With four days left in the month, it's no time to stay on the sidelines in Streak for the Cash. Fortunately, there's a solid board featuring a good variety of matchups throughout the day and into the Sweet 16 tonight. The PGA Shell Houston Open gets us started with Euroleague basketball, Spring Training baseball, and tennis from Miami taking us up to the four NCAA Tournament games tonight. There's also some NHL and NBA options tonight if you'd prefer to forget your busted bracket and pick something else.
Here's the picks I'm watching today:
3/28 Streak Picks
8:50- Hunter Mahan or Tie: Mahan's matched up with Phil Mickelson in this nine-hole prop. Both are on my fantasy golf team for the week (full post here) and both have a great history at this event. Only because he's getting the tie, I'll go with Mahan. Confidence Meter: 4
12:40- 149 Points or Fewer: The line is 149.5 as Real Madrid takes on CSKA Moscow in the Euroleague. Nine of the 12 Top 16 games Real Madrid has played have been under and six of the 12 played by CSKA Moscow have been under. The last time these teams met the score was over but only because overtime was needed. Confidence Meter: 3
1:05- 7 Games or Fewer: After surviving Sara Errani upset bid yesterday, Maria Sharapova takes on Jelena Jankovic. Jankovic needed three sets to oust Roberta Vinci in her last match, but has only beat Sharapova twice in eight tries. They haven't played in the last two years, but only in one of their five hard court matches has the number been over. Sharapova is rolling and her last two tournaments, 10 matches, only twice has she lost eight games. Confidence Meter: 4 1/2
1:50- Keegan Bradley or Tie: In another matchup of two players on my fantasy golf team, Bradley gets the tie as he faces Rory McIlroy. McIlroy hasn't been in great form lately, but did have a good final round at the Cadillac the last time out. Bradley finished well just last week and has a better history at this event. Getting the tie, he's a solid pick to get the green in this one. Confidence Meter: 5
3:10- 21 Games or More: Murray has won his last five head-to-head matchups with Marin Cilic. At the US Open, Cilic took the first set last year before losing three in a row. They met last year at Wimbledon two with Murray winning in straight sets. In each of their last three meetings, Cilic has forced a tie-breaker or taken a set which should be enough to take this prop. Confidence Meter: 4
7:15- Miami winning Margin: The Miami Hurricanes take on the Marquette Golden Eagles in the first NCAA Tournament game of the day. Miami is favored by 5 1/2 while Marquette averages just 4.2 three-pointers made per game. Miami barely got past Illinois, but their guards will ultimately be too much for Marquette. This could be close, but since Marquette hits so few three-pointers, ultimately I think Miami covers. Confidence Meter: 6
7:47- Ohio State Buckeyes: The Buckeyes are 3 1/2 point favorites as they take on Arizona in their sweet 16 matchup. OSU is playing extremely well having rolled through the Big 10 tournament and their first game before almost letting their last one get away before Aaron Craft came up huge. While Arizona is playing well to, I think Ohio State is getting the contributions is scoring from across their lineup and should be able to overcome an athletic Wildcat team. Ohio State has won 10 in row, but could be playing in a hostile environment since the game's in LA which should draw plenty of fans from 'Zona. This will be an exciting, entertaining, and close game, but I'm ultimately going to take the Buckeyes to pull it out. Confidence Meter: 4
8:00- LA Kings: The Blues have struggled a bit losing three of their last four including a loss at home in their last game to Edmonton. At the same time, the Kings are coming in starting to gain momentum including an impressive 5-4 win on the road at Chicago on Monday. LA has won seven in a row over the Blues including a 4-1 win at St. Louis earlier this season. Since the game is in St. Louis, it's no lock as the Blues look to turn things around, but I think LA is gathering steam at the right time and should be able to power past the Blues as the teams continue to jockey for playoff positioning. Confidence Meter: 6
8:30- LA Lakers: The Lakers are playing on back-to-back nights after holding on for a three-point win in Minnesota last night. They've struggled on the road going just 14-23 away from the Staples center, but the Bucks have been struggling themselves having lost four in a row and seven of their last nine. Brandon Jennings was benched for the 4th quarter last night in Philadelphia and had some pretty harsh words for Coach Jim Boylan. The Bucks look on the brink of collapse and the Lakers badly need the win. Dwight Howard has also had quite a bit of success against them, so I think LA gets the win even though it's a back-t0-back on the road. Confidence Meter: 5
9:30- Edmonton Oilers: Their last time out, the Oilers knocked off the Blues in St. Louis and now get to return home to host Columbus in a matchup of two teams trying to crack into the postseason for the first time in years. The Oilers have been solid at home (5-5-4) although they haven't played many games at Rexall Place. Columbus has played more home games and are 10-4-5 but have struggled to just 3-9-2 on the road which they'll be tonight. Edmonton has won the last four times Columbus has come to town, and with the Blue Jackets still continuing to struggle scoring, I think they'll be able to get a close win overcoming the Jackets hot goalie Sergei Bobrovsky. Confidence Meter: 4 1/2
9:45- Indiana Winning Margin: The Hoosiers have an interesting prop here as its not the number of three's that Syracuse makes but the number of PLAYERS that make a three against Indiana's winning margin. Both teams have looked strong in their first two matchups, but the Hoosiers come in as 5 1/2 point favorites. As a fan of the Orange, I hope we can pull off the upset. The reason I don't think that's the smart pick here is that only three or four players usually make three-pointers, and if the Orange hit a scoring drought Indiana could pull away. The Orange haven't played well from behind this season, so unless you think they pull the upset, I'd take the Hoosiers winning margin. Confidence Meter: 6
10:17- Wichita State Winning Margin or tie: The Shockers lived up to their name knocking off the first #1 seed to be bounced in the tournament as they took down Gonzaga in the last round. They come into tonights action as 4-point favorites over the La Salle Explorers. La Salle played three games in five days last week to get this far, but their four guard lineup may not work against Wichita State. The Shockers were impressive on both sides of the ball while La Salle was clutch, winning their last two games by a total of four points, but won't be able to keep up with the revitalized Shockers behind returning guard Ron Baker. Confidence Meter: 5
10:30- San Jose Sharks: The Sharks and Wings are both playing well as they meet tonight in San Jose at the HP Pavilion. The Wings have won five of their last six behind a potent powerful play and have won their last five games on the road. As good as the Wings have been on the road, the Sharks are also excellent at home compiling a 9-1-4 record on the year including a 4-0 beatdown of Anaheim last night. San Jose has gotten the better of the recent head-to-head series winning six of their last eight matchups with Detroit even though the Wings got a W earlier this season. Detroit's goaltender Jimmy Howard has been especially Shark-bit having lost his lave five starts against San Jose with a 4.06 GAA. Confidence Meter: 4

