Nike Flyknit Lunar 2 Mens Running Shoes – Black/White/Grey
Nike's Flyknit was inspired by feedback by runners who required a shoe with the fit of a sock. Embarking on a four-year mission, Nike worked to create the technology needed to make a knit upper with static properties for structure and durability. The result was an impossibly light, yet incredibly strong running shoe.
The Flyknit construction provides essential breathability and features lightweight zones of support, with stretch Flywire cables wrapping round the medical arch. These lightweight cables work with the Dynamic Fit system and are customisable through the laces.
Made entirely of polyester yarn, it's a one-piece layer with an integrated knit tongue for enhanced comfort. They're openly woven in areas that need greater flexibility and tight in areas that require more support.
With Lunarlon support providing a soft yet responsive ride, these trainers feature a resilient foam core for a springy response and plush feel, allowing the force of impact to be more evenly distributed and reducing the painful pressure points on your foot.
Other features such as the Fitsole sockliner conforms to the foot for support, whilst the pull on heel tab ensures they're easy to get on and off. To finish, the innovative outsole delivers increased flexibility with the green rubber and BRS 1000.
Useful info:
- Mens running shoes by Nike
- Flyknit Lunar 2
- Lightweight construction
- Flywire for secure midfoot fit
- Lightweight lunarlon cushioning
- Swoosh to side
- Woven tab to tongue

Amssalu Bezabeh carried out this research for his PhD thesis at Holeta Bee Research Centre. Here we provide a summary of his findings. A full paper has been submitted to the Journal Apiacta.
Africa is thought to be the origin of Apis mellifera, the honey bee species that occurs in Africa, Europe and the Middle East. A review of Apis mellifera reported the presence of 22 honey bee races and 10 valid geographical races in Africa (Engel, 1999). The taxonomy, biology, behaviour and distribution of African races of honey bees have been little studied compared with European races.
Knowledge of the taxonomy of Ethiopian honey bees is minimal. No detailed morphometric analyses have been conducted apart from those of Smith (1961), Ruttner (1975), Kassaye (1990) and Radloff & Hepburn (1997a). These studies indicate the presence of different African races including Apis mellifera adansonii, A m bandasii, A m jemenitica, A m litorea, A m monticola, A m scutellata, and A m sudanensis, but the results are not in accord. Besides, none of the results indicated the distribution, behaviour and biology of honey bees within Ethiopia.
Some of the studies did not use adequate sample sizes during the analysis. To resolve the ambiguity of information about Ethiopian honey bee races and to establish greater knowledge of them, a more detailed study, geographically broader in scope, and with a finer sampling distance resolution (100 km) was conducted. Accordingly, five statistically distinct morpho-clusters occupying different agro-ecologies were identified: Apis mellifera bandasii, A m jemenitica, A m monticola, A m scutellata and A m Woyi-Gambella (Amssalu et al, 2004; Amssalu, 2003; Nuru, 2003).
A m Woyi-Gambella differs from all other African honey bee groups and is endemic to Ethiopia.

Creating a world-class school system for England Current
This programme of work will create a blue-print of school reform for our times – setting out what it would take to make England's schools truly 'world class'.
Politicians from all parties are committed to making England's schools 'the best in the world'. The Secretary of State for Education has argued that it is not enough to settle for improving standards over time – but that we also need to improve standards in comparison to our competitor countries. This builds on the previous government's aim to see English teenagers rise into the top three in science and top five in maths out of all OECD countries.
While these are important aims in an increasingly globalised and competitive world, achieving them will be a big challenge. Despite considerable investment and reform in schools, England has been slipping down the international 'PISA' rankings since 2000.
There is a growing body of evidence on what drives school systems to improve in relation to other countries. While these studies identify common features of the top-performing school systems, they do not provide a route map for how specific countries can achieve them. They acknowledge that while the best school systems all have common aims, such as improving the quality of teachers, 'each top-performing country achieves this in its own way' (McKinsey 2010).
Reforms from other countries therefore cannot be copied in a piecemeal and uncritical fashion. There is a need to identify how the lessons learnt from research into global best practice can be applied in the English context. Lessons from abroad will have to sit with challenges that are specific to the English schools system, fit with current government reforms and be workable in a time of reduced spending.
Project detail
The objective of the programme is to identify how lessons learnt about the world's top-performing systems can best be applied in the English context. The programme will:
- Identify which lessons from overseas are most appropriate for the English school system.
- Identify and stress-test which policies can be introduced in England in a time of constrained public spending and ongoing reforms of the education system, and how they fit together to create an overarching framework for reform.
- Disseminate findings through IPPR's extensive networks in government, media and key education stakeholders.
The programme of work will focus on three substantive areas: the schools workforce, the curriculum, and systems to drive improvement.

