2008 Ohio State
Jan. 5
2009 Fiesta Bowl
Texas 24 … Ohio State 21
The defensive battle turned into a heart-stopping thriller over the final few
minutes as Colt McCoy finished off a 78-yard drive in the final 1:42 with a
26-yard touchdown pass to Quan Cosby with :16 to play. Ohio State had taken the
lead on a 15-yard Dan Herron scoring run with 2:05 to play as part of a Buckeye
run of 15 straight fourth quarter points after a rough third quarter. OSU slowed
the game down in the first half on the way to a 6-3 lead, helped by an Anderson
Russell interception to stop a late UT drive, but the third quarter was all
Texas as McCoy ran for a 14-yard score and hit Cosby for a seven-yard touchdown
to cap off two long drives. Ohio State's final shot to score was stopped by a
Brian Orakpo sack and a broken up Hail Mary attempt.
Player of the Game:
Texas QB Colt McCoy completed 41-of-59 passes for 414
yards and two touchdowns with an interception, and he ran seven times for 27

Ohio State 42 …
Michigan 7
Ohio State came up with the largest margin of victory in the rivalry since 1968
as Beanie Wells tore off a 59-yard touchdown run late in the first quarter and
Brian Hartline caught a 53-yard touchdown pass for a 14-0 lead. Michigan came up
with a 14 play, 65-yard drive finishing up with a one-yard Brandon Minor
touchdown run late in the first half, but it was all Ohio State in the second
half as Dan Herron ran for touchdowns from 49 and two yards out, Brian Robiskie
caught an eight-yard touchdown pass, Hartline caught an 18-yard scoring pass
from Todd Boeckman. Ohio State outgained Michigan 416 yards to 198.
Player of the game:
Ohio State RB Beanie Wells ran 15 times for 134 yards
and a touchdown

Rushing: Brandon Minor, 14-67, 1 TD. Receiving: Martavious Odoms,
Ohio State - Passing: Terrelle Pryor, 5-13, 120 yds, 2 TD,
Rushing: Chris Wells, 15-134, 1 TD. Receiving: Brian Hartline,
Whoopty doo. What does it all mean, Basil? ... Don't just dismiss
the blowout win over Michigan as an obvious victory that was supposed to happen.
This win showed just how huge the gap is between the two programs. It was wide
before, and now it's a Grand Canyon with no hope in the foreseeable future of it
closing up too much. However, even with the blowout win, don't ignore the
problems on the defensive line in the first half. Michigan was able to shove the
OSU front four around, but nothing came of it because the skill players couldn't
do anything. It didn't hurt to have James Laurinaitis and the back seven clean
up everything.
Nov. 15
State 30 … Illinois 20
Ohio State cranked out 305 yards of rushing offense with Beanie
Wells and Terrelle Pryor each going over the 100-yard mark. Pryor
started out the scoring with a one-yard run in the first quarter,
but Illinois responded with a brilliant fingertip catch from Jeff
Cumberland from seven yards out. The Buckeyes responded with the
next 16 points helped by a three-yard Wells run and 20-yard catch
from Dane Sanzenbacher. Illinois tried to come back with two field
goals late in the first half, but Dan Herron put it away for OSU
early in the second on a 12-yard run.
Player of the game:
Ohio State RB Beanie Wells ran 24 times
for 143 yards and a touchdown
Stat Leaders: Illinois - Passing: Juice
Williams, 17-26, 192 yds, 2 TD, 1 INT

