Teachers rally against New Bedford High School turnaround plan
NEW BEDFORD, Mass. —
New Bedford teachers crowded the street outside city hall Friday afternoon to protest the superintendent's turnaround plan for the city's struggling high school that could mean many of them lose their jobs.
Teachers union president Lou St. John told the crowd, "There's no doubt this will have a negative impact on our school system for years to come."
The district needs a fix-it plan and to show improvement to avoid a state take-over of the under-performing school.
Superintendent Pia Durkin's proposal could mean half the teachers go out the door, though that includes some layoffs last year and retirements.
Nonetheless, teachers are outraged.
They got support at the rally from City Council President Joseph Lopes and former Mayor Scott Lang.
The teachers union argues more than 90 percent of the teachers scored proficient on evaluations, that they haven't gotten the technology and materials they need, and that the city's economics and poverty level don't help.
St. John told NBC10, "Firing the teachers of New Bedford High is absolutely wrong because it doesn't solve the problem. It uses the teachers as scapegoats and that's not right."
Durkin did not return calls from NBC10 Friday.

She's rolled up with patience
dedication and faith in the Lord;
her strictness punctuated a shared vision
that focused on learning acquisition.
Her punctuality, precision, and determination
to teach her pupils with discipline and right focusing;
as a rule of thumb she always obeyed
made the essence of what music means to all.
Rain or shine she's there in her cubicle
waiting for her pupils scheduled to take their lessons;
those Hanon exercises, arpeggios, and other finger articulations
would lead off in concentration or warm-up in every lesson.
Perhaps she's a scarecrow to some who hadn't known her;
but she'd a listening heart described as a story line;
with depth and assurance that no one is denied,
along with other slow learners who coped with perseverance.
Truly, her endless word to slow down in every measure,
her technique that entailed so much discipline and correction
through memory lane I still remember a constant repetition;
her affinity for perfection that requires discipline and proportion.
She's a teacher keenly aware of her pupils' emotions,
her generosity explained either in time or learning a score;
as a sign and meaning to pedagogical association
with thriving efforts to play the music with technique and precision.
She's held in the affectionate memory of her pupils,
their collective thoughts about her fittingly honored her
a woman like her with a horizon of meaning to everyone
a true Filipino educator with a glowing torch in her soul
and her music sustained my vocation to go on.
Its magical link to depth and soul of human expression,
its beauty and inspiration that kept me to deepen my own calling;
to make piano sing in the balance of emotion, technique and celebration
a way to experience Him with wonders and beauty – limitless world.
Maraming salamat , Maestra Marina M Diokno!
I really missed you; I really treasured whatever you taught me;
your strong affinity for virtuousity, allegato and sostenuto,
indeed, a memory lane suffused with gratitude and threads of appreciation.

Have HVAC Questions? Ask an HVAC Expert for Answers
Hello Haystack,
Do you have a meter and some experience using it? The anti cycle protects the compressor from stopping and starting to soon. It can get "stuck" sometimes and not re-engage. If you want we can track iot down.
If you have a diagram somewhere on the unit , that will help also.
The delay timer is usually in the 24v circuit. 24v starts on R at the thermostat terminal in the package unit and goes inside to the stat. The stat sends it back on Y terminal for cooling. Follow the wiring from the Y terminal and it will take you through high pressure, low pressure and delay timers finally ending up on the contactor and pulling it in with the 24 v. The delay timer is quite often a 2"x2" square control. We want to put one meter lead to ground and test 24 v through the system from Y to the contactor.
First, turn off the unit and track wires and get familiar with it, and use the schematic if you have it. We want you to be able to identify the delay timer.
Ok, let me get a better picture here,
are you wanting to heat? or cool? This is a gas heat/ac unit right?
The compressor would be for cooling and the ign control for heat.
So I feel a tad bit silly now. Exactly what are we trying to do and with what?
cooling when tstat call and power is apply tp y status light start blinking six times
equip status is comperssor output delay you are to check anti timer their is no
external anti cycle timer
go to this link, open and go to page 12. We are going to try something but I want to verify this is your unit.
that is the correct wiring diagram
Your welcome, I wish you luck.


text: allclose() is neat in that it handles the 'special' cases of inf and nan. Does there exist a similar function close()? That is, I want to do elementwise float comparisons of two arrays (returning an array of booleans)...and I want all the special cases to be handled. It seems like this should be an obvious function. There are enough lines in allclose() that I don't want to have to reimplement it everytime on my own.

Damage Tolerance for Gas Turbine Engines
|Printable Description
The simultaneous demands for reliability and minimum weight for aircraft and propulsion systems offer some of the most challenging technical problems that structural and safety engineers can encounter. Although much information is available on fracture mechanics and aircraft damage tolerance, this course specifically relates to damage tolerance for gas turbine engines. The need to consider damage tolerance more broadly in new engine designs has just recently been written into FAR 33.70 and new EASA guidelines. With an increasing need for education, both in the U.S. and internationally, this seminar relates directly to the growing interest and priority the AIA, FAA, and engine OEM's have placed on turbine engine damage tolerance.
This two-day seminar offers a broad survey of damage tolerance, one of the many principles behind one of the safest industries in the world. Although the basics of fracture mechanics will be covered, this is not an advanced fracture mechanics course. Attendees will be presented information on how experts in the propulsion community use the principles of prevent, quantify, and improve to keep air travel safe. The instructor will guide participants through notable historical events as well as experiences within a leading engine manufacturing company. The basics of fracture mechanics will be covered with a view towards practical application. Traditional deterministic and the newest probabilistic approaches will be introduced. Finally, attendees will be exposed to a broad range of improvements that have been made to address specific threats within the propulsion business.
Learning Objectives
By attending this seminar, you will be able to:
- Evaluate the sensitivity of structures to different types of damage
- Explain what it means for a design to be "damage tolerant"
- Identify three pronged approach of prevent, quantify, and improve aimed at safety
- Discuss basic principles of fracture mechanics
- Identify steps involved in deterministic and probabilistic approaches
Who Should Attend
This seminar is intended for engineers working in the gas turbine industry. In addition, employees at overhaul shops and individuals involved in product certification will also benefit from the information presented in this seminar.
An engineering degree or similar technical degree is required. Some background in structural analysis, fracture mechanics, materials, or design would be helpful.

