Evaluating student involvement and awareness of review process
The question of how students can have an impact on changes happening in the university has arisen yet again this year. This time, the focus has turned to the Program Prioritization Process (PPP). The Central Student Association (CSA) claims that students are not being provided with accessible information about the PPP Task Force's agenda, which is just one of the CSA's concerns about the process.
"A lot of the issues we have with the PPP [are about] how fast it's moving, and how little communication happened with the CSA prior to September," said Deaglan McManus, the Academic and University Affairs Commissioner for the CSA. According to McManus, communication with students has been scant, and not completely transparent. An initial communication was sent out in the first school week of September, which may have been overlooked by students busy settling back into university life.
"I don't think it should [have been] assumed that students would recognize that their programs might be at risk or that their programs are being evaluated in depth," said McManus.
The PPP was started back in September, and will serve as an assessment of academic and non-academic programs and services. The end goal is to identify the university's strengths, as well as where it can cut back on costs to narrow the gap between revenues and expenses.
While the language of the information released about the PPP is seemingly unthreatening, McManus says that the process is reminiscent of cuts that took place in 2009, which marked the end of the Women's Studies program.
"People didn't realize towards the end of the process that it was going to happen," explained McManus. And, according to McManus, similar issues have been present in the PPP's work so far. The looming deadline to submit review forms, for one, is a concern.
Units and departments in the University of Guelph are currently reviewing their services, and Maureen Mancuso, Provost and VP Academic, explains that each unit has been asked to complete a Program Information Request (PIR) form, due on March 1.
"For example, every major will have a PIR form that is completed that provides information on the ten criterion, which the programs and services will be assessed against," Mancuso detailed through email correspondence. The criterion can be found on the PPP website, and include the external and internal demand for programs, and revenue and costs weight, among other criteria.
McManus believes that this process should involve students, as they are the primary participants in programs. Right now, students are not able to get easily involved, as many units have not been asking students to participate in part because of the tight deadlines.
"We really appreciate those that have [been involving students]," said McManus, "because at least it helps students understand what's happening. The process does not allow for involvement […] which is concerning when students are the majority."
Bruno Mancini, the director of Counselling Services and the Centre for Students with Disabilities, is one facilitator who has involved students in the review process. According to Mancini, meetings he held with students were "well-attended and helpful in providing new insights and feedback."
Mancuso agrees that student participation is important since they have "perspectives/information on their programs that would be useful." Mancuso also explained that it is not the Task Force's responsibility to involve students, and that this job lies with departments.
Students are however present on the Task Force. Noorain Shethwala and Anne Laarman are the undergraduate and graduate interns respectively, and will aid with the review process. McManus is uncertain of how they will be able to get involved and defend student interests, though the titles of the two students' positions have been changed from their original titles as "student representatives."
"How much freedom are they going to have in opposing any decisions that their supervisors make, given that their supervisors are also on the taskforce?" said McManus. "To our knowledge, it hasn't happened before that a student's been paid [by someone other than students] to sit on a university committee."
With the deadline approaching quickly, McManus says that members of the CSA are working to improve the accessibility of information on the website by providing the PPP with feedback. Through the CSA website, McManus has also included contact information for the authors of the PIR forms, and an email template for what students can send to the authors.
"[We're] informing students so they're not hit with it when the decisions are made at the end of the summer," said McManus, adding, "The communication might get better towards the end of the process, but that's when it's going to hurt the most."

Woman killed in Fayette County van-motorcycle collision
A Glenville woman was killed Friday evening when a van crashed into a motorcycle on Bruceton Road in Henry Clay Township.
Kelly J. Oberdick-Palmer, 55, was a passenger on the motorcycle and was pronounced dead at Ruby Memorial Hospital, where she was airlifted after the crash, according to police. The motorcycle's driver, Loren D. Riebling, 49, of Glenville, was injured in the crash. The severity of his injuries is unknown. Both were wearing helmets.
According to police, the Chevrolet Express van driven by Ira D. Hammond, 44, of Confluence, was traveling south when it crossed into the opposite lane at about 5:37 p.m., hitting the northbound motorcycle. Hammond was uninjured.
The van is owned by RJT Trucking, a contractor for FedEx, according to police.
State Route 281 was closed for four hours after the crash.