Ohio State - Passing: Terrelle Pryor, 6-10, 49
yds, 1 TD
Rushing: Chris Wells, 24-143, 1 TD. Receiving: Dan
Sanzenbacher, 2-22, 1 TD
Whoopty doo. What does it all mean, Basil? ... Forget
about the passing game, Ohio State has abandoned it completely for a
punishing ground attack. Against Illinois, Beanie Wells ran with
speed, power, and agility as he tore off tough run after tough run,
while Terrelle Pryor did his part with his legs, and didn't make
mistakes with his arm. The run defense struggled a bit with the
Illinois running game, against both the quarterbacks and RB Daniel
Dufrene, but there weren't many problems as the weather got worse.
Now the Buckeyes are in a position to go to the Rose Bowl needing to
beat Michigan and hope for Michigan State to beat Penn State.
Nov. 8
State 45 … Northwestern 10
Ohio State got a huge day out of its backfield as Chris Wells ran
for a two-yard score and a 55-yard dash in the first half, while QB
Terrelle Pryor threw three touchdown passes highlighted by a
34-yarder to Brian Robiskie in the fourth. Northwestern tied it at
seven with a one-yard Mike Kafka scoring run, but that would be it
outside of a 25-yard field goal.
Player of the game:
Ohio State RB Beanie Wells ran 28 times
for 140 yards and two touchdowns
Stat Leaders: Northwestern - Passing: Mike
Kafka, 18-27, 177 yds, 1 INT
Rushing: Mike Kafka, 29-83, 1 TD. Receiving: Eric
Peterman, 6-78
Ohio State - Passing: Terrelle Pryor, 9-14, 197
yds, 3 TD
Rushing: Chris Wells, 28-140, 2 TD. Receiving: Brian
Robiskie, 3-58, 2 TD
Whoopty doo. What does it all mean, Basil? ... After
the Penn State game and with Terrelle Pryor coming up with one of
his better games, Ohio State got back on track in a big way against
Northwestern. The Wildcats were one dimensional thanks to injuries,
and Ohio State made them pay. James Laurinaitis had a fantastic game
spying on NU QB Mike Kafka, while getting in on seemingly every
play. With Penn State losing to Iowa, the Rose Bowl is still a
possibility with a little help and by winning out.
Oct. 25
Penn State
13 … Ohio State 6
In a tough defensive battle, Penn State replaced Daryll Clark late
in the fourth quarter with Pat Devlin, who ran for a one-yard
touchdown with just over six minutes to go, with the drive sparked
by a Terrelle Pryor fumble, to give the Nittany Lions the lead, and
Kevin Kelly made it a seven point margin with a 35-yard field goal.
Ohio State still had a chance in the final moments, but Pryor, who
threw for a career-high 226 yards, was picked off in the end zone by
Lydell Sargeant. The Buckeyes managed just two Aaron Pettrey field
goals, but outgained the Nittany Lions 287 yards to 281.
Player of the game:
Penn State LB Navorro Bowman made 10
tackles, a tackle for loss, broke up a pass and recovered a fumble.
Stat Leaders: Ohio State - Passing: Terrelle
Pryor, 16-25, 226 yds, 1 INT
Rushing: Chris Wells, 22-55. Receiving: Dane
Sanzenbacher, 6-82
Penn State - Passing: Daryll Clark, 12-20, 121
Rushing: Evan Royster, 19-77. Receiving: Evan Royster,
Whoopty doo. What does it all mean, Basil? ... Going
conservative proved to be a killer. The Buckeyes needed to loosen up
the Penn State defense a little bit, but didn't. The offensive line,
especially the tackles, had a nightmare of a time with Penn State's
speed, which is why Terrelle Pryor had to stay in and Todd Boeckman
had to stay on the bench, but the receivers had to get more
involved. That'll be the problem for the rest of the year with Pryor
trying to figure out what he's doing. Now the Rose Bowl is all but
gone, but that doesn't mean a BCS bowl is out of the picture.
Winning out impressively is a must.
Oct. 18
Ohio State
45 … Michigan State 7
Ohio State forced five turnovers and came up with three sacks as the
defense dominated the MSU offense, allowing just a three-yard
Charlie Gantt touchdown catch in the third quarter, while the
offense did its part on the way to a 28-0 start. Beanie Wells ran
for two short scores and Terrelle Pryor ripped off an 18-yard
touchdown dash and threw a seven-yard scoring pass to Brian Robiskie
in the first half, and then the D took over. Thaddeus Gibson took a
fumble 69 yards for a touchdown and Jermale Hines scooped up a
fumble for a 48-yard touchdown with 15 seconds to play.
Player of the game:
Ohio State RB Beanie Wells ran 31 times
for 140 yards and two touchdowns
Stat Leaders: Michigan State - Passing: Kirk
Cousins, 18-25, 161 yds, 1 TD, 1 INT
Rushing: Javon Ringer, 16-67. Receiving: Blair White,
Ohio State - Passing: Terrelle Pryor, 7-11, 116
yds, 1 TD
Rushing: Beanie Wells, 31-140, 2 TD. Receiving:
Brandon Smith, 3-37
Whoopty doo. What does it all mean, Basil? ... Will
the dominant performance over Michigan State be the game that
kickstarts Ohio State on a run to yet another national title game?
That's getting way ahead of the game, but
for now, it was the sort of game the team had been missing for a
while. The offense worked, the defense stuffed Javon Ringer, and
everyone was moving around with a better energy and apparent
confidence. At least that's how the team looked compared to the way
it played last week against Purdue.
Oct. 11
Ohio State
16 … Purdue 3
The Ohio State offense was awful, but the defense made up for it.
Purdue only managed three points on a 53-yard Carson Wiggs field
goal, and it didn't threaten for a touchdown until the final
moments. The Buckeyes got a blocked point for a touchdown to start
off the scoring early, and Ryan Pertorius added two short field
goals to go along with Aaron Pettrey's 49-yarder.
Player of the game:
Ohio State LB James Laurinaitis made ten
tackles and a tackle for loss
Stat Leaders: Purdue - Passing: Curtis Painter,
32-51, 228 yds, 1 INT
Rushing: Kory Sheets, 20-67. Receiving: Greg Orton,
Ohio State - Passing: Terrelle Pryor, 10-14, 97
Rushing: Beanie Wells, 22-94. Receiving: DeVier Posey,
Whoopty doo. What does it all mean, Basil? ... If Ohio
State can wake up, it'll notice that the chance is there to rocket
back up the rankings in a big hurry if it can just start to play
better. The offense didn't have anywhere near the pop in the running
game it showed at times against Wisconsin, while Brian Hartline and
Brian Robiskie have fallen off the map ever since Terrelle Pryor
took over the reigns. The Buckeyes were still able to come up with
an easy double-digit win over Purdue, but it's going to take a whole
lot more to get by Michigan State and Penn State over the next two
Oct. 4
Ohio State 20 … Wisconsin 17
Terrelle Pryor ran the option for an 11-yard touchdown with 1:08 to
play, and Malcolm Jenkins picked off a pass to snuff out the final
Badger drive, as Ohio State came up with a tough, hard-fought win.
The Buckeyes got off to a hot start as Beanie Wells blew through the
Badger D for a 33-yard touchdown in the first quarter, but Wisconsin
rebounded with a nine-yard Mickey Turner touchdown catch and a
20-yard Philip Welch field goal as time expired in the first half. A
two-yard P.J. Hill touchdown blast with 6:31 to play gave UW the
late lead, but Pryor was nearly perfect on a 12-play, 80-yard drive
to pull off the win. In the nearly dead-even game, OSU outgained the
Badgers 327 yards to 326.
Player of the game: Ohio State RB Chris Wells ran 22 times
for 168 yards and a touchdown
Stat Leaders: Ohio State - Passing: Terrelle
Pryor, 13-19, 144 yds, 1 INT
Rushing: Chris Wells, 22-168, 1 TD. Receiving: Brian
Hartline, 3-57
Wisconsin - Passing: Allan Evridge, 13-25, 1 TD, 1
Rushing: John Clay, 10-69. Receiving: Travis Beckum, 6-60
Whoopty doo. What does it all mean,
Basil? ... Welcome to the Terrelle Pryor era. He was
calm, cool and confident in a nasty environment to beat a great
Wisconsin team. Just as impressive was Beanie Wells, who showed the
combination of speed, power, and skill that everyone's been waiting
for. Beating Minnesota was nice, but this was the game that should
put Ohio State's season back on the map. However, the defensive
tackles have to be far better. When push came to shove, literally,
the Badgers shoved around the Buckeyes late.
Sept. 27
Ohio State
34 ... Minnesota
Beanie Wells ran for 106 yards and Terrelle Pryor tore off a 33-yard
touchdown run and added a one-yard score on the way to a 34-6 Ohio
State lead. Minnesota mounted a mini-comeback with a three-yard
Ralph Spry touchdown run and a 22-yard Da'Jon McKnight touchdown
catch in the final 8:24, but it was way too little, too late. Brian
Robiskie caught two touchdown passes for the Buckeyes, one from
Pryor from eight yards out and one from Todd Boeckman from 31 yards
Player of the game:
Ohio State QB
Terrelle Pryor completed 8-of-13 passes for 70 yards and a touchdowns, and ran

