SAGU holds off Lady Eagles rally, win 68-66
Lady Lions roar to 27-point lead behind Winston, Rodriguez
Key games with USAO and Wesleyan this week
Box Score, Play-by-Play (access below)
Current Standings: http://www.soonerathletic.org/sport/0/5.php
WAXAHACHIE, Texas -- Southwestern Assemblies of God University built a 27-point lead with fourteen minutes remaining and held off a furious comeback to edge Southwestern Christian University, 68-66, in a Saturday matinee at the Sheaffer Center.
Doing everything well, the Lady Lions dominated the game for nearly two-thirds. Nia Winston (Garland, Tx / Lakeview Centennial HS , Panola College), who poured in a game high 25 points, seldom missed and led a solid defensive performance with four steals.
Two other players joined her with standout exhibitions; junior Jirah Rodriguez (Georgetown, Tx / Georgetown HS ) and Charity Page (Nacogdoches, Tx / Nacogdoches HS ).
Rodriguez had her second double-double of the season with 15 points and 10 rebounds. Page netted seven points while yanking down 10 boards. She blocked a shot and swiped the ball on one occasion.
SAGU leveled their record at 11-11 and improved their Sooner Athletic Conference mark to 5-7. They are in a three-way tie for sixth place in the league with Southwestern Christian (7-13 / 5-7 in SAC) and Texas Wesleyan University (9-11 / 5-7 in SAC).
The Lady Lions have a chance this week to move up in the standings.
Thursday the Purple Pride is at University of Science & Arts of Oklahoma (USAO) at 6:00pm. SAGU defeated the Lady Drovers (3-11 / 2-9 in SAC), 78-54, last month.
Fans can watch the game on livestream video or follow on a LiveStats webcast.
Next Saturday, February 8, the Lady Lions entertain their rivals from Texas Wesleyan. The game tips off at 3:00pm.
Lady Lions take 27-point lead on 45-14 run
Against the SCU Lady Eagles, the Pride fell into an early 9-5 hole. They finished the half on a 29-9 run with Winston and Rodriguez contributing 12 and nine points respectively.
Coach Arlon Beadles' team led at intermission, 34-18, after connecting on 12 of 27 (44%) of their shots.
Their defense completely shut down the Eagles. The visitors made just six of their 32 (19%) tries. Both teams had 22 rebounds, though SCU had outhustled Team Purple in grabbing 11 offensive rebounds.
When Winston gunned a three-ball, thanks to a pass from Shaquita Roberts (San Antonio, Tx / Byron Steele HS ), the Lady Lions had a 50-23 lead with 14:20 remaining.
Unlike a few recent games, the team came out strong to start the second half. Five different players scored during a six-minute, 16-5 surge.
Playing with a large lead, the squad began misfiring and turning the ball over. Down the stretch they made only 7-of-23 shots, including 2-of-3 from long distance.
Especially costly were six turnovers and making only 6-of-11 free throws. Permitting four offensive rebounds late in the game led quickly to four baskets.
Winston only had two shots over the final fourteen minutes. She made one, a triple with 10:19 to go.
Simultaneously, Southwestern Christian's production was met with a spatula.
They played with a sense of urgency that witnessed them convert 9-of-16 two-point shots and 5-of-10 from outside the arc.
Coupled with their 54% accuracy from the field, they swished 10-of-12 free throws.
The Lady Lions made several big baskets to counter the resurgent Eagles. Page scored inside and Kassy Cox (Lufkin, Tx / Lufkin HS ) converted an offensive putback. Winston sank 3-of-4 free throws.
But one sequence proved huge. Following Roberts' block a certain SCU layup, Rodriguez buried a trifecta for a 60-45 lead with 6:16 on the clock. Then she tossed in a jumper to maintain that lead at 62-47 (5:47).
The Eagles reduced the deficit to 64-61 on an old-fashioned three-point play by Adrianna White.
Winston answered with two clutch foul shots at 0:52 before Taylor Hill (Waxahachie, Tx / Waxahachie HS) split a pair for a 67-61 lead with twenty-nine seconds left.
Lydia Ross launched a three-pointer at the 0:18 mark. Three seconds later Winston sank one-of-two from the charity stripe to give SAGU a 68-64 upper hand.
Ross added a midrange jumper to close the scoring, then SAGU missed a free throw with three seconds to go.
The Eagles attempt to get the ball upcourt was thwarted when Rodriguez batted the ball away in the backcourt as time expired.
Ross was tops in scoring for SCU with 22 points, ten more than her previous season high. The Eagles finished the game making only 33% of their shots. The Lions were true on 42%.
Turnovers were even (18 apiece), as were free throws made (16).
The difference was rebounding, where SCU held a 44-40 margin, which included an 18-12 edge on the offensive glass.
It enabled them to establish a 66 to 55 surplus in shots attempted. It was almost enough.
SAGU swept both games this season, including a 57-52 victory in Bethany, Oklahoma.
The win surpasses last year's total (10) with eight games left; five of them at home.