From sad to glad
I went from being stunned and saddened Monday of last week to being extremely happy on Friday – all concerning the same topic.
First, I received word March 26 that the Laurel Leader-Call was closing.

Vietnam Veterans Day
Did anyone (besides Bill Janssen and buddies at the VFW) know that it was Vietnam Veterans Day March 29? I didn't.
A day or so before March 29, I got an email from my sister Jackie -- Barbara Walters on Jane Fonda. Barbara Walters does not like Jane Fonda and is upset that Fonda is being named one of the "100 Women of the Century."

Madison is officially a dream town according to the recent edition of Outside Magazine.
The magazine picked 18 dream towns across the U.S. and described Madison as Berkeley with a bratwurst. According to the magazine some of the things that make Madison so dreamy are its 30 miles of paved trails and urban pleasures like thriving co-ops and ethnic restaurants. It also notes the 120 Bio Tech firms the city has launched in the past decade, largely because of the UW's influence.
The magazine tells its readers they'll love Madison if they like mom and apple pie, and a cheesehead Midwestern vibe served with a shot of costal hipness.

Installing Broadcom Wireless Driver Offline
Pinguy OS comes with many Wifi drivers pre-installed, but due to the way some Broadcom wireless drivers need to be installed they can't be pre-packaged into the distro. This is due to it recompiling the kernel. If it was pre-installed you would never be able to activate the driver.
This is a Catch-22 for many people. You need to be online to install the driver but you want to get online to install your wireless card.
Thankfully there is a way to download the driver on a computer thats online then copy it to your Pinguy OS system to install the driver.
Pinguy OS Blog: PinguyOS 10.04.3 Point Release
I am proud to announce the release of Pinguy 10.04.3 LTS, the second maintenance update to Pinguy OS 10.04 LTS release. This release includes installation DVDs for the i386 and amd64 architectures. Numerous updates have been integrated so that fewer updates will need to be downloaded after…
(via pinguyos)
Ping-Eee OS, Netbook Edition of Pinguy OS
This was built and compiled using the ASUS Eee Netbook and designed from the ground up to run on netbooks. This has more installed then the mini but less then the desktop version. Size of iso is 1.38GB and only comes in a 32-Bit version.
Best way to install this is to use UNetbootin.
Ping-Eee comes pre-installed with Jupiter and Rhythmbox has been replaced with Clementine. A few apps that come in the full version have been removed like gnome-do and Glipper. This was because they did use a lot of memory. Vineyard had to be removed also because of memory usage.
Pinguy OS Mini 11.04
After many requests I have spent the time to build a stripped down version of Pinguy OS.
This is a base version of the OS, it has all my tweaks optimization and fixes done to it. The look and feel of it is the same as the full version but it comes with very little installed in way of apps. It still has Docky, Conky, Mint menu, and Gloobus Preview. All the things so it looks the same as the full version but doesn't come with as many apps pre-installed. Apart from what I class as base apps it only comes with Mplayer, Firefox, Java, flash, gedit, terminal and the software center.
I wanted to strip as much out of the OS but still keep it so that all the content thats on the web works out of the box. Flash, java, divx ect.
Both the 32bit and 64bit are under 700MB. This version is for people that know what apps they want to install and don't like the idea of the full version, you pick what you want to installed.

A few people have asked me how they can backup their system so they will be able to re-install from it, or to be able to install it onto a different system. With this guide I will show you the steps needed to have a working installable distro built from your Pinguy OS system that will have all your settings and changes saved into it.

