Just the other day--while laying on the couch being sick--I watched Martha Stewart's TV program. Caroline Kennedy is writing a book featuring recipes from our country's past. Martha brought out her old catering service HUGE Hobart mixer, and it was fun (being sick & all "fun" is relative!) to watch her put this together---WOW! Today I was paging through a "Christmas traditions" book my SIL gave me a few years ago and wow--here's the recipe Martha S. & Caroline Kennedy were re-creating on the TV program. The book says, "From an old manuscript dated 'Mount Vernon, 1781" made by Martha Custis Washington for her grandmama." I'm purely guessing on the serving amounts.

Chinatown for a large group
We are looking for a restaurant in or near Chinatown for an early Saturday dinner. There will be 11 of us including 3 kids. I was thinking that Cafe 456 might work. Any other suggestions? Many thanks.
re: daver
A big dim sum palace (eg Jing Fong on Elizabeth) has no problem absorbing 11 people. Slightly more upscale, Ping's (on Mott) also takes large groups and consistently gets high ratings. They have both a smaller veresion of dim sum ( eg minced shrimp in dumpling wrapped in crisp bacon) and a regular menu at lunch (including diced squab with veggies in a crepe). They might be a little more expensive than Cafe 4-5-6.
You have lots of options - even some Sichuan.
Amazing 66:
Famous Sichuan:
Noodle Village:
Oriental Garden:
Old Sichuan:
Shanghai Heping:
Shanghai Deluxe Café
I often have large parties at Congee Village on Allen St., the latest last week. They have several private rooms, the food is mostly delicious (especially the garlic chicken and the seafood ) and a full bar (most rare in Chinatown). They also take reservations on the phone, even in English! I heartily recommend them. And there are always tons of children.
Count on about $35 a head for lots of food and relatively heavy drinkers, less is less is drunk. they do have good lichen Martini's.
I want to thank you all for your suggestions. We did end up at Cafe 456 on Mott Street, and it was perfect for the mixed group that we had. We were a party of 11 and the waiter was good at recommending dishes and making sure that there was enough food and drink. He was patient in showing everyone how to eat the soup dumplings, and had a sardonic sense of humor which cut through the language barrier. We arrived early for our reservation and the table was ready for us. The place was packed on Saturday, with a line on the street, but we were not rushed at all.
Highlights of the meal for me were the cold sesame noodles, crispy duck, and string beans, eggplant and broccoli in spicy basil sauce. I do not eat pork, so did not have soup dumplings, but they received raves. I also liked the veg. dumplings as well.
There was nothing ethereal here, but the food was solid, the atmosphere was pleasant, and the service was very good. Recommended.

The amount of phishing emails has precipitously dropped since this time last year, reports the Associated Press.
A report being released Wednesday by IBM Corp. shows a big drop in the volume of "phishing" e-mails, in which fraud artists send what looks like a legitimate message from a bank or some other company. If the recipients click on a link in a phishing e-mail, they land on a rogue Web site that captures their passwords, account numbers or any other information they might enter.
IBM's midyear security report found that phishing accounted for just 0.1 percent of all spam in the first six months of this year. In the same period in 2008, phishing made up 0.2 percent to 0.8 percent of all spam.
What's interesting about the drop is how inexplicable it is.
Kris Lamb, director of the X-Force research team in IBM's Internet Security Systems division, theorized to the AP that the dramatic drop maybe due to better security technologies or simply that cybercriminals have moved on to new tactics, such as malicious software.
Regardless, he said the phishing threat has not been vanquished, while Dean Turner, director of Symantec Corp.'s global intelligence network, says to be careful: phishing attacks tend to spike as the holiday season approaches.
According to IBM's report, the types of business e-mails that phishing attacks mimic have changed. Last year, 90 percent of all phishing e-mails mimicked banks. This year, banks made up 66 percent of the fraudulent e-mails while security experts are seeing more e-mails dressed up to look like online payment services, like PayPal.
Ninety-nine percent of all phishing e-mails target North Americans and Europeans. North Americans, however, seem to be the primary target of two-thirds of all phishing emails, a fact that the report suggests phishers believe "that North America is rebounding from the financial crisis faster than Europe, and so they are refocusing their sights on North American banks."
Over half of all phishing e-mails are sent from Russia.
The advice to protect yourself against phishing e-mails remains the same: log on to your sensitive sites, such as banking, directly. Never follow e-mail links.

