Olympic champion Ryan Lochte just scored his own TV show on E! called What Will Ryan Lochte Do? While he has TV experience (he had a cameo in Beverly Hills 90210), this is his first time putting his personality front and center over his athleticism. So, will he sink or swim?
As a Leo, Ryan loves attention, so he will probably thrive in front of the camera. While he's not known for his brains, his brawn will be enough to attract fans into his life. His comments will have to be the comic relief for fans watching him pump iron for six episodes. Chances are, the show won't go on much longer than that, as he has no striking aspects that will make him unique in the competitive world of media. However, associations are lucky for him, so playing part of a team serves him well. Being part of a TV ensemble would give him a higher chance of maintaining the spotlight.

CD/LP/Track Review
Ray Bryant: North of the Border
New Jazz Chamber Music from None Other than Ray Bryant.
A new myth is carefully woven in the fabric of producer Joel Dorn's career. This one involves a trash sack of cassette tapes collected by pianist Ray Bryant's sound engineer of live Bryant performances over the past number of years. Out of this entire trash sack, Dorn found about 50 performances that Bryant liked. Dorn further narrowed this down to about ten performances for release. The first of these was the release of Somewhere in France (LabelM "Live", 5701, 2000). This recording captured Bryant in a solo piano recital that compares favorably with his Alone at Montreux (32 Jazz 32128, 1999).
North of the Border
contains the typical Ray Bryant fare. That is to say, precision soul-jazz and Be Bop playing, this time with trio members Harry Anderson and Winard Harper. Bryant covers a lot of the same territory he covered in a solo fashion on Somewhere in France. Reprised here are "Slow Freight", "Django", and "Good Morning Heartache". These songs swing hard with the rhythm section underpinning, offering a great addition to Bryant's performance repertoire. "Lil' Darlin'", "Nardis", and "Moanin'" rock. Recorded at the Montreal Jazz Bistro in 1997, this is contemporary Ray Bryant.Joel Dorn hints in the liner notes that he will be releasing a new Ray Bryant disc every year. Let's hope so.
Track Listing: Slow Freight; Django; Lil' Darlin'; Good Morning Heartache; Nardis; Moanin'; Con Alma; When Sunny Gets Blue; Little Susie. (Total Time: 59:35)
Personnel: Ray Bryant: Piano; Harry Anderson: Bass; Winard Harper: Drums.
Record Label: Label M
Style: Straight-ahead/Mainstream

750 Iowans Enrolled in Health Care Options
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) -- Just over 750 Iowa residents have enrolled in private health insurance plans using the federal marketplace website.
New data released by the federal government Wednesday shows that enrollment is edging up in Iowa. But the enrollment number represents a fraction of the people who have applied for coverage on the website.
In October and November, nearly 13,000 applications were completed on the website, for insurance to cover roughly 25,000 people. Out of those applicants, 750 were able to complete the process and sign up for private insurance.
From those applications, about 5,000 individuals have been deemed eligible for financial assistance to pay for insurance and roughly 7,400 will be eligible for low-income health programs like Medicaid.
Federal authorities have been working to fix glitches on the enrollment website.

This is a new version of the sailcalculator (3.52), 4/20/07, which allows for auto conversion of metric entry data to the units (feet, pounds) used by the calculator and adds enhanced error information. Version (3.0.6), 7/30/07, corrects a "bug" in version 3.0, "Part 4", improves duplicate detection, and (in 3.0) automates the updates process. The older version is available at sailcalc1087.html. Please report any problems with this to email@example.com. Note: I can no longer correct malformed or "raw data"* submissions.
You can use it to look up sailboat parameters in a large database of boats, or enter your own boat and compare to the others. In addition, for any boat you can calculate a set of quantities that will help you measure how it will perform. Version 1 of the Sail Calculator maintained a database of the calculated figures of merit submitted by the user and reverse calculated the basic data such as LOA, sometimes with a 5% error. Starting with version 2 the basic data is archived and the figures of merit are directly calculated from it. Since the basic data was not previously archived, the reverse calculated values are used for 500 of the boats included in the current database, many of these have since been corrected by users ( as of 10/29/07). Also all data included was entered by users , I do not check their entries so I cannot warrant their accuracy. . For these reasons if you see any of the basic data that you know to be incorrect for any of the boats please send the corrections to email@example.com. Version 2.5 adds the ability to restrict the calculator (Parts 3 and 4) to a specific category of boats. Version 2.6 adds the ability to calculate Pounds per Inch Immersion. Version 2.7 refines the function of the 'optimiser' in Part 4. View Source for acknowledgements and open source statement. This version was last modified on and contains boats. |

