Cook, Bake, Boil and Bubble... It's all about creating, experimenting and playing with food in my Colorado kitchen.
Friday, October 8, 2010
Spaghetti with Sausage
3 links of Italian sausage, slices into chunks
1 green pepper, diced
1 medium onion, diced
1 clove garlic, diced fine
Salt, to taste
Anise seed, to taste
Oregano, to taste
1 large can (28 ounces) of ground tomatoes
1/4 cup red wine
1/2 pound spaghetti (or noodles of your choice)
Drizzle a little olive oil into a heavy bottomed pot or dutch oven and begin browning the sausage on medium heat. Add the onions, green pepper, garlic, and herbs. Stir to combine and cook until the vegetables begin to soften, stirring as needed. Add the tomatoes and wine, and lower the heat to simmer.
Taste to adjust seasonings, and simmer until the vegetable and meat are cooked though. Longer cooking is fine if you have the time, but this can be served as soon as the meat is fully cooked.
Cook the pasta in boiling salted water until it is barely al dente, then add it it to the sauce to finish cooking.
Serve. Eat. Yum.

Torrington tax tales
Refunds denied, double billing, mail mixups
|Robert T. Crovo, Torrington's tax collector Republican-American archive
TORRINGTON — Christina Desousa's cheeks were wet with tears when she walked in to the mayor's office to file a complaint about her experience in the tax office Tuesday.
The single mother of two children, who has tried collecting a $194 refund she is owed from the 2009 tax year, had been told since May she would never get paid.

Things We Like: Big thinkers tuning into TV, Trinity gets collaborative, Stuff drops the girls
Some things in the media business we liked in the week up to 4 July, and one thing we didn't....
Proving that telly can still attract the biggest thinkers, Thinkbox has assembled a top-flight panel for its Think@Bafta event today (Thursday). Joining the likes of Peter Fincham, Sir John Hegarty (pictured) and Laurence Green is the brand strategist and author Ian Leslie, who has written a piece on curiosity in this week's Campaign. View the debate at campaignlive.co.uk from Friday.
Trinity Mirror's Kellogg collaboration
Trinity Mirror is continuing its flexible and collaborative approach with a six-month multimedia partnership with Kellogg. The deal, around Kellogg's education programme Origins, was brokered by the publisher's Invention department and Carat. The initiative will include collaboration with Bauer Radio and Netmums to target both children and parents. As part of the deal, three editions of Primary Times will help Kellogg promote its programme regionally and nationally.
Stuff dropping the girls
Shock news as the tech title Stuff takes the decisive step to drop scantily clad women from its covers after 18 years. Images of models parading gadgets are almost as well-worn as the ones with them draped over car bonnets, but the editor-in-chief, Will Findlater, this week said digital audience profiling, focus groups and cover trials all showed that readers were in favour of the "non-girl" covers. It seems the lads' mag era is truly over.
And one thing we don't…
Sneaky Facebook
Do you ever get the feeling that someone's "playing" you? Revelations that the world's largest social network conducted secret psychological experiments on its users have not gone down very well this week. When Facebook manipulated news feeds to display fewer positive stories, it found that the users seeing them then generated more negative posts themselves. Perceptions about what's private and public – and the exact motivations behind the "research" – seem to be the sticking points here.

Are You Label-Able?
Eating healthfully and following a meal plan are key components of good diabetes care whether you use oral medicines, insulin, or diet and exercise to manage your diabetes. Knowing how to read a food label can help you choose healthful foods, figure out portion sizes, count carbohydrates, limit sodium or fat, and keep track of calories. Understanding how to use the information found on food labels can also help you to choose foods that meet your vitamin and mineral requirements. In short, being "label-able" can take the guesswork out of healthful eating.
Label legalities
Raw, unprocessed fruits and vegetables, meat, fish, and poultry are not required to have nutrition labels, though voluntary labeling is strongly encouraged, and 70% of U.S. food stores provide this information, either by posting it near fresh food displays or by labeling foods such as meats that are packaged in the store. Other foods that are not required to bear nutrition labels include food prepared for immediate consumption such as restaurant, cafeteria, and airplane food; ready-to-eat food prepared primarily on-site, such as bakery store items; foods prepared by some small businesses; and medical foods (special foods prescribed by a physician to manage a disease or health condition). Restaurants that make health claims for certain foods on their menus or in advertising are required to provide nutrition information for those foods.
Nutritional and herbal supplements have Nutrition Facts labels similar to those on packaged foods, but they are regulated by the FDA under a different set of guidelines, the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act of 1994. Under this act, supplement manufacturers are responsible for making sure dietary supplements are safe before they are marketed and that label information is truthful and not misleading. The FDA has strict guidelines that regulate the types of information and health or nutrition claims allowed on supplement labels.
Nutrition information on food labels can be found in several locations. These include the Nutrition Facts panel, the ingredients list, and other areas of the label where health claims may be displayed.
The Nutrition Facts panel
Nutrient information allowed but not required on nutrition labels includes calories from saturated fat, polyunsaturated fat, monounsaturated fat, potassium, soluble fiber, insoluble fiber, sugar alcohols and other carbohydrates, percent of vitamin A present as beta-carotene (a nutrient found in plant foods that is converted to vitamin A in the body), and other essential vitamins and minerals (those the body cannot make at all or in sufficient quantities to meet its daily needs). If a health claim is made anywhere on the food package about a nutrient that is allowed but not required, that nutrient must be included in the Nutrition Facts panel. No nutrients other than those specifically required or allowed are permitted on the Nutrition Facts panel.
Serving size. The serving size is the portion size for which all of the nutrition information on the food label is based. In the past, serving sizes on labels were determined by individual manufacturers, and they varied a great deal. Today, serving sizes are standardized, and all manufacturers are required to use the same standard portion sizes. Standard serving sizes are based on amounts people typically eat in a single sitting, and they must be provided in both common household measures, such as cups, tablespoons, or slices, and as a weight in grams (g) or volume in milliliters (ml).