Title: Targeting the Unfolded Protein Response to Circumvent Endocrine Resistance in Breast Cancer
Investigator: Robert Clarke, PhD, DSc; Georgetown University Medical Center
The DoD Breast Cancer Research Program is a fabulous program. You know we all live from hand-to-mouth in many ways-particularly in the current environment-and funding from any source is valuable. But the way in which it's selected in BCRP, it feels so much better [Laughs]. It's like it's a greener dollar in a sense, because you know that not only has it gone through peer review, but you know that people who live with this disease have also felt that what you were trying to achieve had relevance for them.
There's a big question that I would like to help answer, and that's "Why do some breast tumors respond well to endocrine treatments and others don't?" And "Why do some initially seem to respond very well and then later come back?" And the earlier work that we had done led us to think that a certain stress response, called the unfolded protein response, might play a significant role in sensing what endocrine therapy is doing to breast cancer cells, and how those cells choose to respond to it. And we found one component of that which required the splicing of a specific gene that we thought was really important in driving that survival response, which would lead to resistance. And so we identified that as a molecular target, and we were able to find some small molecules that seem to block that splicing event. And we think that might lead to some new treatments and some new ways of understanding the stress response, and how it contributes to both resistance and perhaps also to dormancy.
What we think happens with endocrine therapies is it changes the cell's metabolism. So the cell doesn't have enough energy to fold all of its proteins properly, particularly if the cell is attempting to make copies of itself. So one of the things we've known for a long time about endocrine therapies is cells that are sensitive stop at G0, G1 of the cell cycle-complete wherever they are-and you have this profound cell cycle arrest. The cells just go to sleep. We think that's because when they can't fold their proteins adequately, they use all of their reserves to finish the cell cycle and they stop. Now they've got all the material they needed to make another copy, but they made the decision not to use it. So let's not waste anything; we'll recycle it, which allows the cell then to digest the bits and pieces that it doesn't need. And it's really going to sleep, so it's turning off a lot of its basic needs, and it's simply feeding off itself until it can figure out how to get its metabolism back into balance. And if it can't, it either goes to sleep and dies of old age, or it dies. If it can, it sits there long enough until it can get its metabolism to a point where it can support making, executing the decision to go through the cell cycle, and off it goes and makes a copy of itself, and you've got recurrence.
So this is now focusing in on the little piece of the overall programming that we're interested in looking at. And IRE-1 is a fascinating molecule because it activates that gene XBP1, and it does so by splicing it. This becomes a transcription factor when it's spliced. And so if we could stop it being spliced, it's unstable, its turnover is very rapid, and it can't function as a transcription factor so well. And so you block the cell's survival process, if would could knock this out. So that's the concept behind the DoD grant that we have.
We know it doesn't explain everything, but it seems to explain a significant component of the resistance phenotype because the short-term response to this allows the cells to survive the drug. But we think it also explains the dormant phenotype because it allows the cells to go to sleep for years and years and years. I want to understand how that signaling that makes that differentiation and says we're going to live and if we live we're going to make a copy, because if I can intervene in any of those places in a way that was specific to breasts, I would have a very targeted treatment.
I think the Breast Cancer Research Program has fundamentally changed the research landscape for breast cancer. It has not just funded outstanding science, but it funds young investigators. It's funded different stages of the program-it has funded graduate students and post-docs and clinical fellows. It's funded those people who will take whatever those of us-who are more advanced in their careers-they will take that knowledge forward in the future. So it's not just what have they achieved today, they've changed the landscape for the future.

NewswireToday - /newswire/ -
Newcastle-under-Lyme, Staffordshire, United Kingdom, 2007/10/10 - A perfect birthday present for one of manufacturing's youngest MDs.
A string of high profile contract wins has proved a perfect fourth birthday present for one of the UKs youngest managing directors.
Anna Stevenson, who started Millennium Pressed Metal after completing an A-Level feasibility study in 2003, has seen turnover more than double to £800k after securing orders in the electronic, automotive and medical sectors.
She now has ambitious plans to take the companys annual sales past a million pounds and build on new efficiency gains at their two sites.
2007 started with a trip to meet the Queen and this really set the tone for the next nine months, with our ability to handle short lead-time work and complicated projects really in demand from customers needing additional capacity, suffering labour shortages or requiring specialist expertise, explained 25 year-old Anna.
One of the biggest wins recently has been our work with Kiyokuni to produce a specialist plate to go in the back of HD televisions. This is the one of the most complex parts we do and requires 3 different processes, trimming and cutting a perfect example of the type of work we are now doing on a regular basis.
She continued: In addition to this, we are also producing garden equipment, suspension parts for lorries and frames for hospital beds a diverse collection you could say.
Millennium Pressed Metal, which has been assisted by Business Link West Midlands, is now looking to make the most of this order boom by increasing its efficiency through the implementation of a new Trojan MRP (Material Requirements Planning) system.
Using financial and strategic support from supply chain initiative Accelerate, the rapid turnaround specialist can now use the latest technology to track jobs from starts to finish through a bar code process.
It is already helping to increase workflow at the 17,000 sq ft Castle Mill work, maximise stock inventory and boost quality levels, an important asset with the company heading towards the TS16949 global quality standard.
Andrew Clarke, who has recently joined the company as Finance Director, is leading the drive for best practice:
We are at a very important stage of our development and need to make sure we continue to provide existing and potential customers with the best possible service.
He continued: The Trojan system is one part of this approach and, when combined with £100k investment in new presses and staff development, is a very powerful platform going forward.
We are now looking at ways of increasing our welding capacity and adopting our own in-house assembly unit.
Millennium Pressed Metals success story has not gone unnoticed within the industry, with the firm securing a number of awards for its innovative approach to manufacturing.
It has also caught the attention for the fact that 25 of its 37-strong workforce are women, proving that girl power can make a difference in what is commonly perceived as a male dominated industry.
Its a talking point at first I suppose, but at the end of the day the client just wants efficient and cost effective service. They also want trust, trust that we will do what they want to the best standard and in the timescale required, pointed out Anna.
We score highly in both areas and this is thanks to the skill, experience and commitment of our staff, not the fact they are male or female.

MALVERN Town manager Les Jones has challenged his team to make an immediate return to winning ways at Willenhall Town tomorrow (3pm).
The HDanywhere Community Stadium side made a flying start in the West Midlands Football League Premier Division, winning their first four matches.
However, the run came to an abrupt halt on Tuesday when they lost 1-0 at home to Wellington.
Malvern also host Wednesfield on Tuesday (7.45pm).
Jones said: "It was frustrating we didn't perform well enough or create enough chances against Wellington but over the five games we are delighted.
"The main thing now is to come back tomorrow and get a result."
Defender Aaron Richards was sent off against Wellington for a two-footed tackle and will serve a three-game ban next month.
Malvern are without striker Lee Hooper (rib injury), midfielder Matt Cole (wedding) and defender Jamie Thomas (honeymoon) tomorrow.

