Framingham, Mass. - Nicole Bostick made a pair of free throws with 30 seconds left in overtime to lift Framingham State to a 76-75 win over the Coast Guard Academy in a nonleague women's basketball game Monday night.
Meghan Fornaro led Coast Guard with 21 points and seven rebounds, Karli Collins had 18 points and 20 rebounds and Jamie Waterman scored 10 points for the Bears (2-2).
In another game:
• Connecticut College lost to Western Connecticut State in a nonleague game, 54-38. Sophomore Carlee Smith led Conn (1-3) with eight points and teammate Tara Gabelman had 10 rebounds.
Mitchell players honored
• A pair of Mitchell College men's basketball players earned recognition from the New England Collegiate Conference. Junior forward Joshua Ford was named NECC Player of the Week for the second week in a row, and freshman forward Devonta Mosley was named NECC Rookie of the Week. They helped the Mariners to an 88-71 victory over Coast Guard on Nov. 20, the program's first win over its in-city rival.
Ford scored a game-high 24 points, had a team-high nine rebounds, three assists and two steals. Mosley scored all 11 of his points in the first half. He also added four rebounds and an assist in only 16 minutes.

Authors Discuss Aging 'Blue Garter Friends'
Join the co-authors of "Amazing Attributes of Aging; Silly and Sacred Stories of Blue Garter Friends" at Anne Arundel Community College on Thursday, March 4, as they discuss the creative process, aging and the 36 women's lives they chronicled for their book.
The college Department of Health and Human Services is sponsoring the free literary discussion and book signing with authors Judy Appel and Mary Huntley from 9-10:30 a.m. The event "Friendships to Remember: A Lesson on the Importance of Friendship in the Aging Process" takes place in connection with the college's Aging Studies curricula and celebration of March as Women's History Month.
Hear how the 36 women grew up in a small community in Minnesota and created a lifelong bond through the symbolism of a blue garter. After graduating from high school in 1958, most of the women left the community for careers and homes around the United States. Some married and raised families. From the original group, 27 now living in 13 states remain in close contact with each other. They have reunited annually during the more than 50 years of their friendship.
Appel and Huntley are members of the Blue Garter group. The two met in Sunday School, traveled together between their sophomore and junior years in college and eventually married men who were community college classmates. Now retired from professional academic careers, they celebrate the opportunity to continue to gather with Blue Garter friends as all experience the changes that aging brings to their lives.
The duo will sign copies of the book, which is available for purchase, after the event in the Florestano Building Room 101 on the Arnold campus, 101 College Parkway. For event information, contact Elizabeth Appel, AACC department chair of health and human services, at 410-777-7224 or firstname.lastname@example.com. For information on AACC aging courses visit www.aacc.edu/aging. Call Disability Support Services, 410-777-2306 or Maryland Relay 711, 72 hours in advance to request most accommodations.

Imagine if the stars really did realign themselves and Webber returned to the bay. Is he the veteren the Dubs need? Would a marriage actually work? I am not knowledgable enough of basketball to know these answers. But we had a chance for a Championship when Chris was last here. We have never had a chance since. Could a reunion be just what the Dr. ordered? i would love to see it. Minimal expense, possibly big return.

Word on the street says Golden State Warriors coach Don Nelson has been seen at Chris Webber's Natomas restaurant, Center Court with C-Webb, twice recently. That only could mean Webber and Nelson are considering the completion of the ultimate full circle and a Webber return to Golden State.
They beefed big-time 14 years ago while both were with the Warriors, but perhaps it is true that time heals all wounds, even gashes.
Stay tuned. With agent Aaron Goodwin representing Gary Payton as well as Webber, could the former Skyline High School (Oakland) guard be far behind? Baron Davis, one of the league's best point guards, needs rest, and Payton surely could fill that backup role. "http://www.sacbee.com/100/story/657920.html

Wright sets new target after reaching Oxford United century
10:40am Friday 23rd March 2012 in Oxford Utd By David Pritchard, Chief Sports Reporter covering Oxford United. Follow us on twitter: @oxfordmailoufc. Call me on 01865 425458
JAKE Wright reached a milestone on Tuesday night with his 100th Oxford United start and the captain immediately set himself the goal of making another century.
The 26-year-old only joined the U's on loan from Brighton in January 2010, but has been a virtual ever-present in the line-up since.
Of the existing squad just Ryan Clarke, James Constable and Damian Batt have accumulated more starts for United.
Players are often indifferent about such records, but it was significant for Wright, who had been aware of the mark for several weeks.
He said: "I kept it quiet, but it's a nice thing for me to get it.
"It's the first time I've got 100 games for a club, hopefully I can keep going and obviously get another 100."
The U's helped kick-start Wright's career after falling down the pecking order shortly after joining Brighton & Hove Albion.
An injury and a managerial change saw the centre back make just six starts for the Seagulls.
The unsettled spell means Wright has been grateful for the opportunity to make an impact.
"I went to Brighton and it didn't really work out, the gaffer brought me here and there's a great set of lads, we've got a really good team spirit so it's a brilliant club to be at," he said.
"When I heard Oxford were interested I jumped at the chance, they were second in the Conference at the time and I knew there was a chance of playing at Wembley.
"It worked out perfectly and I made the right decision.
"There's been no looking back, I just want to keep playing for Oxford and climb the leagues with them.
"We've got nine games left and if we play well I'm sure we'll be near the top.
"I'm really settled, my family's down here, my little boy's at school and likes it, so they've made me feel really welcome."

