Total stylistic overhaul even within a genre can go a good number of ways - more often than not, to Hell. And occasionally back again. Here's an example of where it went to Hell in a good way. The Gates of Slumber claim they aren't in the mood for their kinda epic, slightly heroic trad doom of yester-disc, and the followup to Hymns of Blood and Thunder, The Wretch, is as much of a change in atmosphere musically as it is in the album title. This sounds so much like Saint Vitus it's like a big middle finger to the entire Vitus reunion.
I don't recall hearing this particular switch in tact with a doom band before. Gone are any harmonized choruses, galloping drums, 'Mob Rules' and 'Pray for the Dead' style charges and folky interludes. Gone is any semblance of anything that might even slightly resemble victory, hope, happiness, optimism, or even daylight for that fucking matter. This is like all the darkest moments of Born Too Late and Mournful Cries distilled into a thick stout of antipathy and numbness. Coffee followed by Guinness. Next to this, tracks like 'Clear Windowpane' sound jolly. They bleed black, basically.
"As you walked away, my hands they went numb."
Although I was pleased with previous Slumber records, I never thought they would come up with a suffocating Vitusian guitar tone and crushing, mammoth-like pace like this. The Chandleresque riffs stomp forth with agonizing deliberation. These riffs have to literally heave themselves into every next chord, as if being forced into unwilling locomotion, almost like catching your breath before uttering the next words in an exchange you know is ruining you. The quivering riffs in the middle of 'Bastards Born' sound like corrugated iron vibrating in a storm.
Karl Simon has acquired a taste for combining slightly psychedelic guitar solos with turns of scorn and tragedy. As many of the tracks feature solos sounding a bit like Roger Waters as do Dave Chandler's wah-abusing screeches. The former influence really comes out in the mellow opening to 'Castle of the Devil', thoughtful like Pagan Altar, clean guitar melancholy leading into one of the album's more depressed pieces, in the vein of a Lord Vicar epic. The end of the nearly thirteen-minute closer 'Iron and Fire' rouses itself into a bleak series of creaking riffs like something from Reverend Bizarre's III: So Long Suckers, or at a stretch, from the earlier annals of My Dying Bride. Titanic drum climaxes and utter desperation, lovely.
This is so soaked in old school doom metal misery it should have been put out by Vitus in place of C.O.D., especially considering the vocals have a Chritus-like quality during some of the more rocking moments. Chritus (check out the vocals on 'Coven of Cain', then listen to Fear No Pain) meets Wino ('Bastards Born' and the title track in particular have huge vocal and lyrical similiarities) is still a decent way to describe what Karl Simon does, but staying in something of a mid-range here, sounding bitter, coarse and pissed. Both meanings. The drums are more crushing than ever they were on the band's war anthems, McCash battering them into a rocking and heavy-as-shit rhythm on cuts like 'The Scovrge Ov Drvnkenness'.
"All the lies I told myself...make the truth so hard to take."
After a middling 2010 (Wheel and Procession being the two major takeaways) 2011 is shaping up nicely for traditional doom, with this and 40 Watt Sun being mandatory. And all because the dudes from The Gates of Slumber are completely fucking miserable for some reason. Sorry, but they can stay miserable. I have never said this before so categorically, but I hope this band never goes back to their old style of music!

But teams used to have guys sitting that they'd develop behind the starter. Sometimes it worked out, sometimes it didn't, but there used to be a higher percentage of QBs drafted in later rounds that sat and developed for a couple years. They'd get some mop-up time or maybe start a few games if the starter went down, and then later in their career, they'd turn into decent starters, sometimes very good. Even the guys that started early often saw limited spot duty in their rookie year.
Circumstances vary, but I can think of Steve Young, Brad Johnson, Jeff Hostetler, Stan Humphries, Elvis Grbac, and Lynn Dickey. I'm sure if I looked far enough into it, I could come up with some more. A few of these guys were drafted really late, but some were drafted in the 3rd-ish rounds. Coaches worked with them in the hopes that they'd develop and some of them did. Now teams spend a ton on their starter and don't bother too much to develop a later round guy. It happens, but it's not
common as it used to be.
Maybe it wasn't exactly common back then, but as the game has increasingly put skirts on the QBs and the paychecks have risen at the position, teams put a much lower emphasis on ensuring there's a real viable option at backup. The Colts are the extreme example - hell, they had exactly no one behind Peyton Manning for years.
Steve Young was drafted in the 1st round by Tampa Bay. Aaron Rodgers was drafted in the 1st round. Warren Moon wasn't drafted at all. Tom Brady was drafted in the 6th round. Case Keenum wasn't drafted (I keed, I keed!!!). Joe Montana was drafted in the 3rd round.
There doesn't seem to be a tried and true method of drafting a QB. For every Peyton Manning out there, there are 3 Leif Garret's or Jamarcus Russell's. Some QB's learn under fire better than others, some need the time to sit and learn how to be a pro. Our very own David Carr could well be a prime example of that. Who knows what could've come of his career if he'd been allowed to watch a seasoned vet go out and get slobberknockered behind a horrible OL for a couple of years?
IMHO, I'd rather see a draft pick, regardless of draft position sit for at least a year and learn how to prepare like a pro. Just MHO.

A statement in President Barack Obama's address to the Lok Sabha that "in the years ahead, I look forward to a reformed United Nations Security Council that includes India as a permanent member" has generated much euphoria in India and an equal amount of anger in Pakistan. India has seen it as an endorsement by the United States of its longstanding efforts to get into the elite club of the world's big powers. In Islamabad, the Cabinet met to "express serious concern and strong disappointment" over what it saw as an act of betrayal by Washington. Both reactions are way off the mark. True, this was the first time a President of the United States expressed such a sentiment. Successive administrations have preferred to talk around the subject. In this sense, Mr. Obama's words represent a symbolic shift in policy. Yet they were nowhere close to an explicit statement of support for India's bid for a permanent seat on the Security Council. Compared to the 2005 statement by Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice that the "United States unambiguously supports a permanent seat for Japan on the United Nations Security Council," President Obama's formulation sounds like a vague promise. Further, his reference to New Delhi's "increased responsibility" was a clear indication that India would first need to pass American tests of responsible conduct in international affairs.
With or without U.S. support, India has a long way to go in its quest for permanent membership of the Security Council. The U.N. has spent years discussing reforms and the comity of nations is far from reaching an agreement on them. President Obama's omission of a timeline in his assurance to India was telling. There is no consensus on any big-ticket item on the reforms agenda, including the expansion of the Security Council and veto powers for the new permanent members. Islamabad could not be unaware of this. Its denunciation of what it has described as India's "chequered" track record in adhering to U.N principles and resolutions suggests that the anger is directed at the larger symbolism of the Obama statement for India-U.S ties. New Delhi and Islamabad have always viewed with suspicion each other's relations with Washington, and the warmth that was apparent during the Obama visit, combined with the frenzied anti-Pakistan sentiments in the Indian broadcast media during the visit, have not gone down well in Pakistan. Since India's permanent membership of the UNSC looks today like a pie in the sky, it is best to treat the Pakistan Cabinet's statement as an over-the-top rant that does not deserve a serious response.