It's a good day to be in the Flyin' Miata camp. As of the conclusion of Day 3 of competition, both the Targa Miata and the Supercharged 2006 MX-5 hold the top position in their respective classes. While Keith and Janel Tanner have managed to sling their 430-horsepower machine through Wednesday's nine stages to take the top slot, Brandon Fitch and I overcame a few small obstacles to zero all of our times through the day. Despite my fat-fingering the egg-timers ahead of the incredibly technical Greenspond stage, we came in just two-seconds outside of dead zero and well within our plus or minus nine-second window.
I also received a front-row showing of Fitch's driving prowess after the car stalled at the start of the third-to-last stage. In a desperate push to make up lost time, the Flyin' Miata engineer pushed the 240-horse Miata to 128 kph through a series of undulating turns. That figure is just two kph shy of our maximum allowable speed. Crossing that barrier brings all sorts of unsavory penalties.
Thursday will bring forth a whole new set of challenges as our window narrows to plus or minus five seconds. While we used today to train ourselves to arrive at the flying finish well within our final day tolerances, fatigue is beginning to set in on both Brandon and I, greatly increasing the chance of a careless error that could cost us our lead. Regardless of how we wrap up on Friday, the fact that we can say that we tied for first across the first three days of the 2011 Targa Newfoundland is a story I'll be blathering at cocktail parties for years.

Jadeveon Clowney (pronounced jə-DEH-vee-on CLOW-nee;[1] born February 14, 1993[2]) is an American football linebacker[3] for the Houston Texans of the National Football League (NFL). He graduated from South Pointe High School in Rock Hill, South Carolina and played college football at the University of South Carolina. A unanimous College All-American as a sophomore in 2012, Clowney set South Carolina school records in quarterback sacks (13.0) and tackles for a loss (23.5) per season while also earning Defensive Player of the Year honors in the Southeastern Conference. Described by ESPN as "one of those rare game-changers on defense",[4] Clowney was projected to be a top 5 selection in the 2014 NFL Draft,[5] and was picked first overall by the Texans.[6]
A native of Rock Hill, South Carolina, Clowney attended South Pointe High School, where he played for the South Pointe Stallions high school football team. Already 6-3 and 200 lbs as a freshman in 2007, he played running back and defensive end for the school's junior varsity team.[7] For his sophomore year he joined rising seniors Stephon Gilmore and DeVonte Holloman (both four-star recruits) on a South Pointe varsity that came off a 9–4 season. By spring practice, Clowney became a permanent fixture at defensive end.[7] "We knew we had something special. He was 13 years old in that big athletic body. He was wreaking havoc on our offense that spring and fall," said Bobby Carroll, his coach at South Pointe.[7] South Pointe went 15–0 for the season, including a 35–14 win over town-rival Northwestern High at Memorial Stadium, Clemson, for the 2008 South Carolina AAAA Division II title and a No. 3 spot in the annual MaxPreps high school ranking.[8] Despite playing nearly the entire season with a bone spur in his foot, Clowney finished with 17 sacks. He elected to have surgery on the bone spur in January 2009.[7]
South Pointe lost 31 seniors after the 2008 season, including Gilmore and Holloman. Still, Clowney helped the team to a 10–4 record for the season, and a state semifinal berth, where the Stallions lost to Northwestern. Clowney finished the season with 144 tackles and 23 sacks. For his senior season, Clowney tallied 162 tackles, 29.5 sacks, 29 tackles for loss, 11 forced fumbles and six fumble recoveries, and scored five touchdowns on defense while leading his team to a 13–2 record. South Pointe made the state finals for the second time in three years, but lost 23–27 to Myrtle Beach at USC's Williams-Brice Stadium. Still, Clowney was named South Carolina's 2010 Mr. Football.[9] South Pointe was 38–6 during his three varsity seasons.
Immediately following his senior season, Clowney went to Spartanburg for the Shrine Bowl of the Carolinas, where he registered 5 tackles (2 solo, 3 assists), 3 sacks for a loss of 15 yards, 2 tackles for a loss of 17 yards and 2 quarterback hurries. Clowney was lined up against the North Carolina left tackle on every snap he played and drew five holding calls.[10] After the Shrine Bowl, Clowney headed to Orlando, Florida, for a week of Under Armour All-America Game practices and then the all-star game itself. He was the leading tackler for the Red with seven and had 1.5 sacks. Recruiting analysts were particularly interested in his matchup with Cyrus Kouandjio.[11]
Afterwards, Clowney headed to New York City, for a photo shoot for an ESPN the Magazine feature story that appeared in the journal's February 7, 2011 issue.[12]
During his high school career, Clowney was often regarded as the best player in his class. ESPN described him as "a special talent who could have vied for the top spot in several previous classes."[13] Both major recruiting services, Rivals.com and Scout.com, as well as ESPNU, considered Clowney not only a five-star recruit, but also the No. 1 overall prospect of the 2011 class, basically throughout his senior year.[14][15][16] Unsurprisingly, he received scholarship offers from nearly every perennial BCS powerhouse.[17] However, Clowney left his decision open until after National Signing Day of 2011.
In a live broadcast on ESPN on his eighteenth birthday—February 14, 2011—Clowney announced his commitment to South Carolina, selecting the Gamecocks over Clemson, Alabama, Louisiana State, and Florida State.[18][19] He was the third-straight South Carolina "Mr. Football" to sign with the Gamecocks, following in the footsteps of his South Pointe teammate Gilmore, and Duncan Byrnes' Marcus Lattimore.[20] "I wanted to play in the SEC. It was easy," Clowney said. "I knew a week ago. I just tried not to tell anybody."[20] Just days earlier, a story in the New York Times questioned Clowney's academic eligibility,[21] but Clowney told reporters he had "no concerns and would be fine".[19]