Include bone marrow when making stock?
- p
- peanuttree Jan 30, 2010 03:12 PM
When making stock, when you think about it, shouldn't you NOT include marrow?
This question really only applies to beef and veal stock, since chicken bones are too small for you to be able to scoop out the marrow.
I've been thinking, shouldn't you scoop out the marrow before you make stock with bones? Won't the marrow just make the stock cloudy and/or add weird little chunks to it? And most of the gelatin and flavor comes from the meat and bone - it seems to me, as tasty as marrow is, it would be an "off" flavor in stock, which is just supposed to taste meaty. And marrow will just add more to the fat that needs to be scooped out later. Does the flavor of the marrow even go into the stock? Wouldn't it not since oil and water don't mix (and marrow is mostly oil/fat)?
Any thoughts?
I roast the bones, then put them into the stock pot and cook with the rest of the ingredients. They get strained out when the stock is done. If the stock is cooked slowly on low heat the coligen melts into the stock liquid and enhances the flavor.
As long as the bones aren't cracked, the marrow shouldn't really come out in the way you're describing. Heck, maybe the bones filter the marrow? Either way, I've never scooped the marrow out of my soup bones. If you really want to be hardcore classical, you could always do the egg white raft after to clarify and remove guck like that.
If chefs or home cooks had to scoop out marrow from legs bones before making stock, stock would cease to be made. Simply put, too much work.
Marrow is the fatty network of connective tissue inside bones, which produces red blood cells. Slowly simmering the stock allows the collagen ( collagen is synthesized in bone marrow, and found elsewhere in the bones and carilage) to melt into the stock and enhance flavor and texture. The bones are not usually cracked before making stock, although sawed bones will have marrow exposed, the marrow is not removed before making stock, it doesn't leave weird chunks in the stock, it doesn't leave an "off" flavor in the stock, but rather enhances the flavor, it will still be contained in the bones when you remove them from the stock (as you can see by observing the cut end of the bone) after simmering the prescribed length of time. As for fat content, bone marrow is comprised of red hematopoietic tissue, and yellow marrow, which is fat cells. So marrow is not all fat.
Forget about the marrow. It's an integral part of the stock process.
I would never make a conscious effort to remove the marrow.
Part of the reason is that I don't care what my stock LOOKS like -- either cloudy or crystal clear.
I only care about how my stock TASTES like, and in my opinion the marrow definitely adds flavor.
The only reason to scrape out marrow is if your making a pipe with the bone... and that would take place long after you have extracted the wholesome, hearty goodness and flavor.
I was taught to put a healthy splash of vinegar in when any kind of bone is involved.
re: Rojellio
Well, in lieu of vinegar as an acid, I sometimes put red wine into my beef stock when simmering...but just for a punch of flavor. What is it that the vinegar does to the bone/stock?
It is known that immersing bone in acid will deminerialize it over time, but a healthy splash of vinegar is not an acid bath.;-)
re: bushwickgirl
An acid, like vinegar or a squeeze of lemon juice, helps extract the calcium and also helps dissolve the collagen.
re: ipsedixit
Ok, I guess I knew that, but I'm wondering why so few stock-making formulas don't call for the addition of an acid. Maybe it's just because the collagen breaks down over the long simmering time anyway. As I wrote, I use red wine occasionally in beef stock for flavor, but don't think the small amount of acid in a few cups of wine to gallons of water would affect the collagen levels particularly. I would definitely object to a stock with a underlying vinegar note; it would result in a final sauce not being made from the pure flavor I was looking for.
re: bushwickgirl
The vinegar (or sometimes in my case, lemon juice) cooks off during the stock making process.
I often add an acid to my stock (not very much, just a bit), and have never had an acidic aftertaste.
re: ipsedixit
How does it cook off? Do you mean evaporate or the acidic flavor is nullified in some other manner?
When I add red wine, I can detect the flavor of it in the finished stock.
Far and away from bone marrow...
In Cookwise, Shirley Corriher recommends cracking chicken bones before making stock, to allow the marrow to flavor the liquid. Nobody knows everything, but I have a lot of confidence in her wisdom and knowledge.
Including the beef marrow is a matter of personal preference when it comes to texture of the stock. Roasting and simmering the bones will extract a fair amount of marrow but a good amount stays hidden in the bones. The last time I made beef stock, I used a long metal skewer, scraping & poking all of the marrow out of the bones into the stock after the bones had simmered for a hour. The stock simmered for another 5 hours to concentrate and reduce. As I said it is personal preference, with the added marrow, the stock had a velvety smoothness and more depth. It made a sumptuous, silky smooth, french onion soup.
re: phokingood
Definitely! While you should skim some of the fat should be skimmed, the marrow adds a tremendous velvety feel that is sooo luxurious.
Leave the marrow in the stock. If you roast the bones and vegetables and do not boil rapidly the stock should remain pretty clear. If you need a crystal clear stock, for a consomme or aspic etc,you can go through the clarification process but that will make your stock less flavorful. You can then reduce or add MSG to recover some of the lost flavor.
I will frequently scoop out the marrow and spread it on toast for a cook's treat. I don't do this with all of the marrow bones because when I make beef stock, it is usually a large amount and that would just be too much marrow to consume at one time, so into the stockpot goes the marrow.