Rap veteran LL Cool J and the Beastie Boys have been snubbed from being officially inducted into the annual Rock & Roll Hall of Fame ceremony in New York City next year.
Instead of the former Def Jam artists, today's announced inductees include music legends like Neil Diamond.
The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is ready to admit a new class: Alice Cooper, Tom Waits, Neil Diamond, Darlene Love and Dr. John have all been inducted for 2011, the foundation announced Wednesday. With the exception of Waits, this was a first time nomination for all of the inductees. Artists aren't eligible for induction until 25 years have passed from the release of their first single or LP. The 26th annual ceremony to celebrate the inductees will go down on March 14, 2011 at the Waldorf Astoria in New York City, and will be broadcast on Fuse. (CNN)
Following last September's announcement of Cool J as an inductee, Def Jam co-founder Russell Simmons vouched his support for the rap mogul.
"Nothing makes me happier than seeing the greatest of all time, LL Cool J, getting nominated to become a member of the Rock N' Roll Hall Of Fame. I remember when Todd was just a young, runaway kid who kept sending his demo tape to Rick Rubin's dorm room. When we first listened to his tape, we knew we had to make Todd part of the Def Jam family. Over the years, Todd made hit after hit, and maybe only to Jay-Z, he has the most hits in hip-hop history…at least in my book. But more importantly than being a hit maker, Todd has always said yes when asked to give back to his community. I have asked him to do many, many things and he has NEVER said no. He is a true friend and someone who truly deserves to [be] immortalized in the Rock N' Roll Hall Of Fame. (Global Grind)
After LL lost out on an induction last December, Slaughterhouse's Joell Ortiz was vocal on his issues with the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame panel.
"how they not let LL cool J in the rock n roll hall of fame yet?," he asked Wednesday (December 16) night. "LL cool J is one of the first rappers that ever reached out to give me encouragement early on. He didnt even know me just a good dude. @menima27 not many at all. Alot of arrogant a**holes in this biz. I got stories yall." (Joell Ortiz's Twitter)
Former XXL Magazine Editor In Chief Elliott Wilson also let his voice be heard on LL's missed spot.
"F*ck the stats. I can't believe the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame chose to not induct him," Wilson wrote on his RapRadar website. "Last year, you put [Run-DMC] in and now you front on LL? The man who designed the blueprint of what a solo hip-hop star could be. This is beyond my comprehension. Disrespectful. So so so disrespectful. This is his first year of eligibility so I'm sure this will be rectified soon but still the moment's ruined. If I was Todd, I'd tell 'em to kiss my black a**. You only get a first time to do the right thing." (Rap Radar)

