Delonte West's cast removed
Delonte West's cast was removed on Monday. The gritty, left-handed guard will rehab for the next three weeks or so, at which time he can "start doing more."
That doesn't mean he'll return to the court in three weeks, though. Danny Ainge said mid-February is a more likely target. (Boston Herald)
"I think (the All-Star break) sounds about right," Ainge said. "He just got his cast off, so we have to see how it takes from here."
West, though, simply wants to savor the short-term rewards for now, without looking too far ahead.
"It feels stiff, but it's not painful," West said. "I got great news from the doctors (yesterday, when the cast came off). They said maybe three weeks of rehabilitation, and then I can start doing more. I started working out, conditioning, ballhandling.
"Fortunately I'm left-handed, so I'm able to get shots on my left hand. It's just a matter of time before I gain game strength in (the right) one."
Doc Rivers has lost some confidence in "Nate Robinson, point guard," and West's return should solidify a Celtics' bench that has been up and down. As it now stands, Glen Davis is the second unit's only consistent player — and with Kevin Garnett injured, Davis now starts. So it's safe to say the Celtics need Delonte West, but he should wait until he's fully healthy to return. No rush, because champions aren't made in January.
Cue Muhammad Ali: "Champions aren't made in gyms. Champions are made from something they have deep inside them – a desire, a dream, a vision. They have to have last-minute stamina, they have to be a little faster, they have to have the skill and the will. But the will must be stronger than the skill."
Thanks for the input, Muhammad. Now, please make sure West's rehab goes well.
One Response to "Delonte West's cast removed"
I'm not so happy about the prospect of him coming back. First I was thrilled when the Celtics signed him because he has great skills, plays well in pressure situations and he is great insurance if players go down–but he just can't be trusted as a person. There really isn't any acceptable excuse for his aggressive behavior toward his own players. The Celtics seem like a warm happy family and I don't see any room for someone that acts out like West.

Lil' Kim 'Looks Like Money' on New Single
Lil' Kim fans flooded Twitter to wish the 37-year-old rapper a happy birthday, and in return, she surprised them with a few announcements, including the title of her new single.
"Looks Like Money" is set to be the first offering from her first studio album in six years, she revealed during her birthday chat with "The Lil' Kim Fan Club Show." It was reportedly produced by Rockwilder ("Lady Marmalade").
If you were wondering why Kim's part on Monica's single "Anything (To Find You)" was so short, she explains that her verse was cut to make room for Rick Ross and that the full version will be heard soon. "I know everybody thought that my verse was just really, really short. In all actuality, I did a 16 in addition to the 8 bars that ya'll all hear," she said. "Monica and her people decided to add Rick Ross on the track."
When it came to her collaborator, she had nothing but positive things to say. "Monica is one of the realest bitches I've met in this game," she said before congratulating her on her marriage to Shannon Brown.
The Queen Bee also shared a photo from a new shoot she did with photographer Michael Antonio, in which she sports thick blonde braids. The full shoot will be released in the next few weeks.Tweet

That is beautiful, suddenly chess makes sense!
Looks like that sengoku thing to me.
My highest USCF rating was 2026 in the 80's
I now live in a rural Florida town, and only get to play a tournament per year, which I usually fly somewhere to get to.
On the veracity of my "story", hey we can both put $10,000 in an Escrow account, and we can check with the USCF, and if my rating was ever over USCF 2000 *I* get the money, and if it wasn't, you get the money...
Heck, YOU GUYS can even name the amount in escrow if you want..The more in, the better for me....
BTW, I would have to be some kind of stupid to lie about something that can easily be checked on the USCF ratings website, as many have already done.
The deadline is past for further applicant's. Thanks all, and I will let the Forum know what the results of myself and the testers were when we are done.
Great! Hope its a success!
Finally! A 'get rich quick' scheme for getting good at chess.When you release your product, will I be beating Carlsen (let's make sure he doesn't get access to it.)? Will the arbiters mind me using a calculator, or will I do the sums in my head?
Any calculations can be done in your head.
I am hoping to advance players to the 2400 USCF / 2300 FIDE level.
Becoming a GM may be another story entirely, and I am afraid I would have to bet on Carlsen, in a match between him and my ideas...
The contestants are selected. they will be traveling to Iceland, and a Rocky type workout awaits them.
Why do I have the feeling that if I sign up for this thing I'm eventually gonna be looking at one of these?...
Because you've been talking to -kenpo- too much
Will it be available (only) on TV, for 3 Easy Payments of $19.95?
Best of Luck. Maybe we'll eventually see you on 60 Minutes.
If you send me $19.95, I'll send you a report telling you how
to get people to send you $19.95.
where to, beardog?
Zborg you forget one part of the $19.95 Easy Payments - one additional easy payment of your soul....muahhahahahaha
No, actually that's led me to seeing these things everywhere:
Hello Gamebrain,
any updates on this? or is there anyone who has learnt this system?
Thanks in advance
It always feel a bit strange when someone creates a new account and the only thing they do is to comment on an old thread. Anyway, I doubt Gamebrain will respond considering he was last online 7 months ago.
sorry about the abruptness, just that i am curious about the meta chess theory. It will be good if Gamebrain posts again...
Were you curious about how the scam worked? There was probably a non-free element to the program that he got people to pay. Either that or he just sold their information to an ad company looking for people interested in chess improvement programs.

