We thought this was worth sharing with everyone:
Morgan and Terri's Adventure:
July 25, 2009 We set out on our trip at about 7:30 a.m., destined for Kelowna, B.C. to see Morgans favorite musician, Michael W. Smith. Now everybody reading this must understand that according to Morgan, the sun rises and sets on this man. We arrived at the Heartland Music Festival grounds about 7 hours later, approximately 4 ½ hours before the concert was to begin. I thought that the road trip would be our adventure, but boy was I wrong! Morgan heard the crew sound checking their equipment, so of course we had to walk down from the van onto the large grassy field to see what was going on. We were only down there for about 10 minutes when the most ferocious wind swept across the concert area, sending vendor canopies twirling up into the air then crashing in a jumbled heap onto the ground. I scrambled to help people catch canopies, t-shirts, and hamburger buns that were blowing in the wind. Then the real storm came. Thunder boomed and lightning was slicing through the sky all around us, and then came a driving sideways rain. Morgan and I along with two other women stood under the food vendor canopy not sure what to do next. Then we decided to run to a nearby van so they could take Morgan and me to our van. The other two women made a dash for it first, with me trying to help Morgan scurry through the downpour. Just as the women made it to the van, a bolt of lightning hit the ground right between us and them. Morgan screamed and I hustled her back to the shelter of the canopy. We were within 20 feet of being struck by lightning! Miss Morgan was a champ, though she ran right back out to the van and we were driven to safety. The photo to the left shows how unaffected she was by the storm. Her hair is wet, but she still has that great smile on her face. She wouldnt have been smiling, however, had she known that all of the sound equipment and instruments got soaked, and due to weather and wet equipment there was a pretty decent chance that the show would not go on. I spent the next 45 minutes lying on blankets with Morgan in the back of the van praying that this crazy storm would go away. How would I explain to her that she would not get to see her favorite musician and we had to turn around and go home? Finally the rain let up although the sky still looked ominous. I parked down with the volunteers and started drying chairs and resecuring canopies while Morgan sat in the van and watched DVDs. As the hours went by, everyone was nervous about the weather and also whether or not the soggy equipment would work. Staff drove into Kelowna to buy hairdryers which they used to painstakingly dry each little component. During that time, I had the pleasure of meeting Matt, Michael W. Smiths bass player. What a nice guy he walked down to the van to meet Morgan and chat with her for a while. About ½ hour later I saw Matt walking back to the van with Jim, Michael, and Ben, the rest of the band members, so that she could meet them as well. All I can say is what a great group of guys! They were so nice to Morgan and me. Closer to the start of the show it was time for our meet and greet with Michael W. Smith. The time of our meet and greet was uncertain due to all of the crazy circumstances. I was told to expect it to happen at about 7:45, but at 7:00 I walked over to the van and as I was headed back I noticed that Michael W. Smith was already out and meeting other people. In my haste to get Morgan back to meet him, I tripped over my flip-flop and broke it. (Note to self never travel with just one pair of flip-flops on your feet and no back-up shoes!) Needless to say I met Michael W. Smith with muddy bare feet. He didnt seem to notice though, or if he did he chose not to comment on it. Didnt really matter anyways this was about Morgan. (Later, with help from a couple of ladies who thought that all of this was pretty funny, I did manage to repair my flip-flop with a paper clip and packing tape. MacGyver aint got nothing on me!) Morgan was so happy to be able to see Michael again, and you can actually watch a bit of video from when she met him on michaelwsmith.com and click on the news article Almost Rained Out in Kelowna, B.C. Miss Morgan is now a star! As we got closer and closer to showtime, the sky was dark grey and lightning was visible over the mountain. However, God must have been listening to our prayers and the storm stayed far enough away. Finally, the crew was able to get most things working and the show began about 1 ½ hours late. I was so thankful! Steven Curtis Chapman opened and put on a great show. But of course, Morgan was there to see Michael W. Smith, with his blue eyes and white teeth as she likes to say. As soon as he came on, that kid was up and dancing in front of the stage. Then just as he was starting his second song, he invited everyone up to the front to dance. All that did was push Morgan even closer to the stage and she ended up at the very front, close enough to reach out and touch the stage (or Michaels feet for that matter!) She was in Morgan heaven! What a great night of dancing right in front of the stage and watching the band members (our new friends) make their magic on the stage. Matt even looked down at me and Morgan while he was playing and give us a smile and a wink. When the show was over he untaped the song list from the stage and gave it to Morgan as a keepsake. I love going to Christian events because you get to meet so many nice people. Morgan and I were going to crash in the back of the van on blankets and pillows at a campground but a nice couple named Susan & Jim invited us to stay in a spare bedroom at their house in Kelowna. So, we slept in cozy beds and started the long drive home the next morning. This was one of those memorable trips where so many things happened that you just had to shake your head and laugh or you might get frustrated. But it was all worthwhile when I got to dance with Morgan in front of the stage and see the joy both on her face and in her dancing and singing. I love it that there are still people in this world who have amazing hearts and want to do something special for a special kid like Morgan. They are truly being the lights that Christ told us to be in this world.

