In French print media, Anglicisms are 'le buzz'
Despite long being a bastion against foreign imports into the French language, French newspapers and magazines are undergoing 'un boom' in the use of Anglicisms.
"Etes-vous un trader, une working girl successful, ou un web marketeur? Aimez-vous la Caesar salad, le fudge, et les grogs healthy?"
It's not quite the French you learned at school, but more and more you'll find such Anglicisms in France's print media – despite its reputation of being more linguistically conservative than radio, TV, or the web.
An increasing number of English words are being used publicly despite the best efforts of the Académie française. Since the institution started working on its latest dictionary in 1986, with words like jogging, blue-jean, or ketchup becoming kosher, the French media has incorporated many more English words and la deep ecology, le it-bag, and le buzz now feature on magazine covers.
One of the reasons for this increase is access to the US way of life through the Internet by journalists who either don't find a proper translation or deliberately use the original as it sounds plus in, for instance westernization rather than occidentalisation. Until recently, garçon manqué would have been preferred to tomboy.
Historically, the French have put up resistance to Anglicisms, mainly through the Académie, set up in the 17th century by Richelieu, officially to help the French language cover the worlds of arts and science. But the rise of the Internet has submerged the Académie and rendered it powerless before this linguistic tsunami.
New information technology has brought along verbs such as podcasté, chatté, or tweaté. Designers have caught on the trend and websites created with French-language users in mind bear names such as free.fr, while young Christians are lured onto zebible.com.

Everyone remembers the most expensive business card ever, commission by a saudi family. This one is way cooler and it only costs $3.
Cody Shaw an enterprising young electrical engineer wanted to directly impress all those who received one of his business cards. What did he do? Well, he did some electrical engineering on the business card itself.
Cody Shaw, a first-year University of Waterloo engineering student who wanted to get himself a job in printed circuit board design and manufacture, decided to use a tiny circuit board as a business card. Rigging up LEDs with what's known as a 555 timer, the card's LEDs flashing patterns change when you interact with the timer using different light sources.
But will it work? Cody says he went for his first job interview using the business card last Saturday, and reports, "my interview went great!" Who thinks this guy will get himself a job, pronto? For details about how he created this cool card, along with schematics, take a look at Cody Shaw's site.

The graphic novel Not My Bag follows the travails of a comic book artist and writer Sina Grace who took a department store job to cover some unexpected car accident related bills. His decision makes perfect sense and the logic behind it - holding down an undesirable job for the time it takes to get a grip on your finances - is really quite admirable. We've all worked for the man when we didn't want to and the book seems set up to share all of Grace's frustrations along with lots of on job snarkiness. But then the author throws a major curveball - he starts to like his job.
"Like" is actually not the right word here, more it's that he becomes seduced by the store and the people he works for. The competitiveness of department store employment is laid bare (did you have any idea how insane it is?), and Grace fell for it hook, line and sinker. He became a selling fool, dazzling his floor and department managers. Soon enough climbing up the department store ladder became the center of his life and his creative career is at first neglected and then pretty much completely ignored. Grace is dressing in Alexander McQueen and wooing shoppers, he's promised a shot at a great new department, he's going places!!!!
Well, as long as the only place he wants to go to is in the department store.
Bit by bit Grace shows how he fell to pieces, lost his focus and even got a little close to losing his patient and endearing boyfriend. The manipulative powers exhibited by his bosses are something to behold (if only they used their powers for good!) and all too soon he starts to go crazy in paranoid manipulation land as well and lashes out at his co-workers. Everything comes down to moving the merchandise, pleasing people who have no respect for him and winning points with those who are happily using and abusing him. It's a sick system but a crazy seductive one. You can see how Grace lost sight of his initial plan and how hard it was to walk away.
A note on the illustrations: the artwork is spare and direct and Grace excels at facial expressions, easily conveying all manner of subtle emotions - very well done. See also Gabrielle Gantz's review from last month over at The Contextual Life. Here's a bit:
All the melodrama of working in retail is on display in Not My Bag, from an evil boss whose nature is depicted through grotesque facial renderings to the silent competition of fellow coworkers. More importantly, however, Not My Bag is a warning, it shows what happens when one forgoes their passion and, at best, chases after someone else's dream.

Not enough games have big comedy hammers in them. Perhaps we would have been less disappointed by Sony's E3 presentation if Phil Harrison had demonstrated the new motion-sensitive controller with a giant hammer and not a fl ying joypad... well, OK, maybe not. But as the hammer power-up demonstrates by attaching a massive great mallet to the front of your car, letting you squash your opponents fl at, Micro Machines V4 embraces fun, just as the original games did on the Mega Drive in the early '90s. In fact, the first thing you notice when you play V4 is how faithful it is to the 16-bit classics. There's no music during races - just the sound of tiny engines, incidental background sounds and now the 'bloop... BANG' of weapon pick-ups. It's reassuringly familiar, like your mum's cooking.
But, of course, there are changes - the biggest being the camera. The default setting always sets the camera behind the cars - not a chase view as such, more isometric - and it shifts to keep the next corner at the top of the screen. It works like a charm, making control enjoyably straightforward. There is a fixed 'classic' option, though. But this only illustrates why the camera needed to be changed in the first place.
The cars handle exactly as you'd hope, too, with some great powerslides accessed by sliding your thumb from q to e. It's responsive, fun and satisfying - made all the more so by the quality of the in-game physics. For instance, you can knock dominoes into your opponents' path or scatter peas all over a supermarket checkout belt, sending your tiny foes hurtling headlong into the Jolly Green Giant's finest. Yes, control is excellent, even compensating for minuscule alignment errors on straights, correcting you so you don't lose speed by constantly tapping left and right. It can be infuriating to lose a point just because certain sections of the track squeeze the camera's view so that the trailing edge touches you but, mostly, it's pretty fair.
There are new environments, as you'd expect, which offer cosmetic variation but essentially the same challenges as ever. The chicken coop features vicious beaks pecking at your car and the salon offers both kinds of hairpin, each as lethal as the other. However, the new locations can't excuse the omission of some of the old ones. We remember choppers, tanks and speedboats. Where are they now? Forcing your opponent down the plughole is one of the series' most treasured moments - and is sorely missed here. So you're left with the cars. 750 of them, to be exact - but they're so similar, you won't bother unlocking them all. But the power-ups are disappointing. Where other racers provide you with position-specific weapons, such as speedboosts when you're near the back, V4's pickups are always the same. Get behind in a non-battle race and you may as well restart. You'll never catch up.
Visually, well, most of the processing power seems to be used on the physics. The textures are bland and some tracks have terrible moments of slowdown, which is a pity. There are some smart effects - like sun glare on your car's roof and reflections in polished wood - but there's not enough bright colour and it's a bit subdued as a result. Adding to the sterility is the omission of the chirpy racing characters of old. No Dwayne, Spider or Cherry here - just cold-looking menu screens.
Predictably, V4 is best played in short multiplayer bursts, where it remains as fun as ever, and is certainly where the joy of the game is at. Playing through the single-player challenges isn't a chore, as such, but it doesn't feel rewarding either - and you'll finish them all in five or six hours.