Ohio State - Passing: Terrelle Pryor, 8-13, 70 yds, 1 TD
Rushing: Chris Wells, 14-106. Receiving:
Brian Robiskie,
Whoopty doo. What does it all mean, Basil? ... The Ohio State
offense took on a whole different look with Beanie Wells and
Terrelle Pryor running the ball. Granted, Minnesota isn't USC, but
for the first time this year, the offense started to moved the ball
on a consistent basis with the running game suddenly getting more of
a pop. It would've been nice if the defense had dropped the hammer
in the fourth quarter and made it an ugly blowout for style points,
but it was still a good, easy win before going to Wisconsin.
Sept. 20
Ohio State 28 ... Troy 10
Terrelle Pryor got the start, and he didn't disappoint throwing four
touchdown passes including two to Brian Hartline from 39 and 16
yards away. Even so, the Buckeyes were a bit sluggish, up only 14-10
at halftime, but two Pryor fourth quarter touchdown passes in the
fourth quarter ended any drama. Troy got its touchdown on a 45-yard
catch fro Jerrell Jernigan late in the second quarter, but it
outpassed Ohio State 218 yards to 139.
Player of the game:
Ohio State QB Terrelle Pryor went 10-of-16 for 139 yards, four
touchdowns and an interception, adding 66 yards rushing on 14
Stat Leaders: Troy - Passing: Jamie Hampton,
30-43, 218 yds, 1 TD, 2 INT
Rushing: DuJuan Harris, 11-54. Receiving: Jerrell
Jernigan, 8-66, 1 TD
Ohio State - Passing: Terrelle Pryor, 10-16, 139
yds, 4 TDs, 1 INT
Rushing: Dan Herron, 20-94. Receiving: Brian
Hartline, 2-55, 2 TDs
Whoopty doo. What does it all mean, Basil? ... Talk about a
downer, Ohio State played in front of a less-than-capacity crowd
against Troy, and the team played a bit sluggish even with Terrelle
Pryor running the offense. Pryor wasn't asked to do anything tough,
but he was effective with his arm and his legs, rushing for 66
yards. Todd Boeckman never got a chance to get into a groove,
throwing only one pass and missing. Basically, the program has to
wake up. The Big Ten season starts next week against Minnesota, with
a date at Wisconsin to follow. The Rose Bowl is hardly a bad second
prize now that dreams of a national title are gone, but that's not
happening if the team keeps playing like this.
Sept. 13
35 ... Ohio State
Ohio State appeared ready to mount a challenge with an early 3-0
lead and a touchdown that got called back on a penalty, but USC got
on a roll and was never threatened as Mark Sanchez threw four
touchdown passes and Rey Maualuga picked off a pass for a 48-yard
score. Sanchez connected with Stanley Havilii on a 35-yard pass for
the first score, and found Blake Ayles for a one-yard touchdown
early in the second. Passes from 24 and 17 yards out to Damian
Williams put the game well out of reach. Ohio State managed just 207
yards of total offense, committed 10 penalties for 78 yards, and
turned the ball over three times.
Player of the game:
USC DE Kyle Moore made eight tackles, one
sack, two tackles for loss and recovered a fumble
Stat Leaders: USC - Passing: Mark Sanchez, 17-28, 172 yds,
Rushing: Joe McKnight, 12-105. Receiving: Stanley Havili, 5-49, 1
Ohio State - Passing: Todd Boeckman, 14-21, 84
yds, 2 INT
Rushing: Dan Herron, 11-51. Receiving: Ray Small, 6-30
Whoopty doo. What does it all mean, Basil? ... The Buckeye lines
got destroyed by the USC lines. There were positive signs early on
with good, crisp drives, but a whole bunch of bad luck with
penalties, and then the team went into a funk once USC started
producing. Todd Boeckman had an awful game with too many poor
decisions, but he was under constant pressure. While the game got
out of hand and not much could've been done to change it, Jim
Tressel and the coaching staff might have to wonder why they didn't
go with Terrelle Pryor more in the first half when he was
effectively tearing off yards. Now the team has to regroup, get by
Troy and Minnesota, and be ready for a showdown at Wisconsin. The
Buckeyes could still play USC again in the Rose Bowl.
Sept. 6
Ohio State 26 ... Ohio 14
Ohio State struggled to get the 800th win in the program's history
as Brandon Saine ran for a two-yard score in the fourth quarter for
the lead and Ray Small put it away with a 69-yard punt return for a
score. The Bobcats took a 14-6 lead midway through the third on a
fumble recovery for a score, but the offense turned it over five
times and finished with just 254 yards. Ohio State only managed 272
yards of total offense with the rushing tandem of Dan Herron and
Maurice Wells combining for 98 yards and a touchdown in place of the
injured Beanie Wells.
Player of the game:
Ohio State LB James Laurinaitis had a team-high
nine tackles, an interception, and a broken up pass.
Stat Leaders: Ohio - Passing: Boo Jackson, 9-25, 86 yds, 3
Rushing: Donte Harden, 11-63, 1 TD. Receiving: Chris Garrett, 3-2
- Passing: Todd Boeckman, 16-26, 110 yds
Dan Herron, 12-50, 1 TD. Receiving: Ray Small, 5-27
Whoopty doo. What does it all mean, Basil? ... Uh, was that really
what Ohio State could come up with against Ohio? Chalk it up to not
having Beanie Wells, and the lookahead to USC factor certainly had
to come into play, but the offense didn't have a spark and the
defense, despite giving up just 254 yards and forcing five
turnovers, had problems early on with the spread. The big problem
going into the showdown with the Trojans? The offensive line. It
gave up three sacks and didn't dominate for the ground game like it
needed to. OSU has good backs; they simply didn't have enough room
most of the time.
Aug. 30
Ohio State 43 ...
Youngstown State 0
Everything was perfect for Ohio State in the blowout win except for an injury to
star RB Chris Wells. Beanie started off the game with a 43-yard scoring run on
the first drive, but he later went down with a foot injury after rushing for 111
yards on 13 carries. Ryan Pretorius kicked four field goals before Todd Boeckman
threw two touchdown passes hitting DeVier Posey on a 25-yarder and Brian
Robiskie from 31 yards out. Terrelle Pryor came in and was fantastic completing
four of six passes for 35 yards and running nine times for 52 yards and a score.
Youngstown State was held to -11 rushing yards.
Player of the game:
Ohio State RB Chris Wells ran 13 times for 111 yards and a touchdown and caught
three passes for ten yards
Stat Leaders: Youngstown State - Passing: Todd Rowan, 8-13,
46 yds
Rushing: Dana Brown, 5-11. Receiving: Dominique Barnes, 3-33
Ohio State - Passing: Todd Boeckman, 13-19, 187 yds, 2 TD
Rushing: Chris Wells, 13-111, 1 TD. Receiving: DeVier Posey, 4-47,
Whoopty doo. What does it all mean, Basil? ... Ohio State was
nearly perfect against Youngstown State with as good a game as it could've asked
for in the season opener. However, if the injury to Beanie Wells turns out to be
serious in any way,
it'll obviously be a big blow with USC coming up in two weeks. Even if all turns
out fine, the injury in the opener should mean more work for the
deep stable of backs as well as the passing game. On the plus side, Terrelle
Pryor looked like the real deal getting his feet wet as he showed off his
tremendous rushing ability and good passing touch. He wasn't asked to do too
much, but he gave Buckeye fans a glimpse of how good he can be. A bit under the
radar was the play of the run defense. It might have just been Youngstown State,
but the Buckeye defense front didn't allow a thing holding the Penguins to -11
2008 Early Lookahead
Why to get excited: Don't let the haters (sorry for using that
term, but it fits) ruin the facts; this really might be the best team in
America going into 2008. DE Vernon Gholston is gone, but the return of
LB James Laurinaitis and CB Malcolm Jenkins, when they would've been
drafted in the top 15 had they left early, all of a sudden means the
defense should be among the best in the nation again. The offense gets
nine starters back including all the top players other than OT Kirk
Barton. If that wasn't enough, PK Ryan Pretorius and P A.J. Trapasso
might be the best kicking combo around.
Why to be grouchy:
Fine, so you still don't want the Buckeyes anywhere near your national
championship after the way the last two seasons ended. If they get
there, they'll have certainly earned it more than they did in 2007 with
road games at USC, Wisconsin and Illinois. The overall speed,
athleticism, and NFL talent is in place. So why the problems against
Florida and LSU? OSU was every bit as good as those two, so the coaching
staff has to figure out what's going wrong at the highest of the high
The number one thing to work on is: The psyche. If the team gets
its head on straight, this could be a jaw-dropping dominator from the
start. However, you don't take the beating in two straight title games,
in the press, and in the court of public opinion, without having a sense
of self-doubt start to creep in. Having a glass is half-full attitude,
the team played for the national title in three of the past six years.
Jim Tressel and the boys must be doing something right.
Biggest offensive loss: OT Kirk Barton
Biggest defensive loss:
DE Vernon
Best returning offensive player: RB Beanie Wells, Jr.
Best returning defensive player: LB James Laurinaitis, Sr. & CB
Malcolm Jenkins, Sr.
2007 Recap
2007 Recap:
Those ripping into the Buckeyes for losing another national
championship game to an SEC team forget that this was supposed to be
a down year for the school. As power programs are prone to do, Ohio
State rebuilt on the fly in 2007, climbing to No. 1 in the country
and winning another Big Ten title with an improbable 10-0 start. RB
Chris Wells was better than advertised, and QB Todd Boeckman did a
nice job of succeeding Troy Smith, but it was the Buckeye D that
paved the way, topping the national charts in both total defense and
scoring defense.
Offensive Player of the Year: RB Chris Wells
Defensive Player of the Year: LB James Laurinaitis
Biggest Surprise: Boeckman. Yeah, he threw a few too many
picks down the stretch, but Boeckman ended all the hand-wringing
over, and played much better than expected in his first season
replacing a Heisman winner. Built like a SAM linebacker with a huge
arm, he's liable to make his own push for individual honors and an
NFL contract in 2008 after throwing 25 touchdown passes in his
Biggest Disappointment: Even more than the upset loss at home
to Illinois, getting exposed by LSU in New Orleans won't go away
anytime soon. Carrying the tattered Big Ten banner, and on a
mission to erase the memory of last year's collapse to Florida, Ohio
State just couldn't keep pace with the Tigers after opening up an
early 10-0 lead.
Looking Ahead: Take 3, anyone? The Buckeyes will again be
loaded with enough talent on both sides of the ball to be playing
for a national championship next January. The first huge test for
the program comes in September, when Ohio State travels to the
Coliseum to face USC.