If you look at these sample food labels for pizza, you can see that the serving size for the vegetarian pizza is 1 pizza (170 g), while the serving size for the meat pizza is 2 slices (154 g). Even though the pizzas themselves are different sizes, because the nutrition values are calculated for a similar amount of pizza, you can easily compare the fat, calories, and other nutrients in the two products.
Not all foods fit neatly into standard serving size categories, however, so the FDA allows manufacturers to adjust serving sizes and to round off values based on specific guidelines. This means that if you need very precise nutrition information about foods, it is most accurate to weigh foods on a food scale yourself.
A common mistake people make when reading food labels is to confuse the weight of the entire serving of food for the amount of carbohydrate in the food. For example, the total weight of the vegetarian pizza is listed as 170 grams, but only 47 grams are carbohydrate. If you want to know how much carbohydrate is in a serving of a food, be sure to look for "Total Carbohydrate" on the label.
Another common mistake is to assume that the nutrition information listed on the label is for the entire package of food. Sometimes, it is, but often, it is not. To find out how many portions of food a package contains, look at the "Servings Per Container." If this number is 1, the nutrition information provided is for the whole package, but if this number is greater than 1 and you intend to eat the entire package, you must multiply the amount of fat, cholesterol, sodium, etc., by the number of servings per container to find out how much of these nutrients you will be consuming.
For example, the "Serving Size" for the meat pizza on the sample label is 1/4 pizza, 2 slices (154 g). If you were going to eat the whole pizza, you would be eating four servings, so to figure out the amount of nutrients in your actual serving, you would multiply the nutrition information provided by 4. In this case, one serving has 510 calories and 43 grams of carbohydrate. If you were to eat the entire package, you would be consuming 2,040 calories (4 x 510) and 172 grams of carbohydrate (4 x 43 grams).
Percent Daily Value (%DV). Major nutrients on food labels, such as fat, cholesterol, sodium, carbohydrate, and protein, must be listed as a quantity, in grams or milligrams, and as a percent Daily Value. Percent Daily Values are reference values designed to help people see how a food fits into their overall diet. For example, the amount of fat in one serving of the vegetarian pizza is 9 grams, and the %DV is 14%. This means that one serving of this food provides about one-seventh of a typical person's recommended maximum daily fat intake, and seven servings would provide 100%. One serving of the meat pizza has 26 grams of fat and provides 40% of a typical person's daily fat intake, so just 2 1/2 servings would supply an entire day's recommended maximum fat intake.
The percent Daily Value also provides context for interpreting the quantities of nutrients in a food. For example, you could mistakenly think the meat pizza is a low-fat food, because 26 grams is a relatively small number, but when you look at the %DV, you see that it is actually a high-fat food, since one serving provides 40% of your day's fat intake. Alternatively, you might think that the vegetarian pizza is a high-sodium food because it has 360 milligrams of sodium, a fairly large number, but when you look at the %DV, you see that one serving provides only 15% of the average person's recommended daily maximum.
Most of the percent Daily Values on food labels are calculated for someone who needs 2,000 calories a day. (Exceptions are cholesterol, sodium, and vitamin and mineral values, which are the same for all healthy adults, no matter how many calories they eat.) Since you may have higher or lower calorie needs, the percent Daily Values on food labels may not be exactly correct for you. You can still use them to compare foods and to quickly determine the general nutritional quality of a food, but to find your personal nutrient values see "Personalizing the Percent Daily Value."
Calories. The "Calorie" information tells you the number of calories in one standard serving of the food. (The standard serving size is listed on the label under Serving Size.) Remember, the number of calories in your serving of food will depend on the portion size you actually eat, which may or may not be the same as the standard serving size. To determine the number of calories in your serving of food, measure how much you are eating and compare this to the standard serving size from the food label. If your portion is larger than the standard serving from the food label, you will need to adjust the calories from the food label up to account for your larger portion. If your portion of food is smaller than that listed on the label, you will need to adjust the calories down to account for your smaller portion.
Fat and cholesterol. This section tells you the amount of total fat, saturated fat, and cholesterol provided by one standard serving of food. (Again, if your portion is larger or smaller, you will need to adjust these values accordingly.) On some products, polyunsaturated fat, trans fat, and monounsaturated fat are listed as well. The American Diabetes Association (ADA) recommends that people with diabetes limit their fat intake to less than 30% of calories from fat and less than 10% of calories from saturated fat. (Because trans fats have similar health effects to saturated fats, your combined intake of trans and saturated fats should be less than 10% of your daily calorie intake.)
For example, if your daily calorie needs are 2,000 calories, your daily fat intake should be under 65 grams per day (30% of calories from fat). To figure out how much fat and saturated fat is OK for you, see "Personalizing the Percent Daily Value."
Sodium. This tells you the amount of sodium in one standard serving of a food. The ADA recommends that people with diabetes keep their daily total sodium intake under 2400 milligrams per day, and, conveniently, the percent Daily Value for sodium is based on 2400 milligrams per day, so it can help you see if a food is a high-sodium or low-sodium food and how easily it will fit into your diet. For example, 1/2 cup of regular chicken noodle soup may have up to 940 mg of sodium, which uses up 39% of your daily sodium intake. Reduced-sodium chicken noodle soup, however, may have only 450 mg of sodium, or 19% of your daily recommended maximum intake, so it is a healthier choice.
Carbohydrate. Understanding how to use carbohydrate information from food labels is particularly important for people with diabetes. The most important number for you to look at in this section is "Total Carbohydrate." It is listed in bold letters and tells you the amount of carbohydrate, in grams, found in one standard serving of a food. If you count carbohydrates, "Total Carbohydrate" is the number you should use to calculate carbohydrate choices. This is because research shows that most forms of carbohydrate (including starches, processed sugars, sugar from fruit, and sugars in milk) increase blood glucose levels similarly when they are eaten in equal portions. (The exceptions are dietary fiber, "resistant" starches, and sugar alcohols, which have less of an effect on blood glucose than other carbohydrates.) For more on using food labels to determine carbohydrate choices, see "Calculating Carbohydrate Choices."
