at 5:34 AM
- Cher said...
Wow, that sounds pretty much exactly what I ended up doing to the pattern! I think just because of my inexperience, I wasn't sure how much. There were a lot of seams on the skirt, so I was straightening the seams in so many places. I read I was only supposed to take it from the outside, but then it didn't look good at all in the back--very lumpy. So I ended up straightening the pieces in the back as well.
It was weird, I did take out the excess length from the middle, but I think what I thought was going to be a good length (i actually did try to pin the pattern on me first), when I actually put on the skirt for fitting, I actually decided I wanted it longer. oh well!
Thanks for the tips, Kerry! They're so helpful!! - January 20, 2012 at 8:30 AM
What an amazing job! You can't tell that it's DIM, it looks store-bought and it fits so much better than off-the-rack skirts. =)

I ended up moving up to Minneapolis this year but I still head to T.O. from time to time to visit family and friends. :) How did you learn how to sew? that's on my to do list this year....but I just need to find a place to learn and get a machine :P
- January 21, 2012 at 3:34 PM
- Cher said...
Heh, honestly? Books and YouTube. :P I just started sewing 2.5 months ago, and embarrassingly, I already have reasonably sized sewing library (I love books). I can point you towards a few that are really good for beginners, if you like. And good sewing machines that can grow with you are pretty reasonably priced (~$150). It will totally pay for itself once you start to alter your ready-to-wear clothes that you've purchased.
- January 21, 2012 at 3:46 PM

really? you're so talented! I would appreciate your recommendations very much! :) Thanks so much Cher. you can email me at email@example.com :)

The skirt looks good. I think you did a great job. For the crinkling, try a polyester/cotton blend fabric next time. I find when, I want pieces to not be so wrinkly, blends are a little better. Take care and happy sewing.
- January 29, 2012 at 4:15 PM
- Cher said...
Thanks, Elle! I also prefer blends but since it these are my very first sewing projects I've just been using the cheapest and easiest materials to work with just to get some practice. I never expected my skirts to turn out this well. But now that I'm beginning to hoard material, I'm trying to find more blends that will drape better than 100% cotton.

Good article and right to the point. I am not sure if this is actually the best place to ask but do you guys have any thoughts on where to hire some professional writers? Thank you :)

Teeth - caring for
Tooth decay and gum disease are caused by plaque, a sticky combination of bacteria and food. Plaque begins to build up on teeth within 20 minutes after eating. If teeth are not cleaned well each day, plaque will lead to tooth decay. Over time, plaque will harden into tartar.
Plaque and tartar lead to a number of problems:
Healthy teeth are clean and have no cavities. Healthy gums are pink and firm. To maintain healthy teeth and gums, follow these steps:
Ask your dentist:
Regular teeth cleaning by a dentist removes plaque that may develop, even with careful brushing and flossing. This is very important for getting at areas that are hard to reach on your own. Professional cleaning includes scaling and polishing. This procedure uses instruments to loosen and remove deposits from the teeth. Routine exams may include dental x-rays .

A skeletal x-ray is an imaging test used to look at the bones. It is used to detect fractures , tumors, or conditions that cause wearing away (degeneration) of the bone.
Skeletal survey
The test is done in a hospital radiology department or in the health care provider's office by an x-ray technologist.
You will lie on a table or stand in front of the x-ray machine, depending on the bone that is injured. You may be asked to change position so that different x-ray views can be taken.
The x-ray particles pass through the body. A computer or special film records the images.
Structures that are dense (such as bone) will block most of the x-ray particles. These areas will appear white. Metal and contrast media (special dye used to highlight areas of the body) will also appear white. Structures containing air will be black. Muscle, fat, and fluid will appear as shades of gray.
Tell the health care provider if you are pregnant. You must remove all jewelry before the x-ray.
The x-rays are painless. Changing positions and moving the injured area for different x-ray views may be uncomfortable. If the whole skeleton is being imaged, the test usually takes 1 hour or more.
This test is used to look for:
Abnormal findings include:
There is low radiation exposure. X-rays machines are set to provide the smallest amount of radiation exposure needed to produce the image. Most experts feel that the risk is low compared with the benefits.
Pregnant women and children are more sensitive to the risks of the x-ray. A protective shield may be worn over areas not being scanned.