As a true freshman at South Carolina, Clowney played in all 12 games of the season. He started the season opener against East Carolina, becoming the first freshman to start on the defensive line since Travian Robertson in 2007. In his debut, Clowney had seven tackles, a pass breakup and a QB hurry. A week later in the SEC season opener against Georgia, Clowney recorded his first career quarterback sack in the second quarter, tackling Bulldogs quarterback Aaron Murray for a 7-yard loss. With just over three minutes remaining and USC clinging to a 38–35 lead, Clowney sacked Murray at the 10-yard line, causing him to fumble. Fellow defensive lineman Melvin Ingram recovered the football and returned it for a touchdown to put South Carolina up by 10.[22] Against Vanderbilt, Clowney forced two fumbles, including one that again was recovered by Ingram and returned for a touchdown. In mid-October against Mississippi State, Clowney picked up a sack, forced fumble, and two quarterback hurries. In South Carolina's 30–13 win over Nebraska in the Capital One Bowl, Clowney recorded four tackles and two sacks of quarterback Taylor Martinez.
For the season, Clowney was credited with 36 tackles, including 12 for a loss of yardage. He ranked eighth in the SEC with 8.0 sacks, the only freshman in the top 10, and logged five forced fumbles. He earned SEC Freshman of the Year and All-SEC 2nd Team honors from the league's coaches, and was also named to multiple Freshman All-American 1st Team lists, including The Sporting News, FWAA, Rivals.com, and CBSSports.com.
In his sophomore season, Clowney emerged as the best defensive player in college football.[23] While helping South Carolina to an 11–2 (6–2 SEC) record, he set the school single-season record for sacks (13.0) and tackles for loss (23.5). He also amassed 54 tackles (40 solo) and 3 forced fumbles.[24] Against Alabama–Birmingham, Clowney was credited with seven tackles with 3.5 tackles for loss and 2.0 sacks, for which he was named the SEC Defensive Lineman of the Week. In the 27–17 win over Clemson, he sacked Tigers quarterback Tajh Boyd for a single-game school record 4.5 times, earning SEC Defensive Player and Defensive Lineman of the Week honors again.[25] It was also a Clemson Memorial Stadium record, topping the previous mark jointly held by Notre Dame's Ross Browner (1977) and Virginia Tech's Bruce Smith (1984), both College Football Hall of Famers. Along with being a Unanimous All-American, Clowney won the Ted Hendricks Award as the nation's best defensive end. Additionally, he was a finalist for the Chuck Bednarik Award, the Bronko Nagurski Trophy, the Lombardi Award, and finished 6th overall in the 2012 Heisman Trophy voting.[26] Following Clowney's incredible sophomore season, he was voted by the fans as the 2012 AT&T All-America Player of the Year on January 7.[27][28]
In the Outback Bowl on January 1, 2013, Clowney helped the Gamecocks to a 33–28 victory over the Michigan Wolverines.[29] He gained instant fame for a hit on Michigan running back Vincent Smith that came with 8 minutes left in the fourth quarter,[30] after a controversial call in Michigan's favor. The hit forced a fumble that Clowney himself recovered, which then set up a touchdown on the next play.[31] On July 17, 2013, Clowney won the 2013 ESPY Award for best play for that hit.
Following much off-season hype, Clowney began his junior season as a frontrunner for the Heisman Trophy.[32] In the season-opener against North Carolina, weakened by gastroenteritis, appeared "tired" and only registered three tackles.[33][34] After a slow start into the season, while being plagued by minor injuries, Clowney's Heisman chances began to fade.[35] His decision to sit out the Kentucky game with a muscle strain near his rib area caused media controversy.[36] In a much anticipated rematch with Tennessee offensive tackle Antonio Richardson, Clowney recorded a season-high five tackles, including four solo, in an overall performance that was widely praised.[37] He sat out another game, against Coastal Carolina, ailing with bone spurs in his right foot on November 23.[38]
Clowney finished his junior season with 35 tackles, 10.5 for a loss of yardage, and three quarterback sacks—considerably lower in each category compared to his sophomore year.[39] Nonetheless, he was again a first-team All-Southeastern Conference (SEC) selection.[40] However, after receiving unanimous All-American honors in 2012, Clowney was only selected to one 2013 All-America team—by the American Football Coaches Association.[41]
After South Carolina's 34–24 win over Wisconsin, in which Clowney had five tackles including one for a loss, he announced that he was going to skip his senior year.[42]
As early as January 2013, Clowney was projected as a top-3 selection in the 2014 NFL Draft.[43] "Clowney's a rare talent, basically to the defensive end spot what Andrew Luck and RG3 were to the quarterback position," said ESPN analyst Mel Kiper, Jr. "These type of prospects just don't come along very often."[4] NFL media analyst Bucky Brooks described Clowney as a "meaner, nastier version of Julius Peppers."[44] Clowney's injuries, as well as his mediocre performance early in his junior season reportedly do not scare NFL executives.[45][46] Late September 2013 mock drafts still ranked Clowney among the top-2 picks.[47][48] After the college season concluded, Clowney was projected No. 4 by Sports Illustrated.[5] In a postgame interview after the Capital One Bowl, Clowney confirmed he was going to enter the 2014 NFL Draft.[42]
At the NFL Combine in February 2014, Clowney excelled in the 40-yard dash, posting an official time of 4.53 seconds, the fastest among defensive linemen,[49] which caused USA Today calling him "by far the most freakish physical specimen in this draft."[50]

