Greetings Alumni and Friends: Over the past couple years in the college of engineering we have made the success of our students a high priority. We made some significant changes such as hiring a Director of Student Services, turning over the awarding of student society support funds to our student leadership, and establishing Engineering Scholars for our highest achieving students. Last month marked another milestone towards our pursuit of student success—the dedication of the John C. Wahl Think Tank. Adopting a "client service" model, The John C. Wahl Think Tank is becoming a one-stop-shop for student success that will help students navigate the services of the university, support internships, recruitment and retention services, support student societies, and more. Greg Wahl, from the Frances and John Wahl Foundation, was on campus to participate in the dedication. We had a packed house during the presentation and Ron Olson, chair of the Think Tank campaign recognized the many people who have contributed to the project so far. With the facility scheduled to be completed in a couple weeks, the focus of this campaign turns to the services to the students. I'd like to announce the recognition of two of our outstanding faculty in electrical engineering. Fred Barlow received the John A. Wagnon, Jr. Technical Achievement Award during IMAPS 2011 (International Microelectronics And Packaging Society) in Long Beach, California, October 9 - 13. During the same conference Aicha Elshabini received the President's Award for 2011. Finally, our IMAPS student chapter earned a first place award in the technical competition. I hope you are enjoying the fall weather and looking forward to the coming holiday season. As always, I welcome your comments. Thank you. Sincerely, Larry Stauffer
A leadership gift in the will of Randall "Randy" Litton, B.S. 1961 in electrical engineering, will help support one of the greatest needs of the College of Engineering, the Endowed Chair for Electrical and Computer Engineering. Randy's generosity will create tremendous opportunities for students and faculty and allow the college to continue our legacy of developing outstanding leaders. Sean Litton echoes, "My Dad loved the University of Idaho." Born in Idaho Falls in 1939, Randy earned a law degree in 1965 from George Washington University and was regarded as one of the top patent litigators in the country. He passed away in 2010 in Grand Rapids, Michigan leaving behind a beautiful family including children Stephanie, Sean and Emily, many grandchildren and a legacy of generosity and kindness.
Idaho's Society of Women Engineers (SWE) student chapter was instrumental in the successful Women in Engineering Day which took place on October 21. Forty-three high school students came to campus for an exciting day which included a team design project and a highly engaging presentation of why our students chose engineering and what it means to them.

British FBO operator Signature Aviation has proposed to build an executive airport and terminal that would accommodate "the largest business jets" almost exclusively for the use of Google at Mineta San Jose International Airport in California, and a city official says that the plan should be considered. According to a news release from Signature Aviation, Mineta San José International Airport (SJC) staff will recommend Signature Flight Support be awarded a 50-year lease on the Airport's West Side to develop and operate a 29-acre, $82 million facility, which the Los Angeles Times reports would be largely used by Google's fleet of executive jets, which range up to a Boeing 767.
With SJC airport staff's report to the Airport Competitiveness Committee on February 22, 2013, the evaluation of proposals for West Side development will be complete. The airport intends to return to the San José City Council in early spring to recommend that Council award a ground lease and operating permit to Signature Flight Support.
Signature proposes to construct a full service fixed base operation (FBO) committing to invest $82 million in developing facilities with over 270,000 square feet of Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Gold certified on approximately 29 acres with facility and service facilities consisting of 240,000 sq. ft. of hangar space, 24,000 sq. ft. office and shops, 10,000 sq. ft. executive terminal, 3,600 sq. ft. GSE shop, 7,500 sq. ft. Technology garden and 18.5 acres of ramp space. "We are pleased that the evaluation process for the development of Mineta San José International Airport's West Side is now complete, and the recommended outcome will prove to be incredibly prosperous for SJC, the City of San José, and Silicon Valley," said Director of Aviation Bill Sherry. "The Airport completed a $1.4 billion upgrade to the terminal area in 2010, and now our focus must be the proposed private development and $82 million investment of the West Side by Signature Flight Support, to support the private aviation needs of local high-tech companies, most notably the personal aircraft of the principals at Google." Proposals for development of Silicon Valley Airport's West Side were reviewed by an evaluation panel, including: staff of SJC and the City of San José; a representative with real estate expertise from a comparable-sized commercial service airport, with significant corporate and general aviation activity, in California; and a former FBO executive. Signature's proposal scored a total of 991 out of a possible 1,000 points, and the panel found the proposal to be both thorough and of very high quality, offering excellent opportunities for corporate aviation services to SJC's general aviation customers. Signature was found to be a financially stable company with strong financial indicators and will likely be a significant economic asset for the City of San José.
"Signature Flight Support is proud to be chosen as the successful bidder for the West Side development project at the Mineta San Jose International Airport to build a state of the art, world-class FBO that will serve as a key location in Signature Flight Support's global network. We are also proud to bring all of the resources that Signature Flight Support can offer to further business and general aviation and our long-standing track record of good corporate citizenship to the San Jose and Silicon Valley Communities," said Maria Sastre, President and Chief Operating Officer for Signature Flight Support. The adopted Airport Master Plan identifies the West Side of the Airport for development of facilities to accommodate a projected growth in general aviation service demand. Development areas include 44 acres located directly north of the FAA Airport Traffic Control Tower (holding 12 acres in reserve as potential mitigation area) and 15 acres in the southwest area, which is the current tie-down area for general aviation aircraft and the former San Jose State University Aviation facility. A Request for Proposals (RFP) process included a draft RFP released in June 2012 and a final RFP issued in August 2012, including an extensive effort to ensure all potential respondents had the opportunity to comment and submit proposals.

