No. 22 Rutgers beats Cincy 10-3, keeps 1st place in Big East

CINCINNATI (AP) — Reserve running back Savon Huggins had a career-high 179 yards, and Rutgers' defense had another shut-down performance on Saturday for a 10-3 victory over Cincinnati that kept the 22nd-ranked Scarlet Knights in control of the Big East.
Rutgers (9-1, 5-0) remained the only unbeaten team in conference play. The Scarlet Knights finish with games at Pittsburgh and home against No. 20 Louisville, which has one Big East loss.
Huggins filled in for the injured Jawan Jamison and had a career day all around, leading an offense that did just enough. Gary Nova threw a 71-yard touchdown pass to Mark Harrison in the second quarter, and Nick Borgese made a 42-yard field goal in the fourth.
The league's top defense took it from there, shutting out Cincinnati (7-3, 3-2) until Tony Miliano kicked a 36-yard field goal with 11 seconds left. Rutgers recovered the onside kick.
It was the third time this season that Rutgers held an opponent to three or fewer points.
Rutgers picked off Brandon Kay twice and stopped George Winn on a fourth-and-inches play at the Scarlet Knights' 7-yard line in the third quarter. Rutgers came into the game fifth nationally in points allowed, giving up 13.4 per game.
It was essentially an elimination game for the Bearcats, who won or shared three of the last four league titles. They've already lost to Louisville and finish against South Florida and Connecticut.
Rutgers repeatedly wasted chances to pad its lead, relying on the defense to hold on. Nova threw two first-half interceptions when the Scarlet Knights were in field goal range, and Rutgers also had a 22-yard field goal attempt blocked late in the third quarter. Nova finished 11 of 19 for 186 yards.
Rutgers' offense was missing its top runner. Jawan Jamison, who ranks second in the Big East with 105.9 yards per game, was limited by an ankle injury suffered a week earlier and carried only four times for 37 yards. His sophomore backup tied his school record with 41 carries.
Cincinnati coach Butch Jones spent the week lobbying fans to fill the Big East's smallest stadium — 35,000 seats. Jones told a crowd a UC basketball game that the Bearcats would emerge as the ranked team on Saturday.
The 34,526 fans saw Rutgers' defense dominate.
Kay, making his second start in place of the struggling Munchie Legaux, was 17 of 31 for 251 yards. He threw an interception at the 3-yard line in the first half that led to Rutgers' touchdown.
Five plays later, Nova threw a 71-yard touchdown pass to Harrison, who got between the cornerback and safety. He slipped out of Deven Drane's grasp after making the catch, completing Rutgers' longest play of the season.
The Scarlet Knights barely missed another touchdown off a trick play in the final minute of the half. Receiver Tim Wright took a lateral and overthrew a wide-open Huggins across the field, the ball slipping off his hands as he tried to make a diving catch. That threat ended when Nova forced a throw that was picked off in the end zone with 25 seconds left.
The Scarlet Knights' defense preserved the lead by stopping Winn — the league's leading rusher — on fourth-and-inches from the Rutgers 7-yard line early in the third quarter. Winn finished with only 35 yards on 11 carries.

Psycho-Cybernetics Part 20 of 30: Performing our Own Emotional Facelift
June 5, 2009 by Dr. Lam
Yesterday, we talked about how to avoid emotional scars. Today, we use similar plastic surgical parlance and discuss how we can be our own plastic surgeons to perform our very own emotional facelift. Maltz explains that forgiveness is the key action that must be taken. We have talked about forgiveness in many previous blogs but I really like both the analogy of an emotional facelift (hey, I'm a facial plastic surgeon) and also the subtle twists that Maltz adds that have never been discussed before.
When a wife has forgiven her husband for an adulterous affair, she can subtly undermine his life through subversive comments and righteous indignation but still have offered "forgiveness". Maltz argues that if we forgive we must forget. We must cancel the check, tear up the receipt so to speak. If we do not forget, we have in short not forgiven. Our emotional facelift must require forgiving and forgetting.
Sometimes when we forgive our enemies, we do this in a tactical maneuver where we lord over the other person by reigning on him forgiveness. This is also not the method for an emotional facelift. It is not how we repair our scars. I remember when a lady came to my office very grieved at another individual's behavior and said, "I really pity him." I remember telling her that pity was an emotion of superiority and not love and forgiveness. When we offer forgiveness it should be unconditional and absolute. It should not be used as a tactical maneuver to outpace our enemies.
I like that we have also forgotten that forgiveness requires that we condemn someone first. For example, when Jesus worked with an adulterous woman who was going to be stoned by the church, he actually did not offer her forgiveness but simply said, "go and sin no more." He did not condemn this woman so he need not have forgiven her, not in the classic sense per se. If we don't condemn someone first, we need not even extend forgiveness because we did not accept the hurt in the first place. A subtle but profound thought.
Finally, forgiveness begins with forgiveness of ourselves. We must allow ourselves to be off the hook first and foremost. When our self image is low we tend not to forgive ourselves nor others around us. When we start with a strong self image, we forgive ourselves and others. Or in the parable of Jesus and the adulterous woman, hopefully we won't even need to offer up forgiveness because we did not first start with condemnation.

I like this blog entry and appreciate your sharing that parable, particularly that you placed it in context, explained its greater meaning. Too many know that only as a punch line, a throw away line from a movie. Always teaching-thanks for that. I've noticed you kind of put a plate out for everybody-thanks for that, too!

These are excellent points about what true forgiveness is!
Wow, Dr. Lam!
I think it's hard to forgive someone though if they're not sorry about something…maybe that's just something I need to work on. Yikes!

