Huskie Women's
Basketball Falls Short in 73-67 OT Tussle With Wisconsin-Green Bay
DeKALB, IL -
a gallant comeback to force overtime, the Northern Illinois University
women's basketball squad came up on the short end of a 73-67 overtime
tangle with the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay on Sunday (Nov.
20) at the NIU Convocation Center.
The Horizon
League preseason favorite Phoenix, who are gunning for a fifth straight
NCAA tourney this year, repeatedly capitalized on 32 turnovers by
the Huskies in order to even their season ledger at 1-1. The Huskies,
who were outscored 11-5 in the extra five-minute session, saw their
record level off at 1-1 after Friday's season-opening 67-62 victory
over North Dakota State University.
"I think
Green Bay showed their NCAA experience in the second half and in
the overtime," NIU coach Carol Owens said. "I'm very proud
of how the team battled back and took a really good team to overtime.
Statistically, we did better in every category but turnovers. I
believe they got 30 points in transition off our turnovers. Obviously,
that's way too many, but it's something we can and will work on."
Things were
working in Northern Illinois' favor early on as the Huskies capitalized
on some initial cold shooting by UWGB to claim a series of eight-point
leads with the last being an 18-10 advantage midway through the
opening half. However, UWGB's Phoenix went on a 12-1 run en route
to an intermission edge of 32-30.
glad to come away with a win," Wisconsin-Green Bay coach Kevin
Borseth said. "Our defense played pretty well and we tried
to apply as much pressure as we could."
Although the
Huskies committed a whopping 17 turnovers in the opening half, that
figure was trimmed only slightly to 15 for the final 20 minutes
of regulation plus the five minutes of overtime.
"They did
pressure us, but we need to be more confident with the ball,"
NIU's Kristin Wiener (Apple Valley, MN / Academy of Holy Angels)
insisted. "That's something we simply need to take control
of from our standpoint."
Bay appeared to be comfortably in control with 5:46 to play after
Nicole Soulis hit a lay-up to give the Phoenix their largest lead
of nine, 56-47. However, that's when Wiener and sophomore reserve
Whitney Lowe (Bushnell / Bushnell-Prairie City) helped spark a Huskie
comeback. Wiener hit two sets of free throws before Stephanie Raymond
(Rockford / Lutheran) nailed a jumper and Lowe followed her own-miss
rebound putback with a left wing three-pointer to tie the contest
at 58.
Raymond, who
had a single point in the opening half, hit one of two free throws
before Soulis put UWGB back on top, 60-59, by hitting a pair from
the charity stripe. Raymond hit a clutch jumper in the lane for
a 61-60 NIU lead with 40 seconds only to have the Phoenix's Kayla
Groh drive for a go-ahead lay-up, 62-61, with 24 seconds left.
With 8.4 seconds
left, Wiener went to the free throw line with Wisconsin-Green Bay
using a full timeout prior to a first free throw miss and 30-second
timeout before a made second attempt for a 62-all contest. The Phoenix
got a lay-up by Groh to start the OT and then Groh cashed in on
two free throws as Raymond fouled out with 3:01 to play. A Berglin
steal and another Groh lay-up stretched it to six and that grew
to eight on a Soulis jumper. Soulis and Berglin both finished with
19 while Groh added 16 for the Phoenix.
Wiener led NIU
with a game-high 20 points, just missing a double-double with nine
rebounds in helping NIU enjoy a 41-22 edge on the boards. Lowe came
off the bench to hit a career-best 14 while Raymond finished with
getting there and once again there were bright spots. Whitney's
14 points and six boards off the bench was great, I thought Kristin
with 20 points and nine rebounds, she played her heart out,"
Owens said. "I also thought Jennifer Uptmor (Centerville, OH)
did a lot that doesn't show up statistically, outside of her (team-best)
five assists."
After opening
with two home games, the Huskies now hit the road for three contests
that begin a mini-state tour. Northern Illinois journeys to Macomb
on Tuesday (Nov. 22) night for a 7 p.m. contest against a Western
Illinois University squad which ran its homecourt winning streak
to 40 consecutive with a 96-59 blowout of Hannibal-LaGrange College.
NIU visits Illinois State University on Saturday (Nov. 26) before
a Nov. 29 trip to the University of Illinois. The Huskies are back
in DeKalb on Dec. 2 for a home date with the University of Illinois-Chicago
before visiting DePaul University to cap the in-state swing.

Boston Globe on the enblogged globe: Brokers in Blogsville
The Boston Globe has a feature on RE.net webloggers today. Nothing that will seem to be news to regular real estate weblog readers, but a nice chance to shine for a lot of familiar names. No mention of RCG, Matrix or BHB, but that's perfectly understandable. When reporters finally resolve to pay attention, they become webloggers.

Google Glass family
This Technology Review article "Growing up with Google Glass" is interesting, it talks about a future where whole families: parents, kids and even babies are all using Google Glass together.
Also suggests some interesting apps:
Apps that help parents check up on their Glass-wearing kids, for example by streaming video from their point of view, will also surely appear.
What do you think? When you have kids, would you check up on them via their Glass?
Would you buy one for your baby? Maybe to video chat with them?