This blog post is part of the HBR Online Forum The CEO's Role in Fixing the System.
The experience of Esquel Group proves that a stakeholder-based strategy is feasible in even the toughest of industries.
It's a myth that the garment industry's growth must be tied with the overuse of labor and that competition must be based on low wages. The perception has been eroding our industry's image and has caused many in our industry to assume that R&D, innovation, and social contribution are unaffordable luxuries in a fiercely cost-based competitive game.
This philosophy has started to take its toll. We are facing increasingly stiffer challenges in attracting people, persuading governments that we create more value than just minimum-wage employment, and convincing society that we can bring about positive changes.
The garment industry must transform itself to remain relevant. And it has to do so by adopting completely new strategies — those that are able to integrate the industry's pursuit of growth and profitability with the values and interests of its stakeholders.
At Esquel Group, we have been committed to this philosophy over the last three decades and are trying to promote it beyond our corporate boundary. Our stakeholder-based strategy rests on the following key pillars:
People: The human factor plays a central role in our operations, and thus our business growth must be tied to the growth of our people. We have been deploying technology, re-engineering, training, and adopting modern IT-enabled management platforms to help our workers improve their productivity, hence their income. Increasing income by giving handouts can only be counted as transfers and is unsustainable.
We have positioned ourselves not just as a productivity-driving force but also as an agent of society by investing in education and health care for our people. Contrary to the common fear that educated and skillful workers are more difficult to retain, our experience is that workers' attachment to us grows as they absorb and share our values and passion.
Customers and suppliers: The ultimate goal of our business is not to sell products but to serve customers. By competing on products, we respond to the market. By competing on serving customers, we can understand, anticipate, stimulate, and influence market demands. Our customer base, in a broader sense, includes not only those to whom we sell directly but also the ones our customers serve: end consumers. A winning strategy is the strategy which cares about not only direct consumption-linked factors but also societal needs such as environmental and health concerns.
Suppliers play far more than a supplementary role in our supply chain. We strive to build a long-time dedicated partnership and to share knowledge and experience with them. We don't see our relationship with the suppliers as a zero-sum game where we benefit from attempts to lower purchasing costs; rather we see it as a win-win game where both sides collaborate and share gains from higher quality, shorter lead times, and better consistency in delivering our products. With our cotton farmers in Xinjiang, we changed many of the unfair trade practices and now aim for more than just fair trade by promoting higher cotton yields and quality through assistance in cotton research, farming techniques, and access to micro-finance.
Location: Our industry has been trapped in an outdated approach to positioning our investment locations. We have been focused on the "static" comparative advantages of a location — particularly cheap labor — and tried to exploit them to the fullest. Such an approach has neither created a favorable perception among the stakeholder communities nor established sustainable competitive edges for the industry.
Instead, we, as businesses, should look at how we could contribute to the location's value propositions. Esquel is committed to seeking innovative business solutions to sustain our operations in high-cost locations like Malaysia and Coastal China and improving the economy of the locations by creating spill-over effects through cluster linkages.
Environment: Scarcity of natural resources and degradation of environment are among the most acute challenges facing us. We place a high priority in our strategy not only on tackling but more importantly preventing pollution and conserving natural resources. We pride ourselves on finding ways (through R&D) to use less energy and water in the production process.
CEOs and boards: Esquel's governance and incentive structure allow it to persistently embrace and pursue the values described above.
In our view, CEO performance should no longer be assessed purely on financial returns; long-term values reflecting stakeholders' interests should be taken into account, too. Rather than choosing CEOs purely on the basis of their professional skills, large companies with diverse cultural and value backgrounds should consider whether candidates have the right set of values and be able to instill a culture of values — whether they could "lead" rather than "manage" the team and, more broadly, society. CEOs nowadays should literally possess a blend of acute business and management skills, a savvy mastery of political and societal issues, and an ability to engage various stakeholder groups.
Board of directors should play an active role in working with the CEO to promote and instill the right culture. The board should step out of its traditional focus on governance and compliance and be more involved in setting the corporate value system. At Esquel, our E-culture (Ethics, Environment, Exploration, Excellence, and Education) has been broadly embraced by our people not because of top-down imposition from management but because it has reflected the self-interested values of our stakeholders.
Much of our corporate strategy is geared towards the long term, and this is where I believe lies the strength of private companies. The companies that focus on quarterly results often have to make trade-offs in the most vulnerable links — the workers and the long-term environment.
This is a manifestation of problems in modern capitalism, where return on capital is far higher than that on labor. "Cold" metrics of monetary return are giving way to "warm" metrics of non-monetary return such as happiness, satisfaction, and influence. Only when our system is able to recognize and pursue such new value systems can chronic problems of conflicting interests, immorality, and short-termism be fixed.

BRAD Pitt has confessed caring for his and Angelina Jolie's six kids is
tougher than acting in bruising action movies.
Speaking at the London premiere of his new film Killing Them Softly, he said:
"Does it ache? Sure. The knees have gone, the back is crunchy.
"Getting the kids ready for school is every bit as painful as anything I had
to do in this film." Hollywood hunk Brad,
48, also confirmed he and Angelina, 37, will wed, although there is much
to plan.
One thing decided is that close pal George Clooney, 51, will only be an usher

I found this a few months ago and like to wear it either on a sterling chain or on a string of pearls. There is no mark on the back but the pearls are real: five black, ten pink, and ten white pearls (I really need to learn to take better pictures - the colours are off). The little stones are rhinestones, and the metal looks like it is rhodium plated. The pendant is about 2 inches.
Thanks for looking :)

Original Press Release
Larson Electronics Announces Release of 150 Watt LED High Bay Light to Replace 400 Watt Metal Halide Fixtures
Press release date: Jun 13, 2013
The GAU-HB-30X5W-1227 LED high bay light from Larson Electronics is a powerful and rugged industrial grade lighting solution that gives operators the ability to replace their bulky and aging HID lighting systems with a light weight, efficient, and longer lived alternative. This LED high bay light pulls only 150 watts at 1.25 amps from standard 120 VAC, yet produces light output comparable to that of 400 watt metal halide light fixtures. Like metal halide fixtures, the light from this LED light is bright white and very evenly distributed, but unlike metal halide, these LED fixtures run much cooler and do not experience color shifting and erratic operation as the lamp ages. These fixtures also do not require any ballast or large reflector assembly, making them smaller, lighter, and more reliable than standard HID systems which require ballasts to power the bulb and large reflectors to effectively distribute light output. Additionally, while a metal halide lamp may run for up to 20,000 hours before it loses its color quality and must be replaced, these LED light fixtures can run for 50,000 or more hours with no discernible color shift or changes in operating performance. These lights are constructed of heavy gauge aluminum for light weight and durability and have an unbreakable lens to resist damage from scratching and impacts. These fixtures feature CREE XLamp-XPG® LED s for the highest performance and also have advanced LED drivers which actively manage current input and heat levels, allowing these lights to maintain maximum light output without any of the excessive heat buildup or voltage spikes that can damage lower grade LED fixtures. These lights come with an adjustable trunnion style mounting bracket that allows operators to mount the unit to flat surfaces and adjust the fixture angle for optimum beam placement and work area coverage. Ten feet of included cable with open flying leads provides ample length for wiring the unit into existing conduit and junctions. The GAU-HB-30X5W-1227 Led high bay light is ideal for operators who want to improve on the reliability and efficiency of their existing lighting systems without compromising light quality and coverage of the workspace. Their light weight, compact size, simple construction and easy mounting make them ideal for replacing high bay fixture installations and also suitable for other locations such as work stations, wall attachment, and just about anywhere powerful and reliable lighting is needed in the industrial workplace.
"This GAU-HB-30X5W-1227 high bay LED light is designed for replacing fragile gas burning 400 watt metal halide fixtures," said Rob Bresnahan with Larson Electronics' LarsonElectronics.com. "This metal halide alternative high bay LED light is a highly durable, IP68 rated and can withstand dust, dirt, dampness and extreme vibration. With a lower current draw and higher life hours, the GAU-HB-30X5W-1227 is ideal for lowering energy consumption and maintenance hours for any warehouse or work environment. "
Larson Electronics manufactures and carries a comprehensive line of industrial grade LED lights, hazardous location lights, LED work lights and portable explosion proof lights, and continually expands its lighting inventory to include the latest in professional lighting technology.

I've read through lots of the posts before making my own and I am curious. There have been a few people who shoot loads of footage and then seem to review it to find their story later. Stupid question, and I dont mean to sound like an ass, but dont you go in with a (if not the) story already in mind? I was half (and not the creative half) of a karaoke doc some years ago. I was the person getting releases signed, lining up the next interview, working the crowd, manning the equipment, and operating the camera. The vision of what that story would be was not mine, not my project. I shot what I was told to shoot.
Now I am shooting in Thailand where the story is whatever I find and want to tell. How common is it that the doc is shot in such a way that you just get as much footage in general as you can and decipher the story later? I like to have a plan but I would say that is working against me here.