Health is better, house is mysteriously cleaner, hair more lustrous. IDK. I'm not taking any chances these benefits aren't related to the simple act of saying "hey" here. Must continue to comment. :0

I confess, I didn't really know what I was ordering and was pleasantly surprised. This hammock is constructed from multiple squares of wood, not fabric. Wow is it beautiful! Very high end look. I paired it with the arc stand and its gorgeous.The hammock is smaller than expected. Its a one person unit (or two skinnies). Also, the rope is very stretchy and I hit the ground. Hang it high to work best. Its very comfortable. I wish I had gotten another set for His and Hers.Haven't had it long, so I can't tell how durable it is, but it looks well constructed.I just can't tell you how gorgeous it is. The pictures don't do it justice.
Loved this beautifu hammock on sight, however, I tried to purchase a stand (the one used in the advertizement was not found on your site) and found it difficult; I would be very helpful when advertizing hammock beds and that you give the dimmentions of matching stands needed or visa versa. I have never purchased a hammock bed or stand before; I pray the stand, I just purchased is a match (coral coast cypress woood arc hammock stand). I could not find a "chat" area or live "question area" on your site. That would be a most helpful option for a buyer who is in need of additional product help or suggestion.
I love this hammock, not only is it gorgeous; but extremely comfortable. I received so many compliments on this beautiful piece of "furniture". It is unlike any other hammock I have ever seen. I can't rate durability of this product because I only have it for a month; but I have a feeling it will last a long time.
For the past few tyears, I've had to buy a new rope hammock every year because one of the strands always breaks by the end of the summer. So this year I decided to try this wood hammock, and am pleased so far. It is even more comfortable than my past hammocks, and easier ot get in and out of. The ropes at the ends seem sturdy, but only time will tell. The hammock was it a bit shorter than ones I;ve had in the past, but I just bought a couple of lengths of chain and two S hooks at my local Home Depot to hang it betwen my trees.
Pictures don't begin to do this hammock justice! Wooden materials look amazing and are very comfortable. Several people have admired it and asked where this hammock can be found. I have had one just like it since last year, and the hanging cords do stretch over time, but our stand allow me to shorten the hooks and raise it further from the ground with that adjustment. I was delighted to find it again so I could order another.

Grey's Anatomy Review: Change of Heartby Sean McKenna at . Comments
While Grey's Anatomy was all about Cristina and Meredith last week, "Second Opinion" went back to involving pretty much every cast member.
For some of the characters, this worked. For a few others? Much was left to be desired.
Yay for Cristina being back (although I still wish Dr. Thomas got to join her at Seattle Grace)... but I was prepared for her to be more mean towards the interns. And although her intern nicknames were hilarious, I rather liked seeing her be the teacher in her own blunt way. She always nails her comedic lines as well as the emotional ones, so really it was great to have her a part of the team again.
At the same time, I loved that Bailey worked her magic on Arizona and sort of tricked her into coming to work. It was a genius idea that could have easily backfired. Arizona belongs at work.
But can Derek ever work again? The emotional moments of Callie admitting that Derek wouldn't be able to operate was heartbreaking. She didn't want to admit it, with their follow-up conversation only adding to the stress. These two are friends and seeing them angry and upset was a great moment.
So it was a positive shift when she recanted and began to offer up numerous ways Derek could recover. I hope he does get to.
As for Owen, I completely understand his outburst on Cristina's work. He just wants to protect her and it was fantastic when she realized that he was the one pushing for her to come back. Is there a chance for thaeir relationship here again? Any at all?
I'm not sure if Cristina is ready for something like that. She did decide to move in with Alex after all.
And I enjoyed getting that old school vibe of when they used to all hang out together. Even Meredith naming off all the problems that Alex had with the place was a fun touch.
It's definitely enjoyable seeing those lighthearted scenes take place, as great as it is to see Jackson squirm with awkwardness around Webber.
I couldn't help but laugh at Jackson getting the dirty email from Webber followed by his mom. And to top it off, Webber telling Jackson he really wanted them to be together was perfect. What an uncomfortable situation.
But of course, with the good, comes the bad.
I'm not digging April's Jesus rants. I get her feelings and frustrations and confusion, but it just feels tiresome. And sure, maybe Jackson digs a little crazy, but I'd like to see them develop beyond the whole "let's have sex, awesome, you're bumming Jesus out" routine.
And as much as the episode was all about sparking change and the recognition of moving forward, I could have done without the intern Jo and her puke-infested patient. It just felt forced in trying to prove that she could prove herself.
In reality, there just felt like a lot was going on, which is usual for the show, but I think I would have been okay with only focusing on a few of the characters in addition to the plane crash damage assessment.
The final result was a shock. They're going to sue the hospital and essentially Owen? That's going to cause a lot of personal drama in that work environment.
Overall, this was a fair episode and something of a transitioning one, but easily forgettable in a pretty good season.
Now I wonder what other dwarf names the interns will get...
What did you all think of the episode? Are you glad Cristina is back? Are you surprised the lawyers want to go after the hospital?