Listed under "Total Carbohydrate" are the amounts of the different types of carbohydrate present in the food. These may include Dietary Fiber, Sugars, Sugar Alcohols, and Other Carbohydrates.
Many people are concerned about the amount of sugar they are getting. The amount of "Sugars" on a food label can give you important clues about how generally healthy a food is: Foods that contain a great deal of sugar are generally not good sources of fiber, vitamins, or minerals and may be high in total fat or saturated fat as well. Nonetheless, the number of grams of "Sugars" listed on the food label is not the most important factor to consider when evaluating how a food will affect your blood glucose level. "Total Carbohydrate" will give you a more accurate picture of how a serving of a particular food will affect your blood glucose level.
The "Dietary Fiber" listing on food labels can be used to identify healthier entrées, breads, grains, cereals, sweets, and snack foods. The percent Daily Value for fiber is 25 grams for a 2,000-calorie diet, but most Americans do not get that much fiber on a daily basis. To increase your fiber intake, try to choose breads, grains, and snack foods that provide at least 3 grams of fiber per serving and cereals and entrées that provide 5 or more grams of fiber per serving.
If you are eating a food with more than 5 grams per serving, you can subtract the grams of "Dietary Fiber" from the grams of "Total Carbohydrate" before you calculate the number of carbohydrate choices in your meal. This is done because dietary fiber is not digested and does not increase blood glucose levels.
Many sweets marketed to people with diabetes contain sugar alcohols, such as xylitol, mannitol, and sorbitol. Sugar alcohols have a lower caloric value and raise blood glucose levels less than other forms of carbohydrate, but foods made with sugar alcohols are not necessarily "healthier" or even lower in carbohydrate than foods sweetened with sugar. To determine how a food fits into your meal plan, look at the number of calories and amounts of "Total Carbohydrate," "Total Fat," and "Saturated Fat" the food contains. If the food has fewer calories and less carbohydrate and fat than other, similar products, it is probably a better choice, but in many cases, the amounts of "Total Carbohydrate," "Total Fat," or other nutrients are not significantly different for foods containing sugar alcohols than for other, similar foods. For example, if you compare the nutrition information for Murray Sugar-Free Fudge Dipped Shortbread Cookies made with sugar alcohols and a grocery store brand of Regular Fudge Dipped Shortbread Cookies made with sugar, you can see the sugar-free version is not necessarily a better choice.
Since sugar alcohols have a lower caloric value (2–3 calories per gram versus 4 calories per gram for other carbohydrates) and cause a somewhat lower blood glucose response, they are counted somewhat differently from other carbohydrates. If a food contains 5 grams of sugar alcohols or more per serving, you can subtract half the grams of "Sugar Alcohols" from the "Total Carbohydrate" value before calculating the carbohydrate choices in your meal or snack.
Protein. The amount of protein you need is based on your size, calorie needs, and stage of life. The ADA recommends that adults with diabetes get about 10% to 20% of their daily calorie requirement from protein. Most labels do not list a percent Daily Value for protein because most Americans get adequate amounts of protein and it is not considered a nutritional concern, so it does not need to be highlighted on the food label. In general, men need about 60 grams of protein per day, and women need about 45–50 grams of protein per day.
Vitamins and minerals. Labels are required to list vitamin A, vitamin C, calcium, and iron and are allowed to list information about other essential vitamins and minerals. This information is provided only as a percent Daily Value and is the same for all healthy adults. This information can help you make sure you meet the guidelines for intake of these important nutrients. For example, when choosing fruit juice, you can use the percent Daily Values to help you choose the juice that provides the greatest amounts of vitamins and minerals if you don't get enough of these nutrients elsewhere in your diet. If you look at the two apple juice labels below you can see that Apple Juice A is regular apple juice and has no calcium or vitamin C, but Apple Juice B has been fortified with these nutrients, and one 4-ounce serving provides 100% of the daily vitamin C requirement and 20% of the daily calcium requirement.
Ingredients lists
BREAD A: Whole Wheat Bread
BREAD B: Hearty Classic Health Nut Bread
Ingredients lists are particularly useful for people with food allergies. Common allergens such as wheat, milk products, nuts, and eggs are now highlighted in food ingredients lists or noted in a separate statement to simplify identification for consumers.
Label terms and claims
The FDA also regulates the use of health- or disease-related claims on food labels. A health claim is a statement about the role of a specific nutrient in maintaining health or preventing disease. Since these statements are commonly used by consumers to help them select more healthful foods, only health claims approved by the FDA are allowed on food labels. Foods that carry a health-related claim are required to contain specified levels of nutrients believed to be adequate to bring about the health result described in the claim. (See "Health Claims" for a list of these claims.)

Added Dec 10, 2011
Los Angeles, Cal...
I made a simple white dress with a fishtail skirt, trimmed with narrow black bias tape. The hem swoops from above the knee in front to almost at my ankles in the back. I used a fabric marker to write the words of E.E. Cummings' "i carry your heart with me" poem along the hem. To emphasize the carrying of a heart, I drew a heart onto another piece of fabric and fused it to the dress, then added red stitching along the outside.
This project was purely self-gratification, as I love this poem (and anatomy). The dress is a little much, though, for everyday wear, and its humble cotton sheet beginnings and emo heart are not quite right for special occasions either. But! I love how fantastically twirly it is and that's good enough for me.
More pictures and the details about my trials making this dress here.

Spanish Language & Culture in Madrid & Malaga:
Student Life
Generally Binghamton University sends between 35 and 60 students on the summer program;
these students come from Binghamton, several other SUNY schools, and a variety of
other colleges and universities. The organization that runs the program in Spain,
FORSPRO, generally has more than 200 students on the program from many different colleges
and universities all over the United States.
Because FORSPRO uses the entire Collegio Mayor Mara during the summer for its own program, you will not be living with, dining with, or taking classes with Spanish students. However, your instructors are primarily Spanish, and the program staff on-site, as well as the residence hall staff, are all Spanish as well, so you have many opportunities to practice your Spanish! Social life in Madrid, as in much of Spain, takes place outside the home in the coffeeshops, tapas bars, squares, and clubs of the city, so if you are interested in meeting young Spaniards, it is relatively easy to do so in these types of settings.