W. Carl Burger Exhibition Opens at Kean University's Gallery, 4/24
A comprehensive exhibition of drawings by W. Carl Burger, created over more than five decades will be featured at Kean University's Carl and Helen Burger Gallery. The show entitled W. Carl Burger, Drawing for Fifty Years runs from April 24 through July 19, 2012. A reception with the artist will be held on Tuesday, April 24, 2012 from 4:00 to 6:00 p.m.
The exhibition examines Burger's prolific career, beginning with his early renderings of French landscapes and European architecture seen through the eyes of a young artist-soldier in the 1940s. It then advances through each subsequent stage of development to the present.
With an artistic career spanning more than five decades, the esteemed W. Carl Burger has received much recognition. His work has been shown at Philadelphia Museum of Art, the Smithsonian Institute in Washington, D.C., the New Jersey State Museum in Trenton, the National Academy of Design and Lincoln Center in New York City. Burger's work is held in the corporate collections of including British Airways, Warner Communications, AT&T, Johnson & Johnson, Nabisco World Headquarters, Schering-Plough, and Ortho Pharmaceutical. The Butler Institute of Art, the Noyes Museum, and the Morris Museum, have all done comprehensive solo exhibitions of W. Carl Burger's artwork.
"Carl Burger moves with deliberate energy and creativity," said Neil Tetkowski, Kean University Gallery Director said. "At 86 years of age, the artist radiates with inspired affection and enthusiasm. Burger lives with a youthful urgency to make art, and remarkably, his next artwork always promises to be his best."
Unlike much of his well-known oeuvre, the drawings use color sparingly, sometimes not at all. The exhibition shows that Burger has been thinking monochromatically for many years. "As Carl progressively uses inks and mixed media layered on top of graphite, it is hard to determine when his drawing becomes a painting," Tetkowski added.
Always exquisitely rendered, Burger's drawings lead the viewer into a world of surprise and complex surrealistic composition. He is a virtuoso draftsman, an expert of collage and an expressionist master of extravagant color.
"While he is probably best known for large-scale water colors representing the imagined and real landscapes of New Jersey, this exhibition spotlights his drawings, the source and essence of his more spontaneous work," noted Steven H. Miller, former Executive Director of The Morris Museum. "The fact that he also excels in graphite and other fine and delicate mediums should probably come as no surprise".
W. Carl Burger, Drawing for Fifty Years showcases Burger's lesser-known-but just as spectacular-monochromatic works. What pervades through Burger's work is exuberance and spontaneity, infused with a sense of youthful wonderment and joy. W. Carl Burger always speaks in a distinct artistic voice about his subject matter.
W. Carl Burger, Drawing for Fifty Years shows Monday through Friday from 10:30 AM to 4:30 PM. The Carl and Helen Burger Gallery is located at 1000 Morris Avenue on the campus of Kean University in Union, New Jersey. Admission to all galleries is free to the Kean University community and the general public. For further information, updates and announcements about Kean University Galeries, call 908.737.0392 or visit www.kean.edu/~gallery.

Office space: Demand will rise as businesses expand, but overseas competition will limit growth
IBISWorld's Office Furniture Manufacturing market research report can be used to help you: understand market size and growth potential; major companies; draft business plans and pitch books; and conduct benchmarking and SWOT analysis. Our industry analysis highlights macro industry trends in the overall sector and micro trends faced by companies that do business in the industry. The industry report also provides key industry statistics and 5-year forecasts to anticipate future industry prospects so you can decide with confidence.
In the five years to 2014, the Office Furniture Manufacturing industry is expected to grow off a low recessionary base. As businesses faced economic challenges throughout the recession, companies deferred purchasing new office equipment. Additionally, rising import penetration from countries with lower labor costs, such as China, along with volatile raw material costs hampered industry revenue. Still, industry revenue is expected to increase over the five-year period, fueled by improving economic conditions. Despite overall growth within the industry, domestic players are expected to face increased pressure from imports. In addition, volatile input prices will likely hamper industry profit throughout the next five years... purchase to read more
Accounting for 22.0% of all office furniture manufacturing, the Southeast region of the United States has the largest concentration of business locations in the Office Furniture Manufacturing industry. This is largely due to the fact that 25.4% of the nation's population resides in the Southeast, making it the most populated region in the United States. Manufacturing facilities are located near population centers in order to increase delivery speed and reduce transportation costs; therefore, the geographical location of establishments often corresponds to population trends... purchase to read more

Watch KFDM News at 6 for more on the story.
During the security breach, hackers obtained the credit and debit card information of approximately 40 million Target customers, and the personal information of approximately 70 million Target customers. Due to the breach, financial institutions suffered losses including: the expense of creating, issuing and mailing new payment cards to their customers, customer reimbursements for fraudulent charges, administrative expenses and overhead charges associated with monitoring and preventing fraud, and lost customers. While Target is providing one year of free credit monitoring services for those impacted, financial institutions have found themselves responsible for the majority of the costs associated with the security breach.
Walter Umphrey and Michael A. Havard of ProvostUmphrey Law Firm are representing the plaintiffs in the case. "We feel that CommunityBank is well positioned to represent a nationwide class of banks, credit unions, and other financial institutions. It is too early to determine just how much money banks have lost, but early indications are that losses could run in the hundreds of millions of dollars," said Havard.
According to the filed lawsuit, the breach was the direct and foreseeable result of Targets failure to implement and maintain reasonable, industry-standard security measures to protect its customers credit card, debit card, and personal information. Additionally, credit card companies require merchants to comply with regulations aimed at safeguarding customer information. These regulations generally prohibit the retention and storage of cardholder information after a transaction has been authorized.