What are the most common food allergies?
Comment on this
Read 1 Comment
In adults, the most common foods that cause allergic reactions are shellfish, such as shrimp, crayfish, lobster, and crab; nuts from trees, such as walnuts; fish; eggs; and peanuts, a legume that is one of the chief foods that cause serious anaphylactic reactions. In highly allergic people, even minuscule amounts of a food allergen (for example, 1/44,000 of a peanut kernel) can evoke an allergic reaction. Less sensitive people, however, may be able to tolerate small amounts of a food to which they are allergic. In children, the pattern is somewhat different from adults, and the most common foods that cause allergic reactions are eggs, milk, peanuts, and fruits, particularly tomatoes and strawberries. Children sometimes outgrow their allergies, but adults usually do not lose theirs. Also, children are more likely to outgrow allergies to cow's milk or soy formula than allergies to peanuts, fish, or shrimp. Adults and children tend to react to those foods they eat more often. For example, in Japan, allergy to rice, and in Scandinavia, allergy to codfish, is more common than elsewhere. What is cross-reactivity?Cross-reactivity is the occurrence of allergic reactions to foods that are chemically or otherwise related to foods known to cause allergy in an individual. If someone has a life-threatening reaction to a certain food, the doctor will counsel that patient to avoid related foods, which also might induce the same reaction. For example, if a person has a history of a severe allergy to shrimp, he or she can also possibly be allergic to crab, lobster, and crayfish. Patient CommentsViewers share their comments

Recent reviews:
March 8, 2014 - 3 stars!! I bought this ring in black. It was so perfect for me (online). I received it in the mail today and I was crushed. It was much less detailed, thinner and you can't even read the sentiment because font is so small. I am not a big "online" shopper but this caught my eye and I'll do anything to support animals. I will keep this ring because of that reason. However, if I had to do over again I would really pay more attention to reviews and not just be swayed by what the pic looks like, because this ring didn't deliver in that department.
March 4, 2014 - I ordered this ring in blue in remembrance of my Jojo. Love the color and the shine. The inscription inside means alot.
March 2, 2014 - Great ring.
February 24, 2014 - Ordered this in black. One for me and one for my daughter. It is ok, but nothing shows up very well on the ring. Paw prints just look like black dots. There are a lot of prettier rings on this site. try those.
February 18, 2014 - I ordered my ring standard shipping on Thursday and received it promptly on Tuesday. I am in love with this ring. I ordered it in blue and the color is true to the picture. A perfect symbol of my pet to take with me everywhere I go.

This is such a great place for a
special occasion or a romantic night out on the town. The food is absolutely amazing, the staff is incredibly helpful and attentive, and the ambiance is hard to beat with its romantic lighting and quiet atmosphere. Wonderful experience!!"
Dined on 3/3/2014
One of the best restaurants in
southeast Michigan. Fantastic steaks that equal or better big name chains."
Dined on 3/1/2014
My opinion is the restaurant is
terribly overpriced !!! I tried it once,but will not return as I can get the same great food elsewhere for a lesser amount."
Dined on 2/27/2014
This restaurant is a good
steakhouse but it would be nice if they changed their menu from time to time. It needs a bit more of a European flavor/style since the price is so high."
Dined on 2/26/2014
We went to the Chop House for our
son's birthday, who turned 19. They put our party of 6 in the back room, which was nice because it was quiet, but they initially put us at a table for 8, which was way too large and next to a door that the staff used. We asked for the other table in the room, which was much more intimate and away from the door and they were amenable. The food was expensive but very good. We ordered the seafood platter, which was a bit stingy for the price, but everything was tasty. My one complaint was that although we told both the hostess and the waiter that we had a birthday, they did not bring us a dessert with a candle in it like they should have done. I did mention it and they apologized."
Dined on 2/22/2014
My wife and I wanted to celebrate
an early dinner for her birthday. I had made the reservation asking for a romantic table. The food and service were very good as usual, but we arrived at 4:00 when they opened. There was only one table occupied at such an early hour. The romantic table the hostess gave to us was the two-topper right next to the only other people in the restaurant. It was surprising and disappointing. I should have asked for a different table, but didn't address it with my wife until we'd given our drink orders. The nice people at the table next to us wished my wife happy bday and made a comment during dessert that they thought the seating was strange and hoped we enjoyed our meal despite essentially having them at our table"
Dined on 2/23/2014
The evening began on a
disappointing note. Having made a reservation for 6:00, my guest and I were told that the only table available was in a corner in the back of the restaurant, which I declined. About 6:30, a suitable table was made available to us. After serving us the lamb chops appetizer that we ordered, our waiter returned shortly afterward to ask whether everything was to our liking. I responded that the lamb chops were very chewy. He replaced them immediately with a serving that was excellent. The remaining dishes were excellent as well. Overall, with the exception of a couple of hiccups, the food, the ambience, and the service were excellent."
Dined on 2/21/2014
Our order was just behind a party
of 27, so it took a little extra time to get our meals, but they let us know about the issue so we were not thinking we had been forgotten. The bottle of wine was nice and appropriately priced. They surprised is with some truffles and Happy 14th Anniversary written with chocolate."
Dined on 2/19/2014
If a elegant and romantic night
out is what you are looking for this is the spot for you and spouse. Excellent food and great atmosphere"
Dined on 2/19/2014
My boyfriend and I tried the Chop
House for my birthday dinner (a great opportunity to do so, as you get 50% off the bill for a party of 2 on your birthday). We both ordered the Cowboy Steak medium-rare and were very pleased. The marbling was fantastic, and the steak was melt-in-your-mouth. We also got some sweet potato fries, which were tasty. The server was extremely attentive and knowledgeable, as well. Overall, we were both very pleased. It's not something we could afford often, but it was great for a special night out."
Dined on 2/15/2014
Excellent food, terrific martinis
and the best service we've experienced."
Dined on 2/15/2014
If you are looking for a five star
restaurant, this is the place to go. I believe that this is THE best establishment to dine at for any occasion. The prices are a bit higher than your average place, however, I would pay more for the experience here. OUTSTANDING! !!"
Dined on 2/15/2014
We both ordered the beef
wellington and it melted like butter in our mouths. Outstanding! This was the reason we came to the Chop House and we were not disappointed in our steaks. Appetizers and accompaniments were good, but nothing to rave about. The service was less than spectacular. Our server knew one of the guests at the table next to us and spent entirely too much time visiting with them, including looking at pictures on the guest's phone. Two other restaurant staffers also came by this table at different times to visit. We waited a long time between appetizer and finally ordering entrees, to the point where we almost sought out a manager. All in all, we still enjoyed our special night out."
Dined on 2/15/2014
Amazing ambiance and service,
thanks for making my boyfriend and I's valentines extra special.... AND Extremely TASTY! Thank you!!!!!!!!!!"
Dined on 2/14/2014
Terrific food, service and
ambience. We always come back to Chop House."
Dined on 2/15/2014
I took my fiance here for dinner
on Valentine's day. This was our first time here and it did not disappoint. The food and service were great. The server was very knowledgeable and friendly, without being pushy. I had the beef wellington with sides of lobster mac n cheese and asparagus while my fiance had the steak au poivre with smashed garlic potatos. Expensive, but for those once in a while locations, it was worth it!"
Dined on 2/14/2014
I had Valentine's dinner with a
friend, the server was ok but the hostess was really rude and unfriendly. I just discovered from the server that she was actually the manager of the restaurant. The foods are not that good either, they could have a better menu for such a restaurant in Ann Arbor. I had the New York loin strip and it was under cook, under seasoned and chewy. They could put a better presentation on the foods. The atmosphere was nice but the restaurant itself was loud. It was not worth the prices compare with quality of their foods and services."
Dined on 2/13/2014
Food and Service were very good.
Going on your birthday and getting 50% off, Great!"