SAN DIEGO, January 28, 2012 ―The pharmacist seemed sympathetic to my plight. Sadly, he explained that Primatene Mist (an over the counter inhaler for asthmatics) had been taken off the market.
I was not surprised.
Certainly many doctors have warned people of Primatene's potential side effects. Oddly enough, medical concerns had nothing to do with its removal. Instead the pharmacist started talking about Global Warming. Now, frankly, that politically charged phrase had never been a favorite subject of mine anyway.
But today, the word cries out for boo's and hisses.
In denial, I jumped on the internet, hoping against hope that the pharmacist had somehow been mistaken. Instead I found an AP article from late 2011.
"Asthma patients who rely on over-the-counter inhalers will need to switch to prescription-only alternatives as part of the federal government's latest attempt to protect the Earth's atmosphere."
"The Food and Drug Administration said Thursday patients who use the epinephrine inhalers to treat mild asthma will need to switch by Dec. 31 to other types that do not contain chlorofluorocarbons, an aerosol substance once found in a variety of spray products."
"The action is part of an agreement signed by the U.S. and other nations to stop using substances that deplete the ozone layer, a region in the atmosphere that helps block harmful ultraviolet rays from the Sun."
"But the switch to a greener inhaler will cost consumers more. Epinephrine inhalers are available via online retailers for around $20, whereas the alternatives, which contain the drug albuterol, range from $30 to $60" (Associated Press, 9-22-11).
Ironically, many of the same people concerned about Global Warming also insist on our need to have "affordable health care for all." In that vein, one wonders how many individuals have been breathing more easily without the time and expense of doctor visits due to a convenient over the counter alternative.
How many have avoided emergency room visits where patients pitch a tent in the lobby and light a Coleman lantern before finally getting treated? How many lives have been saved?
Oh well! No matter! After all, why be concerned about a human life or two when we have an entire planet to save?
What's next? We can probably expect more lunacy on the horizon (warmed as the horizon may be.) Will the day come when all hairspray is banned? How about deodorant? Some types are banned already. If they ban even more, levels of ozone threatening B.O. will also have to be monitored.
If only we'd ban Al Gore's jet on which he travels the world to give Global Warming lectures.
Certainly that's one massive carbon footprint he's leaving, but not nearly as large as the one which emanates from the hot air of his loud speeches. On the other hand, movement of Gore's non-stop vocal chords may be an alternative source of energy that could power the entire state of Tennessee.
It's doubtful that good ol' Al ever thought proclamations such as "the debate is over" would eventually morph into the kind of situation that jeopardizes lives. But then, lack of genuine thought might be the real problem here in the first place.
Scientists continue to debate this subject while our government pushes ahead with laws in the fine tradition of Chicken Little, whose soothsaying about a falling sky accomplished little more than the bones of his friends being spit out by Foxy Loxy.

Legislation Update
Business Group Supports Specter's Asbestos Draft; Insurers and Some Unions Demand Changes
Large businesses facing asbestos lawsuits said yesterday they favor the latest draft of asbestos legislation crafted by Senate Judiciary Chairman Arlen Specter (R-Pa.). "We believe it brings us closer to a long-overdue resolution," the Asbestos Study Group wrote in a letter to Specter. Specter's draft has the support of Judiciary ranking member Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.). It also has the support of the National Association of Manufacturers, several veterans' groups and the United Auto Workers.
But the AFL-CIO opposes the draft, saying it does not fairly compensate asbestos victims. An analysis of the bill by the Environmental Working Group (EWG) says the proposed $140 billion trust fund used to compensate asbestos victims is inadequate. In a study released today, EWG faulted the bill's provisions on pending asbestos cases, saying "many hundreds" of those with a fatal asbestos-caused cancer would die waiting for compensation.
Separately, Reuters reported today that U.S. insurers said they will not be able to support a $140 billion asbestos compensation fund without substantial modifications, according to a letter released today. The letter said this was a "unified insurance industry position" and was signed by the American Insurance Association, the National Association of Mutual Insurance Companies and the Reinsurance Association of America.
President Expected to Sign Bankruptcy Bill This Week
President Bush issued the following statement commending Congress for passing the bankruptcy bill: "I commend the House for acting in bipartisan fashion to curb abuses of the bankruptcy system. These common-sense reforms will make the system stronger and better so that more Americans -- especially lower-income Americans -- have greater access to credit. I look forward to signing the bill into law." The president's action could come tomorrow.
House Committee to Consider Predatory Lending Bill
The House Financial Services Committee might begin hearings next month on a bipartisan bill to curb predatory lending in the subprime mortgage market, its chief sponsor said today, CongressDaily reported. "I really expect the bill to have a chance to move through the [legislative] process," Financial Services Housing Subcommittee Chairman Bob Ney (R-Ohio) said during a Mortgage Bankers Association conference. But Ney said the lawmakers' "door is open" to mortgage lenders and other stakeholders seeking to modify provisions. Ney's bill would create uniform national standards that would pre-empt state predatory lending laws.
Rainbow/PUSH Coalition President Jesse Jackson and other critics of the Ney bill are supporting a competing measure offered by Reps. Brad Miller (D-N.C.) and Melvin Watt (D-N.C.) and House Financial Services ranking member Barney Frank
(D-Mass.). That bill would create a national standard modeled on North Carolina's anti-predatory lending statute, but it would allow states to enact stronger predatory lending laws.