Northern Iowa 71, Old Dominion 62
The Panthers won their second straight without center Jordan Egleseder, knocking off the Monarch in Cedar Falls behind a 23-point night from Ali Farokhmanesh. Farokhmanesh hit five of nine shots from behind the arc and Kwadzo Ahelegbe added ten points. Gerald Lee led the Monarchs with 19 points but it wasn't enough to prevent ODU's first loss in the BracketBusters event.

This time around Syracuse didn't wait to get going against Georgetown, racing out to a 20-6 lead in the game's first six minutes. Things didn't get much better for the Hoyas despite Chris Wright scoring 12 first half points as they went into the locker room trailing by thirteen (44-31), and the Orange increased the lead to as many as 23 points (60-37) by the time the second half was less than eight minutes old.

College Hoops Wednesday Recap: Johnson Leads Purdue to a Road Victory
It should have come as no surprise that Purdue big man JaJuan Johnson was ready to make amends for a disappointing outing in the first meeting between the Boilermakers and Buckeyes. Johnson scored just four points before fouling out, powerless to help his team hold off the hard-charging Evan Turner in what ended up being an Ohio State victory. No such luck this time around as he and his teammates came out hot, making their first six shots on the way to building a 36-23 halftime lead.

Two of the Big Ten's best get together in Columbus as Purdue visits Ohio State with a share of first place on the line for the Buckeyes. They've already met once this season with Evan Turner (32 points, nine rebounds) leading OSU to the 70-66 win in West Lafayette. But after dropping the following game at Northwestern, Matt Painter's squad has won seven straight to move into a tie in the loss column with Michigan State and Ohio State. The Buckeyes are also playing well, having won six straight and their last nine Big Ten games so something's got to give.

Mississippi State, who hasn't done enough to sew up an NCAA bid to this point in the season, has a great opportunity to do so in Starkville on Tuesday night. Kentucky comes calling on ESPN in a game that matches up likely lottery pick big men in DeMarcus Cousins and Jarvis Varnado. With an RPI of 58 and an overall strength of schedule of 118 (numbers courtesy of realtimerpi.com) they need at the least a solid effort if they're to be a part of the NCAA Tournament.

Colorado cool stuff: Logik skis, Sick Stickz and slick shades
Eric PetersonSKI LOGIK SKIS
David Mazzarella started making skis 10 years ago. "I got into it with a passion," he says. Now Mazzarella has founded a boutique ski company, Ski Logik, based in Breckenridge and with a plant on Hainan Island in the South China Sea.
Mazzarella incorporates hardwoods and mother of pear into its designs: Black locust is commonly used for the sidewalls, and the skis are topped by artistic and ornate veneer inlays of all kinds. The base and core are made of more traditional ski materials - fiberglass, graphite and steel - for top-end performance.
"The whole thing we're trying to do is offer a better ski at the same price as the major brands," Mazzarella says. "We put our heart and soul into each pair." $750 to $850 retail.
Made by Ski Logik LLC, Breckenridge, (970) 453-8000, www.skilogik.com . Available at Bent gate (Golden), the Edge (Pueblo), Christy Sports (mountain locations), the Mountain Shop (Fort Collins), and Sawatch Backcountry (Leadville).
In 2007, Colin Wayne came up with the concept for Sick Stickz as a college project at University of Denver, then co-founded the ski-pole company with his identical twin, Ben, and their friend, Patrick Wessels.
"There weren't a lot of companies doing graphics on ski poles," Colin says. "It's a hard surface to work around."
After calling every pole manufacturer they could find, the Waynes and Wessels found an Austrian partner and began electronically sending their designs. The poles came to market first in December 2007. Three years later, the trio, who completed their bachelor's degrees this spring, are trying to make a "big push" to make the company a full-time pursuit, says Colin, with four new designs, including the pictured CO Argyle, blending the state flag and its title pattern. $48 to $70 retail.
Made by Sic Stickz LLC, Denverr, www.sickstickz.com . A store locator is on the website.
Founded in 2004, Boulder-based Neve Designs has steadily saturated ski shops all over the continent with its sweaters, pants, shawls, wraps and other accessories balancing function and fashion.
"Our market is people who ski hard in the day and then go out to eat somewhere nice at night," says Tom Irvine, Neve's CEO and primary owner. "What we're trying to do is provide a full outfit for anyone."
About 90 percent of styles by Neve - Italian for snow - are women's, but the men's line is expanding for 2011. This year has seen a European office open in January and the hiring of a new head designer in Carol Gantos.
"Carol's had extensive experience in knitwear and fashion as a runway designer," Irvine says. "She's brought a very good eye for technical detail to the line." $120 to $350 retail.
Made by Neve Designs LLC, (303) 440-4592, www.nevedesigns.com. A store locator is on the website.
Founded in Moab, Utah, in 1998, Zeal Optics relocated to Boulder in 2008 after outgrowing canyon country from a logistical standpoint. Zeal makes sunglasses and ski goggles that incorporate the company's patent-pending photochromic technology, meaning it changes tint to match the available light.
"It's as close as possible to one lens that works in all conditions," says Michael Jackson, Zeal president. New this fall is the Transcend, the industry's first GPS-enabled ski goggles, featuring a head's up LCD display that shows the skier or rider's speed in real time, as well as other metrics.
At the end of the day, users can download the data onto their computers to retrace their exact routes in Google Earth. It's hard to go back to old goggles after you try Transcend, warns Jackson: "You get kind of addicted to seeing how fast you're going." $399 (polarized) to $499 (photochromic) retail.
Made by Zeal Optics Inc., Boulder, (303) 449-3525, www.zealoptics.com. A dealer locator is on the website.