HBO Targets Cheney With Miniseries Based on PBS 'Dark Side' Show
With a movie based on the gossipy, mostly unsourced, pro-Obama, Palin-savaging "Game Change" already casting and likely timed to boost President Barack –War of Choice! — Obama's re-election bid in 2012, it looks as though HBO's decided to double down with a miniseries written by a "West Wing" alum that's based in part on the PBS (your tax dollars used against you again) Frontline documentary, "The Dark Side."
HBO has optioned the book Angler: The Cheney Vice Presidency by Pulitzer-Prize winning journalist Barton Gellman for a miniseries to be executive produced by Paula Weinstein.
The mini, which will be based on the bestselling book and the Frontline documentary The Dark Side, tells the story of Richard Bruce Cheney from his early days as Donald Rumsfeld's protégé in the Nixon administration, to the nation's youngest Chief of Staff under President Ford, to serving as Secretary of Defense under George H.W. Bush, through two controversial terms as Vice President under President George W. Bush. According to the producers, the project will center on Cheney's "single-minded pursuit of enhanced power for the Presidency (that) was unprecedented in the nation's history."

No check for Stephen F. Hayes?
Submitted by Tim Graham on Tue, 03/22/2011 - 8:24am.What? No option moola for Steve Hayes? He wrote a book on Cheney, too -- but oh, it didn't play along the Darth Vader lines. PBS: your tax dollars not only trash Dick Cheney, but inspire more Cheney-trashing on HBO.

Because Leftist Liberal policies are basically a no sell to the American voters it is absolutely essential that they run campaigns of personal destruction against their opponents in order to get Liberals elected.
It is a testament to their current desperation that they are now reaching way back into their archives of forgotten oldies to drag up Dick Cheney and flog him again but who except die-hard Lefties have any interest at all?
The Lefties don't want to face the fact that Americans have moved on. Dick Cheney, George W, Rumsfeld are all names from history books now as far as voters are concerned. Even 'Hope and Change' is seen as a campaign slogan and nothing more.
To get obie reelected the mud merchants will have to work overtime against whomever runs against him. They will be given the full Palin.

Submitted by c5then on Tue, 03/22/2011 - 9:50am.Cheney is NOT Darth Vader or even the evil emperor. He is more like stern and serious Master Windoo. The Princess Padme media do not want to hear anything negative about their young and handsome padawan, Obama, who they have fallen madly in love with. The padawan is simply misunderstood and his massive power is underappreciated according to them.
He must be re-elected to the ruling council so he can bring ballance to the budget. only he can see the importance of spending our way out of the recession and into prosperity. You see, the only way to save the republic is to give padawan Obama special emergency powers so he can fix everything and then relinquish them at a future date.

The anti-Cheney campaign never ends
Submitted by Galvanic on Tue, 03/22/2011 - 11:03am.
Personally, I never liked the guy, going back to his days as Secretary of Defense.
But it appears that as Obama's tenure lengthens, there is less and less positive image to address, so the MSM and entertainment media fall back on the Bush/Cheney bashing.
And that campaign long ago flunked its freshness test.
I think Obama's re-election campaign slogan will be "At least I'm not Bush."

Crush, Kill, DESTROY The Cheney!
Submitted by stratman on Tue, 03/22/2011 - 5:01pm.
Media goofballs must be worried Cheney is going to run in 2012 against C-3PObama, who no longer has Rahm2-D2 with him on the Millennium Phony. Fortunately Chewmomma remains with her assortment of Klingon death belts at the ready and Hans Soros has evaded carbonite stasis again and awaits rendezvous.
Anyone else think Obama's Administration looks like the bar scene in Star Wars? I'd almost swear this video was taken last Wednesday at the weekly party in the White House.

Professor Gerald Shargel contributed to the New York Times' Room for Debate discussion on how international publicity will affect the trial of Dominique Strauss-Kahn, the former director of the International Monetary Fund who is accused of sexually assaulting a hotel worker. Despite media speculation, he states, "While a court's instruction that the defendant is presumed innocent may well ring hollow — in my view, jurors start out by intuitively presuming guilt — jurors will nevertheless drill down on the facts of the case in a serious effort to deliver a fair and just verdict."

IPN and PayPal
I'm hoping that I'm doing something really dumb but I can't seem to get PayPal to talk with my IPN listener. After being on the phone with them, showing them my code, and not getting a positive result, I thought I'd bring things over here to get a fresh perspective. To send things off to Paypal, I use:
<form action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="POST">
<input type ="hidden" name="cmd" value="_xclick" />
<input type = "hidden" name="business" value ="firstname.lastname@example.com" />
<input type="hidden" name="item_name" value="Test_1" />
<input type="hidden" name="item_number" value="1" />
<input type="hidden" name="amount" value="0.01"/>
<input type="hidden" name="no_note" value="1"/>
<input type="hidden" name="currency_code" value="USD"/>
<input type="hidden" name ="lc" value="US"/>
<input type="hidden" name="bn" value="PP-BuyNowBF"/>
<input type="hidden" name ="return" value="http://www.itsmorethanatextbook.com/Homepage_extras/welcome_message.php?book_id=Test_1" />
<input type="hidden" name="cancel_return" value="http://www.itsmorethanatextbook.com/books/Test_1/homepage/index.php"/>
<input type="hidden" name="rm" value="2" />
<input type="hidden" name="notify_url" value="http://www.itsmorethanatextbook.com/ipn/ipn.php"/>
<input type="hidden" name="custom" value="7"/>

<input type="submit" value="Off to PayPal"/>

In theory, then, the user should be directed to my IPN script after a transaction. Currently in that script, I just print "Hello!" to the screen (I'll be doing some database stuff when PayPal actually sends the user there), but I fear that after a transaction, PayPal doesn't redirect to that script, it just happily accepts the payment.
Trouble shooting that I've done:
1) I've double and triple checked that IPN is enabled on Paypal and that my IPN script is the script that it gets sent to.
2) I've looked at the IPN history and it appears that something is in fact being posted.
3) I've contacted my service provider and they say that nothing's wrong on their end. (Actually, they didn't really "check" anything, they just said that there's no way it's their fault)
Is there some silly detail that I could be overlooking, such as some setting that would override the IPN behavior?
Any help would be appreciated...
Thank you,

In it you should have a php fsockopen statement which sends the data received by your ipn listener script (ipn.php) back to paypal for verification that the received data actually came from paypal and not from somewhere else.
Not all ISP's enable fsockopen by default on their clients' hosting accounts for security reasons. So the first thing I would do is check with your ISP if fsockopen is enable on the hosting account that is hosting your website and ipn.php script.