Food irradiation is a method of treating food in order to make it safer to eat and have a longer shelf life. This process is not very different from other treatments such as pesticide application, canning, freezing and drying. The end result is that the growth of disease-causing microorganisms or those that cause spoilage are slowed or are eliminated altogether. This makes food safer and also keeps it fresh longer.
Food Irradiation has been scientifically proven to improve the quality and safety of the global food supply by reducing spoilage and eliminating pests and bacteria
On the moon and in space shuttles, astronauts have preferred food sterilized with radiation over all other types of preserved foods. This process used radiation to preserve prepackaged food without refrigeration or freezing. It destroys all the micro-organisms that normally cause spoilage.
Using lower does of ionizing radiation can lengthen the refrigerated life of fresh fish and chicken for several weeks. Strawberries treated this way can last for about 30 days. Sealed, treated foods can stay on your shelf at room temperature for years, like canned foods.
The process does not make food radioactive, and irradiated foods look and taste just like the fresh, raw food.
Common uses of food irradiation in the U.S.
The United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization estimates that 25 percent of the world's food supply is lost every year to pests and bacteria while people die of hunger. Hundreds of millions of people worldwide are affected by diseases caused by contaminated food. Irradiation using radioisotopes has proved effective in controlling pathogenic bacteria and parasites in food products such as meat, poultry, fruits and vegetables, and seafood and spices. The process is being utilized in many countries and its use is expanding globally.
No. Irradiation by gamma rays, X-rays and accelerated electrons under controlled conditions does not make food radioactive. Just as the airport luggage scanner doesn't make your suitcase radioactive, this process is not capable of inducing radioactivity in any material, including food.
Special labels are required on irradiated foods, including the international symbol of irradiation, known as a "radura", and a statement indicating that the food was treated with irradiation.
No. Neither irradiation nor any other food treatment can reverse the spoilage process and make bad food good. If food already looks, tastes or smells bad – signs of spoilage – before irradiation, it cannot be "saved" by any treatment including irradiation.
Presently over 40 countries have approved applications to irradiate approximately 40 different foods. These include such items as fruits, vegetables, spices, grains, seafood, meat and poultry. More than half a million tons of food is now irradiated throughout the world on a yearly basis. Although this amount represents only a fraction of the food consumed annually, it is constantly growing. This trend is due to three main factors:
1. Increasing concerns over food borne diseases
Food borne diseases pose a widespread threat to human health and they are an important cause of reduced economic productivity. Studies by the US Center for Disease Control in 1999 estimated that food borne diseases cause approximately 76 million illnesses, 325,000 hospitalizations, and 5,000 deaths in the United States each year. Economic losses associated with such food borne diseases are high-estimated between US $6.5 billion and $33 billion.
2. High food losses from infestation, contamination and spoilage.
The FAO has estimated that about 25% of all worldwide food production is lost after harvesting to insects, bacteria and spoilage. Economic losses due to insects and microbes have been estimated to fall between $5 and $17 billion yearly in the US alone. Food irradiation can help reduce these losses and can also reduce our dependence on chemical pesticides, some of which are extremely harmful to the environment (e.g. methyl bromide).
3. Growing international trade in food products.
As our economies become more global, food products must meet high standards of quality and quarantine in order to move across borders. Irradiation is an important tool in the fight to prevent the spread of deleterious insects and microorganisms.
Food irradiation kills microbes, but does not affect food products
The food product does not change when treated with food irradiation. Heat sterilization processes damage both the food and the microbe. Cold sterilization selectively targets the microbe, or pathogen. This is a big advantage to the food industry and consumer. Eliminating the offending microbe while preventing any changes to the food composition is a huge benefit to the food industry and to the consumer.
The process involves exposing the food, either packaged or in bulk, to carefully controlled amounts of ionizing radiation for a specific time to achieve certain desirable objectives. When microbes present in the food are irradiated, the energy from the radiation breaks the bonds in the DNA molecules, causing defects in the genetic instructions. Unless this damage can be repaired, the organism will die or will be unable to reproduce. It matters if the food is frozen or fresh, because it takes larger radiation dose to kill microbes in frozen foods. The effectiveness of the process depends also on the organism's sensitivity to irradiation, on the rate at which it can repair damaged DNA, and especially on the amount of DNA in the target organism:
If the food still has living cells, they will be damaged or killed just as microbes are. This is a useful effect: it can be used to prolong the shelf life of fruits and vegetables because it inhibits sprouting and delays ripening.
Yes, the foods are not changed in nutritional value and they don't become dangerous as a result of irradiation. At irradiation levels approved for use on foods, levels of the vitamin thiamine are slightly reduced, but not enough to result in vitamin deficiency. There are no other significant changes in the amino acid, fatty acid, or vitamin content of food. In fact, the changes induced by irradiation are so minimal that it is not easy to determine whether or not a food has been irradiated. A big advantage of irradiated food, is that it is a cold process: the food is still essentially "raw", because it hasn't undergone any thermal process.
A variety of foods have been approved for irradiation in the United States, for several different purposes. For meats, separate approval is required both from the FDA and the USDA. However, irradiated foods are not widely available yet. Some stores have sold irradiated fruits and vegetables since the early 1990s. Irradiated poultry is available in some grocery stores—mostly small, independent markets— and on menus of a few restaurants. On the other hand, most spices sold wholesale in this country are irradiated, which eliminates the need for chemical fumigation to control pests. American astronauts have eaten irradiated foods in space since the early 1970s. Patients with weakened immune systems are sometimes fed irradiated foods to reduce the chance of a life-threatening infection. In addition, irradiation is widely used to sterilize a variety of medical and household products, such as joint implants, band-aids, baby pacifiers, cosmetic ingredients, wine and bottle corks, and food packaging materials.
No. Irradiation is equivalent to pasteurization for solid foods, but it is not the same as sterilization. Food irradiation can be an important tool in the war against illness and death from food borne diseases. It is not a substitute for comprehensive food safety programs throughout the food distribution system. Nor is food irradiation a substitute for good food-handling practices in the home: irradiated foods need to be stored, handled and cooked in the same way as non-irradiated foods.
Yes, any food processing method will add cost. Canning, freezing, pasteurization, refrigeration, fumigation, and irradiation will add cost to the food. These treatments will also bring benefits to consumers in terms of availability and quantity, storage life, convenience, and improved hygiene of the food. The increase in price for irradiated fruits and vegetables is estimated at 2 to 3 cents per pound. Irradiated poultry and meat products are expected to cost 3 to 5 cents a pound more than non-irradiated meat. The price is likely to decline as irradiated foods become more widely available.
The effectiveness of the treatment in eliminating pathogens will be regulated as a food safety process, by either the USDA or the FDA, often in concert with State authorities, just as is the case now for milk pasteurization or retort canning. The safety of operations of irradiation facilities is regulated separately. This requires extensive worker training, supervision, and regulatory oversight. Facilities using radioactive sources are regulated by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC). To be licensed, the facility must have been designed with multiple fail-safe measures, and must establish extensive and well documented safety procedures, and worker training. The safe transport of the radioactive sources is regulated by the Department of Transportation.
No. It is impossible for a "meltdown" to occur in a gamma irradiator or for the radiation source to explode. The source of radiation used at irradiators cannot start a fission chain reaction, and it does not emit neutrons that could activate materials. The walls of the irradiation cell through which the food passes, the machinery inside the cell, and the product being processed cannot become radioactive. No radioactivity is released into the environment.
No. The food irradiation facilities themselves do not become radioactive, and do not create radioactive waste. Cobalt 60 is manufactured in a commercial nuclear reactor, by exposing non-radioactive cobalt to intense radiation in the reactor core. The cobalt sources used in irradiation facilities decay by 50% in five years, and therefore require periodic replacement. The sources are removed from the irradiator when the radioactivity falls to a low level, usually between 6% and 12% of the initial level (this takes 16 to 21 years for cobalt-60). The small radioactive cobalt "pencils" are shipped back to the original nuclear reactor, where they can be reactivated for further use. The shipment occurs in special hardened steel canisters that have been designed and tested to survive crashes without breaking. Cobalt is a solid metal, and even if somehow something should break, it will not spread through the environment. Cobalt 60 may also be disposed of as a radioactive waste. Given its relatively short half life (5 years) and its stable metallic form, the material is not considered to be a problematic waste.