My Cardiff
Jamie Roberts
Jamie Roberts, a fourth year medical student describes how its possible to combine studying with a successful career as a rugby player for Cardiff Blues and Wales.
Jamie Roberts
I began playing rugby at just six years old and loved it. My family members are all keen rugby supporters and Im naturally a competitive person and enjoy being part of a team. I first played rugby for a team called Cricc, which played through the medium of Welsh. I played for my school Glan Taf and Rumney RFC from the age of 13, became captain of Cardiff Schools under 15s team and then went on to join the Cardiff Blues Academy aged 17.
I played my first professional season with Cardiff Blues last season, and Ive also played for the Welsh rugby team. So far, I have had three caps for Wales, which has been amazing, playing at wing, full back and centre. Alongside playing rugby, I decided to study sciences for my A Levels at sixth form and this is when I realised I could put these skills into an academic career in medicine. Having achieved the necessary grades at A Levels, I enrolled on a course in medicine at Cardiff University. I really enjoy contact with people and so it seemed like a logical choice.
I have to be honest and say it has been a challenge and very hard work but Ive just had the results from my third year intermediate exams and passed so all the work definitely seems worth it at the moment. The first two years of my degree, were mostly lecture based and so playing rugby and attending my lectures were not so difficult to combine, as long as I kept up with the study. This last year, however, the course is a mixture of lectures and placements and so learning has become more difficult. The School of Medicine at the University has been fantastic in helping me juggle studying and playing rugby. I would definitely say the staff and team there have been awesome - the way the School is run is excellent. The School has been very understanding and were flexible about managing my time and studies during this past year.
Most students were taking their third year exams during April when the Six Nations matches were taking place and so I took my exams a couple of months later when others were taking re-sits. I also went to South Africa for the first two weeks in June and so when I returned home, I had to make up my time and work really hard, most days studying in the library until the early hours of the morning. But now all the hard work has paid off and it was worth the time Ive devoted to rugby and my studies and it shows that it can be done - you just have to dig deep.
The final two years of my degree at Cardiff University includes placements and clinical studies, and I am considering extending this aspect of the course to four years. By spreading this out over a longer period of time, I can continue to make the most of my rugby career without missing out on the essential stage of my studies. I have not yet decided my final role in medicine, but my main aim is to work hard, enjoy it and see what opportunities are presented. I would love to play for the British Lions and achieve 50 caps for Wales and have a prolonged rugby career. I enjoy speaking to my fellow rugby players about their injuries and trying to assess what is wrong so sports medicine may be my career path. It worked for JPR Williams!

Louisville, KY (Sports Network) - Russ Smith scored a game-high 18 points and pulled down five rebounds, and Peyton Siva donated 14 points and seven assists as 12th-ranked Louisville overcame a slow start to take down No. 25 Marquette, 70-51.
Wayne Blackshear and Gorgui Dieng scored nine and eight points, respectively, while Dieng also grabbed eight boards for the Cardinals (18-4, 6-3 Big East), who have won two straight following a three-game losing streak and then-No. 1 ranking just two weeks ago.
Vander Blue registered 17 points and five rebounds, and Trent Lockett donated 16 points on 4-of-6 shooting from the field for the Golden Eagles (15-5, 6-2), who fell for just the second time in the team's last 10 contests.
The start of the game couldn't have been worse for the home team, as Louisville went 0-for-8 and trailed, 9-1, after Blue's jumper just over four minutes in.
In fact, Marquette controlled the tempo of the contest for the majority of the first half until Blackshear's dunk with 8:28 before the break tied things up at 18-18. The game quickly changed from there.
The dunk ignited the Cardinals to go on a 20-6 run to close to half and go up comfortably, 38-24. Siva accounted for nine points alone during the critical flurry which set the tone for the second half.
Luke Hancock nailed back-to-back treys just over six minutes into the second stanza, extending Louisville's advantage to 53-30. The Cardinals never let the visitors get closer than 15 points or gain any momentum or breathing room from there, and they eased to the victory in the second half.
Much of Louisville's success resulted in superb play down low, as the Cardinals outscored the Golden Eagles, 42-20, in the paint. The home team also held an advantage in capitalizing on turnovers, as Louisville scored 32 points off 17 Marquette turnovers, despite giving the ball away itself 16 times for just nine Marquette points.
"I think you have to beat Louisville twice," Marquette coach Buzz Williams said. "You have to beat them in the front court. Then you have to beat them in the backcourt. The backcourt is really more from half court to the free throw line. So, going into today, one out of every three points that they scored, were based off turnovers. They rebounded 42 percent of their missed shots. Those two numbers combined are outstanding."
Marquette has now dropped four of five road games this season ... Louisville owns a 42-26 series advantage over Marquette and the Cardinals have won eight of the last 10 meetings overall ... Marquette shot 35.8 percent (19-of-53) from the floor ... Louisville travels to Rutgers and Notre Dame this week ... The Golden Eagles head to South Florida on Feb. 6.