Is it just me or is Jo supposed to be the new Lexie? I really feel like Shonda is trying to substitute her. I mean look at her:Brown ´long hair,bambi eyes, a beautiful face and it seems like she has a good heart,just like Lexie did. PLUS she's definitely about to fall in love wÃth Alex (her teacher, whom she first didn't like..sounds familiar, doesn't it?)
I really hope I'm wrong here, because Ãt is impossible to subtitute Lexiepedia! I like Jo somehow, because I feel like she's a mix of Izzy and Lexie and she'd be perfect for Alex!
This was the first episode since Mark and Lexie died that I enjoyed watching. I loved Bailey's actions towards Arizona and I had to smile when Arizona appeared in the hospital. I wish her and Callie would finally be happy again, because I love Callie and I feel sorry for her, because she already had to go through so much...
I am done with Christina and Owen! I'd rather like her to be with her new boss than with him again, because Owen is crazy about kids and they'll never end up totally happy, because their imaginations concerning the future just don't fit. I think they should get divorced and both find someone else to spend their lives with.
I hate April's Jesus-bullshit-talk. Damn it girl if you wanna have a desert go and get it and stop whining. Grow up!
Looking forward to the Derek and Callie storyline. I love these two together. It seems to me like Marks death made them grow closer.
But all in all as sad as it makes me to say this, because for a very long time I couldn't imagine living without this TV show, even I am now of the opinion that Grey's Anatomys best days are over. There's nothing more to get than drama drama drama and it doesn't work for me that Shonda brings in new interns all the time that we are supposed to like or even love. We won't! We love the original Grey's Anatomy members and nothing will change that. So I think there should be a happy ending for all of them (as far as this is possible after all they've been through) and the end of the show. Because to me it seems like the storylines are getting worse and worse now.
Adele is too far gone, she's not herself anymore and it's true that they shouldn't ignore that part but I think that she'll probably die some day. This character can't come back from this, her health has degraded way too much, she's as bad as Ellis Grey was.
I have no problem with the Cheif acting single, he is. If you remember from last season, his wife does not know him and in fact she is in love with another resident. He had his angst moment about that and then he loved her enough to let her have this tiny bit of joy. This is not about Jesus for me, it is about April. She is grating to me and it is insulting to Jackson to have to listen to her tirades every time they have sex. Kudo's to AZ for going back to the hospital and for Bailey coming up with that idea. Love Cristina and Mer. I hope Derek gets to do surgery again, it feels like he is getting ready to leave the show with how little he is doing. Oh, my they are suing the hospital,crazy and it does not make sense really at least not to me. They need to find out if it was pilot error, the airlines fault , or ??? I enjoyed parts and did not like parts! Good review, thank you.
I feel like the show is ignoring the Adele situation. They speleothems time make us feel the character but now they have the Chief acting like he's a single man. I don't like it. There should be some struggle. He's married. I would love for Adele to get her senses for a moment right when she walks in on them too. She falls back into the disorder but Richard is shaken by his wife saying he betrayed her again. I just don't like Chief acting like Adele is nonexistent. It's disrespectful of those actually in his situation.
we all love Cristina to come back, Remember it is Owen's been pushing Dr.Jeff Russell so hard to rehire Cristina!! so Blame Owem for what??
I think Cristina now relize how much Owen care about her,that's why she moved out from her own apartment
@notavan - I wonder how many days earlier everyone would have been rescued if Owen had not put his calls on auto-voice mail. What we don't know is for all three calls that Boise Memorial made to Owen - how far apart were each of those calls made to him? 30/60/90 min. apart? Or maybe 2/3 hrs. apart? Do you think that if Owen had taken the very first call made to him, do you really think they would have been found/rescued in 1 day or 2? They were out in thick heavy woods - that is what we didn't see either. The rescue itself was stupid - for all the hype it was a total let down because it answered nothing but maybe if this lawsuit goes to court it will. So to keep blaming Owen or hating Owen - Owen isn't the problem. In my opinion, the problem lies with the fact that they could not be FOUND for FOUR days.
I so agree the lawyers sould be sueing the plane company instead o the hospital. As for Alex now that he has a house it would be a great time to show Karev's family I rember back in season 6 it was said that Alex had a 15 year old sister. Also his brother was send to a mential hospital because he tried to kill there sister. So now that Alex is doing so well ill be nice if she moves in with him.

This was a horrible episode. Except the for the moment with Callie and Derek there was nothing good about it. I am so tired of the writing. Everyone sounds like they all are the same person. There is no variety in the characters. They have taken Balley and made her into a blubbering fool. I really can't stand that. They need to get the people who were behind the first season back and fix this show up. They are trying to make us like these new interns...THEY ARE ANNOYING!!! It is called "GREY'S ANATOMY!!!" Not...ANY NEW INTERNS ANATOMY. The show needs to end!!!
love arizona! love that the happy, cheerful part of grey's anatomy is back at the hospital. can't wait to see her and callie love each other again and show the dysfunction how it's done.

Fire at ISU Building
AMES, Iowa (AP) -- A building on the Iowa State University campus was damaged in an early morning fire.
The university says in a news release Friday that the fire at Sweeney Hall started in a mechanical area atop the building.
Ames firefighters responded and extinguished the blaze, but the building received extensive smoke and water damage. No one was injured.
The cause of the fire is still being determined.
Sweeney Hall is home to ISU's chemical and biological engineering department.
Crews plan to spend the weekend removing water and cleaning the building, but its west wing will be closed at least until Monday.
Some classes will be moved to other buildings.

In this section we focus on educational activities directly related to formal schooling. These include students' time spent in school and doing homework, as well as parents' time spent in school-related activities, such as parent-teacher meetings and assisting their children with homework. Other types of educational activities, such as attending plays, reading books for leisure, or on-the-job training, are not considered.
The most promising sources of information on time spent in educational activities are time-use surveys, as only limited information is available from other sources. Eisner (1989) used the Michigan surveys of 1965, 1975, and 1981 for that purpose (see, for example, Juster, 1978), but does not report the actual time estimates. Gates and Murphy (1982) and Jorgenson and Fraumeni (1989) both relied on the Coleman report (Coleman et al., 1966) for estimates of time spent in school and homework. Jorgenson and Fraumeni assumed that all enrolled students spent 1,300 hours per year on these activities over the 1948-1986 period they studied. Gates and Murphy (1982) do not report their assumption about hours per student. Garrison and Krueger (2004) estimate the time spent in public elementary or secondary school as 6.5 hours per day times the term length. They vary the term length from 175 days in 1939-1940 to 180 days in 1999-2000. It should be noted that, unfortunately, BLS's new American Time Use Survey does not provide data on the allocation of time for children under the age of fifteen, and thus cannot be used to estimate the time they devote to education.
Eisner (1989, p. 66) estimates average minutes per week by adults in child education at home, by sex and employment categories. Data are available from the Michigan time-use surveys for selected years; these data are extrapolated to cover the whole period of interest. Minutes per week vary from a low of 5 minutes for nonemployed males in 1981 to a high of 116 minutes for nonemployed females in 1946-1975. Neither Gates (1984) nor Jorgenson and Fraumeni (1989) separate out time spent by parents in school-related activities, and Garrison and Krueger (2004) do not include parent time devoted to child education in their estimates. More and more up-to-date information on student and parent time inputs to education clearly is needed.
Recommendation 5.2: Information on time-use patterns from statistical agencies and other sources, together with a consistent set of demographic data, should be used to estimate the amount of time spent in school and in educational-related activities by students and their parents. New sources of information will be needed for these estimates.