There's no difference in buying a large beer vs a small beer at a game
Sometimes when you go a stadium to watch a game or an arena to watch a concert, you'll have the option of buying an overpriced large beer or a slightly less overpriced small beer. Go small to save a few dollars because the small cup holds just as much beer as the large cup. More beer for your buck!

Height: 5'9" Weight: 190 Age: 27 Experience: 5th season College: Clemson Drafted: 2010 R4 P10, Raiders
Posted: 8/20/2013 6:09pm et
Oakland Raiders WR Jacoby Ford (knee) was participating in practice Tuesday, Aug. 20, for the second straight day.
Huddle Up: The Raiders are eager for the return of Ford's big-play ability -- 17 yards per catch on 44 career receptions and 4 career kick-return TDs -- with the wideout having missed all of 2012. At this time though, he only has fantasy value in deeper leagues.
Posted: 7/29/2013 10:18am et
Oakland Raiders WR Jacoby Ford suffered an unspecified injury during practice Sunday, July 28 and had to leave. No further details were available about Ford's status.
Huddle Up: It's a common refrain for the oft-injured Ford. We'll see if/when he gets back on the field and what that means in his battle with Denarius Moore and Rod Streater for spots in the Oakland passing game.
Posted: 6/3/2013 11:32pm et
Oakland Raiders WR Jacoby Ford did not participate in organized team activities Monday, June 3. Ford injured his hamstring during practice last week.
Huddle Up: There's pretty much a template for Jacoby Ford news, kind of like a Mad Libs. "Jacoby Ford missed (insert event) with a (insert body part) injury". And while it would be fun to go with something like "Jacoby Ford missed Spring Break 1997 with a pinkie toe injury", if he's still missing time in training camp it won't be nearly as funny. But for now, "Jacoby Ford missed a Wham! concert with a lower lip injury" still has its charm. Go ahead, give it a try!
Posted: 5/30/2013 11:45pm et
The Oakland Raiders likely will give WR Jacoby Ford a chance to contribute on offense this season if his foot injury has healed. The team could consider releasing him if he continues to struggle with the foot injury.
Huddle Up: The Raiders love Ford's speed and kick-return abilities, but it's hard to outrun anyone on crutches or wearing a walking boot. Foot fractures sidelined the WR for all of 2012 and half of the 2011 season, and he's going to have to show he's healthy in training camp, if not sooner.
Posted: 4/19/2013 1:31am et
Oakland Raiders WR Jacoby Ford said he is completely recovered from his foot injury and will be ready to participate once the team's minicamp begins.
Huddle Up: Foot fractures nixed Ford's 2012 season and all but 8 games of his 2011 campaign, leaving the wideout/return specialist with a lot of ground to make up.
Posted: 4/12/2013 2:17pm et
Oakland Raiders WR Jacoby Ford had his DUI charges dropped stemming from his March 14 arrest.
Huddle Up: Just because the charges have been dropped doesn't mean Ford won't get a stern talking-to from the Commissioner, but lack of charges does suggest there won't be a corresponding suspension. So you'll just have to wait for Ford's inevitable injury to remove him from fantasy consideration.

I made a baby quilt last week using sailboat quilt blocks which inspired me to make something else with a sailboat block. I decided to alter a pattern from the book, Thread & Bobbin, to make a beach tote.
I used denim and cotton canvas.
The tote has a large inner pocket and the size of the bag can be adjusted using the ties on the sides. It fastens with a magnetic snap.