This is perhaps the greatest legacy of 9/11 and the two wars it spawned. A nation that, whiled honoring its dead, seeks to preserve more of its fighting men and women from being sent into harm's way to die for dubious causes.

Former Vice President Dick Cheney is trying hard to salvage his legacy, so he is resorting to spin, distortion and lies. But why is the media paying attention to him?
We're Americans, aren't we? We're the good guys. Our traditional role is to rein in the bad guys, like Iran, isn't it?
Ten years ago today the U.S. invaded Iraq with the goals of toppling Saddam Hussein, destroying its weapons of mass destruction (WMDs), and freeing its people. Now, a decade later, Hussein is dead, but no WMDs were ever found, and the country has devolved into a de facto civil war.

Someday, I'll Ask You - Book ReviewSomeday, I'll Ask You P.J. Cloud Outskirts Press, Inc. Published August 31, 2007 Mothers and Daughters. Is there something you wish you knew about your mother, but for some reason hesitate to ask? Author P.J. Cloud makes the it easy to open a mother and daughter dialogue. Ms. Cloud has written a lovely book that will become a mother's personal journal for her daughter and granddaughter as well. If you are curious about your mother's past but uncertain how to broach the subject, or if she does not like to talk about her childhood, Someday, I'll Ask You, can help you get past the hurdle of uncertainty. Ms. Cloud has chosen an apt title for her book. When was your mother born? Tell me about the place she grew up, is the first question is this 81 page journal that is ready for entries. Some questions, however simple are not easily asked or are easily answered. This book can help a mother revisit her life's journey and possibly learn more about herself as she answers uncomplicated but meaningful questions. Someday, I'll Ask You, can help a daughter better understand her mom and perhaps learn why she loves a certain song or what her dreams were long before she became mom. Have you ever wondered why you love to paint? enjoy ballet, theater, etc., but your mother seemingly has no interest in the arts? Her response to the question, What would you have done different in your life if you hadn't married? may surprise you. Sometimes parents put dreams away when children come. This book is a chance for a daughter to get to know and appreciate mom on a different level, as a person rather than a parent. Someday, I'll Ask You is divided into several sections, The Early Years, The Teenage Years, Young Adult, through >You're A Grandma and beyond. If you are thinking, my mother would never do this, she doesn't like to write. Buy the book anyway and use it as a bonding tool. You can ask the questions and record her answers for yourself and for her. The author suggests that this is a book that can be completed and re-gifted without guilt, I agree with her. And, what a treasure. This book is available from Amazon below. Recommended Someday, I'll Ask You

The Terrace of the Elephants (Khmer: ព្រះលានជល់ដំរី) is part of the walled city of Angkor Thom, a ruined temple complex in Cambodia. The terrace was used by Angkor's king Jayavarman VII as a platform from which to view his victorious returning army. It was attached to the palace of Phimeanakas (Khmer: ប្រាសាទភិមានអាកាស), of which only a few ruins remain. Most of the original structure was made of organic material and has long since disappeared. Most of what remains are the foundation platforms of the complex. The terrace is named for the carvings of elephants on its eastern face.
The 350m-long Terrace of Elephants was used as a giant reviewing stand for public ceremonies and served as a base for the king's grand audience hall. It has five outworks extending towards the Central Square-three in the centre and one at each end. The middle section of the retaining wall is decorated with life size garuda and lions; towards either end are the two parts of the famous parade of elephants complete with their Khmer mahouts.
Asia is the biggest continent on Earth, a darling little gem floating around in space.Hm, what is Asia? Who's in on it?China and India are safe bets for Asian nations. Korea, Japan, Thailand, you're fine.Europe? No. Europe would sort of be on the "Asian continent" if not for those pesky Ural mountains dividing things up in the middle, and then also the whole lineage of kings and wealth and nations and the EU and all that "give me my respect" stuff.Russia would probably be happiest as its own continent, so for now we'll leave it in "Eurasia" and just hope the natural gas supplies keep flowing.Pakistan and Afghanistan are dang close to Asia, but politically they show up in "Middle East" news stories an awful lot. Verdict: Eurasia.I guess we'll actually have to consider everything from Turkey on eastward to be "Eurasian", although the moniker seems overlappitory of the territory.The Asian economy is now officially raging like a wild furnace of lava that consumes everything in its path. Japan has had the largest individual economy in Asia for decades, but it is forecast that both India and China will outstrip Japan within twenty years.China is the largest holder of United States debt and is positioned to become the world's next superpower, provided that Godzilla doesn't return and decide to stomp everybody back into the Shang Dynasty.Text by Steve Smith.

What's more ridiculous than the war on drugs itself? The plethora of strange draconian laws that have cropped up to support it. Don't believe it? Well, Mike Riggs of the libertarian Reason Magazine has come up with a list of the five most ridiculous ones. Judge for yourself:
- In Texas, you need state permission to buy chemistry equipment. Intended to clamp down on methamphetamines, this law restricts the sale of basic lab equipment like flasks, along with chemicals so common they occur naturally in fruit.
- In California, dispensaries pay for raids on dispensaries. Last year, Vallejo voters passed a law taxing medical marijuana, without legalizing it. The taxes have been used to raid the facilities paying them.
- In Florida, a handful of pills can land you three years in jail. Mandatory minimum sentencing laws in Florida are the nation's "most egregious." Four grams of opioid painkillersjust a couple pillscan get you three years in jail. And because the law counts both the active ingredient and any mixture containing it, a 12-ounce soda with 1 gram of cocaine in it counts as 12 ounces of cocaine.