Dear OncoLink "Ask the Experts,"
Should I take antioxidants to reduce my risk of cancer?
Katrina Claghorn, RD, Oncology Dietitian for The University of Pennsylvania Health System, responds:
Antioxidants have been shown to have many health benefits. Besides reducing the incidence of heart disease and stroke, antioxidants may help reduce the incidence of cancer. They act as protective substances by destroying free radicals, which are the harmful by-products formed through the body's metabolism. Free radicals damage cells and initiate carcinogenesis which is the development of cancerous cells. Vitamin C, beta-carotene, vitamin E and selenium are all antioxidants. In addition there are hundreds more naturally occurring antioxidants found in plant foods.
Studies have shown that antioxidants work best when combined and that the presence of fiber and other plant compounds may provide additional health benefits. Consequently it is recommended that you get most of your antioxidants from your diet rather than relying on supplements.
Although toxic levels for antioxidants have not been established, excessive levels can be harmful and may interfere with cancer therapies. If you are under going any cancer therapy it is important to inform your doctor of any supplements you are taking.
Mar 7, 2015 - Intake of multivitamin and antioxidant supplements, including those containing selenium and beta-carotene, has no impact on the risk of developing melanoma, according to a study in the August issue of the Archives of Dermatology. The findings refute those of the Supplementation in Vitamins and Mineral Antioxidants (SUVIMAX) study, which found antioxidants increased the risk of melanoma four-fold in women.

quote:House Speaker John Boehner had a simple message Wednesday for President Obama after he used the bully pulpit to blame Republicans for the "meat cleaver" of looming spending cuts: You created it, you fix it. "Having first proposed and demanded the sequester, it would make sense that the president lead the effort to replace it," Boehner wrote in a Wall Street Journal op-ed. The "sequester" is the Washington word for the $85 billion in 2013 spending cuts set to hit starting March 1, with more than $1 trillion in cuts on tap over the next decade. Boehner and Obama both agree that the federal budget needs that level of deficit reduction and more, but sharply disagree over how to achieve it. In the absence of any compromise, the set of indiscriminate cuts which would hit the military hardest are set to take hold in less than two weeks. The president on Tuesday, surrounded by first responders who are among those who would see cutbacks, called on House Republicans to drop their resistance to tax increases and steer the country away from the budget "meat cleaver." But Boehner reminded Obama that the automatic cut idea was originally proffered by the White House during the debt-ceiling talks of 2011. He said Congress "reluctantly accepted the president's demand" and claimed it's now up to Obama to find the escape hatch. "So, as the president's outrage about the sequester grows in coming days, Republicans have a simple response: Mr. President, we agree that your sequester is bad policy. What spending are you willing to cut to replace it?" Boehner asked. White House Communications Director Dan Pfeiffer rejected what he described as "revisionist history." The White House acknowledges the "sequester" came from their office, but argues that Congress was on board at the time. The original plan was to tee up cuts so Draconian that Congress would be compelled to strike a deal to replace them -- Congress, though, failed to do so.
quote:Wake me up when both sides stop playing the blame game.
quote:Hope you enjoy being dead...
quote:obama is all talk and no substance...this will not change for the next 4 yrs sadly...he no leader--just an empty suit
quote:Boehner is all talk and no substance...this will not change for the next 2 yrs sadly...he no leader--just an empty suit
quote:Wait, what happened to the House controls the purse strings...?
quote:Harry Reid and the Senate budget committee.
quote:The fact of the matter is that the statement, "You created spending cut crisis, you fix it" is absurd. Obama can't fix it, he needs everyone to help fix it. Boehner knows this, so why the statement?
quote:Did the bill become law on Boehner's signature?
quote:John Boehner Lashes Out at Obama The house speaker blamed President Obama for the nearly $1.2 trillion spending cuts set to go into effect next month. Harsh criticism he leveled at the president
quote:So now it's Harry Reid's fault? What happened to Obama's Fault™ ?
quote:there is a balance of power which means responsibility is shared throughout the Republican Party.
quote:With the debt limit set to be hit in a matter of hours, Republicans and Democrats in Congress reluctantly accepted the president's demand for the sequester, and a revised version of the Budget Control Act was passed on a bipartisan basis. Ultimately, the super committee failed to find an agreement, despite Republicans offering a balanced mix of spending cuts and new revenue through tax reform. As a result, the president's sequester is now imminent.