The Whipple procedure (pancreatoduodenectomy) is the most common operation to remove pancreatic cancers. The Whipple procedure may also be used to treat some benign pancreatic lesions and cysts and cancers in the bile duct and beginning part of the small intestine (duodenum).
Read more about pancreatic cancer.
The goal of the Whipple procedure (pancreatoduodenectomy) is to remove the head of the pancreas, where most tumors occur. Because the pancreas is so integrated with other organs, the surgeon must also remove the first part of small intestine (duodenum), the gallbladder, the end of the common bile duct and sometimes a portion of the stomach. In the reconstruction phase of the operation, the intestine, bile duct and remaining portion of the pancreas are reconnected.
The Whipple procedure is a difficult and demanding operation for both the person undergoing surgery and the surgeon.
A laparoscopic Whipple procedure may be offered to select individuals. The laparoscopic Whipple procedure is performed through six small incisions in the abdominal wall. A laparoscope, a long thin tube with a lighted camera at its tip, is inserted through one incision. The surgeon operates using specially designed surgical instruments placed through the remaining incisions, guided by the laparoscope images shown on a monitor in the operating room.
At Mayo Clinic, laparoscopic Whipple surgery usually takes four to five hours. Most people leave the hospital in four to six days, compared with eight to 10 days for those who have conventional surgery. One month after a laparoscopic Whipple procedure, most people are able to eat normally, and many can return to work and normal activities.
Mayo Clinic researchers are evaluating the laparoscopic approach to see if the benefits found in other minimally invasive surgeries — less blood loss, shorter hospital stays and faster recovery — also apply in laparoscopic Whipple surgery.
The most common post-surgical complication of pancreatoduodenectomy is leaking of pancreatic juices from the incision. If this occurs, a drain may be inserted through the skin to allow drainage for several weeks after surgery. Weight loss is another frequent complication of the Whipple procedure. Diabetes is a potentially serious concern for some people (a minority) after surgery. In general, although many people do very well after the Whipple procedure, some develop immediate complications that affect their quality of life.
To help ensure an uncomplicated recovery, Mayo Clinic specialists provide nutrition counseling and ongoing supportive care.

Sure this $50 cover looks awful and they couldn't even manage to speel "calendar" correctly, but that's a small price to pay for rocking bedding even more effective than a "NO GURLS ALLOWD" sign on your bedroom door. Ha, girls -- in your house! ROFL.

iPod Bedding: Totally Geeky or Geek Chic? [geeksugar]
Thanks to Sally and twellve, who stitched real iPods together to make a blanket and then gave it away in a raffle for a good cause.
The Zip Bed is a bed designed with zip-up covers. Why? I have no idea. I assume it has something to do with bed bugs. Italian furniture design company Florida has created the perfect bed for those mornings when you just want to grab a coffee and run out the door. All that y... / Continue →