Results tagged ' Derek Lowe '
Nothing But Air
Much like the winter season, the Winter Meetings in Las Vegas are creeping along slowly for the Phillies. A whole lot of hot air and that's about all. GM Ruben Amaro Jr. has disclosed that he and his team have met with Derek Lowe and his agent. That's the good news. That bad news is that the other leading suitor for Lowe is the NY Yankees, who have already signed CC Sabathia for 7 years, but seem to still be interested in Lowe. With the Yankees seemingly unlimited payroll, the Phillies will likely be outbid if this is the case. Sabathia AND Lowe – that's just plain greedy!
As for an additional infielder, the Jake Peavy / Mark DeRosa rumors have progressed. The MLB Hot Stove reports that the trade may involve moving Phillies prospects JA Happ, Jason Donald and/or Carlos Carrasco. Any combination of these players would wind up going to the Cubs, the moved to the Padres with a few other Cubs in exchange for Peavy. Is your head spinning yet? I really do not like the idea of losing young players with big potential. Is DeRosa worth it? Last year he hit 20 homers with an average of .285 and 87 RBI's. He has a lifetime .976% fielding percentage. Knowing Burrell was going to be a free agent this year, if they intend to sign DeRosa, based on these numbers, the Phillies may as well have kept Aaron Rowand. They may have saved some money. DeRosa will not be cheap and may cost us some great young talent. I'll be keeping an ear to the ground to see where this goes. Read the rest of this article at MY NEW HOME PAGE! Phillies Phollowers has a new homepage and a new name: Phightin' Phils Phorum! We have moved. Please check out our new site and bookmark it. And for the football fans, I have also started a Miami Dolphins page, The Dolphin Pod! All Dol-Fans, and anyone else who wants to say hello is welcome! Remember also to check out our homepage My Team Rivals and our Phillies, Flyers, Eagles, Billy Penn Curse, Reinstate Pete Rose, Phillies Mets Rivalry, Phillies Marlins Rivalry, and Phillies Braves Rivalry pages!
In other news, Pat Burrell's agent came out and told the Courier Post that he believes the Phillies are not at all interested in retaining Burrell. Agent Ed Hayes was quoted as saying, "I'm hopeful but I'm also a realist, and I'd be surprised…I have not heard anything that would lead me to believe the club wants to have him back." Sad news there for Phillies fans everywhere – the GQ Handsome quotient of the team is about to be significantly lowered. Nothing has been decided yet, but reports are that Burrell wants three years and there is no way Amaro is going to offer that. Unless Burrell settles for a 1 or 2 year deal, it looks like he'll be telling the Phils to stick it and move on.
What Happens In Vegas…
…will be written here for all to see! So much for things "staying" in Vegas. Ruben Amaro Jr. in his new GM role has all eyes on him at the Bellagio in Las Vegas, waiting for him to make his mark on the 2009 Phillies team. Rumors abound, as they usually do this during the Winter Meetings, but so far, nothing has transpired. Talks with pitcher Jamie Moyer are slowing down to a near halt…it looks like he is asking for 2 years at about 10 million a year. The Phillies simply aren't going to pay that for a guy in his mid-forties. It is too big a risk. And as much as we all love Jamie and would like to believe that age is never a factor, it can be. He showed signs of slowing down towards the end of 2008, but still remained on the active roster all year without an injury. But if you placing bets on whether this will remain the case for one or maybe two more years, those are odds even the nuttiest Vegas gambler wouldn't bet on.
The Phillies have been looking at options, in case Moyer decides to go elsewhere. Randy Wolf, ex-Phillie and Geoff Jenkins look-a-like, has been mentioned. It is also rumored that an offer has been made to Derek Lowe. Amaro also mentioned he'd like to add one more arm to an already outstanding bullpen. Scott Eyre has already been signed to a one-year, $2 million contract extension, so we know he'll be back, giving us one more lefty to play with in addition to JC Romero. Ryan Madson may be signed, rather than allow him to go to arbitration, but nothing specific has been mentioned on that one. Chad Durbin and Clay Condrey are also eligible for arbitration.
Arbitration is going to play a huge part in moves this offseason. With TEN Phillies eligible, including those mentioned plus Ryan Howard, Jayson Werth, Shane Victorino, Greg Dobbs, Cole Hamels, Eric Bruntlett and Joe Blanton, salaries for any new additions are going to be at a premium. Amaro knows he has big money due to some of these guys and has to plan accordingly. I am hoping none of them will end up being trade bait, so as to keep the core of this team intact. But you know what sometimes happens with a new GM; they try to make changes, even if they don't have to, just to put their own personal stamp on the team and separate themselves from the previous GM. I am really hoping Amaro does not fall into this trap. It is a mind game and one that is likely to produce bad results. He needs to do what is best for the team, not for his ego or reputation.
As for a utility infielder, there have been rumors of bringing 31 year-old Nick Punto back to Philly. With the Twins since 2004, he has played every infield position, except first base, and even some outfield. Punto has a lifetime average of .252, with a .284 average in 2008, having played in 99 games. His career fielding percentage is .976 with 49 total errors in 8 seasons. Honestly, for a guy that does not play every day, that is not so great. So, I am hoping this rumor goes away…
As for Pat Burrell, that train has come to a stop, at least for now. It appears Burrell is fielding offers from other teams and so this becomes another case of wait and see. Even manager Charlie Manuel is asking for a contract extension so he can retire as a Phillie. Nothing solid on this, other than most expect this deal to be done this week sometime. So we will wait and see. And I will keep you posted as things progress this week.