The Kill That Died
After Perfect PK Night, Extra Attacker Goals Doom Miami
by Dane DeKrey/Staff Writer
by Dane DeKrey/Staff Writer
WASHINGTON, D.C. The irony is crushing.
There was 18 minutes of power play time in Saturday night's championship game between Boston University and Miami, with no goals scored by either team; yet the final two goals of regulation were scored with an extra attacker on the ice for BU.
How could this be?
The answer is the coaching decision of BU's Jack Parker. With 3 minutes, 21 seconds left in the third period and his team two goals down to Miami, Parker pulled freshman goaltender Kieran Millan and sent an extra attacker onto the ice. It was a Hail Mary, nothing-to-lose, Dean Blais-circa-2001 gamble by one of college hockey's all-time coaching legends.
The gamble paid off.
BU scored two goals in the final minute of regulation to pull even with Miami and send the game into overtime, a game the Terriers eventually won.
"I've never used Zach Cohen 6-on-5 before," said Parker, after the game. "I put him out there because of his size and effort and how well he was playing tonight, and he goes out and gets the goal to get us back in it."
Moreover, the two 6-on-5 "power-play" goals by BU magnified the game's most glaring disparity: Miami's lack of production on the traditional power play versus BU's success with the extra attacker.
"I think it's a little bit different," said Miami captain Brian Kaufman, of 6-on-5 versus 5-on-4 play. "At that point in the game, it's a little bit of a scramble. Coach [Blasi] was saying there are no rules, do whatever you can to keep the puck out of the net, but obviously that didn't work out for us two times in a row."
The reason it didn't work out for Miami in the final minute of regulation was as much a product of its lack of execution as it was a product of BU's execution."
"They ran it perfectly," admitted Kaufman. "The last goal was an unbelievable goal and all the credit goes to them. We worked our butts off to keep the puck out of the net and they just did a little better job."
There was another bitter irony there. Blasi's mentor, George Gwozdecky, won his first national championship in 2004 when his team killed off a lengthy 6-on-3 advantage by Maine, with Denver ahead 1-0. It was perhaps the most exciting two minutes in the history of the NCAA championship, until tonight. But with Gwozdecky looking on, Miami couldn't pull off the same trick — that no-holds-barred approach — not even with two extra players.
It was the type of man-advantage execution on BU's part that eluded Miami all game – sustained control of the puck in the offensive zone, a sequence of passes to create a quality scoring chance, and a player finishing the play with a goal.
Miami's lack of production on the power play wasn't for a lack of chances, as BU committed seven penalties in the game, including three in succession in the first period. Instead, as was the recurring theme on the night, it was the combination of lack of execution by Miami's power play unit and execution by BU's penalty kill unit.
"The last couple of games we've had our chances on the power play and we weren't able to capitalize and you look at it now and that hurts," said Miami's Carter Camper. "But they [BU] have a great penalty kill. They have big defenseman with big smart sticks and anytime we had a shot or an opportunity, they collapsed and were able to block shots from getting through to the goalie."
A telling statistic to strengthen Camper's observation: On seven power play opportunities, Miami had only eight shots on net and just one quality scoring chance, which, fittingly, went wide of the net.
In fairness, it wasn't Miami's lack of effectiveness on the power play that singularly led to its demise on Saturday night, as BU earned its fifth national championship by literally pulling a rabbit out of the hat in the game's final minute of regulation.
But there is no disputing Miami's squandering of 14 minutes of tilted ice was a difference maker.
"I think it was a big deal," said Kaufman, of Miami's special teams play. "We always talk every game about special teams being a big key, and I thought our penalty kill did a very good job and that we got a lot of chances on the power play; but we didn't execute and ultimately that's all that matters."
For BU, its special teams, in oddly unique fashion, did exactly what Miami hoped its special teams would do – execute and be a factor in the game.
While they may have not been the traditional power play goals that were scored by BU on Saturday night, with the national championship trophy now in the team's possession, it makes no matter if it was 6-on-5 or 5-on-4 when the goals were scored; all that matters is that they went in.

Girls basketball: Trojans take command early, roll over New Ulm at home
WORTHINGTON — Capitalizing on the effectiveness of its full-court pressuring defensive tactics Saturday afternoon, the well-balanced Worthington Trojans took command early in a non-conference high school girls' basketball game at the WHS gymnasium and claimed a convincing 77-51 victory over Section 2AAA opponent New Ulm.
The Eagles, who have posted recent wins over St. James (46-27, Jan. 30) and Lake Crystal/Wellcome Memorial (51-32, Feb. 11), were no match for a Worthington squad which came up with 17 steals in the contest and had eight players combine for 51 first-half points.
"We were able to get several easy transition baskets off of steals from our press," exclaimed Trojans' head coach Eric Lindner. "Then, after we stopped dribbling and passed the ball better, we were able to get lots of good inside-out movement in our half-court offense — which allowed us to hit some nice perimeter shots."
WHS junior forward Ana Boever drilled a pair of NBA-range treys in the early going as the Trojans continually expanded their lead. The always-aggressive Boever scored 14 of her game-high 20 points in the first half.
With the score more than doubled at intermission, 51-24, the Trojan starters played only briefly in the second half as Lindner experimented with different combinations and utilized the entire team.
By game's end, the Trojans — who had only 12 turnovers in the whole contest — shared the ball for a total of 19 assists, blocked four shots and earned a slight 26-24 rebounding edge.
In addition to those 17 steals. New Ulm, by contrast, had just four steals and the Eagles lost possession 25 times on turnovers.
"We were able to get lots of girls plenty of court time and they all contributed," praised Lindner. "We really did a good of defending inside the arc, taking away New Ulm's inside game very well."
The Eagles (4-18 overall, 0-5 vs. section opponents) did make seven three-point shots — spread among four players — but scored only 11 two-point baskets the entire 36 minutes.
Saturday was the final home game of the regular season for the Trojans, who improved to 18-2 overall.
The triumph was the team's first win of the campaign against a Section 2AAA rival, as Marshall (which has given WHS its only two losses) is the only other section foe which Worthington has faced this winter.
The Trojans will play another section opponent this week when they tangle with the Willmar Cardinals (9-12, 3-2) Friday night in Willmar.
"That game is going to be important for us as far as the section seedings are concerned," noted Lindner. "We need to win at Willmar."
The Trojans, who are 8-2 in the Southwest Conference, also have two away games left in the league. They play at Jackson County Central Monday and at Redwood Valley Feb. 24.
RV is 14-7 overall and currently in third place in the Southwest (7-3), just a game behind the second-place Trojans.
In addition to her 20 points Saturday, Boever snagged six rebounds and had a team-high six steals.
Brooke Henning (14 points), Apiew Alwal (10 points), Abbie Landgaard (nine points, five rebounds, four assists) and Paige Gravenhof (four assists) were Worthington's other statistical leaders.
"With so many girls playing a lot of minutes, the stats were really spread out," concluded Lindner. "We just had a nice balanced team performance."