Avoiding the Homeworks with Christmakkuh Festivities
So there are…*does this sweet finger-counting move*…two and half weeks. Until I fly home.
And in that amount of time, here's everything I need to do:
- Exercises 2-6 for my Graphic Design course
- Draw up my super long Financial Intelligence business plan
- Make a 10 minute presentation about that plan
- Get all my Christmas present shopping worked out
- Have an India Dinner Party with basically everyone we know at Clark who's been to India (surprisingly many..)
- Finish reading Cat's Cradle, which I borrowed from a friend
- Update my class blog for my Gender and Rep. course
- Research for and write my paper for that class (12 pages, whatttttt)
- Go to more Study Abroad meetings
- Go to more OC meetings
- Watch a movie for my Gender class
- Make 3 mockups, and TWO finals (2. WHY) of my last Graphic Design project — this means an early morning CC Lowell run for nice paper, and a good pencil sharpener for my colored pencil babies. And lots. And lots. Of coffee.
- My Stone Age Final (cumulative — kill me now)
- My Financial Intelligence Final — not cumulative?…wow I wish I knew..
- and continue my work at ArtsWorcester, WorcesterMag, here, and the Communication and Culture Office.
Most of this is due Tuesday. And Wednesday. How prepared am I?….Well, let's go with not very. This is gonna be a week of sleepless crazy. Thankyou parents, for the excessive amount of coffee you sent me for these last few weeks. I'm ready.
Speaking of blogging though (yes, I did in fact bring it up, 3 lines up. Duh): I will be blogging for the Study Abroad Office next semester while I'm in Berlin!! I won't be on here, because, well, we already have Rian blogging from afar. Don't need two of us!
So when I find the link for that blog, I'll post it here, in case, you know, you're still interested in my shenanigans.
Other than that though, life's been pretty great! Fun times at my apartment — last night, and with the help of my beautiful assistant Madelyn, I threw a Christmakkuh Holiday Party!! The theme of which being the end of the world (um, 2012 anyone?) , and there may or may not have been a Clayton cherub on top of the tree….Clayton, of course, being the guy at the very bottom of the post I wrote back in the summah.
It was potluck-style, so I brought Eggnog, Pumpkin-Cheesecake Marbled Brownies, and Klejner (Danish Christmas cookies)! Things other people brought? Santa Hat Brownies, hot cocoa, chocolate chip cookies, oatmeal raisin cookies, those cute little Pillsbury snowman cookies, onion dip and chips, bacon-wrapped dates (I KNOW, RIGHT), sauerkraut with sausage and potatoes, fancy mac 'n cheese with bacon sausage and apples, asparagus, chips and guac, popovers, holiday drinks, and a salad. Mmm, best party ever!! I'm so so happy that I got to see so many of my friends whose schedules are usually so conflicting with mine, and everyone got along! Beautiful. I love Clarkies.
As to other goings-on this past week…I experienced quite a bit of Downtown Worcester, actually! On Friday evening, Marcell and I went to the Festival of Lights, where we watched the grand opening of the new ice skating rink at the Worcester Common Oval, and then saw the giant tree in the city center light up!
It's one of my favorite traditions that, come to think of it, I really only remember doing once or twice back home haha. But it's still my favorite!! :p And after we decided that our extremities were about to fall off, we meandered over to Armsby Abbey, which I've been dying to try ever since I saw that they won like, 9 awards in the "Best of Worcester" competition! First of all — coolest atmosphere. Second of all — MOST DELICIOUS SAUSAGE PIZZA EVER. Seriously, go go go!!
And then todaaaayy, we went to the Worcester Art Museum, which turned out to be THE best day to go, because it's all spruced up with Christmas decorations, and a choir was singing in the main lobby!! So it was echoing through the medieval exhibits and the chapel house and everything! …so awesome. And then we made our way to Picadilly's Bar and Grill, where they give you POPCORN as a free starter thing instead of bread!! :0 Jealous?
Last random tidbitlets: I went to (and failed miserably at) Sex Toy Bingo, an event thrown by the Clark Choices program, attended the most hilarious surprise birthday party (he had one planned for himself for the next day — haha, jokes on him!), found a really cool circus animal waffle maker at Savers (!!)
aaaand housing for next year fell through. Basically, we were practically guaranteed a spot, and then nobody moved out of that apartment and we are now frantically scrambling for something. And so the saga continues…

The MMFA's collection of international art, from the Old Masters to Modern Art, by virtue of its size, diversity and quality, is the only one of its kind in Quebec. It features works by Boucher, Bouguereau, Brueghel the Younger, Calder, Canaletto, Claude, Courbet, Dalí, Daumier, Derain, de Witte, Dix, El Greco, Fantin-Latour, Gainsborough, Goya, Largillierre, Mantegna, Matisse, Miró, Monet, Picasso, Poussin, Rembrandt, Renoir, Rodin, Sisley, Ter Borch, Tiepolo, Tissot, Van Dongen and Veronese, among others. One of the top three collections of its kind in Canada, it reveals not only the history of art, but also the great generosity of collectors and the efforts of curators, who have continued to search out works to continue to enhance this remarkable collection.
An Eloquent Installation to Showcase a Major Collection
Designed in 2011, in collaboration with the Montreal architecture firm Architem, the gallery circuit covers three levels, showcasing 360 works from the Old Masters to modern art. This chronologically arranged layout provides an overview of the major movements in the history of art and features all pictorial genres – religious paintings, history paintings, portraits, landscapes and still lifes, etc. Recent major acquisitions, particularly sculptures, are on display in these galleries, which are open to the public free of charge at all times. All of the works are accompanied by gallery texts and labels enriched by new research.
Level 4: From the Middle Ages to the Belle Époque
These galleries feature the following themes: The Middle Ages, from Romanesque to Gothic Art, From Gothic Art to the Renaissance, Mannerism, Caravaggism, Vanitas, Baroque Art, the Dutch Golden Age, France and Classicism, The Rococo, Neoclassicism, British Portraiture, Romanticism, Academic Art and Orientalism.
Level 3: Napoleon: Gift of the Ben Weider Collection
Created thanks to the gift of the collection of Montreal patron Ben Weider, the Empire Gallery, inaugurated in 2008, displays some 100 works relating to Napoleon and his era (silverware, furniture, works of art and personal artifacts). This major collection, the only one of its kind in North America, includes a writing case (after 1805) and a cocked hat worn by the emperor – the one from the Russian campaign (1812). A number of these objects are the envy of international museums.
Level 1: Modern Art, from Daumier to Picasso
These galleries provide a chronological overview from the mid-19th century, with the Barbizon, The Hague and Impressionist schools, to the formal pluralism of modern art in the 20th century.
The presence of music in the galleries has been common practice at the Museum since 2009, when Nathalie Bondil first introduced it to accompany the exhibition Van Dongen: Painting the Town Fauve and then Tiffany Glass: A Passion for Colour and J. W. Waterhouse: Garden of Enchantment, both presented in 2010.
Just as with the audioguide for the collection of Quebec and Canadian art, this commented musical stroll echoes the visual aesthetic experienced by the listener-visitor. This MMFA-designed audioguide not only provides the visitor with the pleasure of hearing music from different eras, it offers an extension of the visual experience.
A New Publication
In 2013, the MMFA will release World Cultures and Fine Arts, produced under the general editorship of Nathalie Bondil. This, the third and final volume of scholarly publications dedicated to the Museum's collection, features some 775 works and objects, some of which are being published for the first time. Richly illustrated entries by 30 international specialists, including Museum curators and other art historians, examine works of Egyptian, Mediterranean, Islamic, African, Chinese, Japanese, Oceanic and pre-Columbian art, as well as the Museum's collection of international art, from the Middle Ages to today. (24.5 x 35 cm, 450 pages including 1,000 colour reproductions, hardcover, available in French or English)