Where Is The Love?
Ruben Amaro Jr. is off to a great start; well, a great start in totally confusing and possibly pissing off Phillies fans everywhere! Amaro & company declined to offer arbitration to ANY of the four eligible players, including Jamie Moyer and Pat Burrell. I expected as much for Tom Gordon and Rudy Seanez, but the other two are surprising. By not offering arbitration to Moyer or Burrell, they have just given every other team in Major League Baseball a super incentive to sign them: If you sign a player who has NOT been offered arbitration, then you do not have to give up any draft picks when signing that player away from his current team. And in the same respect, the Phillies will get nothing if another team picks up one of our players. So I ask then, where is the love for Moyer & Burrell?
The other side of this is that if Moyer or Burrell were actually to go to arbitration, they may have gotten salaries beyond what the Phillies want to pay for them. I guess after getting burned on Ryan Howard's arbitration last year where he was awarded 10 million dollars, they did not want to take this risk. But I also think that not offering the arbitration may be sending a signal to these players that management does not mind so much if they do not return to the Phillies; and that may turn out to be a real issue. It also makes signing new players more difficult. For example, both A.J. Burnett and Derek Lowe (pitchers) were offered arbitration by their teams. So, the Phillies will lose draft picks if they decided to sign one of these guys. And since they now gain nothing for losing Moyer to another team, they will be unlikely to sign a guy to replace him, like Burnett or Lowe, who has been offered arbitration. If they did that, they lose draft picks and Moyer…it's a double blow.
Last week, the Phillies did sign veteran reliever Mike Koplove; a 32-year old with a career ERA of 3.82 in the majors. However, they expect him to spend a lot of time in AAA, as he did for most of his career. So, why do the Phillies sign a 32-year old minor leaguer? For the same reason they skipped arbitration for Moyer and Burrell this year – the Phillies management are CHEAP. I guess they figured we won our World Series and that will be enough for the next 28 years.
Now say it with me everyone…take a deep breath and let it out….UUGGHHHHHH!!!!!!

And, look, President Obama is not running against the almighty. He is running against the alternative. And the alternative in this case is Governor Mitt Romney, who had the 47th worst job creation rate as governor and also has a -- a penchant, a talent for offshoring American jobs, sending them overseas, and also maintaining offshore bank accounts in Bermuda, Swiss bank accounts. And so the question he'll have to answer, Terry, is what is his alternative?
I've never known of a Swiss bank account to build an American bridge, a Swiss bank account to create American jobs, or Swiss bank accounts to rebuild the levees to protect the people of New Orleans. That's not an economic strategy for moving our country forward.
MORAN: All right. Just for the record, I did ask you about President Obama and you ended up attacking Mitt Romney. We...
O'MALLEY: Because this is a choice, Terry, between two gentlemen. Look, President Obama's talked about what we need to do as a nation. It's what our parents and grandparents did, to invest in our country, to believe enough in her to invest in education, in our infrastructure, and also in innovation. That is not the proposal that Mitt Romney has. He wants to make it even easier for very wealthy people to avoid paying taxes, to offshore American jobs, and to maintain their Swiss bank accounts while our roads and bridges and levees crumble.
MORAN: OK. Let -- let me pick up on some of that with Governor Jindal. Mitt Romney does spend most of his time attacking President Obama. That's the nature of this campaign right now. But when he does put forward his own program, in broad generalities, he talks about cutting taxes, especially for the very rich, cutting corporate taxes, deregulation, especially for the financial sector, because apparently they don't need any more regulation. And what do you say to a voter who says that is the precise recipe that cratered the economy in the first place when Bush and the Republicans were in power and cooked it up and ruined everything in the first place? What's the answer to that?
JINDAL: Well, Terry, sure. First of all, let's look at the actual policies he's proposing. And let's correct some of the misstatements that we've just heard. The reality is, we can't afford -- we've got up to over $15 trillion of debt. We can't afford to continue on the same path we've been. You look at Mitt Romney's record when he was governor of Massachusetts. Unemployment rate, it was below 5 percent. Per capita income growth, higher than the national average, their unemployment below the national average, ranked one of the top 10 turnaround states, so he's got a great track record both in the private sector, governor of Massachusetts, creating jobs in the private sector...
MORAN: But the question, Governor Jindal, is aren't these policies going backwards? Why won't voters say, "We tried that"?
JINDAL: Absolutely. Absolutely. Listen to the policies he's actually outlined. He has said we need a lower, flatter tax code, so we need to cut individual tax rates 20 percent. We need a corporate tax rate that is competitive in the world. We now have the highest corporate tax rate in the entire industrialized world.
But he's also said, let's take away some of those loopholes, those deductions, especially for high-income earners, so we're not growing our December.

Look on the dessert menus in your favorite restaurants. At Sapphire Laguna it's dulce de leche ice cream, rum caramel sauce and mango coulis. At Tommy Bahama's there's piña colada cake. The Cheesecake Factory has Kahlua cocoa coffee cheesecake.
Check out the sweets in the grocery stores: Häagen-Dazs offers dulce de leche ice cream in regular and light versions, and at Costco there are gigantic Key lime cheesecakes.
Stroll through the treat booths at county fairs, amusement parks and sports stadiums and you're sure to see churros, plain or with caramel sauce.
How sweet it is: Mainstream America has developed an insatiable craving for desserts from Latin America.
"It started back in the '80s, in New York," said Chef Gabbi Patrick of Gabbi's Mexican Kitchen in Orange. "Douglas Rodriguez (of New York's Patria) was the inspiration with his Latin Fusion cuisine. I definitely see a lot of that influence."
Chefs are putting a 21st century twist on old favorites, Patrick said. "Some of the desserts from Mexico, like arroz con leche (rice pudding) and capirotada (bread pudding), are really comforting. Churros are the No. 1 selling desert in our restaurant."
That's because the general public is beginning to understand more about Mexican and Latin American regional cuisine, said Laura Diaz-Brown, aka Chef LaLa, a Los Angeles cookbook author ("Latin Lover Lite" and "Best Loved Mexican") who in a recent guest spot showed Martha Stewart how to make tres leches cake.
"At first there was a lot of misunderstanding," Brown said. "Everyone thought that Tex-Mex was Latin cuisine. They thought just because Cubans, Mexicans and Spaniards spoke the same language we ate the same. But we are separated by regional differences."
These two savvy chefs make their living bringing more refined versions of their Mexican soul food to the world. And now, with better access to global ingredients, their palates aren't restricted to Mexico. They have incorporated foods from South America, the Caribbean and other regions into their recipes.
The result is something for everyone. Patrick's desserts, blending French classical techniques with Latin ingredients such as Venezuelan cocoa powder, go gourmet. Diaz-Brown creates treats using fresh tropical fruits, low-fat and nonfat milk products and zero-calorie sweeteners, addressing the issue of Hispanics' genetic predisposition to heart disease and diabetes.
Both chefs grew up in ideal circumstances - their parents owned traditional Mexican restaurants. As children they enjoyed the bold flavors of Latin sweets.
"I love flan and Mexican wedding cookies and café de olla (cinnamon flavored coffee)," Diaz-Brown said.
"Cajeta (dulce de leche made with goat's milk) is one of my favorite indulgences. It has to be made from goat's milk. I remember my grandma giving it to me on toast and the creaminess of it," she said.
"I always loved Mexican chocolate," Patrick said.
Both chefs make Mexican chocolate truffles. Patrick uses pressed bars of chocolate, sugar and cinnamon, typically meant for a hot drink, into truffles, which she uses to top a chocolate ganache tart. Diaz-Brown adds cayenne to the chocolate and cinnamon and coats her truffles in cajeta and nuts.