The 1949 Armistice Agreements are a set of agreements signed during 1949 between Israel and neighboring Egypt,[1] Lebanon,[2] Jordan,[3] and Syria.[4] The agreements ended the official hostilities of the 1948 Arab-Israeli War, and established Armistice Demarcation Lines between Israeli forces and the forces in Jordanian-held West Bank, also known as the Green Line. The United Nations established supervising and reporting agencies to monitor the established armistice lines. In addition, discussions related to the armistice enforcement, led to the signing of the separate Tripartite Declaration of 1950 between the United States, Britain and France. In it, they pledged to take action within and outside the United Nations to prevent violations of the frontiers or armistice lines. It also outlined their commitment to peace and stability in the area, their opposition to the use or threat of force, and reiterated their opposition to the development of an arms race. These lines held until the 1967 Six-Day War.
On 6 January 1949, Dr. Ralph Bunche announced that Egypt had finally consented to start talks with Israel on an armistice. The talks began on the Greek island of Rhodes on 12 January. Shortly after their commencement, Israel agreed to the release of a besieged Egyptian brigade in Faluja, but soon rescinded their agreement.[5] At the end of the month, the talks floundered. Israel demanded that Egypt withdraw all its forces from the former area of Mandate Palestine. Egypt insisted that Arab forces withdraw to the positions which they held on 14 October 1948, as per the Security Council Resolution S/1070 of 4 November 1948, and that the Israeli forces withdraw to positions north of the Majdal–Hebron road.
The deadlock culminated on 12 February 1949 with the murder of Hassan al-Banna, leader of the Islamist group Muslim Brotherhood. Israel threatened to abandon the talks, whereupon the United States appealed to the parties to bring them to a successful conclusion.
On 24 February the Israel–Egypt Armistice Agreement was signed in Rhodes.[1] The main points of the armistice agreement were:
The agreement with Lebanon was signed on 23 March 1949.[2] The main points were:
The agreement with Jordan was signed on 3 April 1949.[3] The main points:
In March 1949 as the Iraqi forces withdrew from Palestine and handed over their positions to the smaller Jordanian legion, 3 Israeli brigades manoeuvred into positions of advantage in Operation Shin-Tav-Shin. The operation allowed Israel to renegotiate the cease fire line in the Wadi Ara area of the Northern West Bank in a secret agreement reached on 23 March 1949 and incorporated into the General Armistice Agreement. The green line was then redrawn in blue ink on the southern map to give the impression that a movement into green line had been made.[8] The events that led to a change in the Green Line was an exchange of fertile land in the Bethlehem area to Israeli control and the village of Wadi Fukin being given to Jordanian control. On 15 July when the Israeli Army expelled the population of Wadi Fukin after the village had been transferred to the Israeli-occupied area under the terms of the Armistice Agreement concluded between Israel and the Jordan Kingdom the Mixed Armistice Commission decided on 31 August, by a majority vote, that Israel had violated the Armistice Agreement by expelling villagers across the demarcation line and decided that the villagers should be allowed to return to their homes. However, when the villagers returned to Wadi Fukin under the supervision of the United Nations observers on September 6, they found most of their houses destroyed and were again compelled by the Israeli Army to return to Jordanian controlled territory.[9]
The United Nations Chairman of the Mixed Commission, Colonel Garrison B. Coverdale (US), pressed for a solution of this issue to be found in the Mixed Armistice Commission, in an amicable and UN spirit. After some hesitation, this procedure was accepted and finally an agreement was reached whereby the Armistice Demarcation Line was changed to place Wadi Fukin under Jordanian authority who, in turn, agreed to transfer of some uninhabited, but fertile territory south of Bethlehem to Israel control.[9]
The agreement with Syria was signed on July 20, 1949.[4] Syria withdrew its forces from most of the territories it controlled west of the international border, which became demilitarized zones. It was emphasised that the armistice line was "not to be interpreted as having any relation whatsoever to ultimate territorial arrangements." (Article V)
Iraq, whose forces took an active part in the war (although it has no common border with Israel), withdrew its forces from the region in March 1949. The front occupied by Iraqi forces was covered by the armistice agreement between Israel and Jordan[3] and there was no separate agreement with Iraq.
The new military frontiers for Israel, as set by the agreements, encompassed about 78% of mandatory Palestine as it stood after the independence of Transjordan (now Jordan) in 1946. The areas of Palestine not occupied by Israel (the Gaza Strip and West Bank) were occupied by Egypt and Jordan respectively until 1967. See the related articles Occupation of the Gaza Strip by Egypt and Occupation of the West Bank and East Jerusalem by Jordan.
The armistice agreements were intended to serve only as interim agreements until replaced by permanent peace treaties. However, no peace treaties were actually signed until decades later.
The armistice agreements were clear (at Arab insistence) that they were not creating permanent borders. The Egyptian-Israeli agreement stated "The Armistice Demarcation Line is not to be construed in any sense as a political or territorial boundary, and is delineated without prejudice to rights, claims and positions of either Party to the Armistice as regards ultimate settlement of the Palestine question."[1]
The Jordanian-Israeli agreement stated: "... no provision of this Agreement shall in any way prejudice the rights, claims, and positions of either Party hereto in the peaceful settlement of the Palestine questions, the provisions of this Agreement being dictated exclusively by military considerations" (Art. II.2), "The Armistice Demarcation Lines defined in articles V and VI of this Agreement are agreed upon by the Parties without prejudice to future territorial settlements or boundary lines or to claims of either Party relating thereto." (Art. VI.9)[3]
As the Armistice Demarcation Lines were technically not borders, the Arabs considered that Israel was restricted in its rights to develop the DMZ and exploitation of the water resources. Further that as a state of war still existed with the Arab nations, the Arab League was not hindered in their right to deny Israel the freedom of navigation through the Arab League waters. Also it was argued that the Palestinians had the right of return and that the Israeli use of abandoned property was therefore not legitimate.[10]
In the Knesset then Foreign Minister and future Prime Minister Moshe Sharett called the armistice lines "provisional boundaries" and the old international borders which the armistice lines, except with Jordan, were based on, "natural boundaries".[11] Israel did not lay claim to territory beyond them and proposed them, with minor modifications except at Gaza, as the basis of permanent political frontiers at the Lausanne Conference, 1949.[12]
After the 1967 Six Day War several Israeli leaders argued against turning the Armistice Demarcation Lines into permanent borders on the grounds of Israeli security:
The internationally recognized border between Egypt and Israel was eventually demarcated as part of the Israel-Egypt Peace Treaty.[citation needed] The border between Israel and Jordan (except for Jordan's border with the post-1967 West Bank) was demarcated as part of the Israel-Jordan Peace Treaty.[citation needed]
In each case Mixed Armistice Commissions (MACs) were formed under the auspices of the United Nations Truce Supervision Organization, (UNTSO) which investigated complaints by all parties and made regular reports to the UN Security Council.
As part of its dispute with Syria over use of the Demilitarized Zone created by the Israel-Syria Armistice Agreement, Israel from 1951 refused to attend meetings of the Israel/Syria Mixed Armistice Commission. The U.N. Security Council, in its resolution of 18 May 1951, criticized Israel's refusal to participate in Mixed Armistice Commission meetings as being "inconsistent with the objectives and intent of the Armistice Agreement".[13]
The discussion of complaints by the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan/Israel Mixed Armistice Commission during the year 1952 resulted in:
Statistics Taken from The Official Records of The Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan/Israel Mixed Armistice Commission Period from 1 January 1953 Through 15 October 1953:
On 28–29 January 1953 Israeli military forces estimated at 120 to 150 men, using 2-inch (51 mm) mortars, 3-inch mortars, PIAT weapons, bangalore torpedoes, machine-guns, grenades and small arms, crossed the demarcation line and attacked the Arab villages of Falameh and Rantis. At Falameh the mukhtar was killed, seven other villagers were wounded, and three houses were demolished. The attack lasted four and a half hours. Israel was condemned for this act by the Mixed Armistice Commission.[14]
22 April 1953, firing broke out at sunset within Jerusalem along the demarcation line on a length of about 4 kilometres. It lasted two hours, until the cease-fire arranged by United Nations observers came into effect. On the following day, there were isolated shots in the early morning and in the afternoon. There were twenty Jordanian casualties-ten killed and ten wounded. Six Israelis were wounded. The Jerusalem incident was investigated by United Nations observers. After studying the evidence collected, General Riley, in a report to the Security Council on the violation of the cease-fire [S/3607], stated that it appeared impossible to determine who fired the first shot.[14]
On 25, 26 and 27 May, the two parties submitted complaints alleging violation of the General Armistice Agreement by civilians and military personnel in the Al-Dawayima area. In an emergency meeting of the Mixed Armistice Commission, both parties agreed to a mixed investigation. United Nations observers accompanied the representatives to the demarcation line to establish the facts. Despite the cease-fire which had been previously arranged, heavy firing broke out during the investigation. Israel troops had fired across the demarcation line at Jordanians in Jordan territory in response to illegal border trespassing by Jordanian farmers and Israeli soldiers were suspected to have burned crops in Jordan territory. The origin of the incident was the illegal cultivation by Jordanians of land in Israel territory. Armed Jordanians had penetrated Israel territory to harvest crops, and other Jordanians had fired across the demarcation line to protect the harvesters. The Jordanian government took no action to encourage or prevent the actions taken, though later considerations were made.[14]
During the latter part of May 1953, incidents took place which cost the lives of three persons and in which six others were wounded. There seemed to be no motive for these crimes other than killing for the sake of killing.[citation needed] On the night of 25–26 May, an armed group from Jordan attacked two homes in Beit Arif, wounding two women. The same night, armed Jordanians attacked a home in Beit Nabala, killing a woman and wounding her husband and two children. Jordan was condemned for all three of these attacks. On the night of 9 June, armed Jordanians blew up a house in Tirat Yehuda, killing one man, And two nights later an armed band struck at a house in Kfar Hess, killing a woman and seriously wounding her husband. Jordan was again condemned by the Mixed Armistice Commission for these attacks. Both governments were greatly concerned over the happenings during this fortnight, and a great effort was made to stop the work of these groups, which seemed bent on creating tension along the border.[14]
11 August 1953, Israel military forces using demolition mines, bangalore torpedoes, 2-inch mortars, machine-guns and small arms attacked the villages of Idna, Surif and Wadi Fukin, inflicting casualties among the inhabitants and destroying dwellings. The body of an Israel soldier in full uniform with identification tag was found in the village of Idna after the attack. The Mixed Armistice Commission condemned Israel for these attacks.[14]
2 September 1953: Arabs, infiltrated from Jordan, reached the neighbourhood of Katamon, in the heart of Jerusalem where they threw hand grenades in all directions. Miraculously, no one was hurt.[14]
3 September 1953: Sovereignty over the DMZ (Demarcation Zone) between Syria Israel is questioned when Israel start a creeping border attempt by using a water diversion in DMZ; USA threatens to end aid channelled to Israel by the Foreign Operations Administration. Israel moves intake out of DMZ.
In September 1953 the General Headquarters orders Unit 101 to drive Bedouins out from the Negev and push them southward to Sinai. Unit 101 soldiers act aggressively: they raid the Bedouin camp, shooting aimlessly, confiscating arms and burning tents. The Bedouins run away, leaving many wounded behind. For a few days Unit 101 pursuits the Bedouins until they are out of the Negev.
2 October 1953: The explosion of a land mine on the Israel railway north of Eyal derailed an Israel freight train. The Mixed Armistice Commission has held Jordan responsible for this act of violence which fortunately caused no loss of life and relatively little damage, as the train was made up of empty tank cars.
14 October 1953: Qibya massacre – 130 Israeli troops crossed the demarcation line into Qibya village, attacking the inhabitants by firing from automatic weapons and explosives. Forty-one dwelling houses and a school building were destroyed. Resulting in the murder of forty-two lives and the wounding of fifteen persons and the damage of a police car, and at the same time, the crossing of a part of the same group into Shuqba village, breaching article III, paragraph 2 of the General Armistice Agreement. A number of unexploded hand grenades, marked with Hebrew letters and three bags of TNT were found in and about the village.[14][15]
24 November 1953: Resolution 101 the Security Council is passed which "took note of the fact that there is substantial evidence of crossing of the demarcation line by unauthorized persons, ten resulting in acts of violence and requests the Government of Jordan to continue and strengthen the measures which they are already taking to prevent such crossing." The Security Council condemned Israel for the operation in Qibya.
December 1953: The Jordanian authorities carried out the following measures:-[16]
16 December 1953, two Israeli soldiers were killed while on patrol inside Israel territory (approximate M. R. 1433-1097). On 21 December, the Mixed Armistice Commission condemned Jordan for this incident.
18 December 1953, a car was ambushed on the Hebron road (approximate M.R. 1658-1221) inside Jordan and an Arab Legion medical officer was killed. Israel was condemned by the Mixed Armistice Commission for this incident (21 December).
21 December 1953, an armed group attacked a Bedouin camp near Tarqumyia (approximate M.R. 1512-1092) wounding one man. Israel was condemned by the Mixed Armistice Commission for this incident (23 December).
21 December, an armed group, using explosives and automatic weapons, attacked a house near Hebron (approximate M.R. 1591-1066) killing one pregnant woman and two men, and wounding another man. Israel was condemned for this incident (24 December). The last three incidents were apparently reprisal attacks for the killing of the two Israeli soldiers on 16 December. Two Arabs responsible for this crime were arrested by the Jordan police a few days later.
14 February 1954, an Israeli villager on guard duty at Mahasyia, near Deiraban, (approximate M. R. 1510-1282) in the central area, was killed. No evidence was introduced to indicate that Jordanians were guilty of this crime and on 18 February the Chairman voted against the Israeli draft resolution condemning Jordan.
17 February 1954: the Israel delegation complained that five armed persons dressed in khaki crossed the demarcation line during the night and, on the morning of 16 February, stole a flock of 260 sheep belonging to an Israeli kibbutz. According to the complaint, the Israeli shepherd and his flock were taken into caves and kept there till 5.30 p.m. when the shepherd was released and the marauders returned to the Gaza Strip with the flock crossing the demarcation line at M.R. 1067-1024. The Israel delegation considered that "the above was a carefully planned action ordered by the Egyptian authorities and carried out by a well-trained military unit."
17 February 1954: the Israel delegation complained that two Arabs crossed the demarcation line into Israel at M.R. 1018-0992, on 16 February. According to the complaint, they started to escape when challenged by Israeli guards, and fire having been opened on them, one was hit and was dragged over the demarcation line by the second.
18 February, the Mixed Armistice Commission condemned Israel and Jordan for firing across the demarcation line on 14 February near Deir el Ghusun (approximate M. R. 1575-1955) in the northern area. This firing resulted in the killing, of one Jordanian.
18 February: the Israel delegation complained that on 18 February at 1 p.m. two armed Egyptian soldiers crossed the demarcation line at M.R. 10884-10486. According to the complaint, the Egyptian soldiers refused to stop, when challenged by an Israeli patrol; two warning shots were fired; one of the Egyptian soldieries escaped, and the other was killed 15 meters inside Israel territory
18 February: the Israel delegation complained that on 18 February four armed infiltrators crossed the demarcation line into Israel and that when challenged by an Israel patrol at M.R. 1023-1123 they started to escape while firing on the patrol. During the exchange of fire one of the infiltrators was killed.
19 February: the Egyptian delegation complained that on 18 February, at M.R. 1087-1050, a patrol of two Egyptian soldiers in Egyptian territory was attacked by armed Israelis hiding in ambush. One of the Egyptian soldiers was kidnapped and killed inside Israel-controlled territory, close to the demarcation line (Cf. sub-paragraph (c) above summarizing an Israeli complaint dated 18 February).
19 February: the Egyptian delegation complained that on 19 February armed Israelis opened automatic fire across the demarcation line at an Arab working in his field at M.R. 0952-0931. The Arab was seriously injured.
24 February One Arab was reported killed and another wounded by the Egyptian delegation.
16 March 1954, Israelis of the Ein Gev colony began ploughing 130 dunums of land situated near the colony and belonging to the Arab population of demilitarised Nuqeib, in violation of the verbal agreement concluded at Samara in 1950 to the effect that the two parties should retain and work the said land until the problem was settled.
17 March 1954: Ma'ale Akrabim [Scorpion Pass].Terrorists ambushed a bus traveling from Eilat to Tel Aviv, and opened fire at short range when the bus reached the area of Maale Akrabim in the northern Negev. In the initial ambush, the terrorists killed the driver and wounded most of the passengers. The terrorists then boarded the bus, and shot each passenger, one by one. Eleven passengers were murdered. Survivors recounted how the murderers spat on the bodies and abused them. The Israeli claimed that the terrorists could clearly be traced back to the Jordanian border, some 20 km from the site of the terrorist attack. The MAC investigation found that the claim could not be substantiated and that the attack was more likely to have been by Bedu tribesman from within Israel and the Israeli complaint was not upheld.[17]
23 March 1954: The Israel Government has severed all connections with the Mixed Armistice Commission. It has also discontinued attendance at the local commanders' meetings provided for under a separate Israel-Jordan agreement. Israel communications referring to alleged violations by Jordan of the General Armistice Agreement have been addressed to the Secretary-General of the United Nations, with the request that they should be circulated to the members of the Security Council. The Chief of Staff of the Truce Supervision Organization in Jerusalem has been informed of such alleged violations of the General Armistice Agreement only on receiving from New York a copy of the Security Council document. The non-co-operation of the Israel Government has prevented the investigation of such alleged violations in conformity with the provisions of the General Armistice Agreement.
On 29 March 1954, at 07.00 hours, local time, the Jordanian delegation presented to the Chairman of the Mixed Armistice Commission a verbal complaint dealing with an incident which had occurred on 29 March 1954 at 07.00 hours, local time, at Nahhalin village, some 35 kilometers from the demarcation line "an Israel armed force, well equipped, surrounded the village from three directions and penetrated inside the village and opened fire from different automatic weapons, threw hand-grenades and placed mines at some houses, including the mosque of the village. As a result of this brutal attack, 9 persons—8 men and 1 woman—were killed, and 14 others were injured and taken to hospital. Fire lasted for about one hour and a half, and was returned by the village guards. Then the aggressors withdrew. Mines, grenades and other warlike materials bearing Hebrew markings were found on the spot. This complaint was upheld by the Mixed Armistice Commission
30 June 1954, two Israeli armoured launchers attacked the Syrian post of El Koursi, situated on Syrian soil, with their 20-mm. and 57-mm. guns, this time with the support of Israel field artillery sited in the defensive area. This artillery continued firing for approximately one hour and 45 minutes, causing material damage to the post.
5 December 1954, at approximately 16.30 hours, a group of 8 armed Israel State policemen stationed approximately at MR 209600 233400 opened fire on two Arab farmers at approximately MR 209600 233450 in the southern demilitarised zone (Tawafiq). The fire was returned by the two Arabs. One of them was hit by a bullet and immediately taken to hospital. The MAC Decided that the presence of a regular Israel police force in the southern demilitarised zone is a flagrant violation of article V of the General Armistice Agreement and requested that the Israel authorities to pay to the wounded Arab civilian an appropriate compensation
A list of 29 complaints of allegedof 27 October 1953 Report the Chief of Staff of the Truce Supervision Organization.[14] See appendix I, II and II for a tabulated list of Israel and Jordanian complaints to the MAC the number of condemnations given to each country as a result of MAC investigations</ref> infractions of the agreement by Jordan was submitted on April 6, 1954.[18] These alleged[17] infractions included alleged Jordanian attacks on an Israeli civilian bus, killing 11 people (see 17 March above), attacks on Israeli farmers and Bedouin shepherds, sniping at Israeli civilians from the Old City of Jerusalem, kidnappings, shooting at civilian aircraft, ambushing roads and laying mines.[18] In violation of the agreements, the Jordanians denied Jewish access to the holy places in Jerusalem, prohibited visits to Rachel's Tomb and vandalized the Jewish cemetery on the Mount of Olives, using tombstones for construction of pavements and latrines.[citation needed] The 'Uja al-Hafeer demilitarized zone on the Israeli-Egyptian border was the site of numerous border incidents and armistice violations. In September 1955, Ariel Sharon's paratroopers entered the United Nation sector of the demilitarized zone. Benny Morris writes that Sharon "didn't realize that the UN area was off limits for his men."[19] On May 28, 1958, Israel reported a shooting incident in the demilitarized zone on Mount Scopus in which 4 Israel police officers patrolling the botanical gardens of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, along with the United Nations observer sent to extricate them, were killed by Jordanian fire from Issawiya.[20][21] Israel sent soldiers into Jordanian territory to conduct raids in retaliation for incursions by armed persons into Israel.[citation needed] From their positions on the Golan Heights Syrian forces shelled Israeli settlements in the demilitarized zone, attacked fishing boats on the Kinneret and fired on agricultural workers.[22]