Albany- Swimming pools and lakes are empty, but will soon be filled with young swimmers. With the swimming season, also comes the danger of swimming related accidents.
"The most important thing is supervised swimming, no one should swim unless they're completely supervised," said Dr. Wilburn Campbell, ASU Chairman of Physical Education.
A group of students has spent the last two weekends working on their lifeguard certification to protect young kids at play.
"There's a victim in the water and they're drowning. They don't have a head neck or back injury and you just have to get them to the surface and to the side of the pool," said Mallory Sims, lifeguard.
They say when it comes to water safety, prevention is key.
"The most important tip is prevention, being aware of the rules and trying to prevent the kids from getting themselves into a harmful situation," said Kenyan Connor, lifeguard.
Most pools have rules posted and signs along the deck should not be ignored.
"The number one factor to be concerned about is back, neck, and spine injuries. This happens when people dive into shallow water of a swimming pool or dive into unknown water," said Campbell.
If you're swimming at a lake or pond without a life guard and there's trouble, you shouldn't get in the water.
"The buddy should not attempt a swimming rescue unless they are trained," said Campbell.
There are things you can do to help. "Using flotation devices, reaching out for assistance, throwing for assistance, those type of things are really critical," said Campbell.
The most important lesson is if you can't swim, don't get in.
"Kids that don't know how to swim, I advise them to stay away from the water until they go and get a swim class," said Connor.
There are more injury related accidents than drowning in the United States. On average, over 10 thousand swimmers receive head, neck and spine injuries, compared to nearly seven thousand drowning.

Don't miss Acquia's Andrew Kenney who will be speaking at this event!
Acquia is proud to be a Silver Sponsor of this event!
BURLINGTON, MA – May 7, 2012 – Acquia, the enterprise guide to Drupal, today announced that CEO Tom Erickson will participate in a panel discussion on application development in cloud computing during the invitation-only Goldman Sachs Cloud Computing Conference on May 8 at Rosewood Sand Hill in Menlo Park, CA.
The Acquia Cloud is a Drupal-tuned platform as a service (PaaS) that currently hosts hundreds of Drupal sites, serving more than 5 billion http requests and about 1 billion page views per month.
The Acquia Cloud continues to flourish! We set new records in the last month, thanks to our customers' exceptional Drupal sites, delivering 1 billion page views from Managed Cloud and Dev Cloud alone. When you add in Drupal Gardens, it amounts to over 100 terabytes of content! We've set performance records for individual sites as well. A customer's recently-launched Acquia Cloud site delivered over 25,000 requests/second during realistic load testing — the equivalent of over 1 million unique visitors in a single day.
Moving to the cloud and SaaS is easier and simpler than many executives believe and can deliver significant business gains in a relatively short amount of time. But clearly, internal politics and personal agendas sometimes get in the way of what should be a fairly straightforward decision. Otherwise, wouldn't more small and midsize companies have made the switch to 100 percent cloud environments by now?
Tom Erickson's "View From the Top" is featured as part of Acquia's place in KM World's "100 Companies that Matter in Knowledge Management."
Following last week's much anticipated and talked about nominations launch, the BRIT Awards with MasterCard website has seen record numbers of visitors as music fans log on to http://www.brits.co.uk to find out the latest news and information about next month's ceremony.
The BRITs website is hosted and supported by Acquia, whose cloud infrastructure enables clients to rapidly scale their web sites in response to surges in site traffic. Jim Shaw, VP of Europe at Acquia, weighs in.
Watch below to learn all about Veteran Central, the first online community for veterans and their advocates to share experiences, employment opportunities, and more... Powered by Drupal and hosted by Acquia.
The rise of SaaS, software delivered as a service, is having an enormously disruptive impact on the software industry. Forrester Research estimates that spending on SaaS technology will double by 2013, representing 16% of all software spend. Gartner Research estimates that SaaS software spend is growing at 18%, compounded annually, and will reach $23B by 2015.

HELLO! The Beatles didn't write it. I mean, John Lennon did it solo, if not with the Plastic Ono Band. The opther Beatles' have nothing to do with it. It was all John.
I mean, I REALLY love the Beatles SOOOOOOOOOO much, but you have to give John Lennon his individual column if you're going to comment on his music.

Im just curious, do you believe a fighter should go out on their shield, or use their brain.
For example.
When Roy Jones fought Tarver the first time, he knew that his body and time had betrayed him, yet he went on to give Tarver a rematch, even though in his heart he had to know it was going to be very difficult for him to win
Then you have lennox Lewis who fought Vitalli Klitchko. In the third round the outside ridge of the thumb on Lewis right glove caught Vitalli perfect causing a very bad cut. ( you can see the punch that caused the cut on youtube.) Although he went to to cut vitallis lip, and cut vitalli under the eye, the major cut and reason for stoppage was the cut over the eye. In all honesty Lewis got pushed around in that fight, and was o his way to losing a decision if not getting knocked out. Lewis knew the difficulty of getting up for vitalli again, decided to retire instead of continue the rivalry that could have been with Vitalli.
So in your opinion, should a fighter do what Jones did and go out on his shield, or walk away mid stream of a rivalry