Gliomas are tumors that grow in various parts of the brain. Optic gliomas can affect:
An optic glioma may also grow along with a hypothalamic glioma .
Glioma - optic; Optic nerve glioma; Juvenile pilocytic astrocytoma
Optic gliomas are rare. The cause of optic gliomas is unknown. Most optic gliomas are slow-growing and noncancerous (benign ) and occur in children, almost always before age 20.
There is a strong association between optic glioma and neurofibromatosis Type 1 (NF1 ).
The symptoms are due to the tumor growing and pressing on the optic nerve and nearby structures. Symptoms may include:
The child may show symptoms of diencephalic syndrome, which includes:
A brain and nervous system (neurologic) examination reveals a loss of vision in one or both eyes. There may be changes in the optic nerve, including swelling or scarring of the nerve, or paleness and damage to the optic disc.
The tumor may extend into deeper parts of the brain. There may be signs of increased pressure in the brain (intracranial pressure). There may be signs of neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) .
The following tests may be performed:
Treatment varies with the size of the tumor and the general health of the person. The goal may be to cure the disorder, relieve symptoms, or improve vision and comfort.
Surgery to remove the tumor may cure some optic gliomas. Partial removal to reduce the size of the tumor can be done in many cases. This will keep the tumor from damaging normal brain tissue around it.
Radiation therapy may be recommended in some cases where the tumor is larger and surgery is not possible. In some cases, radiation therapy may be delayed because the tumor is slow growing.
Corticosteroids may be prescribed to reduce swelling and inflammation during radiation therapy, or if symptoms return.
Chemotherapy may be used in some children. Chemotherapy may be especially useful when the tumor extends into the hypothalamus.
For organizations that provide support and additional information, see blindness resources .
The outlook is very different for each patient. Early treatment improves the chance of a good outcome. Many tumors are curable with surgery, while others return.
Normally, the growth of the tumor is very slow, and the condition remains stable for long periods of time. However, in adults and some children, when the optic chiasm is involved, the tumor is more aggressive.
Call your health care provider for any vision loss, painless bulging of the eye, or other symptoms of this condition.
Genetic counseling may be advised for people with neurofibromatosis-1. Regular eye exams may allow early diagnosis of these tumors before they cause symptoms.

January 11th. the Advis- ory Board of the Undergraduate Associa- tion met with President Thomas to dis- cuss the question of overwork. The con- clusion reached was that about half tin- courses, especially the reading; courses, require too much work. President Thomas ' proposed to have the work in these ! courses cut down. She stated that she considered eight hours a day the maxi- i mum which should be spent on academic work, and that seven hours is not too short. Four hoifrs' work should be suffi- cient for the week-ends, she thought. President Thomas also mentioned the ex- cessive cutting, and said that some strin- gent measures must be adopted to stop it. The Seniors did not consider their class overworked. The other classes, es- pecially the Juniors, felt that they were too busy. The courses were discussed one at a time and It was decided that those which required too much time were: English, minor, major, and general, both Literature and Composition; History of Art; Major Physics; Major Chemistry; Kronomics, major and minor. This was the first meeting which the Advisory Board has held In its new ca- l pacity as an Advisory Committee to Pres- | Ident Thomas The members of the board ; are the officers of the Undergraduate As- sociation, and four class representatives.