10 Best Cars For Football Tailgating
1. 2012 Honda Odyssey
The Sienna and Odyssey have been slugging it out for families' affections for years, but the key difference for tailgaters is the Odyssey's slight space advantage. The Odyssey can carry up to eight fans with enough room behind them for a small grill. More importantly, it can carry five fans, collapse the third row and have 93.1 cubic feet for more storage. Those same fans get all the same perks, too, as the Honda's optional 16.2-inch split screen entertainment system still offers them something to stare at before kickoff.

I've had the exact same problem with this haircoloring kit... My hair is also two-toned right now and it looks awful. I found that even though I covered all of my hair it still came out as if it didn't dye certain spots.... I wouldn't buy this product again, it was terrible.
I hate this feria hair color, it ruined my hair so bad, I tried warm black, the color at the box looked gorgeous black super shiny but when I tried, the hair on my head turned brown[I naturally have dark brown so It kinda turned brown] and the rest of the hair on my shoulder were black which are no more black as the color has faded and the brown is still there on my head, I look so weird having two toned here, I dont know if I have done something wrong or this product is a complete disaster.
I've been using Feria (Pure Diamond #100) since it first came out and I love love love it! I have saved thousands of dollars coloring my own hair, and if I am really diligent about using color-protecting shampoo, the color stays fresh and light. I color my naturally mousy brown hair every 4-7 weeks. It takes about 5 minutes to apply, and then I just do some cleaning up or tidying up for the 25 minutes it has to stay in. Perfect results, every time, and I've been asked many times where I go to get such great color. People usually can't believe I do it myself. Great product!! Oh, and the conditioner that comes in the box is wonderful!

I've used the reds from feria. The red colour was gorgeous (I used Pure scarlett) But other than that i'm not entirely impressed to be honest. I mean all these brands talk about how they DON'T fade and how it stays the same for weeks on end. It's a load of rubbish. I limited to washing my hair once a week (disgusting i know) just so i could keep the colour longer. turns out it faded to a dingy coppery brown after just 3 washes! my roots stayed nice and red but as for the rest of my hair it was just a horrible copper colour with no red at all. I wouldn't recommend or use this product again, I'm just thinking of giving up with bright colours and going back to my natural colour! all hair dyes are the same in the end.
and as for the "pure scarlet" shade it turned out very dark and only looked red under light.