At 17:35 of the second period in the Rangers/Penguins game, video review upheld the referee's call on the ice that Pittsburgh forward Matt Cooke highsticked the puck and it went off Rangers goaltender Henrik Lundqvist and then off Rangers defenseman Michael Sauer and into the net. According to rule 80.3 "when an attacking player causes the puck to enter the opponent's goal by contacting the puck above the height of the crossbar, either directly or deflected off any player or official, the goal shall not be allowed. The determining factor is where the puck makes contact with the stick." No Goal Pittsburgh
The preceding are the words of the NHL War Room after they determined that height of Matt Cooke's stick was the determining factor is disallowing a goal. The NHL cited rule 80.3 which is quoted above. However they completely ignore another rule which makes Rule 80.3 unenforceable.
78.4 ¶ 2 "A goal shall be scored if the puck is put into the goal in any way by a player of the defending side. The player of the attacking side who last touched the puck shall be credited with the goal but no assist shall be awarded. "
The words "any way" as written in rule 78.4 form a positive logical absolute. The provisions enumerated in Rule 80.3 are meaningless when cast against the zero-loophole text of Rule 78.4. Was the puck "put into the goal" by Sauer? Yes, the NHL War Room says it went off of him. That is the end of the logical discussion per rule 78.4.
There exists a contradiction in the NHL Rulebook in this case. Rule 80.3 wants to make provisions for when goals can be disallowed after being directed into the goal by a defender based on the height of the stick of the last attacker to touch it. Rule 78.4 clearly outlines that any such provision is irrelevant with it's positive logical absolute.
I know the "intent" of the rule 78.4 is for what is known as an "own goal" situation. However the text of the rule does not make that stipulation. It simply states that in "any way" a defender puts the puck into his own net, the goal shall be awarded to the last attacker to touch in, in this case, Matt Cooke.
The NHL needs to reword Rule 78.4 to state that the exceptions of Rule 80 should be applied, but until it does the goal should have counted.

To commemorate the 45th anniversary of NS, MINDEF and MHA will provide about $100 million worth of SAFRA and HomeTeamNS benefits to more than 900,000 National Servicemen. This is a one-off recognition initiative to thank our National Servicemen for their dedicated service to the nation.
As a broad-based and inclusive initiative, all who have served NS or are serving NS will benefit from this. Every National Serviceman will receive $50 to $100 worth of SAFRA/HomeTeamNS vouchers, which can be used to redeem lifestyle privileges.
In addition, National Servicemen who are currently serving Operationally Ready National Service (ORNS), or who have completed their ORNS training cycle in full, will also be offered a year's free SAFRA or HomeTeamNS membership. We hope that more National Servicemen and their families will be able to enjoy the subsidised facilities and privileges offered by SAFRA and HomeTeamNS.
National Servicemen will be eligible for these benefits based on their NS status as at 22 Oct 2012. The details are as follows:

I ordered these stools for kitchen counter.. they are a good value for the money you pay for 3 of them. They are easy to assemble and are relatively nice.. some of the metal on the chairs is dented a little bit but this is because of how they are made and the metal used (I would think all of them would have this) -- but the dents are NOT that noticible unless your really looking. The dents are on the Back part of the chairs. The seats are Beige color (in pix on line they looked more green than tan) -- but they are Tan/Beige. The metal of the chairs is a dark chocalate bronze look.
These stools look cheap and just okay (just what you pay for). Easy to put together. Wobbly. I had to put plastic in one of the rubber leg covers to stop the wobble. Also, anyone too heavy ( I am 5'6", 135 lbs.) will give these stools a run for their money. They are okay for the time being, until I want to pay more money for better looking and sturdier stools.
If I had to do it all over again I would probably have saved money and purchased higher quality bar stools.
Neither my husband nor I (who each have done extensive house remodeling and are both handy) could get all of these chairs level. Maybe one is level... the other two rock because of uneveness in leg height. The cloth cleaned easily when some friends' kids spilled something. The welding on the back of one of the three was shoddy aorund the back of the cushion. The metal didn't even meet itself to close and there was a hole. Overstock sent a replacement stool at no cost. I like the option to take off the leg extenders and the bar-height stools would be regular chair-height. We have these sitting at our bar in the kitchen but take them into the dining room as extra chairs around our counter-height dining room table, when necessary.
I am very pleased with the barstools. They are exactly as shown, at a great price and the optional heights make them perfect for either the kitchen bar or to use in counter areas.
It is value for money. I have this for a year now and have not faced any issue with the set.
My daughter assembled the chairs for me and said it was quite easy. They look great.
I love that these chairs can be adjusted to 2 different heights! When buying for a counter height island, I wasn't sure which height I would want so it was great to have both options. I ended up going with the taller height as it is perfect for my 3 and 5 yr olds to sit at the island and eat without any booster. My husband and I don't mind sitting on the taller height either although we aren't that tall 5'5" and 5'7". I could imagine taller people would need to use them on the shorter setting. The chairs are all a little wobbly and not terribly sturdy but they get the job done! The metal work on the back support of a couple of the chairs has a few blemishes on it but only noticeable when you look closely. They are very nice looking chairs and they clean up well which was a MUST with children. All the other chairs I liked online were twice this price for one chair so I was delighted to find 3 chairs for this price! I don't expect them to last forever, but for that price, it's no big deal!
Love the style of the bar stools, they match my existing furniture perfectly. Putting the chairs together were somewhat easy, had to play with the stability of the legs a bit. Bar stools look great.

The Boston Bar Foundation (BBF) today announced $1,052,500 in grants to 25
legal services providers. With a significant decline in Interest on Lawyers
Trust Account (IOLTA) funds, only 75 percent of each grant will come from
IOLTA funds. The remaining 22 percent will come from the proceeds of the BBF's
2010 Adams Ball and 3 percent from the proceeds of the BBF's Casey Fund.
"These are challenging economic times," said BBF President Shaw McDermott.
"Resources from IOLTA have been limited by the combined factors of the decline
in business transactions and extraordinarily low interest rates. The BBF has
stretched to add its own additional resources to the funding mix. Yet, in this
environment a decision to say 'yes' to one grant proposal of necessity involves
a decision to say 'no' to another. Fortunately the BBF Grants Committee is
blessed with highly skilled and experienced volunteers who make their
recommendations based on a screening and evaluation process honed over
decades." Among the grantees are core legal services providers,
so-called multi-issue providers where legal services are just one component of a
comprehensive menu of services provided to low-income people, and organizations
focusing on single issues such as housing, education, domestic violence or
"Each year, we make very tough decisions based on our knowledge of the legal
services landscape and thorough research of relevant issues," said BBF Grants
Committee chair Toni Wolfman. "We take seriously our responsibility to ensure
that this money is being distributed in a manner that will most effectively
provide critically important legal services to low-income families, children and
individuals in the Boston Area."