Tumor Specific Plasma DNA in Breast Cancer
- Full Text View

- No Study Results Posted
- Disclaimer
- How to Read a Study Record
In 2011, there was an estimated 233,000 cases of invasive breast cancer, and 39,970 deaths from breast cancer in the United States. The vast majority of patients are diagnosed with Stage I-III resectable and potentially curable disease, and for these patients, the most pressing questions are whether adjuvant endocrine or chemotherapy are indicated, and if so, how to determine whether these treatments are working. Adjuvant systemic therapy reduces relative recurrence rates by 30-50%, depending on the age of the patient and tumor characteristics. However, patients with early stage disease often do not bear measurable markers of disease such as an elevated cancer antigen 27-29 (CA27.29) or circulating tumor cells. Patients with early stage breast cancer are typically treated with adjuvant therapy based on historical evidence showing that such therapy prolongs survival in this population.
The contents of dying tumor cells can be detected in the bloodstream, and this may be enhanced by the leaky vasculature of solid tumors. Protein biomarkers of tumor cell death are difficult to detect due to the complex nature of plasma and the lack of technical sensitivity. In contrast, DNA is easier to detect through polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification. Indeed, circulating tumor DNA has been detected in plasma from patients with osteosarcoma, breast cancer, and colorectal cancer. Until recently, it was impractical to develop an assay to routinely quantify circulating tumor DNA due to heterogeneity between patients and tumors. Advances in genomic technology now permit sequencing a tumor genome to identify patient-specific genomic aberrations. Major genomic alterations (i.e., insertions, amplifications, deletions, inversions, translocations) can be readily detected using PCR primers which will recognize tumor DNA but not normal DNA.
While this strategy may be generally applicable to diverse types of solid tumors, two issues are apparent in breast cancer. Firstly, the incidence of chromosomal rearrangements varies widely. Whole-genome sequencing of 15 breast tumors revealed a range of 1-231 major genomic alterations (mean= 68), where 2 tumors had 1 alteration, and 9 tumors had > 20 alterations. Single-base point mutations are more common but difficult to reliably detect using PCR. Therefore, the investigators must consider that a small subset of patients may have a limited number of genomic alterations available for this assay. Secondly, intratumoral heterogeneity may mean that some genomic alterations are not present in every tumor cell. Such heterogeneity has been inferred from FISH and immunohistochemistry (IHC) studies for many years, and is now being verified at the genomic level. The investigators must consider that only a subpopulation of tumor cells may be sensitive to cytotoxic therapy, so changes in the levels of circulating tumor DNA may only be reflected with analysis of genomic alterations specific to the sensitive cells.