"This is my first review so keep that in mind. I bought a pair used UE 900's at Cex, an electronics resale store in San Francisco.

Beyer Dynamic DTX 100 SW Premium in Ear Buds (Black)
" Beyerdynamic's dtx100 is their top of the line dynamic driver iem. It has a bass driven sound very similar to the 60/80 which is a signature I like. Bass heads may be left wanting as will detail freaks but they are fun with a punchy attack and very user friendly. They exhibit marginally less bass than the 80's but extension is, if anything, better, as is clarity. Because of this bass..." --Marcus_C
Beyer Dynamic DTX 60 SW Premium in Ear Buds (Black)
"Beyerdynamic's dtx60 is a dynamic driver iem sitting below the dtx80/100 in the range. It has a bass focussed sound which may be fine for some people but I don't enjoy massive bass when there is little definition which is what this earphone is lacking in that department. Mids and vocals are fairly well presented however and come across as good for the price. Highs to me seem harsh rather than..." --Marcus_C

From the moment I entered into correspondence with Maryna before we arrived to the time we left after a 5 night stay we received nothing but great service at Morgans Hotel NYC. From the doormen Brian and Tom to Maryna and Kristen on Reception (to name just a few) we were superbly looked after and the location of the hotel was just great. The help yourself continental breakfast set us up each day and despite the restaurant and bar being unavailable undergoing refurb, we found plenty of great bars and restaurants nearby to fill the gap. The best part of our stay was the friendliness and professionalism of the staff (especially the above named) and we would definitely stay at Morgans again - highly recommended
- Official Description (provided by the hotel):

How can you say "Broward" and "mall" without saying "Sawgrass Mills"? Sure, it's a tourist trap. It's the second-largest tourist attraction in the state, and more than 25 million shoppers will trudge through Sawgrass' stores this year alone. The parking lot holds 11,000 cars, for chrissakes. Sure, you'll get lost. The mall is more than a mile long, covers 170 acres, and is shaped like an alligator -- a design feature you're not likely to notice but apt to curse when you're looking for Saks Off Fifth and find yourself in front of Burlington Coat Factory for the 12th time. (Save yourself the confusion by printing a map of the mall off its website, www.sawgrassmillsmall.com) Still, this West Broward behemoth is a feast for the frugal fashionista. Prices here hover around 80 percent below retail. Discount versions of stores like Neiman Marcus peacefully coexist with Brooks Brothers, Theory, Kenneth Cole, St. John Knits, Calvin Klein, BeBe, Tahari, and more than 400 others. And where else in South Florida can you suck on an Orange Julius while trying on a pair of Blahniks?

Cf= Ellsbury
RF= Garcia
SP= Sale, Quintana, Danks, Johnson, and Santiago
RP= Reed, Lindstrom, Veal, Veal, Webb and Jones
DH= Konerko/Viciedo
I have no doubt if the White Sox had this roster they would be in the 2014 Playoffs. All they have to do is spend a little bit of money to make this happen. I read yesterday that the White Sox have the 11th most valuable BB franchise. (Bloomberg News) So lets hope they start spending some of there money to make all of this happen.

Tips to Make a National Brand Relevant to a Local Community
When national brands are household names, telling new and relevant stories that captivate a local audience can sometimes be challenging, as the saying, "all news is local" often rings true.

I'm landscaping my yard this summer and I want to put my vegy garden over my drain feild. I have herd that this is a bad idea decase of possable dieses that can get in to my veges. Is this true?