MAC TV GAME OF THE WEEK: Akron travels to Miami on Saturday for the league's television game of the week. Jason Toy (play-by-play) and Debbie Leonard (analyst) will call the action from Millett Hall for the 2 p.m., which can be seen live on Fox Sports Net Ohio.
KENT-TOLEDO PART OF RECORD: The Kent-Toledo game on Saturday at Gund Arena in Cleveland, part of a tripleheader of the Women's College Basketball Classic, helped set a new Mid-American Conference record for attendance in a game with 12,879. The game, which preceded Tennessee-North Carolina State broke the old mark of 9,203 set in 1996 between the Golden Flashes and Penn State.
THAT'S THE TICKET: Tickets for the 2000 Mid-American Conference Women's Basketball Tournament March 2-4 at Public Hall are now on sale and can be purchased by contacting Ticketmaster at (216) 241-2121. Prices for an all-session ticket (good for all seven games) are $30 for adults and $20 for students 18 and under and for seniors 55 and older for reserved seats, while general admission seats are $25 for adults and $15 for students/seniors. Single session tickets begin at $5 for general admission and $6 for reserved seats. To purchase tickets for a specific school section, please contact that institution's ticket office.
THE NON-CONFERENCE LOOK: After the first 11 weeks of the season, the Mid-American Conference has posted a 62-74 non-conference record, which translates into a .456 winning percentage. That mark also includes a 1-8 record against nationally-ranked opponents. Last year, the MAC's record in non-conference play was 59-66 (.472). Western Michigan faces Florida on Tuesday in the league's final non-conference game of the regular season.
A LOOK AT THE RPI: In the weekly installment of the College Basketball News Women's RPI Report (through games of Jan. 30), the Mid-American Conference was ranked No. 17 among the 31 Division I conferences and is also ranked No. 16 according to the Women's Basketball Coaches Association. The MAC had three schools in the top-125 -- Kent (No. 36), Western Michigan (No. 89) and Buffalo (No. 112) -- and eight of the 13 schools in the top 200 of the RPI Report.
LINDSAY WINS 200TH: Kent head coach Bob Lindsay picked up his 200th win in his career on Monday, a 85-74 over nationally-ranked Virginia. Lindsay, who is in his 11th year at Kent, became the first women's coach to reach the mark and the fourth overall in league history.
NEW MEMBER TO THE CLUB: Central Michigan senior Shelly Woods last Wednesday became the school's 13th player to reach the exclusive 1,000 point club when she scored eight points against Northern Illinois. Woods, who is the second MAC player to reach the plateau this year, ranks fourth among active MAC players with 1,030 points.
BOMBS AWAY IN FALCON LAND: Two weekends ago, Miami tied a league record when it drilled 16 three-pointers against Bowling Green, and last week the Falcons equaled the RedHawks' mark versus the Zips. Ironically, the Falcons didn't make a three-pointer in the final 9:37 of the contest. BG, which leads the MAC and the nation in three-pointers made, increased its per game average to 9.05 treys made following its performance against Akron. The NCAA record is 9.2, set by South Carolina in 1994. Bowling Green has been involved in the three highest three-point totals in Division I this year.
HOME STREAK IS ON THE LINE: Kent currently has three different streaks going at the present time -- a 27 game-home winning streak, 18 straight league wins and a 12-game overall winning streak. All three streaks are on the line this week as the Golden Flashes travel to Miami on Wednesday and hosts Marshall Saturday. The home streak is presently the second-longest active one in Division I, trailing Grambling's 61 straight.
SMILING THREE TIMES OVER: Eastern Michigan's Stephanie Smiley turned the league's first triple-double of the year last Wednesday against Ohio. It was also the school's first-ever by a women's player. The sophomore had 11 points, 14 rebounds and 12 assists versus the Bobcats. Smiley nearly pulled off another triple-double against Central Michigan when she had 13 points, eight boards and seven assists.
HAMILTON AND THE 700 CLUB: Miami senior AuBree Hamilton became the third player in school history to amass 700 rebounds in her career during the RedHawks' game with Bowling Green on Jan. 22. This past Saturday versus Buffalo, Hamilton passed the 700 mark, this time in points.
IT'S BEEN A WHILE FOR NIU: Northern Illinois' 73-63 win over Central Michigan last Wednesday marked the first time NIU defeated the Chippewas in DeKalb since Feb. 23, 1985. Senior Charbea Haller paced the Huskies with 18 points. To put things into perspective, Haller was in first grade when that last win occurred while CMU head coach Fran Voll was in his first year at Bowling Green.
STRONG OFF THE BENCH FOR UT: As Toledo's first person off the bench, junior Kahli Carter is the Rockets' leading scorer in MAC games at 12.6 ppg. Carter has scored in double figures in seven of eight conference contests. She is also tied for 12th in league games in rebounds per game (7.0). oKENT'S DOMINANCE OF LATE:
Kent has won 18 consecutive regular-season games against MAC opponents entering its game against Miami on Wednesday. The last time the Golden Flashes lost a regular-season contest to a league opponent was Jan. 16, 1999, when Kent fell 67-62 at Akron. Since the start of the 1997-98 season, Kent is 43-3 (.935).
UT'S STREAK PUT TO THE TEST: Toledo's 18-game MAC homecourt winning streak will be put to the test with upcoming home games against Ball State (Feb. 5) and Western Michigan (Feb. 9). The Rockets will need to win those contests to keep pace in the West Division, as the two teams are presently in front of the Rockets in the standings. Toledo has a 66-9 (.880) mark in their last 75 games at Savage Hall.
SHOOTING WOES PLAGUE HERD: Marshall's recent 1-8 slide can't be attributed to a lack of rebounding but to poor shooting. The Thundering Herd has out-rebounded their last nine opponents by a total of 28 boards, including a 17-rebound advantage in a loss to Eastern Michigan. Shooting woes have hurt the Herd. Marshall is hitting 35.2-percent (179-509) over its last nine games. The Herd's highest percentage over that span was a 39.1-percent (18-46) outing versus Northern Illinois.
WMU PASSES TEST IN MUNCIE: In a battle of two of the top three teams in the West Division, Western Michigan overcame an 18-point deficit to defeat Ball State on the road, 75-72. Danielle Mueller led all scorers with 20 points, while Shelsea Erving and Kristin Koetsier combined for 28 points and 22 rebounds. In addition, Brooke and Brianne Gallert each passed out 11 assists.
TOUGH HALF DOOMS OHIO: Ohio trailed Eastern Michigan 40-14 at the half a week ago Wednesday, the Bobcats' biggest halftime deficit this season. The team, which outscored the Eagles 53-43 in the second half, made only six field goals in the opening stanza and was 0-12 from beyond the arc. Cathy Szall (12.3 ppg) was held scoreless for the first time this season, and only the second time in her two-year career. She was 0-6 from the field in the game, all from 3-point range.
A MULTIDIMENSIONAL PLAYER: Akron senior Abby Hoy is perhaps a good definition of what an all-around player is, if one looks at her statistics. Hoy, who scored a season-high 21 points in the team's loss to Bowling Green, is 41 points short of 1,000 for her carer. She is also the league's active assist producer (413), is fourth in three-point field goals (105) and is sixth in rebounds (508).
STAYING ON THE POSITIVE: With eight regular season games remaining, Miami has already matched its win total from a year ago (11), and the RedHawks are one win from the 12 produced during the 1997-98 campaign. The last time Miami enjoyed a winning season was in the 1996-97 season, when it finished 19-10.
MASKA TIES FOR TOP SPOT: Though only a junior, Eastern Michigan's Kristy Maska moved into a tie for first-place all-time for the most three-pointers made with 113. Maska, who nailed five treys against Central Michigan last Saturday and a game-high 25 points, is also 18th in career scoring with 734 points.
ROZAK KEYS CMU WIN: Central Michigan sophomore Alicia Rozak continues to be an offensive spark for the Chippewas. She scored the last five points of the game in CMU's 69-67 close win over rival Eastern Michigan. She sank two free throws with 1.9 second left on the clock giving CMU the two-point advantage. Rozak had 15 points in the game, along with seven rebounds, three steals, three assists and two blocks. She has scored in double figures in seven straight games and is averaging 10.8 points per game on the season.