To enhance your knowledge of Madrid, a schedule of activities are programmed in Madrid during free time. These activities do not interfere with classes or other programmed activities. They are led by Spanish graduate students who know Madrid very well, and most students really enjoy these activities. Activities range from attending a bull fight or flamenco performance to riding the cable car up to the Casa de campo. Every participant is welcome to participate, and each individual is responsible for their OWN expenses.
While in Madrid, students are placed in a student residence hall with 3 meals daily except Sunday evening. The residence hall and location of classes is the Colegio Mayor Mara. It is situated in Madrid's Ciudad Universitaria, near the Complutense University of Madrid. Public transportation is close by and the center of the city is about 10 minutes away by subway. Students live in single rooms and the residence hall includes a swimming pool and other amenities. In Málaga, students stay in the small, resort town of Torremolinos. They live in double rooms in a hotel not far from the beach--two meals a day are provided during the Malaga portion of the program. A dorm coordinator in Madrid, and program staff in Málaga are available to provide support, address concerns, and give lots of advice about what to see and do! In Paris, and during the optional excursions, students stay in hotels in double rooms, and breakfast is the only meal provided.
Group Flight
The program organizes a round trip group flight from major cities including New York (John F. Kennedy Airport), Atlanta., Chicago, Los Angeles, and Miami. There are surcharges for departures other than from JFK Airport. The Binghamton group joins the flight departing from JFK, but students are welcome to use other points of departure if more convenient. If you wish to fly independently and get your own airfare, you will receive a credit of $1200 on the cost of the program. However, participants are highly encouraged to participate in the group flight. It will be more affordable than flying indpendently, because of both air tickets costs and because if you fly independently you will need to arrange your own transportation from the airport to meet the group.
Optional Excursions:
- Costa del Sol Tour Package (6 wk participants only): Panoramic Tour of La Costa del Sol in route to Granada no guide, full day in Granada no guide, one day visit with guide to Nerja and caves with guide full day Ronda with guide: for 6-week program students only: $185

Detroit Free Press mixes up Jim and John Harbaugh on front page (Photo)Nick Bromberg at Dr. Saturday11 mins ago
The Detroit Free Press got the Harbaugh brothers mixed up for the front page of its newspaper on Monday.
Jim Harbaugh, the former San Francisco 49ers coach, is looking like he'll be the Michigan head coach. And the Free-Press teased their story on Harbaugh's possible arrival at the top of the front page with a picture of his brother John, the coach of the Baltimore Ravens.
Yes, that's a Baltimore hat on John's head.
We realize mix-ups happen, but we're not sure if or how that passed through anyone in sports -- the hat should have been the giveaway. But on the bright side, it's better to do this now than at any point after Jim Harbaugh would become Michigan's coach, right?
Any announcement of his arrival will likely be Monday or Tuesday.

Jameis Winston says he'd throw on Seahawks CB Richard ShermanNick Bromberg at Dr. Saturday15 hrs ago
Jameis Winston was asked about the absence of Oregon CB Ifo Ekpre-Olomu on Sunday and said he hated that his team didn't get a chance to face a defender considered one of the best in college football.
"Well, I know a lot about Oregon's defense, period," Winston said. "I hate we don't get a chance to play against him. He's a great corner, but we played against [teammates] P.J. Williams, Ronald Darby, Jalen Ramsey, Tyler Hunter, on a daily basis. We see them every day, and I believe those guys are as good as he is, so we weren't really worried."
And then he upped the ante a little bit. If Ekpre-Olomu, who is out with a knee injury, was going to be in the Rose Bowl, Winston said Florida State wasn't going to avoid him.From Fox Sports:
"I don't mean to come off as arrogant, but we don't discriminate. Even if he was on the field, we were going to be looking forward to playing him.
Two East Carolina defensive starters ineligible for Birmingham BowlSam Cooper at Dr. Saturday15 hrs ago
East Carolina will be without two defensive starters in the Birmingham Bowl against Florida.
The program announced Sunday that nose tackle Terry Williams and safety Domonique Lennon have been declared ineligible and won't be able to play against the Gators on Jan. 3.
"While we are disappointed for Terry and Domonique, we expect everyone to succeed with the support system we have in place for our program," head coach Ruffin McNeill said. "We talk about being responsible on and off the field as one of our core values, and when certain expectations are not met, no individual is above being held accountable."
This is an unfortunate way to end the career or Williams, a 6-foot-1, 353-pound fifth-year senior. Williams returned from a knee injury to start eight games and appear in 10 games overall for the Pirates this season. He registered 34 tackles and 7.5 tackles for loss this season and earned first-team All-American Athletic Conference honors.
Lennon, a junior, started all 12 games this season at free safety and was third on the team with 65 total tackles.
The 8-4 Pirates will face the 6-5 Gators at noon on Jan. 3.
N.C. State WR Bo Hines transferringNick Bromberg at Dr. Saturday20 hrs ago
North Carolina State WR Bo Hines announced Saturday that he'd be transferring.
Thank you Wolf Pack nation. pic.twitter.com/MWqyNeMw3K
Hines, a freshman, was N.C. State's leading receiver in 2014. He had 45 catches for 616 yards and was set to be an integral part of the Wolfpack offense in 2015.
He had three catches for 79 yards in the St. Petersburg Bowl win over UCF on Friday night.
Per the Charlotte Observer, Hines is expected to transfer to Yale.
"I truly enjoyed being Bo's coach and wish him nothing but the best in his future endeavors," N.C. State coach Dave Doeren said in a statement.
Hines was a three-star recruitfrom Charlotte, N.C., out of Charlotte Christian High School.
Sophomore TE David Grinnage and sophomore WR Bra'Lon Cherry become the Wolfpack's leading returning receivers. Each had 27 catches in 2014 and Grinnage had 358 yards while Cherry had 354.