Dined on 2/11/2014
After getting seated we waited
over 15 minutes before being served. We waited another 15 minutes before our first drink arrived. To top things off, we had empty glasses from our first drinks for quite some time. I had to physically get up on two occasions to ask for the waiter."
Dined on 2/9/2014
I've never had a bad experience at
The Chop House. We had dinner and wine upstairs and moved downstairs for dessert."
Dined on 2/8/2014
Great meat, ample portions,
delicious spinach. The lobster bisque was truly outstanding. Easy to have a conversation yet a lively atmosphere. Not too old. Pricey pricey pricey."
Dined on 2/8/2014
Awesome food and service. It can
be quite expensive so try to go with someone that has a birthday. Ann arbor birthday deal!"
Dined on 2/7/2014
Despite an empty restaurant,we
were seated next to the kitchen door with high traffic. When asked what the seasonal beer was, the server said he would check. Upon his return, he forgot to check. I ordered a bottle of wine asking his opinion and showing him the photo and description... He said it was a nice bottle of wine. Turned around and asked me again which bottle it was... REALLY.??? Our dinner was great, but being there for a birthday celebration, we were not offered dessert. Overall, seating was horrible and service was less than expected! Next time we want to spend almost $400 for dinner and drinks with no appetizers or dessert, it will not be at the Chop House in Ann Arbor sitting in the Kitchen!"

Dined here for my birthday and had
the pleasure of having Carolyn as my server. Also took notice of our water person, Ken. Ken recognized me and was very friendly. He is a very hard worker and I could tell he loves being there. My husband usually orders the blackened swordfish and was disappointed that it no longer appears on the menu. There were a few new desserts and I tried the lemon and grapefruit with almonds. Fantastic!! Shout out to Jeff Thomas, my all time favorite server! Thank you to the hostess that remembered it was my birthday as soon as I walked in and arranged to have risotto brought to me from Gratzi. I'm sorry I forgot your name, but you added to our dining experience! Thank you again for making us feel like VIP's!"

The Chop House is such a fantastic
place. The food is always perfect, the service is flawless. The atmosphere, both for parties or just two of us, has been great! We drive a bit to get there but it's been worth it every time."

We went for a birthday celebration
and were not disappointed. The food was terrific and the wait staff were very friendly and knowledgeable. We will definitely be back for our next celebration. The ambiance was very romantic and despite the tables being very close together, we did not feel like we were too close to others or like we could hear others' conversations or they could hear ours. We will definitely be back!"