Clowney was selected as the number one overall pick by the Houston Texans in the 2014 NFL Draft.[52] Clowney joins David Carr and Mario Williams as the third player selected first overall by the Texans. He is also the first defensive player selected No. 1 overall since Williams. Clowney will wear #90.[53][54] Since the Texans run a 3-4 defense, Clowney will project to be a rush outside linebacker.
Clowney's mother, Josenna Clowney, has been a processing technician at the Frito-Lay plant in Charlotte, North Carolina, since 1994.[55][56] His father, David Morgan, was released from prison in 2006 after serving nearly 12 years for robbing a Rock Hill check-cashing business in 1995.[21][55][57] With his father incarcerated for much of his childhood, Clowney was raised by his mother and his maternal grandparents, John and Josephine Clowney, as well as his mother's longtime boyfriend, Christopher Jones.[57]

Katy Perry has again expressed her desire to collaborate with Rihanna.
The 'Teenage Dream' star said she was hopeful that the duet would come off in the future, but only if the song was right.
"But the thing is we're not just going to cash in on that idea unless it's bulletproof, because you really only get one shot at that."
Katy added: "We're friends above and beyond all the other stuff, so if we're going to work together it has to be dynamite."
Meanwhile, Katy also said she was a big fan of Rihanna's new video 'We Found Love'.
She said Rihanna had shown a "really honest side" with the video for the first single off her new album 'Talk That Talk' out in November 21st.

The new Mrs Russell Brand has forgiven her best friend for missing her wedding.
When kooky Katy Perry, 26, and randy Russell Brand, 35, got married in India, everything was perfect – except the maid of honour was missing.
Though she partied with Katy in Las Vegas before the ceremony, Rihanna missed her Big Day.
'I was upset she couldn't make it but let me promise you, there was no one more upset about it than her,' Katy tells Now.
'When you have an album coming out you don't have a spare second in the day and you're answerable to the record company.'
The girls haven't fallen out about 22-year-old Rihanna's no-show.
'She felt really bad she couldn't be there but we're still the very best of friends,' Katy said.
'My girl organised the best bachelorette party ever and I'll always love her to bits.
'It was just one of those really unfortunate things.'

Rihanna stepped out in New York City on Wednesday to sign copies of her new photography book, Rihanna, and she dished on her pal Katy Perry's wedding.
Rihanna wasn't able to make it to Katy and Russell Brand's wedding, which was held last weekend in India, but she tells ET, "We've been texting each other." She pointed out, however, "Ever since she's been there it's been no text messages because there's no service out there."
Rihanna may not have been able to travel to the other side of the world to cheer her friend on, but she did make time to buy a gift. "I got her a really, really cool gift, but I'll let her tell you about that," Rihanna dished, keeping the fabulous present to herself.
We can't wait to see the gift! ;D

George Zimmerman Verdict: Ice Cube, Rick Ross, Russell Simmons, John Legend, Wyclef Jean + More React