Miami RB Duke Johnson announces he's heading to NFL draftNick Bromberg at Dr. Saturday21 hrs ago
Miami running back Duke Johnson won't stick around for his senior season.
A day after the Hurricanes lost to South Carolina in the Independence Bowl, Johnson announced that he'd be heading to the NFL draft. "I will be going to the NFL next year," Johnson said via CaneSport.com. "I think at this stage in my life, I'm at the stage in the NFL where backs don't get too much value. I think it's best and get a jump while I can. It's what is best for me and my family."
He also said the decision was for his grandmother, a woman who has been an integral part of Johnson's life.
"At the end of the day everything I do is for her and my grandmother who has sacrificed so much," Johnson said. "This decision is made for them, too, just to help them out and put them in the best situation."
Texas Bowl: It's a Southwest Conference matchup of 6-6 teamsGraham Watson at Dr. Saturday21 hrs ago
Texas Bowl Arkansas (6-6) vs. Texas (6-6) Houston Dec 29, 2014
If you have to pit two 6-6 teams against each other, you might as well do it with a historical rivalry in mind.
Texas and Arkansas are two former Southwest Conference rivals that used to engage in some epic games, but the two teams haven't played since 2008. However, this game has the potential to get Arkansas on the right side of this rivalry after losing the last two in the series.
And Arkansas has to be feeling pretty confident after winning two of its final three — both wins against to 25 teams — become bowl eligible.
It's fair to say Arkansas was the best 6-6 team in the country and it certainly played the toughest schedule with eight of those opponents ranked in the Top 25. However, the Arkansas offense, especially its running game, always seemed to be step-for-step with its competition. That's due in part to Arkansas gigantic offensive line, which allowed the running game to average 220.3 yards per game, which ranked 28th in the country.
Russell Athletic Bowl: Trevor Knight's presence should boost OklahomaNick Bromberg at Dr. Saturday23 hrs ago
Russell Athletic Bowl Oklahoma (8-4) vs. Clemson (9-3) Orlando, Fla. Dec. 29, 2014
It's dejå vu all over again for Oklahoma QB Trevor Knight.
Last year, Knight became the darling of the 2013 bowl season with his performance against Alabama. As the Sooners upset the Crimson Tide in the Sugar Bowl, Knight was 32-44 passing for 348 yards, four touchdowns and a lone interception.
It was Knight's best performance of his young career and came as he was wrangling the starting quarterback job away from Blake Bell, who moved to tight end in 2014. Oh, and it also set up some unrealistic expectations for Knight's 2014 season.
And they were expectations that he unsurprisingly didn't fill. Before he suffered an incredibly frightening neck injury against Baylor, Knight was in the midst of a productive yet not spectacular campaign. While his stats didn't look horrible -- his one really bad game came against TCU -- there seemed to be frequent moments of longing from Oklahoma fans. Knight was playing well, but he could also play better.
Liberty Bowl: West Virginia and Texas A&M should throw the ball a lotNick Bromberg at Dr. Saturday23 hrs ago
AutoZone Liberty Bowl Texas A&M (7-5) vs. West Virginia (7-5) Memphis, Tenn. Dec. 29, 2014
Do you like offense? If you do, you are obligated to watch this game if you're off work or record it if you're going to be away from a television. If there was ever a bowl game this season that promises points, the Liberty Bowl is it.
Of course, that paragraph means we could very likely see a 14-13 finish, but we're betting against it. Each team has scored 20 or fewer points just twice this season. For Texas A&M, it was the embarrassing shutout at Alabama and a 23-17 loss to LSU in the last game of the regular season. West Virginia's two worst offensive efforts came at Texas and against Kansas State.
The Mountaineers enter at No. 9 in the country in passing yards. Texas A&M is No. 12. The respective defenses are basically the same, at least in the yardage category. Texas A&M is ranked No. 62 in passing defense, a half-yard better (225.5) than No. 63 West Virginia.
Jim Harbaugh reportedly heading to MichiganNick Bromberg at Dr. Saturday1 day ago
San Francisco 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh will reportedly be the next coach of the Michigan Wolverines.
According to CSN Bay Area, Harbaugh has agreed to be Michigan's coach.
Confirmed: Harbaugh to Michigan! Press Conference Tues in Ann Arbor
When asked about Michigan following the 49ers' game against Arizona on Sunday, Harbaugh didn't deny anything. The team announcedHarbaugh had mutually agreed to part ways with the franchise.
Harbaugh asked if he'll be the next coach at Michigan: "There will be announcements made."
Harbaugh's move to Michigan was first tweeted by John U. Bacon on Saturday night. Bacon, a professor at Michigan, is the author of "Fourth and Long," a book about college football.
I just got off the phone with more sources tonight. It's done. Jim Harbaugh is coming to Michigan - and his friends are flying in Monday.
How do I know this? From his friends who are flying in.
USC holds off Nebraska comeback, wins Holiday BowlSam Cooper at Dr. Saturday1 day ago
A Holiday Bowl game that saw over 1,000 yards of total offense came down to a clutch defensive play by USC safety Leon McQuay.
After trailing 45-27 late in the third quarter, Nebraska battled back and cut USC's lead to 45-42 and had the ball at the Trojans' 31-yard line with under three minutes to go. Instead of attempting a game-tying field goal, Nebraska dialed up a sweep play on 4th-and-3 to speedy wideout De'Mornay Pierson-El.
McQuay sniffed the play out, following Pierson-El as he motioned from right to left and received a pitch, and then delivered a big hit to force a turnover on downs and ultimately seal a 45-42 USC win.
Before McQuay's big play, there wasn't much defense on either side. The teams combined for 1,040 yards of offense (525 for Nebraska, 515 for USC) and 50 first downs.
It was a back-and-forth affair early on. USC freshman Adoree' Jackson returned a kickoff 98 yards for a score early in the first, but the Huskers led 17-10 after one via two Tommy Armstrong touchdown passes – one to Kenny Bell (7 catches, 71 yards) and one to Pierson-El (8 catches, 102 yards) – and a Drew Brown 34-yard field goal.