Yanqui Walker and the Optical Revolution | |
An American imperialist who became president of Nicaragua. |
Yanqui Walker and the Optical Revolution (Kathryn Ramey, United States/Nicaragua, 2009; 33 min.) This film explores a now-obscure American expansionist, William Walker, who through military force and coercion became president of Nicaragua in 1856. Walker was one of many expansionists who believed it was America's Manifest Destiny to conquer all of the Americas and who engaged in border raids in Canada, Mexico, the Caribbean and Central America. Filmmaker Kathryn Ramey blends found footage, documentary photography, ethnographic inquiry, and personal travelogue with experimental film techniques such as hand-processing, optical printing, and time-lapse to detour and derail the various approaches to historymaking that have been applied to this story.

Here is a safety first fight for Shane, Tim isn't a big puncher and should Mosley even remotely comes close to beating him then he gains stock again as a viable fighter and can still stay active and seek fights with named fighters. Another safety first fight would be for Shane to fight Khan since he wants to campaign as a WW but I believe that since Tim doesn't really have a scheduled fight on the horizon and he needs a name on his resume other than Pac then he'd gain both in fighting Shane.
I do know that on one hand that Arum doesn't necessarily want to deal with GB but he may think that this is a winnable fight for Tim that gives him another big name on his resume thus making Tim feel like he (Bob) is still working for him to get him big fights. Your thoughts?? |

If people didn't want to see Paulie M and Mosley mix it up what in heaven's name would people want to watch Bradley and Mosley fight? The guy is done and becoming annoying by the hour. Shane was a beast in his prime and he was good if not great in his prime but his time has come and gone. Unlike Juan Marquez who just knocked Pac into a sleep induced coma people still want to see him fight because he has gas left in the tank. Mosley has been on empty for sometime. Walk away Shane and save your good name. You will probably lose your lady to a rising baller but remember the good times. Get you a B plus chick they are just as fun.

Cautious, careful people always casting about to preserve their reputation or social standards never can bring about reform. Those who are really in earnest are willing to be anything or nothing in the world's estimation, and publicly and privately, in season and out, avow their sympathies with despised ideas and their advocates, and bear the consequences.

Susan B. Anthony (February 15, 1820 -March 13, 1906) was a leader of the women's suffrage movement in the United States. She was a school teacher who became involved with abolitionism and then temperance. After the American Civil War she became discouraged that those working for "Negro" suffrage were still against votes for women, and co-founded the American Equal Rights Association.