Purple Sprouting Broccoli with Chilli and Sesame Dressing
This is something a little different to ring the changes whilst we have an abundance of sprouting broccoli. I think it goes very well with most oriental dishes or just by itself with some steamed rice.
Serves 3-4

You will also need a saucepan fitted with a fan steamer. |
This recipe is taken from Delia's Vegetarian Collection.
First prepare the broccoli by cutting it into even-sized pieces – stalks and all.
Then place the saucepan fitted with a fan steamer on the heat then add the broccoli and pour in about an inch of boiling water from the kettle then sprinkle with salt. Put a lid on and time it for about 4 minutes.
Meanwhile, to make the dressing, you need first of all to toast the sesame seeds. To do this use a small, solid frying pan, pre-heat it over a medium heat without oil, then add the sesame seeds and toast them, moving them around in the pan to brown them evenly.
As soon as they begin to splutter, pop and turn golden, they're ready, which will take about 1-2 minutes. Then just remove them to a serving bowl and simply stir in all the rest of the ingredients.
When it's cooked, remove the broccoli from the steamer and transfer to a warm serving bowl. Then drizzle over the dressing all over. Toss it around and serve straight away.

Film an entire day and night in timelapse in the woods of the Pacific Northwest with a 180 degree circular fisheye lens.
CONCEPT: The concept is to make one continuous timelapse shot following the night and day sky over the span of an entire day, 24 hours. The film is called "Warm Earth, Which I've Been Told" and is built around music by Six Organs of Admittance, who have generously given me their full support and music rights for this film. The entire film will be shot on a digital camera with a 180º circular fisheye lens (brand new Canon lens technology), allowing the entire horizon and sky to be visible in frame.
The fisheye will contain the images in a circle, representing the shape of the earth, a repeating theme throughout the film. Likewise the distortion of a fisheye lens will add an interesting abstractness to the images making an entirely unique and compelling work of art.
PREVIOUS TIMELAPSE: With the success of my timelapse art film, Mossgrove/Bed of Moss, this new film will continue to expand the creative parameters of timelapse storytelling through dramatic photography, deliberate pacing, style and mood.
STORY: It begins at noon looking straight up at the sun and sky. Trees stretch from the outside of the circle toward the center where they part, displaying the entire sky. Voices chant "where will I rest" as the sun continues to set and clouds flow by. At the 4:50 mark, the sun sets behind the horizon. Then the music shifts to a tranquil/cosmic section. Here the camera will display the entire rotating night sky and Milky Way galaxy, silhouetted by lunging trees. At 12:50 in the film, the music begins to shift again into an ominous chant as the sun starts to rise. The camera follows the sun up above at noon under the trees at the same place where the film began (representing the looping/spherical pattern of life).
FUNDING: To help pay for and recoup the costs for making the film. Those include rental costs of the camera, lens, battery and data storage for shooting 24 hours straight in a remote location. For $2,000 I will able to produce, film, edit, and complete this unique HD film that will be shown throughout the world.
FESTIVALS: I have had my films shown in over 30 international film festivals and plan to use those connections to screen this film in many festivals around the world.
PLANETARIUMS: I am already in discussion with screening this in many planetariums and welcome the opportunity to inspire and educate audiences with this unique glimpse of a day passing.
ONLINE: I will offer a full HD version of the film available free online with vimeo.

Every Rock Has A Story - Amethyst
This magnificent mass of amethyst quartz crystals formed from hydrothermal solution in a gas cavity in volcanic rocks, near Minas Gerais in Brazil. This type of crystal filled cavity is called a geode. As a side note, the ancient Romans mistakenly believed that amethyst gave one protection against drunkenness.

New Belgium "Abbey"
Abbey Dubbel (ABV 7%)
[Best served in a Trappist glass]
Rating: 3.7/5.0
Aroma: 8/10
Appearance: 4/5
Taste: 7/10
Palate: 4/5
Overall: 14/20
The pour was a medium brown with a reddish hue and a large (2-3 finger) off white rocky head that was mostly lasting and had excellent lacing that left behind some nice residue which was left sticking to the glass.
The aroma was of a mild caramel malt, a light resin hop and a sweet yeast with notes of banana, maple syrup and some dark fruit with a mild alcohol tinge.
It tasted malty sweet with a hint of caramel and a touch of syrup in the beginning and finished about the same but with notes of banana, some fruitiness and a mild alcohol warming at the end. The flavor was left lingering on the taste buds for a nice long while along with the mild taste of alcohol.
Mouthfeel was light to medium in body, creamy and a little syrupy in texture with a nice mild carbonation.
Overall a very pleasant tasting Dubbel, not to sweet with a mild alcohol finish. A good representation of the style and a very well balanced brew.