NEW ORLEANS -- A new, amended complaint in a lawsuit in federal court accuses an attorney on the Northshore of engaging in a criminal enterprise. The lawsuit alleges that the one-time town attorney of Abita Springs, William Magee, carried out a pattern of racketeering activity to take property away from other people.
Butch and Nicole Martin allege that prominent Northshore attorney William Magee and others formed an enterprise and used fraud to acquire real estate that belonged to other people.
They say the deed to their property is 'defective' because in 2001, years before they bought it, Magee and others took a series of steps to take the property away from the rightful owners.
'I say it's stolen property,' Butch Martin said. 'No question about it. You know the original heirs were supposed to get this property basically in a will. And then along comes William Magee and takes the property illegally.'
In a lawsuit they have filed in federal court, the Martins allege that Magee and his associates acquired a series of properties illegally in St. Tammany parish.
According to the lawsuit, 'Magee and the enterprise created and carried out a pattern of racketeering activity in fraudulently acquiring possession of these properties.'
'When it's happening over and over again, there's no mistake, this is intentional. This is theft. This is wrong. And it needs to stop,' Butch Martin said.
Their lawsuit alleges this activity took place over a period of 14 years.
'I mean not only did he steal property from the rightful owners, but he's put us in the middle,' said Nicole Martin.
Through his attorney, Magee has declined comment because the case is in litigation. But in court documents filed in response to allegation involving he Martin property, Magee's attorney said 'there is no evidence' that the court judgments giving Magee ownership 'were improper, illegal, or improperly obtained.'
Among those named as defendants in the complaint: Judge Mary Devereux of the 22nd Judicial District Court in St. Tammany.
The lawsuit says Devereux was a law partner of Magee and participated in activities that constituted a pattern of racketeering.