The most popular sodas — including this extensive list from Coca-Cola and all carbonated sodas from Pepsi Co. — are considered gluten-free to 20 parts per million.
Fruit juices also are gluten-free, providing they're made with 100% real fruit. Therefore, orange juices and other citrus juices you find in the dairy section should be safe (although some sensitive people report reacting to some orange juices).
Fruit drinks, on the other hand, aren't made completely with fruit, and may contain some gluten ingredients — you'll need to check with the manufacturer before purchasing to be certain whether they're safe or not.
Unflavored coffees and teas are gluten-free, but some flavored coffees and teas (especially herbal teas) contain gluten — check ingredients lists or steer clear. Some blended coffee drinks are safe and some are not, so again, you'll need to check the ingredients. When I'm at a coffee house, I order a latté or a cappuccino, both of which contain only milk and espresso.
Gluten-Free Alcoholic Beverages
If you're shopping for beer, you need to stick with gluten-free beer; other beers contain barley, which is a gluten grain and therefore unsafe on a gluten-free diet. Wine should be safe (unless you're particularly sensitive); here's some more information on Is Wine Gluten-Free?.
When it comes to gluten-free alcohol, there's some debate over whether alcoholic beverages derived from gluten grains, such as whiskey and gin, are safe or not. I personally can't drink them without a major reaction, and I'm not alone — plenty of people report reactions to gluten grain alcohol.
Fortunately, rum, tequila and gluten-free vodka made from potatoes or grapes all should be okay to drink.
One more thing: you'll need to make sure any mixers you use for your drinks are gluten-free ... some aren't.

It seems like just about every event we make fun of announcers for their inconsistencies, biases, and flat out stupidity. A day doesn't go by where I don't see someone making a post in Mike Goldberg Yoda style on this site. We probably spend no less than 40% of Strikeforce events making fun of Mauro Ranallo and the crew.
On a more positive note, what are some of the best calls our sport has seen? Every sport has them, from baseball's "The Giants won the pennant! The Giants won the pennant!" or "I don't believe what I just saw!" to football's "He did it! He did it! Flutie did it!" or my personal favorite "Do you believe in miracles? Yes!" in the 1980 Olympic hockey semifinals.
We don't really have many, since all of the calls seem to be "OHHHH" by Joe Rogan or "THE BIG KIBOSH" or "GOOD NIGHT IRENE" by Michael Schiavello or various loud, incoherent yelling and general ass-hattery by the Strikeforce crew. What are some of your favorites? Surprisingly, I like Goldberg's call of Jon Jones finish of Shogun, "Jon Jones is the youngest champion in UFC history!"

Tonight's Threshold was the best yet -- the cast has never worked better together, the plot was inventive (with a rather interesting occurence of the alien signal), and the dialogue was strong throughout. And the story really focused well on the characters, with lots of strong interaction and genuinely funny humour. They reused two previous guest stars to great benefit for the plot, and Molly had to face her toughest decision yet, which was handled very well. With all that AND a bioformed monster cat, this could turn out to be a very good series yet.

Local daycare facilities are celebrating the Week of the Young Child this week to bring public attention on the needs of young children and their families, and to recognize the early childhood programs and services that meet those needs.
Blessing Child Care Center kicked off the festivities on Sunday with a spring concert. Monday brought parents and a child's "special person" to the facility to spend time with kids.
"The kids love it. They love having their parents come and eat lunch with them and special people come and have snacks with them and take pictures. It's a fun week," said Betty Sprague, classroom coordinator.
The festivities continue for the rest of the week, including Health and Fitness Day on Wednesday and Family Read Night on Friday.

Chances are you would have wasted your time with a band called 'Brutal Gore Fuckers' no matter what.
I hate the genre fagdance as much as anybody, but it makes sense for the reasons Infinity almost articulated. And listing a few existing, recognizable genres to give an impression about the areas the music touches upon is preferable to coining new genre names that tell you nothing about the music because it's easier than giving a helpful description. More helpful would be the specific bands whose influences you think you hear, but, generally speaking, even this would only be mildly helpful and would always lead back to the requirement that 'you have to hear it.' Art criticism fucking sucks and it's a shame we need it.

Former USDA Official Shirley Sherrod Is Keynote Speaker for ODU's Martin Luther King Jr. Day Program
The keynote speaker for Old Dominion University's 27th annual observance of Martin Luther King Jr. Day is someone who has spent her career working on racial justice issues, and who ended up getting caught up in today's complex racial politics in America.
In July 2010, Shirley Sherrod was forced to resign from her position as Georgia State Director of Rural Development for the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) after conservative blogger Andrew Breitbart posted video excerpts on his website of a Sherrod address at an NAACP event. According to Breitbart, her comments showed how a federally appointed executive racially discriminated against a white farmer.
The video set off a storm of controversy and criticism of Sherrod. Subsequent events showed that the posted video was taken out of context and, in fact, was a part of broader comments that conveyed a completely different meaning. The NAACP apologized for its critical comments, and her boss at the USDA also apologized, offering her another job, which she declined.
Sherrod will speak about this issue, as well as other events in her life that have helped shape her beliefs in racial justice and equality, at ODU's MLK Day event at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, Jan. 19, in Webb Center.
Sherrod was born in Baker County, Ga., on Nov. 20, 1947, to Grace and Hosea Miller. When she was 17, her father, a deacon at the local Baptist church, was shot to death by a white farmer, reportedly over a dispute about livestock. No charges were returned against the shooter by an all-white grand jury. The tragic murder had a profound impact on Sherrod's life and led to her decision to stay in the South to help bring about change.
She attended Fort Valley State College for two years before transferring to Albany State College, where she received a bachelor's degree. There she studied sociology, while also working for civil rights with the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee, and met her future husband, the Rev. Charles Sherrod.
During the 1960s, Sherrod and her husband helped to form several land trusts in Southwest Georgia, in particular, New Communities Inc., a collective farm she co-founded in 1969. Located in Lee County, Ga., the 6,000-acre project was the largest tract of black-owned land in the United States. It was a laboratory and model for community land trusts, designed to provide an equitable and sustainable model of affordable housing and community development while providing African American farmers the opportunity to farm land securely and affordably.
The project soon encountered difficulties in the form of opposition by area white farmers, who accused participants of being communists, and also from segregationist Democratic Gov. Lester Maddox, who prevented development funds for the project from entering the state. A drought in the 1970s, fertilizer suppliers selling the Sherrods inferior products and their inability to get timely government loans led to the project's ultimate demise. Sherrod went on to work with the Federation of Southern Cooperatives to help black farmers keep their land.
She earned a master's degree in community development from Antioch University through the Rural Development Leadership Network. The individualized master's program allowed community activists in rural areas to continue their work for their local communities while earning a degree. She completed her master's work in 1989.
Sherrod later served on the board of the Rural Development Leadership Network. She resigned from the board after accepting a position with the USDA in 2009, as the Georgia state director of rural development. She was the first black person to hold that position.