Feria is my favorite boxed hair dye, though their shades aren't as edgy as they were a few years ago. I like the creamy consistency of the solution itself as well as the essential oil packet. The conditioner that comes with Feria is AMAZING. I use professional dye now that I purchase at Sally's, but if I need something quick I'll use Feria.
Feria uses metallic deposit color in their reds which PERMANENTLY bond to your hair. I've been using a feria red for a year now and the color always looks great for a couple weeks, but after that not so much. Anyway, I wanted to go blonde this summer so I did a little research.
Apparently, these metallic dyes that feria uses are the spawn of Satan in the haircare world. Going lighter is impossible after you use such dye. Any sort of lightener or bleach you put over a metallic dye will cause a chemical reaction, causing your hair to MELT OFF. No joke ladies the only way to get this shit off is to cut it off. DO NOT USE. Professionals will all laugh you out the door when you come around saying you want it out.
I used Feria in a myriad of shades. Copper Shimmer 74 used to be my favorite, but since I went back to my natural color I realize they have expensive product for little payoff... I used T53 twice in a row (medium ash brown) and the color faded in less than 2 weeks between my use of clarifying shampoo and regular shampoo (no more than twice a week overall). I switched to Garnier Nutrisse #51 (Medium Ash brown) and the color has held much longer so far.
Used Feria's Havana Brown (medium natural brown) on my light brown hair, hoping to darken it a bit and cover up some brassiness. The color came out much darker than the results on the box, which my hair always, always seems to do - one of these days I'll learn to choose a shade lighter than what I want. I'll never buy Feria again, though. My hair feels extremely dry and damaged, and has none of the "shimmering" effect they promise - it actually looks really flat ad dull.
I got the midnight ruby color. Application was easy, but yes it smells just like any other hair dye. The color is fantastic, it came out just like the box. It is a little drying but the way to fix this is to use the conditioner that comes with the color. What I did was wash my hair 3 days after color, used a generous amount of the conditioner, and then wrapped my hair up and left it for 3-4 hours. My hair was back to its beautiful, silky smoothness after this. I will buy this color again and will just baby my hair. The little bit of dryness was worth it for the perfect color. It would get a 5 if they could fix the drying part.
UPDATE: Well, it's been four weeks and my roots have lightened a bit so it's time for more color. My hair isn't as ravaged as I initially thought, so I bumpbed this up from 2 - 3 lippies. It's on sale at CVS this week, so I might just repurchase a color in the Black family...
ORIGINAL REVIEW: Purchased Midnight Collection - Violet Soft Black (M32) which claims to be warmer. I fail to see how a Violet color can be warm and wanted to see how the purple tones would go with my cool complexion. My starting color was very dark brown with some lighter spots here and there due to incomplete coverage from my last dye job. Got two boxes (BOGO 50% off) to get full coverage for my just-below-shoulders length hair.
Application was easy. The gloves were better than those cut-out plastic ones some cheaper kits have, but they were all stretched out around the wrists. Kit comes with a little "Shimmer serum" packet to be added to the developer/color mix before applying. Gimmicky.
I could tell this was wrecking my hair as I applied it, it started to get tangly and mushy kind of. I used about half of the second box to get complete squish coverage (the first box did all my roots and about a quarter of my length, the second box was def necessary)
I set my timer for 30 mins and the color that was around my hairline/part was bright, bright red. I was nervous the color WOULD be super warm and look odd on me (like wanting Violet hair was ever gonna be natural anyways)
Rinsed for a good long time in the tub and still the water never ran clear (was pinkish). My hair felt like straw and was quite tangled. The conditioner was pasty and did not absorb well, I used almost all of the long tube to get coverage, and ended up slathering Dove on anyways, because it was doing NOTHING to detangle.
I was really concerned I'd fried my hair, so as soon as I got out of the tub, I put a a ton of Wen Deep Conditioning treatment all over my head, put it in a loose braid, wrapped it in plastic wrap and a towel and went to sleep with my fingers crossed.
Rinsed the conditioner this morning, my hair felt *better* but not good... i followed with Suave conditioner and then hopped out... water never ran clean - still pink. My hair stained my towel pink, too. So much pink! No stains on my skin, thank goodness.
My hair feels rough, and I can't run my fingers through it, like I habitually do. As it has air dryed, I see that the color result is very close to what the box depicted. However, it's my guess that, just given the fact that pink sontinued to run from my hair after shower #2, this color is going to fade quickly. I like my result, colorwise, but it was not worth the ravaging this dye gave my hair.
The box promises Shimmering Colour with 3X the Highlights. My hair is not shiny, its frizzy (as a result, not a normal state for my hair), so I can't tell if it's multi-tonal or not...I'm scared to try and straighten it, lest I fry it into mush... so I'll just continue babying it/giving conditioning treatments for the time being...
The poor quality conditioner in this kit is reason enough for me not to repurchase - the conditioner in at home hair color kits is usually the icing on the cake, making hair silky and smooth and oh so manageable. I found this one to be completely worthless. Adding in that the color seemed to dry out/straw spin my hair more than others usually do and this is a dud. Which is a shame because I have not seen another "Violet Black" out there... maybe it's time to try henna....

(CNN) -- Charity: water will receive a $5 million grant from Google's Global Impact Awards to provide clean and sustainable water supplies to the world's most far-flung and impoverished regions.
The non-profit group that builds water wells for communities in the developing world is hoping to install 4,000 low-cost remote sensors.
The sensors will transmit real-time data to the charity and its donors on the condition and flow of water at particular wells.
Charity: water founder Scott Harrison announced the new plan today at the 2012 LeWeb conference in Paris.
Read more: 'Father of the internet': Fight to stay free
"We realize 4,000 [sensors] is an aggressive target to implement by the end of 2015, but we've always set aggressive goals," Harrison told CNN. "We are first going to target Ethiopia, Nepal and a few other African and Asian countries that are undecided at this time."
The entire initiative will be funded through Google's Global Impact Awards, a scheme designed by the Silicon Valley tech giant to support pioneering technologies.

Harrison said the charity is planning to test different technologies for each country depending on the type of well installed there.
"For example, our commitment in Ethiopia has consisted mainly of hand-dug wells, and in Nepal, we fund large-scale spring systems. Two completely different sensors, partners, and methodologies," he explained.
Knowing the location of the well isn't enough anymore -- the charity also wants to collect information to establish if the wells are working and if they need to be fixed.
A large part of the pilot program would also involve continuing its work in training local mechanics to maintain the water supply, which Charity: water says will spur job creation.
Harrison added: "We want to do the best job of fully implementing the technology as well as building up response teams (mechanics) to ensure the sustainability of the projects and continue serving our beneficiaries with full transparency."
The aid group -- founded in 2006 -- began its work in Uganda, installing wells in refugee camps. Since then it has funded over 6,700 projects in 20 countries.