It may be "... just a trivial fact of life that leaders have to behave differently in different situations".
But another "trivial" fact is that
we "naturally" regress to our dominant style
without constant vigilance to treat every situation as a unique encounter that will not be served by a "one size fits all" method.
Leadership Style Should Conform to Individual's (leader's) Personality
, India
I believe a manager cannot switch on and off different leadership styles in different situations because he has a unique personality. If he tries contrasting styles, people will not take him seriously and he will be only an actor doing a role.
A leader has to lead his team, empowering and guiding them and not interfering.
He needs to use a combination of styles which conforms to his personality
Mintzberg's example of a conductor of an orchestra ("
Covert Leadership
") is the best example. Such a leader controls, coordinates, balances and also empowers his teammates, highlighting the performance of good, hiding the not so good and silencing those who are not up to the mark."
A person performing the role of a leader must absorb the meaning of all styles, he would automatically, reflexively react in the appropriate manner if his intentions are fair and true.
Different Strokes to Different Folks
Akshat Kumar
, India
On the other hand, having fair and true intentions is not enough.
You should speak to different folks in the language they understand and not necessarily in your mother tongue.
Similarly, if you want to take out the best performance from your team, adapt a leadership style that meets their need.

The widely known PSA blood test for prostate cancer in men may get a second life as a much-needed new test for breast cancer, the most common form of cancer in women worldwide, scientists are reporting in a new study in the ACS journal Analytical Chemistry.
Chien Chou and colleagues say that the prostate-specific antigen (PSA) measured in the test also is a potential biomarker of breast cancer in women. However, levels of PSA in healthy women are usually so small that only ultrasensitive tests can measure them.
To improve PSA detection in women, the researchers built a tiny fiber-optic biosensor using gold nanoparticles and PSA antibodies to detect and report PSA levels via a fluorescent signal. The biosensor's sensitivity (its ability to detect elevated PSA levels in cases of breast cancer) and its specificity (how well it avoids false predictions of breast cancer) are comparable to those found in using PSA as a biomarker for prostate cancer. "Furthermore, these values may compare favorably with the sensitivity and specificity of the current screening methods for breast cancer such as clinical examination... and mammogram," the scientists report.
The authors acknowledge funding from Chang Gung University, Chang Gung Memorial Hospital, and the National Science Council of Taiwan.

E-3120 50kW Wind Turbine
Green Energy that works
The Endurance E-3120 50kW wind turbine is designed to produce renewable energy efficiently, reliably, safely, and quietly. This turbine is ideal for larger farms, schools, hospitals, and commercial/industrial sites, and will produce 100,000 – 250,000 kWh per year in appropriate winds.
Register for More Information
Register for More Information
- Reduces the environmental footprint of your electrical energy supply
- Eligible for renewable energy credits
- Promotes community sustainability values
- Lowers and stabilizes energy costs
- Provides energy independence
Cornerstones of Endurance Design
Production Efficiency
- Most distributed wind customers did not select their site for wind resources, but look to generate power from the wind available to them. Endurance wind turbines are designed specifically for less-than-perfect wind conditions.
- Swept Area
The blades capture the energy of the wind. The larger the rotor diameter, the more wind energy the turbine captures. The Endurance E-3120 has a 19m (63 ft) rotor diameter- one of the largest rotor diameters per rated kW in its class- to capture the most wind energy.
- Motoring
Motoring starts the blades spinning so the turbine operates in lighter wind conditions than if it relied solely on the wind to start (3-phase models only).
- Generator Type
The induction generator produces electricity that can be transferred to the power grid without inverters. This provides lower equipment and maintenance costs and increases overall power production.
- Swept Area
- Most distributed wind customers did not select their site for wind resources, but look to generate power from the wind available to them. Endurance wind turbines are designed specifically for less-than-perfect wind conditions.
- Engineering excellence and exhaustive testing are the cornerstones of our wind turbine design, production and deployment process. Throughout initial design and subsequent revisions, all of our models are manufactured to ensure our customers can count on their turbines over a 20-year lifespan. We also offer a standard 5-year warranty on parts and labor for all Endurance products.
Safe Operation
- When the turbine control system detects any fault, such as high wind or a grid power loss, the dual caliper disc brake system activates, safely stopping the turbine until the condition is cleared.
- Passive Stall Rotor Design
The fixed-speed rotor aerodynamically stalls the blades as the first layer of protection for the turbine during high winds.
- ERIC (Endurance Remote Interface Center)
The ERIC system allows E-3120 owners to remotely monitor their turbine's performance via a website from anywhere in the world. ERIC enables users to monitor their turbine's operational status, live energy production, power output, and offset carbon emissions while operating securely on a VPN network.
- Passive Stall Rotor Design
- When the turbine control system detects any fault, such as high wind or a grid power loss, the dual caliper disc brake system activates, safely stopping the turbine until the condition is cleared.
Quiet Operation
- Quiet operation is essential for a wind turbine in a community environment. Endurance turbines use slowly turning blades and high-quality manufactured components to make them the quietest turbines in their class.
Clean Aesthetics
- A wind turbine makes a powerful statement about your commitment to the environment and clean energy. Endurance wind turbines have clean lines and make an attractive addition to any landscape.