MLB v Cape Cod League
NY Times: In Cape Cod League, It's Tradition vs. Trademark:
Now, Cape Cod teams are being forced to choose between maintaining a link with the major leagues and remaining true to their homespun heritage. In the case of the Chatham Athletics, homespun is winning out. The team has changed its name to the Anglers to sidestep a trademark dispute with Major League Baseball. The teams have a Nov. 1 deadline to abandon their names or purchase team uniforms and merchandise exclusively through licensed vendors.
The article reports that 1 in 6 major leaguers played in the Cape Cod League at one time.
Thequestion as to the extent to which a trademark owner, for example a franchisor, is able to obligate a licensee to purchase goods from a certain supplier, is an interesting one. If you're aware of good articles on a 'tying analysis' of trademark license, please provide a cite in the comments.
Example Of Franchise Agreement For Ice Cream Chain
I'm assuming that plaintiff, Cold Stone Creamery, is alleging that defendant, a former franchisee, breached its franchise agreement in such a way that continued use constitutes trademark infringement. There is a problem with the ECF filing here as only the first three pages of the complaint are on Pacer. In any event, the exhibit, the Cold Stone franchise agreement is reproduced and is of interest.

Last Saturday, 38-year-old New York City Vindalee Smith was on the brink of new happiness — she was due to give birth to her fifth child in a few weeks; the next day she was to be married. Instead, she was found brutally murdered in her apartment, and a note from the murderer sent shockwaves across the nation.
Smith was found lying in a pool of blood having suffered fatal knife wounds to her neck. Underneath her bloody body, police found an envelope containing a printed page reading: "I will kill 1 pregnant woman a month starting now until Lee Boyd Malvo is set free!" The letter was signed by "the apprentice" and punctuated with a smiley-face.
Lee Boyd Malvo was the young accomplice in the famed DC Sniper case that paralyzed the nation's capitol for three weeks in October 2002. Ten people were killed and three more injured during the spree. When the DC Snipers were caught and tried, Malvo told jurors that had they not been caught, they would have entered a second phase of their plan featuring the targeting of a pregnant woman.
The death of Vindalee Smith and her fetus reawakened memories of the terror. Police have not ruled anyone out as a suspect — including Smith's fiance Anthony Jackman, who was arrested on an unrelated false registration for a vehicle charge shortly after the murder. The Daily News reported that Jackman has been arrested 14 times before Smith's murder. Police also said that Jackman had not been officially divorced from a previous wife, so his marriage to Smith would have been invalid.
Forensic tests are currently being performed on blood and fingerprints found at the scene. Investigators believe the Malvo note may have been a red herring meant to set police on a wild goose chase.
John Allen Mohammad, the mastermind behind the sniper attacks, was put to death in 2009. The 27-year-old Malvo, now serving a life sentence without the possibility of parole in Virginia, recently opened up in a Washington Post interview. "I was a monster," Malvo told the paper. "If you look up the definition, that's what a monster is. I was a ghoul. I was a thief. I stole people's lives. I did someone else's bidding just because they said so. . . . There is no rhyme or reason or sense."
With age, Malvo has come to feel remorse for his crimes. Later in the interview, he implored his victims' families to forget him. That task was made just a little harder this week.

A 31-year veteran with the Columbus Police Department was found dead in his home earlier this morning.
Coroner Buddy Bryan says 51-year-old Vince Pasko was the officer found dead of a gunshot...no foul play is suspected.
This is the third death for the Columbus Police Department this summer.
Mayor Teresa Tomlinson talked with NBC 38 and says they are expanding grief counseling services.
"Vince was somebody I knew very well, worked with on pension reform. He was on our pension board. All three of these officers that we've lost this summer have been individuals who didn't just punch the clock. They served on committees and boards and things to make the lives and professional experiences of their colleagues better, and they've volunteered themselves time and time again. Vince did on the pension board and in so many different ways. He was sort of my "go to" person for issues on how things might affect public safety personnel," Mayor Tomlinson says.
Chief Boren spoke briefly with WLTZ this afternoon describing Pasko as highly intelligent and a loyal officer who will be greatly missed.

Next generation of entrepreneurs given financial boost
The £30 million boost to the Government's start-up loans scheme will give the next generation of entrepreneurs the finance and support to start their own business, helping Britain to get ahead in the global race.
The additional money will boost the total pot for start-up loans to over £110 million over the next three years, potentially helping to start tens of thousands of new businesses.
The Prime Minister also announced that due to demand from those who had just missed out on the scheme, and the challenges faced to secure loans to start a business, the age limit for application will now be extended from 24 to 30 years old.

Technology and media should help us learn, connect, work and create. It should be an easy and delightful experience. So why is it often difficult, ugly, impersonal or irrelevant?
People are realizing design is key to solving these problems, but are still learning how to employ it successfully.
In my experience successful projects have these 6 principles in common:
Design is in the bones. It starts with how it works. It isn't just adding a pretty skin afterwards.
Trust your designer. Don't mistake fashion or personal preference for design. Good design is never arbitrary.
Challenge your designer. If the current solution doesn't achieve your goals, rather than coming up with your own solution, explain your concerns to your designer.
Put users' needs first. Doing what's easiest to implement doesn't always lead to success.
The devil is in the details. Be sure they don't get lost during implementation.
If you run into problems later, go back to your designer. Don't shoehorn-in a half-thought-out solution.