CHAMBERS ONE TIME PRISONER OF WAR "Sailor Poet" Returned from the Dardanelles Will Preach Sunday Evening Mr. John E. Masefield. who will lecture on English Poetry in the Gymnasium. Saturday. January 22d, Is now in this country for the first time since 1896. When here before he is said to have sup- ported himself by odd Jobs in livery sta- bles and bakeries, finally getting a steady job at ten dollars a month in a New York saloon. He now returns as one of the foremost English poets. His work, Dr. Chew thinks, is more significant than that of any other modern poet except Mr. Hardy. Will Not Dlscuse the War Mr. Masefield has said that he does not intend to lecture on the war. although he has served several months In the Darda- nelles as a stretcher-bearer, in the front line trenches, only 50 yards from the enemy's line. "Then the man behind you drops dead", he said, "and that is how the war goes. When you have served some time on the ambulance corps your feeling for the wounded becomes so Intense that you would rather lose your right arm than drop the stretcher". Some of the best known works of Mr. Masefield are "The Everlasting Mercy". -Dauber". "The Daffodil Fields", "The Widow in the Bye Street". "Philip the King" and a volume of poems and ballads. His recent book on Synge. the Irish dram- atist. Is in the New Book Room in the Library. Mr. Masefield will lecture before the Contemporary Club in Philadelphia on Tuesday. January 18th. subject.

Dr. Chambers is a missionary of the Ameri- can Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions. He has spent thirty years in Turkey, where his work has been the evangelization of the natives. He was in Erzeroon when the massacres of the Ar- menians occurred In 1896, and in 1906 he witnessed the massacres at Adana. where he was able to protect the lives of many of the persecuted Christians. When the war broke out in 1914 Dr. Chambers, as a British subject, would probably have been sent to the interior into exile, but as a missionary of the American Board be was allowed to remain at Adana, al- though during the winter he was in- terned and taken prisoner of war for a short time. By this fall, however, the persecution of the Armenians and the following situation made it seem best for citizens of belligerent countries who were missionaries to leave the country. He is now engaged in Armenian relief work In this country. Dr. Chambers is the father of D Chambers. '19. Philosophy, Social Problems. Turkey, and Old Testament Biography, will be studied in the classes which run for ten weeks during the second semester, be- ginning February the 9th.

She will give a general intro duction to the course in the first two classes and will secure experts along vari- ous lines to give some of the other talks.

The Office on Child Abuse and Neglect (OCAN) was pleased to convene the 18th National Conference on Child Abuse and Neglect on April 16 - 20, 2012, at the Washington Hilton Hotel in Washington, D.C. Materials presented at the Conference are now available, including:
The theme of the 18th National Conference, Celebrating the Past – Imagining the Future, highlights the desire to embrace past successes, to learn from challenges, and to realize the dream of eliminating child abuse and neglect. Timing the National Conference with the Centennial Celebration of the Children's Bureau provided a special opportunity to reflect upon past accomplishments and lessons learned, and to collectively develop strategies for improved policies and services. New! – A Virtual Participation Series OCAN utilized state-of-the-art technology at the 18th National Conference to extend its reach, and more than 1,000 individuals from this country and around the world were virtual participants in the Plenary Sessions and Interactive Workshop Sessions. They joined the 1,500 individuals attending the Conference in Washington, D.C., who represented the full spectrum of practitioners, researchers, law enforcement, and advocates for the safety and well-being of children. By all accounts, the 18th National Conference on Child Abuse and Neglect was a tremendous success. We feel confident that the knowledge and skills gained and enthusiasm generated through the National Conference will have an impact on services provided in local communities across the country. A conference of this scope and size demands significant collaboration. Many thanks to all the national and local Conference staff who made this event possible, with special thanks to our National Co-Sponsors and Conference supporters. |

The etymology of the phrase 'red hot' dates back to the 14th century describing the colour attained by metal as it is heated. When attributed to people it can euphemistically be used to describe passion and attractiveness.