Uttoxeter's Vase bid is given order of the boot
Posted: December 06, 2012|
UTTOXETER crashed out of the RFU Junior Vase after losing their Midlands quarter-final to Old Yardleians at Oldfields.
The town side produced a much improved display but were let down by poor kicking.
Director of Rugby Donald Hayes said: "We performed as well as we have done at any point in this campaign so far. It was a big improvement on our last game against Barton.
"Old Yardlieans played an excellent kicking game, which we have never come across before and we were punished for our inexperience of this.
"The visitors capitalised on our mistakes but could not make the most of theirs.
"We were awarded 24 penalties through the match and got no points from them whereas Yardleians were awarded 14 penalties and got 18 points from them."
The visitors took the lead with a welltaken penalty after six minutes and extended it five minutes later with another long-range penalty.
Uttoxeter continued to play positively but Old Yards responded with a period of pressure to set up a driving maul to the line.
Despite some big hits from match day captain Steve Woolley and Dan Meads, the visitors worked their way over the line and touched down for an unconverted try.
Yardleians conceded a penalty and Uttoxeter opted for posts, but Lewis Bain's effort dropped short after 22 minutes played.
Bain had another opportunity to gain points with a penalty but again he was off target.
Yardleians extended their lead to 14 points after 32 minutes when their kicker knocked over his third penalty of the afternoon and it was becoming more obvious that Uttoxeter would be quickly punished for their errors.
Before the half was over, Uttoxeter missed another penalty attempt, winger Aaron Lakin's effort this time dropping under the crossbar to leave them 14-0 in arrears.
Uttoxeter made a bright start to the second half and pegged Old Yards into their own 22.
The visitors attempted the clearance but Ben Gallimore was on hand to return the ball upfield.
As the pressure began to tell, Andy Todd repeatedly took quick taps to take play on and a further penalty gave and Uttoxeter kicked into the corner giving them a lineout inside the opposition's 22.
Bruce Mustard set up a maul and Todd then moved the ball out to Bain, who in turn slipped it inside to Pete Allen and the powerful flanker crashed through three tacklers before being brought down over the line to touch down to the left of the posts.
Williams took up kicking duties and converted to half the visitors' lead after 50 minutes.
Both sides enjoyed phases of pressure but again the visitors kept the scoreboard ticking over as further penalty was slotted over.
Old Yardleians then had a forward sinbinned for a high tackle and Williams had the opportunity to cancel out a previous penalty by the visitors, but this time he was off target with 65 minutes played.
A further two penalties gave the visitors a 23-7 lead and they sealed victory with a great try in the 77th minute.

Nursing Apps for ANDROID - page 2
please respond with a list of nursing apps for android users.... Read More
- 1May 13, '12 by Christy1019Although its not exactly a 'resource', I like the app/game called Prognosis, it gives patient scenarios and you decide how to assess and treat them and see if you're right. Afterwards it gives a pretty in depth explanation of the diagnosis and what to assess/appropriate treatments etc, and then you can comment or discuss it w/others who did that scenario. Each patient case is written by diff. physicians around the world, usually based off cases they've had, and although some are no brainers, there's been a few that stumped me but taught me something new. I also like the discussion board at the end where people post why they did certain treatments based on how they practice medicine in other countries, and I've even been able to teach a few of them a thing or two lol...
Its totally free app, new cases posted weekly, nd they're working on releasing a second version that's based specifically in cardiology, both that and the original are also available on iphone. Hope ya like it ;-)

Ramirez: It's not true that I'm frugal.
Ocker: One time he asked one of the clubhouse guys to go get his car washed, and he said, "There's money in the glove compartment." So the clubhouse kid goes out and gets the car washed, and there's an envelope in the glove compartment, and the guy looks in there, and there's ten grand in hundreds. In his rookie year, the team was in Kansas City, and he was sitting with Julian Tavares. I walked past, and he said, "Sheldon, can I ask you something?" I say, "Yeah?" He says, "Can you loan me $60,000?" I don't even really know Manny. He hasn't been on the team more than about a month. I said, "Manny, what do you want $60,000 for?" He says, "Well, Julian and I want to buy motorcycles." I said, "Manny, I don't have that on me." And he said, "How about $30,000?"
Manuel: We left spring training one year, and about two months later Teddy Walsh, our clubhouse guy, says, "Charlie, Manny keeps bugging me about his suitcase. I don't know where his suitcase is at." Manny was complaining that he'd lost his necklace and his earrings. I said, "Well, where have we been since spring training? We went to Nashville first, right? Maybe you want to check there." So he called down to the hotel there, and they had his suitcase! They sent it up the next day, and we opened it. And he had, if I'm not mistaken now, $80,000 in checks in there. And he didn't ever say nothing about the checks for two months. He was just worried about his necklace.
Ramirez: I lost an earring in Triple A. It was $50,000 for both, and I lost one, but I had insurance and got the money back. Since then, I don't wear jewelry. I'm afraid to lose it.
Bart Swain (director of media relations, Cleveland Indians): He had like five or six driver's licenses. I think they were in multiple states. I have no idea how you do that.
Ramirez: That's not true. People exaggerate.
Gene Mato (Manny's agent, quoted in The Plain Dealer, December 15, 2000): After Manny made the decision [to leave Cleveland for Boston], he cried.
Ramirez: I didn't cry. I'm a grown man. It was hard, after six years [Ed. note: eight, actually], to go to another place, but you're a grown man. You don't need a babysitter.
Manuel: The players in Cleveland all treated him like their little brother. They loved him.
Ocker: His teammates almost treated him like he was a pet.
Catalioti: I was kinda like Daddy to him, and that's what he called me all the years he was in Cleveland. Most guys would call me Video, but when we were talking, serious or otherwise, he'd call me Daddy.
Ocker: I do think he's self-conscious about his English, but I think he's self-conscious about his education in general. I think that's part of the reason he's reluctant to talk to reporters.
DeLucca: He came to this country when he was a sixth grader, and I think he got out of high school as a sixth grader, too, because I don't think they taught him anything in high school. First of all, they didn't teach him English. During spring training once, I told Manny, "I have to get a ball signed by you for a kid that's a fan of yours, and he's a heart patient." He says, "You wait here." He wouldn't let me come in the clubhouse with him. So when he comes out, he hands me a ball and a written page. And I immediately looked at it: his signature, but he didn't write it. And he didn't want me to know that. But it was a beautiful note.
Graham: He's done some things in this game that come into the news, that draw a picture of him being not quite as great a guy as he is. Like going to the hotel and having dinner with Enrique Wilson when he was supposed to be sick at home.
Millar: You can't believe everything you read about him having a drink at the Ritz with Enrique Wilson.
Ramirez: It's not true that we hung out at the Ritz. And Enrique is a brother to me. We played six years [Ed. note: four, actually] together. Just because he's a Yankee, I'm going to stop being his friend? No.
Anonymous Bartender (Ritz-Carlton Hotel, Boston Common): I can't talk about that. Sorry.
Rod Beck (teammate, Boston Red Sox, 2001): Whether it's right or wrong to hang around with a member of the opposite team, especially during a pennant race, is really irrelevant. Bottom line is, there probably isn't any other place besides Boston where anyone would know about it.
Ramirez: The press is nice. I have no complaints about the press.
Theo Epstein (general manager, Boston Red Sox): This year, Manny has made a conscious effort to be more accessible and to share a little bit more of himself, and I think he thought that would make his life easier in the long run and make a lot of other people's lives easier, too.
DeLucca: He has a Web site now, you know.
Jerry Remy (color analyst, New England Sports Network): I don't think he likes talking to the media. It's nothing personal; he's just not comfortable doing it. He just wants to play baseball and get the hell out.