Loc: Berlin >Or either you could say that the "from" was elided. Works for lots of things.
It's not just prepositional exclusions that seem to be more and more common, but the verb mix-up F. Steve describes (e.g. 'to comprise' vs. 'comprises').
The traditional rule states that the whole comprises the parts and the parts compose the whole. In strict usage: The Union comprises 50 states. Fifty states compose (or constitute or make up) the Union. Even though careful writers often maintain this distinction, comprise is increasingly used in place of compose, especially in the passive: The Union is comprised of 50 states. Our surveys show that opposition to this usage is abating. In the 1960s, 53 percent of the Usage Panel found this usage unacceptable; in 1996, only 35 percent objected.
Usage note, dictionary.com
There are a few other common examples, but I can't think of them.

It occurs to me that "the truly educated never graduate" is a witticism, and the poor maligned driver of the '64 Volvo actually agrees with you, Father Steve. For, while the chemists among them might, 'most' of the truly educated never do graduate. They 'graduate from . . . '

To which I will add that I have absolutely no intention of graduating, just sliding along the slippery slope of academia until I pop my clogs. Graduating seems too much of a discontinuity to face ... especially now that I've found my way into a metaphysics class and am riddled with uncertainty as to which "possible world" I am in right now, especially if it is conceivable that in some possible world or other I am a poached egg ... maybe I should have wandered into miscellany instead ... good luck to all who reside here.

Poached Salmon (or White Fish) with Roasted Red Pepper Dressing
Created and presented by
Myra Kornfeld
Poached Salmon with Roasted Red Pepper Dressing
Why limit poached salmon to buffets or brunch? Youll find this tasty poaching broth a useful addition to your repertoire. Cooked in a delicious broth like this, high-quality wild fish becomes even more extraordinary (The poaching liquid will work with and enhance a mild, firm white fish such as cod or halibut.)
You can store the flavorful broth, known as a cort boullion, for months in the freezer or use right away. (Court bouillon translates roughly as short broth because the cooking time is fairly brief.)
When you use canned roasted peppers, the dressing takes about 5 minutes to make. Sherry vinegar gives the dressing a distinctive flavor, but balsamic or red wine vinegar will also work well.
Serves 4
Poaching liquid (cort boullion)
1 leek, greens and whites, cut and washed
1 carrot, cut into 1-inch pieces
2 celery stalks, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 onion, peeled
6 cups water
1 cup white wine
4 garlic cloves, halved
2 bay leaves
1/4 teaspoon black peppercorns
Handful of parsley stems
1 stem basil or thyme
1 teaspoon salt
1 lemon, sliced into rounds
Four 6-ounce
wild Alaskan sockeye salmon fillet portions
(or four 6 oz fillet portions of
cod or halibut
Red Pepper Vinaigrette
1 large roasted red pepper (or 1/2 cup of canned peppers)
3 tablespoons
organic extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon sherry vinegar or
organic balsamic vinegar
(red or white)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 garlic clove, peeled
Sprinkle of black pepper
1/2 teaspoon honey
4 ounces baby arugula
Cut the leeks, carrots, celery, and onions into 1-inch pieces. Add to a wide pot (about 6 quarts) along with all of the other ingredients except for the salmon. Bring the liquid to a boil, lower the heat and simmer for 25 minutes to make the cort boullion.
Remove the vegetables with a slotted spoon or skimmer and discard. It doesnt matter if you remove everything in the pot, its just so that it will be easier to retrieve the fish. Put the stock in a skillet with sides if your pot isnt wide enough to fit all of the salmon in one layer. Otherwise, leave it in the pot. At this point you can strain the stock thoroughly if youd like and refrigerate it or freeze it for another time. (For safety, bring any refrigerated or thawed stock to a boil before using it for cooking.)
Add the fillets to the pot, making sure they are completely immersed in liquid. (You neednt cover the pot.) If the salmon is not completely immersed, turn it partway through to cook it evenly. Cook the fish gently. It does not need to simmer; just the hot liquid (it should be 160 to 180 on an instant read thermometer) is enough to cook the fish. The fillets will take about 7 minutes. Cook until the white spots of protein rise to the top; the salmon should be a little pink in the center. Serve hot or room temperature with the roasted pepper or mustard dill sauces.
Make the vinaigrette. Place the red pepper, oil, vinegar, salt, garlic pepper, and honey in a blender and blend until smooth. Remove and set aside in a bowl or jar.
Drizzle the arugula with the pepper dressing. Top the salmon on the greens and drizzle with more dressing.

Miranda Lambert's Album Topping Country Chart For Second Week
Jun. 18, 2014
(Undated) -- Miranda Lambert continues her reign over the country chart. The singer's latest studio effort, "Platinum," is spending another week at number one on Billboard's Country Albums list, even with a drop in sales. Last week fans picked up 62-thousand copies of the disc, which is down 65-percent from its opening total of 180-thousand. And with the slower sales "Platinum" has slipped out of the top spot on the Billboard 200. Jack White's latest, "Lazaretto," is the new leader, with sales of 138-thousand. Lambert's album is now perched at number two on the all-genre list.