Hot dog, cool cat: Summertime pet care
BY JENNIFER MIFFLIN & SUZANNE C. WITT For Sun-Times Media
The 2011-2012 National Pet Owners Survey by the American Pet Products Association reported that 72.9 million American households take in pets. If you live in one of these homes, these tips will help keep your pets healthy and happy all summer long.
Heat hazards
"Pets and pet parents have a lot of the same needs, and hydration is one of the most important," said Dean Daubert, Chicago PetCo district manager. "Considering dogs sport a fur coat all year long: when the weather heats up, heatstroke and dehydration can happen more frequently. Take a portable bowl with you on any outing."
Be cognizant that some dogs aren't natural swimmers or show anxiety around water. Coax a pet into the water with a toy or treat, Daubert said. For landlubbers, Hydro Collection Toys offer hydration and entertainment.
"Check with the lifeguard to evaluate conditions for the day, as rough waters can exhaust a dog more easily," Daubert said. "Don't forget to apply sunscreen to your dog's ears and nose."
Peter Weber, executive director of the Illinois State Veterinary Medical Association, said to exercise dogs during cooler hours.
"Hot surfaces like asphalt, sidewalks and sand can burn dogs' paws so it's better to bring them out early or later in the day," he said. "A small kiddie pool, placed in the shade with fresh water, is great for hydrating and cooling down."
Weber said giving a fur cut or shave to longhaired breeds helps them endure hot temps better.
Pesky pests
Since veterinarians slated 2012 to be one of the worst flea and tick seasons in 10 years, animals must be protected through topical or oral monthly medicines such as Advantix and Advantage.
"Don't neglect to treat your house, too: carpets, cushions, drapes, the yard and a pet's bedding, kennels and favorite hangouts," Daubert said. "Ridding your pet and their environment of these hardy pests is a tough job but you will rest easier knowing your dog doesn't have to be subjected to terrible scratching or the diseases these parasites can inflict."
Keep your dog up-to-date with its vaccinations, especially heartworm. Parasites are more prevalent in the summer, as dogs spend more time outside and come in contact with more animals. Keep them brushed, clean and give them preventative medicine.
VCA North Chicago Animal Hospital in Chicago cited that parasites could become dangerous not only to dogs but also to humans. The VCA experts recommend regular vet visits and administering medicine diligently. One missed dose can open opportunities for parasites. Home delivery helps ensure medicine is always on-hand.
Allow time for topical medication to take effect before your pet bathes or swims.
"Read the package insert well and double check with your veterinarian for instructions," Weber said.
Ruff rider
When traveling a pet, Daubert said to consider the best mode of transportation as well as safety issues and potty breaks.
Daubert and Weber both insist: when traveling by car in the summer, never leave your dog unattended. Heatstroke and death can occur within minutes of being exposed to warm temperatures.
"Keep your dog cool in the car by putting icepacks in his crate," Daubert advised. "Make sure the crate is well ventilated; put a sunshade on your car windows; bring along fresh water and a bowl and a tarp or tent so you can set up a shady spot when you stop. Keep a spray bottle filled with water to spritz on your do."
Weber said owners should consider restraining their pets during car rides. If an accident occurred, unrestrained dogs are more susceptible to injury and death.
According to the VCA North Chicago Animal Hospital, when traveling by plane, familiarize yourself with the airline's pet travel requirements.
Use airlines that hand carry your pet, inside its carrier, to and from the aircraft. Otherwise, your pet might be placed on a conveyor belt with the other baggage. Take direct flights, and avoid connections and layovers. This eliminates missed baggage connections and the chance that your buddy will be left exposed in extreme weather.

Francis Hall Project Begins
Date: 4/5/2011
Work is slated to begin on the exciting Francis Hall campus-side entryway and renovation beginning the week of April 11. The project will transform the space inside and out and includes creation of a contemporary entryway and foyer that provides access to the Theater and Recital Hall as well as a new art gallery, music studios, and recital spaces. A dramatically terraced student plaza will be completed on the exterior with a water feature and patio. Plans call for the project to be finished in time for the beginning of the fall semester.
As a result of the construction, visitors as well as faculty, staff and students are reminded of these important changes:
Francis Hall Access
Effective the week of April 11, those entering Francis Hall should use the Court Yard door or the front, main entry way as indicated on this map. Access to the existing primary campus side entrance will be limited. Easy to understand signage will indicate the appropriate doors for use.Parking
Parking will also be affected during this time. All parking in front of Francis Hall will be eliminated as those areas will be under construction. Guest parking will be established in the smaller "Library" lot adjacent to the greenhouse. Faculty and staff who normally park in Francis Hall spaces should find parking in existing Faculty & Staff lots.Hours of Activity
Construction activity will generally occur between the hours of 8 a.m. – 4 p.m. Some of the early external excavation work may be performed during a 3 p.m. – 11 p.m. evening shift to mitigate the disruption of classes. All efforts will be made to limit disruptive activity.Additional security measures will be in place to ensure safety during the construction period.
- History: Established as a private four-year liberal arts college in 1958, Alvernia celebrated its 50th year by being awarded university status in 2008.
- Heritage: Founded by the Bernardine Sisters, a Catholic religious order, the university embraces the Franciscan core values of service, humility, collegiality, contemplation and peacemaking.
- Motto: "To Learn, To Love, To Serve"
- Campus: The main campus in Reading is 121 acres, with two satellite campuses in Philadelphia and Pottsville (Schuylkill County).
- Location: Our residential campus is situated three miles from center-city Reading, in the scenic Blue Mountain area of Eastern Pennsylvania.
- Enrollment: 3,000 students attend Alvernia including 1,500 traditional undergraduates, 600 continuing education students, and 780 graduate students. Over 77% of first-year students live on campus.
- Faculty: Our professors are accomplished scholars, experts in their fields, and supportive mentors. The student-to-faculty ratio is 14:1. Most classes are 20 students or fewer.
- Athletics: NCAA Division III, member of the Commonwealth Conference of the Middle Atlantic States Athletic Corporation and member of Eastern College Athletic Conference, 8 men's and 10 women's intercollegiate sports.

Only when they feel the time is right and Cory is well enough to know that his previous addictions won't harm his future family! Glee has also been confirmed for season 5 and 6 so no doubt they'll have to wait until after then to have children! But a Monchele wedding should definitely be the next thing! as they are basically married already and they make such a beautiful couple. @loveLea_Michele

The position of customer relations manager (abbreviated as CRM in many companies, not to be confused with community relations manager) is usually a senior position in larger companies manufacturing consumer and commercial goods. The customer relations manager acts as a liaison between the company and its customers to ensure that product standards are being met and to address concerns related to manufacture and production. They normally then interface with the company and its engineering, development, and manufacturing divisions to determine if changes in products need to be made.

Sweet Zucchini Salsa for Labor Day
We've invited some friends over on Saturday night to celebrate Labor Day with us. We've hardly fired up our bonfire this year.
Usually, that's one of my favorite summer pastimes: we tuck our kids in bed and hope they stay there, while our friends walk down to our home in jeans carrying six packs. Together we drink and laugh, watching the flames flicker and the smoke rise.
Only this year the summer passed with Matt in a courtroom while the kids and I traveled East. So on Saturday night, we'll enjoy the last of the summer nights before the crisp air of fall sets in and we worry about bedtimes once again.
This week, we've got zucchinis and tomatoes from our CSA box to get rid of. We'll make zucchini salsa, which you can use on top of salmon or brats. We'll dish it up with chips at our Labor Day party.
Zucchini Salsa, adapted from Taste of Home:
- 5 cups shredded zucchini (about 5 medium)
- 4 medium tomatoes, chopped
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 1 medium green peppers, chopped
- 1 small sweet red pepper, chopped
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and finely chopped
- 1 cup white vinegar
- 1 jar tomato paste
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 3 teaspoons ground mustard
- 2-1/4 teaspoons salt
- 3/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon each ground cumin, nutmeg, cilantro and turmeric
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
Mix together zucchini, onion, green pepper, red pepper and salt. Let stand for a few hours or overnight. Drain.
Combine zucchini mixture and remaining ingredients in a large saucepan. Bring to a boil and then simmer for 15 minutes.
Let cool.