Thank you for the response. It turned out that there WAS a problem with my script. However, it wasn't until I did more googling to learn that error messages had to logged as opposed to printed to the browser that I was able to properly debug. Now that I better understand the IPN process (talking to my server as opposed to going to the browser), this piece makes sense, but I sure wish that I knew about this piece when I was attempting to debug!

PEORIA HEIGHTS, Ill.--A local teenager is back home after a big trip to Washington DC.
16-year-old Alexa Wesley from Peoria Heights was selected to speak in front of congress about juvenile rheumatoid arthritis last week.
She's advocating for legislation for cost-sharing of medications, better access to the right doctors, and research for a cure.
Wesley says even though she's also fighting the illness, she wants to help those diagnosed in the future.
She says her trip to Congress was more of an educational one, helping spread awareness about juvenile rheumatoid arthritis.
Wesley said, "They didn't realize that it affected a lot of people. Some did not know that kids actually got this and they were pretty surprised at some of the stories, how it's affected us with schooling."
Alexa Wesley says she will continue advocating for juvenile rheumatoid arthritis.

In a press release, FOX said, in part, "From the producers who brought you 'Who Wants to Marry a Multi-Millionaire' and 'The Simple Life' comes a brand new, groundbreaking reality show, 'Under Cover Spouse!' It's one part 'Wife Swap,' one part 'Under Cover Boss' and all parts fun!"
The premise, as FOX painfully explained it, will be that either a husband or wife will dress up in disguise and pose as a new co-worker of their significant other. A film crew will follow them around during the work day and record the "unsuspecting spouse dishing, and sometimes dissing!" on their spouse.

1) Course repeat policy
Undergraduate students will be limited to a maximum total of six repeats throughout their undergraduate career. Within the six repeat rule, repeats of a single course for grade improvement will be limited to three. Therefore, a single course can only appear on a transcript a total of three times. So, a student who enrolls in ENG 111 and gets a grade of D could then attempt that course a second and third time for grade improvement. The most recent grade received will be the grade used for GPA calculations. Post Baccalaureate students will follow the same policy as Undergraduate students.
Graduate students can repeat a single course only once. Graduate students are also limited to a maximum of two repeats across their program. The most recent grade will be the grade used for GPA calculations.
We will begin tracking course repeats for students effective with the Fall 2009 semester. This policy will not take into account course repeats taken prior to the Fall 2009 semester.
2) Drop/add dates
Drop and Add period will extend to the 8th calendar day in a typical semester, excluding holidays when the university is closed. Normally this gives students an entire week, plus a weekend, for drop and add activity. These periods will be converted to percentages to apply to nontraditional semesters. Drop and add occurs after 11.4% of the class days (excluding exams); adjusted to a whole number. Drop/add dates will be available in the 'Calendars' link.
3) Graduation and Degree Conferral
Students must initiate an Application for Graduation to be considered a candidate for graduation. Applications are available on the Registrar's Office website. Applications must be approved by the academic advisor, department chair and dean. Deadlines for submitting applications are available on the Registrar website. Details regarding the commencement ceremony can be found on the Commencement web page.
Formal commencement exercises are held in December and May of each year. Participation in the December ceremony is limited to those degree candidates who will complete their degree requirements in fall or winter intersession. Participation in the May ceremony is limited to those degree candidates who will complete their degree requirements in the spring or summer.
Degrees are conferred six times annually – the last day of final exams for the fall semester, winter intersession, spring semester, first summer session, second summer session, and third summer session.
Students who have not successfully completed all degree requirements within 30 days after the last day of final exams will not have their degree awarded until the degree conferral date for the term their requirements have been completed.
Students who do not successfully complete their degree requirements for the term are responsible for reactivating their application for graduation by notifying the Registrar's Office of their next anticipated date of graduation.
4) Graduation Residency Requirement
All first baccalaureate degree students will take at least 30 of their last 45 credits at Clarion University with at least 50% of major credits from Clarion. The 30 of the last 45 credit residency requirement will be implemented for all students. This policy will be retroactive to students enrolled in past catalog years. The 50% major credit requirement will be implemented with the Fall 2009 catalog year for incoming students.
For master's students, at least 2/3 of the credits meeting program requirements must be taken from Clarion University.
5) Simultaneous Degree Completion
Effective with the Fall 2009 catalog year for incoming students, undergraduate students seeking to complete a second baccalaureate degree from a different college of the university or different degree (e.g., B.S., B.A., B.F.A.) within the same college will be required to complete 150-credit minimum for completion of simultaneous degrees.
Students may complete a double major (e.g., B.S. in Chemistry and B.S. in Biology) with less than 150 credits as long as they meet all of the requirements for both programs. If the student has less than 150 credits and the two majors involve multiple degree designations (e.g., B.A. in English and B.S. in Psychology), the student will have the option to select the degree designation that appears on the transcript and diploma.
Effective with the Fall 2009 catalog year, graduate students seeking to complete two simultaneous graduate degrees will be required to complete at least 12 hours beyond the minimal credit requirements for the degree program with the most required credits.
6) Withdrawal Policy
Individual Course Withdrawal Policy
An undergraduate student is permitted five individual course withdrawals at Clarion University, which are recorded with a grade of W. Exceptions may be made for withdrawals due to documented extenuating circumstances with approval of the instructor, advisor, and dean of the student's program.
All class withdrawals must be initiated by completing a class withdrawal form, which is signed by the student's advisor. If a withdrawal is not made through the Office of the Registrar, a failing grade will be recorded for the affected course(s). Classes a student drops during the period of drop/add will not appear on the student's record. Course withdrawals may be made between the second and tenth weeks of a regular semester or by the dates listed on the Registrar's calendar page for winter and summer sessions. Students are limited to 5 class withdrawals within their career.
Appeals for a late course withdrawal may be made by students to the Registrar for withdrawals due to documented extenuating circumstances such as illness or some other unavoidable occurrence. These appeals must be submitted in writing prior to the last day of classes and require approval of the instructor, advisor, and dean of the student's program.
Withdrawal From the University
Students may withdraw from the university (all courses) through the last day of classes by notifying the Office of the Registrar in writing of his or her intention to withdraw and the reason for withdrawal. University withdrawals, which are recorded with grades of WX, are not included in the limit of five individual course withdrawals. If a withdrawal is not made by the deadline, a failing grade may be recorded for the affected course(s).
Appeals to this procedure must be submitted by the student in writing to the Registrar no later than 30 days following the end of the semester for which the student is submitting the withdrawal. Appeals require review and approval by the Office of Academic Affairs.
See section on refunds under financial information for financial implications of withdrawal.