The bed is beautiful & looks like a comfy couch but the picture is deceiving because there is NO WAY a lab will fit comfortably on this dog bed. We have a large lab & although the dimensions of the bed are correct, take into account that this is for the outside of the bed & the inside is much smaller. Overall, looks great but a large dog will not fit into the bed.
I ordered this for my two small dogs, one is 11 pounds and one is 7 pounds. They prefer something to lay against, so the 'bumpers' oon three sides were perfect. Scoop & Yogi prefer to sleep together, so I couldn't have been happier when they both jumped right into the bed when it arrived....plently of room for another dog...hmmmmm...LOL! Thanks overstock, great present for my furry children!
This dog bed is pretty nice, I wish that their was more filling in it, once our dog gets on it the bottom portion seems to compress almost to the floor. The color is accurate and the quality of the cover is nice. The "sheep" like part - the white area is really soft. It also seems a bit bigger than the dimensions because of the raised sides which actually splay outward when the dog is on the bed.
Very soft, my dog loves the side cushions for his head.
I have a pitbull terrier and she's gone through several beds in the last 18 months. Based on the price, I expected this dog bed to be more than it is. Many other customers have already commented on the minimal filling and side wrap that flattens unless supported... I agree to these complaints. However, I went ahead and added an old pillow into the base of the bed and it made a dramatic difference. Stella can now use the bed and not have it smush to the ground. As for the problem with the side bars, I had to position the dog bed in a corner and "MacGuyver" my night stand to serve as the third "wall" to reinforce it from flattening. To level set, it's a okay buy but your dog will not be able to lay in the middle of the room as the dog pictured... not sure how they propped up the sidewall during the photoshoot.
I was really impressed. The material is very good and it is well stuffed. My 2 boston terriers fit on it without a problem. At least they stay off my sofa now. After about 1 week, the arms started to lean outwards some, but it does not seem to bother my dogs. Very happy with this purchase
Our dog just loves her new bed. It's just the right size, appears to well cushioned for her hips. At times she has to kick the cat off so she can lay on it.
I have a 125 lb American Bulldog. Since he first stepped on this bed, he has loved it! So comfy! We bought one for the living room and one for the bedroom. He's in heaven.
I have two of the large flat beds from Overstock.com, but I wanted something for my aging dogs that suffer from arthritis, etc. when the weather is cooler. My four dogs range from 50 pounds to almost 100, and This is a big hit with all of them at various times during the day and night. They also seem to like the reassurance of pressing against something soft and warm when I have to leave the house for a bit. Good construction and value.
Deep and squishy with raised but soft sides to lean on. My dog loves this bed! He spends lots of time in it even though all of the furniture in the house is available to him.

Spring Has Sprung
Italy, "Italian Traditions"
Italian popular culture is rich in traditions rooted in venerable rites and customs, handed down from generation to generation, expressing an oral and material culture that the celebrations keep alive.
Tied to ancestral rites of passage from Winter to Spring, the Carnival of Venice provides an elegant, masterfully constructed stage for the carnival ritual of switching roles, with the poor, under the cover of a mask, having the chance to belittle the rich at least once a year, in what formerly served as a mechanism of social control and is now played out symbolically as a game, amidst the narrow streets and mysterious settings of this most charming of cities.
History and legend combine in the equally venerable Carnival of Ivrea (in the Piedmont Region), where the freeing of the city from the tyrant who oppressed it during the Middle Ages is re-enacted. Especially enthralling and entertaining is the Battle of the Oranges, the highpoint of the celebration, which still symbolises the city's spirit of self-determination.
Proud tradition is featured at the Palio di Siena (in Tuscany), a horserace in which the city's different quarters compete under rules that have held since 1644. The first horse to complete three laps of the central square wins, to the immeasurable joy and ovations of its supporters.
Known as the most pagan of Christia rites, the Procession of the Snakes is held every year in the town of Cocullo (Abruzzo) on the first Thursday in May, when the statue of the patron saint, San Domenico, is paraded along the streets of the town, covered with live snakes whose movements are seen as earthly signs of divine messages. When the snakes wind themselves around the Saint's head, the sign is a good one and met with applause, but if they twist around his body, then dire predictions are heard among the crowd.
Elements of charm, often suspended between the sacred and the profane, can also be found in the solemn Easter processions in Sicily, where the religious event serves as a pretext for a more ancestral need for social intercourse. It is only during a feast, write Leonardo Sciascia, that the Sicilian stops being a solitary man and becomes a member of a circle, a class, a city or town.
Immerses in an endless, touching silence, the re-enactments of the Mysteries of Santa Cristina of Bolsena (Lazio) are dedicated to the young martyr, who was tormented until she die for having chosen to practice Christianity.
A reminiscence of a medieval religious celebration containing no lack of pagan elements, the Candle Fest of Gubbio (Umbria) is an event that draws much participation from local communities, offering them a chance to express their strong sense of belonging. When the three large wooden structures holding the candles, with statues of the Saints Ubaldo, Giorgio and Antonio on top, are carried at a run, for four kilometres, by the Ceraioli – who bring considerable skill, dedication and training to the task – the onlookers take part in the thrill as well.

Jan Fuerstenberg
EAU CLAIRE — A retired elementary school teacher, who is a University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire graduate, and her husband have established two scholarships with the UW-Eau Claire Foundation to benefit students in the College of Education and Human Sciences at UW-Eau Claire.
The gift from Jan and Roy Fuerstenberg will support two $1,000 scholarships to be awarded to promising teacher education majors at UW-Eau Claire. One of the Jan Fuerstenberg Education Scholarships will be designated for an elementary education major and the other for a secondary education major.
Jan, who received her master's degree in elementary education from UW-Eau Claire in 1994, said she hopes the scholarships will help the next generation of teachers.
"I'm a firm believer in education and want to give this opportunity to someone so they can experience the joy of working with children," Jan said. "I established the one scholarship because of my love of elementary teaching and the other in recognition that some have a calling to work with older children and should have that opportunity, too."
Jan, who received her bachelor's degree from Winona State University in 1968, taught for 36 years and served as a first-grade teacher for most of her career. She taught in Independent School District 197 in West St. Paul, Minn., for 11 years; at Cleghorn Elementary School in Eau Claire for 20 years; and at Putnam Heights Elementary School in Eau Claire for five years.