The holidays bring along with it lots of opportunity to indulge but it's nice to have options for lighter fare to keep things in check. Rich earthy mushrooms, sweet butternut squash and tart pomegranates pair deliciously with the nutty flavor of millet. Millet is gluten-free so it's a great alternative if you are cooking for someone that is gluten intolerant. Serve this for a healthy modern take on your usual stuffing, it might just start a new family tradition.
Millet Pilaf with Roasted Butternut Squash, Mushrooms and Pomegranate
Serves 4-6
- 1 cup Millet
- 2 Tbsp Olive Oil, divided
- 1 medium Butternut Squash
- 2 Tbsp chopped fresh Sage
- 1 pound Cremini Mushrooms, sliced (any mixture of mushrooms would work)
- 1 cup Pomegranate Seeds
- 1/3 cup roasted Pistachios
- 1 Tbsp Balsamic Vinegar
- ¼ cup chopped Italian Parsley
Pre-heat oven to 375°F. Place squash on a baking sheet, sprinkle with the sage and toss with 2 teaspoons of the olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Roast, stirring once or twice until tender 15-20 minutes.
On a separate baking sheet, toss the mushrooms with 2 teaspoons olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Spread the mushrooms in a single layer and roast for 10 minutes.
To prepare the millet bring 1 quart of water to a boil. Season the water generously with salt as you would for cooking pasta. Add the millet and cook for 13 minutes. Drain the millet into a fine sieve and then place the sieve back over the pot and let steam for an additional 10 minutes until fluffy and dry.
Place the millet in a large bowl and add the squash, mushrooms, parsley and pomegranate, drizzle the balsamic and remaining tablespoon of olive oil over the top and toss gently to combine. Sprinkle the pistachios over the top and serve.