Cake Is The Best Way To Drink Rum
Why have a boring old cocktail when you could have a cake soaked in booze?
1. Let's agree that unless you are a pirate, rum is NOT the best.
5. And unlike whiskey, it didn't land a starring role in Mad Men.
8. Rum is alright, but it always seems to go out and get itself into questionable situations.
Should have stayed home and watched a movie, rum.
9. It does have a couple of responsible, adult friends, though. One of them is cake.
10. Together, they are known as "baba au rhum," or rum baba cake.
Sounds better than "Brangelina," don't you think?
11. To make baba au rhum, you bake a simple cake and then pour a rum syrup over it.
12. The cake soaks up the syrup and all of its alcoholic deliciousness.
15. So, PSA: Celebrate National Rum Day with cake, and cake only.
16. Here is a great, basic recipe:
17. Baba au Rhum
Recipe adapted from Ina Garten and the Food Network
Makes 8 servings.
5 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
1/2 cup milk
1 package dry yeast
2 tablespoons sugar
2 extra-large eggs, at room temperature
1 tablespoon good dark rum
1 2/3 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
Rum Syrup, recipe follows
3/4 cup apricot preserves
1 tablespoon water
1 cup sugar
2/3 cup good dark rum
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
(Optional: whipped cream for serving)
Coat a 5 cup (6 1/2 by 3 1/2-inch) tube pan or bundt pan with one tablespoon of the butter, melted. In a saucepan, warm the milk slightly (it shouldn't be so hot that you can't keep your finger in it for longer than ten seconds), add the yeast and sugar, and allow the mixture to sit for five minutes. Then, pour it into an mixing bowl. Add eggs and rum and beat the mixture together with an electric mixer or whisk. Add flour, salt, and the rest of the butter, and beat for five minutes. Form the dough into a ball, cover it with a damp towel, and let it rise for about an hour, or until it's doubled in size. Then, spoon the dough into the prepared pan, cover with a damp towel, and let it rise for another hour. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees, and when the dough has risen, bake the cake for about 30 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean.
Put sugar in a saucepan with 1 1/2 C water and cook on high heat until the sugar dissolves. Allow the mixture to cool slightly, then add the rum and vanilla.
Let the cake cool in the pan for about ten minutes, then flip the cake out onto a baking rack set on top of a sheet pan. Pour syrup all over of the warm cake. Garnish with whipped cream, if desired.

A 1/32" gap around the edge of an entry door can let in as much cold air as a two-inch hole smack in the center. Imagine how that would feel on a wintry day.
The good news is you can eliminate drafty leaks around exterior doors with this simple-to-apply weatherstripping that installs in minutes and lasts for years. The integrated vinyl tubing makes an excellent seal against moisture and air.
With the door closed, measure the length of the doorstop on the hinge side of the door frame. Then, transfer that measurement to a length of weatherstripping.
Next, draw a straight cutting line. Cut the vinyl tubing with a utility knife and the metal with a hacksaw, using a very fine 32-tooth-per-inch blade. Using a self-centering drill bit, drill pilot holes and then install the screws. When the right and left sides are in place, measure and cut the top. Attach the top piece the same way the sides. With the weatherstripping installed, you can tell just by the sound of the closing door that it's well sealed and that drafts are going to stay outside where they belong.
Sealing the Bottom of a Door
One of the easiest to install solutions for the bottom of an entry door is a door sweep like the one pictured here. These are available from hardward stores, home improvment centers and Amazon. Click here to view.