I don't think your drain field would contain any human diseases that your family members don't already have. Think about it - where does the contents of your drain field come from? Your house, right? Maybe I'm missing something, but I don't see a disease problem. On the other hand, one of the things that helps a drain field release/remove the extra water is the grass and plants over it. If you turn it into a garden it might be less efficient.
Others might have a different point of view.
Others might have a different point of view.
Septic systems always have the possibility of contributing to disease. The septic tank is full of rotting waste that trickles out into the septic field. The field is to let water sink into the ground and dilute any pathogens. That's why wells and septic fields must be seperated. I think putting vegetables on a septic field is dangerous. Another point is ruining your septic field. If you cut into the field, you may end up having wet spots or an overflowing septic tank.

DENSIDAD, ESTRUCTURA SOCIAL, ACTIVIDAD Y MANEJO DE GUANACOS SILVESTRES (Lama guanicoe) EN EL SUR DEL NEUQUÉN, ARGENTINA
ABSTRACT Los guanacos (Lama guanicoe) son los ungulados silvestres más abundantes y ampliamente distribuidos de Sudamérica, aunque su abundancia y rango de distribución disminuyó drásticamente en el último siglo. En Patagonia, la esquila en vivo de guanacos silvestres es promovida por organismos gubernamentales como una actividad complementaria a la ganadería que contribuiría a conservar sus poblaciones. La falta de estudios ecológicos sobre poblaciones que habitan campos privados dificulta la evaluación de posibles efectos negativos de esta actividad. Nuestro objetivo fue estimar la densidad, la estructura social y las actividades de una población de guanacos silvestres en un establecimiento ganadero y evaluar los efectos de un evento de manejo. Estimamos la densidad y la estructura social, dentro y fuera del área manejada, y analizamos las actividades individuales antes y después del manejo, entre invierno 2004 y verano 2005. La densidad fue similar en ambas épocas y el tamaño de grupos de machos decreció en primavera. Los grupos familiares fueron la estructura social más frecuente. La alimentación fue la actividad más común en ambas estaciones. La actividad "reposo" en verano se asoció positivamente con la temperatura. Nuestros resultados sobre efectos del manejo son limitados debido al bajo éxito de captura y que pocos ejemplares fueron esquilados; sin embargo, sugieren que la esquila no modificó la estructura social de la población manejada en el corto tiempo. La continuidad de estos estudios es esencial para evaluar la sustentabilidad de esta actividad y su valor potencial como herramienta de conservación de la especie.

ABSTRACT: Animal Welfare 2003, 12: 387-402 A current programme of wildlife utilisation in the Andean region involves the capture of wild vicunas, their shearing, transport and, in some cases, captive farming. The effects of these interventions on the physiology, and thus welfare, of wild vicunas are unknown. As a first step to quantifying and thus mitigating any adverse welfare consequences of this harvest, we measured the immediate and longer-term physical and physiological effects of capture, shearing and transport. A sample of juvenile male vicunas was captured. Six were shorn at the capture site, six after two weeks in captivity, and the remaining seven animals were kept as controls for 39 days. In general, vicunas showed changes in blood glucose, packed cell volume, cortisol, and neutrophil:lymphocyte ratios within 4-6 h following capture. Creatine kinase was also affected by capture and transport, showing a peak plasma level 24 h after capture, which was followed by a peak plasma level of aspartate aminotransferase four days after capture and transport. After 12 days in captivity, all of the vicunas showed physiological parameters close to expected baseline values for the species. We could detect no differences in physiological parameters between animals that were captured, sheared and transported and those that were only captured and transported. Similarly, we could detect no differences in most responses of vicunas between those sheared after 12 days in captivity and a control group held under similar conditions but from which blood was sampled without shearing. A further comparison between animals sheared immediately after capture and animals sheared after 12 days in captivity revealed that creatine kinase levels were higher in the former group. During transport prior to release back into the wild, only minor injuries (lip bleeding and limb contusions) and a significant increase in rectal temperature were observed. Our results provide a basis for recommendations to improve the welfare of vicunas during the wool harvest, and provide baseline and stress-response data to serve as reference points for further studies of vicuna welfare.Animal welfare (South Mimms, England) 01/2003; 12(3). · 1.43 Impact Factor
Article: Adrenocorticotrophin-induced stress response in captive vicunas (Vicugna vicugna) in the Andes of Chile[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Animal Welfare 2003, 12: 369-385 The vicuna is mainly used in two ways: wild captured, shorn and returned to the wild; or wild captured and maintained in captivity as part of a programme of sustainable use in the Andes of South America. Farming of wild vicunas has hitherto involved no assessment of their welfare. In this study we measured a set of basic blood parameters in order to characterise baseline values in captivity, and we then characterised adrenal cortical responsiveness using an ACTH challenge. The ACTH challenge is widely used for assessing neuroendocrine responses to stress and is now increasingly being applied to studies of wild animals' welfare. Five male vicunas were injected with exogenous ACTH and their responses compared with those of a control group injected with placebo. Behavioural and haematological changes were monitored. Injection of ACTH produced a 4.5-fold increase in cortisol concentration within 1 h. Total white blood cell count almost doubled in less than 5 h. The neutrophil:lymphocyte ratio also changed, with a decrease in lymphocytes and an increase in neutrophils, suggesting that the neutrophil:lymphocyte ratio was affected by the ACTH challenge. Packed cell volume increased from 40% to 44%. Observations of individual vicunas during sampling revealed no discernible behavioural differences between treated and control animals; however, animals that had higher initial baseline cortisol concentration made more attempts to escape, and vocalised more during handling, regardless of whether they were treated with ACTH or placebo. The results reveal the different blood parameter levels associated with stress in different species and highlight the hazard of interpreting stress levels in one species on the basis of measures calibrated in another. We provide calibrated reference values for future studies of stress in vicunas.Animal welfare (South Mimms, England) 01/2003; · 1.43 Impact Factor