Dear Readers,
I like this show! Hoping it will not be another saas bahu saga!
It's too soon to make a judgement on a show just based on 4 episodes. You should at least give it a month or two before saying it fails to make an impression! It may very well do that but you definitely need to wait it out before coming to a conclusion...
The show is good, keerti needs to improve her pronunciations, her hindi sucks!
i tell u this stuff
i have watch IPKKND season 2 first espi i was thinking it is boring don't wanted to watch it next espi but i still watch it n i just love it..
and also u all r thinking y i said this in this stuff
becuse we cant do comment for a week n we should waite few month like as 2 month so see how it goes
n i love the first espi n to the next espi
n also i was thinking y thy dont put firday espi.. i wanted what will happen n how she become as a desh ki beti nandini
i agree people whos said this articles is not corrrect
thnks for letting people comment on it so thy can share thy comment
why are you in hurry to make judgement about the show dear SEEMA "KHOT"? Have you any problem with the entire team/PH of DKBN? Definetely you have some problem so that giving such comments. what the standard of Indian daily soap. almost every scence have OTT's ,vilangiri, kitchengiri, saas-bahu giri. I respect Sony Channel's way of represntation. Having different concept. Having a quality and don't believe in cheap melodrama. Its just a beginning of the show, characters are forming in shapes.The show will definetely catch the audiance and be in strong track. Keerti doing a fabulous performance as a aam ladki and hope will suit as a politician also. I like Rashmi sharma's concept to make a serial on political background. Nandini is a aam ladki and how she will manage herself in politics would be worthwatching.
Edited on:12 October 2013 at 12:40am
I will appreciate reshmi sharma for selecting the political background story,and what is happening in the India. at present ...scenario.
I like the concept of the story where woman can play very important role not only as housewives but also in public or political field.only there is something missing in the serial as I have watched four episodes till now.
what is lacking in the story i can able to make out after watching few more episodes
Any way Hats off to rashmi Sharma for selecting political background story for the serial.
Freaking awesome! I dnt damn care abt show i jst want to watch Keerti so m darn least bothered what they show :P
And few people's favs r not coming so they r disregarding ours
Well only thing I can say...its reshmi sharma show and her all show is about sas bahhhu crap,this is the first show she trying to do something different. I m not sure she really can manage it or not. No disrespect but that women can't make this kind of show, I don't think she really have that talent. Only thing she can make sas bahu crap like she did earlier sns,ssk,mkkpb,rkab etc.i think keerti doing good job. Lets see if reshmi sharma really can give us something different show.
Edited on:11 October 2013 at 10:56pm
oh great!!!! the show is hardly week old nd there comes the news of failing impression which i dont agree at all!!!!
give some tym as the story is jus starting to evolve around the characters and regarding accent keerti is a fab. actress and i am sure as tym goes on she will def. come out of the accent issue tooo...
I just saw some random clips and what i feel is this show is to relate to our lives. It has got the near similarity to what we citizens feel with the government...and gayatri devi portrayal is just perfect and her family too...the dynasty family ...we can relate that also in our country we see and read about the many political first families and such people with power and glamour ... also nandini ...i felt its the very me...even we also get frustrated and go mad at the endless obstacles that we face in our lives ...so what i feel is this show is something with substance ...moreover sony tv always gave some innovative ideas all the time and also they dont drag the show for centuries ...they all are simple sweet and short and realistic ...not like the other channels where we get to see over rated circus shows running for centuries with no stories and no logic ..just some cruel vamps who rule and get away from all clutches and the lead actor keeps on crying till the end
this show is fresh and with elections comming on 2014 .its just perfect

We're playing an early show at the Railway Club on August 10. RSVP here.
Tiger, Tiger, Burning Bright
apparently, as it turns out, the album is cleaved into two halves, in which it will come back, of its own accord, rather lovelessly, in the manner of Blake's Songs of Innocence and of Experience Showing the Two Contrary States of the Human Soul. It's a companion to literary highs. Or, will wreck your literary high. and here i thought we were just plumbing the usual depths, but no, alas
The next album is called ASHES. It contains songs about delusional episodes, Nietzschean chasms, and fake apocalpyses. But other than that usual fare there will be some nice surprises. It will be the most upbeat thing we've done to date.
Sorry it's been taking so long. We shall also come out from under our rocks of debt servitude, show our wintry faces, & play with you in the summer sun, once again.
Right now I am inspired by the peerless bravado of Tom Jones. I so want to perform like this:
Hello and thanks to all of you who've pre-ordered the vinyl edition of our latest LP Embers. We appreciate that you've been waiting for a little while, but we haven't forgotten you – there have just been some changes in the world of vinyl (e.g., it's not possible to press a record in Canada anymore, so we have to negotiate a deal with an international plant) that have delayed the production of this artefact.
& as you know, the whole album (like all of our albums and singles) is available for FREE on Last.fm or Reverbnation (as 128 kbps MP3s – see the links in the sidebar). That's not changing. If you're just fine with the free downloads, then we're just fine with that. Go ahead and take them. We're still trying to get enough money to get the vinyl pressed, however. Remember, the vinyl edition will only come to fruition if our fans help make it happen. We need to pre-sell 100 copies to make this work. To date, we've sold 5. No hype, all transparency here. 5 records.
So if you really want the vinyl and know other people who might want it too, refer them to this page, or the merch page on this blog. You will only ever be able to buy this album directly from us – not through iTunes, not through CDBaby, Amazon, or anything else like that. And it will be a limited edition release (only 300 copies will ever be pressed).
As part of our commitment to you we intend to keep you updated with how close we're getting to our goal of 100 records pre-ordered. Stay tuned to our Twitter presence (@asihe) to keep this on your radar!
And, as promised, if we don't make the 100 mark we will refund everyone's money and call it a day. But let's give this record one more gigantic push. OK?
-A Spectre Is Haunting Europe
Sorry to bear bad news, but our show in Abbotsford this Saturday has been canceled by the promoters. We hope to get out there soon!