There has been a lot of speculation about which player on the Wizards roster will step up with Emeka Okafor being out of the lineup indefinitely. The only logical answer to the question that has been coming up is; Kevin Seraphin.
Seraphin took a giant step back from his sophomore season in the NBA, where it looked like he could potentially turn into Washington's big man of the future. Instead of taking ill-advised mid range jump shots, looking lost on defense, and just flat out being inefficient, Seraphin utilized the skills which earned him the opportunity to blossom. Unfortunately, Seraphin picked up some awful habits during his third year which put him in head coach Randy Wittman's dog house throughout the season.
Now that Okafor is out, Randy Wittman won't have many other options than to give Seraphin more of an opportunity to showcase his skills during this upcoming season. According to Wittman, Seraphin has looked great during the offseason, especially since he decided not to represent France in the EuroBasket tournament, but rather stay in the nation's capital to improve his game.
Kevin (Seraphin) is a more confident person in himself right now. He's had two years where he's played. Once you realize and believe that you belong, you carry yourself differently. I noticed that in him.
In theory, the Wizards should improve offensively with Kevin Seraphin in the lineup, especially since Okafor doesn't possess the back to the basket nor faceup game Seraphin has. He's already established his patented hook shot, now he needs to capitalize in the other situations opposing defenses put him in. I can recall too many times where Seraphin turned the ball over, simply because he didn't know what do to when double-teamed. Seraphin has the tools and capabilities to become a very good player in the NBA, especially since young big men tend to be raw offensively. In fact, players that have similar skill-sets to Kevin Seraphin have become a rarity in the NBA. It's important that Seraphin doesn't remain a liability defensively, since that's essentially the only way the Wizards could remain competitive without Okafor on the floor. The little things are what separates "good" players from "great ones". Even though he still lacks the awareness or ability to recognize when/when not to shoot, I think that could potentially change when he's sharing the court with John Wall and Nene.
Kevin Seraphin has taken advantage of opportunities in the past, and with Okafor gone, he'll definitely have to find a way to fill his new role with the team. Unlike some of the other forwards entering the final guaranteed season under their contract, Seraphin will probably be handed a larger opportunity than he got last season.
What are your thoughts on Kevin Seraphin? Do you think he will be able to adjust to his new role with the Wizards? Let me know in the comment section.

Eddsworld - Fun Dead
Eddsworld - Hide and Seek
I know I shouldn't be typing this out but.. I don't know what else to do.
I am desperately unhappy. I'm failing to run Eddsworld and the guilt is killing me. Grief has broken my spirit.
To you, the viewers, I'm sorry for the delays. I promised you so much and have consistently disappointed you. You gave me your trust, your patience and your money and I'm yet to come through with anything. You deserve a lot better and you WILL get it.
To my coworkers (Paul especially), I'm sorry I've been such a poor director/producer. You've been grounded by my lack of input for months now and people need to understand who is responsible.
Finally, to Edd, I'm sorry I've let you down, man. I can't do this without you. I'm just not strong enough.
Thank you all for waiting; I'm sorry you have to. Things will get better.
Until then,
- Tom

What Car? says
For The Vitara has excellent off-road ability, and there's a wide choice
Against The ride is bumpy, the car lacks grip, the diesel is weak, and there's limited rear cabin space
It's a proper junior off-roader, and fun around town, but it lacks its rivals' good manners on-road
Go for… Seven-seaters
Avoid… Diesels
- 1. Ensure engine has been serviced every 6000 miles
- 2. Watch out for off-road damage, particularly on the underside of the car
- 3. Ensure that important recall work to the suspension was completed
- 4. The boot is nice and deep, but load sill is a bit high
- 5. The cabin is roomy, but tight for three in the back

Next step was to research on the make-up.So, after taking a good look on the 80's make-up trends, I understood, that you can divide it in three parts:
The Rock chick
Big,dark eyebrows, black eye make-up and red lips.The full attire.The Barbie
Very bright eyeshadow and lips, and unnaturally pink blusher on cheeks.Looks very fake, just like te TOWIE cast nowadays.The Natural babe
Big, bushy eyebrows, minimal make-up on eyes, and bold lips.The prettiest of them all, but these sweethearts weren't the usual rock gig crowd.
So in the end I have decided to go for the rock chick look, but make it a little bit more pleasant to look at.Plus, my eyebrows would never grow like that.

Working across the full project lifecycle from strategy to delivery, our client focus on not only making change happen but making it one of success and sustainability.
The Opportunity
This fantastic niche consultancy really does offer something very different to the larger mainstream consultancies. Consultants can expect to manage the full spectrum of the project lifecycle, from design to delivery to implementation.

The ideal candidate will experience great autonomy and freedom in their client relationships and have responsibility for the successful delivery of each project. In addition, you can expect to gain exposure to a variety of cross sector Tier 1 clients and take full ownership of each relationship you build with those clients. You will be very much 'the face' of this consultancy. Fundamentally, they arrange themselves in a rather refreshingly non-hierarchical structure, simply being distinguished as Consultant or Partner and in doing so, removing any competition based on 'titles'.
The Ideal Candidate
- 6-10 years consulting experience
- Strong academics both at A-Level and University (2.1 or above from a reputable University)
- Strong communication and personable skills
- Self sufficient and highly motivated
- Experience in client facing roles from a Big 5 background or smaller consulting firm
- Sound project management skills either through leading sizeable projects or managing an element of a major programme
- Candidates from an IT background will be considered if they have experience of the requirements gathering phase and of managing delivery
In Return
- Excellent support and training from your fellow Consultants. If you have been away or have had an exceptional work load, those around you are there to help.
- Challenging but rewarding work for prestigious clients
- Work/ life Balance. Lengthy travel is avoided wherever possible and Consultants are always asked before any decisions are made
- Open Culture. Everyone is aware of how the firm is performing and where it is going. Regular social events such as evenings out, away weekends and corporate challenges
- Meritocracy. Everyone is rewarded on merit and can set their own objectives and personal development plans for their individual needs
- Accelerated career prospects. Every Consultant is provided with the opportunity to become a partner in a true partnership.