Monkeying around to improve organ transplantation
Organ transplantation is accompanied by nonspecific immune suppression therapy to prevent T cell-mediated rejection. These immunosuppressants can cause infection, hypertension, cancer, and other undesirable side effects. Therefore, specific suppression of the T cells that attack the transplanted organ is needed.
It was known that anergic T cells (immune T cells that do not respond to antigen stimulation) generated in an artificial environment outside the living organism have immunosuppressive activity in vitro. Now in a study appearing online on June 9 in advance of the print publication of the July 1 print issue of the Journal of Clinical Investigation, Hisashi Bashuda and colleagues from Juntendo University investigate whether this approach can induce indefinite organ allograft survival in vivo, in six rhesus monkeys.
The authors stimulate recipient T cells from the monkeys with donor cells under conditions associated with the development of T cell anergy. Reinfusion of these cells into the recipient after kidney transplantation leads to very prolonged �880 days� and perhaps even indefinite graft survival in three long-surviving animals without administration of additional immunosuppressive agents. This study shows for the first time that anergic T cells generated ex vivo suppress renal allograft rejection in non-human primates. This may be an approach that could be used in human transplant trials.

Ihh can hone the bone
Normal growth and development of the bones rely on coordination among cartilage cell (chondrocyte) mass regulation and cartilage structure establishment. Parathyroid hormone-related protein (PTHrP) and Indian hedgehog (Ihh) are important for the precise regulation of cartilage development, but the mechanisms that guide chondrocytes during bone formation were not well understood.
In a study appearing online on June 9 in advance of the print publication of the July 1 print issue of the Journal of Clinical Investigation, Henry Kronenberg and colleagues from Massachusetts General Hospital examine the control of early chondrocyte differentiation by Ihh and the physiological role of this differentiation step in regulating chondrocyte mass and new bone composition.
The researchers analyze mice carrying multiple genetic modifications, in which expression of PTHrP, PTHrP receptor and Ihh, or combinations of these molecules were modified. Their analysis reveals that Ihh stimulates early chondrocyte differentiation, which in turn regulates the mass of proliferating chondrocytes independently of the action of PTHrP. These data provide a new model of bone growth in which Ihh, independent of any changes in PTHrP controls the conversion of early chondrocytes to more rapidly proliferating cells in the growing bones during fetal development.

Learning lessons in lupus
T cells are hyperactive, aberrant, or both in lupus. Sle3 is a lupus susceptibility locus on murine chromosome 7 that is associated with spontaneous immune T cell hyperactivity and autoreactivity when placed into B6 mice with normal genetic backgrounds. In a study appearing online on June 9 in advance of the print publication of the July 1 print issue of the Journal of Clinical Investigation, Chandra Mohan and colleagues from UT Southwestern Medical school analyze the means by which Sle3 affects the phenotype of the B6.Sle3 congenics in which there is T cell hyperactivity, elevated CD4:CD8 ratios, and anti-nuclear antibodies.
The researchers demonstrate that these B6.Sle3 congenic mice exhibit heightened T cell expansion in vitro upon antigen challenge, mediated by hyperstimulated antigen presenting cells. The congenic-derived dendritic cells (DC) and macrophages are more mature/activated, and induce superior co-stimulation to T cells in vitro compared to controls. Finally, adoptive transfer of B6.Sle3-derived DCs into B6 increases the ratio of CD4:CD8 and serum anti-nuclear antibodies. That Sle3 causes aberrant activation of antigen-presenting cells is a novel observation that, and this trigger might account for the hyperactivity of T cells and break in self-tolerance seen in lupus. This new information has important implications towards our understanding of autoimmune disease, and how to manage it clinically.

The brain is at the heart of a chromosomal deletion disorder
Williams Syndrome (WS) is a disease caused by a chromosomal deletion and is characterized by several neural and behavioral abnormalities. There have been indications that the hippocampus in the brain is involved in WS but no human data were available. This was largely because most individuals with WS have severe mental retardation, precluding use of demanding tasks and comparison to matched normal controls.
In a study appearing online on June 9 in advance of the print publication of the July 1 print issue of the Journal of Clinical Investigation, Andreas Meyer-Lindenberg and colleagues from the NIMH addressed this problem by studying a unique group of internationally recruited, high-functioning participants with WS. The scientists show clear metabolic, functional and structural impairment of the hippocampal formation and other subtle structural changes in WS patients using a combination of four neuroimaging techniques. These results clarify a biological mechanism for WS and advance our understanding of the genetic and physiological basis of this disease.

A new role for NO in blood vessel maturation
Angiogenesis, the formation of new blood vessels from existing ones, is involved in many physiological and pathological processes. However, despite a growing list of molecules that regulate vessel growth, basic mechanistic insight into vessel maturation remained unclear. In a study appearing online on June 9 in advance of the print publication of the July 1 print issue of the Journal of Clinical Investigation, Dai Fukumura and colleagues from Harvard Medical School provide evidence that nitric oxide (NO) mediates vessel maturation. The authors show that NO recruits cells to the vessels, facilitates branching, and stabilizes the new vasculature. These data have broad implications for the areas of vascular biology, cancer biology, and regenerative medicine.

Prompting pregnancy without gonadal LHR
Two gonadotropic hormones called leutinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) control normal fertility. LH can bind to receptors located in the gonads, these receptors (LHR) are also found in other tissues including the brain, uterus, cervix, and more. In a study appearing online on June 9 in advance of the print publication of the July 1 print issue of the Journal of Clinical Investigation, Tomi Pakarainen and colleagues from University of Turku address the long-standing question of the role of non-gonadal LHR in reproductive function. The authors transplant normal ovarian tissue into mice lacking LHR and examine reproductive functioning: fertility, pregnancy, litter size, parturition, and lactation. The authors show that non-gonadal LHR, at least in mice, are not required for pregnancy.