It all came down to the kitchen -
which just didn't give us much. My standard is this: for $300 a couple, I expect to be wowed at every part of the meal and I expect to crave going back again. That just didn't happen. Let's go chronologically. The wine was great (note, not from the kitchen). The cheese plate was good, but the cheddar was mild and uninspiring. It was a good, solid cheese plate - not great. My beef Wellington was just a disappointment. Maybe it was my taste buds, but the flavor was just, well, "sour". The puff pastry envelope was soggy, mostly. The beef itself was tender, but the texture wasn't pleasing for some reason - like it was boiled. My wife's short ribs were - to me - tough and sinewy. Dessert was the only great part."

The food was excellent and luckily
we were celebrating a birthday, so we were able to get 25% off the bill. The atmosphere was a little overwrought to me, but the restaurant is definitely worth a visit."

This is my 5th visit to The Chop
House and I enjoy the beef Wellington. Each time it is perfect. I actually return for this reason. The creamed corn is fresh and tasty. Garlic mashed potatoes are great. The appetizers were great and the calamari a favorite. The scallops and filet have been a group favorite. When you are able after the great meal the tiramisu and hot chocolate cake desserts are great as other selections. The server who we request is Morgan. She is great with wine selections and I must say the prices are reasonable for a steakhouse. Morgan is delightful. She is engaging, prompt and pleasant with a great grasp of the menu. Not to mention she is not stuffy. Makes the dining experience even better. Favorite in Ann Arbor"

I have been to AA Chop House many
times and have always been thrilled with the excellent food and service. Unfortunately, this evening was a very different experience. Our food was adequately prepared at best. Too much $$$$ for marginal results. Also, food portions are too large. Suggest they cut portion sizes and prices."

Although Ann Arbor has a very good
representation of, and a well-earned reputation for good restaurants, The Chop House always seems special to me. It has a very proper feel as you would expect a great steak place to have. The staff is always friendly, and attentive, never aloof. The atmosphere sparkles. The drinks from the bar are good, as is the wine list.The filet is excellent, and the pepper-incrusted tuna is the best entre featuring tuna that I have ever had. The option of finishing the experience in La Dolce Vida, next door, is delightful. Although my preference is that of a nice 20 year tawny port, they provide numerous exceptional desert, wine and spirit options to make the experience a night to remember. Excellent experience!"

One of the best meals I may have

The Chop House is a must, but
hopefully on someone else's dime. Over-priced dining is a luxury that very few get to experience. The ambiance and service are what you would expect from fine-dining, and the food is delectable. I would be wary of the $80 "Wagyu" beef. Wagyu is Japanese cattle, and to have it in the US is not an official form of Wagyu. You are paying for an imposter. It was good, but not "Smith & Wolkenski" or "Gibson's" good. It is however, the best Ann Arbor has to offer. If you have a budget, stick to the filet or the porterhouse, and you can't go wrong."

We've been to the Chop House many
times, but have been going less and less recently. You know you are going to spend a pile of money, but in return you expect excellent food and excellent service. The food is good (not excellent) and the service is poor. We were there for 45 minutes before someone came to take our order. They are supposed to go through the whole big spiel about "has everyone dined with us, we have USDA prime beef, everything is served ala carte so order a couple of sides to share, and here are the specials." Nope. None of that. I had to ask to find out what the specials were. When you are spending that kind of money, you are looking for a special experience, and it wasn't delivered. I'd much rather go to Morton's"

We are less than a month away from the trade deadline and rumors are heating up. The hottest gossip on the Kings front is that there have been some talks between L.A. and Buffalo. The name that has come up the most has been Robyn Regehr. Regehr has the reputation of being a big, tough stay-at-home rearguard who can also kill penalties. In addition, he played for Sutter in Calgary and was one of his favorites. It seems like he could fill a need for the Kings whose back-end has lost the veteran presence of Matt Greene and Willie Mitchell. But is Regehr a worthy replacement?
We know that possession numbers (aka Corsi) correlate very heavily with goal differentials and winning over the long-term. Possession is also a thing emphasized heavily in the Kings organizational philosophy. So what do Regehr's numbers look like?
Regehr is fourth worst in the NHL. Out of 187 defensemen, he ranks 184th in possession. But perhaps his numbers are being affected by getting really tough minutes on a bad team?
This next chart selects a group of defensemen that have been used similarly to Regehr. They have played against similar levels of competition while also playing with similarly skilled teammates. Higher "teammate quality" equals better teammates. Higher "opponent quality" equals harder competition.
(This one is sortable)
Hmm, that doesn't look good. Regehr is 3rd worst among this group. The midpoint for this group is ~45% and Regher's numbers are far below that.
Well, let's see...he has spent most of his time backing the Vanek/ Hodgson/ Pominville line. He's also spent a lot of time with Steve Ott. How has he affected their numbers?
Yikes. Regehr has been a big drag on every single one of those guys. His numbers with Ott would be funny if they weren't so sad. Basically, when he and Ott are on the ice, the Sabres never have the puck. Well maybe it's not Regehr. Maybe it's his defensive partners. What has his effect been on them?
Geez. That's not good. He negatively affects them as well. And poor Andrej Sekera. His numbers are really being dragged down with Regehr. Wait...I wonder if this Sekera guy is available (more on that later)?
Well none of this looks good, but maybe at least Regehr is still useful on the penalty kill?
Among the top 84 defensemen in penalty killing ice time, Robyn Regehr has been on ice for the 3rd most shots on goal against (relative to ice time). So no, he hasn't even been effective in that role.
The Kings should have absolutely zero interest in Regehr. In fact, they should hope he gets traded to a Western Conference opponent so that he would drag their numbers down and be able to exploit him in a possible playoff matchup.
Quisp asked recently, in a post over at McSorley's Stick, which Sabres should be most coveted by the Kings. We now know who should be the least coveted. Who should they be looking for instead?
Andrej Sekera is a very solid, young defensemen with a very amenable contract. He is not afraid of the puck, can play physical and plays in all situations. His possession numbers are much better than Regehr's, in spite of playing with far less skilled linemates. Also, as we saw above, his overall numbers are great when he hasn't been paired with Regehr-- especially considering how difficult his minutes have been.
The problem is he would cost a lot more. His value would probably be something like Derek Forbort plus a pick (although I'm sure they'd push hard for Toffoli or Pearson). Who knows if this would even be a possibility, but at the very least I would hope the Kings are inquiring on Sekera and are not seriously pursuing Regehr.