The No. 2 Boston College men's hockey team will host No. 7 Vermont Catamounts in a best-of-three game quarterfinal round series Friday, March 15 - Sunday, March 17 at Kelley Rink. Friday's game is on TV on the NBC Sports Network.
It's Billett time.
The Wildcats earned a split of the weekend series, with the help of undisciplined play by BC and crazy officiating.

The Eagles overcame a 3-0 second period deficit to defeat the Warriors and improve to 9-1 on the season.
According to a report in the Bowling Green, Ohio Sentinel-Tribune, Robert Morris will host Boston College, Bowling Green and Penn State in the second annual Pittsburgh College Hockey Invitational.
There will definitely be an adjustment period, especially for some of the younger guys, but I feel like once our team gets together we'll be a tough team to beat. Our goal, as always, is to win another National Championship and I feel like we have a good opportunity to accomplish that feat if we are able to play up to our potential. Our coaches have been down this road before and more often than not once trophy season comes around they'll have us playing some exciting hockey.
Q&A With Isaac MacLeod (BCEagles.com)We're not going to look at this season like we are defending a National Championship. Other teams may look at it that way - that they have to knock down the reigning champs. We're going to look at it like we have to attack teams just as much as they're going to attack us. We're not sitting back and defending anything. We want to go out and win another National Championship.

I said other.....it will be Rush Limbaugh's fault and right wing radio.
It will be the fault of the vast, rightwing conspiracy that can do anything except prevent Obama's election. As the conspirator who figured out how to get Bill Clinton's penis into an intern without either of them knowing it, this was a no-brainer for me. :D
The big question isn't who they blame but in what form it takes when it flames out. When they realize their OWS isnt going to change anything they will want to lash out with violent actions and then all hell will break loose.
That, and how the media will report it. The press, Obama and the Democrats have put themselves behind the OWS crowd. When it becomes obvious to the average person that they are violent, destructive loons, the media will have to find a way to spin it away from themselves, especially going into the election cycle. The OWS crowd could have the same effect on the Democrats as the Chicago rioters did on them in 1968.
It's a bit late for Bush, Cheney, and Rove. I am sure they will blame the evil right-wing MSM (), but not them alone, probably also the horrible vile 1%, the Koch brothers, and whoever the 2012 GOP candidate is.
Yeah, a little too far removed for GW.
I'll have to say the MSM.
The Stoopid Amurkcan Sheeple, who don't know the risks they they took (OWS) on their behalf....

The Human-Whisperers
There are going to be surprises along the way, and the first year is going to be an emotionally-turbulent period.
I've been through some real highs and lows surrounding the publication of my first series, The Saddler's Legacy. This is normal--I don't think I know a single writer who would tell you that her experience as a debut author was predictable and boring.
Today, I realized how important horses have been to my writing journey over the last year.
I don't own horses, but my daughter is an equestrian vaulter, which means she does gymnastics on horseback. She belongs to a team, and so twice a week we go to the stables and I lunge the horses while she and her team mates vault. My lunging (driving the horses in a circle around me at the end of a long line) allows the coach to watch the vaulters' form and spot them in case of any slips. Lunging the horses requires my full concentration. The horse must not "break" from one gait to another unless I tell it to do so. If a vaulter is standing on a horse's back, the vaulter balances according to the horse's gait. A horse that drops from a trot to a walk can throw off the vaulter. Literally.
When I go to the stables with my daughter, I get out in the open air, away from my computer, away from deadlines, away from the worries and pressures of the introverted writer's life. I concentrate on simple but important tasks: picking out a horse's feet, putting on tack, warming up the horse on the lunge line. I don't have time to think about me. I'm too busy watching the horses, assessing their moods, making sure they're feeling OK before the children get on. When I feed a horse his carrot after a job well done, I'm not distracted by anything. I'm watching the pure pleasure on the horse's face and feeling the joy of caring for that horse.
I'm not sure why someone ever called a book "The Horse Whisperer." Those of us who spend time with horses know that the most important whispering isn't done by the humans.
It's done by the human-whisperers, with their big eyes, fuzzy muzzles, and long manes.
My life over the past year would have been poorer and less balanced without my human-whisperers.
Have any animals helped you through the stresses of life? I want to know their names!

This makes me want to hang out with some horses. They truly are amazing creatures. The animal that whispers to me is my black lab, Bubba. He's such a part of our family.