Yummy! I will try this one soon.
This looks delicious! A six pack by a fire sounds amazing…can I come?!
Oh my goodness that salsa looks TOO DIE FOR! Mmm
A great use for all that zucchini that abounds now. All I need is some crisp tortilla chips to go to town on that bowl.
I agree- this post made me hungry. Writing down this recipe now!
That looks like a great one for me to file away next summer. Our zucchini plant has succumbed to the summer's heat. Boo!
Salsa looks fantastic — and family rituals are the magic. How do you juggle all of this? Oh and I am experimenting with going largely raw…would be fun to see unplanned cooking post on raw food menu ideas.
hi there! nice to meetcha! nice blog, my husband and i are actually waiting for it to get dark to fire up our fire pit in the backyard for the first time. so excited! keep writing!
What a wonderful way to celebrate and to use up your veggie goodies. Looks absolutely delicious!

Texas Zoo gets new screech owlets (video)
May 14, 2012 at 12:14 a.m.
Updated May 17, 2012 at 12:17 a.m.
ALSO KNOWN AS: Otus Asio or Megascops Asio
MEASUREMENTS: Has an average body length of 7-9 inches, a wingspan of 18-24 inches, and weighs 5-9 ounces. It is slightly smaller than the Western screech owl.
HABITAT: Found in wooded areas from 3,000 feet to river valleys and city parks. They occupy the United States east of the Rocky Mountains and northeastern Mexico.
DIET: Diet consists mainly of insects, small mammals, birds, crayfish and earthworms. Their hunting strategy is to survey prey from a perched position then swoop down to catch the prey, or forage while walking along the ground.
REPRODUCTION: Nests in natural tree cavities, old woodpecker holes, or man-made nest boxes. The female lays three to seven eggs that are incubated for 26 days. Both parents feed the young owls. The owlets will leave the nest in about 25-27 days, but will be tended by the parents for another five to six weeks. Can reproduce at one year of age.
NAME DERIVATION: The scientific name comes from the Latin words otus, meaning a kind of owl with long "ear" feathers, and asio, a word used by the Greek philosopher Pliny to specify a horned owl. The common name indicates the bird's range in North America. Eastern screech owls have also been known as common screech owl, little owl, scritch owl, little horned owl, little grey owl and red owl.
BEHAVIOR: Its hunting is mostly nocturnal but often crepuscular and occasionally diurnal. Its whinnying and trilling songs are familiar, but its vocalizations also include rasps, barks, hoots, chuckles, and screeches. It is named for its surprising call, which can sound like a crying child.
The Eastern Screech-Owl's color ranges from gray to brown to reddish. The chicks in a nest may be different colors.
Dead tree snags are important to cavity nesters like screech-owls.
Eastern Screech Owls are the smallest "tufted" owl in the Eastern United States.
Eastern Screech Owls are almost entirely nocturnal unlike other owls that are sometimes active during the day.
Eastern Screech owls have been known to dive bomb humans who get to close to their nests.
They have special feathers, which buffer sound; thus making them silent flyers.
Sources: peregrinefund.org/subsites/explore-raptors-2001/ owls/escreech.html
Michael Magaw, animal curator at the Texas Zoo
Name that owl
Because the owlets are sure to impact Crossroads residents young and old for years to come, the Texas Zoo is inviting Advocate readers to participate in naming the baby owls. Readers are asked to submit their name suggestions online.
Zoo staff will announce the winning names in coming weeks. Winners will have their names announced both on the Advocate's website and the zoo's newsletter.
Michael Magaw beamed as he leaned over to nuzzle the fuzzy, gray baby owl sitting in the palm of his hand Tuesday afternoon.
A proud surrogate papa, Magaw, animal curator at the Texas Zoo, spent the last few weeks feeding and caring for the Eastern screech owlet, who along with its four siblings, was dropped off at the zoo in late April.
"They're adjusting very well," said Magaw, as the nearly 3-month-old, pint-sized owlet closed its large, yellow eyes and nuzzled him right back. "They've put on lots of weight. They are actually up to about their adult size."
At what would have been a time of mourning among zoo staff, the owlets' arrival provided staffers with a needed distraction.
The zoo's longtime screech owl, Beaker, died of complications related to old age the day after the baby owls arrived.
"It's almost as if he waited for his replacement ambassadors to arrive," said Andrea Blomberg, executive director of the Texas Zoo. "He was a real sweet owl. We will miss him."
Beaker, 13, was donated to the zoo in June 1999.
During his time at the zoo, he served as a representative of his species at countless educational programs for zoo visitors.
Unsure of where else to go, Charles Porter, owner of Grass Hopper lawn care brought the five owlets to the zoo after their home, a large dead tree, was cut down by landscapers, leaving their parents unable to find them.
"I looked in the basket, and there were five sets of eyes looking up at me," said Blomberg. "I started then considering how many of them to keep."
While the zoo donated three of the owlets to the Gulf Coast Wildlife rehabbers in Bay City, they kept two for education purposes.
Zoo staff members hope to engage the community in naming the owls, who have only been known by the colors of their anklets - tan and black.
"Leave your print on the zoo in an obscure way," said Blomberg.
Since their arrival, the owlets have been in quarantine.
They are expected to be available for the general public to view around the end of the month.
The screech owls, whose genders remain unknown, joined the ranks of the zoo's two great horned owls and two barred owls.
Blomberg said the owlets, will participate in popular events like the recently resurrected Owl Prowl, an interactive event where participants learn more about owls by getting up close and personal.
"When you can get people to interact with animals, they appreciate them and want to do things for them," said Blomberg. "That's why we do what we do. To get people engaged."
The friendly owlets enjoy pulling on ponytails and are quickly acclimating to being around people as well to their new home.
They are not only flying quite well, they have also taken their first stab at hunting.
"The owl got its first mouse," said Blomberg, who joked about one of the owlets landing on her office computer mouse.
If they were still in the wild about now, said Magaw, the owlets would be getting ready to leave their parents.
Screech owls can live to be about 15 years old in captivity, but only about five to seven years old in the wild, said Magaw.
The owlets' arrival reaffirmed the zoo's desire to become a rehab facility, said Magaw.
However, the high costs of rehabbing, lack of space and concentration on other pressing projects have kept the idea on the back burner for now.
The nearest rehabbers to Victoria are in Bay City and San Antonio.
Even if their rehab facility dreams come to fruition, Magaw reiterated that not every animal found in the wild needs to be rescued.
"By all means, if it is in the middle of the street or your cat is stalking it, move it out of the street and put your cat inside the house," said Magaw. "But if (the wild animal) lives there. Leave it there."