Lately it seems like the 1 golden rule in Hip Hop it "Don't Snitch', and if you do, you can instantly lose your fan base.
In this case I don't think neither will lose their fan base, but I think people will start to look at them differently, and I do think they will be in a whole whirl wind of trouble.
Hopefully people will stop putting stupid things on their social media sites and this should be a lesson to all.
Chart-topping rhyme-spitters Meek Mill, Future, A$AP Rocky, Kanye West and Big Sean are No.'s 10 through 6, respectively, on MTV's annual Hottest MCs In the Game list for 2013.
The one thing I like about Hip Hop is battle rapping from 2pac, Ice Cube, UTFO, LL Cool J.
But one of the hands down best battle rappers is Philadelphia's very own Cassidy.
Angered after challenging another Philadelphia artist and Rick Ross' partner in rhyme Meek Mill, and not getting a response Cassidy decided to make a diss track about him.
Listen to Keyshia Cole's new song 'Zero' featuring Meek Mill. Cole and Meek Mill come together to talk about a sensitive issue in romantic issues. Take a listen below and see if you have ever been in this predicament.
Mariah Carey sits ring side with Rick Ross to cheer on Meek Mill in 'Triumphant (Get Em)' video. The legendary singer Mariah Carey release the video for her fire single, 'Triumphant (Get Em).'
Undoubtedly, the summer of 2012 belongs to the Bawse Rick Ross. The Maybach Music honcho and his elite duo of MCs Meek Mill and Wale cover VIBE's annual 'Juice' issue (August/September 2012). While Rozay, Milly and Folarin hold down the front cover, other MMG members Stalley, Omarion and Gunplay are featured in the gate fold.
Hot. That's about the best way we can describe not the weather, but Mariah Carey's brand-new single 'Triumphant (Get 'Em),' featuring Maybach Music Group's Rick Ross and Meek Mill. Mariah goes Maybach and the result is nothing short of stellar.
Maybach Music Group rapper Meek Mill has released his new video for his controversial single 'Amen' on Sunday (July 15), a day of worship for most religious people. The clip, directed by Dre Films, features fellow rhyme-slinger Drake and the backdrop of Mill's beloved hometown of Philadelphia.

Peroxisomes play an important role in cellular metabolism. Defects in peroxisome assembly or of a single peroxisomal pathway are associated with a wide variety of inherited disorders, including X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy, Zellweger spectrum disorders, rhizomelic chondrodysplasia punctata, and Refsum disease. A group of peroxisome-specific biomarkers has been shown to be characteristic of specific defects. Patients with defects in peroxisome fatty acid beta-oxidation accumulate very long-chain fatty acids (VLCFA), patients with defects in plasmalogen synthesis are deficient in erythrocyte membrane plasmalogens, and patients with mislocalized pipecolic acid oxidase accumulate pipecolic acid in body fluids. This unit describes three protocols that can be used to measure plasma VLCFA, erythrocyte plasmalogens, and plasma or urine pipecolic acid by capillary gas chromatography (GC) or GC-mass spectrometry. These techniques can be used to identify the majority of patients with known neurogenetic peroxisome disorders.

Oregon State University (OSU) is a coeducational, public research university located in Corvallis, Oregon, United States. The university offers undergraduate, graduate, doctoral degrees and a multitude of research opportunities. There are more than 200 academic degree programs offered through the university. OSU's programs in microbiology, nuclear engineering, ecology, forestry, public health, biochemistry, zoology, oceanography, food science and pharmacy are recognized nationally as top tier programs.[citation needed] The OSU's liberal arts programs have also grown significantly and the department is considered a "cornerstone" of the institution.[4] More than 200,000 people have attended OSU since its founding.[5] The Carnegie Foundation classifies Oregon State University as part of its top tier of research institutions.[6]
As of 2008, OSU is one of 73 land-grant universities.[7] The school is also recognized as a sea-grant, space-grant and sun-grant institution, making it one of only two US institutions to obtain all four designations and the only public university to do so (Cornell is the only other with similar designations).[5] OSU receives more funding for research, annually, than all other public higher education institutions in Oregon combined.[5]
The university's roots date back to 1856, when Corvallis Academy, the area's first community school for primary and preparatory education, was founded. In 1858, the school's name was changed to Corvallis College and formally incorporated by members of the Freemasons.[8][9] The school offered its first college-level curriculum in 1865, under the administration of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South.
On August 22, 1868, official Articles of Incorporation were filed for Corvallis College. October 27, 1868, is known as OSU Charter Day, the day that the Oregon Legislative Assembly designated Corvallis College as the Agricultural College of the state of Oregon and the recipient of Land Grant fund income. As part of this designation, the college was required to comply with the requirements set forth in the First Morrill Act. The name was changed to Corvallis State Agricultural College and was then authorized to grant the Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Science, and Master of Arts degrees. The first graduating class was in 1870, granting Bachelor of Arts degrees.
In 1890 the college became known informally as Oregon Agricultural College (OAC), with the name change becoming official several years later. Orange was adopted as the school color, with black as the background. The Olmsted Brothers developed the first Campus Master Plan in 1909, emphasizing trees and an architectural harmony showcasing basic classical forms in brick. The current campus design generally follows this original plan and is laid on a grid of wide, tree-lined streets. Well-partitioned buildings accent open lawns along the main passages and are mostly surrounded by clusters of tall trees. The overall scheme gives it a quaint, early American institutional feel common to campuses found in the Midwest or Southern U.S.[citation needed]
The Division of College Extension was organized in 1911 with Ralph Dorn Hetzel as director and, in 1912, the first off-campus faculty were placed in Marion and Wallowa counties. The Army ROTC became active in 1917, replacing the original Cadet Corps formed by students studying Military Science. In 1919, OAC began a horticultural products processing program, the first of its kind in the United States. Accreditation was granted in 1924 by the Northwest Association of Secondary and Higher Schools.
1927 marked yet another name change, this time to Oregon State Agricultural College. The Oregon Unification Bill passed by the Legislative Assembly in 1929 placed the school under the oversight of the newly formed Oregon State Board of Higher Education. Doctoral education was first provided in 1935 with the conferral of four Doctor of Philosophy degrees. This year also saw the creation of the first summer session. The growing diversity in degree programs offered led to another name change in 1937, when the college became Oregon State College.[10]
The university's current title, Oregon State University, was adopted on March 6, 1961 by a legislative act signed into law by Governor Mark Hatfield.
In 2007, Scott Reed was named the Vice Provost for Outreach and Engagement as OSU Extension Service and OSU Extended Campus were aligned under this new division.