Volvos still serviced in town
NEW SCOTLAND — Volvo owners here can continue to get service where they always have — locally. And those who drove their Volvos, BMWs, or Mini Coopers to Colonie for service at Precision Automotive can now find it closer to home.
The property at 50 Voorheesville Ave. was the longtime home to Voorheesville native Rich Frohlich's auto repair shop, and is now the second location of Precision Automotive. Precision specializes in Volvo repair, following the work Frohlich did, and also sells used Volvos.
The property was offered to Sean Nava and his business partner David Mooney by Rich Frohlich in October 2012. "We repaired some Volvos for him before," Nava said.
"He approached us a couple years ago to plan his retirement," said Nava. "He wanted to have his property go to a reputable business that would take care of his customers."
Nava and Mooney have been leasing the property and plan to buy it in the future.
They have had a Precision Automotive located in Colonie since 2003; Nava described adding a Voorheesville location as "another way to be accommodating to our customers in this area."
Nava started working on cars at 16, and began servicing Volvos specifically at an independent shop when he was 19. His former employer had done business with Mooney — who has been in car sales for over 30 years — which got the two acquainted early on.
A few years later, Nava didn't like the direction his boss was taking the shop, and was bouncing around among vehicle-service related jobs.
One evening, Mooney called him up to talk business.
"I had been fixing his sales cars out of my garage for a while," Nava said, regarding the Colonie Precision location Mooney has owned since 1997.
"He asked me if I wanted to start my own service department at his business… 11 years later, here we are."
Both Precision Automotive locations offer sales and service for Volvos, BMWs, and Mini Coopers.
"We can do everything the dealership can do minus factory warranty repairs," Nava said.