Exploring new places, people and ideas!
I like meeting new people and exploring different places whether I am getting to know a neighborhood or exploring a different country. A great Saturday afternoon would include walking through a part of the city I don't know well, exploring different shops, grabbing a meal in a cute cafe and tucking into a neighborhood bar for a drink. I'm an active and healthy person. I enjoy the brisk air of a morning hike or a lazy afternoon stroll. I don't know how to sail but I enjoy being on boats. Some of my favorite summer days have involved a few good friends, a boat, music and hours of free time to jump off and swim, laugh and eat fresh food before starting all over again. I'm a curious person. Whether through conversation or a good book or magazine articles, learning about other people's experiences, history and perspectives is enriching. I especially welcome being pushed to think differently. My friends would describe me as curious with a good sense of humor, a bit mischievous and always ready to gab over a glass of wine, listen to live music, or take a holiday. I've spent a large part of the last 12 years living in Africa and Asia. I work in public health and it's opened the door for me to travel and make great friendships. This also means I've spent a lot of time looking for the best deal in local markets and getting to know different shop owners. Friends who have visited tell me that I have the patience and determination to negotiate like a local, all the while smiling. I'm looking for a partner. I'm drawn to sharp intellect, ambition and wit. I'm looking for someone who can find fun in everyday things, has a positive attitude and maintains a physically active lifestyle. .
Book club , Coffee and conversation , Cooking , Movies/Videos , Music and concerts , Travel/Sightseeing
Cycling, Walking / Hiking, Yoga
I exercise 5 or more times per week.
I like Dogs
Having recently moved back to the US after living abroad, I am not familiar with DC but am already looking forward to enjoying the different parks, summer outdoors, live music, and various cultural and political events.
I love trying new recipes and different spices whether in my own kitchen or in a local restaurant. I enjoy a range of music and have enjoyed hearing Ozomatli, the Avett Brothers and the Tallest Man on Earth live
I enjoy being outdoors, curling up with a cup of coffee and the paper, trying new recipes, meeting friends, or escaping the city for a day or weekend.
I recently read "The Warmth of Other Suns" by Isabel Wilkerson. Her powerful and personal approach and extensive research exposed me to a history that I knew little about and challenged me to think differently about migration and interaction.

It was a tough night for the New England Patriots, who suffered a 36 ŌĆō 35 loss to the St. Louis Rams in their first exhibition loss of 2010 Thursday night at Gillette Stadium.
After a very exciting start in which Brandon Tate had an explosive 97-yard touchdown on the opening kickoff, it went downhill quickly for the team. The number one overall pick Sam Bradford showed why he got paid the highest rookie contract in NFL history,┬Āwith the Rams' quarterback carving the Patriots' defense for 189 yards, and 2 TDs.
On the opening drive for the Rams, Bradford drove down the field in 10 plays, 74-yards in 5:34, which isn't exactly the way you want your defense to start against a team that won a mere one game last season.┬Ā That seemed to be the theme for the night as the Patriots defense had a difficult time stopping the Rams offense.┬Ā┬Ā Not to mention the time-of-possession was completely lopsided in the defeat, only having control of the ball for a little over 16 minutes for the game.┬Ā
The Rams looked very good for a large majority of the game but that is simply no excuse for the Patriots.┬Ā Belichick kept the ŌĆ£first teamŌĆØ through the second half into the third quarter after the defensive unit had a near horrendous night. In the post-game press conference Belichick said, ŌĆ£In a game of no defense, we didnŌĆÖt play anyŌĆØ,┬Ā ŌĆ£We just didnŌĆÖt do a good job. We didnŌĆÖt have a good night.ŌĆØ┬Ā
Obviously there is work to do across the board if the team wants to be successful in the coming weeks.
Some other notes – As spectacular as Bradford was, Tom BradyŌĆÖs performance was superior as┬Āhe once again looked sharp┬Āfinishing 18-of-22 for┬Ā273 yards, and 3TDs. I expect more of the same greatness in the coming weeks and his pre-season has been very clean…Laurence Maroney sat on the sidelines and did not start, as Sammy Morris got the nod at running back. PatriotŌĆÖs fans should start to question his position on the depth chart…On defense, James Sanders started for the team, perhaps to showcase his abilities in hopes for a trade. After all, safety is one of the Patriots deepest positions on the roster. Also, after a solid start for Devin McCourty he struggled greatly on almost every play. Hopefully this is a game he can put behind him…Tight ends were once again relevant in the Patriots offense and Rob Gronkowski continues to show why he was one of the top TE prospects coming in the NFL. At 6ŌĆÖ6 265, he is a big target and very hard to bring down (Ask James Laurinaitis about that). He played fantastic and I very much enjoy watching him develop….The Patriots showed a serious lack of discipline with 3 helmet-to-helmet penalties throughout the game and also the serious┬Ātime of possession┬Ādifferential. Not holding and sustaining drives combined with silly penalties is a formula for disaster…Brandon Tate showed why he could be a playmaker for this team. His return and receiving ability will surely make him relevant this year.
I could spend more time talking about the few positives of tonightŌĆÖs game but they were simply overshadowed by the negatives. I am disappointed by the overall performance of the team but, this was just practice. With the regular season just a little over two weeks away, the Patriots need to utilize the rest of the time cleaning up their act. Simply put, tonightŌĆÖs performance was simply unacceptable.

London - David Beckham has refused to rule out the possibility of resurrecting his England career after making a successful return from injury for the Los Angeles Galaxy.
The 35-year-old icon took to the field for the first time in six months on Saturday, coming on as a substitute in the Galaxy's 3-1 defeat of Major League Soccer rivals Columbus Crew.
England manager Fabio Capello created a controversy last month after indicating Beckham was too old to feature in his plans for the Euro 2012 qualifying campaign.
But Beckham told Sky Sports News in an interview he still wanted to be considered by Capello.
"I'd like to be available to play for England," Beckham said. "If I'm fit then I'm sure the (England) manager will consider me."
Beckham would almost certainly have played in his fourth World Cup this year but was ruled out after snapping an achilles tendon while playing for AC Milan in March.
The former Manchester United and Real Madrid star admitted he feared he might never play again after the injury.
"As positive a person as I am when I did the injury there are doubts that go through your mind. 'Am I ever going to play again?'" he said. "When you have a serious injury like this it does cross your mind."