So many of us look forward to holiday meals only to dread the after effects. We feel regretful, remorseful and rotund. But we don't have to. Getting your holiday fill does not have to mean switching out the skinny jeans for sweats. And it can be as easy as a little ingredient swap in the kitchen.
Let's start with your meal's centerpiece. For most, the holiday is not complete without the meat. If you're going with ham, lay off the traditional glaze, advises Chef Robert Childers, culinary instructor at The International Culinary School at The Illinois Institute of Art - Chicago. "Use a vinegar reduction like gastrique," he says. "It reduces the sugar and increases the acid profile, giving you flavor without the calories of sugar."
If you're having turkey, you can consume twice as much white meat as dark for about the same amount of calories and fat, says Chef Josh Linder, culinary instructor at The International Culinary School at The Art Institute of Indianapolis.
Now let's move on to all those side dishes. A green leafy salad is always a good start, until you pour on the dressing. "If you're making your own dressing, change the proportion of ingredients," says Childers. Instead of sticking to the three parts oil, one part vinegar recipe, Childers suggests using two parts oil, one part vinegar and one part stock.
For mashed potatoes, Linder urges you to opt for skim milk over whole. "Don't mix the butter in right away, either," he cautions. "Butter has a great 'mouth feel' because it has a lower melting point, so just a little can satisfy the palate." Linder advises you finish with butter instead of cooking with it; diners will get the taste they're looking for without piling on the calories and fat.
Stay away from creams. "Cream is nearly 36 percent fat by volume," says Childers. Replace cream in your favorite mac-n-cheese recipe with skim milk and use low fat or fat free cheese. You'll get the same texture which can satisfy you just as much without all the fat that you'll come to regret later. Don't let the pasta you use in the mac-n-cheese off the hook either, says Childers. Use whole wheat or whole grain pasta.
And we can't forget our sweet tooth. No holiday meal is complete without dessert. While most of us are full by the time the pumpkin pie and seven-layer cake hit the table, we still can't resist digging in. Chef Damian Fraase, pastry chef instructor at The International Culinary School at The Art Institutes International - Kansas City, has a few tips to make your meal's finale tasty and healthier.
Start with that pumpkin pie. If your recipe calls for cream or even whole milk, substitute skim, just like you did for the mashed potatoes. "And while we're on the subject of pies, rather than a dollop of whipped cream, portion out a small scoop of ice milk on top," advises Fraase. Cheesecake is trickier, but you can always go with low fat cream cheese instead of the full fat variety. And when you're making the crust, consider a vegetable fat instead of lard or butter.
"Don't be afraid to try a sugar substitute," says Fraase. "Just follow the directions on the packaging because each has different requirements." He cautions that some substitutes do better in the oven than others so you may want to test out the recipes before the big day.