State highway officials blame a cocktail of factors for the repeated flooding of major Metro Detroit traffic arteries in recent weeks, and they�re making no promises that it won�t happen again.
An inch of rain that fell in parts of the region during the afternoon travel time swamped parts of several area freeways Tuesday � the third such occurrence this month.
�We�re always putting Band-Aids on what needs surgery,� MDOT spokeswoman Diane Cross said Wednesday. �We are piecemeal keeping our roads together. This is an example of what happens with that.�
The roads and supporting structures are aging; soil, plants and road debris have washed into and blocked drains, meaning flooding could become more common, she said. Furthermore, MDOT says 58 percent of freeway pump houses are in poor condition, which added to the difficulty of keeping below-grade highways free of massive ponds.
�We just need to realize that the freeways themselves are old and they aren�t designed to today�s standards, which include more storm drains, bigger storm drains, sloping sides that don�t allow soil and erosion into the roadway and drains,� Cross said.
MDOT employees are assessing catch basin drains, pumps and road conditions, but they do not have adequate money to fix them. There�s no indication that a logjam over highway funding is close to breaking after the state Senate rejected tax hikes that would have raised more than $1 billion for repairs.
Following an extremely harsh winter that busted road budgets, the state provided some additional money � $30 million � but it�s not enough, said Cross.
�This is what we mean when we talk about the need for funding,� she said. �Could we keep those catch basins clean every day? We could if we had enough money for that.�
On Tuesday, it was deja vu: Storms rolled in, rain fell down and Metro Detroit�s freeways began to flood at the height of the afternoon rush hour.
Some sections of Interstates 75 and 94, as well as the Lodge Freeway, were flooded until late evening. Metro Airport reported 0.55 inches of rain, but weather spotters in north Detroit and Grosse Pointe Farms reported 1.1 and 1.05 inches respectively.
Motorists expressed frustration over the repeated flooding.
�You would think if the system is all screwed up, maybe there should have been some road funding from the state months ago,� said Vaughn Derderian, co-owner of the Anchor Bar in downtown Detroit.
Derderian was on his way to work Tuesday afternoon when traffic screeched to a halt at the washed-out I-75/I-94 interchange. �I was two cars behind the flood ... somebody�s car was floating because they had tried to drive through it,� he said.
Sean Brown of Rochester Hills, who was delayed getting to the Tigers game at Comerica Park by flooding on I-75, said he�d be willing to pay more in taxes if that�s what it takes to keep the roads from flooding during rainstorms.
�I think rather than take the cheapest company to replace the roads, we should spend a little more so they can be repaired right and last longer,� he said.
Cross said Tuesday�s flooding and traffic backups were caused by a combination of specific events aggravated by existing infrastructure problems.
An accident during rush hour on I-96 shut down part of that freeway, diverting traffic onto other roads. At the same time, the rain began filling up low-lying areas on I-75 near the I-94 interchange to West Grand Boulevard and on I-94 between I-96 and Van Dyke. Adding to the problems, a pump station near I-94 and Gratiot failed after it lost power.
�By the time we determined that and could get a generator out there, we had hundreds of cars backed up and people had cars that needed to be towed out of water,� said Cross. �We also had our own crews searching the roads for catch basins to see if they were blocked.�
Trees were toppled and as many as 165,000 homes and businesses were without power. That number was pared to 30,000 customers late Wednesday. The hardest hit area was Wayne County, with 24,000 customers without power, while Oakland County had about 5,000, DTE said.
�DTE crews are working 16-hour shifts around the clock to restore service,� DTE spokesman Scott Simons said. �Approximately 110 additional crews from Michigan, Ohio and Indiana are arriving today to assist in the restoration effort.�

2012 IFRS Insurance Global Survey
International and independent analysis of responses from over 200 senior finance executives globally
The proposed changes in International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) 4 Phase II, IFRS 9 and the corresponding proposals in the United States are highly complex. Implementing them will require considerable time and expense.
So while the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) continue their deliberations on achieving a single global accounting framework, Deloitte commissioned the Economist Intelligence Unit to survey over 200 insurers operating across the globe to understand their views on the impact of the proposed changes on their business and what they are doing to prepare.
Key findings from the survey include:
- Overwhelming alignment of opinion across borders that insurers want a single global accounting framework.
- Uncertainty around the timetable for implementation is insurers' biggest concern stemming from the difficulties international and US accounting standard setters have had in meeting their own timetable, and their continuing disagreements on the new rules. This has resulted in most companies adopting a 'wait and see' approach, although some insurers are moving early in expectation of the high impact of the new standards on their business.
- Another top concern for insurers is the potential for increased 'earnings' and/or capital volatility under the new standard. Executives fear that the transition to the new rules will confuse investors, yet few companies have been talking to investors about this issue (Only 11 per cent of European companies and two per cent of US companies having started an investor engagement program).
- Insurers are concerned that the US will not adopt a consistent standard given the failure of the US Securities and Exchange Commission to be clear about whether it wants to adopt IFRS or not. Over two thirds (69 per cent) of respondents think the US should abandon its national accounting rules in favour of IFRS.
The full survey findings together with the in-depth views of finance leaders from five major insurers make for compelling reading and highlight how, as the standard setters attempt to implement a global reporting framework, the continued uncertainty in the timetable is leaving insurers playing a high-risk "waiting game".