text: 5 Apollo 13 - The World Watches On HelplesslyMovieZone | 19/11/2010 | See all MovieZone's reviews (88)Top 10 Reviewer Top 10 DVD Reviewer This is the true story of the fated Apollo 13 Mission where Houston control centre has to bring back to Earth the crippled spacecraft whilst the world watches on helplessly. A fire in the space module some 200,000 miles from Earth and unbelievable tension is mounting. The actual extent of the fire damage is unknown. Both the crew and Nasa ground control work fiendishly together to bring a solution to the depleted oxygen levels, which is inadequate to support all three crewmembers during the long trek back. With one complication after another arising the tension builds dramatically and affects Astronauts, their families, engineers and scientists back at ground control. The amazing cast of Tom Hanks (Jim Lovell), Jack Swigert (Kevin Bacon), and Fred Haise (Bill Paxton), Ed Clarke (Gene Cranz) Gary Sinise based at Nasa ground control. What everyone accepted as a "routine flight" with Apollo 13 turned out to be, nothing further from the truth . . . . . .Directed by Ron Howard and winner of two Academy Awards and depicted in this Blu Ray disc. This true story goes a long way in outlining how modern day cinematography can build and uphold riveting tension from start to finish.Both the audio and visual aspects on Blu Ray are truly outstanding and further highlights how this can be achieved on a film more than 15 years old.

Easier, cheaper surround sound
Updated On: Dec 05 2012 07:00:00 AM EST
Watching movies in your living room with surround sound is great, but getting set up can set you back big bucks. Home-theater-in-a-box systems can save you money and hassle. The box has all the components you need: a center channel speaker, two speakers for the front of the room, another set for the back of the room, and a subwoofer to enhance the bass.
Many systems also come with a Blu-ray player. The big advantage is that all the components come together in one box—everything connects easily.
In Consumer Reports' audio lab, testers checked out dozens of those systems, costing $250 to almost $2,000. Some of the best systems had audio quality that approached that of separate components.
An $800 system, the Samsung HT-E6730W, is among them. It delivers terrific sound, includes a Blu-ray player, and has other nice features such as an iPod dock, so you can listen to your iTunes library as well.
If you don't need a Blu-ray player, you can get a surround-sound system for half the price. Consumer Reports recommends the Yamaha YHT 497, which costs about $400. It delivers very good sound and also has an iPod dock.

Lactose Intolerance versus Milk Allergy, bis
|from Culture Magazine 2013
An article on the Culture Magazine website - Cheeseographic: Lactose Intolerance on October 15, 2013, by Jessie Hazard is very too the point about this ongoing issue. Lactose to lactase, aged cheeses versus fresh, cow's milk versus goat and sheep, allergy vs intolerance, yep, it's all there in graphic display!
Want more information? You can check out other articles on The Kitchen Blog - What is Lactose Intolerance and also Lactose and Cheese: Are You Really Lacotse Intolerant by Nora Singley who was a Cheesemonger and the Director of the Cheese Course at Murray's Cheese Shop in New York City and a chef on The Martha Stewart Show. All very interesting in terms of what you need to know about the two competing enemies of cheese lovers.
Also here is an interesting bit from Wikipedia on the subject :
Dairy products - Lactose is a water-soluble substance. After the curdling process, lactose is found in the water-based portion (along with whey and casein), but not in the fat-based portion. Dairy products that are "reduced-fat" or "fat-free" generally have slightly higher lactose content. Low-fat dairy foods also often have various dairy derivatives, such as milk solids, added, increasing the lactose content.
Cheese - Fermentation and higher fat content contribute to lesser amounts of lactose. Traditionally made Emmental or Cheddar might contain 10% of the lactose found in whole milk. In addition, the aging methods of traditional cheeses (sometimes over two years) reduce their lactose content to practically nothing. Commercial cheeses, however, are often manufactured by processes that do not have the same lactose-reducing properties.

Les Fromagers de Tradition @ la Fromagerie de la Houssaye
What makes a great cheese? Contented animals, good raw milk, traditional methods of production, know how, but most important - passion!
Serge le Chevallier at Les Fromagers de Tradition, la Fromagerie de la Houssaye makes some of the most amazing cheeses from Normandy you will ever encounter. Livarot and Pont l'Eveque are the specialities of the house. All made with raw milk from their herds in the lieu-dit called la Houssaye, located in the Pays d'Auge, these are award winning cheeses.
The Livarot won the Silver medal and the Pont l'Eveque won the Gold medal at the 2013 Salon d'Agriculture in Paris. We had the privelege of meeting Monsieur le Chevallier at the Fromagerie where he was kind enough to give us a tour of his facility and explain their fabrication techniques and then let us taste his cheeses in situe.
A natural presenter, le Chevallier regaled us with the techniques of this artisanal process he and his 17 employees use for cheese making. It was truly fascinating to learn that a Livarot, round in form, and a Pont l'Eveque, square in shape, start out exactly the same and do not start to become their respective cheeses until around the salage (salting stage).
While Livarot, otherwise known as le Colonel, is big and meaty, a very masculin cheese; Pont l'Eveque is soft and milky, like milk fresh from the cow and could be described as feminine. We tasted these cheeses with a beautiful, crisp white wine, but some say a dry cidre brut would work equally well.
With their cousin, Camembert, these cheeses make up the Normand big three and typify all that is good about Normandy. For us a Domaines & Terroirs, we were truly honoured to be able to sample the very best of these cheeses with a most talented cheese maker.