- Heather Sunseri said...
Wow, an equestrian vaulter? That's amazing! I love to watch equestrian athletes - mainly I get to watch thoroughbreds racing, but they're amazing to watch. I especially love to watch from the back stretch of the track as horses work out early in the mornings. Haven't done that in a while. I'm thinking I should...
As far as animals that whisper to me... Haley and Jenny, two lovely Golden Retrievers that sit at my feet as I write. - July 18, 2011 at 4:59 AM
- Wendy Paine Miller said...
Okay, how cool that your daughter is pursuing this passion!
KORAH! We just got back from over a week away. We couldn't bring her and I was in major dog withdrawal. I love her so much! Good to be home with her. She is such a dear companion!
I so get the outdoors & the horses...clearing away the cobwebs.

Ace dog (he's gone now) He helped me through a difficult period in my life.
Great post. - July 18, 2011 at 8:34 AM
- Sandra Heska King said...
I married my husband because he had horses, and I thought we'd have them forever. I loved my Wendy.
We've had dogs and we have cats (now just two--Kobe and Geisha), but (don't laugh) I miss our chickens--the hens clucking, the rooster crowing, going out to gather fresh eggs.
And then there were the 4H rabbits and the goats, and I feel a blog post coming on . . . - July 18, 2011 at 1:34 PM
- Carol J. Garvin said...
I took riding lessons as a teenager but have ridden very seldom since then. My life has been filled with dogs instead... singletons growing up and multiples as an adult because I began breeding, training and exhibiting Shetland Sheepdogs in 1973 and went on to own my own dog show business. Now I can't imagine my days without a Sheltie or Lab! There's a certain therapy to life with animals. They always know just how we're feeling.
"Sonnet" was the call name of our last Sheltie; "Tynan" is our current black Lab. - July 18, 2011 at 3:14 PM
- Rosslyn Elliott said...
Suze, I love German shepherds.
Katie - I bet your son adores that dog. It's great to have kids and dogs together--they're a perfect match in energy.
Heather, it must be impressive to watch the horses train. In person, I've only seen quarter horses race--thoroughbreds are so much faster!
Wendy, I share the dog withdrawal anytime we go away from home. Fortunately, our older dog Snow handles it better now that she has Frosty to keep her company.
Loree - Our pets can really be there for us in hard times. When I lost my cat of 12 years, one of the hardest parts was feeling that a whole period of my life had come to an end. I'm glad Ace was a good friend to you.
Sandra - I can understand why you would miss having chickens. And I need to come check out that blog post!
Carol - How cool that you are so involved with dogs! Shelties are beautiful...I wanted one when I was a child. - July 19, 2011 at 8:45 AM
- Kathi Oram Peterson said...
You are right on! That first year is full of ups and downs.
Horses are amazing creatures. I have great respect for the critters.
What whispers to me? How about a river. ;) (I couldn't help it. My new release is titled River Whispers.)
Kathi - July 20, 2011 at 4:26 PM
- Amy Deardon said...
Rosslyn, just wanted to say CONGRATULATIONS on your book! I'm so excited for you :-) Amy
- July 20, 2011 at 4:37 PM
- Denise J. Hughes said...
Awesome post. Your words are a great reminder that we need to get outdoors and "out-of-self" regularly. It's so easy to become consumed with writing and introspection.
Thanks. - July 22, 2011 at 9:08 AM

RISE cover reveal

Hello! I just read your series (only the first two books because here in Spain there are only those). I was hooked to your saga from the first word of the first book. I fell in love with Ren, and Shade. I always preferred to Ren, always. It hurt every time he suffered, I suffered. You want to reach the third book in this series, because I can not stand without reading Ren. I hope that the end does not suffer. Will he stay alone? I hope not. And on the other books, I can not wait to read! But until they come to Spain ... As I'm glad English right now, lol.