|Official Title:
|Tumor Specific Plasma DNA in Breast Cancer
- Circulating tumor levels correlation to response [ Time Frame: 6 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]To determine whether acute increases in the levels of circulating tumor DNA correlate with response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy in women with early-stage breast cancer.
- Circulating tumor DNA following surgery [ Time Frame: 6 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]To determine whether the levels of circulating tumor DNA acutely decrease following surgical resection of a primary breast tumor.
- Half life of circulating tumor DNA [ Time Frame: 6 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]To determine the half-life and optimal timing for detection of changes in levels of circulating tumor DNA.
- Circulating tumor DNA detection following surgery [ Time Frame: 6 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]To determine whether circulating tumor DNA detectable at 1-2 weeks following surgical resection of a primary tumor predicts disease recurrence.
- Circulating tumor DNA correlation with pathologic complete response [ Time Frame: 6 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]To determine whether the fall in circulating tumor DNA correlates with pathologic complete response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy.
- Circulating tumor DNA correlation with clinical evidence of disease recurrence [ Time Frame: 6 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]To determine whether circulating tumor DNA levels increase prior to clinical evidence of disease recurrence.

Just in case you haven't heard enough about Microsoft's Zune, ZuneInfo.com says that Microsoft has launched two Web sites with enough info to get you pumped up about the upcoming portable player.
Zune.net is everything you wanted to know about Zune in one spot. It features info and pictures about the product and its add-ons, artist information with some downloads to personalize your portable, and a list of upcoming Zune events. It's a chance to meet geeks just like you!
The other site, Zune Arts is Flash-based and features some funky little movies and bizarre artwork. Not entirely sure what any of it has to do with the product, but it's a good 10 or 15 minutes well spent.
To recap, the Zune is Microsoft's crack at making an iPod killer. Not sure if this device will be the almighty iPod slayer that everyone has claimed to be in the past, but I certainly like their stable of weapons: 30GB of storage, built-in Wi-Fi, an FM tuner and a 3-inch color display.

November 27, 2014
PARIS (AP) - An Iranian opposition movement that the United States recently took off its list of terror organizations has hosted a U.S. congressional delegation for the first time.
Mujahedeen-e-Khalq - the militant wing of a France-based Iranian opposition group - gave a raucous welcome Sunday to the four American lawmakers. The meeting comes after a Feb. 9 rocket attack at the Camp Liberty refugee camp in Iraq that houses many of its members. MEK officials say seven people died and dozens were wounded.
U.S. Rep. Dana Rohrabacher, a California Republican, accused Iraq of breaking its promise to help protect the 3,100 refugees at the camp.
Iraq's Shiite-led, pro-Iranian government considers MEK a terrorist group and wants the international community to speed up the resettlement of the refugees elsewhere.

The way several candidates jumped in and then out of races for Fort Worth City Council and school board might suggest a lack of commitment -- or just frigid toes from testing the waters.Voters shouldn't be misled: The May local elections are serious business.Representatives at the city and county levels are closest to people who elected them. They're the officials whom residents and neighborhood coalitions have the best chance of influencing. Typically low turnout means local races are where every individual vote can matter most.Contested elections involving cities and school districts will be on the May 11 ballots in Fort Worth and Arlington. Hurst, Euless and the Hurst-Euless-Bedford school district have races. The powerful but obscure board of the Tarrant Regional Water District has seven candidates, including three incumbents, running for three seats.Voters in the Birdville and Weatherford school districts will be asked to approve multimillion-dollar bond packages for classroom, technology and security improvements. Birdville's $183.2 million package is already seeing vigorous debate because it would close two elementary schools and send those students to other campuses. Board President Ralph Kunkel also faces a challenger, Jeffrey Ritter.Weatherford's $107.3 million bond proposal includes a ninth-grade wing for the district's high school.Four Fort Worth council members drew opponents who've stayed in the running. (One candidate withdrew to learn his new neighborhood better; another appeared to have announced his withdrawal but later said it was just mischief by a now-ex friend.)Expect drama as two former council members seek to regain their seats: Jim Lane is challenging council member Sal Espino in District 2 on the city's north side, and Kathleen Hicks is running against council rookie Kelly Allen Gray in District 8 in southeast.Espino lost a 2003 attempt to unseat then-councilmember Lane but won the seat in 2005 after Lane stepped down. Lane, a lawyer who sits on the water board, came in second to Betsy Price in a 2011 runoff for mayor. Gray won the District 8 seat last year after Hicks resigned to run, unsuccessfully, for Congress.Porsche dealer Paul Gardner is running against District 4 council member Danny Scarth; and member Frank Moss is being challenged by nonprofit executive Gyna Bivens, who's a former T board chair, and real estate broker John Tunmire.The predominantly Hispanic north side also can expect a tussle for school board as podiatrist Camille Rodriguez challenges trustee Carlos Vasquez, who unseated her in 2008. Juvenile probation officer Jacinto Ramos also is running.Juan Rangel, who was first elected to the board in 2000, faces event planner Ashley E. Paz and homemaker Melody Palacios in District 9, which runs from the city's northeast side to the near-south.The new District 8 seat on the south side briefly had a three-way race, but J.R. Martinez, who was appointed last year, dropped out, as did another candidate. That left businessman Matthew Avila to take the seat without a fight.In Arlington, incumbents Kathryn Wilemon, Lana Wolff, Michael Glaspie and Mayor Robert Cluck have opponents. But those races have less intrigue than Fort Worth's. One of Cluck's challengers is retired economist Jerry Pikulinski, who's failed in three previous tries at mayor. And Glaspie, a former school trustee who won a special election in 2012, is opposed by Richard Weber and Joe McHaney, who've run unsuccessfully for other offices in the county.Arlington school board members John Hibbs and Jamie Sullins drew challengers. But the five candidates for two H-E-B board seats are all newcomers.H-E-B superintendent Gene Buinger has announced his retirement, and the current board picked longtime administrator Steve Chapman to replace him. The stakes in these elections are significant. Voters should start educating themselves.