Public Abstract:
Mouse embryonic stem (mES) cells are the earliest pluripotent mammalian cell ever described, capable of generating entire viable mice in vivo and producing most, if not all, cell types in vitro. In combination with this pluripotency, an extensive rate of proliferation confers on mES cells the status of an unlimited renewable source of cells. The use of ES-derived cells as therapeutic agents has been previously shown to be possible in mice. Therefore, the recent isolation of human ES (hES) cells has stimulated interest in their potential clinical value. hES cells have became the subject of intensive studies aimed at cell therapies, creating a great hope for curing many degenerative diseases. Among them, Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is a neurological disease that attacks and degenerates the motor neurons (MNs) that control voluntary muscles. Spinal MNs can be generated in vitro from ES cells and used to achieve a functional restoration of motor units after injury in model animal. But the relationship between the stage of neuronal differentiation and the efficiency of in vivo engraftment and differentiation has not been empirically investigated so far. It is very important to extensively study the potentiality of engraftment of cells according to their stage of differentiation, in order to optimize the transplantation process. The MN differentiation pathway is very well characterized, divided in at least three stages, but very little is known about the molecular mechanism regulating the neuronal differentiation process, driving the cells from one stage to an other, or the engraftment capacities and degree of commitment of these different developmental intermediate. Preliminary observations obtained in the lab led us to consider Cyclin Ds, known as positive regulator of the cell cycle, as makers of different stages in the MN differentiation process. In addition, it has been demonstrated that CyclinD1 is able to modify the activity of transcription factors. We thus have hypothesized that the dynamic expression of Cyclin Ds observed in the CNS could be part of the molecular mechanism involved in the regulation of neuronal specification. Preliminary results confirmed this hypothesis and prompted us to ask if, similarly, the modulation of Cyclin Ds level of expression could be a way to influence ES cells along the in vitro MN differentiation process. The goal of this proposal is to test this hypothesis and determine whether it allows amplification of progenitors at different stages in the MN lineage. Preliminary results will be obtained on mES, for the ease of manipulation, but soon similar experiments will be conducted on hES cells. If our hypothesis is confirmed, the efficiency of engraftment will be analyzed for the different populations, hoping that this will leads to optimize the engraftment process, bringing us closer to a cure for many neurodegenerative diseases.
Statement of Benefit to California:
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), often referred to as "Lou Gehrig's disease," is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and the spinal cord, resulting in muscle weakness and atrophy. Nearly 120,000 cases are diagnosed worldwide each year, with a life expectancy after diagnosis as short as 2-4 years. Replacing the degenerating motor neurons using a renewable cell source such as human embryonic stem cells appears to be one of the most promising treatments for ALS, as well as other neurodegenerative diseases. Unfortunately, if the proof of principle for such treatment has already been demonstrated in rodent, long is the way toward such cure for human. Notably, a drastic improvement for the transplantation process is necessary. With this project, we propose to extensively study the potentiality of engraftment of cells according to their stage of differentiation, in order to optimize the transplantation process. If successful, this study will constitute a huge step toward curing ALS patients as well as many patients whom may require neuronal graft. This will also benefit the State of California and its citizens. It is of primary importance to support innovative research as it will maintain a dynamic environment propitious to attract more qualified people. Mastering such cutting edge technology also represents a important advantage for the State of California and its citizens as it may lead to the development of health care program and possibly biotech companies, which represents an advantage for the local economy.
Review Summary:
SYNOPSIS: This is a solid proposal to study Cyclin D family regulation of early neural differentiation transitions in mES and hES cells. The goal here is to test whether modulation of Cyclin D1/D2 is important in directing motor neuron differentiation independently of their cell cycle functions, and whether a state more amenable to the differentiation of motor neurons can be found. The aims are to 1) characterize developmental intermediates in mouse then human, 2) modulate Cyclin D1 and/or D2 to look at motor neuron differentiation, and 3) put motor neurons into spinal cord injury model and see if they reconstruct corticospinal tract. SIGNIFICANCE AND INNOVATION: This is an important topic, both from a basic understanding of the generation of motor neurons and the molecular control of the process and also toward the production of these cells for cell therapies, especially in ALS. This is fundamental and significant as the foundation for future work in the field. The applicant will use state-of-the-art techniques to explore the interrelationships of the Cyclin D's in both mouse and human ESC's and their role in ESC differentiation along a motor neuron pathway. STRENGTHS: There is a pressing need for the production of large numbers of human motor neurons for ALS therapy. The PI has an extremely strong track record in the field, especially in mouse genetics and motor neuron development. This extremely strong lab, investigator, knowledge, and rigor with proven productivity allows "loose ends" to be somewhat overlooked. The work will be done in a world-class institution. WEAKNESSES: The SCI/in-vivo experiments are weaker and much less well-defined and illuminating than the earlier experiments. It is clear that Aims 1 and 2 are entirely within the applicant's expertise, but the in-vivo work is less so and a letter of collaboration from Dr. Anderson is not included. One suggestion is that the applicant work on describing the in-vivo experiments better, e.g., why would one want SMNs in SCI? If there are good reasons, then motivate the work in those directions. If the work is not as clearly motivated, then re-direct experiments to best advance fundamental knowledge. As the applicant will work on both mouse and human ESC's it is not entirely clear whether all of Specific Aims 1 and 2 will be done with both. In Aim 3, they will use mESCs but why not go directly to hESCs? Although the applicant states that they will use data gathered in Aim 3 to go onto models of ALS, might it not be possible to go straight to these? DISCUSSION: This proposal comes from a preeminent developmental biologist and marks a transition from established interests in mouse to a new focus on human work. The PI is very well funded and has HHMI money. The in-vivo models proposed in Aim 3 were unclear except for the segmental injury model, and while motor neuron replacement is one of the goals the applicant is looking for locomotor effects. Reviewers felt that the proposal would have been better without the third aim. Many different neuronal types are damaged following spinal cord injury, and it is unclear why the PI feels that replacement of a single type of neuron - somatic motor neurons - would fix the injury. One panel member also noted that Cyclin D mutations have no phenotype in mice, nor does the Cyclin D1/D2 double-mutant. Finally, The proposal was not carefully presented; inconsistencies and obvious "loose-ends" in the proposal read as though it was written by two people rather than a single PI.