Death Risks High in Younger People With DiabetesPosted: Wednesday, May 24, 2006People with Type 2 diabetes aged between 35 and 54 are over three times more likely to die than those without the condition. For people aged from 85 to 89, the increased risk of death for those with diabetes is over 50 per cent. The research on 44,230 people with Type 2 diabetes also found that women with diabetes were more than twice as likely to die as their peers without the condition. For men, the increased risk of those with diabetes is 77 per cent. The study also confirmed that lifestyle factors such as smoking and being obese increased the risk of death. Douglas Smallwood, Chief Executive at Diabetes UK said, "These results are shocking but people with diabetes have to be made aware of the seriousness of the condition. Diabetes deaths are predicted to rise by 25 per cent over the next decade. However, the risk of complications leading to death can be reduced if people with diabetes get the care they need to manage their condition. There is no reason why people with diabetes cannot live long and healthy lives." Ms Henrietta Mulnier, a member of the team at the Postgraduate Medical School at the University of Surrey responsible for the research, said, "The risk estimates from this study highlight the need for effective treatment and early detection of Type 2 diabetes, particularly in the young and in women." It is estimated that around 33,000 deaths a year are caused by diabetes in the UK. By 2015, there could be as many as 8,000 more diabetes related deaths.

Latest News
Dec. 8, 2006
Dr. Jane Hey, professor and chair of biology and chemistry at Morningside College, presented the poster "Comparing Anuran Assemblages of Wetlands in the Historic Floodplain of the Lower Missouri River in Iowa" at the 67th Midwest Fish and Wildlife Conference held Dec. 3-6, in Omaha, Neb.
The poster presentation included research conducted from 1994 to 2006 by Hey and Eugenia Farrar, associate professor of ecology, evolution, and organismal biology at Iowa State University (ISU) in Ames, along with students from Morningside and ISU. The research looked at changes in aquatic habitat, specifically amphibians, in wetlands located along the lower Missouri River floodplain including the Owego Wetlands Complex, a 1,300 acre restored wetland ecosystem located three miles northwest of Hornick, Iowa. According to the research, channeling of the Missouri River has resulted in significant loss of wetland habitat and the restored Owego Wetland Complex contained the greatest species diversity of the wetlands surveyed .
Hey joined the faculty at Morningside in 1979. She received her bachelor's degree in biology from Monmouth College in Ill., a master's degree in preventive medicine and environmental health from the University of Iowa at Iowa City, and a doctorate in zoology and genetics from Iowa State University in Ames.

When Brecknock Consulting were engaged in 2009 to develop a public art strategy for the City of Norwood Payneham & St Peters, my team and I were impressed by the history, diversity, outstanding sense of place and creative nature of the community. However we also started to ask ourselves questions about the ways cities and communities enter into a dialogue regarding contemporary questions about the urban condition and creative communities. We wondered if it is enough to enhance the urban environment with quality contemporary art or indeed can the art become a conversational process through which we can be "Thinking Through The City". To their great credit Council endorsed our concept and approved the strategy and its implementation, we now look forward to seeing how the community enters into the urban dialogue and how over time it will evolve and take shape across the city. Cities can be thought of as an ever changing stage set upon which our lives are played out, at times we become a lead player and at other times a mere bit player or supporting actor in what seems like a fast moving and improvised melodrama. So let's use the city to explore the urban condition, our sense of belonging and our individual and communal fears and aspirations.