Mens Traverse Jacket
Shopping Info
|Patagonia Men's Traverse Jacket - Mist at the trailhead, sunshine through the ferns and swirling skies over the pass - the dependable men's Traverse Jacket from Patagonia handles it all and keeps pace with your stride the entire way. The breathable, fast-drying and stretchy recycled polyester/spandex fabric is treated with a Deluge DWR finish to resist wet weather. The Traverse seals out wind and chill with wind flap zipper cover and garage, a mesh-lined stand-up collar, and gathered elastic cuffs. A drawcord waist and hem and a slightly dropped tail provide additional protection. Zippered handwarmer pockets keep your hands warm, and the zippered left bicep has an interior cord pass-through. With reflective logos on the front and back, the Patagonia men's Traverse Jacket is reading for the trail.
Sizing for Patagonia Men's Traverse Jacket:
Note - this garment has a slim fit: Closer-fitting technical garments may be worn over baselayers and light midlayers.
Of all the fabrics I've worked to help develop over the last 12 years, one of the most impressive is found in the Traverse-jacket. This is a trim-fitting, wind-shedding, rain and snow repellent jacket that is great for rock climbing, warmer alpine climbs, running, or trekking on cool, humid, or windy days. I recently recommended the Traverse Jacket to a friend who was looking for a piece to wear rowing on chilly mornings and he loves it.
I bought this jacket for runs on the beach with the wind. It has been an excellent purchase and repells moderate rain as well.
This jacket was a bit thinner than i was expecting but still a good jacket for me. I have used it in the rain and when I need just a bit more covering. Very happy with this purchase.