Sudden cardiac arrest: the facts may shock you
Each year, sudden cardiac arrest (SCA)—an abrupt loss of heart function caused by a rapid disturbance in the heart's natural rhythm—claims the lives of more than 5,768 Iowans, or approximately 16 lives per day.
SCA can happen to anyone, but some people are at greater risk—including heart attack survivors, people who have heart failure, those who have survived a past episode of SCA or have a family history of SCA and people with a low ejection fraction (a measurement of the heart's pumping ability).

Temple Beth Israel of Longboat Key has created the Gala Awards — to be held annually — to recognize extraordinary contributions by its members.
"The temple has traditionally benefited from the generosity and tireless efforts of dedicated members; such dedication should be encouraged, and such members deserve recognition," said temple Vice President Dr. David Solomon "It just makes sense to associate these awards with the annual gala, because it is the year's most elegant temple event."
The first Gala Award for extraordinary service will be presented to what the temple calls its "Quintessential Quartet" — four members without whom the life of the congregation would be hard to imagine. They are Ruth Engman, Maye Lavinson, Joe Miller and Richard Olin. The Rising Star award, given to a member who has belonged to the temple for five years or less, goes to Sandie Cutler-Cohen. Among many other contributions, she was in charge of the Beth Israel Women's recent cookbook, "The Secret Ingredient."
"Ultimately, it is the members who truly make a congregation," said Rabbi Jonathan Katz. "I am grateful to have the opportunity to honor those who have done so much to make Beth Israel such a special place."
The first Gala Awards will be presented at the 2010 Gala at 6 p.m. Sunday, Jan. 10, at Michael's On East.
Tickets are $190 per person; patrons are $500 per person and up. Call the temple office at 383-3428 for more information.

when you create a line with the pen tool then add an extra anchor point, how do you move that point without the handles creating a curve.
Can you remove the handles?
I just want jagged angles like an ekg machine.
Make it a habit to keep one finger on ctrl and one on alt while working with the pen tool.
Ctrl temporarily switches to the direct selection/path selection tool (whichever is the active one). Alt switches to the convert point tool.
This lets you move and modify any point and any handle as you go along.

LXX—UNIVERSITY MEMORIAL HALL, GORDON STREET (formerly All Saints Church)
All Saints Church, Consecrated on 19th December, 1842, was designed by Thomas Leverton Donaldson, Professor of Architecture at University College. It was closed in 1909 and was converted into a memorial hall in connection with the same college by Professor A. E. Richardson, R.A. in 1928.
The building was a plain parallelogram with galleries and its eastern elevation to Gordon Street was of brick, designed in a pseudo-Greek manner. The front was crowned by a pediment and entablature with four brick pilasters with stone capitals. A subsidiary frieze was introduced between the capitals. The central two-light window was framed between the middle pair of pilasters and there were two entrance doorways with semicircular carved overdoors. A brick cupola surmounted the pediment. The accompanying drawing gives the elevation as modified by Professor Richardson to meet conditions imposed by ecclesiastical authority.
Figure 28: University Memorial Hall—Elevation of Street Front
While the general lines of the original church determined the scope of the remodelling, spacious galleries were introduced, the walls were panelled and external staircases were added. The dominant feature of the interior was the coffered cedar wood ceiling. The building was totally destroyed by a high explosive bomb in 1940.
The list of incumbents of All Saints Church is as follows—