Of all things, I've come down with arthritis of the collarbone (where it attaches to the chest). I've never heard of this before. Most of my friends have arthritis of the shoulders, hips, or hands. Am I a rare case?
Not too rare. The most common problem affecting this joint (called the sternoclavicular joint or SCJ) is osteoarthritis. Degenerative changes from aging make this a disease of the older adult.
Studies show more than half of all adults age 60 or older have moderate to severe arthritic changes in the SCJ. Part of this may be due to the fact that the SCJ is the only place where the bones attach the arms to the main skeleton. Anyone with a history of manual labor or overuse of the arms is at risk for this condition.
Some have painful symptoms, while others do not. Treatment is only needed when pain and loss of motion occur. Surgery is rarely needed. Most patients do well with rest, anti-inflammatory drugs, or local steroid injection.

Return to story
IN HIS Aug. 28 op-ed ["The 'x' factor: Do we all need to study algebra?"], Harry Jones concluded that students don't need to study algebra because once they have completed the course they never again have need for the information they learned.
His opinion may be influenced by his admission that he struggled through algebra courses in high school and college and was basically a "D student." Perhaps his opinion is also affected by a cynical humorist he admires, Fran Lebowitz, whom he reports as saying, "After high school there is no such thing as algebra." He was not quite accurate on the quote because references indicate that she said: "In real life, I assure you, there is no such thing as algebra."
My correction is not nit-picking. The inaccuracy amplifies a cavalier attitude toward a vital subject. This is a symptom of many problems in our country's educational school system.
Perhaps one major flaw in algebra opponents' position is that they fail to recognize that the real purpose of education is for students to learn to think, analyze, understand, and solve a wide variety of problems that are often complex. To do this, the more knowledge one has, the more he or she can draw from a "storehouse of information." And the more disciplines we know, the better we understand what information is needed to solve a problem.
How does a high school student know what he wants to do in life until he gets a taste of the multitude of jobs, professions, and ways of life that are open to him? If he doesn't get a taste of algebra, how will he know it is hard, or useful, or something he may not want to pursue? What about a student who doesn't want to go to college but likes to build things--houses, perhaps? For him, algebra may not be algebra but rather a necessary tool to build a house.
The same applies to other studies. A dietitian might not need to know and memorize the Krebs cycle, but he does need to have chemistry and physiology to understand the composition, metabolism, and value of food.
But the major flaw in Jones' suggestion is the implication that any subject we don't use often is something we don't need. What should we do about the study of chemistry, physics, biological systems, trigonometry, earth science, Latin, the history of the Peloponnesian War or World War I, or diagramming a sentence in English? Since we don't use any of these much, if at all, should we stop teaching them?
Then the question is: Where do you start? Where do you stop teaching disciplines that make up an educated person's knowledge? What would we use as a basis to eliminate areas of study without knowing what work we finally will choose to follow in life? For those of us who are tone deaf, should we stop teaching music? For those of us who are not good at physical training, should we stop having physical education? It appears some states have done away with music and physical education, and the result seems to be overweight or obese people who think rap music is the only music that has ever been composed.
Should we eliminate areas of knowledge to meet the needs of people who want to settle for a "D"? Should we set our standards that low? This brings to mind the juvenile thinking expressed in Sam Cooke song "Wonderful World":
Don't know much about history.
Don't know much biology.
Don't know much about a science book.
Don't know much about the French I took.
But I do know that I love you.
And I know that if you love me too.
What a wonderful world this would be.
Would it be a wonderful world
This leads me to raise a different question that gets to the value of the subjects we teach: Not whether we need algebra, but how we teach algebra or chemistry or music or any subject. Do we continue to teach the way classes have been always been taught, and with more or less the same curricula used for decades or longer? Do we assume that everyone who takes biology will become a doctor, dentist, nurse or a scientist of some sort? Should the person who wants a career in law or journalism or computer science be required to take the same courses as those who will pursue a science career?
It is important for our educational system to provide a well-rounded education that exposes students to many different disciplines. Most students won't know what they want to be when they grow up unless they have been exposed to a broad array of knowledge.
Another question for our educational system is not so much what we teach but how we teach it. Must we teach everything as one-size-fits-all, or should we tailor our courses for the value they will have for that group of students? Years ago, as chairman of the biology department at a women's college, I recommended that it offer a general biology for biology/science majors and an alternate general biology for non-biology/science majors. The emphasis could be directed to how the student will ultimately put the information to use. Non-biology/science majors could have more health, nutrition, and environmental information rather than learn all the categories of the animal and plant kingdoms, or the physiology and anatomy of the earthworm or jellyfish.
The same could be done with mathematics by having math for science or engineering students versus math for those students who will be English or art majors. This would not be remedial math or math for slow learners. This would be a specially designed course based on how a group of students will use the information in nursing, construction, art, accounting, or information technology. The goal should be to make the information useful to the learner and applicable to his future needs. Too many good teachers are bound by outdated or irrelevant curricula. Rarely, if ever, are they allowed to deviate from a standard curriculum.
Our educational system needs to be not only thorough but relevant. Under normal conditions students forget a significant percentage of the information they are exposed to unless they can apply it or it is