What would you do with 5,000 extra machine hours?
Product Announcement from IQMS
IQMS Finds a Quarter of a Million Dollars in Savings for Fellow Single-Source Provider, Mar-Bal, Inc.
What would you do if you suddenly found 5,000 extra machine hours?
Mar-Bal, Inc. is a one-source solution provider of thermoset composite products. From design and formulation to compounding, molding and finishing, Mar-Bal is a privately-held manufacturing company with 350 employees producing state-of-the-art products across four facilities in North America. Over the last few years, Mar-Bal had been experiencing challenges in its day-to-day operations. Mar-Bal's customized (AS400-based) ERP software was outdated, preventing the necessary increase in manufacturing activity required to keep Mar-Bal competitive in today's global economy. As each year passed, it became more expensive to operate the old ERP system due to the specialized support required to maintain and upgrade it.
Among many of the old system's pain points was the absence of a strong Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) program required by Mar-Bal's customers. Inbound EDI with the old system was limited to a time-consuming interface with customer portals to retrieve customer product demand and outbound EDI capability was non-existent. The old system lacked the essential services (such as the automatic transmission of advanced shipping notices and electronic invoices) necessary to conduct business with key clients.
Inventory control with the old system was also sorely deficient. The inability to scan inventory from the shop floor was making inventory management a manual and extremely time-consuming process that included redundant data entry and unavoidable data entry errors. As Mar-Bal expanded and increased manufacturing activity, its operations needed to be more agile, but employees were instead spending an average of six hours a day verifying inventory. The lack of inventory visibility also required a full physical inventory to be performed once per month that included machine downtime, wasting valuable productiontime while all employees manually checked inventory levels.
In addition, consigned inventory was also difficult to manage with the old system. It did not keep track of what was on hand at the customer and allowed no way to add or reduce vendor managed inventory (VMI) based on shipments and consumption.
To round it all out, the old ERP system contained very limited reporting tools and forecasting abilities and no way to easily segregate the separate plants' costs and sales. Month-end activities required nearly two weeks to wrap up. Internal system communication and access to information was also a problem, resulting in poor customer service as sales people on the road could not access necessary order status information, resulting in longer response times to customers.
An Extensive ERP Software Search Begins:
Mar-Bal had two options: pour more money into its outdated system and attempt to manually streamline processes in its manufacturing system, or find a new ERP provider. Mar-Bal chose the latter and the search began for a modern system with more capabilities (such as EDI, a robust inventory/warehouse management system and real-time plant floor production monitoring) without adding more operational costs to the existing organization.
Desiring an industry-specific software solution, Mar-Bal compiled a list of providers offering software related to the plastics industry, but which also could be used for assembly and finishing. Mar-Bal differentiates itself by being a one-source solution provider and required a system that could differentiate cleanly between its multiple manufacturing types.
Multiple software suppliers were researched and the list was narrowed to the systems that could process more transactions in less time while still allowing Mar-Bal to grow sales without expanding staff for data management. Industry references were contacted and the functionality of the software was investigated from the user's point of view, which revealed IQMS and one other package as finalists. Manufacturing site visits were conducted and IQMS' comprehensive, industry-specific ERP solution rose to the head of the pack.
"EnterpriseIQ has the functionality to support not only our molding operations, but also our other manufacturing needs," said Aaron Bable, Director of Business Process Systems at Mar-Bal, Inc. "IQMS' support capabilities and experience in manufacturing, plus their impressive cooperation with users, made the choice of EnterpriseIQ clear."
Implementation Reveals Immediate Results
EnterpriseIQ was installed at the Chagrin Falls, Ohio, headquarters and then implemented at Mar-Bal's four facilities. Following implementation, Mar-Bal saw immediate results.
Through IQMS' robust and native EDI module, Mar-Bal is now completely connected to its customers' demand planning systems. Real-time order updates from Mar-Bal's customers are electronically entered into EnterpriseIQ and employees process orders in significantly less time with information entering the system within minutes of customers releasing it. Outbound EDI functionality embedded with the auto-invoicing feature in EnterpriseIQ allows more than 100 invoices to be transmitted within minutes, all by one employee. Mar-Bal has experienced more effective billing and reduced average invoice aging because price or quantity discrepancies are resolved immediately, rather than discovered weeks later.
Through IQMS' Warehouse Management System (WMS), Mar-Bal can now track the movement of all inventory-every single box and part-throughout its plants. With barcode labeling and scanning, full physical inventories are no longer necessary on a monthly basis, saving considerable amounts of time and labor. Additionally, Mar-Bal utilizes IQMS' business activity monitoring system, IQAlert, to flag any predefined occurrences that need investigation, such as negative inventory. Consignment inventory maintenance also improved, as EnterpriseIQ's VMI module allows for automatic increases to consigned locations upon packing slip creation as well as an easy to use consumption menu that is tied directly to invoicing.
System visibility and communication have improved dramatically with real-time plant floor production monitoring and remote access capabilities. The multiple phone calls needed to determine when a customer shipment would be made are no longer needed as a sales person on the road can now look at the EnterpriseIQ application on their Smartphone, tablet or computer and see if a job is running or determine the stock Mar-Bal has on hand without making a call. Mar-Bal's customer service representatives and operations personnel can focus on their other responsibilities and the sales people can get their answers immediately.
New reporting tools, such as Crystal Reports that allow for the clean output of a month's activities and Spreadsheet Server for financial reporting, decreased Mar-Bal's month end close to only four days, rather than eight to 12 days.
What would you do with 5,000 extra hours of machine time?
Mar-Bal, Inc. experienced both immediate and long-term savings with IQMS' manufacturing ERP solution. Annually, Mar-Bal's total savings were $270,000 across its four plants as well as nearly 5,000 potential machine hours that were no longer lost to downtime for monthly physical inventory checks.
Mar-Bal found considerable savings when it installed IQMS' innovative RealTime™ Machine Monitoring system, tracking all aspects of part production as they occur. Manufacturing performance is optimized as RealTime™ allows Mar-Bal to monitor work center performance as it is happening and proactively address potential problems. Graphically, Mar-Bal can now see all of its presses during a shift and is able to see how jobs are running, how much scrap is being generated, if the cycle time is slow and if there is a problem that requires attention. With the RealTime™ interface, Mar-Bal saved 12 hours a day or $62,000 annually.
EnterpriseIQ's EDI program has been a huge asset to Mar-Bal, reducing order entry time and increasing customer service. Previously, because order information had to be entered manually into each customer portal, larger customers might receive daily release changes a half a day late, while now, 100 orders can be processed in 10 minutes. Inbound order processing through EDI saved eight hours a day, or $40,000 annually, and with the addition of outbound EDI, Mar-Bal automatically sends invoices and advanced shipping notices, saving four hours per day or $20,000 annually.
Improved warehouse management and inventory control visibility was another major area of savings for Mar-Bal. They can now look at the system and see exactly what is on hand and where it is. The time spent verifying inventory locations at all plants is now six hours less per day or $30,000 annually. IQMS' inventory control system provides the requisite accuracy so that full physical inventories are no longer needed on a monthly basis and Mar-Bal has moved them to once a year, saving 2,750 hours of labor or $53,000. Additionally, a complete monthly inventory check required the plant to shut down, resulting in lost production time for 90 machines. EnterpriseIQ was able to save nearly 5,000 potential machine hours that were previously lost to downtime for physical inventory.
Month-end was previously a two-week process at Mar-Bal, but now has gone down to only four days, a savings of $23,000 per year. Reporting capabilities improved dramatically for Mar-Bal with the hundreds of customizable reports that EnterpriseIQ provides, allowing Mar-Bal to measure areas inaccessible to them in the past. Advanced forecasting and budgeting tools allow Mar-Bal to accurately plan for sales and costs in the upcoming year based on projected client demand. Accurate reporting of global raw material purchases delivered Mar-Bal more negotiating power with volume purchasing, saving $30,000 per year.
Gaining the Critical Edge
Mar-Bal gains an edge over its competition with a better understanding of costing and profitability at both the micro and macro level. Detail-rich features in EnterpriseIQ allow for Mar-Bal to see precise production and labor costs so they can quickly and confidently send accurate quotes to customers. Through global material purchase reports, Mar-Bal's Corporate Procurement Department is able to negotiate for volume purchase price breaks, which translates into a better price for its customers.
EnterpriseIQ's RealTime™ Machine Monitoring also gives Mar-Bal an edge over the competition. The immediate, real-time relay of information through the EnterpriseIQ system allows employees to quickly respond to customers when a delivery date needs to be changed and/or items can ship sooner than expected. The scheduling module natively integrated with RealTime™ is very easy to use and can calculate updates to tens of thousands of orders in a matter of minutes.
In addition to the documented and visible benefits of EnterpriseIQ, Mar-Bal also noticed some bonus benefits that were not listed in the initial project plan. Cross functional awareness soon developed among its plant users shortly after launch. In the past, Mar-Bal's departments often operated in department "silos" due to the old system's lack of visibility, but with EnterpriseIQ, the seamless flow of information between modules and complete system visibility allows users to see the whole picture.
"We saw our employees not waiting for the conflict to occur, but taking proactive steps well before the conflict became a serious issue," said Bable. "A culture of continuous improvement, coupled with the capabilities EnterpriseIQ offers, gives us a distinct advantage over our competitors. We are able to process an order at less cost, more accurately and without increasing headcount."