Nourishing Your Mind and Body: Manage Stress for Better Health - FS 1730
People have different definitions of stress. Probably the most common definition is "physical, mental or emotion strain or tension." Stress is different for all of us. People will perceive the same stressor in a number of ways and, therefore, react to it differently.
Know Your Prescription and Nonprescription Medications - FN1720
Many people take prescription or nonprescription medications on a regular basis. Do you know how to properly store and dispose of medications? Do our medications interact with any foods? Know the questions to discuss with hour healthcare provider.
Nourish Your Skin - FN1572
A Healthy Skin Diet is Like the Heart-healthy Diet.
Using More Pulse Foods In Your Diet - FN1714
Pulse foods are rich sources of protein, fiber, vitamins such as folate, and minerals such as iron and potassium. They are low in fat and sodium, and are naturally gluten- and cholesterol-free. Researchers have reported that regular consumption of pulses may reduce the risk of heart disease, diabetes and certain types of cancer. The purpose of this publication is to show how to use more pulse foods in your diet and provide tested recipes and two weeks of sample menus at the 1,800- and 2,100-calorie levels.
Nourish Your Joints - FN1489
Most of us experience some joint stiffness during seasonal changes. However, degenerative diseases such as arthritis can inhibit daily activities.
Nourish Your Bones - FN1488
Keeping our bones healthy is a lifelong process. As we get older, our bodies may break down bone faster than we can make new bone. This can cause problems if our bones don't have enough stored nutrients to keep them strong. Eating nutrient-rich foods and getting weight-bearing physical acti vity help keep our bones in good shape no matter what our age.
Size up the Supplement - FN1491
Supplements have different serving sizes and intake recommendations. To determine how many milligrams (mg) of a nutrient are in each capsule, divide the milligrams of that nutrient by the number of capsules in each serving size. Remember, you probably are getting some vitamins and minerals from your diet. Be sure to include both supplements and dietary intake when considering if you are getti ng the right amount of a nutrient.
Eating For Your Eye Health - FN709
We cannot change our genetic inheritance, but we can exercise and eat a diet rich in fruits and vegetables.
Now Serving Beans! - FN1485
If you're looking for a way to stretch your budget and improve your family's nutrition, look no further. Consider adding more beans to your menu. They're convenient, versatile and lend themselves to many tasty dishes. Beans are a rich source of protein, fiber, vitamins and minerals. Replace some of the fat in baked goods such as brownies with mashed black beans. Beans can be added to casseroles or soups to add flavor, texture and more nutrients.
Nourish Your Mind and Body With Accurate Health Information: How to Sort Fact From Fiction - FN1697
We're all bombarded with information about nutrition and/or health in magazines and newspapers, and on TV and online through social media, blogs and YouTube videos. Also, family and friends might share information with us. With all this information, how do we separate fact from fiction? What are the clues to reliable health information in today's fast-paced world? This publication will help you sort through the vast amount of nutrition and health-related information that is available.
All About Beans - FN1643
Beans are among the most versatile and commonly eaten foods throughout the world, and many varieties are grown in the U.S. Because of their nutritional composition, these economical foods have the potential to improve the diet quality and long-term health of those who consume beans regularly. The purpose of this publication is to provide evidence-based nutrition and health information about beans, preparation tips, sample recipes and references for further study.
Finding the Truth II: Are Popular Nutrition and Health Information Sources Reliable? - FN600
We're all bombarded with information about nutrition and health. This publication will explore a few popular nutrition information sources and ways to determine if information is reliable.
Finding the Truth I: Reliable Nutrition and Health Information - FN569
It is impossible to keep up with each new study, fad, fraud, cure, exposé, warning or hope that is being promoted or reported by someone. We can, however, build ourselves a box of tools to help us analyze these claims. This publication will give you a head start in making a rational decision about the nutrition and health information you see.
Steps to Reducing Trans Fat and Saturated Fat in Recipes - FN1687
Let's practice our heart-healthy fat knowledge by modifying a brownie recipe.
Questions and Answers About Sodium and Its Impact on Our Health - FN1686
Excessive sodium in our diet can increase our blood pressure, especially in salt-sensitive individuals. High blood pressure, or hypertension, is a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Heart disease and stroke are the first and fourth leading causes of death in the U.S., making cardiovascular disease responsible for one of every three deaths in the country.
Questions & Answers About Fats in Our Diet - FN1685
Through the years, certain foods fall in and out of public awareness and favor. This certainly has been true of fats, such as those found in margarine and butter. For example, for a time, margarine was recommended instead of butter for health reasons; more recently, margarine has gotten bad press because it contains trans fat. The sometimes-conflicting messages in the media can create confusion, so this publication discusses the different types of fat and current research-based recommendations for health, and it answers common questions about dietary fats.
Love Your Heart! - FN1689
The heart is a pump that provides oxygen to each and every cell of the body. Feel your pulse: Each time your heart beats, it is moving blood by expanding and contracting. It is a muscle that is essential to life, which is why treating your heart with care is so important. Keeping your heart strong starts with good choices we make when we are young. Being physically active and eating a healthful diet keeps our heart beating strong.
Teens and Protein: How Much Do You Need? - FN1682
Protein is essential to life and needs to be consumed with each meal. The amount of protein you need depends on your height, weight, whether you are a boy or girl, and your level of activity. In general, teenage boys need about 52 grams of protein per day, while teenage girls need about 46 grams per day. However, if you are small or large for your age, or very active, your needs are different.
Eat Smart: Become a Pro With Protein - FN1681
The amount of food from the Protein Foods Group you need to eat depends on your age, whether you are a boy or girl and the amount of physical activity you get. Most people eat enough food from this group.
Questions and Answers About Using a Boiling Water-bath Canner - FN1425
Water-bath canning is a method of preserving high-acid foods. Fresh foods contain a high percentage of water, which makes them very perishable. High-acid foods can be preserved safely when they reach temperatures provided by a boiling water-bath canner. To kill harmful molds, yeasts and some bacteria, processing using the boiling water-bath method ensures the safety of preserved produce. However, this method does not provide high enough temperatures to destroy botulinum spores in low-acid foods such as vegetables.