Mutual Interest Between The Knicks and Lawrence Frank?
From what we've been hearing, D'Antoni personally likes Frank and there is a strong mutual interest there for many reasons. . . . Frank, unlike most, would likely be amenable to accepting a one-year contract because it gives him the freedom to continue to look for head coaching jobs. Frank might also prefer New York over returning to Boston for proximity reasons, as well, because he could be home full-time in New Jersey, where his wife and two daughters remained last season when he worked for the Celtics.

A Cooperstown production of the "The Laramie Project," a play inspired by a brutal hate crime and its aftermath over a decade ago, opens today.
"I think it's important that people know the story," said Rebecca Burk-Sciallo, co-director of the Cooperstown production of "The Laramie Project." "There are hate crimes happening every day in the world."
In 1998, Matthew Shepard, an openly gay, 21-year-old student at the University of Wyoming, was offered a ride home by Aaron McKinney and Russell Henderson. Instead, they drove Shepard to a remote location where he was robbed, tortured and pistol whipped, after which he was left tied to a fence. Shepard was found eighteen hours later in a coma and died of his injuries after five days.
At McKinney's trial, it was revealed that hatred of Shepard's sexual orientation was a motivator in the crime. McKinney and Henderson were both sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole, and Shepard's case became a rallying cry for supporters of hate-crimes legislation.
The Matthew Shepard and James Byrd, Jr. Hate Crimes Prevention Act, which was signed into law in 2009 and expands the federal definition of a hate crime to include sexual orientation, gender identity, gender and disability, is partly named after him.
In the aftermath of Shepard's murder, playwright Moisés Kaufman and members of the Tectonic Theater Project traveled to Laramie to interview members of the community. These interviews, which number over 200, along with the company members' journal entries and excerpts from McKinney's trial form the basis of "The Laramie Project." Premiering in 2000, it has been performed frequently and world-wide.
"It really is a collection of monologues and moments from the actual people who lived in Laramie at the time," said Burk-Sciallo.

Forehands can be hit with grips ranging from Continental to beyond full Western. This range spans over 135 degrees of change in the angle formed between the plane of the palm and the plane of the string bed. (See Photo Tour of the Forehand Grips.)
In the last thirty years, the average position of pro forehand grips has evolved from between Eastern and Continental to fully Semi-Western. These grip changes have been an integral part of the trend toward increasing power and topspin. Generally, as the grip moves from Continental toward Western, the player finds it easier to generate topspin and handle high balls, but harder to generate slice and handle low balls.
Players like Stan Smith, who used a grip halfway between Eastern and Continental typical of his late 60s contemporaries, hit with considerably less topspin than, for example, Gustavo Kuerten, who hits with a Western grip. Smith also met the ball usually at or below waist height, while Kuerten meets the average ball closer to chest height.
In Smith's era, grass tournaments were much more prevalent than today, and a more Continental style was suited both to handling the low bounces on grass and generating slice to accentuate that low bounce. Many of the players who have found their greatest success on the Wimbledon grass, such as Martina Navratilova and Jana Novotna, have used forehand grips similar to Smith's, but a little closer to Eastern.
Now, with more tournaments on courts that produce higher bounces (clay and hard), Semi-Western and Western grips prevail. It's no surprise that Gustavo Kuerten has done much better on the French Open clay than on the Wimbledon grass.
Another factor in the evolution toward more Western grips is racquet technology. Hitting the heavy topspin for which the Semi- and full Western grips are designed requires a quick brushing action that is much easier with the light weight and large string beds of modern racquets.
Will grips continue to evolve more toward the Western?
The average of all forehand grips on the pro tours should move somewhat West as the older, more Eastern players like Novotna retire and are replaced by youngsters who grew up emulating more Western styles, but the remaining shift will be brief and slight. Racquets have gotten as light as they can while still having enough mass to hit effectively, and the courts of the future are unlikely to bounce any higher, on average, than those of today. Furthermore, most players find it pretty tough to get a forehand over the net with a grip more Western than the current Semi-Western average.
For some interesting details on this topic, check out this study relating grips and topspin.

With a killer career and stunning girlfriend, Ryan Gosling has much to be thankful for as he celebrates his 33rd birthday.
The "Lars and the Real Girl" hunk recently learned that he has a lookalike who lives in Perth, Australia name Grant Hazell, and the resemblance is uncanny.

The franchise already has millions of fans worldwide, but Star Wars may gain a whole new lady base if the recent rumors are true.
On Wednesday (July 24), news broke that Zac Efron and Ryan Gosling are reportedly in talks to be a part of the upcoming flick, "Star Wars: Episode VII."

She's never been a traditionalist, so it's no wonder Demi Lovato departs from the norm when it comes to the men who catch her eye.
In a new interview, the "Heart Attack" singer confessed that just doesn't get why ladies swoon over Ryan Gosling and Channing Tatum.
Building up the pre-release hype, "Only God Forgives" just debuted a new international teaser trailer for all to enjoy.
And with a cast that includes heavy hitters like Ryan Gosling and Kristen Scott Thomas, this flick isn't for the faint of heart.
Shedding a little more light on the thriller ahead of next month's release, RADiUS-TWC released a new trailer for "Only God Forgives."
In the crime drama, Julian, a drug smuggler thriving in Bangkok's criminal underworld, sees his life get even more complicated when his mother compels him to find and kill whoever is responsible for his brother's recent death.
Amping up excitement for it's summer release, a new poster featuring Ryan Gosling was released via Yahoo! movies for "Only God Forgives" on Thursday (June 13).
The one page photo, which shows a side profile of the hunky 32-year-old actor wearing a white t-shirt, follows another poster that was released last week featuring co-star Kristin Scott Thomas.