Paiche — Iron Chef Ingredientsby Simon Majumdar in Shows, February 20th, 2012
Kitchen Stadium is a surprising place.
When the Iron Chefs face off against their challengers, you are never quite sure what they are going to come up with. In fact, I'm positive, neither are they.
The biggest surprise of all, of course, is the Chairman's secret ingredient. Some of the foods revealed are very familiar, but many are unusual (some of the judges may say cruel and unusual), and I have heard many a battle-hardened chef whimper when the altar rises to reveal an exotic ingredient that has never graced their chopping boards before.
But that's what being an Iron Chef is all about, and one thing is for certain: The Chairman's challenges are not going to get any easier. He is continually searching far and wide for ingredients that will really test the mettle of the Iron Chefs and those who dare to challenge them.
For the upcoming season of Iron Chef America, I am delighted to announce that the good folks at Food Network have asked me if I would put together a series of guides showcasing the delights the Chairman has in store for the contestants.
If an ingredient is well known, I hope to share with you some new information about its culinary history and even some trivia with which you can bore your friends on a rainy day. When an ingredient is less familiar, I aim to inspire you to use it to replicate some of those Kitchen Stadium dishes at home.
First off, let's head to the Amazon, for a bit of fish action.
What is paiche?
It was not until I started traveling the world that I first heard about this remarkable fish. The paiche, which is also known as the arapaima or pirarucu, is a one of the largest freshwater fish in the world and can grow to almost 500 lbs. in size. It is unusual in that it is an air-breathing animal and it lives in the shallow, muddy waters of river-beds, popping up every 15 to 20 minutes for air. Marine scientists consider the paiche to be a living fossil, a direct link back to the Jurassic period.
Where does paiche come from?
Paiche comes from South America, particularly the Amazonian regions of Brazil and Peru. Although the paiche is not much of a looker in the beauty stakes, it has one big disadvantage: It is delicious. Its flesh was considered such a delicacy in parts of South America that it suffered from extreme overfishing that took it almost right to the point of extinction. In the 1980s the situation became so acute that the Brazilian government banned the fishing of paiche by everyone except for a handful of Amazonian tribes who depended on the fish for their survival.
In 2006 a group of Peruvian businessmen began The Amazone Project to develop the sustainable farming of paiche, and in 2011 it began to appear on the menus of adventurous chefs in the United States.
How do you cook with paiche?
Paiche is a firm-fleshed white-fish with a delicate flavor that I have heard chefs compare to that other endangered species, the Chilean sea bass. The fish contains high levels of collagen, which I am told, is the reason it develops a delicious crust when it is cooked. The size of the fish means that the steaks are quite thick and can withstand higher temperatures and more robust cooking methods while still retaining the beautiful juiciness of the flesh.
Paiche would be best suited for grilling (as you would a swordfish steak) pan searing or smoking. I have not tried this yet, but I suspect that pre-cooking the fish and flaking for use in fish cakes would produce excellent results. And I have a hankering to try coating paiche fillet cuts in a spiced breading or batter for a different take on fish and chips.
The fish is also now appearing on the menus of some of America's higher-end sushi restaurants.
Where can I buy paiche?
Farmed paiche is not yet at the stage where it can be found on ice at your local supermarket, but it is now being imported into the U.S. by Artisanfish.com, whose website can give you a guide to restaurant and market stockists.

do you work for food network or do you not know how iron chef works? http://foodstar.blogspot.com/2007/09/how-does-iro…
What's your damage, ike?
Great new ingredient for the Iron Chef kitchen. Word of advice to upcoming chefs who want to battle Morimoto: Morimoto is King of the fish battles. No one does fish better in my opinion!
Simon, thank you for your post. We hope it helps build awareness among consumers, chefs, and foodies, about the Paiche fish: a sustainably raised fish, free of mercury, and all natural. We hope chefs will raise to their leadership potential in educating consumers and leading the way.
Had this fish at the Malabar restuarant in Lima recently, topped with imitation caviar colored with squid ink over a peppers bed. Highly recommended; it is delicious.
thank you for the information simon. i was in brazil and argentina in 2001…and fished for pirhanna myself. a good fish for an iron chef battle. but dont recall ever having piache.
It would be great if you could post the recipes that chef Morimoto made in this episode. They look delicious and for those of us who would like to learn the basics, it would be very helpful.
Had the chance to sample this fish tonight – compliments of Whole Foods (Bay Area) having supplied the fillet. The flesh is definitely delicate-flavored and delicious. I made salmoriglio (a garlicky southern Italian herb and lemon sauce) to go with it. Will be going back to WF to buy more!
Whole Foods (Dallas) has it on sale this weekend and they were doing sample in store today. This is a great fish! The piece I had was seasoned w/salt, pepper, lemon and some dried dill weed and just "grilled" on a George Foreman grill, no oil or butter. It was delicious! I thought I'd try to make some kind of fish & chips as well, or maybe just pan fry w/some seasonings and rice four. Great texture, ever so slightly sweet, absolutely not "fishy". New favorite fish!
My husband and I had this wonderful fish for dinner tonight. It was wonderful and we purchased it at Whole Foods. Sometimes I think that fish is over spiced. I like the flavor of the fish to come through. I find just taking a buttery cracker, rolling it to fine crumbs with a rolling pin inside a plastic sealing bag and then add 1/2stick of melted butter and then Pepper. Mix well inside the bag, then spread over the fish, bake at 400 for about 15-20 minutes. Comes out wonderful, great flavor (of the fish) and the coating is mild but brings out the flavor of the fish rather the. Disguise or hide it. And it too forms a wonderful crust