Carmine Miranda (Cello)
Born: 1988 - Valencia, Carabobo, Venezuela
The Venezuelan/American cellist, Carmine Miranda, began his musical studies at the age of 7 at the Carabobo State Music Conservatory, where he studied his first years of Theory and Solfege, and finally graduated from the Private Institute of Musical Education or I.P.E.M. He studied cello with professors Luisa Fuentes, Valmore Nieves and William Molina, in the Latin-American Academy of Violoncello, and the Simon Bolivar Conservatory of Music (the institution that spawned the famous "El Sistema"). At the same time he was a member of the National Youth Orchestra and the Orchestra of Beethoven under the direction of maestro Giuseppe Sinoppoli. In the USA he has studied with Ross Harbaugh, at the University of Miami Florida, and at the same time was a member and music coach of the Gulliver Prep School String Ensemble, Orchestra and Vocal Ensemble, under the direction of Ron Castonguay. Currently he studies under the direction of cellist Yehuda Hanani at the University Of Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music where he obtained a Bachelors of Arts in music, Masters Degree and is a candidate for a Doctorate's degree. In Venezuela Carmine Miranda has performed recitals at the School of Lawyers hall of Venezuela, hall of the well known Venezuelan press El Carabobeño, the Pio Tamayo Library Hall and the Aula Magna Hall (one of the most important halls in Latin America). In the USA he has performed at Carnegie Hall, Bowdoin Music Festival, the Bach Annalia Festival in Cincinnati, Young People's Festival in Chatham New York and is on the artist's roster for the Close Encounters with Music Series in Great Barrington, New York, both under the direction of Yehuda Hanani, among others. Carmine Miranda participated for four consecutive years in the Florida All State Orchestra, making the principal chair of the cello section. At the same time he has participated in several music competitions as a soloist and chamber player winning several recognitions and awards at a national and international level. Among them include the Coral Gables Music Club award for best instrumentalist, won the first prize of the 2005 Alhambra Music Competition, National Prize for best soloist from the FMEA (Florida Music Educators Association), the 08-09 University of Cincinnati Cello Competition and a Distinguished Award from the 2012 IBLA international competition. Carmine Miranda has collaborated with recognized international artists such as Yehuda Hanani, Awadagin Pratt, Rodolfo Saglimbeni and performed as a soloist with several chamber ensembles and orchestras including the Caracas Municipal Symphony Orchestra. Recently, at the age of 22 Carmine recorded the Six Cello Suites (BWV 1007-1012) by J.S.Bach for the label Centaur Records and completed the USA premiere of Nikita Koshkin's L'istesso tempo composition for cello and guitar in 2013. In the past, Carmine Miranda expressed his dislike of digital splicing for classical recordings. His debut album had no digital splicing and was completely unedited. Music in Cincinnati's Mary Ellyn Hutton said of his style, "Miranda's approach is virtuosic and musically persuasive. Tempos tend to be brisk (if not pushed now and then), but he brings to bear interpretive insights - his term is "folkloric"—which make the set as a whole a delight.".

Women's Basketball Opens Regular Season Against St. Xavier
Nov. 6, 2013 UIC Game Notes
A LOOK AT ST. XAVIER UIC GAME NOTES LET THE GAMES BEGIN EXHIBITION VICTORY SCOUTING THE COUGARS Last year, SXU compiled a 25-7 overall record and finished second overall in the CCAC regular season standings with a 17-5 mark. The Cougars finished the regular season ranked No. 18 in the final NAIA Top 25 Poll and qualified for the second round of NAIA Division II National Championships. Head coach Bob Hallberg is in his 14th season at SXU and has led the Cougars to 11 straight NAIA National Tournaments. Hallberg was the head coach of the UIC men's basketball program for nine seasons (1987-96) and compiled a 134-128 overall record. HANNEMANN AND STORY EARN PRESEASON HONORS; UIC PICKED FORTH Both Hannemann and Story are coming off stellar years in 2012-13. Hannemann was voted Second Team All-League while Story was selected to the All-Newcomer squad. The duo combined to average nearly 30 points per game and led the Flames in scoring in 24 of their 29 regular season contests. Hannemann led the team in rebounding (6.9 rpg) and ranked second in scoring (13.6 ppg). Hannemann tallied 22 double-digit scoring performances and five 20-point outings. She shot a team-best .502 from the floor and ranked fifth in the Horizon League. Hannemann's 3.8 offensive rebounds per game ranked second in the conference. Story led the team in scoring and ranked sixth in the Horizon League at 15.6 points per game. She also tallied a 3.7 assists per game average, which led the team and ranked ninth in the conference. Story served as the conference's highest scoring newcomer and was one of just six players in the conference to finish the season with 11 20-point outings. BENDER IMPRESSES AS A FRESHMAN Amongst all returning League players, Bender ranked sixth and eighth in steals and assists, respectively. She was twice honored as the Horizon League Newcomer of the Week (Dec. 31 & Jan. 14). Bender recorded two 20-point efforts, at Loyola on Jan. 12 (20) and against Valparaiso on Jan. 19 (22). WALLACE GUARDS THE HOOP Wallace became the first UIC player in nearly four years (Jan. 14, 2009) to block five shots in one game with five swats against Indiana State on Dec. 7, 2012. Wallace carried a streak of 10 games where she managed at least one blocked shot (Dec. 1 - Jan. 9). She also shot a team-high .733 from the free throw line. KOBEL FROM DOWNTOWN Amongst all returning League players, Kobel ranked ninth in both threes per game (1.7) and three-point field goal percentage (.327). She posted 11 double-digit scoring performances and drained a three in all but five games during the entire 2012-13 season. Kobel needs 18 more made three-pointers to enter the program's Top 10. NEW TO THE SCENE Campbell spent one year with La Salle (2011-12) and ranked as the Atlantic 10's top freshman rebounder (7.6 rpg) and shot blocker (1.5 bpg). Zagorac, a 6-foot-3 power forward, will add considerable depth to UIC's already talented crop of frontcourt players. Emanuel-Carr, a 5-foot-10 guard, is a product of Barking Abbey - one of London's most prestigious basketball academies. Johnson comes to UIC after helping Louisburg cut down the nets at the NJCAA D-II National Championship last season. Parks was a four-sport letterwinner at Von Steuben High School in basketball, volleyball, softball and soccer. TWO NEW ASSISTANT COACHES Simpson guided Loyola to their first-ever Horizon League Championship game this past March. The Chicago native and graduate of Northwestern (1994) spent the last seven years at Loyola, including the final four seasons as head coach, where he compiled a record of 57-66 (.463). Sardin spent last season on the Mt. Olive College coaching staff. As an assistant coach at Mt. Olive, Sardin helped the Trojans compile an 18-12 record and an appearance in the NCAA Division II Championship, marking their second-ever postseason berth. STRONG SCHEDULE LIES AHEAD Ten of UIC's 29 games are against programs that advanced to a postseason tournament during the 2012-13 campaign. In addition to Green Bay (NCAA), the Flames play four teams that participated in the Women's National Invitation Tournament (WNIT) (Idaho State, Miami Ohio, Youngstown State and Butler) and two programs that competed in the Women's Basketball Invitational (WBI) (SIUE and Detroit). -UIC-