Ball State at 6-0, meanwhile, is the other MAC school with an unblemished league record. The Cardinals have won nine straight games overall, which is tied for the second-longest current win streak in the country with Delaware, Purdue, Florida International and Fairfield. Notre Dame has the longest win streak at 18 straight games. BSU continues its three-game road trip this week with games Wednesday at Akron and Saturday at Eastern Michigan.
UPCOMING COACHES TELECONFERENCE: The Mid-American Conference will be hosting two womens basketball conference calls, one to highlight MAC Women In Sport Week, which begins on MAC campuses February 3 and nationally February 6 with National Girls and Women In Sports Day, and the other leading up to the 2001 Kraft MAC Womens Basketball Tournament.
The first date for the conference call will be on Thursday, January 25 and will start at 10 a.m. (ET). The second conference call will be on Thursday, March 1 and will also begin at 10 a.m. (ET) and will serve as a preview to the 20th MAC Womens Basketball Championship. Media members may listen to the teleconference by calling (913) 981-5545.
HOME STREAK KEEPS GOING FOR KSU: Kent State extended its school- and MAC-record for consecutive home wins with a 71-69 victory over Miami on Wednesday. The Golden Flashes 38-game home winning streak is the nations second-longest current streak, trailing Texas Techs 39-game home winning streak.
Along with the current 38-game home winning streak, the Golden Flashes have also won 47 consecutive home contests versus MAC schools. Kent State will attempt to extend the nations second-longest streak on Monday when it hosts Bowling Green.
YOUTH PREVAILS FOR HUSKIES: Northern Illinois has one of the youngest teams in the MAC and it shows in the statistics. The Huskies leaders in scoring, rebounding, steals and assists are all either freshmen or sophomores, and are one of seven teams in Division I that can make that distinction -- NIU, Fresno State, Charleston Southern, Dayton, Minnesota, New Mexico State and Sacred Heart. Sophomore Kristan Knake leads NIU in scoring (11.5) and assists (2.9), while freshman Jennifer Youngblood tops the chart in rebounds (7.1) and fellow rookie Lindsay Secrest is first in steals (2.4). NIU Associate SID Robert Hester conducted the survey, with help from the MAC office.
MAC TV PACKAGE KICKS OFF NEXT WEEK: The MACs 11-game womens basketball package kicks off Saturday, Feb. 3 with three games televised on Fox Sports Net. Bowling Green hosts Kent State on Fox Sports Net Ohio, while the Buffalo-Marshall game will be on Fox Sports Net Pittsburgh and Empire Sports. Also, the Eastern Michigan-Northern Illinois game is slated to be on Fox Sports Net Chicago.
HURRLE TIES MAC TREY RECORD: Just two days after Western Michigan freshman teammate Emily Samuelson set the program record for 3-point percentage in a game with an .857 mark at Eastern Michigan, senior Sarah Hurrle set a new standard and also tied a league record. Hurrle canned 6-of-6 three-point attempts against Akron Saturday, finishing with a game-high 22 points. Hurrle is making a strong run at the record for treys in a single season. She is on pace for 70 through the Broncos first 15 games. Kelly DeLong holds the top mark with 77 treys during the 1998-99 season.
SIMPSON NABS 300TH WIN OF CAREER: Marshall head coach Juliene Simpson picked up the 300th for her career last Tuesday with a 80-75 win in overtime over the Chippewas. Simpson has a career record of 300-323 in 23 years of coaching, which includes stops at Amarillo Junior College, Cincinnati, Arizona State, Whitworth, Bucknell and Marshall.
SHOOTING THE LIGHTS OUT: Ohios Ronita Whitfield tallied a career-high 30 points against Ball State in a mini-homecoming sorts for the Indianapolis, Ind, native hitting 14 of 22 field-goal attempts. Both totals are highs by any Bobcat this season. For the week, Whitfield averaged 19 points and six rebounds in two contests for the Bobcats, in addition to connecting on 59 percent of her shots from the field.
CHARLES IS TROUBLE FOR OPPONENTS: Eastern Michigan forward/center Shani Charles has returned from a knee injury that sidelined her the entire 1999-2000 season and is again a major factor for the Eagles. She has been in the starting lineup in each of the Eagles 16 contests, averaging team-highs of 12.3 points and 7.3 rebounds a game. In conference play only, Charles leads the MAC in rebounding at 10.3 rebounds per game and is averaging 12.8 points in those five contests.
BOWLES NEARS SCHOOL SCORING MARK: Entering Wednesdays game with Ball State, Akron senior Cheryl Bowles is nine points shy of becoming the schools all-time leading scorer. Bowles has 1,536 points in 102 career games with the Zips, which also ranks 22nd all-time in league history. The center is also 64 points short of becoming only the 19th player in MAC history to register 1,600 career points.
CARDS DOMINATE IN LAST NINE GAMES: During Ball States current nine-game winning streak, the Cardinals are defeating opponents by an average of 23.9 points. BSU is averaging 86.4 points per game, while limiting its opponents to just 62.6 points per contest. In addition, paced by Tamara Bowies 18.0 points per game, four Cardinals are averaging 11-or-more points through the last nine games.