In the meantime, we'll be adding more and more new features to this site, aggregating in media and your comments and input from all over the web. Stay tuned!
And also – we're heading into the studio again this month, as we've got a bunch of new material we need to record before Ciaran heads off to Japan.
Yep, we're @asihe if you didn't already know. Follow our breakfast cereal consumption and commentary there. Individual band members on twitter are also: @jeanh, @LumenSecond, and more to come…also check out the cute little widget to the right (below the Reverbnation widget) which contains all of our fucking tweets.
A Spectre Is Haunting Europe is back in the business of playing shows, it appears. So there are two chances in August to check us out live, as per:
Mon Aug 3 – Vancouver – The Cobalt (917 Main), w/Stiff Valentine, Vancouver Killing Spree
Sat Aug 8 – Abbotsford – Matsqui Community Hall (33676 St.Olaf Avenue), w/Lillix (ALL AGES SHOW)
See ya there! More to come!
For those interested in our latest album, please hold the phone while we go about remastering the ten tracks. They're pretty quiet as they are, and much of the density is not being brought to life with the raw mixes. We promise to make these tracks sound as good and as loud as possible.
And for those interested in keeping the unmastered tracks for posterity, download them while you still can. Within a week everything will be nudged, tweaked, and gain-boosted to "acceptable modern standards for popular music".
crap sound, false starts, (but the live streaming worked! straight out of the pocket!), fun times:

I believe that truth is usually best. When my granny was in the hospital, we were told that she was recovering and would be allowed to go home, so we spent the day before cleaning up her house and getting it ready for her. That night we got a call telling us to get to the hospital fast because she probably wouldn't make it through the night. Sure enough, at about 1 or 2 in the morning she died. That was rough, but it was worse when we found out that her organs had been failing one by one for about a week and no one had told us. We could have been preparing to say goodbye instead of preparing to welcome her home. Why on earth we were told she was recovering when she was in fact dying is just beyond me.

Do you want the good news or the bad news first?
It's the setup line to a well-worn genre of joke, but it's no laughing matter, according to Angela Legg, a Ph.D. student in psychology at the University of California, Riverside.
Legg's research—done with Kate Sweeney, also of UC Riverside, and published online in the Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin—put a scientific lens to the question.
The answer, Legg found, depends on whether you are the giver or receiver of the bad news, and if the information will be used to modify behavior.
If you are on the receiving end, Legg says, experiments showed that an overwhelming majority—more than 75 percent—wanted the bad news first. "If people know they are going to get bad news, they would rather get it over with," she says. Then, if there is good news to follow, "you end on a high note."
Conversely, news givers—between 65 and 70 percent—chose to give good news first, then the bad news. "When news givers go into a conversation, they are anxious. No one enjoys giving bad news. They don't understand that having to wait for bad news makes the recipient more anxious."
But good news first, then bad could be a useful strategy if the goal is to get someone to change a behavior—when, for example, Legg says, "you are giving feedback to a patient needing to lose weight, who has to take action. The recipient doesn't feel good about the news, but may do something about it."
The Sandwich Approach
Then there is what she calls the good news, bad news, good news sandwich—when the bad news comes between piece of good news on either side. Example: "Your cholesterol is down. By the way, your blood pressure is morbidly high. Your blood sugar levels are good."
That's fine if you want someone to feel good, she says. "But hiding the bad news in the sandwich is generally not a good strategy. It downplays the bad news, and the recipient gets confused."
The person who delivers a bad news sandwich is engaging in what Legg calls conversational acrobatics. "They believe they are making the conversation easier, but the message gets garbled."
There's even an acronym in psychological jargon for people who delay giving out bad news or avoid it altogether—MUM (mum about undesirable messages).
"The best news-giving strategies take into account that sometimes we want to make people feel good and sometimes we need them to act," she says.
Legg's advice to doctors is that when relaying a diagnosis or prognosis, it's better to give the bad news first, and then the positive information to help the patient accept it.
What If There's No Good News?
But how do physicians deliver bad news when there is no good news to soften it?
"Many physicians prefer not to have to give bad news until it's obvious," says Thomas J. Smith, director of palliative medicine at the Johns Hopkins Institutions in Baltimore. Palliative care is a relatively new field that emphasizes open and honest communication with seriously ill patients.
According to one study, "If we look at the charts of people with lung cancer, only 22 percent of the charts have any notation that the doctor and patient talked about the fact that the patient is going to die," he says. "Most of the time the conversation goes along the lines of 'it's incurable, but treatable.' Many times it doesn't get mentioned again." In reality, 90 percent of people say they want truthful and honest information.
The "bad news" conversation, Smith stresses, needs to be more than one conversation. "When you give a bad diagnosis, they don't hear anything [anyone says] for the next three weeks anyway. They are stunned. "
The situation is improving. "Forty years ago when I started, palliative care wasn't the norm," he says. Now, at Johns Hopkins, medical students practice breaking bad news to a trained actor "patient."
"Many [other] countries are changing, as well. Japan has shifted from no one being told to everyone being told" the truth, even if it's bad news.
And sometimes, even when the news is bad, good news can follow unexpectedly. Recently, Smith met with a survivor group at the National Institutes of Health, where a woman shared her story: "My doctor told me I had eight months to live. He did say, 'Some do better, some worse.' So I took that to heart and told the kids and prepared them, and my husband and I went and picked out our burial plots. I thought at the time it would all be grim, but it turned out to be really important planning.
"That was three years ago," she added.
Have you, a friend, or family member been on the receiving end of bad news? Tell us about your experience, positive or negative.
I believe that truth is usually best. When my granny was in the hospital, we were told that she was recovering and would be allowed to go home, so we spent the day before cleaning up her house and getting it ready for her.

We could have been preparing to say goodbye instead of preparing to welcome her home. Why on earth we were told she was recovering when she was in fact dying is just beyond me.
I was 14 year old. It was early morning 4.30-5 am and I was sleeping in my room and my aunt was sleeping at the other room.