It's not often that celebs are spotted in the Midwest, so when Ryan Gosling brought his directorial debut to Detroit, Michigan, it caused quite a stir.
Seizing the opportunity, local radio station 95.5 Mojo decided to play a prank on starstruck Michiganders who thought the 32-year-old hunk was taking a break from directing "How to Catch a Monster."
Working behind the camera instead of in front of it for a change, Ryan Gosling directed Christina Hendricks on the set of "How to Catch a Monster" in Detroit, Michigan on Wednesday (June 5).
The "Notebook" star discussed the current scene with the "Mad Men" beauty who wore a long green trench coat.

Could a Pill Protect Like a Condom?
March 2, 2001 -- Although condoms may have their drawbacks, they are effective when used properly in preventing both pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases. But what if a single pill could protect against both? New research reported in the March 2 issue of Science helps explain how the body fights STDs and may hold the key to developing contraceptives for men that enhance these defense mechanisms.
"A condom in pill form is the final goal of my research," scientist Yong-Lian Zhang, PhD, tells WebMD. "This report is just the beginning." Zhang is a professor of molecular biology at the Shanghai Institute for Biological Sciences of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
Zhang and his colleagues discovered a fragment of rat DNA that codes for a unique protein called Bin1b. This protein resembles in structure and function other immune system regulators called defensins, which kill bacteria, viruses, and other infectious agents. Unlike the other defensins, Bin1b is found only in the epididymis, a male sex organ involved in sperm production.
"Both the male and female reproductive tract are open to the outside and are consequently subject to challenge by a variety of infectious organisms," Ken Roberts, PhD, tells WebMD. "It makes sense that nature would provide a mechanism of defense against these challenges." Roberts, who was not involved in the study, is an assistant professor of urologic surgery at the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis.
"While the protein they are studying is in the epididymis and has antibacterial effects, the claim of it being a condom in pill form is very premature," Joe Scobey, PhD, tells WebMD after reviewing the study. He is a cell biologist at the University of Pittsburgh.
"A condom provides two functions in that it is used as both a contraceptive and a prophylactic," Michael A. Laing, PhD, a molecular biologist at McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario, tells Web MD. "The authors have only addressed its function as an antimicrobial and only in a very limited way. It would be premature to suggest that Bin1b has the potential to be used as a contraceptive."
Sexually transmitted bacteria and viruses, including the HIV virus that causes AIDS, collect in the epididymis, where Bin1b may act as a natural defense. Additional evidence for this role is that inflammation of the epididymis, which is associated with STDs, increases levels of Bin1b. The researchers also found that Bin1b killed bacteria in culture.
"I do not think the antimicrobial activity is the sole function of this gene in the epididymis," says Zhang, who is continuing to study Bin1b's role in fertility.
As levels of Bin1b increase during sexual maturation and decrease during aging, it may be important in fertility by affecting sperm maturation, storage, and protection. Drugs that act on Bin1b might therefore be useful as male contraceptives while protecting against STDs -- at least in rats.

The Memory Stories installation represents the core myths and stories that are passed orally through generations across cultures and continents. These stories exist in our collective memory. Many of them have been subsumed by religions or subjugated by our romance with science. As these myths and stories disappear, what will replace them? In this work I deliberately push the edge of two-dimensions by using the thinnest of surfaces, Chinese rice paper and fine silk fabric, separating them from the wall and freeing them from the limits of the frame. These materials embody both the vulnerability of myth and its enduring nature. The rice paper represents the art traditions of the East and oil paint represents Western tradition. I suspend the scrolls in air, so the images swirl and dance in time and space, or I intertwine them with natural materials to connect them with the beginnings of language.

Guide For Allergy Symptoms
- Details
- Parent Category: Health & Beauty
- Category: Health
Guide For Allergy SymptomsAn allergy is a symptom of a malfunction of the immune system in the body causing a person to respond to a certain substance in a hypersensitive way (causing the allergic reactions). Allergy relief can be offered by different types of medication, avoiding the typical substances or surroundings (or even pets) causing the allergy. Allergy symptoms are wide ranging but the most common symptoms are:
Differences between allergy, intolerance and sensitivity
Allergy: Proper allergies are caused by the body's response to a certain, usually harmless, substance. The immune system tries to fight off the body's oversensitive reaction to the substance and tries to fight it, causing symptoms that are typical for allergies in the process. Allergy symptoms can usually be treated with allergy medicine. A doctor can prescribe the best allergy treatment for people with serious allergies and most of those people benefit from allergy medications.
Intolerance: Intolerance is an extreme sensitivity to a type of food, substance or drug, but the response to the substance has nothing to do with the body's immune system. Symptoms can be like those of an allergic reaction but allergy testing will more often than not show that the patient is merely suffering from intolerance. Intolerance reactions of the body can usually be delayed and this is not the cause with typical allergic reactions.
Sensitivity: More and more people suffer from adverse reactions of the body to the chemicals surrounding us (think of chemicals and pollution in the air, smoke, cleaning products and beauty products, soap and many more products). People can grow sensitive to these substances and the sensitivity can cause (often fairly mild) allergic symptoms such as itchy skin, headaches or a rash on the skin.
Symptoms of allergies
As allergies can cause more symptoms than just a runny nose or an itchy throat and watery eyes, there are many signs to look out for when you suspect that you might be suffering from an allergy. More often than not allergy patients will also experience a feeling of a raised body temperature doing allergy attacks. Other symptoms are:
Sneezing: Sneezing is caused by irritation of the tissue in the nose, prompted by the defence mechanism of the body during an allergy attack. The body's immune system is alarmed because a substance that it has developed intolerance for is on or close to the body. By sneezing the body is trying to get rid of the allergen.
Wheezing: Wheezing, an allergic reaction likened to asthma attacks, can make breathing difficult for a short period of time. Allergy testing and an investigation into the symptoms of your possible allergy can help to define whether you are dealing with asthma or an allergy.
Sinus pain: A headache with a lot of pain and a sense of pressure behind the forehead and the eyes.
A runny nose: Caused by excessive sneezing and irritated nose.
Itchy or red eyes: Airborne allergens such as dust and pollen come in contact with the eyes, causing an allergic reaction of red, watery and itchy eyes. Allergy relief is available in the form of eye drops containing antihistamines.