Home > Articles > Published articles > Increasing size and abundance of microbialites (oncoids) in connection with the K/T boundary in non-marine environments in the South Central Pyrenees |
Date: | 2012 |
Abstract: | A layer rich in giant microbialites, developed within continental deposits of the Tremp Formation (South-Central Pyrenees) in the aftermath of the end-Cretaceous mass extinctions, is here reported for the first time. Its stratigraphic location just above the Latest Maastrichtian Reptile Sandstone unit, and a characteristic 13C anomaly, are clear proofs linking this so-called "z" layer to the K/T boundary. The great abundance of microbialites, their outsized dimensions (oncoids with coating thickness up to 1. 2m; average >50mm), and the great lateral continuity of the "z" layer in the study zone, support the hypothesis that these giant microbialites may represent disaster forms linked to the latest Mesozoic crisis. To our knowledge, this is the first time a record of this type is reported in continental realms. Other large continental oncoids and stromatolite constructions (e. g. , in the Late Palaeogene deposits of the Pyrenees, Ebro basin, and Mallorca island) differ from those of the "z" layer in occurring in carbonate rocks and in having less lateral continuity, but they could also have been favoured by palaeoenvironmental crises, such as the global Eocene hyperthermals, Early Eocene Climatic Optimum, Middle Eocene Climatic Optimum, and the climatic cooling of the Eocene-Oligocene transition. It is thus possible that some layers of microbialites may record biotic crises in continental series, as they do in the marine record. |

SALEM, N.H. — Newt Gingrich warned voters not to "Mass up" the Republican nomination at a Town Hall meeting last night.
He spoke to hundreds of voters at Salem High School last night, taking questions from the crowd. He praised the low taxes and budget cuts in New Hampshire, but had harsh words for both the Massachusetts government and a former governor of Massachusetts.
"There's a huge difference between a Massachusetts moderate who increased taxes and a genuine Reagan conservative who fought for tax cuts," he said. "I'm dramatically more conservative than Mitt Romney. I'm prepared to insist on tax cuts and I will balance the budget within a few years. I intend to change Washington."
He had some harsh words for Massachusetts, criticizing the state for higher taxes and a bigger government as compared to New Hampshire. He asked for a show of hands from people who have moved from Massachusetts to New Hampshire and applauded them for their good decision.
Gingrich said voters have a choice and need to decide which candidate they believe can defeat Obama and represent conservative values in Washington.
"I believe I can defeat Obama in a debate decisively," he said. "With no disrespect to my competitors, I don't believe a one of them can do it."
Gingrich also discussed his affinity for Reagan economics, annoyance with environmentalist concerns about energy development and ideas for education reform.
The crowd responded to Gingrich with cheers and laughter at his jokes. His many supporters said Gingrich is the best candidate for the job, including campaign volunteer Tim Peirce, 44, of Derry.
"When I listen to the candidates, I hear real substantive ideas from Newt that come out of his experience in Washington," he said. "I feel like Newt's electable. His numbers are down here, but I don't concern myself with polls. Ron Paul could have 70 percent in a poll, but he's not going to be elected nationally. Rick Perry could be down as low as 9 percent and he's still electable. But looking at overall electability and conservative values, Gingrich is the best."
Tom Cody, 55, of Andover, Mass. said he crossed the border to support Gingrich and didn't know about the night's Massachusetts theme.
"I'm not offended," he said, "Sometimes I wonder why I live in Massachusetts. Living there you don't get a chance to see many conservatives come around. Part of the issue is Massachusetts people have moved to Southern New Hampshire and there's been a dilution of the conservative voice in New Hampshire."
But mixed in among the die-hard Gingrich supporters were some residents who remained undecided about which candidate they'd like to support. Susan Flagg, 72, of Salem said she and her husband have gone to see each of the Republican candidates in turn.
"I'm still making up my mind," she said. "I don't think there's much of a choice though. I think Gingrich is too much of an inside politician. I don't think there would be much change. Probably Romney would be better. He's a politician but he's never been in Washington and I think his business mind is good. I think he would be an all-right president and he could probably beat Obama."
Barry Rogers, 63, of Plaistow said he's also undecided and an independent.
"I've seen Huntsman, Ron Paul, Santorum, Newt tonight and Romney tomorrow," he said. "I'm making the rounds. I think the overall slate of candidates is weak, but out of all of them I like Huntsman. I think Gingrich is one of the more interesting candidates though. He speaks his mind and stirs things up."