Dr. Eric Warren earned a PhD in Aerospace Engineering from North Carolina State University with help from NASA. In 1997, Dr. Warren's career in motorsports began when he accepted an engineering role with NASCAR's Kranefuss-Haas Racing.
Dr. Warren maintained that role and expanded his efforts when the team became Penske-Kranefuss Racing. Warren left his role as chief aerodynamicist, lead engineer at Penske-Kranefuss Racing in January 2001 and founded Competition Aerodynamics, a consulting firm that focused on aerodynamic development and consulting for high performance race teams. He was also one of four founders of Aletheon Technologies, which provided engineering development services to motorsports and U.S. Military programs.
After working to establish Competition Aerodynamics, Dr. Warren redirected his focus back to racing. In January 2002, he accepted the technical director position at Evernham Motorsports. Dr. Warren's leadership abilities quickly led to his appointment as vice president of Evernham Motorsports. After winning 12 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series races there, Dr. Warren parted ways with the organization during the 2007 season.
In September 2007, Dr. Warren joined Michael Waltrip Racing as the vice president and technical director, with the goal of reorganizing and building a more competitive race team. After spending the 2008 season at MWR, Dr. Warren left to pursue challenges in other forms of motorsports and returned to consulting work in high performance vehicles. Reuniting with Ray Evernham, Dr. Warren led the aerodynamic design of Doug Herbert's land speed record car.
During his tenures at Penske-Kranefuss Racing and Evernham Motorsports, Dr. Warren developed technical partnerships with several Formula 1 race teams, most notably McLaren F1 and Stewart Grand Prix. When the opportunity came to attempt to bring the United States back to Formula 1 racing with the USF1 team, he could not resist. During 2009 and early 2010, Dr. Warren was the chief aerodynamicist of USF1 and focused his engineering efforts on designing a Formula 1 car for competition.
Dr. Warren returned to his NASCAR roots in 2010 and joined Richard Petty Motorsports as the technical director, overseeing all technical and race engineering activities.
Dr. Warren, a native of Mt. Airy, N.C., resides in Mooresville, N.C. with his wife Christie and two children.

replace Spectrum Interactive at Northumbria
This petition was created by the students in halls at Northumbria university who have their internet access provided by spectrum interactive. Spectrum has never delivered the fast reliable service we were promised and with the connection being down for days at a time and the students having to use their own phones to call the customer support line at their own cost! It makes us wonder what are we paying for If we get enough signatures hopefully we can get the university to change to a more reliable isp.

Great recipe! I reduced the sugar to no more than equal to the amount of pumpkin. And I substituted a cup of brown sugar as well. This was simple and quick!
I'm a fanatic about trying new recipes for jams and jellies, so when I saw this recipe for pumpkin butter with such a great reviewer rating, I thought I hit the jackpot. You can't beat how easy it is to make, but I just thought it was way too sweet. I won't be making this recipe again.
31 Ratings
Wonderful recipe! Very quick and easy to make. I, too, substituted brown sugar for 1 of the cups of sugar and it came out great! A nice addition to my holiday baskets!
I rated this 5 stars because it is a great base recipe. I made it exactly as stated, but next time will make some changes. I found it to be sweeter than I like, so next time I'll be lowering the amount of sugar by about half. I also like butters a bit thicker so will be cooking it a bit longer as well. But all in all, it is a wonderfully easy, quick, tasty recipe.
This recipie is fantastic. I brought a jar to work and everyone raved! I plan to make some more for the holidays. It is a little sweet, so remember that a little goes a long way.
This is a great recipe. I like my "butters" on the thick side, so I cooked it longer than the recipe states. And, I did use a bit less sugar. Using pumpkin spice rather than using two or three separate spices is a great idea. Thank you!
Please see the article from the University of Georgia Extension Office. Canning guidelines are revised periodically, so it's worth a quick web search to make sure it's still safe.
I loved this recipe! It came out at just the right consistency. The only thing I changed was the amount of sugar. I used about a 1/2 cup less than this recipe called for. It's still plenty sweet!

Reviews for Fruited Cranberry Gelatin Salad
Sort By :
I have been using this recipe every year since it came out in the magazine. It is always a big hit and will be taking it to a potluck at work this month. Love, love, love it!!!
This has been a holiday meal staple for years. I love that it only takes a few minutes to make, plus I can prepare it a few days in advance. Edit 1/5/14: My 9 year old has now taken over making this dish (with supervision at the stovetop step) and is so proud of herself for having something to contribute to Thanksgiving and Christmas meals.
This has become a holiday staple. My family never liked cranberry sauce then I made this and added a small can of mandarin oranges and my family ate it up. Now I have to double the recipe.
Question: Do you add any water to the gelton while you are cooking it?