More than 35 of the world's leading experts discussed new treatment options, research, resources and avenues for advocacy this month at the U.S. Autism & Asperger Association's (USAAA) 2013 Annual World Conference held in Salt Lake City, Utah.
Speakers at the Aug. 15-18 conference included physicians, scientists, behaviorists, psychologists, educators, researchers, speech pathologists, occupational therapists, developmental specialists, social workers, nutritionists, siblings, teachers, self-advocates, parents and education consultants.
Attendees left the conference, held at the Sheraton Salt Lake City Hotel and Convention Center, with valuable information that will empower them to help themselves, their children, grandchildren, family, patients, friends, and others touched by autism, said Lawrence P. Kaplan, Ph.D, founder and chairman of the USAAA.
Increase in autism rates
Given the increase in autism rates, challenges with early diagnosis and demand for treatment modalities, USAAA's conference was particularly valuable and significant for anyone impacted by autism, a developmental disorder typically diagnosed in early childhood. Autism impacts the brain in four major areas of functioning – language/communication, social skills, sensory processing and behavior.
Persons with autism can have unusual talents as well as impairments. No two individuals have the same traits with the same level of severity. It is a "spectrum" disorder with varying individual diagnoses collectively referred to as autism spectrum disorder (ASD).
Individuals on the spectrum range from those who are nonverbal with severe challenges that can include self-injurious behaviors, to individuals on the higher-functioning end of the spectrum (known as Asperger's syndrome) who are extremely intelligent with good expressive verbal language, yet impaired social skills.
According to the Center for Disease Control (CDC), about one in 88 children has been identified with an ASD and one in 54 boys. The CDC reports that ASDs are almost five times more common among boys (one in 54) than among girls (one in 252). ASDs are also reported to occur in all racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic groups.
The Autism Society of America estimates that the lifetime cost of caring for just one child with autism ranges from $3.5 million to $5 million.
Lack of specialists
Autism is more common than childhood cancer, juvenile diabetes, and pediatric AIDS combined. According to a recent study published in The Journal of Special Education, the rate of autism in children of all races is on the rise. However, students who are Black, Hispanic or American Indian are less likely to be identified with an autism spectrum disorder compared to White and Asian students.
Early identification and treatment of autism is considered essential for best outcomes. A survey of pediatricians published in the Pediatrics journal on Aug. 19 suggests that language barriers in the doctor's office and the lack of culturally appropriate awareness materials contribute to a lag in early diagnosis of autism among Latino families.
However, the pediatricians surveyed say that a common problem across all communities is the general lack of developmental and autism specialists – the biggest barrier to early diagnosis.
Community outreach
The USAAA's mission is to "provide the opportunity for everyone living on the autism spectrum disorder to achieve their fullest potential, by enriching the autism community with education, training, accessible resources, and partnerships with local and national projects."
Kaplan, the father of a child with autism, said 50 scholarships were offered to the underserved Latino community to attend the conference and the organization is exploring sources of outreach to the African-American community.
At the opening session on Aug. 16, Dr. Temple Grandin addressed more than 700 attendees. Grandin is one of the most famous and highly accomplished adults with autism in the world.
Her life was brought to the screen in the HBO film "Temple Grandin,'' which received seven Emmy awards in 2010. A best-selling author, she also is a professor of Animal Sciences at Colorado State University.
She shared anecdotes, images of her brain, humor and a wealth of insight gained from her journey with autism. She discussed early intervention strategies, the importance of teaching and exposing children with autism and fostering a work ethic, preparation for employment and succeeding in the workforce, differences between verbal thinkers and visual thinkers, and the priority of addressing sensory processing issues common to persons on the spectrum.
Exploring the brain
Dr. Martha Herbert, Assistant Professor of Neurology at Harvard Medical School on the cutting edge of research and a Pediatric Neurologist with subspecialty certification in Neurodevelopmental Disabilities at the Massachusetts General Hospital, spoke on Aug. 17.
She is the author of "The Autism Revolution: Whole-Body Strategies for Making Life All It Can Be," released in 2012. She discussed the various connections in the brain, the interrelationships between the brain and body, the latest treatment modalities, and brain plasticity – the brain's natural ability to change. She also described the dynamics of how the brain can change for better or worse in response to negative input such as irritants or toxins or in response to positive input such as nutritional supplementation and healthy diet.
Other renowned experts and professionals included Tim Page, a Pulitzer Prize winner and professor who was grateful for his diagnosis at age 45; Stephen M. Shore, a world-renowned lecturer who overcame his autism challenges and is now a professor of special education; and Elaine Hall, a mother of a child with autism and founder of the theater and film program, The Miracle Project.
Living with autism
Siblings of individuals on the autism spectrum also shared their experiences and perspectives on living with autism, as well as lessons learned. Panel members ranged in ages from 9 to 19.
"Sometimes it can be really hard" said Qwyn, age 9, who has two siblings with autism.
"My sister's mood is not always good," but "I love her a lot, and my brother is in a group home.'' Her mom, she says, taught her a lot about autism, as well as extended family members like her uncle who just treats her sister like a human being.
Another sibling, Madison, age 19, read a poem to the audience that her parents wrote in 2001 when she was 7 years old to help her and others understand autism. She says "it sucks sometimes," but she realizes that every family has its own difficulties and everyone is going through something. It's a matter of "perspective."
Madison's advice for siblings is to make an effort to have a relationship with a sibling with autism, even if it's not traditional, as it will greatly enhance their lives beyond what they could believe.
When asked about bullying, the siblings shared the varying experiences of seeing their siblings fully accepted and appreciated, as well as rare occasions of dealing with people who are bullies and overly critical and judgmental.
"It makes me sad truly to see that people with disabilities are looked on so differently," said 17-year-old Andrew. "I have personally made it my mission to make people understand that we are all equal and special in our own way."
He added, "I've shed a few tears for my brother," but "time and love heals all wounds."
The shift in his perspective happened in growing up and realizing the effect of it. It was worth all of the work I put into it, Andrew says. "It gets better. You might see the troubles in front of you right now – the mountain – but once you climb it, you're in the clouds and it's great."
Candid panel
A self-advocacy panel comprised of several highly esteemed persons diagnosed with autism or Asperger's Syndrome candidly discussed the daunting personal challenges of coping with depression, misinformation, dietary issues, suicidal thoughts and self-harming behavior.
When asked what they would like people to remember the most, one panel member told the audience that she just wants people to understand what it's like to live with autism and how hard they have to work. She wants people to "embrace them, accept them for who they are and understand their limits."
"Even people who are neurotypical think differently than the person who is sitting next to them," said another panel member, and if given the chance, "people with autism can succeed beyond anyone's expectations and go farther than anyone ever thought they would."