Joe Christensen covered Major League Baseball for 15 years, including three seasons at the Baltimore Sun and eight at the Star Tribune, before switching to the college football beat. He's a Faribault, Minn., native who graduated from the University of Minnesota in 1996. He covered Jim Wacker's Gophers for the Minnesota Daily and also wrote about USC, UCLA and the Rose Bowl for the Riverside Press-Enterprise before getting this chance to cover football again.
Email Joe to talk about the Gophers.
University of Minnesota athletes don't have to look far to see the importance of bone marrow donors.
Longtime Gophers pitching coach Todd Oakes was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia last June, and a bone marrow transplant from his brother helped save his life. Oakes is in remission and back coaching the baseball team, as Samuel Gordon writes in today's Minnesota Daily.
Gophers wide receiver Connor Cosgrove was diagnosed with leukemia in 2010. He didn't need a transplant, but he has spoken to the team about the importance of registering healthy donors.
The football team and an organization called Be The Match are hosting a bone marrow registry drive on Wednesday from 1-4 p.m., in the Gophers locker room at TCF Bank Stadium.
The team has a goal of registering 1,750 new members and raising $10,000. To donate, click here. And here's some information on registering from GopherSports.com.
Be The Match focuses on finding potential donors ages 18-44, so it is critical that they register as many college students as possible. Their research shows that younger donors are best for patients because they provide the greatest chance for transplant success. Donors between the ages of 18 and 44 are asked to donate more than 90% of the time.
The registration process is quick, simple and painless. Potential marrow donors simply need to complete a registration form with contact information, health information and sign an agreement to join the Be The Match registry. Those who will be registering are encouraged to bring personal identification (such as a driver's license or passport) and contact information for two family members or friends.
After the paperwork is complete, all potential donors have to do is have the inside of their cheek swabbed. Their information will be stored in the Be The Match registry. This is the national registry where doctors turn to when their patient needs a marrow transplant and there is not a known matching donor in the family.
Hello, and welcome to my new blog.
I'm Joe Christensen, the new Gophers football beat writer for the Star Tribune. I swapped places with Phil Miller, who is moving to the Twins beat this year, joining La Velle Neal.
I've spent the past 15 years covering Major League Baseball, including the past eight at the Star Tribune. I enjoyed it thoroughly, but it became tougher and tougher to be gone so many nights with a wife and two young kids at home.
Last summer, I went to my editors requesting a change, and I don't think it could have worked out any better. College football always has been a passion of mine, dating to my time covering Jim Wacker's Gophers for the Minnesota Daily in 1994.
After graduating from the University in 1996, I covered prep football for Riverside (Calif.) Press-Enterprise. And later, during my time on the Dodgers beat, I had chances to cover USC, UCLA, as well as the Rose Bowl. That said, I've got a lot to learn before I'll consider myself an expert on college football.
While covering baseball, I viewed my Around the Majors blog as a chance to take the readers along for the ride. I'll post breaking news here, when something happens with the Gophers. And I'll work to bolster our coverage with bonus items that I find interesting or amusing along the way.
Thanks for stopping by. You can also follow along on Twitter -- @JoeCStrib.
Only 41,062 tickets were sold to the Gophers' game against Purdue last Saturday, already the smallest crowd in TCF Bank Stadium's four-year history, and it looked like there were several thousand no-shows, too. It's a shame that so many Gopher fans missed the most impressive victory of the season so far.
But Jerry Kill said Tuesday he knows who is to blame for such a dispiriting turnout: He is.
Well, sort of. It's not really his fault that the Gophers don't draw well, but it is his responsibility, he said, for making sure that changes.
"If we continue to win, that place will be packed out and we'll have to build on to it," Kill said at his weekly news conference. "If you don't win, that's the way it is. ... It's our job. It's not our fans -- I'm not going to blame anybody. We've got to put a good product out there. That's what I was hired to do a year and a half ago, and that's what we'll do."
Kill said he has been heartened during his tenure here to discover that there are plenty of enthusiastic fans out there, and that negative opinions are offset by positive ones.
"There are a tremendous amount of people that have stuck by the program," Kill said. "There's enough passion in this state, and enough passion in this room. We start winning games, and expect it every week, and all of that stuff will come."
While Kill was praising Minnesotans who has supported him, his boss was trying to keep discouraged fans from abandoning the program. Athletic director Norwood Teague last week wrote an explanation for his and Kill's decision to cancel a two-game series with North Carolina and pay an $800,000 termination fee to do it.
Over the weekend, Teague sent a letter via email to season-ticket holders, hoping to reassure those who were especially critical of the decision. Kill, Teague and the athletic department received dozens of complaints about the North Carolina series, and Teague acknowledged that the move wasn't well-received. But "I also want to personally assure you that even if we don't always agree on decisions," Teague wrote, "I will always be guided by the best interests of athletics and the entire university community."
The controversy is a matter of tactics, not strategy, Teague said.
"While we may not agree on every decision, I have heard broad agreement that rebuiding the Gopher football program is a priority, not only for the team and its fans, but also for Gopher athletics and the university," Teague wrote. "I will continue to work closely with Coach Kill to implement a plan that builds a winning tradition that inspires pride, fills the stadium with fans, leads us to bowl games, attracts top student-athletes, and generates revenue."
In an effort to create a loud and electric atmosphere for Saturday's game against Syracuse, the Gophers' only night game at TCF Bank Stadium this year, Minnesota put more than 5,000 upper-bowl tickets on sale shortly after last Saturday's victory over Western Michigan.
Gopher fans apparently know a bargain -- the tickets were snapped up by Monday evening.
There are still tickets available to watch the Gophers try to improve to 4-0, but all in the better reserved sections, priced between $40-90. Assuming those tickets move by game time, it could give the Gophers their first sellout of the season.
And nobody is rooting for that more than Jerry Kill. The coach emphasized how much the fans at TCF Bank Stadium helped his team on Saturday -- and that's with a mediocre crowd that the university announced as 44,921 tickets sold, but looked like several thousand fewer, certainly a smaller crowd than one week earlier against New Hampshire.
In discussing the Gopher defense's stand on Western Michigan's final possession, Kill said, "To be honest, I think the crowd had something to do with it."
The Broncos, apparently having communication problems, were penalized five yards on first down for having five men in the backfield. After a sack and a short run, they faced third-and-18.
"The crowd was tremendous on third down," Kill said. "If we're on the road, that may be a little bit of a different story."
Western Michigan quarterback Alex Carder's pass was broken up by Michael Carter on third down, and receiver Jaime Wilson was stopped short of the first-down marker on fourth down, cementing the Gophers' victory.
Carder "was trying to check (change) plays. I can't tell you how important it is when that stadium is loud and it's third down, how tough that is on the quarterback," Kill said. "Everybody's calling plays on the line of scrimmage right now. Communication to get 10 guys to do the right thing is not easy."
Better get used to those 11 a.m. kickoffs again.
BTN announced its TV schedule for September on Thursday, and the Gophers' home games against New Hampshire on Sept. 8 and Western Michigan on Sept. 15 are morning starts, something the Gophers avoided at TCF Bank Stadium last season.
Along with the Oct. 13 game against Northwestern, that means Minnesota has been relegated to the early starts in three of the four home games announced so far. The exception is Sept. 22 against Syracuse, which will kick off at 7 p.m.
Last season, six of Minnesota's seven home games began at 2:30 p.m., a result of Gophers athletic director Joel Maturi lobbying the conference and its network for relief from the morning starts, which make it more difficult for fans to tailgate. But the policy only lasted one season.
In addition to a pair of road games -- a 10 p.m. CDT kickoff at UNLV on Aug. 30 and an 11 a.m. start at Iowa on Sept. 29 -- the Gophers now know the start times for the first half of their 12-game schedule. Most of the remaining games will not be assigned kickoff times until 10 days before each game, as the Big Ten's TV partners slot the games into their schedule. Minnesota's opener in Las Vegas will be televised by CBS College Sports, and the next three games will air live on BTN.