It's a sign of a brazen artist that puts one of their best tracks last. See Prince's 'Purple Rain', The Beatles' 'A Day In The Life', Springsteen's 'Jungleland', The Clash's 'Train In Vain', Stone Roses' 'I Am The Resurrection', Bowie's 'Rock 'N' Roll Suicide', Radiohead's 'Motion Picture Soundtrack'... But it isn't just closing tracks that can sew up an album perfectly. Sometimes more specifically a final lyric, solo, shift in key or hidden track drops the curtain in just the right way. Ash's hidden track of the band vomiting, for example, was a memorable way to finish off 1977.
My favourite album ending is the final third of the closing track on Pond's 'Hobo Rocket'. The record is a fuzzy, heavy, rambling psych-garage jumble that's not always easy on the ear. 'Midnight Mass (At the Market St Payphone)' starts similarly with squeals, head-bangingly relentless drums and caterwauling guitars. But three minutes in, the song gently transmogrifies into something completely different and seriously beautiful. Loops of feedback wheel hypnotically before a simple riff floats to the surface. And then at 3:51, the sweetest, gentlest, saddest guitar solo comes in. It's more of a riff really - repeated as it is for the rest of the song - but it's one of those moments when the instrument sounds human, as if it's longing or crying or desperate for something, soaring out of this grungy farrago like a blissed-out phoenix.

Any KPS88 or K90 users have experience with the IG Prestige Pro?

> So right now you use the IG prestige MP with no lead.
I use an IG Prestige MP with lead and silicone. It's a polarized setup with 30 inches of lead between 10 and 2. My YT Prestige MPs were a different setup. 20 inches of lead between 10 and 2 and 8 inches at 3/9 each. I needed the lead a 3/9 for stability and maybe it gave me some of the PWS effect.
> I saw it got very good reviews but I like my
> frames a little heavier so I wanted to go for
> the Pro. Do you see any downside for me?
I prefer to start with a lighter platform and then add weight to get to where things go. My IGs came to me already matched and customized and I haven't made any other changes.
> Do you mind the thicker beam width compared
> to your wilson frames?
The YTs felt very much like my KPS88s. It might be that I found the right combination of lead tape placement to get that feel. The beam width didn't bother me.
> Also are you very happy with your head frames overall?
I moved to the IG Prestige MPs because of the VSBabolat thread. I picked up four frames but I just left them in my closet for five or six months because I was happy with the YTs. I had arm problems with the KPS88s from time to time but they were great to play with. The most annoying thing about them was their inconsistency - I had frames from 12.6 oz to 13.1 oz stock. I also had a few arm problems with the YTs but it was something that I could live with. Then I gave the IGs a shot (I had some frustrating issues due to my stringer putting in something else because he was out of my favorite) and I found that it was a far more stable racquet. I didn't need the lead at 3/9 for stability so I could go with a pure polarized setup and it was better for my arm. What I lost, of course, was a fair amount of feel. I can live with the tradeoff at this point though.
My thoughts are that YT was Head's version of K-Factor - that is the stiffening of the frame and that IG is Head's version of BLX - added dampening. Some people prefer the stiff, raw feeling which gives you a lot of feedback and some people prefer a more muted feeling. If you're after a lot of feel, I don't think that you'll like the IG. At my age, though, the better arm health is more important than the feel.

Checkered Bone Resin Knobs, Set of 2 3 3
Outstanding addition! I purchased checkered bone rain knobs to accent a hand painted table..they were the perfect addition to my table and really provided the perfect finishing touch. I loved them so much I bought another two sets and now have a custom look in my kitchen. May 16, 2015
Very chic knobs! These knobs make my white dresser pop! They are super cute. December 11, 2014
Disappointed with service, not product. Cost Plus was unable to fill my order entirely forcing me to my local store. They had tons of the product, but it was 2X as much as the internet price. Additionally, these knobs have a 3 in stem. What in the world would they be used for? I will use mine on kitchen cabs, but will have to have someone cut off the stem so I don't poke an eye out when I open cabinet doors! December 9, 2013

Mt. McKinley: Van Deventer & Team Take A Weather Day at 11,200'
Posted by: Josh Maggard, Pete Van Deventer, Robby Young | May 22, 2015
Categories: *Expedition Dispatches *Mount McKinley
Elevation: 11,200'
May 21, 2015 - 11:31 pm PT
Mt. McKinley made it abundantly clear today that we were welcome to stay in the tents, but were not welcome to move higher. Big snow plumes above us and swirling clouds, snow, and wind in camp made the decision to rest for the day easy. We passed the time with a long brunch, some tent time, and another long dinner session hanging out in the posh. This evening our visibility improved, the sun shone through, and the winds diminished, so we're hopeful that we'll take a take two tomorrow and head up to 14,000'. Keep your finger crossed for us.

The team has made it to Camp 1 in almost perfect style. I am on my seventh Denali climb as a guide and have never gone from Base Camp to Camp 1 with such seamlessness. No one had a single sled issue or cursed my name for giving them so much gear. No one got a blister or fell behind a single second. Like I said earlier, I am very pleased with this team. One day down, who knows how many more to go.
Stay tuned for tomorrow's report.

Mt. McKinley: Walter & Team Rest at 14,000'

Hello from 14k on Denali!
We took a planned rest day today, which was a good thing because the weather was a bit inhospitable this morning in camp. Winds were swirling and blowing snow around, with very little visibility. We took advantage of the situation and had a three hour brunch in the comfort and relative luxury of our cook tent. The weather improved a bit in the afternoon, and we did some work around camp fortifying our snow walls. By this evening, the skies were nearly clear and the wind was light at camp. Strong winds were still obvious up higher on the route. The weather forecast for the next few days is still calling for high winds? So our plan is to sit tight and wait for a better weather window in which to climb higher. In the mean time, we're resting, acclimating, and telling lies in the cook tent. We'll keep you posted as we continue to watch the weather.

Alaska Seminar: Dave & Team Train at 9,800'

Here we are at 9,800' for a second night. This morning the winds continued to whip at the surrounding ridges and moving camp up the Kahiltna Dome was not prudent. However we were able to go for a venture towards Kahiltna Pass to see what there was to see. Good times trying to get over the bergschrund which was a trap door of deep faceted snow. Towards the top of the ridge we met firm icy conditions that forced us back down. Good times nevertheless! If the weather improves tomorrow we will make an attempt on the Dome.
Good night!

About me
I am a designing jeweler and metalsmith, and I began creating jewelry as a hobby in the mid-80's. After 20 years in corporate management, I decided to make my passion my full-time pursuit, obtained training in metalsmithing and gemology, and plotted my "escape". My company, Alison Julien Collection (TM), was eventually born and specializes in fine jewelry and fine art jewelry.
I design and create just about everything you see in my booth and my pieces are made one-at-a-time right here in Texas, USA. I love working with precious metals and creating unique designs to show off beautiful gemstones (all of which I hand-select and test to ensure authenticity). The thought of people in many parts of the world wearing and enjoying things I have made with my own hands is very fulfilling. I enjoy working with clients and custom orders are always welcome.
Thanks for checking my profile. I hope you'll browse my booth and perhaps treat yourself to one of the little treasures waiting for you there.