BIG START FOR FALCONS: The Falcons are 4-0 in MAC play for the first time in three years. The last team to win the first four conference games was the 1997-98 squad, and that team burst out to a 5-0 league start en route to a final MAC mark of 15-3. This years team is averaging 9.75 three-point field goals and shooting .450 (109-of-242) overall, .448 (39-of-87) from long range and .794 (54-of-68) from the free-throw line over the first four MAC contests.
BELL READY TO MOVE UP LADDER: With a game-high 17 points against Eastern Michigan on Saturday, Buffalo senior Tiffany Bell moved closer to the second spot all-time on UBs career scoring chart. Bell has 1,381 career points, just two away from tying Lynette Bubel for second place, and she is just 322 points away from the top spot (Brenna Doty, 1,703 career points). Bells game-high 17 points against EMU followed a six-point performance against Ohio which ended her 27-game double figure scoring streak.
A LOOK AT THE RPI: In this latest installment of the College Basketball News Womens RPI Report and the WBCA Summerville RPI rankings (through games of Jan. 21), the Mid-American Conference was ranked No. 17 and No. 15, respectively among 31 conferences in both listings. The MAC has five schools in the top-150 -- four in the WBCA -- and nine in the top-200.
School -- CBN/WBCA Toledo -- 91/93 Ball State -- 119/124 Kent State -- 122/123 Eastern Michigan -- 124/127 Buffalo -- 149/152 Northern Illinois -- 159/162 Bowling Green -- 167/171 Western Michigan -- 169/166 Miami -- 193/195
SCORING ATTACK IGNITES BOBCATS: Ohio shot a season-high 64.8 percent from the field Saturday, hitting 35 of 54 attempts in a 99-78 win at Central Michigan. The league leaders in field-goal percentage most of the year, the Bobcats have hit 53.0 percent over the last four games, including a pair of season highs.
Ohio scored a season-high 99 points against the Chippewas with five players topping double figures. Cathy Szall tallied 20 of her team-high 23 points in the first half, while Beckie Fischer (19) and Latreece Bagley (12) added career highs.
3-POINT STREAKS AROUND THE MAC: Toledo has currently made at least one three-point field goal in each of its last 155 contests, dating back to Jan. 24, 1996. While the Rockets current streak trails Western Michigans 167 consecutive games, Toledo has hit a three-pointer in 358 of its last 359 games. Below is a look at each of the teams present streak of consecutive games with a made three-point field goal.
Consecutive Games With A 3-Point Field Goal Made (Start of streak): Western Michigan -- 167 (1/18/95) Toledo -- 155 (1/24/96) Eastern Michigan -- 118 (12/22/96) Central Michigan -- 96 (11/29/97) Bowling Green -- 71 (3/13/98) Miami -- 70 (11/14/98) Marshall -- 34 (12/29/99) Kent State -- 33 (1/15/00) Ball State -- 26 (2/25/00) Buffalo -- 19 (2/25/00) Akron -- 9 (12/8/00) Ohio -- 6 (1/3/01) Northern Illinois -- 3 (1/13/01)
THE NON-CONFERENCE LOOK: The Mid-American Conference finished the regular season with a 67-76 record in non-conference action (.468), including a 2-9 slate versus nationally-ranked opponents. The MAC completed the 1999-00 season with a 62-77 non-conference record, which translated into a .446 winning percentage. That mark also included a 1-9 record against nationally-ranked opponents. In 1998-99, the MACs record in non-conference play was 59-66 (.472).
CUSICK NETS BIG NUMBERS FOR MIAMI: Last year as a freshman, Miamis Heather Cusick paced the team in scoring (11.9) and assists per game (4.8) and earned a spot on the leagues all-freshman team. This year, Cusicks numbers have grown to 13.4 points and 5.2 assists per contest, with both numbers ranking in the top 15 in the league. In addition, the sophomore is also averaging 1.9 steals per contest -- 12th in the MAC -- and has recorded at least one steal in 25 straight games.
A BLESSING IN DISGUISE FOR TOLEDO: Toledo freshman Mary Blessing was inserted into the starting lineup for the Rockets against Northern Illinois, and in 30 minutes of action had four assists, four points, four steals and a pair of rebounds. Against Kent State, Blessing was again in the starting five and dished out nine assists in 33 minutes in addition to scoring five points. In 63 total minutes, Blessing had 13 assists and committed only two turnovers.
PETRIE IS DISHING IT OUT FOR CMU: In both of Central Michigans games last week freshman Tara Petrie passed out seven assists for the Chippewas against Marshall and Ohio. Prior to last weeks contests, Petrie had 22 assists in 12 games. In the overtime loss to the Thundering Herd, Petrie also contributed a career-best 16 points including four three-pointers.
COMPARING NUMBERS TO A YEAR AGO: On MAC school has already surpassed last years win total with more than half of the league schedule remaining, while another has equaled its mark. After winning six games total a year ago, Northern Illinois picked up its seventh win on Saturday, a 63-50 triumph over Miami. Marshall, meanwhile, has notched eight wins to date, the same number it won last season.