ABSTRACT: We used comparative data to test functional hypotheses for 17 antipredator behaviour patterns in artiodactyls. We examined the literature for hypotheses about auditory and visual signals, defensive behaviour and group-related antipredator behaviour in this taxon and derived a series of predictions for each hypothesis. Next, we documented occurrences of these behaviour patterns and morphological, ecological and behavioural variables for 200 species and coded them in binary format. We then pitted presence of an antipredator behaviour against presence of an independent variable for cervids, bovids and all artiodactyls together using nonparametric tests. Finally, we reanalysed the data using Maddison's (1990, Evolution, 44, 539–557) concentrated-changes tests and a consensus molecular and taxonomic phylogeny. We found evidence that snorting is both a warning signal to conspecifics and a pursuit-deterrent signal, lack of evidence that whistling alerts conspecifics and indications that foot stamping is a visual signal to warn group members. Evidence suggested that tail flagging was a signal to both conspecifics and predators, that bounding, leaping and stotting were used both as a signal and to clear obstacles and that prancing functioned similarly to foot stamping. Analyses of tail flicking, zigzagging and tacking were equivocal. We confirmed that inspection occurs in large groups, freezing enhances crypticity, and species seeking refuge in cliffs tend to be small. Entering water and attacks on predators had few correlates. Finally, group living, a putative antipredator adaptation, was associated with large body size and species living in open habitats, confirming Jarman's (1974, Behaviour, 48, 215–267) classic hypothesis. Bunching and group attack apparently deter predators. Despite limitations, comparative and systematic analyses can bolster adaptive hypotheses and raise new functional explanations for antipredator behaviour patterns in general.Animal Behaviour. 01/2004;