He thinks the message sank in. He's seen more self-policing from the Maniacs, a concept the group already encouraged. He has sent invitations to his counterparts at other Big 12 schools to tailgate with the student group before games, and the group has emphasized sportsmanship more this season than in any since his arrival in Morgantown.
"You only get one chance to make a first impression," he said.
Local residents want that impression to be positive as well, said retired postmaster Tommy White. White is the coordinator for a group called the Goodwill City ambassadors; volunteers who meet fans from rival teams and see if they need any help or information on game day.
White said last weekend's Maryland game was the first time the ambassadors were deployed. He thought the roughly 20 people did a great job, and he heard positive feedback from both Terrapin and Mountaineer faithful alike.
He thinks such a local initiative is critical as WVU moves into the Big 12. Originally from Fort Worth, Texas, White said he wants the new fans from his homeland to experience the same hospitality he has enjoyed since 2007.
"I want those people to see the beauty that we have up here," White said. "I want them to see that 'Almost Heaven' portion."
The ambassadors will be out in full force this Saturday, with people roaming and stationed throughout the parking lot, White said.
They've received a little training from university police about interacting with unruly fans, but WVU Police Chief Bob Roberts said incidents have been down this year.
Everyone is putting in the work to create a new WVU reputation, he said. But he's confident there's more to it than the move to a new conference: Mountaineers want visitors to enjoy their time in West Virginia.
"All too often people see the negative and they don't see the good," Roberts said. "This is an opportunity to help people see what the community is all about."
WVU football - and the push for civility - will be put to the test Saturday in Morgantown against Baylor. Kickoff is slated for noon.

Skyward Sword sets out in Skyloft, a land above the clouds. Citizens of Skyloft fly on birds called Loftbirds, their main way of transportation. After certain events, Link must go on a journey to the land below the clouds, to save his beloved friend Zelda, who does not play the role of a princess in this game. With the help of the Goddess Sword (also known as the Skyward Sword), Link and Fi traverse the land, from many terrains to find out what, and who is truly behind all this!
Wii Motion Plus is also integrated into Skyward Sword, which allows 1:1 motion controls. This brings many new elements into play, such as swing perfection and precise movements.

baby sleep trainingTeaching your baby to fall asleep on his own can be challenging at first, but the payoff is big for both of you.
If getting your baby to sleep is a singing, rocking and jiggling process that's exhausting the whole family, you may want to consider sleep training. "The process involves teaching your baby a new way of going to sleep, usually from being rocked or fed to sleep to falling asleep in her crib," says Jodi Mindell, Ph.D. Make sure you Wrap Your Baby Right.
Experts suggest sleep training when your baby is older than 4 months and is not sick, attempting a major developmental milestone or going through separation anxiety. Training methods differ, but the crucial thing is to pick one and stick to it for at least a week.

Most training methods suggest you put your baby down drowsy but awake, then check in with him at regular intervals until he falls asleep.

"When babies are first learning how to self-soothe, they are frustrated because they don't know how to put themselves to sleep," says Spivak. "Frustration equals crying."

She suggests handling crying with verbal reassurance ("Sweetie, go to sleep. We love you."), but says lingering or touching will cause your child to think he's going to be picked up and prolong crying.
The good news? If you're consistent in one method (including for naps and nighttime wake-ups) the duration and intensity of tears should taper off dramatically within a few nights.

Tips to train by
Prepare your child's room Darkness (an 8 or 9 on a scale of 10) and quiet are musts. A fan or white-noise machine is great for blocking household noise.
Same time, same place Keep your nighttime ritual iron-clad and stick to an early bedtime (between 7 p.m. and 8 p.m.) so your baby goes down tired, but not frazzled.
Take notes Record when you checked on your child and how long crying lasted each night and during wake-ups. Tracking progress will help you stay motivated.