Friday Group Ride #89
We received the news this week that Geox, the Italian shoe company, elected at the very last moment to remove their financial backing of Mauro Gianetti's Geox-TMC pro team. Joe Lindsey did a good job of breaking it all down here. Long story short, Gianetti, the man behind the Saunier-Duval collapse, has been limping his team forward year after year, by signing short-term sponsorship deals.
Some combination of his past association with doped riders, the instability of the world economy, his team's inability to secure a ProTour license, his team's further inability to win a significant number of races, AND the UCI's convoluted and often unfair points system for determining team ranking, have all come together to put a long list of riders and team staff out of business at precisely the moment when most of their potential employers have finalized hiring for the season.
The losers here are Gianetti, any rider he has under contract, any staff, Geox, who look like bumbling idiots, the UCI who yet again fail to create an even playing field and/or a sound financial proposition for sponsors interested in the sport, and the fans. More or less anyone standing near the blast zone got some on them.
The question is, what needs to be done to keep Geox (or Pegasus, or HTC) from happening again?
My own proposal would be to assign a transmittable value to a ProTour license, and to a ProContinental license for that matter. Then issue a finite number of licenses, and when a team wants to enter the sport, it's incumbent upon them to acquire the necessary license from one of the owners. This is a de facto franchise system which gives the license a life quite independent of the UCI and their wacky rules. It would guarantee entry to the biggest events, and stabilize the year-to-year roster jumping that occurs with riders anxious to get off one sinking raft in favor of another. It also gives sponsors a tangible asset to attach themselves to, and the teams a coherent and consistent face to present to fans.
One might argue that wealthy individuals and/or entities could buy and hold hostage one of a few precious licenses, but with guaranteed entry to big events, the value of the license would be too great to simply sit on.
This is, of course, a radical idea, and it would require the UCI to become something it has never been in its entire history, which is to say progressive in its thinking.
But maybe there is a better way. What do you think?

► Homolog pairing precedes SPO11-mediated programmed DSBs during meiosis in the mouse ► A DSB-independent activity of SPO11 is required for this preleptotene pairing ► SUN1 anchors telomeres to the nuclear periphery to facilitate the pre-DSB pairing ► Pre-DSB subtelomeric pairing is more stable and most likely aids synapsis initiation
How homologous chromosomes (homologs) find their partner, pair, and recombine during meiosis constitutes the central phenomenon in eukaryotic genetics. It is widely believed that, in most organisms, SPO11-mediated DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) introduced during prophase I precede and are required for efficient homolog pairing. We now show that, in the mouse, a significant level of homolog pairing precedes programmed DNA cleavage. Strikingly, this early chromosome pairing still requires SPO11 but is not dependent on its ability to make DSBs or homologous recombination proteins. Intriguingly, SUN1, a protein required for telomere attachment to the nuclear envelope and for post-DSB synapsis, is also required for early pre-DSB homolog pairing. Furthermore, pre-DSB pairing at telomeres persists upon entry into prophase I and is most likely important for initiation of synapsis. Our findings suggest that the DSB-triggered homology search may mainly serve to proofread and stabilize the pre-DSB pairing of homologous chromosomes.

* Katy Perry is going to headline Obama's "30 Days To Victory" concert. Hey, the Republicans are able to get current pop stars, too. The Romney campaign is this close to landing an Everly Brother.
* In Rhode Island, the owner of a foul-mouthed cockatoo was fined $15 for violating the city noise ordinance. I think the phrase "foul-mouthed cockatoo" says all you need to know about society's morals in 2012.
* A contestant on "The X Factor" allegedly made off with a $30,000 mic stand. This sounds like the first episode of "X Factor" I'm sorry I missed.
* In Massachusetts, someone stole 39 pink flamingos from the front yard of a home. This was either the work of a callous pack of cold-blooded thieves or a neighborhood beautification project.
* I have my Halloween costume ready. I'm going to put a paper bag over my head and go as a New Orleans Saints fan.
* Before playing Alabama, Florida Atlantic defensive Cory Henry said that the Crimson Tide can be beat. Smart kid. You'll note he didn't say they could be beat by Florida Atlantic.
* At the Ryder Cup, Tiger Woods knocked out a fan with an errant shot. This is when you know Woods has been hanging out with Charles Barkley too much.