Sleeping with the Shrink
–inspired by Maria of Ex II.
When my husband was a couple of years into his grad program in clinical psychology, a friend confessed to me that she had been horribly intimidated by him when she'd first met him. The reasons she gave: he sported a beard (post-BYU affectation; he started growing it precisely the instant he graduated) which he liked to stroke thoughtfully, and he often wore cardigan sweaters. This friend and her husband would occasionally come over for dinner or dessert and games, or we would go to their apartment for the same, and she described herself as having spent several uneasy evenings with us, sure that every word she spoke, every gesture she made betrayed her deepest secrets, that my husband's characteristic calm, thoughtful demeanor meant he could see straight into her soul.
The reality, of course, was that my husband wasn't even thinking about her, particularly. He was wholly, fiercely absorbed in whether Professor Plum had done it in the study with the revolver. Games, particularly games of strategy, trump everything for him. He plays Settlers of Catan with the complete and killer focus of a Grand Master, and he's not above resorting to subtle and blatant manipulation of other participants and even outright bribery. Except insofar as it might reveal a weakness he can exploit, psychoanalyzing other participants is the last thing on his mind.
Being married to a psychologist has allowed me to experience our culture's weirdly reverential feelings about psychologists secondhand. People tend to react to the news that I am so married in one of two ways: (1) nervousness: "I would hate to be psychoanalyzed all of the time!"; (2) wistful projection of personal desires: "Wow, your husband must be such a great listener." But of course, the fact that my husband is a shrink does not mean that he is my shrink. When he gets home from work, he wants to put up his feet up and tell me about his day, like any doctor, lawyer, or garbage-truck driver. He doesn't have a great deal of interest in the minute particulars of my neuroses, and he's not an unending well of compassion. He rightly expects reciprocity.
Psychology is our culture's magic, and psychologists are our priests. Being the shrink's wife sometimes means that a little bit of the sparkly dust rubs off on me. I've been amazed at the personal and family problems people I've barely met will confide in me on that basis alone, it has sometimes seemed, hoping for some particles of secondhand wisdom to fall from my lips. (These hopes often make me sad, since I have no particles of wisdom whatsoever, first or secondhand.) Those of you who've seen the movie Mumford: think of the final scene, in which the fake psychologist is carted off to jail, and the driver starts in on his marital problems. There's a reason the famous psychologist told people on airplanes he sold shoes. The poor guy wanted a little time off.
I'm often stunned at the assurance with which people will confidently assert that "a psychologist" has endorsed claim X, psychotropic Y, behavioral theory Z, disciplinary approach A. Psychology is like any other profession. There are the various schools (the East-Coast Freudians, the West-Coast humanists, the cognitive-behaviorists) and the rivalries, the grand and petty feuds, the theoretical disagreements and the office politics. Psychologists are no different from economists in the range of their opinions. It's practically guaranteed that no two psychologists will see an issue or a case in precisely the same way. And of course, there are excellent psychologists, and there are terrible psychologists. Having interacted with psychologists-in-training socially for a number of years now, I've met some who strike me as people I would readily confide in, many who are probably perfectly adequate, and a few so troubled themselves they should be flushed from the profession. Let the patient/client/consumer (the term depends on one's theoretical and economic model) beware.
Especially in a culture drowning in pop and TV psychology, I'd like to see us put a lot more thumbscrews to psychologists' claims rather than, as we so often do, accepting them on the basis of authority alone. People concoct the most fantastical pseudo-psychological chicanery, often on the most questionable assumptions and with the slimmest foundations in any empirical evidence, and market it as so much snake oil. (Ah, now there's a pleasant thought. The Pop Psychology/Self-Help section of every bookstore in the country is forcibly re-labeled "Snake Oil and Quackery." Well, a girl's gotta have her dreams. Or so I've been told by a number of grinning charlatans peddling snake oil.)
I adore my husband, I believe, more than anyone else alive. But he's not magic. He's just a psychologist.
So…how 'bout a little Settlers? The night is young!