NEW LOCATION in 2014
UW-Saddle and Sirloin makes changes to 2014 Badger Kick-Off Classic
Mackenzie Cash, General Chair for the 2014 Badger Kick-Off Classic, announces that the show will be held at a new location, the Alliant Energy Center in Madison, WI.
Madison, WI (August 5, 2014)- The 2014 Badger Kick-Off Classic will be the 20th show hosted by UW-Saddle and Sirloin. The first show was held at the Stock Pavilion on campus in Madison with around 50 head of cattle. Within a few years the show had caught on so well that the Pavilion no longer was a large enough facility. This is when the move was made to the Wisconsin State Fair Park in West Allis, WI, originally needing only one barn on site to stall cattle.
With the growth in entries over the last 10 years, Saddle and Sirloin has had to increase stalling areas branching out into the double deck barn-first just the lower level and then even filling the upper deck as well. With Alliant Energy Center's announcement of the New Holland Pavilions construction project, came a decision for the 2014 General Chair, Mackenzie Cash, and General Co-Chair, Alexus Butler. Contract negotiations began in April 2014 and an agreement was reached a few weeks later. The 2014-2016 shows will be held at the Alliant Energy Center in the New Holland Pavilions. 2014 dates are December 5th-7th. In 2015 the dates will be December 4th-6th, 2015. 2016 dates will be December 2nd-4th, 2016.
Pavilion 1, which is 90,000 square feet, will host two show rings, a food court with eating area, an expanded trade show, and heated wash racks. Pavilion 2, which can hold 1800 head of cattle, will be the site of all the cattle stalling. This over doubles the space of cattle stalling for exhibitors. Pavilion 2 also offers easy access for unloading and loading at arrival and departure and easy trailer parking near the facilities. There will also be free parking on grounds.
Saddle and Sirloin hopes that Badger Kick-Off Classic can continue to grow in the New Holland Pavilions and looks forward to working with the Alliant Energy Center and staff. For additional information please contact Mackenzie Cash at email@example.com or visit www.badgerkickoff.net.

Cook Time:

The recipe I have is called mash m'tubuq or layered mung beans and rice in English. Mung beans are commonly known as bean sprouts in Chinese food but in this case, they're not sprouted first. I make it quite often and is a high source of protein though I make it w/o meat (meat can be used and should be lamb). This is my recipe but, since I've never really measured, the amounts are approximate and I use a rice cooker but it's not necessary, just convenient:

Earlier this month Sen. Rand Paul (R-Kentucky) visited Howard University to take a swing at repairing relations between African Americans and the Republican Party.
As famed sportscaster Harry Kalas would have said, it was largely a swing and a miss.
Paul struck out when he tried to equate today's Republican Party with the party of Abraham Lincoln, while ignoring much of the 150 years in between. (He even acknowledged his mistakes shortly after). But his willingness to step up to the plate can provide a lesson for a GOP struggling to get on top.
Republicans will not win black votes by paying lip service to party history while attacking social programs and voting rights. But they can make inroads by showing a commitment to civil rights, something Paul managed to do briefly in his remarks.
Paul received applause when he told the Howard crowd, "We should not have drug laws or a court system that disproportionately punishes the black community." He illustrated using one issue where the GOP can connect with black voters: criminal justice reform. (CNN)

We are pleased to announce that: 1) Z-Zero's are shipping to dealers and clients and: 2) the model page is now live on our website.
Please note: For the forseeable future, our lead times will be slightly protracted on all Z-Zero orders as we work through the backlog that has been building since fall 2012. Please bear with us, demand is simply outstripping our available labor right now. The building of these bikes cannot and will not be rushed.
Your dealer will be able to give an accurate lead time at time of order. Thanks!
Officially introducing the Z-Zero!
We are very excited to officially launch our newest creation, the all custom Z-Zero, in conjunction with two of our long-standing retail partners.
Next Thursday, the 15th of November, we will be at Bespoke Cycling in the heart of London with Barry, Ben and the rest of the Bespoke Cycling team for an evening with Bob Parlee and a formal introduction of the Z-Zero.
At the same time, the rest of the Parlee team will be joining Paul, Lori and the Signature Cycles team at the Grand Opening of the all-new Signature Cycles Greenwich studio.
What better way to beat the dark and cold?
We will be showing all the new 2013 product at both events!

Prius x Parlee
Toyota reached out early this year to us be involved with a concept aero-road bike imbued with the same forward-thinking that went into the design of the Prius. Benefitting from a monocoque carbon-fiber frame, built-in smartphone dock, countless wind-tunnel-tested aerodynamic tweaks and its unprecedented mind-powered shifter, the PXP concept bike has emerged as a purpose-built machine that blends the simple with the complex to become a better and more efficient version of itself.