Cool, calm Nola leads LSU

Coaching scoop
BATON ROUGE, La. -- Murphy's Law hit LSU right between the eyes, then normalcy returned.
That's precisely, and perhaps the only way you can describe LSU's wild come from behind 8-5 win over gutsy Sam Houston State Saturday night in front of 10,752 fans at Alex Box Stadium, an LSU attendance record.

College Baseball Ticket
Everything that could go wrong in the first inning against the Bearkats went wrong. LSU sent sophomore right-handed pitcher Aaron Nola to the mound. Nola hadn't allowed more than two runs in a game since March 15 against Mississippi State, so the Tigers felt very good about their chances, and rightfully so.
The first inning played out like a horror movie for Mainieri, the LSU infield and Nola. The usually extremely reliable LSU infield booted the ball around in the first, as sure-handed Christian Ibarra began the game with an error. Then an error on shortstop Alex Bregman two batters later, leading to a run, and yet another costly second error by Ibarra leading to a run.
In addition to the LSU defense scuffling in the first, Nola wasn't ultra sharp in the frame, partly him, partly home plate umpire Billy Van Raaphorst, who had an incredibly tight strike zone throughout the contest. Van Raaphorst made Nola and SHSU starting pitcher Caleb Smith stay in a tight window early in the game, aiding SHSU's early onslaught.
By the time the damage was all done in the first inning, the Bearkats scored five runs on three hits, and even left two more runners on base, likely scoring more if LSU center fielder Andrew Stevenson doesn't make a sensational catch to rob leadoff hitter Jessie Plumlee to end the frame. Aaron Nola's pitch count was 42 after the first inning.
"That was the longest first inning I've ever experienced," LSU starting pitcher Aaron Nola said. "I just went back to Mississippi State last year. I gave up five runs in that game in the first inning, then put up six zeroes after that. I kind of thought about that, and though the umpire's zone was kind of tight, I overcame it."
Bouncing back in the second inning against the Bearkats suddenly became a challenging obstacle for the Tigers. The LSU crowd was angry, letting the home plate umpire have it between innings with a chorus of boos, and perhaps a few four-letter words. But as the Tigers came off the field after the first, Mainieri got his team together and explained that with Nola on the mound, don't worry, everything was going to be all right.
And it was.
"At that point, I was thinking what a nightmare, [Aaron] you have to get us through five innings," Mainieri said about Nola. "That was a very courageous performance by Nola."
Though Nola had the shaky first inning against the Bearkats, his offense chipped away at Sam Houston State left-handed starting pitcher Caleb Smith, ousting him after 2 2/3 innings, while they also rose to the occasion late in the game against the SHSU bullpen.
Meanwhile, Nola settled in after the first and had a fantastic start. He put together a 1-2-3 second inning, while setting the tone for the rest of his start with a strong third inning that included a trio of strikeouts after a leadoff double for the Bearkats.
"They did a really nice job against Aaron, and you just have to adjust to whatever circumstances you have. The strike zone tonight wasn't liberal, so you had to throw it over the plate. I thought he became a bit more aggressive earlier in counts as the game progressed," Mainieri said. "We've seen Aaron do this before, though."
Considering Nola was at 42 pitches after the first inning, the rest of his performance was efficient. The talented right-hander struck out six batters, walked three and allowed five runs -- none earned -- on six hits in seven innings of work. Nola finished the night with 111 pitches, 70 for strikes, and likely would've come back out for the eighth inning had the Tigers not opted to go with left-handed closer Chris Cotton with a three-run advantage.
"Early on, he really pounded the strike zone, but we did a nice job of laying off some breaking balls," Sam Houston State coach David Pierce said. "I thought we fought hard, he's really something. He just kept coming at us, he had great velocity, and he was more curveball/fastball than he was changeup. He looked good."
With the Tigers holding an 8-5 advantage with six outs to get, Chris Cotton did his thing out of the bullpen. The outstanding left-handed pitcher had filthy stuff as usual and struck out three batters in the final two frames. With his 16th save of the season, Cotton enjoys a new place in the LSU history book, now tied with Matty Ott for the all-time single-season saves lead. Chances are good Cotton will hold that record by himself before the weekend is over.
Everything went wrong for the Tigers for much of the night, causing plenty of tense moments throughout the contest, which lasted three hours, 44 minutes.
Now, all is right in Baton Rouge. The Tigers, and Nola, conquered Murphy's Law and now aim for yet another NCAA Regional Championship on Sunday.