For the Fall 2011 academic year, the university received over 12,000 freshman applications. U.S. News & World Report considers OSU to be "selective."[16]
Research has played a central role in the university's overall operations for much of its history.[17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26] Most of OSU's research continues at the Corvallis campus, but an increasing number of endeavors are underway at various locations throughout the state and abroad. Current research facilities, beyond the campus, include the Seafood Laboratory in Astoria and the Food Innovation Laboratory in Portland.[27] The university's college of oceanic and atmospheric sciences operates several state-of-the-art laboratories, including the Hatfield Marine Science Center and two oceanographic research vessels out of Newport.[28] The oceanography department is now leading the largest ocean science project in U.S. history. The project dubbed "Endurance Array," features a fleet of undersea gliders and six sites with multiple observation platforms. The first three of the platforms will be deployed off Newport in 2013 and a second set of three off Grays Harbor in 2014.[29] OSU also manages nearly 11,250 acres (4,550 ha) of forest land, which includes the McDonald-Dunn Research Forest.[30]
The 2005 Carnegie Classification of Institutions of Higher Education recognized Oregon State as a "Comprehensive Doctoral with Medical/Veterinary" university. This is one of only three such universities in the Pacific Northwest to be classified in this category. In 2006, Carnegie also recognized the university as having "Very High Research Activity," which makes OSU the only university in Oregon to attain these combined classifications.[31]
The National Sea Grant College Program was founded in the 1960s. OSU is one of the original four Sea Grant Colleges selected in 1971.[32]
In 1967 the Radiation Center was constructed at the edge of campus, housing a 1.1 MW TRIGA Mark II Research Reactor. The reactor is equipped to utilize Highly Enriched Uranium (HEU) for fuel. Rankings published by U.S. News & World Report in 2008 placed Oregon State eighth in the nation in graduate nuclear engineering.
OSU was one of the early members of the federal Space Grant program.[33] Designated in 1991, the additional grant program made Oregon State one of only 13 schools in the United States to serve as a combined Land Grant, Sea Grant and Space Grant university. Most recently, OSU was designated as a federal Sun Grant institution. The designation, made in 2003, now makes Oregon State one of only two such universities (the other being Cornell University) and the only public institution with all four designations.
In 1999, OSU finished a $40 million remodel to the campus library. Known as the Valley Library, the totally remodeled building was selected by The Library Journal as their 1999 Library of the Year, the first academic library so named.[5]
In 2001, the university's Wave Research Laboratory was designated by the National Science Foundation as a site for tsunami research under the Network for Earthquake Engineering Simulation. The O. H. Hinsdale Wave Research Laboratory is located on the edge of the campus and is one of the largest and most sophisticated laboratories for education, research, and testing in coastal, ocean and related areas in the world.[34]
The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences funds two research centers at Oregon State University. The Environmental Health Sciences Center[35] has been funded continually since 1969 and the Superfund Research Center[36] is a newer center that started funding in 2009.
OSU administers the H.J. Andrews Experimental Forest, a United States Forest Service facility dedicated to forestry and ecology research. The Andrews Forest is a UNESCO International Biosphere Reserve.