At Mack & Associates we are thankful to all of our temps and we love to show our appreciation. One of the ways we do that is through our withHonors Program. By partnering with American Express we are able to offer monetary reward to those temporary employees who do outstanding work in the field.
How does this work?
Well, for every temporary assignment an employee is given a performance review. For every good review they earn a point and for every 25 points they earn a $25 American Express Encompass Card! Every week they can have the opportunity to earn more points and that card is automatically updated. Just one of the many ways we love to show our employees that we value all the hard work they do for us!
Just read through as some of our employees rave about this fantastic program:
"The withHonors program at Mack & Associates is just one way, in the many ways, they show how much they care about their temporary staffers. It is a great bonus program tht can really add up to some extra cash in your pocket. I don't know of any other temporary staffing agency that offers this kind of a program."
- Robert Webber
"As a withHonors participant, I feel this is a great incentive that Mack and Associates offers to their temporary employees. It's easy to earn and nice to have a little extra money when you are on the go!"
- Rachel Humphrey

What is a community garden? Any group of people that comes together to garden is a community garden. Most often, the gardens are neighborhood open spaces managed by and for the members of the community. The gardens come in various shapes and sizes. Some are communal, and others have individual plots for each gardener. Gardens can be focused on vegetables, flowers, herbs or a combination of these things. There are as many types of community gardens as there are people.
Community gardens help create vibrant neighborhoods

MADRE Articles
Call to End the Repressive Policies of the State of Honduras
Posted on: Thursday, April 7, 2011
Keywords: Honduras, Latin America and Caribbean, Women Human Rights Defenders, US Foreign Policy
MADRE has signed on to this letter to the United Nations from feminist and human rights networks and organizations.
Ms. Navi Pillay
United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights
Ms. Margaret Sekaggya
United Nations Special Rapporteur on the Situation of Human Rights Defenders
Ms. Rashida Manjoo
United Nations Special Rapporteur on Violence against Women
People from all over the world, representing national, regional and international organizations and networks have signed this letter to express deep concern for repression and human rights violations suffered by the Honduran people. We denounce, in particular, the attacks on and persecution of human rights organizations and women human rights defenders (WHRD) who work tirelessly to condemn the repressive policies, high rates of violence and impunity that prevail in Honduras.
In the past few months, policies such as the "Municipal Education Law" (a step toward privatizing public education), and the suspension of 2010 salaries for more than 6000 teachers and professors, among other measures, have motivated large-scale mobilization and protest across the country and an ongoing teachers' strike. In a bid to contain the social unrest, the Porfirio Lobo regime declared the strike unlawful and legalized the salary suspensions and the mass firing of those teachers and professors who refused to drop their demands. In addition, the Lobo administration has deployed state security forces to stop, often with brutal violence, the peaceful protests organized by the teachers and diverse social movements:
- Protesters have been attacked using tear gas and physical violence, leaving many wounded and some with bullet injuries.
- On March 18th, as a direct result of the violence carried out by the repressive state agents in Tegucigalpa, teacher Ilse Ivania Velásquez Rodríguez was killed.
- On March 24th, the following teachers were detained without charge in Tegucigalpa, and later transferred to a women's prison in Támara: Ingrid Liseth Sierra, Nuria Evelyn Verduzco, Linda Melina Guillén Fonseca, María Auxiliadora Espinoza and Wendy Méndez. Among them was a professor with a 9 month-old baby from whom she was separated and denied access.
These are not isolated incidents. From the beginning of Mr. Lobo's term, peaceful protests and demonstrations have been suppressed while persecution against feminist and women's organizations has only increased. WHRD who sympathize with and support the national resistance movement are especially at risk. Recent examples include: the chain of threats suffered by Sra. Gladys Lanza and el Movimiento de Mujeres por la Paz "Visitación Padilla" (Women's Movement for Peace) since July 2010; the continuous intimidation of women communicators/women active in the media from la Voz de Zacate Grande; on March 28th, Mirian Miranda (president of the Organización Fraternal Negra de Honduras) suffered prolonged exposure to tear gas, underwent an arbitrary 12-hour detention and was denied medical treatment; and the assault of members of feminist organization, CESADEH, and the looting of their premises. WHRD also confront an entrenched culture of impunity and violence against women which has left 50+ cases of femicide in 2011 so far.
In 2010, there were five documented WHRD assassinations: two members of the Resistance Front (Claudia Brisuela and Teresa Flores), a member of the la Red de Mujeres Jóvenes de la Colonia "Cruz Roja" (Jessica Gálvez) and two activists from the LGBT movement (Gamaniel Parson and Neraldys).
Mesoamerican feminists and women's rights activists denounced these attacks before the United Nations Human Rights Council in March 2011 where the UN Special Rapporteur on Human Rights Defenders presented a report on the global situation of WHRD. At this event, Honduras pledged to provide security for its people and protect WHRD – a direct contradiction to the ongoing and systematic practice of intimidation, repression and indifference to the assassinations of women who are on the frontline of human rights work.
In light of this urgent situation we call on the United Nations to:
- Denounce the failure of the State of Honduras to comply with signed human rights treaties and agreements;
- Apply all measures possible to end the human rights violations of the Honduran people and the political persecution of the defenders of human rights in Honduras.
- Push the Honduran government for an impartial investigation to identify and prosecute those responsible for the attacks against WHRD in accordance with the human rights obligations of the country.