I'm in my early 30s, have my career on track, and am looking for a man to marry and have kids with. I'm not in a rush but want to keep focused so I don't find myself settling for less in a few years. I'm currently monogamous with a guy I really like, but he's got a reputation as a player. I'm wondering if we're attracted to each other because of the challenges: me domesticating him and him trying to have sex with me. I'm weighing whether to get closer or date others. My friends who have met him are split on whether he's a keeper.
He Said: Many of us guys run the streets for a decade or two before we decide to pull into a driveway and park. While it may occasionally be true that a man starts wearing Snuggies for two and watching Glee on the sofa with his fiancée because he met "the one," it's more likely that he met a good woman at the right time. The fact that your guy was a player may not be a reason to discard him—if he's had enough of running around and is ready to focus on quality rather than quantity. However, since neither you nor your girlfriends have a consensus on how sincere he is, you need to act on the knowledge you have. In other words, put him on the friend track for the time being, and keep shopping. He may not like the status, but if you aren't clear on his or your intentions, give him an opportunity to bring more clarity to the situation. Who knows? He might someday add color and cut to round out the offering.
She Said: Well, there's the politically correct, self-help answer: If you're serious about getting married, don't date players. Then there's my honest answer, which is that no woman worth her salt would turn down a man because he has heretofore been extremely successful at getting other women to jump into bed with him. I mean, really, the challenge of domesticating him turns you on for a reason, and it's not a solely neurotic one. It's pure biology. Bottom line: Women want a man whom they know is desirable to other women.
Being a player is something most men outgrow sooner or later. You simply need to ascertain whether your man is there yet. Has he been sticking to his word, calling when he says he will, following through? Has he introduced you to his family or met yours? Is he integrating you into his social circle and vice versa? Does he make future plans? Does this reputation of his include how long he usually sticks around, and are you two past that point yet? You need to deal with the current facts instead of looking at the past.
Instead of running from a challenge, a smart woman takes these things into account. If all signs point toward his ability to grow into a committed partner, there's no reason to toss him. If the signs are unclear, then simply ask him how serious he is (and if he runs from that question, you have your answer). Putting him on the friend track or dating others is only going to increase his player tendencies and make him pursue you, but that's not the information you need. You need to know if he'll stay the course once he has you (which is now)—not whether he'll pursue once you run away. Most men will chase a woman who distances herself, but that doesn't equal staying power.

FALLS CHURCH, Va. (ABP) — Seven children and one adult were reported missing after a Baptist church in El Salvador collapsed amid heavy rains and flooding caused by Hurricane Ida Nov. 8.
First Baptist Church in San Vicente was in an area in central El Salvador hit particularly hard by heavy rain during the night between Nov. 7 and Nov. 8. Government officials said 136 people were killed and at least 72 were missing because of mudslides and floods in the country of 5.7 million.
Concord Baptist Association in Jefferson City, Mo., has an ongoing mission partnership wth Baptists in El Salvador. Calvin Brown, the association's director of missions, said Nov. 10 that he had spoken with a man traveling in the area — but that with roads closed due to flooding it might be Nov. 12 before his contact is able to reach the San Vicente area. Brown said he heard an unconfirmed report that, in all, nine members of First Baptist Church had died and several member families had lost their homes.
"We are mourning because today once again the rain has provoked desolation and death," Gloria Cabrera de Rivera, former president of the Baptist Women's Union of Latin America, wrote in an e-mail to the Baptist World Alliance.
Christian relief organizations geared up to respond to needs of about 13,000 people who saw their homes damaged by landslides or cut off by floodwaters in the tiny country. About the size of Massachusetts, El Salvador is located on the Pacific coast of Central America.
Sonia Valiente, president of the Baptist Association of El Salvador, said there is an urgent need for food, clean water and other supplies like mattresses. Cabrera de Rivera said there is also great need for clothing and shelter.
Neville Callam, the BWA's general secretary, expressed condolences and offered prayers on behalf of the global Baptist community. He said the global Baptist organization's relief-and-development arm, Baptist World Aid, "stands ready to offer any assistance we can."
Although Hurricane Ida did not hit El Salvador directly, the rain-creating weather system associated with the storm caused three days of heavy preciptation, including 14 inches of rain in one four-hour period. An estimated 1,800 homes were damaged or destroyed by rain-cauesd mud-and-rockslides from the volcano Chinchontepec.
"The coastal zone on the Pacific side and places bordering have been flattened," Cabrera de Rivera reported. "The volcanic mud slides have flattened anything that they have come in contact with and carried away human lives, houses and anything that existed."
After brushing El Salvador, a weakened Hurricane Ida made landfall in southern Alabama as a tropical storm early on Nov. 10.