That title has gone through my mind many times in the last 20 years.
She is a child psychologist. We had a brief but intense and rewarding relationship. I have often reflected on the growth and introspection that I enjoyed by "Sleeping with the Shrink".
Eve, I'm curious as to how the confidentiality of your husband's profession works out in your marriage.
I can imagine that there are times when he wants to come home and say "You're not gonna believe what happened today!" Is something like that OK as long as he doesn't give names or information that would identify his client? How does that work in a marriage?
I'm not meaning to pry, but I'm guessing this is ground you have already covered, maybe many times.
I loved this for post. My husband is the son of two psychoanalysts. His grandparents were also both psychoanalysts, trained by Freud himself. What comes from living with a man who had this upbringing? 1) I AM psychanalyzed all the time by him — he's too perceptive for my taste sometimes; there's no keeping any secrets from him . . . 2) he defies all stereotypes about men who are uncomfortable talking about their feelings!
There's such a deep longing to be listened to and understood — and therapy holds so many people's dreams of curing what ails our lonely, troubled selves. No wonder we sometimes idolize and project our hopes upon its practitioners — it's a bit like the way we view our bishops, I think.
he defies all stereotypes about men who are uncomfortable talking about their feelings!
I would love for my husband to share his feelings about anything.
Howard and Deborah, indeed being married to a psychologist can be highly educational. Sometimes, as Deborah mentions, even uncomfortably educational.
Mark IV, very good question. My husband does indeed sometimes come home and tell me about his clients, particularly ones who particularly frustrate him (antisocials, batterers, etc.). He can do so as long as he's careful not to provide any identifying details and as long as there's no way I could know who they are. I think it's actually much easier for me than it is for Maria and other bishops' wives precisely because he can talk about his work and about what goes on behind closed doors. Unlike the bishop's wife, I have absolutely no idea who he might be seeing–his clientele isn't any part of my social world–so while my husband is scrupulous about guarding confidentiality, it generally isn't a barrier in his sharing his experiences with me in general, non-identifying terms.
When we lived in a small rural town, confidentiality had its own peculiar challenges. Every so often we would run into someone in the grocery store or the gas station who obviously knew my husband and who would strike up a conversation with him, but whom my husband would not introduce to me, and I learned pretty quickly to surmise that the person was a current or former client. I suppose crossing paths with one's therapist socially is always a possibility. One day a few months ago my husband and I went to the gym together, and he told me later that he had seen a man against whom he had testified in a child-custody case. He said the man had given him a dirty look, but fortunately that was it. Still, he found it a little uncomfortable to see the man in a social setting.
Karen, that is sort of our classic pattern of interaction between men and women–women want to air feelings and problems, and men want to stonewall. I have to give my husband a lot of credit for being very good about talking about his feelings–often better than I am. But I don't know if that's so much his training as it is his native disposition.
I'm sorry that's a problem you struggle with in your marriage. I wish I had anything helpful to say.
I was wondering whether your husband gets worn out listening to other people's difficulties all day. Is it easy for him to leave his work at the office, so to speak, or does he worry about his clients after hours?
Good questions, ECS. For the most part my husband seems to leave work at work. Once in a while he's run across a case that really gets to him and that he talks about at home, but he's dispositionally pretty calm, not prone to get overinvolved (as I might be).
Fortunately he's never been a full-time therapist; while he was in school, he had just a few clients, and now that he's got a full-time job he does more administration than he does therapy. I think being a full-time therapist would wear anyone out. As it is, he often comes home pretty tired. I suspect we're like most couples in that we take turns having bad days, listening to each other, and providing emotional support.
Settlers, huh? I may take you guys up on that (after I get back from my next trip abroad).
I would be very curious to hear what your husband has had to say over the years after fast and testimony meetings. Seriously, I don't know how well I would do as a psychologist in the church — it was hard enough when I was trying to be a folklorist, and that is just scratching the surface of what goes on inside the hearts/heads/minds of the folk. Does he view religion with a skeptical/cynical eye — as a way people convince themselves not to be so scared of the world? I'm very curious.
Also, Dr. Marvin — Dr. Leo Marvin. That's what went through my mind when I read "there are excellent psychologists, and there are terrible psychologists." Of course they all must start with baby steps. And yes, this corn is hand shucked.
Dr. Leo Marvin! Your death therapy cured me, you genius!
I guess my questions are, Eve, does your husband read your posts? If so, does he comment?
It's a very interesting thing talking about a person's spouse. You've done it delicately and well. I hope he finds it amusing.
Glenn, we need to get together for Settlers, and you and my husband can chat. I think you'd have a lot to discuss.
Jessawhy, I tell my husband to read my posts–I directed him very specifically to read one I wrote a couple of months ago about the history of my love life, ending with him–but although he did read and like that one, he's not much for blogging. Like a number of men I know, he tends to be pretty information-oriented; he wants what he reads to have practical value. (In this regard we couldn't be more different. As a general rule, I find practical things very boring. But it's a good thing one of us likes them, I suppose.) He occasionally asks me hopefully if I could get some kind of academic credit for my blogging. For me, though, blogging is a hobby, a way to hang out and chat with my family, and a way to hook into all kinds of interesting Mormon discussions I could never find in real life. Above all, I think blogging should be fun. Sometimes I think some of us bloggers are inclined to take ourselves a little too seriously and wring our hands over the academic publications we're not producing. (Just what the world needs–another arcane article to be read and understood by 27 people!)
Ultimately, as far as I'm concerned, blogging is just a (semi) adult version of Family Council. But my husband has a hard time dealing with the insanity of multiple members of my family interacting with one another–not that I blame him in the least! He usually tries to find a quiet spot to read or take a name while we all talk over each other faster and faster, in louder and louder voices, when we all get together at Christmas. So it's not surprising that the online extension of this kind of interaction isn't really his thing.
Regarding confidentiality and discussions of work in counseling or psychology.
"He can do so as long as he's careful not to provide any identifying details and as long as there's no way I could know who they are."
I found this interesting as someone in the church gave me feedback regarding my using "stories of students' to bring light or levity to a discussion. They thought it violated confidentiality. I have worked in 2 states, and in 4 school districts as a school psychologist and school counselor. Providing an example like this was viewed negatively by a woman who was a visiting teacher. I did not state which school, which district or which state or when this occurred. Tell me your thoughts on providing a story such as this.
A new student arrived in the district, for whom a matching language classroom was not available as the elementary school only offered English or bilingual (Spanish) instruction. My advice was to place the child in the bilingual classroom as they used English language learning strategies. The student arrived and I went to the classroom with the new student, and saw that the teacher had prepared well. She did a beautiful job of showing a world map with pins and yarn from the child's city/country to our city in America and other children's countries to ours. After discussing the students and their countries of origin and languages,Students said hello and welcome in Spanish and English and the new student said hello in his language. When this little boy found his seat in the class, the boy next to him smiled brightly and said, "It's America, speak Spanish!"
Is it my imagination, or are women psychologists viewed by many in our church with a critical eye?
I have had some interesting experiences that I would like to discuss to get clarification on process and procedure, but more importantly, attitude toward women who are professionals and church members.