You can downgrade your iphone and unlock
or you can use 1.1.2. But take the risk to run the anySIM 1.2.1u
I thought the octal permission was 0755... Please check before you use the other. Also I accidentally updated my 1.1.1 to 1.1.2 before it could be unlocked for my scenario so I had to downgrade... Then only way that worked for me was erasing the newer baseband using ieraser but the secpac file that came with it was the older version so it kept failing. A google search provided me with a secpac file that matched my baseband version so it worked an I was able to flash it back. Don't ask me why that file was needed cause I don't know...
Written w/ my iPhone ;-)
sorry for 0735 this wrong writing
i edited thanx
ok now anySIM works but dont want to unlock i got the messeg anySIM could not unlock that Phone what now ???
i Try now the way eddy123 posted with reflashing

Endoscopic Ultrasonography(EUS)Pronounced: Endo-scopic Ul-tra-sew-naw-gra-fee
Deanna M. Neff, MPH DefinitionEndoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) is used to view the walls of your digestive tract and other nearby organs. An ultrasound uses sound waves to make images of the inside of the body. In an EUS, the ultrasound probe is passed down the throat or up the rectum and into digestive tract. Reasons for TestEUS may be used to:
Possible Complications TOPComplications are rare, but no test is completely free of risk. If you are planning to have EUS, your doctor will review a list of possible complications, which may include:
Factors that may increase the risk of complications include:
Be sure to discuss these risks with your doctor before the test. What to Expect TOPPrior to TestLeading up to the test, your doctor may instruct you to:
In most cases, it is okay to take aspirin and other blood-thinning medicines before the test. Ask your doctor if you take these medicines. Description of the TestYour doctor may spray your throat with a local anesthetic. This will numb your throat, so you will not feel discomfort. You may also be given a sedative. This will help you to relax and reduce anxiety. In most cases, you will lie on your left side. A thin, flexible tube, called an endoscope, will be inserted either through your throat or anus. The endoscope will have an ultrasound probe on the end of it. The ultrasound machine will create images of the digestive tract. When the imaging is done, your doctor will gently pull the endoscope out. In some cases, the doctor might use the ultrasound to help take a biopsy or drain a cyst. If this happens, the doctor will insert tools through the endoscope to the area in question.
After TestAfter the test, you will recover in a special area. Your throat may be a little sore. Slight bloating is normal from the air and water that entered the digestive tract. When you return home, do the following to help ensure a smooth recovery:
How Long Will It Take?15-45 minutes Will It Hurt?EUS is slightly uncomfortable. ResultsYour doctor may talk to you about the results right away. If you had a biopsy, it may take longer to receive results. Call Your Doctor TOPAfter the test, call your doctor if any of the following occurs:

Students are Chapman University's top priority and most precious resource. Preparing them for success in all their endeavors is at the core of Chapman's mission. The most powerful and meaningful way to support Chapman students is to give a gift supporting scholarships.
Whether it's a one-time donation, a commitment to an annual gift or endowing a scholarship that will support students for generations to come, your contribution will give bright young men and women the life-changing and invaluable gift of a Chapman education.
Each year Chapman invests more than $80 million in scholarships, grants and loans for academically promising and needy undergraduate students. In fact, more than 80% of Chapman students rely on scholarships and financial aid to fund their education.
By reducing the stressful and often prohibitive financial burden, scholarships open the door to a Chapman education for deserving young men and women from all walks of life, helping to create a vibrant student body that is rich in diversity.
Chapman University offers two main types of scholarship support to students:
- Merit Scholarships
Available to both incoming freshmen and transfer students, these scholarships, ranging from $10,000 to $25,000 per student per year, are awarded to students who have demonstrated outstanding academic performance, without regard to financial need. Merit scholarships are vital to the continued growth and reputation of Chapman as they enable the university to attract the highest caliber of students from around the world.
- Need-Based and Grants and Scholarships
Chapman Grants and other named institutional scholarships are offered to students who qualify based on financial need. A long list of need-based awards is available, ranging from a few hundred dollars to full-tuition grants.
For example:
-The Guardian Scholars program supports ambitious college-bound students exiting the foster-care system.
-The Thurgood Marshall Scholarship program supports first-generation and underrepresented students who have overcome adversity and have shown academic excellence, leadership and community service.
Student Opportunities and EnrichmentChapman University recognizes that much of a student's education takes place outside of the classroom. We work hard to create a highly engaging environment that promotes meaningful life experiences and opportunities for leadership. Chapman's commitment to global citizenship is demonstrated through the active role our students take in communities both locally and across the globe.
Your gift can create opportunities for academic and professional development and personal growth outside the classroom such as:
- Faculty-guided student travel, both domestic and international
- Extended research opportunities
- Student-led campus ventures and philanthropic initiatives
Or contact a member of the Annual Giving team at 714-628-2834 or firstname.lastname@example.com to learn more about how you can make a difference in the lives of Chapman students by supporting scholarships.

Love Your HeartThis heart is an example of a condition called collateral supply, which, Dr. Oz says, is very common in athletes. In this heart, an artery was blocked off and in order to successfully deliver blood over to another part of the heart, it created an entirely new blood vessel. "The heart's wonderful," Dr. Oz says.

New Tracks: Hawthorne Headhunters – "If You Were My Baby" & "Teleport" + MP3
July 8th, 2011
Coultrain and Black Spade are Hawthorne Headhunters. Been a minute since we've heard from either of them, so we're excited to hear that the duo will be releasing their full-length debut, Myriad of Now, in 2012. To get us ready, they've blessed us with a double single, including "If You Were My Baby" and "Teleport." Both are available for streaming below and "If You Were My Baby" is a free download as well. Personality is something that neither of these artists lack in the least. As such, the result is a funky fusion of soul music that vibrates on frequencies unchartered.

Corvette captain
This article needs additional citations for verification. (August 2011) |
Hierarchy of naval officer ranks |
Flag officers: |
Admiral of the navy Admiral of the fleet • Fleet admiral |
Senior officers: |
Commodore • Fleet captain |
Junior officers: |
Lieutenant commander • Captain lieutenant |
Training officers: |
Corvette captain is a rank in many navies which theoretically corresponds to command of a corvette (small warship). The equivalent rank in the United Kingdom, Commonwealth and USA is lieutenant commander. The Royal Canadian Navy uses bilingual ranks with capitaine de corvette being the French equivalent of lieutenant commander.
Notable users of the rank of corvette captain in Europe include the navies of France, Germany, Italy and Spain. Other users include many Latin American countries.
While the NATO rank code is OF-3 the official translation of the rank as per NATO STANAG 2116 varies between "commander junior grade" and "commander" (with the next senior rank being translated as "commander senior grade").[1] Some NATO members class their corvette captains as OF-4 when they are serving afloat.[1]
The Russian/Soviet equivalent is "captain, 3rd grade" (капита́н 3-го р́анга).