OSU has more majors, minors and special programs than any other university or college in Oregon.[41]
Other recent recognitions include a 2007 ranking by STACK magazine, in which OSU was selected as one of the nation's top 50 universities in "academics, athletic opportunity and overall performance." The school ranked 29th overall, making it one of only two Northwest schools in the top 30 and the only university from the state to receive a ranking.[42]
As a top tier forestry school, OSU is widely considered the nation's leader in the subject. Of the 53 forestry programs at North American universities; OSU's College of Forestry was ranked first by a 2006 survey "in the total number of professional publications, first in the number of 'citations' to those publications, and is perceived by academic colleagues as the leading forestry program in North America."[43]
In its 2013 edition, U.S. News & World Report ranked Oregon State University 142 nationally and as the 73rd Top Public university. The 2010 edition of Academic Ranking of World Universities (ARWU) ranked Oregon State in the "101 to 150" tier for universities worldwide.
Its Department of Geosciences, College of Veterinary Medicine, College of Pharmacy, Public Health, Nuclear Engineering as well as many other programs and departments are among the top ranked in the nation.[44] The school itself is also ranked by the EPA as one of the greenest schools for using renewable energy and for its recycling programs.
In 2012, ECONorthwest conducted an economic impact analysis that found that each year OSU has a $2.06 billion economic footprint. $1.93 billion of this total was in the state of Oregon.[45][46]
In the department of DHE, the major of merchandising management (fashion schools.org) ranked on the top 4th out of 75.[47]
The 400-acre (160 ha) main campus is located in Corvallis, in the Willamette Valley. In 1994, OSU was rated the safest campus in the Pac-10 in a study of universities.[48] In September 2008, the Oregon State University campus was designated the Oregon State University Historic District by the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP).[49] It is the only college or university campus in Oregon to have a historic district designation.[50] The effort to have the John Charles Olmsted-designed campus listed on the NRHP took two years.[50]
OSU recently completed the construction of a branch campus located in Bend. This new branch campus is called OSU-Cascades and offers students living in the more central region of the state an opportunity to attend select classes at a campus location closer to their homes.
The academic programs are divided among twelve colleges and two schools, each with a dean responsible for all faculty, staff, students, and academic programs. Colleges are divided into departments administered by a department head or chair. Each department is responsible for academic programs leading to degrees, certificates, options, or minors.