Yields about 2 dozen cookies
Position a rack in the upper third of the oven and heat the oven to 350°F. Line two rimmed baking sheets with parchment. In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the sugar, butter, shortening, and salt on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 1 minute. Scrape down the sides of the bowl. Add the egg, corn syrup, vanilla, and almond extract (if using) and mix on low speed ( just to combine); then beat at medium speed for a total of 1 minute. In a medium bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder, and baking soda to combine; then add to the mixer. Mix on low speed for 30 seconds, just to combine. Scrape down the bowl and then mix on medium-low speed for another 30 seconds to mix the dough uniformly. Gently roll the dough into 1-oz. balls (about 1 heaping Tbs. each). Roll the balls in sanding sugar (if using). Arrange at least 21/4 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets. Bake one sheet at a time until the edges are golden and the tops are cracked but not completely set, 13 to 15 minutes. Let the cookies cool on the sheet for at least 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

by beatamack, 8/14/2012I have made these a few times, and they are absolutely delicious!! I prefer the chewy version, and not the crispy crunchy one. They're really easy to make. These cookies are great. I will continue making them!
by swpotts, 9/9/2011I did not like these! I made one change - I didn't have crisco - and maybe that made the difference, but I thought these were too sweet and not pretty enough to serve to guests. My husband loves cookies but I know these won't tempt him...
by Christene, 5/17/2011I made these for a fundraiser and they are amazing! They melt in your mouth. I've been making these and the Crunchy Sugar Cookies (also here on Fine Cooking) and can't decide which I like better; both are fantastic! I reserved a small plate for my husband and kids and they are getting rave reviews. I told the 10 year old that they were going to be sold at a bake sale and he asked if he could buy them! =) I have to agree with him that these may be the best cookies I've ever made.
by panettone, 2/19/2011These were easy and good. I did not roll them in sugar before baking and they were plenty sweet, In fact next time I would probably use 3/4 c. sugar and not add the extra 2 tablespoons.
by lbulman, 2/2/2011Yum Yum! These cookies are great. They flattened out nicely and were super chewy. I can't eat eggs so I substituted the one egg with ground flax (1TBsp ground flax and 3TBsp water) and added more almond (1tsp). I also used brown sugar instead of white and spelt flour. I skipped the vegetable shortening and just used all butter. The dough was too wet to roll so I just spooned it out onto the cookie sheet. Will definitely use this recipe again and next time will turn it into a chocolate chip cookie!
by eandmmom, 1/22/2011I also spied this and made them right away. I added a little more almond extract than the recipe called for and loved the end result. Simply delicious. These are a winner.
by CotoCooker, 1/4/2011I have tried dozens of sugar cookie recipes over the years, none of which were up to par (according to my four little kids). They were tasteless, they were hard, they were flat, they were just wrong wrong wrong. When I spied this recipe tonight and told the kids about it, they begged me to make the cookies right away! So, at 9:00 pm on a school night I just finished baking the first batch. And we have a winner for sure! Soft, chewy, delicious. Absolutely perfect (and incredibly easy). My kids and I thank you!

From staff reports
MANCHESTER, N.H. - A sacrifice fly in the bottom of the ninth inning off Will Latimer lifted the New Hampshire Fisher Cats to a 5-4 win over the Portland Sea Dogs Wednesday night at Northeast Delta Dental Stadium.
WHO: Portland Sea Dogs (Brandon Workman 4-1) at New Hampshire Fisher Cats (Ryan Tepera 4-2)
WHEN: 7:05 p.m.
Trailing 4-1, Portland rallied with three runs in the top of the ninth inning. Michael Almanzar led off with a double, advanced to third on walks by Shannon Wilkerson and Christian Vazquez and scored on a wild pitch. Peter Hissey's two-run single then tied the game.
The Fisher Cats had just four hits in the game, two each by Ricardo Nanita and John Tolisano, but took advantage of 14 walks by Portland.
Charlie Haeger started for the Sea Dogs and gave up two runs on two hits and seven walks. He fanned four in his five innings.
Haeger was relieved by Daniel Bard, who walked five of his eight batters while giving up two runs and one hit in one-plus inning.
Latimer relieved Bard with runners on first and second and nobody out in the bottom of the seventh. He struck out the first batter and followed that with a double play to keep the New Hampshire lead at 4-1.

Aaaaaaand now Ian McKellen (Gandalf) and Stephen Fry (Master of Laketown) have stepped forward and agreed to pay the fees to keep the pub the way it is. *makes plans to buy tickets to one movie and then sneak into the new Hobbit one instead just to spite the company*
McKellen described the company's actions as "unnecessary pettiness," while Fry called them "self-defeating bullying."
According to the owner of The Hobbit, "They've said as soon as they finish filming they would like to come down and visit the pub."
Yay for happy endings! But seriously, I hate big companies throwing their weight around like that. Couldn't you just have gotten them to sign a contract agreeing to not start wholesaling Hobbit Brew or sell t-shirts with screencaps from the movie printed on them? Like, I don't know, THE ONES I JUST GOT MADE. Etsy store going live in 10-minutes folks -- get 'em while they're hot.