The first diary appeared on Jan. 15.
FARMER DELIVERS FOR THE FALCONS: Bowling Green senior Angie Farmer helped the Falcons to the teams first win over Toledo in nearly three years with 15 points off the bench on last Saturday. Farmer was the only member of the team -- player or coach -- who was on the Falcons squad the last time BGSU defeated its arch rival on Jan. 31, 1998, a 67-63 Falcon victory. Since returning from injury, Farmer has recorded 61 points in only 76 minutes and has hit her last 21 free throw attempts.
UBS RICHTOVA FILLING IN FOR ORTEGA: In the absence of Buffalo senior Sonia Ortega who was serving a one-game suspension, junior Jana Richtrova earned her first career start against Eastern Michigan on Saturday. Richtrova opened the scoring with a 10-foot jumper and finished with five points, a team and career-high five rebounds, one assist and two steals. For the season, Richtrova is averaging 2.6 points and 1.4 rebounds per game.

In six conference contests, the Golden Flashes have hit 91-of-119 (76.5 percent) which also ranks third. In the last two games, Kent State is 43-of-50 (86 percent) from the free-throw line.

Recipe by SUSMITA
"This is my closest approximation to one of my favorite dishes when I eat out. I hope you will like it."
Watch video tips and tricks
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 pounds paneer, cut into cubes
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 onions, roughly chopped
2 green bell peppers, cut into strips
1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger root
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 teaspoon garam masala
1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
1/2 teaspoon ground fennel seed
2 tomatoes, pureed
1 tablespoon ketchup
salt to taste
1/2 cup water
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
Great recipe, but had to substitute the paneer because I couldn't find it at the grocery store. Thanks for the recipe!
I found this very bland. I will not be making it again. I still gave it 3 stars because it may have been tastier if we used panner instead of tofu.
9 Ratings
I love this recipe! I added some extra fresh ginger to make it just right. I think I need to try a different pan because when I try to brown the paneer it mostly sticks to the pan. This recipe has become a favourite in our house.
Followed recipe exactly, and it was delicious. Thanks!
Wonderful flavor, but I think I may have overcooked the cheese. Better if just seared on all sides and not quite browned so it can still melt a bit... oops! I accidentally added whole fennel seed, so I compensated by adding an extra 1/2 tsp. of ground coriander in addition. I think I may also add more tomatoes, or a small can of whole tomatoes, cut up, if I make again. Delicious!
This was very delicious, just amazing. I followed the recipe exactly, highly recommended.
I used homemade paneer, which was delicious. The sauce itself was fine, though s bit sweet for my tastes. I liked the hint of fennel but would probably add some cayenne or Serrano if I make this again. Since my kids (2 and 4) weren't especially keen on it, I probably won't.
Delicious! Even my husband said the paneer grew on him after a few bites, since the rest of it was so good. I will admit to eliminating the ketchup, as I can't stand the stuff.

On the Road to Economic Recovery and Productivity, with Lingering Concerns over Inequality
With the federal budget deficit rapidly shrinking and the United States seemingly on the road to sustained economic growth, Jason Furman,...
Speaker: Jason Furman, Chairman, Council of Economic Advisers
Presider: Thomas R. Keene, Editor-at-Large, Bloomberg News
December 17, 2013
With the federal budget deficit rapidly shrinking and the United States seemingly on the road to sustained economic growth, Jason Furman, chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers, discusses the economic policy priorities of the Obama administration and what lies ahead for the U.S. economy. Despite the fact that the post-financial crisis recovery has been rapid by historical standards, growing inequality and stagnant productivity growth remain as areas where there is more work to be done.
Furman on the long-term trend in the U.S. economy towards greater inequality:
"And you look at the combination of the two of these, which is the growth rate overall slowing and then less of that growth going to the middle class and to households at the bottom, and the combination of those two trends are about equally responsible for the slower growth we've seen in the typical household's income over the last several decades."
Furman on GDP growth and the importance of increasing worker productivity:
"I think some of those comparisons with the past [GDP growth rate] are just demography. So when you had your working-age population growing more quickly, your overall growth rate's going to be more—it's going to be faster, and our demography now, we have baby boomers retiring. That's reducing our workforce growth and reducing our growth rate. The part that I'm most worried about is what I was talking about, which is the productivity growth, how much you're getting for given work or how much you're getting potentially for given amounts of capital. And I think we can do a lot better."
Furman on the post-financial crisis recovery in the United States and the recent narrowing of the federal budget deficit:
"Our deficit, as I said, came down from—by nearly 6 percent of GDP in four years. That's the fastest deficit reduction we've seen since the end of World War II. Our deficit is coming down really quickly in the short run, and it's not just the short run. If you look at the long-run outlook, we have a lot of demographic challenges, we have a lot of challenges in terms of health care, but what people don't appreciate is, we've actually done a lot to deal with those. Whether it's spending, whether it's reducing Medicare in the Affordable Care Act, higher tax rates on high-income households in the tax deal at the beginning of this year, add all of that up, and our long-run deficit, the fiscal gap, is only 1.7 percent of GDP now, which is a lot better than we've estimated it to be for the last ten or fifteen years."
This meeting was part of the C. Peter McColough series on International Economics.