Orange Leaf Frozen Yogurt's network of self-serve dessert shops treat taste buds without expanding waistlines. Like Willy Wonka's prized collection of gum drops, each cup of creamy frozen yogurt is priced by weight, and comes in an endless assortment of possible flavor and topping combinations. Guests can spoil their dinner without spoiling their diet thanks to Orange Leaf's sensible selection of low-fat treats, some of which clock in at as few as 25 calories per ounce. After diners top their fruit, candy, or chocolate flavored desserts with crumbled graham crackers, peach slices, berries, or granola and they can dig in amid the shops' bright green-and-orange-color scheme.
From cupcakes to calzones, snackers can find a variety of sweet and savory treats at The Sweet Tooth Bakery & Cafe. Besides it's ever-present selection of cookies and specialty chocolate-caramel pretzels, Sweet Tooth's bakers can also design customized cakes for special occasions.
The bakers, confectioners, and designers at Sweet Indulgence continually roll out gourmet goodies that are just as appealing to the eye as they are delicious. The staff can prep sprawling color-coordinated tables that gleefully enhance events such as weddings, parties, and celebrations by showcasing treats such as cupcakes, chocolate-covered fruits, and candies. Mounds of frosting pile high on cupcakes in flavors such as apple pie, carrot cake, and lemon-raspberry, covered in extras such as cinnamon, chocolate chips, and fresh fruit. Lines of frosting adorn cake pops in clever shapes such as Santas, football helmets, or simple, pastel patterns of pink and green, and pies, cannolis, and cakes attract the eye and appetite.
Eggroll Café's menu boasts inventive ingredients like replacing eggrolls' classic fillings with the tastes of cheeseburger, spinach and feta, or steak fajita inside the familiar golden, crispy crusts. The kitchen shies away from the use of added preservatives, flavorants, colorants and trans-fats. Far from the average Asian eatery, here, baristas whip up flavored lattes in irish cream or white-chocolate flavors to pair with bento boxes full of General Gao's chicken, Chicken Katsu, and Spicy Korean Pork. Among the bright yellow walls, patrons sip fruit-flavored bubble teas and take bites of cinn' apple dessert eggrolls to top things off.
The Duck & Bunny offers a menu of savories, delicacies, and comforting treats inside an ornately decorated snuggery, with chandeliers, fine drapes and curtains, and a fireplace whose mantle makes a home for the self-portrait of a handsome bunny. Maxi-sized gourmet cupcakes are freshly crafted daily in different flavors. Cupcake mouth-fragrances include the chewy, fudgy, and sweetly shocking brownie mint surprise, the carrot cupcake, which tops a moist, rabbit bait-flavored mini cake with cream-cheese frosting, and the peanut-butter chocolate truffle, a sweet mountain of chocolate ganache, peanut butter, and chocolate-swirl frosting.

Total Tally Tuesday: Checking Account Balances!
March 9, 2010
by Kate Goodin
Every Tuesday, we'll report exactly how much our families have in their
checking accounts -- and what they're planning to do with it.
Lori: $319.74
I've already accounted for about half of this month's bills, and I've paid the deposits to secure my new apartment. I've written a list of the things I'm going to need to purchase before I move and I've prioritized them. The past few days I've been shopping around and comparing prices. To know I have a few hundred in my account, and get paid in two days, is a far cry from where I was just a few months ago - always running down to a few dollars and not knowing when another check would arrive. I'm still absorbing just how many blessings have arrived over the past few months in my life, and just how much has changed for the better.
Leah: $1275.61
I haven't received an unemployment check in two weeks, but oddly enough I am not worried about how we are going to pay our existing bills. I believe that we should be able to pay our monthly bills without the strain that we have actually been feeling over the last few months. My plan to have certain bills paid off by June is still in effect and seems like it will be successful, leaving the remainder of the year even less financially stressful.