Ginger Pear Bread
A great way to use up extra pears, this bread is packed with juicy chunks of them, along with ginger, cinnamon, brown sugar and whole wheat flour. It's a healthier choice than many other baked brunch items—and it freezes well. —Carly Curtin, Ellicott City, Maryland

Horrifying, but we cannot say we were not warned back in the 60´s with the "new math", where when you add two and two, whatever you say the answer is, is okay. Ditto self-esteem; you are entitled to self-esteem simply for breathing. You need not accomplish anything. You´re a Sesame Street baby where everyone loves you.It´s very discouraging.

Education is driving me nuts. Took our daughter out of public schools-2nd grade was far too early to teach her about intraveneous drugs, homosexual sex etc.....and the Common Core push was in full throat.....so now she is in Catholic school. FAR more diversity than the suburban public school, only 7 kids in the class, far less emphasis on CC(but still needs to meet State Curricula standards so....)But the diversity is mostly from Trenton. Tough girls(all girls school) and my kid-while not at all being pushed around) is less than happy there. Wants to go back to the old school.I am SO conflicted. Her happiness is paramount, but I am also aware of her FUTURE happiness is predicated on her education NOW.I am so not looking forward to the start of the year.

Vermilion Parish Schools Superintendent Jerome Puyau is asking his fellow superintendents from across the state to join him tomorrow at the State Capitol as state legislators discuss education reforms in the state.
In a letter to the other superintendents, Puyau says that state officials have developed, changed, and revised education standards for the state's public schools without consulting superintendents and others who have to abide by those standards. Tomorrow's committee meeting, Puyau says, gives the superintendents a chance to be a part of the process.
Puyau notes that he and other superintendents are not looking to completely discard the Common Core State Standards recently implemented by the State Board of Elementary and Secondary Education.
"We would like to keep high rigorous standards but would like a panel to review the standards to make sure all are age appropriate," Puyau said.
One of the bills on tomorrow's House Education Committee agenda would create a panel to review the state's standards for public school students. Two other bills on the agenda would eliminate PARCC assessments and reinstate LEAP testing. Another bill would allow school districts to create and develop their own curriculum.
Puyau tells KATC that he is not sure how many superintendents will be in Baton Rouge for tomorrow's hearings, but he did note that he saw several superintendents attending today's legislative session.

HENDRY COUNTY, Fl. - WINK News is uncovering big cutbacks of public safety workers: twelve deputies and six paramedics in Hendry County.
Right now, the race is on to find ways to make up for a budget shortfall before the pink slips go out.
Folks in Hendry County pleaded their case to get a piece of a dwindling money pot. The County has about a 63 million dollar budget.
But, they're trying to make up about a two point two million dollar shortfall.
"There just isn't enough money to go around," says Chairman, Tristan Chapman.
And the Sheriff's Office 10 and a half million dollar budget could see a 690-thousand dollar cut. That means twelve deputies would lose their jobs.
"I've only got 40 providing services to people right now, to the tax payers and citizens and you know I'm afraid that if we have to go there and make that kind of a cut, it's gonna be the wild west," says Sheriff Steve Whidden.
EMS services could also face some cuts. Their total budget: $2.75 million. The county is proposing to slash 225-thousand dollars.
That means one ambulance and six EMS workers are on the chopping block.
Many times during the day time over here in western Hendry County, with the caller rate, we don't have an ambulance in town, all three ambulances are transporting," says Randy Bengston, Public Safety Director.
Hendry is the poorest county in Florida but they've also seen the biggest tax increases in the past few years. County Commissioners say, in order to avoid any cuts, they would have to increase taxes by 18-percent, something that gets mixed reaction especially when it comes to public safety.
"I'd be willing to pay more if I was confident in the people that are using the money, and I don't have that confidence so at this point, I'd say no," says resident, Buddy Strickland when speaking about the County Commissioners.
Another resident says, "I'd be willing to pay more not to see cuts taken because there's some cops out here that would do their job right."
Leaders are considering pulling money from the county's solid waste fund to avoid the cuts. The final public hearing and budget decisions will be made on the 25th.