Thanks to Christina "It's one of my locals and an awesome place!" and Bedlam "was one of my old drinking haunts at uni (college), f***ing terrible if the place goes, its been there for 20 years and where else would i get to sip on a Tom Bombidil cocktail?" Bert, who should both buy me a drink when I come to visit.
Because it was only a matter of time with all the Middle Earth mania sweeping the country, New Zealand has just opened a Hobbit themed Green Dragon pub near Matamata. I bet it'll be successful. Hell, I'd drink there. "And get kicked out." That's what you think! 86 me, I da... / Continue →
I have no clue if this is actually the first underwater bar. I could probably do a Google search to find out, but you can't even believe anything you read on the internet anymore so it would just be a waste of time. To cover my dimply ass I'll just say this: Subsix is ALLEGED... / Continue →
This is a commercial for waterproof watches that envisions an underwater bar where everybody wears diving helmets and carries around drinks with super-long straws so they can snake them up to their lips. What fun! Just kidding, what watered-down drinks. Get it? WATERED down... / Continue →

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (Oct. 2, 2007) -- The Acton Institute will honor former Estonian prime minister, Dr. Mart Laar, with the Faith & Freedom Award at the institute's annual dinner in Grand Rapids on Oct. 24.
At age 32, Dr. Laar became prime minister of Estonia in 1992, a country economically and politically devastated by Communism. A two-term prime minister, Dr. Laarís leadership, integrity, and ingenuity radically transformed Estonia, helping the country become one of the worldís most dynamic economies. With his free-market reforms, Estonia and its people flourished, experiencing a 7 percent annual rate of growth and 90 percent of all enterprises being returned to private hands. Estonia is now ranked 12th out of 165 countries in the Economic Freedom of the World index.
Dr. Laar is also a distinguished historian, and the author of War in the Woods, in which he documents Estonian resistance to Soviet occupation after World War II. Dr. Laar has received numerous awards in recognition of his accomplishments, most recently, the Milton Friedman Prize for Advancing Liberty. Dr. Laar has written for the Wall Street Journal and has been featured in articles from The Economist, The Washington Times, and Business Week.
At the dinner, Dr. Laar will discuss the transition of Estonia from the status of an impoverished former republic of the Soviet Union to a nation now ranked among those enjoying the highest degrees of economic liberty in the world.
In Laarís view, the task of government is to empower people and to give them their liberty. "When you live in a society where liberty doesnít exist, then you know how valuable it is," he said.
Dr. Laar often refers to the role played by his Christian faith in providing him with a moral compass and giving him the courage to make difficult but necessary economic decisions.
Other recipients of Acton's Faith & Freedom Award include business pioneer and philanthropist John Marks Templeton; Cardinal Francis Xavier Nguyen Van Thuan, the former archbishop of Saigon, Vietnam; Rocco Buttiglione, Italy's Minister of European Affairs and an academic philosopher; and Charles W. "Chuck" Colson, bestselling author and founder of Prison Fellowship Ministries.
Tickets are still available for the Acton annual dinner at the new J.W. Marriott hotel in Grand Rapids. To register online, please visit: /dinner/.

text: Latest Post: Started By: Rank: Category Did Ohio U.S. Senate wannabe Josh Mandel show his true colors today (10/25/12) when he called Indiana U.S. Senate candidate Richard Mourdock a "class-act"?For twenty-four hours, Josh Mandel dodged questions about Indiana U.S. Senate candidate Richard Mourdock's statement that a child conceived by rape should be accepted because it is "God's intention". Today (10/25) Mandel went on a rightwing radio talk show and called Richard Mourdock a "class act" whom he supports. Mandel falsely said that Mourdock "apologized" for his remark - he DIDN'T! ... This is proof positive that Mandel and MANY other rightwing Republicans are on the same page regarding women's reproductive rights as nutjobs like Todd Akin, Joe Walsh, and Richard Mourdock!!! ... And what is the record of Mandel's opponent, Senator Sherrod Brown? He has been a consistent supporter of women's reproductive and workplace rights - AND he's married to Connie Schultz! For Ohio women, the CHOICE is clear! Member CommentsNo comments posted for this topic. Post a Comment |