Glacier Flying Tips from Merrill Wien
Actually, glacier flying usually means mountain flying, too. It's very important to be aware of the wind direction and velocity and have an understanding what affect that wind will have where you will be flying. Flying on the lee side of a mountain ridge usually means downdrafts and the windward side usually means updrafts, and depending on your direction it could also mean downdrafts in the whole area of intended landing. This happened to me once on the McCall Glacier in the Brooks Range. As I descended into the gorge, I became aware of strong downdrafts and I could not hold altitude even with full power. Fortunately, I had made many landings there and knew where I wanted to land, so it was like a forced landing with power.
Keep track of where the real horizon is, because there IS no horizon -- only mountain ridges, so fly up the glacier and find a place to turn around. You might think you are flying level before turning around since there is a tendency to relate your level flight with the slope of the glacier. As you start to turn, you notice that your airspeed has fallen off and even with full throttle, you might not be unable to maintain enough altitude above the glacier to complete the turn. In order to fully evaluate the landing altitude and surface conditions, it is important to be able to take a close look at the landing area, especially if you have not landed there before.
About 8000MSL at the Brooks Range, 1957 Look for crevasses, the condition of the surface, and if there is any side slope. Until you get a good look at the surface from a shallow angle, side slope is hard to detect. Although making the turn around up the glacier for a downhill pass can be hazardous, it is better than flying up the glacier because it is usually impossible to out-climb the glacier. My first landing at the head of the McCall Glacier was a hairy landing. I thought that I had picked a good spot and approach direction. Just before touchdown, I realized that the landing area sloped down to the right. I added full power and turned into the slope, landing somewhat sideways. Another lesson learned -- check the side slope on the down-glacier run.
Once you have determined the touchdown altitude, it is a good idea to start your final approach at two or three hundred feet higher. You will think that you are going to overshoot but don't be fooled. When you put full flaps down, the airspeed will fall off rapidly. Since you are generally landing on a steep slope you'll stop quickly, but you do not want to stop before you do a 180 to point downhill for your takeoff. The trick is to go to full power and start your turn at just the right speed so that the centrifugal force of the airplane will keep it level in the snow without sliding sideways and getting stuck. If you stop rolling it's very hard to get moving again to make the turn. If you make it about half way around and stop, the airplane very likely will slide sideways causing the skis to knife edge into the snow and then it is stuck but good, and in a Cessna 180 or 185, all the gas drains out of the high wing tank through the vent.
Don't put the flaps down on take off in a crosswind. I was on a skiing trip to Aspen in 1958 and on the way there I read an article about a fellow that was landing on mountain tops in the area. A picture of his airplane was on the cover along with the well-known skiers he was dropping off for virgin skiing. I decided to look him up when I got there. He was very nice, we had dinner together and he invited me to go with him the next day for some landings on the mountains. I accepted and I would soon regret that decision. When were taking off at Aspen, he slammed the throttle in and put both hands on the wheel. I thought this might not be a good idea. When we landed at 12,000 ft., he didn't make it around for the 180 turn downhill and the ship became buried in the snow. We shoveled for two hours with our skis and finally got it pointing downhill on top of four feet of new snow. The plan then was that he would takeoff alone while I took movies and come back and pick me up. As he was getting ready to takeoff, he put his flaps down too soon, which reduces the air over the rudder until some airspeed is achieved. He could not keep it straight and buried it again. We lost most of the gas out the vent the first time and this time we lost the rest of the fuel out the other vent. Even if we could get it unstuck we did not have enough fuel to get back. He was lacking in mountain experience but he was an excellent deep snow skier and I was not. After six hours of skiing to a road I was completely exhausted and my muscles were sore for weeks.

Caution: Slippery When Wet!Another very important rule would be to try to have direct sunlight for landing so you are not landing in a white-out, especially in an area where you have not landed before. If you are familiar with the landing area you can get by with it if you have previously put some dark objects along the landing area -- sorta like throwing a rock out in a seaplane over glassy water so you have some depth perception -- but they say that if the engine quits in a Seabee, the airplane will beat the rock to the water. The best skis to use would be straight skis but the problem is you are generally departing from an airport with no snow. Therefore, wheel skis are the next best thing. The best and most expensive skis would be hydraulic wheel skis that lift the wheel completely out of the snow. The fiberglass skis that have the wheel fixed in a big hole in the ski work well if there's enough slope to allow acceleration on takeoff. These skis are very popular because they are lighter and will handle most requirements -- and they're also less expensive -- but there's more drag on these skis from the main wheel and the little wheel on the end of the ski to keep the ski from scraping on the dry runway.