Sam Michael expects McLaren to show good form at Monza, where teams run will run ever lower downforce levels than in the last race in Belgium, where Jenson Button finished sixth.
"It's not really the same as Spa," Michael told this writer. "At Spa you have a trade-off between sector two, which is maximum downforce, and one and three which are minimum downforce. Monza is obviously all low downforce so it is a different aerodynamic track. But we should be good there as well, I think.

Red Wings defenseman Niklas Kronwall talks with NASCAR driver Mark Martin before today's race at Michigan International Speedway. / Toyota Racing
BROOKLYN — Detroit Red Wings defenseman Niklas Kronwall sped around Michigan International Speedway this morning doing around 140 m.p.h. in a pace car. Luckily, nobody got Kronwalled.
�You realize that the guys that are driving during the race are actually up at 200 miles an hour and they�re just a few inches from each other,� Kronwall said. �One mistake can be not very good for anybody. It�s pretty amazing what they can do. I would not want to be hitting the wall at 200 m.p.h.�
Kronwall gave the starting command as the grand marshal before today�s NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Quicken Loans 400.
�I�ve always been a fan of speed,� Kronwall said. �But I�ve never been a part of anything like this.�
Kronwall joins a long list of Detroit pro athletes who have attended the Sprint Cup races at MIS. Red Wings goaltender Jimmy Howard and Nicklas Lidstrom have attended in recent years.
Kronwall, who said he�s going back home to his native Sweden later this week, hasn�t been watching the Stanley Cup final between the Boston Bruins and Chicago Blackhawks.
�For me, it�s still hard to watch. ... Knowing that could have been us,� Kronwall said.
The Wings had a 3-1 lead over the Blackhawks but lost in seven games.
Kronwall said the Wings had a lot of injuries during the season and young players came in and stepped up, which bodes well for the future.
Among the young players that Kronwall praised was fellow defenseman Danny DeKeyser, who signed with the Wings during the season out of Western Michigan.
�He never puts himself in trouble,� Kronwall said of DeKeyser. �It kind of felt like he played a little bit like Nick Lidstrom that way. He�s just very smart and just read the situations.�
There will be some tough decisions made in the off-season with the Wings. Some players won�t be brought back. Some will leave on their own to play elsewhere.
Kronwall said he hopes Valtteri Filppula, an unrestricted free agent, comes back.
�Fil's one of those guys that you don't want to lose,� Kronwall said. �He's a puck possession guy, a real good player and a great person, really good in the room, works hard. He has all the tools. Hopefully we'll be able to keep him.�
Kronwall, who wears No. 55 for the Wings, spent time this morning with Mark Martin, who drives the No. 55 Aaron�s Dream Machine Toyota.

Barefoot Running: How to Run Light and Free by Getting in Touch with the Earth���How could something we have for free�our bare feet�be better for running than $150 shoes? The truth is that running in shoes is high-impact, unstable, and inflexible. Shoes promote a heel-centric ground strike, which weakens your feet, knees, and hips, and leads to common running injuries. In contrast, barefoot running is low-impact, forefoot-centric, stable, and beneficial to your body. It encourages proper form and strengthens your feet in miraculous ways. ���When you run in shoes, you not only risk developing poor form, but you also hinder the natural relationship with the ground that running facilitates. Barefoot running restores the delightful sensory and spiritual connections to the earth that you were meant to experience. ���Barefoot Runningoffers the only step-by-step direction runners need at any age to overcome injuries, run faster than ever, and rediscover the pure joy of running. Once you tear off your shoes and learn to dance with nature, you�ll tread lightly and freely, hearing only the earth�s symphony and feeling only the dirt beneath your feet. Hit the ground running with revolutionary techniques for starting out slowly, choosing minimalist footwear, navigating rough weather and rugged terrain, and building your feet into living shoes. |