Phil's Day 2013 celebrates the many ways philanthropy and private gifts support the university and its programs. Every year, hundreds of students are able to study or conduct research abroad thanks to generous donors. In honor of Phil, check out some of their unique experiences.
Articles tagged with "funding"
Thomas Langer, a senior at the University of Iowa studying International Studies and Human Rights (CLAS), traveled to India last summer to conduct research for his Honors Thesis. While there, he met an unexpected visitor whose personal story of struggle and success moved Thomas beyond words and affirmed his academic ambitions.
You are invited to attend a Fulbright U.S. Student Program workshop given by UI Student Fulbright Advisor Karen Wachsmuth of International Programs on Monday, May 6, from 3:30-4:30 p.m. in International Commons, 1117 UCC.
Faculty members in the Department of Asian and Slavic Languages at the University of Iowa have received a $90,000 grant from STARTALK, a unit of the federal National Security Language Initiative, for their program "Bridging the Gap through Standards and Technology: STARTALK for Teachers." The program provides unique professional training for teachers of Russian as a foreign language in the United States.
This is the second grant received by this team—Irina Kostina, UI lecturer; Anna Kolesnikova, UI visiting professor; and Marina Kostina, CEO of Wired @ Heart—from STARTALK for the development of their teacher-preparation program.
UI undergraduate, graduate, and professional students who have secured summer internships with human rights organizations in the United States or internationally should consider applying for the Kenneth J. Cmiel Funded Human Rights Internship Program.
Honoring the late Kenneth J. Cmiel, an internationally-renowned scholar of the history of human rights, these awards provide funding to selected students who will be working with a local, national, or international non-governmental organization or governmental agency engaged in human rights related advocacy, research, or education. Program funds cover travel and living expenses associated with the internship.
If University of Iowa students ever feel like they don't have a voice, here's proof that they do.
After much clamoring by students, faculty, staff and community members against the impending closure of UI's Center for Human Rights, university officials announced Wednesday a new permanent home for the center in the College of Law beginning July 1.
While locals celebrated Human Rights Day in Iowa City, several took the opportunity to further discuss the future of the University of Iowa Center for Human Rights.
Members from various local advocacy organizations convened Monday to discuss the importance of universally defined human rights, on the 64th anniversary of the U.N. General Assembly's ratification of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
You would think by having a waterproof, shockproof camera that your pictures would be safe. Well, not from a little girl who doesn't read English. With the pressing of just a few buttons she managed to delete the 1,000 pictures documenting a month of my time in Nicaragua. Luckily, I found a program to retrieve photos that have been deleted from a memory card and I am thankful that, in my whole summer of traveling, that incident was the closest thing that could be considered a disaster.
The University of Iowa Students for Human Rights will gather on the Pentacrest Wednesday to protest the closing of the UI Center for Human Rights. The demonstration sparked a disagreement between supporters of the center and the Provost's Office regarding publicity for the event.
Some of the center's supporters contend UI administrators are suppressing students' intellectual freedoms by intentionally finding ways to thwart publicity for the protest. However, International Programs Dean Downing Thomas maintained officials are following their usual procedures.
University of Iowa President Sally Mason, in her recent interview with the DI editors, discussed the future or, more precisely, the elimination of the UI Center for Human Rights as we have known it.
She spoke of the university's budget difficulties and suggested that closing the center would "save some money." She also argued that the provost's plan to parcel out a couple of the center's programs to other academic units was "perfectly appropriate" and would enable the work of the center to continue "in a different capacity."
The University of Iowa's international student population accounts for roughly one-third of the state's monetary contributions by foreign students.