I'm back from our little New Year's getaway. As you may have already read, Britanny and I got engaged on New Year's Eve. It was our five-year anniversary, and we were up in Vermont for a nice relaxing weekend of fireplaces and sleigh rides amidst all the snow. We're both very excited and we appreciate all of the congratulatory tweets and emails we've been receiving. Thanks everyone!
Now that the holidays are over, it's time to start preparing for the next holiday. Winter-een-mas is right around the corner, and I've gone ahead and opened the WEMas forums so that people can share plans for the holiday, and organize get-togethers, both in real and virtual spaces. We've also got a really cool item that will be available this season, and I should hopefully be able to unveil that later this week or early next week.
And speaking of really cool items, our Starbuck's Fresh Roasted Cylon coffee cup is now available in a travel variety!

What are the unique characteristics of fish?
1 Answer | Add Yours
I believe the question relates to the group of animals within the animal kingdom which is labeled as fish.
Fish are back boned animals that live in water. The various kinds of fish differ so much in their shape, colour, and size that they do not seem to have much in common to be classified in a common group of animals.
However, all fish have two main features in common. First hey have a backbone, and so they are vertebrates. Second, they breathe mainly by means of gills. Nearly all fish being cold-blooded animals, cannot regulate their body temperature, which changes with the temperature of their surroundings. Also, almost all fish have fins, which are used for swimming.
Not all animals living in water are classified as fish. They differ from fish in at least one of these ways. For example, Dolphins, look like fish and have a backbone and fins, but they are breathe with lungs rather than gills, and they are warm-blooded. Some water animals such as jellyfish and starfish are called fish, but they do not have a backbone and so are not fish.

Fred Gannon Rocky Bayou State Park for Old Fashioned Fun
Since 1966, Rocky Bayou State Park has welcomed visitors for daytime fun and overnight camping on the north shore of Choctawhatchee Bay. Within its 357 acres you'll find old-growth long leaf pine trees, rare plants and animals, three hiking trails, and plenty of picnic spots to set up your base camp for a day full of adventures.
The park is named for Colonel Fred Gannon, Director of Civil Engineering at Eglin Air Force Base, who was instrumental in converting it to a public recreational facility. In the late 1950s, Gannon proposed designs for the new park and initial construction began under his direction. Shortly after completion of the road and trail work, the lands were leased from the U.S. Forest Service and became part of the Florida State Park system. In 2005, the state assumed ownership of the property through a State-Federal land exchange.
Here's a quick visual overview of Rocky Bayou State Park.
Water sports are what you're really after here and there are plenty of them. A double boat ramp with twin docks lets boaters launch easily and there is plenty of trailer parking. The park's location makes it easy to get to Choctawhatchee Bay and into the gulf in no time. Overnight docking is not permitted, so boats must be out of the water by sunset. Ramp fees are $5.00.
There are three hiking trails in the park, one accessible from the picnic area and two from the campgrounds. The Red Cedar Trail is an easy loop through a forest of flowering dogwood, yaupon holly, Choctawhatchee sand pine, and southern red cedar. The Sand Pine Trail is a loop that follows the Eastern Shore of Puddin Head Stream, which is a rare habitat unique to this area. Here you'll see several species of aquatic plants, including the rare pitcher plant and Florida Anise. The third trail is the Rocky Bayou Trail which borders the picturesque shoreline of the bayou.
Camping reservations may be made up to 11 months in advance through ReserveAmerica. Call (800) 326-3521 (8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m.) or TDD (888) 433-0287.
Campers may also use the day-use facilities. There are picnic tables and pavilions with barbecue grills, a public shower, a children's playground, and a fitness trail with various workout stations that are much better than the gym because they come with a bayou view.
With beautiful sunsets over the bayou, Rocky Bayou State Park is popular as a wedding venue. The pavilions are available to rent after sunset year round and daytime rentals are available September through May. For more information call Carolyn, the Events Coordinator, at (850) 269-1062. She is in the office on Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays from 10:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m.