Wednesday night, the continued its push to sunset its responsibility for the maintenance of 209 town grinder pumps, agreeing they should have something finalized at their next meeting to go in front of the Representative Town Meeting with.
"You'll have to have a good case for the RTM to do this," said Board of Finance member J.W. "Bill" Sheehan, who serves as the board's liaison to the Utility Commission. "You're going to have an uphill battle getting this approved."
The Utility Commission is proposing to sunset the maintenance of all 209 grinder pumps it is currently responsible for. This will mean homeowners, if they have one, will be responsible for the maintenance of their own pump, which can costs thousands of dollars to fix or $3,500 to replace.
"It is a heavy burden for us to take care of all the pumps," Utility Commission Chief Engineer Neftali Soto said. "This is a move to keep our rates down in the future."
The Full Story
Grinder pumps pump sewage uphill. When the Utility Commission installed sewer lines throughout the town, it installed grinder pumps to homes with sewer connections below the line, therefore requiring a pump.
Let Patch save you time. Get great local stories like this delivered right to your inbox or smartphone every day with our free newsletter. Simple, fast sign-up here.
The Utility Commission originally said it would be responsible for the maintenance of these pumps. In 2004, the RTM on behalf of the commission changed the rule so if the deed to a house was changed, i.e. the house was sold, the commission would no longer maintain the pump. Additionally, all new grinder pumps the town installed would be the responsibility of the homeowner.
Since that date, the name on the deed changed on 85 homes with grinder pumps, meaning the Utility Commission has turned over the maintenance of 85 grinder pumps to 85 homeowners. Still, it has to maintain the remaining 209 pumps, which is a lot of work and money, Soto said.
The plan is to sunset the responsibility of the grinder pumps on January 1, 2014, meaning the 209 homeowners with town-maintained grinder pumps will then have to maintain the pumps themselves. That sunset requires a change in ordinance, meaning it requires the 22-person RTM to approve it.
Sheehan said residents will argue that they were promised the town would maintain the pumps, and now the Utility Commission is reneging on that promise. But in reality the people with grinder pumps got a great deal from the town, and if it doesn't happen sewer rates will go up and everybody will pay more, Utility Commission member Ken Kirkman said.
"The last pump we installed that we were responsible for was in 2003," Kirkman said. "So that means that we maintained people's pumps for 10 years, at least. That's a pretty good deal."
Soto said few – if any - other towns maintain grinder pumps. The town is also currently responsible for energizing the pumps, a difficult task during Tropical Storm Irene when the power was out for over a week, Soto said.
The cost of maintaining grinder pumps can vary depending on the use, but installing a new one costs about $3,500, he said. They also need electricity to work, so homeowners need to have a generator, Soto said.
The commission agreed they would likely finalize their proposal next meeting and then forward it to the RTM.

Superb, attentive and helpful service, a fantastic wine list and outstanding food.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Terra a very good dining experienceHenryDined on 8/31/2014"I really like this well appointed and fashionable dining room. We typically avoid the Summer Licious venue, but their selections were really well presented and were marvelously cooked. Service was very well executed and food was its usual high standards. A classy place, and could be even classier if they lowered the music volume.Special Features:
- Consistancy of QuaityFoodFinderDined on 8/31/2014We have eaten at Terra a number of times and it has always been an enjoyable experienceSpecial Features:

- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/24/2014Disappointing. Slow service. Moderate food. Expensive. Would not go again
- Pleasant find.RH001Dined on 8/22/2014I've driven by this restaurant for years without really knowing how great it was until now. Food and service were excellent and a two piece band comprised of a guitarist and saxophone / flute player added a nice, low-key "live music" touch.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great Dining ExperienceOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 8/21/2014My wife and I came to celebrate our wedding anniversary and we had a great experience. The wait staff was extremely knowledgeable and friendly and the service as well as the food was outstanding, from the appetizers right through to the desert. We would definitely return and recommend the restaurant to anyone who is looking for an upscale dining experience here in Thornhill.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Wonderful!DannyDined on 8/20/2014I have worked in fine dining for a long time and currently am a Banquet Chef at Canadas top golf course, and I must say this has been maybe the best experiences I have had at a restaurant. The food was cooked to perfection, my ostrich entre was flawless, my girlfriend loved her plates and the wine was perfect. I really couldn't ask for anything better.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good food, but weird billingOpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 8/10/2014Food was good, service was fairly attentive, but I was overcharged for both glasses of wine. Realized afterwards and called them, manager emailed me back saying that they are now pouring bigger glasses and hadn't changed the prices on the menu?? I don't know about you, but to me that sounds a little fishy. Waiter also overcharged the table next to us and said that he "forgot" to use the special "Sundaylicious" pricing. Huh?? Really??? Again, sounds fishy... Was it the waiter or the restaurant? Hmmm...Special Features:
- Our anniversary dinnergalogueDined on 8/3/2014We were greeted at the door immediately and taken to our table. It was our anniversary and we were treated to 2 complimentary glasses of Prosecco. We had also held our wedding reception at Terra and had an amazing experience then as well. We chose to eat off of the Sundaylicious menu. I got the caesar salad, striploin steak and creme brulee. My spouse got the hand picked salad, game parpadelle and creme brulee. Everything was delicious. We will be back!Special Features:
- Not up to usual standardAscalepiusDined on 8/3/2014Having eaten at Terra on numerous occasions one has high expectations of the restaurant. On this occasion, perhaps because it was a Sunday on a long week end, the meal was not up to the usual standard with the service slower than usual. The Sea bass was quite acceptable...but the cabbage carrot slaw garnish placed on the sea bass was extremely vinegary and did not enhance the fish and spoiled the wine.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Amazing food!swtangel102Dined on 7/31/2014My husband and I finally got to try out this restaurant after living in the neighbourhood for how many years??? It was amazing. The ambiance was nice and romantic. Perfect for anniversary celebration or any other special occasions. The food was excellent. The portions were just right (as I'm not a big eater). Definitely will come back again.Special Features:
- Our Favourite RestaurantSnuffyDined on 7/16/2014Always outstanding food and service! We love going here with friends or for a romantic night out!! We went the other day for our anniversary and they had a long stem rose waiting at or table for us and brought us a special dessert that said happy anniversary!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Good neighbourhood restaurantLocalVIPDined on 6/4/2014This is an expensive restaurant - about $175 for 2, with minimal (1 glass of wine) alcohol. Food is competent, good, but not extraordinary given the price. Lobster bisque is excellent. Service is excellent++.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- UnchallengedOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 6/1/2014Nothing in the north end of the city comes close to Terra for overall dining experience. The food is consistently wonderful and service is smooth and professional without being too sycophantic.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- DisappointingMartyDined on 6/1/2014We have been to Terra many times and have always enjoyed it. This time however was disappointing. We ordered from the Sundaylicious menu. First our salad was supposed to have goat cheese in it but there was none. When we told the waiter he brought out the goat cheese in small plates and we had to mix it into our salad ourselves. I ordered chicken for my main course. Some of the chicken was hot but the top portion was borderline cold. When it was time for dessert no one bothered to ask us if we wanted coffee or tea. No excuse for that. We experienced very shoddy service from what is purported to be a first class restaurant. Could be our last time there.Special Features:
- Never a disappointment!AjumenaiDined on 5/31/2014Ever since my first visit to Terra I've always had a good experience. The food is good, excellent service and I like the atmosphere. We went to celebrate my mom's birthday and they gave my mom a plate of cookies with a candle that said Happy Birthday in chocolate sauce! This was a nice touch since they remembered my comment. The cookie tray was on the house. It's the little things like this that mean a lot and make the dining experience memorable. I'm definitely going back soon!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great ExperienceMandMDined on 5/30/2014We went for an anniversary dinner and were not disappointed. We were welcomed graciously, service was excellent, professional and friendly. The menu choice was very good and the actual food and portions excellent. We were seated a bit too close to the live music (singing guitarist with a bass player -- soft pop tunes) and found this just a bit loud. But the live music was unexpected, and nice!Special Features:
- It's alrightOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 5/30/2014I have higher expectation in this place, decor is fine, live band is good (not too loud). Food is ok, a little too salty to my liking. with the wine they serve there, I expect to have better quality of food to be served. Overall expectation is so so.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Terra on a WednesdayjustdineVIPDined on 5/28/2014The food and service at Terra did not disappoint. Absolutely delicious. Their gnoochi is my favourite. We were a group of 10 and it was quite busy for a Wednesday night. I would do Terra every week but my bank account won't allow for it. Great food, great service and ambiance, just pricey.Special Features:
- Quality & ServiceBrianDined on 5/18/2014You always start with a great warm greeting followed by excellent service during a fabulous meal. Quality and service is a hard combination to turn down, especially for that special occasion.Special Features:

- overall reviewCheersDined on 5/12/2014I had received excellent service and food quality. It was an outstanding experience. I recommend an order of calamari and tiger shrimps for appetizers. I have ordered surf and turf, and sea bass for entrees. As for dessert, the assorted dessert option is a good portion for sharing in group of 2-3 people.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- The following 489 reviews are from the Terra Restaurant reviews archive.
- Pretty goodec77Dined on 4/13/2014We had the smoked salmon crepe and foie gras for appetizers, the rib eye steak and sea bass for mains. The appetizers were excellent. The seabass was nicely prepared, delicious and fatty. The steak was really TOO salty, but it was cooked well and juicy. We topped this off with the chocolate cake. Terra is great, but you do pay for it. Overall an excellent meal.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Fantastic High-End DiningJessicalovesfoodDined on 4/11/2014Terra was fantastic - the service was above and beyond, so friendly and helpful. but the most amazing part was the FOOD - to die for! we had the foie gras, arugula salad, bison steak (my husband) and ostrich fan with risotto (me). everything was exceptional, and it was fun trying something new and a little 'different', but that was done so well. it is a top of the line restaurant, but be warned, it is quite pricey! worth it though, everything was so delicious and beautiful. a great place to take someone for a special event or treat!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- All around fantastic!CateyesDined on 4/10/20141st time!! From service to food everything was great. Servers were polite and professional. Service was efficient food met every expectation!! Delicious!!!! Restaurant became busy never felt pressured to have to leave as we were just lounging around after dinner! Definitely go back and definitely recommendSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Come for food; stay for service!!!LoveToEatDined on 4/1/2014Have you ever been some place where the server makes you feel like an honored guest? From opening greeting to stopping by the table just as the food is being served to the check close out, our server could not have been more gracious! The food was excellent; but with the advent of Yelp, et al, excellent food is more readily accessible than ever before. Service now seems to be the more elusive quality for the restaurant-goers. If you would like excellent food AND exceptional service, I hope/trust you will be entreated in a similarly gracious way. (p.s. the only caveats to this place are 1) you might not be a fan of the decor or 2) the aggressive valet in the parking lot - if you can get past these two items you are in for a treat)Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Terra NightTayaDined on 3/30/2014Sincerely the best service that my family and I received through the many years.

We had the Ahi Tuna appetizer, which was phenomenal, and I was fortunate enough to try ostrich for the first time that night, also an amazing dish. The staff was perfect, consummately professional... Truly can not say enough about the perfect service we received their. And what a wine list! Will definitely be coming back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

Holiday decor
This is an obvious way to save. The National Retail Federation found that the average person will spend $51.99 this year on ornaments, lights and other decorative baubles, the most in the survey's history. That doesn't include greeting cards, wrapping paper and flowers. The best time to buy holiday items is Dec. 26. Use what you have in the attic and stock up on lights and ornaments the day after Christmas.
There is always the urge to buy a new dining table, new curtains or a new sofa immediately before the family visits for the holidays. But retailers know this, and they're hoping you'll buy the sofa in November instead of January. New furniture stock arrives in stores come February, so there will be massive discounts on sofas and kitchen tables in January. Resist the temptation to spend and wait for the sale.
THE BOTTOM LINE: Holidays are expensive enough with all the travel and gift-giving. Don't waste money on non-essentials. Those things can wait until 2013, when you're sure to find true bargains.