Newington Youth Club was born out of a need to cater for the requirements of the young people of the Holy Family parish. The first Newington Youth Club started at 281 Antrim Road (now premises of the CYMS) on April 5th, 1972. In these early days the club was staffed by voluntary helpers from the parish.
In July 1972, Danny Nolan was appointed full time leader in charge and the newly formed Management Committee set about procuring new premises. Plans were drawn up to site the new Youth Club behind the parochial houses in the church grounds. The building was completed in April 1975 and blessed by Dr. Philbin, Bishop of Down and Connor. So great was the demand on the club's leadership that Danny Mullan was appointed second leader-in-charge early in 1975. In September 1979, Martin Morgan was appointed leader in charge of the Youth Club.
Over the next 20years, Newington Youth Club continued to be at the heart of parish life. It developed a proud reputation in sporting fields, especially in soccer, and in developing cross community links such as the annual Canadian trip with our neighbours in Fortwilliam Youth Club. The youth club provided a welcome place of refuge during the darker years of the Troubles and it remained open during the most trying times.
By the end of the 1990s the old premises were starting to show their age. They had provided excellent service to the youth of Holy Family and had also given a home to many other groups, not least, the Boxing Club.
Following discussions with the Education and Library Board, the Department of Education and the Making Belfast Work team, substantial funding was obtained to refurbish the building. The new premises opened in 1999 and, to mark its new beginning and close links to the parish, the club was renamed Holy Family Youth Resource Centre.
Holy Family Youth Centre, in 2006 , once again went under the builders hammer!!! This time it was internal with the development of a computer suite which houses 6 pc's and PlayStations. Also the Centre's main hall has seen the installation of a presentation system plus a fixed disco set up!
During the last 30 odd years the Centre has developed to meet the ever changing needs of the young people who use the Centre . The young people have changed, the staff have changed but we still keep providing at Holy Family Youth Centre!

TYLER, Texas – A 51-year-old Longview, Texas man has pleaded guilty to child exploitation violations in the Eastern District of Texas, announced U.S. Attorney John M. Bales today.
Mitchell Duane Porter pleaded guilty to production of child pornography on Jan. 11, 2011, before U.S. Magistrate Judge Judith K. Guthrie.
According to information presented in court, on Aug. 26, 2011, a federal search warrant was executed at Porter's residence on Smelley Road in Longview. Several computers, cameras, and other forms of digital media and media storage devices were seized during the search. A forensic analysis of the seized items revealed over a thousand images of child pornography with approximately 8 of those photos taken by Porter. Some of the images depicted prepubescent children under the age of 12 years engaged to sexually explicit conduct, and some of the images involved the actual commission of a sexual act. A federal grand jury returned an indictment on Sep. 21, 2011, charging Porter with federal violations.
This case was brought as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative to combat the growing epidemic of child sexual exploitation and abuse launched in May 2006 by the Department of Justice. Led by United States Attorneys' Offices and the Criminal Division's Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section (CEOS), Project Safe Childhood marshals federal, state and local resources to better locate, apprehend and prosecute individuals who exploit children via the Internet, as well as to identify and rescue victims. For more information about Project Safe Childhood, please visit www.projectsafechildhood.gov.
Porter faces a minimum of 15 years and up to 30 years in federal prison. A sentencing date has not been set.
This case is being investigated by Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) and the Harrison County Sheriff's Office and is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Christopher T. Tortorice.

As a homebuilder that grew up in Anchorage, dedicated hundreds of hours towards the rewrite of Title 21 and applauds the Mayors attempt to take a small step towards easing the pain that the proposed rewrite would levy on the wallets of Anchorage home buyers; I find Tuesday's letter short sighted and offensive.
I don't think that we should call the Mayor's efforts to NOT price our work force out of the housing market a "Body Blow". Nor do I think it "Beautifies Anchorage" to promote a land use code that raises cost without providing value thus encouraging it's workforce to commute from the Valley.
One size fits all solutions don't really work and will discourage creative design. The Architects, Engineers and Homebuilders supporting the Mayor's revision of T21 are the same people volunteering to clean the ROW, coaching youth sports, passing you on the trail up Flattop and writing this letter. We don't want to ruin Anchorage and believe me when I say that the Mayor took a step in the right direction.

MinuteClinic has formed a clinical partnership with Catholic Healthcare West, the nation's eighth-largest hospital system, to provide enhanced health care services in the Phoenix metropolitan area.
Retail News Breaks Archives
WOONSOCKET, R.I. – MinuteClinic has formed a clinical partnership with Catholic Healthcare West, the nation's eighth-largest hospital system, to provide enhanced health care services in the Phoenix metropolitan area.
The CVS Caremark retail health clinic subsidiary said Thursday that under the agreement, family physicians on the staff of a Catholic Healthcare West (CHW) hospital will serve as medical directors for MinuteClinics in Phoenix.
MinuteClinic has 10 walk-in clinics at CVS pharmacies in the Phoenix area. The clinics are staffed by nurse practitioners who provide treatment for common illnesses and administer wellness and prevention services and health condition monitoring.
Also under the alliance, MinuteClinic and CHW will collaborate on patient education and disease management initiatives and will inform patients of the services that each provider offers. CHW, too, will accept patients who need a level of care that's not provided at MinuteClinic, according to CVS Caremark. Signs at MinuteClinics will inform patients that each site is a clinical collaborator with CHW.
And later this year, MinuteClinic and CHW plan to integrate their electronic medical record systems to streamline communication around all aspects of an individual's care. With patient permission, each CHW-affiliated MinuteClinic will share medical history and visit summaries with other CHW locations in Phoenix. In the meantime, CVS Caremark said, MinuteClinic will continue its standard practice of sending visit summaries via fax or mail, typically within 24 hours.
"We share a common goal with Catholic Healthcare West to strengthen the Phoenix community by expanding access to high quality, affordable health care services in locations close to where people live and work," Andrew Sussman, president of MinuteClinic and senior vice president and associate chief medical officer at CVS Caremark, said in a statement. "Through this agreement, Catholic Healthcare West will serve as a valuable resource to MinuteClinic nurse practitioners in Phoenix.
"We also look forward to collaborating with Catholic Healthcare West on information connectivity and a broad range of programs, including our new monitoring services and lab testing for diabetes, high blood pressure and high cholesterol and asthma patients," Sussman added.
CHW, based in San Francisco, is a system of 40 hospitals and medical centers in Arizona, California and Nevada.
"This strategic collaboration will create a seamless linkage to CHW's broader continuum of care," commented Scott Nordlund, CHW's vice president of new venture and partnership development. "CHW will continue to seek relationships with 'best-in-class organizations' that will provide the community with greater access to convenient, high quality health care services."