Introduction to the Pricing of Financial Options
Prof. Richard Stockbridge
University of Wisoconsin-Milwaukee
Friday, February 26, 2010, 2:00 PM, EMS E495A
An option is a contract which gives the buyer the right to "exercise his option" and receive a certain payoff at time T if the value is in her/his favor, but the buyer does not have to exercise the option if it is against her/him. A typical option is a European call option which gives the option holder the right to buy 100 shares of stock XYZ for $50 per share in three months. If the actual share price is more than this, the option holder will invoke the contract to pay $50 per share and immediately sell the shares at the market price, making a profit. If the share price is below $50, the option holder will prefer not to buy the shares for the greater amount and will let the option expire.
The question of interest is "How much should the buyer pay for this contract?"
A key idea underlying the option pricing is the "no arbitrage principle" which prohibits a risk-free profit from being made. The essential idea is that a portfolio consisting of some number of shares of the stock and another number of units of a bond is formed that will be worth exactly the value of the option at its expiration time. Under the no arbitrage principle, the amount needed to form the portfolio and the price of the option must be the same.
Option pricing will be examined for two simple stochastic models that illustrate fundamental concepts in mathematical finance. The simplest model for the evolution of the stock price is the binomial model, for which closed formulas for any option price can be given. Further analysis indicates a key result in option pricing. A minor modification to the stock price process using a trinomial model leads to some dramatic differences and open questions. This talk will be accessible to undergraduates.
Refreshments will be served at 1:30pm in EMS E495BAll Colloquia and Seminars

Tu Michael was a quiet, shy kid who kept to himself. Then, upon discovering the music and dancing of Michael Jackson, he broke free of his inhibitions and is now busting moves as an internet sensation.
— For one young Vietnamese boy, the answers to these and many of life's other big questions were found at the most unique source: the unmistakable dance moves of none other than The King of Pop, Michael Jackson.
Tu Michael began to emulate Michael Jackson's dancing at age 11, while in the 6th grade. Three years later, he performed for the first time at his school's English Festival. Then, while attending the Institute of International Relations, he formed a group called "Moondancers", who began performing frequently at clubs, parties, and corporate promotional events.
Tu Michael's story, however, is not one merely of a child who begins to dance and perform publicly. His childhood was quite different from his current stage persona. Tu grew up as "the quiet kid," a shy young boy who lacked the confidence and motivation to do anything beyond merely attending school.
Then came the music and dancing of Michael Jackson.
The rhythm. The moves. The passion. As young Tu heard MJ sing and watched him dance, he felt a new energy course through his being. He had found inspiration, motivation, and purpose, and began to channel those feelings into his own dance moves. He has even developed his own motto, mantra he lives by:
"I am not Number One, but I will be the Only One"
"Dance by the feet, feel by the heart"
When asked about his goals, Tu Michael is quick to point out that he does not seek fame or fortune, nor does he obsess over becoming a Michael Jackson imitator. "I do not want to live my life in showbiz…I would like my story to inspire others. There are hidden talents in everyone, but you may not dare to recognize it."
Beyond dancing, himself, Tu Michael has begun to teach others. His aim is to show students the true meaning of dancing. "It's not about skills or technique," he says. "It's about the passion in dancing…it's the spirit."
Apparently, his students are learning very well. In 2011, a 12-year-old pupil of his named Dang Quan won the television show/competition Vietnam's Got Talent. The hard-to-please judge akin to American Idol's Simon Cowell, musician Huy Tuan, praised, "You convince us with your every single dance move." Having a young student receive such a mature evaluation is a testament to Tu Michael's "beyond technique" philosophy.
From quality standpoint, Tu Michael is not up there with the renowned Michael Jackson impersonators, nor does he claim to be. Performers like Navi and Maxx Vega appear have shared Michael's plastic surgeon—their authenticity reaches clone-like levels. Instead, it is Tu Michael's normalcy, his every-man persona, that audience find most compelling.
The moves and grooves of Michael Jackson have inspired a guy in Vietnam to dance in the public eye. Then taking it a step further, the world at large is taken enough by Tu Michael's dances and his incorporation of those into short videos, that Tu Michael has made himself into a bit of an internet sensation.
Inspired by the energy he feels when dancing, Tu Michael has taken his Moondancing to global levels via the web. After reading about making money online he stumbled upon Fiverr.com, a website that allows Sellers to do most anything for a standard fee of five dollars. Tu thought of his passion for dancing and posted a Gig stating that he would "dance like Michael Jackson for $5." He forgot about Fiverr until, two weeks later, he received a request for his dancing Gig.
After a some revisions and a more direct sell toward commercial promotions, with extra money, Tu now offers to dance to the song of your choice (MJ or otherwise), in various costumes, in multiple settings, or even against a green screen backdrop, and offers a variety of upgrades.
Tu Michael does not perform for the money, however, whether it is a large corporate paycheck or an internet customer's USD. By day, Tu Michael works at Vietcombank. He earns a comfortable living and has no intention of setting aside his career to pursue his Moondancing full time. But when the workday is over, you are likely to find Tu dancing to the music that has inspired him since childhood.
Only time will tell what Tu Michael's next steps will be. For the time being, we know he will dance, teach, and spread his story, hoping that his own life experiences will inspire others. He is hopeful other "quiet kids" similar to himself will find their own passion, be it dancing, singing, or something altogether different.

After 25 Years, Electric Squabble Is Settled
By editor
Good morning. I'm Renee Montagne. A cold winter, a stifling summer, and your power bill will spike. But Grace Edwards' electric bill had seemed high for 25 years. Connecticut Light and Power first told her it must be an extra TV or her air conditioning. Turns out, Edwards was paying to power two street lights. The Hartford Courant reports she's been issued a refund of $10,491, what she overpaid plus interest, plus an apology. It's MORNING EDITION.