Marc Jacobs Fall 2014: Happy days are (reportedly) here again
The inspiration: The Depression-era song "Happy Days Are Here Again" may not have been inspiration per se, but it certainly was a strong influence — though it was not the traditional peppy version that Marc Jacobs played as the models strutted the runway. It wasn't Barbara Streisand's ironic, slower-paced version — not even the "Glee" duets take. Instead, an hypnotic voice recited the lyrics over...Read more »
Calvin Klein Fall 2014: Mo' better mohair
The inspiration: The now-infamous polar vortex must've been on the brain of Calvin Klein designer Francisco Costa. His parade of plush wool and mohair dresses and coats is clearly designed to warm, of course, but also to comfort and soothe.
The vibe: Serene. This is, after all, a Calvin Klein show.
The lust-o-meter: The palette was fairly standard for this brand — primarily black and...Read more »
Ralph Lauren Fall 2014: Here comes a whole new line
The inspiration: It wasn't so much inspiration as news that fueled Ralph Lauren's runway show. Make that shows, plural, as in two back-to-back, one of his luxe line (Ralph Lauren Collection), and the other his first-ever Polo diffusion line for women.
The vibe: Exciting, given that there's a whole new Ralph line and vision to check out. Debuts like that don't come around very often.

Obama press conference thread
by desmoinesdem, Thu May 27, 2010 at 02:37:19 PM EDT
I wasn't able to watch President Obama's press conference today, but wanted to put up this thread to discuss it. The consensus on Twitter seems to be that the White House press corps didn't ask very good questions. Read the Daily Caller's liveblog and judge for yourself.
Before taking questions, Obama confirmed changes in administration policy on offshore drilling reported earlier today:
President Obama also is expected to announce a suspension of upcoming lease sales in the western Gulf of Mexico, after receiving a 30-day review of the Deepwater Horizon drilling rig explosion that caused an ongoing massive leak.
The White House also will propose more rigorous oil development regulations and oversight as part of an effort to boost its response to the disaster as criticism has mounted of its handling of the worsening crisis.
Obama plans to extend the current moratorium on new deepwater drilling, put in place after the Gulf leak began, until the independent commission created to investigate the spill and to make recommendations for improvements can complete its work.
Any applications for exploratory drilling in the Arctic will be suspended until 2011, sources said. That includes suspending preliminary permits that had already been given to Shell to drill in the Chukchi and Beaufort seas off Alaska, which had been scheduled to start in less than 35 days.
A lease sale 50 miles off the coast of Virginia planned by 2012 also will be canceled.
Most of the questions related to the BP oil spill in the gulf. Obama said he was in charge and took responsibility for the damage caused and for not changing the culture at the Minerals Management Service quickly enough. He did not confirm whether that agency's head, Elizabeth Birnbaum, resigned or was fired.
Asked about our Afghanistan policy, Obama defended our military involvement. Responding to a question about Arizona's new immigration law, Obama said it's "the wrong approach" but didn't endorse any boycotts. He confirmed that the Department of Justice is reviewing the law. Fox News reporter Major Garrett asked about the allegations that the administration offered Joe Sestak a job to get him out of Pennsylvania's Democratic primary for U.S. Senate. Obama said, ""There will be an official response shortly on the Sestak issue, which I hope will answer your questions, [...] I can assure the public that nothing improper took place, but as I said, there will be a response shortly on that issue."
The floor is yours.

GM Watch: John Dorsey is the New Name in the Mix
While names like Tom Gamble, Tom Heckert, Marc Ross and others have been batted around for the Jets GM search a new name came up last night. John Dorsey, the Green Bay Packers Director of Football Operations, is now another potential candidate the Jets have set up an interview with this weekend per Jason LaCanfora of CBS Sports.
Packers exec John Dorsey interviewing with Jets this weekend and has strong shot to get GM job with Andy Reid in KC—
Jason La Canfora (@JasonLaCanfora) January 04, 2013
Dorsey is an interesting candidate. Last year he turned down the chance to interview with the Colts, has played football professionally and has a long history with the Packers dating back to his playing days. The Packers are of course one of the league's most stable and successful franchises and has that is the skillset that the Jets seemed determined to come away with in their search. During his time with Green Bay, Dorsey would have gained an extensive background and experience in personnel and building through the draft as opposed to trades/free agency.

It has been about a week since the Jacksonville University women's basketball team last played and the Dolphins are ready to return to action as they head to Alabama on Saturday, Nov. 30 to take on the Trojans of Troy University at 1 p.m.
The Trojans lead the all-time series, 10-4. The last meeting between the two resulted in an 88-83 overtime thriller at Swisher Gymnasium. Though the Fins were on the losing side of the matchup, senior forward Jade Cargill scored 25 points, her career-high, to go alongside 15 boards.
Officially in the win column, the Dolphins (1-2) held down the home fort in a 79-58 victory over Georgia Southern on Sunday. Senior Madison Scott scored 15 points in the contest, matching her career-high.
"That game meant a lot," said Scott. "My teammates are seeing that they can trust me with the ball and rely on me to score. I really wasn't thinking about how many points I could score; I just wanted to win. Now we are back in business. It's what everyone has been waiting for! In the locker room we call this [season] the Shock the World tour and we are ready to show everyone how hard we've been working."
In her first collegiate start, freshman guard Sherranda Reddick scored 15 points as she made 9-of-11 from the free throw line. She also contributed with five rebounds, four assists and three steals and had only two turnovers in 23 minutes of play.
Playing well on both sides of the ball, senior guard Stephanie Edwards' unselfish play was a key factor in the victory. The captain had a stellar evening, finishing with eight points, six rebounds, five assists and four steals.
Currently sitting at 2-2 on the season, the Trojans have lost their last two games. In close matches against Tennessee State and University of Alabama-Huntsville five and six points were the difference. Senior guard Joanna Harden leads Troy with 20.5 points per game while sophomore guard Ashley Beverly-Kelly adds 13.3 and senior guard Brooke Bowie chips in with 11.3.