Our door bell rang, which disturbed my sleep abruptly. I woke up my aunt and went to the door with her.
It was my neighbor. She had bought a message : "You have got to visit the hospital as soon as possible".
My dad was admitted in the hospital and he had gangrene developed in his leg. My mother was in hospital taking care of him.
When my neighbor bought that message, I was scared and thinking my father might be serious.
I was too young but old enough to understand that something really terrible has happened.
Somewhere from the corner of my heart was screaming and crying for losing something really valuable.
It took over an hour to reach the hospital. And all the way each and every second I was praying to God for my father.
But, it was too late for my prayer. My dad had passed away on the previous night itself!
The incomplete message gave me an ray of hope that my dad will be OK soon and come back home.
When the hard bitter truth hit me, I was shattered.
Am not sure whether the sudden burst of shocking news would have been better or the prolonged toggling sting was better.
End of the day I had only one truth left with, which is an loss of my father.....
We live for hopes. And truth struggles with bad news to fulfill hopes. Truth comes first.
My doctor moved our closing conversation to his office and closed the door. I knew it was serious. He said, " I want you to know we can walk across the street to the hospital right now and remove this ovary. I found a growth .... on the ovary. I need to order more tests but we can walk across the street right now...."
There was more. I had ovarian cancer. He told me the truth and I have always respected that. He was concerned I would panic. I didn't. I tried treatment first though surgery was always an option. I beat it with no real complications. That was 12 years ago. I kept the ovary, it was the only one I had. (The first was lost to an earlier problem) I'm going through mentalpause normally now because of this amazing physician.
I watched my life flash before my eyes. I said good bye to my family. I was convinced this would kill me but there was never a moment when I wished he had lied to spare my feelings. That man saved my life in the examining room but he saved my sanity when he gave me the honest truth.
I vote for truth - warts and all.
i want to know the truth, so that i could prepare my self for unforgettable ending
I would want/need to know the truth. It give you the ability to do what you need to do, to prepare yourself and loved ones and to (hopefully) live out your remaining days with peace and tranquility.
I want the truth!
I just had lung cancer surgery about 18 months ago. My oncologist was excellent at 'breaking the news' especially since I was not hospitalized for anything to do with cancer! Complicated story (as most are) but I was hospitalized for an auto immune disorder after battling with it for 12 years. Working, working - no choice - and worked myself to the point of collapse. I was hospitalized for severe costal chondritis (couldn't breathe) acute pain, very high blood pressure etc. My local hospital refused to admit me and my Uncle (a doctor) had an old friend of his (lung cancer specialist - what are the chances!) hospitalize me at his hospital. He did an unbelievable amount of tests - which would never have happened if I was not a family member of friend) and......... he found stage one lung cancer. He just 'told me' straight up and said he doubted if I was too surprised since I had smoked for over 30 years. Very true. He stated the 'facts' only about early detection and surgery and also the facts that there was no way of knowing at that point if it had metastasized I just had to wait and see. I found the 'just honest fact' approach very very helpful. Including the 'possible bad news' that he didn't have to give - he could have just focused on 'stage one great chances!' and left it at that but he didn't - and I am very grateful for that. To the gentleman whose mother passed so brutally - this is why honesty is necessary! Hope is one thing but false hope/denial helps nobody. This is another reason why euthanasia for people must become a conversation in this country.
Doctors and other medical staff should just be honest.
My mother died of breast cancer in 1999 which spread to her bones and organs. She underwent radiotherapy and drugs but got weaker and weaker until she faded away and died. However, the doctors kept saying "Don't give up hope", "Her hair will start to grow back in 7 or 8 months", "There are another couple of treatments we'll use after this if this doesn't work" etc. Then, once my mother had become so weak and wasted she couldn't even walk .....she died!
That was a complete shock! The doctors and nurses had always given the impression my mother would still be around in the months to come and kept telling us not to give up hope. But then they said "What did you expect? She had terminal cancer!" We've also met other people with similar experiences. We've all agreed how upset and angry we are with the doctors and how we'll never trust them.
If someone is dying of a terminal disease then everyone involved should be told the truth so they can prepare. No one can argue with the truth. To argue that some people can't cope with hearing the truth is ridiculous. It puts doctors in the position of deciding who they think can cope and who can't and must therefore be given the wrong impression. No one can be blamed for telling the truth. To do otherwise is not only unnecessary - it is particularly cruel and leaves many people angry and distressed!
@Andrew Booth So Sorry over the loss Andrew! I does agree that truth should be revealed. I from the above details resulted that doctors have faith in fighting for disease, that patient should not lose hope, emotionally and mentally to let the medicine work effectively. But even if they thinks it right, they should at least reveals the news to the family member and let them decide whether they should reveal or conceal further. Even some times telling the truth makes patient more brave that 'No this I won't let happen"
Anyway I favour the Truth!
@Andrew Booth IMHO, without telling the truth to the patient and the family, it is like robbing away their chance of fulfilling the last wishes of the patient. Since everyone is thinking that there is always a tomorrow, they will not cherish the last minute and doing things for the patient so that the patient can pass on peacefully.
@Andrew Booth If the doctors know for sure that it's terminal then I agree. However, hope has a way of increasing one's chances of surviving. I think it's worth implying that the chance of survival is a bit better than it is if the implication itself increases the chance.
Andrew, thank you for sharing your story. It is not an uncommon experience, I suspect. It would be good to hear from others about their experiences
both positive and negative.

Rita Ora & Rob Kardashian: Admitting Relationship?
Last updated:
Rita Ora and Rob Kardashian are ON it seems, after he posted a few pics of himself and Rita snuggling up - aww!
They've claimed that their relationship is not romantic over the past few months, with Rita admitting he's a "great friend", but the new pics show them as more than pals.
MTV reports that Rob posted a photo of them kissing, and the one above, calling the Brit singer "Boo" in the captions.
Now, though, Rob's removed the photos - uh oh, did he jump the gun?
Either way, we want to know the truth - don't leave us in the dark, Rita! BS