By that I mean he's able to control the game at both ends of the ice with very, very little flash. Plays mistake-free hockey and takes advantages of things when they're given. He's playing on the PK and PP and has been very effective at both from what I've seen. If you just isolate him and watch him for an entire shift, there is just so much that he does well that you never notice while watching the regular flow of the game. Very, very impressive. I'm really excited about his potential.
Totally and completely agree. Pysyk, IMO, has maybe been our best blue-liner so far this season. Every single game, it seems like he's making smart, safe plays in his own end, and smart, opportunistic plays in the offensive zone. He's also impressed me with his attitude of the ice in interviews and such. Seems like he's got a really good head on his shoulders. Can't wait to see how he continues to develop.

I have - it's not a magic bullet & for Chinese specifically I think it's harder for beginners to start with. If you have used RS for other languages & like the format, then *maybe* for Chinese also but I think it's more effective after you have a decent understanding of the language. Couple 3rd party reviews: (disc: I run studymorechinese, no affiliation with other sites) http://studymorechinese.com/page/chinese-rosetta-stone-review http://www.tomschinablog.com/rosetta-stone-mandarin-chinese-independent-review/ Tom's blog disagrees with some points I note above so you'll want to compare. I know some people like RS but many are disappointed once they realize how much effort it takes to learn. Personally, and much cheaper, I like http://chinesepod.com/ a lot for learning (goes great with coffee) because so much of Chinese is listening/speaking & they have entertaining content. Skritter & RememberIT's Chinese flashcards both seem decent / popular for characters - I haven't used though. MIT, BBC, youtube and lots of other free resources available also but usually less structured learning. Good luck.

Thanks, studymorechinese, for all your tips! I will check out the chinesepod and your site. I haven't tried RS but see all the ads. Are you fluent or a native Chinese speaker?

studymorechinese Group TitleBest ResponseYou've already chosen the best response.2
No problem, I wish I was that good - I started about 10 months ago. I did RS to start (had a "borrowed" copy) but wasn't really working. Enrolled in a formal class & subscribed Chinesepod after arriving in Shanghai. Use cpod daily, although sometimes while playing video games at the same time so hard to call it real studying. But that's what I need, something I have no excuse to skip. I started the website as a different way to practice - if I had a site to keep up to date it meant that I had to keep studying otherwise the site would fall apart. Having it helps with commitment, which is one of the hardest things for me.

rainbow Group TitleBest ResponseYou've already chosen the best response.0
Thanks for sharing. If you're in Shanghai, then you'll have plenty of practice to become more fluent. I studied Mandarin in college, used it in Taiwan, and then have not used much while back in the U.S. Good luck with your class---is that in a college or private class with other folks from U.S./UK ? How's your reading and writing?

wshoey Group TitleBest ResponseYou've already chosen the best response.0
I agree with studymorechinese, except I would go further and say that Rosetta Stone is a complete waste of time; Chinesepod is worlds better. I used RS before I came to China for a month and learned almost nothing. Started using Chinesepod after being in China for about two months and learned a ton. Now been living and studying here for two years, and I still use Chinesepod every day; speaking is no longer a problem and I am working on buffing up my reading and writing so that I can handle reading the paper without looking up the characters every five words.

BradRapstars Group TitleBest ResponseYou've already chosen the best response.0
Rosetta Stone is completely useless for any non-European language, because at least with conjugations you can discern grammatical rules and you don't have to brute force learning characters. Chinesepod is infinitely better.

samk97 Group TitleBest ResponseYou've already chosen the best response.0
It was pretty amazing for me to learn. I think it's different for everyone because everyone has different learning types, but I learned the language within about a year or so. Highly recommend it if your a quick learner.

Tiffy Group TitleBest ResponseYou've already chosen the best response.0
I have personally used it, for Mandarin, Tagalog, and Japanese and Rosetta Stone is not a very good language learning tool at all. It doesn't provide explanations, grammar information, or translations: it's picking and guessing based on pictures. There are several studies that prove that it is not a good language learning tool as it claims, and based on my experience, I agree.

The fit of this fender is not that much better than the imported repo fenders. You or your bodyman will still need to spend significant time trying to match the door contour. The left is better than the right for some reason. I cannot recommend spending the excessively higher cost for these fenders over the imported repops.