According to a recent report, the deliciousness factor that my Oreo consumption delivers could actually be compared to the same kind of pleasure you get taking illegal pharmaceuticals.
OK, a bit of background on this latest food report. The medical study was conducted at the Behavioral Neuroscience Center at Connecticut College to examine the effects of high-fat and high-sugar foods on the brain. Long story short, the animals used in the study loved (and craved) the cookies (that just happened to be Oreos) as much as the pharmaceuticals.
This news item got me thinking about how many recipes I have that contain Oreos. The answer was bunches. So, in the interest of science (and your taste buds) I'm happy to share.
Oreo Strawberry Sensation
4 cups fresh strawberries, divided in half
1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
1/4 cup lemon juice
1 tub (8 ounces) whipped topping, thawed and divided
10 Oreo cookies, finely chopped
1 tablespoon melted butter
Line a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan with foil, with ends extending over sides of pan. Mash 2 cups berries in large bowl and then add the condensed milk, lemon juice and 2 cups whipped topping mix to combine and pour the mixture into the prepared pan.
In a bowl combine the chopped cookies and butter. Sprinkle the cookie mixture over the top of the strawberry mix. Cover the mixture with the pieces of foil that are hanging over the edges. Press gently to press the cookies into the mixture. Place in the freezer for at least 6 hours or overnight.
To serve: Invert the dessert onto a serving plate and frost with the remaining whipped topping and strawberries.
Oreo Muffin
1 3/4 cups flour
1/2 cup sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup milk
1/3 cup sour cream or yogurt
1 egg
1/4 cup butter or margarine melted
20 Oreos (or chocolate sandwich cookies) chopped
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Use paper liners in a 12-muffin baking pan. In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. In another bowl combine the milk, sour cream, egg and margarine. Mix to combine then add the creamed mixture to the flour mixture and mix just until combine. By hand, add in the chopped cookie. Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin pan liners. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool in the pan for 5 to 10 minutes then remove to a cooling rack. Makes 12.
Oreo Pound Cake
25 Oreo cookies, chopped into big pieces
3 cups flour
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 1/4 cups milk
1 cup butter or margarine
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla
4 large eggs
6 ounces chocolate chips (semi-sweet or milk)
3 tablespoons butter or margarine
1 tablespoon milk
1 tablespoon corn syrup
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour a 9-inch loaf pan. In a bowl of an electric mixer combine all the cake ingredients except the cookies. Spoon 2/3 of the batter into the pan. Add the chopped cookies to the remaining batter, mix to combine and then spoon it on top of the batter in the pan. Bake 50 minutes. Test by pushing on the top of the cake. If it springs back when lightly touched, it's done. Cool cake in pan for about 10 minutes then place it on a rack. Cool completely and glaze.
For glaze: In a saucepan combine the chocolate chips, butter, milk and corn syrup. Heat over low heat (you can do this in a microwave but stop often to stir), stirring constantly, until melted. Drizzle the glaze over cooled cake. Serves 8 to 10.
Double Chip Chocolate Oreo Cookies
1 cup butter, softened
1 cup sugar
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 tablespoon vanilla
1 3/4 cups flour
15 Oreos, finely ground to a powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 cup cocoa
1 1/2 cups chocolate chips, milk or semi-sweet
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. In the bowl of an electric mixer combine the butter, sugar and brown sugar and beat until well combined. Add the eggs and vanilla and beat until combined. Add the flour, crushed cookie crumbs, baking soda, salt, cocoa powder and chocolate chips. Mix on low just until combined. Place the cookies about 1 inch apart. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, just until cooked through but not overcooked. Cool the cookies on baking sheet for 5 minutes before removing them to cool on a rack. Make 2 1/2 to 3 dozen.

According to reports, Minnesota Timberwolves point guard Ricky Rubio plans on calling Kevin Love and asking him to stay with the T'Wolves. This call could put a stop to the Chicago Bulls' plans of trading for the star power forward, in hopes of making a new "Big Three" in Chicago, putting Love with Derrick Rose and Joakim Noah.
As reported by other sites, the Bulls planned on making a huge offer for the former UCLA Bruins star.
The Bulls' offer had been rumored to have been the highest yet for Love, with rumors linking the Boston Celtics, Phoenix Suns and Sacramento Kings to him as well. The Bulls have multiple first round picks and plenty of talent to offer for the star, who was a teammate of Rose at the 2012 Summer Olympics in London, which the United States won the gold medal for.
It will be interesting to see what Rubio says to Love, and whether or not Love does want to leave Minnesota. If he does plan on leaving, it would be smart to place bets on Chicago as his destination, as the Bulls are pulling out all the stops on Love, in hopes that he can bring an elusive title to not only Chicago, but Rose and Noah as well.