Corvallis is the tenth largest city in the state. Still, it is a relatively small community and many of the local events have a strong connection to the university. Oregon State has over 300 active student organizations and groups, the most of any university in the Oregon University System. The campus is located only a few hours driving distance from any number of outdoor recreation opportunities. Several federal and state natural forests and parks make up popular student destinations. These include the Cascade Range, a rugged coastline, several large forests, the high desert and numerous rivers and lakes. Portland, Oregon's largest city, is 85 miles (137 km) north of the campus.
From 1930[55] until 1968, Oregon State University was home to the Gamma chapter of Phrateres, a philanthropic-social organization for female college students. Gamma was the third chapter of the organization, which eventually had over 20 chapters in Canada and the United States.
The majority of older students at Oregon State University live off-campus, but on-campus housing is available and typically home to incoming freshmen. There are 14 residence halls on campus, which are organized into individual Hall Councils. Residents make up the membership and each council holds their own elections to select management over the hall government. All of the councils are managed by the Residence Hall Association (RHA).[56]
The LaSells Stewart Center is the conference and performing arts center for the campus. Many famous speakers have graced the stage of the campus' main auditorium, Austin Auditorium, while the Corvallis-OSU Symphony plays there frequently. The OSU Office of Conferences and Special Events is located within the auditorium.
The University is host to a radio station, KBVR 88.7 FM, a television station, KBVR TV 26, and an award-winning student newspaper, The Daily Barometer.
Two Oregon State students are members of the Oregon Student Association Board of Directors.
Notable among a number of songs commonly played and sung at various events such as commencement, convocation, and athletic games are: Hail to Old OSU and the Alma Mater.
In a 2008 national ranking based on academics, athletic opportunity and overall performance, Oregon State was chosen as one of the "premier" universities in America. This ranking, performed by STACK magazine, places Oregon State 29th in the nation's "Elite 50" universities and uncontested within the state that year.[57] Since then, the University of Oregon has joined Oregon State in the STACK rankings.
The history of Oregon State athletics dates back to 1893, when "Jimmie the Coyote" was chosen as the college's mascot.[58] This was replaced by the beaver in 1910; it has remained the school's mascot. In 1915, the college became one of the four charter members of the Pacific Coast (Athletic) Conference.
Football is played in Reser Stadium. The current costumed mascot Benny the Beaver made his first appearance in 1952. The next year, 1953, saw the opening of the football facility, Parker Stadium (now named Reser Stadium). The Raising Reser campaign expanded the stadium from 35,000 seats to 46,200 throughout 2006–07. A time lapse video recording of the expansion is viewable on the internet.[59] 1962 saw OSU's (and the west coast's) first Heisman Trophy winner, quarterback Terry Baker. The University of Oregon is often seen as the school's key athletic rival, with the annual Civil War football game between the two teams being one of the nation's longest-lived rivalries.
Trysting Tree is the name of Oregon State's golf course, dedicated in 1988, the tournament level course has been recognized by Golfweek magazine as one of the top five collegiate golf courses on the West Coast.[citation needed] Its name is traced to a tree near Benton Hall where student couples would meet and make dates. Basketball is held in Gill Coliseum, named after former Beavers coach Slats Gill. The Civil War is one of the most contested rivalries in the nation. Baseball is held in Goss Stadium at Coleman Field. The OSU baseball team, managed by Pat Casey, won back-to-back NCAA Division I Baseball Championships in 2006 and 2007.[60] Softball is held in the OSU Softball Complex. Opened in April 2001, the $1.5 million OSU Softball Complex seats 750. Oregon State hosted a Regional and Super Regional tournament in the 2006 NCAA tournament, winning both and moving on to the Women's College World Series.
Oregon State has a total of three NCAA championships. In addition to the two baseball titles, the Beavers won the 1961 NCAA Men's Cross Country Championship. In 1975, the men's rowing Varsity-4 with coxswain team won the Intercollegiate Rowing Association National Collegiate Rowing Championships in Syracuse, New York, establishing a course record which stood for 15 years.[61] In 2006 and 2008, the Oregon State racquetball team won the USA racquetball intercollegiate championship.[62]
As of 2009, the total student enrollment (undergraduate and graduate) at OSU was 21,969. As of November 11, 2010, total enrollment had increased to 23,761 students. The jump gives OSU the largest enrollment of the state's two major universities.[63]
In accordance with the University's mission for diversity, many organizations, clubs, and departments have been formed, including the Office Of Community and Diversity[64] and several cultural and resource centers.
Oregon State University has several cultural centers aimed at promoting diversity and supporting students of color, including the Lonnie B. Harris Black Cultural Center, Native American Longhouse, Asian & Pacific Cultural Center, and the Centro Cultural César Chávez.
In addition to its mission of ethnic diversity, Oregon State University supports its lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender population with a Pride Center.
On Oct. 26, 2007, Oregon State University publicly launched "The Campaign for OSU," a $625-million fundraising effort and the university's first comprehensive capital campaign.[65] Originally intended as a seven-year effort, in October 2010 the campaign goal was increased to $850 million after gifts from more than 53,000 donors surpassed the initial goal nearly a year ahead of schedule. In March 2012 leaders announced a new goal of $1 billion to further provide opportunities for students, strengthen Oregon and conduct research that changes the world. Campaign priorities include initiatives supporting a diverse, high-achieving student body and those focused on three core areas of distinction in OSU's strategic plan:[66] sustainable earth ecosystems, health, and economic growth and social progress. The campaign will run through 2014 and will help propel the university to a new level of distinction and global leadership.
OSU launched the campaign in collaboration with the Oregon State University Foundation, the nonprofit organization chartered to raise and administer private funds in support of the university's education, research and outreach. A Campaign Steering Committee of alumni and friends is led by co-chairs Patricia V. Reser '60, James H. Rudd and Patrick F. Stone '74.[67] The OSU Foundation is governed by a volunteer Board of Trustees.[68] It holds assets of $563 million and manages the majority portion of the university's endowment, valued at $412 million (June 31, 2011).[69]

Producer Teases Newer, Edgier Britney Spearsby Free Britney at . Comments
Britney Spears' new single, "Hold It Against Me," has already made music history by making her the second artist ever to have two songs debut at #1.
What does the rest of her new album have in store?
"It's way more edgy than the last album," says Claude Kelley, who composed several tracks for the as-yet-untitled album, referring to Circus.
HARDER: Britney Spears is gonna get gritty.
He adds that Spears is returning to the tougher, grittier sounds of 2007's Blackout. "[It's] more in the vein of the album before [Circus]," he says.
"The last album [Circus] was more clean pop. [Its purpose] was to reintroduce Britney to the world as the pop princess ... this is much edgier."
Basically, get ready for some club-worthy tracks.
"Dr. Luke and Max Martin are running the show, and it's all about the beats. It has a heavier bass line and it's harder, more urgent, more club."
For an idea of what her new stuff might sound like, follow the jump to listen to the just-released "Hold It Against Me" and a track from Blackout ...