Hall Monitor: Middle infielders, whiffs and luminaries
By Trevor Hayes
The regular season has just two weeks left. That means contenders are fighting for holds on playoffs spots and the game's stars are grabbing hold of history.
Torrid Tulo: In two of the last three seasons, the Rockies have pasted together historic September runs and are in the middle of trying to sneak into the playoffs again in 2010. Those successes were in part thanks to shortstop Troy Tulowitzki. This year is no different. Over his last 14 games, Tulo has 11 home runs and 27 RBIs, including a pair of jacks and seven RBI during a 9-6 win over the Padres on Wednesday which brought Colorado 2-and-a-half back from both the division and Wild Card leads.
According to the Elias Sports Bureau, Tulowitzki is the second player with more than 10 homers and 25 RBIs during a 14 game stretch in September or October. During his MVP season in 1940, Hall of Famer Hank Greenberg had 12 homers and 31 RBIs in the waning month of the season. During his spree, the Rockies shortstop tied another Hall of Fame name for a nugget of September history. Ralph Kiner hit 11 home runs through the his 15 games of September, 1949 – the same number Tulo has during his first 14.
Southland Southpaws: This week, Clayton Kershaw became the first Dodger lefty to reach 200 strikeouts in a season since 1986. That year Fernando Valenzuela fanned 242 for his third straight 200-K season. Only one other southpaw has at least 200 K's in a season since the team moved to Los Angeles. Sandy Koufax racked up six 200-plus seasons, three of which were over 300 including 1965, in which he set a then-Major League record with 382. Just one other 200-strikeout season exists in franchise history by a lefty. Nap Rucker had 201 for the 1909 Brooklyn Superbas.
Cub closers: Carlos Marmol ended Monday's Cubs-Cards contest with his 120th strikeout of the season. He's the first reliever to produce a season at that level since 2004, when four players topped the mark. Marmol also became just the second Cub to rack up that many strikeouts in relief, joining Bruce Sutter, who had 129 in 1977. Interestingly enough the only other Hall of Famer to top 120 without starting a game also played for the Cubs. Goose Gossage had three seasons with at least 120 strikeouts including one with the Cubs neighbors to the South – the White Sox in 1975.
Uggla stands alone: Fourteen second basemen, including three Hall of Famers, have belted 30 home runs in a single season. But Marlins two-bagger Dan Uggla became the first Monday to hit 30 or more in four total seasons. In addition, he's done it in four consecutive seasons – further besting the previous record of two straight. Prior to Uggla's record-setting power at the keystone sack, Alfonso Soriano, Chase Utley and Hall of Famer Rogers Hornsby were the only hitters with three 30-homer seasons. Four men have compiled two such seasons, including Hall of Famers Ryne Sandberg and Joe Gordon.
Hall of Famer watch: Whitey Herzog will be at Busch Stadium tonight. Fresh off his number retirement ceremony last month and Hall of Fame Induction in July, the newest Hall of Fame manager will spend some time with fans in his adopted hometown, St. Louis, before his beloved Cardinals open their series against the Padres.
The Giants will celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month with their annual Fiesta Gigantes event. Hall of Famer Orlando Cepeda and Rock & Roll Legend Carlos Santana are offering a special event before the Brewers-Giants matchup Saturday with proceeds benefiting Santana's Milagro Foundation.
Trevor Hayes is the editorial production manager at the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum.

PINE LAWN, Mo (KMOV.com) -- Police say a suspected drunk driver lost control of his vehicle and struck a pregnant woman before crashing into a daycare in Pine Lawn on Wednesday.
According to authorities, the man was traveling near the intersection of Jennings Station and Margaret around 4:15 p.m. when the accident happened.
Even though police say the mother is expected to be OK, state troopers were called out to investigate, fearing her baby could be in serious danger.
But after some investigation, it was revealed the driver may also warrant investigation. Police tell News 4 he did not have a license. He did have a passport from Guatemala, but authorities now say that is fake.
Witnesses to the crash say the suspect had been driving erratically prior to the accident. So much so, one motorist was ready to call the police.
"I was actually getting ready to call police and that's when I honked the horn at him and he just floored it and ran her over," said Neal Dubro.
Dubro watched the accident unfold after following the driver on his dangerous path for about two miles.
"He had been swerving into head-on traffic a couple of times, ran a red light," he said.
The driver came to a permanent stop after hitting a 22-year-old woman who is three-months pregnant.
Police say the SUV crushed her legs and shattered her pelvis. Witnesses who responded quickly were shocked at what they saw, but may have prevented further injury.
"I heard her hollering, so I ran down to make sure she didn't go in shock or anything," said Antoinette Hester. "But the whole side of her hip is like, was twisted, like broke and she started moving but I told her don't move until the ambulance comes."
Witnesses say the driver appeared to have a seizure after the crash, but police think there may have been something else that influenced the wreck. The suspect is in the hospital under police guard for suspicion of a DUI
Witnesses, meanwhile, are still trying to process what they saw.
"I probably won't stop seeing this for a little bit," said Dubro. "I see some stuff out here, but nothing like that."
While doctors continue to work on the young mother and her unborn baby, police and immigration officers are now piecing together a criminal case.
No matter what happens, officers on scene say it's a miracle the young mother survived.
Pine Lawn Sergeant Steven Blakeney said, "I personally feel that she's lucky to be alive."