The product is okay but, honestly, I will never buy this gloss because of the packaging. I'm not a huge gloss person to start with but I received a gift set of three for my birthday from a family member. The gloss is sticky and I like that it stays on longer than the average cheap gloss. Color is great.
I can't get over the twisty paintbrush application. Yesterday I twisted the base a thousand times and could hardly get enough product out to apply a coat! Today when I went to use it I huge glob came out and I had to blot my lips!
Nice product but I think I can find a better option with easier application.
I have tons of these from a gift and I am not impressed. There is barely any product and they are really thick and sticky. They don't last long on my lips at all. The only good thing is the pigmentation, but they still go on very streaky. Definitely not worth the price.
I have about a dozen of these. They leave a nice wash of color and just the right amount of shine to wear to work. I can make it several hours without having to reapply, if I don't eat a heavy lunch.
These are a glaze. Sticky, not full on color opaque, and not moisturizing. So if those are turn offs to a lippy, no matter how beautiful they are in the store they will be a huge let down for you. If you don't mind the sticky and a more muted look these are fantastic, perfect for the office where a bright bold lip is frowned upon. It's not to say that these are not pigmented, they are. They just won't be as bold as say MAC or Too Faced.
My only complaint about the packaging is how much you have to twist the first time you use it. I got annoyed after a few moments and went hog wild. So much mess :(
I really enjoyed this gloss. All the stila lip glazes smell like their names. I think this is really cool! Haha, anyway I got a whole pack of these lip glazes for Christmas and I love them! They all apply nicely because they have brush tips, and they smell amazing of course. I just wish these could be a little more pigmented and not be so expensive because you aren't getting that much in one tube.
I have this in spiced ginger. Though the colour is very nice inside the pen but need to apply many layers to get to that colour. So it works out an expensive lipgloss. The texture is very sticky and always get caught up with my long hair.
Lipgloss in a pen is interesting. It's easier to apply when you don't have a mirror with you. Otherwise, I don't see the fuss of it. I would prefer the traditional one with a wand.
I bought this in the colour "blood orange" (which is self-explanatory) and I am IN LOVE with the colour, since I find that red glosses are a nice way to still go red on days when I just don't feel like keeping up with a red lip. The gloss is a bit sticky, but I don't mind the way it feels. It smells like strawberries, and the product is generally good -- and for $8? Not too bad.
That being said, the only word I can describe the packaging with is, "embarrassing." I really hate having to reapply this, because you have to click the stupid pen thirty times, and the "paintbrush" sort of configuration is just generically stupid.
Love love love the gloss, hate hate hate the packaging.
More reviews by Eyeshadowsaremydrug0076
I LOVE stila!, But this product was just a miss for me, I had liked the ELF Hypeershine glosses so much I wanted to go and grab one of these,so I got the one in apricot, Nice color, scent. However It is soooooo Sticky!!! I mean I couldn't stand it, I wiped it off and it now sits waaaayy in the back.
This is a pretty good lip glaze.
I kind of like the paintbrush-style applicator but it's not really something you'd want to do in public if you need a quick retouch.
It lasts for a good amount of time, but it is on the thicker side so it might take an extra few moments to apply it right and smooth it.
Overally not bad at all and a nice alternative to lipstick if you want something there, but not as bold.
My review is bitter sweet because I do really like these glosses. They're thick and slightly sticky which is something I love. They last fairly long, for a gloss. However, I hate the applicator. It's just a pain, and slightly embarrassing, to have to click the product out, and than proceed to paint my lips in public. The worst part about these, though, is the price. I understand it's more common to buy them on sale, or in little sets (that's how I buy mine. I just bought 3 for $15 at Ulta), but let's look at what Stila is charging for one full sized product... $22 for .08 oz. Just to put it into perspective, MAC charges $15 for their basic tinted lipglass of .17 oz. And, Revlon charges around $8 for .2 oz. of their gloss. Even getting into the same price range as Stila (though, I don't consider what they offer to be high end) NARS charges $25 for .28 oz.
It's borderline insulting that they charge as much as they do. If they changed the packaging to a doe foot, and either dropped the price, or gave us $22 worth of product, than this would be my favorite line. They offer a few shades that I love. But, it's lip gloss and I can find similar shades elsewhere.

I have a ton of these lip glazes, and keep buying more! They're not the best lip gloss I've ever used, a bit thick and sticky. But they stay on for quite awhile compared to other glosses and have a shade selection that can't be matched! Ulta often has the .05 size tubes for only around $8, which is what a drug store gloss would cost anyway. Some of them have great nearly opaque color pay off, some are more sheer and great for layering over lipsticks to give them a glossy finish or a bit of shimmer. So while Lip Glazes aren't the best glosses ever, I will continue to buy them.

DVD Features VCR Features Card Reader Features Remote Control Inputs and Outputs Notes Warranty Note DVD Features Video D/A Converter: The DVD-V4800 uses a 27MHz/10-bit video digital-to-analog converter, which, combined with carefully selected analog components, ensures accurate recreation to the original DVD image. Audio D/A Converters: This unit features 96khz/24-bit audio digital-to-analog converters to ensure greater audio accuracy with every disc, especially releases recorded in the ultra-high fidelity 96kHz/24-bit format. PCM Downsampling: If your connected receiver cannot reproduce a 96kHz signal, PCM Downsampling should be applied to the digital output. When Downsampling is turned on, and you are playing a DVD recorded in 96kHz, the signal is down converted to 48kHz/16-bit before it is passed through the digital outputs. When No is selected and the unit is playing a DVD recorded in 96kHz, a 96kHz/24-bit signal passes through the digital outputs. MP3/WMA Playback: This unit will play MP3/WMA files recorded onto CD-R and CD-RW discs and Memory Cards using the ISO 9660 or Joliet formats. MP3 files with a compression rate from 128-192 kbps and WMA files with a compression rate from 64-192 kbps are supported. This unit can play up to a maximum of 3000 files and 300 folders.

Auto Speed Select: When you are recording a program in SP mode and the remaining tape becomes shorter than the remaining recording time, the tape speed is automatically changed to SLP mode. Variable Search System: The VCR utilizes the VHS Index Search System (VISS), which uses index marks at the beginning of a recorded program to help you navigate through the tape and locate specific recordings. Features that use the Variable Search System include: Intro Scan: You can search forward or backward for an index mark (made at the beginning of each recording). When an index mark is found, the VCR plays for about 5 seconds. If you want to view that program, you can press Play. If not, the VCR will automatically search for the next index mark. End Search: If you are searching for a blank position on a tape to record a program, you can press the Enter button and the VCR will search for the next blank portion of the tape. If the VCR reaches the end of the tape during End Search, it will eject the tape. Go to 0:00:00 Stop: This feature allows you to reset the counter to zero during play or record.

Being in the Baltimore area, I don't get the privilege of watching the Packers play the Lions today, so instead I get three games this afternoon: New Orleans Saints @ Washington Redskins and Indianapolis Colts @ Minnesota Vikings early and then Brett Favre's New York Jets hosting the New England Patriots at around four. Everyone's late game is the Pittsburgh Steelers @ Cleveland Browns.
For the sake of the NFC North I'm going to watch the Colts-Vikings game. It looks like a great one and I reall don't want to hear Brian Billick doing analysis over on Fox for Saints-Redskins. It'll be interesting to see how the Vikings rebound from Monday night's loss.
I'm following the Packers game on GameCenter, and I'll be back in a half-hour.

A Rainy Movie for a Rainy Weekend: Melancholia4/25/2012
For the first ten minutes of this movie, I had no idea what was going on. It was some sort of an artsy montage, featuring stills from the movie I was about to watch, set to a score of classical music. During this time, I read a magazine, hoping this part would end soon.
Movie Night! One Collegiette Reviews Friends with Kids4/9/2012
I was first interested in Friends with Kids because I heard it was written, directed, and starred in by Jon Hamm's long time girlfriend, Jennifer Westfeldt. I was hooked once I saw the trailer: the movie seemed like a hilarious adaptation of the (almost) over-done 'falling in love with your best friend' shtick. Somehow, though, Friends with Kids made the familiar story line seem brand-new.
Fitness at the Forest: Is Treadmill Training Better Than Going on a Run?2/29/2012
Last week's post established why running is the best exercise and highlighted different ways to approach running around campus. In the attempt to bring all of the gym rats into the running game, as well as fend off the fear of rain, a description on the best way to use a treadmill is also necessary.

Many of us in the collecting field are familiar with the descriptive words a seller uses sometimes to give the impression of an item's importance beyond its reality. Usually it is done at an online auction site where a seller uses the art of descriptive language to give the impression of a higher value or rarity without actually saying so.
When questioned later, the seller can always point to his description and insist the buyer just have misread it.
Then, there are other times when a description may appear to be correct, but when read again suggests that the seller guessed at its origin or didn't bother to fully understand the initial description. Here's an example found at an online auction site recently:
1830 Engraving of the White House, Washington, D.C.
Original steel plate engraving – The President's House, Washington
"The President's House, Washington: This etching depicts the White House during the era of Andrew
Jackson's presidency. It was engraved by Joseph Andrews after a drawing by H. Brown."
Image size is 5 1/2″ X 8 1/2″ on a larger plate. It is in fine condition.
The description uses the word 'depicts' the White House during the era of Andrew Jackson, but the engraving itself may not have been made at that time. In fact, the date does not appear on the engraving because when I asked the seller if it did, he replied with a curt "No." So, he guessed at it.
Item Specifics
Organization Type : Political – US
1830 Engraving Presidents Washington, Lincoln, Jackson
"1830 Engraving of Presidents Washington, Lincoln, Jackson and Johnson by J. C. Buttre, engraved for Abbott's Lives of the President's. Engravcing (sic) of the Capitol at the center as well. Plate measures 9″ X 5 1/4″
But how can the engraving be listed as being from 1830 when it clearly shows Abraham Lincoln and Andrew Johnson alongside Washington and Jackson? Lincoln and Johnson were in the White House in the 1860s making this engraving of that period, not 1830. Just a typo? Possibly. But if you are going through descriptions quickly, you might not notice in time that the description was wrong.
In another description for cufflinks attributed to Vice President Dick Cheney says:
"Vice President Dick Cheney VIP Gift Cuff Links.
On each elegant cuff link, a 14k gold-plated Vice Presidential Seal is depicted, in relief, on a stunning white background.
The Vice Presidential Seal is surrounded by 50 gold-plated stars and the edge of each cuff link has an intricate, gold-plated, "roped" edging that is unlike other cuff link. Owing to their beauty these executive (high-end) cuff links often are called "VIP" cuff links.
On the back of each cuff link is the engraved signature of Vice President Dick Cheney."
Nowhere in this description does it say that they are official cufflinks, but gives the impression that they are. However, those in the presidential collectible field are aware that cufflinks from Dick Cheney are even harder to find than those of the president. This description then plays on that scarcity with skillful language. Also, the official vice presidential coat-of-arms does not include 50 blue stars in a circle surrounding the eagle. Since this is a seller that routinely sells items of a presidential nature, they are aware of that (in fact, email messages pointing out that design flaw went unanswered and the description remains unchanged). There is a lot of skillful language here that the seller can easily say does not misinterpret the item if read carefully.
These are just three examples of skillful language used in marketing historical items. The first was clearly a guess, the second may just be a typo, the third is just plain deceptive. Always read carefully!
